Chapter Thirty-Eight: Re-emergence
On this day, in a small manor in a small town more than fifty miles outside Xiaoyao City, Ren Xiaoyao sat on the main seat, next to Hua Xiaoshuang, Ah Biao and Cai Ye sat on both sides of Ren Xiaoyao's lower position, and Ren Xiaoyao's six apprentices in the first batch of orphans, as well as some backbone elites of Xiaoyao City, stood on both sides. These are the elites in Xiaoyao City, although Xiaoyao City has not been established for a long time, but in the process of establishment, there are many twists and turns, Ren Xiaoyao is only a guide, and they are the main ones who eliminate difficulties, so they have feelings for Xiaoyao City. After Ren Xiaoyao disappeared, they were at a loss like the lost backbone, if it wasn't for Hua Xiaoshuang to pass on Ren Xiaoyao's news in time, maybe something would have happened. Now that Ren Xiaoyao has returned, they no longer have to hide, they can raise their eyebrows on the rivers and lakes, and their hearts are extremely happy.
"Boss, you're finally back, I'm worried about killing me!"
The first to speak was the straightforward Ah Biao, after the establishment of Xiaoyao City, Ah Biao used to call Ren Xiaoyao the city lord like everyone else, but at Ren Xiaoyao's insistence, Ah Biao has always called him the boss.
"Yes, since the city lord disappeared for more than half a year, we have been tied down when developing business, and the development of Xiaoyao City is very sluggish, so we can only basically maintain expenses, and I haven't let them carry out many businesses. Now that the city lord is back, Xiaoyao City can make a lot of money. β
Cai Ye also echoed on the side, when Ren Xiaoyao disappeared, he asked Hua Xiaoshuang to pass on the news, so Cai Ye's Xiaoyao City has always adopted a conservative business mode and has not expanded on a large scale. Because the more you expand, the more you need capital and manpower, and when most of the manpower in Xiaoyao City turns to develop in secret, it really can't support the expansion of Xiaoyao City. Watching a lot of silver flow away from his hands every day, Cai Ye didn't mention how uncomfortable it was, but it was Ren Xiaoyao's order, and he Cai Ye could only resolutely carry it out.
"Just you rotten cabbage, you only think about making money, look at your belly, it's as big as my two. β
Ah Biao pointed to Cai Ye's stomach and sneered. attracted a group of people next to him who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they were uncomfortable there.
Both of them came out of the original Qi Tianzhai and mixed with Ren Xiaoyao, they were familiar with each other, and often made some jokes. Since the opening of Xiaoyao City, one of the two is in charge of management, and the other is in charge of defense work, and they usually have few opportunities to meet, so they are busy seizing the opportunity to satirize each other when they meet, which can be regarded as a relaxing moment after busy work. However, only Ah Biao dared to make fun of Cai Ye like this, and others were quite in awe of Cai Ye, because this Cai Ye was called Mr. Cai, with a vicious vision, for a new generation of business wizards, he controlled all the finances of Xiaoyao City, and the money he handled was often millions of tens of millions of taels, and now his reputation in the rich circle of the Great Yan Dynasty was only a little worse than that of the richest man Deng Dafuren.
"I don't think it's for the development of Xiaoyao City to make money, otherwise where will the money come from to pay you a salary? β
Regarding Ah Biao's sarcasm, Cai Ye was unceremoniously sarcastic.
"Okay, don't quarrel yet, let's talk about business first!"
Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand and stopped the quarrel between the two. Ren Xiaoyao never intervenes in the quarrel between the two, which is a way for them to enhance their friendship, which is a good phenomenon.
"Ah Biao, tell me first, I asked you to investigate the situation of the sects I destroyed and the people I challenged, as well as the attack on Xiaoyao Villa and the assassination of me in Fenghua Building, how did you investigate?" Ren Xiaoyao asked Ah Biao first.
"Boss, do you want to talk about it now?" Ah Biao looked at the people around him, although these people were all the backbone elites of Xiaoyao City, but some things were too important, and Ah Biao didn't want them to know.
"It's okay, just say it, some of them are my apprentices, and some are the backbone elites of Xiaoyao City, I plan to form the Xiaoyao faction immediately, they are the first batch of elders of the Xiaoyao faction, there are some things that they should know. Ren Xiaoyao said lightly.
Ren Xiaoyao's words shocked everyone greatly, and they were all extremely excited. You know, these people all have the dream of a free school. When Ren Xiaoyao was training them, he told them the concept of the Xiaoyao School from time to time, but he did not establish the Xiaoyao School for a long time, nor did he let them consider themselves disciples of the Xiaoyao School, they always thought that they were not qualified enough and needed some tests. Now that Ren Xiaoyao said this, that is to say, he fully believed in them, they could become the elders of the Xiaoyao faction, this was their dream, how could they not be excited.
Ah Biao's heart moved, and he was also excited, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, and now he is also a person who has experienced strong winds, and he is also from some cities. Looking at Ren Xiaoyao, Ah Biao sorted out his thoughts for a while before saying:
"Most of the people who have been challenged by the boss are normal, and some of them have grievances but have not taken action, and we have not collected evidence against them, so we just investigated them and did not take action. But there are sixteen of them, in recent years, the whereabouts are strange, we have thirteen of them exact evidence against the boss, in the process of investigation, two people have been killed, the rest of us have mastered their whereabouts, sects and family members, etc., if the boss wants, I can call up the information to the boss at any time. As for the sects that have been destroyed by the boss, we have secretly investigated the remaining personnel, and only the small half is in the exact actions that are unfavorable to Xiaoyao City, but among these small half of the people, they are basically not related to the attack on Xiaoyao Villa and the Fenghualou incident, I just investigated their foothold, the remaining sects, etc., and this information has also been recorded, and updated every seven days, the boss can see at any time. In addition, in the incident of the attack on Xiaoyao Villa, we started with the martial arts of the three who escaped, and found that the martial arts of two of them were likely to come from the first demon gate in the rivers and lakes, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the other person used first-class swordsmanship, this kind of swordsmanship has been lost in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and we found through investigation that the sword spectrum fell into the hands of the Divine Sword Gate sixty years ago. Fenghualou incident because the assassination of the boss of the people are dead, we only from the scene to learn the information to investigate, our investigators rushed to the scene as soon as possible, found that their weapons are from the Sword Villa, we investigated the Sword Villa and found that the Sword Villa took over a business a few years ago, to help a group of mysterious people to build a group of soldiers, they don't know who they want to build the soldiers, but we sent a few masters to secretly restrain the owner of the Sword Villa, under the threat of his family, he told us that the person who introduced him to this business is a know-it-allγ We tried to find a jack of all trades, but this person was like disappearing from the rivers and lakes, and we couldn't find it. We investigated from the poison on the weapon, and found that there are almost no of these kinds of poisonous rivers and lakes, and we also found out by chance that there is a jungle in the extreme west of the Great Yan Dynasty, and there is a Five Poison Sect in it, which has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, but they are in the company of poisonous insects all day long, and the poison made by the holy relics poisonous insects in their sect is eight points similar to the poison in the boss's house, and most of the people we first sent to investigate died, all of them were poisoned by the poisonous insects in the jungle, and when they came back, they were attacked by people, and most of them were killed and injured. Later, when we sent people to investigate, we found that the entire sect of the Five Poisons Sect was missing, and it should have been relocated or wiped out. We started with Fenghualou again, but Fenghualou is too mysterious, and does not often appear on the rivers and lakes, we can only start from the people who have been to Fenghualou, after investigation, it was found that behind Fenghualou is a hidden gate, but this sect is not really hidden, Fenghualou is their channel to collect information about the rivers and lakes.
......
In the process of investigating, we encountered some resistance, some people or clues, inexplicably broken, some brothers were killed inexplicably, because the boss said that all investigation work has to be carried out secretly, so we can't do a better job. β
After talking for half an hour, Ah Biao drank three sips of tea in a row before he finished reporting all the information he had investigated.
After listening to Ah Biao's report, Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a while and did not react. The people who waited for Ren Xiaoyao to react were not in a hurry, they knew that their city director Xiaoyao must already have the answer in his heart. After a while, Ren Xiaoyao finally asked Cai Ye:
"Manager Cai, I asked you to collect the world's medicinal materials and the world's strange stones, what do you gain?"
Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao finally asked himself, Cai Ye tidied up the luxurious clothes on his body, and said sternly:
"The city lord asked me to collect medicinal materials that are more than five hundred years old in the world, and I cooperated with some merchants of the Great Yan Dynasty through guΓ², and collected a total of forty-two medicinal materials that are more than a thousand years old, and one hundred and thirty-seven medicinal materials that are more than five hundred years to one thousand years old in Xiaoyao City and the entire Great Yan Dynasty and some surrounding countries. Among them, because the brother in the city was sick, two thousand-year-old and five five-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs were used. As for the strange stones in the world, because the information given by the city lord is too little, I don't know how to collect them, so I found some treasure experts, and I have also collected more than a dozen boxes of strange stones in the past six months, but I don't know which ones are needed by the city lord, so they are all stored separately, and the city lord can see it at any time. β
"It's necessary for brothers to use money or medicinal materials when they are sick, it doesn't matter if they are used for thousands of years, the lives of brothers are the most important, you can make your own decisions in the future, you don't have to report to me. As for the medicinal herbs and strange stones, I'll take a look at them later. β
Being able to use thousand-year-old medicinal materials or hundred-year-old medicinal materials to save his own life, Ren Xiaoyao felt that it was very worthwhile. Originally, he collected these medicinal materials to send them to that immortal cultivator, as long as the relationship between the Divine Sword Sect and that side was good, it didn't matter much if he sent a little more or a little less. And at this time, it is very good for winning people's hearts, and Ren Xiaoyao can see that the brothers standing below have a strange expression on their faces.
"Next, will you come with me to the courtyard?"
Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao had already taken the lead in leaving his seat and came to the courtyard slowly, and after everyone came to the courtyard quickly, Ren Xiaoyao said again:
"Tianxin, Diyan, Xuanming, Huang De, Zhendao, Wutong, the six of you come forward. β
These six people are the six apprentices of Ren Xiaoyao, when Ren Xiaoyao accepted them, although they all had names, they were all the names of ordinary people. After Ren Xiaoyao accepted them, he named them according to the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Zhenwu, and he didn't know what it meant, but he probably thought it was very popular.
These six people had to be personally instructed in martial arts, and they were specially trained by Ah Biao, so in the past three years, they have already become first-class masters, and they have rich experience in the rivers and lakes. Now some of them have martial arts no less than Ah Biao, but they have always respected Ah Biao. Ah Biao is more like a master to them, because their training is presided over by Ah Biao, and many of the previous martial arts were guided by Ah Biao. For Ren Xiaoyao, they are more worshipful thoughts, they were all orphans when they were young, hungry and cold, and had to be adopted by Ren Xiaoyao, so they were grateful to Ren Xiaoyao, and later Ren Xiaoyao taught them martial arts, accepted them as apprentices, and told them the essence of the Xiaoyao school's thoughts, and they regarded Ren Xiaoyao more as a god-like being, not just a master.
"Meet the Master!"
Six people knelt down on one knee in unison.
"Get up, you don't have to be so gifted, you should all know the essence of my thoughts, all things in heaven and earth, what the heart wants, where the heart wants, heaven and earth are free. β
Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, and a miraculous power came out of his body, and the six people stood up in unison, unable to kneel anymore.
The six of them were full of surprise and excitement, and their admiration for Ren Xiaoyao increased by another point. The surrounding Ah Biao and some other elite disciples were also shocked, they were all first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, you must know that there are only a handful of people in the rivers and lakes who can bring out the internal force so naturally, and Ren Xiaoyao is about two meters away from his six apprentices, but he can easily lift up six kneeling people, the depth of his internal force can be imagined.
"Master leads you in, the cultivation is personal, and each of you can get the full true transmission of me, but how far you can go depends on your own efforts. Now, I'll test your martial arts first, and the six of you will attack me in any way, even if you kill me, as long as you can do it. After the test, I will teach and instruct the martial arts accordingly according to your table, okay, let's get started. β
After speaking, Ren Xiaoyao stood with his hands tied, waiting for the six of them to make a move.
Six people, you look at me, I look at you, nodded and signaled, suddenly, the six people scattered like the wind footwork, and surrounded Ren Xiaoyao in a strange formation, but did not attack, but waited for Ren Xiaoyao's reaction. Unmoved, Ren Xiaoyao motioned for them to begin. The six of them understood, and suddenly launched an attack on Ren Xiaoyao's whole body, and as soon as they made a move, it was a killer move, attacking all directions of Ren Xiaoyao's body, and it was almost impossible to hide. This formation is a very famous combined attack formation they obtained from the rivers and lakes, called the Six Palaces Formation Formation, and in their impression, no one has survived their encirclement. They blindly worshiped Ren Xiaoyao, thinking that Ren Xiaoyao was omnipotent, and let Ren Xiaoyao let them attack with all their might, and they had seen Ren Xiaoyao's terrifying methods before, so they used this six-palace encirclement formation without hesitation. Ah Biao, who saw their formation on the side, was also shocked, the six people used the Six Palaces to encircle the formation, he was really afraid that Ren Xiaoyao would die under this formation, but he had inexplicable confidence in Ren Xiaoyao, and he was very much looking forward to Ren Xiaoyao's next expression. As for the others, although some people don't know that these six people have a six-palace encirclement array, but they have rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and they know that this formation is very clever at a glance, and they are very much looking forward to the next performance, they don't know the power of the formation, but they are not worried about Ren Xiaoyao's safety, it is just a scene where the master tests his apprentice.
I saw that the six people attacked Ren Xiaoyao like a storm, like a cloud of air, without any effort, their weapons were about to touch Ren Xiaoyao, but they were dodged by Ren Xiaoyao, or even if they touched Ren Xiaoyao's body, the sword would slide away from Ren Xiaoyao's body, or inexplicably another sword attacked from the side, blocking their own attack, and even Ren Xiaoyao's hands directly evolved into all kinds of weapons, as if they were defending, and as if they were going to attack them, they were scared to quickly defend, but they lost the opportunity because of thisγ The attack of the six people was impenetrable, but Ren Xiaoyao turned into a few figures and was comfortable in the field, and he was surprised to see the mouths of the people around him open wide. They are self-aware, if they are under such a siege, I am afraid that in less than three rounds, they will die under the chaotic sword, and Ren Xiaoyao has been under such a siege for half an hour, and there is no sign of defeat at all.
Half an hour later, only to hear a "poof", a circular internal force shock wave emanated from Ren Xiaoyao's body, shaking his six apprentices away together. Only then did everyone realize that at this time, Ren Xiaoyao's six apprentices were all sweating, soaking wet, and panting heavily, and there were more than a dozen cuts on their clothes, all of which were deliberately cut by Ren Xiaoyao. The six people lost so badly, they all lowered their heads embarrassedly, among the six people, the dialect and the truth are women, Ren Xiaoyao only cut through their most superficial layer of clothes, but they also looked very embarrassed when they exposed their underwear, their faces were flushed, and they lowered their heads one after another.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't want to entangle with them about embarrassing things, so he said directly:
"I think you all remember your attack just now, the tear in your clothes is the guidance I gave you, you go back and experience it for yourself, after seven days, I will give each of you an hour to ask me for advice, and how much you can learn at that time is up to you. β
"Yes, thank you, Master!"
The six of them knelt down in unison, looking excited. In the battle with Ren Xiaoyao just now, they all had a deep understanding, and now that they saw the breach on their bodies, combined with the fight just now, they could realize that there was a very profound way of martial arts hidden in it, how could this make them not excited!
......
"Okay, Ah Biao and Cai Ye stay, everyone else retreats, prepare separately, we will have a big operation soon!"
After testing the disciples, Ren Xiaoyao had a brief exchange with the other elites of Xiaoyao City, and then disbanded everyone, leaving only Ah Biao and Hua Xiaoshuang.
