Suddenly, the moon passed, and everything seemed to be calm again.

Li Longyan went back and forth to the martial arts academy every day, safe and sound. He sometimes sat in a carriage and looked around at the pedestrians on the road to see which one of them was the master who was secretly following.

There are people coming and going on the street, the peddlers and pawns who push carts to pull goods, the aunts and aunts who buy vegetables and shout, the old man who smokes dry tobacco leisurely under the roots of the tree, the beggar who basks in the sun and catches lice in the corner, the middle-aged uncle who fried oil cakes, and the drunk who drank crookedly.

Li Ji was also curious. Of course, he knew all the masters of the main hall, but the second brother did not arrange for the masters of the main hall to come, just because most of these people in the Jiangnan martial arts also knew each other, and they were not secretive enough; he sent another group of people over, and even Li Ji did not tell them. Li Ji sometimes watched and speculated with his son, and his vision was much better than that of his son, but he couldn't see why.

Sometimes he noticed that a person on the street was obviously armed with martial arts, but he didn't know if it was sent by Li Xiang.

After guessing for a few days, they couldn't see the clue, and the father and son lost interest, so they wandered leisurely every day, either enjoying the street scenery or dozing off in the carriage.

Li Jiatang used the contact code of the Soul Transformation Sect to lure the enemy, but the effect was good, and in the past month, seven people were captured around Hangzhou City, and two people were captured in the city.

The people who were caught, there were old people and young people. Those who resisted were killed on the spot, and those captured alive were all interrogated separately, asking them about the address of the head church, about the distribution of disciples in the sect, and about what their future movements were. After the interrogation, they were all executed.

Li Jiatang's methods are also quite ruthless, firstly, the other party is ruthless, and secondly, it is also necessary to show the majesty of the Li family in Jiangnan and let the world know the consequences of violating the Li family.

Li Longyan's protective soft armor has been repaired by master craftsmen, and the best materials such as silk and fine steel scales have been added to make it stronger and stronger, but the weight has not increased much, and it still fits properly when worn on the body.

It's March now, and in just over a month, it's time for the Junying Competition.

In the Heavenly Star Martial Academy, several disciples who were expected to participate in the competition practiced more diligently. Xia Fan has been practicing the Six Wonderful Meditation Internal Skills day and night, and his strength has doubled, and he is already the first disciple to be selected.

Yuan Ye had been instructed by Xin Yuanzi before, and his understanding and application of martial arts had also entered the hall, which was better than that of ordinary disciples. A few days ago, he fought another strong disciple and knocked him out in less than twenty moves.

After every victory, he has mixed feelings. These martial arts principles taught by Xin Yuanzi are quite practical in reality, and in any case, this person at least did not deceive himself in teaching martial arts. As the saying goes, if you have a master's advice for a day, you will be used for life, the more Yuan Ye practiced, the deeper his appreciation for this sentence, and at the same time, his gratitude to Xin Yuanzi increased.

It's just that the situation changed later, not as I expected, and Xin Yuanzi had a karma, which ended, and when I thought about it in my spare time, I couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Xin Yuanzi killed Wang Chaoyang, Li Longyan also told Liu Yanfeng, and said that Yuan Ye had no knowledge and had nothing to do with him. Liu Yanfeng was also greatly surprised when he heard about Heilonggang. He has no resentment against Yuan Ye, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, with shallow experience in the rivers and lakes, and misbefriending bad people, it is also ordinary, and he should be cautious in the future. It's just that Li Longyan's martial arts can't help but look up to him again.

Of course, Li Longyan did not say that he had killed someone, this was a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't talk about it to any outsiders.

In five days, it will be the day of selection for the Joonyoung competition.

There are eight disciples who signed up for the selection, and they are all the best among the protégés.

Li Longyan is not among them, he has been designated by Liu Yanfeng to replace Wang Chaoyang, and there is no need to participate in the selection.

Liu Yanfeng announced in public that anyone who disagrees with Li Longyan can challenge him at any time, and if he can defeat him, he will get a place in the competition.

No one challenged him. That time outside the martial arts academy, Li Longyan knocked down a group of Jianghu martial artists, which has shown that he is strong enough, and the disciples know that they have a few catties and a few taels, and they will not come forward and run into a wall without a head.

Even if someone really wins Li Longyan in martial arts, he will not rashly challenge, this is the candidate named by Master Liu himself, if he defeats him and makes it clear that he is swiping Master Liu's face in public, will Master Liu be happy?

If your martial arts are better than Li Longyan, and you get a place in the competition, it will be ironclad, why do you have to get along with Master Liu, wouldn't it be stupid?

These young men are naturally not fools, they are more than a thief, and they all understand this simple human sophistication.

Xia Fan and Yuan Ye also signed up, and Shangguan Junfeng and Jiang Haoran were among them.

Although Li Longyan did not have to participate in the selection, he still did not relax in his cultivation of martial arts, but became more diligent.

The last time he fought with Sang Baihan, it was a real life-and-death fight, and that battle made him have a lot of epiphanies.

I thought that I could confuse the other party by fighting with the enemy with the Tianxingmen Introductory Boxing Technique, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of the old Jianghu, I was so superficial and ridiculous, and I almost gave my life for it.

Li Ji once scolded: "Do you think that the other party is just like you, they are all casual hairy boys? These Jianghu warriors have gone through countless battles, and their eyes and minds are extremely spicy. The first time you accidentally injured that Liang Sanquan, Sang Baihan was already prepared in his heart, how could he fall for your fool again? If you used the Wind Cutting Technique from the beginning, even if you didn't win, you would never lose. Partial life pretended to be smart, used the Tianxingmen introductory boxing method to fight with him, and when he changed his boxing method, he showed a vacancy, thinking that the other party would inevitably be fooled, and he did not leave a back hand for his moves, and was caught by the other party in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the fact that you had the Xuantie brand to protect you, you would be the same as that Wang Chaoyang at this moment!"

Li Longyan was sweating coldly on his back, thinking that he was really lucky, so he picked up a life and came back.

Li Ji said again: "This lesson is in exchange for your life, you think about it yourself! Last time, your mother also told you, don't think that you have learned superior martial arts, and look down on other martial arts people, if you really want to fight with those second-rate masters, you may not be able to win." You didn't take it to heart when you thought about it, but this time it came true, are you convinced?

"Hmph, to be honest, your current martial arts are still far behind! Although your internal skills are good, your understanding of martial arts is still half a jar of water. Martial arts can be learned slowly, but there is one thing that must always be remembered, that is, no enemy should be taken lightly.

"Look at your third uncle, his martial arts are so high that he has reached the realm of supernatural transformation, but when he fought with the master of the Spirit Transformation Sect a few days ago, even if he had the upper hand, he still attacked and defended in a measured manner, and he did not lose the law when he advanced and retreated, and finally won steadily. He knows that the more defeated the person is, the more fierce the counterattack will be, what tricks are hidden by others, and you don't know, carelessness at this time is the most fatal.

"You only have one life, and if you give it away, it will be gone, and you will not regret taking the medicine. This incident should be a lesson. If you don't always have a humble and cautious heart, a sense of honesty and morality, and become arrogant and arrogant, he will not end well in the future! ”

After his father's teachings, Li Longyan listened respectfully and kept them in mind.
