Punching Bag

“Do you know everything?”

“You’re not to blame. You did it to save me. Otherwise, I’d be dead.”

At this point, Zhang Ronghua stopped being pretentious. He took the Origin Divine Jade and put it into his Five Dragon Spirit Control Belt.

He did not tie it around his waist. This was the identity certificate of the Grand Tutor’s residence. If he tied it around his waist, others would see it. It was inevitable that he would think too much about it. It was better to avoid trouble.

He took out some food and handed it over.

“The conditions are simple. I’ll eat something to fill my stomach first.”

Ji Xueyan took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face that could be torn with a single blow. She was really too beautiful. Words were indescribable. Even the sun and moon paled in comparison.

Zhang Ronghua did not look at it anymore and looked away.

Although it was only a hurried glance, her beauty was branded in his heart.

It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted, but he knew his limits. This was the Crown Prince’s fiancée, the future empress of the Xia Kingdom. There was no possibility between them.

If it were a girl from an ordinary family, he would definitely make a move.

But there were not so many ifs in the world…

She ate steamed buns, sauced beef, and occasionally took a sip of water, but her attention was on Zhang Ronghua.

Seeing that he wasn’t infatuated with her beauty and staring at her and that he hadn’t been rude, her impression of him rose to another level. This was a man of propriety and principle.

After a day and night of rain, it finally stopped.

Like a child whose face had changed, a seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain. Sunlight shone down, but it was already afternoon. In a while, it would be dark.

A cold aura came from outside without warning. Several poison bombs were thrown in.

Zhang Ronghua reacted quickly and stood up from the ground. “Take care of yourself.”

He waved his palm.

The powerful palm force swept these poisonous bullets away.

He tapped his foot and rushed out of the cave.

The poison bomb exploded on the ground, shooting out hundreds of poisonous needles and mist.

An old man in a gray robe stood on a stone a hundred feet away. He had his hands behind his back and looked at him coldly. His name was Daoist Nine Tribulations. He did not hide his powerful aura and emitted the pressure of the tenth level of the Great Grandmaster Realm.

“You’ve been following us?”

“A little smart. You guessed it so quickly!”

The tone changed, and the Nine Tribulations Daoist narrowed his eyes. “How does it feel to be the apple of the Grand Tutor’s eye? If word gets out that you’re fooling around together, the Crown Prince will definitely have a wonderful expression when he finds out.”

“Shut up!”

The afterimage flew past and erupted too quickly. As if teleporting, Zhang Ronghua appeared in front of him.

He was filled with anger and was worried that he had nowhere to vent it when he came knocking on his door.

Daoist Nine Tribulations was shocked and wanted to resist. He could not even see his movements clearly. His mind collapsed, and a thought that even he could not believe appeared. Could this be a Celestial Realm expert?

With his cultivation, he could remain undefeated even against a half-step Celestial.

Only a Celestial Realm expert could make him unable to fight back.

Bang!

A violent kick landed on his face and sent him flying. Before he could fall to the ground, Zhang Ronghua’s figure flickered, as fast as a ghost. His fists and legs greeted him crazily, venting to his heart’s content.

When he stopped, Daoist Nine Tribulations had already lost half his life, and his body was dyed red.

Zhang Ronghua stepped on his chest and pressed, “Tell me! Which prince sent you?”

“The Crown Prince has good methods. He deceived everyone with one move.”

Zhang Ronghua exerted strength with his foot and broke two of his ribs.

Daoist Nine Tribulations mocked. He was not afraid at all, nor did he scream. “Even if the Crown Prince tries his best, he’s destined not to receive any news.”

Zhang Ronghua reacted quickly and kicked the teeth in his mouth.

Bang, bang…

His meridians exploded, and he died.

“He reversed his meridian flow?”

He squatted down and searched his body, but found nothing.

They entered the cave.

Ji Xueyan had already recovered a little and was on guard with the Golden Light Sword in her hand. Seeing him return, she put away the Golden Light Sword and looked concerned. “Are you alright?”

“Yes.”

Zhang Ronghua briefly explained the matter. He did not mention Daoist Nine Tribulations’ cultivation and only told her his guess.

“I’ll settle scores with them when I get back to the capital.”

He rested for the night.

The next day.

Ji Xueyan’s consumed vitality had all recovered. The two of them hurried towards Ning An County. At this point, the people sent by the Grand Tutor’s Mansion had already arrived and Uncle Zhong was alone.

Yue Ya and Zheng Fugui were also there. They did not have to deal with the rest. Uncle Zhong was fully in charge.

In the room.

Zheng Fugui asked curiously, “Cousin, how did you escape?”

“By fighting.”

He then asked his cousin to explain the situation.

Zhang Ronghua learned that after leaving the dilapidated temple, Yue Ya had used a special method to summon a strange bird to return to the capital to send a message. In less than two hours, Uncle Zhong rushed over.

He checked the dilapidated temple. The battle was intense and there was blood everywhere, but they were not found. Coupled with the storm that had erased the traces, Uncle Zhong could not track them. He ordered them to return to the old residence first. If Miss did not return within a day, he would send someone to investigate.

“There’s going to be a good show.”

Zheng Fugui did not understand and rubbed his head honestly.

“Go cultivate!”

After he left, he sat on the bed and cultivated the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique.

Over the next few days.

Just as Zhang Ronghua had guessed, Uncle Zhong disappeared after Ji Xueyan sacrificed her ancestor, but news from the outside world kept coming. From Yue Ya, he learned that the higher-ups of Tongzhou and Shangping Prefecture had all changed. They had all been taken down and detained in the capital. The evidence of their corruption and bribery as officials over the years had been handed over to the Dali Temple. What awaited them was beheading.

All the loose cultivator factions near the capital and in Tongzhou, including some evil sects, had bad reputations. Their heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

Even some demons with profound cultivation were eliminated.

Some smart demons saw that the situation was not good and fled ahead of time, escaping.

While sighing at the power of the Grand Tutor Manor, there was also pressure. He was still not strong enough.

Today.

Uncle Zhong had returned last night and asked Yue Ya to call him to the backyard in the morning. Other than him, Zheng Fugui was also there and benefited from him.

“Although you were ordered by His Highness to protect Miss, it’s an undeniable fact that you saved her. My Grand Tutor Mansion can’t pretend not to see it.”

Zhang Ronghua listened quietly.

Uncle Zhong continued, “I see that you’ve comprehended Righteousness Qi, but you don’t have a specific cultivation technique. I have a cultivation technique here that I obtained from the East Sea ten years ago. Its power is quite extraordinary. It can both cultivate Righteousness Qi and temper soul power. Listen carefully, I’ll impart it to you now.”

“I can’t refuse an elder’s gift!”

“You’re promising!”

Uncle Zhong nodded in satisfaction and explained the Great Dao Righteous Song in detail.
