Teng Qing Shan and Teng Qing Hu walked out of the front gate together.

  The young master of the gate, Zhuge Yun, sneered at the two Qin brothers: "Jin Jian Men? Haha... How dare you threaten my people from Guiyuan Sect? Not to mention you two junior disciples, even your Jin Jian Men sect leader wouldn't dare say this on our territory!" His expression seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.

  Qin Dashi and his brother were both taken aback.

  "This... few... few masters..." Qin Da stuttered, wanting to speak but didn't know what to say.

  "Junior Master, those two young ones don't understand the situation. They only spoke up to save their fellow disciple. In this world, reason is paramount! Qin San was in the wrong, and even if he died, no one would be to blame. Please, Junior Master, do not take offense." Old Man Li hastily added at this time.

  "Hmmph!"

  Sha Zongzhu 'Zhuge Yun' coldly smiled and turned around, taking his sister with him, and left with Teng Qingyuan and Teng Qinghu.

  In this broken elegant room, it finally calmed down.

  "You two are also being reckless!" Li Lao Ye's face sank, and he scolded Qin Da and Qin Er, "Qin San that kid is not clean-handed, provoked someone, and died as a result! You two speak harsh words without even checking who the other person is! That's Gui Yuan Zong! Your Jin Jian Men in Xuyang County are very leisurely, not enough enemies to be formidable? It's easy for Wang Lao Ge to support Jin Jian Men? If because of you two, we offend Gui Yuan Zong again... I'm afraid Jin Jian Men won't last long."

  Qin Da and Qin Er's faces turned pale with cold sweat.

  In this vast land of nine states, there are also high and low distinctions among sects.

  Nine Provinces Eight Great Sects, each one is extremely powerful and undisputed.

  Return to the Yuan Zong, able to sit and possess a state's land, passing down for over a thousand years, deeply rooted. Just the head of the sect 'Zhuge Yuanhong', is already a super strong person on the nine states' vast land. Even Qinghu Island doesn't dare to easily provoke the Yuan Zong... The Yuan Zong, on the nine states' vast land, can also be considered a great sect.

  In the thirteen counties of Yangzhou, except for the nine counties controlled by Qinghu Island and the two counties controlled by Guiyuan Sect and Tiejimen, the other two counties are relatively calm. The rest of the two counties are in chaos.

  Within Xuyang County alone, there were dozens of small sects that were in a state of disarray, and the bandit forces were also extremely numerous.

  These sects, some have been established for hundreds of years, while others were destroyed in just a few years. Then new sects emerged. Compared to the Return to Origin Sect... these so-called sects are like ants and elephants. The gap is really too big. Jin Jian Men in Xuyang County, although also considered a relatively powerful sect.

  It can't be compared with Hua Guo Yuan Zong, it's too far apart.

  Due to Jin Jian Men, there isn't even a single congenital strong practitioner.

  "Qin is great." Liu Rufeng frowned and said, "I thought you were steady in doing things. How come you're so confused today! As for the strength of Teng Qing Mountain, I think that unless the master of Jinjianmen comes personally, no one can defeat him!"

  Liu Ruhai is the core disciple of Qinghu Island.

  However, he also heard about some of the top masters and famous names of the Guiyuan Sect on Qinghu Island. Especially the sect leader 'Zhuge Yuanhong', who in the nine states would dare to provoke Zhuge Yuanhong?

  Qin Da sighed sorrowfully: "Third Brother, although he is usually not a good person, after all, we have been practicing martial arts together since childhood, for decades, and our feelings are deep. That Teng Qing Shan wants to kill Third Brother, just now I was also anxious, so I said that, only hoping to give Golden Sword Gate face, spare Third Brother's life!"

  "It's all because I and Eldest Brother are no match for others." Qin Er's face also had a sorrowful look.

  Mr. Li sighed and said, "Alright, let's give Qin San a proper burial and consider this matter settled. Don't mention it again! That young man, Teng Qing Shan, is quite ruthless for his age. And he has a close relationship with the Young Master of the Guiyuan Sect. In the future, he'll likely hold a high position in the sect. It's best not to offend him!"

  It all ended with Li Laoye and his family losing some silver and returning home.

  ******

  Teng Qing-shan and his three companions walked along Zhongda Street, crossed the Yunhe Bridge, and then followed the east bank of the Grand Canal.

  "Who would have thought that this commoner's son was like this." Along the way, Zhuge Yun and Zhuge Qing asked Tong Qinghu and Teng Qingshan about some stories in Teng Family Village. Zhuge Yun said with hatred, "Killing him is good, that kind of trash deserves to be killed!"

  "Shao Zong Zhu..." Teng Qing Shan had just opened his mouth.

  Zhuge Yun said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Teng big brother, I've already called you big brother, what I dislike the most is others calling me Young Master, hmm, you can call me Little Cloud too."

  Hong Qing Shan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Alright, that's right, Xiao Yun, I'd like to ask, what is this Golden Sword Sect, which school of thought dares to threaten us?"

  Every family has its own rules, every army has its own regulations!

  On the first day of joining the Black Armor Army, during the evening banquet gathering. The brothers of the Black Armor Army had all entrusted Qing Shan with the rules and regulations of the army.

  It's very simple!

  When encountering a fight outside, regardless of whether it's reasonable or not, win first and talk later! No matter what, the reputation of the Black Armor Army cannot be tarnished!

  What you said is so straightforward!

  However, in private, the Black Armor Army soldiers all thought that as long as it wasn't one of the eight major sects, they didn't care about the others and would attack first. As for the eight major sects, they still had to give them some face. Like Qinghu Island, which occupied nine counties and was much stronger than Guiyuan Sect.

  "I really haven't heard of this sect before." Teng Qing Shan laughed at himself, on the first day he entered the Black Armor Army, Teng Qing Shan had already memorized the names of the nine states' eight major sects!

  "That's just a small sect, Xu Yangjun's!" Zhuge Yunman said nonchalantly. "In my Yangzhou territory, Qinghu Island, Tieyi Gate and the eleven counties controlled by our Guiyuan Sect are forbidden to others from establishing their own sects. So, in the remaining two counties, there are many small sects, but they are all weak. Jinsuimen... humph, to destroy it, a general leading one battalion of soldiers can easily wipe them out!"

  "Oh, so it was in Xuyang County." Teng Qingshan suddenly realized.

  That ram is from Xuyang County.

  Xuyang County and Tiannan County should be considered the two most chaotic counties in Yangzhou.

  Moreover, generally large sects, disciples within the sect rarely fall to the point of becoming a rich merchant's housekeeper, because for sects like Qinghu Island and Guiyuan Sect, official power is their outer perimeter, and they can completely let their disciples enter into officialdom.

  Being an official is naturally more carefree than guarding a house.

  Xu Yang's small sect is also arrogant? Teng Qinghu glared.

  "Qinghu Da Ge, those two are just junior disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. They don't know their place." Zhuge Yun hummed and said, "My dad always says that when we, the Yuanguan people, encounter anyone outside, we should fight first and talk later! As long as they haven't committed any great evil deeds, everything will be borne by our Yuanguan Sect!"

  Teng Qing Shan smiled after hearing this.

  This is truly a major faction, daring to speak out!

  "Right." Zhuge Yun suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Teng big brother, today you defeated those two men, instantly rushing to their front, making it impossible for them to block, and blasting the two of them away. Those two should also be top-notch martial artists, right? The power and speed Teng big brother showed today is even stronger than yesterday."

  Yesterday was a fierce battle between the two teams.

  Teng Qing Shan, from head to toe, relied solely on his long spear. His own strength and speed were ordinary. However, today, facing two top-notch martial artists, Teng Qing Shan revealed an overwhelming advantage with his bare fists.

  "Oh, thanks to that 'Meng Niu Da Li Jue'." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  Next to him, Zhuge Qing, who had been quiet all along, opened his mouth in surprise: "The 'Mangniu Dali Jue' of the Black Armor Army? Brother Qingshan, your strength has increased, what does it have to do with this?"

  "This 'Fierce Bull Great Strength Technique', I have cultivated it to the sixth level, so my explosive power and speed have greatly increased." Teng Qing Shan said directly.

  "Ah!" exclaimed Zhuge Yun.

  "The sixth floor?" Zhuge Qing was startled, because the veil blocked his view, and he couldn't see Zhuge Qing's expression.

  "Qingshan, you, you're at the sixth level?" Teng Qinghu was also greatly shocked.

  "It's just one day." Zhuge Yun couldn't believe it.

  Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded: "Right, although it's only been a day, however... my Qi meridians have mostly opened up. So, the first six layers of cultivation will be easy to complete without any problems. However... this 'Mang Niu Da Li Jue' is indeed formidable. It has increased my strength by a large margin!"

  Zhuge Yun was astonished, but even more astonishing.

  "Brother, we've arrived at the North Gate," said Zhuge Qing.

  At first, when entering the sect for assessment, Teng Qing Shan and others entered from the west gate, but this time they returned from the north gate of Guiyuan Sect.

  "Brother Teng, I admire you more and more. Well... my sister and I will also return to our residence. Brother Teng and Qinghu will also return to the military camp, let's part ways here." Zhuge Yun smiled and said, and immediately the two siblings left.

  Teng Qing looked at Zhuge Yun's departing back from afar.

  "I know I've reached the sixth level... this news should reach Zhuge Yuanhong's ears soon, right!" Teng Qingshan thought to himself, "In Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes, my background is clean and I'm worth recruiting. It's about time for some movement!"

  "Green tiger, let's go back."

  Teng Qing Shan immediately turned around and followed Teng Qing Hu, heading towards the Black Armor Army's camp.

  ……

  Today, Qin San was killed, but Teng Qing Shan didn't have a single ripple of emotion.

  Because this is the world of warriors! Slaughter often occurs, and those small sects have disciples dying normally. Especially since Teng Qing Shan is a person from Guiyuan Sect, how dare Jin Jian Men provoke?

  Roving all over Kyushu, Teng Qing Shan also thought about the safety of Teng Family Village.

  Generally speaking, Tong Qing Shan is fearless!

  Because they are post-heavenly martial artists, when facing thousands of troops and horses, especially heavy armored warriors, these heavy armored warriors can easily kill a post-heavenly master with just one encirclement.

  For example, the third master of Tie Shan Gang was a post-heavenly peak martial artist, but he was killed by a single charge from the White Horse Camp. After all, although martial artists cultivate internal energy, they are still very fragile in themselves, and two fists can't defeat four hands. When facing the siege of a powerful army, it's easy to kill him.

  Nowadays, Tunjiazhuang has hundreds of heavy armored warriors and a large number of men with bows and arrows. Such military strength is enough to deter even the bandits on horseback!

  Even the three thousand bandits of Yan Shan Gang were scared off by the slaughter.

  Generally, even a martial artist of average level would not dare to provoke such a Zhuangzi, as such a Zhuangzi can be considered a powerful faction.

  The day after tomorrow among martial artists... apart from that freak Teng Qing Shan, probably no one else can take on a thousand brave warriors alone!

  ……

  Teng Jia Zhuang's own strength made Teng Qing Shan not afraid of anything. More importantly... in the nine states, they killed each other. Rarely did it involve their clans. If someone offended Teng Qing Shan, and Teng Qing Shan couldn't kill them, would he go and destroy their entire clan?

  Such things are rarely done by anyone except those who have lost their conscience and gone mad.

  Doing so would make you despised by everyone under heaven.
