Heng Family Village, Martial Arts Arena.

  Those ethnic Han men who had just stopped practicing the Tiger Fist, one by one, had a hot mist on their bodies. After the heavy snow, the cold river water was frozen. However, the Teng clan's men were obviously very strong, holding red-tasseled iron spears, staring at the outsider in the center of the martial arts arena!

  Over a hundred heavy cavalrymen!

  "Hmm, not bad." Gu Shiyou sat on his warhorse, scanning the men of the Tun clan before glancing at the frightened and worried women and children. A hint of a smile played on his lips. "Indeed worthy of being the largest manor within tens of miles, bare-chested in the dead of winter... quite impressive."

  Although he said so, Gu Shiyuan had never looked down on this group of mountain barbarians in his heart. As the young master of Qinghu Island, with just one word, he could turn such a village into ashes!

  If it were an ordinary Zhuangzi, he would have slaughtered them if he wanted to.

  But this is Tunqingshan's hometown!

  Once it gets out, people will say that Gu Shiyou is jealous of Tan Qingyun and instead vent his anger on the latter's clansmen. This will be ridiculed by everyone under heaven!

  May calamity spare my family!

  This is a creed that warriors believe in. Revenge for grievances, distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, killing many people will not be criticized by the world.

  "Could Teng Qing Shan have grown up in such a barbaric and impoverished place?" Gu Shi You thought to himself.

  At this time, people from each alley of Tengjiazhuang rushed out one after another.

  "Your Excellency!" a hoarse and thick voice rang out.

  The old man with a head full of silver hair who was speaking was none other than Teng Yunlong, the elderly patriarch of the Teng family. Just then, Teng Yongfan finally arrived, running to Teng Yunlong's side.

  "Master!" Teng Yongfan said in a low voice.

  Teng Yunlong gave Teng Yongfan a look, and Teng Yongfan took over as the head of the clan not long ago. After all, in the past, it was almost always Teng Yunlong who handled major events.

  "I don't know, esteemed elders, what instructions do you have for my Teng Family Village? But if there are any instructions, the people of my Teng Family Village will definitely strive to accomplish them." Teng Yunlong smiled and said. This old man who had lived through a lifetime in troubled times could see at a glance that the heavy cavalry before him was not one bit weaker than the 'Black Armor Army'.

  So he didn't dare to have even a glimmer of hope.

  "Are you the clan leader?" Gu Shiyou looked at Tun Yunlong.

  "It's exactly." Teng Yunlong's body blocked in front of his disciple, Teng Yongfan. Teng Yongfan felt a sudden surge of anxiety... He knew that at this time, if anyone was going to be unlucky, it would be the clan leader first. Teng Yunlong hastily said he was the clan leader, and also for his own good.

  "Listen up." Gu Shi said, looking down at the group of people below him, "You, Tunjiazhuang, choose three of your best hunters to temporarily take orders from Qinghu Island!"

  "May I ask, sir? What are we three clansmen supposed to do if we go there?" Tianyun Long asked.

  "Shut up!"

  Gu Shiyou let out a stern shout, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "You can only obey me, I didn't allow you to ask questions! If next time you dare to ask... I won't mind killing some people!" Behind Gu Shiyou, a group of Yin Jiao military officers held long spears, their bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the people of Tengjiazhuang.

  "Yes, yes." Teng Yunlong replied in succession.

  "Your top three hunters!" Gu Shiyou turned his head and glanced at some other hunters on the Silver Python Army's warhorses, "However, I've already heard from hunters of other manors before. The hunters of Teng Family Manor are the most formidable. The leader of the hunting team is called 'Teng Qinghao'. And the number one hero of Teng Family Manor right now is Teng Yongfan! So these two must go!"

  When Teng Qing was young, his father Teng Yongfan was the number one good man in the clan.

  After practicing Huquan, Teng Yongfan's strength was second only to Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu. After the two went to Guiyuan Sect, Teng Yongfan became the number one person in the clan.

  "Van Ge." Yuan Lan's face changed suddenly behind Teng Yongfan.

  Hong Yongfan held his wife's hand and looked very calm.

  "Adults." Teng Yunlong was anxious, "Teng Yongfan is indeed the first good man in my Teng family village, but he is the first blacksmith in our clan, so he doesn't enter the mountain at all. He's not a hunter!" What Teng Yunlong said was actually untrue. Although Teng Yongfan was a blacksmith, when he was young, he also participated in the hunting team.

  It wasn't until later when his ironwork skills improved that he gradually stopped participating in the Hunter Association.

  "Ah!"

  A black shadow flashed out.

  Hong Yunlong's face changed, and he barely had time to block his chest with both hands. He only felt a severe pain in his hands, and the sound of bones shattering echoed through the air.

  "Bang!"

  Hong Yunlong was like a tattered sandbag flying through the air.

  "Master!"

  "Elder!" A urgent voice sounded, where Teng Yunlong fell, there were two young men from the tribe. The two young men immediately stretched out their hands and caught the elder.

  "Bang!"

  "Wow!"

  Many Han men in the tribe, seeing this, were enraged and put on their heavy armor, one by one staring at the newcomers with red eyes. Teng Family Village was weak back then, but they still dared to fight the horse thieves to the death. Now that Teng Family Village has become powerful... although they are shocked and intimidated by the enemy's heavy cavalry, once they get angry, everyone is not afraid!

  "Master."

  "Uncle!"

  Teng Yongfan and Yuan Lan, the couple, both ran to Teng Yunlong's side. At this moment, Teng Yunlong had a thread of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, his hands were trembling, and on his bloody hands, white bones could still be seen.

  "Cough, cough..." Teng Yunlong coughed twice and forced a smile, "Yongfan, Alan. It's okay... Luckily I practiced the Tiger Fist. Although my hands are crippled, at least my life is saved." Teng Yunlong had cultivated the Tiger Fist, making his body and internal organs stronger. The spear had been deflected by his hands.

  Although he was injured, he did not take the life of Xi Yunlong.

  "Master!" Teng Yongfan's eyes turned red, almost crying, his master Teng Yunlong's hands were crippled!

  "You're over 40 years old, don't be like this. In the past when I was young, I followed your grandfather and others to Danyan Mountain, killing those wild beasts, even with broken hands and legs, we still gritted our teeth and continued to fight against them." Teng Yunlong comforted with a smile, as an old man, he had much stronger endurance.

  "Old man, I just said that you can only listen and cannot ask! This time didn't take your life, but next time..." Gu Shiyou's voice remained indifferent.

  Ke Gu was secretly shocked in his heart.

  Just now he casually fired a shot, intending to intimidate the people of Duanjia Village. Although it was just a casual shot, he didn't hold back. In his estimation, an old guy should have been killed without a doubt. But obviously, this old patriarch of Duanjia Village is stronger than he imagined.

  "The men of Tengjiazhuang, want to fight with the Yin Jiao army of Qing Hu Island?" Gu Shiyou's eyes scanned those angry men of Tengjiazhuang, the injured Teng Yulong struggled to stand up, with the support of Teng Yongfan, and revealed a faint smile: "We are just a poor mountain village, how dare we fight with the dignitaries of Qing Hu Island? Isn't that seeking death?"

  A smile from an old friend in ancient times.

  Teng Yunlong continued: "The elders of Qinghu Island, I suppose you don't know that the first commander of the Hei Jia Jun of the Guiyuan Sect, Teng Qingshan, is my grandson!"

  The martial arts arena of the Heng family manor was suddenly quiet.

  "You let Teng Family Village send three hunters, that's fine. But Teng Yongfan is Qing Shan's father. And he's a blacksmith, not a hunter! No reason to go with the big shots of Qing Hu Island." Teng Yunlong stared at Gu Shiyou, in their clan, the clan leader was the most important. How could they let the clan leader be taken away so easily?

  Gu Shi's eyes narrowed.

  "This old guy is really troublesome."

  If the other party doesn't mention Teng Qing Shan, he can pretend he doesn't know and take away Teng Yong Fan directly.

  But the other side has proposed it!

  If he insists on taking him away and forcing a congenitally strong father to go out and do hard work, it will be very embarrassing if this gets out.

  "This Qinghu Island is one of the nine provinces' eight major sects!" Teng Yunlong thought to himself, "According to those books, the bigger the sect, the more they value face. If I didn't mention Qing Shan's name, they could pretend not to know. But now that it's been said, they should be able to slightly restrain themselves."

  "Who is the leader of the Tianyi Sect?"

  Gu Shiyou's face showed a surprised expression as he looked around, "I really didn't expect that this Tuanjia Village is the old home of Tuanqing Mountain."

  "But!"

  Gu Shi's face turned cold again, "Must take away Tan Qinghao and Tan Yongfan, this is a military order! Military orders are like mountains, Qinghu Island is the first sect of Yangzhou, it is impossible to change the military order for a leader of the Guiyuan Sect. As for Tan Yongfan being Tan Qingshan's father... I will report to my general in the Yinbiao Army! If the general changes the military order, he will send Tan Yongfan back... But now, must take away!"

  "Whoever dares to resist will be killed without pardon!" Gu Shiyou's eyes were cold and stern.

  Hong Yunlong's heart skipped a beat.

  He understood... The other party really wanted to take away Yun Fan! If Qinghu Island made up its mind to take away Yun Fan, what excuse wouldn't work?

  ……

  A commotion broke out in the martial arts arena, with many people's hearts filled with anger.

  "I'll go with you." Tian Yongfan stood up.

  Many people are getting anxious.

  "Old Wan." Yuan Lan grasped his hand, almost in tears. Teng Yongfan turned around with a smile and stroked his wife's face: "Ah Lan, you know I have to go!"

  Yuan Lan's tears fell down.

  She understands! The people of Qinghu Island are clearly going to take away Sun Yongfan. If they don't listen today, I'm afraid many people will die.

  "Alright, Qinghao, I'll go with you." A middle-aged man with a strong bow on his back and a long spear in his hand walked out, his temples streaked with white.

  "Dad." Teng Qinghao looked at the newcomer in surprise.

  The newcomer was the clan's master marksman, Teng Yongxiang. Teng Yongxiang was already over fifty years old and had lost his wife at a young age, so he doted on his son Qinghao. He didn't trust the strangers who came to Qinghu Island.

  "Uh-huh."

  Heng Yongfan and Heng Yongxiang exchanged a glance, the two brothers having been together for decades, they went through thick and thin together, and when faced with problems, they would not give up easily.

  "Qīng Hào."

  "Dad."

  Teng Qinghao's wife and their two young daughters were all holding onto him. Teng Qinghao patted his daughters' heads: "Dad is not at home, listen to mom, got it?"

  "I know, Dad." A pair of children, those clear and shiny eyes were all filled with tears.

  "Mount up." Gu Shiyou frowned and ordered.

  Teng Yongfan, Teng Yongxiang and Teng Qinghao showed a faint smile to the people of their tribe, then they all held iron spears, among them Teng Qinghao and Teng Yongxiang were carrying bows and arrows on their backs. The three of them rode horses with soldiers from Qinghu Island.

  "Depart!" Gu Shiyou gave the order.

  The horse turned around and galloped away like a thunderbolt, leaving behind the anxious people of Tengjia Village.
