Chapter 8 Downstream
Chapter 8: Going Downstream
“Rumble!”
On the Reflecting Moon Lake, several large ships crashed together.
Then, a group of Jianghu martial artists, rushed out from the boats, scrambling in unison towards an item wrapped in yellowish beast skin.
“Surround this place for me!”
“Set up the Heavenly Worker Crossbow!”
“Don’t let anyone go!”
An army numbering tens of thousands of people quickly arrived, with a general leading the way with a stern gaze.
“Clattering ……”
There was the sound of water, and an aged old man, stepping on a bamboo pole, as if he was an arrow off the string, rushed towards the middle of the lake.
……
“The Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace is lost again?”
“Not lost, but snatched by the Thousand-faced God Thief Sikong Kai, no one expected that Sikong Kai not only has superb lightness, but also has excellent water skills, and was able to dive into the water and escape under the siege of the innate martial artist, Lian Zhijin, as well as the army of the Qingyang Royal House.”
“However, Lian Zhijin is in the end an innate realm martial artist, and chased Sikong Kai all the way to Blackwater City before losing his target.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s not easy to find the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace when it’s in Sikong Kai’s hands, this guy’s appearance changes a thousand times, it’s not easy to find him.”
“Who says it isn’t.”
“By the way, how is the air picker Fu Qingying? Really no more?”
“It’s really gone. The body’s all soaked up.”
A few days later, a piece of news that spread throughout White Stone City.
Immediately, in White Stone City, many Jianghu martial artists began to rush towards Blackwater City.
Afterwards, it was even heard that the Qingyang Royal Family’s army, had surrounded the entire Blackwater City.
……
In Blackwater City, in an ordinary mansion, a young man with thin lips and shadowy eyebrows carefully took out a red ancient furnace.
This ancient furnace was not large.
It was only a foot tall.
A three-legged strange bird was tattooed on the furnace body.
The strange bird had its mouth open, as if it was gulping flames.
After the youth took out the red ancient furnace, he stuffed a few of the spirit medicines he had just stolen into the mouth of the furnace.
He then placed this ancient furnace, in the courtyard, in a place where the sunlight could reach it.
And by the sunlight, this ancient furnace, all of a sudden emitted a layer of red dense.
“Good treasure!”
The youth’s eyes bloomed brightly, “Fu Qingying, don’t blame me, people don’t do it for themselves!”
While speaking, he took out an ancient beast skin.
“Light Shadow Skimming Step ……”
He looked at the visualization diagram on top of the ancient beast skin and muttered a self-sentence.
This technique was none other than Fu Lightning Shadow’s famous Lightning Technique.
The Air Plucking Hand, Fu Light Shadow, was a close friend of his.
However, after Fu Lightning Shadow obtained the Triple Elemental Yang Fire Furnace, it was also him who leaked out his whereabouts.
……
“I make a wish that I will be able to obtain the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace in the shortest amount of time without any danger!”
Two days later, before Chen Fan went to bed, he once again made a wish that he had kept.
He did not know in what form he would get the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace.
But based on the information he had gained from his previous wish, it was highly likely that he would be able to get his hands on the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace in just five days of wishing.
Of course, this was only extremely likely.
And not a certainty.
Because the future is never certain.
Any information he obtained through the wishing beads that was about the future, the wishing beads would describe it in terms of possible, maybe, almost, and other similar words.
But that didn’t stop him from looking forward to it in a small way.
……
“Brother Chen, come out and help!”
The next day, Chen Fan had just finished practicing when he heard Wu Yuanjing shouting outside.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Fan went out with a few guards, only to see Wu Yuanjing holding the pale Lu Tingyi and walking over from the distance.
Seeing this scene, he even ran over with his men.
“It’s the Blood Sword Martial School.”
Wu Yuanjing shook his head. Chen Fan instantly understood.
These days, the clashes between the Blood Sword Martial School and the major martial arts schools in White Stone City were becoming more and more violent.
Lu Tingyi’s Iron Body Martial Hall, which was the number one martial arts hall in White Stone City, was naturally extraordinarily targeted by the Blood Sword Martial Hall.
In just a few days’ time, the martial artists of the two major martial schools had fought several times.
“Zhang Yi, go call the doctor!”
Chen Fan saw the blood flowing from the corner of Lu Tingyi’s mouth and hurriedly said.
“What’s going on here ……”
At this time, Lu Tingyi’s family, who had also heard the commotion, ran out.
……
“The Iron Body Martial Arts School is finished this time.”
At night, Wu Yuanjing sighed while drinking wine with Chen Fan.
Chen Fan also shook his head.
He already knew from Wu Yuanjing that not only Lu Tingyi was seriously injured this time.
Of all the martial artists in the Iron Body Martial School, not a single one was intact.
Even the owner of the Iron Body Martial Arts School might have been robbed.
Because this time the blood knife martial arts school door, iron body martial arts school master Wang Zhanquan, from the beginning to the end did not show up.
“I hope these won’t affect me.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
He knew that with the fall of the Iron Body Martial School, he was afraid that all the other martial schools in White Stone City would not fare too well.
……
“Last day!”
“I make a wish ……”
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and on this day, Chen Fan waited until it was almost dark, and once again made the exact same wish as the previous days.
[In two hours, wear your night clothes and head to the riverside of the Qingyang River, you will be able to get the Sanyuan Yang Fire Furnace without any danger].
Then, right after he finished this wish, a message, appeared in his mind.
“By the Qingyang River?”
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.
He knew about the Qingyang River.
It was a river that flowed through the entire Qingyang Domain.
Among them, White Stone City, was one of its pathway places.
If he set off now, it would only take him half an hour to reach the Qingyang River.
With that in mind, he put on a black outfit and climbed the wall out of the courtyard after waiting for it to get darker again.
The several people in the courtyard, Zhang Yi Zhang De, did not have the slightest notice of his departure.
……
“It’s finally done!”
Meanwhile, in the Blackwater City, Sikong Kai opened the Triple Elemental Yang Fire Furnace that had been in the sun for three days, and immediately saw five white pills that emitted a gust of fragrance.
Just by smelling the fragrance, he felt that the true qi in his body, was much more active.
“Let’s try the effects first ……”
Sikong Kai took out one of the five pills.
Then he looked at the rest of the pills, thought about it, and didn’t take them all out, instead, he covered the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace, took out the ancient animal skin paper that was invulnerable to water and fire, wrapped the furnace, and hid it in the house.
“Gulp!”
He then went to the cultivation room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and threw the Three Yuan Dan in his hand, into his mouth.
“Snap! Snap ……”
Suddenly, not long after Sikong Kai had just begun his cultivation, the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace, which had originally been hidden by him, snapped out of his hidden position under the wrapping of the ancient beast skin.
However, the sound it made while popping was small.
Even with Sikong Kai’s strength, he did not hear it.
“Whew!”
After the Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace popped a few times, accompanied by a gust of wind, the window in Sikong Kai’s room, violently opened.
“Whoosh!”
The Three Yuan Yang Fire Furnace then whooshed, and under the night sky, it turned into a stream of light and flew towards the outside of the city.
In a short period of time, it flew over a thousand meters.
Then with a fluttering sound, it fell into the Qingyang River outside the city, wrapped in an ancient beast skin that was invulnerable to water and fire, and flowed downstream.
