Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 74: First Encounter with Fourth Senior Martial Uncle Lin Xue, Black Water Cult's Raid

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Thirteen terrifying Saber Qi flew out from Qin Feng's long blade.

These Saber Qi were incredibly fast, arriving in front of Liu Yunchao in an instant.

Liu Yunchao had been eating the flesh and blood on the ground, completely unaware of his surroundings.

By the time Liu Yunchao reacted, the terrifying Saber Qi had already reached him.

"Not good!"

Liu Yunchao's face changed drastically.

How could he not have expected that there would be experts nearby?

And they had even unleashed more than ten Saber Qi in succession.

Liu Yunchao quickly blocked with his right claw.

"Swish!"

The Saber Qi grazed Liu Yunchao's right claw and directly pierced through his waist, cutting him in half.

"Ah!"

Liu Yunchao let out a miserable scream as a large amount of blood flowed from his waist.

He tried to struggle to stand up, but the immense pain and being split in half prevented him from moving even a bit.

"Thud!"

Qin Feng also jumped down from the tree.

"Qin Feng!!"

Upon seeing Qin Feng, Liu Yunchao's eyes widened.

He never expected that the person who had unleashed more than ten Saber Qi in a row was Qin Feng.

"How did you end up here?"

Liu Yunchao couldn't understand how Qin Feng knew he had come here to kill the Black Bear Anomaly.

If he had known that Qin Feng was so powerful, he wouldn't have come to kill the Black Bear Anomaly.

He should have dealt with Qin Feng first.

Qin Feng didn't say anything, but raised his long blade high.

"Don't kill me!"

"I'll give you all the treasures of my Liu family!"

Liu Yunchao shouted loudly.

However, Qin Feng completely ignored Liu Yunchao's words and directly swung his long blade down.

"Swish!"

Liu Yunchao's head flew off.

"Hoo!"

Qin Feng let out a breath and then walked to Liu Yunchao's side, carefully searching his corpse.

Soon, Qin Feng found a bronze key, a letter, a silver badge, an iron plate, two manuals, and over ten taels of silver from Liu Yunchao's body.

After carefully collecting these items, Qin Feng poured pig's blood over Liu Yunchao's corpse.

With this pig's blood, the Caged Lantern Anomaly would appear soon.

The corpses of Liu Yunchao and his many guards would also be cleaned up by the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

Commander's Residence.

Qin Feng had safely returned to the courtyard.

He carefully closed the doors and windows before taking out the treasures he obtained from Liu Yunchao.

The first thing that caught his eye was an iron plate.

"Yi Eleven!"

Looking at the plate in his hand, Qin Feng's expression became very ugly.

This plate was the one he had turned in when he became a Deputy Commander.

But he didn't expect to see this plate in Liu Yunchao's hands.

"Who gave this plate to Liu Yunchao?"

Qin Feng looked at the plate in his hand, lost in thought.

Usually, these Black Water Cult plates would be placed in the treasury of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

And only the high-ranking members of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor could enter the treasury.

"Was it Liu Ruyan, or Wang Jiankang, or other elders?"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly, then threw the iron plate into the brazier.

"Jia Thirty-One!"

Qin Feng picked up the silver badge.

The front of the silver badge had the words "Jia Thirty-One," and the back had the words "Black Water Cult."

After carefully storing the silver badge, Qin Feng turned his attention to the two manuals.

These two manuals were both Black Water Cult manuals.

One was for transforming into a Werewolf Anomaly, and the other was for transforming into a Half-Bear Anomaly.

Although the strength of the Werewolf Anomaly and the Half-Bear Anomaly would increase significantly, they would need to consume the flesh and blood of Martial Artists every month to maintain their human form.

After glancing at them, Qin Feng threw the two manuals into the brazier.

Qin Feng had no intention of learning these Anomaly techniques.

The bronze key was unremarkable, but it had the words "Liu Family Treasury" engraved on it.

"The key to the Liu family's treasure vault!"

Qin Feng's face was filled with excitement.

The Liu family is one of the three major families in Eternal Peace County.

Over the years, they have collected many treasures and silver.

If he could enter the Liu family's treasure vault, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of things.

I wonder if it's easy to enter the Liu family.

Can he sneak into the Liu family's treasure vault?

The last letter was written by Wang Jiankang to Liu Yunchao.

Asking Liu Yunchao to prepare three jars of fresh fox blood.

"Fresh fox blood?"

"Could it be the God Tree Anomaly in Soft Wind Mountain?"

Qin Feng quickly thought of the God Tree Anomaly.

After all, these tree anomalies all like fresh fox blood.

"So it seems that this token should be handed over to Liu Yunchao by Wang Jiankang!"

Qin Feng had already made a judgment in his heart.

But Wang Jiankang's cultivation is profound, and he has always been in seclusion for cultivation.

It is difficult for Qin Feng to find an opportunity to ambush Wang Jiankang.

"Tonight, let's go to the Liu family first and see if there is a chance to sneak into the Liu family's treasure vault!"

While Qin Feng was speaking, he threw the letter into the brazier.

The Liu family.

Inside a certain grand hall.

A masked woman with a graceful figure was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Several masked men were standing below her.

"Has Liu Yunchao returned?"

The masked woman put down her teacup and asked.

"Reporting to the protector, the head of the Liu family has not returned."

The masked man in the front answered.

"Weird!"

The masked woman frowned and then said, "Calculating the time, Liu Yunchao should be back soon!"

The masked woman looked outside the door and after a while, she said, "Forget it, don't wait for him!"

"Is there anything big happening in Eternal Peace County recently?"

"How much longer until the God Tree awakens?"

The masked man in the front quickly said, "Reporting to the protector, the Drum Maker Anomaly and the Dark Beggar Anomaly that we placed in Eternal Peace County have been killed by a mysterious person!"

"Now there are not many Drum Maker Anomalies left in the entire Eternal Peace County!"

The masked woman frowned and said, "Who is this person? How dare they oppose our Black Water Cult?"

"I'm not sure, I have been investigating for a long time, but I haven't found any clues!"

"All I know is that this person is a master of the saber!"

"And can unleash Saber Qi!"

The masked man replied.

"Saber Qi?"

"Could it be Senior Brother?"

The masked woman fell into contemplation.

"Is the fresh fox blood prepared properly?"

The masked woman asked again.

"Reporting to the protector, it has been prepared properly and is all stored in the Liu family's treasure vault!"

The masked man replied.

"Crack!"

At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Who's there?"

The masked woman shouted loudly and quickly rushed towards the door.

Just as she rushed into the gate, she saw a masked man in black clothes quickly running away in the distance.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The masked woman waved her hand, and several flying knives quickly flew towards the masked man in front.

"Swish!"

The long saber in the black-clothed man's hand swung, and a Saber Qi flew out directly.

"Ding, ding!"

Those flying knives were directly slashed onto the ground.

"Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

"Flowing Fire Saber!"

"Liang Xu, who are you?"

The masked woman looked at Qin Feng in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Qin Feng looked at the masked woman without saying a word.

At this moment, Qin Feng's heart was filled with frustration.

He had already infiltrated the Liu family's treasure vault.

And he had already opened the Liu family's treasure vault.

But apart from a jar filled with blood, there was nothing inside.

After coming out of the treasure vault, Qin Feng planned to explore other areas of the Liu family.

But he didn't expect to see the Bone Refining stage guardian of the Black Water Cult as soon as he arrived at the main hall.

Qin Feng didn't dare to stay and quietly prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly, he still alerted the Black Water Cult guardian.

"Swish, swish!"

Qin Feng swung his long knife, and two Saber Qi flew towards the Black Water Cult guardian.

His figure quickly flew towards the distance.

The masked woman lightly dodged and avoided the two Saber Qi.

"Senior brother, when did you take in such a powerful disciple?"

She looked at Qin Feng who was fleeing and did not pursue.

Early the next morning.

Qin Feng came to the martial arts hall and found Liang Xu.

"Not bad, being able to easily kill Liu Yunchao!"

Liang Xu's face was filled with satisfaction.

If Qin Feng could kill Liu Yunchao, then he could also leave Eternal Peace County with Liang Weiwei.

"Master, it seems like Liu Yunchao is a member of the Black Water Cult!"

"It seems like his purpose is for the Black Bear's mysterious right hand!"

Qin Feng spoke up.

"Ah!"

"The ambitions of the Black Water Cult are getting bigger and bigger!"

Liang Xu sighed lightly and did not speak.

"Master, I infiltrated the Liu family yesterday and discovered a female guardian of the Black Water Cult!"

"She seems to be very familiar with the Flowing Fire Blade and the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber!"

Qin Feng mentioned the black-clad female guardian he encountered yesterday.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Liang Xu remained silent for a long time before saying, "This person should be your fourth senior uncle, Lin Xue!"

"Fourth senior uncle?"

Qin Feng said in astonishment.

"Ah!"

Liang Xu sighed, seemingly unwilling to mention Lin Xue.

"Alright, you can go down first, let me be alone for a while!"

Liang Xu waved his hand.

"Disciple takes his leave!"

Qin Feng arched his hand and then left.

For the next ten days, Qin Feng practiced the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique in the command hall.

Under Qin Feng's efforts, the proficiency of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique continued to rise.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 358/1000, Qi condensation, shedding mortal body]

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (465/6000), rejuvenation of withered wood, long lifespan, increased vitality and blood]

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Perfected: 1305/3000, Saber Qi Perfected, each strike like a dragon, every cut severs the soul]

[Iron Shirt, Basic Accomplishment 202/500, body of copper skin, increased defense, enhanced vitality and blood]

Looking at the rapidly increasing proficiency, Qin Feng's mood was very good.

As long as he continued to practice diligently for a few more months, his strength would increase significantly.

"Dang, dang, dang!"

At this moment, the sound of urgent gongs rang out.

"What happened?"

Qin Feng put away his long knife and looked towards the gate.

"Reporting to Commander Qin, the medicinal herb team has been robbed!"

A guard rushed over to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly walked towards the training ground.

Their Eternal Peace Medicine Manor was one of the largest forces in Eternal Peace County.

Even the three major families wouldn't dare to rob the medicinal herbs from their Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

When Qin Feng arrived at the training ground, he saw Xiao Ma and many guards.

However, the condition of these guards was not very good.

They were all injured, and several of them had their arms severed.

"Xiao Ma, what happened?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Commander Qin, our medicinal herb team was robbed!"

Xiao Ma quickly replied.

"How much medicinal herbs were taken?"

Qin Feng asked again.

"Qin Feng, they didn't rob the medicinal herbs, but instead they kidnapped all the herb gatherers!"

Xiao Ma slowly revealed the situation.

Upon hearing Xiao Ma's words, Qin Feng finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the goal of these bandits was not the medicine at all.

Instead, it was the miscellaneous workers of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

When the miscellaneous workers of the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor entered Soft Wind Mountain, they took action and captured all of them.

Xiao Ma and the others only realized something was wrong when they didn't see anyone coming out of Soft Wind Mountain in the evening.

Xiao Ma and the guards also fought with the bandits.

However, the bandits were strong, and Xiao Ma and the others were no match for them.

If Xiao Ma and the others hadn't acted quickly, they would have all been left inside Soft Wind Mountain.

"The master is here!"

At this moment, a loud shout came.

Soon after, the master, Liu Ruyan, the deputy master, Wang Jiankang, and others arrived.

"What happened?"

The master, Liu Ruyan, asked.

"Reporting to the master!"

Qin Feng quickly explained what had just happened.

"Such audacity! They dare to rob people from my Eternal Peace Medicine Manor!"

Liu Ruyan's face turned pale with anger.

"Qin Feng, you lead the men to seal off the Soft Wind Mountain camp!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Feng.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Qin Feng saluted.

"Huang, you lead the men to recruit two thousand refugees outside the city!"

Liu Ruyan gave another order.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Huang took the order and left.

Then, Liu Ruyan issued several more orders.

Although Liu Ruyan was just a woman, under her command, the chaos in the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor quickly stabilized.

Soft Wind Mountain camp.

After half an hour of rushing, Qin Feng led many guards to the camp inside Soft Wind Mountain.

"Surround Soft Wind Mountain!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!"

The guards scattered in all directions.

Soon, these guards surrounded the Soft Wind Mountain camp.

"Xiao Ma, who attacked you?"

Qin Feng asked when he arrived at Soft Wind Mountain.

"Reporting to Commander Qin, they were a group of masked black-clothed people!"

Xiao Ma quickly reported.

"Masked black-clothed people?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly remembered the people he had seen in the Liu family hall more than ten days ago.

They were all dressed in black and had their faces covered.

"Commander Qin, we have made a new discovery!"

At this moment, Captain Wu hurriedly walked in.

"What did you find?"

Qin Feng stood up quickly.

"At the entrance of Soft Wind Mountain, we found a token!"

After saying this, Captain Wu handed a bronze token to Qin Feng.

"Rank 55!"

"This is from the Black Water Cult!"

Looking at the token, Qin Feng immediately recognized it as belonging to the Black Water Cult.

"Why would the Black Water Cult kidnap so many miscellaneous workers?"

"Could it be to feed the mysterious tree in Soft Wind Mountain with blood?"

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with contemplation.

"Dang, dang, dang!"

At this moment, a series of urgent gong sounds rang out.

"Quick, something's happening in the west!"

"Report to the commander immediately!"

"It seems that the black-clothed people have arrived!"

"..."

Many guards shouted loudly.
