First Volume of the First Palm Gate Chapter 86: Wei Peng Arrives in Person

  Ye Wen's copper coin had forced the hidden person out, but before he could make another move, that person had already run far away with just a few leaps.

  This lightness of movement left Ye Wen astonished, and he immediately took out a copper coin alone, used the Purple Mist Skill, circulated his internal energy to his fingers, waited for the right moment, and then flicked the copper coin at the back of the man's heart.

  Ye Wen's Qian Kun Yi Zhua training wasn't that profound, now he can only guarantee accuracy when throwing one or two copper coins at the same time. Like just now, scattering a large handful was simply to intimidate and force the opponent to reveal themselves. He didn't expect that pile of copper coins to cause any harm to the opponent.

  It was indeed the case that Ye Wen's casual toss, although full of vigor and covering the entire sky, seemed more like a careless throw, without any accuracy at all. If not for the fact that Ye Wen had thrown out enough copper coins to cover the entire area, the person would not have jumped out directly.

  But with just one copper coin, Ye Wen could still manage to hit wherever he pointed, and with his profound internal strength, the power of this single copper coin thrown out was far superior to Ning Ruxue's乾坤一掷 (Qian Kun Yi Zhuo), even if it didn't hit a vital spot, the powerful force carried by the copper coin would be enough to make someone drink a whole pot.

  Ning Ruxue's Qiankun Yizhi emphasizes precision even more, because of the limitations of her own strength and hand power. If Ning Ruxue throws out these copper coins without hitting a vital spot, they are actually powerless. However, if it were just that, at most it would only be a small trick to distract the opponent, not a sophisticated technique. Therefore, Ning Ruxue's Qiankun Yizhi is even more in line with its original form, as soon as she throws out a handful of copper coins, and more importantly, each of these copper coins rushes towards the opponent's vital spots or important acupoints.

  It can be said that both Shifu and his sister have their own strengths and weaknesses in this situation, and it's hard to say who is better.

  Between the flash of lightning, the black shadow was hit by Ye Wen with a copper coin, and his body, which had just jumped up, fell directly to the ground. Ye Wen saw this and laughed: "Are you stupid? Running away in a straight line, isn't that clearly telling others to throw hidden weapons?"

  Just as he was about to step forward and take a closer look, wondering who would dare to sneak into the Shu Shan Sect at night, he thought about how this person had managed to run so far with just one flicker of their eye, and couldn't help but feel a little wary of their lightness skill, his hand instinctively tightening around several copper coins.

  What surprised Ye Wen was that the man, although falling to the ground, did not fall over, but instead rolled forward on the ground, dissipating the force on his body, and then immediately stood up and continued to run lightly.

  Ye Wen was greatly shocked, he had been very careful, but did not expect that this person's lightness skill was so formidable, after losing his center of gravity, he could still recover so quickly, the copper coins on his hand were immediately thrown out, only in the haste forgot to start the Purple Mist Skill, and the power was inevitably weakened by several points.

  Fortunately, the accuracy was not bad, four out of five hit the opponent, unfortunately, the part that was hit did not seem to be critical, especially since it did not hit the opponent's legs. Most of them hit the back or shoulders, and at the same time, the black shadow took advantage of its own strength from these few hidden weapons and suddenly rushed forward a great distance, and in just this short moment, there was no longer any trace of it.

  "He actually ran away"

  Although Ye Wen had practiced his lightness skill against the stone wall, he hadn't delved deep into it and only chased for a few steps before realizing he couldn't catch up to the other person. Although he was confident that with his skills, he could follow the other person's shadow from a distance, waiting for them to tire or their injuries to flare up so he could capture them, but he couldn't be certain if this person was using the "Tiger Leaving the Mountain" tactic. If he recklessly chased after them and was counterattacked at his own mountain gate, it would be too costly.

  As for the other person's identity, Ye Wen could also roughly guess it, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to find that person.

  "At present, the only ones who have had dealings with our Shu Shan Sect are the Zhengquan Gate and the Tianle Gang. The Zhengquan Gate definitely doesn't have such a high-ranking expert, otherwise they would have unified Shu Shan long ago. So it can only be someone from the Tianle Gang."

  This conclusion is not good, Ye Wen was originally still fortunate that Tianle Gang seemed to have made a wrong judgment about his own sect, giving him plenty of time to develop and expand his power. He can calmly clean up Zhengquanmen and other neighbors who are not kind to himself.

  It seems that Tianle Gang has realized the threat of their own sect, and from the fact that they sent such a high-ranking person to investigate the virtual reality of Shushan Sect, one can infer something.

  "If Tian Le Gang comes directly to kill me, can I hold on?"

  Now, among the three people who are the masters of Mount Shu, Ye Wen himself is confident that he can fight against any famous master in Pingzhou. Although he doesn't guarantee a stable win, he believes he won't fall too far behind either.

  Ning Yuxue and Xu Xian are slightly weaker, but both of them have a playing style that is good at dodging and weaving. If they play well, they have a chance to win with the weak beating the strong. If they encounter someone whose skills and techniques clash with theirs, it's not impossible for them to win a big victory.

  It's just like in the Heroes' Assembly of The Legend of the Condor Hero, where Little Dragon Maiden's kung fu was far inferior to Golden Wheel Bhikkhu, but she managed to hold her own against him for a while with her superior lightness skill. Now, Ning Ruxue's kung fu may not be as good as Little Dragon Maiden's, but it's unlikely that the Tianle Gang's branch has anyone as powerful as Golden Wheel Bhikkhu.

  Apart from this, Ye Wen was fortunate that Liu Qingfeng happened to still be in his Shu Shan Sect. If the other party had really come directly to provoke him, this old Taoist would absolutely not sit idly by, which would be equivalent to having an additional top-level fighter on their side.

  Two top-notch experts from Pingzhou, two slightly inferior ones, plus my own disciples who are stronger than average sect disciples. Unless the elite of Tianle Sect's branches all come out, wanting to destroy Shushan Sect is just empty talk.

  After calculating, Ye Wen found that his strength had increased a lot compared to before, which made him slightly more at ease. He gathered the scattered copper coins and found that one was missing. Ye Wen thought for a moment and estimated that it must have been taken by the black-clothed man. He cursed: "Has he gone mad from poverty? Not even sparing a single coin!" Then he didn't bother to look for it anymore, turned around and headed straight for the house where Liu Qingfeng lived.

  ……

  Tian Le Bang's branch leader, Wei Peng, sat calmly in his room sipping tea, gazing out the window at the moonlight, lost in thought. Just as he was spacing out, a sudden sound of clothes tearing through the air came from outside, and a figure leapt in through the window, sitting down across from Wei Peng in the blink of an eye.

  "Huh? Are you injured?" Wei Peng was astonished to see the fresh blood at the corner of Lu Tian's mouth. In his impression, Lu Tian's lightness skill was one of the best in Pingzhou, and he had never seen him get hurt before. This was because Lu Tian knew when to run away, and ordinary people didn't have such good lightness skills, so they couldn't even catch up with him, let alone injure him.

  Today he originally sent Lu Tian to explore Shu Mountain, to see how strong the Shu Mountain Sect was, and it would be best if they could try out some of the top masters in their sect. Who knew that not long after, Lu Tian returned, and judging by his appearance, he had clearly suffered a great loss.

  "Isn't there someone in the Shu Shan Sect with a lighter kung fu than yours?"

  Lu Tian took a deep breath and finally calmed down his injuries, but when he heard the helmsman's news, he immediately shook his head: "I'm not inferior in lightness kung fu, I was injured by someone using hidden weapons."

  When Lu Tian was injured by a hidden weapon, Wei Peng wasn't as surprised as he was earlier, but he was curious about what kind of hidden weapon it was: "What kind of hidden weapon did the opponent use?"

  As soon as he spoke, Lu Tian's expression became strange and he stood there, seemingly thinking about something. Wei Peng found it even more bizarre and asked another question.

  This time, Lu Tian didn't respond, but instead directly revealed the object in his hand to Wei Peng. Wei Peng glanced down and saw a yellowish-orange copper plate quietly lying in Lu Tian's palm. If he hadn't known that this person was usually not serious and liked to be sly, but when discussing important matters, he never joked around, Wei Peng would have probably immediately turned hostile, thinking that Lu Tian was playing tricks on him.

  Can copper coins really hurt someone? And let Lu Tian, a master with considerable skills, get injured and spit blood. What kind of power is this? It's not that no one in the current Jianghu can do it, at least among the top masters in the Central Plains who can hurt people with flying flowers and leaves, there are some. Moreover, ordinary stones can also hurt people, but that's in the Central Plains, whereas now, we're in Pingzhou.

  Of course, it's not that Pingzhou doesn't have masters who can achieve this, but they absolutely shouldn't be in a small and unknown sect like this.

  Wei Peng looked up at Lu Tian and asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

  Lu Tian shook his head: "Absolutely no mistake, when I was hiding on the roof, it was Ye Wen who forced me out with a copper coin. Later, when I was hit by a hidden weapon and fell to the ground, I took this thing in my hand along the way. Then that young man threw a few more, four of which hit me, fortunately not as strong as this one, otherwise I wouldn't be back today"

  As soon as he spoke, Wei Peng also took a deep breath: "You said you met the leader of Shu Mountain Sect? He actually has such profound skills?"

  Ye Wen's identity as the leader of Shu Shan Sect and his appearance had all been investigated by Tian Le Gang, so when Lu Tian saw Ye Wen, he knew his identity: "It was him, even he could discover me who had hidden myself. At first, I thought it was a trick, so I didn't make a sound. Until he made his move, I realized he really discovered me." Plus the way he used the hidden weapon and the internal force, to achieve this level, his inner strength must be among the best in Ping Zhou.

  Wei Peng didn't say a word, he just kept fiddling with the copper coin.

  Lu Tian thought for a moment and continued: "But this Ye Wen's kung fu seems to be somewhat strange, it's possible that his kung fu method has some special features. Those few copper coins that came later were not as powerful as the one that knocked me down from mid-air, could it be that he can't sustain this strong internal energy for long?"

  He nodded and said, "It's very likely."

  Actually, Wei Peng hoped that things were indeed as Lu Tian had guessed, because only then would it mean that the enemy they were about to face was not yet strong enough to make them feel helpless.

  If Ye Wen could exert such powerful force at any time and place, then his cultivation would probably be among the top in Pingzhou. Although Wei Peng had great confidence in his own cultivation, he didn't dare guarantee a stable win at this moment.

  Thinking back to when they used to view the Shu Shan Sect as nothing more than roadside weeds, not taking them seriously at all, Wei Peng felt it was utterly ironic.

  After some thought, he looked at Lu Tian again, who was still covering his chest: "How's your injury? Is it serious?"

  Lu Tian adjusted his breathing and finally revealed a bitter smile: "The palm master of Shu Mountain has a rather strange power, at first I thought the power was very fierce, but I didn't feel it was hard to bear. But now I find that this power is constantly stirring up trouble in my meridians, it seems that this injury won't recover for some time."

  Upon hearing this, Wei Peng was shocked once again: "Is there such a thing?" As he spoke, his hand immediately pinched Lu Tian's hand, and his true energy began to circulate, going forward to investigate the situation inside Lu Tian's body.

  This probe just detected that Lu Tian's body had a thread of true energy, which did not rush around, but slowly swayed back and forth. It seemed that it would not cause any harm to people, but in fact, this true energy took a steady and steady approach. If delayed for a few days, the injuries caused by this true energy would burst out all at once. Although Lu Tian would not die from it, he would still suffer from it.

  Realizing this, Wei Peng immediately used his internal energy to help Lu Tian heal his wounds. The night was spent like this, and it wasn't until dawn that the two of them finally stopped.

  "This true energy is indeed extraordinary, not something that can be achieved through ordinary internal strength training. It seems that the Shu Shan Sect also has many exquisite skills. He then asked Lu Tian: "Can you now engage in hand-to-hand combat with others?"

  Lu Tian took a look at himself and finally said: "Fighting with people is no problem, it's just that now I'm afraid I can't exert my full strength."

  Wei Peng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. Based on the information we've gathered over the past few days, that young master we met is actually the junior brother of the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect. His swordsmanship may be exquisite, but if you really engage him in battle, you shouldn't have any trouble defeating him. Apart from that, Ye Wen also has a junior sister, and although I don't know what her abilities are like, she's just a woman..."

  "Besides, there are no seniors in Shushan Sect, which means there are no masters either."

  "What does the helmsman mean?"

  "You come with me to Shu Mountain, I want to personally meet the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect" Although he had investigated a lot of information, Lu Tian still went to the Shu Mountain Sect to investigate and got injured. However, no matter how much data there was, it couldn't compare to seeing it with his own eyes. Wei Peng found that after getting more data, he still couldn't give an accurate definition of the Shu Mountain Sect's strength. So, he decided to personally meet Ye Zhangmen, and only after having a direct impression could he decide on the future actions of the Tian Le Gang.

  If Ye Wen is really that strong, then he should consider winning over the Shu Shan Sect properly, at least not let them lean towards the Hu Shan Sect - although this goal now seems difficult to achieve, because in recent days, Wei Peng also heard that Ye Wen, the leader of the Shu Shan Sect, personally helped Liu Qingfeng of the Hu Shan Sect treat his internal injuries. At first, he didn't take the rumors seriously, but now he doesn't dare think like that anymore.

  "This thing is probably eighty percent true, if so, the relationship between Shu Shan Sect and Hu Shan Sect..."

  Simple grooming, Wei Peng brought a slightly uneasy mood to the top of Shu Mountain. The branch of the Shu Mountain Sect at the foot of the mountain did catch his attention, but he didn't stay and went straight to the summit.

  All the way, big and small miscellaneous door plaques and some roles that were like fish in his eyes swam around, many people even wanted to directly take action to catch him back to their own door plaque - these people were used to robbing people.

  For these short-sighted, weak-willed guys, Wei Peng directly used Eagle Claw Skill to teach them a lesson: lightly, they lost their hands and feet; severely, they barely kept their lives.

  This move, and no one dared to pay attention to him again. All the way, he went unimpeded, without a single person daring to block his path. Even those sects that had suffered losses did not dare to take the lead for their own people. The two moves just now had already made these people understand that this brother was not someone that these small fries could afford to provoke.

  "Who is this person?"

  "No matter who he is, we can't afford to offend him"

  "What's so great about that? Having the guts to challenge Ye Zhangmen is nothing, what kind of hero are you if you can't even get along with us brothers?"

  "Hmm? Look at them going up the mountain, could they be heading for Mount Shu Sect?"

  ……

  Nor did they know what idea these people had, but after guessing that this ruthless guy might be going to make trouble for the Shu Shan Sect (anyway, it didn't look like he was going to pay a visit), they followed him from afar in twos and threes, actually wanting to watch the excitement.

  Wei Peng didn't even bother to deal with these people, he just walked his own way, letting the bunch of annoying flies-like guys buzz around him nonstop.

  "Shall I go and chase them all away?"

  "They can watch the excitement if they want to." Wei Peng had also made up his mind, since he came today, he couldn't help but fight with Ye Wen. Although various information showed that Ye Wen was not a good person to deal with, he was confident that even if their skills were similar, he could defeat his opponent with his rich combat experience.

  If I can defeat Ye Wen in front of so many people, I believe the prestige of Shu Shan Sect in this territory will also decrease a lot. At that time, there should be quite a few people who will find trouble with Ye Wen, which is equivalent to helping our Tian Le Gang restrain this suddenly emerging force.

  In the distance, the majestic gate of Shu Mountain Sect appeared before Wei Peng. He looked at the imposing gate and the three large characters "Shu Shan Pai" written on it, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this sect. In Pingzhou, he had seen many rotten sects that were like weeds, but a sect with a real mountain gate like this was truly rare. The Hu Shan Sect was one, and now there was also the Shu Shan Sect.

  "Just by looking at this mountain gate, one can tell that the Shu Shan Sect has great ambitions"

  After saying a word to Lu Tian, Wei Peng stepped into the gate of Shu Mountain Sect. As soon as he entered, he saw a young man wearing a light blue scholar's long shirt standing there, clasping his fists and saying: "I don't know where the noble guest comes from? What is the purpose of visiting my Shu Mountain Sect?"

  There were already disciples of the Shu Shan sect who had seen so many people coming to the mountain together, and they ran back to report to Ye Wen. Ye Wen, who had realized something, directly led the group to the courtyard in front of the main hall, quietly waiting for their arrival.

  If he is a guest, he doesn't mind having a grand welcoming ceremony; if he is an enemy, then let's settle the outcome in front of the main hall.
