Chapter 30 yielded tremendous results.
Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry to leave Yuanguang City.
Now even the city lord Shen Jiyue has been killed by his sword.
At this moment, no one in the entire Yuanguang City could pose a threat to him.
Shen Jiyue's last words made Li Xiuyuan even more curious about his mother, Shangguan Xiuhong.
It is quite obvious that this "Absorption Technique" might be a powerful technique that the Shangguan family keeps secret.
It's like the Li family's "Three Thousand Waves Palm," even more prestigious.
However, his mother, Shangguan Xiuhong, had brought him out and handed him over to his father.
This is definitely not as simple as just love on the surface.
Lin Shuang had previously mentioned that her mother, Shangguan Xiuhong, had disappeared from the martial arts world more than a decade ago.
This is debatable.
However, the reason why the Shangguan family had not come to Yuanguang City to find the Li family for more than ten years was that their mother had not made their father's and their own existence public.
This indirectly protected both himself and his father.
However, because of Lin Shuang's arrival...
This will all spread quickly.
Just as Shen Jiyue said before she died, the matter here is too big to be kept secret.
As long as he doesn't die, he will be relentlessly hunted down.
The Lin family and the Shangguan family.
Now we have the Shen family added to the list.
More importantly, he possessed the martial arts technique left to him by his mother.
Even if it doesn't alarm the entire martial arts world of the Great Li Dynasty, at least the whole of Yunzhou will be in an uproar!
As Li Xiuyuan sped toward the city lord's mansion, many thoughts raced through his mind.
But regardless.
Since it has already happened, and I have no choice, I can only frantically make myself stronger.
As a transmigrator, after several days of getting used to the place, Li Xiuyuan understood his current situation and wanted to survive in this world.
There is only one road.
That is to become stronger, to become someone who can crush the Lin family, the Shangguan family, the Shen family, and even the entire Yunzhou.
Who would dare to act recklessly?
Just like the Li family three days ago, they arbitrarily arranged their own fates and killed people at will.
But three days later.
The Li family simply vanished!
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan knew that nothing was more reasonable or more polite than fists.
What Li Xiuyuan wants now is to plunder the City Lord's Mansion for anything that will be useful for his future cultivation.
The Li family of Yuanguang City was massacred, and the city lord's mansion was destroyed.
This news will probably spread tomorrow.
Therefore, you must act quickly.
Standing outside the city lord's mansion.
Looking at the magnificent city lord's mansion in front of him, Li Xiuyuan tightened the silk handkerchief stained with blood that he was using to treat his wound.
Then, with a flash, he entered the city lord's mansion.
"Who?"
As expected of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiuyuan was discovered almost as soon as he entered. Immediately, a fat man in his forties wearing a butler's uniform blocked Li Xiuyuan's way.
Several more figures quickly appeared around them.
"It's...you, you..."
Li Xiuyuan, however, had no time to waste on these petty thugs.
He took a step forward, and his longsword was drawn from its sheath.
In the blink of an eye, he had already killed the few people who had appeared.
He turned to look at the obese butler.
The long sword was pointed at him.
Blood rolled down and splashed on the ground, seeping into the cracks of the stone slabs paving the courtyard.
The butler had barely uttered the word "you" when the people in front of him turned into corpses, and he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Young Master Xiuyuan, spare my life, I..."
Li Xiuyuan wasn't surprised that the steward recognized him. After all, his predecessor was quite famous in Yuanguang City, as the Li family had a well-known reputation for being a good-for-nothing.
Moreover, as the steward of the city lord's mansion, he naturally knew everything about the major powers in Yuanguang City.
"Go and bring me all the cultivation techniques, silver, and pills from the City Lord's mansion!"
"what?"
The steward suddenly looked up, and just as he was looking at Li Xiuyuan with a look of surprise and doubt, Li Xiuyuan slashed the steward's face with his long sword without any hesitation.
The sight of a conspicuous bloody gash made the butler immediately cover his face, his eyes filled with extreme terror.
"Aren't you going?"
Li Xiuyuan snorted coldly.
"Right away, I'll go right away..."
Not daring to utter another word of "no," and without even a moment's hesitation, he immediately scrambled to his feet and ran away.
As the steward of the city lord's mansion, he naturally knows more about the mansion than I do.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan looked in the direction where the steward disappeared, but did not follow. Instead, he walked directly into the council hall.
If anyone tried to stop him or spoke rudely to him on the way, Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate at all.
One sword strike, and silence fell instantly.
Seeing that several of them were kneeling and begging for mercy, Li Xiuyuan ordered them to go to the city lord's mansion to find all the cultivation resources and send them to the council hall.
In less than fifteen minutes...
Li Xiuyuan sat in the council hall, and before he had even finished his cup of tea, several people came into the hall carrying boxes, holding a bunch of pill bottles, or carrying several exquisite wooden boxes.
"Young Master Xiuyuan... everything we could find is here, look..."
Li Xiuyuan stood up, and the others took a few steps back as they looked at him, who was covered in blood, their eyes filled with terror.
After all, along the way, they had seen many servants and martial artists lying dead on the ground.
Li Xiuyuan opened the wooden boxes one by one.
Among them are several martial arts manuals.
The ninth-grade "Flowing Cloud Acupoint Finger" is a finger technique for striking acupoints. It is light and invisible, and makes no sound when it is used. Combined with body movements, it can strike several acupoints in an instant while moving around, sealing the meridians and locking the pulse!
As for the matching movement technique, Li Xiuyuan also found the ninth-grade "Flowing Cloud Step" in several subsequent martial arts manuals.
The ninth rank also has a set of sword techniques called "Hundred Battles Sword Technique". Li Xiuyuan just glanced at it casually and saw that it was a basic sword technique practiced by the city guards.
However, like the Golden Goose Skill, it is moderate and peaceful, and it is a skill that is not only easy to learn but also allows one to slowly improve internal strength during practice.
"Not bad, not bad," Li Xiuyuan put the three cultivation techniques aside and then looked at the remaining two.
One of them is a sword technique called "Swift Strike," which is an eighth-grade skill.
This is a sword technique focused on extreme speed and instantaneous killing. Upon reviewing it, Li Xiuyuan discovered that if he mastered it to perfection, he could achieve the effect of instantaneous killing in the blink of an eye simply by circulating his internal energy to execute the sword moves.
Li Xiuyuan was very satisfied and decided to first learn the basics of the "Swift Strike" technique.
The last book is a palm technique called "Mighty Vajra Palm," which is also of the eighth rank.
Li Xiuyuan could almost guess the gist of it just by looking at the name, and a quick glance confirmed his guess.
It really is Shaolin's internal martial arts technique. I wonder where Shen Jiyue got it from.
After all, these distinctive internal martial arts techniques of sects are generally not passed on to outsiders.
Recalling the time when Shen Jiyue struck him with a palm strike that left him dizzy and disoriented in the Li family, it must have been this Mighty Vajra Palm.
Fortunately, Shen Jiyue was probably only at the beginner level, so her power was relatively weak. If she had already reached the Great Perfection level...
If that palm strike landed squarely on my head, even with maxed-out Iron Shirt skills, I'd be smashed into an idiot...
