Chapter 317: Old Martial Arts and New Martial Arts

The Lu Mansion and the Chen Mansion were only separated by a street.

The Lu Mansion was located in the south of Yunyan County and was engaged in the silk business, not only limited to Yunyan County but also radiating to the entire province.

Master Lu was benevolent and often repaired roads and distributed porridge, earning a good reputation in Yunyan County.

Master Lu's proudest achievement was giving birth to a Martial Dao genius son.

This Lu Bufan had extremely high Martial Dao talent and even had the potential to be recruited by the Demon Suppression Bureau, becoming a regional commander.

However, half a month ago, Lu Bufan from the Lu Mansion went missing, causing a sensation in Yunyan County. Master Lu even offered a reward of seven thousand taels of silver to find his son Lu Bufan.

Unfortunately, his son was not found. A week ago, the entire Lu family was killed, causing a sensation throughout Yunyan County.

That night, in addition to the Lu family being killed, the Chen Mansion also suffered a massacre, with all seventy-six members of the family being killed.

Yunyan County was in an uproar, and people from the Demon Suppression Bureau came to investigate the massacre.

Qi Yuan drank thin porridge and sat casually, his thoughts wandering: "There is no glass here, no cannons. If I were to make these, wouldn't I make a fortune?"

Indeed, this game was suitable for farming and technological development.

But after thinking about it, Qi Yuan didn't dwell on it.

He needed to complete the mission first. He was in a hurry to return to participate in the Martial Dao Conference and was still waiting to form a Gold Core.

"Ah, it's a pity. The young master of the Lu family and the daughter of the Chen family were just engaged, and they encountered such a tragic event."

Around him, some common people whispered with a look of regret in their words.

Qi Yuan stood up and no longer listened to the whispers of these NPCs.

He had gathered enough information.

At this time, he headed towards the Lu Mansion.

As he approached the Lu Mansion, the entire street became desolate, with even beggars rarely seen.

From a hundred meters away, Qi Yuan could already smell the strong smell of blood.

In the distance, the constables of the yamen had set up a cordon, prohibiting ordinary people from entering.

Was Qi Yuan an ordinary person?

No.

He was a player.

So, he swaggered towards the Lu Mansion.

Ahead, several constables were chatting.

When they saw someone approaching, the spirits of those constables rose. When they saw who it was, Li Shu raised his knife and glanced at Qi Yuan sideways, "Qi Er, instead of selling pork properly, why did you come here? Did you think you're a high-ranking member of the Demon Suppression Bureau, scaring me, Li Shu?"

Li Shu often bought pork from Qi Er, um... without paying. So, Li Shu knew Qi Er.

"I came here to complete a mission." Sincerity was a killer move.

Qi Yuan felt that these NPCs also had the right to know that this was a game world.

"So, let me in quickly, complete the mission, and I'm in a hurry to log out." Qi Yuan always followed the rules and reasoned. If he wasn't afraid of being too ostentatious, he even wanted to carve the word "reason" on his forehead.

Sure enough, Qi Yuan's words made Li Shu pause, "Are you crazy, Qi Er? Did you lose your mind because Huang Siye is marrying your child bride?"

Huang Siye wanted to marry Qi Er's child bride, and at that time, Qi Er went to Li Shu for help.

The result was predictable. Although Li Shu owed Qi Er money, he simply didn't pay it back.

At this moment, a man and a woman dressed in black walked towards them.

The round-faced woman was tall, holding a whip in her left hand and leading a big black dog with her right hand, "What's going on?"

Li Shu immediately changed his tone when he saw the newcomers, "These two adults, this Qi Er is a butcher in the city. I don't know what madness he's got into, insisting on going to the Lu Mansion."

"I suspect that he might be related to the Lu Mansion massacre. Should we arrest him and throw him in jail?" Li Shu's words were quite malicious.

In this world, being arrested and thrown into jail meant either death or being skinned alive.

Li Shu had sinister intentions and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Qi Er.

With these words, he wouldn't have to repay the money he owed, and... no one would know about the scheme he had set up.

Qi Yuan owed gambling debts and used a child bride to pay off the debt. It was his plan.

The round-faced woman glanced at Qi Yuan and smiled mischievously, "He looks so handsome, clearly a good person. It's a pity, someone so handsome, what's he doing as a butcher?"

The round-faced woman's words stunned Li Shu.

The man in the black suit chuckled, "Don't let love cloud your judgment when it comes to missions."

Obviously, the round-faced woman didn't do this often.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, "Are you two also players, players in the game?"

He felt a bit confused.

This world is a massive game, and there are actually players in the game world.

"You... are you a newcomer?" The round-faced woman was surprised, her eyes suddenly becoming fiery.

"He's actually a newcomer!" The man in the black suit glanced at Qi Yuan and made a judgment.

The natives of this world couldn't even say the word "player".

"We're not players, we're members of the Demon Suppression Bureau!" The round-faced woman spoke up, "After this mission is completed... if you're still alive, maybe we can become colleagues."

In this world, appearance is justice.

Beauty alone is a sin, but when combined with other things, it can be a lethal weapon in modern society.

If Qi Yuan were an ugly person, she wouldn't bother saying so much.

The round-faced woman looked at Li Shu and smiled lightly, "He's one of us."

As she spoke, she patted Li Shu on the shoulder.

Li Shu quickly smiled and sweat broke out on his forehead, "I was just being ignorant!"

How did Qi Er get involved with the Demon Suppression Bureau?

No, he had to quickly tell Fourth Master Huang about this.

With the voice of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Qi Yuan was able to enter the Lu family's mansion as he wished.

The round-faced woman looked around, holding a big black dog and smiling brightly, "You should thank me. That constable just now had ill intentions towards you, and I took care of it for you."

"You're lucky, meeting me, a beauty, on your first mission. If it were someone else, who knows how they would have tricked you."

Just now, she patted Li Shu's shoulder to make her move.

Qi Yuan blinked, "He owes me money and you killed him?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the black suit quickly said, "Enough with the nonsense, our mission is important!"

As he spoke, he looked at the round-faced woman and the big black dog she was holding.

"Xiao Bai, go sniff around and see if there are any clues." The round-faced woman shook the rope, signaling the big black dog to go ask.

"This is no ordinary dog, it's a tracking dog trained by An Qiao, very rare and precious. This dog is similar to a police dog in the real world, able to smell things that ordinary people can't, which is helpful for our mission. But this dog's personality is a bit... tsk tsk." The man in the black suit explained enthusiastically to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan also looked at the tracking dog. This dog, like the big black dog in Qi Yuan's Qingshui Village, had black fur, but compared to the energetic one in the village, this dog seemed lifeless, with the clear and foolish eyes of a college student.

"Xiao Bai, go sniff!" An Qiao urged the big black dog.

The big black dog lazily lay on the ground, not bothering to move.

The man in the black suit laughed, "Let the dog work, let the dog eat well."

The tracking dog wagged its tail slightly, seemingly agreeing with the man in the black suit's words.

An Qiao revealed a foxy smile, "Luckily, I was prepared early. I personally cooked this morning and made a meal."

As she spoke, a basket appeared in her hand, containing steaming hot food.

"Storage space?" Qi Yuan looked at the man in the black suit.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, this man in the black suit played the role of an NPC commentator, so Qi Yuan had no pressure to ask.

Reaching out to ask questions without blushing.

The man in the black suit also played his role kindly: "This is not a storage space, it is martial arts.

When you become a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, you can also exchange techniques and practice martial arts.

The principle of this martial art is to use qi and blood to construct a space for storage."

"Not bad, there are many paths to the same destination," Qi Yuan exclaimed.

Martial Artists in the Qi and Blood Realm can be compared to cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, and they can have something similar to a storage ring.

That's pretty good.

You should know that to refine a storage bag or a storage ring, you need to be at least a Primal Core cultivator.

At this time, An Qiao brought out the food and placed it in front of the tracking dog.

Qi Yuan looked at the specially prepared food and suddenly lost his appetite.

The tracking dog sniffed it with anticipation and immediately showed a disappointed expression.

The man in the black suit also smiled.

At this moment, the tracking dog stared at An Qiao and unexpectedly spoke human words: "How about... after you finish eating, can you give it to me?"

This food is not meant for humans at all, it's too pungent.

Even dogs won't eat it.

The fact that the dog is speaking human language out of desperation.

An Qiao's face immediately turned purple: "You fat dog, if you don't want to eat, hurry up and sniff it, is there any clue!"

The tracking dog muttered with its mouth full: "You want the dog to work, but you don't let the dog eat enough, you're really treating me like a dog!"

Although it said that, An Qiao had already called it a fat dog, if it didn't work, An Qiao would really be angry.

It lowered its head and sniffed left and right.

Qi Yuan and the others followed behind it, scanning the courtyard of the Luo family.

The courtyard of the Luo family was empty, with some bloodstains on the ground.

But what's strange is that there are no signs of a fight, nor any signs of a fire.

"Weird, there are no signs of a fight, and no signs of a fire.

But all their bodies have turned into charcoal, you can't tell anything," the man in the black suit said suspiciously.

Last night, they investigated the bodies and found that all the bodies had turned into charcoal, emitting a foul smell, and it was almost impossible to find any useful information.

"You're really stupid, obviously they were burned after they died, and it was obviously done by the county lord," An Qiao said with a serious expression.

The man in the black suit became wary when he heard this: "It's him... it seems that this matter is very complicated.

But this time there are newcomers, so the difficulty should be low.

In addition to the three Great Monster forces in Yunyan County, the county lord... has hidden intentions, something is not right."

Generally speaking, in the worst case scenario for a new mission, the biggest enemy would be a Qi and Blood Realm Monster Race.

But it is obvious that the one who killed the Luo family is not an ordinary monster.

You should know that both the Luo family and the Chen family have Blood Martial Artists.

Even experienced investigators like them would have a hard time dealing with this kind of monster, let alone newcomers like Qi Yuan, who are almost sending themselves to their deaths.

"Maybe it's because I'm special, so my mission has a little bit of difficulty," Qi Yuan replied with a smile.

"You're lucky to have met us," the man in the black suit sighed.

At this time, the tracking dog also spoke up: "Here, I smell the scent of two Monster Races, one is a yellow weasel, and the other is... aquatic. Among them, there is also a familiar scent, as if I've smelled it somewhere before."

"It actually involves two Great Monster forces?" The round-faced woman's expression also turned ugly.

Yesterday, Chen Fan mentioned that there are three Monster Race forces in Yunyan County that should not be easily offended.

Two of them are the yellow weasel and the aquatic races.

This case has implicated these two forces, how can they not be shocked?

"The strongest combat power of the yellow weasel clan is the Blood Martial Great Accomplishment. Among the four of us, except for the captain, no one is his match.

Among the aquatic races, there are rumored to be monsters above the Qi and Blood Realm, very difficult!" The round-faced woman frowned.

This investigation has unexpectedly provoked two major forces, making it difficult for them to extricate themselves.

Qi Yuan looked at the big black dog and asked, "What does the familiar smell mean?"

As for the yellow weasel and the aquatic clan, Qi Yuan was originally going to find them.

That was his mobile blood station.

Now what he wanted to investigate was the true cause of the destruction of the Luo and Chen families.

"I don't know," the tracking dog shook its head.

Qi Yuan was somewhat disappointed.

His eyes also saw a lot of information.

But for him, this information was not important.

For example, he saw that Uncle Huang had been to the Luo family before, and he also saw that a monster from the aquatic clan had been here.

At this time, the tracking dog sniffed with its nose, and it approached Qi Yuan and sniffed hard, "Strange... you also have a similar smell to that of the aquatic clan, but... it's not the same."

"Have you encountered a monster from the aquatic clan?" the round-faced woman asked.

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, "The aquatic clan... shouldn't have, right?"

After coming to this world, his eyes had been searching for useful information everywhere.

He hadn't encountered the aquatic clan.

If it was the previous host?

Even more impossible.

He was the original body that descended into this world.

As for Qi Er, he had long since disappeared.

"That's strange," the man in black armor frowned.

At this moment, Qi Yuan asked, "Do you have any martial arts and techniques here? Give me some, I want to learn, especially the martial arts from the storage earlier, I'm quite interested."

Qi Yuan once again acted like a beggar.

Anyway, the other party was an NPC.

If the other party wanted to trade, he would trade.

"Our martial arts... cannot be traded," the man in black armor shook his head, "You have to enter the Demon Suppression Bureau to exchange them."

"It seems that I have to find some martial arts manuals here," Qi Yuan casually said.

His current strength was not strong enough, he needed to learn some martial arts and master the Martial Dao techniques in order to improve his strength.

"Don't learn the martial arts here!" the round-faced woman quickly reminded, "The martial arts here are... old martial arts."

Once you learn old martial arts, it's very difficult to change your path."

"Oh? The setting is so complicated, there are old martial arts and new martial arts? Which one is more powerful?"

"The people in our Demon Suppression Bureau all learn new martial arts," the round-faced woman, An Qiao, said at this time, "Don't be fooled by appearances, old martial arts and new martial arts in this world seem similar and have the same power."

"But there is a clear difference between old martial arts and new martial arts, that is... old martial arts are only applicable in this world."

"In a new world, an old martial artist... will have their strength reduced by one level."

But a new martial artist will not have this problem, no matter which world they go to, they can maintain their strength.

In our Demon Suppression Bureau, there are also many seniors, but unfortunately, they didn't understand at the beginning and chose old martial arts, what a pity."

An Qiao looked regretful.

Qi Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Many worlds? Many games?"

"Yes, every time our mission is actually in different... parallel worlds," An Qiao answered, "Only new martial arts are universally applicable in various worlds."

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, "This setting... seems to be related to the realm of the Great Ultimate Truth in Yang God."

"Yang God, the realm of the Great Ultimate Truth, what is that?" An Qiao was somewhat puzzled.
