This Martial Saint’s Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 101: Chapter 94 Tao Foundation_2

Zhang Mingze said.

Wu Yihua stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his head,

“Master Zhang needn’t be so courteous. You should already know about what happened at the Market Entrance, right?”

“I heard about it.”

“What do you think?”

“What exactly is it that Lord Wu wants to ask?”

Wu Yihua stared at him, “Now it can be confirmed that this Green-faced Ghost definitely doesn’t belong to either side of the conflict. Such a person, where does Master Zhang think he could possibly come from? Could he really just be a knight-errant from the World who emerged out of nowhere?”

Zhang Mingze’s eyes shifted, “Does Lord Wu have any conjectures?”

Wu Yihua narrowed his eyes, “Neither belonging to our side nor the Chief’s side, I think there is one place most likely to secretly cultivate a martial master with the motive to take action against both sides.”

“Oh?”

Zhang Mingze was taken aback, “Does Lord Wu mean Qingyuan Fist Village?”

Wu Yihua nodded, “The Green-faced Ghost has offended both parties. What good does that do him? Not even those chivalrous knights of the World would act so recklessly, so I suspect this person might have been sent by Qingyuan Fist Village to disrupt the situation.”

Zhang Mingze fell into deep thought.

The Green-faced Ghost initially appeared in Qingyuan Fist Village, and there, he violated the Village’s rules by striking, but Qingyuan Fist Village had no reaction at all…

“Do you think this Green-faced Ghost might be hiding in the Village?”

Zhang Mingze asked.

If the Green-faced Ghost was indeed from Qingyuan Fist Village, then naturally he could only be hiding there.

This place had not been searched when the three Courts conducted a joint investigation previously.

Wu Yihua’s eyes held a killing intent,

“This is a good opportunity. It’s rare for both sides to work together. Whether or not the Green-faced Ghost is from Qingyuan Fist Village, we can take the chance to eliminate this power and divide up this piece of fat meat!”

“But the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village is a strong practitioner at the Tao Foundation Stage,”

Zhang Mingze frowned.

If one were to use civil service promotions as an analogy for Martial Arts, breaking through from the Body Breaking Stage to the Qi Change Stage, evolving from a martial artist to a martial master, is akin to a First Rank Clerk being promoted to a Second Rank Subordinate Official, passing through the first Dragon Gate, already establishing one’s foundation, no longer an insignificant character.

Next, breaking through from the Qi Change Stage to the Tao Foundation Stage is like being promoted from a Second Rank Subordinate Official to a Third Rank Imperial Official, crossing the second Dragon Gate!

The title of “Imperial Official,” these four simple words, is an honor most officials will never achieve in their lifetimes.

Every “Imperial Official” is registered at the Cabinet Central, appointed after review by the highest authority of the empire, receiving an official command tablet and a golden seal from the court.

The Green-faced Ghost killing seven Subordinate Officials in one night was enough to shake Xing City.

But if he killed an Imperial Official, it wouldn’t just be the government of Xing City that would be alarmed, Datong Prefecture would send people down to investigate!

That’s the weight of an Imperial Official.

Comparatively, a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Arts practitioner also carries a similarly significant weight.

Even in this era where Martial Arts are prevalent and strength is revered, a Tao Foundation Stage practitioner’s status could exceed that of most Imperial Officials!

In the whole of Xing City, among the official and underworld forces, and in the martial community, there are just two known Tao Foundation Stage practitioners:

One is the Chief of Zhi Ge Court, and the other is the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village.

This is why a woman could control such a large “Treasure Bowl,” enabling her to make various powers comply and abide by her rules.

Masters have that kind of authority!

“As long as Yan Shouzun is willing to act, and with the collaboration of the Inspection Bureau, Zhi Ge Court, and Righteous Court, Qingyuan Fist Village shouldn’t be a problem to handle, right?”

Wu Yihua asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingze laughed; he finally understood that the other party had come to him not only to make suggestions but also to probe.

How did the Tiger Saber Gang, in just over a decade, jump from a minor faction to become the foremost gang in Xing City, befriend a host of influential figures, plant people everywhere, and even rival the Chief face to face with a vague upper hand?

Aside from Yu Hu and Zhang Mingze’s adeptness, it was also because the Tiger Saber Gang had made connections with Zhi Ge Court, winning the support of Yan Shouzun!

Many people, including Wu Yihua at first, thought the Tiger Saber Gang was just an evil hound Yan Shouzun kept outdoors to make money on his behalf and handle some inconvenient affairs.

But later, as the Tiger Saber Gang grew stronger and Yan Shouzun secluded himself in Zhi Ge Court for cultivation, seldom managing affairs within the Court, it really didn’t seem like he was secretly manipulating the Gang’s actions.

Later, once Wu Yihua boarded the ship of the Tiger Saber Gang, he increasingly felt that the Gang was clearly run by Yu Hu alone, not at all like it was under someone’s control.

But Yu Hu, a Refining Strength Martial Master with a cultivation at most at the peak of the Qi Change Stage, how could he have a say in front of Yan Shouzun?

So Wu Yihua was very curious about the relationship between the Tiger Saber Gang and Zhi Ge Court’s Chief. Could Yu Hu really ask Yan Shouzun to act?

“Lord Wu, I think you’re oversimplifying the matter,”

Zhang Mingze began.

“Oh? I’d like to hear the details.”

Wu Yihua’s gaze shifted.

Zhang Mingze looked at him,

“If there were only one Tao Foundation Stage strong practitioner, Yu Gang Leader and I would have already found a way to make a move on Qingyuan Fist Village. After all, who wouldn’t covet such a big piece of fat meat?”

Hearing this, Wu Yihua was startled, “Are you suggesting that Qingyuan Fist Village has more than one Tao Foundation Stage strong practitioner?!”

Zhang Mingze nodded, “This matter is quite secretive; I ask that Lord Wu please keep it confidential.”

Wu Yihua replied solemnly, “Please speak, Master.”
