Chapter 16 Reversing 8 Directions
the other side.
After Ghost Hand King left, the crowd did not disperse completely; some of them began to discuss it with great interest.
Discuss why those projectiles were able to hover in the air.
Especially those around Li Muxuan, the children who studied at the same academy as him.
These children are at an age where curiosity and competitiveness are at their peak.
They all shared their guesses.
"The Ghost Hand King's bullets must have been stuck with threads. Those threads were so fine that we couldn't detect them; he used these threads to control the bullets!"
"I see!"
"..."
Li Muxuan listened to the surrounding discussions, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"silk?"
"Hmph."
Others might not notice, but because he frequently came into contact with various talented and extraordinary people through his father, coupled with his exceptional talent, he developed a keen eye.
He sensed a strange force when those bullets turned in the air.
It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating the trajectory of those bullets from afar.
It's indescribable and intangible, but it certainly exists.
Thinking of this, Li Muxuan looked down at his palm.
A bullet was lying there quietly.
He didn't go back with his classmates, but stood there for a while. After the crowd dispersed, he walked to a river bridge not far from where the performance had taken place and sat down on a step.
That person is not simple; he will definitely notice that I took a bullet.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Ghost Hand King finally appeared at the street corner.
The old man was still as slovenly as ever, carrying an old bundle on his back and walking slowly.
Upon seeing Li Muxuan sitting on the steps, he paused, then his eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared into Li Muxuan's eyes.
"Kid, you're really bold."
Li Muxuan stood up and handed over the bullet with both hands.
He pretended to be honest and said:
"I'm sorry, your methods are truly amazing, and I couldn't help but reach out and take it."
"When I actually got it in my hands, I panicked. I had no choice but to wait here until everyone left before returning it to my senior."
"Oh?" Ghost Hand King took the bullet and tossed it in his palm. "So, you were waiting for me here all along?"
He looked Li Muxuan up and down, then glanced at the gray jacket he was wearing, and asked, "Kid, what's your background?"
Li Muxuan also sized up Ghost Hand King.
He wasn't sure whether this person was sent by Zuo Ruotong to spy on him or was simply a street performer.
However, regardless of the type, he had seen many such extraordinary people with his father since childhood, and most of them were unruly.
It's better to be neither humble nor arrogant than to belittle yourself and be looked down upon by them.
"I have no formal school or affiliation; I simply got to know many extraordinary people like you through my father since I was a child."
Although I learned the foundation-building techniques of the Three Ones Sect.
However, he did not formally become an apprentice, nor did he even stay at the Sanyi Gate for a single day.
Of course, this doesn't count as having a portal.
Ghost Hand King was somewhat surprised to hear Li Muxuan's words.
"Someone like me? Do you recognize my methods?"
He paused, then added, "It's hard to say. I've met some senior members of the Jiyun Society before, and they seemed to use similar methods."
Before he could finish speaking, Ghost Hand King suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Ha! You've got some knowledge, even knowing about the Jiyun Society!" He looked down at Li Muxuan, a hint of disdain on his lips: "But..."
"Those little monkeys dare to compare themselves to me?!"
next moment.
"Eh?!"
Li Muxuan felt a surge of energy rushing towards him, enveloping his entire body.
He instinctively held his breath, then felt his body suddenly fly up as if it had lost control, soaring over the railings on both sides of the bridge.
With a "bang".
Li Muxuan fell into the river.
"Wow!!"
"ah--"
Several passersby on the street saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
Just as Li Muxuan was about to drown.
That invisible force reappeared, gripping him tightly, and his body, which had been sinking continuously, suddenly stopped in the water.
Then, a violent feeling of weightlessness, and he was suddenly thrown back onto the shore.
Li Muxuan was now soaked to the bone, his expression still somewhat shaken.
He was now certain that this old man was definitely not someone Zuo Ruotong had hired!
In the two months that have passed, both on and off the mountain, there has never been anyone in the Sanyi Gate who has acted so recklessly!
Not only the Sanyi Sect, but among all the extraordinary people my father has associated with, I have never seen anyone like this!
But then, his eyes lit up again.
What an amazing method!
Ghost Hand King looked down at him and couldn't help but smack his lips.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Old Wang, stop fooling around."
The speaker was a young man in his early twenties who appeared at some point and leaned against a willow tree across the street.
He had a short knife at his waist, a slightly red nose, and a conspicuous red scarf around his neck.
The wild cypress sings its long cry, and the garden is precious.
As the saying goes, there are no bad nicknames, only bad names.
Since his debut, this person has always been a troublemaker, stirring up trouble wherever he goes, which is why he has this nickname.
"Changming Yegan" is a literal translation of "stray dog that likes to bark randomly by the roadside."
Ghost Hand King had no interest in responding to Yuan Jingui's words, but instead pointed at Li Muxuan and said.
"Heh, an interesting lad."
"See that? I tricked him into throwing him into the river, and he wasn't afraid at all. In fact, the light in his eyes shone even brighter."
Yuan Jingui didn't answer, but instead raised his chin towards the mountain.
"Stop teasing that child," he said slowly. "Stay away from all the children from that academy."
"What's wrong?"
Ghost Hand King turned his head, his eyes flashing with a fierce light once again.
"Don't you know where this place isn't far from?" Yuan Jingui grinned and said, "The teacher at that academy used to be a member of the Sanyi Sect. Who knows, the children he teaches might have some connection with the Sanyi Sect."
Yuan Jingui's words sounded like a reminder.
But anyone familiar with his and Ghost Hand King's personalities knows that this guy is stirring up trouble again.
Ghost Hand King was a fearless man who had a long-standing grudge against Zuo Ruotong. If it weren't for something else, he wouldn't have wanted to come to this town at all, as he was already carrying resentment with him.
Now, Yuan Jingui has provoked me again.
Perhaps Ghost Hand King only wanted to tease Li Muxuan.
But now, even if nothing happens, he'll still cause trouble for the Sanyi Sect, even if it's just because he finds Zuo Ruotong disgusting.
Ghost Hand King noticed Yuan Jingui's thoughts.
"Xiaoyuan, if you hadn't told me all this, we would have left in the next few days."
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jingui was not embarrassed at all; instead, he gave a smug, smug smile.
He laughed so hard his whole body swayed.
"Hehehe! How could that be!"
Ghost Hand King, with his back to Yuan Jingui, cursed.
"Now I'm definitely going to stay here a while longer. You're so mean, your baby will definitely be born without an anus."
Yuan Jingui was not angry when he heard this; instead, he burst into laughter.
"You miscalculated, Mr. Wang. My wife has already given birth, and not only that, but it's a really big one!"
"Hahahaha!"
Ghost Hand King was helpless against this stubborn fool and said irritably.
"Oh! Congratulations!"
