Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 171 - 123: Hard Skills and Rakshasa!_2
...
In a mountain forest outside Jiannan Prefecture City.
Monk Fa Jie flew forward, his robes fluttering, the portion of beard on his chin swaying in the wind.
With the Zen Stick in hand, he struck towards Li Tunshan.
The Zen Stick carried the force of a mountain collapse, pulling through the air with a roaring sound.
It seemed as though the surrounding air was being stirred by the Zen Stick, turning into a torrent.
At last, the Zen Stick solidly hit Li Tunshan's Golden Bell Shield, making a thunderous boom.
The Qi force scattered, causing the surrounding branches to sway.
Li Tunshan's Golden Bell Shield instantly showed a small crack like a spider's web.
"Still, Senior Brother is formidable!"
Li Tunshan exclaimed with admiration, feeling a rush of excitement rising in his heart.
Monk Fa Jie glanced at Li Tunshan, appearing somewhat hesitant to speak, but eventually said:
"Junior Brother, the elixir you gave me was refined two days ago, the cultivation resources in Jiannan Prefecture are quite lacking…"
Li Tunshan was taken aback, put away the Golden Bell Shield, and thought this was indeed the case.
Originally, the Thunderbolt Army's herbs were only supplied to him and his soldiers.
After the arrival of Monk Fa Jie, who had opened sixteen meridians, the herbs indeed seemed insufficient.
Furthermore, their Thunderbolt Army's alchemists were also overwhelmed.
Li Tunshan said, "Besides our Thunderbolt Army holding herbs fields in Jiannan Prefecture, the Zaiyang Sect and White Lotus Sect also hold herb fields."
"Sect Leader Gui Risheng of Zaiyang Sect is a remnant of 'Evil Eunuch Chaos,' he learned Martial Arts from the Imperial Palace, and his body technique is quite strange. I can defeat him but cannot hold him, it's rather troublesome."
After Su Que and Li Xuanji seized Hongyuan Mountain of Zaiyang Sect.
Li Xuanji ordered to seal all information of Hongyuan Mountain.
All Zaiyang Sect believers were forbidden from leaving, and all birds flying to and fro were shot down with arrows.
Moreover, the Li Xuanji family left behind a very potent hallucinogenic medicinal formula.
After taking it, those interrogated became relaxed and able to divulge information.
Su Que used this formula when interrogating Tang Sect assassins as well.
Though this formula was useless against the three Heaven-Breaking Army Meridian Opening Realm Tang Sect assassins, it was quite effective against martial artists below the Fourth Blood.
Li Xuanji then let all Zaiyang Sect believers take the hallucinogenic medicine, thus exposing two spies from the Thunderbolt Army and one from the White Lotus Sect.
Li Xuanji forced these three spies to send false messages to the Thunderbolt Army and White Lotus Sect, thus blocking information.
As a result, to this day, neither the White Lotus Sect nor the Thunderbolt Army know that Zaiyang Sect has come under the command of the Heaven-Breaking Army.
"What about the White Lotus Sect in Jiannan Prefecture?"
Monk Fa Jie also stopped and placed the Zen Stick by his side, asking.
Li Tunshan said, "According to intelligence, the Jiannan Branch Leader of the White Lotus Sect and his deputy, one has opened thirteen meridians, the other eight meridians…"
Suddenly, he brightened his gaze, looking at Monk Fa Jie:
"Senior Brother, if the two of us join forces, even if they use 'Divine Strike' technique, I'm afraid they are no match for us!"
"We can seize their herb fields and capture their alchemists!"
"Then we can have more herbs and more alchemists."
...
Previously, Li Xuanji had made a pact with Su Que, that should the Heaven-Breaking Army require Su Que's assistance, they would leave a simple unrecognizable mark on a spot on Jiannan Prefecture's East City Wall.
Su Que would check it every day after punching the clock.
That day, after punching the clock, he'd had breakfast and headed toward the East City Wall.
Upon arrival, he saw the mark agreed upon by Li Xuanji and him on the wall.
Thus, Su Que left the city, changed his attire, and headed toward Celestial Water City.
Seeing that the guards in Celestial Water City were now replaced by the Thunderbolt Army, he turned toward Guluo Town.
Since Li Tunshan was always looking for the location of Heaven-Breaking Army Commander Li Xuanji.
Li Xuanji had to often relocate his headquarters.
One day during medicine collection, Elder Qingxuan informed Su Que of this situation.
And made an agreement with Su Que that if he couldn't find them in a city, he should go to Guluo Town's Yao Ji Wine Shop's shopkeeper, say the secret code, and then inquire their whereabouts.
Su Que arrived at Yao Ji Wine Shop and learned from the shopkeeper that Li Xuanji and others were currently in Baisha Town.
He then headed toward Baisha Town.
After showing the token to the guards at the town entrance, the guards reported through layers. After the time of one cup of tea, a soldier appeared to lead Su Que to Li Xuanji's location.
Li Xuanji was hiding in a dark place and only emerged upon confirming Su Que's arrival.
To avoid being killed by Li Tunshan, he had to act cautiously.
"Mr.!" He enthusiastically greeted as he approached Su Que. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Upon reaching, he bowed to Su Que.
Su Que nodded and returned the greeting, maintaining his aloof and transcendent master demeanor.
"I wonder what Mr. Li seeks me for?" Su Que said softly.
Li Xuanji said, "I wish to ask Mr. to help me kill Monk Fa Jie."
Monk Fa Jie, Su Que had heard some Martial Artists talk about while having breakfast.
Since Monk Fa Jie became the Abbot of Minsheng Temple, to attract Jiannan Prefecture believers to worship Buddha, thus contributing incense money.
He proclaimed his identity, claiming to be a High Monk from Central Plains Great Buddha Temple.
Although Jiannan Prefecture is far from the Central Plains, the Great Buddha Temple and True Profound Sect are renowned far and wide.
Many of Jiannan Prefecture's better-off folks had heard the prestigious names of the temple and the sect.
This identity attracted many believers from Jiannan Prefecture's counties and towns to come.
