Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 16 Robustness

"Senior Brother, you're wise!"

Wei Wude grinned, "I have some information on that person's movements. Following the clues, it's not hard to find them. The difficulty lies in how to capture that evil figure with the least disturbance, the fastest speed, and the most certainty. After much consideration, it's best to ask Senior Brother and Master to lend a hand."

Wei Wude's father, elder brother, and second brother were all old school martial artists, once having some fame in Guangling City, each with martial skills. Perhaps not as good as Cheng Fengxiao, but they were certainly better than Yan Chuan from over ten days ago.

The four from the Wei family.

Plus Cheng Fengxiao and Yan Chuan as master and disciple.

Six people together might even be able to quickly take down someone like Tu Tiannan and Zhong Le, both part of the 'Guangling Ten Masters.' As long as the villain's strength hasn't exceeded too much, they wouldn't escape easily.

But there are also risks—

The one who escaped from Guangling Academy and remained hidden in Guangling City for many days without being noticed is certainly not a good person.

Perhaps their strength surpasses that of the 'Guangling Ten Masters.'

"Master is detached from the world, and I don't wish to take risks either. Junior Brother, it's better for you to seek help from someone else."

Yan Chuan shook his head, directly refusing.

"Senior Brother—" Wei Wude was stunned, clearly taken aback. He thought he understood this senior brother, recognizing his unwillingness to be mediocre. That's why he reached out, hoping to use Yan Chuan to push Cheng Fengxiao into action. The main target was actually Cheng Fengxiao, the true expert.

But Yan Chuan actually refused?

How is that possible?

Wei Wude, of course, didn't know that in the past, even if he had come over ten days ago, with just a few words of persuasion, Yan Chuan might have agreed, willing to take a risky chance.

But now, with 'Purple Mist Palace,' Yan Chuan could sit at Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall and progress aggressively, lacking nothing when it came to divine skills or divine weapons. Only a fool would risk life and limb with Wei Wude for some elusive divine skill or secret medicine.

There's no need!

"I just want to practice martial arts."

"I just want to teach."

Yan Chuan was clear-headed, telling Wei Wude, "My master and I certainly won't go, so don't worry about it. However, in a few days, I can organize a gathering for you, bringing together the senior and junior brothers who once trained at Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall. Everyone can exchange ideas, spar, and catch up. I won't meddle in your affairs, but you can pick people from there. It's better than finding some dubious people from outside."

"That's the best we can do!"

Seeing Yan Chuan's firm stance and even offering an alternative plan, Wei Wude knew it was a dead end, opting for another approach to select others, "Then please, Senior Brother, organize this gathering as soon as possible since timing is crucial."

"I'll try my best, tentatively planning for July 21st. It takes time to notify them, and if they want to come, they need to coordinate in advance; three to five days are usually needed."

Yan Chuan set a date.

"In five days—"

"Alright!"

Wei Wude agreed, cupped his fists toward Yan Chuan, and said, "Regarding the news about the villain, I hope Senior Brother keeps it confidential for your junior."

"Rest assured."

"I'll keep it sealed."

Yan Chuan agreed.

Wei Wude trusted Yan Chuan and Cheng Fengxiao's character as he dared to come to them. After mentioning it and getting a promise, he left feeling assured. He couldn't hang onto just one option. Besides Yan Chuan and Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, he continued planning more to capture that villain.

Before leaving—

Wei Wude also left detailed information about the villain with Yan Chuan as a precaution, "That person specifically targets martial artists who have achieved mastery, Senior Brother, please be careful."

"Hold on."

"Don't rush off yet."

"Perform a set of Tiger Form Boxing, let me see if as an arrest officer, your martial arts haven't slacked off."

Yan Chuan stopped Wei Wude to "check his homework."

Wei Wude: "..."

...

After advising Wei Wude, gaining some skill level and experience, Yan Chuan let him go and then reviewed the documents Wei Wude left behind—

"Guangling Academy, Iron Palm Alliance Hierarch, 'Six Sand Palm' Du Hanfeng."

The opening line was a surprise: "It's actually him!"

The 'Iron Palm Alliance' and Mei Suping's 'Seven Star Boxing Club' are both clubs formed by disciples from Guangling Academy.

'Seven Star Boxing Club' mainly practices 'Fu Fist.'

While the 'Iron Palm Alliance' gathers all the top disciples practicing 'Six Sand Palm.'

What is Six Sand Palm?

It refers to the collective name for 'Iron Sand Palm,' 'Cotton Sand Palm,' 'Vermilion Palm,' 'Copper Sand Palm,' 'Golden Sand Palm,' and 'Poison Sand Palm' skills.

Iron Palm Alliance Hierarch Du Hanfeng, known as 'Six Sand Palm,' is proficient in all six hand techniques, leading in Guangling.

Relying on this set of hand techniques, Du Hanfeng, alongside prominent figures from Guangling Academy like Tu Tiannan and Zhong Le, is known as one of the 'Guangling Ten Outstanding,' young with limitless potential.

"What a pity!"

"Such a promising talent, yet lost his mind due to madness and went astray."

Yan Chuan sighed.

Like Cheng Fengxiao, he never envied others, only hoping for the path of martial arts to have more masters and for the younger generations to keep rising and flying higher.

Du Hanfeng!

Indeed, a pity!

Meanwhile, such an individual, once mad, once crazy, with his accomplishment in 'Six Sand Palm,' the harm caused could far exceed idle vagabonds.

Yan Chuan continued reading and was again surprised—

"Lost his mind."

"Ensnared his senses."

"Only by consuming the blood of martial artists who have achieved mastery can he suppress the heart demon and survive in this world."

He found the previous news he was reading from the "Guangling Newspaper"—

[Recently, six consecutive deaths have been discovered in Guangling City. The deceased were completely drained of their blood, leaving their bodies shriveled, yet with no obvious injuries on the surface. It's understood that five of the deceased were well-known martial masters in Guangling City...]

"So that's it!"

Yan Chuan finally made the connection.

It turns out the person causing these bizarre death events was Du Hanfeng.

The 'Guangling Newspaper' was a joint publication by the Guangling County Governor's Mansion and Guangling Academy. Its vague reporting was clearly to preserve the reputation of 'Guangling Academy,' which is why the truth of these death cases wasn't made public, only subtly reminding the martial masters in Guangling City to stay safe.

"Specifically targeting martial masters."

"Could this person come here?"

A sudden chill ran down Yan Chuan's spine, feeling an ominous premonition.

First, he saw the "Guangling Newspaper," then Wei Wude also brought up this matter. Such coincidences seemed like an omen.

"Guangling Ten Outstanding!"

"Demonic Evil Man!"

Yan Chuan chuckled bitterly, "I hope not!"

Such a figure, perhaps in two or three months, he might have hope of contending with.

As for now?

Preferably not!

...

The 'Du Hanfeng incident' was just a minor interlude. Yan Chuan felt a sense of crisis, but it was just natural wariness, rationally understanding that in such a big Guangling City, with so many martial masters, Du Hanfeng had a very small chance of targeting Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall.

Moreover, even if he came, with Cheng Fengxiao in the hall, the man probably couldn't stir up much trouble.

"No need to worry unnecessarily."

Yan Chuan adjusted his mindset, maintaining his own rhythm—

Practicing martial arts and forms.

Teaching disciples.

Reading books and newspapers.

Combining these efforts solely to enhance his strength.

July 12, Yan Chuan began practicing 'Iron Wire Fist.'

July 15, Wei Wude visited mentioning the 'Du Hanfeng incident.'

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

On July 17, after nearly seven days, the 'inspiration' for Task Two: Tiger Crane Double Forms finally accumulated to 100.
