Tian Boguang has been extremely depressed lately. He wasn’t entirely convinced before, but now he’s absolutely certain.

Nuns are one poison, arsenic is another, and golden thread snakes are yet another.

Of the three great poisons in the world, nuns are the most prominent.

Ever since he provoked that nun from Hengshan, he has been plagued by bad luck. Now he has become a rat in the street, and is constantly being hunted down by people in the martial arts world.

Previously, he was mostly bothered by weirdos who practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. There were also chivalrous young heroes, but most of them were not strong enough.

But things are different now. All sorts of powerful experts have emerged, including some leaders of major sects and renowned figures in the martial arts world.

The reason is quite simple: he has a bounty on his head. His head is now worth at least 100,000 gold coins. In fact, Wan Sanqian has even declared that anyone who takes Tian Boguang’s head can exchange it for 100,000 gold coins at any of Wan Sanqian’s money exchange shops.

In other words, if you’re not interested in divine weapons, you can directly exchange them for money, and he’ll use that money to buy the divine weapons.

This is really dangerous. In the assassin organization, even the head of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm might not be worth 100,000 gold coins. It’s just that the bounty has just been put out and not many people know about it yet, otherwise… Anyway, Tian Boguang’s appearance has changed drastically. He doesn’t even dare to say that his name is Tian Boguang. He is dressed as a monk, which is why he can avoid being hunted down.

“You’ve made me search so hard!”

“Who are you? This humble monk must be careful, I have never seen you before.”

“You must take heed… Good name. Now I need you to do something…” Zhang Weihao’s shadow clone activated his Sharingan and cast a genjutsu on Tian Boguang. There was no way around it; this guy’s skill level was really low. He didn’t know any tricks or fancy moves. He just knew how to use force.

This is so disappointing. How can he possibly step forward and save the day in a critical moment?

…

Why are you following me?

“This road wasn’t built by your Dragon Guard Manor. Everyone walks their own path. What does my walking this path have to do with you, Miss Shangguan?” Jiang Yuyan, who had been following them all along, naturally noticed something amiss very quickly.

Shangguan Haitang is actually a woman. Because men and women are different in many ways, she cannot be disguised by disguise. Jiang Yuyan, who grew up in the Land of Women, naturally knows the differences.

Shangguan Haitang never expected that her disguise was so worthless, and that Jiang Yuyan saw through it at a glance. It was truly a failure. It seems that she really needs to find a way to improve.

Mingyu Gong is very powerful. It is no longer just a simple internal energy cultivation method. It is somewhat similar to Tianmo Ce, which combines many supporting techniques. It includes swordsmanship, palm techniques, special skills, internal energy, and lightness skills. All of them are top-notch divine skills in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world.

Shangguan Haitang’s lightness skill is extremely impressive. Her master, Wuhen Gongzi, was one of the top three masters of lightness skill in the martial arts world. She herself has surpassed her master and is no less skilled than her master in his youth.

However, he still couldn’t shake off Jiang Yuyan. Besides the difference in their skill levels, the fact that their lightness skills were not that different was also a key factor.

Upon noticing that Shangguan Haitang had suddenly stopped, Jiang Yuyan, who already guessed what she was planning, said directly: “Cooperate, otherwise even if you find Tian Boguang, you won’t be able to protect his head. There are too many people eyeing him now. I’m not the first, nor will I be the last. If this drags on, I won’t be able to hold out any longer.”

Having already reached the seventh level of the Mingyu Skill and successfully mastered even the technique of “Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees,” Jiang Yuyan is naturally extremely powerful and is definitely considered one of the best among the younger generation.

But that only applies to the younger generation. If the previous generation of martial arts legends were to actually make a move, even a random Grandmaster of the Innate Realm would be beyond her capabilities, especially those at the level of the Ten Famous Swordsmen and the Five Great Sword Gods.

She would have to stay far away from any of them, and she can’t afford to stage an accident like this.

Shangguan Haitang was naturally aware of this as well, and she knew very well how attractive such divine weapons would be to those swordsmen and knife-wielders. She agreed to cooperate directly, which was better than getting nothing at all.

If we can win over Jiang Yuyan with money or something else, it doesn’t seem like it’s impossible.

After all, Jiang Yuyan herself wasn’t a true swordsman; she didn’t even carry a sword, and she’d never heard of Yaoyue Lianxing practicing sword techniques.

The two women’s cooperation went smoothly, and they quickly found Tian Boguang, who was dressed as a monk. Just as Shangguan Haitang was about to make a move, Jiang Yuyan, who was always shrewd and resourceful, stopped her and said, “Haitang, don’t rush to act. It’s too conspicuous here. Let’s wait until he enters his room at night before we make our move. After killing him and cutting off his dog’s head, we’ll return directly to Hengshan City to exchange for a divine weapon with Zhang Lingyu.”

Shangguan Haitang was no novice in the martial arts world, and instantly understood that Jiang Yuyan’s words made a lot of sense, so she immediately agreed.

With two skilled martial artists following him, Tian Boguang wouldn’t be able to escape, and at the same time, it would prevent others from ambushing him from behind.

Everything proceeded smoothly, and no one expected that the fair-skinned, upright and holy-looking monk in front of them was the infamous flower thief Tian Boguang.

After all, Tian Boguang was originally a bearded man who looked rugged and sunny, which was quite different from his current image. Therefore, many people in the martial arts world still relied on past information to keep watch in brothels and places where beautiful women frequented, waiting for them to come to them. They never thought that Tian Boguang was doing the opposite. This guy must have some tricks up his sleeve to have survived until now.

Seeing that no one else was watching them, they moved directly into the meditation room. Shangguan Haitang and Jiang Yuyan took action and successfully infiltrated the temple meditation room where Tian Boguang was staying.

I have to say, this guy is really something. He actually thought of staying at a temple. No wonder he’s never been caught. It’s a perfect opportunity for them.

At first, everything went smoothly, but an unexpected incident soon occurred. Tian Boguang was pretending to be asleep, not only dodging their attack but also instantly releasing a mysterious red smoke, which Shangguan Haitang and Jiang Yuyan accidentally inhaled.
