“The secret manual of the Mount Song Sect?”

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this news. He was even more excited.

He had been thinking that if he could obtain the martial arts of Mount Song Sect, he would be able to improve further.

However, the martial arts of the Mount Song Sect were not something he could obtain just because he wanted to.

However, it was different now. The secret manual of Mount Song Sect had been stolen. This was an opportunity for Zhang Xuan!

However, this thought flashed across his mind and was quickly suppressed by Zhang Xuan.

To be safe, he did not plan to take the risk.

Putting aside the fact that Anyang City was sealed, even if it wasn’t, he might not be able to find the traitor of Mount Song Sect who stole the secret manual.

Even if they met, he might not be able to defeat the other party.

Zhang Xuan circled around Anyang City. When he passed by a dense forest outside the city, a figure suddenly rushed in front of Zhang Xuan and reached out to grab him.

“A third-rate expert!”

Seeing the other party’s speed, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows and a glint flashed across his eyes.

Although Zhang Xuan was shocked by the sudden change, he did not panic. Not only did he not have any intention of dodging, he even took the initiative to welcome it.

“Crack… Ah!”

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists and crippled the person’s hands.

The sound of bones breaking was accompanied by a scream. The man who ambushed Zhang Xuan fell to the ground.

Zhang Xuan looked up. This was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was the kind of person who would disappear in a crowd.

“Sneak attack on me? You’re quite bold!”

Zhang Xuan took a step forward and stepped on the man’s chest, chuckling.

“Hero, please spare me. I fail to recognize a formidable person. Please forgive me this time.”

The man endured the pain in his hands and his begging voice trembled.

He felt even more regretful. Who would have thought that a random person would actually be a second-rate expert?

Although the martial arts level could not be seen, as a third-rate expert, the man could sense that Zhang Xuan was at least a second-rate expert.

Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be able to attack later under his sneak attack and yet cripple his hands.

It was obvious that the difference between him and Zhang Xuan was extraordinary.

Especially him, whose hands were crippled, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Apart from begging for mercy, he had no ability to resist Zhang Xuan.

“Hero, I was chased by Mount Song Sect and finally escaped from the underground river in the city. I had no choice but to find someone to change my identity. I didn’t mean to offend you…”

The terrified man did not dare to hide anything from Zhang Xuan and told him everything.

This person was actually the traitor who stole the secret manual of Mount Song Sect?

Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up. He had already given up on the secret manual. He did not expect it to come knocking on his door!

“Where’s the secret manual?”

Zhang Xuan asked in a low voice.

He couldn’t be bothered to ask about the grudges between the man and Mount Song Sect.

The secret manual of the Mount Song Sect was what he needed the most!

“The secret manual is not with me. As long as you let me go, I’m willing to give it to you.”

The man hurriedly replied.

He had already sensed Zhang Xuan’s killing intent just now, so he took the initiative to expose his identity to fight for a chance to survive.

After all, the Mount Song Sect was one of the largest martial arts sects in the Great Zhou Empire. Sect secret manuals were extremely attractive to anyone.

The man believed that Zhang Xuan would not be an exception. Once Zhang Xuan let down his guard, he would have a chance to escape.

However, the man did not know Zhang Xuan well. Zhang Xuan saw through his thoughts at a glance.

“Hand over the secret manual or die!”

Zhang Xuan sneered at the man. He exerted a little force with his feet, and the sound of bones shattering sounded. The man let out another scream.

Especially when he met Zhang Xuan’s cold gaze, the man’s heart trembled.

Those eyes were too cold and emotionless, giving him the illusion that he was facing a ferocious beast.

“You won’t tell me?”

Zhang Xuan exerted strength again. The man was in complete despair. He could only put away all his thoughts and shout anxiously, “I’ll tell you, don’t attack!”

An hour later, Zhang Xuan received the secret manual that the man had stolen from the Mount Song Sect. Zhang Xuan was very satisfied.

“Hero, I’ve given you the secret manual. Is it…”

The man was so frightened that he wanted to beg for mercy, but he was killed by Zhang Xuan with a punch halfway through his sentence.

The Mount Song Sect was one of the largest martial arts sects in the Great Zhou Empire. How could he leave a hidden danger for himself after taking the secret manual of the Mount Song Sect?

Only the dead could really keep secrets, especially in this world where martial arts were respected. There could not be any mercy!

After dealing with the man’s corpse, Zhang Xuan returned to the convoy as if nothing had happened.

Knowing that the secret manual of Mount Song Sect had been stolen, it was useless for He Lingxue to be anxious. She could only wait.

Fortunately, Anyang City was unsealed a few days later. The Mount Song Sect searched the entire city but could not find the traitor, so they could only give up for the time being.

After the people from Mount Song Sect finished receiving the supplies, Zhang Xuan and the others returned home. They returned much faster and only took five days.

After returning to the escort agency, Zhang Xuan returned to his usual life. He woke up on time every day to feed the horses and clean the courtyard.

However, after the others fell asleep, Zhang Xuan would secretly cultivate the Mount Song Sect’s secret manual.

This martial art was called “Connate Technique”.

As the name suggested, this was a martial art that could be cultivated to the Connate realm.

Connate experts were already considered martial arts experts!

The sect master of the Mount Song Sect was only at the Connate level, and the reason why the Mount Song Sect could become one of the largest martial arts sects in the Great Zhou Empire was because it had a Connate expert presiding over it.

Not only were Connate experts powerful, but their influence and deterrence were also incomparable.

There were only a handful of people in the entire Great Zhou Empire who had broken through to the Connate realm. All of them were sect masters who were famous in the pugilistic world.

Under the night sky, Zhang Xuan quietly left the small courtyard and found a place where no one would come to continue practicing his Connate Technique.

This was already the 10th day since he returned to the escort agency, and also the 10th day since he cultivated the manual.

However, Zhang Xuan had not even comprehended the basics of the Connate Technique these few days.

“It’s still not right!”

He tried to cultivate according to his comprehension, but he realized that it still didn’t work. This made Zhang Xuan very helpless.

“Looks like my aptitude is too poor!”

Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly.

He originally thought that after obtaining the Connate Technique, even if he used up all his points and relied on himself to cultivate, he would at least be able to comprehend a level.

In the end, he could not even start on the basics, let alone think about anything else.

The restrictions of his martial arts talent prevented him from cultivating at all.

However, Zhang Xuan only felt that it was a pity. He was not too disappointed or disappointed.

After all, he still had the system as his trump card. As long as he waited for a year, he could use the points to deduce it.

“Let’s not practice for the time being.”

After several days of trying, Zhang Xuan finally chose to give up temporarily.
