Chapter 474: Fuwei Escort Agency Is in Danger
The influence of "Wulin Monthly" at this time is quite astonishing.
Although the Jianghu faction has begun to imitate and create its own Jianghu newspapers and periodicals, the first-mover advantage of "Wulin Monthly" is too great.
In addition, Jia Huan personally presided over it and used the introduction of magical skills as a gimmick. Almost every issue can cause shock in the world, making the influence of "Wulin Monthly" quickly penetrate into the hearts of the people.
If nothing else, many loyal readers firmly believe in some of the things said in the monthly magazine. This is influence.
Therefore, after Jia Huan introduced the "Evil Sword Manual" in the monthly magazine, the name of the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency became loud again.
At the same time, Lin Zhennan, as the chief escort, soon felt the pressure.
First of all, acquaintances from the Fujian Jianghu community came to visit him spontaneously. They all stayed at the inn in Fuzhou City with smiles on their faces. They didn’t know what they were waiting for.
Lin Zhennan used to enjoy making friends in the world, but this time when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
All we can say is that Lin Zhennan is very lucky!
As mentioned before, the south is the home of gentry, landlords, and powerful families. The power of the Jianghu is so suppressed that it is difficult for even Shaolin Wudang to intervene.
Among the provinces south of the Yangtze River, the most famous one is actually the Yandang Sect!
In the story of Swordsman, when Liu Zhengfeng was washing his hands in the golden basin, a strange man who sold chaos appeared, it was He Sanqi, a veteran of the Yandang sect.
On the contrary, in Fujian, there are top forces like Southern Shaolin!
If there is no relationship between Fuwei Escort Agency and Southern Shaolin, outsiders will not believe it.
The same is true for Jiangnan martial arts people who want to find trouble and dare not act rashly for a while.
Lin Zhennan was not a fool. He immediately wrote to his father-in-law, Wang Yuanba, the master of Luoyang Golden Knife Sect, to come quickly for support. After all, Wang Yuanba was a top-notch master in the world.
When Wang Yuanba got the news and rushed over as soon as possible, many experts from the Central Plains arena also rushed over.
The name of Luoyang Golden Knife Sect is only somewhat famous in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is not enough to deter real martial arts masters, at least it cannot suppress their greed.
As a result, Lin Zhennan encountered challenges from heroes in the Central Plains.
Even Wang Yuanba can't stop him, otherwise he will become enemies.
The result of the challenge was unexpected. Lin Zhennan failed, and failed miserably.
His martial arts cultivation is at the peak of the third rate, but it has vaguely touched the threshold of the second rate in the world.
This was provided by using the huge resources of Fuwei Escort Agency.
In addition, Lin Zhennan also received guidance from his grandfather Lin Yuantu, and his martial arts skills were naturally passable. He was much better than Lin Pingzhi who practiced the same martial arts skills.
In the original novel "Swordsman", the reason why Lin Zhennan has no comparison with his own martial arts is mainly because the number of times he takes action is too few. In addition, the residual power left by his grandfather makes him consciously or unconsciously make wrong judgments.
At the moment, he has just taken over Fuwei Escort Agency, so naturally he is not that arrogant yet.
The "Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique", when used in his hands, is about as powerful as an ordinary third-rate sword technique.
It's not that he has to have supporting internal skills and mental skills to assist him. The key is that his speed is not fast enough.
The originally bizarre moves, without enough speed to support them, naturally became mediocre and full of flaws. Lin Zhennan naturally suffered a lot of losses during the competition.
"The Lin family's "Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Repelling Sword Techniques" are nothing more than that!"
The Central Plains master who easily defeated Lin Zhennan sneered with disdain on his face: "It seems that the beggar sometimes makes mistakes. I have to write to him about this matter!"
These words made Lin Zhennan blush with embarrassment, but he didn't know how to refute.
In fact, if there were not Southern Shaolin, famous martial arts masters from Fujian, and the Beggar Clan stationed in Fujian watching the competition, Lin Zhennan would really be in danger.
Despite the disdain expressed by the masters from the Central Plains who had defeated him, he had no doubts about Xia Beggar's vision and had no doubts about the quality of the "Evil Sword Manual".
The reason for his poor performance can only be due to Lin Zhennan's own abilities.
"What should I do?"
Lin Zhennan felt bad since he was defeated during the competition.
He knew that this matter was quite dangerous. Even with the support of his father-in-law, he may not be able to withstand the greed of many heroes.
"Xian son-in-law, is the "Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" passed down from your Lin family's ancestors really just like that? Is there something wrong with it?"
Wang Yuanba was a little dumbfounded. He did not expect such a result.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is of low strength and cannot exert the power of his family's secret knowledge at all!"
Lin Zhennan's face was full of embarrassment, and he finally said helplessly: "During the competition, father-in-law, you also saw that the "Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" used by my son-in-law looked like this!"
"Isn't that very different from the description in the rumors?"
Wang Yuanba frowned and said, "What are you missing from time to time?"
"Indeed not!"
Lin Zhennan said categorically: "It is impossible for my son-in-law to make fun of our ancestor's reputation!"
Wang Yuanba believed this, but he was really unhappy.
People in the world value reputation more than life sometimes.
Not to mention, it still involves my grandfather's reputation, so it's impossible not to take it seriously.
If Lin Zhennan didn't even care about this, then his thoughts were too deep.
Obviously, no matter how you look at it, Lin Zhennan is not such a person!
There is only one answer: Lin Zhennan is right!
But in this case, Wang Yuanba is a little unwilling, and he also has some ideas about the "Seventy-two Ways of Exorcism Sword Technique".
After all, he is a famous master in the martial arts world, and his desire for magical skills is almost innate.
The situation of Luoyang Jindaomen is also very delicate. If there is no powerful master sitting in, the foundation of Jindaomen will not be passed on at all.
Do you really think that Shaolin and Songshan Sect are vegetarians?
At least, Jindaomen does not have enough martial arts background, and there has never been a powerful person like Lin Yuantu, so it can only covet the magical skills of other families.
If it was before, he couldn't speak up because of his face.
But this time, his son-in-law Lin Zhennan took the initiative to ask for help, which gave him the opportunity and interface to take action.
But I didn't expect that the final result would be like this?
"It's not easy!"
Facing the expectant eyes of his son-in-law Lin Zhennan, Wang Yuanba was also quite troubled.
Even if he couldn't get the "Seventy-two Ways of Exorcism Swordsmanship", after all, Fuwei Escort Agency was also a big family and could help the Golden Sword Sect a lot. He didn't want to watch Lin Zhennan get into trouble.
"At the moment, it seems that we can only ask the chivalrous beggar Jia Huan to come out for help!"
Wang Yuanba is worthy of being an old man in the world, and he quickly thought of a solution: "Since the chivalrous beggar swore that the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" is a top-notch swordsmanship, then ask him to come and verify it!"
"Invite the chivalrous beggar to come and verify it?"
Lin Zhennan hesitated and said, "Isn't it a bit too much?"
"It's urgent, how can I care so much?"
Wang Yuanba said unhappily, "What if you meet an unreasonable and domineering Jianghu strongman who forces you to hand over the real "Seventy-two Ways of Exorcism Swordsmanship"? "
