Chapter 14 - Chapter Fourteen: Military Warrant for Arrest

The next day, the old man left the cave, while Fu Tianyu began to modify Iron Linzi's appearance. With Iron Linzi's current appearance, it was quite ostentatious. This guy had a full head of braids and was huge, with a face that was completely exposed.

"Brother, you can't stop wearing the headscarf. This is so ugly," Iron Linzi looked at Fu Tianyu with tears in his eyes as he watched him change his hair into a flowing style and tie a grass rope to it. It was almost covering his eyes. Only one-third of his face was exposed, making him very uncomfortable.

Fu Tianyu examined his masterpiece and happily clapped his hands.

"Hey, Senior Brother, Master said that you have to listen to me in the future. Well, let me see, Senior Brother, I've decided. You mustn't shave your beard anymore. As long as there is a big beard on your face, Master won't be able to recognize you. Wow, it's exactly like being an artist."

Iron Linzi looked at him with a sad face. What was this all about? He had thought that when the old master left, he could be free and happy. But he didn't expect this younger brother to be even more troublesome.

"Also, you need to change your walking posture. Now I'll teach you to walk in a straight line. You're such a big guy, walking like a woman is embarrassing. Come on, follow me," Fu Tianyu said suddenly, remembering something. Iron Linzi felt like strangling him. There was such criticism.

In the Leijian Villa, at this time, Du'er and others had moved in. Those who went down to search for the hidden passage had not found any exit yet, making them somewhat impatient. The reinforcements sent by the Liangyu Sect had arrived, but they were of no use.

"General, so many days have passed. It's probably impossible to find those two people?" Feng Kang was also frowning. The situation was surprisingly not going well, and these generals felt very depressed. The hidden river was very long, and they had sent three thousand elite soldiers, but still had no clue.

Du'er looked at the two portraits hanging in the main hall, which were of the old master and Iron Linzi. The key point now was these two people. Unfortunately, they still hadn't found any clues.

"Let the Ministry of Personnel issue a wanted notice for these two people across the country. I don't believe they can escape so quickly."

Originally, they planned to search secretly, but now it seemed that it was impossible.

Feng Kang and Li Ruotang looked at each other and were somewhat worried. If they couldn't find the person this time, the key was not finding the whereabouts of the treasure. Then their guilt would be very heavy.

"There's nothing else to do." Feng Kang sighed.

In the underground hidden river, many soldiers were carrying torches and searching everywhere, centered around the exit of the tunnel. People were stationed on both the upstream and downstream, as if they were going to search every corner of this place. In fact, except for the part downstream that had not found the exit of the hidden river, the upstream had already been found to the end. Unfortunately, there were still no discoveries.

At the section of the river where Fu Tianyu encountered the snake spirit, four spirit creatures were quietly waiting here. They were the spirit creatures of the Burial Valley. For them, it was easy to enter this hidden river.

"The Lord of the Valley, do you mean there was a powerful spirit creature here before?" One of the spirit creatures asked in a low voice, with the sound of the hidden river's current masking their conversation, no one could hear them.

"Correct. That spirit creature should have encountered those two people, but was defeated. There are still remnants of that spirit creature's presence here. It's a pity." The valley lord said. She could detect the powerful presence of the original spirit creature here, not much different from her own. Unfortunately, it died in the hands of two warriors. Now she increasingly believed that the strange treasure emitting the strange phenomenon was to restrain their spirit creatures. Not destroying such a thing would be a disaster for their spirit creatures.

"The Lord of the Valley, we have determined that there are definitely no those two people here. They must have escaped. Should we stay here?" Another spirit creature said respectfully, "The spirit's speed is very fast. Not long after coming down, it had already searched through the underground rivers here and found the exit downstream. Unfortunately, it was sealed off and no one could pass through. Now they also can't figure out how those two managed to leave here."

"Go out. There won't be any gains here. However, Earth Spirit, you stay here and see if the people here can find any clues." The valley lord finished speaking and then floated straight towards the underground passage. Here, there was no value left.

The other two spirit creatures quickly followed, with only the one who was relatively shorter remaining in the original place.

Luo Jian Villa's nearest town was Tang Ye Town. Here, it had been filled to the brim with people who had come to gather for the spectacle. After the anomaly appeared, news of it spread throughout Lanzhou and even the surrounding areas.

The people of Tian Jian Fort had withdrawn here and quietly stayed in the inn that had been reserved for them. They were closely monitoring the military actions of the Luo Jian Villa. After the fall of the Luo Jian Villa, they had obtained the portraits of the two people who had managed to escape, and were arranging people to search for them. Of course, this search was done secretly. Now, not many people knew about this portrait. They didn't want it to become known to the whole world.

"Brother, something's wrong. The military has issued a wanted notice for those two people. It's now known to everyone. What should we do?" Zhang Lan rushed into Yang Zaitian's room and shouted loudly.

"What?" Yang Zaitian grabbed the portrait in Zhang Lan's hand and was momentarily stunned.

"Stupid! What are these military people thinking? Do they think that their local government really can catch these two people? Even if they do catch them, they definitely won't end up in their hands. It's truly stupid." Yang Zaitian angrily tore up the portrait.

This move by the military was far beyond their expectations. Originally, he thought that apart from a few powerful factions knowing the information about these two people, no one else would know. But now, Yang Zaitian even wished to kill the person who issued the order.

Soon, the portraits of the old man and Iron Stiff were all drawn back by all the people with greed who had come. Countless factions were searching for these two people. Many people resembling the old man and Iron Stiff suffered unjust disasters. Countless factions were secretly arranging things, and an invisible tide emerged out of nowhere.

Now even ordinary people know that there are two lucky guys who got that supposedly divine treasure. They walked out with their eyes wide open, wondering if they could meet such two people. The wanted notice stated that anyone who provided information would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. For ordinary people, one or two taels of gold could feed their families well for about ten years. Such a job, who wouldn't want it?

Soon, almost everyone in the entire Liuyue Kingdom saw this portrait. Du'er's plan was considered a success. Unfortunately, since the portrait was released, those two people never appeared.

Iron Fool and Fu Tianyu had arrived at a place hundreds of miles away from Liao Jian Villa. Iron Fool was used to seeing the wanted notices everywhere. Without the shaking legs he had when he first saw them, now he no longer dared to complain about any changes in Fu Tianyu's appearance. If it weren't for changing his clothes, he would probably have been torn apart by knives and swords by now.

Fu Tianyu was wearing the local characteristic clothing, a black suit. He indulged in the pleasure of wearing ancient clothes. If he were to add a sword, he would be a standard wandering hero.

Unfortunately, he didn't know any sword techniques, and the Ghost King didn't rush to teach him the martial arts he mentioned. The reason was that, naturally, Fu Tianyu hadn't found food for him yet.

"This glutton, Fu Tianyu hates the Ghost King to the core. But there's no other way. How could he be so lucky to have not even encountered a little spirit creature? Now Fu Tianyu is different from when he first came. He now is looking forward to having a spirit creature fall into his hands.

Iron Fool's beard had grown, although it was very short, it could still add some embellishment to his face. With his tall build and the way he walked with his head held high and chest out, he had an imposing presence. He was also carrying a big sword on his back. He was definitely a complete villain and could be the main figure for the door god. Standing together with Fu Tianyu, his image was very distinct.

Fu Tianyu originally wanted to follow the old man's advice and keep a low profile, but following such a senior fellow was how could he keep a low profile.

Fortunately, nowadays everywhere are people carrying swords and knives. The two of them wandered around and didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Senior, I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat," Fu Tianyu said, looking around.

Now his pocket contained plenty of silver. Of course, these silver were the result of his and Iron Fool's robbing the rich to help the poor. It was just that robbing the rich was correct, but helping themselves was what they did. They found a landlord who was said to be a three-generation villain and did a heroic act, which could be considered to have eradicated evil and brought peace.

"Oh." When Iron Fool heard about eating, he regained his energy. When everywhere was filled with his portrait and everywhere people were looking for him, this guy except for being a little nervous at the beginning, was now completely carefree. Fu Tianyu couldn't help but admire this guy's thick nerves.

"Glutton." Fu Tianyu disdainfully made a gesture with his middle finger. How could he have ended up with such two gluttons? He clenched his right hand into a fist. Fu Tianyu helplessly headed towards a tavern.

It's necessary to get some food for the Ghost King. Otherwise, when would Fu Tianyu's dream of practicing sword skills come true? For the cold weapons, Fu Tianyu had a unique preference for swords. This was naturally poisoned by the martial arts. Wielding a sword and walking in the mountains and rivers, it could be very elegant.

But for now, it's just a thought. The two of them entered the tavern and very familiarly sat down at an empty table. Most of the people here were like them, traveling on the road. However, these people were looking for people, while they were hiding from people.

Suddenly, Fu Tianyu noticed that the entire tavern had suddenly fallen silent. Everyone was staring at the two of them.

Fu Tianyu's first reaction was, were they recognized?
