Chapter 37 Unlocking New Things
Wu Qingcang and Yue Feng had barely sat down in the study when Wu Shuangxue burst in.
"There are some gangsters causing trouble in the east of the city. I'm going to take a look. If you want tea, pour it yourselves."
After speaking, Wu Shuangxue left without waiting for Wu Qingcang's reply. Wu Qingcang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My granddaughter, sigh! Brother Yue, could you please go and take a look? Recently, the Eastern Depot has been making frequent moves in Hengyang City, and I'm worried that this matter is related to them."
Yue Feng himself was also somewhat curious about Wu Shuangxue, so he readily agreed. Wu Qingcang took an ancient sword from the wall and handed it to Yue Feng, saying, "It's nothing special, just make do with it." Yue Feng didn't stand on ceremony, thanked him, accepted it, and then went out.
Upon reaching the east of the city, Yue Feng found no trace of Wu Shuangxue. He inquired with several passersby, and someone said they had seen a woman who looked similar heading towards Qunyu Courtyard. After ascertaining the location of Qunyu Courtyard, Yue Feng went there, only to find it peaceful and quiet, showing no signs of disturbance.
He frowned for a moment, then relaxed. Upon entering the brothel, the madam, seeing his youthful charm, immediately greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"Oh my, young sir, what wind blew such a lovely lady like you here? Is this your first time visiting our Qunyu Courtyard? Don't worry, we have all kinds of girls here, take your pick! Would you like to play around outside first, or go straight inside?"
Yue Feng was a regular at brothels, and upon hearing this, he said, "Let's go inside. Call your best girls over; I'm tired and want to soak my feet."
The madam greeted the pimp twice, then personally led Yue Feng to the door of a private room on the second floor. Pushing open the door, she said, "This is our best room. Please go in and rest; the girl will be here shortly."
Yue Feng grabbed the madam by the neck, dragged her into the room, closed the door, and gave her a Golden Wind Jade Dew Finger strike. The madam had no martial arts skills, and just one finger strike brought her to the brink of ecstasy. She answered whatever Yue Feng asked.
Do you know Wu Shuangxue from the Six Doors?
"I...I know her. Someone came over this morning and showed me her portrait, asking me to find a way to lure her over."
Where is she?
"She was bewitched and taken away by the second young master of the Xu family and several men dressed in purple."
Where did they go?
"The Xu family in the north of the city..."
Enraged, Yue Feng killed the madam with a single blow, then flew out the window and headed north of the city.

He opened the control panel as he traveled. Because of his presence, the situation in Hengyang City had changed dramatically compared to the original story. The martial arts of the Eastern Depot were clearly a level above those of the martial arts world; he had to improve himself as much as possible.

Yue Feng took stock of the martial arts he knew and couldn't help but sigh. He felt that no matter how much skill points he added, it was difficult to achieve a qualitative change. It was time to learn some new martial arts, but where could he find them?
Yue Feng forced himself to calm his mind and stop thinking about those irrelevant things. After a moment's thought, he chose to upgrade the Sky-Piercing Demon Sword, his only dual-fusion martial art.

Congratulations on mastering the new ultimate skill: Sword Intent - Sky-Piercing Demonic Slash!
Yue Feng was taken aback, wondering what kind of trouble the system was causing this time. He had only upgraded the Changkong Dangmo Sword to its peak, so how did it unlock something new? Was this the privilege of a second-level fusion martial art? What about third-level or fourth-level fusions?
He didn't have time to test out his new tricks and rushed to the north of the city. Upon arriving, he saw a vast expanse of rows of mansions—his destination, the Xu residence. He sneaked inside and interrogated seven servants before finally learning the exact location of the second young master of the Xu family.
In a quiet courtyard in the back garden of the Xu family mansion, Xu Er and several men in purple robes sat drinking. Xu Er took a sip of wine, glanced at the tightly closed door, rubbed his crotch, and said to one of the men in purple robes opposite him:
"Brother Fang, we don't know when Lord Cao will arrive. Why don't we go in and have some fun first? That little bitch's poisoning has been delayed for too long, and it could cause someone's death."
The man surnamed Fang closed his eyes and said calmly, "Young Master Cao likes virgins. Even if Wu Shuangxue is dead, Young Master Cao will be the first to have her."
Xu Er's eyes darted around, and he said, "How about this, I'll find five... ten more beauties for Master Cao from Hengyang City, and Wu Shuangxue will be mine. Is that alright?"
The man surnamed Fang suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the courtyard gate: "Who goes there!"
With a loud bang, the courtyard gate was smashed open, and Yue Feng drew his sword and rushed in, declaring coldly, "Kill your men!"
Xu Er, who had witnessed the whole thing, shouted, "It's him! He's the one who beat me up in the street! If you kill him, I'll give each of you a hundred taels of silver!"
The man surnamed Fang chuckled, "Killing people can make money. This world is getting better and better. Brothers, let's take him down!" Several men in purple quickly surrounded him, their movements as swift as those of top-tier martial artists.
Yue Feng stood motionless, as still as a deep pool and a towering mountain, his longsword dancing in a mysterious arc in his hand. The purple-clad men were greatly shaken, and in a daze, they seemed to see a towering mountain rising from the ground before them, the ancient plank road on its waist deserted, yet radiating the righteous energy of heaven and earth that suppressed evil spirits.
This miraculous image appeared for only a moment, then several blossoms of blood simultaneously bloomed from the throats of the purple-clad men. Yue Feng flicked the blood off his sword, passed through the encirclement, and watched as the bodies of the purple-clad men slowly fell to the ground.

"Sword intent?! Who are you?"
The only response to the man surnamed Fang was a flash of sword light that sliced across his neck, severing half of it. Fang's head slumped back, and the weight of his head caused his body to flip over.

The first time Yue Feng unleashed his ultimate sword technique, the mental strain on him was unexpectedly great. After a short while, Xu Er was no longer in the courtyard.
Enraged, he rushed into the room and saw Wu Shuangxue bound hand and foot to a large bed, her body writhing in agony. Xu Er was nowhere to be seen; Yue Feng searched the room but couldn't find him, assuming he had escaped through some hidden door.
Seeing that Wu Shuangxue's face was as red as if it were about to bleed, Yue Feng remembered what Xu Er had said in the courtyard earlier, so he quickly jumped to the bedside and picked up Wu Shuangxue.
Just as he was about to leave with Wu Shuangxue, he heard a series of cracking sounds, and the entire bed, along with a large section of the surrounding floor, suddenly collapsed. Yue Feng, who was holding someone in his arms, tried his best to kick against the wall, but he couldn't stop the downward momentum.
