The peak of martial arts

Chapter 437 Out of the City

Mr. He took the young man out of the wall without guards to stop him.

Looking at the towering wall behind him, the young man felt inexplicably relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose again, and two small dimples suddenly appeared on his cheeks.

Mr. He looked at the young man who looked like this, but he was distracted. Then he looked gloomy and silently led the way ahead.

The outer city and the inner city are definitely two different scenes.

All the inner city are official members of the Haorichi Palace. They are strictly under strict jurisdiction and orderly. Although there are many people, they are never chaotic.

But the outer city is like a lively market, full of noisy pedestrians, who are quarreling, selling, or shouting to make way.

Outside the tower that He Lao and the young man walked out, there is a wide and straight street. The street is full of different buildings, high and short, and there are countless vendors selling some odds and ends on both sides of the street.

When the young man saw this situation, he was particularly happy and said in his heart.

"Ten years... Ten years, I, Li Du, finally came back!"

This young man is the martial artist who entered the top five in this competition, Li Du!

The reason why Li Du did not join any mountain or valley is that he came from the outer city.

The forces in the outer city are complex. Generally, there are few people who can directly enter the inner city. Even if there are, they will not be valued by the inner city.

Li Du insisted on entering the inner city despite the dissuasion of Mr. He and others, so he hurt the hearts of several old people. Although he was willing to make up for it later, he could not go out at will in the inner city. If Mr. He had not volunteered to become the guard commander of the inner and outer walls, it would be difficult for him to meet those relatives.

Li Du knew that Mr. He had done a lot for himself. With Mr. He's strength, he could have become a guest of major forces, but he would rather hold it in an inconspicuous small building outside Dayang City than appear in front of people, but later he was willing to be the guard for him...

When Li Du thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

He has no father or mother since he was a child. It was He Lao and several other old people who raised him and taught him to practice. He was both nurturing and nurturing.

If it is something else, he will naturally not go against the wishes of several old people, but joining the Haori Palace has always been his greatest wish, so he will ignore everyone's dissuasion at that time.

And now, half of his goal has been achieved!

A trace of light flashed in Li Du's eyes, and the smile at the corners of his mouth suddenly became fierce.

Mr. He took Li Du to make turns and turns, and finally entered an alley. There was a small one-person-high door in the alley. Mr. He stopped in front of this door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

After a long time, the door opened with a "squeak", and Mr. He struggled to get in through the crack of the door.

After Li Du flashed into the door, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

"Grandpa Liu."

Li Du shouted happily.

It was a white-haired old man, bent down and his face was as folded like orange peel. Hearing the familiar cry, he looked up doubtfully, and then a pair of small eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe it, and rubbed it hard.

"Grandpa Liu, it's me, Xiao Li, I'm back."

Li Du said again.

Only then did Mr. Liu dare to be sure, and then he touched Li Du's arm with joy and kept saying.

"It's true that the little plum is back... I'm so dizzy that I thought I read it wrong! Haha... Good back, good back! Several old guys know it, and they must be very happy!"

Grandpa Liu's face was kind, but there were tears in his eyes.

Li Du's heart is even more sour. He hasn't returned for ten years, but these people who regard themselves as relatives are much older.

Mr. He's own strength is not weak. Although he has not reached the strength of the earth, his life expectancy is much longer than that of ordinary people. Now he seems to be an old man in his sixties, but in fact he has lived for more than 200 years.

And this Grandpa Liu used to be a well-known master, but later he suffered an accident. His whole body was useless and became no different from ordinary people.

But this Grandpa Liu is the most kind old man in Li Du's impression.

Mr. Liu kept asking how Li Du had been doing over the years. Li Du answered obediently one by one, and occasionally picked out a few interesting things to tell Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu smiled and his hands kept trembling, but because he was old, he couldn't stop anyway.

Subsequently, Mr. He and Mr. Liu took Li Du into the house in the small courtyard.

This should be one of the small courtyards in the backyard of a tall courtyard. The yard is only dozens of square meters wide, with two high walls, and the other two directions are several gray and white bungalows.

Although it is simple, it is much better than the place where Li Du lived when he was young.

Li Du was a little relieved, but his heart was still very gloomy.

Although after he joined the inner city, he was much better in food, clothing and other treatments, the resources he had in his hands were very limited, and in the first period, he gave everything he had gained to these old people.

This is also the reason why he practiced slowly at the beginning.

Generally, as long as the martial artists who enter the inner city can contribute a small amount every year, they can have some items to help them practice, such as the portable array to speed up the absorption of vitality, such as entering the fantasy world of chaotic aura, and taking some elixir to improve their physique, etc.

After Li Du joined the inner city, he worked very hard, even desperately, whether he practiced or carried out tasks, and gained a lot of contributions.

And the contribution value is common in both the inner and outer cities, so Li Du only left a small part, and the rest was given to Mr. He and others.

This also caused Li Du to practice so slowly for a long time that he led his predecessors to gradually be disappointed with him, and then directly ignored him.

Li Du knew that it was not a way to go on like this. At that time, the inner city issued a very dangerous task, requiring a large number of warriors to go together. At that time, the required strength was not the minimum limit. People who thought a little understood that the low-strength warrior recruited for this task were actually cannon fodder.

Li Du thought for a long time and finally decided to go.

And this is ten years.

During the past ten years, the warriors who went with him, whether their strength was lower or higher than him, were all killed, but he was the only one who came back.

Although it took Li Du ten years to complete this task, he finally encountered countless dangers and difficulties during the period. If it were others, I'm afraid he would not be able to stick to it at all.

But Li Du is not an ordinary person. He is from a humble background. Maybe his talent and strength are not as good as others, but he has a stronger heart than others.

After Li Du returned, he handed over the task, which immediately attracted the attention of the senior management. There were also small forces who wanted to attract him, but they were rejected by him without exception.

He knew that his roots were there. If he entered those small forces, he would definitely be forced to do something against his heart, which he would never want to do.
