Helian Tiehua paused for a moment and said, "The Southern Fist King has announced to the world, he's seeking a marriage proposal for his granddaughter, allowing anyone to come, everyone is treated equally. Even if Prince Nalan comes himself, if his grandson lacks strength, he simply isn't qualified to discuss this marriage."

Wu Tongfu nodded and said, "The Great General's first stop heading south is this Xihang Shen Family Manor, which certainly shows great respect to the Southern Fist King. I think there won't be any problems with this marriage proposal!"

"The marriage isn't the key, the key lies in whether we can form an alliance with the Southern Fist King!" Helian Tiehua said calmly, "The Bloody Monk has also appeared, the world is simply too chaotic. On our side, we need someone who can hold the ground!"

"Indeed..." Wu Tongfu had just said two words when the vehicles ahead suddenly slowed down and stopped.

"What's going on?" Wu Tongfu immediately turned his head to look, only to see that the two cars in front had already stopped. On the road ahead, two cars were parked side by side, with more than a dozen people standing in front of them, these people had blocked their cars.

Wu Tongfu frowned and said to Helian Tiehua, "Great General, please stay seated, I will go down and have a look."

Helian Tiehua nodded, and Wu Tongfu immediately got off the car, walking straight to the front. Before he reached there, he heard loud voices coming from ahead: "I don't care who you are, this road is blocked by us. If you don't want to die, get out quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The ones speaking were those blocking the road. Wu Tongfu frowned and walked straight over. Their people were negotiating with these folks. Upon seeing Wu Tongfu approaching, the people in front immediately stepped aside, allowing Wu Tongfu to walk over.

"What's going on?" Wu Tongfu asked sternly.

"Martial Patriarch, this group blocked the road, not letting us pass," the person beside him hurriedly replied.

"Is that so?" Wu Tongfu glanced at the few people opposite, and said coldly, "Is this road constructed by you?"

"You talk a lot of nonsense, so what if it wasn't built by us!" The person leading them said angrily, "I won't let you pass, so you'd better behave and scram for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Impolite?" Wu Tongfu laughed coldly and said, "Impolite, what else can you do?"

"You sure have balls!" The leader became furious, pointed at Wu Tongfu, and shouted, "Are you gonna scram or not?"

"You scram if you want, not me!" Wu Tongfu replied.

"You're asking for death!" The leader cursed angrily, lifted his foot, and kicked towards Wu Tongfu.

Wu Tongfu didn't dodge at all, took a step forward, and grabbed the man's ankle. At the same time, he struck down fiercely with his right elbow, hitting the man's knee directly, even breaking the man's leg bone forcefully.

The man did not expect Wu Tongfu to strike so cruelly, with the leg bone breaking, he screamed in pain, wanting to retreat, but his ankle was still held by Wu Tongfu.

Wu Tongfu did not release him, held his ankle, and moved forward again, extending his hand to grab the man's tongue. With a sharp pull, he pulled the man's tongue straight out. Wu Tongfu did not hesitate, grabbed a dagger from the side, and placed it right on his tongue, the cold blade scared the man into screaming intensely, drenched in cold sweat, fearing that Wu Tongfu would cut off the tongue. If it were cut off, his tongue would be useless.

The dozen or so people from behind were stunned, Wu Tongfu acted so fast, and was so cruel they would never have expected it. That leader's strength was considered not weak, yet in Wu Tongfu's hands, was no different from a child, Wu Tongfu was indeed too ruthless.

"Big brother, big brother, please... please don't be impulsive..." A person beside hurriedly walked over, but dared not approach Wu Tongfu too closely, simply waving at Wu Tongfu from the side to show goodwill.

"Impulsive?" Wu Tongfu laughed coldly, "I am not impulsive, the impulsive is your brother here. I haven't even planned to make a move, yet he acted first. I don't have a good temperament, can't stand others baring their fangs and claws at me. Whoever strikes at me must suffer grievous harm!"

As Wu Tongfu spoke, he slowly moved the knife closer to the tongue, the sharp blade stabbing into the man's tongue causing sharp pain, frightening him into continuous screams.

"Big brother, it's... it's our fault, I apologize to you on his behalf." The person next to him hurriedly said, "I see, big brother, you are also a Martial Artist, and coming here to Xihang Shen Family Manor, surely you are here for the Southern Fist King's granddaughter proposal affair. Just so happens, my Master is here also for this matter."

"Your Master?" Wu Tongfu frowned slightly, sternly asked, "Who is your Master?"

This person mentioned his Master, intending to use his Master's name to intimidate Wu Tongfu. So, hearing Wu Tongfu's words, he immediately said loudly, "My Master is Northern Martial Zen!"

"Northern Martial Zen?" Wu Tongfu immediately erupted into laughter and said, "I wondered who it could be, turns out it's Northern Martial Zen's disciple. Dare to block the road in front of the Shen Family Manor, not afraid of angering the Southern Fist King, truly daring and reckless."

This person mentioned Northern Martial Zen, hoping to frighten Wu Tongfu, but unexpectedly, Wu Tongfu first mocked Northern Martial Zen, leaving him a bit hard to take. In his view, his Master Northern Martial Zen had formidable strength with a loud reputation, yet couldn't scare this person in front.

"Master instructed us to seal the road here to prevent some incapable petty individuals from causing trouble at Shen Family Manor." The person whispered, "May I ask this big brother's honorable name?"

Wu Tongfu did not answer him, just sneered, "According to you, are we also incompetent petty figures?"

"Not at all." This person hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "With such strength, Brother, we misjudged you. I sincerely apologize for earlier."

"Hmph, apologize?" Wu Tongfu snorted coldly, "What if I cut out his tongue and then apologize to you? Would you accept that?"

"This..." The person was speechless for a moment, then said, "Brother, we already apologized to you. Although this matter is our fault, you shouldn't keep holding on to it. Even if you have no regard for us, you should at least give some face to my master and let my senior brother go!"

"You mean I should give Northern Martial Zen face?" Wu Tongfu sneered, "Why should I give him face?"

As soon as he said that, the disciples of Northern Martial Zen here all had a drastic change in expression, clearly showing their anger.

"Friend, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately!" This person said coldly, "Don't think you can be arrogant just because my master isn't here. Let me tell you, my master will come over right after dealing with some small matters. If you dare to speak like this in front of my master, then you truly have skills!"

"So, Northern Martial Zen hasn't entered the Shen Family Manor yet?" Wu Tongfu sneered, "Interesting, I really want to meet him and see what he can do to me. However, I don't like waiting. Tell Northern Martial Zen, either come down to meet me, or I'll cripple these disciples of his first!"

Just as Wu Tongfu finished speaking, Helian Tiehua suddenly walked over from behind him. His tall and upright figure made the disciples of Northern Martial Zen here panic-stricken. Without saying anything else, just Helian Tiehua's imposing physique, even if he hadn't practiced any martial arts, was clearly not a weak person.

Seeing the people on the scene, Helian Tiehua slightly frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Northern Martial Zen's people, blocking the road here." Wu Tongfu smiled, "These disciples even tried to use Northern Martial Zen's name to scare me, asking me to wait here for Northern Martial Zen to come over."

"Northern Martial Zen is here too?" Helian Tiehua said solemnly, "Where is he?"

"I don't know either, but these people said Northern Martial Zen went to handle some matters." Wu Tongfu turned his head to look at Northern Martial Zen's disciples, "Speak, where is Northern Martial Zen and what is he doing?"

These people looked at each other, and no one spoke. Wu Tongfu didn't ask further, but directly chopped off that person's tongue with a swift cut.

"Ah..." That person covered his mouth and screamed miserably, but without a tongue, he could only cry out from his throat.

"What are you doing!" Northern Martial Zen's disciples were stunned. They didn't expect Wu Tongfu would cut off that person's tongue without even issuing a threat first.

Wu Tongfu said nothing, stepped forward again, and grabbed another person to pull him back, coldly saying, "I'll ask again, where is Northern Martial Zen? Either speak up or I'll cut your tongue out!"

This person was almost scared to wet himself and immediately said, "Master... Master went up the mountain..."

"Went up the mountain for what?" Wu Tongfu asked in a deep voice.

The person replied tremblingly, "To... to catch a... a person named Ye Qing..."

"Ye Qing!?" Helian Tiehua frowned instantaneously, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He didn't expect to encounter Ye Qing here. Moreover, Northern Martial Zen was actually after him.

Wu Tongfu turned to look at Helian Tiehua, seeing that Helian Tiehua was now interested in this matter.

"Which mountain are they on?" Helian Tiehua asked gravely.

"Th-that way..." The person pointed tremblingly in the direction, which was precisely towards the Shen Family Manor.

Helian Tiehua turned his head to glance, nodded slowly, and said solemnly, "Tongfu, you take everyone to the Shen Family Manor first, I'll go up the mountain to take a look!"

After saying this, Helian Tiehua rushed straight into the nearby forest. His strides were large, and his running speed was fast, disappearing from everyone's sight in no time.

"Yes!" Wu Tongfu nodded, released Northern Martial Zen's disciple, and sneered, "Alright, who else wants to block the way now?"

Northern Martial Zen's disciples immediately stepped aside, very clean and neat, no one dared to block the way in the slightest.
