Relics (Part 1)
However, just as they walked out of the forest, a sudden gust of wind from the palm came at them. Su Mei hurriedly pushed Wang Xiaohu away with one hand, but she was hit by the wind from the palm and fell to the ground. Wang Xiaohu and Li Yiru were shocked to discover that all the martial artists had surrounded them. The palm strike just now was from these martial artists.?
Everyone shouted," We've finally found it. The demoness who stole the magic bead is really here!"”
"Bold witch, let's see where you can run to.”
"Everyone, capture the demoness!"
"Seniors, please wait a moment. Please listen to our explanation!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said.”
"What explanation?"”
"The witness is here. What else is there to explain?”
Cheng Shan immediately stepped forward and said,"Seniors, the woman I saw snatching the pearl is this girl!" She was the one who knocked me out!"
"If that's the case, what else is there to say?"”
"Arrest this witch!"
"Seniors, I hope you can calm down and listen to our explanation!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said.”
"That's right, why are you adults so unreasonable?!" Li Yiru said.”
At this time, Su Mei struggled to prop herself up and called out,"Xiao Hu, Yi Ru…you guys…don't care about me…hmph! Just let these so-called…righteous people…capture me and bring me back!”
"Miss Su…" Wang Xiaohu said anxiously. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He stood in front of Su Mei to protect her and said to everyone,"This junior is willing to vouch with my character that it is indeed understandable for Miss Su to seize the Demonic Orb!”
"Since you've admitted that the demonic bead was taken by this demoness, why don't you surrender?"”
"Are you guys with her? Why do you keep speaking up for the demoness?"
"I'm just stating the facts. I hope you can understand!" Wang Xiaohu said.”However, how could everyone be willing to listen to his explanation? They were all shouting to capture Su Mei. When Wang Xiaohu saw this, he could only pull out his knife and say,"I won't let you take Miss Su away by force!”
"Arrogant brat!" Are you planning to go against the entire martial arts world?”
"Seniors, isn't chivalry supposed to protect the innocent and the weak?" Wang Xiaohu asked. Miss Su might have done it before, but it was understandable and she already knew her mistake. Little Tiger begs the seniors to be magnanimous and let her go!”
"Hmph, you're so stubborn!”
"Since you insist on helping the Demoness, then don't blame us for taking action!”
Wang Xiaohu also made up his mind. If you seniors must capture Miss Su, you'll have to get past me first! If Little Tiger is defeated, we will listen to you. If Little Tiger is lucky enough to win, I hope that all the seniors can let Miss Su off.”
"This kid sounds so arrogant!"”
"Let us Tang Sect disciples experience your brilliant moves first!”After saying that, two people took the lead to attack.
"Brother Hu, I want to help too!" Li Yiru opened her oil-paper umbrella and said.”
"Yiru!" Wang Xiaohu said. Don't interfere!" After saying that, he raised his saber and faced the two of them.
After exchanging a few moves, Wang Xiaohu used the Cloud Piercing Palm's Cloud Outburst. This move was unleashed with internal energy and was extremely powerful. It actually defeated Tang Chengxian, the Tang Sect's expert, and he fell to the ground. Tang Chengxian was ashamed and shocked. He said,"Humph! Kid, your kung fu isn't bad. I'll let you win by luck this time!”"Good boy, you're good." Tang Qihou, another Tang Sect disciple, said.”He immediately retreated to Tang Chengxian's side and helped him up. The two of them returned to the array together.
Wang Xiaohu exhaled. The others said,"Good boy, do you really intend to oppose all of us and protect this demoness?”
"Even if I have to die, I won't let you hurt Miss Su." Wang Xiaohu said.”
When Li Yiru heard what Wang Xiaohu said, she couldn't help but be stunned." Brother Hu…" Su Mei was extremely grateful.
Another martial artist said,"You're bold, kid!”
"Next, let our Eight Trigrams School come and ask you for advice!”After saying that, the two experts of the Eight Trigrams School brandished their sabers and attacked. Wang Xiaohu also waved his treasured saber and fought with all his might. Although Wang Xiaohu had yet to unleash the full power of the Demon Blade, his blade skills were already quite impressive. Although he was facing a famous master in the martial arts world, he was fearless. Moreover, every move was unleashed to the extreme, breaking the Eight Trigrams School's blade skills. With a sweep of Earth Splitting Strike, the blade force immediately sent two Eight Trigrams School experts flying out of the circle.
The two masters of the Eight Trigrams School, Wang Weiwu and Shang Baochuan, jumped up from the ground and looked at each other. Then, Wang Weiwu was the first to sigh." Sigh, I lost…" Shang Baochuan said,""My skills are inferior to hers. I can only advise you not to lose your reputation for this demon witch!”After saying that, the two of them left together.
Wang Xiaohu's two consecutive victories had really shocked everyone. Su Mei saw that Xiaohu had given up his life for her and could not help but say,"Xiao Hu…why must you go to this extent for me…"
"Heh, this kid is really tenacious!"”
"As expected of the disciple of Divine Eye Sheng Zunwu!”
A martial arts senior stepped forward and said,"Little brother! I am the Sect Leader of Mount Meru's Iron Chain Sect, Cheng Qingyuan! I admire your backbone, but in order to capture this demoness, I still have to learn your tricks. If you can last ten moves against me, I won't make things difficult for you.”
"Senior, please enlighten me."”
Cheng Qingyuan shouted, his body already rising and sweeping over. Wang Xiaohu hurriedly raised his palm and actually neutralized Cheng Qingyuan's attack. Then, Cheng Qingyuan took out an iron chain from his waist and attached it to Wang Xiaohu's face. Wang Xiaohu immediately turned his knife to block in front of him, blocking Cheng Qingyuan's iron chain with a clang. Cheng Qingyuan turned his wrists, and the iron chain changed its moves. The third move was launched, and the iron chain spiraled in the air, aiming for Wang Xiaohu's head. Wang Xiaohu quickly drove his treasured saber and swung it upward. His wrists moved quickly, and the saber's momentum spun rapidly. In the end, he resolved the third move.
Cheng Qingyuan retracted the iron chain and then used all his strength to hit Wang Xiaohu's head again. Wang Xiaohu stabbed the iron chain into the ring and actually pierced the iron chain on the blade. Cheng Qingyuan quickly retracted the iron chain and tightly held onto Wang Xiaohu's blade. The two of them pulled with force. In the end, they used too much force and their weapons flew out of their hands and fell to the ground.
After losing his weapon, Cheng Qingyuan used his palm to attack Wang Xiaohu, and the two of them started a close combat. Cheng Qingyuan's skill was profound, but Wang Xiaohu's Cloud Piercing Palm was incomparably exquisite. In the end, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides offset each other, and in the blink of an eye, they had already fought to the tenth move. Cheng Qingyuan hurriedly used all his strength, intending to defeat Wang Xiaohu in one fell swoop with his deep internal strength. Who knew that at the crucial moment, Wang Xiaohu's will would awaken Hu Sha's power. The tiger head on his arm guard suddenly emitted a red light, causing Wang Xiaohu's arm to be filled with power, and he forcefully collided with Cheng Qingyuan. Even though Cheng Qingyuan was shocked to the point of anger, he only took two steps back. Cheng Qingyuan was forced back ten feet by Wang Xiaohu's Tiger Fury Force before he stopped retreating. Moreover, his arms were still trembling uncontrollably.
"Alright!" Cheng Qingyuan said. As expected, heroes come from young people. You can actually take ten of my moves. I, Cheng Qingyuan, will keep my word and won't make things difficult for you anymore!”
"Thank you, Senior…" Wang Xiaohu said.
When everyone saw that Wang Xiaohu was covered in wounds, they all exclaimed,"Humph, fight until you're covered in blood, and still want to protect this demoness?”
"Sigh, he's already exhausted. Let's take advantage of this time to capture the demoness!”As he spoke, everyone became restless.
"Yiru, Xiaohu, leave quickly…I'm the one who harmed you, please don't bother about me anymore!" Su Mei said. Please…"
"Miss Su, we won't leave you behind. If we run away on our own, how can we be considered good partners?" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Yes, Sister Su!" Li Yiru also said.”
"I…I'm sorry…" Su Mei couldn't help but say sadly.
At this critical moment, Qian Ye Zen Master's voice was heard,""Everyone, stop!"
The crowd stopped in their tracks and turned around,""Zen Master Qian Ye?"
Then, Zen Master Qian Ye and Yu Nansong walked over together. Yu Nansong said,""Luckily…I made it in time!”
"My allies, please stop!" Don't hurt them!"
"Zen Master," they said,"this girl is the one who snatched the pearl!”
"Young Hero Wang, can you please explain what happened?" Zen Master Qianye asked Wang Xiaohu.”
Wang Xiaohu said," Thank you, Zen Master…Seniors, Miss Su Mei was really trying to avenge her parents. That's why she was used by others to snatch the demonic bead." It was understandable that he chose the wrong path because of the hatred of extermination. Now Miss Su knew she was wrong! And now, the demonic weapon had been snatched away by the Demon Race's Banner Bearer. I, Wang Xiaohu, am willing to take on the heavy responsibility of finding the Magic Tool and atone for my sins!”
"Brother Hu…" Li Yiru said.
"Although we've redeemed ourselves with merit, how can we trust you?"”
"Yes, yes! We don't trust them!"
Yu Nansong said," Xiao Hu is the disciple of the famous Divine Eye Demonic Blade Sheng Daxia. I have known him for many years. I know him very well. I, Yu Nansong, am willing to believe in him!”
" Everyone, please listen to me…" Zen Master Qian Ye said." Almsgiver Su went astray because of his hatred and allowed the demonic weapon to be taken by the demons. His crime is unforgivable." However, she knew her mistake in time. As the saying goes, repent and be saved. Since she has the intention to do good, how can we not give her a chance to change? As far as I know, Young Hero Wang is the disciple of the honorable Wu Sheng. He has my disciple Nan Song as a guarantor. I…am willing to believe them!”
"Since…the Zen Master is willing to give him a chance, then why should we object?"”
"Zen Master is perceptive and compassionate. We all admire him!”
"That's right. It's a blessing for the martial arts world that we elected Zen Master Qianye as the alliance leader!”
" Amitabha," Zen Master Qian Ye said with his palms pressed together." That's great, that's great…I once said during the alliance meeting that the purpose of our alliance is to use the righteous path to fight against the demons! If he hurt the innocent at will, wouldn't it be the same as the demonic path?”
Everyone couldn't help but agree in unison,"That's right!”
" I hope that everyone can contribute to finding the demonic weapon as soon as possible," Zen Master Qian Ye said." In case the demons plot to endanger the common people."”
"Good," said the crowd,"the Zen Master is right. Let's return to the Temple of Heaven and continue to discuss the demon plan!”
" Young Hero Wang," Thousand Leaves Zen Master said to Wang Xiaohu," I hope that you will continue to contribute to the righteous path. I also hope that you can find Sect Master Li as soon as possible. The Martial Arts Alliance needs his leadership."”
"Thank you, Zen Master. I'm extremely grateful for your kindness…" Wang Xiaohu said.
Yu Nansong cupped his fists and said,"Little Tiger, please take care!"”
"Thank you for speaking up for me, Big Brother Yu. See you again…" Wang Xiaohu said.
The group of martial artists then escorted Zen Master Qianye out of the place and returned to the Temple of Heaven.?
Only Wang Xiaohu, Li Yiru, and Su Mei were left in front of the forest. Wang Xiaohu took out the medicine he carried with him and gave it to Su Mei. Then, he greeted,"Miss Su, how are your injuries?”
"Little Tiger, it's all my fault!" Su Mei said. You…you…you don't need to do this for me!”
"Sister Su, why do you say that?" Li Yiru asked. You're our partner. How can we abandon you and watch you die?”
"Yiru is right!" Wang Xiaohu said. If we just leave like this, we'll feel guilty for the rest of our lives!”
"I'm sorry…Xiao Hu…Yi Ru…I've hidden so many things from you in the past, but you've sincerely helped me!"”
"Sister Su, don't say that." Li Yiru said.”
"Yes, Miss Su…" Wang Xiaohu replied.
"Xiaohu, why do you trust me so much?" Su Mei suddenly asked.”
"Is there a need to ask?" Wang Xiaohu replied. Because we're good friends. In the future, if you have anything on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. You can tell Yiru or me…We're all happy to help you!”
"Good friend…What is a good friend?" Su Mei said quietly.”
"Good friends…good friends are sincere friends who support each other and share weal and woe…just like us!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Brother Hu is absolutely right!" Li Yiru said.”
"Sincerity…" Su Mei said.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you again?"”
"How could that be? I believe that if we treat you sincerely, how could you have the heart to lie to us again?”
Su Mei immediately said,"Alright, I will never lie to you again."”
"Hehe, that's great." Li Yiru laughed. Then let's continue to look for our father on Mount Shu!”
"Yes, alright. I wonder how Miss Su's injuries are?" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"I've taken the medicine you gave me and I'm much better." How are Xiaohu's injuries?"
"My body is very tough," Wang Xiaohu said."It's just a flesh wound. It's nothing serious." Let's hurry up and head to Mount Shu!”
Thus, the three of them set off once again. With Su Mei leading the way, they headed towards Mount Shu.
In less than two days, they arrived at the boardwalk that led into Shu. Just as they were about to set off on the boardwalk, they suddenly heard someone calling out to them,"Everyone, this path is currently sealed!"
The three of them saw that it was the local deputy. Li Yiru asked,"Why do we have to seal it?"
"A huge centipede monster suddenly appeared near the suspension bridge on the boardwalk! Many travelers were scared away by it, so now everyone took a detour.”
"Oh, really?" Wang Xiaohu asked. If he took a detour, how much time would he need to spend?”
"If we take a detour, we'll need to spend three more moons."”
"Brother Hu, if there's a centipede demon, I'll let you deal with it!" Li Yiru said. I don't want to go through so much trouble and detour!”
"Little girl, don't covet the two or three months of light and shade that you saved. You've lost your life in vain!”
"Please don't worry," Wang Xiaohu said."I think we can more or less handle it!"”
The deputy no longer dissuaded them and opened the checkpoint for them."Alright, alright. Since you say so, please go over! At least I have warned you.”
Wang Xiaohu cupped his fists at the deputy and thanked him. Then, he entered the boardwalk with Li Yiru and Su Mei. Although they had also encountered some centipede demon attacks along the way, they were not as terrifying as the deputy had described. The three of them wondered if the deputy's words were too exaggerated.
After they passed through the winding mountain road, they came to a suspension bridge that connected the cliffs on both sides. They saw a huge monster lying on the suspension bridge. It turned out to be a monster with a human upper body and a centipede lower body. The monster was sleeping soundly.
" Ah, look," Li Yiru said." There's a huge strange centipede sleeping on the suspension bridge."”
"It occupied the entrance and exit of the entire bridge. No wonder all the travelers can't get through!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Little Tiger, what should we do?" Su Mei asked. Do you want to take a detour?"
"Aiyaya, it's too troublesome to take a detour!" Li Yiru said. I'll go over and see if there's a way to communicate with it!”
"It's too dangerous, Yiru!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said. Let's take a detour first!"
Li Yiru thought to herself, Hehe, I have another chance to perform. Let Brother Hu praise me! Let Sister Su take a look at it too." Hence, she ignored Wang Xiaohu's words and quickly ran to the centipede spirit. "Yiru, come back!" Wang Xiaohu exclaimed.”
Li Yiru didn't want to listen." Aiya, what's there to worry about?" she said. Watch me." Then, he said to the centipede demon,"Strange centipede, we want to discuss something with you! We would like to ask you to stand up and let us pass.”
Who knew that the centipede demon was still snoring soundly? Li Yiru shouted,""Hey, don't sleep anymore. Wake up first!”The centipede spirit didn't hear anything, so Li Yiru said impatiently,""Damn it, you're completely ignoring me. How am I supposed to communicate like this? Then I can only knock you awake first!”With that, he picked up the oil-paper umbrella and knocked it on the centipede demon's head.
When Su Mei saw this, she panicked." Yiru, don't…" Unfortunately, it was too late. Li Yiru's umbrella had already hit the centipede spirit's head, and it woke it up.
The centipede spirit suddenly stood up and roared loudly. Li Yiru said, Mr. Centipede, I... I just want to... have a... a small discussion..." But the centipede spirit roared again, as if it was very angry." Oh no, it doesn't seem to be working…" Wang Xiaohu saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately drew his saber and said,""Don't hurt Yiru!" Su Mei also immediately leapt forward, and the three of them began to fight with the centipede spirit.
Although this centipede demon's body was long, it was unusually agile. Moreover, when its tail flipped, it stirred up gusts of wind with endless power. The three of them almost fell into its trap. However, Su Mei immediately chanted a spell, triggering the power of lightning to strike at the centipede spirit, causing it to be restrained. Wang Xiaohu took advantage of the situation to attack the centipede spirit. The force of the blade pressed forward and actually blasted the centipede spirit back. Just as the centipede spirit was about to vent her anger, she suddenly heard someone shout,"Stop! Everyone, stop fighting! Both sides are on the same side!"
When Li Yiru heard this voice, she looked into the distance and saw an old woman dressed in Miao clothing walking over quickly. Li Yiru was delighted when she saw her and said,"Sage…Sage Nun?" Su Mei and Wang Xiaohu were immediately stunned and stopped.
The Sage Nun hurried to the centipede spirit's side and said,"Centipede King, you've worked hard!" It's fine, you can leave first!" The centipede spirit immediately cast a spell and burrowed underground.
" Little Yiru, long time no see," the Sage Nun said to Li Yiru." I brought this centipede king from Miaojiang." It's to prevent outsiders from disturbing your mother Yue Ru!”
" Mother Yue Ru," Li Yiru said." Is she here?"”
"Yes, she's in the hut at the bottom of the cliff!" I moved here from Miao Jiang a few months ago to look for herbs to cure your mother Yue Ru.”
"I'm really sorry. I almost accidentally injured your subordinate just now…" Wang Xiaohu said.
The Sage Nun replied,"It's fine. It's just a small misunderstanding!" The wind is strong here. Please go to the hut under the old cliff first.”
Thus, the three of them followed the Sage Nun down the cliff. After walking for about a mile, they arrived in front of the small wooden house where she lived. The Sage Nun said,""This is the small house that this old woman is currently living in! Come, please come in!"
The three of them followed the Sage Nun into the house. Although the wooden house was small, it was fully furnished. It was as the saying goes," Although a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs."
After everyone entered the house, they greeted each other again. Wang Xiaohu said,"Senior, hello! Yiru often mentioned you to us. She often told us that you are the number one doctor in the world!”
"Hehe, little girl, you like to talk nonsense!" The Sage Nun laughed. The world was so big! I don't dare to take on the title of number one. But Xiao Yiru, why are you here?”
Li Yiru said,"Hehe, because Brother Hu wants to bring me to Mount Shu to find Daddy!"”
"Your father is not in Mount Shu!”
When Li Yiru heard this, she said in surprise,""What? How would the Sage Nun know?"
" No matter how many things Xiaoyao has to take care of, he always comes to visit Yueru on the day of the full moon every month. He also brings the Life-prolonging Elixir refined by the Immortal Sword Sect to her. He never breaks his promise." He knew very well that he had to bring Yue Ru to the bottom of the Tuo River on time to pick the life-prolonging herbs. However, the full moon had passed this month, but he still hadn't come. Therefore, I went to Mount Shu, but he wasn't there.”
"Senior, how…how did this happen?" Wang Xiaohu asked. Did something happen to Brother Xiaoyao that made him temporarily absent?”
The Sage Nun replied," No, no one in Mount Shu knows where he went. It's as if he disappeared into thin air…They are also anxious. They said that the sect leader has never left without saying goodbye!”
" But I didn't attend my birthday this year," Li Yiru said." I didn't attend the martial arts tournament that my grandfather held in Jiangning City. I didn't attend the Demon Slaying Conference that the old monk held in Jing State City. I even missed my promise to give Yue Ru's mother some pills." Strange, what happened to her father?”
"Oh, so Xiaoyao didn't go to the Immortal Spirit Island?" This old woman was wondering if he went to Immortal Spirit Island to see Xiao Yiru and forgot the time.”
"Yes…Senior…Yiru is extremely anxious about this!" Wang Xiaohu said. That's why we came all the way to Mount Shu to find Brother Xiaoyao.”
The Sage Nun said," Yes, it's indeed very strange. He's a very responsible person!" If Yue Ruo waited too long and did not receive his herbs, the situation might change at any time. I had no choice but to ask King Centipede to carry Yueru all the way from Miaojiang to Tuo River Valley to look for the herbs!”
"Holy Nun, where did Father go?" Li Yiru asked. Could something have happened?"
Sage Nun said," Xiao Yiru, your father is now the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sword Sect. His unique skills are so powerful that only the Sword Saint and the old drunkard can compare to him. Maybe he's trapped by something?" But there shouldn't be any danger.”
