Besides, Ren Hui's parents died tragically and her younger brother's whereabouts were unknown. Her heart had suffered a great blow. The Sect Master, Nun Qu Xin, decided to take Ren Hui and her disciples, Xue 'er and Ye Lian, to leave Ambitious Mountain Villa in advance and return to Emei.
Along the way, Priestess Qu Xin repeatedly analyzed the contents of Ren Xiaotian's messenger pigeon.
"Ren Xiaotian told my daughter not to return to the villa early. He wanted his daughter to go back to the villa with everyone?”
He seemed to have sensed something and was afraid that his daughter would be in danger if she acted alone or returned to the villa early. The aura that Ren Xiaotian could sense should be around him.
Then who was he? Was it really done by the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, Abbot Gan Quan? Then why was he doing this? Money, no!
For the position of the alliance leader? That's right! It must be for the position of the alliance leader! The league election was imminent, and if Ren Xiaotian was eliminated, he would have a chance to obtain the league position.
However, since he had murdered Alliance Master Ren, it was obvious that he would not show his face. How could he obtain the position of Alliance Master?
It wasn't him. It definitely wasn't him. The murderer was someone else. Who was this person?
"Ren Hui, come over and talk to Master!”
Nun Qu Xin shouted at Ren Hui.
Ren Hui came to the nun's side and asked,"
"Master, did you discover something?”
Nun Qu Xin said,
"I just wonder why your father sent you a pigeon to tell you not to return to the villa alone. It seems that he has already sensed something. I've analyzed it carefully. This matter was definitely not done by your uncle, Hall Master Gan Quan!”
Ren Hui nodded and said,
"I think so too, but who could it be? Who was that white-bearded old man? Who invited him?"
"Disciple, I think it's very complicated. I can't figure it out in a short time. However, no matter how cunning a fox was, it would still reveal its tail. There will always be a way to find out. Master will always be by your side. Master will fully support you. Be happy, don't be overwhelmed by sadness. We need to use it as a motivation. Cheer up, we have too much to do!”
Nun Qu Xin comforted her beloved disciple kindly.
In less than a day, the master and disciple arrived at a large town in South Yue and stayed in an inn called " Old Firm ".
Nun Qu Xin and her disciples were sitting in the dining room eating when Ren Hui suddenly tugged at her master's clothes, pouted at the stairs, and lowered her head.
Priestess Qu Xin looked at the staircase and saw that the three men had already gone up the stairs to the second floor.
Ren Hui whispered in her teacher's ear,"
"Those three men are the subordinates of Gai Ba, the Hall Master of Great Heroes, who went missing in Ambition Villa. They are called Chen Jiu, Liao Hui, and Wang Long!”
"Good! Keep an eye on them!"
Priestess Qu Xin then gave out such instructions.
Xue 'er immediately sneaked to the door of the room where the three of them were staying and silently stuck herself to the door. He heard a voice say,"
"Motherf * cker, you bought us with just three thousand taels of silver, and now we have the bad reputation of betraying our teachers and ancestors, and being disloyal and unfilial. To be honest, if it wasn't for you two brothers insisting, I would never have done it. But now, he was forced to leave his hometown and did not dare to show his face. We don't even know who that white-bearded old man is. Is it worth it to risk our lives for him? Brothers?"
"Liao Hui, can you stop talking? Now that things have come to this, let's discuss what we should do next. He didn't know if Hall Master Gai was still alive. If he was still alive, he would definitely seek revenge on us. I, Wang Long, am alone. It doesn't matter where I go. This move was already made, so stop complaining!”
Wang Long said.
"That sword of mine pierced through his abdomen, coupled with Brother Wang Long's palm strike, he fell from a few feet high to the ground. That was strange. Don't worry, if we have no other way out, we'll gather a group of people and go up the mountain to be the king of the mountain!”
Chen Jiu said to the two.
"Good idea, let's do it this way. South Yue is a place with high mountains, far away from the emperor, and many barbarians. It's a good place to be a mountain king. With our martial arts, what are we afraid of?”
Wang Long echoed.
Xue 'er returned to her room and reported the conversation she heard to her master.
"As I expected, Pavilion Master Gan and Pavilion Master Gai aren't the murderers. The murderer was that white-bearded old man, and who was that white-bearded old man?”
The nun thought to herself.
Priestess Qu Xin stood up and said to her disciples,"
"Disciples, it's better to sleep early. We still have to hurry on tomorrow!”
At night, Ren Hui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The moment she closed her eyes, she would see the tragic death of her kind parents. He remembered that when he was young, Uncle Gan and Uncle Gai loved him very much. The two of them often fought to hug him and play with him. Every time they went to the market to do business, they would hold my hand and walk around the street. They would buy whatever I liked. It was a scene that made me feel extremely emotional. No, I can't let these traitors who hurt Uncle Gai go.
Ren Hui quietly got up, picked up her sword, and left the room. He jumped onto the roof and arrived at the roof where Chen Jiu, Wang Long, and Liao Hui were staying.
Ren Hui gently lifted a tile and peeked into the room. The scene in the room scared Ren Hui so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. The three of them were lying in a pool of blood, all killed by a single sword. Ren Hui rolled down from the roof and returned to her room. She shook her master awake and told her what she had seen.
"This is murder. Alright, let's sleep. It saves us the trouble!”
It turned out that Priestess Qu Xin had also planned to deal with these three scums after her disciples fell asleep.
The landscape of South Yue was like a beautiful painting. The pagoda-like peaks rose from the ground and pierced into the clouds. From afar, it looked like a huge bamboo shoot. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was covered with weeds. All kinds of mountain flowers are smiling at you, and there are sparse pine trees looking out from above. Many larger rocks were exposed outside the weeds, like tumors growing on a person's body, leaving a trace of dissatisfaction on these bamboo-like peaks. Ren Hui, the Sect Master, and the others shuttled through the mountainous road to Ba Shu.
Ren Hui and the Sect Master walked in front. The master and disciple were chattering about something.
With a swoosh, an arrow flew toward Ren Hui. Nun Qu Xin pushed her beloved disciple forward, grabbed the arrow, and flew halfway up the mountain. There was a flash of white light and a few screams. The three men in black who were hiding behind the rocks fell to the ground with a long gash on their necks.
A black-clothed man wearing a green scarf jumped onto a big tree in a flash. With his extraordinary lightness skill, he stepped on the branches and leaves to escape.
Priestess Qu Xin was unwilling to let him go. She leaped up and chased after him. A black shadow was in front of her, followed closely by a gray shadow that was spinning along the mountain peak that reached the clouds, all the way to the peak.
The man in black knew that he couldn't escape, so he suddenly stopped and swung his broadsword at the incoming Priestess Qu Xin. Priestess Qu Xin's body suddenly rose ten feet into the air. That was close! The saber flashed past the nun's feet.
"You beast, how dare you be rude to this nun!”
Nun Qu Xin cursed.
Nun Qu Xin cursed as she continued to float more than ten feet into the air. Her long sword turned into a large halo. The stars in the halo dazzled people as they poured down from the sky and covered the man in black. The black-clothed man was shocked and hurriedly brandished his saber to block. The cold tip of the sword had already touched his Adam's apple.
Nun Qu Xin landed on the ground and shouted,"
"Speak! Who sent you here? If you say so, I'll let you live!”
"I'll talk, I'll talk, it's…!"
"Sou!" A short knife shot into the back of the man in black.
The man in black fell to the ground. A black shadow flashed and disappeared.
Nun Qu Xin chased after him, but he was nowhere to be seen. It was really a failure at the last step. The nun had no choice but to go down the mountain. He saw Ren Hui, Xue 'er, and Ye Lian looking up the mountain worriedly.
At this moment, Nun Qu Xin already felt that the other party wanted to eliminate the root of the problem. Ren Hui was in danger of being attacked at any time, and she could not help but feel worried.
Priestess Qu Xin said to her disciples,"
"From now on, Ren Hui can't leave everyone's side. Disciples, you have to be on high alert and be prepared to deal with the enemy at any time. You have to protect your Junior Sister Ren Hui well. We have to speed up and rush to the Yuelai Inn near Willow City for the night. Everyone, work hard!"
Yuelai Inn was a hundred-year-old inn located in the suburbs of Liu City. In front of them was a restaurant, and behind them were guest rooms. Business was booming.
Especially at night, the rich people in the city liked to bring their families to the picturesque suburbs to breathe in the fresh air when the sun was setting. They came to this century-old restaurant to taste first-grade tea and traditional delicacies. There were famous Sichuan dishes like "Spicy Shredded Chicken","Mapo Tofu","Spicy Boiled Fish"…
There were also people's favorite Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, etc. As long as you like to eat and want to eat, I can satisfy you. I guarantee that you'll have an endless aftertaste and come back often after eating. It can really be said that you come with a smile and go with a song.
In the evening, the nun and her party arrived at the entrance of Yuelai Inn. The hotel was almost full.
When the shop owner saw the arrival of the nun and her party, he quickly went up to them, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile. As he walked into the shop, he said,
"Master, it's been hard on you. Please come in and sit. The guest rooms were full. I have reserved two rooms for the old guests and honored guests.”
The shop owner said as he brought the nun to a big table by the wall and said,
"Nun, you and your disciples can have your meal here. I will order a vegetarian feast for Nun. Please have some tea first!”
"Waiter, serve some tea!"
The shop owner shouted.
The waiter answered and came to the shop owner's side.
"Go to the counter and take out the superior Longjing tea that I drank myself. Let the master and disciples have a taste. The master is tired from the journey and needs to be refreshed!”
The shop owner said to the waiter.
"Alright, please wait a moment. It'll be ready soon!”
The waiter quickly ran away.
The Sect Master Qu Xin, who had been trekking in blood and rain for a day, was infected by the boss's warm reception and immediately felt relaxed and refreshed. He smiled and said,"
"We've been running around for a day and are starving. Thank you for your warm reception, boss. You can go back to your work. We'll go to the room to rest after dinner. Hehehe!"
The boss smiled and went to greet the customers.
There were a few people dressed like martial artists sitting on the stage by the window. They were drinking and discussing the events of the Martial Arts Circle Alliance Selection Conference.
A Taoist priest said,"
"Ambitious Manor was massacred four days before the Alliance Selection Conference. Alliance Master Ren, Madam Ren, and almost all of his subordinates were killed. Only Vice Alliance Master Wei Xiangting and the others who lived in his manor were spared.
Four days later, Wei Xiangting was successfully elected as the new Alliance Master. The new Alliance Master swore to capture the murderer and avenge Alliance Master Ren. He had already sent out a martial arts forum post to capture the missing Xing Hall Master Gan Quan, Vice Hall Master Wu Yun of the Martial Dragon Hall, Hall Master Gai Ba of the Great Hero Hall, and others.
Last night, Liao Hui, Chen Jiu, and Wang Long, the missing subordinates of Gai Ba of the Hall of Heroes, were killed in the inn. All three of them were killed with a single sword.
Logically speaking, these three people's martial arts were not ordinary. To be able to kill all three of them at the same time, it seemed that the assassin's martial arts were indeed extraordinary. He stabbed three times in a row in an instant. It was unbelievable. The speed of his movements was indeed terrifying. It seemed that there would be waves in the martial arts world again!”
Another man in his thirties said,"
"The new Alliance Master has sent out a martial arts forum post to arrest Gan Quan and the others, implying that he suspects that Gan Quan and the others are behind this tragedy.
Gan Quan was Ren Xiaotian's right-hand man, and Hall Master Gai was also saved from the gates of hell by Alliance Master Ren. The two of them were loyal to Alliance Master Ren Xiaotian.
I don't think it was the two of them who did it. Moreover, there's no enmity between them. There's no reason. And who would benefit the most from Alliance Master Ren's death?”
The few of them nodded in unison.
At this moment, more than a dozen guests on the other two tables slowly surrounded them. A man in his forties asked,"
"What are you talking about? Who harmed Alliance Master Ren? Ambitious Villa? Do you mean the new alliance leader? It seems that you are tired of living. Who doesn't know that Alliance Master Wei and Alliance Master Ren are life-and-death brothers? The two of them were like brothers. Are you trying to spread rumors here to confuse the public and stir up trouble in the martial arts world? For the peace of the martial arts world and for the sake of the common people, I will get rid of you today. Let's see if you can still spread rumors and cause trouble."
As the man spoke, he waved his hand and a few darts flew out. The Taoist priest waved his long sleeve and put the darts into his sleeve. With a wave of his hand, the three men who had surrounded him fell to the ground. The hotel was instantly in chaos. All the guests fled with a bang. Only Priestess Qu Xin and her group of five were left sitting there, eating and drinking.
The hotel was instantly filled with swords and sabers, and fights broke out. A young man in a long robe was entangled with a burly man. The two of them were fighting hard. The brawny man jumped and his butt was facing the nun. The burly man fell down with an "ah". The young man did not know what had happened. At this time, he didn't have time to understand the reason. He turned around and fought with the other opponents.
The Taoist priest was fighting with the man in his forties. The burly man showed a flaw and took advantage of the opportunity when the other men attacked from behind the Taoist priest to suddenly slash his saber at the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was attacked from the front and back, and he could no longer dodge this saber.
"We're finished!"
The Daoist priest thought to himself.
However, at this critical moment, a bamboo chopstick pierced into the burly man's wrist like a sharp arrow. A clang was heard. The saber fell to the ground. The burly man held his bleeding right hand and glared fiercely at the nuns opposite him. He roared,"
"Let's go! Let these guys go for now."
The Taoist priest shook his long robe and came to Nun Qu Xin. He cupped his fists and thanked her,"
"Thank you for saving my life!"
"Monks should be merciful. It's just a small matter. There's no need to mention it!”
Qu Xin said.
"May I ask who you are…?"
"Ah! This poor nun is the heart of the Emei Sect!"
"Ah! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! It was the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, Qu Xin! I am Li Siyuan, the steward of the Guilin branch of Ambitious Villa, and this young man is Chen Fan from the Liucheng branch. Today, the leaders of our two branches have appointed us to meet here. He wanted to analyze the situation of Alliance Master Ren's death so that the two sides could reach an agreement and make plans for the future. I didn't expect to get into trouble here. It's all thanks to the nun who saved me!”
The Daoist priest introduced himself.
Nun Qu Xin said,
"Your opponents are not simple. They are powerful. You must be careful. This is your Alliance Master Ren's daughter, Miss Ren Hui!”
Li Siyuan, Chen Fan, and the others immediately knelt on the ground and said,"
"The brothers from the Liucheng and Guilin branches pay their respects to the young miss. We respectfully ask the young miss to sympathize with her grief and take care of your body. All the brothers in Liucheng and Guilin are at your service!”
Ren Hui hurriedly went forward to help the two of them up and said,
"Everyone, get up. I'm very grateful for your loyalty to my father. Things are different now. You have to be careful. I hope that your two branches will not carry out anyone's orders without my orders. Preserve and develop their own forces, and wait for the right time to act. I'll make a decision after I contact Hall Masters Gan Quan and Gai Ba, understand?”
"Understood, Young Miss. We will definitely follow your instructions!”
Li Siyuan and Chen Fan said firmly.
"Good! I can't stay here for long. Immediately return to your respective branches and report to the branch leaders to convey my orders. Be prepared, I will use the messenger pigeon method to keep in touch with you!”
Ren Hui instructed.
After sending off the people from the two branches, Ren Hui followed the nun upstairs to the room arranged by the owner. The waiter brought hot water, and the master and disciple took a comfortable hot bath separately. The nun instructed,
"Everyone, hurry up and go to bed. Ye Lian will guard here first, and Xue Er will be on duty in four hours. Let's take turns on night duty. Alright, hurry up and rest. Everyone, just be alert!”
The night was so quiet. The willow branches outside the window kept nodding with the spring breeze. People had already entered dreamland. From time to time, a few barking dogs could be heard in the distance. After a day of horror and trekking, the girls were already exhausted. They fell out of bed and quickly fell asleep.
Priestess Qu Xin was not so lucky. She knew that this quiet night would not be quiet. Their opponents would not let them sleep so comfortably. They could suddenly appear in front of them at any time. That sharp longsword, that cold broadsword, could take everyone's lives at any time.
Nun Qu Xin could only sit cross-legged on the bed and meditate. Looking at Ren Hui sleeping soundly on the bed, Nun Qu Xin could not help but feel sad.
The tragic death of her parents and the disappearance of her younger brother made this young girl an orphan. She couldn't let anyone hurt her anymore. She wanted to use her old life to protect Ren Xiaotian.
In the middle of the night, a small bamboo tube quietly passed through the white paper on the window and reached into the room. A wisp of white smoke entered the room from the bamboo tube. Nun Jue Xin raised her hand and a hair fork flew towards the window.
"Ah!" A scream followed by a bang!”A dark figure fell with a dull thud onto the flagstones of the gutter behind the house.
A black shadow shouted," Whoosh!" It shot into the room through the window. He stabbed the longsword at Nun Juexin who was sitting on the bed. The nun didn't dodge or dodge. She stretched out her hand and clamped the tip of the sword with her two fingers. A strong airflow passed through the tip of the sword and into the hand of the person. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, which showed that the person's internal strength was not bad.
Ren Hui and the other sisters, who had been awakened, leaped up and stabbed at him from three directions. The person was surrounded by enemies. He had no time to think. He instantly lay on the ground and pulled back his sword. One of them turned sideways and stabbed at Ren Hui, who was charging at him with his sword.
This action was indeed too fast and rushed, and the girls simply did not come back to their senses. Ren Hui saw that she couldn't dodge this sword, so she quickly raised her breath and shot towards the beam. At the same time, he swept his long sword horizontally, and with a clang, it swept right onto the tip of the sword. With a swish, Ren Hui's trouser leg was cut open. That was close. Ren Hui reached out her left hand and grabbed the beam.
Seeing that the person was trying to stab Ren Hui, Nun Qu Xin suddenly used her Qi to fly towards the person and slapped him on the back. Bang! Bang!" With two explosive sounds, the person hit the wall again after being hit.
However, he did not seem to be seriously injured. He saw the person leap up and swing his sword towards Ren Hui, who was on the beam.
Xue 'er, Ye Lian, and the other junior sister Spirit Immortal leaped up at the same time, and three long swords stabbed at him at the same time. Nun Qu Xin waved her hand again and sent a hair fork flying towards the back of the person.
The person had no choice but to protect himself. He rolled to the left and dodged the hair fork. At the same time, the long sword drew a large arc to block the three swords.
Ren Hui took the opportunity to swing his sword and shoot it at the incoming person diagonally from the air. The long sword shone with silver light and white light poured down, piercing through the shoulder of the incoming person.
The person leaned back and did a somersault, shooting out of the window and disappearing into the night.
After a fierce battle, the room returned to its usual calm. Nun Qu Xin told everyone to hurry up and rest assured.
After this fierce battle, the senior and junior sisters had already chased the sleeping bug away. All of them opened their eyes wide and could not fall asleep for a long time. The fish belly had appeared in the east, but the girls had fallen asleep again.
Nun Qu Xin got up and looked at her sleeping disciples, but she couldn't bear to wake them up. It was not until the morning sun shone through the window and into the room that they began to shout.
After washing up, the master and disciples packed their luggage and went downstairs. After eating breakfast, they bid farewell to the shop owner. They headed towards Emei.
Shu Road is difficult to travel, high mountains, winding roads. There are hungry wolves on the road, and there are hidden stakes on the road.
A few days later, they arrived at the foot of an uninhabited mountain. There were high mountains and dense forests everywhere, and steep cliffs. They could not see the sky when they raised their heads. The rugged path weaved between the valleys, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Priestess Qu Xin reminded her disciples,"
"Disciples, advance carefully. The terrain here is dangerous and it's a good place for a surprise attack. The three of you must protect your junior sister Ren Hui.”
"Got it, Master!"
Ye Lian, Xue Er, and the others replied in unison.
"Hah! Hah! Haha…! Old Tuni, don't waste your time. If you know what's good for you, just go by yourself. We're all monks. Why do you have to get involved in this muddy water? Leave that girl behind and go by yourself. I don't want to hurt anyone, so quickly escape!”
Suddenly, there was a burst of terrifying laughter and voices in the valley. The voice seemed to be beside him, on the cliff on the left, on the cliff on the right, or in the air above his head, but there was no one there.
Priestess Qu Xin looked around but failed, so she asked sternly,"
"Who is this person? Why are you hiding here and spouting such arrogant words? Do you think my Emei Sect is a vegetarian? If you have the ability, come out and give me your head!”
"Tuni, don't be ungrateful. I was just being kind and didn't want to hurt anyone. Don't force me to kill. Get lost and stop stopping me from getting rich!”
The terrifying voice rang out in the valley again.
"From your tone, you are also a monk. Monks are merciful. Your behavior is not the nature of a monk. It is a disgrace to my reputation as a monk!”
Nun Qu Xin lectured.
"Hah! Hah! Haha! Monks also need to eat. Who would go against money! Looks like you're going to do it the hard way! Then I'll send you to the afterlife together!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind gathered, and the entire valley turned dark. The monk was eight feet tall, with a fat head and big ears. He held a Buddhist staff in his hand and wore an apricot yellow robe. His eyes were bright and bright, and when he looked around, they were like sharp scissors. However, his brows were tightly knitted, and his face was filled with a murderous aura. The monk raised his staff and attacked Nun Qu Xin from the air!
"Protect your junior sister!"
Before Qu Xin could finish his sentence, he had already risen into the air and shot up like an arrow. His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind. He paused in the air and swung the sword in his hand upwards. With a crisp clang, flames flew in all directions in the darkness. He shot up another ten feet. Looking around, he saw nothing but two gusts of strong wind.
In an instant, a strong wind blew in the valley, howling and roaring. The already dark valley became even dimmer, and only the dazzling silver light in the sky was dancing rapidly, gradually disappearing into the distance…
The dark clouds suddenly parted, and the scenery around them could be seen clearly. Ren Hui and the senior sisters looked around. Their master was gone, and they were anxious!
Suddenly, two black shadows flashed. A middle-aged man in a long robe and a girl in her early twenties appeared. The girl reached out her hand to her waist and casually waved a long whip. It was more than ten feet long, and the whip was like a spirit snake as it whipped down at Ren Hui. Ren Hui's legs kicked and she jumped over the whip. She drew her long sword and without looking back, she swung her sword with her backhand and used the " Fairy's Return Slash " to sweep over.
The girl heard the sound of the wind and leaned forward, just in time to avoid the sword. Then, she swung her long whip upward," sweeping the starry sky." Ren Huiren was in the air, and the whip wind had already swept over. There was no way to dodge.
Ye Lian, Xue 'er, and the Spirit Immortal, who were being pestered by the middle-aged man, cried out in surprise. They thought that Ren Hui would be doomed by this move and were anxious, but they could not escape. It seemed that they had already planned it out. With the middle-aged man keeping the three of them busy, that girl was specifically targeting Ren Hui.
Who knew that Ren Hui's long sword would randomly point out the "Sun, Moon, and Starry Sky". The sword and sword all pierced the whip body, coincidentally dispersing the whip's momentum. Ye Lian and the others could not help but exclaim again.
The girl felt the whip go soft, and the long whip drooped down. Suddenly, the tip of the whip turned around and caught Ren Hui's embroidered sword, entangling herself.
This girl had been trained since she was young and was good at internal strength. This time, she wanted to use internal strength to counter Ren Hui's superb sword technique. At this time, Ren Huiren had not landed yet, so it was naturally difficult for him to move.
Who knew that the Emei Sword Style had its own style. Other than the Wudang Sword Style, the Emei Lightness Skill could allow one to freely change moves in the air without falling to the ground. At that moment, Ren Hui knew that he had nowhere to land, and he was naturally at a disadvantage when competing with the other party's internal strength. He suddenly had a quick wit and loosened the grip of the sword. He rose up with the force of the press. He lightly tapped the whip with his feet and moved behind the girl. His right index finger was like a sword, and he pointed at the girl's Jianjing acupoint like a meteor falling from a stone.
The girl was focused on dealing with Ren Hui's internal energy that seeped out from the tip of the sword when she suddenly felt her hand loosen. A breeze swept by, and she was surprised when her right shoulder was slightly numb. In a battle between experts, a slight difference could result in a thousand miles of loss. The girl had already turned into a disadvantageous position. Without any other choice, he waved his whip, and the sword wrapped around the whip flew out. Ren Hui followed suit, and his momentum was actually faster than the sword. He held the sword in his hand and flew a few feet away before landing lightly on the ground. His movement technique was exceptionally beautiful.
The young lady had never met a match for her Divine Whip, and now that she had been defeated within ten moves, she was furious.
Ren Hui relied on her strange movement technique and exquisite sword technique to win. In fact, she knew that this girl's internal strength was amazing. If she continued to fight, she would definitely suffer. Her three senior sisters were also entangled by the middle-aged man and could not support her. It would be difficult for her to survive alone.
At this moment, she thought of the hidden weapon her mother had passed to her, the " Poisonous Embroidery Needle ". This was an embroidery needle soaked in poison. It was extremely poisonous. As long as it scratched the opponent's skin, it would immediately seal the throat and kill him. It was a terrible and ugly death. Ren Hui was a kind-hearted girl. He did not want to use such cruel means to kill people. Moreover, the opponent had no enmity with him.
When the girl was furious, the long whip shook like a flying dragon dancing, roaring and rolling, strong and entangled, trapping Ren Hui in it, surrounded by danger! Ye Lian shouted,
"Not good! Junior Sister is in trouble!"
The three of them charged at the girl without caring about anything else. The middle-aged man's sword flew out, and silver light filled the sky like a sea of stars, covering the three of them. Ye Lian was anxious to save her junior sister, so she was accidentally stabbed in the back by the middle-aged man and fell to the ground. Ren Hui let out a long sigh.
"Father, Mother, I'm unfilial. I can't avenge the two elders…!”
"What did you say? Who do you want to avenge? What revenge?"
The girl asked. But she did not stop.
"My father, mother, and uncles were just assassinated, and my brother is missing…!”
Ren Hui said sadly.
"Who are you? What's your name? Who are your parents?"
the girl asked.
"My name is Ren Hui. My father is the former leader of the martial arts world, Director Zhuang of Ambitious Villa, Xiao Tian. My mother is Lin Xiaoru!”
Ren Hui replied while parrying.
The girl suddenly jumped out of the circle. He cried out in surprise,
"What?! What the hell! Are you the descendant of Alliance Master Ren? Uncle, stop it, we made a mistake…!”
Priestess Qu Xin and the fat monk fought fiercely. Neither of them could win. The two of them fought further and further away. At this moment, the nun was shocked!
"I was tricked! He had been tricked! I've fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Nun Juexin swept her sword fiercely and suddenly turned around to shoot at Ren Hui and the others.
"Where are you going? Old Ni, just stay here and play with this monk. That girl might have already gone to report to the King of Hell. I've already got one hundred thousand taels of silver, hehe!”
The fat monk clung tightly to Nun Qu Xin and laughed smugly.
"You heartless thing. Alliance Master Ren, I've let you down. I'm incompetent and didn't protect your descendants. If anything happens to Miss Ren Hui, I'll come down and apologize to you!”
Nun Qu Xin cried out sadly.
"What? What did you say? Alliance Master Ren? That girl is Alliance Master Ren's daughter? Amitabha. I hope she's still alive!”
The fat monk turned around and dashed into the valley. Nun Qu Xin followed closely behind, worried. The fat monk and Priestess Qu Xin rushed to the valley. The fight had already stopped. They saw a group of people sitting on a rock from afar and flew down.
"Master, you…you're back?”
"Master, you're back?”
Ren Huishi and her sister, the middle-aged man, and the girl shouted in unison.
"Yes, I'm back. Are you all okay?”
Priestess Qu Xin asked anxiously as she landed.
"Ah! You're back. I was worried sick. What are you…?”
The fat monk asked curiously.
"Master, we're fine. It's just that Senior Sister Ye Lian is injured and has just been bandaged!”
Ren Hui said to her master.
The girl told the fat monk the whole story. The fat monk chuckled and said,"
"Hehehe! We almost made a big mistake!”
The fat monk apologized to Nun Qu Xin with a guilty expression. Then, he introduced her and told her the whole story.
It turned out that the fat monk was called Tengge Gaer, also known as Master Tengge. He was a monk with great martial arts in the desert. The middle-aged man was called Peng Baidan, the master's eldest disciple. The girl was called Wuyan Zhuoma, the master's youngest disciple.
It was a few nights ago. Peng Baidan was hungry on his way back. He sat down in a small hotel by the roadside and prepared to eat some wine and food before leaving. As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged man was sitting beside him drinking. Seeing Peng Baidan sit down, he said,"
"This brother, please come over here and have a drink. I'm not in the mood to drink alone, so it's my treat. Come over, let's make friends!”
Peng Baidan was a forthright person. Without saying anything, he got up and sat down. He introduced himself,
"This one is called Peng Baidan, what's your name, brother?”
"Ah! Your surname is Zhang, and Zhang Zhibai is a vile man. I'm from the Central Plains and do some leather goods business. Please take care of me, brother!”
the man introduced to Peng Baidan. The two of them drank a few cups and were already very familiar with each other. Zhang Zhi Bai asked,
"Brother Peng, where did you go?”
Peng Baidan replied,
"On Master's orders, I'm going to the town to beg for alms. The temple is short of funds!”
Zhang Zhi Bai asked,"
"Brother, is everything done?"
"Sigh! The effect is minimal!"
Peng Baidan shook his head and sighed.
"Ah! Seeing how difficult it is for you, I have a good deal that can earn you 100,000 taels of silver. I wonder if you dare to earn this money?”
"What kind of business is so profitable? It must be murder. My master is a monk. My master won't do such a business!”
Peng Baidan shook his head.
"Monks have to live! Without money, people would starve to death. Where would there be any principles and morals? I'm not asking you to do bad things!"
Zhang Zhi Bai said.
Peng Baidan quickly said,
"Brother Qing Ren understands the reason for this business!”
Zhang Zhi Bai said slowly,
"It's like this. There's a wicked man on our side who relied on his martial arts to seize a big shop in town. In the fight, he killed more than ten people in the boss's family. Only a teenage girl went to her grandmother's house and survived. The girl's grandmother offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy the head of one of the murderer's daughters, or a person. However, this woman is studying in a powerful sect, so it's not easy to get her. I don't know if you can take this deal. If you don't have this power, forget it!”
Peng Baidan could not stand people looking down on his master's martial arts. He immediately said angrily,
"Humph! In terms of martial arts and power, who in this area didn't know? Alright then! I'll take this deal. However, I have to make it clear that we will try our best not to kill anyone and only hand them over. Brother, please explain how to pay!"
Zhang Zhi Bai immediately praised,
"Good! If you are brave enough, I will help her pay half of the reward to brother first. The remaining half will be paid in one lump sum after the matter is settled. I will be fully responsible for paying you! Is this okay?"
"Alright! It's settled then!"
Peng Baidan immediately agreed.
Zhang Zhi Bai took out a few gold bars from his pocket and handed them to Peng Baidan.
"All of you immediately go to South Yue Liu City and wait. Someone will inform you of the target and the time and place of action!”
Peng Bodan immediately went back to report to his master Tengge and convinced him to do the deal. Tengge Ger thought,"
"This is a good thing to help people. We don't even have to kill people. The economy is tight now. With this money, the temple won't have to worry!”
Thus, he and his two disciples immediately set off for South Yue's Willow City and stayed in an inn. That night, the three of them returned from a meal at a restaurant. Peng Baidan pushed open the door and saw a letter on the floor. He hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Master Teng Ge.
Tengger tore open the seal and took out the letter.
"Go to Loushan Pass immediately and wait. Abbess Qu Xin of Emei and her group of five will pass by. The girl in casual clothes is the target. This place is dangerous and a good place to make a move.”
Tengger immediately ordered,
He would lure away Priestess Qu Xin, Peng Baidan would hold back the three Taoist nuns, and Wuyan Zhuoma would capture the target. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not hurt the target. They would just capture and hand them over. Thus, the battle just now had occurred.
Priestess Qu Xin knew that the opponent would not let them find out who the mastermind was, so she did not ask any more questions. Therefore, he took out a gold bar from his bag and said,"
"Thank you, Master, for being so righteous and not being moved by money, so that my disciple will not be hurt. This bit of money will solve Master's urgent needs!”
Wizard Tengge was unwilling to accept the gold bars, so he said,"
"Thank you, Abbess. I can't accept this money. I've already taken fifty thousand taels from that guy. This money is enough for us to spend. As for that fellow, I reckon he wouldn't dare to ask me for it. If he dares to ask me for it, then he's asking for it! Hehehe!"
Both sides gave way for a while, but Master Teng Ge insisted on not taking it, so Nun Jue Xin had to take it back. Then, he bid farewell to Master Teng Ge and his disciple and rushed to Emei with Ren Hui.
