Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 116 Yellow River Ancestor
"Miss Ren, you are quite courageous. This time all the major sects have gathered in Luoshui, and almost all the masters of the righteous path are present. Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity as a Sun and Moon Sect and bringing disaster upon yourself?" Huang Sixi asked.

"A lot of righteous masters have indeed come, but their minds are all on you, Mr. Huang, and they don't care about an unknown woman like me." Ren Yingying was not worried about herself:

"Even if there is a fatal disaster, you, Mr. Huang, will be in the greatest danger, while I will be in the least danger."

Ren Yingying observed the entire Luoshui Conference and knew Huang Sixi's situation.

She personally witnessed Huang Sixi killing Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the righteous path, and was then slapped by Master Fang Zheng. It was absolutely impossible for her to say that he had no grudge against the righteous path.

Even though Huang Sixi rejects the Demonic Cult, he will not have a good impression of the righteous path.

Earlier, Ren Yingying also went to the pleasure boat to ask Linghu Chong about Huang Sixi's life experience. He only started to move around in the martial arts world half a year ago and originally had no sect or school.

Whether Huang Sixi is good or evil has not yet been determined.

Out of honesty, Ren Yingying directly introduced herself to Huang Sixi, but she might have guessed that Huang Sixi would not reveal her cult background to outsiders.

Huang Sixi asked her again: "Since you know that I am in great trouble, why did you come to see me? If my enemies see us together, aren't you worried about being implicated?"

Ren Yingying pointed outside the temple and said, "After Master Huang left Luoshui, I thought the Songshan Sect would join forces with other sects to hunt you down, but it turns out they are afraid of you like a tiger. There are no pursuers behind you. I am waiting for you here, no one will know, and naturally I won't be implicated."

Huang Sixi saw that she was young, but acted calmly and steadily, which must be a skill she had developed since she was a child in the Sun and Moon Sect.

Her martial arts skills must be quite good. A martial art like 'transmitting sound into secret' cannot be performed without profound internal strength.

"Ms. Ren, you have taken the trouble to come here. If you have something to ask me, you might as well tell me clearly." Huang Sixi asked about Ren Yingying's intentions.

"I have nothing to trouble you with." Ren Yingying stared at Huang Sixi with her beautiful eyes:
"I'm just a little confused about your identity, Mr. Huang. Your martial arts skills are rare in this world. If you stay in a righteous sect, you will definitely stand out in a few years and become a leader like Zuo Lengchan. You should have a very good future in the righteous sect."

"I don't care about these. If I want to fight for power and fame, I don't have to stay in the underworld. I can go directly to the court." Huang Sixi replied.

"Then you don't have to kill Li Feng and Zuo Lengchan. This will arouse suspicion from the righteous people. Even an outsider like me thinks you are from the Sun and Moon Sect." Ren Yingying really believed that Huang Sixi had some connection with the Demon Sect, otherwise she would not have killed two leaders of the righteous path in succession.

"So Miss Ren thinks I'm an undercover agent of the Demon Cult?"

Huang Sixi suddenly laughed: "You think too much, I have nothing to do with the Sun Moon Divine Sect."

"Women love to fantasize, it's not surprising."

Ren Yingying looked at herself and smiled.

She saw Huang Sixi touching his chest from time to time, thinking that he must have been injured on the Luoshui arena earlier, so she immediately reached for the healing pills she carried with her.

But she hesitated again: "In the eyes of the righteous, I am a demon cult witch. This is my first time meeting Mr. Huang. If I rashly give him the elixir, he will definitely not eat it. If he refuses me, it will be embarrassing for both of us. It is better not to embarrass him."

Thinking of this, she stopped giving him medicine and just said something caring: "Mr. Huang has walked a long way. Why don't you take a rest first and then we can talk."

"I can rest and talk at the same time, it won't affect me." Huang Sixi gestured to her:
"You came all this way to follow me, wanting to know if I'm from a demonic sect. I'll explain it to you clearly! You don't have to stand all the time, sit down and listen to me slowly!"

"That's fine too."

Ren Yingying happily sat down.

Earlier at the Luoshui Conference, after Huang Sixi killed Zuo Lengchan with a palm strike, Ren Yingying originally thought that Huang Sixi would be besieged by the righteous sects, and she had already made preparations to rescue him.

However, she underestimated the power struggles among the righteous sects, and was not aware of the conflict between the Songshan Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect. After Zuo Lengchan's death, the Songshan disciples could hardly protect themselves, so how could they have the energy to deal with Huang Sixi?

Huang Sixi did not kill a lot of people on the Luoshui arena. Only Zuo Lengchan died on the scene, and he was killed in a counterattack when he attacked Huang Sixi. The righteous sects had no excuse to besiege Huang Sixi.

Therefore, after Huang Sixi left Luoshui, he did not encounter any trouble along the way.

Seeing that Huang Sixi was safe along the way and unable to find any opportunity to provide assistance, Ren Yingying rushed to the dilapidated temple first, waiting to meet Huang Sixi and simply went straight to the point.

Huang Sixi heard that she misunderstood that he was a member of the Demonic Cult.

He told her the real reason why he killed Jie Feng and Zuo Lengchan: "The only contact I had with the Sun Moon Sect was when I had a drink with Qu Yang more than half a year ago. Those days happened to be the day when Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect held a ceremony to retire..."

Huang Sixi finished telling his experience of the hand-washing meeting.

Ren Yingying sighed slightly: "I am surprised that Elder Qu has such close contacts with righteous people. If this matter were to spread to Black Wood Cliff, the punishment he would receive would probably be even more severe than Liu Zhengfeng's."

Huang Sixi heard her words and seemed to know nothing about Qu Yang: "Miss Ren, don't you know the relationship between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng?"

"Although I am a disciple of the Demonic Cult, I no longer interfere in the affairs of the Cult."

Ren Yingying spoke tactfully as she recounted her experiences: "I grew up in Blackwood Cliff. The elders of the church did not treat me harshly, but the church also had many affairs to attend to. I did not want to be constrained any longer, so I left Blackwood Cliff two years ago and moved to Luoyang. During my seclusion, I composed music and played the piano every day, and did not hear about the affairs of the martial arts world. Not to mention Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, even you, Master Huang, I only heard about you recently."

She has the title of "Saint Lady" in the Sun Moon Sect and is a mascot held up by Dongfang Bubai, specifically used to appease people's hearts. After all, her father Ren Woxing was the former leader, and Dongfang Bubai secretly usurped the throne and replaced Ren Woxing.

Dongfang Bubai deliberately treated Ren Yingying well in order to conceal his tracks, cover up the rebellion and prevent unrest within the sect.

After Dongfang Bubai succeeded the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, he had the ambition to unify the martial arts world in the early stage, so he recruited all the evil figures outside the sect under his command, used the poison "Three Corpses Brain Pill" to control them, and gave them the antidote regularly.

These evil characters come from all corners of the world. They are not formal members of the cult, but marginal characters. They are often treated harshly by the cult. If they do not do their job well, their antidotes will be withheld and they will be tortured by the "Three Corpses Brain Pill".

Looking at the entire Sun and Moon Sect, the only person willing to help these evil characters is Ren Yingying, so these evil characters would come to Ren Yingying's door every now and then.

Ren Yingying felt sorry for them and always sought antidotes for them.

In the past, in order to appease people's hearts, Dongfang Bubai would always grant Ren Yingying's requests.

But in recent years, Dongfang Bubai has been living in seclusion in the deep palace and no longer shows up in public, and the power of the Sun Moon Sect is controlled by several elders.

Since Ren Yingying could not see Dongfang Bubai, her status as the "Saint Lady" was in name only, and it was difficult for her to get the antidote for the "Three Corpses' Brain Pill". She did not want to be controlled by the elders of the sect, so she left Blackwood Cliff, traveled around, and finally lived in seclusion in Luoyang. She did not want to be involved in the affairs of the Demon Sect anymore, but those evil people had to rely on her for help. When they heard that she was living in seclusion in Luoyang, they tried to curry favor with her, but she rejected them all.

She was only followed by a green bamboo old man who was running errands.

Before the Luoshui Conference.

Ren Yingying knew little about Huang Sixi's experiences in the Liu Mansion in Hengshan and the Beggars' Sect. It was not until the righteous sects poured into Luoyang that she learned that the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, Zuo Lengchan, had actually issued a declaration of war to an unknown person.

When she first heard the news, Ren Yingying thought Huang Sixi was some hero from the Divine Religion, because apart from the Divine Religion, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would force Zuo Lengchan to personally challenge him.

After Huang Sixi finished telling her story, Ren Yingying realized that it was not the case at all.

"Zuo Lengchan issued a declaration of war to Master Huang because Master Huang killed Ding Mian and Lu Bai of the Songshan Sect in Liu's residence. Master Huang said it yourself that you came to the Retirement Conference alone and have no friendship with the Liu's residence or hatred with the Songshan Sect. Did you kill Ding Mian and Lu Bai just because you couldn't bear to see them committing murders?"

"It was originally for Master Dingyi."

"But you saved Young Nun Yilin of Hengshan Sect before, which was enough to repay Nun Dingyi for the medicine she gave you. Their medicine may not be rare, but you put yourself in danger for the sake of outsiders."

"Master Dingyi brought me to Hengshan for shelter. I am definitely not an outsider."

"Mr. Huang, with your martial arts skills, you don't need anyone's protection at all. You went to Hengshan to settle down to protect Master Dingyi and the others, right?"

When Ren Yingying saw that Huang Sixi didn't answer, she felt that her guess was not wrong.

She thought to herself: "Young Master Huang insisted on killing Zuo Lengchan in the ring, it must be to eliminate future troubles. Once Zuo Lengchan is dead, no one will go to Hengshan Sect to cause trouble in the future. Now that Master Dingyi and the others are safe, Young Master Huang will leave Luoshui alone and will not return to Hengshan!"

She felt more and more that Huang Sixi was grateful, courageous, not tempted by fame and fortune, and not bound by the traditions of good and evil.

She couldn't help but think again: "It's just that Master Huang has done so much for others, but he is not understood by others. Instead, they think he is not worthy of being a righteous knight. Even a famous master like Master Fang Zheng is blaming him, but how can a righteous knight be worthy of Master Huang? Fortunately, Master Huang doesn't care about these false names at all, and he has no hostility towards the Demon Sect."

As her thoughts were flying, she felt a chill spreading in front of her. She turned her head and saw that Huang Sixi's palms were trembling slightly, and a layer of cold air was emanating from his palms, as if wrapped in mist.

"Mr. Huang, are you hurt?"

"When I was fighting with Zuo Lengchan, I was hit by his icy energy. I had been suppressing it with my internal energy, but I lost my focus just now and the cold energy seeped out."

Huang Sixi has double internal strength.

The internal force infused into his body through the relics of famous figures can integrate any style of true qi, so he is naturally not afraid of the penetration of icy true qi.

But the internal strength he cultivated would be affected by the ice qi.

In the original novel, after Ren Woxing was hit by Zuo Lengchan's icy qi, his skin was frozen as cold as ice, and snowflakes fell on his body but did not melt at all. Finally, he relied on Linghu Chong to perform the Star Absorbing Art to slowly melt the icy qi.

Huang Sixi does not understand the Star-Absorbing Technique, but he possesses another more effective method of transforming energy.

After he killed Zuo Lengchan, he picked up a broken arrow left by Zuo Lengchan. On his way to the ruined temple, he had already read the martial arts on the broken arrow and learned Zuo Lengchan's "Ice Palm".

Now he only needs to use the "Ice Palm" to absorb the ice energy in his body bit by bit, and use it to attack the enemy in the future.

When he was talking to Ren Yingying just now, he had never stopped practicing his internal energy. However, his internal injuries had not healed yet, and his internal energy occasionally showed signs of being out of control, causing the icy true energy to overflow from his body.

He suppressed his true energy first, then stood up from the stone bench and said to Ren Yingying: "It's not convenient to recuperate here, I have to leave immediately!"

Ren Yingying thought he was ordering them to leave, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Huang, be careful on your journey. I'm going back to Luoyang too."

Huang Sixi asked again, "I heard footsteps approaching this way. After the Luoshui Conference ended, the righteous people returned to their respective sects and might stop by here. It is not convenient for me to stay here any longer. Miss Ren, do you know how far the nearby town is?"

Ren Yingying thought, it turns out that he was not chasing me away, but someone was chasing him away.

"Let's leave the temple first."

The two men walked for a while and entered a forest. When they looked back at the ruined temple, they found a group of wanderers who had come together. Dozens of them rushed into the temple gate.

Ren Yingying was even more unwilling to meet people from the righteous path, so she put on a veil.

"Mr. Huang, there are thousands of righteous people participating in the Luoshui Conference. They will definitely stay in towns on their way back. No matter which direction you go, you will inevitably run into them."

"It doesn't matter if they meet, as long as they don't disturb me. I just want to find a quiet place to heal my wounds."

"There is a villa to the north, where a father and daughter live. The father is called Old Man, and the daughter is called Old Immortal. Their home is very secluded and the closest to here, but they are evil people. I wonder if Mr. Huang is willing to deal with them?"

"It's fine as long as it's secluded. I don't mind their identities." Huang Sixi actually knew the father and daughter. The old man was one of the ancestors of the Yellow River. He was very respectful to Ren Yingying and obeyed her orders. If Ren Yingying introduced him, Huang Sixi could rest assured to recuperate.

However, Ren Yingying has moved out of Blackwood Cliff and has not contacted evil people in recent years. Huang Sixi said, "Miss Ren, you no longer ask about the affairs of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. If I ask you to introduce fellow practitioners, will it cause you any trouble?"

Ren Yingying pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Huang is thoughtful. It is a bit troublesome, but I can handle it. Please follow me, Mr. Huang."

She and Huang Sixi walked north for most of the hour. The road became increasingly rugged and they walked onto a mountain path. After reaching the hillside, a tiled house appeared.

She went up and knocked on the door.

Huang Sixi stood behind and waited.

After a while, the door opened and a fat man walked out.

At first, the big man seemed quite annoyed when he saw two strangers coming to his door. But when Ren Yingying took off her veil and saw her appearance, the big man fell to his knees, prostrated himself at Ren Yingying's feet, trembling all over, and dared not raise his head like an ostrich.

Ren Yingying turned her head and looked back at Huang Sixi, her face very embarrassed: "Mr. Huang, wait a moment, I haven't seen the old gentleman for many days, he may miss him too much, so he is too excited."
