Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 250: Feud and Pursuit
Huang Sixi knew that Qiao Feng's background was about to be revealed, but he had no interest in intervening.

He walked up to Tong Lao, pointed at Wang Yuyan, and asked Tong Lao: "She is just a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts. I remember you said before that you never kill civilians without martial arts. Do you plan to kill her?"

Tong Lao replied: "Grandma, what I said will always count!"

Tong Lao promised not to kill Wang Yuyan, but then said, "But this little bitch looks exactly like Li Qiushui, she must be Li Qiushui's descendant. I want to use this little bitch to lure Li Qiushui out of the Xixia Palace!"

Her martial arts skills are stronger than Li Qiushui's. As long as Li Qiushui leaves the palace and loses the protection of Xixia's elite soldiers, she is sure to kill Li Qiushui.

However, she knew very well that Li Qiushui was cold-hearted by nature and might not care about the life of a grandchild like Wang Yuyan, so she planned to increase the bargaining chips for blackmail.

She asked Huang Sixi, "You just said that this little bitch and I have a three-generation feud. You must know this little bitch's family background very well. Who is she to Li Qiushui, and where does she live?"

Huang Sixi did not hide it: "Her name is Wang Yuyan, her mother is Li Qingluo, she is married to the Wang family in Gusu, and her family lives in Taihu Lake..."

Wang Yuyan became very nervous when she heard him talk about her family background. "Sir, please stop talking. This woman has a grudge against my family. If you tell her where my family is, she might go to the butcher shop. Please be kind!"

Wang Yuyan suddenly pleaded, "She said that I look like Li Qiushui, but I don't know who Li Qiushui is. Maybe... maybe I am really the descendant of Li Qiushui. I am willing to forgive Li Qiushui and let her kill me to end this feud. I beg her to let my family go!"

If Tong Lao and Huang Sixi hadn't mentioned it, Wang Yuyan would never have heard of the name Li Qiu Shui.

Huang Sixi looked at Wang Yuyan and asked curiously, "Has your mother never told you who your grandma and grandpa are?"

Wang Yuyan whispered, "No."

She recalled her mother's daily behavior. She liked to grow camellia, and even the walls of her home were covered with camellia pictures. Could it be that her grandparents were related to camellia, and her mother grew and painted tea because she missed her grandparents?
Huang Sixi asked her again: "Do you want to know the identities of your grandparents?"

Wang Yuyan already had a hunch in her heart. Her mother's name was Li Qingluo. Just now, Tong Lao and Huang Sixi kept mentioning Li Qiu Shui. Both women had the surname Li. Could they be relatives?

Wang Yuyan asked Huang Sixi for confirmation: "Sir, are you going to tell me that Li Qiushui is my grandmother?"

Huang Sixi nodded at her: "That's right! Li Qiushui is your grandmother, and your grandfather is Wuyazi!"

Huang Sixi knew that the main reason why Tong Lao and Li Qiu Shui became enemies was because of Wuyazi.

Tong Lao is the eldest disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect and has always been good friends with Wuyazi, which makes Li Qiushui jealous. She launches a surprise attack on Tong Lao when she is practicing martial arts, causing Tong Lao's body to be unable to grow and her appearance to remain like a girl forever.

There is no doubt that Li Qiu Shui is the culprit.

Among the three elders of Xiaoyao Sect, the worst one is Li Qiushui.

But at that time, Wuyazi and Li Qiushui lived in seclusion in the Wuliang Yubi Cave and lived a happy life. They also gave birth to a daughter, Li Qingluo, and their affair was always kept secret from Tong Lao.

If Huang Sixi revealed this matter at this moment, given Tong Lao's hot temper, it was expected that she would be furious.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Tong Lao remained silent.

Huang Sixi turned his head to look over, only to see that Tong Lao had closed her eyes. She was trying her best to suppress her inner emotions, but her tears were still rolling down uncontrollably. She muttered in a low voice, "This little thief had an affair with that bitch. It was so painful for me to keep it a secret. He was so cruel to me..."

Huang Sixi was really puzzled. Tong Lao was already over ninety years old, but she was still sentimental because of her youthful recklessness. She was truly a person of temperament.

Wang Yuyan was shocked to see Tong Lao's tragic look, thinking how could this short woman, who was as ferocious as a tiger, actually feel sad?

Tong Lao calmed down, wiped away her tears, and asked Huang Sixi: "Little Ah Si, are you sure this girl is the granddaughter of Li Qiushui and Wuyazi?"

Huang Sixi said: "Why don't you ask Wuyazi yourself? Wouldn't it be more truthful if he told you face to face? You are both nearly a hundred years old, are you still acting like children and refusing to communicate with each other?"

Tong Lao trembled, and rushed to Huang Sixi's side, stepped forward to grab Huang Sixi's arm and said, "Do you know where Wuyazi is?"

Huang Sixi threw his arm to prevent her from touching him. "Wuyazi lives in seclusion in Leigu Mountain near the Shaolin Temple in Zhongzhou. How could you not know this, grandma?"

Tong Lao's expression became even more excited: "He has been missing for thirty years, and I still have no news about him! I have heard of the Leigushan Lao, there is a deaf and dumb valley in the mountain, Wuyazi's eldest disciple Su Xinghe lives in the valley, guarding the Zhenlong chess game all year round!"

Huang Sixi said, "You know Su Xinghe is Wuyazi's disciple, why don't you go and ask him yourself? Su Xinghe lives in Tianlong Diya Valley to protect Wuyazi. He set up the Zhenlong chess game to select a successor for Wuyazi!"

Tong Lao frowned immediately: "Wuyazi is a master of martial arts, he doesn't need Su Xinghe's protection at all!"

Huang Sixi was stunned and thought that it was not right that Tong Lao knew nothing about Wuyazi.

He asked about an incident in the past: "Back then, Li Qiushui disregarded her integrity and had an affair with Wuyazi's second disciple Ding Chunqiu. Are you aware of this?"

Tong Lao said in a hateful voice: "Grandma, of course I know, it was a scandal thirty years ago, and I was the first to discover the affair between Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu. They were an uncle and a nephew, and their affair was incest, so I informed that little thief Wuyazi!
My original intention was to follow the sect rules with Wuyazi and kill Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu together, but Wuyazi used his position as the sect leader to pressure me and wouldn't let me go with him. He said he wanted to clean up the sect on his own, and I have been missing ever since!"

Huang Sixi nodded when she mentioned that this happened thirty years ago. "Wuyazi didn't have the ability to kill Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu. Instead, he was knocked off the cliff by the two of them, causing Wuyazi to be paralyzed. Later, he was rescued from the bottom of the cliff by Su Xinghe. Since then, the master and disciple have lived in seclusion in Leigushan until today!"

If Wuyazi and Tong Lao had really joined forces at that time, Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu would definitely not be able to stop them.

But at that time Wuyazi and Li Qiushui already had a daughter, and he certainly couldn't bear to kill Li Qiushui, so he deliberately didn't let Tong Lao go with him.

Wuyazi thought that he could easily kill Ding Chunqiu and capture Li Qiushui by relying on his Beiming magic skills. However, he didn't know that Li Qiushui had already given up on him, so she teamed up with Ding Chunqiu to plot against him.

After he was ambushed and knocked off the cliff, Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu continued to be lovers, and took away all the martial arts secrets in the Wuliang Yubi Cave, and moved to Gusu Taihu Lake with Li Qingluo.

However, Li Qiushui soon got tired of Ding Chunqiu, and then went to Western Xia to become an imperial concubine, where she settled down and never returned to the Central Plains. Li Qingluo was left alone in Gusu, where she got married and gave birth to Wang Yuyan.

"That little thief Wuyazi was knocked off the cliff by Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu, and is now paralyzed?"

When Tong Lao heard the news, she suddenly burst into laughter: "It really serves you well!"

She frowned again and looked at Wang Yuyan: "Your grandma is having an affair outside and teamed up with the adulterer to murder your grandpa. What do you think?"

Wang Yuyan stuttered: "I...I..."

She thought that this was just the young man's one-sided statement and might not be true.

She didn't even believe that Li Qiushui and Wuyazi were really her grandparents.

She glanced at Huang Sixi, ready to ask about the details between the relatives.

Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, a cry for help suddenly came from outside the apricot forest: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, the evil Tibetan monks are chasing us, hurry up..." This was a mixed voice of Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, which soon stopped abruptly, and the two seemed to be restrained.

When Huang Sixi heard the cry for help, he quickly rushed into the woods and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On that day at the Tianlong Temple in Dali, Jiumozhi captured Duan Yu. No matter how Jiumozhi tortured him, Duan Yu remained tight-lipped.

But at this time Duan Yu was with Mu Wanqing. If Jiumozhi captured them both at the same time, and then took Mu Wanqing as a hostage to force Duan Yu to commit a crime, then Duan Yu would most likely reveal the secret of "Six Meridians Divine Sword" to Jiumozhi.

When Tong Lao saw Huang Sixi going to rescue people, she waved her hand and said, "Follow me!"

She grabbed Wang Yuyan's wrist and chased after Huang Sixi.

Fu Minyi and more than twenty Lingjiu palace maids followed closely behind.

At this time, Qiao Feng was reading the suicide letter left by Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect. The letter recorded his Khitan background. Although he heard Duan Yu's cry for help, he had no intention of paying attention.

When Tan Po and Zhao Qiansun from Chongxiao Cave in Taihang Mountain saw Huang Sixi leaving the apricot forest, they couldn't help but feel worried.

After a while, Tong Lao came to the outside of the apricot forest, but found no trace of Huang Sixi.

Fu Minyi knew the situation of Tianlong Temple and briefly told Tong Lao: "When in Dali, Master Duan was captured by the Great Wheel King Jiumozhi of the Tibetan Kingdom. Master Duan rushed to Gusu just to rescue Master Duan! Just now Master Duan shouted at the evil Tibetan monk. I guess he was captured by Jiumozhi again. Master must have gone to track him down!"

Tong Lao thought that no matter how powerful the evil Tibetan monk was, he would not be able to walk fast enough to capture Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing, and would be caught up by Huang Sixi within a mile.

Tong Lao looked at the traces of running on the ground and said: "Let's continue chasing!"

She thought she would be able to reunite with Huang Sixi soon.

Unexpectedly, when she chased for a mile away, not only did she not see Huang Sixi, but she smelled a pungent smell of blood.

She went around the hillside in front and saw that the valley was littered with wounded and disabled bodies. It must have been a bloody battle that had just taken place here.

Fu Minyi went closer to check the bodies, and came back to report to Tong Lao: "My Lord, these people are wearing Xixia warrior uniforms, they look like masters of Yipintang!"

There were more than 20 to 30 corpses at the scene, with no one alive. No trace of Huang Sixi's "Lingbo Weibu" could be found anywhere.

Tong Lao guessed that when Huang Sixi chased here, he must have climbed over the nearby mountains and chased into the forests.

She looked around the valley, then suddenly stood up and leaped towards the hill on the left.

'Bang! Bang!' sounds.

I saw more than ten warriors rolling down from the top of the mountain, and they were all dead when they reached the foot of the mountain.

When Tong Lao came down from the top of the mountain, she was holding a middle-aged man in a bright red brocade robe.

This man was captured by Tong Lao, but he had no idea that he was a prisoner. He shouted loudly: "I am Helian Tieshu, the prince of Xixia, and I am the general who conquers the east. When I was in Bianliang, the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor had to pay their respects to me properly. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will ask the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor to chop off your heads and exterminate your entire clan!"

Tong Lao smiled grimly: "Prince Xixia?"

She reached out and pulled out the long sword from Fu Minyi's waist, then slashed with her backhand, and Helian Tieshu's left arm fell to the ground.

Helian Tieshu immediately howled like a pig being slaughtered.

He felt pain for a while, and then Tong Lao pressed his acupoints and asked him, "Did a foreign monk run over there just now?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Helian Tieshu no longer had any trace of arrogance and answered honestly: "The first one to come was a foreign monk, holding a pretty boy in his left hand and a young girl in his right hand. He was very skilled in martial arts and kicked the old...the master of my Yipintang ten feet away and kicked him to death. I didn't dare to provoke him, so I let him go!"

"and after?"

"Later, a swordsman with a sword on his back came. His martial arts skills were even better than that foreign monk. He killed two masters of my Yipintang with one palm strike. I didn't dare to provoke him and was about to let him go. He suddenly stopped and asked me: 'Are you from Xixia Yipintang?' I nodded, and he started to kill people. I couldn't defeat him, so I ran to the top of the mountain and hid!"

It turned out that hiding was not safe either, as he was caught by Tong Lao again.

This time Helian Tieshu was on a diplomatic mission to Bianliang. He was the commander of the Yipintang of Western Xia and specialized in dealing with martial arts masters. After paying homage to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he was not in a hurry to return to Western Xia, but stayed in the Song territory to spy on the strength of the Central Plains martial arts world.

When Helian Tieshu learned that the Beggars' Sect was a major pillar of the Central Plains martial arts world, he went to the sect's Luoyang headquarters first, but found nothing. He learned that the Beggars' Sect leader, Qiao Feng, went south to Gusu to investigate the murder of deputy leader Ma Dayuan, so he also rushed to Jiangnan, ready to challenge Qiao Feng to a fight.

This time when he went south, Helian Tieshu not only led the masters of Xixia Yipintang, but also carried the highly poisonous "Beisu Qingfeng". He learned that the members of the Beggar Gang were gathering in the apricot forest, so he ambushed outside the forest, intending to wait for an opportunity to release "Beisu Qingfeng" to wipe out the Beggar Gang.

Unexpectedly, before Helian Tieshu could take action, he encountered Huang Sixi first.

If Huang Sixi had not been anxious to catch up with Jiumozhi, Helian Tieshu would definitely not be alive today.

After listening to Helian Tieshu's story about Huang Sixi's situation, Tong Lao pressed Helian Tieshu's acupuncture points in mid-air and said, "Go back and tell the Queen Mother of Xixia that her granddaughter is in my hands. If you want her granddaughter to live, come to Leigushan to find me!"

Helian Tieshu knew the Queen Dowager of Western Xia, but how could the Queen Dowager's granddaughter be in the hands of this dwarf when she was living well in the palace?
He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't say anything.

"I promise to deliver the message without missing a single word!"

He said and left quickly.

When he was far away, Fu Minyi asked Tong Lao: "My Lord, are we not going to chase the young master?"

Tong Lao looked ahead and said, "There are only barren mountains ahead. Once the Tibetan monk and Xiao Ah Si enter the mountains, it will be difficult to track them. Instead of wasting time in the mountains, we should go and do other things first! I will take this girl to Leigushan Mountain, and you stay here and wait for Xiao Ah Si!"

Wang Yuyan noticed that Tong Lao no longer called her a little bitch, and wondered if it was related to Wuyazi who lived in seclusion on Leigushan Mountain?

When she thought of this, Tong Lao told the maid beside her: "This girl's face is seriously injured. Apply medicine to her and then we can set off!"

Tong Lao originally planned to take Wang Yuyan hostage and go to Mantuo Villa to capture Li Qingluo, but now she has changed her mind. She plans to go to Leigushan to meet Wuyazi first.
