Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 183 The real mastermind?
Early the next morning.

In Tuoling Town, martial artists from various factions began to leave. Suxin Temple, Dadao Sect, and Hanjiang Sect, primarily organized a large group of martial artists to head towards Taohua Villa. Dadao Sect was already a handful of small and medium-sized, with the title of one of the Eight Great Sects in vain. However, Suxin Temple and Hanjiang Sect were different. Although these two factions had been ambushed and their leaders had been killed, their elite members still remained.

Now that the mastermind behind the zombie skills has been caught, they will naturally not let it go. Although they are all from a reputable and upright family, it is impossible to directly wipe out the whole family in revenge.

Although the saying "don't let your family suffer" is often just empty talk, the reputable and upright sects still have to maintain some dignity and won't resort to direct action. However, the major sects will definitely retaliate against Taohua Villa under the pretext of investigating zombies' kung fu.

Zhuo Qingfeng also led his men to Taohua Villa early in the morning.

Whether it was out of a sense of justice or to maintain the dignity of the Six Gates, he would never allow the Peach Blossom Villa to be wiped out, nor would he allow the various factions to kill innocent people in revenge. After all, although Peach Blossom Villa was Ke Wenshui's foundation, not everyone was a die-hard fan of Ke Wenshui. Many people were simply trying to make a living and earn some money at Peach Blossom Villa.

For a moment, Tuoling Town, which was very noisy the day before, suddenly fell into silence.

In the courtyard of Lujiazhuang, Chen Xiuyuan was having dinner with Gu Mo and Gu Chudong. Unlike Zhuo Qingfeng, his mission was to bring the bronze-armored corpses back to the Liushenmen Yamen. Gu Mo and Gu Chudong had not received any information about wanted criminals for the time being, so they also planned to return to Changling County. Therefore, they agreed to set off together after breakfast.

Several people were chatting while eating.

A Six Gates Constable came in and said, "Master Gu, the head of the Qiongshan Sect, Lin Duanyunlin, wishes to see you."

Gu Mo was a little confused, wondering why Lin Duanyun was looking for him instead of busying himself with the Peach Blossom Villa settlement. However, he had a good impression of Lin Duanyun, so he nodded and said, "Please come in."

After a while, Lin Duanyun walked in and said with a bow, "Master Gu, Miss Gu, General Chen, please forgive me for disturbing you!"

Gu Mo and the others bowed in return, and then Gu Mo extended his hand to invite Lin Duanyun to sit down.

Lin Duanyun bowed in thanks and slowly sat down, his eyes fixed on Gu Mo, feeling very emotional.

He knew Gu Mo, the Yunzhou Hero, and the tenth-ranked Qianguo Heavenly Ranking. He knew he was a Grandmaster. But he was also Mobei's top prodigy. At one point, among the younger generation, only Ke Wenshui could barely rival him. Later, he became the head of Mobei's largest sect, and his resources increased dramatically. Now, while still relatively young, his martial arts skills wouldn't guarantee Mobei's top spot, but he was definitely a strong contender.

He had always felt that his reputation wasn't high enough because of Mobei's isolation and unique geographical location. If he were in the martial arts world of the central region, he wouldn't be a Grandmaster, but he certainly wouldn't be far behind.

But last night's battle,
He was really shocked.

He had always believed that Gu Mo's true abilities were undeniable, but since he was still so young, his so-called achievements were likely exaggerated. But last night, with only three moves, Gu Mo quelled the zombie rebellion that so many of them had been worried about.

The first move defeated Ke Wenshui, the second move killed Ke Wenshui, and the third move killed the six bronze-armored corpses.

Those three moves kept lingering in his mind.
The whole night last night, he was thinking about one question in his mind: Is the gap between him and the Grandmaster so big?

now,

Lin Duanyun looked at the young man in front of him, who was still blind and in his early twenties. He was filled with emotion. After a long pause, he regained his composure and said, "Master Gu, I have come to interrupt you rashly because I wanted to thank you in person. If it weren't for you, Master Gu, who killed Ke Wenshui, I'm afraid the Mobei martial arts world would be in turmoil. I don't know when I can avenge my master."

Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Master Lin, there's no need to thank me. If you really want to thank someone, you might as well thank Master Zhuo and the Six Gates. I took action because of Master Zhuo's invitation and the Six Gates' request. If you really want to thank me, why not support the Six Gates' work in the future?"

"I understand." Lin Duanyun said, "This time, our Mobei Jianghu was able to escape a disaster, all thanks to you and Master Zhuo."

At this point, Lin Duanyun paused, then continued, "Originally, I was planning to visit Master Zhuo this morning, but unfortunately, Master Zhuo went to Peach Blossom Villa. I know that you, Master Gu, are close friends. When Master Zhuo returns to the Six Gates, please convey to me that the Qiongshan Sect is willing to unconditionally accept the management of the Six Gates."

When Lin Duanyun said this, Gu Mo, Gu Chudong and Chen Xiuyuan were all stunned.

They were all well aware of the difficulty Zhuo Qingfeng faced in establishing order in Mobei with the newly established Six Gates. At the same time, they were also well aware of the Qiongshan Sect's position within the region. If the Qiongshan Sect offered their support, Zhuo Qingfeng's Six Gates would be one step closer to successfully establishing order within the Mobei underworld, and half of the biggest challenge would be resolved.

Gu Mo took a sip of porridge and slowly said, "What's the reason, Sect Leader Lin?"

Lin Duanyun sighed and said, "After seeing you, Master Gu, take action last night, I finally realized that I've been looking at the world from a narrow perspective. With your help, Master Zhuo's success in establishing the Six Gates is simply an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped.

Secondly, I personally agree with the Six Gates coming to Mobei to establish order in the martial arts world. Mobei is too chaotic right now, not only causing great suffering to the people, but also hindering the development of the Mobei martial arts world. If this continues, the evil will only grow while the righteous will decline, and the righteous will be suppressed by the evil. This is absolutely not what I want to see.

Third, selfishly, since I believe Master Zhuo can successfully establish the Six Gates in Mobei, I surrender first. This is most beneficial to the future development of my Qiongshan Sect. The Qiongshan Sect has reached its current level, which is already the limit of its development in Mobei. It is time for its decline. The Six Gates' suppression of the martial arts world is an inevitable trend. If the Qiongshan Sect does not want to decline, it must naturally become the Six Gates' designated leader of the martial arts world. Whether it expands beyond Mobei or maintains its position as the leading sect within Mobei, it needs the Six Gates' support."

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will convey it for you. If Lord Zhuo accepts it, he will naturally send someone to notify you when the time comes." "Thank you, Mr. Gu." Lin Duanyun hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

"But," Gu Mo asked, "Aren't you going to Taohua Villa to settle the accounts?"

"Forget it." Lin Duanyun shook his head and said, "I've already heard from the people at Peach Blossom Villa that after my master was murdered, Ke Wenshui took revenge and no trace of his body remains. I plan to go back and build a cenotaph for my master.

As for Taohua Villa, there's no need to settle accounts. Ke Wenshui is already dead, and anyone truly connected to Ke Wenshui and the zombie technique must have already fled. Going to Taohua Villa to settle accounts now would simply be a way to vent my anger. I can't stop others from taking revenge, so I can only take care of myself."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Master Lin is at a very high level."

Lin Duanyun shook his head and said, "It's not that my realm is higher, but every grievance has its perpetrator, and I don't want to implicate others."

Subsequently,

Lin Duanyun chatted with Gu Mo for a while, briefly exchanging some martial arts experiences, and then said goodbye and left.

Gu Chudong escorted Lin Duanyun out of the courtyard, then returned to the house and said, "This Sect Leader Lin is quite good. He has a good character and can see the situation clearly. I think he will definitely have great potential in the future."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "Can you judge people now?"

Gu Chudong pursed his lips and said, "Brother, do you think I'm wrong?"

Gu Mo smiled and said, "He stands at the highest position in the Mobei Jianghu, enjoying the greatest benefits of the current Mobei order, but he is not blinded by the fame and fortune in front of him. He is still able to rationally analyze the situation, make decisions and make changes. In this respect, he is already better than most people."

On this point, Gu Mo truly felt from the bottom of his heart that Lin Duanyun was a great man.

Most of the vested interests of the current order in this world, when faced with changes in the times or external shocks, only want to preserve the old order and stabilize their own position. Even if they know that the old order has problems and will collapse sooner or later, they will only pin their hopes on those who come after them, pushing it back generation after generation until it eventually collapses.

Just like all dynasties,
Many people in power are not unaware of the current problems, but they are unwilling to try to change them. After all, enjoying current benefits and taking big risks to change the order will not make them live better. The choice between the two is not difficult.

"Lin Duanyun has always had an excellent reputation in the Mobei martial arts world," Chen Xiuyuan said. "He's known for his chivalry and is a very benevolent person. Like his master, Bai Qiliao, he's always been committed to maintaining peace in the martial arts world. If the Six Gates truly need to choose a spokesperson for the martial arts world, he'd be a good fit. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. My thinking isn't advanced enough, so I often see things superficially."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with us. Tell Brother Zhuo what Lin Duanyun said today, and he will make the decision."

……

The incident in Tuoling Town caused a sensation in Mobei within a few days. The news spread very quickly because there were many gangsters in Tuoling Town that day. One person told ten people, and ten told a hundred people. Within a few days, the news spread throughout the Mobei gang.

The incident was quite a big deal: the zombie kung fu had appeared, Ke Wenshui had been killed, and the deaths of Master Jingci, Ma Qingxiong, Yuchi Feng, and Bai Qiliao, the former leader of the Qiongshan School and the foremost figure in the Mobei underworld, were all confirmed. These were all major events in the Mobei underworld.

A massive wave of activity emerged in the Jianghu to search for and kill zombies. Meanwhile, within a few days, the Qiongshan Sect sent invitations to various factions in the Jianghu, offering to build a cenotaph and hold a funeral for the former leader, Bai Qiliao.

Qingyan Ancient Post Station, Qiongshan.

As Lin Duanyun brought the news of Bai Qiliu's death back to the Qiongshan Sect, a gloomy cloud fell over the entire Qiongshan Sect. They then began to arrange the mourning hall for the funeral, and the entire Qiongshan Sect became lively. After all, it was the funeral of the old leader of the Qiongshan Sect, and all the sects in the Mobei martial arts world would come to watch and pay their respects. Naturally, the Qiongshan Sect could not hold the funeral in a shabby manner that would make people laugh.

So, at once, hundreds of people from the entire Qiongshan School took action.

At night, the Qiongshan School is brightly lit.

Lin Duanyun came to the back mountain, confirmed that there was no one around, and jumped lightly off the hundred-foot cliff. When he fell more than ten feet, he grabbed a vine, swung lightly, and entered a hidden cave.

After passing through the long and dark cave entrance, which was about 20 to 30 feet long, he took down a torch from the wall and lit it. The light of the fire illuminated the cave, and he saw a white-haired old man inside, with more than 10 iron chains piercing through more than 10 major acupuncture points on his body. The other ends of the chains were stuck in the stone wall.

The old man slowly raised his head, revealing a weathered face. It was Bai Qiliao, the old leader of the Qiongshan School, who had already been reported dead.

Lin Duanyun walked up to Bai Qiliao holding a torch and said jokingly, "Master, I succeeded. I have almost killed all the enemies who harmed my father. Not only will no one suspect me, but I will also become the leader of the martial arts world in Mobei and enjoy the admiration of thousands of people!"
