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

Chapter 188: Going to Qiongshan (Part )
September 8th, the eve of Double Ninth Festival.

The Qiongshan Sect is extremely lively because tomorrow is the day for the funeral of the old leader of the Qiongshan Sect, Bai Qiliao, and today is the day the Qiongshan Sect holds the funeral.

Although Bai Qiliu passed away, no one has forgotten about him, because the Qiongshan Sect is still the largest sect in Mobei. Although the leader Lin Duanyun is young, he is also a recognized top master in the Mobei martial arts world. He ensures that the Qiongshan Sect remains prosperous and has unlimited potential. Its future achievements are likely to surpass Bai Qiliu.

Therefore, martial arts forces from all sides rushed to Bai Qiliu's funeral, with the latest arrival being today. It was very lively and could be called a martial arts event.

Lin Duanyun had been busy welcoming guests since before dawn, and had barely had a break. His wife, feeling truly distressed, insisted that he rest for a while, and the surrounding Qiongshan Sect leaders also agreed.

Because they all knew that Lin Duanyun was not just tired today, he had hardly rested in the entire period, and he had been busy with this funeral. He was not only Bai Qiliao's son-in-law and last disciple, but also the head of the Qiongshan Sect. This funeral also affected the reputation of the Qiongshan Sect to some extent. Therefore, Lin Duanyun was constantly worrying about every detail.

After being persuaded by his wife and fellow disciples, Lin Duanyun had no choice but to agree to rest, and dragged his exhausted body to a villa on the mountain.

However, upon entering the room, Lin Duanyun's demeanor changed dramatically, his so-called decadence and fatigue completely vanishing. As he closed the door, an ordinary, unremarkable middle-aged man emerged from behind the screen. It was none other than Lin Duanyun's housekeeper. The housekeeper stepped out and bowed, saying, "Master, we haven't heard from Shi Tao and the other two yet. Also, the men who were responsible for ambushing Yang Tingyun and Qin Tie have returned, but they didn't dare act. Qin Tie and Yang Tingyun must have been frightened by Ke Wenshui's incident. They brought over a hundred men with them, but they didn't find an opportunity to strike until they reached Qiongshan."

Lin Duanyun waved his hand and said, "Qin Tie and Yang Tingyun are fine. If I can't kill them, forget it. I'll go and kill them myself when the time comes. However, if there's no news from old monk Jingkong, then something must be seriously wrong. We must prepare for the worst."

The housekeeper's expression changed drastically. "Master, are you saying that if Master Jingkong was rescued, it's very likely that your identity will be exposed?"

Lin Duanyun said in a deep voice, "It's not just about being exposed. I'm worried that he might have already quietly come to Qiongshan and wait for the entire martial arts world to arrive, so that he can expose my identity in public at my master's funeral."

The housekeeper asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"

Lin Duanyun said coldly, "Why panic? At this point, whether you stick your head out or hide it, you'll be killed. Besides, there's no guarantee that the old monk will come. If it really comes to that, then I have no other choice but to prepare to fall into evil! Go and gather everyone for me. If the old monk Jingkong shows up, be prepared to kill them all."

The housekeeper said worriedly, "Master, almost half of Mobei's masters have gathered here today. If they really start a massacre, you'll be in danger..."

Lin Duanyun said helplessly, "Can I still run away now? If I run, I'll be admitting my guilt. Then, once that old monk steps forward, I'll be hunted down by the entire Jianghu. So, I might as well kill him today. Besides, I've already made preparations."

As he spoke, Lin Duanyun reached out and pressed on the wall. The wall parted, revealing a keyhole. Lin Duanyun said, "I have buried a lot of explosives in the Qiongshan Sect. Once that old monk Jingkong shows up, you will go to the tunnel and ignite the explosives. I will turn Qiongshan upside down."

After saying that, Lin Duanyun took out a key and handed it to the old housekeeper.

"So, Master, you've already made preparations," the butler said as he took the key. "But, Master, although explosives are extremely powerful, they won't have much effect on martial arts masters."

Lin Duanyun's lips curled slightly, a faint smile spreading across his lips. He sauntered over to the window and gently pushed it open a crack. Instantly, a majestic and magnificent scene came into view. From the hillside of Qiongshan Mountain, a massive, solitary rock peak rose from the ground, like a giant dragon, long dormant, suddenly soaring into the sky. This peak was Qiongshan's greatest feature—a pillar tens of feet high, supporting the heavens.

This towering pillar, shrouded in jagged rocks and crisscrossed with stone veins, looks as if carved by the hand of time. It breaks through the clouds from the mountainside and pierces the sky, seemingly poised to break through them. The mountain wind whistles past, and the clouds and mist swirl around it, only accentuating its majestic grandeur. It seems the sole ruler of this world, standing firm despite the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life.

Lin Duanyun pointed at the pillar that held up the sky and said loudly, "Look at this pillar, it's so majestic and imposing. If it were to fall, do you think anyone in this world would be able to stop it? What Mobei Jianghu? What Ten Great Masters? What are they compared to Tian Qing?"

The butler understood Lin Duanyun's plan very well. He bowed solemnly and said nothing more.

……

As noon approached, Qionshan became more and more lively, with the sound of singing rituals rising one after another.

The Qiongshan Sect Square was bustling with people, and three or four hundred tables were not enough to seat everyone. However, those outside were all ordinary people from the martial arts world, or ordinary disciples from various sects. The truly famous people from the martial arts world were all welcomed into the main hall.

Lin Duanyun didn't rest for too long before coming out again, because the martial arts celebrities in the Mobei martial arts world began to arrive one after another. As the head of the Qiongshan School, Lin Duanyun had to come out to entertain the guests. There was nothing he could do about it.

Although Lin Duanyun is not very old, he is able to become the head of the Qiongshan School. Naturally, he is a very versatile person. He moves among various major sects and martial arts celebrities. He is very polite and there is nothing to find fault with him.

In the main hall,

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong sat at the same table with Han Xiren, the head of the Tongshan Sect. After all, they were both from the Jianghu, and attending the funeral of a renowned martial artist wasn't the right place to be with the Six Gates.

So, when we arrived at the border of Qiongshan,

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong separated from the Six Gates and happened to meet people from the Tongshan School who came to attend the funeral.

As the first martial arts sect to openly support the Mobei Six Gates, the Tongshan Sect is currently in a honeymoon period with the Six Gates. Han Xiren has personally visited the Six Gates several times. When he learned that Gu Mo lived in the Six Gates, he went to visit him specifically, so they knew each other.

So, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong followed Han Xiren to Qionshan.

Han Xiren, the head of the Tongshan Sect, one of the eight great Mobei sects, was a prominent figure in the Mobei underworld. Gu Mo, on the other hand, was a renowned Yunzhou hero and one of the ten great masters of the Qian Kingdom. The two of them, arriving together, were naturally warmly welcomed by the Qiongshan Sect, who specially arranged for veteran masters like Yang Tingyun and Qin Tie to sit at the same table with Gu Mo. The hall was bustling with activity.

They are all people from the underworld. When they get together, they will inevitably flatter each other or talk big. Moreover, people from the underworld have always been very bold and dare to make fun of even matters related to their family and country.

At a certain moment,

Several Qiongshan Sect disciples hurriedly ran into the hall. The leading disciple approached Lin Duanyun and whispered, "Master, the Six Gates have arrived. Supervisor Zhuo Qingfeng, Captain Zhong Lianshan, and Deputy Captain Chen Yin are all here!"

Lin Duanyun's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked, "How many people did you bring?"

The disciple said, "There aren't many people, only about a dozen."

A strange light flashed in Lin Duanyun's eyes, and he quickly turned around and bowed to the martial arts masters in the hall, saying, "My fellow Taoists, Lord Zhuo Qingfeng, the Supervisor of the Six Gates of Mobei, has arrived with Captain Zhong Lianshan and Deputy Captain Chen Yin. I need to go and greet them. I apologize for being so absent!"

Immediately, someone said, "Master Lin, please go and receive the guests!"

"Master Lin, please do as you please. Don't worry about us!"

"..."

Lin Duanyun bowed and turned to leave.

However, at this moment,
Outside the hall, a cold voice was heard: "Master Lin, there is no need to bother. I am already here!"

The sound was like an icy spike breaking through the wind, carrying with it a powerful internal force that pierced the hall. The sound was so clear and passionate that it made the eardrums of everyone inside the hall buzz. The many guests present, whether they were heroes or children of famous families, were involuntarily shuddered and subconsciously turned their heads to look outside the hall.

A group of more than a dozen men, dressed in dark blue uniforms embroidered with the Six Gates' distinctive insignia, with sharp blades hanging from their waists, rushed towards them with vigorous and aggressive steps. The leader, with a glare like lightning and a fierce aura emanating from his body, his clothes rustling as he walked, was none other than Zhuo Qingfeng, the Six Gates' Inspector. Beside him were Zhong Lianshan and Chen Yin.

The people from the Six Gates entered the hall and stopped abruptly, bringing up a gust of wind, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little depressing.

Lin Duanyun hurried forward and prepared to salute, but Zhuo Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Master Lin, there's no need for such empty talk. I'm not here today to offer condolences or visit you. I'm here to ask Master Lin to accompany me to the Six Gates. You're suspected of a case."

Lin Duanyun bowed and said, "Master Zhuo, I will cooperate with the Six Gates in their investigation. However, tomorrow is the day of my master's burial. Could I escort my master to the mountain before going to the Six Gates with Master Zhuo?"

Zhuo Qingfeng directly refused: "No."

"Fuck you, Six Gates!"

Immediately, a burly man with a curly beard smashed a wine jar onto the ground. With a clang, the jar shattered instantly. The man shouted angrily, "Master Bai is going up the mountain tomorrow, and you, the Six Sects, are going too far by coming here to arrest him today. Why didn't you come earlier or later? Why did you insist that Master Lin not even be able to see Master off for the last time?"

"Yes."

"You six sects are going too far!"

"Can you please have some morals? The Six Sects acted like this. Do they really think we Mobei martial artists are heartless?"

"..."

For a moment, the crowd in the hall was excited, and the Six Gates instantly became the target of public criticism.

Zhuo Qingfeng remained calm, channeling his inner energy and speaking loudly, "As the saying goes, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. It's okay if we don't go to the Six Gates. I'll do something for Sect Leader Lin, and Sect Leader Lin should also do something for me. How about we discuss the case in front of all the martial arts heroes today? If Sect Leader Lin is innocent, then we can peacefully hold Sect Leader Bai's funeral, and we, the Six Gates, won't bother you anymore. How do you think?"

Zhuo Qingfeng looked around at everyone in the hall and asked, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

For a moment, no one objected.

After all, the Six Gates are not pushovers and have already made a concession. If they continue to object, they will be asking for more.

Lin Duanyun bowed and asked, "Master Zhuo, what case do you want to investigate?"

"Zombie Case!"
