The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 126 The Death of the Thrush (11 words daily bonus for new subscribers)

"Isn't this just pure showing off?"

Fang Yunhua almost burst out laughing at Shangguan Cangxing's words.

In response to the puzzled looks from others, Shangguan Cangxing explained earnestly.

"This thing is called Thrush, right? And then she shaved off all the people's eyebrows. You say murder is murder, even torture is no big deal, but why did she have to go through all this trouble and show off like this?"
All I can think of is showing off, but the methods are a bit crude.

It wasn't nearly as smooth as when Brother Fang put it on."

Fang Yunhua rolled her eyes at the other person.

In reality, he didn't know what Liu Wumei was thinking. Her character was in great conflict between this chapter and the next, and in the end, she was indirectly whitewashed because of a twisted love story.

Although Liu Wumei died a tragic death in the end, looking at these strangely shaped corpses now, he suddenly felt that the way the other party was tortured to death according to the original plot line had a sense of karmic retribution.

The group then continued on their way.

Along the way, we saw all sorts of corpses, not only the young girls who had sought refuge under Shi Guanyin's tutelage, but also the male concubines who had been discarded by Shi Guanyin after she had grown tired of them.

The main point is to leave no one alive, even earthworms can be split open vertically.

"It's so brutal."

Shangguan Cangxing clicked his tongue in amazement, and then turned the corpses over to see if their eyebrows had also been shaved off.

The result, naturally, is a very smooth forehead, paired with even smoother brow peaks.

“If nothing unexpected happens, we should run into them if we continue forward,” Yuan Suiyun suddenly said. Based on the time it took them to enter the camp, and considering how much effort it took for them to kill someone, he could guess that the two sides would inevitably meet.

"And then?" Fang Yunhua tilted his head to look at Yuan Suiyun. "Although my right arm is still a bit sore, Brother Bao still has some internal injuries from being hit by that big slut's palm, and you and Shangguan have only recovered about 60 or 70% of your internal strength."

However, comparatively speaking, the four of us still maintain at least 60% of our combat strength.

If we join forces, unless we encounter the Jellyfish Yin Ji, or Old Man Xue, oh right, and that meddlesome Master Tie, who else could stop us?

Yuan Suiyun thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Indeed, there is nowhere they cannot go in their current camp, and after joining forces to kill Shi Guanyin, the four of them have all improved in terms of their spiritual realm and their belief in victory.

Gu Long's martial arts world is a world that emphasizes the power of the 'heart'. Spiritual will is a tangible thing. Why do so many masters challenge the strong? It is to break through the shackles of the mind and consolidate and strengthen their fighting will.

Without a doubt, if the four of them, now fully recovered, were to fight Shi Guanyin again, they would most likely be able to kill her without resorting to disfiguring her to provoke her and then using Chu Liuxiang as bait to lure her into revealing a weakness.

The current quartet is truly terrifyingly strong.

Even someone like Brother Bao, who hasn't made any progress in a long time, felt that going back into seclusion for a while would give him a deeper understanding and breakthrough in the application of killing intent.

Immediately, the four of them relaxed considerably, except for Huangfu Gao, who had been leading the way, and Liu Yanfei, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, who remained somewhat nervous.

"This direction leads to the treasure vault of the Stone Guanyin," Liu Yanfei said after receiving the information from Huangfu Gao.

"There's the sound of fighting ahead." Yuan Suiyun, with the most acute hearing, was the first to notice the unusual situation.

"Hey guys, let's go."

At Fang Yunhua's call, the other three used their lightness skills and disappeared from Huangfu Gao and Liu Yanfei's sight in an instant.

The two of them, however, calmly chose to stay where they were.

After all, Fang Yunhua's words were very reasonable. Looking at all the experts in the world, there are very few who can cause trouble for this evil quartet. In fact, in another four or five years, Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun will have reached their peak.

Even the jellyfish-like Yin Ji might be able to put up a fight.

At this moment, Fang Yunhua had already seen the two sides engaged in battle.

The person in white should be Qu Wurong, who is Zhongyuan Yidianhong's official love interest in the original storyline. However, because Wuhua is dead, Zhongyuan Yidianhong did not have the opportunity to appear in the Great Desert arc, which also resulted in him and Qu Wurong missing out on this romance.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this relationship will be nipped in the bud.

"Wow, you're so despicable."

Fang Yunhua looked speechlessly at Li Yuhan, who suddenly pulled out the Rain of Pear Blossom Nails to intimidate him. Of course, the other party was wearing a mask, so his true identity could not be seen, but for Fang Yunhua, who was reading the book, this conclusion was not difficult to reach.

Just as Li Yuhan took out the Rain of Pear Blossoms Nails, Qu Wurong was momentarily distracted, causing a flaw in her moves.

Her martial arts skills were originally on par with Liu Wumei's, and this flaw was exposed, which led to her being mercilessly stabbed to death by the opponent.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so ruthless to your fellow disciples? Oh, I forgot you've already killed a lot of them outside."

Just as Fang Yunhua was teasing Liu Wumei, the figures of Yuan Suiyun and the other two appeared behind him.

"Do you know who these two people are?" Shangguan Cangxing asked with a curious expression.

Fang Yunhua looked at Liu Wumei, whose hand suddenly trembled as she was implied to have her true colors exposed, and shook his head.

"I think that in the current situation, even if they recognize us, we should pretend not to know. This would be a good thing for both them and for us."

"Got it. Just kill all the strangers. That way it'll be easy."

Xue Xiaoren gave Fang Yunhua a very precise answer.

At this moment, the extremely decisive Li Yuhan had already activated the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nails.

A series of rapid clanging sounds, like a torrential downpour hitting bricks, followed as dozens of silver stars enveloped Fang Yunhua and his companions. However, after the four of them simultaneously used their lightness skills to disperse, these cold lights simply stuck to the ground and disappeared into the soil.

The reason why concealed weapons are concealed weapons is that they must be used in the dark.

Someone like Li Yuhan, who openly uses the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nails to intimidate others, can only bully those weaklings with poor light-footed skills.

"Tsk, using hidden weapons and adding poison, how tasteless."

Fang Yunhua reappeared behind Li Yuhan. At most, the opponent and Liu Wumei were only at the level of weaklings. Liu Wumei was a little stronger, but she was not necessarily able to defeat Hu Tiehua.

These two noobs dared to use their killer moves against three T2 players and one limited-time T1 player. Even Shi Guanyin wasn't that brave. If she hadn't been completely enraged, even someone as strong as Shi Guanyin would have thought of escaping the encirclement first.

Puff! —

The Lingxiao Sword had already pierced Li Yuhan's head, while Yuan Suiyun's powerful clapping strike had imprinted itself on his chest.

The body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The dignified young master of Yongcui Manor died in this nameless place. He probably won't have the chance to use the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nails to threaten Chu Liuxiang into suicide in the next chapter.

Upon seeing Li Yuhan's dead state, Liu Wumei's first instinct was to flee.

This did surprise Fang Yunhua, since according to the original storyline, the two were a loving couple. When Li Yuhan used Li Guanyu as a cover to lure six T2-level experts to ambush Chu Liuxiang.

This angered Li Guanyu, who was in a vegetative state, so much so that he came back to life. When Li Guanyu wanted to clean up his own house, Liu Wumei resolutely stepped forward to take the blame for all of Li Yuhan's mistakes.

Or perhaps this most valued disciple of Shi Guanyin already knew that only in this way could she secure a sliver of hope for survival.

She took advantage of Chu Liuxiang's kindness in always leaving a way out for everyone, and used this to blame all the mistakes on great love, which moved Li Yuhan so much that he wanted to commit suicide on the spot to atone for his sins.

As the sole heir of Yongcui Manor, even if Li Guanyu could be ruthless enough to eliminate this rebellious son, how could his friends, who came to his aid out of personal favor, bear to let Yongcui Manor have no successor?

After all that trouble, the matter was eventually dropped.

Unfortunately, the Wudang Sect's Grand Protector, Master Tieshan, was coerced by Li Yuhan into killing Chu Liuxiang because of Li Guanyu's favor. Naturally, he was unwilling to lay a hand on a righteous person like Chu Liuxiang, and as a result, he took the initiative to cripple his own right arm.

He claimed that he was powerless to stop others from killing Chu Liuxiang, and naturally could not personally take action against Chu Liuxiang.

The first half of this chapter's plot is enough to give you high blood pressure just thinking about it.

Immediately, Fang Yunhua looked down at the head that had rolled to his feet.

It was Xue Xiaoren and Shangguan Cangxing who made the move.

The former stopped Liu Wumei and stabbed her in the chest with a sword, while the latter slashed her with a ring blade, giving her a quick and swift decapitation.

"Sigh, I'm still a little curious." Although Shangguan Cangxing said this, he took out a tinderbox and lit Liu Wumei's corpse. Fang Yunhua then kicked the head into the flames.

Yuan Suiyun used flowing sleeves to move Li Yuhan's body inside.

We share the same bed when alive and the same grave when dead.

This result should make this loving couple very satisfied.

Although the only heir of Yongcui Manor died, it preserved its last reputation. Even if Li Guanyu could not be brought back to life by this rebellious son from his vegetative state, he would not have to spend the rest of his life feeling guilty for the debt of human kindness in the original storyline.

Liu Wumei's delusions would torment her to the point of death. Li Yuhan would feel sorry for his beloved wife when he saw her in so much pain. This way, it would all be over, and neither of them would have to continue to suffer. They could even embark on the road to hell together. How wonderful!

Sure enough, everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

“Brother Fang, from your attitude I can tell that these two must be quite famous, or one of them is definitely not an unknown person.” Yuan Suiyun was most interested in this kind of secret.

"so what?"

"If one is willing to investigate, one can still find an answer."

"Go ahead and investigate if you want, but don't forget we're accomplices now. If it causes any trouble, all four of us will have to take the blame."

Yuan Suiyun smiled but remained silent.

Xue Xiaoren nonchalantly flicked the blood beads off the sword blade.

Shangguan Cangxing stretched and, after hoisting the Dragon and Phoenix Mother-Child Rings onto his shoulder, urged Fang Yunhua to continue forward.

Fang Yunhua yawned, thinking that it should be almost dawn outside, but he still forced himself to walk forward.

None of the four said anything more about the matter, but there was a subtle sense that their relationship had become closer than before.

"Wow, they're fucking rich."

Upon entering the treasure vault, Fang Yunhua was immediately dazzled by the gold and silver treasures that caught his eye.

Thinking about it carefully, it's easy to see that this Stone Guanyin controls the key desert route and may have some private connections with the Western Regions. She specializes in robbing caravans traveling between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. This risk-free business is exactly how she can accumulate more and more wealth.

“Divide it into five portions. The four of us will each take one portion, and the remaining portion will be given to the members of the accompanying caravan for redistribution. They have contributed a lot along the way, and we will need their help to transport these treasures back.”

Fang Yunhua's suggestion was met with nods of agreement from the other three.

"Actually, before the Western Regions trade routes are reopened, we can use the relationship between the King of Kucha and Qinghuzi to jointly form a trade association and start traveling back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains."

When we get back and talk to the martial arts practitioners who came with us, some of them should join us.

Kurban and Aji would also be well-suited to be placed in this caravan.

If Situ is willing, he can also be put in charge of part of the establishment of the chamber of commerce.

This time, Fang Yunhua's suggestion was once again unanimously agreed upon by the other three.

They all understood that this was a win-win situation, and most importantly, having witnessed the entire process of the plan, they sincerely did not want to become enemies with this increasingly monstrous young sect leader in the future.

With this layer of shared interests, the friendship between them can be better maintained.

Of course, the most important point is that they all know that Young Master Fang is very good at business.

“I have some people I can assign to this caravan,” Yuan Suiyun decisively expressed his support.

“I also have some manpower, and they are quite capable.” This time, it was Xue Xiaoren who spoke. Next, he would also begin the work of whitewashing his assassin organization, mainly erasing all traces of the past.

Especially his signature assassin, "Central Plains Red," which he painstakingly created, is no longer suitable for him to show his face in public. It would be a good opportunity to let him transition through this business association.

“I don’t have enough manpower.” Shangguan Cangxing looked worried, but then he thought of his role. “I am the head instructor of the Prince An’s mansion, and I have some connections in official circles. This should be able to help the Chamber of Commerce.”

"Of course you can. The establishment of our chamber of commerce is not part of my later promises to you. Once the trade routes in the Western Regions reopen, you can each form your own teams privately. The profits involved are substantial, far more than any one family can handle."

After finalizing this matter, Fang Yunhua and the other three went to the bookshelf where the secret manuals were displayed.

Fang Yunhua casually flipped through a few books and couldn't help but curl his lips. The value of these manuals was not as good as that of Yuan Suiyun. Although the number of special moves that the other party practiced was also quite large, they all had their merits.

As for the current secret manuals, most of them are second- or third-rate junk.

However, Fang Yunhua soon found Shi Guanyin's most representative martial arts manual in a brocade box.

Men Can't Be Seen

After Xue Xiaoren and Shangguan Cangxing both leaned over, Fang Yunhua noticed Yuan Suiyun, who was still standing in the same spot. He then opened the manual and began to read it aloud.
