Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

What broke was naturally Shuai Yifan's sword.

Jiang Fengyue's sword shot into the sky, already aimed at Shuai Yifan's head. But then his wrist twitched slightly, and the sword moved accordingly, ultimately only shaving off a few strands of Shuai Yifan's hair.

Jiang Fengyue said, "If Senior Shuai Yifan could integrate sword energy into his sword moves, perhaps he could exchange a few blows with me."

The five people whose identities were revealed were all shocked, because these people of status should not have made things difficult for the younger generation here, especially since they had already been defeated.

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly: "Not only did you fail to withstand three moves from Xiao Jiang, but you couldn't even last one move. What face do you have to set up an array here and kill people?"

Fearing her identity would be exposed, Xiong Niangzi hurriedly fled, and Huang Lu chased after her.

The remaining four people stood silently, unable to utter another word.

The muscles on the sickbed of the elderly Li Guanyu seemed to tremble, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes, as if he had been awakened by Jiang Fengyue's astonishing sword energy.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Yuhan's face darkened, and he said, "The sword formation has been broken, my father's wish has been fulfilled, please leave."

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "When we wanted to leave, you wouldn't let us go, but now I don't plan to leave."

Li Yuhan frowned and said, "My father is seriously ill, and he spent a lot of time and energy watching a great battle today. Please do not stay here and disturb him."

Jiang Fengyue said, "I just want to see how Elder Li will react when he wakes up and sees his unfilial son like you."

After speaking, Jiang Fengyue arrived at Li Guanyu's bedside, put the muscle-relaxing pill into his mouth with her left hand, and gently patted his chest with her right hand to make him swallow it.

Liu Wumei exclaimed in shock, "What did you do to that old man?"

Shuai Yifan and his group rushed over. Shuai Yifan said, "Our swords may not be as good as yours, but if you dare to touch Li Guanyu, we will risk our lives to stop you."

Li Guanyu on the bed suddenly moved, his whole body twitching, his eyelids trembling slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Jiang Fengyue shouted, "What are you all standing there for? You four, hurry up and guide the true energy within his body!"

When Shuai Yifan and the other three saw that Li Guanyu's condition had improved, they were overjoyed and dared not be negligent in the slightest. The four of them sat around the bed and slowly guided the true energy in Li Guanyu's body back onto the right track.

Li Yuhan was both delighted and alarmed. He was delighted that his father's illness was improving, but alarmed that if his father woke up, his conspiracy would be exposed.

Liu Wumei gave him a wink and pulled him to escape.

Jiang Fengyue, however, stood in their way with her sword drawn, and said in a deep voice, "Your father is about to recover, and instead of helping, you're leaving at a time like this?"

The couple had no choice but to obediently lower their heads and stand aside, not daring to make any further moves.

Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang, old friends, had a lot to talk about when they met. They shared their experiences over the past few days. When Chu Liuxiang heard that the leader of the organization behind Yidianhong was Xue Yiren's younger brother, he was shocked.

Half an hour later, Li Guanyu slowly woke up, and his first words were something no one could have predicted.

He angrily shouted at Li Yuhan, "You unfilial son, come and kneel down!"

Shuai Yifan and the others didn't understand why Li Guanyu was so angry, and Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were also puzzled.

Li Yuhan pulled Liu Wumei to Li Guanyu's bedside and knelt down.

Li Guanyu slapped Li Yuhan hard across the face and shouted, "What sins has my Li family committed to give birth to such a thing as you? You should kowtow to Chu Xiangshuai and Young Master Jiang and admit your mistake."

Li Yuhan kowtowed several times to Jiang Fengyue and Chu Liuxiang, and said with a sob, "All of this was my plan. I wanted to kill Xiang Shuai. I am willing to atone with my death. Please spare Wu Mei."

Only then did everyone realize that Li Guanyu had never intended to set up a sword formation or find someone to break it. Li Yuhan had simply been playing them for fools. His initial goal was to kill Chu Liuxiang.

Shuai Yifan and the other three were filled with shame and lowered their heads.

Chu Liuxiang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What grudge do I have against you?"

Li Yuhan said, "Xiang Shuai became famous at a young age and is highly skilled in martial arts. I was momentarily jealous and that's why I was determined to kill him."

Liu Wumei then shouted, "Enough!"

Li Yuhan shouted, "Eyebrowless, you have no right to speak here!"

Liu Wumei shouted, "I've said enough! You don't have to take all the blame for me. It all started because of me. If anyone's going to die, it's me. I was already a dead man to begin with."

Chu Liuxiang was moved and asked, "So you're the thrush?"

Liu Wumei said sternly, "I am the thrush, the thrush that led you all the way to Yongcui Manor to your death. Kill me."

Liu Wumei added, "I almost forgot that Xiang Shuai never kills people. If that's the case, then I'll do it myself."

After saying this, Liu Wumei picked up a sword from the ground and slit her throat.

But another sword stopped it; Jiang Fengyue's sword could knock down any sword in the world that could hurt people.

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Chu Liuxiang won't kill you, nor will he watch you die, simply because you are Shi Guanyin's illegitimate daughter, Wuhua's half-sister, and your real name is Wusi."

Chu Liuxiang stammered, "No flowers, no thoughts... Alas!"

Liu Wumei stared at Jiang Fengyue in shock, exclaiming, "What did you say?!"

Jiang Fengyue said, "I told you that you are not only a disciple of Shi Guanyin, but also her illegitimate daughter, you just didn't know it."

If Qu Wurong were here, she would definitely recognize Liu Wumei, who grew up with her, from the very beginning.

Liu Wumei smiled bitterly and said, "It is true that I am a disciple of Shi Guanyin, but I could never be her daughter."

Liu Wumei's smile grew increasingly wretched, even more so than a mournful one. She said, "Do you know why I was determined to kill Chu Liuxiang?"

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and asked, "Why?"

Liu Wumei said, "It's because I've been poisoned. There's only one person in the world besides Shi Guanyin who can cure this poison. She said that as long as I kill Chu Liuxiang, she'll give me the antidote."

Chu Liuxiang was moved and asked, "So the person who poisoned you was Shi Guanyin?"

Liu Wumei smiled bitterly, "When I asked Shi Guanyin to leave the desert, she readily agreed. Only after I left did I discover that she had poisoned the wine she gave me as a farewell gift."

Liu Wumei continued, "This poison won't kill me immediately, but it feels like a venomous snake is crawling inside my intestines, and its fangs are biting my heart. I know that Shi Guanyin wants me to go back and beg her for the antidote."

Jiang Fengyue said, "Of course you didn't go back."

Liu Wumei said, "I don't want to go back to being her slave. Although there is no antidote, I have a way to stop the pain."

Jiang Fengyue asked, "Poppies?"

Liu Wumei recalled painfully, "Yes, I secretly hid a box of white powder extracted from poppies. I relied on this to get out of the desert."

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "And so you became a slave to poppies."
