Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

Abbess Miejue gently stroked Zhou Zhiruo's head and spoke softly.

"It's not your fault...it's not your fault...it's all because your master was useless and failed to protect you and your fellow disciples, which gave those scoundrels an opportunity to take advantage..."

Zhou Zhiruo cried, "Master, I was forced into this by him, I deserve to die, I am willing to accept the punishment..."

Extinction shook her head and said, "Zhiruo, you are kind-hearted, I understand your thoughts."

"You did nothing wrong, you did the right thing."

"My Emei sect is not as famous as Wudang or Shaolin, but it has been passed down for more than a hundred years."

"The founder of Emei, Yue Yinping, established the sect in order to drive out the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Han people's rule."

"Unfortunately, our Emei sect is small and weak, and each generation is worse than the last."

"We will never achieve our goal of destroying the Yuan dynasty."

"I am incompetent. If the Emei lineage were to end in my hands, I would be a sinner against Emei."

"You've endured humiliation and hardship to preserve the legacy of Emei; that's rare. I've made a decision about you..."

At this point, Abbess Miejue paused and asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, would you like to hear about the past of Emei?"

"My disciple wishes to hear."

Zhou Zhiruo answered respectfully.

Then, Abbess Miejue began to tell the story of Emei.

The founder of Emei was not Guo Xiang, but Yue Fei's daughter, Yue Yinping.

Before his death, Yue Fei forged the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

He gave the Heaven Sword to his daughter and the Dragon Saber to his son.

After Yue Fei was murdered, his son Yue Yun also died, and the Dragon-Slaying Saber thus entered the martial arts world.

Yue Yinping survived and later wandered the martial arts world.

Disheartened, she founded Emei, hoping that future generations could overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty.

Only then did Zhou Zhiruo realize that Emei was carrying this important responsibility.

Zhou Zhiruo was upset, but she quickly decided to tell Miejue Shi the truth.

She said, "Master, the Heaven-Reliant Sword is broken."

"The Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are both here with me."

After saying that, he took out the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and handed them to Abbess Miejue.

Abbess Miejue took the manual from Zhou Zhiruo, carefully examined it, and after confirming it was correct, asked directly, "Why is the Heaven Sword broken?"

"Zhao Qing cut them in half with the Long Rainbow Sword, and he also gave them these two manuals."

"He said my current martial arts skills weren't good enough to take revenge, so he gave me the secret manual. He also said..."

Zhou Zhiruo hesitated at this point.

Seeing her hesitate, Abbess Miejue immediately urged, "What did he say?"

"He said his Crimson Fire Divine Skill has been made public, and I can learn it if I want, Master, what do you think..."

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Miejue said solemnly, "Zhiruo, you must now bring glory to Emei, drive out the Yuan people, and avenge the blood feud of Emei!"

"All three things are difficult. The Crimson Fire Divine Skill is an evil skill, but it is indeed the fastest martial art to learn."

"Therefore, I allow you to learn!"

Abbess Miejue took off her thumb ring and handed it to Zhou Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, this is the token of the Emei Sect leader."

"I am now passing the leadership to you; you are the new sect leader."

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly shook her head: "Master, I can't... I'm not worthy..."

Abbess Miejue's face darkened, and she shouted sternly, "Zhiruo, you are not allowed to refuse!"

"I'm old and incompetent. I've suffered such a humiliation today, I have no face to live on."

"You are young and promising, with outstanding talent. I will pass on all the knowledge I have learned in my life to you."

"If you don't answer, I'll die with regrets!"

Zhou Zhiruo was too frightened to speak, but she dared not disobey her master.

Abbess Miejue then said, "Zhiruo, you must promise me one thing."

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said, "Master, please give me your instructions, and I will do as you say."

Zhou Zhiruo cried, feeling completely powerless.

She knew that her master was determined to die, but he could neither stop Miejue nor save her life.

We could only watch helplessly as Extinction died, and then follow her last words.

Extinction said, "You must promise me you won't fall for that bastard surnamed Zhao!"

"Master... how... how could this disciple possibly fall for him?"

Zhou Zhiruo immediately denied it.

She now hates Zhao Qing to the core. Why did Master say that?

Extinction explained: "That bastard surnamed Zhao is very cunning. You are too naive to be fooled by him."

"Yes, that bastard is extremely wicked, but he's very skilled at seducing women, so I have to be wary of him."

Zhou Zhiruo felt that her master was right, and she vowed, "Master, I swear I will never fall in love with that guy surnamed Zhao."

"If I break my oath, may I be struck by lightning!"

Abbess Miejue was relieved to see that Zhou Zhiruo had made a solemn vow.

She affectionately patted Zhou Zhiruo's head and said, "I believe you."

"Alright, I have no more worries. I'm entrusting the Emei Sect to you."

"Zhiruo, I'm leaving. Don't be too sad. Remember your responsibilities!"

After saying that, Abbess Miejue gathered all her inner strength and slammed her palm down on the top of her head.

The force of this palm strike was immense; the skull and brain matter shattered instantly, and Abbess Miejue died on the spot, bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Master!"

Zhou Zhiruo tightly embraced Abbess Miejue's gradually cooling body, heartbroken and crying loudly.

three days later.

Wudang Mountain.

"Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect requests an audience with Master Zhang!"

"Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect requests an audience with Master Zhang!"

Zhou Zhiruo knelt in front of the Wudang Mountain gate and shouted loudly.

Soon, Wudang disciples appeared and took her up the mountain.

Inside the main hall of Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng stands facing the statue of Zhenwu the Great.

"Grandmaster, Senior Sister Zhou from the Emei Sect has arrived."

Zhang Sanfeng turned around and waved for his disciples to leave.

When Zhou Zhiruo tried to kneel, Zhang Sanfeng immediately stopped her.

"It's been so many years, you've grown up."

Zhang Sanfeng said to Zhou Zhiruo with a smile.

Zhou Zhiruo felt a warmth in her heart; Zhang Sanfeng still remembered her.

It was Zhang Sanfeng who sent her to Mount Emei.

"Master Zhang, I have come here with a request!"

Zhou Zhiruo said, her eyes red.

Zhang Sanfeng asked, "Are you here to have this old Taoist priest get rid of Zhao Qing?"

"Master Zhang knows?" Zhou Zhiruo asked in surprise.

"I understand, but eliminating Zhao Qing will not be easy, so I have issued a call to arms, inviting heroes from all over the world to join me in eliminating this villain."

Zhou Zhiruo frowned and asked, "With Master Zhang's martial arts skills, is it really impossible for him to kill Zhao Qing?"

Zhang Sanfeng sneered: "In a one-on-one fight, I don't even need to lift a finger; the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Ming Dynasty can handle him."

"But Zhao Qing is not alone; behind him is the entire Ruyang Prince's Mansion and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty!"

Zhou Zhiruo immediately understood.

Indeed, even ten Zhao Qings wouldn't be a match for Zhang Sanfeng in a one-on-one fight.

However, Zhao Qing had the backing of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, so if Zhang Sanfeng wanted to kill him, he would have to deal with the court's influence, which was indeed difficult.

Zhang Sanfeng then asked, "How did you escape?"

Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head, bit her lip, and then told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng flew into a rage and smashed a large pillar in the hall with a single palm strike.

Zhang Sanfeng really got angry, and Zhou Zhiruo was scared.

Zhang Zhenren's angry appearance is indeed frightening.

"Girl, this is a difficult matter for you, but I must ask you: are you willing to expose Zhao Qing's crimes before all the heroes of the world?"
