The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Sixth Brother!" "Sixth Brother, wait!" Song Yuanqiao, Mo Shenggu, and others tried to persuade Yin Liting to stop.

It wasn't that they were afraid Yin Liting would kill Yang Xiao, and given their brotherly bond, they weren't worried that Yin Liting's actions would have a negative impact on Wudang. Rather, they knew that Yin Liting was no match for Yang Xiao, and Wudang couldn't gang up on him right now. Wouldn't it be suicide for Lao Liu to go alone?

"Brothers, there's no need to stop me. When we get back, tell Master... Xiao Liu is unfilial and will not be able to serve him from now on! I will settle Xiao Fu's score with him today!" Yin Liting was clearly prepared to die at Bright Peak, and only wondered if he could exchange "Heaven and Earth Together" for one.

"Xiaofu? You know my mother?" Yang Buhui asked in surprise, as she was standing right next to Yang Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Yin Liting looked at Yang Buhui, paused for a moment, and then... his sword-wielding hand trembled slightly, clearly noticing the similarities between her and Ji Xiaofu.

"Sixth Brother, let's..." Chu Luren didn't want Yin Liting to be "publicly executed" and wanted to change the subject first.

However, Yin Liting was extremely emotionally unstable at the moment. Ignoring Chu Luren's good intentions, he asked tremblingly, "You, you are... Xiaofu's daughter? What is your name?"

Chapter 637 The Tragedy of Yin Liu

Faced with Yin Liting's challenge, Yang Xiao remained silent and offered no explanation, but Yang Buhui could not bear to watch.

“That’s right! My mother is Ji Xiaofu, and she named me Yang Buhui!” Yang Buhui said, raising her chin.

In her eyes, Yin Liting might be a friend of her mother, but... it's one thing that he doesn't dare to seek revenge against Miejue, but instead he comes looking for her father? What kind of logic is that?

"No Regrets? No Regrets..." Yin Liting staggered back a few steps, looking as if he had been poisoned again: "Your mother named you No Regrets? Which 'regret' is it?"

"My mother said she had no regrets because of my father!" Yang Buhui stabbed him in the back.

"How could this be... No, no! Yang Xiao, you lecherous scoundrel, you even lied to your own daughter!" Yin Liting tried to comfort himself, thinking that it was Yang Xiao who had lied to his daughter.

"Shut up! You're not allowed to curse my father! You said you wanted to avenge my mother, so why are you looking for my father? Could it be that you're afraid to provoke the old nun Miejue, so you're taking your anger out on my father? Back then, it was this evil nun who forced my mother to secretly harm my father. My mother refused and ran away with me, but she was still caught up by this evil nun and killed by her with one palm!"

"If it weren't for Brother Wuji hiding me back then, she would have ordered her disciples to kill me too, so that you could have fulfilled your desires! You keep saying you want to avenge my mother, so go and kill her!" Yang Buhui was also very emotional when she thought of her mother's murder back then.

When Yang Buhui was only four or five years old, after Miejue killed Ji Xiaofu, she wanted to instruct Ding Minjun to eliminate the threat completely. Fortunately, Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhui were playing hide-and-seek at the time. Zhang Wuji was older and more clever, so he immediately pulled Yang Buhui to hide.

Ding Minjun did not find the two children, and Bei Jinyi could not bear it, so she deceived Miejue by claiming that she saw Yang Buhui escape from the valley, and Miejue finally gave up.

As a child, Yang Bu Hui was having a great time playing hide-and-seek when the tragedy of his mother's murder suddenly struck. This event, which had always been a source of deep sorrow for him, suddenly erupted at this moment...

Yang Buhui had tolerated this mother-killer for a long time. However, when the two sides were exchanging insults, although she grew up on Bright Peak and had some Jianghu habits, she was still just a little girl. How could she possibly get a word in edgewise in such a fierce "battlefield"?

Yin Liting was taken aback upon hearing this, as it was quite different from the truth he knew.

Yin Liting disregarded the fact that he was being executed and ignored the pleas of his fellow disciples and Chu Luren. He asked Yang Buhui in a trembling voice, "You said... your mother... your mother was a disciple of Abbess Miejue, how could she..."

Perhaps thinking of Ji Xiaofu's death, Yang Xiao's expression darkened, but he still remained silent.

Yin Liting ignored Yang Xiao at this moment, and then turned around in a daze, pointing his sword at Miejue. Song Yuanqiao quickly stopped him, at least to put his sword down first.

Yin Liting suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Zhang Wuji, and saw that he was just looking at him with concern, without refuting Yang Buhui. How could he not understand?

"Abbess Miejue! Didn't you say that Xiaofu was killed by Yang Xiao?" Yin Liting was stopped by Song Yuanqiao and Mo Shenggu, but he still questioned Abbess Miejue.

The matter was brought up again, and Miejue felt ashamed. In addition, she had just been scolded and her temper had died down. At this moment, she said in a hoarse voice: "That's right, I killed that wicked disciple! She claimed that she was kidnapped by Yang Xiao. I tolerated her for a while, but afterwards she not only gave birth to a wicked child, but I also asked her to kill the villain Yang Xiao, but she refused. She was clearly in cahoots with him!"

Back then, everyone in the martial world knew that that wicked disciple was betrothed to Yin Liuxia since childhood. I didn't tell him the truth out of consideration for Yin Liuxia's reputation! No regrets, no regrets… Yin Liuxia, don't you understand when you hear the name of this bastard? I only regret that I didn't eliminate him completely back then!

Miejue's words weren't entirely without malice. Although she was trying to save face for herself, she did indeed preserve Yin Liting's reputation by not making the matter public.

However, after saying it out loud, Yin Liting was completely distraught.

The affair between Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu was very complicated back then, and now, apart from Yang Xiao, no one knows what really happened.

Ji Xiaofu and Miejue obviously didn't tell the whole truth either. According to Ji Xiaofu's account to Miejue in the original work, when Yang Xiao met her, he was crazy. He first followed her for several days, and then kidnapped her to a cliff on a lonely mountain. She was not only trapped there for several months, but also lost her virginity to Yang Xiao. Later, when Yang Xiao had an enemy, she quietly escaped.

Judging from her attitude later on, and Yang Xiao's behavior of waiting for her at Zuowang Peak for several years afterward, a lot of romantic scenes must have been omitted.

Moreover, it should be noted that the reason why Miejue liked Ji Xiaofu the most was because she was most like herself—ruthless and resolute!

How could Yin Liting not know Ji Xiaofu's personality?

Recalling that beautiful figure from years ago, Yin Liting's memories began to reassemble. Looking at Yang Buhui, who bore a resemblance to her mother, the image of Ji Xiaofu appeared in Yin Liting's mind...

Ji Xiaofu, whom she had imagined being brutally murdered by Yang Xiao after being humiliated, covered in blood, and repeatedly urging him to take revenge in her dreams, was now dressed in plain clothes, like a married woman, sweetly saying, "I don't regret it."

Just now, Yin Liting was so excited that he had already begun to circulate his "Heaven and Earth in Harmony" technique, which stimulated his meridians and acupoints to increase his true energy. Now that he had lost his target, Yin Liting, in his distracted state, did not circulate his energy to calm himself down. Instead, he let it run its course. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!

With a shout, after shaking off Song Yuanqiao and Mo Shenggu who were blocking his way, Yin Liting first pointed his sword at Miejue, then swung it violently, yelling, "You lied to me! You've all lied to me!"

With that, he ran off...

Chu Luren winked at An Dongzhu and Sang Tugong, signaling them to quietly follow—the Mongols had already left, so Yin Liting should be out of danger.

But he's in a state of heightened emotion right now, who knows what he might do?

So I feel more at ease having someone accompany me...

Mo Shenggu was about to chase after them, but Yu Lianzhou stopped him, shaking his head and indicating that he should let Lao Liu have some peace and quiet first.

"Quickly give Shuobude the antidote, and let Shuobude go and persuade him." Zhou Dian probably thought it was quite a show, and also took the opportunity to stab his sworn brother Shuobude in the back.

"Alright! Give me the antidote first!" Shuobude said, glaring at Zhou Dian.

"No, no, we can't say anything about this monk..." Zhou Dian hesitated slightly.

Chu Luren then adopted a more formal tone and said, "Alright, since it's all a misunderstanding, our alliance will now detoxify you all. You can investigate further on your own after you return."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed—this confirmed that the matter was instigated by the Mongols, with the cooperation of a few scoundrels, which led to the two sides "killing each other."

Wu Laoda and the others took the antidote and began to detoxify the people from various sects, muttering things like, "Since you know you were instigated, our alliance will not blame you for now."

From now on, anyone who refutes this "consensus" is questioning whether the thousands of martial arts practitioners present today are only "begging for mercy" because they are afraid of death!

Chu Luren held the antidote in his hand, looked at the Ming Cult members... and first cured Shuobude of the poison.

"No, no, Alliance Leader Chu... Ah... I shouldn't have said that, I was just saying it... Ouch!"

Chapter 638 Detoxification

With so many people poisoned, detoxifying them is a complicated matter.

Especially the antidote for the "Sad Breeze" poison, the Righteous Alliance only has a few bottles of it, and the nature of the antidote means that it cannot be poured out and used in portions, but can only be smelled one by one.

It took nearly an hour just to detoxify.

Even without Chu Luren's instructions, it was clear that Boss Wu and the others treated the patients differently when administering the detoxification.

The major sects were dealt with first, but the people from Shaolin and Emei were deliberately left out!

As for the Beggars' Sect... the main elders had already secretly cured themselves of the poison, so they were just being restrained.

Most of those who were cured of the poison quickly took their leave and left without waiting for a moment longer, not wanting to get involved any more.

Only the major sects such as Songshan, Kongtong, and Kunlun remained in their original locations, seemingly wanting to observe the situation of other sects. Wudang, naturally, did not leave either.

Some were worried that the Righteous Alliance would be detrimental to Shaolin and Emei, while others were worried that the Righteous Alliance would easily let Shaolin and Emei go.

Actually, Song Yuanqiao also wanted to leave, otherwise he was afraid that this so-called alliance might bring out his master's portrait and kowtow without saying a word.

As for Emei...

The Wudang group was not only unhappy with Abbess Miejue, but they also felt that Chu Luren would not disregard the overall situation and would not actually do anything to Abbess Miejue, so they had no worries.

However, Chu Luren whispered to Song Yuanqiao and the others that there were other things to discuss later, and because of Zhang Wuji, the Wudang heroes stayed.

In the blink of an eye, the square in front of the gate was sparsely populated. The Ming Cult members temporarily retreated to the Sacred Flame Gate. Chu Luren also told Yang Xiao that they would discuss the matter with the Ming Cult in detail later.

On the one hand, the Ming Cult members wanted to avoid seeing or hearing about it, and even if they "reached a consensus," they didn't want to deal with the people from other factions. On the other hand, they also wanted to discuss internally first about Yang Dingtian's will and how to deal with Chu Luren—even if they believed that Kunlun Mountain would collapse tomorrow, they didn't believe that Chu Luren hadn't read "The Great Shift of the Universe."

So they retreated first, and Zhou Dian was also dragged back...

Only the members of the Eagle Sect remained outside. Yin Yewang had already pulled Zhang Wuji over, and the father and son began to inquire about Zhang Wuji's well-being. They hadn't had a chance to introduce Zhang Wuji to Yin Tianzheng and Yin Yewang before. Yin Yewang had met Zhang Wuji briefly at the foot of the mountain not long ago, but Zhang Wuji hadn't revealed his identity because of Zhu'er's matter, and the two had a minor conflict.

"So you're Wuji? Hahaha, good! Like uncle, like nephew. I felt there was something familiar about you before!"

"Good, good! It's good that you're alright. Let Grandpa take a look..."

"Alas, it's a pity that Susu didn't get to see you grow up so big and even master unparalleled martial arts!"

Now, the two not only show great concern for their grandson and nephew, but also reminisce about Yin Susu together. When they get emotional, all three of them burst into tears.

"You got hurt by someone just now, didn't you? There are some shady characters in the martial arts world these days..."

"That's right, they even used such a heavy hand on a young man. Luckily, my grandson is highly skilled in martial arts!"

"Back then, as soon as your parents returned, they went... and as a result... alas! They didn't even get to visit the Sky Eagle Sect. Wuji, you'd love to see the place where your mother was born, wouldn't you?"

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let them go to Wudang or that other place in the first place!"

At the same time, they treated the Wudang people like thieves, as if to say, "Wuji will come back to the Eagle Sect with us later..."

After Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu died, the relationship between the two families became very awkward. Especially after Mo Shenggu beat up the people from the Tianying Sect who came to deliver gifts, completely breaking off relations, they stopped communicating with each other for a long time.

When Yin Yewang and Yu Lianzhou met during the rescue of the Four Heroes of the South, they didn't exchange a single word. Even when they had to communicate, they would have someone else relay their message, even if they were face to face.

Regardless of the awkwardness between the two factions, Extinction refused Boss Wu's detoxification at this moment...

After all, Boss Wu didn't care whether it was Shaolin or Emei. After leaving them waiting for almost an hour, when he was about to come over, he still said, "It seems that Master Kongwen of Shaolin doesn't know that Cheng Kun is a Mongolian traitor who tricked the monk Kongjian and then infiltrated the Shaolin Temple. Well then, we'll detoxify you first!"

"Since Abbess Miejue knows she was wrong, then our Righteous Alliance is not unreasonable..."

Kong Wen remained silent, but how could Miejue swallow this insult? She directly shouted and retorted: "Insolence! You wretched creatures, you stop us from eradicating the Demonic Sect and even try to incite infighting among us righteous sects? If you have the guts, kill me today, or I will exterminate you all sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Laoda was about to explode on the spot, but the other sects quickly tried to persuade him. At this moment, A Zi's eyes lit up and she said, "Abbess Miejue, don't be so angry. I don't think Master Gu Hongzi was necessarily angered to death by Yang Xiao."

"Shut up! Don't mention my senior brother..." Miejue thought she wanted to make peace.

"If I were Daoist Gu Hongzi, and I borrowed the Heaven-Slaying Sword from a junior sister with a rather...unusual personality, hoping to defeat Yang Xiao and show off my skills, only to end up being utterly defeated, I would think it would be better to die of anger, otherwise how could I face my junior sister?"

Ah Zi seemed to be making excuses for Yang Xiao, but she was actually saying some very hurtful things—unlike the foul mouths of others, Ah Zi not only spoke with an innocent tone, but also... her assumptions were quite reasonable!

"Maybe he was thinking about the scene of seeing this junior sister, and the more he thought about it, the more choked he became, and then... hiccup—he was gone."

"you you……"

"Ah! By the way, Daoist Gu Hongzi, why do you want to challenge Yang Xiao to a duel? Does Gu Hongzi think it's important to win against Yang Xiao in front of a certain junior sister? Abbess Miejue, did you kill your disciple because she was in love with Yang Xiao? Cough cough, I didn't say anything."

Although Azi didn't finish her sentence, how could Miejue not hear the malicious speculation in her words?

"You... Pfft!" Miejue was so angry that she vomited blood.

"Shut up! Young lady, please have some self-respect!" Zhou Zhiruo, now detoxified, quickly stepped in front of Miejue and glared at Azi.

"This pretty lady, I didn't say anything, but you Emei people just like to get nervous all the time!" Azi said with a charming smile.

"So, you're an Emei disciple? Why were you also cured of the poison?" Azi asked Zhou Zhiruo curiously.
