The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Just as the two were about to pour out their hearts to each other, suddenly the sound of water spinach crying came—she had been woken up and was a little frightened.

Seeing her stagger to the door, Di Yun quickly flew over and covered her eyes to prevent the bloodshed outside from frightening the child.

"Waaaaah, Mother! There's a bad person! There's a bad person!" Water Spinach struggled as her eyes were suddenly covered.

"Water Spinach! Senior brother, be gentle! Water Spinach, don't be afraid... he's not a bad person, the bad people have all been... defeated." Qi Fang didn't know how to introduce Water Spinach to him for a moment.

In the past, when she carried water spinach and prayed to Buddha, she would refer to Di Yun as "uncle," but now...

"what!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out, and Wan Zhenshan burst in.

He had just felt a sudden dizziness and his body involuntarily lost its balance—otherwise, he would never have wanted to come out!

Although he didn't know the specifics of what had happened, seeing his good disciple lying on the ground, and knowing that even though Di Yun didn't have the aura of a master, his movement technique showed that he was not to be trifled with...

Wan Zhenshan could not possibly come up with another idea. He could only wait for further consideration.

but……

Could it be that he's really too old, and that dissociative identity disorder is harming his health?

"Father-in-law!" Qi Fang instinctively panicked.

After all, she had just been thinking of leaving with her senior brother and some water spinach when her father-in-law caught them...

However, she immediately realized that she shouldn't be the one feeling guilty right now.

"Fang'er, what's going on?" Wan Zhenshan tried his best to appear authoritative.

Wu Kan, the good disciple lying on the ground, quickly said, "Master! We disciples saw someone coming towards Senior Brother and Sister-in-law's courtyard, and knowing that Senior Brother was not there, we came to check."

"You're talking nonsense! It's clearly you guys..." Qi Fang was about to explain when she saw him slandering her.

At this moment, Di Yun directly demanded, "Wan Zhenshan! Did you harm my master?"

“You are… Good! My son treated you like this, and you still have an affair with this lecherous senior brother…” Wan Zhenshan didn’t answer, and started to lead the conversation directly.

Qi Fang actually fell for this, after all, she was more like an ordinary young lady from a poor family, and as soon as she heard her father-in-law doubt her so much, she was immediately swayed by his words.

"Don't talk nonsense. You and your son framed me back then..." Di Yun was also swayed and started to argue again.

Chu Luren couldn't stand this brainless, domestic power struggle plot any longer and spoke up: "Wan Zhenshan, who did you brick into the wall back then, and who got the dissociative identity disorder from it?"

"Who's playing tricks?" Wan Zhenshan asked sternly, feeling guilty.

Facing the direction of the moonlight, a handful of white feathers floated down. Then, after a slight blur, the figure of Chu Luren appeared where the feathers had fallen, as if the feathers had formed a cloak and Chu Luren had appeared out of thin air.

These are some of the "small applications" that Chu Luren was able to do after mastering the "Secret Essentials of the Ninja Sect".

Judging from the number of fusion fragments contributed, "Ninja Sect Secrets" ranks among the top of all martial arts, but it has almost no increase in combat power.

It can't be said that it's useless...

Firstly, the "Secret Essentials of the Ninja Sect" is very strong in terms of covert operations, after all, it incorporates the "Turtle Walking Step," "Phantom Sword," and even the cunning techniques from the "Nine Yin Manual," including the Bone Shrinking Technique...

Chu Luren and Lianxing even tried it out. When Lianxing was sitting in the inn's room without being on guard, if Chu Luren deliberately tried to sneak up to the door, Lianxing would only notice him. Not only was it silent, but it also made use of the surrounding sound and light, combining the psychological effect of concealment.

If Chu Luren were to become a master thief or an assassin, he would be an absolute nightmare for others!

Secondly, in terms of public displays of power, its combination with sonic attacks is simply divine...

However, the drawback is that it cannot be used in front of experts. Otherwise, if Lianxing were present, she would have seen Chu Luren first throw out the feather using the technique of throwing hidden weapons. Then, he used the shadows of the surrounding trees and walls to cover his white feather cloak with the special sword energy derived from the Illusion Sword. At the same time, he moved somewhat "sneakily" to his position and then made his appearance at the right time!

At present, among all the houses, naturally no one can see through it—with Di Yun's martial arts skills, if one is quick-witted and has a corresponding technique to "see through" it, there is still some hope of seeing through it.

Upon seeing this appearance, which resembled a ghost... cough cough, a divine warrior, Wan Zhenshan's heart skipped a beat: "You, you are..."

"Wan Zhenshan, Wan Zhenshan, I thought someone as cautious as you would flee with your whole family as soon as you heard that Brother Di and I left the Snow Valley." Chu Luren looked at Wan Zhenshan with sarcasm, but found that the latter was stunned for a moment.

So...

This guy has no idea about this?

"So, it was Young Master Chu... I have heard that Young Master Chu rushed to the aid of the four great heroes of the South in Snow Valley. I admire you greatly, but I don't know what this matter has to do with this lecherous thief?" Wan Zhenshan had already thought of the rumors that Chu Taisui had come out of Snow Valley with a young hero surnamed Di. It seemed that the young hero was initially mistaken for the Blood Saber Lecherous Monk.

However, he had never considered Di Yun before, and had long forgotten about this "farmer" who had been framed.

Moreover, Wan Zhenshan no longer cares much about the affairs of the martial arts world. For example, he is unaware of the recent events involving the Righteous Alliance, otherwise he would not address him as "Young Master Chu".

"You lecherous scoundrel? You really won't shed a tear until you see Tao Hong. Don't worry, I've already found that concubine Tao Hong you drove away. We'll have a good talk about how you and your son framed Brother Di, and how you drove her away because of her dissociative identity disorder!"

"Young Master Chu, you are wise!" Wan Zhenshan said, looking completely wronged, and hurriedly stepped forward.

But in the next instant, as he knelt down, a bright green poisoned arrow shot out from his back—clearly a mechanism for firing crossbow bolts mounted on his back…

Even a top-notch expert could be caught off guard at this distance and could be hit. Moreover, judging from the color, it's coated with a deadly poison!

This was a life-saving technique he acquired after helping Haha'er, one of the Ten Villains, and... surviving being silenced by him.

Originally, he wanted to appease his daughter-in-law and Di Yun first, and then take the opportunity to use the crossbow to assassinate Di Yun. However, upon seeing Chu Luren, he naturally changed his target—to kill the strongest one first!

As for Di Yun? Let's wait and see!

Of course, it turned out he was overthinking it. This thing might actually hurt Di Yun, after all, that silly boy was too unguarded, but it was definitely not going to kill him. As for Chu Luren...

With a scattering of feathers, the arrow pierced through the feathers, and Chu Luren reappeared in the same spot!

"You, you..." Wan Zhenshan's lips trembled as he realized there was no hope left.

Even wicked people are afraid of death!

If it were only Di Yun, he might have knelt down and begged for mercy, but Chu Tai Sui... would begging for mercy be of any use?

Chapter 662 That's it?

Di Yun then realized, "Building a wall? Did the illness only start after that bitch framed me? Could it be... could it be that Master was... by you..."

In the original work, Wan Zhenshan did invite Qi Changfa to the banquet because of the sword manual. Qi Changfa's visit to the Wan residence directly sent his daughter and disciple into a den of wolves and tigers—of course, even if Qi Changfa knew, he wouldn't care too much.

Years ago, they killed their master, and afterwards, the three of them distrusted each other. They simply locked themselves together and studied the Tang poetry anthology that accompanied the sword manual. However, after a night of heavy drinking, the Tang poetry anthology disappeared without a trace...

The three parted on bad terms and went their separate ways. Wan Zhenshan followed Yan Daping, Yan Daping followed Qi Changfa, and Qi Changfa followed Wan Zhenshan. The three followed each other for a month before they tentatively believed that the sword manual was lost and then went their separate ways.

But what the other two didn't know was that Qi Changfa had returned to the inn where they were staying and retrieved the sword manual he had hidden in a compartment of the table...

However, because he didn't know how to decipher the secret code, Qi Changfa hadn't understood where the treasure was for many years.

The reason why Qi Changfa accepted Wan Zhenshan's invitation to the banquet was quite ironic.

Because just before Wan Zhenshan invited him, his anthology of Tang poems was lost...

This made him suspicious. As soon as he saw Wan Zhenshan inviting him, he thought that Wan Zhenshan had taken his Tang poetry anthology to test him!

But the truth is actually quite unbelievable—Qi Fang treated the booklet like an ordinary old book, using it to hold shoe patterns and cut out butterflies.

She and her senior brother would usually watch the sunrise and sunset at their "secret base," and afterwards they would leave the old book in the cave, waiting to bring it back when they made shoes.

However, Qi Changfa and his two fellow disciples were not only petty people, but also prone to "judging others by their own petty standards".

He didn't make a fuss about losing the book, nor did he mention it to his daughter or disciples, for fear that they had deliberately stolen it and were plotting to harm him!

Just like how, even at the very end, he didn't believe that Di Yun would acknowledge him as his master in the face of the treasure, just like how Ling Situi didn't believe that Ding Dian would give him the treasure because of his daughter...

In the end, Qi Changfa took his daughter and disciples from western Hunan to the three Xiang regions. Qi Fang was never able to return. The Tang poetry anthology that they longed for was left in the cave. In the original work, it was only when Di Yun revisited the place that he brought it out as a keepsake.

Qi Changfa himself was nearly killed by Wan Zhenshan—Wan Zhenshan had him embedded in a wall, but Qi Changfa miraculously survived and escaped.

It was because he discovered that the wall was loose that Wan Zhenshan thought it was a ghost, which frightened him so much that he developed dissociative identity disorder and sleepwalked every night to build the wall.

After escaping, Qi Changfa did not look for his disciples or daughter. He even watched as his daughter married the son of his enemy and his disciple was framed. He then faked his death, hoping to find out from the perspective of an "outsider" who stole his collection of Tang poems!

Wan Zhenshan and his son had been monitoring Qi Fang for many years. Seeing that Qi Changfa had not appeared, they became more inclined to believe in ghosts and spirits and did not think that Qi Changfa was still alive.

This can be seen from the fact that Qi Changfa monopolized the anthology of Tang poetry...

Of the three treacherous and vicious fellow disciples, Qi Changfa was the most insidious, managing to steal the food right under the noses of the other two.

As for Daping, although he didn't manage to keep it all for himself, he at least believed that Qi Changfa was responsible.

As for Wan Zhenshan, he was still somewhat less intelligent than these two.

However, at this moment, although Di Yun already knew that his master was not a good person, he still acknowledged him as his master.

From Brother Chu's words, Di Yun immediately became suspicious of the matter!

"Father-in-law, my father really was..."

"No, no, wait! Water spinach, look at Grandpa..." Wan Zhenshan hadn't given up on living and wanted his granddaughter to plead for him.

However, the water spinach had already been put to sleep by Chu Luren's finger force, since the scene before them was really not suitable for children.

"Did Father really die at your hands?" Qi Fang felt a bitter taste in her mouth, never expecting it to all be a lie.

"Junior sister! You take the water spinach and leave first. I will avenge Master! I will wall them up too... Brother Chu?" Di Yun was filled with murderous intent, but then felt it was a bit cruel, and glanced at Brother Chu for his opinion.

"That's it?"

Just as Chu Luren was looking down on it, there was a sudden commotion outside. A man in black threw a sack into the Wan residence. Judging from its twisted and struggling shape, it was definitely a person!

In fact, Chu Luren had also discerned a few things about the departing woman in black—she was slender and likely a woman, probably from the Qunyu Academy. Judging from her lightness skill, she wasn't particularly skilled, but that would be enough to ambush someone doing business with the Qunyu Academy.

As for what's inside the sack...

Wan Gui struggled and crawled out, presumably having had his acupoints released.

Upon realizing he was back at the Wan residence, Wan Gui initially thought his fellow disciples were plotting against him to sow discord within his family. He immediately said to Qi Fang, "Wife! Listen to me... I didn't..."

He had barely opened his mouth when he realized something was wrong. Those bastards, Wu Kan and his gang, were all lying on the ground, his father looked panicked, and…

"It's...it's you? You...you're still alive?" Wan Gui recognized Di Yun after seeing him, since Di Yun wasn't disguised at this time.

Immediately afterward, Wan Gui said, "Wife! Stay away from this lecherous thief, be careful he... ouch!"

As Wan Gui was speaking, he was slapped by Wan Zhenshan. At this moment, the old master Wan shouted angrily, "You beast! If you hadn't taken a fancy to that girl and committed so many unrighteous acts, would you have suffered this disaster today?"

Di Yun noticed his junior sister's predicament and quickly said, "Brother Chu, please take my junior sister away first. I will avenge Master later..."

Chu Luren interrupted, "It's too cheap to brick them into the walls of the Wan residence... If it were me, I would brick them into the walls of the Elephant Maiden Pavilion, with their butts facing outwards."

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhenshan and his son both felt a chill. This was Chu Taisui; surely he was capable of doing such a thing?

Di Yun had no idea: "Brother Chu, what kind of place is the Elephant Pavilion?"

"Senior brother!" Qi Fang quickly interrupted. She had been out for a long time and, unlike Di Yun, was either in prison or being hunted down, so she naturally knew more.
