The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Yaoyue then looked at Helu and Lianhua. Both of them had worried expressions on their faces, but at the same time they were afraid of Yaoyue and were quietly trying to back away.

Seeing the Grand Palace Master looking over, the two women were terrified, but Yaoyue then flicked her sleeve and said, "Hmph! From now on, you are no longer disciples of the Yihua Palace!"

The two women felt an irresistible force surge towards them, sending them flying. When they regained their senses and landed, they found themselves flying dozens of feet in the direction the young master had left, yet they were surprisingly unharmed.

After exchanging a glance, the two women kowtowed several times in the direction of the Palace Master, then turned and chased after Young Master Wuque...

Chu Luren then said loudly, half changing the subject and half joking, "Oh dear! Speaking of which, Yaoyue, you went to the Valley of Villains? And you knew that Master Yan was injured back then? Sigh, Master Yan must have been in a terrible state back then. Anyone could have killed him, right? It's a good thing you didn't do anything, Yaoyue..."

Yan Nantian: ...

Chapter 994 Both are flesh and blood

When Tie Xinlan saw Xiaoyuer chasing after them, she wanted to follow, but Tie Zhan stopped her and shook his head, indicating that his daughter should give the brothers some time to adjust.

Yan Nantian didn't linger. He quickly exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Luren and then left in the direction the two brothers had gone—his sworn brother actually had two sons… Afterwards, Yan Nantian planned to take the brothers to pay respects to his sworn brother and his wife.

If Yan Nantian stayed here any longer, he feared he wouldn't have enough life left to live...

The so-called "polite words" were still about remembering Chu Luren's kindness—considering that Yaoyue was still around, Yan Nantian's mood wouldn't be too good, so Chu Luren decided to invite him to join the Righteous Alliance when they met alone next time.

Yan Nantian left, and the group of martial arts practitioners who originally wanted to see Chu Luren and the Righteous Alliance make a fool of themselves naturally scattered like birds and beasts.

Since no real fight broke out, neither Chu Luren nor the Righteous Alliance pursued the matter relentlessly, though they couldn't avoid a barrage of mockery.

Moreover, another group of people had already gathered over at this time—the same group that had led the digging of Turtle Mountain earlier.

Those who provided labor were mainly followers of Bright Peak, female servants of Lingjiu Palace, and disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect.

The geographical location determines that these are the places that attract the most visitors.

Although the disciples of Yihua Palace also rushed over day and night, they had come to support their young master because of the duel between Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer.

As for the other large and small factions within the Righteous Alliance, most of them consisted of only their elite confidants, who accompanied the sect leader, chieftain, and other leaders.

Those who arrived at this moment were the leaders who had been persisting in the rescue, including Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, and many others.

Seeing them walking together, Chu Luren suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, they were both her children, but... she had to make a choice!

"Little Master, Master, you've come too? I've really troubled you! Hahaha..."

That's right, both masters came together. They were both dear to him, so Chu Luren hesitated for a moment before choosing to greet the junior master first. The junior master was quite old, so it didn't matter if he was placed last.

Wu Yazi was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at his face—the ever-vulgar Wu Yazi attributed this difference in treatment to the fact that he had already learned "Free and Easy Wind Riding" but had not yet learned "The Medicine King's Manual"...

He has now fully recovered and no longer needs a wheelchair.

Well, if it weren't for the fact that I can still run and jump now, Wu Yazi would have already cleaned up the house... found someone to clean up the house!

Li Qiushui is the queen of Western Xia and is not here now. When Chu Luren first heard about this, he was curious - if his master became the queen, then was his master... granted a duke or marquis title, or was he rejected?

However, Chu Luren was always considerate and, out of respect for his master, did not allow the Sun Moon Sect to inquire about it.

Seeing Wu Yazi all alone... with only his senior brother and eight junior disciples by his side, Chu Luren was even more reluctant to bring up the sensitive topic—what if he had been rejected? It was better to wait until the atmosphere eased before asking.

"I must hurry up, otherwise the people from Xia Ke Island won't listen to my orders, and who will bring me medicine?" Cheng Lingsu said, pretending to be old-fashioned.

Xue Mu Hua was filled with grief and indignation upon seeing this—Chu Lu Ren suspected that his young master had competed in medical skills with the Xiaoyao Sect, and the result... was predictable!

In terms of history and lineage, the Free and Unfettered Sect naturally surpasses the Medicine King Valley. However, the Medicine King Valley specializes in the arts of medicine and poison, while medicine is merely a side branch and miscellaneous skill of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

Chu Luren noticed that Wu Yazi seemed reluctant to let him speak with his junior master first, so he immediately said, "Master! Don't worry, I've already eliminated Wei Wuya, who always used your name in the martial world!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yazi curled his lips—anyone who didn't know better would think that you came here specifically to pick a fight with Wei Wuya for this reason... I should thank you, shouldn't I?

Moreover, Wei Wuya was truly wronged. He had never confused "Wuya" with "Wuya," had he?

No, that's not right! Very few people have even heard of this "Boundless Cliff"!

"Oh, you're so filial," Wu Yazi said sarcastically.

"Of course, of course... Where is my martial uncle?" Chu Luren felt that since they had already talked for so long, it wasn't too abrupt to ask now.

Wu Yazi's beard trembled as he said, "Where is your martial uncle? Why are you asking about your master? He should be... arranging a marriage for his granddaughter! Do you have any ideas?"

"No, no, I'll present my wedding gift when I get married," Chu Luren quickly shook his head.

No wonder Wuyazi looked so unhappy...

After all, this granddaughter is a descendant of Li Qiushui and Li Yuanhao in Western Xia. According to Li Qiushui's previous statement, the grandson is fake, but the son is real, so naturally the granddaughter should also be real.

It seems that it's also possible that Master was dissatisfied, which is why he separated from Uncle Li.

"Then we must pay our respects properly. You are still the venerable master of Lingjiu Palace. Our Lingjiu Palace and the Queen of Xixia have a long-standing friendship!" Tongtong said as she walked over.

She gets all excited when you bring this up.

At this time, Tongtong looked to be around ten years old. Children at this age can still grow quite a bit in a year or two.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely handle it perfectly..." Chu Luren said, noticing Tongtong's uneasy look, so he added, "I'll tell Rongrong to get ready in a bit."

Chu Luren no longer regards Tongtong as her senior master, after all, she also wants to use the double rejuvenation of body and mind to make a clean break with her past self - as for giving gifts, it's just a joke.

They wouldn't actually go and cause trouble... right?

Even if she does regain her martial arts skills, she probably doesn't want to seek revenge on Li Qiushui now.

Tongtong can even utter three sentences in a row without using a single swear word, which shows how hard she works.

However, Wu Yazi always felt that she was his senior sister, and because of past grievances, it was inevitably a little awkward.

Seeing this, Chu Luren dutifully changed the subject, asking, "Master, did you see Yan Nantian and Hero Yan earlier?"

“Yes, Yan Nantian is a junior, but he is remarkable. His martial arts are remarkable, and his character is even more remarkable. You should try not to clash with him,” Wu Yazi said with some admiration.

"Martial arts skills are amazing?" Chu Luren was taken aback. His master's evaluation of Yan Nantian's martial arts skills was rather high!

It wasn't mentioned before that Yaoyue's martial arts skills were remarkable...

However, Chu Luren thought again that his master hadn't even broken through the Heavenly Gate, so his judgment might not be accurate.

Looking up, Chu Luren found Wu Yazi glaring at him, as if he had sensed his thoughts.

"Ahem, of course the sect leader's disciple wouldn't clash with Hero Yan. In fact, the sect leader's disciple has done Hero Yan a favor, and Hero Yan himself admitted that he owes me one and a half lives!" Chu Luren said righteously.

Wu Yazi: ...

Wu Yazi had become somewhat accustomed to his disciple's nonsensical ramblings and bizarre self-designations, and didn't even complain about what that extra half-life was all about.

“Master, what I mean is… did you see Hero Yan Nantian’s hairstyle? If you can accept it, you can also try to find Doctor Wan.” Chu Luren said indirectly.

Wu Yazi's bones and muscles have recovered, but his meridians have not, so he still can't use much of his martial arts skills.

Of course, not everyone who has their meridians reconnected will have their hair removed; Lianxing's eyebrows and hair are perfectly fine...

However, Wu Yazi's injury, like Yan Nantian's, was old, so Chu Luren felt it was better to let the old man be mentally prepared.

As for how to get Wan Chunliu to help?

Yan Nantian owes me one and a half lives, is that a debt he owes for nothing? Zhao Min said she wants to ask Wan Chunliu for a favor, but I didn't need her last time, so I can't let it expire, right?

Seeing that his master was deep in thought and wouldn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being, Chu Luren went to comfort Huang Rong and the others first...

Having been confined underground for over a month, one can imagine the amount of disdain the Chu Lu people received!

Chapter 995 Shifting Winds and Clouds

After receiving a number of disdainful looks and complaints, Chu Luren finally managed to calm everyone down.

To ease the tension and to satisfy the curiosity aroused by Que'er's silhouette, Chu Luren specifically asked Xiao Zhao, "Is Bright Peak doing well lately?"

"Everything is normal." Although Xiao Zhao didn't realize what Brother Chu wanted to ask, she still answered honestly.

The three envoys, Feng, Yun, and Yue, stood to the side, glaring at the guy who was "inquiring about the sect's secrets."

"Is Left Envoy Yang also quite good?" Chu Luren asked curiously.

“Vice Sect Leader Yang is also very good, but he hasn’t returned to Bright Peak recently. He’s been busy with the sect’s righteous army.” Xiao Zhao looked at Chu Luren with a puzzled expression.

"Vice Sect Leader? What about Miss Yang and Sixth Hero Yin...?" Chu Luren asked with piercing eyes.

"Sixth Hero Yin? Sixth Hero Yin has already returned to Wudang... Miss Yang also went with him to convey the greetings of Elder Zhang on behalf of the Ming Cult..." Xiao Zhao hadn't immediately realized why Brother Chu was asking this.

However, after she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something, and her eyes widened: "Brother Chu, you mean..."

“I bet Yang Buhui volunteered to go!” Chu Luren asked confidently.

“Well… indeed we did have the idea of ​​making peace with Wudang at the time, but neither the Bat King nor Vice Sect Leader Yang were there, so Miss Yang volunteered to go…” Xiao Zhao’s worldview was shaken.

Previously, Yin Liuxia was severely beaten by the Snow Mountain Sect and had several bones broken. It was indeed Yang Buhui who took care of him at Bright Peak. However... Xiao Zhao, as the sect leader, was busy with many affairs and didn't really notice anything else!

But when Chu Luren reminded her, Xiao Zhao suddenly realized that Yang Buhui had never been so diligent and understanding.

Thinking hard!

"Then this is Vice Headmaster Yang's own business..." Xiao Zhao decided to pretend she didn't know.

If the Ming Cult and Wudang were to form a marriage alliance, it would be a good thing—it would also settle the matter of Yang Xiao stealing Yin Liuxia's fiancée back then!

Chu Luren was just asking around, but he didn't expect to actually find something.

"If you ask me, it's nothing. Yang Xiao is about the same age as Yin Liuxia now. He met Bu Hui's mother." Chu Luren said something on behalf of Yin Liuxia, but... it sounded like he was just making sarcastic remarks.

"Master Chu, stop worrying about other people's business. With all this going out to sea and diving into the earth, a lot of big things have happened in the world these past few months!" Huang Rong said at the right time.

Since it had been a long time since they had met, Huang Rong didn't immediately get down to business.

However, upon hearing this, Chu Luren also revealed a serious expression.

When Chu Luren returned from Xia Ke Island, he heard that Zhao Wushi had taken the blame for the "Xiangyang Incident" and gone to prison, only to be framed by Cao Zhengchun...

Although he seemed to be in a disadvantageous situation, it also garnered him a lot of sympathy.

People like Haitang, who had initially begun to doubt him, immediately dispelled their doubts and became convinced once again that "this must all be Cao Zhengchun's conspiracy."

At that time, Chu Luren was too busy with the Turtle Mountain incident to personally go to Lin'an and try to teach that old monkey in prison to make the charade real. However, he did send someone to deliver a message to Murong Jiu, but he didn't know if she listened to it. Chu Luren also thought that he would pay attention to this matter again in about three months...

However, since Huang Rong didn't immediately warn everyone upon meeting him, she at least gave them time to roll their eyes at her, which shows that Murong Jiu should at least be in no danger.

“Two months ago, Cao Zhengchun used the ‘secret evidence’ found at the Dragon Guard Manor to hold a group of court officials hostage and strike at a group of officials who originally opposed the Eastern Depot. Then, with the help of coercing his family members in the capital, he secretly contacted the border guards in various places... including Xiangyang!” Huang Rong said, recounting what happened to Chu Luren underground.

"Xiangyang?" Chu Luren was taken aback upon hearing this.

In Xiangyang, Lü Wenhuan and Lü Wende should already be under Madam Guo's control...
