Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

[I'm still not used to the fighting and killing in this martial arts world.]

"Let's go." After Liu Zhengfeng was rescued by Qu Yang, Chen Liu stood up first.

[It seems that even watching a play requires a cold and ruthless heart. I'd better avoid participating in such things in the future.]

Although Chen Liu could have asked Wang Yuyan to save Liu Zhengfeng's family, he chose not to. In fact, many of the Jianghu people present could have saved Liu Zhengfeng's family, but they all chose to ignore them. Whether out of a belief that good and evil cannot coexist, or a reluctance to offend the Songshan Sect, none of them took action. Even Qu Yang did not intervene to save Liu Zhengfeng's family until the Songshan Sect was about to attack Liu Zhengfeng.

When the people from Songshan Sect wanted to kill Liu Qing, Hua Wuque originally wanted to take action, but when he saw that Lianxing was calm and composed and didn't care at all, he finally held back.

After rescuing Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang immediately reunited with Qu Feiyan and left Hengyang City. However, while rescuing Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang was injured by Ding Mian and Lu Bai of the Songshan Sect. The Qi even penetrated his body, damaging Liu Zhengfeng's heart meridians. Both knew they had little time to live. After leading Qu Feiyan to a waterfall in a valley outside the city, the two sat on a large rock, one playing the qin and the other the flute, and together they performed the song "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."

Qu Feiyan, who was standing behind Qu Yang, heard her grandfather and Liu Zhengfeng playing "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" again, and she couldn't help feeling sad. She knew clearly that Grandpa Liu's family would be killed by the people of Songshan Sect, and that Grandpa would die a violent death, but she still couldn't change his fate. Was she about to die too?

Qu Feiyan was not afraid of death, but she was a little unwilling to accept it.

When the song ended, Qu Yang couldn't help but sigh. Liu Zhengfeng asked, "Brother, why are you sighing? Oh, yes, you must be worried about Feifei."

A long laugh echoed, and before it died down, a dark figure leaped out from behind the cliff. A flash of green light appeared, and a figure stood before Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, holding a longsword. It was none other than Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Master of the Songshan School. Fei Bin chuckled coldly, "I finally found you. If it weren't for the music of your zither and flute guiding the way, finding you would have been a real challenge."

Liu Zhengfeng stood up and said, "Fei Bin, you've already killed my entire family. I've been struck by the palm power of your two senior brothers and am on the verge of death. What else do you want to do?"

Fei Bin laughed heartily and said, "Of course we're going to kill them all. Not only will you die, but this girl will die too."

Qu Feiyan thought to herself: Am I really going to die too?

Liu Zhengfeng angrily shouted, "Fei, you're a well-known figure in a prestigious and upright sect. Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng are in your hands today. You can kill them or chop them up, and you'll die without regrets. Yet, you go and bully a little girl. What kind of hero are you? Feifei, leave!"

Qu Feiyan drew two short swords from her waist and said, "We can't leave. He won't let us go. Let me die with Grandpa and Eunuch Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned, and Qu Yang was also stunned.

Fei Bin chuckled and said, "Girl, you're quite clear-headed. Now that I've found you, none of you will survive."

With that, Fei Bin thrust his longsword at Qu Feiyan. Qu Feiyan blocked with her left dagger, then thrust her right. Fei Bin let out a long laugh, swung his longsword, and struck the dagger in her right hand with a snap. Qu Feiyan's right arm numbed, her knuckles aching, and her right dagger slipped from her grasp. Fei Bin swung his longsword sideways, knocking the dagger from Qu Feiyan's left hand back several feet away.

Fei Bin pointed his sword at Qu Feiyan's throat and said to Qu Yang with a smile, "Elder Qu, I will first blind your granddaughter's left eye, then cut off her nose, and then her two ears..."

"Swish..." A sharp whistling sound rang out, startling Fei Bin. He immediately looked towards the source of the sound and saw a tiny object flying towards him. Fei Bin was about to draw his sword to strike, but the tiny object was too fast and collided directly with his longsword, breaking it in half. Even his knuckles were numb from the shock, and he almost lost his grip on the sword.

A dark shadow, like a ghost, sprang at Fei Bin, a longsword stabbing at his chest like a venomous snake. Fei Bin stepped back, holding up the broken sword to block. The shadow took a step and dodged to Fei Bin's side, striking him with his left hand. Fei Bin, known as the "Great Songyang Hand," possessed a unique skill set, and wasn't afraid of a palm-to-palm confrontation. He also struck back with his free left palm. However, just as the encounter was about to begin, the shadow's palm swerved and grasped Fei Bin's wrist. Fei Bin was about to counterattack, but he felt his true energy gushing out like a surging river, rushing towards the shadow. His body felt sore and limp, and he couldn't muster any strength.

Fei Bin was horrified, his face pale with fear, and he cried out in shock, "Star Absorbing Technique? Are you Ren Woxing?"

The visitor didn't answer, but sneered, his voice a little hoarse, and he sounded quite old.

"Master Ren?" Qu Yang was also stunned.

Didn’t Ren Woxing disappear a long time ago?

"Master Ren, Master Ren, let me go." After the man in black grabbed Fei Bin's acupuncture points and sucked his true energy, he lost the strength to resist and could only beg for mercy in fear.

But the man in black ignored Fei Bin's pleas for mercy. Not long after, his true energy was sucked dry and he became an ordinary useless person.

"He is yours." The man in black threw Fei Bin in front of Qu Feiyan.

Qu Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed. With hatred in her eyes, she picked up the dagger and gestured at Fei Bin, saying, "Fei Bin, should I blind your left eye first, or cut off your nose first, or cut off both your ears first?"

"Let me go." Fei Bin tried to run out with his terrified hands and feet, but Qu Feiyan stepped on his back.

While Qu Feiyan was torturing Fei Bin, the man in black walked towards Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng and said hoarsely, "You two are going to die soon anyway. It would be a waste if you die with all this energy. Why don't you give it to me and I'll let this little girl go?"

Qu Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Thank you, Master."

Ren Woxing had a bad reputation in the past. He was arrogant, domineering and proud, so much so that he was overthrown by Dongfang Bubai and his men, but he was indeed a man of his word and always kept his word.

"Which of you comes first?"

"I'll go first." Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng both rushed forward.

"Then come together." The man in black also stretched out his hands, grabbed Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng in an instant, and madly absorbed their true energy.

"It's indeed Ren Woxing." Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but say in their hearts as the black-clothed man sucked their true energy.

[Not bad, not bad. After absorbing the true qi of three innate masters, once I transform it into Beiming true qi, my true qi will no longer be a shortcoming.]

"It's you!" Qu Feiyan heard the familiar voice in her mind again and immediately knew who the person was. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chen Liu:......

[Fuck, you can even recognize me? ]

Chapter 158: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (Part )

Qu Feiyan really recognized Chen Liu and was not trying to trick him. She even said his name, which made Chen Liu a little depressed.

"How did you recognize me?"

"Your back." Qu Feiyan's eyes rolled as she said, "I've seen you more than once. I didn't notice you at first, but the more I looked at you, the more familiar you became. That's when I guessed it was you."

"Okay!" Chen Liu felt helpless after being recognized by Qu Feiyan.

When Qu Yang heard it was Chen Liu, not Ren Woxing, he was stunned for a moment, then somewhat relieved. While he didn't know where Chen Liu had learned his "Star Absorbing Technique," he was far superior to Ren Woxing, and he had a good reputation. While Chen Liu was a bit lecherous, he had so many beautiful women by his side, even Lianxing from Yihua Palace, so he must have something special. He felt more at ease leaving Qu Feiyan to him after his death.

Qu Yang didn't want Qu Feiyan to return to the Sun Moon Sect. While returning would provide protection, she would also be exploited by the sect. Furthermore, the Sun Moon Sect's actions were truly vicious and bizarre, so it was no wonder that the jianghu called it a demonic cult. Even Qu Yang himself couldn't stand the Sun Moon Sect's behavior. He wouldn't return unless absolutely necessary, or unless he was summoned back or needed the antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

"Little brother, after we die, please cremate us both on the river." Qu Yang handed a scroll to Chen Liu and said, "This is 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' that we composed together. It's the fruit of our life's work, and I'm giving it to you. If you have the chance in the future, please help it find a successor so that 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' can be passed down."

[Tsk! In the original novel, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was given to Linghu Chong, but I changed Linghu Chong's fate. He didn't even appear here, and yet "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" fell into my hands. But I can't play the piano or the flute. How about giving it to Ah Bi? Ah Bi is Qin Dian's apprentice, and she's good at both. I can find a beautiful woman who can play the piano and the flute and play with her later.]

But who should I ask? I know Ren Yingying, but I don't want to get involved with the Sun Moon Cult. And if I ask Ren Yingying, I have to help her save her father, that pervert.

Ren Yingying? Sister Ren? Qu Feiyan's eyes flashed.

Qu Feiyan did know Ren Yingying, but not very well. After all, she had only met her a few times, both times when her grandfather brought her back to the Sun Moon Sect's headquarters. Ren Yingying was also a scheming person, having already started scheming at a young age. Initially, Ren Yingying was very kind to Qu Feiyan, acting like a warm older sister. She not only gave her lots of delicious food but also lots of fun things, which endeared her to the young girl. However, Qu Yang later told her that Ren Yingying was trying to use her to show her favor to him and win him over.

After that, Qu Yang stopped bringing Qu Feiyan back to Blackwood Cliff, and so Qu Feiyan hadn't seen Ren Yingying for a long time. This was also the reason why Qu Yang didn't want Qu Feiyan to return to the Sun Moon Sect. If she did, she would inevitably be used by Ren Yingying as a pawn to deal with Dongfang Bubai or find her father, Ren Woxing.

Shang Xiufang from the Sui Dynasty? Forget it, that girl is involved with the Li family. Shi Qingxuan? That's hard to deal with. Her father is Shi Zhixuan, and she's also connected to those prostitutes from Cihang Jingzhai. So who should I contact? Forget it, let's talk about this later.

Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng died, but they were already dying, and Chen Liu had sucked away all their true energy. Without true energy to protect their organs and meridians, it was difficult for them to survive.

Qu Feiyan burst into tears and took a dagger to cut branches to make a bamboo raft. Following Qu Yang's will, she placed him and Liu Zhengfeng on the raft and cremated them, letting them drift away with the river. As for Fei Bin, he had been chopped into a stick by Qu Feiyan. His eyes had been gouged out, his ears cut off, his nose cut off, and his teeth knocked out. He was unrecognizable, and he was dead beyond repair.

[So cruel! Although Qu Feiyan is a character similar to Rong'er, she is much more cruel than Rong'er, worthy of being a member of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.]

Qu Feiyan: ...

Am I being too vicious? I guess I need to behave better in the future, since I still have to rely on him for food.

After being rescued by Chen Liu, Qu Feiyan thought she belonged to Chen Liu. As for her grandfather's death after Chen Liu sucked all his Qi away, Qu Feiyan didn't mind. Even if Chen Liu hadn't sucked it away, her grandfather would have died. Rather than wasting that Qi, it was better to give it to Chen Liu.

Chen Liu helped Qu Feiyan to tie up the bamboo raft, piled it with dry firewood, and then moved Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng onto the raft, placed them on the dry firewood, and asked Qu Feiyan to light the dry firewood and push the raft into the river.

"What are your plans for the future?" Chen Liu asked as he looked at the bamboo raft that was on fire.

"Of course I'll follow you."

"Follow me?"

"We in the Sun and Moon Sect clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. You saved me and allowed me to avenge myself. I will repay you."

"Is that so?"

After Chen Liu took Qu Feiyan away, an elderly man with a thin figure, a haggard face, and a long blue cloth gown that was washed so much that it looked pale, walked out slowly from the darkness and couldn't help sighing.

The man who arrived was none other than Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan School, known in the martial arts world as "Xiaoxiang Night Rain." Mo Da was fully aware of Liu Zhengfeng's relationship with Qu Yang, and he had hinted to Liu Zhengfeng about it before, but he refused to listen. He resolutely resigned from the Hengshan School and the martial arts world for the sake of music, even going so far as to break off a feud with Mo Da. Mo Da was helpless.

Mo Da should have come earlier, but was stopped by someone. He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he slashed out with his sword, which showed that the other party was not a match for him. Fortunately, the man had no ill will towards him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

After Chen Liu and Qu Feiyan left, the person who had stopped Mo Da quietly left. Mo Da looked at the bamboo raft on the river that was almost burned out and remained silent.

"What a troubled time!"

Zuo Lengchan's ambitions were slowly becoming apparent, and he began meddling in the internal affairs of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, armed with the Alliance Leader's Banner. Originally, the Five Mountains Sword Sects had formed an alliance solely to counter the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Jianghu Demonic Path, a loose alliance of martial arts sects. However, ever since Zuo Lengchan became Alliance Leader, he was no longer content with simply being an Alliance Leader. He wanted to merge the Five Mountains Sword Sects into a single sect, desiring to become their true leader.

Mo Da's great-grandmaster and great-uncle had been killed in battle at the summit of Mount Huashan against the ten elders of the Sun and Moon Sect. Mo Da's master was relatively young, and while he had mastered the five Hengshan Divine Swords—Hibiscus, Purple Cover, Stone Wall, Heavenly Pillar, and Zhurong—he only had a basic understanding of the Five Hengshan Divine Swords. Therefore, Mr. Mo Da never received any instruction from his master.

Due to the loss of their unique skills, the Hengshan School has been declining over the years, facing a lack of talent. Liu Zhengfeng was already a rare innate master in the Hengshan School. Now that Liu Zhengfeng has passed away, the Hengshan School faces an even more difficult future. If he is not careful, the Hengshan School's legacy may be cut short in his hands. How will he face his ancestors in the Hengshan School then?

Chapter 159 Leaving Hengyang

Liu Zhengfeng is dead, Qu Yang is dead, and Fei Bin is also dead. There is nothing left in Hengyang. Chen Liu is also preparing to leave Hengyang and go to Jingzhou, where there is a treasure waiting for him to dig.

If possible, Chen Liu also wanted to take a look at the "Shenzhaojing". After all, it was a miraculous healing internal energy technique that was passed down in martial arts novels, especially in the world of Zongwu, it was even more magical.

Mu Nianci, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo didn't have any good internal skills yet. The "Northern Divine Art" couldn't be passed down, the "Small Invisible Art" was also a Xiaoyao Sect technique, the "Nine Yang Divine Art" might not be suitable for girls, and the "Nine Yin Manual" was difficult to obtain. Chen Liu wanted to visit Ding Dian and strike a deal with him: help him rescue Ling Shuanghua and let them finally get married. He wanted the "Shen Zhao Jing" in exchange.

In fact, Ding Dian was capable of taking Ling Shuanghua away, but he didn't want to embarrass Ling Shuanghua, so he was willing to go to jail. If you want to convince Ding Dian, you need to convince Ling Shuanghua.

I don't know if I can convince Ling Shuanghua. If I can't convince her, then Chen Liu doesn't have much to do. Ding Dian has a bad temper and is stubborn. Threatening him with death is useless.

Ling Tui Si coveted Ding Dian's possession of the "Liancheng Jue" (The Untold Story), poisoning him with the Jinbo Xunhua (Golden Wave) flower, imprisoning him, and subjecting him to daily torture. Possessing the "Shenzhao Jing," Ding Dian could easily have escaped, but he remained in prison and endured the regular torture simply to see the chrysanthemums Ling Shuanghua displayed in his window. Convincing Ding Dian to trust him was also challenging. In the original novel, Wan Zhenshan's disciples arrived in prison to inform Di Yun that Qi Fang had married Wan Gui. Desperate, Di Yun hanged himself. Only then did Ding Dian believe he wasn't an undercover agent sent by Ling Tui Si, and he saved his life and taught him the "Shenzhao Gong." Therefore, Ling Shuanghua's cooperation was necessary to gain Ding Dian's trust and obtain his "Shenzhao Jing."

As for Di Yun, no one knew how he was doing now. Was he in jail? Chen Liu still had a good impression of Di Yun, a simple and honest man. If he met him, he would help him.

Although time travelers are generally unscrupulous, they will rob and rob when they travel to other worlds, robbing money, food, women, and martial arts. They are mostly very ruthless to the natives, except for beautiful women.

Maybe they were driven crazy by the life of office workers in real society, so after traveling to other worlds, they thought they were the protagonists and acted unscrupulously. As long as they were unhappy, they would kill, kill, kill. Oh, this is a cool article.

However, Chen Liu did not have a system that could give him advanced martial arts for free, nor did he have a golden finger that could enhance his martial arts skills for free. Moreover, although Chen Liu was very interested in the female heroes in the world of Zongwu, he also had his own bottom line.

As Chen Liu prepared to leave, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were also leaving Hengyang with their disciples to return to Huashan. However, the journey back to Huashan required passing through Jingzhou and Xiangyang, so Yue Buqun joined Chen Liu and his companions. To Chen Liu's surprise, he saw Lin Pingzhi among the Huashan disciples, and Lin Pingzhi had been accepted as Yue Buqun's disciple. It seemed that Yue Buqun had not yet given up on his ambition to acquire the "Slicing Chicken Sword Technique."

They were accompanied by Master Dingyi and her disciples from the Hengshan Sect, as well as members of the Emei Sect. The Hengshan Sect members returned to Hengshan, while the Emei Sect members went to Wudang Mountain.

[It seems that the old thief Miejue is indeed trying to contact the famous and upright sects in the world to attack Guangmingding.]

After hearing that the people from Emei Sect were preparing to go to Wudang Mountain, Chen Liu began to think.

[In the original novel, the six major sects' attack on Bright Summit was a conspiracy by the Yuan people, in order to capture all the masters of the Ming Cult and the six major sects in one fell swoop.]

Zhou Zhiruo was shocked. Was the siege of Guangmingding a conspiracy by the Yuan people? Could her master be a Yuan person?

This time, it was still Nun Miejue who contacted all the famous and upright sects in the Ming Dynasty to attack Guangmingding. Since Chenliu said that this was a conspiracy of the Yuan people, if what he said was true, then the only possibility is that Nun Miejue was a Yuan person.

After the people from Huashan, Emei, Hengshan, and Chenliu gathered and headed north, Wang Yuyan had already contacted Zhou Zhiruo and Yilin, sharing some information and precautions. Zhou Zhiruo thus learned of Chenliu's origins. She trusted Wang Yuyan, otherwise she couldn't explain Chenliu's affairs. It was precisely because she believed Chenliu was from outer space and knew about their affairs that she didn't suspect him.

Chen Liu probably never imagined that Zhou Zhiruo would overhear his thoughts and start to doubt her master. If Miejue knew, she would definitely cry her heart out.

[I don't know what will happen this time. Sigh! This martial arts world is too chaotic, with so many people and forces involved, it's hard to predict.]
