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

"Okay, I promise you." Chen Liu had already brought Ling Shuanghua with him, and if he still didn't know what was good for him, he was afraid Chen Liu would kill her. Ling Shuanghua was more important to Ding Dian than anything else. If Ling Tui Si had asked Ling Shuanghua to come to Ding Dian and ask for her help, Ding Dian would definitely give her the treasure and the Liancheng Jue. Unfortunately, Ling Tui Si was too self-critical, assuming that Ding Dian would be like him, valuing the treasure above all else.

[Finally succeeded. 】

Chen Liu couldn't help but smile.

Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the other women of Lianxing led two pairs of infatuated men and women, Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua, and Di Yun and Qi Fang, out of the Jingzhou prison in a grand manner. Although Ling Tuisi had arranged for martial arts masters to guard the Jingzhou prison, these martial arts masters were no match for Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the other women of Lianxing, and were either killed or knocked unconscious.

After bringing Ding Dian, Di Yun, Ling Shuanghua, and Qi Fang to the riverside, the servants and maids from Mantuo Villa, who had been waiting nearby, immediately bowed and saluted, "Miss, son-in-law."

"Is the boat ready?" Chen Liu asked.

"It's ready." said Nanny Li.

"Where's the money?"

"I put ten thousand taels of gold, twenty thousand taels of silver, and jewelry worth tens of thousands of taels on the boat." said Li Ma.

These gold, silver, and jewels were naturally taken from the Tianning Temple's treasure. The maids at Mantuo Villa estimated that the Tianning Temple's treasure was worth over 10 million taels of silver. However, taking out over 100,000 taels of gold, silver, and jewels was only a small fraction.

Chen Liu nodded and turned to Ding Dian and said, "The boat is right there. You can go check if there are any problems with the boat and the gold, silver and jewelry."

Chapter 167 Divine Illumination Sutra

Ding Dian looked at Chen Liu, who was very calm. He hadn't done anything wrong in the first place, so even if Ding Dian had checked carefully, he wouldn't have found anything wrong.

"No need to check, I trust you." Ding Dian laughed. Now he also trusted Chen Liu. "Let's go, let's get on the boat. I'll tell you how to practice the Shen Zhao Jing."

"Okay!" Chen Liu followed Ding Dian onto the boat without hesitation. Wang Yuyan was a little worried and wanted to follow, but Chen Liu waved his hand and told her not to worry. Chen Liu believed in Ding Dian's character. Of course, this was not the most important thing. With Ling Shuanghua on the shore, Chen Liu believed that Ding Dian would not dare to play any tricks.

Ding Dian hadn't played any tricks with the Shenzhaojing, and if he had, Chen Liu would have been able to tell. The system would have indicated whether the copy Ding Dian had given him was incomplete or not. Not long after, Chen Liu and Ding Dian reemerged from the boat. Ding Dian's expression was a bit strange. He had only spoken it once, and Chen Liu had memorized and mastered it all. He had never seen anyone with such a good memory and understanding.

When Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, Ling Shuanghua and other girls saw Chen Liu and Ding Dian coming ashore together, they all came forward to greet them.

"How is it?" Wang Yuyan knew that it was settled when she saw Chen Liu's happy expression, but she still asked.

Chen Liu nodded.

Lu Wushuang, Hong Lingbo, Qu Feiyan, and Yue Lingshan couldn't help but smile. After all, Chen Liu had found the "Shen Zhao Jing" specifically for them. Wang Yuyan, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing were cultivating the Bei Ming Divine Art. Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, and Mu Nianci were currently cultivating the "Small Invisible Formlessness Art." Lian Xing had the Ming Yu Art from her Yihua Palace, and Huang Rong had her own master-level internal energy technique from Peach Blossom Island. However, their techniques were the weakest, merely ordinary internal energy techniques.

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua whispered a few words to each other, probably about where they would live in the future. Ling Shuanghua seemed to nod and followed Ding Dian back.

"Brother Ding, I wish you a safe journey and a happy marriage." Chen Liu bowed to Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua.

"Are you just going to let us go like this?" Ding Dian asked.

"Do you want to stay and have a midnight snack before leaving?" Chen Liu said with a smile.

"Are you still recruiting worshippers at home?" Ding Dian asked.

"Ah?" Chen Liu looked at Ding Dian in surprise.

"I don't know where to go now. If your family is still recruiting worshippers, I would like to take Shuang'er to your house to be a worshipper." Ding Dian said.

Chen Liu was overjoyed when he heard this. Ding Dian was a ready-made master, and Di Yun still needed to train him. If Ding Dian was willing to give him family property as an offering, Chen Liu would naturally be very happy.

Chen Liu smiled and said, "If Brother Ding is willing to serve as a priest in my household, how can I refuse? How about this, Brother Ding? Yuyan and I won't be back for a while. You go back with Nanny Li and the others first, and take Di Yun and Miss Qi with you. Originally, I wanted to teach Di Yun the Shen Zhao Jing before letting him go back with Nanny Li and the others. Since Brother Ding also wants to serve as a priest, I'd like to trouble you to teach him the Shen Zhao Jing so that you won't delay Nanny Li and the others' journey."

"You want to teach the Shenzhaojing to this silly boy?" Ding Dian was very surprised.

"That's right." Chen Liu smiled and said, "Di Yun is simple and straightforward, and Miss Qi is kind. I have high hopes for them. I even want them to serve as my family's servants for the rest of their lives."

Di Yun scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. Although he didn't know why Chen Liu had such a favorable opinion of him, he was still thinking about the good life he and his junior sister would have in store for them. Five taels of silver a month was enough for him to buy a large yellow ox. Oh, and it also included food and lodging, two sets of clothes every quarter, eight sets a year. This treatment was too good to be true. As long as Chen Liu didn't chase him away, he definitely wouldn't leave.

"Alright." Ding Dian looked at the somewhat silly Di Yun and laughed. Since Chen Liu wanted to teach, then he would teach. After all, Chen Liu would teach even if he didn't.

"Why don't you thank Brother Chen and Brother Ding quickly?" Seeing Di Yun still standing there stupidly without saying thank you, Qi Fang immediately got furious and kicked Di Yun hard.

That's the "Shen Zhao Jing"! Oh my! This is a technique that even Chen Liu wants to seize. And Chen Liu is now a master of Xiantian, and Wang Yuyan is a master of the Grandmaster level. How bad can a technique that even they are interested in be? Chen Liu is willing to teach him such a great technique, and Di Yun doesn't even know how to say thank you. Are you trying to drive me crazy?

Di Yun was kicked by Qi Fang and nearly fell, but he didn't dare get angry. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Liu and Ding Dian, saying, "Thank you, Brother Chen, thank you, Brother Ding."

Ding Dian looked at Di Yun's silly appearance and felt helpless. This silly boy was indeed a little silly. He just hoped that he would not be too silly, otherwise he would suffer in the future.

Chen Liu told Li Ma to take good care of Ding Dian and Di Yun's daily life when she returned. Li Ma quickly and respectfully agreed.

Although Mantuo Villa previously refused to accept men, that was because Li Qingluo hated men. However, since Li Qingluo betrothed Wang Yuyan to her husband, Mantuo Villa would definitely change its rules. It wouldn't be just women anymore. And Ding Dian was a Xiantian master, a peak Xiantian master. Besides Wang Yuyan and her husband, the strongest people in Mantuo Villa were only a few first-rate masters, not even top-tier masters. Now that Ding Dian, a peak Xiantian master, had come to her, she naturally wouldn't neglect him.

This treasure-hunting trip to Jingzhou took a little over five days, yielding treasures worth over ten million taels of silver. The entire process was uneventful, and they even recruited Ding Dian and Di Yun as their retainers. Ding Dian was a pleasant surprise, and Chen Liu was quite satisfied.

Since sailing was difficult at night, Chen Liu spent the night drinking with Ding Dian and Di Yun. The next morning, just as dawn broke, after watching the treasure-laden boat carrying Ding Dian, Di Yun, and the others from Mantuo Villa depart, Chen Liu turned to Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong, and the other women and said, "Let's go too."

Chen Liu was also preparing to leave Jingzhou for Wudang Mountain. Yihua Palace had already sent word to Lianxing that Yaoyue had obtained the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, even the formula. It had to be said that Yaoyue was quite quick, and if Yaoyue took action, the fate of the Vajra Sect members would likely be dire.

Lianxing asked someone from Yihua Palace to pass a message, asking Yihua Palace to deliver the Black Jade Ointment to the Yihua Palace station in Xiangyang. After she arrived in Xiangyang Prefecture, she would go to the Yihua Palace station to get the medicine.

Now that he has the Black Jade Ointment, Chen Liu will naturally not miss the opportunity to go to Wudang Mountain to do Zhang Sanfeng a favor.

As for Ling Tui Si and the Wan family, Chen Liu didn't bother to pay any attention to them. While they weren't good people, as long as they didn't provoke him, there was no need for Chen Liu to go out of his way to kill them. There were too many bad guys in the Zongwu World. If he killed Ling Tui Si and the Wan family, would he kill Qi Changfa? Yan Daping? Hua Tiegan? Blood Knife Patriarch? And the Ten Evils from "The Twins"? The Twelve Zodiac Signs? There were so many bad guys, how could he kill them all? If Chen Liu spent all his time killing them, would he have time to cultivate and seek opportunities?

As for the plot of "The Untold Story" being destroyed by Chen Liu, changing the endings of many people, change is change. Time travelers are all destroyers. As long as you travel through time, even if you don't do anything, many things will be changed because of the butterfly effect.

Chapter 168 The Injured Zhou Zhiruo

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, there is a small village called Zhengshan Village. The village is not big, with only a dozen households, but it is the only way to get to Wudang Mountain.

In a house near the road to Wudang Mountain in Zhengshan Village, Bei Jinyi walked out of the house carrying freshly prepared food. She glanced at Zhou Zhiruo who was sitting on a recliner, looking at the road to Wudang Mountain, and sighed slightly.

She could tell that Zhou Zhiruo had fallen in love with Chen Liu. Zhou Zhiruo was also very ruthless. She didn't hesitate to stab her leg in order to stay and wait for Chen Liu. Of course, these were all just Bei Jinyi's guesses, after all, Zhou Zhiruo's leg was injured while she was chasing the thieves.

Nun Miejue was both distressed and helpless when Zhou Zhiruo's leg injury prevented her from continuing to contact the various martial arts sects and rally them to fight against the Ming Cult. She had no choice but to temporarily leave Zhou Zhiruo at the foot of Wudang Mountain to recuperate, while also leaving Bei Jinyi to care for her. She instructed both to reunite with them in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after Zhou Zhiruo's injury healed. Zhou Zhiruo respectfully agreed, but whether she would obey Nun Miejue's instructions was unclear.

It was only after Nun Miejue left that Bei Jinyi realized Zhou Zhiruo had another purpose for staying in Wudang Mountain. Recalling how Zhou Zhiruo often stayed near Chen Liu when they were traveling together, and how Chen Liu had once said that his next stop would be Wudang Mountain, Bei Jinyi couldn't help but understand what Zhou Zhiruo was up to.

Because of this, Bei Jinyi suspected that Zhou Zhiruo had stabbed herself in the leg, but she had no evidence.

"Junior Sister Zhiruo, it's time to eat." Bei Jinyi put the food on the table and saw Zhou Zhiruo still looking into the distance, so she called her helplessly.

Zhou Zhiruo came back to her senses and looked back at Bei Jinyi with a grateful expression on her face. She said softly, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Bei Jinyi helped Zhou Zhiruo to the table, asked her to sit down, and then served her soup and rice.

"Excuse me, Senior Sister."

Zhou Zhiruo had a good personality and spoke softly. Besides Ding Minjun, many of the other sisters in the sect liked her very much. Even the Four Beauties of Emei, who had once competed with Nun Miejue for the position of head of the sect, were very fond of her.

Ding Minjun is a sharp-tongued and scheming person, fond of scheming and intrigue. She's always wanted to succeed Nun Miejue as the next leader of the Emei Sect. But first came Ji Xiaofu. After Ji Xiaofu betrayed her master and gave birth to a child with Yang Xiao, the Left Protector of the Demonic Cult, and then refused to assassinate Yang Xiao, she was killed by Nun Miejue. Then came Zhou Zhiruo, a woman with even greater talent and even greater Nun Miejue's favor. It's strange that she could be happy.

Ever since Zhou Zhiruo came to Mount Emei and became the beloved treasure of Nun Miejue, who not only taught her martial arts personally but also trained her as the next leader of the Emei Sect, Ding Minjun had been nearly driven mad. Whenever she had the chance, Ding Minjun would scold Zhou Zhiruo harshly and torment her, but Zhou Zhiruo always treated Ding Minjun with respect, leaving her somewhat helpless.

Bei Jinyi knew that Nun Miejue wanted to train Zhou Zhiruo to be the next leader of the Lower Emei Sect, but she felt that Zhou Zhiruo's current soft-spoken personality was unsuitable for the position and lacked prestige. The Emei Sect was one of the most prestigious sects in the Ming Dynasty. Who would tolerate a delicate woman as its leader? Of course, if her master decided, she wouldn't object.

But now it seems that Master's plan may fail again. The two successors she has her eyes on have both fallen in love with men. One loves the Left Envoy of the Demon Cult and even gave birth to a child for him. The other has also fallen in love with a playboy and even stabbed herself to see him, pretending to be injured.

Bei Jinyi didn't know what was so good about Chen Liu... Well, Chen Liu was indeed quite good, even Bei Jinyi had to admit that he was very talented, with excellent talent and even greater understanding, but he already had women, and more than one. Her master, Nun Miejue, would never agree to Zhou Zhiruo and Chen Liu's marriage unless Chen Liu abandoned his other women and married Zhou Zhiruo alone. But how could that be possible? Zhou Zhiruo was indeed very talented and beautiful, but she was no match for Wang Yuyan, who was by Chen Liu's side. Wang Yuyan was a master, more powerful than their masters. How could Chen Liu abandon her?

In addition to Wang Yuyan, there are Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, Mu Wanqing and other girls. They are all favored girls of heaven and are no worse than Zhou Zhiruo. What's more, even the Palace Master Lianxing of Yihua Palace has come to Chen Liu's side. With so many beautiful women, how can Zhou Zhiruo compete with them?

Of course, if Zhou Zhiruo became a concubine, there would be no problem, but Master Miejue would never allow it.

When Bei Jinyi was thinking about whether to persuade Zhou Zhiruo to give up Chenliu, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Zhou Zhiruo turned around suddenly and saw a man in blue clothes and a dozen women wearing veils riding horses slowly towards them.

Zhou Zhiruo was suddenly surprised and stood up, running towards the man leading the group. Bei Jinyi was speechless for a long time when she saw Zhou Zhiruo's legs running like the wind.

It’s confirmed, Zhou Zhiruo is definitely waiting for Chen Liu.

"Brother Chenliu!"

"Zhiruo?" Chen Liu was surprised to see Zhou Zhiruo running towards them and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm injured." Zhou Zhiruo's tone seemed to contain joy.

Huang Rong:......

Wang Yuyan: ...

Are you so happy even when you're injured? Could it be that you hurt yourself on purpose to stay with your husband (Brother Chenliu)?

"Injuried?"

Yes, I'm injured! Zhou Zhiruo only then remembered that she was still injured. She quickly hooked up her injured leg, covered it with her hand, and quietly poked the wound with her finger. The wound, which had not yet fully healed, began to ooze blood, and her body fell to one side.

Chen Liu naturally would not let Zhou Zhiruo fall in front of him. He dodged and jumped off his horse, came to Zhou Zhiruo and supported her delicate body.

"Let me see!"

"Hmm!" Zhou Zhiruo responded softly, turned her head, gently lifted the hem of her skirt and pulled it up, revealing her injured leg under the skirt, and showed the wound to Chen Liu.

Chen Liu took a look and saw that Zhou Zhiruo's thigh was wrapped in white cloth with a little red blood on it. He asked in surprise, "She really is injured. Is it serious?"

"It's okay, it's just a flesh wound. I'll be fine after resting for a while." Zhou Zhiruo said in a low voice with a flushed face.

"How did you get hurt?"

"When we arrived at Wudang Mountain, we encountered a group of bandits who were burning, killing, and looting. Master told us to kill the bandits and save the villagers. When I was chasing one of the bandits, I was unfamiliar with the area and fell into their trap. He stabbed me in the leg. So Master told me to recuperate at the foot of Wudang Mountain first."

"I see." Chen Liu nodded slightly and said, "Since you are injured, why did you come here? Don't you know that you are injured now?"

"I forgot." Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head, seeming a little embarrassed.

Wang Yuyan and the other girls: ...

Chapter 169 Scheming Woman

The Wudang and Shaolin sects were the two greatest martial arts sanctuaries of the Ming Dynasty, each boasting a multitude of masters. The Wudang sect boasted not only Zhang Sanfeng, but also the Seven Masters of Wudang, including Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou, as well as masters like Mu Dao Ren, Zi Yang Dao Chang, Mei Zhenren, Shi He, and Ye Lingfeng.

[Damn, the Taoist priest from Legend of Lu Xiaofeng has appeared. This is really messy.]

Chen Liu brought Wang Yuyan and the other women to Wudang Mountain for a visit. If it were just Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and Huang Rong, they might not even have been able to meet the Wudang Sect's top brass, as they were relatively unknown in the Ming Dynasty. However, with Lianxing around, things were different. While Yihua Palace's reputation in the Ming Dynasty wasn't as high as Wudang Sect's, it was still a major force. Therefore, Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the others were personally received by Song Yuanqiao, and even met Mu Dao Ren, who happened to be visiting Song Yuanqiao at Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Wudang.

[Tsk, Mu Dao Ren, he's a ruthless figure. Even Lu Xiaofeng can't do anything to him. But this is the world of Zongwu, and with Zhang Sanfeng in charge, I don't think Mu Dao Ren can do anything in the Wudang Sect.]

Taoist Mu saw that Song Yuanqiao was busy, so he just exchanged a few words with Chen Liu Lianxing before taking his leave. The host and the guest sat down, and Song Yuanqiao instructed his disciples to serve tea to Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and the other girls.

"Hero Song, isn't Master Zhang here?"

"My master is in seclusion now." Song Yuanqiao said with a smile.
