But after all, he was a figure who had been on the list of gods in the Southern Song Dynasty for many years. His sudden death in Jinxiu Villa naturally caused an uproar in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The prestige of Jinxiu Villa was truly established in the Southern Song Dynasty and became an influential force.

Therefore, Su Yun, using the power of destroying the Xingxiu Sect, demanded that a heroes' conference be convened to deal with two major events in the Southern Song martial arts world related to "Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South". Even Quanzhen Taoism and Shaolin Buddhism had to give him this face and send people to participate in this heroes' conference.

Coupled with the covert and overt publicity by the Imperial City Bureau's spies in the underworld, Su Yun's reputation soared.

The title of "Young Master Jinxiu" was almost replacing Guo Jing, and he became a new generation of hero known to every household in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Su Yun was not satisfied with this title, not because he did not have many outstanding achievements after becoming a celestial being.

Therefore, the title given to him by the Tianji Mansion on the Heavenly List was "Young Master Jinxiu" instead of "Golden and Jade House" as most people in the martial arts world called him before.

In less than two months, Fengming Town had become so prosperous that it was overcrowded with people and was filled with wanderers.

The most powerful forces in the Southern Song Dynasty's underworld also arrived one after another.

Chapter 22: Master and Disciple of the Tomb Clan

"Master, the big party outside is coming, it's time to go out."

Mu Nianci lowered her head and walked into the room, reporting the situation in the front hall.

Hearing the voice, Su Yun lowered his head and saw Huang Rong's extremely beautiful face kneeling in front of him. Her watery eyes looked at him innocently, her cheeks flushed and concave due to sucking.

"Didn't you hear Nian Nu say someone is coming? Why don't you work harder!"

Su Yun reached out his hand arrogantly and grabbed the two switches that were as upright as bamboo shoots and as pink as cherry blossom petals.

Huang Rong's eyes showed resentment. She immediately stopped taking her time to do the work and instead worked at full speed, just like an assembly line in a factory.

After Su Yun left satisfied, Guo Fu knelt on the ground and helped her clean the remaining moisture on her face. Then, the mother and daughter kissed each other passionately, their tongues mingling, competing for the essence in each other's mouths.

If an outsider saw this scene, they would be shocked, but for these two, it has already become a daily routine.

lobby.

"Lin Moxue of the Tomb Clan has met Master Jinxiu."

"Grandmaster Lin of the Ancient Tomb Sect has arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please... who is this?"

Su Yun was wearing a white robe with gold edges. He had an elegant demeanor and a gentle and indifferent smile, which made him seem approachable.

He first politely greeted Lin Chaoying's maid, now the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and then his eyes fell on a delicate and pretty girl beside her.

The girl had a pretty face, clear eyes, shiny black and smooth hair, and pretty facial features that made one know at a glance that she was a beauty.

The white long dress was worn on the tender body and seemed to be worn on the heart as well, making the little girl look cold. She was not as lively as other children. Instead, she had a cold temperament and followed Lin Moxue with an expressionless face.

Lin Moxue took the opportunity to glance at the little girl, with a bit of doting and helplessness in her eyes, and said: "This is my last disciple Long Er, outsiders often call her Little Dragon Girl. Long Er, why don't you greet Master Jinxiu?"

"Long'er meets Master Uncle Jinxiu."

Xiao Longnu greeted him very sensibly, which almost broke Su Yun's defense. He didn't know when he had become an uncle.

But Lin Moxue frowned, her dark eyebrows overlapping distant mountains, and smiled softly:

"Children don't know the rules, please forgive me, Master Jinxiu."

According to the rules, Su Yun, as a celestial being, should actually be on equal terms with Lin Chaoying. There is no need for him to receive them in person. He can just arrange for a few close disciples or relatives to receive them.

But the problem is that Su Yun rose to prominence too quickly and he has no disciples at all. As for relatives, that is even more nonsense. You can't let the maid go to greet them.

Therefore, Su Yun would not care about the person who was regarded as a senior apprentice by Xiao Longnu. He shook his head and chuckled, saying:

"No problem, please take a seat, Master Lin."

Apart from Lin Moxue from the Ancient Tomb Sect who was slightly stunning, and Xiaolongnu who was aloof and cold, and had grown up to Su Yun's taste at a young age, the only person who could catch Su Yun's eye was Cheng Yaojia, the young lady of Guiyun Manor.

She came with her husband Lu Guanying.

The two came to attend this heroic conference because Guo Jing, who had been missing for a long time, actually appeared in Jinxiu Villa. In addition, the place where Huang Rong and Guo Fu disappeared happened to be near Fengming Town, which led to the two of them coming.

However, neither their identities nor their status were enough to allow them to enter the reception room, so Mu Nianci, under Su Yun's instructions, chose a special courtyard for them.

After meeting the people from Shaolin and Quanzhen sects, he no longer showed up and left all reception matters to Mu Nianci.

He was having a chat with several powerful forces in the reception room.

Such a scene instantly exposed the weakness of Jinxiu Villa, which rose too quickly and had insufficient foundation, to the eyes of all factions.

However, when people thought about the fact that Su Yun was only in his early twenties, they gave up some of those thoughts.

The Quanzhen Sect was led by Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and his junior fellow disciple Wang Chuyi.

The purpose of their coming was to meet Su Yun, this heavenly man, and to ask Guo Jing something.

"Master Su has shown me great hospitality. I am deeply grateful, but I have a question. I wonder if I should ask it or not?"

"Since you don't know, there's no need to tell you," Su Yun didn't tolerate Qiu Chuji's bad habit of making sarcastic remarks. After giving him a sidelong glance, he continued to tease Xiao Longnu with the cakes, and was naturally ignored by the beautiful girl.

He didn't get angry, but smiled and continued, "If it was a good thing, would Changchun Zhenren be so entangled?"

Qiu Chuji was speechless.

However, since there was no Huashan Sword Contest for the Nine Yin Scriptures and no threat from the Jin Kingdom, Wang Chongyang was not injured and is now still comprehending the Great Way of Heaven and Man.

Lin Chaoying, a member of the Ancient Tomb Sect who was also in Mount Zhongnan, also did not pass away.

Since the two families have always adhered to the principle of advancing and retreating together, Qiu Chuji felt at ease to include Lin Chaoying in the Quanzhen Sect. In addition, the naughty old boy Zhou Botong, with the background of three celestial beings, made him not afraid of Su Yun.

"Having said that, there are some things I have to say..." Although Qiu Chuji has been practicing Taoism for many years, he is an impatient person who cannot sit still (in martial arts novels, not in history). After Su Yun's retort, he became more resentful, but he did not dare to lose his temper because of Su Yun's status as a celestial being.

But he still said:

"May I ask, Master Su, why is my nephew Guo Jing in Jinxiu Villa? The person who is receiving him outside is my disciple's wife Mu Nianci?"

Wang Chuyi had seen Mu Nianci before, but she had changed so much that he was not sure, which was why Qiu Chuji asked this question.

"Yes." Su Yun did not deny it. He raised his eyelids unhappily and said, "As for why they are here in my Jinxiu Villa, it is of course because they want to."

"But..." Qiu Chuji wanted to speak.

Su Yun threw the cakes back into the fruit plate with an unhappy look on his face and said lightly:

"Today, Su is holding this hero conference. First, he is inviting Qiao Feng to defend himself and prove his innocence. Second, he is asking Murong Fu to come and prove that he has not done those things. Why does the old Taoist priest want to hold on to his daughter?"

Qiu Chuji's face was gloomy, but he didn't get angry. He could only blush and say in a low voice: "As for Mu Nianci, I don't care. But where is my disciple's posthumous son Yang Guo?"

"He?"

Su Yun was too lazy to argue with Qiu Chuji and said, "Of course he has something to do. The old Taoist priest hasn't looked for him for so many years. Why should he pretend to be concerned and make people laugh?"

"Hmph!" Qiu Chuji was rebuked one after another. If he hadn't been pulled back by his junior brother Wang Chuyi, he would definitely not have been able to leave the reception room today.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Shaolin Abbot Xuanci and Lin Moxue quickly tried to smooth things over.

After much persuasion, the matter was finally taken over and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

The martial arts conference was not held on that day. After all, the Xixia people were still a few days away, so it was too early to hold it now.

So Su Yun postponed the Heroes Conference to two days later on the grounds that Murong Fu and Qiao Feng had not arrived yet.

However, Jinxiu Villa becomes really lively after dark.

Chapter 23 Digging a Hole

into the night.

A masked figure in night clothes quietly climbed into Jinxiu Villa. She climbed over the wall silently and landed silently. Her footsteps were like stepping on flying catkins and she was as nimble as a cat.

The moment he landed, he quickly moved to the corner, crouched down, crossed his left arm in front of him, and quietly observed his surroundings.

After finding that there was no one around, Ah Zi heaved a sigh of relief. "I boasted so much, but in the end there weren't even many people on guard! It's a waste of all the time I spent planning..."

She rummaged in her clothes for a long time, carefully took out a bamboo tube, opened the stopper, and a three-inch-long centipede came out of the tube, shaking its head. As if stimulated by something, it crawled in one direction unswervingly.

"Over there!" Ah Zi's eyes showed surprise, and she pretended to be a centipede again, taking light steps and walking towards that direction cautiously.

After walking and stopping along the way, releasing centipedes from time to time to determine the direction, A Zi finally found the location of the Shenmu King Cauldron!

But the biggest difficulty arose: large groups of poisonous insects densely covered the ground, grass, and cracks between rocks. Even when you stepped on the ground, you could feel something soft and crawling on the soles of your shoes.

Ah Zi was feeling embarrassed when she suddenly heard a few faint sounds of breaking wind and quickly hid herself.

They were three guests who came out for a "wander" at night.

Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi of Quanzhen Sect, and Lu Guanying of Guiyun Villa.

"Master Qiu, how can you be sure that Uncle Guo is here?" Lu Guanying asked in a low voice.

He is the son of Lu Chengfeng, a disciple of Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island. In terms of seniority, he should be considered the third-generation disciple of Peach Blossom Island.

Guo Jing married Huang Rong, so naturally she was his uncle.

Qiu Chuji sneered, "My Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Kungfu can make one feel as light as a feather if practiced to a high level, and even allow one to briefly stop in the air. Su Yun is shallow in background after all, and even though he is a celestial being, he is still arrogant. Today I saw him swaggering here with food in his arms. Even if Jing'er is not here, there must be someone important imprisoned here."

"But what should we do with all these poisonous insects on the ground?" Wang Chuyi's scalp went numb when he saw the densely packed poisonous insects on the ground.

His strength is only at the Grandmaster level. Although Qiu Chuji is stronger than him, he is not much stronger. As for Lu Guanying, he is at the Innate level and cannot even protect his body with true Qi.

Qiu Chuji's brows were furrowed and he looked troubled. He could use the Golden Goose Skill to get through, but he really didn't have the confidence to explore the dark place alone.

Lu Guanying cupped his hands and said, "It's better to let the younger generation do this. I have a precious medicine on Peach Blossom Island called Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills. It can be taken internally to treat internal injuries and applied externally to drive away poisonous insects. Please follow me, Taoist priests, and be careful."

The two old Taoists were overjoyed and followed Lu Guanying.

Ah Zi hid herself behind the bushes and waited for the three people to enter the secret passage. Her big eyes rolled around and a smile appeared on her face, feeling that she was so lucky.

But just as she stood up, someone pressed her acupuncture points from behind. A helpless voice rang out: "You are stubborn! I thought if you knew that men were men, I would pretend that I didn't see you, but unfortunately... Alas!"

Mu Nianci walked up to Ah Zi and pulled off her face scarf, then reached out and touched her body a few times, nodded and said, "You look good, little girl, and have a nice body. Don't go there to die, go to the dungeon instead!"

Ah Zi's heart sank to the bottom. She wanted to resist, but unfortunately her acupoints had been pressed and she couldn't move at all. She could only watch herself being taken away by Mu Nianci.

……

In the dungeon.

None of the three idiots noticed what was happening above, and all three of them were fully prepared for possible crises.

But the three of them were almost out of the corridor and had not encountered any mechanism, which made them a little confused.

"Apart from poisonous insects, there is no other protection here. Could this be the place where Su Yun practices poison skills?" Wang Chuyi looked around in confusion.

Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment and said slowly, "There are many people in the world who practice poison skills, but in the territory of Southern Song, there are only the Western Poison Ouyang Feng who lives in Baituo Villa, the former leader of the Iron Palm Gang Qiu Qianren, and the deceased Star Constellation Old Monster Ding Chunqiu. None of them can make the gods put so much effort into it."

But he was the most knowledgeable among the three, and if he didn’t know, how could Wang Chuyi and Lu Guanying know?

The three of them had no choice but to walk on.

After exiting the corridor, there was a spacious secret room where a burly man as big as an iron tower sat. His hair was green from root to tip, and his eyebrows and eyes were also green. His face was pale.

However, even so, Qiu Chuji recognized this nephew who was once his "closest" nephew at the first moment, and couldn't help but said happily: "Jing'er!" There was shock and anger on his face, and some of his joy was drowned out at the first moment.

Qiu Chuji never thought that the person who practiced poison skills was not Su Yun, but Guo Jing!

Guo Jing was not surprised to see the three people. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"The master said, kill the old one and leave two..."

He said this abruptly and his move was quite swift.

In a flash, Guo Jing's figure appeared behind Wang Chuyi's voice, and his inch-long, emerald green fingernails pierced through the back of Wang Chuyi's head, killing him on the spot!

The speed was so fast that even Qiu Chuji, the most powerful among the three, could not see clearly how he moved, and his fellow apprentice lost his life!

Qiu Chuji knew at this point that Guo Jing must have been manipulated by Su Yun. He suppressed his grief, grabbed Lu Guanying's shoulders and threw him out, shouting, "Run away! Tell them what happened here!"

Lu Guanying knew that Qiu Chuji was talking about those heroes in the martial arts world, so he gritted his teeth and ran out desperately.

however!

Before Lu Guanying ran into the corridor, Guo Jing's figure had already appeared in front of him.

boom!

Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground behind him, Lu Guanying thought that Guo Jing had killed Qiu Chuji, and said angrily:

"Uncle Guo, that's Taoist Priest Qiu, how can you kill him!"

Guo Jing had an expressionless face. He slapped Lu Guanying unconscious with a slap, dragged one of his legs, and threw him onto Qiu Chuji, then continued to practice the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter.

Although he still has his previous memories as a war slave, he is now just a war slave who follows Su Yun's orders.
