Linghu Chong sadly stood nonetheless for a very long time till the moon was straight above his head. The night time was nonetheless and he contemplated over the occasions that occurred on the Plum Manor. He determined to return to the manor to know what had occurred and in addition to rescue senior Ren if he was not a foul individual.

Having lastly selected this plan of action, he began his journey again to the Plum Manor. He went up Mount Gu and approached the Plum Manor by means of the forest surrounding it. He listened for sounds contained in the manor and after awhile, having heard no sound, he frivolously jumped over the fence onto the manor’s floor. All of the ten or extra rooms contained in the manor had been shrouded in darkness. Nevertheless, there was one window on his proper with lights from contained in the room. He silently walked throughout the bottom and crouched beneath that window. From contained in the room, he heard the voice of an individual.

The voice sounded very strict. “Mr. Huang Zhong, are you aware your crime?”

Linghu Chong was shocked. He puzzled what Mr. Huang Zhong’s place was on this manor when there was somebody who may really use this sort of tone when talking to him. He peered contained in the room from a crack within the window and was capable of see 4 individuals sitting in a row. Three of those are males round fifty to sixty years previous whereas the opposite one is a center aged lady. They had been all carrying black robes with a yellow belt tied round their waists. Mr. Huang Zhong, Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint had been standing in entrance of them with their backs to the window. From this, Linghu Chong may inform that these individuals sitting have increased rank than them.

“Sure, your subordinate is aware of his crime. On the elders’ arrival, we did not go far to welcome you. Very responsible, very responsible,” Linghu Chong heard Mr. Huang Zhong’s reply.

“Hmm, not going far to welcome us, is that this against the law? The place’s Black-White? Why would not he come out to see me?” the gentleman sitting within the center coldly requested.

Linghu Chong laughed inside, “Mr. Black-White has been imprisoned by me contained in the underground jail, however Mr. Huang Zhong and the remainder of them thought that he has run away from the manor.” He additionally thought, “What elder? What subordinate? All of them should be individuals from the satan cult.”

“4 elders, your subordinate has not been strict sufficient. Mr. Black-White’s temperament is unusual and not too long ago he has been performing like his former self. In the previous couple of days, he has unexpectedly disappeared from the manor,” Mr. Huang Zhong replied.

This elder’s eye flashed and stared at Mr. Huang Zhong.

“Mr. Huang Zhong, Chief ordered you 4 to protect the Plum Manor. Nevertheless, from what we heard, you have been enjoying zither, ingesting wine, drawing and enjoying go. Is that this true?” the elder coldly requested.

“We 4 subordinates have accepted Chief’s order to remain right here and guard the traitor,” Mr. Huang Zhong replied whereas bowing.

“That’s right. How’s that traitor doing?” the elder requested.

“We will report back to the elder that the traitor continues to be being held contained in the underground jail. Over the past twelve years, subordinate has by no means stepped foot exterior the Plum Manor. We don’t dare to chill out our guard,” Mr. Huang Zhong reported.

“Excellent, excellent. You by no means stepped foot exterior the Plum Manor and don’t dare to chill out your guard. So for positive that traitor continues to be being held contained in the underground jail?” the elder questioned.

“That is true,” Mr. Huang Zhong replied.

Abruptly, that elder lifted his head and laughed loudly dealing with the roof. The mud from the ceiling was seen falling across the room.

“Excellent! Carry that traitor right here for us to have a look at,” shouted the elder.

“4 elders, please forgive us. Chief’s strict order was to not let anybody go to the traitor aside from Chief himself. We do not dare,” replied Mr. Huang Zhong.

The elder took out one thing from inside his gown and lifted the thing he took out excessive above his head. The opposite three elders stood up instantly as effectively, trying on the object reverently. Linghu Chong squinted his eye making an attempt to have a look at the thing. It was a half-foot excessive dried up black wooden. On prime of the thing was some sort of flowery patterns carved on it which regarded utterly unusual to Linghu Chong.

Seeing this object, Mr. Huang Zhong and the remainder of the individuals within the room bowed in direction of the thing.

“Chief’s Black Command Wooden is right here, it is as if Chief himself is right here, subordinate is able to obtain order,” Mr. Huang Zhong stated.

“Good, deliver that traitor right here!” commanded the elder.

“That traitor’s palms and ft are certain in metallic chains. We won’t…. we will not deliver him up right here,” stated Mr. Huang Zhong hesitantly.

“Even till this second, you continue to refuse to deliver him right here. I ask you, has that traitor escaped?” the elder requested coldly.

“That traitor… that traitor has escaped? Im.. unattainable. That individual continues to be locked away within the underground jail. I’ve simply seen him not too long ago with my very own eyes. How… how can he have escaped?” Mr. Huang Zhong answered in fright.

“Oh, so he is nonetheless within the underground jail. I’ve wronged you. Please forgive me,” the elder spoke warmly with a softened expression.

Then, the elder stood up and slowly approached Mr. Huang Zhong. It regarded like that he was going to apologise to the three masters of the Plum Manor. However he abruptly prolonged one hand to pat Mr. Huang Zhong’s shoulder. Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint concurrently retreated two steps in a rush. Though their actions had been actually quick, that elder’s hand moved even quicker. Two sounds “bang, bang” will be heard as each of Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint’s proper shoulders had been hit. As he carried out this sneak assault, the elder was nonetheless displaying a smile on his face. Truly, even with Mr. Huang Zhong’s talent in Jiang Hu, he had no likelihood of avoiding this sneak assault. Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint’s abilities had been inferior, so even when they had been conscious of the assault, they’d no likelihood of escaping the strikes.

“Elder Bao, what sin have we dedicated? Why do you utilize such a vicious technique to take care of us?” stated Mr. Paint loudly. He sounded each injured and offended.

“Chief ordered you to protect the traitor right here. However you have let that traitor escaped. Do not you suppose you need to die?” the smirking Elder Bao stated slowly.

“If that traitor has actually escaped, then subordinate deserves to die. However he is nonetheless being held within the underground jail. Elder Bao, you are too vicious, we brothers can’t settle for this,” replied Mr. Huang Zhong indignantly, as he was leaning barely to 1 facet.

Linghu Chong exterior the window may see Mr. Huang Zhong sweating profusely. He thought that Elder Bao’s palm strike was excellent as he managed to subdue Mr. Huang Zhong, whose kung fu was already highly effective, utilizing just one palm. Nevertheless, he additionally thought that Mr. Huang Zhong’s kung fu couldn’t be inferior to Elder Bao’s. If not for Elder Bao’s sneak assault, Mr. Huang Zhong might not have misplaced.

“Go to the underground jail and take a look. If that traitor continues to be in there, I… humph… I, Bao Dachu, offers you three kowtows to apologise. Naturally, I can even instantly forgive you from this sin,” stated Elder Bao.

“Okay, 4 elders please wait right here,” stated Mr. Huang Zhong.

Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint instantly went out of the room to comply with Mr. Huang Zhong. Linghu Chong trembled as he noticed these three individuals strolling away from the room. He thought that he shivered due to the accidents nonetheless affecting him. However it was merely as a result of he was excited from watching all of the issues occurring proper in entrance of his eyes.

Fearing the 4 individuals contained in the room detecting him, he did not dare to look inside once more and slowly sat down on the bottom.

“The Chief they’re speaking about should be the present world’s primary Dongfang Bubai. He assigned the 4 Playfellows of Jiangnan to protect this traitor they usually’ve been at it for 12 years now. After all the traitor they’re speaking about is not me then. It should be that senior Ren. And he has managed to flee with out Mr. Huang Zhong and different’s information. Wow, this senior Ren is basically resourceful. That is proper! All of them actually did not know that senior Ren has escaped. In any other case, Mr. Black-White would not have mistaken me for senior Ren,” thought Linghu Chong.

Pondering that when Mr. Huang Zhong and his brothers entered the underground jail and recognised Mr. Black-White, issues will get very sophisticated for them; Linghu Chong felt great and really blissful.

“Why did additionally they imprison me within the underground jail? All I did was to match sword artwork towards senior Ren. They have to’ve been afraid that I might leak their secret out, so that they locked me up in there too. Humph, that is known as eliminating a possible informant with out homicide. However eliminating a possible informant on this method is simply the identical as homicide. This time, they’d be those to endure difficulties. See how they prefer it. It will repay for the unsuitable that they did to me,” thought Linghu Chong indignantly.

Linghu Chong heard the 4 individuals contained in the room sat again down with out saying a single phrase. He did not dare to breathe loudly. Regardless that there is a wall that separate him with the 4 individuals within the room, the space between them is simply round 10 ft. He solely needed to breathe barely closely they usually’d be capable of detect him instantly.

Abruptly, a cry of “ah” might be heard within the nonetheless and quiet night time. It sounded filled with ache and dread. Whoever heard it couldn’t assist however really feel completely terrified. When Linghu Chong recognised that it was Mr. Black-White’s voice, he felt sorry for him. Nevertheless, this Mr. Black-White had plotted his personal demise, it might be stated that the results matched his personal motion. However now that he has fallen on Elder Bao’s hand, that is much more unlucky for Mr. Black-White.

He may hear their steps coming nearer. Then, he heard Mr. Huang Zhong and his brothers getting into the room. Linghu Chong edged nearer to the window’s crack to have a look contained in the room. Inside, he may see Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint carrying Mr. Black-White. Mr. Black-White’s face was pale and his eyes lacked any spirit. The ambiance contained in the room was utterly completely different than earlier than.

“Report… Reporting to the 4 Elders. That traitor has… has escaped. Subordinate is able to obtain loss of life,” stated Mr. Huang Zhong whereas bowing down.

He regarded like he already knew what his destiny could be. His speech was calm and picked up, not like earlier than.

“You stated that Black-White will not be within the manor, how come he is right here now? How can it’s?” calmly replied Bao Dachu.

“All types of causes. Truly subordinate is basically confused. Ai, all as a result of we 4 subordinates are too engrossed within the arts and has let different individuals checked out our weaknesses. They usually have managed to remove that traitor from proper beneath our noses,” replied Mr. Huang Zhong.

“We 4 individuals have obtained Chief’s order to come back right here and confirm that the traitor has escaped. It appears that you’ve got reported in truth now and isn’t making an attempt to deceive us anymore. Then… then, perhaps we will plead mercy to Chief in your behalf,” stated Bao Dachu.

Mr. Huang Zhong sighed and stated, “Even contemplating Chief’s mercy and the 4 elders’ compassions, how can we, subordinates, nonetheless reside on this world with all this disgrace? The entire occasion could be very sophisticated, subordinate would not perceive the true story. Even after we have died, we can’t be content material. Elder Bao, is Chief… is Chief in Hangzhou metropolis in the meanwhile?”

“Who stated Chief is in Hangzhou metropolis?”

“That traitor has simply escaped yesterday, how did Chief find out about this so quick and despatched 4 elders to Plum Manor instantly?”

“Humph… you are turning into an increasing number of silly. Who stated that traitor escaped yesterday?”

“That individual actually escaped yesterday at midday. At the moment, we three individuals thought that individual was Mr. Black-White. We did not know that he had switched locations with Mr. Black-White. He was carrying Mr. Black-White’s gown when he escaped. On this matter, we three brothers… 4 brothers are sure. Additionally, there’s nonetheless Ding Jian, who that traitor knocked down, and obtained a number of of his ribs damaged…” Mr. Huang Zhong stated assuredly.

Bao Dachu turned his head to have a look at the opposite three elders.

“This individual is speaking nonsense. I do not know what he is speaking about,” scowled Elder Bao.

“We obtained the message final month on the 14th…” A fats and brief elder stated whereas calculating together with his fingers. “That is the seventeenth day.”

Mr. Huang Zhong fiercely withdrew two steps and hit the wall with a “bang”.

“No… This cannot be! We’re actually sure. We noticed him escaped yesterday with our personal eyes.”

Mr. Huang Zhong walked to the door and shouted “Shi Lingwei, deliver Ding Jian right here!”

“Sure!” Shi Lingwei replied from someplace distant.

Bao Dachu walked as much as Mr. Black-White, grabbed his chest, and lifted him up. Mr. Black-White’s palms and ft had been dangling down. It appeared that every one the bones in his physique had been damaged. His physique regarded like a sack of leather-based.

Bao Dachu misplaced all color from his face as if he was scared to loss of life. He rapidly let go of Mr. Black-White’s physique, which crumpled to the bottom.

“Right, that is that bastard’s … that bastard’s Artwork of Essence Absorbing. It may possibly soak up the entire physique’s power clear,” stated a tall and powerful trying elder, his voice quivering and looking out utterly scared.

“When did you get in his method?” Bao Dachu requested Mr. Black-White.

“It… It… was yesterday. That bastard… that bastard grabbed my proper wrist. I… I could not transfer in any respect. He managed me utterly,” answered Mr. Black-White.

Bao Dachu regarded utterly baffled. His face muscle twitched barely and his eyes regarded bewildered.

“And after that?”

“He then pulled me by means of the outlet within the iron gate, eliminated my gown and wore it. Then he shackled my palms and ft with the metal chains. He then escaped… escaped by means of that gap.”

Bao Dachu scowled and requested, “Yesterday? How can it’s yesterday?”

“The shackles for the palms and ft had been made out of metal. How did he break them?” requested the fats and brief trying elder.

“I do not know,” answered Mr. Black-White.

“Subordinate examined the shackles and located that they had been sawed by means of by a high-quality metal noticed. I do not know the place this bastard obtained the noticed from,” stated Mr. Bald-Brush.

After Mr. Bald-Brush completed talking, Shi Lengwei and two servants entered the room bringing Ding Jian and laid him down on the carpet. Ding Jian’s physique was lined by a skinny quilt. Bao Dachu lifted the quilt and frivolously poked his chest. Ding Jian screamed, displaying that he was in excessive ache. Bao Dachu nodded and waved his hand telling them to take Ding Jian away. Shi Lingwei and the 2 servants carried Ding Jian out of the room.

“This hit is unquestionably brought on by that bastard,” stated Bao Dachu.

The center-aged lady who till this second had not stated a single phrase but, abruptly stated “Elder Bao, if that bastard escaped yesterday, then the message we obtained final month should be a faux. That bastard’s follower continues to be exterior spreading confusion, making an attempt to make us sway in our loyalty.”

Elder Bao shook his head and stated, “It can’t be a faux.”

“Can’t be a faux?” requested the middle-aged lady.

“Lord Xue Xiang’s entire physique was lined by a metallic robe. He used this metallic robe to practise kung fu and even a sabre can’t chop by means of it. However somebody managed to seize and dig out his coronary heart utilizing simply his 5 fingers. Apart from this bastard, on this world, there is not any second one that can do that… ” reasoned Bao Dachu.

Linghu Chong was misplaced in thought whereas listening to the conversations contained in the room. Abruptly, he felt his shoulder patted by somebody. He was actually startled and rapidly jumped three steps away. He pulled his sword out, turned his head and noticed two individuals standing there.

Because the moon was behind these two individuals, he could not see their faces. One in every of them turned his head and stated, “Brother, let’s go in.”

It was Xiang Wentian’s voice.

Linghu Chong was overjoyed and he whispered “Brother Xiang!”

Nevertheless, the individuals contained in the room had heard the sound of the sword being drawn and Linghu Chong’s reply.

“Who’s on the market?” Bao Dachu shouted.

“Ha Ha Ha,” the individual beside Xiang Wentian laughed loudly.

This snigger shook the tiles contained in the room whereas Linghu Chong began to really feel an insufferable ache. He began to listen to a “weng, weng” sound inside his ear and felt blood dashing up his abdomen. That individual took a step ahead and used each palms to push in direction of the wall. A thunderous sound was heard. In the midst of the wall was now an enormous gap, which that individual then used to enter the room.

Xiang Wentian stretched his hand and grabbed Linghu Chong’s proper hand. They entered the room facet by facet. Contained in the room, the 4 elders had been standing up and had their palms prepared in entrance of them. Their faces regarded very intense. Linghu Chong was anxious to know who this individual was however the individual’s again was dealing with him. He regarded very tall with black hair and was carrying a go well with of blue-green robe.

Bao Dachu’s voice was trembling when he stated, “It is… It is Ren… Senior Ren has arrived.”

“Humph,” that individual answered and took a protracted stride ahead.

Bao Dachu and Mr. Huang Zhong involuntarily took two steps backwards. That individual turned and sat on the chair which Bao Dachu sat in earlier. Linghu Chong now managed to see his face clearly. That individual’s face was lengthy and white as snow, not a hint of blood might be seen on the face. His function was good-looking. However his white complexion was identical to a corpse which had simply come out from the grave.

He beckoned to Xiang Wentian and Linghu Chong, “Brother Xiang, Brother Linghu Chong, please come and sit right here.”

When Linghu Chong heard his voice, he was pleasantly shocked.

“You… You might be Senior Ren?” requested Linghu Chong.

That individual smiled barely and stated “I’m. Your sword artwork perhaps a lot better.”

“You are actually out of hassle already. In the present day… In the present day, I got here right here to rescue you… ” stated Linghu Chong excitedly.

That individual laughed and stated, “In the present day you got here right here to rescue me out of jail, did not you? HaHa, HaHa. Brother Xiang, your brother Ren has so many associates.”

Xiang Wentian pulled Linghu Chong’s hand and seated him on the proper facet of Senior Ren. Then he sat himself down on the left facet.

“Brother Linghu is basically honest in coping with individuals. You are actually the world’s most upright and couragous individual,” stated Xiang Wentian.

“Brother Linghu, you have given up greater than two months of your life to reside at the hours of darkness underground jail. I really feel very sorry for you. HaHa, HaHa!” stated that individual.

By now, Linghu Chong had an inkling however was not capable of utterly perceive what was happening.

With a smile on his face, that individual Ren checked out Linghu Chong and stated, “You had been imprisoned for greater than two months due to me, however in that point you have completed studying the Artwork of Essence Absorbing that I had written on the iron panel. Hey Hey, meaning I’ve paid you again on your time in there.”

“That secret on the iron panel was written by senior?” requested Linghu Chong in shock.

“If it wasn’t me, then who else on the earth is aware of Artwork of Essence Absorbing?” answered that individual with a smile.

“Brother, Chief Ren’s Artwork of Essence Absorbing has been handed on to you solely. Congratulations!” stated Xiang Wentian.

“Chief Ren?” requested Linghu Chong confused.

“Initially, if you arrived right here, you did not know Chief Ren’s place. Chief Ren is the chief of Solar Moon Sect. His identify is “Woxing”. Have you ever heard of this identify earlier than?” requested Xiang Wentian.

Linghu Chong knew that “Solar Moon Sect” was the Satan sect, however he did not know the origin of this sect. And the Jiang Hu individuals largely knew of this faith by the identify Satan Sect, and Satan Sect’s chief had all the time been Dongfang Bubai. The place did Ren Woxing come out from?

“Chief… Chief Ren’s identify, I discovered it carved on the iron panel, however I did not know that he was Chief,” muttered Linghu Chong.

The tall and powerful trying elder abruptly shouted, “What Chief is he? Everybody beneath the heaven is aware of that our Solar Moon Sect’s chief is Chief Dongfang. This individual Ren was expelled a very long time in the past for rebelling towards our sect. Xiang Wentian, what you stated was heresy, it is a massive sin.”

Ren Woxing slowly turned his head and stared at this elder. He then requested, “You might be Qin Weibang, aren’t you?”

“Right,” stated that tall and powerful trying elder.

“After I was the Chief, you had been the grasp of our Jiangxi headquarter, right?” requested Ren Woxing.

“That is proper!” answered Qin Weibang.

Ren Woxing sighed and stated, “You are now one of many Sect’s 10 elders. You had been promoted fairly rapidly, do not you suppose? How come Dongfang Bubai charges you so extremely? Is it due to your martial artwork or is it due to you may maintain sect’s enterprise?”

“I am loyal to the sect and takes care of sect’s enterprise. Additionally, my accomplishments up to now 10 years earned my promotion,” replied Qin Weibang.

Ren Woxing nodded his head and stated, “That is not too dangerous.”

Abruptly, Ren Woxing’s physique shook. Earlier than anybody can react, he was already in entrance of Bao Dachu. His left hand rapidly shot out and grabbed Bao Dachu’s throat. Bao Dachu was startled and he tried utilizing his proper hand, formed in a knife-form, to deflect the seize but it surely was too late. So he used his left elbow to guard his throat. On the identical time, he used his left foot to retreat a step, whereas utilizing his knife-form proper hand to hack down. This was completed right away, one hand defending tightly and one hand attacking fiercely. A smart method to make use of.

However Ren Woxing wasn’t completed but. His proper hand was now coming in quick to seize Bao Dachu’s proper hand. Earlier than Bao Dachu was ready to make use of his knife-form proper hand to cut down, his chest was grabbed and his robe torn open. In Ren Woxing’s left hand was now an object that he is grabbed from inside Bao Dachu’s robe. It was the Black Command Wooden. Along with his proper hand turned over, he twisted Bao Dachu’s proper wrist.

On the identical time, three “dang, dang, dang” sounds had been heard. This was Xiang Wentian utilizing his lengthy sword to separate Qin Weibang and the opposite two elders from Bao Dachu. Every of the three elders had drawn their weapons. Xiang Wentian had attacked 3 times, however these assaults had been solely meant to stop the three elders from serving to Bao Dachu. When these three assaults had been completed, Bao Dachu was utterly beneath Ren Woxing’s management.

Ren Woxing smiled and stated, “I have never used my Artwork of Essence Absorbing but, you wanna style it?”

Bao Dachu knew that if he did not give up then he could be killed right away. He has no different possibility however to give up. So he made the choice rapidly and stated, “Chief Ren, Bao Dachu any further vows loyalty and devotion to you.”

“As soon as up to now, you swore loyalty to me and then you definately betrayed me,” answered Ren Woxing.

“Chief Ren, please enable subordinate to atone for my sin by pledging my service to you,” quivered Bao Dachu.

“Alright! Eat this capsule first,” stated Ren Woxing and launched his wrist.

He took out a small medication bottle from his chest. He turned it over to get a fiery crimson capsule out and threw the capsule over to Bao Dachu. Bao Dachu grabbed the capsule. With out taking a look at it, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

“This… This capsule is “Three Corpse Mind” capsule?” muttered Qin Weibang.

Ren Woxing nodded his head and stated “Right. That is undoubtedly the “Three Corpse Mind”!”

He took out six extra “Three Corpse Mind” tablets and threw it on the desk. The tablets rolled on the desk.

“Are you aware how horrible these “Three Corpse Mind” tablets are?” requested Ren Woxing.

“After taking the mind capsule, our lives might be in Chief’s hand, so we should endlessly comply with Chief’s order. In any other case, the corpse bugs within the capsule might be launched and they’re going to enter the mind and begin consuming it. The ache could be insufferable. Additionally, you’ll turn into insane identical to a loopy canine,” defined Bao Dachu.

“What you stated could be very true. You already knew the effectivity of my mind capsule, how come you continue to took it?” requested Ren Woxing.

“To any extent further, subordinate might be loyal to Chief endlessly. Regardless that this mind capsule could be very environment friendly, it is irrelevant to me.”

“HaHa! HaHa! Excellent! Excellent! Who else desires to take these tablets?” stated Ren Woxing laughing.

Mr. Huang Zhong, Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint checked out one another in dismay. Together with Qin Weibang and the opposite two elders, these six individuals had been in Solar Moon Sect for a really very long time. In order that they already knew that the corpse bugs contained in the “Three Corpse Mind” capsule did not simply escape abruptly. Often, at midday yearly on the dragon boat competition, they needed to take the medication to restrain the corpse bugs. In the event that they did not, then the corpse bugs could be launched. As soon as the bugs entered the mind, this individual would turn into like a ghost and would now not have the capability to motive. He would additionally lose all rationality. He would even eat his personal dad and mom or spouse. No different poison on the earth is as potent as this. Moreover, the “Three Corpse Mind” tablets had been made by many various individuals and have completely different natures. So Chief Dongfang’s medication would not have any impact on Ren Woxing’s “Three Corpse Mind” poison.

They had been all scared to loss of life hesitating what to do. Abruptly, Mr. Black-White stated loudly, “Chief, have mercy, please. Subordinate will take one first.” He was struggling to the desk to take the capsule. Ren Woxing frivolously brushed away together with his sleeve. Mr. Black-White was hit and fell arduous on the bottom, his mind matter scattered everywhere in the wall.

“You are a crippled and have misplaced all of your martial artwork already. Do not waste my surprise capsule,” coldly smiled Ren Woxing.

“Qin Weibang, Wang Cheng, Sang San Niang, you guys do not wish to take my surprise capsule?” requested Ren Woxing as he turned his head to them.

The center-aged lady, Sang San Niang, bowed and stated “Subordinate vows her loyalty to Chief any further.”

The fats and brief trying elder, Wang Cheng, actually stated, “Subordinate sacrifice myself willingly to Chief.”

Each took a capsule every from the desk and swallowed them. These two individuals dreaded Ren Woxing utterly. That they had already seen with their very own eyes Ren Woxing’s ruthlessness. They’d by no means dare to revolt once more.

When Ren Woxing was Chief, Qin Weibang was answerable for the headquarter accountable for a number of districts. He had seen the assorted fierce strategies that Ren Woxing used.

“I will not accompany you!” shouted Qin Weibang as he jumped by means of the outlet within the wall.

“HaHa, HaHa!” laughed Ren Woxing with out making an attempt to cease him escaping.

Qin Weibang’s physique was exterior the wall when a protracted and slender black whip shot out from Xiang Wentian’s left sleeve. Everybody within the room heard a cry of “Ah” from exterior the wall because the whip was now being pulled again by means of the outlet within the wall. Qin Weibang was being dragged again by means of the wall with the whip coiled round his left foot. He struggled with all his may, rolling round on the bottom making an attempt to interrupt free.

“Sang San Niang, take a mind capsule and peel its exterior pores and skin,” stated Ren Woxing.

“Sure!” responded Sang San Niang.

She took one capsule from the desk and used her finger to peel its shell. Contained in the capsule was a small grey colored spherical ball.

“Feed it to him,” ordered Ren Woxing.

“Sure!” answered Sang San Niang. She went in entrance of Qin Weibang and ordered, “Open your mouth!”

He circled and shot out a palm. Regardless that his kung fu was barely above Sang San Niang, however his ankle was beneath the whip’s management. So his palm energy was enormously diminished. Sang San Niang’s left foot kicked his wrist, adopted by her proper foot kicking his chest, and in Yuan yang mandarin model, her left foot kicked once more at his shoulder. These three kicks had sealed his accupoints. She then used her left hand to pinch his jaw forcing it to open and her proper hand put the peeled mind capsule in his mouth. Her proper hand adopted by pinching his throat, making him swallowed the capsule.

Linghu Chong had been observing every thing intently. He thought that these individuals had acted as if this stuff occurred on a regular basis of their regular unusual days.

“This granny’s hand and foot actions are intelligent,” Linghu Chong thought. He did not know that Sang Sa Niang used her “hand capturing” martial artwork to point out off her vitality and distinctive talent to Ren Woxing. Additionally, she wished to point out the Chief that she was loyal to him. Ren Woxing nodded his approval and smiled. Sang San Niang obtained up and stood guard respectfully moreover Qin Weibang.

Ren Woxing circled and checked out Mr. Huang Zhong and his two brothers. They understood that he was asking them whether or not they had been going to take the capsule or not.

With out talking a single phrase, Mr. Bald-Brush went to take a capsule and swallowed it.

Mr. Paint was mumbling to himself earlier than he lastly went and took a capsule.

Mr. Huang Zhong regarded grieved. He took a ebook out of his bosom. This was the “Guang Ling San” music rating. He walked to Linghu Chong and stated, “Your honorable’s martial artwork could be very excessive. You might be additionally very smart to setup this technique to assist Ren Woxing obtained out. I love you. This music rating has harmed us 4 brothers. I return this to you.” He then tossed the music rating to Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong was startled. He then noticed Mr. Huang Zhong circled and walked in direction of the wall. Feeling remorse and sorrow watching Mr. Huang Zhong strolling in direction of the wall, he could not assist considering, “This was all Brother Xiang’s plan to avoid wasting Chief Ren. I did not even know something about it. However Mr. Huang Zhong and the 2 brothers will hate me all the time. I can by no means separate myself from this matter.”

Mr. Huang Zhong leaned towards the wall and stated, “Initially, we 4 brothers entered the Solar Moon Sect with the intention of upholding justice in Jiang Hu. However Chief Ren’s mood was very irritable and he used the facility for his personal acquire. So we 4 brothers did not get entangled a lot in sect’s affairs. When Chief Dongfang turned Chief, he was artful and villainous, and he expelled numerous brothers from the sect. We 4 brothers turned downhearted. So we requested to be despatched right here, to be distant from Darkish Wooden Cliff and to not be concerned in different individuals’s affairs. So we stayed within the West Lake cherishing the humanities. Up to now twelve years, we have loved numerous happiness and luck. A person’s life is filled with fear and in need of happiness. That is destiny… ” Talking till right here, a “heng” sound was heard. His physique slowly dropped down.

“Huge Brother!” shouted Mr. Bald-Brush and Mr. Paint. They ran to Mr. Huang Zhong’s facet to help him. Solely to see a dagger protruding of his coronary heart, his two eyes opened extensive, and his breath had stopped.

“Huge Brother! Huge brother!” cried each of them, their tears pouring down.

Wang Cheng applauded and stated, “This previous fellow did not comply with Chief’s order. Now, he is killed himself fearing his crime. He is additionally added yet one more crime to his identify. What are you two chaps being noisy about?”

Mr. Paint, his face filled with anger, circled. He wished to cost at Wang Cheng disregarding his personal life.

“What? You wanna insurgent?” smirked Wang Cheng.

Mr. Paint remembered that he had taken the “Three Mind Corpse” capsule already. From right here on, he mustn’t defy Ren Woxing’s order in any respect. With this in thoughts, his anger subsided. He merely lowered his head and wiped his tears.

“Carry his corpse and this crippled corpse exterior. Carry within the wine and dishes! In the present day, I am gonna get drunk with Brother Xiang and Brother Linghu!” stated Ren Woxing.

“Instantly!” stated Mr. Bald-Brush after he’d introduced Mr. Huang Zhong’s corpse exterior.

A servant got here in and organized six units of bowls and chopsticks.

“Take away three units. How can we share a desk with Chief?” stated Bao Dachu whereas serving to to setup the bowls and chopsticks.

“You might have labored arduous additionally. Have a drink exterior,” stated Ren Woxing.

Bao Dachu, Wang Cheng, and Sang San Niang bowed collectively and replied “Thanks for Chief’s grace.” They then withdrew out of the room slowly.

After Linghu Chong noticed Mr. Huang Zhong’s suicide, he got here to treat him as a righteous and upright individual. He remembered the day when Mr. Huang Zhong provided to write down a letter to Shaolin Abbot Fang Zheng to deal with Linghu Chong’s sickness. Linghu Chong could not assist however really feel unhappy at Mr. Huang Zhong’s loss of life.

“Brother, you have had a very luck having the ability to study Chief’s Artwork of Essence Absorbing. Let’s hear your story,” stated Xiang Wentian smiling. So Linghu Chong advised them how he discovered the talent on the iron panel and every thing that went on afterwards.

“Congratulations, one of these alternative is basically valuable. It makes brother’s life good and blissful,” stated Xiang Wentian fortunately. As he completed talking, he lifted his wine cup and chugged it down in a mouthful. Ren Woxing and Linghu Chong additionally lifted their wine cups and chugged them down.

Wanting blissful, Ren Woxing stated, “While you take a look at this matter, it’s really very harmful. Initially, once I engraved this martial artwork’s secrets and techniques on the iron panel, I used to be simply feeling melancholy and desirous to kill a while. I did not even have any intention to protect this martial artwork. This divine martial artwork is in fact actual, however I did not go away any course to assist in studying or to keep away from having “fireplace deviation”. That is to stop individuals from getting this talent. There are two main difficulties in studying this divine talent. The primary issue entails scattering the entire physique’s inner power and emptying every thing from the Dantian area. If the interior power will not be emptied out or if it was scattered into the unsuitable acupoints, you’ll get “fireplace deviation”. At greatest, your entire physique might be paralysed and you can be crippled. At worst, your meridians will circulation backwards and you’ll bleed to loss of life from 7 holes in your physique. This martial artwork was created by Cheng Yida a number of hundred years in the past and it’s uncommon to get directions for it. Additionally, only a few individuals completed studying it utterly as a result of this scattering step could be very troublesome. Brother Linghu really had a number of massive benefits. First, you’ve got misplaced all your inner power. So that you did not care about scattering your power and it did not take an excessive amount of effort so that you can full step one. For different individuals, that is probably the most troublesome and harmful step. You, however, handed this step unexpectedly and unwittingly. After scattering your inner power, it’s important to soak up different individuals’s qi instantly. This power from one other individual should be saved in your Dantian after which scattered into your 8 meridians. Ordinarily, this step can also be very troublesome. Your entire inner power has simply been dispersed into the meridians. You then should soak up somebody’s qi. How can this be a straightforward factor to do? Who desires to surrender his life so that you can follow this talent? Brother Linghu once more had a bonus with this second issue. I’ve heard Brother Xiang stated that, there are 8 forms of inner power in your physique from varied masters. Though they’re solely a portion of every individual’s qi, each is already extraordinarily good. Brother Linghu, you have handed these two main obstacles very simply and completed studying the talent. It should be heaven’s will.”

Linghu Chong’s palm was moist with chilly sweat. He stated, “Fortunately all my inner power was misplaced already. In any other case, I do not dare to suppose what would have occurred. Brother Xiang, how did Chief Ren escape from the underground jail? Little brother nonetheless would not understand how this occurred.”

Xiang Wentian chuckled and took out an object from his bosom and put it on Linghu Chong’s palm.

“What’s this?” requested Linghu Chong as he felt a tough ball on his palm. It was the thing that he gave to Ren Woxing on that day. He opened his palm and noticed a metallic ball. There was an inlay with a metallic bead on the ball. He pushed the metallic bead and it circled within the inlay. When he pulled on the bead, an especially high-quality metallic thread got here out of it. The tip of this metallic thread was linked to the ball on his hand. With a row of noticed tooth, this metallic thread was identical to a metallic wire noticed. Linghu Chong was abruptly enlightened.

“In order that was how the shackles on Chief’s palms and ft had been damaged!” exclaimed Linghu Chong.

“I utterly knocked out all 5 of you by laughing a number of instances utilizing my inner power. Then I used that metallic noticed to chop the shackles. How did you take care of Mr. Black-White if you had been escaping? What do you suppose I did?” requested Ren Woxing with a smile.

“First, you switched your garments with mine and then you definately shackled my palms and ft. No surprise Mr. Huang Zhong did not discover what occurred.” beamed Linghu Chong.

“After all, it wasn’t simple to hide this from Mr. Huang Zhong and Mr. Black-White. However after they wakened, Chief and I had already left the Plum Manor. We left them the chess ebook, the music rating, the calligraphy and the portray. Seeing these most likely made them very blissful. How can they think that the individual contained in the jail has escaped?” defined Xiang Wentian.

“Brother’s technique was definitely divine. No different individual may have completed it this effectively.” stated Linghu Chong. However in his coronary heart, he was considering, “You deliberate all of this from the very starting. You deceived these 4 individuals to guide us contained in the jail. However it has been a very long time since Chief escaped. How come it took you so lengthy to rescue me?”

Xiang Wentian observed the change of shade on Linghu Chong’s face and guessed appropriately what Linghu Chong was considering.

With a smile, he stated, “Brother, Chief had many main issues to take care of after the escape from jail. We can’t let the enemy know of the escape on the time. So, it was higher to unsuitable you and allow you to keep beneath the West Lake for a number of days first. Did not we come to rescue you right this moment? Nevertheless, we discovered you have turned dangerous luck into luck and have completed studying this marvelous martial artwork. That ought to compensate on your time in there. HaHaHa. Wasn’t it a good commerce?” Saying this, Xiang Wentian crammed their wine cups to the brim.

Ren Woxing laughed loudly and stated, “Cheers!” Every of them gulped their wine down.

“What honest commerce? I’ve to thank the 2 of you. Initially, I had critical inner accidents that don’t have any remedy on this world. After studying Chief’s divine martial artwork, this inner accidents had been healed, giving me again one life,” smiled Linghu Chong.

The three of them laughed loudly, feeling very blissful.

“Twelve years in the past, Chief went lacking and Dongfang Bubai seized energy. After I came upon about this matter, I may solely bear patiently. So I labored along with Dongfang Bubai with little curiosity. Till not too long ago, once I came upon that Chief was being imprisoned right here. I got here right here immediately to assist Chief escape from this jail. How was I purported to know that once I descended from Darkish Wooden Cliff, that bastard Dongfang Bubai would ship many teams to kill me. Then I by accident met with these orthodox sect scoundrel bastards after they had been having a gathering. Brother, that day on the backside of the valley, you advised me the explanation for dropping your inner power. At the moment, I considered scattering your varied unusual inner energies. At the moment age, solely Chief can do that,” reasoned Xiang Wentian.

After ingesting greater than ten cups of wine, Linghu Chong thought that this individual RenWoxing’s model of talking was heroic, his information and expertise weren’t unusual. He actually was a uncommon grand hero. He could not assist however to admire him. At first, when he noticed how he handled Qin Weibang, Mr. Huang Zhong and Mr. Black-White, he thought that his technique was excessively vicious. However after listening to him speak, he fairly resembled that of a hero. Additionally, he thought that his temperament could not usually be this vicious. Therefore, his coronary heart, which at first, held a resentful thought in direction of Ren Woxing regularly subsided.

“Brother Linghu, once we deal with with the enemy, we deal with them viciously. Managing subordinates should even be strict. You are most likely not accustomed to it. However you suppose, how lengthy have I been locked up beneath the West Lake’s underground jail? You’ve got been imprisoned in there, you understand how it feels likes. How do others deal with me? Relating to the enemy’s insurgent, are you able to deal with them compassionately?” stated Ren Woxing.

Linghu Chong nodded agreeing with him. Abruptly, he wished to take care of a matter and stood up.

“I’ve a matter to request from Chief, hopefully Chief will comply with it,” stated Linghu Chong.

“What matter?” requested Ren Woxing.

“The day once I first met Chief, I heard Mr. Huang Zhong stated, that when Chief escaped and re-entered Jiang Hu. That you’ll give Huashan College nice hassle. I additionally heard Chief stated that if you happen to meet my grasp then you’ll give him some embarrassments. Chief’s martial artwork is godly, if you happen to give hassle to Huashan College, then nobody there would be capable of face up to it,” stated Linghu Chong.

“I heard Brother Xiang stated that your grasp introduced to everybody that you have been expelled from Huashan College. I am going to go and shame them. After we have discovered them, we’ll wipe Huashan College out from the Wulin world. That is to substitute for the bitter feeling in your coronary heart,” advised Ren Woxing.

Linghu Chong shook his head and replied, “My dad and mom died once I was younger. It was Grasp and Grasp-wife’s kindness that they took me in. They took care of me once I was rising up after which took me in as a disciple. They’re like dad and mom to me. It was my fault that Grasp expelled me from the college. Additionally, there is perhaps some misunderstanding between us. I would not dare blame my form Grasp.”

“It was Yue Buqun who handled you heartlessly. However you are not keen to hunt justice?” smiled Ren Woxing.

“I encourage for Chief’s kindness and to be broadminded. Please do not go after my Grasp, Grasp-wife, and Huashan College’s disciples,” stated Linghu Chong.

“Emm, I’ve escaped from that darkish jail and you’ve got additionally had your attempt on the identical time. However I’ve handed on to you the divine talent Artwork of Essence Absorbing and saved your life. Each issues needs to be equal. I’ve re-entered Jiang Hu and have numerous grudges. I am unable to comply with your request. Later, once I deal with my affairs, I am unable to have each my palms and ft tied,” answered Ren Woxing.

Listening to him stated this, Linghu Chong felt that his grasp would meet nice issue. He could not assist however felt anxious.

Ren Woxing laughed and stated, “Little brother, sit down. In the present day, on this world, I solely belief you and Brother Xiang. You requested one matter from me. We will all the time focus on this. How about this? I even have a request to make to you. Why do not you comply with this matter for me first? After right this moment, once I meet Huashan’s disciples, so long as they don’t seem to be disrespectful in direction of me, then I will not hassle them. Even when I need to train them a lesson, if I see you at the moment, I’ll maintain my hand and solely use thirty % of my energy. What do you say to this?”

Linghu Chong was very blissful. He replied, “I am deeply grateful for this. Who dares to not comply with Chief’s order?”

“We three are actually sworn brothers, from right this moment, we’ll share all happiness and woes collectively. Brother Xiang is Solar Moon Sect’s Guang Ming Zuo Shi (left protector). You’ll turn into my sect’s Guang Ming You Shi (proper protector). What do you consider this?” stated Ren Woxing.

Linghu Chong was startled when he heard this. He did not anticipate that Ren Woxing wished him to affix the Satan Sect. When he was younger, he heard from Grasp and Grasp-wife that Satan Sect has many sorts of evil and harsh individuals. After he’d been expelled from Huashan College, he was considering of simply leisurely wandering the Jiang Hu and never belonging to any faculty or sect. Even when his physique wished to affix the Satan Sect, his thoughts thought that he shouldn’t. His coronary heart was disconcerted. He did not know tips on how to reply.

Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian had been watching him. The room was now utterly quiet and never a single sound might be heard.

After a while, Linghu Chong stated, “Chief could be very form to let me, Linghu Chong, enter the sect so late. However how would I dare to face side-by-side with Chief? Additionally, I am nonetheless hoping that, despite the fact that I haven’t got an opportunity to rejoin Huashan College, Grasp can have a change of perspective and take again his command….”

Ren Woxing smiled tastelessly and stated, “You name me Chief. Truly, though I’ve escaped from jail, my life continues to be in a precarious state and this phrase “Chief” means nothing. It is solely good to listen to. In the present day, everybody is aware of that Solar Moon Sect’s Chief is Dongfang Bubai. This individual’s kung fu is excessive and isn’t under me in any respect. His technique and knowledge are additionally above me. With a sign from him, many individuals will rush to assist him towards solely Brother Xiang and me. So, taking the place of Chief from him is a hopeless battle. It is a silly and deluded motion. You are not keen to be my sworn brother. After all, it is a smart concept to guard your individual life. Come, come, come! Let’s drink wine and be blissful. Let this matter relaxation.”

“How did Dongfang Bubai take away Chief’s energy and place? Additionally how did you get imprisoned within the underground jail? There are lots of issues that I nonetheless do not perceive. Can these two issues be defined?” requested Linghu Chong.

Ren Woxing shook his head. His smile was mournful. He stated, “I have been dwelling beneath the lake for 12 years. What fame and authority do I’ve left? Hey, hey. I’ve grown older and my mood has additionally turn into worse.”

He crammed a wine cup to the brim, drank it in a mouthful, and laughed loudly. His laughter sounded unhappy and forlorn.

“Brother, that day Dongfang Bubai despatched lots of people to chase after me, you have seen his vicious technique with your individual eyes. In the event you did not give me a hand, I might’ve turn into minced-meat in that pavilion. Proper now, your coronary heart is split between the orthodox faculty and the Satan Sect. However on that day, these a number of hundred individuals from each side allied collectively and tried to kill the 2 of us. The place is the division? What orthodox faculty? What satan sect? Truly this division is simply synthetic. Contained in the orthodox faculties, there are good individuals. However do not additionally they have some despicable and evil diciples? Though the Satan Sect has no shortages of dangerous individuals, however we three individuals would be capable of maintain the facility within the sect. So we’ll be capable of reorganise the sect effectively and eliminate these evil degenerates. Will not we then be seen as a proud and heroic sect in Jiang Hu?” Xiang Wentian stated.

Linghu Chong nodded and stated, “What massive brother stated is true.”

“Again in these days, Chief handled Dongfang Bubai pretty. He was promoted to the place of left protector and was given all the facility within the sect. In the meantime, Chief was concentrating on correcting some small flaws within the Artwork of Essence Absorbing. That wolf Dongfang Bubai, together with his unexpectedly wild ambition, took care of on a regular basis affairs. On the floor, he handled Chief respectfully and did not dare to violate something. However secretly, he gathered energy to himself and did issues on false pretexts. He eliminated all of the ministers loyal to Chief, all had been presumably killed. A number of years later, all of Chief’s trusted individuals had been all gone. Chief is an upright and most honest individual. He noticed that Dongfang Bubai was respectful and prudent so he did not suspect something. However Dongfang Bubai had positioned himself effectively within the sect together with his palms in every thing. He had every thing organized to his liking. We did not have any suspicion from the start to the tip,” defined Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing sighed and stated, “Brother Xiang, I am really very ashamed of this matter. You actually advised me many instances to protect towards treachery. However I trusted Dongfang Bubai too extremely and I did not like to listen to these sincere speak. As an alternative I assumed you had been jealous of him. After I blamed you, you sowed dissension and numerous lives had been misplaced. You then left in anger and from then on we have not met once more until now.”

“I would not dare accountable Chief. I merely noticed that one thing wasn’t proper. That Dongfang Bubai encircled us secretly then launched his assault. If subordinate was moreover Chief at the moment, then I might additionally endure his violent treachery. Though I used to be keen to face issue and loss of life for the sect, I needed to take into account concerning the future on this case. So I felt that I will need to have a approach to escape for each state of affairs. If Chief was capable of see by means of his deceitful coronary heart and ordered him to not pursue his personal targets, then I might have been actually blissful. In any other case, I needs to be exterior the sect. On the very least, I ought to keep away from him until he found about my suspicion,” stated Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing nodded and stated, “That is true. However how did I find out about your ache at the moment? I solely noticed you left with out saying goodbye and felt actually offended. On the identical time, my martial artwork follow had simply reached its important level and I almost had a calamity. That Dongfang Bubai really did every thing to please me and suggested me to not fear. Then I fell even deeper in his plot, I went so far as giving him the sect’s secret Sunflower Scripture.”

When Linghu Chong heard of this “Sunflower Scripture”, he set free an “ah”.

“Brother, you additionally know concerning the “Sunflower Scripture”?” requested Xiang Wentian.

“I solely heard grasp talked about this identify earlier than. I knew that it is a deep and profound martial artwork secret. However I did not know that it was in Chief’s possession,” answered Linghu Chong.

“For a few years, “Sunflower Scripture” has been Solar Moon Sect’s effectively guarded treasure. It’s handed down from the earlier Chief to the following. After I was practising the Artwork of Essence Absorbing, I uncared for to eat and sleep. I did not care about any issues in any respect and I wished to surrender the place of Chief to Dongfang Bubai. So I gave Dongfang Bubai the “Sunflower Scripture”. That is to make him perceive clearly about my intention. That not lengthy after, I used to be going to present the place of Chief to him. Ai, initially Dongfang Bubai is a really clever individual. However as soon as he understood that he was going to get the place of Chief, why did he need to rush in getting it and never keen to attend till I formally give him the place myself? Why did he as a substitute insurgent to grab this place?” stated Ren Woxing.

He scowled and it seems that even till now he did not perceive clearly about this matter.

“Apparently, he could not wait a second longer. He did not know when Chief was going to formally give him the place. So he frightened and afraid that one thing may abruptly change,” defined Xiang Wentian.

“Truly, he already secured every thing for himself. What sudden change ought to he be afraid of? It is troublesome to foretell the minds of different individuals. After I was within the underground jail, I went over his treasonous plan from many various angles, making an attempt to know. Why did he abruptly launch the assault? Even till now, I nonetheless do not perceive his logic. Initially, he was just a little bit jealous of you, afraid that I’d give the place of chief to you. However he’d seen you left together with his personal eyes. So it was higher for him to simply anticipate a short while,” reasoned Ren Woxing.

“On the night time of the dragon boat competition’s feast in the identical 12 months that Dongfang Bubai launched his assault, Miss stated one thing on the banquet. Does Chief nonetheless keep in mind what she stated?” requested Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing scratched his head pondering, “Dragon boat competition? What did that little Miss say? Hmm. What is the connection? I do not keep in mind.”

“Chief, do not deal with Miss as just a little youngster. She’s very intelligent and considerate, and no lesser than any grownup. That 12 months, miss is seven years previous, proper? She was on the banquet taking a look at individuals when she abruptly requested you, “Dad, dad, how come once we drink wine on the dragon boat competition yearly, there’s all the time one individual much less?” You had been startled and requested her, ” What do you imply there may be one individual much less yearly?” Miss answered, “I remembered there have been 11 individuals final 12 months. The 12 months earlier than, there have been 12 individuals. This 12 months, one, two, three, 4, 5… we solely have ten,”” recounted Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing sighed and stated, “That is true. Ahh. At the moment, once I heard what little miss stated, I felt very sad. The 12 months earlier than, Dongfang Bubai had executed youthful brother Hao Xian. The 12 months earlier than that, Elder Qiu died at Gansu with no clear motive. After I give it some thought now, this will need to have been Dongfang Bubai’s evil doing. And one 12 months earlier than that, Elder Wen was faraway from the sect and was killed by the masters from SongShan College, TaiShan College and HengShan College. That catastrophe should even be Dongfang Bubai’s doing. Ai, little miss by accident stated the proper phrase and revealed his plan. At the moment, my thoughts was like in a dream, I could not realize it.”

He stopped for some time and gulped his wine down.

He continued, “This Artwork of Essence Absorbing was created by Xiao Yao Sect in instances of Northern Music. It was a mix of the 2 abilities, BeiMing Shen Gong and Hua Gong DaFa (Creator’s observe: Please learn “Tian Lengthy Ba Bu”), which had been left behind by Dali’s Duan household and XingXiu Sect respectively. They had been mixed into one, and have become the Artwork of Essence Absorbing. The Artwork of Essence Absorbing’s essential precept is inherited from Hua Gong DaFa. However the students who wrote the formulation down did not know the right method, so there have been some flaws on the talent. Within the meantime, for greater than ten years, I have been repairing this Artwork of Essence Absorbing. In Jiang Hu, this divine martial artwork nonetheless has an enormous fame. When individuals from orthodox faculty hear this identify, they nonetheless tremble with worry. However I do know that this divine martial artwork has a number of massive flaws in it. At first, I did not really feel something unsuitable. However later, a disastrous downside was slowly revealed. In these a number of years, I got here to know the issue deeply. I knew that if I do not discover the treatment quickly, I might sooner or later die by “fireplace deviation”. These power that I’ve absorbed from different individuals may abruptly reverse. As a result of I’ve absorbed numerous power, the reverse power would even be simply as massive.”

When Linghu Chong heard all this, he secretly felt that there was one massive factor that wasn’t proper. Ren Woxing continued, “At the moment, I’ve already absorbed the interior energies of ten evil masters. However as a result of every of the ten inner energies was very robust and completely different, they prohibited one another from being despatched to completely different gates. I believed that there should be a approach to make all these inner power harmonious and entire in order that I may use them. In any other case, I’ll all the time be in peril. In these few years, I assumed day and night time on tips on how to resolve this downside to the purpose that I uncared for every thing besides considering on this matter. That day on the Dragon Boat Competition feast, though I used to be ingesting wine and cracking jokes, however in my coronary heart, I sought a method that will enable the power in my physique to circulation freely amidst the twenty-two acupoints of the Yangjiao Channel and the thirty-two acupoints of the Yangwei Channel. These made up a complete of fifty-four acupoints, by means of which the power may circulation in its passage from the Yangjiao into the Yangwei and vice-versa.”

“At the moment, I additionally thought that it was unusual as Chief is normally alert. Chief solely wants to listen to half a phrase to know what an individual desires to say. You noticed every thing and missed nothing. However in these a number of years, not solely had been you not conscious of Dongfang Bubai’s treasonous plan, but in addition on daily basis… on daily basis… ” sighed Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing smiled just a little and stated, “On a regular basis I used to be dazed and witless. My thoughts appeared to be elsewhere on a regular basis.”

“That is true. Ahhh. After miss stated these phrases, Dongfang Bubai laughed and stated, “Miss, you’re keen on issues to be full of life, do not you? Subsequent 12 months, we’ll invite extra individuals to drink wine” When he stated these phrases, his face was filled with happiness. However once I noticed his eyes, it was filled with hesitation. He should’ve suspected that Chief knew of what he was as much as. And that proper then, Chief was simply pretending to be ignorant to check him. He knew that Chief is astute so he anticipated that Chief knew about his plan already,” stated Xiang Wentian.

Ren Woxing scowled and stated, “I could not keep in mind in any respect what little miss stated on the dragon boat competition’s feast twelve years in the past. I now keep in mind solely after you talked about about it. That is proper, when Dongfang Bubai heard these phrases, how can it not elevate his suspicions?”

“Additionally, Dongfang Bubai was afraid that Miss would see by means of his treasonous plan in a 12 months or two when she had grown up and gotten even smarter. Moreover, he was afraid that if he waited till she turned an grownup, Chief may give the place of Chief to her. So, when Dongfang Bubai heard this, he did not dare to attend any longer. He took a danger and launched the assault. That is the logic behind all this,” Xiang Wentian defined.

Ren Woxing nodded his head agreeing with what Xiang Wentian stated.

“Ai, if my daughter is by my facet proper now, then we’ll have yet one more individual and our place would not be as weak as proper now,” stated Ren Woxing.

Xiang Wentian turned to Linghu Chong and stated, “Brother, Chief has already stated that there is a massive flaw with the Artwork of Essence Absorbing. So far as I do know, Chief was engaged on an answer to repair this divine martial artwork whereas he endured being imprisoned for the final 12 years. After all, by the point he escaped from that jail, he already had a breakthrough and located the answer for this divine martial artwork. Chief, is that this proper?”

Ren Woxing rubbed his thick black high-quality beard, laughed, and was feeling happy with himself. He stated, “After all. To any extent further, once I soak up different individuals’s power, I haven’t got to fret about these energies abruptly reversing. HaHa! Brother Linghu, take a deep breath, do not you’re feeling there’s qi drumming fiercely at your Yuzhen and Shanzhong acupoints?”

Linghu Chong took a deep breath and felt a faint qi flowing at his Yuzhen and Shanzhong acupoints. He could not assist that his complexion modified as he did this.

“You’ve got solely begun your follow, so you may most likely solely really feel it just a little bit. However throughout these years, earlier than I discovered the treatment, the qi in these two strain factors was drumming actually fiercely. It felt just like the sky was falling down and the earth shaking. It was torture. Regardless that I regarded calm and quiet exterior, inside my ears, it seemed like there have been a thousand horses charging by means of. Generally, it seemed like thunder constantly hanging down. Ai, if I wasn’t having such an enormous catastrophe with my qi, how can Dongfang Bubai’s treasonous plan have succeeded?” stated Ren Woxing.

Linghu Chong knew that Ren Woxing was saying the reality. He additionally knew that Xiang Wentian talked about this downside to get him to ask for recommendation from Ren Woxing. However he was decided to not be part of the Solar Moon Sect and ask for Ren Woxing’s assist. He could not say something, however in his coronary heart, he was considering, “I’ve already realized his Artwork of Essence Absorbing. This talent absorbs different individuals’s power for myself to make use of. It is a very egocentric and harsh talent. I had determined to not practise and use it. If I am unable to cease these absorbed energies from reversing, then that is the best way it is gonna be. That is gonna be my destiny. How can Linghu Chong be grasping and be afraid of loss of life? How can I commit an enormous violation over this once I’m initially honest?”

After he mulled over this matter in his thoughts, he stated, “Chief, I wish to seek the advice of you on a matter I nonetheless do not perceive. My grasp stated that the “Sunflower Scripture” is probably the most supreme martial arts secret. Nobody will be capable of match you in the entire world after studying this martial artwork. He stated your life would even be extended to over 100 years. How come you did not study this martial artwork and as a substitute realized that dangerously fierce Artwork of Essence Absorbing?”

Ren Woxing weakly smiled and stated, “I do not suppose outsiders are worthy sufficient to know the explanation.”

Linghu Chong’s face turned crimson when he heard this. He stated, “Sure, I used to be too daring.”

“Brother, Chief is already previous, your massive brother can also be just a few years youthful than him. In the event you enter the sect, then Chief’s successor will in fact be you. I do know that you simply dislike the Solar Moon Sect’s dangerous fame. However if you’re chief, would not you’ve got the facility in hand to reorganise the sect so that individuals on this world would profit from it?” Xiang Wentian logically advised Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong felt that Xiang Wentian’s speech was logical and cheap. He was moved. He noticed Ren Woxing picked up his wine cup and together with his proper hand, picked up the wine pot and crammed the cup to the brim. Ren Woxing then stated, “A number of hundred years in the past, there was enmity between my Solar Moon sect and the orthodox sects and faculties. After that, we could not coexist anymore. In the event you adhere stubbornly to this opinion and do not enter our sect then your inner accidents might be troublesome to heal and your life is not assured. This does not must be stated. Additionally, I am afraid that your Grasp and Grasp-wife of Huashan faculty… Hey, hey, I wish to make all of Huashan College disciples perish and stamp Huashan College out of existence from the Wulin world. This is not a tough factor to do in any respect. It was destiny that introduced us right here collectively. In the event you agree with my suggestion, then please drink this cup of wine.”

These phrases had been stated threateningly. Linghu Chong’s felt his anger rising up and in a transparent voice stated, “Chief, massive brother, initially my accidents had been sufficient to shorten my life and I used to be solely dwelling from everyday. Then I by accident realized Chief’s divine martial artwork. However now, as a result of I am unable to meld all of the energies collectively, I may not reside lengthy. So it is identical to my previous accidents. That is no massive deal. For a very long time, I’ve already thought my life was unimportant. Useless or alive, I nonetheless have my life now. Huashan College has been round for a number of hundred years and has managed to outlive until now. It isn’t essentially true that different individuals can simply elevate their palms and destroy Huashan College. In the present day, we have completed our speak. Allow us to half right here.”

As quickly as he completed talking, he cupped his palms in salute in direction of the 2 individuals, circled and left.

Xiang Wentian nonetheless had phrases to say however Linghu Chong was already distant. As Linghu Chong ran out of the Plum Manor, he felt the chilly air brushing his physique and he felt unrestrained in his coronary heart. As he sighed and raised his head, he noticed the crescent moon hanging from the tip of a willow department. In the midst of the lake, he may see reflections of the brilliant moon and the clouds on the water. When he reached the financial institution of the lake, he stood there quietly for a while and thought, “Chief Ren should now be going to Dongfang Bubai to settle the matter in regards to the place of Chief. He would not seek for Huashan College immediately to deliver them hassle. However, Grasp, Grasp-wife, and martial brothers and sisters did not find out about this matter. In the event that they meet him, they could endure beneath his violent palms. I need to inform them as quickly as potential in order that they are often ready. However I do not know whether or not they’ve returned from Fuzhou or not. From right here, it is not that far to Fuzhou. I haven’t got anything to do. I am going to simply go to Fuzhou for a visit. In the event that they’re on their method again, then perhaps I am going to meet them on the best way.”

His thought instantly turned to the letter his grasp wrote to the Wulin world. In that letter, his Grasp introduced that he’d been expelled from Huashan faculty. A bitter feeling rose up in his coronary heart as he remembered this. He thought to himself, “I will report back to Grasp and Grasp-wife about Chief Ren compelling me to affix his sect. They may perceive that I did not deliberately make associates with individuals from Satan sect. Possibly Grasp will take again his command and can solely punish me to spend three years on prime of that cliff fascinated with my fault. If that is the case, then it is going be good.” Pondering that there could also be an opportunity to re-enter the college, his spirit rose.

He instantly began off to search for an inn to remain in a single day. He felt that he would be capable of sleep lengthy till midday this time. Then he thought that as he hadn’t seen Grasp and Grasp-wife, it will be higher to cover his unique look. Moreover, Yingying gave orders to these individuals to take his life. So, he felt it might be greatest to disguise himself and never search for hassle. However what look ought to he tackle for his disguise?

As he was deep in thought, he arrived at an inn. He walked slowly into the inn. Simply as he entered the courtyard, he abruptly heard the sound of a door being opened and a basin filled with water splashed in direction of him. He evaded rapidly because the basin emptied out. In entrance of him was an offended trying navy officer obtrusive at him, holding a wood wash basin. The officer rudely shouted, “Did you not deliver your eyes? Did not you see grandfather throwing water out?”

Linghu Chong was feeling offended. He could not consider that such an unruly and unreasonable man existed. With a high-quality thick beard, this navy officer regarded like he was round forty years previous. He was carrying a full physique navy robe and there was a Yaodao saber on his waist. Linghu Chong thought that he was most likely an officer from a navy faculty. Along with his chest flat and his stomach bulging out, he regarded accustomed to the great dwelling.

That navy officer loudly shouted, “What are you taking a look at? You do not recognise your granddad?”

Linghu Chong abruptly obtained an inspiration, “Why do not I disguise myself as this navy officer? He is fairly attention-grabbing. I will be strolling round Jiang Hu in a powerful disguise. Individuals in Wulin will not even give me a re-assessment.”

Linghu Chong unconsciously smiled, feeling happy with himself. When he went to the counter to pay for a room and meal, he whispered to the innkeeper, “What is the background of that navy officer?”

The shopkeeper frowned at his query, however he nonetheless answered, “Who is aware of the place he comes from? He got here from Beijing and has stayed right here for one night time. The servants served him three meals already. He is additionally ordered a great amount of excellent wine and good meat. Do not know if he’ll pay or not.”

Linghu Chong nodded and walked into the teahouse. He brewed a pot of tea and slowly drank it. After ready for an hour, he heard the sound of a horse trotting. That navy officer was going out of the inn on a crimson jujube-coloured horse. Whereas lashing his horsewhip making a “Pai, pai” sound, he was loudly bellowing, “Make method! Make method! Your granny, hurry up and get away!” A number of individuals had been too gradual getting out of his method and obtained lashed by the whip.

Linghu Chong already paid for his tea, so he obtained up and adopted the horse. He noticed the officer exiting from the west gate and galloping away on the southwesterly highway. After a number of li, there have been much less and fewer individuals on the highway, so Linghu Chong quickened his steps. He rushed to the entrance of the horse and raised his proper hand. The horse was frightened and reared at him inflicting that officer to nearly fall from the horse.

Linghu Chong shouted loudly, “Your granny, did not you deliver your eyes? Your horse nearly kicked this previous man to loss of life!”

That officer did not open his mouth however he regarded indignant and snorted 3 times. He waited until his horse’s entrance foot dropped again down earlier than he chosen a whip and lashed out in direction of Linghu Chong’s head. He noticed that it is inconvenient to settle this matter on the principle highway so he shouted, “Ai yo!” and staggered into the forest. That officer wasn’t keen to simply let Linghu Chong go like that. So he dismounted his horse and rapidly tied the horse’s rein on a tree. He was madly impatient to start out chasing.

Linghu Chong shouted, “Ai yo! I need my mommy!” as he fled into the forest.

That navy officer began pursuing and raised a clamor as he was operating by means of the forest. Abruptly he felt a tingling sensation on the facet of his physique and fell down on the bottom. Linghu Chong’s left foot stepped on his chest and laughingly stated, “Your granny, your talent is not good. How will you march to battle?” He searched the officer’s bosom and took out an enormous envelope. On the envelope was the “Seal of the Ministry of Warfare Workplace” on crimson vermillion and a written phrase “Announcement” in massive letters. He opened the letter and took out a thick paper. It was the ministry of battle workplace’s appointment order. Written on it was the promotion of Hebei’s Cangzhou prefecture’s officer Wu Tiande to turn into Fujian’s Quanzhou prefecture’s basic.

Linghu Chong laughed and stated, “Oh, it is massive basic, so that you’re Wu Tiande?”

That officer was pinned beneath Linghu Chong’s foot and his face beginning to flip purple.

“Let me rise up! Shortly! You… you… very daring. Insulting a authorities official, not… not afraid of the regulation?” shouted that officer. Though he was shouting, his anger had lengthy been exhausted.

Smiling, Linghu Chong stated, “Your previous man would not have something to tie you up with however I wish to borrow your garments to attempt on,” After saying so, he knocked out the officer by hitting him on the top together with his palm.

He then rapidly took the officer’s garments off. Pondering that this man was hateful, he determined to show him a lesson and took off all his underwear, leaving the officer buck-naked on the bottom. He then picked up the officer’s bundle and opened it. Inside, there have been a number of a whole lot silver taels and three gold cash. He thought, “This will need to have been taken away from good and sincere individuals. It is going to be arduous to return these to the house owners. I am going to simply have to make use of it to purchase wine for my Normal Wu Tiande.” He chuckled as he considered this. Instantly, he took off his garments and placed on the officer’s garments, leather-based boots, and Yaodao saber. He additionally took the bundle with him. Afterwards, utilizing a strip of his personal garments, he tied the officer’s palms to a tree and stuffed his mouth full with mud. He thought for some time and took his knife out to shave the officer’s beard and put these shaved beard in his bosom. He smiled and remarked, “You’ve got turned into a reasonably face now. You’ve got turn into far more lovely.”

When he obtained again to the principle highway, he untied the horse’s rein and mounted it. He lashed out with the whip and shouted, “Make method! Make method! Your granny, did not you deliver your eyes? HaHa, HaHa!” Laughing loudly, he galloped away to the south.

That very same night time, he arrived at an inn on the border space of Hangzhou. The shopkeeper and servant at that inn greeted him with “Military officer, military officer”. At dawn, Linghu Chong requested the shopkeeper the highway to Fujian. After receiving 5 taels of silver, the shopkeeper and his servant accompanied him whereas bowing all the best way to the door. Linghu Chong thought, “You guys are lucky that you simply met my basic; if you happen to had really met the actual Normal Wu Tiande, you will surely have suffered.” After leaving the inn, he went to a retailer and purchased a face mirror and a bottle of glue water. As soon as he obtained exterior the town, he regarded for a desolated place. As soon as he obtained there, he took out the mirror and thoroughly glued the shaved beard on his face. This took him round an hour. When he checked himself within the mirror, his cheek was filled with high-quality thick beard and could not assist however laughed at himself.

On the best way south, he reached Jinhua prefecture and arrived on the prefecture workplace. On this space, he discovered it arduous to know the southern accent. However it was good that he was wearing navy apparel as a result of individuals began speaking to him in a extra formal method, which made him capable of perceive them a lot better. In his entire life, he is by no means had this a lot cash earlier than, so he stored ordering wine and drank to his coronary heart’s content material.

The numerous completely different inner energies that he had had been circulating all through the meridians in his physique, not a hint of it was leaving his physique. When abruptly, an power stream rushed in direction of his Dantian area making him dizzy, seeing stars, and desirous to vomit. This was Mr. Black-White’s qi. He felt the ache was much more insufferable than earlier than. Each time this occurred, he solely needed to comply with the tactic written by Ren WoXing on the iron panel and expel the qi out from the Dantian area. After the qi within the Dantian was emptied, then his qi would turn into easy and he would really feel vigorous instantly. If he adopted this follow each time this occurred, he knew that his power would additionally enhance by a degree however he would even be deeper in hassle by one degree. He was all the time upbeat in his considering. “I already obtained my life again. Dwelling for yet one more day, even for yet one more minute is already good.” He calmed down immediately.

That afternoon, he entered the Xianxia mountain vary. The world was rugged and as he went on, he obtained increased and better and will see much less and fewer smokes from the mountain individuals’s habitation. He rode on for an additional 20 li and no home was round anymore. He knew immediately that he had made a mistake by going previous the final inn so now he needed to keep the night time on the highway with robbers across the space. The night time was getting darker as he picked a fruit up and ate it. Then he noticed a small cave beneath the cliff. It regarded dry and appeared as if there weren’t many bugs inside to hassle him. So he tied his horse’s rein on a tree and let it eat some grass, whereas he went to gather some dry grass to unfold contained in the cave.

He felt that the qi in his Dantian wasn’t relaxed so he sat right down to meditate. With extra follow, Ren Woxing’s divine martial artwork was going to get even more durable to restrain and he was going to really feel uncomfortable extra usually. When he completed meditating, his entire physique felt relaxed and light-weight. It was as if he was on a cloud. He then expelled the breath in his mouth, stood up, and smiled bitterly. ” That day once I requested Chief Ren, how come he nonetheless wished to study the Artwork of Essence Absorbing when he already had “Sunflower Handbook” in his possession, he did not reply willingly. However now, I perceive why. This Artwork of Essence Absorbing, after you practiced it, you will not be capable of give it up.” After reaching this conclusion, he could not assist however really feel frightened. “I heard Grasp-wife stated earlier than about Miao individuals elevating toxic evil issues. Even after they knew it was evil, it was arduous to surrender. If they do not use these toxic bugs to hurt individuals then the bugs would hurt the host’s physique. Sooner or later, will I turn into identical to these Miao individuals?”

When he walked out of the cave, he noticed numerous stars within the sky and heard the chirping of bugs. Abruptly, he heard individuals coming in direction of the mountain. It appeared that they are nonetheless fairly distant however his inner power allowed him to listen to additional. Instantly, he went to his horse, loosened its rein, hit its again to make the horse transfer into the cave. He then hid himself behind a tree. After a while, he heard the steps coming nearer. The sunshine from the celebrities allowed him to see many individuals with black robes and yellow waistbands, strolling alongside. From the outfits, he reckoned they had been individuals from the Satan Sect. There have been greater than thirty individuals within the group and none of them spoke a phrase. Linghu Chong thought, “They appeared to be going south in direction of Fujian. I’m wondering if they’ve something to do with my Huashan College. Have they obtained orders from Chief Ren to trigger hassle for Grasp and Grasp-wife?” He waited till these individuals had been gone far sufficient earlier than he quietly adopted.

After he had walked for a number of li, the mountain highway turned actually steep. Then he noticed the 2 mountain peaks moreover one another with a really slim mountain highway going by means of the center. It might be unattainable for 2 individuals to go up facet by facet on this highway. These thirty individuals had been climbing by means of the move in a single file. Linghu Chong thought, ” If I had been to comply with them up now, it is potential that when they reached the highest, one among them may by accident flip his head round and see me.” So he rapidly hid himself within the bushes to attend for them to complete climbing the slope and to start out happening on the south slope earlier than he began chasing once more. However when these individuals reached the height of the slope, they abruptly scattered and hid themselves behind the mountain rocks. Not a single shadow was seen.

Linghu Chong was frightened. The very first thing that entered his thoughts was, “They noticed me.” However he knew instantly that he was unsuitable. He thought of additional, “They are going to ambush individuals who will go up the slope. That should be it! That is the proper place to plan an ambush. Whoever climbed up right here would have hassle escaping. Who’re they making an attempt to ambush? If Grasp and Grasp-wife had gone again to the North, what pressing matter have they got to return to Fujian that they’d be strolling by means of right here at night time? Will I see my little martial sister tonight?” As his thought turned to Yue Lingshan, his entire physique turned sizzling. He quietly stepped away from the bushes. After he had gained a little bit of distance away from the mountaintop, he rapidly dashed down from the mountain. After a number of bends, he circled and could not see the mountain slope anymore. Then he headed again north away from the mountain move. He scampered alongside the highway whereas making an attempt to hear if anybody was coming in direction of him. After 10 extra li, he abruptly heard voices from a hillside on the left. “Linghu Chong is a grimy rascal. You are still defending him!”
