Episode 16, Chapter

1: The Hero's Resentment.

The fake Wei Tuo, intending to show off his martial arts, didn't aim for the black-clad man's vitals. Instead, he struck the Vajra Axe head-on. His Relic Sword Finger, sharper than any divine weapon, not only left the black-clad man unharmed but also forced him to retreat.

King Qi recognized the black-clad man and, not wanting his identity exposed and to bring disaster, hurriedly shouted, "You go quickly, don't worry about me!"

The black-clad man shouted, "As long as Your Highness is here, Yue Biao is here; if Your Highness dies, Yue Biao dies!"

King Qi smiled bitterly, realizing he had gone to great lengths to protect him, only to be met with such ingratitude.

Qiu Baifei angrily rebuked, "Yue Biao, you, a dignified martial arts champion, dare to openly rescue a rebel! What is your crime?!"

Yue Biao shouted, "If it weren't for His Highness Prince Qi, my entire family would have perished long ago. What use is this so-called martial arts champion?"

The fake Wei Tuo stood beside the prison cart, patted Prince Qi's shoulder a few times, and laughed, "Your Highness, I didn't expect that when you fall from grace, your followers would scatter. Today, someone is still willing to risk their life to save you. You can die without regrets!"

Prince Qi sneered, "My life and death are none of your concern, Bodhisattva!"

Yue Biao raised his battle axe and attacked again. The Imperial Guards immediately formed a circle around the prison cart, tightly protecting it and blocking the prisoner's escape.

Qiu Baifei looked at Cen Zhifeng and said, "Minister Cen, to avoid any unforeseen complications, it's better to execute the criminal immediately!" Cen Zhifeng nodded and said, "According to the law, executions can be carried out ahead of schedule in case of special circumstances!"

Qiu Baifei immediately shouted, "Executioner, execute the traitor immediately!"

A burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist raised his broadsword and slashed at the neck of Prince Qi.

Yue Biao's heart jumped into his throat.

At the critical moment, a strong wind swept across, and a large hand grabbed the burly man's pulse point, stopping the Prince Qi's killing intent. The one who made the move was Long Hui.

Yin Fangxi shouted, "Traitor, how dare you!"

In his anger, he unleashed the Purple Sun Mystic Art. The scholar flicked his sleeve and delivered a fierce palm strike to Long Hui's face.

Long Hui countered with a palm strike that was soft against hard, first dissipating eighty percent of the righteous energy, and then his elbow struck Yin Fangxi's Tanzhong acupoint. In a close- quarters

grappling match, Yin Fangxi also possessed a unique skill. His five fingers resembled blooming flower petals, constantly shifting into countless shapes—a delicate grappling technique from the Confucian school: the Ruyi Phantom Hand. He lightly raised his palm to block Long Hui's elbow strike, then flicked his fingers, precisely striking Long Hui's nerve ending. Long Hui felt a numbness in his arm, his strength reduced to only 30%. Yin Fangxi, combining parrying and striking, pushed Long Hui's elbow back with a wrist thrust, and then flicked the Ruyi Phantom Hand towards Long Hui's carotid artery. Long Hui immediately tilted his head, avoiding the deadly attack, then lightly flicked his fingers, his movements agile and varied—Yin Fangxi's Ruyi Phantom Hand. Seeing his opponent unleash his ultimate technique, Yin Fangxi was greatly surprised. His mind momentarily thrown into disarray, he was deflected by Long Hui's palm strike. It turned out that Long Hui had imitated his martial arts using the Wuxiang method, catching him off guard. Taking advantage of Long Hui's momentary retreat from Yin Fangxi, the fake Wei Tuo launched a sneak attack, unleashing a powerful Brahma Seal. Long Hui neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on, secretly channeling his inner energy to redirect the Buddha's light palm force from his back to his hand, then incorporating it into his own true energy to return it to his opponent. His attempt to steal a chicken backfired; the fake Wei Tuo's hairpin was swept away by Long Hui's palm, his long black hair falling loose, leaving him in a sorry state. Seeing Long Hui defeat two masters, Yue Biao, wielding his double axes, charged towards the prison cart, intending to rescue Prince Qi. Seeing his subordinates unable to withstand the attack, Qiu Baifei personally confronted him, drawing his military saber and slashing forward. Yue Biao blocked the saber with his left axe, then brought his right axe down on Yue Biao's head. Qiu Baifei coldly snorted, using a ring-blade technique to first deflect Yue Biao's left axe, then slamming the hilt of his saber into Yue Biao's chest. This impact caused Yue Biao's qi to be severely stabbed, resulting in excruciating pain, and he staggered back several steps. Qiu Baifei sneered, "With this little skill, you dare to try and break into a prison? You're courting death!" Yue Biao's brows furrowed with rage, and he swung his axe, yelling, "Damn it, if you've got the guts, take three more blows from me!" Qiu Baifei's position as the Marshal of the Jiangnan Army was no fluke. His swordsmanship was precise and controlled, his defense as steady as a mountain, and his attacks fierce and arrogant, leaving Yue Biao's arms numb and forcing him to retreat step by step. On the other side, Long Hui was fighting two opponents alone, his Yutian technique perfectly executed. Despite battling two innate masters, he showed no signs of discouragement, leaving the Confucian and Buddhist monks both shocked and enraged. Just then, the Imperial Guards, who had been blocked outside the alley, cleared the way and rushed in to provide support. Long Hui inwardly cried out in alarm. The situation was becoming increasingly critical. If he couldn't rescue Prince Qi now, there would be no chance left. However, Prince Qi was surrounded by guards, and even if Lin Birou intervened now, it would be difficult to succeed, and she might even be put in danger. Just as Long Hui felt frustrated, a warm current emanated from the sword case, flowing through his limbs and bones. A faint sword hum resonated, as if a restless master was eager to test its skills. "Zhu Xian, Jue Xian—draw!" Long Hui shouted. The divine artifact within seemed to respond, and the sword case shattered instantly, revealing two sword lights that shone brightly. The once rusty ancient swords now shone with dazzling brilliance, their sharpness overwhelming. A vast sword intent enveloped the entire area, causing the weapons in the hands of the Imperial Guards to slip from their grasp and plunge into the ground. It was as if ten thousand soldiers were paying homage to the divine sword. Yue Biao and Qiu Baifei felt their weapons struggling, as if about to fly from their hands, so they forcefully used their strength to suppress the agitation of their blades and axes. The two immortal swords seemed to possess a spirit, flying into their master's hands. With the swords in hand, Long Hui was invigorated. He poured in his true essence and immediately unleashed two magnificent and powerful sword beams. He casually slashed twice, generating a massive pressure that sent the three hundred imperial guards staggering, clearing away the obstacles around Prince Qi. "Bi Rou, save him!" Long Hui shouted. Lin Bi Rou, using the Thunder Step and the Boundless Wind Form, flew over. The scattered imperial guards were no match for her, allowing Lin Bi Rou to shatter the prison cart and abduct Prince Qi. Lin Bi Rou took Prince Qi into the air and flew away on the wind. Yin Fangxi and the fake Wei Tuo could not tolerate this. Yin Fangxi shouted, "Bodhisattva, hurry and chase after the demoness! I'll hold this brat off!" With that, he unleashed his full power, manipulating wind and thunder in his palms, his attacks coming in rapid succession. Long Hui couldn't catch his breath, and the fake Wei Tuo caught up with the escaped prisoner. "Damn it, if he catches up, Bi Rou and Prince Qi will both be killed here!" Long Hui knew the fake Wei Tuo's abilities; even if Lin Bi Rou were at her best, she wouldn't be a match for him, let alone now that she was carrying a seriously injured Prince Qi. Worried about his beloved's safety, Long Hui channeled his martial arts again, his true energy flowing through his meridians, and shouted, "No one is leaving! Stay here!" The Zhuxian Juexian sword seemed to sense his presence, humming and roaring. In that instant, Long Hui felt his true energy surge and overflow, his power breaking through his own limits, feeling an urge to unleash it. Long Hui combined his two swords, crossing them in a cross shape, drawing out two sword beams. Wherever the sword light swept, those who stood in its way were utterly defeated, dying before they could even cry out. In just an instant, the Imperial Guard lost five hundred soldiers. The sword energy, undiminished in momentum and still possessing its remaining power, charged straight towards the Confucian and Buddhist Innate Realm. The fake Wei Tuo summoned the Bodhi Golden Body, and Yin Fangxi pushed the Purple Sun Profound Skill to its highest level, attempting to block the aura of the Absolute Sword. The result was—the Golden Body shattered, the Purple Sun perished, and both innate masters vomited blood, severely injured. The entire Zhuyi Alley was a blood-red mess, littered with corpses. Everyone was stunned, fear etched in the eyes of every soldier—two swords slashed five hundred, and simultaneously severely injured both Confucian and Buddhist innate masters; such power was simply inhuman! Long Hui remained silent, his tiger-like eyes sweeping across the land. Those who met his gaze trembled with fear, their legs giving way and collapsing to the ground.

Even Qiu Baifei, a seasoned warrior, had never witnessed such terrifying sword energy—two sword strikes, just two strikes, and five hundred men were reduced to corpses. Even chopping melons and vegetables would take half a day… Long Hui snorted coldly and said, “Yue Biao, let’s go!”

Yue Biao was also stunned by what he had just witnessed. He did whatever Long Hui said and followed him out of Zhuyi Alley.

Long Hui, wielding two swords, walked slowly, yet he instilled a sense of dread in all the soldiers. It was as if this demon from hell was toying with them, waiting to take their lives with a single sword strike when he was done playing with them. With each step Long Hui took, the hearts of the soldiers pounded wildly. Wherever Long Hui passed, the soldiers retreated and hid, fearing he might be caught off guard.

Thus, thousands of Imperial Guards watched helplessly as Long Hui and Yue Biao leisurely walked out of the capital, yet not a single one went to give chase.

Upon leaving the capital, Yue Biao gasped in astonishment, "General Long, you're amazing! I've never seen such incredible martial arts... Two sword strikes and you killed over five hundred people! If you were to fight a war, General, could you split a mountain with thirty or fifty sword strikes like that? Wouldn't the enemy be completely wiped out!"

Thirty or fifty sword strikes? Long Hui smiled bitterly to himself. Those two sword strikes had exhausted all his strength. He was lucky to even be able to walk. If any soldier had been a little bolder, a single punch would have been enough to knock him down.

"The Immortal Execution Sword and the Immortal Severing Sword are truly a double-edged sword. They can instantly elevate my power to an unbelievable level, but the price is utter exhaustion!"

Long Hui didn't even have the strength to speak, afraid that if he opened his mouth, the last bit of strength would escape and he would collapse to the ground.

Yue Biao continued to praise him, but Long Hui remained silent, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere. In the end, Yue Biao also lost interest and stopped talking.

Five miles north of Yujing City stood a deserted temple, the very spot where Long Hui and Lin Birou had agreed to meet. Those five miles felt incredibly long to Long Hui; fearing he might be followed, he dared not slacken his guard and had to continue his pretense. Seeing the deserted temple now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the temple, Lin Birou waited anxiously. Long Hui's long absence had filled her with worry, and seeing her master now filled her with joy. She smiled radiantly and waved, "Lord Long, I'm here!"

She was already a stunning beauty, and her smile only enhanced her allure.

Seeing the beauty's smile, Long Hui regained his strength and strode into the deserted temple, only to suddenly collapse, his body going limp.

Lin Birou quickly helped him up, asking with concern, "Lord Long, are you alright?"

Long Hui gasped for breath, his voice weak, "I'm fine. How is His Highness Prince Qi?"

"I'm fine!"

Prince Qi sat under a pillar, speaking softly, "Brother Long, you don't look well. Are you injured?"

Long Hui shook his head, "I'm not injured, just exhausted from overexertion."

Lin Birou was still worried, so she took Long Hui's pulse with her jade-like fingers, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming there were no injuries.

"Your Highness!"

Yue Biao, seeing Prince Qi's miserable state, his eyes reddened, and he rushed over, kneeling before Prince Qi and crying, "Your Highness, it's my fault for being useless, causing you so much suffering!"

Qi Wang laughed and said, "Yue Biao, you fool! Why give up your promising future as a martial arts champion for someone as sinful as me?"

Yue Biao said, "Back then, when Yue Family Village was massacred by bandits, if it weren't for Your Highness's help, my family and I would have perished long ago. Afterwards, Your Highness even sent this rough man like me to learn martial arts and study. This great kindness is something Yue Biao could never repay, even if he were to be torn to pieces. How could a mere martial arts champion possibly repay such a debt?" "How foolish!"

King Qi sighed. "I am now a rebel, and what you are doing is truly unwise!"

Yue Biao gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Highness wants to rebel, then Yue Biao will raise the banner of rebellion for Your Highness! In short, whatever Your Highness does, Yue Biao will do!"

Long Hui caught his breath slightly and said, "Your Highness, this place is not safe to stay any longer. Let us leave quickly."

Yue Biao nodded and said, "General Long is right. Your Highness, let Yue Biao carry you."

After saying that, he tucked his Vajra Axe into his waistband and bent down to help King Qi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as King Qi straightened up, he coughed up a mouthful of blood from his mouth and nose. He was breathing more out than in, his face was ashen, and his lips were purplish-black.

Everyone was taken aback. Yue Biao hurriedly helped up Prince Qi and exclaimed, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you!" Lin Birou knew that Long Hui was currently weak and unable to help Prince Qi heal, so she rushed behind Prince Qi, gently pushed his back with her jade palm, and used the healing technique of the Qingzhi Scroll - Qinghua Huiyang. The Qinghua Qi slowly flowed into his body, and Prince Qi's complexion improved somewhat, but he was still barely breathing.

Lin Birou frowned and said, "Your Highness, there is an extremely domineering true energy within your body that is constantly eroding your heart meridian... I can't resolve it!"

Upon hearing this, Long Hui leaned over to take Qi Wang's pulse. Although he had lost his strength, his martial sense remained. Upon examining him, he was immediately shocked: "This is innate true energy, and it's even the internal energy of the Thirteen Lotuses of Buddhism!"

Yue Biao's expression changed drastically, and he cursed, "That damned bald monk dared to use a sneak attack on Your Highness, he's utterly shameless!"

Qi Wang gasped for breath and said, "It's Wei Tuo... He must have secretly planted some latent energy within me when he patted my shoulder just now, and it's only now erupting."

Long Hui gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, let me try!"

Qi Wang mustered his last bit of strength and pushed, and Long Hui accidentally fell to the ground.

King Qi smiled bitterly, "Brother Long, even I, half-dead, could push you away. You've also expended a lot of energy... Don't waste your strength!"

Long Hui felt a surge of powerlessness. Of all those present, only he could neutralize this innate true energy, but he had exhausted his strength trying to save King Qi, and now he could only watch helplessly as King Qi's life slowly slipped away. His heart was filled with sorrow and despair; all his efforts had been in vain.

King Qi, enduring excruciating pain, opened his robe and removed a palm-sized jade pendant from his neck, handing it to Long Hui, saying, "This jade pendant was recently commissioned. It contains records of my travels throughout the land, including mountains and rivers! It should be of some help to you, Brother Long!"

Long Hui accepted the jade pendant with tears in his eyes.

King Qi's face grew increasingly ashen, but his tone remained remarkably calm as he continued, "During my time in the army, I was fortunate enough to travel the world with the troops, witnessing countless magnificent sights. From that moment on, I resolved to encompass all the wonders of the world in my map, not just the land of China, but also the four seas. One day, I will lead the Great Heng Iron Army across the oceans, crush the Western barbarians, and wipe out all foreign tribes, so that my descendants can live in different corners of the world, creating a truly magnificent map of the land for all ages!"

His lofty ambitions, accompanied by his heroic words, resonated deeply within everyone's hearts. However, the setting sun and the hero's twilight years evoked a sense of melancholy and endless sorrow.

King Qi looked at Yue Biao and said, "Yue Biao, from now on you will follow General Long."

Yue Biao burst into tears and wailed, "Your Highness, Yue Biao will follow no one but you to conquer the world!"

King Qi raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You black bastard, you don't even listen to me anymore? Do you want me to die with my eyes open in disgrace?"

Yue Biao wiped away his tears and sobbed, "Whatever Your Highness says, Yue Biao will do!"

King Qi nodded in satisfaction, tore off a piece of his white inner shirt, bit his finger, and wrote a letter in blood—Commander-in-Chief, King Xia is an evil god. Please, Commander-in-Chief, restore order. Your last words, Huangfu Zheng! After finishing, he handed the letter to Long Hui and said, "Brother Long, give the Commander-in-Chief the secret edict my father gave me and this letter in blood!"

Long Hui took the letter and carefully put it away.

King Qi's eyes gradually lost focus, and with his last words, he said, "Brother Long, if there is an afterlife, I truly wish to be your brother."

Having uttered these final words, King Qi slowly closed his eyes, departing with unfulfilled ambitions and deep resentment. The desolate temple was filled with sorrow; apart from Yue Biao's deafening wails, only Long Hui's silent tears could be heard.

After a long while, Long Hui sighed, "Yue Biao, stop crying. Let His Highness rest in peace."

Yue Biao wiped away his tears and said, "General Long, will you avenge His Highness?"

Long Hui said, word by word, "If I do not avenge this blood feud, then let me die without a burial place!"

Yue Biao said, "In that case, let me follow you. I want a share in the revenge!"

Long Hui nodded and said, "With Qiu Baifei's intelligence, he will soon see through my disguise. Before he catches up, let's leave quickly!"

Yue Biao nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Long Hui and the others gathered dry grass and branches and cremated King Qi's body.

A hero of his generation turned to ashes. Long Hui performed the traditional greeting of a younger brother to his elder brother, carefully collected the ashes, and left the deserted temple.

The three found a place to hide, waiting for nightfall so Lin Birou could return to Yujing to investigate Huangfu Yao's situation.

Exhausted, Long Hui could only wait for news, from dusk until midnight, and from midnight until dawn, but Lin Birou still hadn't returned. He grew increasingly anxious.

"I've already injured the fake Wei Tuo and Yin Fangxi; they shouldn't be able to threaten Birou... Could it be Cang Shitian?" Long Hui was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious, thinking that if anything happened to Birou, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.

Finally, at noon, he saw that long-awaited figure.

Upon seeing Lin Birou return, Long Hui hurriedly asked, "Birou, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Lin Birou shook her head and sighed, "I'm fine, but the princess..."

A sense of foreboding washed over Long Hui, and he felt his pores stand on end and his scalp tingle. He said, "Tell me, I'm prepared."

"The princess... has been murdered!"

Long Hui said bitterly, "Is today truly my unlucky day, or am I just having a run of bad luck this year?"

Lin Birou also looked downcast and said, "Last night, I was staking out outside the Xia Prince's mansion when I overheard the princess going mad, beating and cursing her maids and servants. Afterwards, I secretly sneaked into the mansion and saw the princess with disheveled hair, barefoot, running around the courtyard, crying and laughing. Then she rushed to the side hall, knocked over a candlestick, and a fire broke out. I wanted to go save the princess..." But seeing that King Xia was nearby, she abandoned the idea. "Lord Dragon, I'm sorry!"

The apology at the end was clearly out of guilt for not rescuing Huangfu Yao. Long Hui comforted her, "Bi Rou, you did the right thing. Cang Shitian was right there watching. Even if you could have rescued the princess from the fire, you wouldn't have escaped Cang Shitian's pursuit. Not only would you have failed to save the princess, but you would have also lost yourself. I've already lost Liu'er, I can't lose any other woman by my side!"

Lin Bi Rou's eyes reddened, and a tender feeling welled up in her heart.

Yue Biao said dejectedly, "Even the princess was killed... Is there really no justice in this world?"

Long Hui suddenly stood up and said, word by word, "Justice? Even if Cang Shitian's ascension to the throne is the will of Heaven, I will defy Heaven!"

His short sentence was as calm as a still river, yet it revealed a surge of heroic spirit, sweeping away the dejection and sorrow.

Yue Biao, his neck stiff, shouted, "Damn it, that son of a bitch Cang Shitian, I'll fight him to the death!"

Lin Birou asked, "Lord Dragon, now that Prince Qi and the Princess have both been killed, what should we do next?"

Long Hui only said three words: "Iron Wall Pass!"

After entering the Hedong region, Long Hui bought a jade urn to hold Prince Qi's ashes. He bowed three times to the urn and silently prayed, "Your Highness, you must protect me on this journey north to Iron Wall Pass!"

Along the way, Long Hui tried to gather his true energy, but the effect was not great. It took him two whole days to recover 40%. He thought that he should never use these two immortal swords unless it was a matter of life and death, otherwise he would be exhausted and at the mercy of others.

On the third day, with the assistance of Lin Birou's Nine Heavens True Qi, Long Hui recovered seven-tenths of his original strength after this shared Qi entered his body. However, Lin Birou was exhausted, panting and drenched in sweat. Looking at this delicate and weak beauty, Long Hui wanted to cultivate with her again to quickly recover his strength, but since they were in the wilderness and there was a dark-skinned man beside him, he abandoned the idea.

So he had Yue Biao protect him from the side and instead faced Lin Birou with his palms facing each other, circulating their Qi to complement each other. Although the effect was not as obvious as dual cultivation, it still restored some of his strength.

He continued his journey, strengthening his foundation and replenishing his energy. It wasn't until midnight on the sixth day that Long Hui finally recovered. This was the first time it had taken him so long to recover his true energy without injury, and he felt incredibly frustrated. On the morning of the seventh day, Long Hui roared to the sky, venting his anger: "Cang Shitian—you die!"

His rage surged, and with his strength restored, Long Hui raised his hand and threw a punch, causing thunder and lightning to crash down, blasting a small patch of forest to smithereens, leaving only scorched earth.

Lin Birou smiled and said, "Congratulations, Dragon Lord, you've achieved complete success!"

Long Hui said, "I wasted six whole days; I can't delay any longer. Today I will seize military power at Iron Wall Pass!"

Yue Biao asked curiously, "We haven't even left Hedong yet, how can we go to Iron Wall Pass to seize power?"

Long Hui chuckled, stretched out his five fingers, and lifted the burly man like a chicken. With a long roar, he flew away into the sky.

Yue Biao felt the air around him swirling around him, the strong wind rushing towards him and blowing into his mouth and nose. He was momentarily flustered, but when he adjusted, he found himself thousands of feet in the sky. Looking at the white clouds all around him, Yue Biao swallowed hard and said, "Damn it, is this the flying skill of a master of the Innate Realm? It's terrifying!"

"Hey, big guy, it's not just masters of the Innate Realm who can fly!"

A sweet laugh rang out, and Lin Birou appeared, riding the wind and clouds, her dress fluttering, like a celestial beauty, walking alongside Long Hui.

Yue Biao stuck out his tongue and said, "What kind of martial art is this?"

Lin Birou found the dark-skinned man's simple and honest nature amusing, so she teased him, "If you want me to tell you, just call me 'Grandma' and let me hear it!"

Yue Biao shook his head and said, "Then I don't want to know."

Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Lin Birou felt quite bored.

After a while, Yue Biao asked again, "General Long, is this girl your wife?"

Long Hui smiled and said, "Not yet, but she's preparing to marry into the family!"

Lin Birou was secretly delighted upon hearing this, her face flushing with spring-like joy.

Yue Biao then asked, "General, how many wives do you actually have?"

Long Hui replied, "Eight in total, including those who are married and those who aren't. If you include concubines and such, there are probably a dozen or twenty!"

The last sentence was a clear exaggeration; he said it offhand.

Lin Birou secretly counted, "Eight. Among those who are married, there's Bing'er, Xuexin, and Suya. If not, there's me, my junior sister, Sister Die, Lingyu... and Bing'er's sworn sister, Lianyi. Exactly eight."

Yue Biao shuddered and muttered, "My god, people say three women make one gigolo. General Long, your family is certainly lively."

Lin Birou couldn't help but smile and scolded, "If you dare to nag again, I'll throw you down."

After flying for half a day, they were nearing Iron Wall Pass. Looking down from their high vantage point, they saw the majestic mountain range and the towering pass.

The soldiers on the high platform suddenly saw someone approaching and immediately sounded the alarm. The soldiers on the city walls went into battle mode, and all the armored vehicles and cannons were pointed skyward.

The garrison commander shouted, "Who goes there? Halt and state your name, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Long Hui called out, "It's me, Long Hui!"

His voice was like a dragon's roar, shaking the entire city wall. Many soldiers recognized him, and their attitude softened considerably, unconsciously lowering their weapons.

The commander shouted, "What are you doing! He's a traitor now! Grab your weapons and prepare to capture the traitor!"

Long Hui glanced at the garrison commander and sneered, "Are you subordinate to Vice Commander Tang Ming?"

After Yang Ye was crowned king, Tie Rushan succeeded as commander-in-chief, while Tang Ming became his deputy, but his words carried far less weight than those of Long Hui and Bai Lingyu.

The garrison commander sneered, "Indeed, I am Lin, the centurion of Commander Tang's army..."

Before he could finish announcing his name, he smelled a fragrant breeze, and then a beautiful face flashed before his eyes. He was immediately slapped, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and his front teeth fell out.

Lin Birou, her pretty face frosty, appeared on the city wall like a ghost and delivered a vicious slap.

The garrison commander saw stars and only recovered after a long while, roaring, "Quickly capture this shrew!"

Lin Birou sneered, lightly flicking her sleeves. A gentle breeze transformed into a powerful surge, swirling the surrounding soldiers around them. With a flick of her jade palm, she unleashed a burst of power, shattering an ironclad cannon with a resounding crack. Her move combined the power of the sea breeze and the turret, first using a gentle breeze to disperse the soldiers, then unleashing a tidal wave to shatter the cannon.

The soldiers were terrified by the sight of such a delicate woman being so formidable.

The garrison commander shuddered, gripping his sword hilt and shouting, "You audacious scoundrel! How dare you attack the border troops! Quickly, kill her!" As soon

as he finished speaking, his sword vanished, replaced by Long Hui standing before him, the sword now in his hand.

Long Hui casually placed the blade against the man's neck, sneering, "When did Iron Wall Pass produce such a coward as you, actually leading a group of men to ambush and kill a woman!"

The garrison commander dared not move, swallowing hard, "She attacked first!"

Long Hui snorted, "She is my subordinate. You, a mere centurion, dare to order me around like that. Such a lack of discipline and manners, shouldn't you be punished?" Yue

Biao shouted from the side, "Military regulations stipulate that those who disobey their superiors will be punished with fifty lashes at the very least, and beheaded as a warning to others at worst!" Long Hui snorted, "Did you hear that? This black-faced brother is the current martial arts champion. What you just did has already violated military regulations. Shall I give you fifty lashes, or should I push the blade a few more times?" The garrison commander

forced himself to say, "Traitor, kill me if you want..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked in the stomach, groaning in pain as he clutched his belly.

Long Hui sneered, "Traitor? Which of your dog eyes saw me rebelling!"

With that, he grabbed the man by the neck and dragged him off the city wall.

The guard cried out, "You... what are you doing?"

Long Hui smiled without speaking, secretly channeling a stream of reversed Five Elements True Qi into the guard. The guard immediately writhe in excruciating pain, tears and snot streaming down his face. Even Lin Birou couldn't withstand this reversed Five Elements technique, let alone someone as mediocre as him. In no time, the guard was crying and begging Long Hui for mercy.

Long Hui laughed and cursed him as a coward, then casually released the reversed Five Elements True Qi from the guard. He

walked straight towards the commander's mansion. The soldiers he encountered were either his old subordinates or intimidated by his reputation, and no one dared to stop him, allowing Long Hui to move as if he were in an empty place.

Upon reaching the entrance of the commander's mansion, Long Hui found it heavily guarded, with twice the usual number of sentries. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Has Tang Ming become even more afraid of death since becoming commander-in-chief?"

A closer look revealed that these sentries were all Tang Ming's direct subordinates, surrounding the entire mansion tightly.

Long Hui grabbed the guard, glared at him, and demanded, "Tell me the truth if you want to live!"

The guard, having suffered so much, dared not disobey and said, "It's a secret envoy from the capital… Commander Tang has summoned all the generals and all the captains of the ten thousand corps to assemble at the mansion, saying he's there to welcome an imperial envoy."

A secret envoy, an imperial envoy? Long Hui sneered inwardly, "What a load of rubbish! Cang Shitian is quite swift, sending a lackey to try and take Iron Wall Pass!"

Thinking of the Haotian Sect's henchmen, Long Hui's murderous intent surged, and he led Lin Birou and Yue Biao straight inside.

Those sentries were no match for him. With a single unleashed True Essence of Earth, the earth trembled, scattering them in disarray; with a silent channeling of True Essence of Wood, strange vines entwined them, immobilizing the sentries.

The main hall of the commander's mansion was tightly shut, heavily guarded. Long Hui gave Lin Birou a wink, and the two simultaneously subdued the guards without revealing their presence.

Long Hui focused his hearing, eavesdropping on the situation inside. He heard a familiar voice say, "Generals, this is the secret envoy from the capital. He has a few words to convey to you all."

The voice belonged to Tang Ming, the deputy commander of Iron Wall Pass.

A strange voice rang out; it must be Li Bufan, the Grand Chancellor. He said, "Generals, I am Li Bufan, Grand Chancellor. A few days ago, His Majesty unfortunately passed away due to persecution by treacherous officials. The ones who poisoned His Majesty were Long Hui, the former commander of the Azure Dragon Army at Iron Wall Pass, and Bai Yu, the commander of the Qilin Army. Bai Yu's true identity is His Majesty's own daughter, but she was blinded by evil and colluded with these traitors to poison her own father. Her crime deserves death. Now, King Xia has called upon the world to join forces against the rebels! Iron Wall Pass is the gateway to the Central Plains; every soldier there is a hero, capable of discerning right from wrong, knowing what is right and wrong. Therefore, I implore you generals to lend your full support!"

Tang Ming said, "I'm sure you all understand. This time, Iron Wall Pass will assist King Xia in punishing the rebels!"

"General Long is a hero of his generation, how could he do such a beastly thing!"

a loud voice shouted. Long Hui recognized the voice; it was Xu Hu, one of his generals in the Azure Dragon Army. Although only eighteen years old, Xu Hu had joined the army at thirteen, starting as a shield-bearer and rising through the ranks. He fought bravely and repeatedly distinguished himself. Long Hui had personally promoted him to the position of centurion in the Azure Dragon Army, making him the third-highest-ranking officer after Wang Dong and Liang Ming.

Tang Ming said unhappily, "General Xu Hu, I know Long Hui is your former superior, but his rebellion is already confirmed. Why risk your future for this?"

Xu Hu replied, "Commander Tang, General Long has risked his life for the Great Heng Empire, first defeating Tie Lie, then pacifying Fengdu. In every battle, he has led from the front, fighting without regard for his own safety. How could such a courageous man commit regicide and rebellion!"

"That's right, I also don't believe General Bai would murder his own father!"

This speaker was Sun De, the second-in-command of the Qilin Army.

The generals of both the Azure Dragon and Qilin armies raised their own doubts, all refusing to believe that Long Hui and Bai Lingyu were traitors.

Tang Ming shouted, "Have you all rebelled? You're all speaking up for traitors!"

Li Bufan smiled and said, "General Tang, don't get agitated. The soldiers just don't understand the truth. Let me continue explaining. Long Hui and Bai Lingyu were indeed originally brave warriors protecting the country, but they were bewitched by the demon race and became the lackeys and dogs of the demons, wanting to overthrow the Great Heng Empire for the Demon Queen!"

Xu Hu slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Outrageous! How dare you slander my general like this! I, Xu Hu, will kill you today, you dog of an official!"

Tang Ming shouted, "Xu Hu, are you trying to rebel?! Men, tie him up!"

This angered the generals of the Azure Dragon army, who became agitated and began to curse. The Qilin army also echoed, saying that Li Bufan was spouting nonsense and framing loyal officials, and that they wanted to kill him.

Tang Ming shouted, "They've all rebelled! Men, seize them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded all around the inner hall, followed by the sound of axemen moving out. The two military commanders were surrounded.

Tang Ming laughed, "These bastards were all promoted by those two traitors. To prevent future trouble, I, the commander, will rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free and take them all down today!"

Just then, Li Bufan laughed, "Brilliant! When King Xia ascends the throne, he will certainly not treat Commander Tang unfairly!"

The two generals were so angry that they cursed, but the first thing they did upon entering the commander's mansion was to disarm themselves, as they were completely unarmed at the moment.

The second chapter, "The Lustful Buddha Captures the Demon

," is an act of utter intolerance. Long Hui shattered the main gate with a single palm strike, overwhelming the enemy. He first swept aside over thirty axemen near the gate, then charged into the hall, blocking the path of the Azure Dragon and

Qilin generals, angrily shouting, "You surnamed Tang, I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Long Hui's true energy surged, forcing the axemen to retreat. The generals were overjoyed. Xu Hu cried out, "General, you're finally back! This Tang bastard tried to sell us all out!"

Long Hui nodded, saying, "Xu Hu, don't worry. With me here, this Tang bastard won't dare to act recklessly." "!"

Tang Ming's face darkened. "You traitor, you actually dare to come back!"

Long Hui sneered, "I have a clear conscience, why wouldn't I dare to come back!"

Tang Ming said, "You became a henchman of the demon race, plotting against the emperor, and you still have the nerve to say you have a clear conscience!"

Long Hui said, "You, surnamed Tang, gouge your dog ears out! I didn't harm the emperor! Furthermore, I dare to swear on my life—I, Long Hui, am not a henchman of the demon race, much less a lackey of the demon race!"

He wasn't lying. He wasn't a henchman of the demon race, but a dignified prince consort. Even the demons had to treat him with utmost respect.

Xu Hu shouted, "General, you are a hero, how could you do such a beastly thing? Everyone, don't listen to the treacherous people sowing discord!"

Xu Hu's words were agreed upon by many of his generals. In addition, Long Hui's appearance suppressed the axemen, and the crowd became even more aggressive.

"Yes, it must be this Tang fellow colluding with this corrupt official to try and seize Iron Wall Pass!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Faced with the murderous crowd, Tang Ming suddenly felt fear and couldn't help but take a half step back. Li Bufan's expression was cold and ruthless, his eyes revealing a vicious glint.

Long Hui said disdainfully, "Li Bufan, I don't know if this is your real name, but do you think you can escape from me?"

Li Bufan said strongly and calmly, "I am just a scholar, how can I compete with you vicious villains? But a scholar also has the spirit of a scholar, and I cannot be subdued by force. Even if I die by your hand today, I will leave behind a pool of loyal blood to reflect in history!"

Long Hui snorted, "A scholar? When did the scum of the Haotian Sect become scholars?"

He sneered and snapped his fingers. Lin Birou immediately flew into the hall, her jade-like hand pressing against Li Bufan's chest.

Li Bufan coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. His bones cracked and popped, veins bulged on his face, black wisps of energy rose between his brows, and his pupils turned crimson. His mouth gaped open, spewing out a foul stench, making him resemble a bloodthirsty zombie.

Lin Birou shouted, "Everyone, look closely! This man is radiating evil! What kind of court official is he? He's clearly a henchman of the Haotian Sect!"

Her previous palm strike had been imbued with the Yin power of the Netherworld Scroll, secretly using the "Eighteen Netherworld Soldiers" technique on Li Bufan. This technique was somewhat similar to the Yin Army Corpse Soldiers of the Fiend Domain; when it struck a living person, it caused them to "ghostly" in effect.

Since Cang Shitian had smeared him so much, he would give him a taste of his own medicine. Long Hui didn't care whether Li Bufan had mastered the Haotian Sect's martial arts; he directly instructed Lin Birou to deliver this Yin Palm strike. Even if Li Bufan was just an ordinary scholar, everyone would believe he was an evil person.

Taking advantage of the situation, Long Hui said, "Listen up, everyone! The current King Xia is not the real one, but a fake, Cang Shitian in disguise. He has successively killed King Tai, King Jin, King Song, and King Qi, and even plotted to usurp the throne by assassinating the Emperor. This Li Bufan is his henchman. He wants to seize the Iron Wall Pass's elite troops. Gentlemen, whether what I'm saying is true or not, you can tell by looking at this scoundrel's appearance. How can a civil official be so ferocious and evil!"

Long Hui added, "The Haotian Sect originated from the Shengji Sect, and the sect leader of the Shengji Sect, Ao Xin, is a vengeful ghost from the Sha Domain. Brothers who participated in the Battle of Fengdu must know what those vengeful ghosts look like! Now the Sha Domain has been crippled by the combined forces of various parties and is powerless to wreak havoc on the world. Only the Haotian Sect, which inherits the evil arts of the Sha Domain, has this kind of inhuman and ghostly martial arts!"

Seeing Li Bufan's current half-human, half-corpse appearance, everyone immediately believed him to a large extent.

Long Hui shouted, "Yue Biao, the traitor of the Haotian Sect is right here! Why don't you kill him and offer him a blood sacrifice to His Highness Prince Qi?"

Yue Biao roared and swung his axe at Li Bufan. Blood splattered everywhere, and a head fell to the ground.

Li Bufan's head rolled right in front of Tang Ming, who collapsed to the ground in fright.

Long Hui glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "The head of this Grand Chancellor is right here. You all know what to do, right?"

His tone was calm, but it carried a chilling aura, intimidating those with ulterior motives. Moreover, killing Li Bufan, who came from the capital, was tantamount to breaking with Yujing, cutting off those who wanted to switch sides, and forcing them to be on the same boat as him.

Long Hui pulled out a secret edict and a blood-written letter from his robes, laid them out on the table, and said, "His Highness Prince Qi did not rebel that day, but conspired with the Emperor to lure Cang Shitian out with a self-inflicted injury ruse. However, fate was cruel, and both the Emperor and Prince Qi perished. This blood-written letter, entrusted to me by His Highness Prince Qi before his death, is something everyone can see clearly if they are right or wrong!"

The crowd gathered around to look, and Prince Qi's former subordinates suddenly realized the truth, angrily cursing the Haotian Sect and wishing they could rush into the capital to kill the treacherous minister.

Long Hui glanced at the assembled generals and noticed some still hesitating. He then said, "The days of guarding the border are indeed arduous, but we do it to protect our homes and country and to do righteous things. Yet, the most ruthless and vicious Haotian Sect has occupied the prosperous and wealthy capital of Yujing. Tell me, is there any justice in this world?!"

The crowd shouted, "No justice!"

Long Hui continued, "I once joined forces with the Confucian Master to destroy a Haotian Sect stronghold. Inside, they hid a portion of their treasure. Do you know how much wealth that is? It's equivalent to six years of tax revenue for the Great Heng Kingdom. Once we quell the Haotian Sect and take their treasure, what will we have to worry about for the rest of our lives?!"

Upon hearing this, many people perked up and loudly echoed Long Hui's words.

Long Hui continued, "There's something else you all don't know. The Haotian Sect has controlled a small border country in the Western Regions for decades. The people there worship Cang Shitian like a god. They're all incorrigible evil people. If we want to eliminate the Haotian Sect, then we must conquer the Western Regions!"

At this point, Long Hui's voice changed, and he said slyly, "The women of the Western Regions have snow-white skin, eyes like the sea, and voluptuous figures. Do you all want a few to warm your beds?"

Having stayed at Iron Wall Pass for a long time, the guards had never seen any beautiful women. So, as soon as Lin Birou appeared, the guards were so captivated that they were weak in the knees and couldn't even hold their weapons steady.

Many people secretly swallowed, just as Long Hui had intended. He continued, "The Great Heng military regulations state that anyone who rapes a Great Heng woman will be executed! But those barbarian dogs who submit to the Haotian Sect are not considered citizens of Great Heng. Everyone can do whatever they want with them! Besides, the Peach Blossom Demons within the Haotian Sect are all incredibly alluring..."

He trailed off, saying nothing more.

"General, are you telling the truth?"

a bearded man asked.

Long Hui laughed, "Absolutely!"

The bearded man said, "I have no particular hobbies in life, except to have my hands on Western Region women before I die. So, after we conquer the Western Regions, will we really be allowed to move freely?"

Long Hui said, "We must not harm the law-abiding citizens, but as for those disciples of the Haotian Sect... do whatever you want, I can't be bothered with them!"

"Fine, I'll sell this hundred-plus jin of meat to the general today!"

Long Hui knew that these generals, not his own direct subordinates, couldn't be won over by morality alone. Only by offering corresponding benefits would they serve him. For men, money and women are the best temptations. However, Long Hui also used this opportunity to test their intentions, knowing who could be relied upon and who should be used with caution.

Aside from the Azure Dragon and Qilin armies, those who were determined to avenge King Qi could be relied upon, while those motivated by money and women should be used with caution. They should never be entrusted with crucial missions or battles, because while they could be bribed today, they might be lured away by the Haotian Sect tomorrow.

However, some remained calm and asked, "General Long, if we are to launch a military campaign, we will need provisions and military supplies. But Tiebi Pass is located in a desolate area, and we rely on the imperial court for our supplies. If we don't solve this problem, we may find it difficult to move forward in the future."

Long Hui said, "I have already considered this matter!"

He then summoned Xu Hu and asked, "How long can the provisions at Tiebi Pass last?"

Xu Hu replied, "They can last for half a month for daily training, but only ten days at most for a war."

Long Hui nodded and said, "Very good. Within ten days, I will capture the five major counties of Tianshui, Zhongtong, Maxia, Fengling, and Jiuye, and open up the Liaodong supply route!"

Although the five major counties are not large cities, they are closely connected and have convenient transportation. If one is attacked, the other four will come to its aid. In addition, the five counties have abundant provisions and strong fortifications, so even with the large number of soldiers and generals at Tiebi Pass, they will not be easy to deal with.

Sun De frowned and said, "General, these five counties originally intended to contain Iron Wall Pass. Taking it within ten days might be a stretch."

Long Hui confidently replied, "The five counties are united, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. I have a brilliant plan to utterly defeat them."

Xu Hu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "General Long, count me in when you take the five counties!"

Seeing Long Hui's confidence, the generals' morale soared, and they all pledged their loyalty.

Long Hui and the others swore a blood oath, promising never to betray each other. He then imprisoned Tang Ming, finally securing military control of Iron Wall Pass.

In the dead of night, Long Hui stood before his former house, gazing at the night sky. The northern frontier was desolate, and the autumn night was already bitterly cold. The whistling autumn wind felt like a sharp knife, penetrating his clothes and reaching his skin.

Long Hui was filled with mixed emotions, worried about the future situation and also concerned about the decisive battle three days later.

Suddenly, a delicate, sweet fragrance wafted from behind, and a warm robe was draped over his shoulders. Long Hui turned around and saw that it was Lin Birou who had put the robe on him.

Long Hui laughed, "Bi Rou, I'm not cold. This little bit of wind isn't enough to make me shiver."

Lin Bi Rou blushed and bit her lip, saying, "I forgot that Lord Long's martial arts are superb; a mere cold wind is nothing to him."

Long Hui chuckled and said, "My body isn't cold, but my heart is a little cold. However, with your robe covering me, I feel warm from the inside out."

Lin Bi Rou laughed, "Is it really that amazing?"

Long Hui smiled and pulled her into his arms, spreading out his robe to cover her as well, and said, "Try it and you'll see."

The robe was very large, enough to cover two people. Lin Bi Rou leaned against Long Hui's chest and felt a surge of masculine warmth surrounding her. Covered by the mink robe, this warmth became even more profound and cozy, like having a small stove beside her, which brought a rosy glow to her fair cheeks.

Lin Birou bit her lip and said, "Lord Dragon, this military camp forbids women... You've broken the rules."

Long Hui laughed, "This isn't a military camp. This is the living quarters for officers and soldiers. Soldiers are human too; they also need to marry and have children. Otherwise, if they were forbidden from women and alcohol every day, they'd all get sick."

Lin Birou blinked her bright eyes and said, "This isn't a military camp?"

Long Hui nodded, "Yes, many officers' wives live here."

Lin Birou's eyes sparkled, and she breathed softly, "Lord Dragon, it's late. You should rest..."

Her voice trailed off with a touch of coquettish charm. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Although Lin Birou lived in the Long residence, she hadn't been able to get close to Long Hui because of her junior sister's shyness. Now, the two of them were finally alone in this remote pass, thousands of miles away. Lin Birou's face flushed, her body burning with desire, and she longed to bury herself in Long Hui's arms.

Holding this voluptuous and fiery body in his arms, Long Hui was also filled with excitement. He immediately carried the beauty back into the house.

As soon as they entered, Long Hui kicked the door shut with his back foot. His hands caressed Lin Birou's body, and he couldn't wait to find the beauty's fiery lips. Lin Birou offered her fragrant tongue, which she sucked into her lover's mouth. The two were passionate and couldn't wait to become one... Outside, the cold wind blew, but inside, spring was in the air. Long Hui rode on Lin Birou's long-deprived body to his heart's content, making the beautiful woman sweat and splatter her juices. Her snow-white body swayed constantly, and her slender legs wrapped around the man. Her heart was filled with love, which turned into soft moans.

As the wind subsided and the clouds dispersed, Lin Birou, covered in a layer of warm, fragrant sweat, nestled affectionately in Long Hui's arms and asked, "Lord Long, when do you plan to attack the Five Counties?"

Long Hui tenderly wiped the sweat from her brow and replied, "Three days from now... But before the battle begins, I have something to attend to at Puppet Mountain."

As the setting sun shone, atop Puppet Mountain, a figure in snow-white robes stood against the wind, her skirt fluttering, silently channeling her inner energy, drawing forth fiery clouds that blotted out the sky; opposite her stood a figure in green robes, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed in fierce anger, seven-colored light flowing around her body, defiantly facing the oppressive power of the fiery clouds.

With a gentle lift of her slender hand, Luo Qingyan tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear with her delicate, orchid-like pinky finger. She said, "Mingluan, I wronged you back then!"

After hearing Long Hui recount what happened back then, Luo Qingyan, though unwilling, believed him somewhat in her heart when she saw Shui Lingti's condition. It wasn't until she met Xiaoxiao that Luo Qingyan secretly examined her pulse and discovered that this little girl did indeed have a constitution fused with demon blood, and that her constitution had a congenital defect that meant she should not have survived. However, a life essence filled her internal organs. What shocked her the most was that Xiaoxiao's demon blood was extremely violent, and she was more likely to lose control than those mixed-blood, impure Iron Fierce Wolf Soldiers. Only then did she realize that she had wronged Lu Mingluan.

Lu Mingluan was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure: "What's the use of saying all this now? My elder brother can't be resurrected!"

Luo Qingyan said, "That's right, just like Mingjia, my master can't be resurrected either. So even though I know the truth, I still can't avoid a life-or-death battle! Then let's use the Five Phoenix Heart Sutra as a stake. Once I've fully unleashed the Five Phoenix Heart Sutra, all grudges and grievances will be wiped clean!"

Lu Mingluan raised a cold eyebrow and said simply and directly, "Fine, then I'll experience your innate divine power once more!"

These few words foreshadowed the final battle of grudges and grievances, victory and defeat, life and death, with all feelings and resentments vanishing after the Five Transformations of Phoenix Fire.

Luo Qingyan's delicate hands formed a seal, and a blazing spiritual fire transformed into a whirlwind, containing the power to burn away hatred and resentment, and burst forth fiercely.

Crimson fire swept across the scene, gradually staining the clouds. The fiery clouds seemed to call out, transforming into a crimson-feathered phoenix to aid in the battle—this was the first move of the Five Phoenix Heart Sutra, the Savage Crimson Quail Feather! Lu Mingluan paused, condensing her true energy, transforming it into essence. Her true essence, infinitely close to innate, burst forth, and her eight-winged phoenix spread its wings in praise of her power, its seven-colored divine light fiercely meeting

the enemy. Luo Qingyan, wielding the Crimson Fire Phoenix form, struck her nemesis with a palm strike.

Lu Mingluan raised her fair wrist, the seven-colored divine light transforming into a wall of energy to block the fiery phoenix's fierce palm.

Luo Qingyan circulated her true energy, condensing it at her fingertips. Her five slender, jade-like fingers, like steel hooks, resembled the sharp claws of a phoenix, forcefully tearing through the energy wall, aiming straight for Lu Mingluan's heart. With

the phoenix claws pressing in, Lu Mingluan's demonic form moved again, its eight wings curling forward to protect her, sealing the fiery phoenix claws.

With a deafening roar, Lu Mingluan managed to hold her ground, but the difference in their cultivation levels proved too great. She was forced back five or six steps by Luo Qingyan's force, a flash of crimson like blood crossing her pretty face before vanishing without a trace, leaving her delicate features as white as snow.

Luo Qingyan laughed, "Junior sister, you almost couldn't withstand the first move. How will you defend against the remaining four?"

Having barely managed to parry the first move of the Five Phoenix Heart Technique after using two consecutive techniques, Lu Mingluan knew the gap between them. If she simply defended, she would likely lose even faster. At this moment, she had to use all her strength to reduce the power of the Phoenix Fire through offense.

In this round, Lu Mingluan struck first, unleashing a powerful shout as she combined her three skills: Azure Wood Tempering, Ice Marrow Force, and Mountain-Pulling Palm. Luo Qingyan's pretty face darkened, recognizing that this combined attack was aimed at "Wild Red Quail Feather." She immediately changed her technique, her sleeves fluttering, a golden flame flashing across her jade-like wrist. Her slender hands then slashed with her fingers, unleashing a burst of blade energy.

The golden blade energy first shattered the Ice Marrow Force, then broke through the Azure Fire, and upon encountering the Mountain-Pulling Palm, it immediately dissipated. Simultaneously, a golden phoenix spread its wings and swooped down; the hidden move within this blade was—Yellow Phoenix Dance in the Sky.

Lu Mingluan brought her hands together, crossing them in a cross shape to protect her chest, trapping Yellow Phoenix's initial attack. Then, with a delicate shout, she pulled her slender arms outwards, unleashing seven-colored divine light that shot out like a thousand arrows, riddling Yellow Phoenix with holes.

Lu Mingluan pressed her advantage, closing in on Luo Qingyan in a single stride. Her delicate fingers reached for her opponent's throat, employing the "Bird's Peck" move from the Six Phases of the Clouds, a vicious strike capable of disemboweling an enemy.

Luo Qingyan giggled, "Junior sister, watch how I counter you!"

With a tinkling laugh, Luo Qingyan flicked her sleeves, unleashing the "Sparrow Spreads Wings" move from the Six Phases of the Clouds, a technique emphasizing lightness and agility, perfectly blocking the Bird's Peck.

In close combat, Lu Mingluan was equally ruthless, thrusting her knee forward as if aiming for Luo Qingyan's dantian.

Luo Qingyan's skirt billowed, her lotus feet flashing out in a lightning-fast kick, deflecting Lu Mingluan's knee strike.

Lu Mingluan immediately threw another punch, which Luo Qingyan blocked with her slender arm. The two women then engaged in close combat, exchanging blows and kicks in a thrilling display. However, their beauty and allure made their fight seem less like a life-or-death struggle and more like close friends frolicking among flowers, waving, lifting their skirts, their fragrance filling the air, teasing bees and butterflies.

Luo Qingyan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, her thoughts drifting. Driven by her subconscious, she blurted out, "Junior sister, you're being cheeky again!"

Her light laughter and gentle words were like a warm spring breeze, instantly bringing Lu Mingluan back to the past… The two sisters would spar, and whenever she was at a disadvantage, she would jokingly approach her senior sister, using some fancy but ineffective moves. Luo Qingyan could only laugh and cry at her, playfully scolding, "Junior sister, you're being cheeky again!" A perfectly good sparring match would turn into playful banter between young girls.

The past is gone, and it's impossible to return to the original intention. Lu Mingluan's eyes welled up with tears, her heart aching, but she quickly suppressed the mixed emotions in her chest and focused on her enemy.

Luo Qingyan's eyes narrowed, and the phoenix fire reignited, letting out a high-pitched cry that shook Lu Mingluan, making her dizzy. She could only retreat to avoid the attack. When she regained her footing, she saw the blue flames surging—the cry of the phoenix! Luo Qingyan waved her jade hand, and the blue flames transformed into feathers, sharp energy surging out like countless hidden weapons.

Lu Mingluan swung her palms in a circle, seven-colored divine light condensing into a shield, hovering in front of her to block the blue flame feathers.

The energy clashed in the air, and Lu Mingluan also had to bear the pressure. She was struggling to defend herself; her arms were sore and numb, her chest felt tight, and the seven-colored light shield was on the verge of breaking.

Desperate for survival, Lu Mingluan gritted her teeth and endured the final wave of attacks. At the same time, her strength was exhausted, and the seven-colored light shield instantly dissipated.

Just then, a scorching purple flame swept over, striking Lu Mingluan in the chest. The fiery energy burned into her meridians, and she felt as if she had fallen into purgatory, with the blood flowing through her body turning into molten iron in a furnace.

Lu Mingluan collapsed to the ground, coughing and vomiting blood incessantly. Hot breath billowed from her mouth and nose, the vomit turning into a foul-smelling mist the moment it hit the ground. She laughed bitterly, "What a brilliant move, 'The Phoenix Burns the Three Realms,' but alas, I'm still not dead. Luo Qingyan, doesn't the Five Phoenix Heart Sutra have a final move? Why didn't you use it!"

A flicker of pain crossed Luo Qingyan's eyes. In her current state, Lu Mingluan could kill her with a single blow, let alone that final move. Yet, she couldn't muster the slightest killing intent. The person before her had lost all strength; she was her former sworn enemy, whom she hated to the core. She simply couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

"Junior sister, if only I had listened to you back then… this wouldn't have happened!"

Luo Qingyan sighed softly, her eyes glistening with tears.

Lu Mingluan smiled bitterly and said, "Even now, do you still want to put on such a high-handed attitude? If you still have any regard for our past relationship, then give me a quick death and stop humiliating me!"

Luo Qingyan's pretty face turned deathly pale. She sighed deeply and knelt down on both knees before Lu Mingluan, kowtowing three times. She solemnly said, "All the faults are mine, but I cannot let Master's death go unpunished. These three kowtows are my apology to you. I can never repay you in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will be your slave to atone for my sins!"

Lu Mingluan's delicate body trembled, and two lines of clear tears slid down her face. She murmured, "If I win today, I will kill you because of my brother's death. I don't blame you... Go ahead, Senior Sister!"

Luo Qingyan sighed and closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes already covered with a layer of mist.

"Junior sister, I'm so sorry!"

Luo Qingyan slowly raised her right hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual fire condensed and arose, bright and white, radiating light and illuminating the entire Puppet Mountain range, making it appear as if the mountain was sealed by ice and snow, but without the coldness of snow, instead with the scorching heat comparable to the blazing sun.

Lu Mingluan's expression was calm, and she smiled lightly, "Is this the final move of the Five Phoenix Heart Sutra?"

Luo Qingyan nodded and said, "Junior sister, this move is called Ten Yang Sacrifice to the White Swan. You... rest in peace on your journey. I hope that in your next life you can be reborn into a good family and not be tainted by this meaningless dust."

Her fair hand seemed translucent under the light of the white fire, appearing even more white and jade-like. Luo Qingyan gritted her teeth in pain, hardened her heart, and was about to strike down with her palm when suddenly a loud Buddhist chant rang out, and golden Buddhist light surged behind her.

Luo Qingyan immediately turned and retaliated, striking the attacker from behind with a palm strike. The force of her palm scorched the earth, leaving a thousand feet of barren land, with flames leaping out in the air.

Suddenly, a brilliant Buddhist light erupted, suppressing the raging white flames. With a sweep of her palm, a power surpassing the limits of innate abilities surged forth, extinguishing the white flames.

Luo Qingyan was astonished. When had such a master appeared in the world, so easily breaking her ultimate technique without a scratch?

In her astonishment, the Buddhist figure pounced like a ghost, so fast she had no chance to react. Her meridians were sealed, and she collapsed to the ground, subdued.

Lu Mingluan looked up and saw a long-haired monk standing smiling, carrying a sword pouch on his back. His features were delicate, his skin radiant—a handsome Buddhist prince.

"You lecherous Buddha, it's you!"

Lu Mingluan's face paled, her anger burning. Had she not been injured beforehand, she would have torn him to pieces.

The man was indeed the fake Wei Tuo, who laughed heartily, "Wonderful, wonderful! I just captured two lesser demons in Jiangnan, and now I've caught two more big ones at Puppet Mountain. Truly, your merits are immeasurable."

Luo Qingyan's expression also changed, and she angrily asked, "Who did you capture?"

The fake Wei Tuo chuckled, "I don't know either. I only know that the people around her call her Bing'er, and the other one has a round, chubby face."

Lu Mingluan was horrified and cried out, "You captured Xiaoxiao? Release her immediately, or I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"

Luo Qingyan's beautiful eyes also flashed with murderous intent, and she said, word by word, "If you dare harm Bing'er, I won't let you go either!"

The fake Wei Tuo laughed heartily, "Stubborn vixen, you two fought so fiercely just now, wasting a lot of your inner energy, only to have this monk reap the benefits. Now that you've both been subdued by this monk, how can you expect me to suffer a terrible death!"

The two women were taken aback. If they hadn't been weakened by each other, their combined strength might have been enough to defeat this monk.

The fake Wei Tuo said no more, casually sealing Lu Mingluan's acupoints, then embracing the two fragrant and delicate bodies in his arms, and walking down the mountain.

Luo Qingyan, with her keen observation, noticed that the fake Wei Tuo's breathing was extremely labored, seemingly close to exhaustion, and knew there was an opportunity.

She gave Lu Mingluan a wink. Lu Mingluan had grown up with her since childhood and had a tacit understanding, but in recent years, due to their enmity, they had become hostile to each other. Now, being in such a dangerous situation, it had actually brought them closer together.

Their eyes met, a knowing glint in their eyes, and the two women immediately began to devise a plan to escape. Luo Qingyan mouthed, "Compromise!"

Lu Mingluan mouthed back, "Wait for the right moment!"

The fake Weituo chuckled, "Don't think you can take advantage of me just because I've exhausted my true energy. I only need to absorb a little bit of his essence to recover my strength!"

The two women's hearts sank to the bottom. The fake Weituo led them down Puppet Mountain, straight to a house at the foot of the mountain, threw Lu Mingluan and Lu Mingluan onto the bed, and then left, closing the door behind him.

A moment later, they heard heavy breathing and sounds of flesh and blood coming from the next room. Luo and Lu's hearts trembled. Had Bing'er and Xiao Xiao been defiled by this lecherous monk? Thinking of this, they were filled with anxiety and tried to channel their inner energy into their acupoints. Lu Mingluan, injured beforehand, couldn't gather her strength and her efforts were in vain. Luo Qingyan, however, was in even greater difficulty. She didn't know what kind of Buddhist martial arts the fake Wei Tuo used, but it had sealed off all her acupoints and meridians,

preventing her from mobilizing even a trace of true energy. Besides anxiety, Luo Qingyan was also somewhat shocked. She had clearly reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm and was confident that she was unmatched in the world. Unexpectedly, she was powerless against this person. Even her strongest martial arts technique was easily extinguished by him, as if she were dealing with a mediocre martial artist.

Suddenly, the panting next door stopped, indicating that the lewd monk had finished his sexual exploitation. Wasn't Bing'er in grave danger? Luo Qingyan's heart was breaking, and tears streamed down her face. She had made up her mind that even if she suffered all the humiliation today, she would save her life and tear this lewd monk to pieces in the future.

"What's done is done, and even anger won't change anything. The only thing to do is try to escape..."

Luo Qingyan glanced at Lu Mingluan, noticing her pale face and heavy breathing. She thought to herself, "Mingluan's injuries are quite severe. If that lecherous monk were to drain her vital essence, she might not survive! When the lecherous monk comes in, I'll try to draw his attention to my side. Saving one person is saving one person..."

Just then, the fake Wei Tuo pushed open the door and entered, laughing, "Those two little vixens are too useless. They're half-dead in no time. " "You two are practically dead, I wonder if you two vixens can satisfy the Buddha!"

His eyes roamed over the two women's high, firm breasts, and he lewdly chuckled, "Vixens are indeed large enough..."

Luo Qingyan, her voice sweet and seductive, said, "Those two young girls are too inexperienced to know how to serve the Buddha. Let me practice the Joyful Meditation with the Buddha!"

Her allure was innate, and now, deliberately using it, she was utterly captivating. The fake Weituo was completely mesmerized, his bones softening, and he even lost several pounds.

"Very well, Your Majesty the Demon Queen knows what's good for you. Today, the Buddha will have his cake and eat it too, two phoenixes flying together!"

The fake Weituo laughed triumphantly, walked to the bedside, picked up Luo Qingyan's fragrant and sweet body, and was about to assault her.

Luo Qingyan suppressed her nausea, feigning a seductive and pleasing expression, trying to buy time for Lu Mingluan to recover.

Suddenly, Lu Mingluan sneered, "Even a withered flower can bewitch you like this, Wei Tuo, have you never seen a woman before!"

The fake Wei Tuo gave an "oh," put Luo Qingyan down, and smiled meaningfully, "Witch, what did you say?"

Lu Mingluan snorted, "You keep saying you want to replenish your yang by absorbing yin, yet you ignore your pure virginity and instead stare at a withered flower who even has a daughter. Your taste is truly despicable!"

The fake Wei Tuo chuckled lewdly, reached out and pinched Lu Mingluan's fair cheek, and said, "So, little lady is jealous. Very well, I'll start with you!"

As he spoke, he reached out his demonic claws towards Lu Mingluan. Lu Mingluan slowly closed her eyes, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.

Suddenly, the fake Weituo withdrew his hand and said thoughtfully, "Today is the young lady's first night, which can be considered her wedding night. How can we not drink the nuptial wine? Let me bring some fine wine, and then we can contemplate the Zen of Joy together."

After saying this, he walked out of the house triumphantly.

After the fake Weituo left, Luo Qingyan sighed, "Why did you do this? With your current injuries, how can you withstand that lewd monk's 'sexual exploitation'?"

Lu Mingluan said, "And what about you? Why did you rush to step forward? Your internal energy is sealed, and you're not much stronger than me. Are you really willing to give yourself away like this?"

Luo Qingyan sighed, "I already have a daughter, what is there to worry about? At worst, it's like being bitten by a dog. At least you'll still be a virgin..."

Lu Mingluan said calmly, "I noticed that the lewd Buddha seemed to be breathing heavily, as if his true energy was severely depleted. It seems that the reason he was able to subdue us wasn't without its problems. Perhaps this is our chance..." Luo

Qingyan nodded and said, "I saw that too. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to 'absorb yin' to replenish yang."

"Senior Sister!"

Lu Mingluan turned her head, her eyes moist as she looked at Luo Qingyan, and said, "This may be the last time I call you Senior Sister... I will try to keep that lecherous monk occupied in a while, and you can take the opportunity to recover your strength. When the time comes, give me a hint, and I will immediately use the Myriad Demon God-Slaying Technique to counterattack the lecherous monk. You watch the opportunity to give him a fatal blow!"

Luo Qingyan couldn't help but turn pale. The Myriad Demon God-Slaying Technique is a martial art of mutual destruction among demons. It does not require demonic energy to activate, but can be used by burning one's own demonic blood. However, it has a drawback: the charging time is too long, which may give the enemy a chance to dodge. But Lu Mingluan decided to serve the wolf with her own body, waiting for the moment when the fake Wei Tuo was enjoying himself, and then she would use the God-Slaying Technique to severely injure the enemy, which would also give Luo Qingyan a chance to kill the enemy and save her life.

Luo Qingyan felt a sudden dryness in her throat. This was the first time in over ten years that Lu Mingluan had genuinely called her "Senior Sister," but it was also the last time. Tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Mingluan, you can't do this! It was all my fault back then, causing you to suffer unjustly for over ten years. If anyone should use the God-Slaying Technique, it should be me!"

Luo Qingyan said, biting her lip and trembling.

Lu Mingluan smiled sadly, turning her head to gaze at the woman beside her, saying each word clearly, "Sister, if you truly feel indebted to me, then grant my request today!"

Luo Qingyan felt a chill run through her body, sobbing uncontrollably.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the fake Wei Tuo entered carrying a jar of fine wine.

Lu Mingluan immediately gave Luo Qingyan a look, signaling her not to hesitate any longer.

Luo Qingyan nodded with difficulty, slowly closing her eyes to suppress her tears.

The fake Wei Tuo chuckled as he put down the wine, saying, "What a touching scene of sisterly affection and mutual protection! If you two reconciled soon, everything would be fine, and I, this lecherous Buddha, wouldn't have had a chance to ambush you!"

Luan Feng's heart sank. It turned out this lecherous Buddha hadn't left at all; he'd been secretly plotting nearby, overhearing everything.

The fake Wei Tuo untied the sword pouch from his back and sighed, "Why is it that only when things are beyond repair are we willing to face our past mistakes, or confront our most primal intentions?"

Luo Qingyan sensed something amiss in his words and began to scrutinize him, her gaze falling on the sword pouch. A suspicion arose in her mind: "The pouch seems to contain more than one sword. His internal energy is extremely weak. If Bing'er had truly been drained of her energy by him, the Yin energy of her Xuan Yin Mei Body would have been enough to restore most of her strength; how could she be so weak?"

The fake Wei Tuo chuckled, "If I gave you another chance, would you continue fighting to the death, or would you make peace and forget your grudges?"

Luo Qingyan giggled, "If Master wants to know, come closer and I'll tell you in detail!"

Her alluring charm made the fake Wei Tuo weak all over, and he unconsciously leaned closer.

Luo Qingyan parted her red lips and breathed sweetly into his ear, "My answer is... I'll bite you to death, you brat!"

Before she finished speaking, although she used her hands and feet, she also used her mouth to bite.

Aiming at his neck, her pearly teeth bit down hard, wanting to vent all the worry, anger, and sorrow she had just suffered.

On the other side, Lu Mingluan also noticed the situation, propped up her weak body, and cooperated with Luo Qingyan to bite the fake Wei Tuo's neck.

Being flanked by these two peerless beauties, one on each side of his neck, should have been a blissful and intoxicating experience. However, those fragrant, cherry-red lips were actually sharp, blood-red maws, as if they wanted to tear this bastard apart alive.

"Stop, stop biting...it's bleeding!"

He had been rapidly increasing his strength, but this had left him exhausted. Although he had just begun dual cultivation, he could barely walk. He couldn't withstand those two pearly teeth. His skin was torn open, blood flowed freely, and he cried out in pain.

Hearing this, Lu Mingluan felt even more aggrieved. He tightened his jaws, and his mouth filled with warm, fishy blood. A bewitching crimson trickled down his snow-white chin. Luo Qingyan, however, hated him for toying with her. She bit him mercilessly, as if she wanted to tear off a piece of flesh.
