First wear the Eagle Shooter set, then wear the Tang Dynasty set (levels 51-60).

"Hehehe, he's right, it's me, your grandpa. So what? You still want to bite me? Come on then!" Yang Liming chuckled, his face full of disdain. He even swayed his hips and gave Xiao Zhao a kiss on the cheek.

The contempt on his face was obvious to anyone. Provocation, blatant provocation.

He had now incurred the wrath of the crowd. Every one of Wanyan Honglie's men was a notorious villain, a powerful figure in the martial arts world whose mere presence could strike fear into the hearts of ordinary people. Now, he was being looked down upon like this. They were all furious, staring intently at Yang Liming, their heads pounding, "Damn it, you didn't bring that steel monster today, what are you so arrogant about? I'll kill you with my eyes!" However, no one dared to make the first move. After all, if he dared to be so confident in the face of such a group of people, he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, they would be fools. But that hateful guy on the other side looked like a pretty spirited young man. "How could he be an idiot?" "I'll hold back. Let the one who can't take it anymore go first. Let's find out his true strength. If he's just putting on airs and doesn't have any real skills, I'll go in immediately and give him a good beating. Let him know that the dignity of a bad person is not to be trampled on." The entire group of bad guys around Wanyan Honglie thought the same thing in unison. Even the near-powerful person at the Great Perfection of Acquired Realm, who dressed similarly to Lingzhi Shangren, thought the same.

But Wanyan Honglie couldn't stand their plan to let someone else probe first. He had finally gotten a chance to get information about Bao Xiruo.

How could he easily let Yang Liming go? He was ruthless towards Yang Liming. "If it weren't for him, how could Xiruo have separated from me and run away with that lowly Yang Tiexin?"

He straightened up and stared coldly at Yang Liming and the other man, saying, "Young man over there, if you're willing to tell me where my beloved concubine and the lover who abducted her are, I'll let you go today. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to... Hmph..."

"Haha..." Yang Liming suddenly threw his head back and laughed, interrupting Wanyan Honglie's words, saying, "Wanyan Honglie, your skin is really thick. How dare you say 'adulterer'? Have you really forgotten what happened eighteen years ago? Bao Xiruo was originally Yang Tiexin's wife. And she already had a son with him. Look! It's that guy next to you now called Wanyan Kang. To sum you up in one sentence, I've seen shamelessness but never anything like it. Your level of shamelessness is comparable to the legendary Koreans. Uh... compared to the Koreans, you're still slightly inferior. But you're already at a god-like level. I admire you." As he spoke, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Wanyan Honglie, as if he really admired him.

Wanyan Honglie was so angry that his face turned pale.

Yang Kang, who was next to him, jumped out at this moment, his eyes blazing with fire, and shouted loudly. "You wretched brat, where did you take my mother? Don't spout nonsense. I am my father's biological son, a prince of the Great Jin Kingdom. Not the son of that lowly commoner. Don't associate me with that commoner." He was most afraid of people bringing up his identity. "

Hmph, I won't talk to a beast who recognizes a thief as his father, takes pride in selling out his country, is a complete idiot." Yang Liming was displeased with Yang Kang. When watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes, although he didn't like him, he didn't hate him too much. After all, you can't completely blame this guy. If it were Yang Liming himself, who always thought he was the son of a high-ranking official, a pampered and high-ranking prince of the Jin people, he probably wouldn't have recognized some inexplicable father who suddenly appeared. After all, on one side was a wealthy official he had considered his father since childhood, and on the other side was a poor, wandering man he had never had any feelings for. "It's understandable. But this Yang Kang in front of him, clearly aware that Yang Tiexin is his father after being warned by his mother, still wants to kill him. This is the behavior of a beast. You can disown him, after all, you've never known he had such a father since you were little. But you can't harm him. He is still your father.

" "Kang'er, don't waste your breath on him. Just know that you are my biological son." At this moment, Wanyan Honglie said to Yang Kang, then turned to Yang Liming and issued a final ultimatum. "Since you are so ungrateful, then don't blame me

for being impolite!" "Do I need your politeness? Spit it out, I'll take it." Yang Liming used to be bullied by powerful figures like the Eastern Heretic and the Western Poison. He was always very depressed. But now, facing these weaker people, shouldn't he be able to balance his wounded heart?

"Gentlemen, please capture this man for me. I will definitely not treat you unfairly." "Having heard the prince's orders, the group of villains exchanged glances. In the end, their desire for wealth and glory easily overwhelmed their apprehension towards Yang Liming.

First, Sha Tongtian roared, "You greenhorn! Don't try to act tough here. You, 'Ghost Gate Dragon King' Grandpa Sha, will be the first to learn your tricks!" "Having said that, he formed palms and struck at Yang Liming. The others, seeing that he had gotten there first, hurriedly tried to go over as well, afraid that he would steal their thunder and lower their status in the prince's eyes. But before they even reached Yang Liming's side, they all retreated in shock. Because the first one to go over, Sha Tongtian, had already exchanged a palm strike with Yang Liming. Moreover, with even greater speed than when he went, he flew back and crashed to the ground several feet away, unable to get up for a moment. Judging from the irregular bending of his hands, it was clear that Sha Tongtian's hand bones were broken. This injury would take at least a year and a half to heal.

Wanyan Honglie and the others were shocked. This man was truly powerful. He had knocked down the arrogant "Ghost Gate Dragon King" with just one palm strike. They knew what kind of skill Sha Tongtian possessed. "One move, just one move." "Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads. Even the lama at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm was the same. He knew he would need at least ten moves to defeat Sha Tongtian. He had just entered this realm, so naturally he was far inferior to Yang Liming. Yang Liming was at the peak of this realm, just one step away from stepping into the Innate Great Dao that martial artists dream of. Their combat power was at least half that of each other. Yang Liming could defeat him in twenty moves at most. Just like Qiu Qianren, a novice at the early stage of the Innate Realm, he couldn't withstand Ouyang Feng, an old bird at the early stage of the Innate Realm, in thirty moves. Didn't you see how Qiu Chuji and the others were instantly killed by Huang Yaoshi?

Seeing that everyone was stunned by Yang Liming's palm strike, Wanyan Honglie quickly said, "Everyone, don't be afraid of him. He's alone. This isn't some martial arts competition, but the capture of an assassin. Gentlemen, if you all rush forward, you can definitely capture him!" The crowd's hearts stirred; they found it reasonable. They all drew their weapons.

Yang Liming waited until they had finished discussing before laughing heartily, "Are you all ready? You should have done this sooner! Stop being so fussy!" "Uh, Xiao Zhao, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a woman, don't misunderstand. Let's find a safe place and watch the show from the sidelines, see how your brother displays his might and deals with these clowns."

Xiao Zhao smiled gently at him and walked to the side, sitting on a stone chair. She looked like she was watching a play. She had absolute confidence in her elder brother and didn't see anything wrong with him displaying his might.

After sending Xiao Zhao away, Yang Liming swung his heavy black iron sword, his aura rising, and his inner force surging out. His long hair moved without wind as he laughed arrogantly, "Haha... You all want to come at me at once, huh? Just what I wanted! Come on, let me show you what true power is! You frogs in a well can see the sky; consider yourselves lucky."

Yang Liming laughed loudly, his domineering aura surging forth. Those opposite him felt as if he stood before them like a colossal tower, forcing them to look up; or like a high and mighty war god, awe-inspiring and unapproachable. This unique aura of a master was a realm they, ordinary fighters, could never even dream of. This was the first time they had faced such a terrifying mental constraint. Overwhelmed by Yang Liming's aura, they almost surrendered without a fight.

Seeing that his aura was gradually wearing down their fighting spirit, Yang Liming thought, "This is no fun at all," and quickly withdrew his outward-facing aura. At that moment, Wanyan Honglie was the first to react, saying, "You are all heroes and overlords of your own regions, renowned figures. What face would we have if we retreated without a fight? We might as well fight him to the death, so that future generations can admire us!"

Wanyan Honglie, born into an imperial family, was accustomed to the mental pressure from those in power. Although Yang Liming's imposing aura momentarily stunned him, he quickly recovered the moment Yang Liming withdrew his aura.

Hearing the prince's words, the others, knowing they worked under him, knew they couldn't let him look down on them. Even if they died today, they couldn't let their prestige be diminished.

"Yes, yes, he's right. Hurry up and attack. How can I be so embarrassed when you're all so scared? Hehehe," Yang Liming said, beckoning to the group of villains opposite him with a disdainful look. He was incredibly arrogant.

In his heart, he shouted, "I've finally got my day! This feels so good! No wonder Huang Yaoshi loves to show off. I've also come to like this sport, which is as enjoyable as sex!"...
Fifty-two Mei Chaofeng? "Kill!" With a shout, Peng Lianhu was the first to attack.

Peng Lianhu, nicknamed "Thousand-Handed Butcher," was renowned for his exceptional palm skills. He also had a close personal relationship with "Ghost Gate Dragon King" Sha Tongtian. Seeing his friend injured, he was deeply resentful. Initially afraid of Yang Liming and hesitant to retaliate, he could no longer restrain himself in this group attack. He unleashed his most proficient palm technique, thrusting it towards Yang Liming's chest. The force of the palm strike caused the surrounding air to hiss and crackle, appearing extremely terrifying. However, Yang Liming found it insignificant.

Almost simultaneously, the others attacked, some swinging palms, some kicking, some brandishing weapons, all assaulting Yang Liming from above, below, and above below. No one dared to underestimate him; they all used their most powerful techniques.

Yang Liming looked contemptuously at the fists, feet, and weapons attacking him. Based on his experience fighting only innate masters, these people, while formidable, were no match for the likes of Ouyang Feng—they were as weak as three-year-old children. He immediately saw the flaws in these people's moves. But he disdained to exploit their weaknesses; instead, he channeled his inner strength and swung his heavy sword, smashing it down on them. It was a pure head-on collision, yet it left them with no way to dodge. "I don't care about your feints or real attacks. I'm just going to smash you with all my might. If you block it, you're good. If you can't, you deserve it."

Several muffled thuds echoed, and the surrounding air pressure suddenly cracked. The villainous group and the combined force of the others collided with Yang Liming. The ground couldn't withstand the force of both sides, cracking open in several places. A shout rang out: "Hou Tonghai!" Peng Lianhu and Liang Ziweng and the others who had struggled to their feet and were attacking Yang Liming were sent flying, weapons and all.

Yang Liming had knocked several of them away. "From not far away, Xiao Zhao shouted anxiously, 'Big brother, be careful!'

Without thinking, he suddenly unleashed a powerful palm strike behind him. He had already noticed that among the people attacking him, the lama who dressed similarly to Lingzhi Shangren was missing.

In that moment of triumph, thinking his sneak attack was about to succeed, Yang Liming suddenly attacked him.

But he was far stronger than Liang Ziweng and the others. His reaction was extremely fast. He raised his hand to block.

'Clap!' 'Pfft!' The first sound was from when Yang Liming and the lama clashed palms, and the second sound was from when the lama spat out blood. Normally, given the lama's true skill, it would have been impossible for Yang Liming to injure him so easily. But the lama hadn't expected Yang Liming to discover him so quickly. He wasn't fully prepared. His power wasn't at its peak. His sneak attack failed, and he was instead attacked by Yang Liming. He

retreated repeatedly, moving further away from Yang Liming. 'Despicable. A sneak attack.'" "The lama, spitting out blood, struggled to speak to Yang Liming.

"Me? Me, despicable?" Hearing the lama's shameless retort, Yang Liming looked at him with a wry smile. Yang Liming truly couldn't understand these guys' thinking. His sneak attack wasn't despicable, but his counter-attack was. He couldn't stand these guys. Birds of a feather flock together. Shameless!

"Hmph, bastard. You dared to sneak attack, you dared to sneak attack. You're the despicable one." Xiao Zhao ran over and started kicking the injured lama repeatedly. Although she was generally gentle, things were different when it came to Yang Liming. This guy had almost ambushed her older brother. Xiao Zhao was furious. She had just broken through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm under Hong Qigong's tutelage and with Yang Liming's elixirs. Beating up a severely injured late-stage Acquired Realm cultivator was definitely within her capabilities.

The poor lama was kicked again by the angry girl, causing him to vomit blood and worsen his internal injuries.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Zhao, if you kick him again, he'll die," Yang Liming said to the lama on the ground, pulling Xiao Zhao away. "What's your relationship with that Lingzhi Master?"

"He's my junior brother. I came here because my junior brother died."

Hearing the lama's words, Yang Liming suddenly understood why they dressed the same.

"Hahaha, Wanyan Honglie, your men seem incompetent," Yang Liming said, but his expression suddenly changed. Seeing Wanyan Honglie's lack of tension and the absence of Yang Kang beside him, he quickly gathered his ears. His ears twitched.

"Let's go!" Yang Liming grabbed Xiao Zhao and used all his lightness skill to quickly leave Wanyan Honglie and his men. "

Brother, with our martial arts, we don't need to be afraid of them at all. Why are we running away?" On the other side of the palace, Xiao Zhao, beside Yang Liming, asked him, puzzled.

"Silly girl, this is the Jin Kingdom's palace, after all. We've been causing trouble here for so long. People have already gone to get reinforcements." "

I just heard at least a thousand footsteps running towards us. If we're surrounded, I'm not afraid, but you'll be in trouble." "

As soon as Yang Liming finished speaking, sure enough, where they had just been, countless guards were shouting and yelling, their cries for the assassins growing louder. The noise was almost deafening.

Yang Liming smiled smugly at Xiao Zhao. Suddenly, Xiao Zhao beside him felt her legs give way, cried out "Ah!" and fell, disappearing from Yang Liming's sight. "Xiao Zhao!" Yang Liming was extremely tense. He shouted and looked down at the ground. There was a hole in the ground. He hadn't noticed it in his relaxed state.

"I'm alright, brother, there's a hole here, it's not very deep." Hearing Xiao Zhao

's cheerful cry, Yang Liming breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Xiao Zhao under his nose, he would have gone mad. Although he liked all the women around him, the one he felt the deepest affection for was Xiao Zhao, who had stayed with him until the end. After all, they had lived and eaten together at the Condor's place for over half a year without ever being separated.

"Ah!" Xiao Zhao's words had barely faded when she let out a scream. "Xiao Zhao!" Yang Liming's heart tightened again. He quickly leaped towards the cave entrance and jumped down.

He descended about two or three meters before reaching solid ground. Just as he regained his footing, a figure ran towards him.

Yang Liming looked and saw it was Xiao Zhao. Her face was deathly pale. She threw herself into his arms.

"Xiao Zhao, are you alright?" Yang Liming pulled her into his arms and looked her over from head to toe. Seeing that she was alright except for being a little pale, he was truly relieved.

"Brother, there are human skulls," Yang Liming said, following her hand. Sure enough, there were several human skulls on the ground. (((Wanderer: Of course, skulls are from dead people.))

"Oh! No wonder the little girl screamed like a ghost, making me so nervous too. So that's what it is. Women are indeed afraid of these things. Even some men are no exception," Yang Liming thought to himself.

Suddenly, a cold, eerie voice came from the left corner: "Who dares to trespass here?" The two never expected anyone to live in this dark underground cave. The voice, though soft, boomed like thunder in their ears. Yang Liming's heart pounded, and Xiao Zhao was terrified. The voice continued in a sinister tone: "Enter my cave, and you'll die. Are you tired of living?" The voice sounded like a woman's. Hearing that the voice wasn't ghostly, their fear lessened slightly.

A thought flashed through Yang Liming's mind: "The bottom of the cave, a woman, the Prince's mansion... Could she be Mei Chaofeng? No way! Logically, because of my appearance, Guo Jing and Huang Rong couldn't reach the Prince's mansion. Mei Chaofeng should have already starved to death because she was paralyzed by qi deviation!"

He turned to look at the left corner...
Chapter 53: It's Sister Mei! A woman slowly stood up. Her eyes were closed, but she was quite pretty. (A beauty, isn't she? Wouldn't Chen Xuanfeng risk being chased by Huang Yaoshi to abduct her and elope with her?) She looked to be around thirty years old. Her figure... well... how to put it... well, she was well-proportioned. But her long, flowing hair was messy, and her face was as white as paper, like a vengeful ghost. It really ruined her beauty.

"My goodness! Her breasts are so big, and her butt is so perky. Damn, such a beautiful woman, and Jin Yong wrote her like that. Is Jin Yong one of those fans? He couldn't have her, so he turned his love into hate. Maybe Jin Yong is really vicious! (Hehe, just kidding, Jin Yong fans, please don't hit me if you see this.) But how can she stand up? Even if she was lucky enough not to starve to death, she should have gone mad and become paralyzed, right? Damn! Everything's a mess. It must be my influence that caused the butterfly effect! It's a pity she's a little older. When she was young, she must have been at the peak of mortal life like Xiao Zhao."

Actually, Yang Liming was right. It was because he rescued Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin that Qiu Chuji didn't appear, and he broke ties with Yang Kang. Yang Kang was afraid that his biological father would go to his master Qiu Chuji to stand up for him and have Qiu Chuji come back to teach him a lesson. On the other hand, he was also afraid that his adoptive father, Wanyan Honglie, would take his anger out on him because of his mother. After much thought, he concluded that Mei Chaofeng, his other master, was the only one who truly cared for him and was worthy of his trust. So, as soon as Yang Liming and Yang Tiexin left, Yang Kang went to find Mei Chaofeng. He had just saved her from starvation and even taught her the Taoist internal energy that Qiu Chuji had taught him, helping her recover from her qi deviation and regain her strength.

"Hmph, you dared to come in without my permission? You're asking for death, don't blame me. I'll use you as practice."

Yang Liming was sizing up this legendary thieving woman. She had already formed claws with her hands, a blue aura swirling around them. She shot towards him at a strange angle, like a ghost. Amidst the whistling wind, Mei Chaofeng's joints cracked as she channeled her energy.

"Big brother! Be careful!" Xiao Zhao cried out.

"Hmph!" The Dragon Regrets. A dragon bell rang. She used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms that Hong Qigong had taught him in his spare time—the most famous move. "Even if you're a beautiful and pitiful woman, you can't just beat me up for no reason!" Mei Chaofeng suddenly felt the air around her thicken instantly

. A powerful pressure from the opposite side tightened around her, preventing her from using her lightness skill to dodge. She mustered all her strength to defend herself. With a snap, energy rippled outwards. The two figures collided once and then immediately separated. Mei Chaofeng had already reached the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm, slightly stronger than the lama injured by Yang Liming, but still a notch or two weaker than Yang Liming. After separating, she retreated repeatedly. This direct collision almost caused her internal injuries. Fortunately, she had a strong foundation and quickly suppressed the churning blood in her chest.

Knowing she had stepped on a hornet's nest, she hurriedly asked, "Sir, such profound skill. Who are you? Why are you making things difficult for this blind old woman?" She did not attack Yang Liming again. Although Mei Chaofeng was a ruthless killer, she was also ungrateful. Since she couldn't beat Yang Liming, there was no need to fight him to the death.

"Why would I make things difficult for you? Please, my dear Sister Mei, you were the one who attacked me first, okay?" Yang Liming was both amused and exasperated by the woman's words.

"Yes, elder sister. You hit my elder brother first. How can you say my elder brother is making things difficult for you?" Xiao Zhao also earnestly corrected Mei Chaofeng's mistake.

"How do you know my surname is Mei? Who exactly are you?" Mei Chaofeng's face tightened, and her voice turned cold. Back when she roamed the martial world, she had made quite a few enemies. If this person was coming to deal with her, she would fight to the death. She, Mei Chaofeng, had never been afraid of anyone in her life. (Except for Huang Yaoshi.)

"Oops, I misspoke." When Yang Liming watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he and his classmates always called Mei Chaofeng "Sister Mei." Now that he had met her in person, he had unconsciously called her that.

"Hehe, I'm a deity, I can calculate, so I know your surname is Mei." Hearing Yang Liming's words... Xiao Zhao was on the verge of fainting, let alone Mei Chaofeng, who looked ready to pounce and fight him to the death.

Yang Liming knew that if he didn't give this ruthless Mei sister an explanation soon, they might really start fighting again. He wasn't afraid of her, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting her. Huang Yaoshi would stand up for her and teach him a lesson if he found out he had bullied his blind disciple. Offending Mei Chaofeng was offending the extremely protective Huang Yaoshi, who was his future father-in-law. He couldn't refuse to give Rong'er face.

A thought flashed through his mind: Mei Chaofeng didn't respect anyone except Huang Yaoshi. Why not borrow Huang Yaoshi's name and see how she reacted? It would be very interesting. Hehe... Anyway, Rong'er was determined to marry no one but him. Calling Huang Yaoshi her father-in-law wouldn't be a loss for me.

His expression immediately turned serious. "Mei Ruohua, you really know how to hide. My father-in-law has been searching for you for a long time!"

"Mei Ruohua" was Mei Chaofeng's real name before he became an apprentice. No one in the martial arts world knew it except the people of Peach Blossom Island. Mei Chaofeng hadn't heard these three words called out to her for decades. Suddenly, someone uttered them, and she was utterly shocked. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Who are you? How do you know my real name?"

Yang Liming recalled a line from the original story and said loudly, "Peach blossoms fall, the divine sword flies; the blue sea rises, the jade flute plays! Do you still remember Peach Blossom Island? My wife's surname is Huang." Mei Chaofeng was even more astonished, stammering, "You...you...you..." Yang Liming continued, "What about you? Do you still remember the Finger-Flicking Peak, the Clear Sound Cave, the Green Bamboo Forest, and the Sword-Testing Pavilion on Peach Blossom Island in the East Sea?"

These were places Mei Chaofeng frequented when she was learning her skills. Hearing them now felt like a distant memory. Her voice trembled as she asked, "The Master...Master...oh, no, Master Huang...Master Huang, is...is...who is he to you?" She wanted to call him Master Huang Yaoshi but dared not. Yang Liming said, "Hehehe! Senior Sister, you haven't forgotten my father-in-law, have you? And he hasn't forgotten you either. He's come to see you in person!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Chaofeng was terrified, her teeth chattering, her body trembling. She didn't know what to do. Then she suddenly remembered, "Master swore never to leave Peach Blossom Island, how could he come here? It's because of this that the thief and I stole his 'Nine Yin Manual,' and he could only be angry and unable to leave the island to chase us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be alive. I mustn't be fooled."

Yang Liming knew she was suspicious. He leaped more than ten feet into the air with his left foot, spun twice in mid-air in the tunnel, and swung his palm in mid-air, striking Mei Chaofeng's head in the direction she had just spoken. It was a move from the "Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm," "Jiangcheng Flying Flowers," which Huang Rong had taught him when she was alive. With his current martial arts skills, he could use it with ease. He shouted, "My father-in-law should have taught you this move, you haven't forgotten it, have you?" Mei Chaofeng heard the sound of the wind as he turned in the air, and she no longer had any doubts.

Mei Chaofeng, recalling Huang Yaoshi's ruthless nature and cruel methods, turned ashen-faced. Had her master already arrived? Her whole body trembled, cold sweat pouring down her back. She seemed to see Huang Yaoshi standing before her, his face grim. Her body went limp, as if she had lost all her martial arts skills. She collapsed onto the earthen bed, her voice trembling, "Master, Master, I deserve to die a thousand deaths! I only beg you to have pity on me, that I am blind and crippled, and grant me leniency. I have failed you, I am truly worse than a pig or a dog."

But then she remembered the immense kindness Huang Yaoshi had shown her in the past, and suddenly her fear transformed into deep shame. She said, "No, Master, you don't need to be lenient. The more severe the punishment, the better."

Yang Liming, seeing how frightened she was, felt a pang of regret and guilt. It was truly wrong of him to joke about such a pitiful woman. Although this woman had many despicable aspects.

He said, "Uh, Sister Mei, you don't need to bow. My father-in-law didn't come at all. He just said he wanted to see you."

Upon hearing this, Mei Chaofeng felt a sense of relief and slumped to the ground.

"Junior Brother, how is Master?"

"I'm not quite sure how he is now. But when I saw him last time, he seemed lively and energetic. I suppose he's not doing too badly now."

"That's good, that's good. As long as he's well, that's all that matters." Mei Chaofeng said repeatedly. Although she was extremely afraid of Huang Yaoshi and never wanted to see him again, she still revered him like a god.

"Alright, Sister Mei, if you have nothing else to do, we'll leave first. Do you want to come with us? Don't stay in the Prince's mansion; it's too chaotic here." Yang Liming knew that Yang Kang was only thinking of using her. He might betray her one day. He warned her.

"Thank you, junior brother. You should go now. I have some business to attend to tomorrow, and I'll personally go to see Master to apologize." Mei Chaofeng smiled at Yang Liming. Although she was ruthless to others, she was quite kind to her own people.

"Alright, then take care, Sister Mei. I'll have my good wife put in a good word for you with my father-in-law." With that, he grabbed Xiao Zhao's hand and left.

He knew that what Mei Chaofeng was going to do was take revenge on Lu Chengfeng and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. He definitely wanted to join in the excitement at Lu Family Village. Since she said she was going tomorrow, he would come back tomorrow and follow her. His main task tonight was to get rid of the precious medicinal snake on his back that could increase his power and make him immune to other poisonous snakes. If he could reach the Innate Realm, that would be even better. Then, all those Eastern Heretic and Western Poison would have to step aside...
The two returned to the very spacious and magnificent mansion that Yang Liming had bought. This mansion was bought with gold; after all, he had plenty of money now. Unlike in modern times, there's no need to worry about spending too much money and getting arrested for "unexplained wealth."

"Big brother, is this what I stole? It's just a bit big, nothing special!" Xiao Zhao, pale-faced, pointed to the large, bowl-sized medicinal snake in the bamboo basket on the table.

"Hehehe, you ignorant little girl, this is a rare treasure! The Ginseng Immortal Old Monster collected hundreds of precious medicinal herbs and went through countless hardships to capture a highly venomous viper in the deep mountains and forests, raising it for twenty years. If we suck its blood and meditate, we can improve our appearance, prolong our lives, and greatly increase our power. Moreover, its meat is definitely very nourishing.

" "We want to eat it!" Xiao Zhao's face turned even paler. "Yes."

"Ugh," hearing Yang Liming's definite answer, Xiao Zhao immediately ran outside and started retching. Her face contorted with grief, she said, "I'd rather die than eat it!"

“Xiao Zhao, listen to me. After we eat it, we won’t be afraid of Ouyang Feng’s snake formation anymore, and it will even greatly increase our power and improve our appearance and lifespan.” No matter how Yang Liming tried to persuade her, the usually obedient little girl refused this time. In the end, she said something that moved Yang Liming to tears: “Big brother, if we really encounter a snake formation, I would rather shrink into your arms than let the poisonous snakes be afraid of me.” Helpless

, Yang Liming had no choice but to eat it himself. Girls are afraid of these things, let alone letting them eat them. Anyway, Yang Liming planned to let Xiao Zhao return to the Ancient Tomb first. He shouldn’t encounter Ouyang Feng again. After all, he would be going to Peach Blossom Island to propose marriage soon. He couldn’t bring another wife with him, could he? Otherwise, forget about getting Huang Yaoshi to marry Huang Rong to him. He would be lucky if he didn’t get chopped up.

He stroked Xiao Zhao’s hair and said to her: “Little girl, go and get a few big bowls for your big brother.” Although Xiao Zhao didn't know what her elder brother wanted the large bowls for, she obediently went out of the room.

A moment later, Xiao Zhao returned carrying several large porcelain bowls. Yang Liming didn't waste any words, arranging the bowls one by one, then flicked the lid of the bamboo basket on the table. As soon as the lid opened, a large

, crimson viper suddenly darted out. Yang Liming used the Ancient Tomb Sect's Heavenly Net Palm technique, swiftly seizing the viper's vital point. He channeled his inner energy to his thumb, and with a single stroke, blood gushed from the snake's neck, filling four large bowls before gradually stopping. The snake had been drained of its blood. It struggled for a moment, then gradually fell silent.

After draining the snake's blood, Yang Liming punched it hard in its seven-inch mark before tossing it back into the bamboo basket.

Xiao Zhao frowned slightly; how could she drink this bloody, gory blood? Looking at the snake blood on the table, Yang Liming grabbed a bowl without a word and gulped it down. He had originally intended to save the other bowls, but then he thought that it would be a waste if the snake blood expired. Moreover, Yang Liming was also worried that the medicinal power wouldn't be enough to prevent him from breaking through to the early stage of the Innate Realm. Gritting his teeth, he downed the other three bowls.

"So full, so full!" Yang Liming rubbed his stomach and quickly sat down. He focused his mind and began circulating his internal energy.

He could already feel the warmth in his stomach.

Yang Liming sat quietly cross-legged on the bed, continuously circulating his Innate Nine Yin Manual. Driven by the golden energy of the snake blood, his internal energy grew stronger with each passing moment. After completing a full cycle, Yang Liming guided this vast true energy into his dantian.

However, the medicinal effects of the snake blood had only just begun to take hold. A thought struck Yang Liming, and he began to mobilize his enhanced dantian internal energy to attack the Du meridian, which had remained unmoved for so long. It forcefully passed through the already opened Ren meridian and then repeatedly struck the Du meridian, causing Yang Liming excruciating pain. Finally, as he was sweating profusely, and the energy and internal energy formed by the snake blood were almost depleted, just as he was about to give up,

*Boom!* The barrier was broken, the Du meridian was opened, and his internal energy surged simultaneously with the opening of the Ren and Du meridians… Connected into one. Endless and ever-flowing. At the peak of his spirit, his essence and energy perfectly merged. Yang Liming felt light and refreshed, his inner strength flowing like a vast river, ceaselessly coursing through his meridians. He was overjoyed, realizing he had finally overcome that great hurdle.

He immediately took the opportunity to cultivate again, to solidify his newly attained Innate Dao.

Xiao Zhao, who was beside him, was initially worried seeing her brother in pain. But soon, seeing his aura surge and then slowly recede, she knew he had succeeded. Her face lit up with joy. If she weren't afraid of disturbing him, she probably would have jumped up and shouted "Long live!"

An hour later, Yang Liming slowly opened his eyes. When he opened them, it seemed as if a thousand rays of light shot out from them. However, the light in his eyes quickly subsided, becoming indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.

"Ah!!" He couldn't help but let out a long, excited roar, his inner strength surging and continuous, his magnificent aura overwhelming. The wooden door couldn't withstand the impact and cracked with a snap, shattering into countless pieces. As he exhaled, Yang Liming immediately felt much lighter. His body trembled slightly, and a wave of pressure suddenly swept out from his body... If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure that Yang Liming had unintentionally released. They would definitely vomit blood and be injured. But Xiao Zhao beside him was, after all, a late-stage acquired expert.

So she only felt a tightness in her chest. Then she skipped over and hugged Yang Liming's arm, seemingly even happier than Yang Liming himself. "I've finally broken through to the innate realm, Xiao Zhao, did you see that?" Yang Liming picked up Xiao Zhao and spun her around.

Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll go make some food now and celebrate properly with my brother." With that, she grabbed the bamboo basket on the table and headed to make snake soup. In her excitement, the good girl had even temporarily forgotten her fear of snakes.

After Yang Liming had devoured a large meal of snake meat, he rubbed his bloated stomach,

raised an eyebrow, and grinned lewdly at Xiao Zhao, saying, "Just eating to celebrate isn't enough. Your brother wants something else to celebrate. How about it?" Seeing his expression, Xiao Zhao

's face flushed crimson. She was completely unrecognizable as the one who had initially taken the initiative to be with Yang Liming.

Before she could even utter a word, her delicate, thin lips were completely enveloped by Yang Liming's thick lips. Like an electric shock, Xiao Zhao's body trembled. Although it wasn't the first time with her older brother, her reaction was always similar whenever he treated her like this. She felt something smooth forcefully part her lips. After a few seconds of resistance, her teeth finally gave up, and that smooth, snake-like thing slipped into her mouth, brazenly teasing her tongue.

"Ah!" A soft moan escaped Xiao Zhao's lips as their lips parted. Xiao Zhao's face was flushed, and she felt something hard pressing against her protruding belly. She immediately realized what it was, and her face turned even redder

. "Little Zhao, wearing clothes is too uncomfortable, let me help you take them off." Quickly, their clothes flew off, leaving them completely naked.

Two beautifully curved, firm breasts burst forth, their two rosy nipples alluring. Yang Liming, his mouth watering, reached out and grasped those two captivating, large breasts. Xiao Zhao let out a soft moan and collapsed weakly onto the bed, her body twitching slightly. Yang Liming continued his passionate kisses, skillfully kneading her breasts. He lovingly caressed every inch of the girl's body, and

Xiao Zhao softly cried out as drops of her own fluids gushed forth in response to his teasing. Seeing that the time was right, Yang Liming thrust his wild, powerful member deep into Xiao Zhao's tightest, most intimate place

. Xiao Zhao let out a groan and gripped Yang Liming's shoulders tightly. Yang Liming moved vigorously inside her, unleashing wave after wave of savage thrusts…

The two continued until dawn. Only when Xiao Zhao could no longer bear it did he release the girl. Holding the sleeping girl in his arms,

he thought smugly, "Hehe, does entering the Innate Stage also enhance that aspect of me? Alright, sleep for a while, I'm going to see Sister Zongmei later."...
With Yang Liming's current Innate Stage cultivation, his rest time was naturally much less than that of ordinary people. He had only slept for less than two hours, yet his energy and spirit had completely recovered to their peak.

He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhao in his arms. Seeing that she was still fast asleep, he felt a little guilty; he had really worn this girl out.

He carefully moved Xiao Zhao's body, covered her with the blanket, and kissed her little face. He sighed. "Girl! Girl, your brother has to be separated from you for a while. We'll meet again when I bring Rong'er back to the Ancient Tomb."

He took out a pen and ink, wrote a letter, and placed it by his pillow. He then took out the Quanzhen Sect leader's token from his pocket and placed it on the letter. He was afraid that those old fogies like Qiu Chuji would make things difficult for her, so it was best to let the

little girl wear the sect leader's token. Seeing the token was equivalent to seeing the sect leader himself. After doing all this, Yang Liming reluctantly touched the sleeping little girl, gritted his teeth, put on his clothes, and went out.

Unbeknownst to Yang Liming, Xiao Zhao woke up as soon as he left. Seeing the letter and token beside her pillow, tears streamed down her face. Although she was obedient to Yang Liming, she was also a clever girl. She knew that her brother would soon be going to Peach Blossom Island to propose marriage and couldn't take her with him forever. But now that her brother was really leaving, she felt a pang of reluctance.

She sighed softly, picked up the letter and token, stroked them a few times, and gently said, "Brother, if Xiao Zhao insists on coming with you, I don't think you'll refuse. But how can Xiao Zhao cause you trouble? If Island Master Huang sees you taking Xiao Zhao to propose to his daughter, he'll probably be furious." "

As soon as Yang Liming stepped out, he went straight to the Prince's Mansion. He easily floated into the mansion as if it were empty. He waited at the entrance of the cave from last night for Sister Mei to come out. Since she said she was going to take revenge today, she shouldn't be wrong.

But Yang Liming waited for more than two hours and still didn't see the stunning Sister Mei come out. "Uh, was she lying to me yesterday? Or has she already left?"

"Dad, whether she's left or not, you can just go in and see. You're a master of the Innate Stage, okay? Are you afraid she'll find out? Besides, you don't necessarily have to follow her to Guiyun Manor." ("You bastard, you finally let me say something." Xiaobai was furious, someone had forgotten about it.)

"What do you mean you're so sensible, kid? Your dad is stalking, and stalking the murderous witch Sister Mei Chaofeng. Don't you think that's cool?" "Though that's true, Yang Liming knew he'd done something foolish. This kid had completely forgotten he was already a master among masters. He'd waited here like an idiot for ages.

Like a leaf, he drifted into the cave, his Asura Demon Eye scanning the area, revealing the entire dark cave. Sure enough, he hadn't found Sister Mei. It seemed his role as a secret agent was over. He'd have to go to Guiyun Manor himself.

Leaving the palace, he asked around for directions to Taihu Lake. Using his lightness skill, he sped off like lightning. Having entered the Innate Realm, Yang Liming felt an unprecedented sense of ease running. Looking at the rapidly receding scenery, he exclaimed inwardly, 'My goodness! Am I running faster than a modern sports car now?'" Passersby

only felt a gust of wind, and a blurry figure flashed by and disappeared before their eyes. Everyone thought they had imagined it. What? What if he bumped into someone? If Yang Liming, who had entered the Innate Realm, could still accidentally bump into passersby, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

Although he didn't know the exact location, according to the book, Huang Rong and Guo Jing traveled south, then east to the shore of Taihu Lake, where they met Lu Chengfeng while boating on the lake, and then entered Guiyun Manor. Based on this, it can be inferred that Guiyun Manor should be not far northeast of Taihu Lake.

Although Lin'an is only about 50 kilometers from south to north, covering an area of about 3,000 square kilometers, the ancient roads were very difficult to travel, with many towering mountains and steep ridges. Moreover, although it was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and its prosperity goes without saying, the outskirts were still sparsely populated, so it was not surprising that he got lost.

Yang Liming traveled south, asking people for directions, and it actually took him a whole day to reach Taihu Lake.

"No one knows the relationship between heaven and earth and the lake and sea, or the relationship between the lake and sea and heaven and earth." "This is Jin Lao's praise for Taihu Lake, which shows how vast and beautiful it is.

Guiyun Manor is also very famous in this area. Without much inquiry, Yang Liming found out the exact location of Guiyun Manor."

Having just arrived at the lake, Yang Liming planned to hire a boatman at great expense to take him to Guiyun Manor on the other side. However, he found the area crowded with people, all shouting and exclaiming. "Wow! Amazing! Is he even human? That iron vat he's carrying is huge! It must weigh at least several thousand pounds!" exclaimed Passerby A. "Ha, you're ignorant. This is a martial arts master," replied Passerby B. "Master?" Yang Liming couldn't help but feel curious. He knew that in the current world of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, there were only a handful of people who could be considered masters in his eyes.

Glancing around, Yang Liming saw a figure in the distance on the lakeshore, carrying a huge vat on his head, looking extremely strange. With Yang Liming's keen eyesight

, he easily recognized it as an old man with a white beard, wearing a yellow linen short shirt, waving a large palm-leaf fan in his right hand, walking lightly and quickly towards the lake. The vat was clearly made of cast iron, enormous, and looked to weigh at least a thousand pounds. But the old man held it with one hand as if it were nothing. With a slight sway, some water suddenly spilled from the vat. It turned out that if the vat were full of water, it would weigh nearly a hundred pounds more.

The old man arrived at the lakeside and looked around. The audience all wondered, "There's no bridge here. Is he going east or west?"

Only Yang Liming knew the old man; he would definitely "float" across the lake, holding the large vat in his hands. He had laughed uncontrollably at the old man's appearance earlier; this comical yet fierce attire was probably unmatched in the entire Legend of the Condor Heroes world, except perhaps by Qiu the Great Conman.

"Hahahaha!" Yang Liming laughed heartily, leaping forward and arriving behind Qiu the Great Conman in a few strides. A careful glance at the vat revealed that it had a shallow draft; at most, it contained thirty pounds of water. He muttered to himself, "What a big liar!"

"He cupped his fists and said, 'I am a newcomer to the martial arts world, known as the Jade-Faced White Dragon. Today, seeing such a heroic senior, could you be the great hero Qiu, also known as the Iron-Palm Water-

Walking Master?'" "Eh! How did you, little brat, know of me? I haven't been in the martial arts world for over twenty years." Old Qiu stroked his beard upon recognizing him, raised his head, and spoke with an air of otherworldly grace.

"Indeed, it is Old Qiu. I learned of your prowess from my master, Master Ma Yu of the Quanzhen Sect. My master once said that your lightness skill on water is unparalleled in the martial arts world. Today, I am fortunate to witness it; you must show me!"

Seeing Yang Liming's fervent expression, Qiu Qianzhang was secretly pleased. Another fan of my brother. I'll fool you to death today.

"So you are that little brat Ma Yu's disciple. Alright, today I'll let you, a junior, witness it." "

You're just relying on your age; you'll be crying later." Yang Liming watched Qiu the big liar walk to the lakeside. A flash of red light appeared in his eyes, and in an instant, his Asura Demon Eyes clearly saw every wooden stake in the lake.

Qiu the big liar leaped and landed right on one of the stakes in the lake, the water only reaching his calves. From a distance, it seemed as if he was floating on the water. Except for Yang Liming, who knew he was lying, everyone on the shore exclaimed in surprise. Seeing him walk step by step towards the opposite bank, Yang Liming's lips twitched. "Damn, this guy's bluffing is too much! Walking freely on the lake with such a huge vat on his head—let alone the early stage of the Innate Realm, even the late stage of the Innate Realm, or even the Celestial Realm, couldn't do that without special techniques. There should be a limit to lying, right?" Yang Liming was quite suspicious. Had the old man spent the entire night setting up wooden stakes in the lake to demonstrate his water-walking skills today? He was sweating bullets!

Seeing the old man smugly approaching the other side, Yang Liming chuckled evilly, picked up a small pebble, and with a "whoosh," shot it from his hand, hitting Qiu Da Huyou's heel in the distance.

"Ouch!" came a scream. With a 'whoosh,' Qiu Da Huyou vanished from the water, leaving only a large water vat floating precariously...

Chapter Fifty-Six: Goodbye Huang Rong.
"Ouch!" A scream rang out. With a whoosh, the conman vanished from the water, leaving only a large water vat floating precariously.

People on both sides of the riverbank scattered glasses, their mouths agape. Just moments ago, a long-bearded, otherworldly old man, carrying a large vat, exuded the air of a reclusive master, seemingly walking on water like a god. Now, he had suddenly disappeared.

Especially two of the three teenagers on the other side of the lake, seeing Old Man Qiu approaching, were about to say, "Senior, your divine skills are unparalleled and will last forever; we admire you to the utmost." But then they saw the old man, with his unparalleled skills, had already entered the lake to feed the fish.

A while passed, and there was no movement on the surface. "That old man didn't drown, did he? That wouldn't be fun." Yang Liming thought to himself, and with a leap, he landed on the wooden stakes submerged in the lake, and in a few large strides, he instantly floated to the other side of the lake.

"Oh!" Another gasp of amazement. First, the venerable old man was one thing, but this young man was also incredibly powerful.

Yang Liming had just landed on the opposite bank when three young men approached him. Upon closer inspection, Yang Liming couldn't take his eyes off them. He trembled with excitement. One of the young men was Guo Jing. Of course, Guo Jing was Guo Jing, and Yang Liming wouldn't be so excited to see his adopted second brother. It was the other young man beside Guo Jing who was strikingly handsome, with rosy lips, white teeth, and delicate features. He was almost too handsome for a man. He was small and thin. Don't misunderstand, Yang Liming wasn't gay. It was that handsome young man…

Guo Jing's eyes lit up when he saw his elder brother, "Brother, it's you!" She opened her arms, ready to give Yang Liming a bear hug.

The eldest brother seemed equally excited, running towards his younger brother... and instantly passing by him. Leaving Guo Jing standing there awkwardly, arms outstretched, still in a hugging position.

Yang Liming didn't care who Guo Jing was anymore. He couldn't see anyone but the handsome young man. He pulled her into his arms. "Brother Ming, is it really you?" Tears welled in her eyes, her voice trembling. "Rong'er, how did you get here? I'm so happy, so happy!" Yang Liming was almost incoherent.

"You big bad guy, it's because I missed you. I secretly ran away from Father again." "So this handsome young man is none other than Huang Rong, disguised as a man.

After Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi returned to Peach Blossom Island, they waited day after day, utterly bored. She barely had anyone to talk to on Peach Blossom Island. It was fine before, but now that she had tasted the good things of the outside world, and was still attached to that beast Yang Liming, how could she bear it? So, not long ago, she slipped away again while her father wasn't looking. This morning, passing by Guiyun Manor, she overheard something about a skull with five holes in its head! Thinking of her senior sister Mei Chaofeng, who was wanted by her father, she decided to stay at Guiyun Manor as a guest. Unexpectedly, staying here led her to meet Brother Ming. It's true what they say, when fate comes, you can't stop it. As for why Guo Jing is here, that guy always wanders around, it's not surprising where he is.

" "Uh!" "Brother, you and Brother Huang… this…" Guo Jing and the other boy beside him saw Yang Liming and Huang Rong, dressed as a man, embracing. A chill ran down their spines. Guo Jing thought to himself, "Luckily, I'm not very good-looking, so Brother shouldn't be interested in me. Is this what my masters told me about homosexuality? I've finally learned something new today."

Hearing Guo Jing's voice, Yang Liming realized this wasn't the place to be intimate with Huang Rong. Turning his head and seeing their expressions, and then looking at Rong'er's attire, he knew what they were thinking. He quickly explained,

"Uh… Second Brother and this brother, Rong'er and I are actually…"

"Oh! We understand," the man and Guo Jing nodded in unison before he could finish speaking. Their expressions made Yang Liming want to slap them to death. "I'm not gay,"

Huang Rong retorted, more outspoken. Seeing Yang Liming's expression, she chuckled and stepped forward. "Haven't you ever seen a man like another man?" Her voice was clear and melodious, no longer deliberately lowered as usual, revealing her feminine side.

The man, unlike Guo Jing, was quick-witted. Seeing Huang Rong's expression, he suddenly realized something.

"Oh no, we forgot about that old senior! He's been gone for so long and hasn't come up from the lake yet. Could it be that he can't swim? I'll go down and check. In any case, judging from his appearance, he seems to be a guest at our Guiyun Manor." At this moment, the man, now sober from his homosexual tendencies, said.

Yang Liming watched as the man he had identified as Lu Guanying began to undress, preparing to jump into the water to rescue him. He thought to himself, "No way, could Xi Qianzhang really not be a swimmer and just drowned like that? Theoretically impossible! He's the number one conman in The Legend of the Condor Heroes! If he were on the Spring Festival Gala, even Zhao Benshan would be out of a job!"

Just then, a loud splash was heard, and Xi Qianzhang had leaped onto the dock. "Wow!" A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Xi Qianzhang, who had been in the lake for some time, walked towards them, looking refreshed and without the slightest sign of shortness of breath.

"Haha, my internal energy has long since reached the point of oneness with nature, and I've already mastered internal breathing. Normally, I can stay underwater for seven days and seven nights during practice. I just deliberately fell into the lake to show you all my divine skills." "Qiu Qianzhang said with boundless pride.

Hearing his words, Yang Liming felt an urge to faint. It turned out that this old man had deliberately stayed in the lake for half a day just to cover up his inexplicable fall into the lake and almost leaking. 'Oneness with Heaven and Man'? This shamelessness, this shamelessness... speechless..."

"Senior is truly a divine being," Lu Guanying and Guo Jing said with admiration, bowing their hands. Although Yang Liming seemed quite capable, his appearance was far inferior to that of this venerable old man. Hearing his words, the slight doubt in their hearts vanished. They regretted that they shouldn't have disrespected such a master.

"My father received a strange gift today. Does Senior know about this?" Lu Guanying asked without warning. The swindler asked, "What strange gift?" Lu Guanying replied, "It's a dead man's skull with five holes in the top." The old man said, "That's strange. Is someone

playing ?" Lu Guanying thought to himself, "This man's martial arts are unfathomable. Why don't I invite him to the manor? With him and that seemingly equally unfathomable elder brother of Guo Jing, what enemy does Guiyun Manor have to fear?" Thinking this, he smiled broadly at Yang Liming and the swindler Qiu, saying, "If you and this brother don't mind, how about we come to our manor for tea?" His voice was tense, afraid that Yang Liming and the swindler Qiu would refuse.

Yang Liming didn't care; he was just here to watch the show, and Huang Rong seemed quite interested in Guiyun Manor's enemy. Naturally, he readily agreed. The old man Qiu hesitated for a moment, then pretended to say, "That's fine." Lu Guanying was overjoyed and respectfully invited the two of them to go first.

As Qiu the Great Conman passed by Yang Liming and the others, he pointed and said, "These three young men are also from your manor, aren't they?" Lu Guanying replied, "These three are my friends." The swindler ignored them and strode away, with Guo Jing and Lu Jing following behind. Yang Liming, who had greeted Guo Jing, held Huang Rong's hand and followed at the back, chattering about what had happened since they parted. Of course, Yang Liming couldn't possibly tell Huang Rong about Xiao Zhao and the fairy-like Lin Yu. After all, when she left with Huang Yaoshi last time, she seemed to have shown jealousy towards the young Li Mochou. If she knew he had two more women, who knew if she would cause trouble for him? It was better to make it a fait accompli first. Upon arriving at Guiyun Manor, Lu Guanying invited the swindler and Yang Liming to sit in the front hall and rushed inside to inform his father. Not long after, a rather handsome middle-aged man sat on a bamboo couch and was carried out by two servants. After

Lu Chengfeng greeted Yang Liming and the others, he bowed to the swindler and said, "I was unaware of your arrival, esteemed sir, and have failed to greet you properly. My apologies. May I ask who you are, senior?" "...

Seeing that Lu Chengfeng only warmly greeted Qiu the Great Conman and paid little attention to him, a junior, Yang Liming didn't mind and deliberately interjected, "Master Lu, this senior is none other than Qiu Qianren, the 'Iron Palm Water-Walking' gang leader, known in the martial arts world."

Under Qiu the Great Conman's smug gaze, Lu Chengfeng gasped. The name "Iron Palm Water-Walking" had been legendary in the martial arts world for twenty years. Although Lu Chengfeng had never witnessed Qiu Qianren's martial arts, he admired his reputation and knew that he was almost on par with the Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, and Central Divine.

Knowing his identity, Lu Chengfeng became even more respectful. He asked, "Senior Qiu, what brings you to my humble abode? If there is anything I can do to help, I will be happy to assist you."

After chatting for a while, Lu Chengfeng told Qiu the Great Conman to go to the guest room to rest. He then went to instruct the servants to prepare wine and food.

Huang Rong tugged at Yang Liming's hand and winked at him. She quietly slipped out. Yang Liming knew what mischief this girl was
up to now. He followed her back to the lakeside where they had come from. The large vat that Qiu the conman had used was still there.

Rong'er touched the vat, then lifted it with one hand and kicked it hard, smashing the seemingly imposing iron vat into pieces with a loud clang. She said, "Brother Ming, did you know all along that old man Qiu was a swindler?"

"Hehe, Rong'er, how did you know?" Yang Liming asked, somewhat puzzled. He remembered that in the original story, Huang Rong had been deceived by that same conman at the very beginning.

“Silly brother, Rong’er isn’t stupid. Even my father couldn’t possibly walk on water while carrying such a huge iron vat. If it was just that old man Qiu who did it, I would be a little surprised, but not too suspicious. After all, the world is so big, and although I haven’t seen anyone with higher martial arts skills than my father, it doesn’t mean there aren’t any. But what happened afterward made me doubt it. Even you, brother, can walk on the lake. That’s too exaggerated! You and Rong’er have only been separated for half a year. Even if you’ve improved quickly, it’s impossible for you to surpass my father in just half a year.” Rong’er tapped Yang Liming’s head with her little hand. She looked extremely proud.

“Yes, yes, my Rong’er is the smartest.” Yang Liming picked up Huang Rong and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Suddenly, Huang Rong raised her little head in Yang Liming’s arms and asked worriedly, “Brother Ming, do you not like smart girls? Father said that most men don’t like their women to be smarter than them.”

“How could that be? The smarter Rong’er is, the happier I am.” Yang Liming knew what Huang Rong was thinking. Huang Rong's behavior with him was quite different from her behavior with Guo Jing in the original story. Compared to the female strategist in the original, this Rong'er by his side was more like a girl next door. It wasn't that she became stupid by following Yang Liming, but rather that Yang Liming didn't require her to rack her brains for him like she did with Guo Jing in the original story. After all, although Yang Liming wasn't particularly clever, he could still proudly say that his IQ was many levels higher than Guo Jing's.

A smart woman knows to hide her brilliance and not steal the limelight from her lover.

"Tell me, how did you float on the water?" Relieved by her brother's answer, Rong'er asked again.

"Hehe, you sometimes get so confused, don't you? Go to the water's edge and look carefully, make sure you concentrate your inner energy in your eyes." Yang Liming tapped Huang Rong's little nose and said amusedly.

"Haha, driving wooden stakes into the lake, what an idea that old man came up with! And he even put in so much effort. Brother Ming, did he spend the whole night working on these stakes?" Rong'er pulled Yang Liming to the lakeside for a look. She laughed.

"Of course! He's the world's greatest magician, after all. He needs real skill and perseverance to do that," Yang Liming replied.

To be honest, Yang Liming really admired Qiu Qianzhang's shrewdness. With his meager early-stage acquired skill, he wouldn't even qualify as a third-rate expert in the martial arts world. Yet, he managed to fool countless masters far stronger than him. Even in the original story, he managed to deceive Ouyang Feng, a master of innate talent.

"What's a magician?" Huang Rong asked, tilting her head in confusion. Seeing her adorable expression, Yang Liming explained what a magician was.

The two chatted sweetly until evening. Just then, a servant from Guiyun Manor came to invite the two to a banquet.

Inside the manor's main hall, the banquet was already prepared, and everyone took their seats according to their roles as host and guest. Yang Liming and Huang Rong naturally sat together. Just as the banquet was about to begin, someone came to report: "Master, there are six strange men causing trouble outside." "Six people? Did Mei Chaofeng bring reinforcements?" Lu Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise. Seeing Lu Chengfeng's expression, Yang Liming knew what he was worried about. He said to him, "Master Lu, don't worry. I think the person coming might be your enemy. Now that Senior Qiu Qianren is here, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Yes, yes. The little boy is right. With me here, no matter if they are a thousand troops or the Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, or Northern Beggar, my Iron Palm will send them flying to the ends of the earth." Xi Qianzhang, after being praised by Yang Liming, instantly forgot his own name and proudly boasted while stroking his beard.

Seeing that he seemed to disregard her father, Huang Rong's face turned angry. She was about to expose this shameless old liar

when Yang Liming pulled her little hand and she realized that her brother was going to watch the show. She thought angrily, "Old liar, wait and see how I deal with you later.

" Although Huang Rong planned to settle accounts with him later, she still asked with a smile, "Since you are so powerful, why don't you go find them, defeat them one by one, and become the number one in the world?" "

Little girl, what do you know? If I hadn't had family matters to attend to during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, Wang Chongyang would never have been the number one martial artist."

Hearing Qiu the Liar's words, Huang Rong snorted coldly. "Then why don't you go now?"

"I'm not going to look for them now; they're just lucky. Wang Chongyang is long dead; why should I bother with him? The Northern Beggar? He's always running around; even if I looked, I couldn't find him. The Southern Emperor has become a monk; this great hero won't stoop to his level. The Western Poison is far beyond the Great Wall; I don't have the time to go there specifically to find him. The Eastern Heretic is even more out of the question; he's always holed up in his shell on Peach Blossom Island. I don't know any of the Qimen Dunjia; how could I possibly get into Peach Blossom Island? Let's wait until he comes out of his shell." The implication was that, in terms of martial arts, none of the Five Greats were worthy of his attention.

"Hmph, what a boastful tone! I wonder which expert you are?" "Let us, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, see what they're made of." Five men and one woman strode in

through the door. It was indeed the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan. Ke Zhen'e had just arrived at the door and heard Qiu Qianren, the great swindler, belittle the Five Greats. If they were so inferior, then the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan wouldn't even be worth a fart. He blurted out.

Lu Chengfeng didn't immediately go to entertain the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan. Instead, he said to Qiu Qianren with a gloomy face, "Senior Qiu, you're exaggerating." He had seen Qiu Qianren belittling his mentor like this. If he didn't know he was no match for him, he would have already gone over and taught him a lesson. He didn't care if Qiu was a senior or not.

"Yes, yes, even the Northern Beggar Hong Qigong is very powerful. What you're saying is wrong." Guo Jing, who respected Hong Qigong, also spoke up in disagreement.

Huang Rong thought to herself, "Originally, I just wanted to beat you up and be done with it, but now I'm going to throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

Among all these people, only Yang Liming remained seated, eating without changing his expression, but inwardly he thought, "This old guy has gone too far with his boasting; let's see how he gets out of this mess." Qiu

the Great Swindler, seeing that he had incurred the wrath of the crowd, remained completely unfazed. He calmly rose and said, "Since you don't believe me, then I'll show you the martial arts of this great hero. I'll make you all convinced. Watch closely."

Yang Liming sighed in admiration; this guy truly was a master of deception, incredibly skilled. The

swindler then produced two stones that appeared to be extremely hard from somewhere. With a gentle squeeze, the two stones turned to powder.

"Hiss!" This stunned everyone except Yang Liming and Huang Rong. Any martial artist with a modicum of common sense understood that crushing such a stone wasn't difficult; most martial arts masters could do it. But to crush it into powder required an incredibly high level of internal energy. Without innate talent, it was unthinkable. Even Yang Liming himself wouldn't dare claim he could do it.

"Brother Ming, his stone isn't made of flour, is it?" Huang Rong tugged at Yang Liming. "Hehe, maybe," Yang Liming replied.

"Hahahaha, now you're convinced! The Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar are no match for this great hero!" "Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, the swindler Qiu said smugly. He knew he had stunned everyone.

"Hmph," he had just finished speaking when a cold snort rang out, and everyone felt a tightness in their chest upon hearing it. Old Man Qiu, who was at the forefront, almost vomited blood, his face turning pale.

Hearing this sound, Yang Liming smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect him to still come."

"Father, it's Father," Huang Rong suddenly stood up, and her eyes clearly said to Old Man Qiu, "You're doomed."

"Who is this master who has come to my Guiyun Manor? Please show yourself!" Lu Chengfeng knew from the voice that a master among masters had arrived.

Before he finished speaking, a ghostly figure appeared in the hall, leaving a trail of afterimages. He wore a strange human skin mask, and his hawk-like eyes swept over the swindler Qiu. "You've got quite the nerve..."
A hawk-like gaze swept over Qiu Qianren, the big liar. "You've got quite the nerve..." The moment he spoke, Lu Chengfeng trembled, but seeing the masked man, he couldn't be sure if it was the godlike figure he imagined. So he just stared at him excitedly.

Qiu Qianren, startled by the masked man's gaze, stumbled back several steps, his face paling even more.

"Who are you? Haven't you heard of the great hero's Iron Palm Water-Skimming fame? If you know what's good for you, get lost now, or I'll send you flying to Dongting Lake with a single wave of my Iron Palm!" Qiu Qianren, the big liar, lived up to his reputation as a professional conman. Although he had been startled by Huang Yaoshi's sudden gaze, he had recovered and immediately spoke aggressively. It was as if the pale-faced man he had just been was a completely different person.

His words had barely left his mouth... Suddenly, he felt the surrounding air thicken, making breathing several times more difficult than usual. His heart pounded with terror, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. If it weren't for his exceptional mental fortitude, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

Just as Qiu the Great Swindler was about to give up, shouts of battle and screams erupted outside.

Then, with a crash, several servants from Guiyun Manor flew in; judging by the blood gushing from the holes in their foreheads, they were beyond saving. Yang Liming and the others saw a woman enter and stand frozen in place. Her face was cold and pale as paper, her long hair flowing down her shoulders, and she looked up at the sky. Who else could it be but Iron Corpse Mei Chaofeng, Sister Mei?

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Lu Chengfeng felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing her. "Mei Chaofeng!" the Six Heroes and Guo Jing exclaimed in unison.

"Hahaha, so the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are still here! Good, good, good! Old grudges and new hatreds, we can settle them all today," Mei Chaofeng said sinisterly.

Lu Chengfeng raised his hands and said, "Senior Sister Mei, we parted twenty years ago, and today we finally meet again. How are you and Senior Brother Chen?"

Upon hearing his address to Mei Chaofeng, Huang Rong tugged at Yang Liming's sleeve and said, "This Master's martial arts, literature, speech, and actions are all modeled after my father. I've long suspected he has some connection to my family, but I never imagined he was Senior Brother Lu.

" Mei Chaofeng coldly replied, "Isn't that Junior Brother Lu Chengfeng speaking? Your Senior Brother Xuanfeng has long been murdered, and I'm blind now. Are you happy now?" Lu

Chengfeng was indeed somewhat happy; one of the Black Wind Duo was dead, and the other blind. His and his family's safety was greatly improved. However, thinking of their past friendship, a wave of sadness washed over him. He sighed and said, "Who was the enemy who killed Senior Brother Chen? Has Senior Sister avenged him? If not, I'm willing to lend a hand. After we avenge our sect's grievances, we can settle our old scores later."

Mei Chaofeng's heart stirred. "The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan are right here. If we use them to kill them, letting them fight like dogs, wouldn't that be even better?" Before

she could answer Lu Chengfeng, Han Baoju slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Mei Chaofeng, Lu Chengfeng, your enemies are right here! Come and try if you dare! We, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, are not afraid of you!" The other monsters hurriedly reached out to grab him. If Lu Chengfeng and Mei Chaofeng really joined forces today, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan would probably be wiped out of the martial arts world.

At this moment, Qiu Qianren, who had been granted a reprieve because of Mei Chaofeng's appearance, suddenly said, "Lu Chengfeng, so you and Mei Chaofeng are fellow disciples? Then what are you arguing about? Your own master has already been killed by the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. What kind of heroes are you still pretending to be?" Yang Liming broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. This idiot was still just like in the original story. He said something that had never happened. Wasn't he courting death? Huang Yaoshi was right in front of him! But Mei Chaofeng and the others didn't know that. They exclaimed in unison with Lu Chengfeng, "What did you say?" Mei Chaofeng flipped her hand and grabbed his wrist. She ignored the big liar's painful cries. Qiu Qianren saw that Mei Chaofeng wouldn't let go of him. He hurriedly said, "Master Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island was

framed and killed!" Before he could even utter the word "killed," he was kicked away. It was Huang Rong who did it. While kicking Old Man Qiu, she fiercely shouted at the big swindler, "Pah! You shameless swindler! My father is standing perfectly fine in front of you. I'll kick you to death!"

Then she ran to Huang Yaoshi, grabbed his arm, and said, "Father, that old man Xi dared to curse you just now! Why didn't you teach him a lesson?"

Sigh! Huang Yaoshi sighed. He said to Huang Rong with doting affection, "Your father is already furious with you, this girl who runs around everywhere. Where do I have the strength to teach anyone a lesson?" Actually, Huang Yaoshi didn't take the swindler Qiu seriously at all. In his opinion, using his aura to intimidate him was already giving him face. "Do you dare to do it?"

"Um, your son-in-law Yang Liming greets the Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi." "Father-in-law Huang, hello! Long time no see!" Yang Liming jumped out, grinning at Huang Yaoshi. He was reminding Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng that their master had arrived.

Hearing this, the reactions varied. The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan gaped in astonishment. Qiu Huyou wore a bitter expression; Huang Yaoshi, no wonder he wasn't afraid of his younger brother's reputation—he was in trouble now. Lu Chengfeng and Mei Chaofeng immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound. "Disciple greets Master." One wore a face full of terror, the other full of joy. Lu Guanying, standing beside Lu Chengfeng, couldn't pull his father up; instead, his father pulled him down to kneel as well.

Huang Yaoshi removed his mask, looked at Yang Liming, and said, "So it's you again? Calling me father-in-law now is a bit premature." “

Hehe, not too early, not too early, it was bound to happen sooner or later,” Yang Liming scratched his head, shamelessly saying.

Huang Yaoshi didn’t even bother to acknowledge the shameless man who was claiming to be his son-in-law. He walked up to Qiu the Conman and said, “Are you really Qiu Qianren? If he’s like this, Wang Chongyang wouldn’t have invited him to participate in the Mount Hua Sword Tournament with us back then.” Before Qiu the Conman could answer, he turned to Lu Chengfeng and said, “Chengfeng, throw this swindler out to feed the fish.” With his arrogance, he naturally wouldn’t lay a hand on a piece of trash.

“Yes, Master,” Lu Chengfeng replied. He had already seen that this Senior Qiu was an imposter. How could a peerless master be frightened to death by a single glance? Even if this person was Huang Yaoshi, it was impossible, right?

“Hey, what are you doing?” Qiu the Conman screamed as he was dragged outside after being restrained by the warriors of Guiyun Manor.

“Father-in-law, wait a moment.” "Yang Liming said at this moment. Then he ran up to Qiu Huyou, smiled at the grateful Qiu Huyou, and searched all his belongings. There were flour stones, steel stones, and a bunch of magician's items. After confirming that he was no longer of any use, he waved to the Guiyun Manor warriors and said, "Alright, you can continue. Drag him out and feed him to the fish." ...Ah! You robber. The voice gradually faded away. Huang Rong

said to Yang Liming with a smile, "You're so bad, you really pluck feathers from a passing goose." As she spoke, she happily picked up the magician's items she had found on Qiu Huyou. "But this swindler has quite a few interesting things on him."
Huang Rong said to Yang Liming with a smile, "You're so bad, you really pluck feathers from a passing goose." As she spoke, she happily picked up the magician's items she had found on Qiu Huyou. "However, this swindler has quite a few interesting things on him.

" Huang Yaoshi ignored Yang Liming, who was playing with the things Qiu Huyou had taken from him with Huang Rong. Instead, he walked straight to Lu Chengfeng and said to him with some affection in his eyes, "Chengfeng, it was indeed my fault back then. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. You've suffered so much these years. Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?" Hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, Lu Chengfeng kowtowed repeatedly, and Huang Yaoshi couldn't stop him. "No, no, it was my fault. I have never blamed you, Master. If we hadn't failed to protect Master's wife, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of us. It was my fault, Master, please don't say that. I dare not." Lu Chengfeng was startled. His master, whom he revered like a god, was suddenly apologizing to him. He was almost incoherent.

"Alright, Chengfeng. I was wrong. Don't you even have the courage to admit it?" He then looked at Lu Guanying and said, "He's your son, isn't he? It seems he hasn't practiced our Peach Blossom Island's martial arts?" “

Without Master’s permission, this disciple dares not…” Lu Chengfeng said. Huang Yaoshi interrupted him, then took out a martial arts manual from his robes and threw it in front of Lu Chengfeng, saying, “Years ago, in a moment of impulsiveness, I broke your legs. This is the Whirlwind Sweeping Leaves Kick, which I have specially modified for you brothers over the years. If you practice it according to its method for three to five years, you should be able to walk like a normal person.” “Also, you can personally teach your son his martial arts. I grant your permission.”

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Lu Chengfeng was overjoyed, pulling his son along and kowtowing repeatedly. He had no doubt about Huang Yaoshi's words that after three or five years of practice, he could walk like a normal person. Since his master said so, the effect would only be better, not worse in the slightest.

Having resolved Lu Chengfeng's matter, Huang Yaoshi looked at Mei Chaofeng, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Mei Chaofeng was his only female disciple. Since he didn't have a daughter at that time, he naturally loved her more than his other disciples. However, what she had done made him swear that he would kill her with a single palm strike whenever he saw her.

But now, seeing Mei Chaofeng in person, and seeing that once innocent and beautiful girl transformed into this grotesque, ghostly figure, blind and widowed, seemingly having suffered all the hardships of the world, Huang Yaoshi hesitated, unable to bring himself to strike.

"Where is my Nine Yin Manual?" Huang Yaoshi asked calmly. Mei Chaofeng hurriedly took out the human skin from her bosom and gave it to Huang Yaoshi, not daring to raise her head.

Huang Yaoshi took it, glanced at it, and put it back in his robes. He raised his hand to plant the bone-attaching nail in Mei Chaofeng's body. But his hand was only halfway there when it was grabbed. His face flushed with anger, and he turned around. It was none other than Yang Liming, who was grinning at him.

"Hehehe, Father-in-law, let's skip the bone-piercing nail. Sister Mei may be hateful, but she's suffered enough these past years. Why bother with a mere woman like her?"

Lu Chengfeng, Mei Chaofeng, and even Guo Jing, one of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, felt a chill run down their spines for Yang Liming. "Is this guy courting death?"

"Let go!" Huang Yaoshi's eyes narrowed, and his inner strength instantly surged. Yang Liming countered with his own. For a moment, the two were evenly matched.

"Eh!" Huang Yaoshi exclaimed in surprise, looking at Yang Liming strangely. "Good lad, only half a year! You've already reached this level." The level he referred to was naturally the Innate Realm.

"Hehehe, Father-in-law wants me to become stronger, how could I dare disobey? If you get angry and refuse to marry Rong'er to me, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?" Yang Liming still grinned foolishly.

"Hmph, your martial arts have indeed improved considerably, but you're still a bit lacking when it comes to meddling in my affairs." Huang Yaoshi was speaking the truth. Yang Liming was indeed at the early stage of the Innate Realm, just like him. However, compared to Huang Yaoshi, who was already very close to the middle stage of the Innate Realm, Yang Liming, this newbie, was indeed slightly inferior. Of course, this was Yang Liming's skill without using his explosive power. "Father, Brother Ming, what are you doing again? Let go!" Huang Rong looked worriedly at the two who had clashed again after half a year. "Junior Brother Yang, Senior Sister thanks you, but Master wants to punish Chaofeng, and Mei Chaofeng dares not disobey." She saw that Yang Liming called Huang Yaoshi his father-in-law, and Huang Yaoshi did not explicitly object. He had already completely believed that he was his junior brother. Now, seeing him stand up for her and Master, he couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.

"Father-in-law, I'll give you something, and you'll spare Sister Mei and take her back to Peach Blossom Island, how about that?" Yang Liming wouldn't offend Huang Yaoshi for Mei Chaofeng. He couldn't help but speak up.

"What do you have that I, Huang Yaoshi, would want?"

Hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, Yang Liming took out the Nine Yin Manual from his robes and handed it to Huang Yaoshi, saying, "And the Nine Yin Manual?"

Huang Yaoshi took the manual and immediately recognized it as the absolute authentic version. He was overjoyed. He had a wish to collect both volumes of the Nine Yin Manual and burn them for his deceased wife. In his eyes, nothing was more important than his wife and daughter. As long as he could burn the Nine Yin Manual for his deceased wife, what did it matter if he spared Mei Chaofeng? He had imprisoned Zhou Botong on Peach Blossom Island for over a decade, wasn't it all for this?

"Hahahaha, alright, Chaofeng, this time, for Yang's sake, I'll spare you for now." Huang Yaoshi agreed without hesitation. Yang Liming looked at his expression; he looked exactly like a corrupt official who had just been bribed.

He didn't care about giving the Nine Yin Manual to Huang Yaoshi. He already had it memorized. Keeping it now was useless. It would be better to use it to curry favor with Huang Yaoshi and Mei Chaofeng, making them grateful.

"Chaofeng! Was Xuanfeng killed by those ugly monsters over there?" Huang Yaoshi seemed to have thought of something, his laughter instantly turning grim. Yang Liming was impressed by his speed in changing his expression.

"It was me, Huang Yaoshi, what are you going to do about it?" Ke Zhen'e slammed his iron staff down, his voice harsh. Seeing that Huang Yaoshi seemed about to settle scores with them, he, concerned with his reputation, naturally stepped forward.

Yang Liming cursed inwardly: You idiot, you want to die? Fine, but don't drag Guo Jing and Han Xiaoying down with you! One is my second brother, the other a beauty. A beauty is one less to lose in this world. Although I don't have any feelings for her right now, I can't bear to see her die, can I?

Huang Yaoshi, upon hearing his words, simply said indifferently, "I don't fight with trash. Let Chaofeng deal with you later."

"What...what did you say, Huang Yaoshi?" The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan seemed to be the type who liked to court death. Hearing Huang Yaoshi's words, they actually wanted to fight him to the death. However, after being glared at fiercely by Huang Yaoshi, they deflated.

Huang Yaoshi seemed to have done what needed to be done. He took Huang Rong's hand and said, "Girl, come back with me first."

"Father!" Huang Rong looked at Yang Liming reluctantly. "Silly girl, can't you even wait a month?" Huang Yaoshi said.

"Huh, Father-in-law, why is it a month now? Isn't there still three months left until the year?" Yang Liming asked strangely.

Hearing Yang Liming's words, Huang Yaoshi said, "Boy, considering you gave me a copy of the Nine Yin Manual, don't blame me for not reminding you. You must come to Peach Blossom Island in a month. Ouyang Feng sent someone to deliver a letter to me a few days ago, saying he'll come to propose marriage to my son in a month."

Huang Yaoshi was generally satisfied with Yang Liming. Even if Yang Liming hadn't given him the Nine Yin Manual, he would still have told him the news since they had met.

What? It's that good-for-nothing Ouyang Ke again. Last time, he actually saved Ouyang Ke's life. Yang Liming was a little dissatisfied that he hadn't finished off that good-for-nothing with one palm last time. Actually, he had no idea that if his palm hadn't hit Ouyang Ke's chest protector last time, Ouyang Ke would have been dead long ago. Even so, it took Ouyang Feng a lot of effort to save his precious son.
With Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong gone, Mei Chaofeng, now unrestrained, sprang to her feet and charged towards the Six Heroes of Jiangnan, seemingly intent on tearing them apart. A

fierce battle erupted. Neither Yang Liming nor Lu Chengfeng intended to intervene. Lu Chengfeng, regardless of his status, was a member of Peach Blossom Island. His refusal to join Mei Chaofeng in attacking the Six Heroes of Jiangnan, after the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan had killed Chen Xuanfeng of Peach Blossom Island, was already a sign of his loyalty. Yang Liming, on the other hand, was simply waiting for either side to falter before intervening, hoping that this would make them remember his life-saving grace. So he temporarily stepped aside to watch the spectacle.

At this moment, Han Baoju, Quan Jinfeng, Nan Xiren, Han Xiaoying, Zhu Cong, Ke Zhen'e, and Guo Jing all drew their weapons and engaged Mei Chaofeng in a fierce battle. Each unleashed their ultimate techniques, constantly facing perilous situations. Since they were all armed (Mei Chaofeng also wielded a white bone whip), a single misstep could result in death or serious injury.

Although the Six Heroes of Jiangnan were only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, their daily interactions resulted in exceptional teamwork. The six formed a combined attack technique resembling the Big Dipper Formation. Adding to this, Guo Jing, the original protagonist who had not only mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms but also inexplicably gained late-stage Acquired Realm power, was constantly interfering. They managed to hold their own against Mei Chaofeng for a time. Mei Chaofeng, however, had impaired eyesight; despite her exceptional skill, she could only utilize about 80% of her power, relying solely on sound to judge attacks. Several times, Yang Liming missed opportunities to strike.

Nevertheless, Mei Chaofeng was a master at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm, possessing far greater endurance than the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Guo Jing. An hour later, after a fierce battle, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan and Guo Jing had exhausted most of their power, while Mei Chaofeng still had reserves. Han Xiaoying, with lower martial arts skills, was the first to succumb, her longsword flying from her hand by a whip from Mei Chaofeng. With a cry of pain, Han Xiaoying's hand was dislocated by the force of the whip.

Just as Yang Liming was about to rescue Han Xiaoying, a sudden and dramatic change occurred. Guo Jing, seeing his master injured, panicked and instantly mastered the Silent Palm technique used to wound Mei Chaofeng in the original story. His palm strike was completely silent, catching the visually impaired Mei Chaofeng completely off guard. He seized the opportunity as Mei Chaofeng moved to finish off Han Xiaoying and unleashed the "Shocking the Hundred Miles" move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. This move's power was immense, releasing its force upon contact with the body. It was almost the full force of Guo Jing's attack.

Caught off guard, Mei Chaofeng was struck in the back, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground. Had her skill not surpassed Guo Jing's, this blow would have been fatal.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, seeing her injured, swarmed forward, intending to finish off this great demon.

Mei Chaofeng, seeing weapons hurtling towards her, gave a bitter smile. Lu Chengfeng was extremely anxious. Although he had previously hated Mei Chaofeng, now that he had been taken back into Huang Yaoshi's sect, all his past resentment had vanished in that instant. All that remained was sympathy for Mei Chaofeng and the bond of kinship. Seeing his senior sister suddenly facing a life-or-death moment, he forgot his infirmity and forced himself to stand, only to fall to the ground. "Senior Sister!"

Just as Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng were in despair, a large sword suddenly appeared between the Six Heroes and Mei Chaofeng. The extremely powerful internal energy emanating from the sword forced the Six Heroes to retreat repeatedly even before they touched it. Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfeng, who were closest, even sat down on the ground with a thud, looking quite disheveled. "Big Brother!" Guo Jing exclaimed.

The one wielding the large sword was Yang Liming. Seeing Mei Chaofeng's dramatic defeat, he quickly took out the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword from his storage ring and used it to block the Six Heroes of Jiangnan.

As for why he took out the imposing Xuan Tie Heavy Sword… (Yang Liming: "Cool, so cool!")

"Ke Daxia, aren't you ashamed that so many of you are bullying a blind woman?"

The Six Eccentrics weren't too bothered by Yang Liming's words. Guo Jing, however, seemed to remember his own bullying tactics. He scratched the back of his head, his silly face turning bright red. He was clearly very embarrassed. Yang Liming chuckled inwardly; this silly boy could be quite adorable sometimes.

"Well, Young Hero Yang! I, Ke Zhen'e, am not only blind, but also blind in heart. I've always believed you, Young Hero Yang, to be a righteous and honorable person. I never imagined you would collude with that infamous, universally hated female demon! I, Ke Zhen'e, am truly ashamed that Jing'er has someone like you as his elder brother!" "He considers himself righteous and harbors extreme hatred for Mei Chaofeng, so in his eyes, no one associated with Mei Chaofeng is a good person. In the original story, he only suspected Guo Jing of learning martial arts from Mei Chaofeng, yet he wanted to kill him—that's clear.

" "Damn it, you old bastard, do you love to spout nonsense? I just wanted to show off and do some favors. And you've already belittled me into an enemy of the world. As if I'm some kind of utterly worthless person. You're dissatisfied with Mei Chaofeng? When Huang Yaoshi was here, why didn't you dare to get angry with him? Isn't it because you think I'm young and a pushover?"

Yang Liming was furious, slamming his Xuan Tie Heavy Sword into the ground with a "!" He coldly snorted.

These two loud bangs, filled with internal force, even made Mei Chaofeng dizzy, and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were even more unbearable, almost vomiting blood.

"Master Ke, unless you're so old that your ears have bulged, you should have heard me call Huang Yaoshi 'father-in-law'." "I can't possibly interfere in Mei Chaofeng's affairs. You'd better watch your mouth," he said, then without looking back, he flicked his sleeve at Ke Zhen'e, releasing his inner energy. "Ugh!" Ke Zhen'e tilted his head back, groaned, and was thrown off balance by the force, falling backward to the ground.

"Big Brother!" the other five monsters and Guo Jing called out simultaneously. The five monsters were worried that their big brother was injured, while Guo Jing spread his arms to block Yang Liming, afraid that he would hurt his master. He always felt that his big brother was unfathomable whenever he saw him. After confirming that their big brother was alright, Han Xiaoying cried out, picked up her longsword, and slashed at Yang Liming, but Yang Liming easily caught it with two fingers.

Han Xiaoying struggled to break free, but couldn't move. "Hehehe, beautiful lady, what are you doing? It's not good to swing that sword around like that."

"Seventh Sister, come back." "Ke Zhen'e shouted. Han Xiaoying glared at Yang Liming and walked back to her people.

"Your martial arts are superb, Master Yang. Forgive my blindness just now for not recognizing a master like you. I apologize for my rudeness."

She then said to Guo Jing and the Five Eccentrics, "Let's go. We can't afford to offend Master Yang." He knew he was no match for Yang Liming, and Yang Liming was clearly on Mei Chaofeng's side. Staying would only be a humiliation.

Actually, he had misunderstood Yang Liming. If he hadn't acted impulsively and disrespectfully towards Yang Liming, Yang Liming would have at most acted as a peacemaker. He wouldn't have targeted him.

"Second brother, wait." Yang Liming said. "Why, Master Yang, are you going to keep us here?" "Ke Zhen'e said to Yang Liming with ill intent. Guo Jing obediently stopped.

"I wasn't talking to you," Yang Liming said to Ke Zhen'e. Then he walked up to Lu Chengfeng and said, "Senior Brother Lu, didn't you hijack a large Jin ship a few days ago? Was there a man named Duan Tiande on board?" Yang Liming thought to himself, "Although my appearance changed history quite a bit, I wonder if Duan Tiande still fell into the hands of the Taihu Lake pirates."

"Junior Brother Yang, how do you know?" Although he asked this question, he still ordered his men to check the cell.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man with a very lewd appearance was brought before Yang Liming. He said to Yang Liming and the others with a fawning expression, "My name is Duan Tiande. I wonder what business you have with me, gentlemen?"

After hearing his words, Yang Liming said to him with a playful expression, "You are Duan Tiande?" "Seriously, this guy really lives up to his villainous reputation. His appearance is undeniable; he practically screams 'I'm a bad guy' on his face."

"Duan Tiande, Duan Tiande, you're Duan Tiande!" Guo Jing had been visibly excited ever since Yang Liming questioned Lu Chengfeng. Now, upon seeing his father's killer, he pounced on Duan Tiande like a raging lion…
