Chapter 2888 Are You a Living Yama? (Two chapters combined, please follow for more)

After listening to Xiao Qiushui's words, Qu Hanshan's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said quietly,
"If that's the case, then the Power Gang might really be colluding with the Northern Wilderness. But I've heard that the leader of the Power Gang lives in your Huanhua Sword Sect. How do you explain that?"

Xiao Xilou knew that the other party had ill intentions, but he did not expect that the other party was after Wang Yue!
Fortunately, Wang Yue had guessed in advance and given Xiao Xilou a response. So, although Xiao Xilou wasn't particularly willing to lie, he had no other choice but to say what Wang Yue wanted to say.

"Chief Li came here for this very reason. His explanation was that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest, and it's not impossible for one or two traitors to appear from time to time."

Therefore, after examining the evidence, Chief Li personally escorted Old Madam Wu to meet General Wu's subordinates to avoid any misunderstanding. This matter is common knowledge in the martial arts world.

Although Guangling is located in a remote area, Master Qu should know about it. Haven't you heard of it?

Seeing Xiao Xilou's sophistry, Qu Hanshan snorted and said, "Is that so? But I've heard that the Power Gang is a large and powerful organization, and Chief Li is a busy man. He shouldn't be personally seeing people off for such a trivial matter."

Xiao Xilou deliberately sighed and mimicked Wang Yue's tone,
"If my disciples cause trouble, I, as the sect leader, will personally go and apologize to them. After all, this is basic courtesy."

"Thinking about it, with Chief Li wielding power and helping so many people, there must be some things that bother him. He must be quite exhausted!"

Seeing that he couldn't find any loopholes in their words and had no way to refute them, Qu Hanshan directly stated his purpose.
"I have met Chief Li before. Since I'm here, I should pay my respects. I wonder if Sect Leader Xiao could introduce me?"

Xiao Xilou knew he couldn't avoid it, so he calmly said, "Since Hero Qu wants to see you, of course you can come. However, whether Chief Li is willing to see you is not up to me."

Qu Hanshan thought he had Xiao Xilou under control, so he said matter-of-factly...
"Of course. Even though you are the host, I will not force a guest to see me if he does not wish to."

Seeing that Qu Hanshan insisted, Xiao Xilou naturally wouldn't stop him. He wanted his son-in-law to teach the Sword King a lesson, so he immediately stood up and said with a smile,

"In that case, I will take you all to the guest quarters to meet Chief Li."

Qu Hanshan thought his plan had succeeded, and immediately said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader Xiao."

The others had just had a cup of tea under the shade and hadn't really rested yet, but Qu Hanshan was already going to see the leader of the Power Gang, whom many of them had never met before, so they wanted to go and see him.

The group quickly arrived outside the guest courtyard arranged by the Huanhua Sword Sect. Xiao Xilou called out to those inside in a very professional manner.

"Chief Li, the chivalrous Qu from Guangling wishes to see you. I wonder if you will grant him an audience?"

"not see!"

No sooner had Xiao Xilou finished speaking than a cold voice came from inside the courtyard.

The martial arts figures who followed him gasped in shock upon hearing Wang Yue's refusal. They hadn't expected the Power Gang to disrespect even the great hero Qu.

Qu Hanshan recognized the voice as belonging to the gang leader. Seeing that Wang Yue was unwilling to see him, he sneered, leaped into the air, and jumped into the courtyard.

While still in the air, he shouted, "Why be so formal, Chief Li? We're all acquaintances, what's wrong with meeting up?"

He left quickly and returned even faster. Although he had practiced to the point where he could see everything in the world without a sword in his hand, he was rarely able to use it at all!
"roll!"

With a roar, Qu Hanshan, who had been a dashing swordsman when he left, crashed through the courtyard wall like a meteor when he returned. Like a cannonball, he slammed heavily against the mountainside not far away before sliding down like a broken doll.

Although Wang Yue no longer possessed internal energy, he was, after all, a Golden Immortal, and his physical strength was incomparable to that of a martial arts master.

If Wang Yue wanted to punch someone, he wouldn't even need to use his full strength to send the person flying.

Moreover, Wang Yue had already grasped the laws of swordsmanship. This Qu Hanshan was actually known as the Sword King, but if he used a sword in front of him, he would definitely be suppressed and have no power to fight back.

Qu Hanshan had just determined Wang Yue's location through the wall and used his lightness skill to pounce on Wang Yue, unleashing a powerful sword aura from his palm. However, the attack was completely repelled, causing him even more severe internal injuries, rendering him unable to use his sword aura for the time being.

Therefore, after Qu Hanshan fell off the cliff, his full head of black hair turned white.

"You are the Sword King!"

Some people recognized Qu Hanshan's identity immediately by his white hair!
It turns out that Qu Hanshan, this great hero of Yigonglin, is actually a member of the Power Gang!
The Power Gang, relying on its vast resources and influence, had long been a source of resentment for the various sects. When they saw that Qu Hanshan of Yigonglin was actually a member of the Power Gang, they immediately felt that they had been deceived.

Just as everyone was thinking this, Wang Yue's figure flashed through the crowd a few times as if he had teleported, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Qu Hanshan. Then, he kicked the man back again.

However, when Wang Yue kicked, he followed closely behind, returning to the courtyard along with Qu Hanshan, who was kicked away.

"Bang bang bang~!"

With a series of thuds, a large section of the courtyard walls and houses of the Huanhua Sword Sect collapsed.

Qu Hanshan had considered retaliating, but although his martial arts were extremely powerful, they were full of flaws in the eyes of Wang Yue, a Golden Immortal.

So before he could gather his inner strength, he was sent flying. The Sword King was thus subjected to Wang Yue's relentless kicking and kicking like a ball!
Things happened so fast that no one had time to react. It wasn't until Qu Hanshan was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back that Liu Qianbian, Zuo Changsheng, and Gu Junshan rushed into the courtyard to help.

Because they were prepared, they struck first, their sword energy so powerful it was like rainbows; any ordinary person who got caught in their attacks would either die or be severely injured.

However, Wang Yue's Prajna Heart Bell formed naturally, blocking the three's attack, and then a new round of passing the buck began.

Moreover, now that there are other people around, Wang Yue no longer needs to kick and bang his head against the wall; he can simply lift them onto another person.

Qu Hanshan originally used his true qi to protect his body, so even if he was dismantling the wall, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him. However, he also understood that Wang Yue had held back his strength. Otherwise, Wang Yue would have kicked him to death long ago, since Wang Yue was playing around with him.

But now it's different when someone bumps into another person!

The wall won't fight back; at most, internal energy can break through the wall, but then the force will dissipate somewhat.

People will retaliate, and Wang Yue's speed was so fast that it seemed like his shadow was everywhere in the yard. The four people rushed around the yard like a ball, and Wang Yue intercepted them precisely every time.

Xiao Qiushui, Zuoqiu Chaoran, Deng Yuhan, Tang Rou, Xiao Xueyu, Feng Lang, and of course those who had been captured by Wang Yue, were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Many people were seeing Wang Yue fight for the first time, and they didn't expect him to fight so violently, which terrified them.

Previously, Xiao Qiushui and Xiao Xueyu were worried about how Wang Yue persuaded these people, and even wanted to see what kind of martial arts Wang Yue used.

The result was unexpected; it turned out to be a simple game of kicking a ball, which completely shattered their worldview.

The four people had been hit repeatedly for too long, and their protective internal energy was shattered. They were all seriously injured and had no way to escape.

Seeing that it was almost done, Wang Yue said to Xiao Xueyu, "Yu'er, cast life-and-death talismans on them!"

Hearing Wang Yue's shout, Xiao Xueyu finally came to her senses and rushed forward, casting several life-or-death talismans!

Actually, the next dish would have been fine, but Xiao Xueyu thought that these were all famous figures, so she should add more.
Then, the four men couldn't help but wail, but because they had been beaten by Wang Yue for so long, their arms were broken, so they couldn't scratch themselves and could only roll on the ground and wail.

The process of feeling better lasted for about fifteen minutes before the unbearable itching finally ended.

Seeing that the first procedure was complete, Wang Yue turned to Hua Gu Fen, who was watching the show nearby, and said...

"Hua Gufen, I'm handing these four over to you. Teach them a good lesson, and they'll have to behave themselves here."

When Hua Gufen was called by name, he shuddered. He was very grateful that Wang Yue had been relatively gentle with him.

Hua Gufen had previously thought that with the arrival of the Sword King, a master, he might be saved. Although he didn't like the Sword King, he had to admit that the Sword King's martial arts were extremely high.

But what does he see now?
The Sword King was being kicked around like a football; it was truly a miserable sight.

Sword King hasn't been defeated yet, but Hua Gufen has truly been defeated.

Hearing Wang Yue suddenly call his name, Hua Gufen felt a pang in his heart.
"Yes, Chief, I'll take them away and have a proper talk with them. How dare they lay a hand on you in front of the Chief? This is utterly disrespectful and disgraceful."

Hua Gufen didn't actually recognize Gu Junshan, so he mistook all these people for the Sword King's subordinates and quickly called Kong Yangqin and Yan Guigui to take the four people away.

Qu Hanshan and the other three had fractures all over their bodies and would have to stay in bed for a while, but Wang Yue didn't care, since he wouldn't need them for a while anyway.

As long as these four people focus on recovering and don't cause Wang Yuetian any trouble, everything will be fine.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wang Yue used his Cloud Stepping technique to fly to the top of the wall. Looking down at Xiao Xilou, he said...
"Chief Xiao, I will compensate you for the damage you caused to your property in order to teach a few unruly members of the gang a lesson."

This was the first time Xiao Xilou had ever seen Wang Yue in action. Even the legendary Sword King had been beaten into a ball by Wang Yue. He felt that this son-in-law was really too strong, which made him stand up straight and completely relieved!

Xiao Xilou laughed heartily and said, "Chief Li is joking. It's just a few houses and a few sections of wall. I'll have someone rebuild them later. There's no need for Chief Li to pay compensation."

These fellow martial artists have come to inquire about the Hero's Token; perhaps Chief Li could provide an answer?

Upon hearing Xiao Xilou's words, everyone couldn't help but look at him with fear!
They all had the same thought in their minds: Could this Xiao Xilou be a living Yama?
Didn't you see that Sword King has already been beaten into a ball by Chief Li for causing trouble?
At this point, all they wanted was to leave gracefully, but Xiao Xilou suddenly questioned them like this, wasn't he just causing them trouble?
So, the onlookers from the Guangling martial arts world who had followed immediately backed down and shouted,
"Chief Li has already clarified, so it must be a misunderstanding. The Hero's Token must be in Old Madam Wu's hands!"

"Yes, yes, with Chief Li personally escorting it, who else could possibly steal this?"

"Chief Li is truly benevolent and righteous. We misunderstood you. Please forgive us, Chief Li!"

Hearing these people's words, Xiao Xilou couldn't help but sneer inwardly, but outwardly he calmly asked,

"But isn't my son still being held by you, accused of colluding with the northerners for some kind of military pills?"
This matter must be clarified, otherwise, the reputation of our Huanhua Sword Sect will be ruined!

Upon hearing Xiao Xilou's words, the martial arts masters seemed to snap out of their daze. A few quick-witted ones immediately ran to the Sword King's tent and released Xiao Yiren. Only when Xiao Yiren walked towards Xiao Xilou did some of them continue to smile obsequiously and say...

"Master Xiao, it was all a misunderstanding. It must have been Yu Chiqing who deliberately set it up to mislead us!"

"Yes, yes, we'll kill that Yuchi Qing when we get back!"

"With Chief Li vouching for the Marching Pill, how could this matter be wrong?"

Xiao Xilou and Sun Huishan quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Yiren. After a careful examination, they found that apart from some superficial injuries, he had not suffered any real suffering, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xilou really wanted to avenge his son. They also knew that if they didn't stop this matter properly, the Huanhua Sword Sect would probably have a hard time maintaining its position in the martial arts world.

So Xiao Xilou sighed and said with feigned regret, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, I won't keep you any longer. My son is frightened, so I need to take him inside to rest."

The martial arts masters of Guangling were very grateful for Xiao Xilou's words, but they stood there without daring to move, their eyes fixed on Wang Yue.

Wang Yue ignored them, turned around and flew down from the wall to the few remaining intact houses.

When the martial arts masters in the valley saw Wang Yue leave, they quickly slipped away as well.

In less than fifteen minutes, the hundreds of people who had gathered there had all disappeared.

Some were so anxious that they left their luggage inside the tent, but they didn't dare to go back to get it.

When Sun Huishan arranged for people to clean up, she unexpectedly discovered a lot of silver, which was more than enough to renovate the courtyard.

When Sun Huishan returned, she joked with Xiao Xilou, "Let's use this money to expand our courtyard a bit more. I think our son-in-law will have more and more captives!"

Xiao Xilou sighed and said helplessly, "It seems we've weathered the crisis this time, but our Huanhua Sword Sect is now completely bound to the Power Gang, which is a bit worrying."

Sun Huishan's good mood vanished instantly, and she said in his tone,

"That's true. If it were true, that would be great. It's just a pity that it isn't."

Xiao Xilou's eyes darted around, and he came up with another idea. He said uncertainly, "Our son-in-law's martial arts are so high, do you think he can beat the real Li Chenzhou?"

Sun Huishan immediately knew what her husband was up to, and she said with a smile,

"It's said that Sword King is one of the top experts in the Power Gang, but he was powerless against Xiao Yue. So I think our son-in-law can definitely beat Li Chenzhou!"

Xiao Xilou smiled and shook his head, saying, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of. At worst, we can let our son-in-law stay at home for a while longer."

Sun Huishan quickly added, "That would be perfect. I can also urge Yu'er to give me a grandson soon."

Xiao Xilou couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere between the couple was very harmonious.

……

Wang Yue had no idea that his parents-in-law wanted him to stay at the Huanhua Sword Sect to have a child. At that moment, he was surrounded by Xiao Qiushui's four disciples.

Xiao Qiushui immediately asked excitedly, "Master, what moves did you use when you beat up the Sword King? They looked so powerful! And that light footwork you used when you flew out was incredibly fast too."

Seeing Xiao Qiushui's excited eyes, Wang Yue said bluntly, "Luoyan Step is relatively easy to learn. I have already taught you. When you master Luoyan Step, you can accelerate it by pushing your internal energy, and you will be able to do what I did before."

Of course, if you still want to learn how to use the Cloud Stepping Technique that I'm using now, I can teach you.

But you need to understand one thing: stepping on clouds is actually the same as the Prajna mind; both require enlightenment!

And true understanding requires, most fundamentally, a calm mind! If your mind isn't calm, you simply can't learn it!

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Xiao Qiushui immediately lost interest; since she had already asked,

"Master, should we continue to play the role of the leader of the Power Gang?"

Wang Yue said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about. Things have already come to this, so we can only continue playing the role."

……

After Wang Yue and his side finished their discussion, news of Li Chenzhou's brutal beating of the Sword King had already spread.

Liu Suifeng was very glad that he hadn't intervened or used the Gu worm to coerce Zi Fenghuang. He felt it was good to leave this inside man behind and immediately reported the matter to Li Chenzhou.

Li Chenzhou did not immediately answer Liu Suifeng's question. He simply said "I understand" and then instructed Suifeng not to act rashly for the time being.

After Liu Suifeng left, Zhao Shirong frowned and said, "Chenzhou, what exactly does that fake Li Chenzhou want to do? It seems he wants to gradually devour our power!"

Li Chenzhou said casually, "This person hasn't done anything to harm the martial arts world so far, let's wait and see."

"Thinking about it, with Li Chenzhou suddenly appearing, the person who should be most worried isn't anyone else, but the one sitting on the throne."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shirong burst into laughter, but after laughing, she immediately became serious and said...

"But there is a very troublesome thing. This fake Li Chenzhou happens to be at the Huanhua Sword Sect, where there is a Xiao Qiushui who looks a lot like you."

The person sitting on the throne probably won't be able to tolerate this; there's going to be a lot of trouble coming up.

Li Chenzhou also realized what was going on and said solemnly, "I know what you're saying, and this matter may involve Old Madam Wu. General Wu, who has been stripped of his military power, is probably in danger."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shirong said, "Then Old Madam Wu is probably in danger too. Should we go and rescue her?"

Li Chenzhou stood up and said seriously, "Save him? Of course I'll save him, but I want to see if that fake Li Chenzhou will actually do it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shirong couldn't help but laugh, "It seems we can also be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

……

Almost simultaneously, the emperor learned of this news in the palace.

The emperor did not believe that Wang Yue was a fake; on the contrary, he thought that Wang Yue was the real one. Otherwise, how could there be a Xiao Qiushui who looked so much like Li Chenzhou!

The emperor was always wary of Li Chenzhou, and he was only at ease because he had not found out that Li Chenzhou had an heir. That is why he forced Li Chenzhou to come back every month to get the antidote, but he never thought of killing Li Chenzhou.

But now it’s different!

Li Chenzhou actually had a son, which the emperor absolutely could not allow.

The emperor snorted coldly and said to someone in the corner, "Give the order: that Xiao Qiushui must die!"

At the emperor's command, the Imperial City Guard dispatched a large number of personnel overnight to the Huanhua Sword Sect!

They must have heard rumors in the martial arts world that the Huanhua Sword Sect possesses a mysterious medicine that can silently bring down enemies.

Therefore, in order to achieve its goal, the Imperial City Guard not only mobilized manpower from the surrounding areas, but also prepared to kill Xiao Qiushui in Jinzhou.

Unfortunately, Jinzhou has been going through a lot lately, and Xiao Qiushui has been ordered to stay home and not go out, so Huang Chengshi has not had a chance to go out.

With the emperor's order already issued more than half a month ago, and if the task was not completed soon, they would be unable to answer to the emperor. In the end, the Imperial City Guard even resorted to using crossbows.

At midnight that day,

"Ah~!"

With a mournful cry, a series of crossbow bolts pierced the air.

Although the sound was far away, Wang Yue still heard it. He immediately sat up in bed and quickly put on his clothes.

Xiao Xueyu had recently followed her mother's instructions and was actually planning to have a child, so she was busy very late. Hearing Wang Yue get up, she murmured, "..."

"What's wrong? Why did you get up in the middle of the night?"

Wang Yue said solemnly, "You'd better get dressed and get ready. The people who attacked this time were too fast; there wasn't even enough time to administer the medicine."

Xiao Xueyu was surprised that someone was targeting the Xiao family again, so she quickly got up as instructed.

When she and Wang Yue arrived at the front hall, everyone else was already up.

Upon seeing Wang Yue, Xiao Xilou said solemnly, "My dear son-in-law, I'm afraid we'll have to use your sleeping potion again. The enemy's crossbows are too powerful. Several of our disciples have died, and more than half of them are injured."

Wang Yue didn't waste any more words. He gestured for Xiao Xueyu to distribute some antidote to everyone, and then he opened the bottle containing the "Sad Breeze" medicine.
