Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Kumārajīva laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the Divine Blade Slash, indeed a strike that even gods and demons cannot withstand."

After a moment of self-admiration, he excitedly turned around: "Benefactor Yue, this humble monk has already mastered this sword technique, and my strength has greatly increased. That witch Li is active in this area. How about the two of us join forces, launch a surprise attack on her, and seize the Lesser Formless Skill?"

His strength had just improved when he was tempted to try and acquire the Lesser Formless Skill.

"Oh, I have already obtained the Lesser Formless Skill."

"What? You... how did you get it?" Kumārajīva was a little confused.

"Madam Wang of Mantuo Manor is Li Qiushui's daughter. Her manor has a manual for the Lesser Formless Skill. After I sent you and Duan Yu away that day, I went to retrieve it."

Kumārajīva suddenly clutched his chest, staggered back two steps, and swayed.

“Then, then tell me where the Northern Darkness Divine Art is, and I will go and seize it.”

"Oh, Duan Yu knows the secret manual of the Northern Darkness Divine Art. I also got it from him at the Canhe Manor."

This this……

Kumārajīva's eyes widened, his gaze lifeless, and his blood ran cold. He felt as if a golden mountain had slipped through his fingers.

“Benefactor Yue, your aloofness makes this humble monk feel like a stranger.”

Knowing full well the easier way to obtain the secret manual, yet not telling this humble monk, is truly disrespectful.

But he was still not giving up: "You didn't get this part of the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique, did you?"

"I didn't get it, but now I'm the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui are both my senior sisters, so it would be easy for me to get it."

Ah? ?

Kumārajīva collapsed.

I went through a lot of trouble to obtain a martial arts manual, how come it was as easy for Benefactor Yue as drinking cold water?

Is this the unevenness of life?

Buddha, how unfair you are to this humble monk!

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and this other martial art!"

"Qiao Feng is now the Southern King of Liao, and he commands a large army. Does Master really intend to seize it?"

"What is there to fear, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are? As for Qiao Feng of the North, this humble monk does not take him seriously."

Kumārajīva snorted coldly and said domineeringly.

He easily defeated Murong Fu back then, and in his mind, Qiao Feng, who was of equal renown, couldn't be that powerful.

Yue Zhuoqun smiled and didn't explain further: "Then I wish you a safe journey, Master."

"Benefactor Yue, just wait for my good news!" Kumārajīva bowed and strode away.

We need to act quickly; the other side has almost obtained all the martial arts techniques that Yue Zhuoqun mentioned.

If Yue Zhuoqun were to obtain the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms ahead of time, what would I use to exchange for martial arts skills?

After Kumārajīva left, Yue Zhuoqun and the other three did not linger and headed west.

Two days later, it became clear that there were more martial arts practitioners in the area.

These martial arts practitioners were all people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under the Lingjiu Palace. They were going to hold a grand gathering of ten thousand immortals in the mountains fifty miles ahead to discuss how to fight against the Heavenly Child Granny.

"The Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals will be held tonight. It seems that the Heavenly Child Granny has been brought down from the Lingjiu Palace by Boss Wu."

Yue Zhuoqun's mind stirred, and he led the four women toward the meeting place.

……

As night fell, torches were lit in the middle of the dense forest, and hundreds of people gathered together.

People from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, including the wrestling king Bu Ping Dao Ren, the hibiscus fairy Cui Lü Hua, the sword god Zhuo Bu Fan, and even Murong Fu and his four great retainers.

It turned out that Wu Laoda and his group were having a gathering when Murong Fu and his four companions, who had left Leigu Mountain, inadvertently barged in, leading to a conflict between the two sides.

Fortunately, the three righteous men, Zhuo Bufan and Cui Lühua, mediated the conflict and resolved it.

After exchanging names, Boss Wu learned that the man before him was Murong Fu from Gusu. He was filled with admiration and asked him for help in fighting against the Heavenly Child Granny.

Although the masters of the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Island Daoists are not top-tier in strength, they are still skilled fighters in the martial arts world.

These sects combined form an extremely powerful force, and Murong Fu was instantly tempted, agreeing without much thought.

"Good, with Young Master Murong's help, we will definitely be able to eradicate Lingjiu Palace and kill Tianshan Tonglao this time."

Boss Wu waved his hand excitedly: "Bring it up."

The next moment, a man pulled a cloth bag out from behind the tree stump. Inside the bag was a girl of eight or nine years old.

The little girl had rosy cheeks and bright eyes, making her look petite and adorable.

"This little girl is the one I brought out from Lingjiu Palace. Let's each cut her once, and use her blood to prove our resolve."

"Young Master Murong, your reputation is the highest here, and we are all willing to follow your lead. You shall take the first sword strike!"

Murong Fu frowned slightly, feeling a pang of reluctance at the thought of killing the little girl.

But thinking of the great cause of restoring the country, he still drew his sword and stepped forward.

With a fierce determination, he raised his sword and thrust it towards the girl's body.

Chi~

Suddenly, a sharp blade of light slashed down from the sky, its light filled with a terrifying demonic aura, tearing the air apart.

The attack came too suddenly, and Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively raised his sword to block it.

Keng!

The blade struck the longsword, sending him flying back several meters.

His pupils constricted sharply as he stared incredulously at the beautiful woman who had landed in front of the little girl: "Cousin...cousin?"

The one who made the move was Wang Yuyan. She held the Dragon-Slaying Saber, her expression was cold, and her gaze towards Murong Fu was full of sorrow.

During this period of time, I have been practicing the "Erotic Blade" with Yue Zhuoqun, and my personality has changed somewhat.

However, she still harbored feelings for Murong Fu.

She overheard the entire conversation among the heroes in the forest. At first, she didn't think much of it, but when Murong Fu was about to attack the girl, she could no longer hold back and drew her sword to stop him.

"Cousin, you can even kill a seven or eight-year-old girl. I'm so disappointed in you."

Murong Fu's face stiffened, then he became furious: "For the sake of the greater cause, how can I be so soft-hearted? What I do is none of your business, get out of my way!"

"Heh! Murong Fu, still so unable to recognize himself." Yue Zhuoqun chuckled, and led A Zhu and A Bi out from the shadows.

"Yue Zhuoqun!" Murong Fu's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank.

After Leigu Mountain, Yue Zhuoqun's reputation began to spread in the martial arts world, but it was not long before Boss Wu and others had not heard of him and did not know the details.

Treating the four as uninvited guests, they immediately surrounded Murong Fu and asked, "Young Master Murong, are these your enemies? Should we all help you finish them off?"

"Don't act rashly!"

Murong Fu was startled and quickly tried to stop him.

He really didn't want to be Yue Zhuoqun's enemy, so he could only suppress his resentment and say:

“Young Master Yue, since you are unwilling to associate with me, please take Yu Yan and leave without disturbing our gathering.”

Chapter 144 Tianshan Child Mother

"Leave? Are you just going to sit idly by and watch me discuss how to fight against the Free and Unfettered Sect?" Yue Zhuoqun walked slowly to the girl's side.

The little girl, who was pretending to be pitiful, froze for a moment when she heard his words, a look of surprise flashing across her face.

"The Free and Unfettered Sect?" Murong Fu looked puzzled. "Young Master Yue has misunderstood. We are dealing with the Lingjiu Palace, which has nothing to do with your Free and Unfettered Sect."

"Ha, ignorant! Lingjiu Palace is a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect, and Tianshan Tonglao is Wuyazi's senior sister. You call that unrelated?"

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

The three elders of Xiaoyao are all in their eighties or nineties, and there are very few people left who know their origins.

Even among the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands, the longest they have had contact with Lingjiu Palace is no more than forty years.

Every year when they went to Lingjiu Palace to celebrate the birthday of the Heavenly Child Granny, they would be blindfolded and wouldn't even know what the Granny looked like, let alone the relationship between them.

After Wu Laoda and the others realized what was happening, they were filled with shock and anger. They drew their swords and pointed them directly at Yue Zhuoqun and his group of four: "Fine, since you are related to Lingjiu Palace, then we can't let you live. Everyone, let's kill them together."

As his voice fell, the heroes did not hesitate and rushed forward using their respective methods.

They were unaware of Yue Zhuoqun's power, but Murong Fu was well aware of it. He wanted to speak up and stop him, but it was too late.

Wang Yuyan raised an eyebrow and swung the Dragon-Slaying Saber in her hand.

A massive amount of innate true energy supported the dark red sword energy, enveloping everyone's bodies.

snort~

After the flash of the blade, the people at the front stopped in their tracks, their eyes glazed over.

bang bang bang~

His body lay straight on the ground, but there was no injury on his body.
