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

Yue Zhuoqun frowned deeply.

But Yilin is well-behaved and doesn't seem like the type to run away from home without leaving a message!

"Master, someone has delivered a letter." Just then, Liu Zhengfeng's disciple, Mi Weiyi, rushed over in a panic.

"We have news about Yilin."

Liu Zhengfeng took the box and opened it, his face initially lighting up with joy, but then immediately turning grim:

"If you want to save the little nun's life, at noon today, have Yue Buqun bring Qu Yang's head to Thousand Cliff, thirty miles south of Hengshan City—to Dongfang Bubai!"

"Invincible East!!"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

The saying "a person's reputation precedes them" has not been verified, but people in the martial arts world generally agree that Dongfang Bubai is the number one in the martial arts world.

Chapter 48 Climbing the Cliff

The Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect have been fighting for hundreds of years. The deeper their hatred and understanding, the more they can recall the battle to besiege Blackwood Cliff ten years ago.

At that time, the leader of the Sun Moon Cult was Ren Woxing, and Dongfang Bubai was the Left Envoy of Light.

All the masters from the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects came out, but they couldn't even climb Blackwood Cliff.

In that battle, Yue Buqun was easily defeated by Ren Woxing and fell seriously ill, which became quite a joke in the martial arts world.

However, just a few months after the battle ended, Dongfang Bubai launched a coup, defeated Ren Woxing, and became the new leader of the sect.

Although the specific details of that incident are unknown, everyone believes that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills are stronger than Ren Woxing's.

His gaze couldn't help but turn to Yue Zhuoqun.

At this "washing hands of the past" event, Yue Zhuoqun displayed remarkable skill, but he remained hesitant about whether he could defeat Dongfang Bubai.

After all, ten years ago, Yue Buqun was easily defeated by Ren Woxing, while Dongfang Bubai defeated Ren Woxing.

The gap between the two is too large. Can it be caught up in ten years?

"Senior Brother Yue, you should think twice before you act."

Liu Zhengfeng spoke up subconsciously.

They were not only worried that Yue Zhuoqun would actually take Qu Yang's head, but also worried about Yue Zhuoqun's safety.

"The Thousand-Ren Cliff is located thirty miles south of Hengshan City, towering into the clouds."

Although it is not as perilous as Mount Hua, the cliffs are still extremely difficult to climb, and ordinary people simply cannot get up there.

Not only was Dongfang Bubai highly skilled in martial arts, but he was also extremely ruthless.

If they set an ambush, no matter how many of us go, I'm afraid none of us will come back alive.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this, for Liu Zhengfeng's words were indeed true.

Dongfang Bubai didn't even need to use his martial arts skills; as everyone climbed the cliff, he could simply throw down a stone and cause them to fall to their deaths.

I don't think we need to worry so much.

Yue Zhuoqun thought for a moment and said:

"With so many experts here last night, Dongfang Bubai was able to abduct Yilin silently. Killing Qu Yang would be a piece of cake for him too."

But he wouldn't do it himself; he wanted me to bring Qu Yang's head to him. Clearly, there was something else going on.

You don't need to go up the cliff later; I'll go up alone and stay with him for a while.

"Brother!"

"Head!"

Ning Zhongze, Feng Beng, and others immediately became anxious.

"Don't worry, even if I can't defeat Dongfang Bubai, I'm still confident that I can escape unscathed."

Besides, Yilin was kidnapped because she came to see me, so I cannot back down no matter what.

Yue Zhuoqun waved his hand, his mind made up.

Last night I raised the Lingxi Finger skill to perfect proficiency, and I'm very confident in myself.

……

After some time, the group arrived at the Thousand-Foot Cliff.

Looking up at the cliff top, it was indeed unscalable.

The main cliff is one or two hundred meters high, with smooth walls and only a few scattered protruding rocks that can be climbed.

Such a cliff face is impassable, not to mention ordinary people, even top-notch masters with insufficient lightness skills cannot climb it.

"There is only one hidden path leading to the top of the cliff, but the path is behind the cliff, and it will probably take more than an hour to get there," Liu Zhengfeng explained.

"No need to go around, I'll climb the cliff directly from here."

The letter from Dongfang Bubai mentioned noon, but there was no time left.

Yue Zhuoqun slung the Gentleman's Sword over his back, tucked the hem of his robe into his waist, focused his energy in his dantian, activated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, and suddenly charged out.

When you are ten meters away from the cliff, take a deep breath and jump.

Bang!

He stomped two small holes in the ground with his feet and his body leaped into the air.

Yue Zhuoqun was in the air, his arms outstretched, as if he had transformed into a purple wild goose soaring in the sky.

He ascended at an extremely fast speed, using only his dantian to fly up a cliff more than twenty meters high. Just as he was about to fall due to exhaustion, he touched a protruding cliff face with his toes and leaped up again.

The crowd below stared in disbelief, unable to suppress their gasps of amazement.

"Is this the Golden Goose Skill of the Huashan Sect? It truly lives up to its reputation."

"Such lightness skill is probably unmatched in the martial arts world!"

……

On the cliff, Dongfang Bubai, dressed in a magnificent crimson robe, sat upright on a rock, practicing his martial arts with his eyes closed.

She possessed a noble and stunning appearance, with alluring red lips that exuded a captivating charm.

He sat there with his eyes closed, yet people dared not look directly at him, as if it were a desecration.

Yilin sat not far away, with a man and a woman guarding her.

She gazed silently at the sea of ​​clouds, her face full of melancholy. After a moment, she took out two items from her bosom and gently stroked them.

One was the Hengshan School sword technique manual that Yue Zhuoqun gave her last night, and the other was a sachet.

She has encountered three crises in her life.

When she was six years old, she encountered bandits and her parents were killed. Her older sister lured the bandits away to save her and disappeared.

The sachet was given to her by her older sister when she left.

That was the first crisis.

The second crisis was two days ago when she was kidnapped by Tian Boguang. Fortunately, Yue Zhuoqun appeared and rescued her from the jaws of death.

Today is the third crisis.

But this time she wasn't scared at all, and even felt that it wouldn't be bad if she died like this.

Not only can you reunite with your family after you die, but you also won't feel lost anymore.

Looking at the cliff, a sudden urge to jump up surged within me.

laugh!

Suddenly, a red light flashed, and Dongfang Bubai appeared in front of Yilin, the sachet in his hand now in hers.

"give me back!"

Yilin reached out to snatch it, but Dongfang Bubai made no move, yet his figure gracefully shifted two meters to the side.

After staring at the sachet for a moment, he asked in surprise, "How did you get this sachet?"

"That was left to me by my sister, please give it back to me!" Yilin was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

The sachet was one of her most treasured possessions.

"elder sister!"

Dongfang Bubai's body stiffened, his domineering expression softened, and he stared blankly at Yilin, his gaze gentle: "You are..."

Just as she was about to speak, a figure suddenly leaped out from outside the cliff.

While in mid-air, the jet-black longsword was drawn from its sheath, and a golden energy shot out from the tip.

Chi!

The powerful energy pierced the air, stirring up waves.

Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow and waved his sleeve.

Bang!
