Travel through the heavens

Duan Yu hurriedly reached out his hand to help Wuyazi up, and when he checked his breath, he found that he was already dead.

Duan Yu could not hold back his tears. He carried Wuyazi's body to the wall and made him sit upright against it. Then he knelt on the ground and said, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely fulfill your last wish and kill Ding Chunqiu."

After he bowed several times to Wuyazi's body, he stood up and walked out of the house.

At this time in the valley, Fang Muye and Su Xinghe were sitting in different places waiting, without talking to each other.

Fang Muye sat under a big pine tree, listening to the sound of the wind and the rustling of the pine trees around him, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Su Xinghe sat in front of the bluestone chessboard, looking at the chessboard, as if he was replaying the game, but his occasional glances towards the wooden house revealed that he was clearly not focused here.

Seeing Duan Yu walking out of the wooden house, Su Xinghe couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

Duan Yu walked up to Fang Muye, bowed, and said, "Master, Master Wuyazi has accepted Yu'er as his disciple."

He saw Fang Muye smile and nod, then turned to Su Xinghe, bowed and said, "Duan Yu greets senior brother."

Su Xinghe glanced and saw that Duan Yu was wearing his master's jewel ring on his finger. He knew what was going on and couldn't help feeling sad and happy. When he heard Duan Yu call Fang Muye "Master", although he was confused, he was concerned about his master's safety and put it aside for the time being.

He bowed to Duan Yu and said in a trembling voice: "Su Xinghe greets Junior Brother, Junior Brother, Master?"

Duan Yu replied sadly, "Master has passed away."

Su Xinghe had expected this to happen, but he still couldn't help but burst into tears, calling out, "Master!" Then he took Xu Zhu's hand and said, "Junior brother, please follow me in."

Duan Yu glanced at Fang Muye, then followed Su Xinghe through the door and into the wooden house.

Although Fang Muye was living outside the house, with his current level of cultivation, he could still hear clearly the conversation in the wooden house as long as they didn't deliberately lower their voices.

Duan Yu and Su Xinghe talked in the wooden house for a long time before they walked out hand in hand.

Su Xinghe bowed deeply to Fang Muye and said, "I am Su Xinghe, meeting Mr. Fang."

Just now in the wooden house, Su Xinghe had asked Duan Yu about the situation. Although Duan Yu was the last disciple of his late master Wuyazi and now the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, he had not left his original sect, the Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi Sect, and had another master, Mr. Fang. That was why Su Xinghe treated Fang Muye with more courtesy.

Fang Muye also understood this, so he bowed in return and said with a smile, "Mr. Congbian, there is no need to be polite. Let's just talk about our own matters."

Next, Su Xinghe and Duan Yu took care of Wuyazi's funeral and buried him in this valley.

On the second day, Su Xinghe escorted Fang Muye and Duan Yu to the pavilion in the bamboo forest. Duan Yu said, "Brother, just send them here."

Su Xinghe said, "Okay, Master, when you are fully prepared, send someone to inform me so that I can lure the traitor Ding Chunqiu here as planned."

After all, Xingxiu Sea is Ding Chunqiu's base. If they attack there, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of eradicating him.

So Su Xinghe and Duan Yu discussed and decided that Duan Yu would first obey Wuyazi's last wishes and learn martial arts from his uncle. After he mastered the skills, Su Xinghe would lure Ding Chunqiu from Xingxiu Sea by using the Xiaoyao Sect's magical skills secrets, and then the two of them would work together to kill Ding Chunqiu.

After saying goodbye to Su Xinghe, Fang Muye and Duan Yu set off for Suzhou.

On the way, Fang Muye deliberately explored the depth of Duan Yu's martial arts skills.

The power accumulated in Duan Yu's body now is equivalent to the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Great Zhoutian, and he is even only one step away from the perfection of the middle stage of the Great Zhoutian.

However, Duan Yu suddenly obtained Wuyazi's magical skills of more than 70 years for no reason. The internal strength in his body increased sharply, but he was still unable to use it well. The internal strength he could use at this time was less than half of what he had.

Fortunately, with Fang Muye's careful instruction, in just a few days, Duan Yu will be able to circulate the internal energy in his body as he wishes, as if he were using his arms and fingers, and integrate it with the martial arts he has learned. By then, he will be able to fully enter the category of a top master.

Fang Muye also taught the "Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual" to Duan Yu. Now that he has sufficient internal strength, he is able to use this magical skill.

They rode at full speed all the way, and at the hour of Youpai on that day, they finally arrived in Suzhou city. They went straight to Yuelai Inn, where they stayed with Duan Zhengchun and others the last time they came.

When Fang Muye and Duan Yu separated from Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng, the father and son, they agreed to meet here in Suzhou.

Fang Muye and Duan Yu were both extraordinary people. They were very generous when they came last time. The waiter still remembered them and greeted them warmly, saying, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Duan, you two are here."

Fang Muye asked loudly, "Have the two Mr. Xiao come to stay?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "The two Mr. Xiaos came to stay here two days ago, but they leave early and come back late every day. They are not at the inn now, but it seems they will be back soon."

Fang Muye knew that they must have gone out to get information, so he ordered, "Okay, go and get two upper rooms first, and then prepare a table of wine and food, and send them to the rooms when the two Xiao masters come back."

Duan Yu took out a piece of silver and handed it to the waiter, who immediately went to make arrangements happily.

About half an hour later, Fang Muye, who was sitting in the room, heard some movement in the yard, and heard footsteps, two heavy and two light. Four people were walking upstairs. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter's voice came from the door: "Master Fang, Master Duan, the two Masters Xiao are here."

Duan Yu stood up and walked over to open the door. He saw two waiters carrying wine and food, as well as Xiao Yuanshan and his son. He immediately said happily, "Elder Xiao, Junior Brother, you're back."

When Xiao Yuanshan and his son saw Duan Yu, they also showed joy on their faces. After greeting Duan Yu, they walked into the room and greeted Fang Muye.

After the waiter had served the food and drinks and left, the four of them sat around the table. Fang Muye then asked, "Brother Xiao, have you heard any news about Murong Bo in the past two days?"

Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng sighed at the same time. Xiao Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Alas, after Feng'er and I arrived in Suzhou City, we asked the people where the 'Yanziwu Canhe Manor' was, but after asking many people in succession, no one knew."

Fang Muye knew that Yanziwu Chanhe Manor was located deep in the clouds and waters of Taihu Lake, thirty miles west of Suzhou City. However, the waterways on the lake were crisscrossed and winding, and the lotus flowers and water caltrops were ever-changing. If one did not know the way, it would be extremely difficult to find it.

Then Xiao Yuanshan continued, "We had no choice but to capture a constable in the city who knew the address. We first used force to force him, and then promised him a large sum of money before he took us on a boat to Yanziwu, deep in the Taihu Lake."

"In the past two days, Feng'er and I have sneaked into Chanhe Manor every night to investigate, but there is no one else in the manor except an old woman and some servants, not to mention the old thief Murong Bo."

Xiao Feng continued, "There is nothing unusual about the people in Chanhe Manor. My father and I also searched the hidden cellar in the manor, but found nothing. I guess the old villain Murong is no longer in Yanziwu."

Xiao Yuanshan's expression changed, and he finally said bitterly: "Murong Bo must have heard the news and hid deeper. The world is so big that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to find him. Now we can only use ruthless and shady tricks."
