A genius girl with her own space

The old man paused, took a sip of water and continued

"I saw you exploring this mountain. You are so bold. The Sect Master is not here today. If he was, he would have discovered you long ago. It was me who blocked your tracks so that the other Peak Masters didn't find you. Tell me your purpose!"

After hearing what the old man said, the four of them looked at each other.

"Old man, since you saw us coming here, why didn't you expose us? You also said that you saved our master. But you were suppressed by people with ulterior motives. Then you know who harmed Jiang Qiqi and who injured our master? Who is this cancer?" Qiqi asked calmly.

"Girl, you're in a good mood. I like you. You're better than Jiang Qiqi. Now that I see you, I understand even more clearly that you're here for revenge. If I hadn't discovered you, you would have been captured by now. I sensed that the Sect Master had just returned, and he would have discovered you soon.

You're lucky to have come to my place. Don't worry, drink your tea; he won't know you're here.

I've been investigating who was responsible for that sensational incident for years. I've only just now figured it out. I never imagined a happy event would turn into a sad one, and they'd hold a grudge for so many years, even sending people to suppress the Yanshan Sect's disciples.

I only just realized they were seeking revenge. They were the ones who caused the injuries to Jiang Qiqi and the leader of the Yanshan Sect.

I haven't seen the Sect Master's eldest disciple in these years. Although the Sect Master said he sent him out on business, if someone goes out for a thousand years and doesn't come back, then he's dead. He's the culprit who murdered Jiang Qiqi. He was killed on the spot.

The leader of the Yanshan Sect also took action. He was the one who assassinated the leader of the Yanshan Sect. Now he sent his disciples to kill the disciples of the Yanshan Sect in Bugong Mountain.

I've found out about this over the years. But his son is also a heinous criminal, having murdered numerous girls. He also robbed merchants and wealthy local businessmen. He even disguised himself as a bandit and robbed escort agencies. This left many agencies unable to pay the fees, leading to their collapse.

Several of us elders have always wanted to bring him down, to make him and his son pay with blood. Killing someone means paying with their life. This is only natural. But we elders are no match for him. We also want to unite with the leader of the Yanshan Sect. We've learned that he hasn't recovered his strength.

The sect leader also sent his disciples to Yandang Mountain. They were unable to penetrate the mountain due to the formation. Several of us elders were watching from the sidelines. If they did, we would have stopped them immediately. We had to save Master Jiang Qiqi's life so that we could unite with him for revenge.

We've been waiting for this day for a long time. Several of us elders have discussed this and decided to take turns patrolling Jingshan Sect to see if anyone is seeking revenge. If that's the Sect Master's enemy, we'll bring him to justice together.

We can't let the entire Jingshan Sect be buried with them and their son. With the exception of the Sect Master's lineage, everyone in the Jingshan Sect is a good person with a conscience. I hope that when you seek revenge, you won't implicate innocent people.

We will also help you to seek revenge and eradicate this lineage of theirs.

This is the map I drew of the mountain where the clan leader lives. Let me show you. The old man took out the map from his arms and handed it to Qiqi. He could tell that the four of them were focusing on this girl.

Qiqi took it and handed it to Zhou Jingze for them to take a look first.

"Old man, how can we trust you? If you team up with the Sect Master and set a trap for us, we'll be dead. You know that the combined strength of the four of us is only equal to yours. Add the Sect Master, and we'll be dead for sure."

"Girl, since you dare to come here, you have made up your mind to fight to the death. You are also confident of victory, you will not fight against stones with eggs. I can also let you rest assured, I will swear. [If I am not sincere in helping you, let me die without a burial place]." The old man had just finished speaking when he felt a surge of energy rising into the sky, and his oath was fulfilled.

If he disobeys, God will punish him.

Qiqi and the other three looked at each other when they saw the oath being formed. No one said anything.

"Old man, I hope that when we attack the Sect Master's mountain, you can help if you can, but if you can't, just watch from a distance. Tell us about the surrounding mountains that are close to the Sect Master, and we can attack together then.

Since they're close to the Sect Master, they can't be clean either. If we want to destroy them, let's destroy them all together. Could you point them out to me? We don't want to kill innocent disciples either. Killing innocent people would also make us feel uneasy.

"Since we're here to investigate, we're here to see if the entire sect is in cahoots with the Sect Master. If so, we'll wipe out the entire sect. If not, we don't want to harm innocent people," Qiqi said.

The old man sighed, "Our Jingshan Sect has a total of seven peaks. The Sect Master occupies the highest peak. His disciple occupies the second peak, right next to his. He is also the Peak Master of that peak. Originally, the Peak Master was his eldest disciple. But after he disappeared, his second disciple became the acting Peak Master. In other words, he is the true Peak Master in name only, but we don't know it."

The rest of us from the Five Peaks are all of one mind, forced into this situation by his son. His son is committing crimes outside. Sooner or later, someone will come to Jingshan Sect to seek revenge. We can't do anything about it, and we can't help him.

We, the five peak masters, have united. We have been secretly investigating what has happened over the years, hoping for the almighty to come and avenge us. We will help them together and talk to them about the Jingshan Sect, saying that they are not all accomplices to the evil.

If you don't let our people go, then kill our peak masters and leave the disciples of our peaks alone. They are innocent. I've given you a map with the master's peak and his disciples' peaks marked out. If you want to destroy them, destroy them all together. I don't know when you want to act."

"We still need to discuss this with Master. Our Master is now well and his strength has been restored. If the Jingshan Sect sends people to harass us, let them go and never return. We must also respect Master's opinion and eliminate this cancer as quickly as possible. I also hope that you will send someone to keep an eye on his son.

We'll do it here, and I hope you'll kill his son as well. His son deserved to die long ago. He murdered so many young girls, he deserved it."

"Alright, I'll send reliable disciples to keep an eye on them tomorrow. As you take action, I'll signal them to do the same. If you want to take them alive, we'll capture them and let you do whatever you want with them."

"Old man, we will take our leave now. We will go back to study the two mountains and report to Master. We will then inform you."

After Qiqi finished speaking, the four of them stood up and wanted to leave.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered if you walk like this? Come with me! I have a cave leading out of the mountain. The Sect Master doesn't even know about it; it was dug out by the previous elder. Originally, the Sect Master belonged to him, but a few of us were sent out on a mission, and when we came back, the Sect Master had been replaced.

There's a rumor going around in the sect that a former elder attempted to murder the previous leader, hoping to become the new leader himself. He was killed on the spot by the current leader, and the old leader is now paralyzed. He can't speak, and his hands can't write. The leader also won't let us see him, and if we do, he has to be present. The leader passed away not long before this happened."
