The Young Swordsman of Dalu

When Murong Bo arrived at Qingyuan Palace, Murong Xuan quickly returned to his frenzied state. He shouted and yelled with disheveled hair, trying to grab Murong Bo with his dirty hands. Soon, several eunuchs blocked Murong Bo's way and pushed Murong Xuan away.

"Brother, you've been pretending for so long!" Murong Bo directly exposed Murong Xuan's deception.

Murong Xuan didn't want to be exposed so soon, so he continued to act aggressively towards everyone.

"Bring Wang Xiao to him!" Murong Bo said.

Wang Xiao was dragged away by two imperial guards and thrown in front of Murong Xuan.

"Wang Xiao! Tell me, is your master insane or not?" Murong Bo approached Wang Xiao and pointed at Murong Xuan, asking.

"Your Majesty! He has indeed gone mad!" Wang Xiaoxin said in a trembling voice.

"I'll ask you one more time, is he insane or not?" Murong Bo's eyes widened in anger.

Wang Xiao was so frightened that she fell to the ground, not knowing how to answer. She cried and asked, "Are you crazy or not?"

Murong Xuan's disdainful gaze shot through Wang Xiao's disheveled hair, and Wang Xiao was startled, knowing that he was doomed.

"He's been faking his madness! Your Majesty, please spare this servant for the sake of my loyalty to you!" Wang Xiao pleaded.

"A servant cannot serve two masters! You betrayed your master to save your own life, how hateful! You are disloyal to me! You deserve to die! Guards, take him away and behead him!" Murong Bo said mercilessly.

Murong Xuan watched as the howling Wang Xiao was dragged away by the imperial guards, and his heart was filled with fear.

“What are you waiting for, Your Majesty? Are you waiting for Tuoba Hongrui to come and rescue you? I just received intelligence that Tuoba Hongrui incited the soldiers to rebel, but General Han Jue suppressed it. He can’t come.” Murong Bo said to Murong Xuan.

"Murong Bo, I want you dead! I, Murong Xuan, am the emperor of the Northern Dynasty. You stole my throne, and I will kill you!" Murong Xuan said, reaching out his palm to attack Murong Bo, who dodged to the side.

"Hurry and protect the emperor!" Eunuch Liu shouted.

The imperial guards rushed forward and subdued Murong Xuan on the ground.

"Murong Bo, the emperor is mine! He was left to me by my grandmother! Give him back to me!" Murong Xuan cried out as he lay on the ground.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Eunuch Liu asked.

"Place him under house arrest in Qingyuan Palace!" Murong Bo said.

"Your Majesty! Letting him go will bring endless trouble!" Eunuch Liu advised.

“We are, after all, brothers, blood is thicker than water. Even the Empress Dowager did nothing to him. He is, after all, my brother,” Murong Bo said.

"Keep a close watch on Qingyuan Palace. No one except the eunuchs and maids serving here is allowed to approach! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!" said Eunuch Liu.

Murong Bo returned to Zhengqian Palace, feeling very down.

Since entering the palace, he has been in a state of tension every day, fearing that if he relaxes his guard even slightly, he will be plotted against and utterly destroyed.

"Mother is right, being the emperor is no human job, it's too tiring!" Murong Bo cursed himself a thousand times in his heart. Why did he come to Yancheng? Couldn't he have stayed in the far north?

"Grandmother! You have ruined your grandson!" Murong Bo said sorrowfully.

At this moment, Jin Yuanying, far away in the far north, sneezed several times.

"Who is insulting me?" Kim Won-young asked.

“Who dares to scold you! We were freezing outside those few days!” Ji Wuchang said.

"This valley is really nice, much better than Cuiyun Peak. The environment here is so pleasant," Jin Yuanying said.

“Senior Jin, you and my master will live in this valley from now on. The environment here is suitable for you,” Wenfei said.

"You scared the old man to death, you brat!" Ji Wuchang said.

“Ever since you fell from up there, your master has been obsessed. He insisted on coming down to find you, saying he wanted to see your body, dead or alive. That’s why I came down with him to look for you. We two old guys almost died here,” Jin Yuanying said with a smile.

"Wenfei thanks Master and Senior Jin for your concern. I originally wanted to go up Cuiyun Peak as soon as possible to bring you down, but Brother Mang insisted that I enter the cave, which allowed me to obtain unparalleled martial arts skills," Wenfei said.

"What kind of unparalleled martial arts are you talking about? Show us your skills and let us see them for ourselves," Jin Yuanying said.

"I noticed you were much faster going up the mountain than before, and your internal strength must have increased quite a bit too, right?" Ji Wuchang said happily.

"Master has excellent eyesight! My inner strength has greatly increased thanks to Brother Python. That day, when I fell from above, Brother Python's blood dripped into my mouth while I was unconscious, and I drank it." Wenfei said, stroking the snow python.

"It seems my master was right; drinking the blood of the snow python can enhance one's internal strength," Ji Wuchang said.

"Yes!" Wenfei nodded.

"Where did you obtain this unparalleled martial arts skill?" Ji Wuchang asked.

"I'll take you to see!" Wen Fei led Ji Wuchang and Jin Yuanying into the cave, where the snow python was still guarding the entrance.

Wenfei quickly led them to the depths of the cave and pointed to the pictures on the cave wall, saying, "These are the ones."

Ji Wuchang walked up to the stone coffin and asked, "Whose coffin is this?"

"I don't know, but the skill on the wall must have been left by this senior," Wenfei said.

Ji Wuchang approached the cave wall and carefully examined the moves on it. He was somewhat familiar with the moves on the wall. Suddenly, he walked to the stone coffin, opened it, and a skeleton was revealed in front of him.

"Master, what's wrong? What did you discover?" Wenfei asked, stepping forward.

Ji Wuchang observed the skeleton for a while, then looked up at the cave wall. He immediately knew who the skeleton belonged to.

"Old man, stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me quickly!" Jin Yuanying urged from the side.

"If I'm not mistaken, this skeleton should be my grandmaster, Daoist Wuliang." Ji Wuchang was overjoyed.

"Master! What exactly is going on?" Wenfei asked, puzzled.

“Back then, my master, Daoist Qingyuan, traveled almost all over the world in search of his master. That’s when I met him and became his disciple,” Ji Wuchang said.

"How did you figure out he was your advisor?" Jin Yuanying asked.

“The moves on this wall are somewhat similar to my master’s moves, and they are also related. These are Taoist moves,” Ji Wuchang said.

“Perhaps it could be other Taoist schools as well!” Wenfei said.

"Look at this move, it's called 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun,' a move my master often used. And this move, 'Walking on the Waves,' I'm so familiar with my master's moves," Ji Wuchang said excitedly, pointing to the moves on the wall.

"How did he end up here?" Wenfei asked.

“My master told me that his master was determined to find a way to achieve immortality in the far north. However, due to some matters, he was delayed. After the matter was settled, he bid farewell to his master and went to travel the world. He was gone for more than ten years. His master was worried about him and kept looking for him. He never expected that his master would actually come to the far north and find such a wonderful place,” Ji Wuchang said excitedly.

“Since these are our master’s remains, Master, let’s give him a proper burial,” Wenfei said.

“It’s fate! This is fate, Wenfei! Why did you have to meet someone else? This is fate in the dark,” Jin Yuanying said.

“Ah Ying is absolutely right! It was fate that brought you to your grandmaster. Wenfei, take his remains back to Wuliang Mountain and bury them next to my master Qingyuan’s grave, so that the two of them can be reunited in another world,” Ji Wuchang said.

“Yes, Master, I will take the bones back to Wuliang Mountain and bury them with Master.” Wenfei said.

“We should give this martial art a name. Let’s call it the Boundless Skill,” Ji Wuchang said.

"Master! The Boundless Technique is wonderful!" Wenfei said happily.
