Before Afei could even make a move after running out of Li Garden, he was stopped by Old Man Sun, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

It turns out that Lin Xian'er had plotted against Li Xunhuan, sending him to Shaolin Temple just like in the original story. The dangers along the way were unimaginable.

Old Man Sun could tell that Li Xunhuan was the only person in the martial arts world he could trust now.

He himself is most likely no match for Shangguan Jin Hong, so the only option is to leave him to Li Xunhuan or Yang Ke to deal with.

But Yang Ke's martial arts skills are so high, and Hidden Sword Manor is full of talented people. If Yang Ke has ambitions, it would be a disaster for the martial arts world.

So all he could do was encourage A-Fei to cheer up, which was a way of helping Li Xunhuan. As for what happened next, they would have to figure it out themselves.

Fortunately, without the Xingyun Manor's restraints, Li Xunhuan had the strength to kill the Five Poisons Child and clear his name with A Fei's help.

"The Celestial Mystery Elder?"

After Afei left, before Old Man Sun could leave with Sun Xiaohong, they were stopped by someone.

The two people who appeared before the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets were Shangguan Jin Hong and Jing Wuming. Shangguan Jin Hong had come specifically to see the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets today.

"My dear granddaughter, go over to that young man, I'll be right there."

The old man Tianji was on high alert, but unexpectedly he suddenly sensed another aura and found Yang Ke in the blink of an eye. Since he was going to fight Shangguan Jin Hong, he sent Sun Xiaohong to Yang Ke's side.

"You must be Yang Ke, the newly crowned number one on the Weapon Ranking, the Sword God of Falling Leaves and Flying Flowers. Please take care of my granddaughter for a while. Thank you."

Old Man Sun clenched his fist and thanked Yang Ke. He turned to look at Shangguan Jin Hong, whose steps were as firm as a rock, and who was no longer being prepared by him. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but still took out his Heavenly Secret Staff.

His Heavenly Secret Staff is usually hidden inside a bamboo stick; those who don't know better might mistake it for an old man's cane.

"Of course, senior, please go all out."

Yang Ke nodded, placing his hands behind his back to indicate that he had no intention of making a move.

"Wuming, you wait here."

When Tianji Laoren was ranked first on the Weapon Ranking, Shangguan Jin Hong had already shown a willingness to challenge him, let alone now that he is ranked above him.

With a sense of superiority and after seeing the situation of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, Shangguan Jin Hong felt that his chances of winning were over 70%, so he naturally did not need to join forces with Jing Wuming.

As for Yang Ke, Shangguan Jin Hong understood the pride of being number one, and he himself was also a proud person, so he was naturally not worried that Yang Ke would make a move.

Silently taking out his twin dragon and phoenix rings, Shangguan Jin Hong began to gather his strength, waiting for the Heavenly Mystery Elder to make his move.

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets suddenly tensed his muscles and then swung his Heavenly Secret Staff to attack Shangguan Jin Hong.

The Heavenly Secret Staff, also known as the Ruyi Staff, is a weapon that can be used as a short staff or stick. In addition, the Heavenly Secret Elder has profound internal strength, and the power of each move is also quite astonishing.

However, Shangguan Jin Hong's double rings can restrain the opponent and can also be used from both sides, making it both offensive and defensive.

For the first fifty moves, the two were evenly matched, and even in terms of the burst of internal energy, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets appeared more powerful.

Unfortunately, after fifty moves, it was clear to everyone, including Jing Wuming, Yang Ke, and even Sun Xiaohong, that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was truly getting old and lacked the strength to continue.

One force can overcome ten techniques; if you can't even muster the strength to wield it, how can you possibly unleash the power of this short stick-like weapon?

Shangguan Jin Hong was naturally in no hurry. The higher his chances of winning, the more steadfast he became, enduring the Heavenly Mystery Elder's relentless attacks, his only aim being to wear down Old Man Sun's stamina.

After a hundred moves, when the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets revealed an opening, Shangguan Jin Hong naturally unleashed his Dragon and Phoenix Rings, striking Old Man Sun in the chest and sending him flying backward.

"Sword God Yang Ke, we will meet again."

"go!"

Shangguan Jin Hong showed no interest in fighting. After defeating the old man of the Heavenly Secrets, Sun, he waved his hand and called Jing Wuming to leave with the Money Gang experts who were watching from the sidelines.

He wanted to defeat Li Xunhuan, to wear down Yang Ke's patience while he waited, and then use that momentum to launch a decisive battle.

When Shangguan Jin Hong fought Tianji Laoren, Li Xunhuan was also rescued from Shaolin by A Fei and returned to Baoding Prefecture together.

However, Ah Fei was in a bad mood because of Lin Xian'er, and his sword swings were not as fast as before.

Li Xunhuan could only offer helpless advice, but he himself was also a loser in love and couldn't help A Fei get over it either.

Lin Xian'er kept appearing in front of A Fei, seemingly implying to him that his sword and his confidence were worthless in her eyes.

For several months, Li Xunhuan could only take care of Afei from the sidelines until Shangguan Jin Hong came to his door.

"It seems your good brother can't help you."

Shangguan Jin Hong smiled and said to Li Xunhuan, glancing at the dejected A Fei beside him.

His meaning was clear: although I can beat you, I won't refuse to let Jing Wuming help you, since your sworn brother A Fei can't help you.

"No, I believe Ah Fei."

"Come on, I know you've been waiting for a long time, and so have I."

Li Xunhuan took out a flying dagger and looked at Shangguan Jin Hong.

He has actually wanted to defeat Yang Ke again for the past ten years, but he didn't have the opportunity before. Now, Shangguan Jin Hong is the best whetstone for him.

He needs to continue the legendary story of Li Xunhuan's flying dagger never missing its mark so that he can once again wield this dagger in front of Yang Ke.

Li Xunhuan led Shangguan Jin Hong to another battlefield, but A Fei, who was still in a daze, drew his sword and charged at Jing Wuming after seeing him.

Here at Hidden Sword Manor.

"You clearly could beat Shangguan Jin Hong, so why didn't you save my grandfather?"

Sun Xiaohong complained tearfully, her voice tinged with resentment.

That day, after being injured by Shangguan Jin Hong's Dragon and Phoenix Rings, the Heavenly Mystery Elder died soon after.

After burying the old man Tianji, Yang Ke took him and Sun Xiaohong back to Cangjian Manor.

"Your grandfather lost the contest, and besides, he had already guessed this outcome, hadn't he?"

Yang Ke calmly replied to Sun Xiaohong, but inwardly he was already waiting for Li Xunhuan to arrive.

He had already received news that Li Xunhuan and Shangguan Jin Hong were having a decisive battle at Li Garden, and the result should be out by now.

"Humph!"

At this time, Sun Xiaohong was still a feisty young girl. She was depressed because of the death of Old Man Sun, which is why she caused trouble for Yang Ke. He understood her feelings.

The day after Yang Ke returned to Hidden Sword Manor, news began to circulate in the martial arts world that Li Xunhuan had defeated Shangguan Jin Hong.

The duel between Jing Wuming and A Fei ended in a draw, but after Shangguan Jin Hong died, Jing Wuming took Shangguan Jin Hong's body and left Li Garden, thus disbanding the Money Gang.

Unbeknownst to everyone, three days after Li Xunhuan's victory, he and A Fei appeared on the back mountain of Cangjian Manor.

"You came."

Yang Ke and Guo Songyang sensed the presence of Li Xunhuan and A Fei, and after calling everyone away, they appeared together in the back mountain.

"Yes, I want to see how big the gap is now compared to before."

Upon seeing Yang Ke again, Li Xunhuan no longer harbored any thoughts of victory or defeat.

"it is good."

Yang Ke nodded.

Afei remained silent for a moment, but still stood at a distance to watch the duel with Guo Songyang.

In fact, when the two faced each other, Li Xunhuan knew he couldn't win. Even A Fei, as a swordsman, felt somewhat ashamed when facing Yang Ke.
