The Great Song Dynasty Swordsman's Tale: Heroes rise and fall with the times, once you enter the martial arts world, time flies. Imperial ambitions are discussed in jest, life is but a fleeting dream. Sword in hand, riding through the rain of ghosts, white bones piled high, birds startled into flight. Worldly affairs are like tides, people like water, only alas, how many return from the martial arts world? Chapter 1: The Old Demon Wreaks Havoc in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the White-Browed Hero's Life Hangs in the Balance. Night falls, and the plaque prominently displays the three characters "Kaifeng Prefecture." Bao Zheng has resigned and returned to his hometown, accompanied by Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu. Gongsun Ce teaches at a private school, contributing his remaining energy. The Southern Hero Zhan Zhao and the heroine Ding Yuehua return to Yujie Village, living a life of leisure. Inside the Kaifeng Prefecture government office, a man sits on a high-ranking official's chair, his face filled with worry, his brows furrowed, muttering, "What should I do!" Just then, Xue Ba rushes in from outside. "Reporting to Lord Yan, General Xu San has returned to the prefecture." "Quickly, invite him in." Hearing of Xu Liang's return, Lord Yan finally smiles. A white figure flashed, and Xu Liang was already upon him. Lord Yan rose and took Xu Liang's hands, saying, "Little Liangzi! You're finally back! Something terrible has happened in the capital." "My lord, don't worry, tell me slowly." The newcomer was none other than the renowned White-Browed Hero Xu Liang. Lord Yan sighed deeply and said, "The Imperial Seal is lost. The Emperor has given us ten days to retrieve it. Little Liangzi, I'm so worried!" Xu Liang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Damn it! Who dared to do this, daring to mess with me? Lord Yan, do you have any leads?" "Alas, I was just waiting for you to return so we could go to the palace together to investigate the scene. This matter must be conducted in secrecy; there must be no large-scale search. This is a matter of great importance!" Lord Yan whispered his instructions. "Understood, Lord Yan. Let's go to the scene immediately." Xu Liang accompanied Lord Yan out of the study. Just then, the clanging of swords and blades echoed from the front yard. Xu Liang frowned, thinking, "Could it be an assassin?" "Dong Ping, Xue Ba, Li Gui, Lou Qing!" Xu Liang called out. "Your subordinates are here!" The four replied in unison. "You four protect Lord Yan. I'll go check the front yard." With that, Xu Liang used a swift, agile movement, disappearing from sight. The battle was fierce; over a dozen soldiers lay dead. Xu Liang surveyed the battlefield. Laughing King Bai Chun was wielding a large staff, locked in a fierce fight with a man in white. Xu Liang shouted, "Stop fighting! You bastards! Let's talk this out first!" Upon hearing Xu Liang's voice, Bai Chun leaped out of the circle, pointing his staff at the man in white, saying, "Young Master will deal with you later." The man in white snorted coldly, standing with his sword drawn. "Third Uncle, they came in and started killing indiscriminately, look…" Bai Chun explained the situation to Xu Liang, pointing to the dead and wounded soldiers on the ground. "Bai Chun, step aside for now and conserve your energy. Judging from the situation tonight, there will definitely be a fierce battle. I'll go over and find out the details. We can't fight a muddled battle!" Xu Liang said as he walked to the front of the ranks and raised his voice, asking: "Which leader is in charge on the other side? Please come out and answer. We can clarify things before we start fighting." "Haha... Good, here I come!" Amidst a burst of wild laughter, a dark figure gracefully descended from a five-zhang-tall sycamore tree, landing silently on its feet. It was none other than the long-lost peerless lightness skill, "Spiral Nine Shadows." Xu Liang was startled, realizing something was amiss; a fierce battle was inevitable at the Kaifeng Prefecture today. Xu Liang stared intently. The newcomer appeared to be around ninety years old, with an oval face, pointed chin, triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a toad-like mouth. A white beard covered his chest, his temples bulged, his cheeks jutted out, and his eyes were like lightning. Martial artists knew that the brighter the eyes, the higher the skill. This man was over ten zhang tall, dressed in a blue robe, exuding an imposing aura that stretched for a hundred paces. The white-robed man and the other three bowed respectfully. "Master, why have you intervened? Didn't we agree that the four of us brothers would massacre the Kaifeng Prefecture? These insignificant characters have troubled you with your presence." "Xiaotian!" "Don't underestimate Kaifeng Prefecture. Xu Liang and his men have made a name for themselves and roamed the martial world; they must possess extraordinary skills. It's best to be careful. Since Xu Liang wants to die knowing the truth, I'll grant his wish. You all step back." "Yes, we obey Master's orders." The four men in white and the others took three steps back. The old man in green walked up to Xu Liang as he spoke. "You must be the famous Xu Liang, General Xu the Third?" "I am indeed Xu Liang from Shanxi. I am unworthy of the title 'famous.' May I ask your honorable name, senior? What brings you to Kaifeng Prefecture?" Xu Liang had always been so composed, no matter what. The old man laughed and stared at Xu Liang, saying, "My humble name is not worth mentioning. Compared to General Xu the Third, I am a nobody. Let's not talk about it." "Senior is quite the joker. Since you refuse to bestow a name upon me, I, a man from Shanxi, will take the liberty of guessing." "If I'm not mistaken, you were just using the long-lost Spiral Nine Shadows technique!" "Good eye! As expected of the White-Browed Hero Xu Liang, your insight is truly sharp." The old man gestured with his beard and smiled slightly. "You are none other than the infamous Peng Hai, the Ten Thousand Mile Soul Chaser, Peng Gongliang, renowned throughout the martial world." Upon hearing Xu Liang's words, Bai Chun and the other officials from Kaifeng Prefecture were shocked, realizing that the Kaifeng Prefecture government office would be stained with blood tonight. "Very well, as expected of a rising star in the martial world, I am indeed Peng Hai. Xu Liang, let's speak frankly! I've come here today for revenge. My friend, the Flying Sword Immortal Zhu Liang, died at your hands. Back then, I wasn't in the Central Plains and couldn't attend the Three Temples Trial Conference in time. Later, you went to the Three Gates to burn down the Bixia Palace, forcing the Martial Saint Yu He and the Golden Lamp Swordsman Xia Suiliang to their deaths. Did these people die in vain?" "Tonight I will massacre Kaifeng Prefecture, then first wipe out the Emei Sect, then destroy Shaolin and the Arctic Island. Xu Liang, do you understand now?!" Just as Xu Liang was about to explain, a white shadow flashed, and Bai Xiaotian leaped to Peng Hai's side, loudly proclaiming, "Master, just let me send them to the Western Paradise." Peng Hai nodded, saying, "Xiaotian, be careful." Just as Bai Xiaotian was about to fight, a man dressed entirely in black walked past him. "Senior brother, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Leave Xu Liang to me." He approached Xu Liang, but before Xu Liang could even raise his hand, another man stepped forward. This man was none other than Zhong Lin, the Flying Little Protector of the Sun and Moon. Zhong Lin, wielding the Five Metal Dragon Tiger Staff, shouted, "Hey, you audacious madman, declare your name and we'll fight again!" The man in black chuckled, "I am Mo Wuming, known in the martial world as the Ghost-Seeing Sorrow, the Soul-Chasing Swordsman. Prepare to die!" "In the blink of an eye, Mo Wuming thrust his sword, the first strike of the Soul-Chasing, Life-Taking Sword, like countless stars illuminating the target. The wonder of this sword lay in its unpredictable nature, relentlessly targeting over a dozen vital points on the body, its destination unknown. Zhong Lin felt as if his entire body was surrounded by swords, unable to distinguish the real from the fake. In a panic, he could only lightly touch the ground with his toes and leap backward, simultaneously using his Five Metal Dragon Tiger Staff to protect himself. However, he still could not escape the attack. A gash appeared on Zhong Lin's chest, bleeding profusely. Zhong Lin screamed and collapsed to the ground. Xu Liang quickly leaped forward and carried Zhong Lin back to his unit. "Someone, carry him to the backyard and get a doctor to treat his wound." "Laughing King Bai Chun wielded his great staff to fight Mo Wuming. To be fair, Bai Chun's skill was no less than Xu Liang's; the only difference was his experience in real combat. At this moment, Bai Chun wielded his staff, unleashing the Thirty-Six Styles of the Heavenly Gang Staff Technique, wishing he could smash Mo Wuming to death in one blow. Mo Wuming used the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Sword Technique, 'Everywhere is a Home, Everywhere is a Home, A Bright Moon Shines Over the Central Plains,' his swordplay was flawless. After thirty rounds, sweat beaded on Bai Chun's forehead, and he was forced to retreat step by step by Mo Wuming. Seeing the situation was dire, Xu Liang drew his Golden Silk Ring Saber, preparing to replace Bai Chun, when suddenly a flash of white light appeared, and the Soul-Hooking Swordsman Bai Xiaotian blocked Xu Liang's path with his sword. 'Xu Liang, I'll accompany you a few times.'" At the same time, a scream rang out. Sadly, Bai Chun, the Laughing Heavenly King, was pierced through the chest by Mo Wuming's sword and died instantly. Xu Liang nearly fainted from the pain, but this was a battlefield, and there was no time to think. Xu Liang unleashed a "Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies" move, his blade ascending to strike Bai Xiaotian's neck. Bai Xiaotian ducked, dodging the attack, and then used a "Pointing the Way to the Immortal" move, sweeping his sword at Xu Liang's legs. Xu Liang leaped into the air, his golden-ringed broadsword "Splitting Mount Hua" aimed at Bai Xiaotian's head. Bai Xiaotian staggered back three steps, dodging the attack. The two exchanged blows and engaged in combat. Xu Liang's skills were undeniable; he had pacified mountains and destroyed strongholds, repeatedly achieving military merit. He was undoubtedly a pillar of Kaifeng Prefecture, a beam supporting the sea, and had never suffered a defeat since his birth. But Xu Liang had met a formidable opponent tonight. Bai Xiaotian's Sixty-Four Styles of Soul-Hooking Sword Technique was unpredictable and ever-changing, truly elusive! In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over sixty blows, and sweat beaded on Xu Liang's forehead. Xu Liang raised his hand and said, "I'll treat you to some glutinous rice cake!" Three cold lights shot straight towards Bai Xiaotian. Bai Xiaotian snorted coldly, "Xu Liang, your martial arts are lacking, so you resort to hidden weapons. It's truly laughable." Bai Xiaotian lowered his head, turned to the side, and stretched out his left hand. Two of the black jade flying stones missed their mark, while he caught one. Xu Liang swung his arms, and three hidden arrows shot towards Bai Xiaotian. Xu Liang affectionately called his hidden swords "glutinous rice strips." Bai Xiaotian grinned maliciously, "Despicable tactics." Bai Xiaotian waved his left hand, and the Black Jade Flying Stone knocked away one of the hidden arrows. With two swift strokes of his right sword, he knocked the remaining two to the ground. Xu Liang fired three more golden darts at Bai Xiaotian, who swung his sword, sending them sprawling to the ground. Xu Liang bent his knees, lowered his head, and faced away from Bai Xiaotian. He pressed the spring of the Tight-Backed Bow-Type Crossbow, and with a click, an arrow shot straight at Bai Xiaotian. The Tight-Backed Bow-Type Crossbow was Xu Liang's most powerful hidden weapon, shooting towards Bai Xiaotian's face like a meteor. Seeing Xu Liang lower his head, Bai Xiaotian knew a hidden weapon was about to be launched. He quickly threw his sword to the ground, suddenly arching his body backward, his feet firmly planted on the ground – a move called "Iron Bridge." The arrow flew past. Bai Xiaotian grabbed his sword and laughed loudly, "Ugly devil Xu Liang, show me what else you've got! Tonight, I'll make you die a worthy death!" Xu Liang groaned in despair, thinking, "This is bad." He slung his golden-ringed broadsword over his shoulder, drew his Azure Dragon Sword, and unleashed the Demon Mountain Sword Technique. This technique, taught to him by the Flying Demoness Long Yunfeng, was incredibly fierce. Xu Liang's Azure Dragon Sword danced up and down, like a net of swords enveloping Bai Xiaotian's vital points. Bai Xiaotian parried and countered each move, adapting to each strike, but after thirty rounds, Xu Liang still couldn't defeat him. Xu Liang inwardly groaned, calculating that if he couldn't win, Kaifeng Prefecture was doomed, and none of the people behind him would survive. The more anxious he became, the more he sweated, and the more flustered he became. Before he knew it, Bai Xiaotian had kicked him to the ground with a combination of sword and foot. Bai Xiaotian sneered, "White Eyebrows, you're right here!" And thrust his sword towards Xu Liang's throat. Xu Liang closed his eyes, thinking, "My life is over!" To find out what happens to Xu Liang, please read the next chapter. Chapter Two: The Handsome Young Man Rescues Bai Xiaotian, Peng Gongliang Flees Kaifeng Prefecture. The previous chapter described how Bai Xiaotian thrust his sword towards Xu Liang's throat, causing the heroes of Kaifeng Prefecture, young and old, to close their eyes, unable to bear the sight, silently thinking, "It's over, this is it." You might ask, why didn't they rush to his aid? It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't. Firstly, Bai Xiaotian's swordsmanship was too fast; there wasn't enough time to intervene. Secondly, they lacked the skill. Just at this critical moment, a loud "clang" was heard. "Oh my god, who's attacking us from behind?" Bai Xiaotian shouted. The heroes opened their eyes and saw Bai Xiaotian's sword lying on the ground. Xu Liang, seeing this, quickly did a somersault, then landed on the spot with a "carp leap." Their hearts pounded. Bai Xiaotian picked up the sword from the ground, looked around, and shouted, "Which bastard dares to attack from the shadows? If you have the guts, don't hide, come out here!" Before he finished speaking, a "thud" was heard, and Bai Xiaotian stumbled back three or four steps, then plopped down on the ground. At the same time, Xu Liang and the others felt a gust of wind from a palm strike around them. "Hundred-Step Divine Fist, Shadowless Palm!" Peng Hai looked around and shouted, "Since old friends are here, come out!" Under the moonlight, a figure slowly walked in. The newcomer had a fair and smooth face with sharp, cold features. Thick eyebrows were slightly raised in a rebellious manner, and beneath long, slightly curled eyelashes, dark, deep, icy eyes appeared wild and unrestrained. This was no longer the renowned old swordsman Tao Fu'an; it was clearly a handsome young man. The boy laughed loudly, chanting, "There are always good-for-nothings every year, but this year there are more! You, you, and you two are all good-for-nothings." Bai Xiaotian and his three fellow disciples were enraged. Mo Wuming was about to draw his sword when Peng Hai stopped him. "Wuming, step back." Peng Hai stood before the boy, scrutinizing him from head to toe, then after a moment's thought, asked, "That palm strike just now was yours. Do you know the Hundred-Step Divine Fist Shadowless Palm?" The boy smiled slightly, "Yes! I did it, but it's not called the Hundred-Step Divine Fist Shadowless Palm, it's called the Thousand-Step Iron Fist Dog-Beating Palm." Peng Hai coldly said, "Such a young age, and you're already spouting nonsense. I'll cut out your tongue." Bai Xiaotian, still resentful after suffering a loss, drew his sword and said fiercely, "Master, let me teach him a lesson." The old demon Peng Hai didn't believe that such a young man could wield the Hundred-Step Divine Fist and Shadowless Palm. He secretly calculated that if he defeated the young man, the old man would appear. In the martial world, only Old Tao knew the Hundred-Step Divine Fist and Shadowless Palm. Wasn't that old fellow rumored to be dead? Could he still be alive? If he was, tonight's goal would be difficult to achieve. As Peng Hai pondered, Bai Xiaotian unleashed a "White Crane Spreads Wings" sword strike at the boy. The boy leaped into the air, Bai Xiaotian's attack missing its mark. He then followed with a "Beauty Lifts the Curtain" strike, slashing at the boy's legs. In mid-air, the boy used his left toe to step on the back of his right foot, executing a "Dragonfly Skimming the Water" move. At the same time, the boy raised his right palm and shouted, "Take this!" Bai Xiaotian felt a gust of wind from the palm strike, heard a "smack," and then fell backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The young man laughed heartily, "Bai Xiaotian! I'll spare your life tonight, run for your life!" A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. This single palm strike stunned everyone present. A moment later, the heroes, young and old, from Kaifeng Prefecture shouted in unison, "Good! Well done! Excellent skill!" But things have two sides; for every laugh, there's a cry. Seeing his senior brother coughing up blood, Mo Wuming was enraged. He raised his sword and thrust, his sword flashing like ghostly flames, his Soul-Chasing, Life-Taking Sword striking repeatedly. Mo Wuming's martial arts were actually a notch above Bai Xiaotian's. Seeing the young man unperturbed, he said, "Good timing! Seeing your senior brother beaten, are you itching for a fight?" He then moved with incredible speed, using the Eight Trigrams Mysterious Steps to engage Mo Wuming in combat. After twenty rounds, the young man suddenly said, "Mo Wuming, that's all you've got. Alright, I don't want to waste any more time with you. Just stay here!" With that, the young man used a move called "Ghost Shadow Crouching" to move behind Mo Wuming, switching his fan with his left hand and striking Mo Wuming's back with his right. With a "thud," Mo Wuming fell to the ground with a thud. "Heaven has a virtue of cherishing life, I'll spare your life tonight," the young man said, opening his folding fan and waving it. Leaving aside the fact that the unconscious Mo Wuming was carried back, Peng Hai, seeing his two disciples defeated, was furious. He strode up to the young man and loudly asked, "Little brat, let me ask you, who is Tao Fu'an to you?" The young man smiled slightly and said, "He's my master." "Good, let your master come out and answer." "My master said that if I can defeat you within three moves, he will come out." "Bah! Aren't you afraid of your tongue getting twisted by the wind? You think you can defeat me in three moves? You're delusional! If I can't beat you in five moves, I'll admit defeat." "Alright, it's a deal. If you can't beat me in five moves, you lose. If you lose, tonight's business ends here, and we'll settle our scores later." As soon as Peng Hai said this, he regretted falling for the trick. But it was too late to back out. After all, he was a powerful figure in the martial arts world; he couldn't go back on his word to a little kid! Xu Liang and the others secretly gave him a thumbs up, wondering who this child was. Not only was his martial arts skill good, but he was also quick-witted. Peng Hai, who was so big, had actually been fooled. "Little brat, make your move." "You should make the first move! At your age, if I make the first move, I might accidentally kill you in one strike. Wouldn't that ruin your reputation?" "Fine, little brat, you're asking for it!" Peng Hai's beard bristled with anger, and he threw a punch at the boy, the most powerful move from the Seven Star Fist, "Seven Stars Gathering." The boy felt fists flying all over his body. He closed his eyes, listened to the wind, and dodged the punch. His right hand, holding a folding fan, aimed at Peng Hai's face. Peng Hai sidestepped, changing his fist into a palm, and unleashed the Mysterious Palm Technique, with moves like White Stone Bright, Leafy Mud, Reeds Green, River Flowing, and Dreamy Scorching, each move deadly. The boy's left hand fanned out in eight directions, while his right hand unleashed the ultimate technique, the Hundred-Step Divine Fist and Shadowless Palm. The book subtly reveals that while the young man's martial arts skills were decent, having received the true teachings of the old swordsman Tao Fu'an, he was still far inferior to Peng Hai, lacking experience and internal strength. Fortunately, the young man was clever and had already outmaneuvered Peng Hai before the fight even began. After three rounds, the young man could only parry and had no chance to retaliate, forced to spin around by Peng Hai. While fighting, the young man muttered, "Senior Peng, watch out, I'm going to slap you." Peng Hai prepared himself. The young man claimed he was going to slap him, but in reality, his Hundred-Step Divine Fist and Shadowless Palm were aimed at the back of the head, infuriating Peng Hai who farted repeatedly. "Kid, if you're going to fight, then fight! What are you yelling about?" Peng Hai said angrily. "It's more fun to fight and chat at the same time," the young man said, spinning around precariously, managing to survive five moves. The young man leaped out of the circle, wiping his sweat as he said, "Five moves have passed. I wonder if you, senior, keep your word? If you do, tonight is over. Please, senior, do as you please. If you don't, come back and sit down to relieve yourself. This young master is ready to oblige." The young man spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. The burly Peng Hai was truly speechless. How could he maintain his reputation in the martial world if he went back on his word in front of so many people? Giving up now seemed unacceptable. After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and stamped his foot. "Fine," he said to the young man, "The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, little one. Remember this tonight. We'll meet again." With that, he and his four disciples disappeared into the night. Seeing Peng Hai and the others gone, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close! That was close! A few more rounds and I would have been exhausted to the point of vomiting blood." Xu Liang led his group forward, reaching out to pull the young man along, asking, "Senior Tao, how are you? May I ask who you are...?" The young man laughed heartily, "I am... To find out who this young hero is, please read the next chapter. The Great Song Swordsman's Tale, Chapter 3: Zhan Jun Steals the Jade Seal at Feilong Temple, Tao Fu'an Meets Jie Village and Takes on a Disciple." The previous chapter mentioned Xu Liang leading the old and young heroes to the young man, bowing and saying, "Thank you for saving me, Senior; otherwise, I would be dead tonight." "Third Brother, what are you saying? We're all family, no need for formalities. Besides, I absolutely dare not accept the title of 'Senior'," the young man said, returning the bow. "Since you are Senior Tao's esteemed disciple, then you are my senior, Xu Liang's senior." Xu Liang then asked, puzzled, "I wonder where this title of 'Third Brother' comes from?" The young man laughed heartily, "My name is Zhan Jun. Forgive me for saying that my father is Zhan Zhao, and my mother is Ding Yuehua." The heroes then realized that this man was a descendant of the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao; no wonder he was so handsome. "So you are Uncle Zhan's son! Please come in. I am so grateful for your help, brother; otherwise, I fear my life would have been in danger," Xu Liang quickly thanked him. "Third brother, you are too kind. We are all family, no need for formalities. Besides, you saved my father's life," Zhan Jun added with a smile. "Back then, my father was ordered to invite the skilled healer Liu Shiqi. At the Jia family inn, they encountered their enemies Yan Fei and the Golden Palm Buddha. My father was no match for Yan Fei and was captured alive. If it weren't for your intervention, brother, I would have died at Yan Fei's hands. I have always remembered this great kindness." "This..." Xu Liang blushed and his neck turned red at the mention of what happened back then! "Hehe, hehe, Zhan Jun, this isn't the place to talk. Please come in, please come in." Jiang Ping, the "River-Turning Rat," broke the awkward atmosphere by changing the subject. "Fourth Grandfather, please. Heroes, please." Zhan Jun was very polite. Everyone accompanied Zhan Jun to the study to see Lord Yan. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhan Jun looked around, hesitant to speak. Lord Yan and Xu Liang, those people, knew perfectly well that Zhan Jun had something to say. Lord Yan looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late. Little Liang, you and Fourth Brother Jiang stay. The rest of you may leave." "Yes, sir." Everyone left. Jiang Ping chuckled, "I say, Zhan Jun! Just say what you want to say." Zhan Jun lowered his voice and said, "Fourth Grandfather, is the Imperial Seal of the State missing?" "How do you know?" Jiang Ping's face showed surprise. "Look at this." Zhan Jun smiled mysteriously and took out a square box from his treasure pouch. Jiang Ping opened the box, and Xu Liang and Lord Yan were dumbfounded. "This, this, this, this is truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly'! Isn't this the Imperial Seal of the State?" Lord Yan exclaimed. "We were so worried about the Imperial Seal of the State, Lord Yan, but we never expected you to find it! Tell us quickly, what exactly happened?" Xu Liang's eyes lit up. Zhan Jun then recounted the whole story. Speaking of Zhan Jun, a brief introduction is necessary. Zhan Jun was born the year after Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero, and Ding Yuehua returned to Yujie Village, Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture. They were overjoyed to have a son late in life. Zhan Jun was a clever and quick learner. When he was six years old, a special guest visited their home. This person was none other than the old swordsman from overseas, Tao Fu'an. The old swordsman Tao was over 140 years old. Although his health was still quite robust, it was not what it used to be. As people age, they tend to reminisce, and Tao Fu'an… Wanting to see old friends, he decided to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to visit Xu Liang and the others. Passing through Yujie Village, he thought that Zhan Zhao's family lived there, so he decided to go in and sit down. Actually, Old Tao had a very good impression of Zhan Zhao; he was upright, humble, polite, righteous, calm, and loyal. In his youth, he was a renowned figure in the martial arts world, and later followed Lord Bao in numerous battles, achieving great merit. However, due to his busy official duties, he neglected his martial arts training, resulting in little progress. With the emergence of Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui, he had retired to the sidelines. Tao Fu'an slowly walked into the Zhan residence. The steward, Zhan Xiang, a descendant of Zhan Zhong, immediately came out to greet him. "Old man, what brings you here…?" Tao Fu'an smiled and said, "I wonder if Zhan Nanxia is at home?" "Zhan Xiang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, sir, please sit in the living room first. I'll go and invite our young master. Please bestow your name upon him." "My name is Tao Lu, Tao Fu'an." Zhan Zhao, having heard that Senior Tao had arrived, rushed over to greet him. "Senior Tao, I have not been able to greet you properly. Please forgive me." Zhan Zhao said, bowing deeply. Tao Fu'an laughed heartily, "Zhan Zhao! We're old acquaintances, no need for such formalities." Just then, Ding Yuehua led Zhan Jun in. "Cat, I heard we have guests..." "Yuehua! Senior Tao is here. Don't call us 'Cat.' He'll laugh at us. Hurry up and greet him." Zhan Zhao awkwardly interrupted Ding Yuehua. Before Ding Yuehua could even bow, little Zhan Jun skipped and hopped to Tao Fu'an, kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Zhan Jun greets Grandpa." Grandpa Tao looked at the child before him; his fair skin contrasted with his pale pink lips, his handsome features, and his perfect face shape made him appear so sunny and dashing, exceptionally endearing. Tao Fu'an pulled little Zhan Jun up, smiling as he asked, "Your name is Zhan Jun, a good name. How old are you?" "I'm six years old," Zhan Jun replied with a grin. "Do you practice martial arts?" "Yes, I especially love practicing martial arts. I'll show Grandpa a few moves." Zhan Jun then prepared to demonstrate. Zhan Zhao laughed heartily, "Jun'er, don't embarrass yourself." "Zhan Zhao, let the child practice, let me see," Tao Fu'an said, stroking his beard. Zhan Zhao said to Zhan Jun, "Since Senior Tao wants to see, Jun'er, why don't you practice?" Zhan Jun practiced a set of Yanghu boxing. The boxing style was rigorous in structure, the movements were graceful and generous, the jumps and rotations were agile, the body and waist moved with the wrists, and the eyes moved with the sharp points. Sometimes the long dragon wrapped around the body, and sometimes the colorful butterflies fluttered. It was the so-called five elements of boxing practice: "hand, eye, body, method and footwork". After finishing a set of punches, little Zhan Jun asked Tao Fu'an, "Grandpa, Grandpa, how did I do?" Tao Fu'an nodded repeatedly, praising him incessantly, "Not bad, not bad." Zhan Zhao smiled, "Senior, please forgive my poor performance. My wife and I originally didn't plan for our child to learn martial arts, but he likes it, and we couldn't refuse him, so we agreed. Consider it good for his health." Tao Fu'an smiled, "Zhan Zhao, I think this child is very intelligent. If he practices diligently, he will surely achieve great things in the future. I quite like this child..." Before Tao Fu'an could finish speaking, little Zhan Jun knelt down again, calling out, "Master, Zhan Jun greets Master." Zhan Zhao immediately said to Zhan Jun, "You child have no manners, get up quickly." Tao Fu'an laughed heartily, "I like this child, Zhan Zhao! If you and your wife are willing, I will accept this disciple." "Senior, isn't this inappropriate? The difference in seniority is too great." "The martial world is a chaotic place, everyone has their own opinion. If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. It's rare to find a child who satisfies me. I can't take all my skills to my grave!" Tao Fu'an smiled slightly. Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua were overjoyed. To be able to become Tao Fu'an's disciples was a great stroke of luck. "Thank you for your kindness to our son, senior. We are deeply grateful." Zhan Zhao bowed again to express his gratitude. "Zhan Zhao, Zhan Jun is now my disciple. From now on, we will address each other as brothers." Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua smiled at each other and said to Tao Fu'an, "In that case, we are honored." "Haha, that's right. Come, Jun'er, let your master take a good look at you." "Master, your disciple Zhan Jun pays respects to you." Zhan Jun knelt down and performed three bows. "Haha, good, good, my precious disciple, I have a worthy successor." Tao Fu'an laughed heartily. "Master, let me massage your back and feet." "This child is truly clever." Tao Fu'an grinned from ear to ear. Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua were naturally overjoyed and warmly entertained Tao Fu'an. Time flies, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. One day, after washing up and having breakfast, Zhan Zhao, Ding Yuehua, and Tao Fu'an chatted together. "Brother, Sister Yuehua, I plan to take Jun'er back to our hometown and raise him carefully. What do you two think?" Although Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua were reluctant, they had to reluctantly part with him for the sake of Zhan Jun's future success. "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I entrust Jun'er to you." Zhan Zhao's eyes were a little red, and Ding Yuehua silently wiped away her tears. "This brief separation is for a better reunion in the future. I will definitely pass on all my knowledge to Jun'er." After saying this, Tao Fu'an took out two martial arts manuals from his bosom, one being the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Palm" and the other the "Heavenly Gang Limitless Sword Technique," both martial arts compiled by the old swordsman in recent years. "Brother, Sister Yuehua, please keep these two manuals as a gift!" "Thank you, elder brother." "I will take Jun'er away in three days." "Okay, elder brother." Three days later, Tao Fu'an left the Zhan family mansion with Zhan Jun, and the four parted with tears in their eyes. Time flies, and fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The master truly taught, and the disciple truly learned. Zhan Jun's martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, Tao Fu'an called Zhan Jun to his side: "Jun'er, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It's time for you to go down the mountain and gain some experience. Pack your things and go down the mountain." Upon hearing this, Zhan Jun's eyes reddened, and a few tears welled up. "Master, I won't go down the mountain. I want to stay with you." "Silly child, I have already taught you everything I know. There is nothing more I can teach you now. Besides, you should go home to visit your parents. The martial world is not peaceful lately. I heard that the Demon Mountain Sect, the Crocodile Gang, and the Flying Dragon Fortress are colluding with each other. Something big is likely to happen. Be extra careful when you go down the mountain. The martial world is dangerous. If you encounter anything, ask yourself 'why' a few times and think twice before you act." Tao Fu'an repeatedly warned him. Seeing that his master was determined, Zhan Jun could only bid farewell with tears in his eyes. "Master, please take care of yourself. I will come back to visit you after I visit my parents." "That's not necessary. After you leave, I will also go down the mountain to visit friends. We, master and disciple, will meet again someday." "Master..." "Go, go." Tao Fu'an waved his hand, signaling Zhan Jun to leave. He turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his clothes. "Master, this disciple takes his leave." Zhan Jun knelt down and kowtowed three times before departing, tears streaming down his face. The master and disciple parted in tears. Watching Zhan Jun leave, Tao Fu'an's nose tingled, and tears welled up in his eyes. Zhan Jun had been away from home for fifteen years. It would be a lie to say he didn't miss his parents. Therefore, he traveled day and night, keeping company with the stars, his heart yearning to return home. One day, he passed by Feilong Temple and stayed there for the night. As night fell, Zhan Jun was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard light footsteps outside the window. By the moonlight, he saw two people approach the window frame and press their ears against the window. One of them complained, "Master instructed us not to let outsiders stay. Why didn't you listen? If Master finds out, he will definitely punish you." The other man explained, "This newcomer looks quite refined, not like someone from the martial arts world. He's only staying one night and will leave tomorrow morning. Besides, he gave us ten taels of silver, enough for us two brothers to have a few good drinks." "I hope nothing bad happens." Zhan Jun, being as clever as he was, deduced there must be something more to it, so he pretended to be asleep and started snoring. Hearing the snoring, the two men outside the window quietly walked away. Zhan Jun pushed open the window, leaped onto the roof, and saw a brightly lit house in the front yard. He used his special skill, hanging upside down like a bell, his feet dangling from the eaves, and used the tip of his tongue to pierce the window paper to peek inside. He saw three people inside, one of whom was less than three feet tall, skin and bones, looking exactly like a monkey. This man was boasting, "Master Tie, what do you think? I'm not bragging! When it comes to stealing, no one is better than me. The heavily guarded inner palace is nothing to me; it's a piece of cake." This Master Tie was none other than Tie Feilong, the abbot of the Feilong Temple. "Of course, brother, you truly deserve the title of 'Master Thief,' your lightness skill has reached a level of perfection," Tie Feilong flattered. "Brother Tie, please keep the Imperial Seal safe. We'll discuss the next steps of our plan when Elder Peng arrives. I hope Elder Peng will achieve a great victory in Kaifeng Prefecture." "Don't worry," Tie Feilong said, turning to the young Taoist boy standing beside him. "With Senior Peng's martial arts skills, massacring Kaifeng Prefecture will be a piece of cake. As for the jade seal, you needn't worry about it either. My Taoist temple is very well hidden. I'll have Qingyue put it in the Seven Star Pagoda in a moment, and it'll be perfectly safe." "Qingyue, put this package in the Seven Star Pagoda." "Yes, Master." Qingyue took the package and walked out of the room, heading southeast. Zhan Jun jumped down from the roof and followed closely behind. When they passed a large tree, Zhan Jun reached out and took off Qingyue's Taoist hat, hanging it on the tree. Qingyue jumped a few times but couldn't get the hat, so she had to put the package on the ground and climb the tree to take off the hat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhan Jun picked up the package from the ground, leaped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night. We won't go into how Qingyue reported the lost jade seal to Tie Feilong or how they searched for it. Let's just say that Zhan Jun used the legendary twelve-character running technique of the Land Leap Technique to head straight for the Kaifeng Prefecture government office. As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Zhan Jun arrived at the Kaifeng government office just in time to see the White-Browed Hero Xu Liang in danger, and that's when he stepped in to save him. The old and young heroes suddenly realized what was going on. Zhan Jun continued, "They've lost the Imperial Seal, and they probably won't let this go. They'll definitely have other plans. Third Brother, Fourth Uncle, you still need to be extra careful. When I went down the mountain, Master said that Xia Yulian of the Demon Mountain Sect, Flying Dragon Fortress, and several other forces were colluding. It's estimated that the martial world will be plunged into bloodshed again. I'm anxious to go home to see my parents, so I'll be heading back to Yujie Village tomorrow morning. If you ever need my help, just send someone to let me know, and I'll do my best to help." Jiang Ping said, "Jun'er, please give our regards to your parents. You've had a hard night, so get some rest." Xu Liang pulled Zhan Jun and said, "Brother, let's stay together tonight and have a good chat." Zhan Jun smiled and said, "Okay, Third Brother." The two brothers felt like they had known each other for a long time and talked until dawn before going to sleep. The next morning, Zhan Jun bid farewell to everyone and left Kaifeng Prefecture to go home to see his parents. How Kaifeng Prefecture captured the treasure thief Cao Shangpiao and Shuili Feifeng, and how they handled the funeral of Xiaotianwang Bai Chun, are left aside for now. Let's focus on the intense battle currently raging on the Arctic Island. To find out what happens next, please read the next chapter. Chapter Four: Xia Yulian's Bloodbath at Wuji Temple, Feifei Shangren's Death. Morality of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, fame of the Xiahou, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. The Five Hegemons and Seven Warlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, rise and fall in an instant. A few lines of names on the bluestone, countless desolate hills in Beiman, the predecessors sow the seeds, the successors reap the harvest, what's the point of talking about the dragon and tiger fight? The Arctic Island, Xuantian Wuji Temple, is a sacred place of martial arts. Its master is: Long-haired Taoist, Mad Shangren Xue Zhulian. His four disciples are: Thunderbolt Gale, Floating Boat on Water Zhuge Yuanying, Shaking the North Sea, Evil Face Kunlun Sou Shangguan Feng, A Gong Sound Shakes Heaven and Earth Zou Rui, Zou Huachang, and Feifei Shangren Zhuge Sui. After the battle at Bixia Palace, Xue Zhulian was severely injured and returned to Wuji Temple to recuperate for a long time before fully recovering. Fifteen years passed in peace throughout the martial world. One day, a young Taoist boy rushed in, flustered, and encountered Zou Huachang. The boy cried out in alarm, "Master, something terrible has happened! About thirty people are coming, each wielding knives, spears, and halberds, storming into the temple!" Zou Huachang said, "Qingfeng, don't panic. Do you know who they are?" "This disciple doesn't know," Qingfeng replied. "Alright, I'll go out and see. You go and inform the other three masters." Zou Huachang spoke as he left Wuji Temple. Qingfeng agreed and ran towards the back courtyard. Zou Huachang, having seen all sorts of situations, calmly waited for the group to approach and loudly proclaimed, "You audacious scoundrels! Daring to brandish knives and spears in Wuji Temple, I advise you all to lay down your weapons. We can discuss this further; otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable!" A young man with a knife in the crowd laughed and said nonchalantly, "Old bastard, you still dare to talk back even when you're about to die. I'll slaughter you all in a moment, leaving you crying for your parents." Although Zou Huachang was a monk, he still had a temper. Seeing the newcomer's arrogant words, he couldn't help but get angry and snorted, "You little rat, state your name. Zou Huachang doesn't kill nameless people." "I am Xiao Si, the deputy leader of the Ghost King Sect." Zou Huachang laughed, "Indeed, a nameless rat. You dare to offend my Wuji Temple with your Ghost King Sect?" Xiao Si pointed his knife at Zou Huachang and sneered, "Old bastard, let me show you my power." With that, he slashed at Zou Huachang. In fact, the Ghost King Sect was just a small sect in the martial arts world. Normally, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble at Wuji Temple even if they had a hundred lives. There was a reason why they dared to be so arrogant today. Three days ago, several special guests arrived at the Ghost King Sect. Xia Bagu, the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, and the four guardians of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, accompanied one person to the sect. The sect leader, Poison Scorpion Wu Gong, greeted them with a smile and invited them to sit in the main hall. Xia Bagu had a fiery temper, always resorting to violence and verbal abuse; she was feared by everyone in both the righteous and the wicked worlds. Wu Gong cautiously inquired, "Senior, what brings you to our sect today?" Xia Bagu was unusually polite today: "Sect Leader Wu, I have something to discuss with you today." Wu Gong quickly bowed and said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, please just tell me what you need." Xia Bagu pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll be frank. Your Ghost King Sect is also one of the Lower Five Sects. Our Demon Mountain Sect is preparing to attack Wuji Temple and would like to borrow your sect as a foothold. Is that alright?" Upon hearing that they were going to attack Wuji Temple, Wu Gong's head buzzed. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't afford to offend Xia Bagu. Just as he was wondering how to answer, the Deputy Sect Leader, Ghost Head Saber Xiao Si, said with a beaming smile, "Senior, that's wonderful! To be honest, we've been bullied terribly by the Four Swords of Ice Mountain. We've long wanted to teach them a lesson, but we don't have the strength. With you here today, I'm sure you have a sure chance of success. Our Ghost King Sect is willing to serve you." Xia Bagu laughed heartily, "Xiao Si, you little rascal, you sure know how to flatter! To be honest, with my master here, those few pieces of trash from Wuji Temple will be meeting their maker in no time." Wu Gong and Xiao Si's heads instantly swelled a hundredfold upon hearing this. The person seated in the middle was actually the founder of the Demon Mountain Sect, the Demon Mountain Mother Xia Yulian! The two quickly bowed and said in unison, "We didn't know our ancestor was here. Please forgive our lack of hospitality." Xia Yulian nodded slightly in return, which made Wu Gong and Xiao Si extremely pleased, given her status. Rumor had it that Xia Yulian's original name was Bi Yuexiao. Thirty years ago, she fought Yu He for the title of Martial Saint. The two fought for three hundred rounds to a draw, and Yu He feigned defeat, managing to severely injure Bi Yuexiao. After that, no one in the martial world ever saw Bi Yuexiao again. In fact, Bi Yuexiao later changed her name to Xia Yulian and lived in seclusion in the Demon Mountain Doumu Palace. For some unknown reason, they now seek to seize the Martial Saint Token from Xue Zhulian. But enough of that, let's get back to the main story. Xia Bagu said to Wu Gong and Xiao Si, "You two get up. Prepare yourselves. We'll head to the Arctic Island in three days. Once we're at Wuji Temple, feel free to cause trouble. We, your master and disciples, will back you up no matter what." Wu Gong and Xiao Si nodded repeatedly, which is why Ghost Head Saber Xiao Si dared to be so arrogant at Wuji Temple today. Seeing Xiao Si's saber coming at him, Zou Huachang dodged and struck Xiao Si on the back with a backhand. Zou Huachang only used thirty percent of his strength, but even that was too much for Xiao Si, who was sent flying three zhang away, crashing to the ground with a thud. The Ghost King Sect disciples quickly helped Xiao Si up. Poison Scorpion Wu Gong raised his sword to stab, but Xia Bagu stopped him. "Wu Gong, forget it! You'll just get beaten up for nothing. This is Zou Huachang. I know you're willing to serve the Demon Mountain Sect, but there's no need for pointless sacrifices. You take care of Xiao Si, and I'll deal with this old bastard." Wu Gong was quite moved, his eyes reddening as he said, "Thank you for your understanding, senior." Actually, Wu Gong knew in his heart that going up would be pointless; he'd end up like Xiao Si. He had only charged forward with a stiff upper lip. Now, seeing Xia Bagu say this, he was secretly delighted. Xia Bagu leaped in front of Zou Huachang and giggled, her laughter more unpleasant than crying. "I say, Zou Huachang, you're getting more and more useless as you get older. You know how to bully children now. If you hit a child, the adults won't allow it, but you hit my man! Do you think I, an old man, will forgive you? You fake blind man, your death day is here!" Zou Huachang's heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was Xia Bagu. They had dealt with each other more than once, and he knew he couldn't beat her. Xia Bagu struck Zou Huachang with a palm strike, but Zou Huachang stepped back and dodged, turning behind Xia Bagu and striking back with a palm strike. Xia Bagu leaped into the air, dodging the blow. The two exchanged blows, but after only a dozen or so rounds, a loud cracking sound was heard, followed by a scream. Zou Huachang fell backward, spitting blood, and lost consciousness. Xia Bagu laughed loudly: "Fake blind man, good-for-nothing!" Thunderclap Gale Floating Boat Zhuge Yuanying, Earthshaker North Sea Evil Face Kunlun Elder Shangguan Feng, and Flying Immortal Zhuge Sui, having heard that someone had come to cause trouble at Wuji Temple, rushed over. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Zou Huachang spitting blood after being struck by a palm strike. Shangguan Feng quickly picked up Zou Huachang and took out a Resurrection Pill from his pocket, stuffing it into Zou Huachang's mouth. Zhuge Yuanying and Zhuge Sui fought Xia Bagu together. Xia Bagu, wielding the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox sword, held her own against two swordsmen. Xia Bagu used the Demon Mountain Sword Technique to trap Zhuge Yuanying and Zhuge Sui. After forty rounds, sweat beaded on their foreheads. Seeing his two senior brothers unable to win, Shangguan Feng raised his sword to join the fight, but Feng Mantian, one of the four protectors of the Demon Mountain Sect, met him with his own sword. A fierce battle ensued. After sixty rounds, Zhuge Sui, caught off guard, was kicked in the groin by Xia Bagu's sword and foot, dying instantly. Zhuge Yuanying, momentarily distracted, was stabbed in the left shoulder by Xia Bagu's sword, blood gushing out. Shangguan Feng glanced over and saw that both Zhuge Yuanying and Zhuge Sui had been defeated. A sense of panic crept in. Seeing an opportunity, Feng Mantian thrust his sword towards Shangguan Feng's throat. Shangguan Feng tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword was only an inch away from his throat when a figure flashed, swift as lightning. The newcomer caught Feng Mantian's sword between two fingers, turned to Shangguan Feng, and said, "Shangguan Feng, go check on their injuries." The newcomer was none other than the long-haired Taoist priest, Xue Zhulian. With a slight squeeze of her two fingers, a "crack" was heard, and the sword between her fingers broke in two. Feng Mantian was terrified and retreated back to his group. Xia Bagu, seeing Xue Zhulian appear in person, knew that the moment had come. Xia Bagu, the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, raised her sword and thrust at Xue Zhulian. Xia Bagu's martial arts were undeniable, but it depended on who she was compared to. Compared to Xue Zhulian, she was far inferior. After three or four rounds, she could only parry, unable to retaliate. Seeing her opportunity, Xia Yulian, standing in the crowd, shouted, "Xia Bagu, step back!" Xia Bagu scurried away, wiping her sweat as she said, "Master, this Xue Zhulian is quite wicked, please be careful." Xia Yulian smiled slightly, "It's probably nothing." The Demon Mountain Mother, Xia Yulian, personally intervened. She approached Xue Zhulian, chuckling, "Second Xue, thirty years have passed, you haven't aged a bit!" Facing Xia Yulian, Xue Zhulian's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking, "Today, my Wuji Temple is going to be in turmoil." Though her heart was troubled, she couldn't show it on her face. "Xia Yulian, your disciple injured four of my disciples without any explanation. What is the matter? Give me a reasonable explanation today." Xia Yulian laughed, "Second Brother Xue, what are you pretending to be confused about? I'm here today for the Martial Saint Token. Hand it over obediently and I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, your disciples will suffer the same fate as you today." "Xia Yulian, how arrogant you are! The Martial Saint Token was recommended to me by the Five Sects, Thirteen Schools, and Eighty-One Schools. You think you can just take it like that? There's no reason for that. If you want the Martial Saint Token, we'll talk about it at the Martial Arts Tournament." Xue Zhulian said righteously. "Xue Zhulian, stop talking nonsense! If you don't hand over the Martial Saint Token today, I'll massacre the Wuji Temple!" Xia Yulian said fiercely. "You unreasonable troublemaker!" "You old bastard, you dare to curse me? I'll tear your mouth apart!" The two couldn't agree and started fighting on the spot. The Demon Mountain Sword Technique clashed with the Ice Mountain Sword Technique; given their status, it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time. Forty rounds passed in the blink of an eye, with no clear victor. Xue Zhulian was truly unlucky; he rarely needed to act, but whenever he did, he encountered formidable opponents. He had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by the Martial Saint Yu He in over twenty rounds at Bixia Palace, and today, after a grueling forty-round battle with the Demon Mountain Old Mother Xia Yulian, he was already showing signs of exhaustion. Just then, at this crucial moment, someone came galloping from afar, shouting as they ran, "Stop! Stop fighting! This old man is here!" Who is this newcomer? Please read the next chapter for the answer.
