Martialism

Chapter 53's

It was late at night and there were four men drinking heavily in the pavilion.

Yi Ping, Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng drowned their sorrows with party after party of wine. Floors and tables were strewn with flasks and wine jars. They only drank thermos after flask of wine and none of them said a word all night.

Gongsun Jing was drinking alone when Yi Ping appeared with more wine jars in her hands as she sat down.

He thought bitterly, "You have so many women as friends and you chose to drink with me?"

Even before Yi Ping sat down, Qiu Wufeng had walked into the pavilion with more wine jars. Without saying a word, he started drinking from one of the wine jars he had brought.

Gongsun Jing was surprised, "What's wrong with Brother Wufeng?"

Even before his mind calmed down, Nangong Le had walked into the pavilion in a half-drunk state, "Good, there is more wine here." And he just picked up a bottle of wine that was on the table and started drinking.

After some time, Gongsun Jing could not resist the temptation to ask again. "All of you. What's wrong with all of you? I think I'm the only one who's unhappy here. Why is everyone drinking their grief?"

Qiu Wufeng smiled bitterly, "You can't be unhappy like me."

Yi Ping laughed miserably as he drowned another bottle of wine, "It's not you, it's me."

Nangong Le smashed across the table with his hand, "You? You won't be happy? There are so many wonderful girls around you. Will you not be happy? Is this a joke?"

Yi Ping sighed, "It is precisely because they are the ones who are making me so depressed right now."

Gongsun Jing said softly, "Brother Yi Ping, do you mind sharing with us what is really bothering you? Maybe we can help."

Yi Ping sighed sadly, "It's a bit embarrassing."

Qiu Wufeng said, "If you don't share, how do you know that you are happier than us? Since we're already here and brothers, is there anything we can't share?"

Nangong Le rebuked her shakyly, "Wine can be shared and talks can be shared but women, no."

Qiu Wufeng asked, "Which girl is making you so depressed?"

Nangong Le was surprised, "How do you know?"

Qiu Wufeng smiled awkwardly, "Is there anything other than women that can make you moody?"

Nangong Le said, "There is. Money is one of them."

Qiu Wufeng said, "Obviously it's not for you right now."

Gongsun Jing said, "Since we all have problems, why don't we share them? Maybe it will make us feel better. Brother Yi Ping, will you start first? It seems that none of us believe that you can be as troubled as we are."

Yi Ping hummed coldly, "After I share my misery with you, you will know how troubled I am."

He sighed and his eyes fell down as he began to tell the source of his grief.

When she had just regained consciousness, she found herself in a compromising and intimate embrace with the half-naked Youxue. Before she realized what was going on, Mei’Er, Yu’Er, Lingfeng, Lie Qing and Ding Yun had entered with dumbfounded looks at the scene.

Before he could explain, Youxue said shyly. "I've given my chastity to Ping’Er…"

Lingfeng recovered from her initial shock as she whimpered while crying. "Hmph! At first I could not believe what Brother Huo Fu said about you being alone with a girl in the cave. But now I believe. Now it all makes sense to me. Now I know how the Heavenly Elves and how the Glad Goddess gave up on you one after another, one after another!"

He deliberately extended his sentence because he wanted to let his hurt feelings seep into Yi Ping heart so that he would forever remember what he just said to her!

When she said everything in her heart, she cried and walked out of the room!

Mei’Er shouted, "You are no longer our Master!"

As soon as she made her scream, she left the room crying.

Yu’Er looked at Yi Ping hatefully and left without saying a word. Unlike Mei’Er, Yu’Er rarely talks to strangers. When he couldn't be bothered to say anything to her now; that already speaks volumes about her heartbreak!

Lie Qing said coldly, "So all this time, you were just pretending in front of us. You have sacrificed Sister Youxue yet you refuse to acknowledge what you have done. No wonder, Lele has .. you.my heart is cold now and filled with darkness. Like all men, you can't be trusted!"

Yi Ping quickly said, "Qing’Er, listen to me. It's really not what you imagined …"

He tried to pull Youxue away from him until he suddenly realized that he was timidly holding her tight …

Lie Qing interrupted him coldly as her tears flowed silently on her cheeks, "Tomorrow afternoon, prepare your sword. We'll duel in a sword fight and stop only when one of us dies."

He stormed out in anger.

Youxue comforted Yi Ping, "Don't worry, Ping’Er. Tomorrow I'll help you. You need more rest to fully recover from your injuries. He suggested a sword duel but should we follow a sword duel? If I insist on a complicated blow martial duel, there's nothing he can protest against."

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "Youxue, you should know. You have fought him in the Longevity Hall of the Quiet Clan before. Although Qing’Er never left her sword gaze, her complicated punch was even more shocking than her swordplay. ."

Youxue murmured, "I won't give him any advantage and know his loss. I will extend the fight and pull him to exhaust his martial power …"

Only Ding Yun was still standing with his usual calm demeanor in the room. But something in his eyes told him that something was not right.

Yi Ping frantically said, "Yun, listen to me first. I know you're the most understanding …"

But Ding Yun ignored Yi Ping as he muttered indistinctly, "Youxue, I have destroyed you. I'm…"

Youxue suddenly turned cold. He had seen Lingfeng's reaction, Mei’Er, Yu’Er and Lie Qing as they charged out one by one.

He said coldly, "It's not Ping’Er's fault. Why are you all reacting in such a horrible way? I did it willingly and we will eventually marry each other. It's just a matter of sooner or later! "

Yi Ping was surprised to hear this coming from Youxue as he muttered, "Youxue …"

Ding Yun looked at Yi Ping coldly even as he said to Youxue, "I know that now, nothing I say will convince you to change your mind. But do you know why we're so upset?"

Youxue asked coldly, "What else? You all must be jealous to see that I'm the one who's awakening Ping’Er."

Yi Ping was surprised. So it was Youxue who had saved his life and cleared the conflicting Heavenly Powers from his body. Instantly, he was filled with gratification for her as he thought to himself, "Youxue, you have sacrificed your chastity, yet you have to endure so much humiliation for my sake. It must have been hard for you .. unfortunately .. once again, you have saved my life. Why am I so useless?"

Ding Yun said softly, "Yi Ping has lied to all of us. He could clear Heavenly Power by himself. But he pretended otherwise. Did you know we were so worried about him and we didn't sleep one bit? Instead of being honest with you, he's using you!"

Youxue said coldly, "I don't know what you're saying. It's so different from you, Sister Yun. It's too irrational, isn't it? It was impossible for Ping’Er to fake his wound with so many sharp eyes around it. …”

Ding Yun said, "An ordinary practitioner might not be able to do it. But a super martial exponent was able to do it. Don't you think it's strange that Yi Ping is able to defeat Celestial Liege but he can also be overwritten by the Celestial Force? Since he could fight Celestial Liege equally, Celestial Force would never be able to overcome his martial power and attack his meridian channels. That's not possible at all. Have you thought about that? Is that considered irrational, if you come to think of it? The fact is, he doesn't seem to be suffering at all and from the looks of it, he looks really strong."

Youxue said timidly, "That's because he has absorbed my complicated cold and negative energies when I sacrificed my chastity for him. Just like Celestial Liege said. Yi Ping was young and he was naturally stronger than most people. So it was no surprise that after that one exchange, he had recovered. What's so weird about that? Why do you all think that Ping’Er has taken advantage of me and has lied to all of you, just because? There is always something extraordinary in many ways. What's so astounding and strange about all this?"

Ding Yun said, "Sister, you are too naive and too innocent. You ... I explain to you when you've calmed down."

He said coldly to Yi Ping, "You really disappointed me. Since that day in the valley, I have promised you with my heart and I consider myself to be your wife. No matter how bad you are .. No matter how despicable you are.if tomorrow Lie Qing kills you; I will also take my own life!"

He left the room crying!

Yi Ping was startled as he muttered indistinctly in confusion as he thought, "What am I really doing ?!"

Youxue muttered timidly as he hugged her, "Ping’Er, why can I feel that your martial power seems to be different now? Heavenly Tears again? Strange, it shouldn't just disappear. When you have consumed the Thousand Year Ice Fish, it should be stronger than before. Don't tell me, don't tell me, your Ice Heavenly Tears have joined the Heavenly Power?!"

However, Yi Ping did not notice his muttering as he was still staring miserably at the entrance of the room…

Gongsun Jing, Qiu Wufeng and Nangong Le looked at Yi Ping with shocked expressions.

Qiu Wufeng muttered in surprise, "So you mean, you are at odds with Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Lie Qing, Ding Yun and Lingfeng?"

Nangong Le was even more surprised, "You and Youxue …? You really took her chastity?"

Yi Ping sunk another bottle of wine as he said bitterly, "So, are any of you more unfortunate and more miserable than me?"

Gongsun Jing who had been silent until now, laughed bitterly. "You think you're miserable? You think you're more miserable than I am?"

Nangong Le, Qiu Wufeng and Yi Ping were startled by Gongsun Jing's explosion.

Gongsun Jing sighed sadly, "I used to be the Young Master of the famous Honorary Manor who was the most powerful orthodox clan in the entire fraternity, enjoying the admiration and jealousy of the entire fraternity. But now, I'm just a fugitive on the run…"

Yi Ping interrupted, "You blame Ding Yun?"

Gongsun Jing shook her head, "She really is a gentle girl and a pitiful girl. I really like it. Unfortunately, he likes you Yi Ping, take good care of him. But you know what. Even if he's not with you, we can't be together. It is an indisputable fact that my father was killed by his sword.”.

Yi Ping was silent.

Nangong Le muttered indistinctly, "That's absolutely nothing new. Do you need to get yourself drunk on some old memories?"

Gongsun Jing smiled bitterly, "Of course, that's not all. I was scolded as an animal in disguise. It's my first time being so considerate…"

Qiu Wufeng smiled bitterly, "You mean Suxin? You like her?"

Gongsun Jing was surprised, "You know?"

Qiu Wufeng said, "Actually you don't need to worry too much about it. Lingfeng had already explained and explained everything. It's just that we have no evidence to prove that we're innocent…"

Gongsun Jing asked, "Why are you sighing? You seem more excited to find the evidence than I am."

Qiu Wufeng sighed deeply, "It's Sufeng .. to think that I would like someone from an unorthodox clan. The Qiu Martial Clan has always had a good reputation in the fraternity.not only have I destroyed all of my clan's reputation, I have lost everything now. I don't know what he thinks of me. Well...are any of you more miserable than me?”

Yi Ping and Nangong Le immediately said, "This wine is toast to you!"

The shocking Qiu Wufeng stopped them, "Don't spend all the wine and please leave some for me. The two of you sound more like taking advantage of the situation to spend all the wine. You bastard ... unfortunately .. it's okay …"

Nangong Le sighed, "Unacknowledged by my father is one thing, but none of you can suffer more than me tonight."

Qiu Wufeng hummed, "I can't believe."

Nangong Le said bitterly, "At least everything is not lost with you, Big Brother Wufeng. The same goes for Brother Jing as well. At least Brother Yi Ping could still try his best to explain and at least there was still Youxue who was still willing to explain…"

Yi Ping interrupted, "Tomorrow at noon I will be killed by Qing’Er. Is this some kind of small consolation?"

Gongsun Jing smiled bitterly, "Why don't you just get to the point?"

Nangong Le sighed deeply, "I was rejected tonight by Suyue .. unfortunately."

Everyone is surprised.

Qiu Wufeng stammered, "You actually approached Suyue and advanced on her?"

Nangong Le sighed even more deeply, "He said I am the Flirtatious Nangong Le and completely rejected me. My reputation is so bad .. why doesn't Lingfeng clarify for me …"

Gongsun Jing smiled even more bitterly, "You have been known as Nangong Le the Flirtatious for as long as I can remember. Nothing can change that."

Nangong Le said, "I think I'm known as Nangong Le the Joyous?"

Qiu Wufeng laughed, "That's because they gave you some advance rescue measures on the approval of the Nangong Clan in the fraternity. But that's what everyone calls you behind your back."

Nangong Le was astonished, "This is the first time I have known about it. Why hasn't any of my friends ever told me that?"

Suddenly, everyone noticed that Yi Ping had frozen and was looking in the opposite direction.

Nangong Le, Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng quickly turned around and were surprised to see Xiao Youxue who was just standing still. There was a forbidden cold attitude around him that was frightening to behold.

From the looks of it, he had been standing there for quite a while.

Youxue said coldly, "Ping’Er, how can you tell everyone about us and describe it?"

He hummed coldly before he left angrily!

Yi Ping asked, "Now who is the most miserable?"

"There's so much wine lying around here? It seems that my guest forgot that we were being surrounded and took the opportunity to empty my wine cellar, leaving nothing for me?"

It was the Sacred Sectarian Master, Ji Wuzheng!

They quickly got up to pay their respects except for Nangong Le who was too drunk to stand up.

Ji Wuzheng said, "It seems that none of you are as miserable as I am."

Yi Ping was surprised, "What makes you say that?"

Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng looked at him curiously.

Ji Wuzheng sighed, "My grace is almost exhausted by you guys. The Sacred Hex Sect was on the verge of collapse. My sister, Lingfeng was crying while crying. I just lost four Holy Chapter Guards. My daughter suddenly became quiet. Who could be more miserable than me?"

He sighed, adding. "Have you that the Orthodox Clan has given me a challenge within three days? I've accepted it. There were too many simple sacrifices and too many innocent people were killed. Maybe that's the best course of action. If I am willing to accept their challenge, then they will be willing to save the Sacred Hex Sect from total destruction, they want my sister Lingfeng the Holy Maiden and our sacred relics the Heavenly Relic as a promise of peace if we lose the duel ."

He hummed coldly, "After all, that is their true purpose. Moreover, they want six people from me; the four of you plus Maiden Youxue and Maiden Yun. The four of you will be handed over to Honor Manor to be executed and to appease the orthodox brotherhood. Maiden Youxue and Maiden Yun will be handed over to Virtuous Palace. If you were in my position, what would you do?"

Everyone is silent. Compared to the matter of Sacred Sectarian Master Ji Wuzheng, their problem was actually trivial.

Ji Wuzheng said, "The four of you are still young and have a bright future. What's there to worry about? A hero will always rise. If there is a problem, he will overcome it. The four of you have come all the way.from the Central Brotherhood to help the Sacred Hex Sect to fight the Honorary Manor. It's amazing."

Gongsun Jing bluntly said, "That's because our enmity with the Honor Manor is not something we can expect to end up alone. We just hope that at least we can fight a common enemy and at least have a better chance of solving our problems.score with Honor Manor once and for all. Even if we fail, at least our deaths will not be in vain!"

Ji Wuzheng immediately clapped his hands on the table, "Great aspiration!"

He paused for a moment before asking, "Are you heroes thinking of joining the Sacred Hex Sect?"

Qiu Wufeng said, "The Sacred Hex Sect is an unorthodox clan. I'm from an orthodox clan …"

Ji Wuzheng said, "What is orthodox and what is unorthodox? Just because the Sacred Hex Sect has our own beliefs, we are branded unorthodox? Just because we settled our enmity with the other martial clans openly, we are called unorthodox. sect? The orthodox martial clans called right are the ones who attack us. In name, they avenged the death of the Old Sword Saint. In secret, the Honor Manor and the Virtue Palace are actually trying to seize our Heavenly Relic. Can their actions be considered orthodox or even correct?"

Yi Ping said, "Although my knowledge is limited and maybe you are right but kindness can only falter for a while and not be defeated. The purported orthodox clans have fought hard to be recognized as part of the orthodox martial fraternity. Although these orthodox clans can be misled and even their leadership can be evil for a while, it will soon return to orthodox in time, then he needs to prove himself and take steps to move forward in that direction. That's why this orthodox clan was able to survive for centuries, with many ups and downs. As for the orthodox clans, how many actually survived for so long? If the orthodox clan is not careful, it might even drift off and become a secret heretical clan, unable to do things in the open and only able to operate in the dark."

Ji Wuzheng was silent for a moment, "I do have the intention to bring the Sacred Hex Sect into the orthodox martial fraternity. But the prejudice against our sect goes deep within the orthodox martial fraternity or they won't raise their hands against us and view us as a threat."

Yi Ping said, "Then it must depend on whether the ascension of the Sacred Hex Sect in the fraternity is your high ambition to dominate others with your strength or be recognized by the fraternity."

Ji Wuzheng asked, "Is there a difference?"

Yi Ping said, "Dominating others will bring about feelings of resentment. Being acknowledged by others will bring respect. I don't know what really happened during the duel between the Old Sword Saint and you. Everyone says that you have it. causing the death of the Sword Saint and hence, your next move is to dominate the martial fraternity."

Ji Wuzheng hummed coldly, "This is just a rumor. With my martial skills and swordplay, I have no chance against the Old Holy Sword. Our secret duel is a contest over the internal skills of our complicated sect, the Sacred Merger Skill and the Infinitude Recite. Back then, we were both looking for a breakthrough. The duel was just an internal strength contest to test our limits. We both know the dangerous risks involved but we willingly decided to take these risks to achieve what we have in mind."

He looked at Yi Ping sharply, "You know. Actually it was a draw between the Old Holy Sword and me. Your father Yi Tianxing has given me Divine Revelation. When used together with the Sacred Merging Skill, the Sacred Merging Skill had just narrowly won over the Unbounded Pronunciation. The Old Sword Saint admitted defeat just because he thought it would help the Sacred Hex Sect regain its position in the fraternity. He told me if he did not secretly watch the duel between Yi Tianxing and my father, Ji Yunzhong that day, his martial progress would still be hampered. So he just returned the favor to my father."

Yi Ping was surprised, "I don't .. Lingfeng didn't tell me …"

Gongsun Jing interjected, "Why don't you explain? Your Majesty, my father Gongsun Bai has assumed that your next intention is to challenge his position in the fraternity …"

Ji Wuzheng said, "No one from the orthodox clan will give me a fair examination. Besides, it's not something I really care about. What the orthodox clans like to think is actually their own business, don't they? Moreover, your father Gongsun Bai has high ambitions to dominate the entire fraternity. This was just an excuse for him to bring the other brotherhood by force under his control. You should know this more clearly than I."

Gongsun Jing muttered, "That's right.my father's ambition killed him…"

Yi Ping and Gongsun Jing exchanged glances. Yi Ping had gone to Honor Manor to seek revenge for his parents but irony ensued. The son of his enemy would truly be his adopted brother and they now had the same enemies; gu Tianle and the Honorary Manor.

Ji Wuzheng said, "If the heroes don't mind, why don't you join the Sacred Hex Sect? I'm not going to give you a lowly position. How about becoming the new Holy Chapter Guard? The position of the Guard was similar to that of the vice clan leader in the Sacred Hex Sect."

Qiu Wufeng was surprised, "Join an unorthodox clan? That's impossible …"

Ji Wuzheng said, "Orthodox or unorthodox, that's just an act we did. If you have the Truth in your heart, why are you afraid of being in an unorthodox clan?"

Qiu Wufeng said, "If we survive this, I hope to restore the honor and position of my clan in the fraternity. I can't afford to stay in the Sacred Hex Sect."

Gongsun Jing nodded, "I am also …"

Yi Ping said, "I'm afraid I won't live that long and moreover, there are many things waiting for me to do …"

Suddenly, Nangong Le said drunkenly. "I'm willing! I have nothing now! If that means I can get close to Suyue, I will!"

Ji Wuzheng was surprised as he thought, "This bastard is interested in my daughter Suyue? Taking him to the Sacred Hex Sect was like bringing a wolf in sheep's clothing into the sect. But I have already stated my intention and cannot retract.hmm.if I cannot retract my words, I can force him to stop by making it difficult for him after he becomes the protege of my clan…"

So he smiled at Nangong Le, "Welcome, welcome. You are now the Guardian of the Holy Chapter. What about the Guardians of the Third Holy Chapter?"

Nangong Le laughed, "Good. What is my salary and monthly allowance?"

Ji Wuzheng was surprised. In fraternity, boxers do not talk about wages and benefits shyly. Instead they would talk about loyalty and clan rules first. Moreover, once he decided to join, Nangong Le had to respect him as a sect master. He found himself disliking this Nangong Le and decided to make things difficult for him. It was also to protect his daughter Suyue from him.

But before he could answer Nangong Le, Nangong Le had fallen to the floor drunk.

Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng secretly thought, "Brother Nangong will soon die if he joins the Sacred Hex Sect …"

If Nangong Le was not a sibling of Yi Ping; gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng would never have been his adopted brothers. It was because Nangong Le had almost no true friends except Reverend Ling Kongquan and Reverend Liu Qingcheng because his lack of manners and general lack of etiquette in the fraternity basically offended everyone. It explained the hostile gazes he had received from Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng at Honor Manor when he had arrived late and made a huge commotion.

Yi Ping muttered in a half-drunk state and did not realize that Nangong Le had completely fainted, "Congratulations to Brother Nangong as the Guardian of the new Holy Chapter …"

Ji Wuzheng said, "Since the young heroes don't want to join the Sacred Hex Sect, why don't we become sworn brothers instead? If you don't mind having an unorthodox person as a brother …"

Yi Ping immediately said, "I'm willing!"

Gongsun Jing said, "If you don't mind the weak and stepped on as a brother, I'm willing to."

Qiu Wufeng hesitated for a while. That was because the orthodox and unorthodox concepts were too ingrained in him. But when he thought of Sufeng, he immediately said. "I am ready too! So what if I'm no longer of the orthodox? I am no longer an orthodox member since I was forced to flee!"

Ji Wuzheng smiled, "It's so good. From now on, I'm your oldest brother. If you need any help or request, please ask me!"

Suddenly, Qiu Wufeng got up and was about to leave when Gongsun Jing caught him, "Sister Wufeng, where are you going?"

Qiu Wufeng smiled bitterly, "I will tell Sufeng that I am no longer an exponent of the orthodox martial fraternity. I'll tell him .. he's happy. He likes me .. I know .. Brother, talk later ..”

He broke away from Gongsun Jing and left in a hurry even as Ji Wuzheng looked at her with a stunned look.

Ji Wuzheng had yet to recover from his shock hearing that Qiu Wufeng was actually interested in his daughter Sufeng when Gongsun Jing hurriedly got up while muttering, "That's right. I have to tell Suxin as well …"

Ji Wuzheng was completely shocked as he muttered indistinctly, "Am I doing the right thing by being their big brother? Now I have to help them freely in whatever they ask. Especially now that it was late at night and they were very drunk. Oh no!…”

Suddenly, Yi Ping and Ji Wuzheng heard a startled cry. Although the cries of shock were barely audible, they were able to catch him due to their superior hearing.

Yi Ping could even recognize the startled cries coming from Yu’Er and Mei’Er. Their voices completely died down almost instantly, making Yi Ping afraid that the worst had happened to them. The twin brothers were not weak; for anyone to silence them immediately showed that the assailant was a dangerous exponent.

He quickly pulled himself out of a drunken state with Absolute Spirit as he said seriously, "Yu’Er and Mei’Er are in danger!"

And he quickly turned around and darted towards their startled cries.

Ji Wuzheng was surprised to see the astonishing display of his speed as he caught up with him, "You don't have to worry. The only way to this place was a narrow ridge and was guarded by a dozen elite proteges from the sect. Unless the intruder could fly, there was no way he could reach the Holy Chapter. It must be the rat that surprised them."

Yi Ping nodded solemnly but there was no mistaking the anxious expression on his face.

They quickly arrive on the scene only to find an old man trying to silence Yu’Er and Mei’Er as they gasp!

Yi Ping immediately shouted, "Who are you!"

Ji Wuzheng was surprised. How could a stranger enter the place of the Holy Chapter surrounded by mountain walls from all sides?

The old man quickly turned around and whispered, "Not too loud. I'm busy."

Yi Ping immediately attacked the old man, showing the Divine Firmament Hand! "You depraved old man! How dare you touch Yu’Er and Mei’Er!"

The old man hummed coldly, "Young man, you don't know who you are fighting …"

He was suddenly startled when Yi Ping unleashed a barrage of punches towards him as he shouted, "Good martial move! Great martial power! Now this is something I was hoping for. Are you Ji Wuzheng? No, wait, this is the Divine Horizon of the Hand…"

Suddenly, the old man raised his palm and pushed Yi Ping back with a hard blow that exploded violently!

Yi Ping was astonished at the old man's martial power even as he quickly recovered his balance!!!

Yu’Er and Mei’Er quickly recovered as they cried in Yi Ping embrace.

Yi Ping hugged them tightly, "Yu’Er, Mei’Er. Don't worry I'm here. Don'tbeafraid. Is he using you? What's going on?"

Yu’Er snorted, "Master, you're here! You never forget your Yu’Er?"

Yi Ping was surprised, "Of course I won't …"

Mei’Er asked in tears, "You won't forget Mei’Er as well?"

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "Of course not...what is going on here?"

Mei’Er looked relieved as she pointed at the old man, "This crazy old man appeared all of a sudden, attacking us and raving about absurd things! He kept asking where Xian’Er was. We don't know what he's talking about!"

The old man was clearly offended as he patted his distended stomach, "What crazy old man? Young lady, watch your manners. Do you know who I am? I asked a few questions but not only did you refuse to answer me, you even tried to attack me. I'm just trying to calm you down! Where did you get your sword? Even if these two swords turn to ashes, I know it belongs to Xian’Er!"

Yu’Er interrupted, "We don't know who Xian’Er-mu. Likes an old man like you who's still lusting after a girl. That's kind of outrageous, don't you think? !"

The old man roared furiously, "You! Wait till I catch you! If you don't tell me where you got that sword, don't blame me for being so much dirtier than you think!"

Yi Ping stepped forward with an angry look as he displayed his opening stance of the Divine Horizon Hand, Heaven's Volition Force!

The old man said to Yi Ping, "I recognize the Divine Firmament Hand. So you are Yi Ping's. To think that the Divine Horizon Clan has a pathetic bloodline like you. You really have humiliated the good name of the Divine Horizon Clan. !"

Yu’Er immediately said, "Teacher, be careful. There was strength within the strength within his martial power. Overall, there were three continuous forces with each wave growing stronger than the previous one. That's how he beat us and made us unconscious. I've never seen such a martial power technique before."

Mei’Er nodded as she said, "Be careful Sir."

Ji Wuzheng was shocked when he heard Yu’Er explain the details of this old man's martial arts show. He quickly warned Yi Ping, "Be careful! He was one of the super great exponents of the Martial Brotherhood. He was the Martial Sage of the Ironclad Clan, one of the Three Wise Men. He was also known as the Unbeatable Iron Fist!"

The Martial Sage hummed coldly, "Now are you afraid?"

Ji Wuzheng said angrily to the old man, "I am Ji Wuzheng. How dare you sneak into the Holy Chapter! Is that how orthodox exponents do their dirty business?"

The Martial Sage hummed coldly, "So you are Ji Wuzheng? I've been looking for you everywhere. So you are the one who has killed Brother Zuo? Nice, nice. Then we can settle our scores here tonight! You want to fight me at the same time or one by one? You can even call all the Holy Chapter Guards and I won't even be afraid. If you don't tell me where Xian’Er is, then I just need to turn the entire place upside down!"

Ji Wuzheng took out a card issued by Honor Manor and threw it at him, "The Honor Manor has just issued me a challenge that will be held in three days and both sides have agreed to observe a ceasefire for the next day. And now you are attacking the Sacred Hex Sect. Is this what Honor Manor meant by a truce?"

The Martial Sage was surprised, "There's a truce? I really don't know."

He really did not know because he had spent days climbing the precipitous cliff in the Holy Amalgamate Mountains. That was why he was able to sneak into the Holy Chapter so secretly. No one expected the intruder to come from the back mountains!

He quickly opened the invitation card to read the contents while muttering, "So it's true …"

With his shocked expression, Ji Wuzheng guessed that the Martial Sage was unaware of it. So he said, "Dear old senior senior, you can leave now. If you want to take revenge on me, then you will have to wait for three more days! Even if you are a legend of the martial fraternity, you still have to abide by it. The rules of the martial fraternity!"

The Martial Sage said, "It's not that easy. I have to take these two girls away first."

Yu’Er immediately said, "You..can you consider yourself a legend of the martial fraternity and a hero? Why don't you fight someone whose seniority is the same as yours? must've kicked your ass!"

The Martial Saintess laughed out loud, "Young Girl, even if you ask your protege mistress to come, even your mistress protege your mistress and even your mistress' protege mistress to come, your mistress to come, they are not my match!"

Mei’Er interrupted coldly, "What a brash old man!"

Yi Ping said, "Then what about me? I happen to be their teacher. Let me teach you a lesson!"

The Martial Sage laughed, "You! Young man! You are very young and are their teacher? What joke! From their affectionate eyes fixed on you, they are more like your little lover!"

Yu’Er and Mei’Er directly flushed.

The Martial Sage suddenly attacked Yi Ping with a powerful forward punch, "Let me test your martial foundation first!"

Yi Ping immediately reacted and countered with the Asper Horizon Hand!

There was a thunderous blow and the impact created a bursting wind force that immediately made Ji Wuzheng, Yu’Er and Mei’Er run backwards!

Just as Yi Ping had caught the blow of the Martial Sage, suddenly, there was a second, stronger martial power pushing through his Asper Horizon Hand!

Yi Ping quickly gathered all of his martial power and managed to suppress this second martial power, but not long after he stopped the second martial power, the third martial power managed to pierce through his palm, knocking it backwards!

Yi Ping slid backwards before he took a few forced steps to stabilize his balance!

Yu’Er and Mei’Er panicked as they shouted, "Master, are you alright? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?"

Yi Ping coughed, "I'm fine .. don't worry …"

Martial Sage was also dumbfounded. He had not expected Yi Ping to have such strong rebounding martial power as they clashed. This did not achieve the results he expected so he said, "Young man, let's fight again!"

Ji Wuzheng quickly stepped in front of the Martial Sage, "Old Senior. Everything must have a limit. You are where I am now. Surely you know the rules of the martial fraternity? You have vented your frustration. Surely that's enough?"

Suddenly, Mei’Er had unsheathed her precious long sword. The cold piercing sword energy from his sword could be felt by everyone as he displayed the Swallow Slash on the Martial Sage!

The Martial Sage quickly turned his palm into a fist as he caught the tip of his long sword between his fist! He yawned, "Young girl, you are ten years too early to even challenge me. I'll look for you within three days of that stupid truce."

Mei’Er flabbergasted, "You dirty old man!"

Yi Ping once again displayed the Divine Horizon Hands as he attacked the Martial Sage even as Ji Wuzheng yelled at him, "Brother, that's enough for tonight!"

Martial Sage hummed coldly, "Dominate young man!"

Suddenly, he raised both of his fists to receive the Divine Horizon Hands. When they were close, the Martial Sage suddenly showed dozens of fists as he rained down on Yi Ping!

Yi Ping was completely in disbelief as the Martial Sage martial power spread out its Divine Horizon Hands martial power and dropped it to the ground with a devastating rumbling impact!

Yu’Er and Mei’Er were beside Yi Ping immediately as they cried and comforted him.

Yi Ping struggled weakly on the ground and his entire body trembled! He truly did not believe that his Divine Firmament Hand could be destroyed in an instant as he stared blankly in bewilderment!"

The Martial Sage said coldly, "This is just a small lesson for you before I leave. If it wasn't for an old friend of mine, I'd have hit you even harder."

And he's gone in a moment!

Ji Wuzheng was stunned and shivered. The martial look of the Martial Sage was too deep and difficult to deal with as he muttered, "Iron Fist Undefeated ... Iron Fist Unbeatable …"

Yu’Er comforted Yi Ping, "Master, are you ... alright?"

Yi Ping trembled and muttered, "Yu’Er, don't worry about me. I'm really fine. I was just surprised that he seemed to know the weakness of my Divine Horizon Hand very well …"

As Mei’Er and Yu’Er helped Yi Ping stand up, Mei’Er suddenly said. "Ouch! Suddenly I remembered something!"

Yu’Er asked, "What's the matter?"

Mei’Er whispered, "Xian’Er? Isn't that also the name of our protege's mistress?"

Yu’Er smiled, "Mistress our protege will not know such a dirty old man and will not even bother to know him. It's just a coincidence."

Suddenly, there was a cry of shock in the darkness. And it seems like it is from the Martial Sage!

Yi Ping, Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Ji Wuzheng were startled as they quickly ran towards her cry.

As they turned to the smaller courtyard, they looked at Lie Qing, Youxue, Lingfeng and Ding Yun. They all stared awkwardly at Yi Ping, Ji Wuzheng, Yu’Er and Mei’Er!

Yi Ping was surprised to see them together.

Even more shocking, the Martial Sage was now lying on the ground in a bloody state!

Ji Wuzheng asked warily, "What happened? Did you know that we have a truce with the Orthodox Clan at the moment and I just allowed him to return to his side ?!"

Lie Qing was stroking her long hair as she looked timidly, "She is not dead yet. We've been holding ourselves back."

He added, "This dirty old man deliberately bumped into us without apologizing. After I tried to apologize from him, he kept saying he was a legend of the martial fraternity and there was no need for him to apologize to anyone. . And he even tried to grab me. To defend myself, I hit too hard and he's now lying down like this."

Youxue said almost inaudibly, "I just hit him a few times …"

Yi Ping said weakly, "There aren't many people who can survive a direct attack from your Penetrating Hands …"

Ding Yun smiled weakly, "I only hit him once with my sheath…"

Yi Ping muttered, "The scabbard-inspired martial power of yours can kill almost anyone …"

Lingfeng said, "I only hit him once with the Asper Horizon Hand.and once with the Great Dissolution Skill. I didn't know that Sister Lie Qing had conquered it…"

Yi Ping muttered, "Two of the most powerful divine skills in the martial fraternity, are used at the same time and perform a direct attack …"

Ji Wuzheng said, "Do you know who he is?"

They all shake their heads.

Ji Wuzheng smiled bitterly, "He is a Martial Sage, one of the Three Sages and also a grand protector master of the Ironclad Clan. He didn't lie to you. He is indeed a legend of the martial fraternity. Now can anyone say it? me, what should I do now?"
