Chapter 6

"Yilin, Yilin!" Outside the room, Tian Boguang had just left, and the voice of Master Dingyi sounded. Then came the voice of Yu Canghai, full of murderous intent: "Hunchback, scholar, you two brats, come out and die!"

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Pingzhi immediately looked at the big monk. The big monk also thought of what Lin Pingzhi had said, and his towering figure stood up instantly, shouting, "Boy, you helped me find Yilin and a wife, the big monk will take care of your matter!" With that, he leaped forward, directly smashing the door open and strode out.

"Yu Shorty, where are Lin Zhenan and his wife? Hand them over to the monk!" The big monk's voice was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums tremble, and his words also made Yu Canghai's heart shudder.

Outside the room, Yu Canghai gripped his long sword and shouted, "What Lin Zhenan and his wife? Big monk, don't talk nonsense."

Beside him, Dingyi, worried about Yilin, immediately interjected, "Bujie Monk, where is Yilin?"

"Old nun, the monk will take care of his daughter. You stand aside, I need to settle accounts with this Yu Shorty." With that, the big monk stood up and swung his hand, sending a powerful force that made Yu Canghai's clothes flutter.

Yu Canghai was not to be outdone. Without moving his body or hands, he thrust his sword forward, deeply understanding the essence of the Pine Wind Sword Technique: "immovable like a pine, swift like the wind." This move would have been impossible for Bai Xiaosheng to resist, but in the big monk's hands, it was useless. Bujie Monk pressed his hand down, the wind blew, and his robe bulged, colliding with Yu Canghai's sword with a loud thud. The immense force sent Yu Canghai's sword flying, and the big monk's palm struck toward his chest.

At the critical moment, Yu Canghai sidestepped, instantly moving to a different position, dodging the big monk's palm. At the same time, he kicked at the big monk's knee.

Bujie Monk laughed heartily, and the hem of his robe met Yu Canghai's Phantom Foot technique head-on. The bulging robe quickly indented and then bounced back, sending Yu Canghai flying. He then leaped, using the momentum to spin in the air, and his sword flashed with a green light, slicing down.

"Humph!" The big monk coldly snorted, yanked the beads from his neck, and swung them. With a loud crack, the three-foot-long sword met the beads. Bujie Monk used immense force to knock the sword out of Yu Canghai's hand and kicked him in the back.

Feeling the force from behind, the unsteady Yu Canghai in mid-air moved sideways again, dodging another attack from the big monk. His lightness skill was truly remarkable.

In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," although the Qingcheng Sect was often portrayed as a clown, their martial arts were quite extraordinary. What impressed Bai Xiaosheng the most was not the Heart-Piercing Palm, which might have come from the Nine Yin Manual, but the Qingcheng Sect's lightness skill.

In terms of speed, even Yue Buqun, who was slightly faster than Yu Canghai, could not catch him. Now, watching Yu Canghai dodge the big monk's attacks with his superior lightness skill, it was truly impressive!

The big monk, having set his sights on Yu Canghai, would not let him escape. They fought in the courtyard without any restraint, and Master Dingyi could not easily intervene.

These two, one the leader of the Qingcheng Sect and a fellow martial artist, the other the father of her disciple, made it difficult for her to choose sides. So she stood aside, watching. However, Dingyi was not foolish. While she watched the fight, she sent her disciples into the room, where they saw Bai Xiaosheng and the others.

Lin Pingzhi and Bai Xiaosheng paid no attention to the nuns; their eyes were already drawn to the fight outside. However, Linghuchong, who had just woken up, was embarrassed. A disciple of a righteous sect should not be in such a place, and now being with nuns was even more impolite. What made it worse was that the nun's senior sister had come, making even Linghuchong's thick skin blush. If not for his pale face from blood loss, he would have been as red as a monkey's bottom.

Outside, the fight between the big monk and Yu Canghai intensified. Yu Canghai, already injured by the big monk, gradually ran out of internal energy. The big monk, however, grew stronger, making it extremely difficult to resist his powerful attacks. He knew that if this continued, he would surely lose.

Thinking this, Yu Canghai used his lightness skill, creating multiple shadows around the big monk, making it hard to see clearly. Suddenly, his figure dispersed, and everyone was stunned—where did he go?

A voice came from the wall, and everyone looked up to see Yu Canghai leaping over it.

He ran?

Master Dingyi was stunned, cursing inwardly: "You, Yu Canghai, the leader of a sect, actually ran away? And left your disciple behind." She spat and shouted into the room, "Yilin, come out now!"

Inside the room, Yilin, her face flushed, looked at Linghuchong lying on the bed, her feet moving back and forth, unsure whether to go out. The obedient little nun, now for Linghuchong, had the intention to defy her master.

Looking at Yilin, Linghuchong said, "Sister Yilin, I'm fine now. Don't worry, go to your master." Hearing Linghuchong's words, Yilin nodded and left with her two senior sisters. The big monk also came in, but seeing Yilin leave, he followed her without entering.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Xiaosheng broke out in a cold sweat and gave Lin Pingzhi an apologetic look. Lin Pingzhi's eyes were red, his face full of frustration. He stood up, wanting to run to the big monk, but Bai Xiaosheng quickly stepped forward to stop him. Suddenly, a gust of wind came. Bai Xiaosheng's heart raced, and he spun around, kicking Lin Pingzhi away and rolling to the side.

With a loud thud, a palm strike hit the table and chairs, shattering them. Then a figure flashed by, grabbing Lin Pingzhi and running.

"Mu Gaofeng..." Bai Xiaosheng saw the hunchback and immediately recognized him. The hunchback glanced back at Bai Xiaosheng but did not stop, carrying Lin Pingzhi away like a swift fox.

"Stop!" The big monk roared, and his beads flew out. The hunchback, carrying Lin Pingzhi, sidestepped, but the beads turned and returned, hitting the spot where he had dodged.

'How formidable!' Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened. He did not think this was an accident; it was a well-calculated secondary attack by the big monk, requiring both strength and experience, which ordinary people could not achieve.

The ugly hunchback was also shocked by Bujie Monk's martial arts. However, he had been hiding for a long time to capture Lin Pingzhi and could not give up. He shouted, his voice old and sharp, and extremely unpleasant. He swung his wooden staff, and a blade shot out, emitting a dazzling light. There was a crisp sound, and Bujie Monk's beads scattered, falling to the ground. The blade and staff were also knocked away, but he did not care, grabbing Lin Pingzhi and leaping onto the wall, ready to leave.

At this critical moment, a calm and powerful voice echoed from the small alley outside: "Brother Mu, why are you abducting this young man?"

Mu Gaofeng was slightly startled and looked down to see a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar standing below, with several young disciples behind him. He immediately recognized them as members of the Huashan Sect, and the leader must be the Huashan Sect's leader, the Gentleman of the Sword, Yue Buqun.

"Ha ha... It's actually the leader of the Huashan Sect, the Gentleman of the Sword, what a surprise. What? Does the great gentleman Yue and the Huashan Sect disciples also like to visit brothels?" Mu Gaofeng's words were full of hidden meanings, and his tone was very strange, especially the phrase "great gentleman Yue," which sounded like a mockery, making people frown. However, Yue Buqun, with his high moral character, did not get angry and said calmly, "Brother Mu, why are you so angry? I see this young man is also a hunchback, but he seems to have no relation to you. Are you trying to take him as a disciple to pass on your legacy?"

"Ha ha... Exactly, Brother Yue, you have a keen eye. This young hunchback is exceptionally handsome, and I like him very much," Mu Gaofeng, with his thick skin, admitted it outright, leaving everyone speechless.

While he was talking to Yue Buqun, Bai Xiaosheng also came out, quickly walking to Bujie's side and saying, "Master, quickly save Lin Pingzhi. That hunchback will not let him off easily."

Bujie nodded but did not move. Bai Xiaosheng, puzzled, scratched his head in frustration. Yiqing, seeing this, stepped forward and whispered, "The hunchback has his hand on Lin Pingzhi's heart. If the master moves, the hunchback can instantly kill him."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng looked and saw it was true. He thanked Yiqing with a grateful smile, feeling frustrated with his lack of experience for not seeing such a simple thing.
