Li Qiushui, of course, knew that Wang Yue was avoiding her; otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared at this critical moment, and she wouldn't know where he was.
Li Qiushui thought to herself, "It seems that it's unlikely I can go with that brat Wang Yue to kill that despicable Wu Xingyun. Wu Xingyun is currently in the process of dispersing her internal energy to rejuvenate, which is the best time to kill her. Even if she hasn't lost her martial arts skills, I, Li Qiushui, am not necessarily a match for her."
Li Qiushui practiced the internal family boxing, and her martial arts had reached a new level. If she fought Wu Xingyun at her peak, even if she couldn't win, she wouldn't have to flee in defeat like before.
"I'll go to Tianshan right now!" Li Qiushui was anxious and didn't want to waste any more time.
Aibi, seeing that Li Qiushui was about to leave, hurriedly said, "Grandma, you've come here after such a long time, why don't you stay in the village for a while? Although the village is simple and can't compare to the palace, it's not lacking in anything. If you want to eat something, I'll have the servants prepare it right away. Brother Wang Yue might come back soon."
Li Qiushui glared at Aibi and coldly snorted, "No need. After I kill that despicable Wu Xingyun, I'll come back to settle accounts with that brat Wang Yue. I don't believe I can't deal with him!"
Li Qiushui used the Lingbo Weibu technique, left the house, and turned into a white shadow, quickly disappearing.
Aibi sighed, "Brother Wang Yue was right; it's best not to get involved in killing. Li Qiushui is already eighty or ninety years old, yet she still thinks about fighting and killing all day. Sigh."
...
Murong Fu, with Bao Buli and Feng Bo'e, found a secluded place to practice and recuperate.
After reading the "Beiming Shen Gong," Murong Fu immediately began practicing according to the manual.
The "Beiming Shen Gong" was so miraculous that it made Murong Fu ecstatic. This feeling was only comparable to when he obtained Wang Yue's boxing manual years ago.
"The 'Beiming Shen Gong' is indeed miraculous, worthy of being the highest martial arts manual of the Xianxiao Sect, and only the sect leader can practice it." Murong Fu followed the Beiming Shen Gong's energy circulation route, converting his entire body's energy into Beiming energy.
Murong Fu practiced the complete version of the Beiming Shen Gong, which was much more powerful than the incomplete version practiced by Duan Yu.
"Wang Yue, even if I, Murong Fu, cannot become an internal family boxing expert, my power will surpass yours in the future. I, Murong Fu, will absorb the internal energy of all the experts in the world to strengthen myself. Soon, you will die at my hands!" Murong Fu's eyes were filled with resentment, and he could already imagine Wang Yue's tragic death at his hands.
...
Wang Yue, Wang Yuyan, and Xiaohuan quickly traveled. They arrived at Tianshan after eight days.
"Tianshan is truly magnificent," Wang Yuyan said, looking at the undulating mountains.
In the water towns of Jiangnan, such magnificent mountains could not be seen.
"The world is vast, and there are many wonders. Tianshan is not even the largest," Wang Yue smiled. "Let's find the Lingjiu Palace first."
Wang Yue didn't know where the Lingjiu Palace was, and it would take some time to find it in Tianshan.
...
In the Liao Dynasty.
A middle-aged man with white hair and wearing a wolf fur coat appeared in the city of Nanjing.
He walked to the gate of the Southern Prince's Palace and nodded, "Xiao Feng handles military affairs quite well. However, it is said that Xiao Feng has extraordinary talent and exceptional martial arts aptitude. I hope that after he returns, with my guidance, he can become a grandmaster. Sigh."
The body of the white-haired middle-aged man transformed, and he quickly disappeared.
The people around him seemed not to have seen him, continuing their activities without any reaction.
The white-haired middle-aged man turned into a stream of light and flew out of the city of Nanjing.
Outside the palace of Xixia. The white-haired man in the wolf fur coat suddenly appeared, and a mental force transmitted, "Li Xuan, I have arrived. Come out and meet me!"
This mental force transmission was very secretive, even a martial artist at Li Qiushui's level couldn't detect it.
Soon, another mental force transmitted, "Wolf God? Why are you not staying in the Blood Wolf Valley? What are you doing in Xixia? Do you want to fight me?"
The white-haired man in the wolf fur coat was the strongest person in the Liao Dynasty, the "Wolf God."
A black light flashed behind the Wolf God, and a black-clothed youth appeared.
This youth was the head of the First-Class Hall of Xixia, Li Xuan.
The Wolf God turned around and looked at Li Xuan, coldly smiling, "Decades have passed, and you haven't changed at all. Using mental force and true energy to maintain your appearance, is it necessary? Let's find a place to talk."
Li Xuan nodded, "Alright. I know of a good tavern with excellent food. Let's go there."
Li Xuan led the Wolf God to the tavern, ordered a table of good dishes, and two jars of good wine. They ate and talked.
"Speak, what do you want from me?" Li Xuan asked.
The Wolf God said, "I plan to kill Liu Qing. However, I am not his match alone, so I came to ask for your help. Of course, you can refuse."
Li Xuan's pupils constricted, "Wolf God, are you crazy? You want to kill Liu Qing? Liu Qing is the strongest person in the world, and his sword intent can make gods and demons retreat. Even though we are both grandmasters, we may not be his match. We might be killed by him if we go. Don't forget, in the Song Dynasty, there is also an old monk hidden in Shaolin Temple."
In the Song Dynasty, there were two grandmasters: Liu Qing of the Six-Fan Gate and the old monk who sweeps the floor in Shaolin Temple.
These two powerful figures made the Wolf God and Li Xuan very wary.
The Wolf God's eyes were cold, "Of course, I know Liu Qing is powerful. Even if we join forces, we may not be his match. But we have no choice. Even if we die together with Liu Qing, it's worth it."
"Li Xuan, you are 140 years old, and I am 142. The lifespan of a grandmaster is 150 years, and no matter how powerful, no one can exceed this limit. I now understand that a grandmaster is just a martial artist, not a god, and cannot live forever. We don't have many years left. What will happen to the Liao Dynasty and Xixia when we die? Who will protect the royal families?"
"Liu Qing has extraordinary martial arts talent, which is rare in the world. He became a grandmaster at the age of 36 and is now less than 90 years old. This means that Liu Qing can ensure the safety of the Song Dynasty for at least 60 more years. As long as he lives, the Song Dynasty will not fall, and the Song royal family will not be destroyed. As for the old monk in Shaolin Temple, although his martial arts are high, he is stronger than us, but he is not a threat. He is older than me and has been hiding in Shaolin Temple for 70-80 years, so he doesn't have many years left."
Li Xuan's expression was serious. Although he didn't like working with the Wolf God, what the Wolf God said was true.
The grandmasters had an agreement not to harm ordinary people, especially not to assassinate emperors or massacre royal family members.
The assassination by a grandmaster is very terrifying and almost impossible to prevent.
The current peace is maintained because everyone is wary and dares not act rashly.
However, if the Liao Dynasty and Xixia lose their grandmasters, the Song Dynasty will have no reservations.
Liu Qing can kill all the royal family members of the two countries, causing the Liao Dynasty and Xixia to collapse instantly.
"Wolf God, what do you plan to do?" Li Xuan asked.
The Wolf God said, "I will have the Liao Dynasty's million-strong army reach the Yanmen Pass, forcing Liu Qing to appear. We will fight him to the death. This time, either he dies or we perish. I will bring Yelü Qiyun, Xiao Zhan, and Li Jian. Although they are not grandmasters, their martial arts are extraordinary and might play a significant role in a critical moment."
Grandmasters have mental forces, so it's impossible to ambush them. They can only fight openly.
Li Xuan smiled bitterly, "Your Liao Dynasty has three semi-grandmasters, while in Xixia, besides me, only Li Qiushui is competent. The First-Class Hall of Xixia is full of useless people, and the strongest is 'Evil to the Core' Duan Yanqing. I, as the head of the First-Class Hall, am truly a failure. Wolf God, when do you plan to act?"
The Wolf God thought for a moment, "One year. We will act in one year. It takes more than a few days to prepare a million-strong army. If we can eliminate Liu Qing this time, the Song Dynasty will be ours."
The Liao Dynasty needs a year to prepare supplies and military equipment, and the Wolf God hopes to use this year to cultivate Xiao Feng. No matter what, the Liao Dynasty needs a grandmaster to sit in.
Yelü Qiyun and Xiao Zhan are too old, and their potential has been fully tapped, so they have no hope of becoming grandmasters. However, Xiao Feng has the potential to become a grandmaster.
As for Li Jian, he doesn't need to be considered because he is not a Liao person.
Li Xuan nodded, "Alright, we will act in one year."
Li Xuan had no choice. For the royal family and Xixia, he must act.
...
In Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, at the headquarters of the Six-Fan Gate.
Liu Qing had just finished handling official business when his subordinate reported, "Sir, we received news from Xixia that the Wolf God of the Liao Dynasty met with Li Xuan. We don't know what they discussed."
Liu Qing, although nearly 90 years old, still looked like he was only 25-26.
"The Wolf God and Li Xuan met?" Liu Qing frowned and said softly, "It seems these two old ghosts are up to something sinister."
Liu Qing looked at his subordinate and said, "I know about this. Don't let our people investigate the Wolf God and Li Xuan. They are no match for them and will surely die if discovered. I will handle this personally. You may leave."
"Yes, sir."
After his subordinate left, Liu Qing said, "War is coming. It seems I need to go to Xixia personally."
Liu Qing, dressed in green, left the Six-Fan Gate and headed for Xixia.
...
Heaven rewards those who are diligent. Wang Yue finally found the location of the Lingjiu Palace.
Wang Yue, with Wang Yuyan and Xiaohuan, quietly entered the secret chamber of the Lingjiu Palace and began to study the martial arts and books inside.
"Yuyan, Xiaohuan, you can look at and remember the martial arts on these stone walls, but you cannot practice them," Wang Yue said to Wang Yuyan and Xiaohuan. "Your internal energy is not sufficient, and practicing these advanced martial arts will lead to a mental breakdown."
Although Xiaohuan was already a dark force martial artist with all her meridians unblocked, she could practice any true energy, these martial arts were too advanced and should be practiced from the basics. Rashly practicing these advanced martial arts would make it difficult to build a solid foundation in the future.
Wang Yuyan nodded, "Yue, don't worry, I won't practice rashly."
Xiaohuan also said, "Village Chief, I haven't even finished practicing my internal family boxing. How can I practice other martial arts? I will also practice my internal family boxing to the same level as the Village Chief, and be as powerful as the Village Chief in the future."
