Chapter 67

"A bridge made of iron chains has been cut. We can't cross it. Now, the Vulture Peak must have been breached. There are probably very few of our sisters who have survived," said a Vulture Peak female disciple.

On their way here, they had already seen many Vulture Peak disciples killed. With the iron chain bridge cut, something bad must have happened.

"Hmph, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Islands all deserve to die!" said another female disciple.

Xuzhu glanced at the opposite cliff and said, "The distance isn't that far. We should be able to make it."

Li Qiushui glared at Xuzhu and said, "Little monk, with your current skills, if you can't even cross this small gap, you would truly be wasting this supreme internal strength. Take me across!"

When Li Qiushui still had her internal strength, such a cliff was easy to cross. Xuzhu's current skills far exceeded Li Qiushui's prime, so taking someone across was not a problem.

"Yes, Uncle!"

Xuzhu carried Li Qiushui and leaped, flying over the cliff to the other side.

Xuzhu threw the iron chain to the Vulture Peak disciples to secure it.

"I will go to Vulture Peak with Uncle first," Xuzhu said.

"Yes, Lord!"

Xuzhu picked up a few pine cones from the ground.

Li Qiushui asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, they are for projectiles. I don't want to kill anyone, so I'll use pine cones as projectiles," Xuzhu said.

Li Qiushui coldly snorted and, without waiting for Xuzhu, rushed towards Vulture Peak.

...

Vulture Peak.

More than a dozen female disciples were lying on the ground, their acupoints sealed, including Mei Jian and Zhu Jian.

"Slap." Wu Lao Da slapped a woman. "Speak! Where is the antidote for the Life and Death Mark? If you don't hand it over, you will all die today."

The woman glared with resentment but did not yield: "Even if you kill us, you won't get the antidote. The Life and Death Mark has no antidote. You are all waiting to die. When the Lord returns, you will all be buried with us."

Wu Lao Da drew his knife to kill the woman, but Wang Yuyan stopped him at that moment: "Stop! Cousin, make them stop. You have already killed many people. Is it not enough? They don't know the antidote. What's the point of killing them?"

Duan Yu also did not want the people of Vulture Peak to die and nodded: "Yes, yes. Young Master Murong, Miss Wang is right. Spare them."

When Murong Fu arrived at Vulture Peak, he saw Wang Yuyan and Xiao Huan. At that time, he was still afraid that Wang Yue was at Vulture Peak, but after several tests, he confirmed that Wang Yue was not there. So he acted without hesitation.

"Cousin, don't meddle in this matter," Murong Fu said with a cold laugh. "Since the heroes of the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Islands have asked me, Murong Fu, to uphold justice, I must find the antidote for them. Even if the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady really returns, with so many of us, how could we be afraid of her? Moreover, my martial arts have greatly improved, and the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady will surely be defeated."

"Clang..."

Murong Fu's sword light flashed, about to kill the woman.

Wang Yuyan closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight of her sisters dying.

Xiao Huan looked at Murong Fu with anger, but her martial arts were only first-class, far inferior to Murong Fu, and she had no power to stop him.

The female disciple was about to die.

At that moment...

"Puff..."

A black stream of light flew and struck Murong Fu's sword, making a crisp sound.

The sword light deviated, cutting a deep mark on the ground.

"Who?" Murong Fu shouted, "Come out, young master!"

"Heavenly Mountain Old Lady."

"It's the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady."

"The Old Lady is back, we're doomed!"

The people from the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Islands all looked shocked, their eyes filled with despair. The Heavenly Mountain Old Lady was too powerful, and they could not resist her. Even Murong Fu could not give them a sense of security.

"Ha ha. Murong Fu, you have a big mouth! If my senior sister really returned, I wonder if you would still dare to speak such big words?" Li Qiushui entered the hall with Xuzhu.

The black stream of light was a pine cone thrown by Xuzhu.

Hearing Li Qiushui's voice, Murong Fu was a bit afraid. Li Qiushui was too powerful. But thinking that he had cultivated the Northern Sea Divine Skill and his martial arts had greatly improved, he might not lose to Li Qiushui, Murong Fu's mind calmed down.

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Li Qiushui in confusion, then at Wang Yuyan.

These two women were too similar, both young and beautiful. The only difference was that Li Qiushui had white hair, while Wang Yuyan had black hair. Li Qiushui's aura was also more fierce than Wang Yuyan's.

"Grandma?" Wang Yuyan called softly.

Wang Yuyan had seen Li Qiushui when she was very young, but now she had no memory of it. Although Li Qiushui had arranged for Wang Yuyan to marry Wang Yue, she did not come to their wedding. So, Wang Yuyan did not recognize Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui walked to Wang Yuyan and asked, "You are Yuyan? Indeed, you look just like your mother when she was young. Why are you at Vulture Peak? Did that damned Wang Yue bring you here?"

Although Li Qiushui's grudge with the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady had been resolved, she still had a lot of resentment towards Wang Yue.

Wang Yuyan nodded, "Yes, Yue Lang brought Xiao Huan and me to Tian Shan. Grandma, are you leaving again?"

Li Qiushui smiled, "No, I'm not leaving. This time, I'll go back to Wang Family Village with you. I wonder if you will take care of this old woman."

Wang Yuyan, moved to tears, nodded, "Yes, yes. Yue Lang and I will definitely take good care of you, Grandma."

Murong Fu said to Li Qiushui, "Senior Li, this is our grudge with Vulture Peak. I hope you don't get involved."

Li Qiushui coldly laughed at Murong Fu, "Murong Fu, others may not know your ambitions, but I do. You just want to gather these ragtag groups under your command, right? Ha ha, don't worry, I have lost all my true qi and am no match for you. I can't stop you. My senior sister, the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady, has also passed away. The current head of Vulture Peak is this little monk, Xuzhu."

Li Qiushui pointed at Xuzhu.

Xuzhu, in a flash, released the acupoints of the Vulture Peak female disciples, allowing them to move freely.

"Thank you, Lord," the female disciples respectfully said.

Xuzhu glanced at Murong Fu and clasped his hands, "Amitabha. Young Master Murong, on our way here, we saw bodies everywhere. What grudge do you have with Vulture Peak? Why did you kill so many people?"

Xuzhu, seeing the bodies all over Vulture Peak, felt uncomfortable despite his kind heart.

Xuzhu now categorized Murong Fu as a villain like Ding Chunqiu.

Murong Fu was a bit wary of Xuzhu, unable to gauge his martial arts.

"Little monk, I didn't expect that in just a few months, you have become the master of Vulture Peak. Truly surprising. The heroes of the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Islands have been marked with the Life and Death Mark by the Heavenly Mountain Old Lady. If you hand over the antidote, we will leave immediately."

Li Qiushui coldly laughed, "Murong Fu, you have killed so many people and still want the antidote? Whether you can leave Tian Shan today is still a question. Ha ha, truly laughable."

Murong Fu frowned and asked, "Senior Li, didn't you say you wouldn't get involved?"

Li Qiushui said, "Yes, I won't get involved. Xuzhu, Murong Fu brought so many demons and devils to Tian Shan and killed so many people. As the master of Vulture Peak, you should handle it yourself."

With that, Li Qiushui took Wang Yuyan's hand and smiled, "Yuyan, come with Grandma. We have a lot to talk about."

Xiao Huan followed Wang Yuyan and Li Qiushui.

In the hall, only Xuzhu was left to deal with the situation.

"Xuzhu, are you really not going to hand over the antidote?" Murong Fu pointed his sword at Xuzhu.

Xuzhu sighed, "When the Old Lady passed away, she did not give me the antidote."

"Hmph, if that's the case, let's see who is stronger." Although Murong Fu was wary of Xuzhu, he had no choice but to fight. To gather the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Islands under his command, he had to get the antidote for the Life and Death Mark.

Murong Fu planned to remove the Life and Death Mark from these people and then control them with poison, making them serve him.

"Since that's the case, I will learn from Young Master Murong's skills." Xuzhu used the Six Yang Palms of Heavenly Mountain, and the scorching palm force made the surroundings boil with heat.

"Clang." Murong Fu's sword stabbed out, engaging Xuzhu in battle.

"Boom!"

Murong Fu was pushed back by the palm force, and Xuzhu's sleeve was torn by the sword light.

In this clash, Xuzhu had the upper hand.

Murong Fu coldly laughed in his heart, "This little monk has such powerful internal strength, far beyond what I can match now. But I have the Northern Sea Divine Skill. Your internal strength is mine!"

Murong Fu struck Xuzhu with another palm, this time trying to absorb his true qi.

Xuzhu also struck with a palm, meeting Murong Fu's hand.

"Bang."

A dull sound echoed, and the energy waves rippled visibly.

Xuzhu and Murong Fu both changed their expressions, feeling a powerful suction from the other's palm.

"Northern Sea Divine Skill!"

They said in unison.

Xuzhu did not expect Murong Fu to also know the Northern Sea Divine Skill.

Xuzhu's true qi was stronger than Murong Fu's, so the power of the Northern Sea Divine Skill was also greater.

Soon, Murong Fu felt his true qi flowing into Xuzhu's palm.

"Retract the palm!"

Murong Fu reversed his true qi.

"Boom."

Murong Fu was pushed back by the powerful force but managed to break free from Xuzhu's palm.

"Ah..."

At that moment, Wu Lao Da suddenly screamed, then his body itched, and he suffered terribly.

Xuzhu came to Wu Lao Da's side, pressed a few acupoints on his body, and used the Six Yang Palms of Heavenly Mountain to remove the Life and Death Mark.

Soon, the Life and Death Mark on Wu Lao Da's body was removed. Wu Lao Da patted his body, feeling relieved, and excitedly said, "Ah, I'm fine. My Life and Death Mark is gone!"

Seeing Xuzhu could remove the Life and Death Mark, the others were excited and all knelt down, shouting, "Please, Lord, remove the Life and Death Mark for us."

Xuzhu nodded, "All of you stand up. I will do my best to remove the Life and Death Mark from your bodies."

"Thank you, Lord."

Murong Fu was furious, his good fortune ruined again. He said to Bao Buzong and Feng Bo'e, "Let's go!"

Xuzhu said, "Young Master Murong..."

Murong Fu coldly laughed, "What, do you want to keep me, Murong Fu? Even if your martial arts are higher than mine, I, Murong Fu, can still leave if I want to."

Wu Lao Da looked at Murong Fu's back and said to Xuzhu, "Lord, are you just letting them go? On the way up the mountain, Murong Fu killed the most people and was the most cruel. Pah, he has the heart of a wolf, wanting us to serve him. Dream on."

Xuzhu sighed, "Let them go."
