Chapter 79

After Wang Yue returned to Wang Family Village, he began to seclude himself to recuperate from his injuries.

The energy released by Li Xuan's self-destruction was incredibly powerful, likely no less than a million pounds. Even with the Yu Step, Wang Yue couldn't escape and was severely injured by the aftermath.

Wang Yue hadn't expected a Grandmaster's self-destruction to be so terrifying, with energy comparable to a small nuclear explosion. If Wang Yue had been a bit slower, he would have certainly lost his life.

A Grandmaster, when desperate, is extremely fearsome.

Now, Wang Yue no longer dared to kill Grandmasters without caution, fearing that they might self-destruct and take him down with them.

The New Year had already passed, and the New Year in Wang Family Village was celebrated with great enthusiasm. Compared to other commoners who still treated the New Year as a critical period, life in Wang Family Village was like living in paradise.

However, Wang Yue's family wasn't very happy.

Because after Wang Yue returned home, he secluded himself to heal his injuries and didn't even come out for the New Year.

After lunch, Li Qiushui said to Wang Yuyan and A Bi, "The New Year is over. This afternoon, I'll go to the National Martial Arts Hall. Wang He said he's too busy and needs me, an old woman, to help. You two will take care of things at home."

Wang He was now a late-stage Dark Force martial artist, a well-known figure in the martial world. After Wang Yue became a Pill Force martial artist and displayed his might at Shaolin Temple, more and more people came to the National Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts.

Wang He had asked Li Qiushui for help more than once.

Wang Yuyan frowned slightly and said, "Grandma, don't worry. A Bi and I will take care of things at home. I just don't know when Yue will recover from his injuries."

A Bi also looked worried, very concerned about Wang Yue.

Wang Yue's return from the Liao Dynasty had given Li Qiushui and Wang Yuyan a great shock.

Wang Yue was covered in blood, extremely weak, and mentally exhausted.

For him to survive such injuries was truly a miracle.

Li Qiushui didn't understand who could have injured a Grandmaster like Wang Yue so severely.

Wang Yue only said, "Li Xuan self-destructed," and then secluded himself to heal.

Li Qiushui said to Wang Yuyan and A Bi, "Don't worry. That boy has a big destiny and won't die so easily. Forcing a Grandmaster to self-destruct is something to be proud of."

At this moment, Xiao Huan came in and said, "Old Lady, Lady, A Zi has arrived, and Xiao Daxia is in trouble."

A Bi was startled and asked, "A Zi is here? How is she?"

A Zi was A Zhu's younger sister, and A Bi was very concerned when she heard she had arrived.

Wang Yuyan asked, "Xiao Daxia is in trouble? He is the Southern Duke of the Liao Dynasty. What could have happened to him?"

Xiao Huan shook her head and said, "I don't know. A Zi fainted as soon as she arrived in the village and didn't have time to explain what happened. I've already arranged for her to rest, and I believe she will wake up soon."

A Bi stood up and said, "Let's go see her."

Wang Yuyan said to Li Qiushui, "Grandma, you know medicine. Go check on A Zi. I hope nothing serious has happened."

...

After Li Qiushui took A Zi's pulse, she said, "It's nothing serious. This little girl is just exhausted and needs some rest. She will be fine soon."

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan and A Bi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother-in-law..." A Zi was still calling for Xiao Feng in her unconscious state.

"Don't... Save my brother-in-law quickly..."

When A Zi woke up and saw Wang Yuyan and A Bi by her bed, she burst into tears, "Where is Brother-in-law Wang Yue? I need to see him. My brother-in-law is in trouble. Brother-in-law Wang Yue, please go save him. Sister A Bi, you must save my brother-in-law and sister."

A Bi held A Zi's hand and comforted her, "A Zi, don't worry. Everything will be fine. We're all here. Tell us what happened to Xiao Daxia and Sister A Zhu."

A Zi said, "It's the Liao Dynasty's Imperial Preceptor, 'Yan Longyuan.' He defeated my brother-in-law. Emperor Yelü Hongji of the Liao Dynasty wants my brother-in-law to lead a million troops to attack the Song Dynasty. My brother-in-law refused, so Yan Longyuan and Yelü Hongji locked him in a dungeon."

"Wait," Li Qiushui said, "What did you say? Yan Longyuan? Isn't Yan Longyuan Murong Bo, who was killed by Wang Yue at Shaolin Temple? Why is he still the Imperial Preceptor of the Liao Dynasty?"

A Zi shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he is Yan Longyuan, and his martial arts are much stronger than before. My brother-in-law couldn't match him. He defeated my brother-in-law in just three moves, then used golden needles to seal his acupoints, preventing him from using his true qi. He also locked my brother-in-law in the dungeon with iron chains. I saw the situation and hid, then escaped. Sister A Bi, you must save my brother-in-law and sister."

A Bi nodded and said, "A Zi, don't worry. We will find a way."

Li Qiushui frowned and said, "This isn't going to be easy. To defeat Xiao Feng in just three moves, this person must be a Grandmaster. In the world, only a Grandmaster can defeat Xiao Feng. Moreover, if we enter the Liao Dynasty, we will face not only a Grandmaster but also a vast army. Even if 'Yan Longyuan' doesn't attack, we will be overwhelmed. We will surely die."

Although Li Qiushui and the others were very powerful, they weren't arrogant enough to think they could fight a vast army, let alone a Grandmaster.

Only a Grandmaster could face another Grandmaster.

Hearing this, A Zi was terrified and asked, "What should we do? Should we let my brother-in-law and sister die in the Liao Dynasty's dungeon?"

After escaping the Liao Dynasty, A Zi's first thought was Wang Yue. As a Grandmaster, if he were willing to act, he could certainly save Xiao Feng.

A Bi said to Li Qiushui, "Grandma, think of a way. No matter what, we must save Sister A Zhu and Xiao Daxia."

Li Qiushui thought for a moment and said, "A Bi, send a message to Xuzhu and Duan Yu. They are Xiao Feng's sworn brothers and can't stand by if he's in trouble. Also, send a message to Liu Qing of the Six-Fan Gate. With a million Liao troops heading south, the court must find a way to resist. I will lead the experts from the National Martial Arts Hall to the Liao Dynasty first."

Li Qiushui didn't care about Xiao Feng's life, but with a million Liao troops attacking the Song Dynasty, she couldn't stand by. If the Song Dynasty fell, Wang Family Village would also be in danger.

"Unfortunately, Wang Yue is in seclusion right now," Li Qiushui thought, "If he were here, things would be much easier."

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "Grandma, how can we let you go alone? If we go, we will go together. A Bi's martial arts are at the peak of the Dark Force, and mine are at the late stage. With our skills, we should be able to help."

Li Qiushui nodded and said, "Alright, but you must promise me that if you encounter danger, you will run away first. After all, the other side has a Grandmaster. I hope Liu Qing can hold him off. Liu Qing is the best martial artist in the world."

"Grandma, we will," Wang Yuyan said.

A Bi also said, "We won't die. I have a son. I won't die."

Li Qiushui said, "Alright, let's act separately. Gather everyone at the Yanmen Pass."

...

Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan, A Bi, Xiao Huan, Wang He, and the Dark Force experts from the National Martial Arts Hall all went to the Liao Dynasty to save Xiao Feng. After they left, Wang Yue's seclusion ended.

"Finally recovered. A Grandmaster's self-destruction is truly terrifying," Wang Yue thought, still feeling a bit of fear when he recalled the power of Li Xuan's self-destruction.

"Village Head," a servant greeted Wang Yue after he emerged from seclusion.

Wang Yue didn't see Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan, or A Bi, and his son "Wang Yu" was being taken care of by a wet nurse.

"Where are the ladies?" Wang Yue asked, frowning slightly.

The servant said, "The ladies and the old lady went to the Liao Dynasty to save someone. Emperor Yelü Hongji and Imperial Preceptor Yan Longyuan have led a million troops south."

Wang Yue was surprised. Yan Longyuan?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yue sneered, "Yan Longyuan? Yan Longyuan is probably already in hell. This fake Yan Longyuan must be Murong Fu. Hmph, Murong Fu, you think you can achieve your dream of restoring your kingdom by relying on your father's position as Imperial Preceptor? What a delusion."

"The old lady said that this Yan Longyuan is a Grandmaster and that you should go to the Liao Dynasty as soon as you come out of seclusion," the servant said.

Wang Yue was shocked. Murong Fu had become a Grandmaster?

Was the Northern Mystic Art really that powerful?

"Alright, I understand. I'll go now," Wang Yue left Wang Family Village and rushed to the Liao Dynasty as fast as he could.

...

In the Liao Dynasty, at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Yelü Qiyun, Xiao Zhan, and Li Jian found Murong Fu.

"You are not Yan Longyuan. Who are you?" Yelü Qiyun shouted, "Did you make the emperor lead the troops south to attack the Song Dynasty? Do you know that by doing this, you are putting the Liao Dynasty in a desperate situation, and even the royal family might be assassinated by Liu Qing? You deserve to die!"

Murong Fu sneered, "Old man, I am now the Imperial Preceptor of the Liao Dynasty, second only to the emperor and above all others. How dare you shout at me? It seems you want to die!"

Xiao Zhan also said, "I don't care who you are. You better stop this now, or don't blame us for being impolite. Even if your martial arts are strong, we are not afraid."

Murong Fu laughed, "Sending a million Liao troops to attack the Song Dynasty wasn't my idea, was it? Haven't you been preparing for a year?"

Yelü Qiyun shouted, "But the Wolf God and Li Xuan didn't appear. Without them, the troops cannot move! Without them, none of us can match Liu Qing. You are sending us to our deaths by making the troops move south!"

Murong Fu sneered, "Li Xuan is already dead at Wang Yue's hands and won't appear again. As for the Wolf God, hahaha, his entire martial arts have been absorbed by me. Liu Qing, the best martial artist in the world? Hmph, I'm not afraid of him now. I want to see who is the best in the world, Liu Qing or me, Murong Fu. You three are also half-step Grandmasters. To defeat Liu Qing and Wang Yue, I need your martial arts. Hahaha... Northern Mystic Art, absorb!"

Murong Fu released three streams of true qi, instantly enveloping Yelü Qiyun, Xiao Zhan, and Li Jian, and a powerful suction force absorbed all their martial arts.

After absorbing their martial arts, Murong Fu looked at the dried corpses on the ground and laughed, "The true qi of half-step Grandmasters is far inferior to the true qi of the Wolf God. The energy levels are completely different. But at least I gained tens of thousands of pounds of strength, which is not a small gain." Murong Fu raised his sword and said coldly, "Now, my strength has surpassed 300,000 pounds. Wang Yue, Liu Qing, you will all die at my hands. I, Murong Fu, am the best in the world, the true emperor, the ruler of the world!"
