Chapter 87

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Yue said to his younger sister, Wang Qian, "Little sister, I have to go out for a while. It might take some time before I come back. You should practice your martial arts diligently at home and not let your skills deteriorate."

Wang Qian asked in surprise, "Is it Sister who sent you again?"

Every time Wang Yue went out, it was Dongfang Bubai who sent him on errands, and this time was no exception.

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Yes. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I finish the task."

Ten years ago, Wang Yue wanted to leave the Sun Moon Cult, but Dongfang Bubai did not agree. Now, Wang Yue pays a large sum of money to the Sun Moon Cult every year, but not only has he not been able to leave, his relationship with the cult has become even deeper.

Wang Yue is a member of the Sun Moon Cult, and when the leader asks him to do something, he cannot refuse.

"I hope this time I can bring Qu Yang back safely," Wang Yue thought to himself.

Wang Yue packed some silver and two sets of clothes, picked up his long sword, mounted his horse, and galloped out of Xiaohexian Village.

...

Mount Hua, the Huashan Sect.

Linghuchong, Yuelingshan, and Ludaoyou were sent down the mountain by Yipeng to purchase food and daily necessities.

"Little junior sister, you're so smart," Ludaoyou said happily. "If it weren't for you, we'd still be on Mount Hua, under the punishment of our master. This time we're going down the mountain for three days, so we can have a good time."

Yuelingshan also smiled and said, "Yes, I'll think about how to spend these three days. If we don't have a good time this time, we'll have to wait until next month."

"Senior brother, do you have any plans?" Ludaoyou asked Linghuchong.

Linghuchong smiled and said, "We'll see when we get to the city."

Ludaoyou had a lecherous smile on his lips. "Senior brother, the last time I went to 'Flowing Water Years,' the girls there were so beautiful. This time, I want to go again. How about you come with me?"

Linghuchong, of course, knew what 'Flowing Water Years' was—it was a very luxurious brothel.

"You're going to a place like that?" Linghuchong asked in surprise.

Ludaoyou laughed, "A man who doesn't enjoy life when he's young is a waste. Senior brother, you haven't even married Little Junior Sister yet, and you're already afraid of her. What will happen after you get married? As long as we keep Little Junior Sister away, there won't be any problems."

Linghuchong was somewhat tempted and then said, "Then let's go once?"

...

During this period, Wang Yue had been investigating Qu Yang's whereabouts, but Qu Yang was very secretive. Wang Yue found some clues, but they quickly disappeared.

Wang Yue sighed, thinking that if he had Li Qiushui's tracking skills, he wouldn't be so hard-pressed now.

Wang Yue walked down the street, and it was already brightly lit.

"Flowing Water Years?"

Wang Yue saw a sign and thought, "I'll go in and eat something."

An obese madam saw Wang Yue and said happily, "Oh, young master, this is your first time at Flowing Water Years. We have delicious food, entertainment, and beautiful girls..."

Before the madam could finish, Wang Yue took out a silver coin and said, "Don't talk anymore. Bring me the best meal."

"Uh?" The madam was surprised. Men who came to Flowing Water Years were there for pleasure, not to eat. Drinking a little wine was fine, but eating a meal was rare.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you have delicious food? I won't shortchange you," Wang Yue asked.

The madam came to her senses and smiled, "Yes, yes, young master, please come in."

As soon as Wang Yue entered Flowing Water Years, many people looked at him. His short hair was very noticeable.

Wang Yue's appearance was very spirited, but it was also quite unconventional.

Wang Yue didn't care about others' opinions and ate heartily.

Wang Yue noticed many martial artists carrying swords and knives around.

"Why are these martial artists gathered here?" Wang Yue wondered.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

The madam stood in the hall and said loudly, "Everyone knows that the most powerful person in the martial world is Dongfang Bubai, but we also have a Dongfang Bubai here at Flowing Water Years. Now, please welcome our courtesan, 'Dongfang Bubai.' Who will be the lucky young master to spend the night with her? I'm looking forward to it!"

A very beautiful woman performed a light-footed dance, her waist wrapped in red silk, dancing gracefully like a fairy descending from heaven.

The men present were all stunned.

Wang Yue was also surprised, "Dongfang Bai, why is she here?"

Dongfang Bubai saw Wang Yue and was also surprised. She didn't expect Wang Yue to be at Flowing Water Years.

Dongfang Bubai took a young martial artist and flew up to the second floor.

Wang Yue smiled coldly, "That young man is dead."

Although Dongfang Bai was a beautiful and delicate woman, she was ruthless. Wang Yue had known her for ten years and understood her character very well.

The Sun Moon Cult was called a demonic cult for a reason. The members of the Sun Moon Cult were all ruthless, with few being kind and gentle.

At this moment, two young men carrying long swords entered Flowing Water Years.

They were Linghuchong and Ludaoyou from the Huashan Sect.

"Sixth junior brother, we can just look around. Master didn't give us much money, and we still need to buy food and supplies," Linghuchong said.

Ludaoyou laughed, "Senior brother, don't worry. How could I dare to misuse Master's money? I have my own savings."

Ludaoyou took out a large bag of money.

"Two young masters, this way, please," the madam said with a smile.

Ludaoyou said, "Bring us a pot of good wine."

The madam smiled, "Sure, we have newly arrived 'Bamboo Leaf Green.' I'll bring it right away!"

Hearing "Bamboo Leaf Green," Linghuchong's eyes lit up.

Bamboo Leaf Green was his favorite wine.

"Senior brother, look," Ludaoyou pointed to Wang Yue, who was eating, "This person has such short hair. He doesn't look like a good person. Doesn't he know that 'the body and hair are gifts from one's parents'?"

Linghuchong said, "Sixth junior brother, you can't judge a person by their appearance. This young man is likely a skilled martial artist."

Linghuchong was right; Wang Yue was indeed a skilled martial artist in the martial world.

When Ludaoyou looked at Wang Yue again, the table was empty, and Wang Yue was gone.

Ludaoyou was surprised, "Senior brother, you were right. This person is indeed a skilled martial artist. He's so fast; I blinked, and he was gone."

...

Wang Yue went up to the second floor and entered Dongfang Bubai's room.

"Are you Dongfang Bubai?" the young man asked with a smile. "How does your 'Dongfang Bubai' compare to the Dongfang Bubai on Blackwood Cliff?" As he spoke, he reached out to grab Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai dodged his hand and smiled, "Don't be so hasty. I have a question for you. Why are so many martial artists gathered here?"

The young man laughed, "We are all here to deal with Dongfang Bubai. This time, we plan to poison him and then attack. Dongfang Bubai will surely die at our hands."

Dongfang Bubai laughed loudly, "Ha, with such low-level methods, you think you can kill Dongfang Bubai? What a joke. Blackwood Cliff is full of skilled martial artists, including the Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder Sects, the Twelve Flag Leaders, the Ten Elders, and the Left and Right Light Bearers. Ten years ago, the Five Great Sword Sects attacked Blackwood Cliff but couldn't even get close. They returned in disgrace. You think you can poison him? Are you dreaming? Besides, Dongfang Bubai knows everything. With his abilities, if he could be poisoned, he would have died hundreds of times already. Why wait for you to do it?"

The young man asked curiously, "How do you know this?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled, "Didn't you see the sign outside? I am Dongfang Bubai! The person behind you is one of the top experts of the Sun Moon Cult. If you can defeat him, then you can challenge me. Hehe..."

The young man turned around, his eyes filled with shock. When did another person enter the room? He saw Wang Yue sitting by the table, drinking wine.

Wang Yue smiled coldly, "Dongfang Bai, don't involve me in your affairs. Are you really Dongfang Bubai? Isn't Dongfang Bubai a man?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed loudly, "Do you believe me if I say I am Dongfang Bubai?"

Wang Yue asked, "Aren't you on Blackwood Cliff? Why are you here? Are you also looking for Qu Yang? If so, I'll go back to Xiaohexian Village. It seems that you and the leader don't trust me. If that's the case, why did you send me out?"

Dongfang Bubai shot a needle at the young man. The needle carried the Xuanming True Qi, and the intense cold quickly turned him into an ice sculpture, dead.

"Report..." a Sun Moon Cult disciple entered and reported to Dongfang Bubai.

Before he could finish, Dongfang Bubai interrupted, "Shut up. Leave the information, and I'll report to the leader myself."

The disciple didn't understand why Dongfang Bubai said this but looked at Wang Yue and quickly understood. The leader didn't want Wang Yue to know her identity.

"Little one, greet..." the Sun Moon Cult disciple bowed to Wang Yue but didn't know what to call him.

Wang Yue was just a minor figure in the Sun Moon Cult, but he was also the god of wealth, paying millions of silver to the cult every year. This made Wang Yue's position in the Sun Moon Cult very special. Even the Ten Elders would not dare to offend him.

"Call him Young Master Wang," Dongfang Bubai said.

"Yes, little one, greet Young Master Wang."

"Dispose of this person," Dongfang Bubai pointed to the dead young man.

The Sun Moon Cult disciple took out a porcelain bottle, sprinkled some powder, and the body quickly turned into pus. After disposing of the body, the disciple left.

Wang Yue frowned and said, "The Sun Moon Cult has such medicine?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled, "Don't think you're the only one who knows medicine. The Sun Moon Cult also has a divine doctor."

Wang Yue smiled, "Is it Ping Yizhi who made it?"

Wang Yue could also make such "corpse-dissolving powder," but he didn't bother with such things.

"I'm not here to find Qu Yang, but for another mission. Since the leader has entrusted you with finding Qu Yang, I won't interfere."

Dongfang Bubai said, "I just came to investigate why so many martial artists are gathering here. As expected, they are planning to attack the Sun Moon Cult again. Well, I'm leaving. See you later."

Dongfang Bubai left the room and went downstairs.

Ludaoyou saw Dongfang Bubai and patted Linghuchong, saying, "Senior brother, look, how beautiful."

Linghuchong turned around and saw Dongfang Bubai, surprised by her beauty.
