Shi Guanyin turned her head, her eyes seemed to be ignited by fire.

No woman can tolerate being told that she is old, because the aging of a beauty is one of the saddest things in the world. With just this one sentence, all of Shi Guanyin’s beautiful thoughts turned into murderous intent!
She looked at Yuan Suiyun, but felt that she couldn’t understand him. She couldn’t help but ask him one last question: “You didn’t have to provoke my anger. You could have flattered me, made me happy, pretended to be nice to me, or even fought me directly. You could have done that!”

“Yes, I could have.” Yuan Suiyun seemed calm. “But it doesn’t make any difference.”

What an arrogant boy!
Shi Guanyin sneered and raised her hand to attack him. She was confident in her strength and should not take the initiative to attack Yuan Suiyun, but should wait for him to attack first. However, Yuan Suiyun had already aroused her anger, so there was no need to talk about the code of conduct in the martial arts world. She would let him know how stupid it was to think that he had some ability and come to provoke her!

However, even when fighting, her figure was still graceful, and her movements were still elegant, like a butterfly flapping its gorgeous wings, dancing freely in the hall. The fluttering sleeves, accompanied by the breeze, lightly scraped across Yuan Suiyun’s arm – but this move alone was enough to break Yuan Suiyun’s arm!

However, Yuan Suiyun did not dodge, but went straight towards her! Shi Guanyin only felt a flash before her eyes, and the opponent had easily flown over her head, landed behind her, and raised his hand to hit her back. Shi Guanyin kicked with her toes, raised her clothes, and the corner of her clothes mixed with internal force blocked his palm wind – almost at the same time, Yuan Suiyun’s foot had already whipped over like a whip, sweeping towards her lower body. Shi Guanyin crossed her feet and hit his calf. Both of them were shaken by each other’s internal force and separated again.

But in the blink of an eye, the two had already fought several times, and their minds were completely focused on each other, not caring about the people around them. Yun Chuxiu took the wine pot on the table, raised his head, and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. It was only at this time that the King of Kucha suddenly woke up from a dream and shouted.

“My…my beloved?” He stared at the beautiful face of Shi Guanyin in shock and stood up subconsciously. “Guards! Guards! What are you still standing there for? Protect the princess and capture that man for me!”

The guards standing around the hall heard the order, raised their spears and rushed forward – however, they did not stop Shi Guanyin and Yuan Suiyun, but when passing by Yun Chuxiu, they suddenly raised their spears together, as if they wanted to prick him like a hedgehog!
Of course Yun Chuxiu was not turned into a hedgehog.

He was still sitting in his seat, hooking the wine pot with one finger, looking at the duel in front of him. Beside him, suddenly several sword lights appeared. It was Ding Feng, Li Zixi and others who were dressed as traveling merchants who drew their swords and blocked the joint attack of the guards!
They scattered around Yun Chuxiu in twos and threes, brandishing their swords, unceremoniously cutting off the arms of those approaching, slitting their throats, and splashing blood across the air onto the food in front of Yun Chuxiu. He lowered his eyes to take a look, and suddenly sighed, “What a pity.”

The surprised expression disappeared from the face of the King of Kucha. He asked in a low voice: “What a pity?”

“I’ve heard that the wonderful monk Wuhua is proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, literature, and martial arts. I came here to listen to your famous music.” Yun Chuxiu said. “Unfortunately, this place is no longer suitable for playing unparalleled music.”

The King of Kucha asked, “Can’t your flute be played as well?”

Yun Chuxiu said: “No. Because when I use it to kill people, it becomes a weapon and loses the purity of a musical instrument.”

Hearing this, the King of Kucha couldn’t help but sigh.

Yun Chuxiu asked him, “What are you regretting?”

The King of Kucha, no, it should be the famous monk Wuhua in the past, sighed: “It’s a pity that I couldn’t meet you earlier. Your Excellency is so elegant, maybe we could become good friends.”

——Before he finished speaking, he suddenly soared into the air, spreading his arms and swooping down like an eagle! Seeing this, the guards around him changed their expressions and hurriedly held their swords to block him. However, Wuhua’s sleeve flashed with a knife, and blood splattered immediately. Even with everyone’s combined efforts to stop him, they couldn’t even resist his knife!

Yun Chuxiu still sat there without moving – was he not afraid or terrified at all? Was he not going to resist or dodge, just waiting to die?
A trace of doubt flashed in Wuhua’s eyes, but that was all. Because his “Windward Slash” was about to fall on Yun Chuxiu’s head, and this knife was so fast and sharp that he didn’t even feel any pain when he died.

Then, all the lights in the hall suddenly went out!
This hall was used for banquets. There were tall lampposts at all four corners and oil-filled chandeliers hanging on the walls. But in just a moment, all the lights suddenly dimmed, plunging the entire palace into a dangerous darkness. Screams, shattering sounds, and the sound of blades clashing were heard, but no one could see the situation in front of them, and no one knew what was happening around them.

In the chaos, some people fell down, some were still standing, and some were groping around, trying to escape from the dark battlefield. However, soon, a miserable, painful, almost crazy scream rang out.

That was a woman’s voice. Her voice used to be as gentle as the song of an oriole, full of feminine beauty and charm, and just a few words from her could soften your bones; but when she screamed, people could not remember the beauty of this voice in the past.

The person who screamed was Shi Guanyin. When the lights came on again, everyone saw that she covered her face with one hand, and half of her skin was cut off! Yuan Suiyun held a knife in one hand and blocked in front of Yun Chuxiu, and his blue shirt was not even stained with blood. He politely clasped his fists towards Shi Guanyin, with a spring breeze-like smile on the corner of his lips: “Madam, thank you for letting me.”

What happened in the darkness just now? No one knows. But everything seems not so important anymore.

Shi Guanyin’s face was twisted due to the intense pain. Half of her face was as charming as a fairy, while the other half was as broken as a ghost. Her voice was sharp and full of resentment, like a whip wrapped around everyone’s neck: “You…you actually ruined my face!?”

Yuan Suiyun smiled carefreely: “I’m sorry, I didn’t stop my hand for a moment, but it doesn’t matter, when you die, you won’t be sad about it.” Shi Guanyin screamed and rushed over. What she loved most in her life was this extraordinary beautiful face, but now her hands touched only a bloody mess, how could she accept it? At this moment, she had no other thoughts in her heart except the intention to kill. The person in front of her destroyed her face, so she would tear him into pieces!

However, this burning hatred, like a raging fire, quickly consumed her life like a raging fire – when masters fight, victory or defeat is just a matter of a moment, how could he tolerate her being controlled by her emotions?

Yuan Suiyun only used one move. He raised the short knife in his hand horizontally and slashed it lightly. This move seemed to have no fancy moves or skills, but after a flash of the knife, Shi Guanyin’s throat was cut open, and blood flowed out like a waterfall, staining his knife and his hand red.

The stone Guanyin fell down.

After she died, her eyes were still wide open, and her resentful gaze always stayed on Yuan Suiyun. Yuan Suiyun also stared at her, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve, and slowly wiped the blood off his knife.

“I should thank you for capturing so many men but sparing their lives.” He said softly, his words were sincere as if he was facing an elder who had helped him a lot. Those captured by Shi Guanyin were all famous handsome men in the martial arts world, and there were also elite masters from various sects. However, Shi Guanyin captured them just to enjoy their submission and indulgence.

Once these men were seduced by her and got into her bed, she would immediately lose interest in them and transform them into pitiful puppets without self-awareness. Even the once famous leader of Huashan would only be fit to be a skinny servant cleaning the yard for her.

Of course, over the years, there have been men who were not interested in women, were not afraid of power, and always refused to succumb to him. But his end was even more miserable. He lost his past name, identity, and even his past face. This shows how vicious Shi Guanyin is.

The reason why Yuan Suiyun chose to use her to make a name for himself was because he had taken a fancy to these useless men… and the forces behind them. If you owe someone a favor, you must repay it, so he has never been happy to owe others a favor; but when others owe him a favor, it is a very useful business.

What’s more, if he killed such a female devil who roamed the Western Regions and ruled Qiuci, why would he worry about becoming famous?
Of course, the cleaning of the body and the rest of the follow-up did not need to be done by the young master himself. Yuan Suiyun turned around and saw Yun Chuxiu lowering his head, looking at Wuhua’s body on the ground. He walked over and held his hand.

“What are you looking at?”

Yun Chuxiu turned around and glanced at him. When Wuhua took action, the people arranged by Yuan Suiyun knocked down all the lights, shrouding the entire palace in darkness. Yun Chuxiu also took the opportunity to take out a bottle from his clothes and used his internal force to freeze the liquid in it into thin ice.

The sudden darkness slowed Wuhua’s pace for a moment, but he quickly determined his target with the rising cold air and slashed again! The knife light illuminated his eyes and also allowed Yun Chuxiu to see his face. He flicked his finger and the thin ice flew out –

A nine-section whip flew out from the side and entangled Wuhua’s knife, followed closely by a sleeve as light as a cloud. The sleeve went around his throat and lightly hit the thin ice. Wuhua opened his mouth uncontrollably and swallowed the thin ice.

Then, his eyeballs suddenly bulged out, and even through the human skin mask, one could see that his face suddenly turned red as if it was burning, and his hair began to fall out in clumps. He stretched out his hands and grabbed his throat twice, but he couldn’t say a word. When the firelight came back on, his body was lying on the ground.

“The Tianyi Divine Water is indeed worthy of its reputation.” Seeing the miserable state of the corpse on the ground, Yun Chuxiu took out the white jade bottle in his arms and took a look at it, then turned around with Yuan Suiyun – the two white-clothed women from the Divine Water Palace were originally whispering to each other, and when they saw them looking over, they bowed together as a token of gratitude.

They came up on the way to the desert. The beautiful woman in white who wielded the nine-section whip had met both Yuan and Yun once before. She had stood up to protect Jellyfish Yin Ji during the internal turmoil in the Shenshui Palace. The other one looked much younger than her, with a snow-white veil on her face. She was a person that no one had seen before. The beautiful woman in white introduced her as her junior sister, ranking fifth in the sect, so she could be called Fifth Sister.

“Thank you both for your help. Now that we have avenged our great hatred, we can finally go back and report to our master.” The beautiful woman in white said with a smile. The hatred she was talking about was naturally the fact that Situ Jing had committed suicide because of Wuhua. They also accidentally learned that Wuhua was still alive, so they came here in such a hurry.

And now, the dust has finally settled.

“In fact, he should have thought of the Divine Water Palace as early as when I said I recognized him.” Yun Chuxiu shrugged, somewhat undeniably. “Well, this is also a case of every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, since it started with Tianyi Divine Water, it should end with Tianyi Divine Water.”

I wonder if Wuhua had thought that one day he would die from such a poison when he sneaked into the Shenshui Palace and stole the Tianyi Divine Water?

But dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and for the dead, time will stop at this moment forever, but for the living, they must always move forward.
