Chapter 165 Seeking Death
Sanjue Palace is located in Qianqiu Valley, northwest of Taiyuan.

This is a large canyon that runs across the east and west, serving as the passage from Taiyuan to the northwestern states.

Its eastern entrance is the famous Tianmen Pass. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty once opened up transportation here and built a plank road, so it was named Yangguang Road. The cliffs here are sharp, the valleys are deep, and there is heavy snow in winter. In the past, countless literati and poets have written poems here.

It is the coldest time of the year in the first month of the lunar calendar. Heavy snow is falling, and the sky and the earth are covered in silver.

Amidst this beautiful scenery, a discordant voice was heard.

“Chase!”

Give an order.

Several figures, accompanied by wolfhounds, rushed out of the Sanjue Palace and into the canyon.

The wolfhound ran across the snow at great speed, barking constantly.

People who are good at light work can walk on the snow without leaving any traces within a short distance, but they will still leave a scent. The wolfhounds run in front following the scent, and the disciples of the Three Absolutes Palace follow closely behind like wolves and tigers, everyone has cold eyes and strong murderous intent.

A few miles ahead of them, two seriously injured women were running in the jungle, their blood-stained clothes making them very conspicuous.

“what!”

The woman behind suddenly let out a scream.

With a bang, the animal trap hidden in the snow suddenly popped up, snowflakes flew, and two serrated clamps wedged deeply into her right ankle, piercing into the flesh and bones, and blood spurted out.

The already seriously injured woman stumbled and fell to the ground. She couldn’t help but scream. Cold sweat streamed down her forehead. Her eyes were full of despair. She said weakly, “Senior Sister! Don’t worry about me! Run!”

After saying that, he formed the fingers of his right hand into a sword and was about to stab it into the heart!

“Don’t!”

The woman in front was almost exhausted. She looked back and quickly turned around to stop them: “It’s not that late yet. We are about to leave the valley. I will carry you out!”

She grabbed the woman’s arm, put it on her shoulder, hugged her waist, and was about to perform some Qinggong when she suddenly heard a dog barking behind her.

Both women panicked.

The younger one couldn’t hold back any longer, tears started to flow, and he cursed angrily, “These bastards! I won’t let them go even if I die!”

The older woman’s lips trembled. When she heard the dogs barking, she knew they had discovered her. Since they had discovered her, she was seriously injured and poisoned. She couldn’t run away even if she wanted to. When the time came, she calmed down instead: “A disciple of Baihua Valley would rather die than be humiliated! Junior sister, I will send you off first, and then I will commit suicide! You wait for me on Huangquan Road, Senior Sister will be here soon!”

Junior sister wiped away tears: “Okay!”

The barking of dogs was getting closer and closer, mixed with a shout: “You want to die? It’s not that easy!”

A ghostly figure appeared and kicked the senior sister’s sword away.

His kicks were as swift as the wind and as fast as lightning. He pressed the acupuncture points of the two with his backhand, raised the chin of the senior sister with his hand, and said coldly: “You poisoned my thirteen disciples, and you will pay for it with the rest of your life!”

The man looked to be about thirty years old, with a scar on the right side of his face and a pale complexion, like a wandering ghost.

The eldest disciple of the current head of Sanjue Palace, Huang Zhuoguang.

Behind him, the crowd quickly gathered around. The two fat men in the lead were holding a mastiff, their mouths wide open, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, drooling. One of them said with lingering fear, “Big Brother, be careful. If they get away, things will get out of hand!”

Huang Zhuoguang looked back coldly.

The fat man was startled and immediately lowered his head and kept silent.

Huang Zhuoguang said, “If you two were not blind and had not captured the disciples of Baihua Valley, why would we have ended up like this? You have provoked a powerful enemy for no reason!”

“…”

The fat man had a bitter look on his face. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn’t hold it in any longer and said, “It’s really not our fault! We just don’t have time! The Grand Master wanted her so urgently. She wanted beauty, a virgin, and she also had to have enough cultivation to replenish his yin… There aren’t many people like this in the whole of Taiyuan! And it’s more risky to move people from Taiyuan, so we can only move people from other places. There’s nothing we can do…”

“Shut up!”

Huang Zhuoguang was too lazy to listen to his complaints: “It’s not your turn to distribute the spiritual medicine. I saw you take less medicine at the beginning of the month. Why don’t you just stop wasting time here!”

The disciples looked at each other and could only lower their heads.

Huang Zhuoguang continued, “Since they are not going back, we can only make the best use of them! There is no time to look for them now. The master wants to discourage the newcomers tonight. One is not enough. You should be careful. That old woman is still looking for them!”

“Yes!”

The two fat men responded quickly: “Don’t worry, big brother, we will keep a close watch on him!”

After that, he called to the disciples behind him: “Bring the sack and send it back to the cave!”

“Yes.”

Two disciples took sacks and put them over the heads of the two women. When the sacks fell, the elder sister glanced at the younger sister with her eyes full of guilt. Both of them had been acupunctured and only their eyelids could move. Thinking of what they were about to encounter, the elder sister and the younger sister were terrified. It would have been better for them to die!
The crowd was carrying the sacks and about to leave when suddenly the mastiffs raised their heads, and their animal instincts made them bark wildly at the sky.

Like an enemy!

Huang Zhuoguang sensed something was wrong and looked up suddenly. He saw a huge eagle appear in the sky above his head. A person was vaguely standing on the eagle’s back. He heard a hissing sound, and the sound of the sword was like the cry of a crane, ringing out to the sky!

A sword light descended from the sky and headed straight towards everyone!
“careful!”

Huang Zhuoguang roared and dodged quickly.

The long sword fell to the ground, sword energy overflowed, and the solid sword light was like a sharp blade that pierced through the two disciples carrying sacks. The bloody sword energy burst out, and the two men were torn to death before they could react, and blood and flesh exploded in all directions.

Everyone was horrified, and the two fat men had terrified faces and trembling legs.

Huang Zhuoguang’s face turned even paler. He cheered himself up, clasped his hands together and said, “I am Huang Zhuoguang from Sanjue Palace. Shi Songshou, the ‘Sword of Dragon City’, is my great-grandmaster, and Gong Yangkai, the ‘Iron-armed Dragon King’, is my master… If you have anything to say, please feel free to talk in detail. There is no need to resort to knifes and guns!” He first raised the elders to show his threat, and then lowered his status to emphasize the misunderstanding.

Those two people just died, there was no need to use knives or guns.

That’s the bottom line of flexibility.

The fat man glanced at him. If he remembered correctly, just now, the eldest senior brother had used the name of the murder of his junior brother to let the two women from Baihua Valley stay in the back mountain to die…

The second sword answered him. The long sword stuck in the ground suddenly shook, the sword light rose again, and in a flash, two more heads flew into the sky.

The blood splattered on Huang Zhuoguang’s face, which was warm.

“If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!”

Huang Zhuoguang was shocked and angry. When he looked up, a golden eagle cried in the sky and a figure fell from the sky. He was dressed in black, had a handsome face and was extremely young. He just stood there and the long sword swirled around him like a young swallow flying into the forest. With a flash of sword light, three more heads fell to the ground and the massacre began!
The two people in the sacks sensed the change and used all their strength to hit the acupuncture points, trying to make themselves make a sound.

“Brother, save me——”

Before the fat man could finish his frightened words, the head had already left the body.

The man’s sword-controlling skills were so profound that it was unimaginable! His sword-controlling speed and ruthlessness were unparalleled!

There was only the flash of sword light in the field, and then heads fell to the ground and corpses fell to the ground one after another!

Huang Zhuoguang was becoming more and more horrified. These people had access to the sect’s most obscure secrets, and none of them were soft persimmons. Yet, they were still slaughtered like chopping melons and vegetables. If this continued, they would all die here!
Huang Zhuoguang once again used the “Wind God Kick” and kicked a boulder as big as a millstone with a force as strong as thunder and a kick as fast as the wind. The boulder shot out and hit the long sword. There was a loud bang, and the boulder shattered, slightly blocking the force of the sword. Another fat man under the sword took the opportunity to escape, his face pale and his legs weak.

Huang Zhuoguang shouted, “Go and call the headmaster and the ancestor!”

The fat man came to his senses, turned around and ran away.

Huang Zhuoguang took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. His movements were as fast as a meteor, and he kept kicking out huge rocks and thick trees with bang!

The strange beast he breeds is the “aboriginal” which is also good at walking. The aboriginal has the ability to move in a short distance with short steps, and with the help of body movements and breezes around, countless huge rocks and thick trees have been shooting towards him from all directions!
“I’m a little disappointed.”

The man shook his head slightly. He was of course Zhao Wumian. The protective aura flashed and all the huge rocks and trees within three feet around him exploded. It was as if there was an invisible wall of steel that blocked all attacks. However, he was completely unharmed and spotless within the outer aura.

Huang Zhuoguang was stunned and exclaimed, “Dharma image?!”

Zhao Wumian sighed: “I was still wondering how powerful the ‘God of Wind”s’ Wind God Legs would be. It seems that it has to be used by different people…”

When Huang Zhuo heard him mention the “Wind God Leg”, he thought he was trying to get the sect’s unique skills. Huang Zhuo was also very flexible, so he immediately forced a smile and said, “So it’s for this. I’ll give you the secret manual right away–“

Swish!
The sword flashed, and another head flew into the sky!
When Huang Zhuoguang’s body fell to the ground, the remaining force of the [Shark Tooth Sword] was still there, spanning a hundred feet, and it had already chopped off the head of the fat man who was asking for help. The bloody head rolled to the ground and fell together with the other corpses.

The whole valley suddenly became quiet, with only the howling of the wind and snow.

The long sword was sheathed.

Zhao Wumian pointed two fingers at the sack. The two girls groaned, regained their breath, and hurriedly struggled to climb out of the sack. The senior sister immediately helped the junior sister up and said solemnly to Zhao Wumian: “I am grateful for your kindness! May I ask… what is your name, senior? Rong Ning Xueqing will report it later!”

The man in front of her didn’t look old at all, and Ning Xueqing hesitated before addressing him.

Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes and looked at the internal strength of the two people, and said: “It is indeed the “Xianghuo Sutra” and the “Xianghuo Acupuncture Method”… The genius doctor Zhu Danxi, who is he to you?”

Ning Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief: “Senior, do you know my master?”

“He has treated patients.”

Zhao Wumian originally wanted to ask how Zhang Yan was doing. This girl became Zhu Danxi’s apprentice a few months ago and went to Baihua Valley to learn martial arts. It was said that she made rapid progress and had been in seclusion before the New Year to make a breakthrough. But then he thought about it and was worried that Zhang Yan would think too much if he reported it back to Baihua Valley. He had no way to deal with this stubborn girl, so he decided to give up.

“Nobita.”

Zhao Wumian shouted to the sky: “Send these two girls to Yangqu.”

The golden eagle let out a cry, flew down politely, lowered one of its wings, and let the two women walk onto its back.

Zhao Wumian turned around and continued walking towards the Sanjue Palace.

Ning Xueqing did not move, but knelt down with a plop: “Senior, please save my sister!”

Zhao Wumian said without even turning his head: “It’s just a superficial wound, it’s nothing serious.”

Ning Xueqing hurriedly said, “It’s not Junior Sister Zhou. I can heal her injuries, but there is another Junior Sister who has fallen into the hands of that demon. She and I are not in the same cell. We are anxious to find Uncle Master just to save her! Senior, please lend a hand and save Zhang Yan!”

After saying that, he kowtowed three times.

“You! Say! Who?”

Zhao Wumian stopped and turned around, the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to have solidified into reality.

Ning Xueqing’s face turned pale, and she said quickly: “Her name is Zhang Yan, and she is Master’s new disciple. This time, Master Uncle brought the three of us to Taiyuan to obtain natural treasures, to provide free medical services along the way, and to hone our medical skills. I didn’t expect that in Yangqu County, we were plotted against by those hypocritical beasts in Sanjue Palace… Please, senior, save my sister!!”

After saying this, he kowtowed again.

Zhao Wumian raised his hand, and a soft force supported her.

Zhao Wumian’s face was cold: “Where is she now?”

Ning Xueqing pointed to the Sanjue Palace at the end of the canyon and said through gritted teeth, “It’s in the Wanhui Cave of the Sanjue Palace!”
