The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances said, "No need to be polite. I have long found this lion displeasing, and now it has come to me on its own. I can only teach it a lesson." Before Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances could finish speaking, Hate Blade Swordsman charged out with his sword, launching a fierce attack on Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances drew his sword to respond, and the sound of their first clash echoed throughout the medical hall. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances asked, "Is this your way of repaying kindness?"
Hate Blade Swordsman replied, "Between us, there is only hatred, not kindness. Prepare to receive my strike." He then thrust his sword powerfully at Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. At that moment, Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing stepped in to intervene, saying, "Do you know that your life was saved by Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances? If you kill him now, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity? The martial world will laugh at you. If you have a grudge against him, why not wait until you have repaid your debt before settling it?"
After pondering for a moment, Hate Blade Swordsman found Zhang Chongqing's words quite reasonable and ceased his attack, saying, "Fine, after I repay my debt of gratitude, we will settle our hatred."
On top of Northern Martial Arts Insect Peak, Half Butterfly Person brought Ouyang Xiu, Leader of the Poetry and Rhyme Sect back captive. Half Locust Man ordered someone to treat Ouyang Xiu and take good care of him. Confused, Half Butterfly Person asked, "May I ask why you value this captive so highly?"
Half Locust Man replied, "You don't understand. This person is the leader of a sect and has considerable prestige in the Martial Arts Alliance. If we heal him, we will catch more fish; just wait and see." At that moment, news came that the Half-Beast Army had encountered a counterattack from the Central Plains Martial Arts Community, suffering a great defeat. Upon hearing this news, Half Locust Man contemplated for a moment and ordered the withdrawal of the Half-Insect Army from the Lyricism Sect, lest they become the next target of the Central Plains Martial Arts Community.
At the Lyricism Sect, when the command for retreat reached Half-Fly Man, he immediately ordered many Half-Insect Men to evacuate. Due to their wings, all the Half-Insect Men flew away from the Lyricism Sect in an instant. Just after their departure, Mengzi, leading many rested disciples from the Confucius Academy along with numerous members of the Martial Arts Community, arrived outside the Lyricism Sect. Dreamy Beauty also arrived at the scene and said, "Let Dreamy Consort lead the charge." Thus, Dreamy Beauty pushed open the gates of the Lyricism Sect, only to find that not a single Half-Insect Man remained inside; only numerous corpses of slain disciples lay within.
Mengzi ordered all students to search thoroughly inside and outside the Lyricism Sect for any traces of the Half-Insect Men. However, as expected, aside from corpses, there was no one else present. Dreamy Beauty remarked, "It seems that the Half-Insect Men had already received news and retreated ahead of time." Consequently, Mengzi ordered that all bodies of the disciples from the Lyricism Sect be buried.
Liang Shanbo and others immediately began digging a pit not far from the gate in preparation for burying those killed by the Half-Insect Men. After a while, a large pit was ready. Mengzi said, "Let us begin the burial." The sight of cold corpses stirred deep sorrow within Mengzi, while each thud as bodies were tossed into the pit ignited anger among members of the Martial Arts Community, including Zhuge Kongming. The handfuls of earth covering the bodies touched something profound in Dreamy Beauty, prompting reflections on life.
Once all bodies were buried, Mengzi personally erected a monument for those who sacrificed their lives. To show respect, he gathered his inner energy and inscribed characters on the monument with his bare hands; each stroke resonated like a mournful song for life and a lament for death. As he completed his final stroke, eight blood-red characters appeared on the monument: "Tomb of the Heroes of the Ci Fu Sect." Leading everyone in bowing in tribute to those who sacrificed themselves, he vowed, "I will surely avenge you all to bring peace to your spirits."
Liang Shanbo reported, "To inform you all at the Confucian Academy, we have not found Master Ouyang Xiu's body at the scene; he must have been captured by the Half-Insect Men. Should we go rescue Master Ouyang now?"
Covering her mouth in surprise, Dreamy Beauty replied, "We do not even know where their base is located; how can we rescue him? In my opinion, it would be best to wait for news. The capture of Ouyang Xiu by the Half-Insect Men must have some purpose; we are just waiting for them to present their conditions."
Mengzi agreed: "What you say makes sense; let everyone return to the Confucius Academy and await further news." Thus, members of the Confucius Academy, along with many from the martial arts community, turned back toward their academy.
Inside the prison of the Martial Arts Tribunal, Bao Qing questioned Sword Demon Tiedan, saying: "Sword Demon Tiedan, quickly confess how you used your plan with Li Dai Tao Jiang to escape from prison."
Sword Demon Tiedan said, "Now that my martial arts are completely wasted, I am like a useless person. What is the meaning of explaining all this? Can it restore my abilities? I, Sword Demon Tiedan, have roamed the martial world for decades, yet I have fallen into your hands, Bao Qing, and have been questioned by you like this. I have no face to live in this world anymore; all I seek now is death. In this way, eighteen years later, I will be a good man again. In this life, I only regret being born at the wrong time. Since I am Sword Demon Tiedan, why was I born as Murong Mulong?"
Bao Qing replied, "No matter how you lament, it cannot compensate for the crimes you have committed. Now you have the opportunity to atone for your sins. I hope you seize it well and tell me how you escaped from prison and reveal the traitor within the Judicial Court. This could reduce your sins."
Sword Demon Tiedan laughed heartily: "Am I, Sword Demon Tiedan, someone who betrays friends? Even if I know, I won't utter a single word. You might as well give up."
After dismissing all the guards present, Bao Qing said, "Sword Demon Tiedan, I am now making a deal with you. As long as you tell me who the traitor in the Judicial Court is, I will let you go."
Having failed at the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, the Half Lion Man could only come to Sun Simiao's cottage to prepare for the task entrusted by the Half-Dragon. The Half Lion Man peeked through the door crack and saw Sun Simiao hanging up Yamada Koji and applying a copper-colored liquid on him. The painted Yamada Koji glowed with a golden light, resembling a bronze statue. At that moment, the Half Lion Man broke through the door and said, "Sun Simiao, today I come to invite you to join the Half-Orc tribe and serve us."
Sun Simiao made a disdainful expression: "Monster, I want you to enter but not leave."
On top of Northern Martial Arts Insect Peak, the atmosphere was unusually tense today. Suddenly, the Half-Dragon Leader of the Half-Beasts arrived with great authority. The leader of the Half-Insect Man, Half Locust Man, flew out swiftly, gathering his inner strength to clash with the Half-Dragon. Their palms met with tremendous force, shaking the entire Insect Peak. Both were shocked by each other's cultivation level. The Half-Dragon broke the silence first: "Half Locust Man, I am here today for cooperation between our two sides."
Tension filled the air. Inside the prison of the Martial Arts Tribunal, can Bao Qing successfully lure out the traitor from the Judicial Court? Will the Half Lion Man be able to complete his mission with Sun Simiao? Above Insect Peak, it is the first meeting between leaders of two major tribes in Northern Martial Arts. What results will this meeting yield?
