The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
At the Broadcast Tower, Gui Gu Zi wanted to kill Abstaining from Desire. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism immediately spoke up, "Wait, Gui Gu Zhangmen, you currently have no evidence to prove that Celibacy Master is harboring the criminal Duanmu Chong. Killing Celibacy Master now would be hard to justify."
Yi Junsheng seized the opportunity and said, "Gui Gu Zi, do you have some undisclosed secret that Celibacy Master has grasped? Are you trying to kill him to silence him?"
Hearing Yi Junsheng's words, Gui Gu Zi became furious and said, "White Face, what do you know? I have no secrets. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for turning against you and having you captured. Since there is currently no direct evidence proving that Abstaining from Desire is harboring a criminal, let's take him to Canglong Cave first. Once we find evidence, we will deal with it then."
The members of the Martial Arts Community believed Gui Gu Zi's words made sense and expressed their support. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism wanted to argue based on reason, but Gui Gu Zi was already unwilling to listen. Gui Gu Zi ordered everyone to follow him back to Canglong Cave for further planning. Thus, the disciples of Canglong Cave escorted Celibacy Master to Canglong Cave.
Yi Junsheng said, "Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, I see that this Gui Gu Zi is not a good person. Why do you want to support him for the position of Martial Arts Supreme?"
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism replied, "Because Gui Gu Zi has indeed made significant contributions to the martial world; everyone sees it. Even if I do not recommend him, he would still obtain the title of Martial Arts Supreme. As for whether he is a good person or not, that is debatable. He simply desires power but may not necessarily harm his fellow martial artists. Let's maintain a wait-and-see attitude for now."
Yi Junsheng asked, "What about Celibacy Master? Should we rescue him?"
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism said, "I will first go to Yun Yin Temple to see if Duanmu Chong is there."
At this moment, a scream was heard on site, and everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound. They saw Future Police's body gradually becoming invisible, and the pain caused him to cry out. Yi Junsheng asked, "What is happening?"
The room replied, "Evil Cycle of Death; the eternal demise has altered the history of the future world, and my mission is complete. Once history changes, I will disappear from this world. Now I am about to vanish; I feel unburdened and can leave this world with a smile." After finishing his words, Future Police turned to ashes before everyone's eyes; even his Electric Baton and flying device disappeared from the scene.
Yi Junsheng was moved to tears and said, "Although this Future Police once tried to kill me, based on his purpose, I have decided to forgive him."
After Future Police vanished, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism headed towards Yun Yin Temple while Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head went towards Drunken Red Mansion.
In the dense forest behind Dreaming Medical Pavilion, Zhu Yingtai shed tears over her ex-husband Liang Shanbo's grave. Despite Liang Shanbo's infidelity towards her, they were once married and both were proud disciples of Mengzi; this bond still existed. Zhu Yingtai spoke at the tombstone: "You were once spirited and charming but only sought superficial understanding of the martial arts taught by Confucian Academy; later you pursued me diligently. The memories of our love are still vivid in my mind today as we are separated by life and death. Perhaps this is heaven's punishment for your inconsistency. Today we shall put an end to this; after one cup of wine, I will completely forget you, Liang Shanbo. I want to be a true Zhu Yingtai." With that said, she poured a cup of wine at Liang Shanbo's grave and drank another herself.
Zhu Yingtai smashed her wine cup with both hands, wiped her tears from her face, waved her skirt, and left resolutely. A gentle breeze swept over the grave site; it was desolate and lonely—a scene of sorrow where love left no hatred behind.
As Zhu Yingtai descended the mountain, she thought: I want to be a chivalrous woman who upholds justice and eliminate the bad elements in the martial world while dealing with heartless men. I will restore peace in the martial world and bring justice for many virtuous women. Now I should head towards Drunken Red Mansion to deal with a group of married men.
Inside Canglong Cave, Gui Gu Zi questioned Abstaining from Desire again; however, Abstaining from Desire remained silent. At this moment, Huang Li from Canglong Cave said to Gui Gu Zi: "Zhangmen, it seems that without torturing this foul monk he won't speak the truth."
Gui Gu Zi pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, you can handle this person, but you must not kill him; otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the Martial Arts Community."
Huang Li: "I will definitely learn the whereabouts of Duanmu Chong from him."
Another disciple, Lin Bao, said, "Master, why don't we conduct a thorough search of the Yun Yin Temple? We will surely be able to capture the criminal Duanmu Chong."
Gui Gu Zi shouted loudly, "Are you foolish? We have no evidence; on what basis do we search the Yun Yin Temple? If we force our way in and fail to find Duanmu Chong, won't we lose face in front of the Martial Arts Community? How will we stand in the martial world then?"
Lin Bao bowed respectfully and said, "Master is right; I did not consider this thoroughly. How about I go to the Martial Arts Alliance to gather some information?"
Gui Gu Zi: "Go ahead, but do not act recklessly."
Lin Bao: "I take my leave."
Huang Li brought Abstaining from Desire to a secret chamber. Inside the chamber were various torture devices. Huang Li: "Abstaining from Desire, I will ask you once more, where is Duanmu Chong? If you reveal his whereabouts, these instruments will not be used on you."
Abstaining from Desire: "Amitabha, I have nothing to say."
Huang Li: "Since you refuse my kindness, I will grant your wish." With that, he clamped a device onto all ten fingers of Abstaining from Desire, pulling tightly on the ropes. A wave of excruciating pain surged through Celibacy Master, and as they say, 'the fingers are connected to the heart,' a look of intense agony appeared on his face. Huang Li continued to apply pressure; blood began to ooze from Abstaining from Desire's fingers, and a heart-wrenching scream escaped his lips. Tears streamed down Abstaining from Desire's face as he suffered. Huang Li: "Bald donkey, reveal the whereabouts of Duanmu Chong, and you can avoid this pain."
Abstaining from Desire remained silent. Huang Li, left with no choice, removed the clamps and tied Abstaining from Desire to a bench. He placed bricks under his heels, raising them higher and higher, causing increasing agony for Abstaining from Desire. At that moment, Huang Li laid a piece of paper over Abstaining from Desire's face and poured a spoonful of water directly onto it. Abstaining from Desire struggled desperately but to no avail; breathing became increasingly difficult. No matter how severe the torture was, Abstaining from Desire refused to utter a word. Eventually, Huang Li, at a loss for what to do, had to temporarily cease his torture.
Huang Li: "Bald donkey, you are truly resilient. We will continue tomorrow!" With that, he left the secret chamber.
Inside the Yun Yin Temple, Duanmu Chong was repenting before the giant statue of the Buddha. To demonstrate his sincere conversion to the Buddhist Sect, Duanmu Chong reversed his true energy and disrupted his inner strength. Then he struck his own acupoints with one palm, rendering himself incapable of using any martial arts he had learned throughout his life. White smoke billowed up behind him as he collapsed to the ground and coughed up blood. The Dharma Master immediately helped him up and asked, "Why do this?"
Duanmu Chong: "This is a harmful thing; by abolishing it, I sever any possibility of continuing my wrongdoing. Master, if any enemies of mine come looking for me, feel free to disclose my whereabouts; I will not evade my responsibilities."
At that moment, a disciple reported that the Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism had come outside seeking an audience with the Dharma Master. Duanmu Chong: "This person has come for me; let me go out and meet him."
Dharma Master: "Amitabha, now that you are already part of the Buddhist Sect, and being within the confines of the Yun Yin Temple, this matter falls under my jurisdiction. Let me handle the visitor from the Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism. You should wait here." With that, the Dharma Master left the main hall.
Dharma Master arrived at the inner courtyard of Yun Yin Temple and said, "May I ask what brings you here, Benefactor?"
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism got straight to the point and asked, "May I inquire if Duanmu Chong is within the temple?"
Dharma Master performed a Buddhist greeting and replied, "Amitabha, Duanmu Chong has already renounced the world. Just a moment ago, he even self-destructed his martial arts as penance. I believe he is sincerely seeking refuge in Buddha. I hope you will not make things difficult for him."
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism responded, "Even so, this does not erase the various crimes he has committed. The entire Martial Arts Community will not let him off easily. Celibacy Master has also been captured by Gui Gu Zi because of this matter, and we still do not know his current situation. I suggest handing over the criminal Duanmu Chong in exchange for Celibacy Master's freedom."
Dharma Master said, "Everyone makes mistakes. Even Buddha offers them a chance for redemption. Now that Duanmu Chong sincerely regrets his actions, you want to kill him? Wouldn't that deprive him of the opportunity to change? As for Abstaining from Desire, I believe Gui Gu Zi cannot do anything without evidence."
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism replied, "Since you insist so firmly, I shall not press further. I will find a way regarding Celibacy Master. I take my leave now." With that, he departed from Yun Yin Temple.
Inside the secret chamber of Canglong Cave, Huang Li arrived once again, this time bringing with him giant iron chains. He struck Abstaining from Desire, sending him into the air, then swung the massive chains to pierce through both shoulders of Abstaining from Desire. The pain was unbearable; he let out a long howl filled with despair that evoked sympathy from those who heard it. Huang Li pulled on the chains and flung Abstaining from Desire to a corner of the chamber, saying, "If you do not reveal the whereabouts of the criminal Duanmu Chong, your suffering will only increase."
At that moment, Abstaining from Desire remained stubbornly defiant despite being covered in blood; he did not yield. Huang Li continued to torture him with silver needles, first stabbing several into the soles of Abstaining from Desire's feet. The pain was excruciating, causing him to scream and cry tears of agony. Then Huang Li targeted his vital points with more needles; this pain surpassed even that of childbirth, yet Abstaining from Desire still kept silent. Finally, Huang Li aimed a needle at his heart; it caused his heart to stop momentarily, entering a state of apparent death. When Huang Li withdrew the needle from his heart area, Abstaining from Desire regained consciousness but began to bleed profusely from his heart area, a truly horrifying sight.
Seeing how strong-willed Abstaining from Desire was, Huang Li could only temporarily abandon his torture methods and think of another way to extract information from him.
