The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Within the Lyricism Sect, the person from Eternal Time was meditating to heal his injuries. At that moment, an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone. Duanmu Chong took out a long-lost robe and put it on, casually drawing a sword from one of the disciples present and slicing at his long hair. Everyone was astonished, and Eternal Heng asked, “Duanmu Chong, what do you mean by this?”
Duanmu Chong did not answer but continued to cut his hair with the sword. After several strokes, all of Duanmu Chong's hair was shaved off, and he performed a Buddhist gesture with his left hand. Duanmu Chong said, “Amitabha, in the past, this monk has committed many sins. From today onward, there will be no more Duanmu Chong, only a monk burdened with countless sins.”
Eternal Heng laughed heartily: “Duanmu Chong, are you trying to escape the pursuit of martial artists by pretending to enter the monastic life? You should know that this old trick will not fool the Martial Arts Community. Your hands are stained with the blood of countless people; no matter how you disguise yourself, the Martial Arts Community will not let you off.”
Duanmu Chong replied, “Benefactor, you are mistaken. This monk is not pretending to be a monk; I have truly seen through worldly matters and sincerely converted to Buddhist Sect. Fame and fortune are but fleeting clouds. What did the former Duanmu Chong gain in his relentless pursuit? Only the blood of innocent people and an endless burden of sins. Duanmu Chong is like a rat crossing the street, universally condemned. Now this monk only wishes to do good deeds for the Duanmu Chong who died yesterday and make amends for his past transgressions.”
Eternal Heng said, “What a fine speech! I wonder if your words of repentance will have any effect on the Martial Arts Community. No need for further words; if you think you can escape this calamity, I advise you not to hold any hope. Your enemy Shu Heng would love nothing more than to skin you alive, break your bones, drink your blood, and eat your flesh. You might as well join us in facing this together; that way, there is still a chance for survival.”
Duanmu Chong said, “Amitabha, this monk has never thought about surviving in this world. If someone wants to kill me for revenge, I will gladly accept it. The sins belonging to the mortal world will be borne by me alone. I take my leave now; take care, benefactor!” With that, Duanmu Chong walked out of the Lyricism Sect towards Yun Yin Temple.
Eternal Heng was furious: “What a hypocritical Duanmu Chong! Now that disaster has struck, he still plays such tricks; it is undoubtedly a death wish.”
Crane-Haired Youthful Face also heard what Duanmu Chong had just said: “Lord Heng, I believe that this time Duanmu Chong's retreat into monastic life seems genuine. He appears sincere and is now leaving alone; if he encounters the Martial Arts Community, he stands no chance of survival alone. So perhaps he truly has seen through worldly matters and disregards life and death.”
Eternal Heng pondered for a moment: “You have a point; why would this Duanmu Chong choose to see through worldly matters at such a critical time? It is utterly infuriating!”
Before Eternal Heng could vent his dissatisfaction fully, Gui Gu Zi, the leader of Canglong Cave, had already surrounded the Lyricism Sect. Gui Gu Zi shouted from outside: “People of Eternal Time, listen up! Surrender quickly or face certain death!”
Eternal Earth asked: “Lord Heng, the enemy has already taken action against us; how should we respond?”
Eternal Heng replied: “This time it is not people like Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism coming but rather members of various martial sects; it is quite puzzling. Do they really think this ragtag group can contend with us?”
Crane-Haired Youthful Face: “This may be a scheme by the Martial Arts Community. They know we are severely injured and deliberately sent these people to disturb us; once we are worn out from fighting them, they will strike us down all at once.”
At that moment, Gui Gu Zi had already broken through the main gate and charged in. Seeing this, Eternal Heng exclaimed: “It’s you! The one who fought with Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, an ignorant fool! I shall grant you salvation.” With that, he raised his staff and charged at Gui Gu Zi. The others saw Eternal Heng initiate combat and drew their weapons to confront the disciples of Canglong Cave, marking the beginning of an ambush battle.
Eternal Heng was injured and lacked inner strength; overconfidently unprepared for battle. Within three exchanges, Gui Gu Zi, relying on his profound skills, knocked Eternal Heng down to the ground. At that moment, Eternal Heng realized that those who came were not as mediocre as he had thought but rather extraordinary masters; however, it was too late. Gui Gu Zi, filled with rage and power like thunder shaking heaven and earth, unleashed a tremendous palm strike towards him. With less than forty percent of his inner strength remaining, Eternal Heng struggled to gather energy for a desperate fight. However, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—insignificant and unable to match up against Gui Gu Zi's earth-shattering palm strike. The blow marked an end; Eternal Heng was immediately sent flying dozens of feet away, crashing through even the thick walls of the Lyricism Sect. He fell amidst the ruins of the wall, motionless and continuously spitting blood.
Seeing their leader gravely injured, both Crane-Haired Youthful Face and Eternal Earth shifted their attack targets and charged at Gui Gu Zi. They saw him unleash another powerful technique; two waves of lethal energy surged towards them like monstrous tides. Both attempted to block but were helpless against such a vast difference in strength; two fountains of blood erupted into the air as they fell wounded to the ground without any ability left to fight back. The other members of Eternal Time were also slaughtered by the disciples of Canglong Cave.
Gui Gu Zi ordered, "Bring the three of them to the Wulin Broadcasting Tower. I will personally end their sinful lives in front of the Martial Arts Community." The disciples then took the three individuals, known as Eternal Harmony, and prepared to head to the Broadcast Tower. At that moment, one of the disciples reported to Gui Gu Zi that there was no trace of the notorious Duanmu Chong.
After pondering for a moment, Gui Gu Zi asked Crane-Haired Youthful Face, "Where is the sinner Duanmu Chong?"
Crane-Haired Youthful Face was very dissatisfied with Duanmu Chong's escape and decided that he could not let Duanmu Chong roam free now that he had been captured by enemies. He said, "Duanmu Chong has used the same trick again; he has donned a monk's robe and shaved his head to disguise himself as a monk. I believe he must be heading to Yun Yin Temple."
Gui Gu Zi replied, "Very well. You take these three to the Broadcast Tower while I go to Yun Yin Temple to capture the sinner Duanmu Chong."
The disciples responded, "Understood." Thus, both parties set off.
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism arrived at the old site of Poetry Sect, which was in ruins and looked like a dead land. He threw the Seven-Colored Nurturing Stone into the air and infused it with energy. The Seven-Colored Nurturing Stone followed the steps of sensing, guiding, and saturating the earth's energy in Martial Bamboo Divine Domain to restore Poetry Sect's earth energy. The once barren land regained vitality. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism felt a certain relief but also a hint of concern. He said, "This time, in order to restore the earth energy across various places, I agreed to let Gui Gu Zi become Martial Arts Supreme. I fear that in the future, the martial world will be filled with strife again. Now that things have developed this way, we can only take it one step at a time. Next, I will go to Famous Sword Society and Liu Ling Tavern to restore their earth energy." With that, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism left Poetry Sect for Famous Sword Society.
Outside Yun Yin Temple, Duanmu Chong arrived. Celibacy Master saw Duanmu Chong dressed as a monk but did not believe that he genuinely sought refuge in Buddhism. The lessons from past experiences were vivid; he could not let history repeat itself and allow innocent lives to perish at his hands again. Abstaining from Desire launched an attack immediately; using the Buddhist Sect technique Swastika Seal, he aimed directly at Duanmu Chong. Facing this overwhelming force, Duanmu Chong did not retaliate but instead allowed Qigong to hit him directly, instantly spitting blood and suffering severe internal injuries. Seeing this, Abstaining from Desire was shocked and asked, "Sinner Duanmu Chong, why do you not fight back?"
Duanmu Chong replied, "I should bear the punishment for my sins; please continue attacking me until I die. This way, my sins can dissipate into the earth."
At this moment, Dharma Master stepped forward and brought Duanmu Chong into the inner courtyard. Celibacy Master was puzzled and said, "Master, do not trust this man's sweet words; he came here to escape his enemies." However, Dharma Master ignored Abstaining from Desire's words. After Dharma Master took Duanmu Chong inside, Gui Gu Zi suddenly appeared on the scene and said, "Hand over sinner Duanmu Chong."
Although Celibacy Master did not understand Dharma Master's intentions, he respected his decision and said, "Duanmu Chong is not here; please search elsewhere."
Gui Gu Zi replied, "Master, by shielding a sinner are you being true to Buddha? Since you refuse to hand him over, I will have no choice but to take you along for an explanation in the martial world." With that said, he struck a powerful palm towards Abstaining from Desire. Facing this lethal force, Abstaining from Desire tried to resist but was ultimately overpowered and captured by Gui Gu Zi.
After Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism restored the earth energy at Famous Sword Society and Liu Ling Tavern, he headed towards Broadcast Tower to recommend Gui Gu Zi to everyone. Moments later, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism arrived at Broadcast Tower where a large crowd had gathered around Eternal Harmony and others. Just then, Gui Gu Zi arrived with Abstaining from Desire at Broadcast Tower. Upon seeing this scene, people began to murmur in confusion. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism asked, "Gui Gu Zhangmen, why have you brought Celibacy Master here?"
Gui Gu Zi replied, "This person sheltered sinner Duanmu Chong; I have brought him here so everyone can deal with him."
Injured Yi Junsheng and others were also present at the scene. Yi Junsheng asked, "As far as I know, this old thief Duanmu once became a monk to escape pursuit; now you Abstaining from Desire protect him—do you really think you can distinguish his tricks? Are you just randomly capturing someone because you couldn't find him as an excuse for your failure?"
Gui Gu Zi felt furious upon hearing this but did not show it on his face: "Yi Junsheng, you are correct; we will deal with Abstaining from Desire later. Right now we need to handle the leader of Eternal Harmony."
Reverse Head asked, "What should we do with him?"
Gui Gu Zi replied, "Kill him. If we don't kill him, it will be difficult to quell the public anger. If we don't kill him, it will be hard to comfort the souls of the many who died at the hands of the Eternal Years."
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their support. Gui Gu Zi personally wielded the knife and severed the head of Eternal Years, blood gushing three feet high. The crowd applauded in satisfaction. Yi Junsheng remarked, "Oh, this burly Gui Gu Zhangmen truly acts on his words." Before Yi Junsheng could finish his praise, two screams were heard as Gui Gu Zi struck down with one blow, instantly separating the heads and bodies of Crane-Haired Youthful Face and Eternal Earth, leading to their demise.
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, Gui Gu Zhangmen has made significant contributions by eliminating the evil organizations from other realms: Eternal Years and Lingxie Demon Domain. I hereby recommend Gui Gu Zhangmen for the position of Martial Arts Supreme. What do you all think?"
The crowd agreed with Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, stating that if it weren't for Gui Gu Zhangmen exterminating these evil individuals, countless innocent lives would have been lost at their hands. With his exceptional martial arts skills and wisdom, Gui Gu Zhangmen was undoubtedly the best candidate to maintain Martial Arts Peace. Everyone supported Gui Gu Zhangmen becoming the new leader of the martial world.
Though reluctant, Yi Junsheng could not find a reason to oppose Gui Gu Zi becoming Martial Arts Supreme, so he had to accept this outcome. Yi Junsheng asked, "What will you do with this monk, new Martial Arts Supreme Gui Gu Zhangmen?"
After pondering for a moment, Gui Gu Zi replied, "Kill!"
In the dense forest behind the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, there was a grave and a person standing before it. In the tranquil woods, only a faint breath could be heard from this individual. The person stood silently before the grave, gazing at the mound. Suddenly, a gentle breeze lifted their skirt, which became stained with tears. As they pressed down on their skirt with their hand, a beautiful face emerged; it was none other than Zhu Yingtai.
Tension filled the air at the Broadcast Tower. The newly appointed Wulin Supreme Gui Gu Zi intended to kill the Celibacy Master, who sheltered criminals. What actions would Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism and others take? With Liang Shanbo deceased, how would Zhu Yingtai change?
