Chapter 130

Before leaving, he placed a spiritual sense anchor on Lin Chaoying and then used the puppet's "Anchor Teleportation" to swap places.

He sent the puppet toward Jiangling City, intending to first seize the treasure of Emperor Liang of the Southern Liang Dynasty from Tianning Temple.

After arriving in Mount Kunlun, Gu Hanyuan found the Sitting-Forget Peak before long.

Yang Buhui was chatting happily by his side.

Because the puppet had maintained a distance while escorting them, appearing busy with the journey, it had seemed very cold.

Yang Buhui quickly noticed the change in Gu Hanyuan's attitude after he arrived, so she became close to him again.

"Brother Hanyuan, do you think Father will acknowledge me as his daughter?"

Yang Buhui was somewhat worried; after all, she had been raised by Ji Xiaofu her whole life and had no emotional bond with Yang Xiao whatsoever.

"Sister Buhui is so adorable, I believe Left Emissary Yang will surely love you."

Gu Hanyuan was not worried in the slightest.

He suddenly heard movement in the distance and shielded the two of them behind him.

"Sister Buhui, Junior Brother Wuji, be careful. It seems someone is coming."

Before the words had even faded, a black shadow darted out, lunging rapidly toward Yang Buhui.

Gu Hanyuan drew his Hero Sword and slashed at the black shadow.

Unexpectedly, the shadow dodged it at the very last second, remaining completely unscathed.

The newcomer had sunken cheeks and a sharp mouth, with not a drop of blood in his face.

At this moment, he was looking at the sword in Gu Hanyuan's hand with a solemn expression.

"To think it is a divine weapon! Boy, who are you?"

The man was none other than the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, one of the Four Great Guardian Kings of the Ming Sect.

"Are you the Green-Winged Bat King in person? I am Gu Hanyuan of the Wudang Sect."

Wei Yixiao revealed a sinister smile and laughed strangely:

"What is a Wudang Sect member doing running around in Mount Kunlun? Could it be that you are delivering a delicacy to the Old Bat?"

As he spoke, he extended his tongue to lick his lips.

Gu Hanyuan did not beat around the bush and directly told him Yang Buhui's identity.

"If Left Emissary Yang knew that Bat King Wei wanted to drink his daughter's blood, would he break with you?"

Wei Yixiao was stunned.

"Left Emissary Yang's daughter?"

"Exactly. I ask that Bat King Wei take us to see Left Emissary Yang."

Gu Hanyuan cupped his hands toward Wei Yixiao.

"You say she is my daughter? Do you have proof?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from behind the group; they turned to look.

The newcomer was Yang Xiao, who had actually been observing from the shadows for a while.

Of course, Gu Hanyuan had long since noticed, but he had not exposed him.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Yang Xiao's dashing and handsome appearance; it was no wonder he had the capital to make Ji Xiaofu fall in love with him after forcing himself upon her—he truly was an old heartthrob.

It was just a pity he didn't know what expression Yang Xiao would have if he found out Ji Xiaofu had changed her affections.

Gu Hanyuan felt amused inside, but his face remained calm.

"Are you Left Emissary Yang?"

Seeing Yang Xiao nod, he took the Iron Flame Token from his bosom, handed it to Yang Xiao, and then told him the whole story.

"That hateful Abbess Miejue!"

After hearing the story, Yang Xiao was filled with resentment toward Abbess Miejue, though because Ji Xiaofu was not dead, he was not overly devastated.

Next came the touching father-daughter reunion.

Gu Hanyuan did not get involved.

He thought to himself: I'll leave Yang Buhui with you for now; I'll consume her once she's grown.

"Little Brother Gu, thank you for bringing Buhui to find me. I wonder if you have any requests? As long as it is within my power, I can help you."

After Yang Xiao finished reuniting with Yang Buhui, he immediately offered to repay Gu Hanyuan.

After all, owing a favor to the Wudang Sect was quite a troublesome matter for him; it would be best if he could repay it as soon as possible...

Gu Hanyuan thought to himself: My "brother" is not small at all; if you don't believe me, ask Ji Xiaofu.

Of course, no matter how strange Gu Hanyuan's internal thoughts were, his expression management remained excellent.

"I just saw that Bat King Wei's lightness skill is peerless, so I would like to take a look at Bat King Wei's lightness skill manual."

Gu Hanyuan hadn't cared much about Wei Yixiao's lightness skill before, but having seen his speed be ridiculously fast during the earlier skirmish—even with his own multiple top-tier lightness skills, he was still not as fast—he realized that if he hadn't been waiting in ambush, he would have barely managed to stop him.

Wei Yixiao had been quietly watching the drama on the sidelines, never expecting the drama to involve him.

"This..."

Yang Xiao hesitated.

Although he and Wei Yixiao were close friends, this was, after all, to repay a favor for himself.

"Left Emissary Yang, if you agree to one condition, I will let him see the 'Flying Over Grass' manual."

Wei Yixiao didn't care much; while his "Flying Over Grass" was indeed formidable in terms of speed, it relied more on his own innate talent.

"Please speak, Bat King."

"I hope Left Emissary Yang will take the position of Acting Sect Master to lead the currently fractured Ming Sect."

Wei Yixiao had been worried about not having a reason to persuade Yang Xiao, but now that he had a favor to call in, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

Yang Xiao hesitated for a while before agreeing; becoming the Acting Sect Master would also make it more convenient to take revenge on the Emei Sect.

Afterward, Wei Yixiao handed the "Flying Over Grass" manual to Gu Hanyuan for perusal.

Gu Hanyuan learned it after reading it through once; it indeed provided a massive bonus to speed.

Of course, he also surmised that it was Wei Yixiao's innate talent that allowed him to reach a speed that, let alone Grandmasters, even Earth Immortals might not be able to catch.

Satisfied, he returned the "Flying Over Grass" manual and bade farewell to Yang Buhui.

"Brother Hanyuan, you must remember to miss me."

Yang Buhui was extremely reluctant to part; she didn't know how long it would be before they could meet again.

"Sister Buhui, I will come to see you when I have time. Remember to practice your martial arts diligently, you hear?"

On the road to Mount Kunlun, Gu Hanyuan had given Yang Buhui a simplified version of the "Nine Yin Manual"; the Ming Sect was a mixed bag, and not everyone respected Yang Xiao, so she needed some power for self-preservation.

Yang Xiao watched from the side with a look of disgust, his gaze toward Gu Hanyuan becoming increasingly unfriendly.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan did not linger and left with Zhang Wuji.
