Chapter 49

So, seeing Zhang Zhang Wuji, she wanted to force him to reveal Brother Xie Xun's whereabouts.

"Golden Flower Granny, please give the Wu Dangpai some face and release my Junior Brother Zhang Wuji."

It was none other than Gu Gu Hanyuan and Ji Ji Xiaofu, who had come upon hearing the noise.

"Even if Zhang Zhang Sanfeng himself came, I wouldn't need to give him any face."

Of course, she was just bragging; if she really ran into Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, she wouldn't even have time to run.

She just saw that Gu Gu Hanyuan was young and didn't take him seriously.

"Since that is the case, I will have to learn from your high-level techniques, Senior."

Gu Gu Hanyuan couldn't easily use his magic sword given his identity, so he spent 6000 villain points to exchange for the Hero Sword.

The Hero Sword didn't really match Gu Gu Hanyuan, and its grade wasn't very high, but it carried an inherent upright aura, making it the most suitable sword for his identity.

The original Hero Sword came with the Sword Sect Grandmaster's Mysterious Sword Art, from which Wuming had once gained insights into the Mysterious Sword Technique.

The Hero Sword exchanged with villain points naturally didn't have the Mysterious Sword Art, but it was still a sword in its prime, like the rising sun, with its heroic spirit restrained, not like an ordinary item.

Thus, he drew the Hero Sword from its scabbard and thrust it toward the Golden Flower Granny.

This strike was fast and fierce, exactly the "Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate."

The Golden Flower Granny was already amazed by the extraordinary nature of the Hero Sword, and she didn't expect Gu Gu Hanyuan to be so fierce the moment he struck, nearly being hit in the Divine Gate acupoint.

Fortunately, she was a master-level expert after all, reacting in time to block the Hero Sword Gu Gu Hanyuan thrust with the coral staff in her hand.

However, she didn't expect that at the moment the sword tip and the coral staff were about to collide, Gu Gu Hanyuan would use his internal energy to bend the Hero Sword, using the "Soft Finger Sword."

The softened sword traced a strange arc, nearly piercing the Golden Flower Granny's face.

The Golden Flower Granny retreated several steps, asking solemnly:

"Who exactly are you? And what kind of sword is this? I've never seen it before. Since when did the Wu Dangpai produce such a powerful disciple?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan, who had already pulled Zhang Zhang Wuji back, said leisurely:

"I am Gu Gu Hanyuan. The sword in my hand is called the Hero Sword, obtained by chance."

Holding the Hero Sword, Gu Gu Hanyuan appeared upright and heroic, extraordinary.

"So you are that Gu Gu Hanyuan from Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's birthday celebration. What a Hero Sword, truly a hero among youths."

The Golden Flower Granny finally had some reservations; after all, the news from Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's birthday celebration had spread throughout the Song Guo, and Gu Gu Hanyuan had become famous because of it.

Whether it was debating Kong Wen or injuring Kong Zhi, plus being a Xiantian expert at such a young age, all indicated that a new star was rising.

And although there was no hard collision during the moment they exchanged blows, the two rounds of fighting had already made the Golden Flower Granny believe that Gu Gu Hanyuan had likely had another breakthrough and was definitely not just at the early Xiantian realm.

Since learning the "Holy Spirit Sword Technique," Gu Gu Hanyuan had been able to draw inferences and had mastered several of the Wu Dangpai's sword techniques to a proficient level; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to change his moves on the fly.

"Senior, you flatter me. I just have a small reputation. But I ask that you let Junior Brother Zhang Wuji go."

Gu Gu Hanyuan was not in a hurry at all and could chat slowly with the Golden Flower Granny.

The Golden Flower Granny was clearly unwilling to give up on Zhang Zhang Wuji just like that, hesitating for a moment before preparing to strike at Gu Gu Hanyuan again.

At this moment, several figures burst in.

Leading them was Abbess Miejue, followed by Emei disciples like Ding Ding Minjun and Bei Bei Jinyi.

"Ji Xiaofu, I didn't expect you to be alive. Since you are alive, why haven't you returned to Emei for over ten years?"

Abbess Miejue also didn't expect to see Ji Ji Xiaofu here, and she demanded sternly.

Ji Ji Xiaofu also didn't expect to encounter Abbess Miejue; she was already panicked and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Wu Dang disciple Gu Gu Hanyuan greets Abbess Miejue. It has been over a month, and you are as elegant as ever. I wonder how Sister Zhou Zhiruo is doing at Emei?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan stood directly in front of Ji Ji Xiaofu, facing Abbess Miejue.

Ji Ji Xiaofu looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan's broad back, seeing him come out to protect her once again, and her heart was even more moved, filled with a sense of security.

The annoyance left over from the detoxification yesterday was completely replaced by shyness.

She only felt that it was fortunate that the person who saw her was him.

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan come forward to protect Ji Ji Xiaofu, Abbess Miejue's eyes narrowed.

Although she was a bit confused, she had been a personal witness at Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's birthday celebration and knew that although the Gu Gu Hanyuan before her was young, he was not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, he had brought up Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, a disciple who satisfied her greatly, to play the emotional card.

Since becoming her disciple, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo had often mentioned Gu Gu Hanyuan, which had inexplicably made Gu Gu Hanyuan's reputation grow at Emei.

Emei had always been on good terms with Wu Dang, and back then, Abbess Miejue had even arranged for her beloved disciple Ji Ji Xiaofu to be engaged to the Sixth Knight of the Wu Dang Seven Knights, Yin Yin Liting.

Although the engagement was broken later because Ji Ji Xiaofu was abducted by Yang Xiao and went missing, the relationship between the two sects had been maintained very well.

Otherwise, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't have chosen to send Zhou Zhou Zhiruo to Emei.

And looking at Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's attitude when mentioning Gu Gu Hanyuan, it was clearly a case of first love.

If she could marry into the rising Wu Dangpai's Gu Gu Hanyuan in the future, it would also be beneficial for the Emei sect.

Therefore, Abbess Miejue was relatively supportive of the two.

If possible, she didn't want to have a conflict with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan, who looked even more handsome and spirited after changing out of his Wu Dang disciple robes, Ding Ding Minjun's favor for him increased greatly.

However, she didn't expect him to be protecting Ji Ji Xiaofu, the person she had been most jealous of back then, and she felt indignant, looking at Ji Ji Xiaofu with increasingly unkind eyes.

Bei Bei Jinyi didn't have so many thoughts; her relationship with Ji Ji Xiaofu had always been good.

Because she had often taken care of Zhou Zhou Zhiruo recently, she had heard many good things about Gu Gu Hanyuan and already had a favorable impression of him.

At this moment, she was worried about him coming into conflict with her master, Abbess Miejue.

After a stalemate on the field for a while, it was Abbess Miejue who broke the awkward atmosphere, shifting her target to attack the Golden Flower Granny:

"Golden Flower Granny, you enjoy your life on Spirit Snake Island, yet you come to the Central Plains to cause trouble and even impersonate my Emei sect's secret mark. Shouldn't we settle this account?"

When the Golden Flower Granny was the Purple-Robed Dragon King, she was almost worshipped by everyone in the Ming Cult, and even the top position of the Four Great Dharma Kings was yielded to her by the other three, making her very arrogant.

Seeing Abbess Miejue's unkind words, she began to argue with her.

The two disagreed and started fighting.

As one of the few divine weapons in the Wu Lin, the Heaven-Reliant Sword's greatest feature, besides its sharpness, was that it carried its own sword qi.

This time was not like the hasty response when facing Brother Wutian at Wu Dang; the Heaven-Reliant Sword's sword qi shot out, leaving the surroundings in a mess.

Yin Li was about the same age as Yang Buhei, both twelve or thirteen-year-old girls.

Because she trusted the Golden Flower Granny, she didn't hide too far away to watch the battle.

If Yin Li had been holding Zhang Zhang Wuji, Abbess Miejue would have had reservations, but now, because of Gu Gu Hanyuan, Zhang Zhang Wuji hadn't been captured, so Abbess Miejue naturally wouldn't care about Yin Li, and the sword qi didn't deliberately avoid her.

Soon, a bolt of sword qi, after being dodged by the Golden Flower Granny, shot toward Yin Li.

Seeing the sword qi shooting toward her, and knowing her own Wu Gong wasn't high, just as she was in despair, she found herself being picked up by someone, dodging the sword qi.

It was Gu Gu Hanyuan who, seeing Yin Li about to be hit by the sword qi, held her and moved away.

As the saying goes, a girl's favor should be cultivated from a young age, and such a good opportunity naturally couldn't be missed.

Although Yin Li had a dark, swollen, and bumpy poison scar on her cheek due to practicing the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, which was very ugly.

Of course, with Gu Gu Hanyuan's keen eyes, he could naturally filter out the influence of the poison scar, and indeed, she was another little beauty in the making.

When she grew up, she would be a 90-point beauty.

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at her with a gentle expression and said:

"Little girl, are you okay?"

Yin Li looked up from Gu Gu Hanyuan's arms, staring blankly at this handsome older brother who had attracted much of her attention from the beginning.
