Million? Taels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t the Flower Moon Palace just collapse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the Flower Moon Palace paying—it was Gu Qing who found a man named Li Laoshi and took the treasure from him; reportedly, this was a hidden hoard of the Ten Evils. After this treasure reached the Murong family, although Lady Lianxing repeatedly insisted that Murong Jiumei was going as a concubine, the Murong family still gladly agreed to the marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I’d want to marry if I were them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the Ten Evils?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ten Evils turned on each other. Li Dazui, who doesn’t eat human heads, allied with the Flower Moon Palace and the Three Xiang Alliance, and killed Jiao Jiao, Ha Ha’er, Du Sha, Bai Kaixin, Yin Jiuyou, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Three Xiang Alliance leader cooperate with Li Dazui? Didn’t Li Dazui eat Tie Wushuang’s daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Tie Wushuang stepped down as leader of the Three Xiang Alliance, and Li Dazui vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the Ten Evils, only Iron Lion Tie Zhan, the seductive Xiao Mimi, and Xuan Yuan Sanguang remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Lion Tie Zhan has disappeared; Xiao Mimi is probably building another harem somewhere; as for Xuan Yuan Sanguang, he seems to have turned over a new leaf—he still gambles wildly every day, but when he wins, he just makes the loser bow and leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Twelve Star Phases and the Ten Evils gone, the Jianghu is much better off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that on a nameless island overseas live renowned figures from the Jianghu; once anyone enters that island, they forget fame and fortune, and even their own reputations—hence the name Nameless Island. Those who enter and undergo training there become peerless masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it really that powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend says so, but not long ago, Gu Qing of the Flower Moon Palace took Murong Jiumei to sea and drove everyone on the Nameless Island back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost Child, Xiao Nüshi, Ni Shiba, Yu Ziyang, Nan Guo Sheng… and Iron Lion Tie Zhan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Gu Qing strike?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought so too, but Tie Zhan, drunk at the wedding of Tie Xinlan and Xiao Yuer, let slip that it was Murong Jiumei who fought that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murong Jiumei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fossil Divine Skill! Invincible against ten thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, where is my daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Hero Yan, calm down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I be calm? Tell me—what did you do to Zhang Jing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Hero Yan, rest assured—I’ve remained pure with Little Fairy all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Suzhou was called Pingjiang Prefecture, a splendid city of brocade and blossoms, with waterways linking southwest to Bianliang and southeast to Lin’an; though the saying “Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou” had not yet spread in the Northern Song, Suzhou’s garden beauty and cultural splendor were enough to earn endless praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Pingjiang Prefecture stood a vast tavern called Songhe Pavilion; its signboard, long darkened by kitchen smoke, echoed with the shouts of waiters, the clatter of chefs’ knives and ladles, and the noisy drinking games of patrons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid this bustle, two martial artists at a table began to quarrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In today’s Jianghu, there’s a saying: ‘Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong.’ Northern Qiao Feng refers to Qiao Feng, leader of the Beggar Sect—a hero of great valor, with unmatched drinking prowess, admired by all who know him; Southern Murong is Murong Young Master of the Murong family, who lives just outside Gusu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with a clear Central Plains accent said: “These two never meet, but if they ever did, it would be clear that Northern Qiao Feng would defeat Southern Murong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a man with a Suzhou accent in Songhe Pavilion retorted: “The Murong family is famed for ‘using the enemy’s method against him’—who in the Jianghu doesn’t know that? If they meet, Southern Murong will win!” The two began arguing back and forth, ready to brawl outside to settle who was truly superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to argue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man drinking alone in the tavern suddenly slammed his table and said: “What Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong? Have you heard of Gu Qing, the Ten-Perfect Good Man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ten-Perfect Good Man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the martial artists in Songhe Pavilion turned to look; some recognized him and said: “That’s Zhao Lun—his ancestors were Shaolin disciples, later laicized; he possesses extraordinary family martial arts and is a renowned pressure-point expert from Xinyang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Lun’s connection to Shaolin, the martial artists in the hall grew more respectful and asked: “What is this Ten-Perfect Good Man you speak of?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lun downed a bowl of wine and said: “He holds first place in swordplay, palm technique, fingertip strength, lightness skill, hidden weapons, poison arts, fist technique, internal energy, brute strength, and wisdom—ten firsts combined, hence ‘Ten-Perfect.’ And because his heart is kind, he’s called the Good Man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many firsts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artists, hearing this, were all confused, as if they hadn’t heard properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who says these are his firsts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One martial artist asked, wondering how such a man could remain unknown if he truly held so many firsts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lun’s expression turned strange. “He says so himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, everyone in the tavern burst into laughter: “If self-proclamation meant anything, I’d be the greatest under heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the greatest under heaven, past and present!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Songhe Pavilion was filled with mirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lun said: “After Gu Qing declares his titles, he challenges renowned martial artists. If he wins, he demands a gold ingot from them, which he uses to cast plaques bearing his titles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the martial artists in Songhe Pavilion fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhao…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t lose…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lun said: “But my uncle lost—he gave Gu Qing a gold ingot, which will be cast into a plaque reading ‘Greatest Fingertip Strength Under Heaven.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lun’s uncle was well-known in the Jianghu; hearing he had lost a gold ingot to Gu Qing, everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If what you say is true, Gu Qing seems even more formidable than Northern Qiao Feng and Southern Murong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll see. Northern Qiao Feng and Southern Murong never meet, but Gu Qing will seek them out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation at Songhe Pavilion continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl in black robes, face hidden under a wide-brimmed hat, descended the stairs and headed straight west into Suzhou, where she found a young man in a plain blue robe and asked in surprise: “You’re Gu Qing, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ten-Perfect Good Man, Gu Qing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed girl asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stared at Gu Qing and asked: “Why are you helping me go to Manuo Manor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing replied seriously: “Because I am good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d80a780c377dece0ec3064dc166a7080aa8cecb3e5a30145847d1f0e7276a934","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-190","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-188",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
