Chapter 19: The Earth Collapses and the Mountain Crumbles, the Hero Dies

A short while later, Qian Chen followed Huang Yuhan to a secluded small courtyard, where only Hong Sihai and Divine Monk Kongming were present. Master Elder Wan Shi was still in the Wuhu Hall presiding over the overall situation. He only heard Divine Monk Kongming say, "The Hall Master is tied to the overall situation of the Wu Lin, how can you be so careless... If the Twelve Yuan Chen hadn't designed to cripple one of the Hall Master's arms, how would they dare to be so arrogant?"

Hong Sihai laughed heartily, "How could I let these villains destroy the remains of my sworn brother."

Seeing Huang Yuhan enter, he greeted him, "Yuhan! How is the arrangement of the mourning hall for my sworn brother going?"

Huang Yuhan lowered his head and replied, "Everything has been handled."

"I want to use the heads of the Twelve Yuan Chen to sacrifice to the spirit of Second Brother in heaven!" Hong Sihai had been holding back his anger, and only at this moment did it finally reveal itself.

Huang Yuhan asked Qian Chen to examine Hong Sihai's injury. Qian Chen opened the bandaged right fist of Hong Sihai and frowned when he saw the torn and bleeding wound. He pondered for a long time before raising his head. Seeing Divine Monk Kongming, whose expression was slightly nervous, Qian Chen smiled calmly, took out the medicine box from his bosom, prepared the wound medicine, and changed it for Hong Sihai.

He also said, "Old Hero Hong's hand injury is quite heavy, I'm afraid it will take a few months to heal properly. I used some 'wolf and tiger' medicine on the wound. Although it delayed the healing time, it accelerated the recovery effect in the short term. After tonight, the Old Hero will be able to use his fist... but every time you use it, the injury will worsen by a point. If you use it a few times in a short period, I'm afraid..."

Zen Master Kongming asked nervously, "Afraid of what?"

"Afraid that this hand will be crippled!"

Divine Monk Kongming's good temper was also annoyed by Qian Chen! "How can this be..."

"That is just right..." Hong Sihai waved his hand, "Let me personally avenge my sworn brother and the disciples who died in the hall!"

Hong Sihai and Divine Monk Kongming had more to discuss, so Huang Yuhan and Qian Chen took their leave first. On the way, Qian Chen laughed, "I really don't know much about these Wu Lin affairs. I can't even call out the names of many heroes, and it's hard to strike up a conversation."

Huang Yuhan said, "What's difficult about that? I will introduce them to little brother."

Huang Yuhan first pointed to a young swordsman and introduced him.

"This is the rising star of the righteous path, Three Absolute Swordsman Kang Kang Qian Deng. His sword technique is incomparably sharp. Although he is still a newcomer among the masters, relying on his family's divine weapon, the Jinghong Sword, he is already not below any famous master who has been established for a long time."

"This is the Jade Maiden of the Jade Maiden Yaksha in the Wu Lin, Heroine Shen Wanjun..." Huang Yuhan pointed to a beautiful young woman with a pretty face but a face as cold as frost, dressed in plain clothes, and explained to Qian Chen with some regret, "Five years ago, Hero Wang Fu, the Yaksha King, was harmed by the Twelve Yuan Chen. Heroine Shen vowed to take revenge and changed her name to Jade Rakshasa. Now the enemy who killed her husband is right in front of her, but it is difficult to kill him with her own hands, so I'm afraid it is the most tormenting..."

"Although Hero Fu was ugly in appearance, he had a chivalrous heart. And Heroine Shen was once a famous beauty in the Wu Lin. The two became husband and wife, which gave the friends in the Wu Lin a big shock! But this chivalrous couple was very loving and the envy of others. It's just a pity..."

"This is Zhao Cheng, the hero of the One Line of Heaven. Hero Zhao is in charge of the Changfeng Escort Agency and is the Chief Escort. A spear of 'Setting Sun' once challenged eighteen strongholds on Taiping Mountain, causing the 'Eight Hundred Miles of Uneven Mountain, the soul of the returning person breaks at the path', and from then on, it was renamed Taiping Mountain!"

Chief Escort Zhao Cheng was a silent man who often wiped that divine spear, Setting Sun, by himself.

"And Du Zihuai, Hero Du, whose 'Bixue Danxin' sword technique is mysterious and unpredictable."

Qian Chen looked over and saw a down-and-out swordsman dressed as a middle-aged scholar, with a few strands of long hair scattered on his forehead, his eyes vacant, with a kind of drunken confusion.

"That inconspicuous old man is Old Hero Li, the General-Minister Old Man. His name is imposing, but he has a background. His family's divine weapon is a Spring and Autumn Pen, but he loves spear techniques. Later, he combined pen techniques and spear techniques into one, opening his own school, known as General-Minister, and is already one of the top experts in the Wu Lin most likely to break through to Grandmaster."

This Old Hero Li, however, was an extremely spirited, thin, and dry old man with an iron pen hanging from his waist.

"That upright gentleman is Hero Xu Xiaoyang. The Xu family's Righteous Mountain Villa is famous. Although they use hidden weapons as their family tradition, they never hurt people secretly. Their family's divine weapon, the Five-Colored Stone, is also one of the most famous and powerful divine weapons in the Wu Lin."

And this Hero Xu Xiaoyang looked like a wealthy squire. He had a beautiful beard on his chin, which was groomed extremely well, clearly very cherished by its owner.

Huang Yuhan, as the head steward of the Four Seas Hall, had many things to do at this time, so he bid farewell to Qian Chen. Qian Chen lay on the cot for half the night when he suddenly heard violent shouts of killing coming from outside the Four Seas Hall, breaking the peace of the night.

Qian Chen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and sighed, "Brother Huang!"

The Twelve Yuan Chen had already killed their way into the Four Seas Hall.

Huang Yuhan was probably already unfortunate!

Although they had only known each other for a day, the two already had a tacit understanding and friendship... In silence, Qian Chen packed up his bedding, carried the Heaven-Luo San on his back, and gathered in front of the main hall with the startled heroes.

Hong Sihai stood on the main hall with a gloomy face, his right hand behind his back, his left hand tightly gripping the back of the chair. The bulging veins on the back of his hand showed the unrest in his heart. After everyone had gathered, Hong Sihai said, "Yuhan was killed in the mourning hall while arranging the mourning hall for my sworn brother!"

The heroes exploded, "Who did it? The Four Seas Hall's defense is airtight, could it be..."

Divine Monk Kongming stepped forward, "No one left last night!"

"How cunning the Twelve Yuan Chen are..."

"We cannot sit and wait for death anymore!" the Eight-Disabled beggar said angrily, "The Twelve Yuan Chen have already killed their way in outside! With so many of us, are we afraid of a few villains?"

"Yes, kill our way out!" someone echoed.

Hong Sihai and Zen Master Kongming looked at each other, knowing that Huang Yuhan was dead and no one could take over his role to make the Four Seas Hall's defense airtight. Now, although Huang Yuhan's remaining arrangements were still constantly reporting the enemy situation into the Wuhu Hall, no one could handle them one by one and properly mobilize the Four Seas Hall disciples.

It was better to let the righteous heroes split up to defend against the enemy according to the current enemy situation.

Hong Sihai waved his hand, and the group of heroes walked out of the Wuhu Hall together, "Eight-Disabled Elder, Quick-Tongued brothers, you three form a group to meet the enemy from the south, be careful of the enemy's sneak attacks."

Everything was ordered in this way, and it was orderly.

But Qian Chen knew this was just an appearance. Don't look at how they had grouped up now and seemed to be responding appropriately; in reality, after grouping up, they had basically lost control of the intelligence and the situation. Qian Chen carried the Heaven-Luo San on his back. He only saw the bright moon pacing out of the clouds, its clear radiance chilling people, yet it spilled all over the ground, illuminating the entire hall. In the distance, thunder and fire roared, and the sounds of killing rose, which was completely different from the quiet and intense fighting when Huang Yuhan was there not long ago. The whistle codes of the Four Seas Hall disciples encountering the enemy rose one after another.

The night had already turned chaotic!

Qian Chen went straight to the place where the killing intent was strongest, just to kill the enemy and sacrifice to his friend!

In the winding corridor leading to the backyard, where the moonlight couldn't reach, shadows seemed to be moving. Qian Chen and several righteous heroes were about to go to the backyard where the sounds of killing were most intense when they heard a few ghost-like laughter sounds coming from the darkness...

"Hee hee hee..."

This sudden laughter was mysterious and cold... making people's hair stand on end. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
