Chapter 43

As Su Hang reached this point,

the entire Half-Moon Inn immediately exploded!

A burst of uncontrollable clamor erupted from the crowd!

"What! What did Mr. Su say? I must be blind, I can't hear!"

"I can't believe it... If what Mr. Su just said is true, then it's certain that the hottest topic in the Wu Lin has been born!"

"No way? Could Mr. Su mean that the dignified Tibetan Imperial Preceptor actually had an affair with the Western Xia Empress Dowager? Wait! I can't process this!"

"Sigh! The world is truly going downhill! People's hearts are not what they used to be! The world is in chaos!!! By the way, may I ask, is the Western Xia Empress Dowager still recruiting?"

"Shocking! I never expected such an unbelievable thing to happen in this Wu Lin! A dignified Imperial Preceptor and a Western Xia Empress Dowager, how could they..."

And at this very moment,

after hearing the crowd’s discussion,

Su Hang continued:

"Back then, Carefree Zi took in three disciples and taught them martial arts separately."

"But later, for some reason, these three disciples of the Carefree Sect had a falling out and fought each other."

"The first disciple, Wu Xingyun, and the third disciple, Li Li Qiushui, completely broke ties over their struggle for Wu Wu Yazi."

"Overnight, the two went from being fellow disciples to mortal enemies."

"Li Li Qiushui deliberately disturbed Wu Xingyun while she was practicing, causing her to suffer a deviation of Qi, which left her looking like an eight or nine-year-old child for the rest of her life."

"And Wu Xingyun also took advantage of Li Li Qiushui when she was off guard, drugging her and destroying her appearance."

"There was no longer any sisterly affection between them."

"Later, the eldest sister, Wu Xingyun, left the Carefree Sect and founded the Vulture Palace, commanding the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands of the Wu Lin, shaking the world for a time."

"As for Li Li Qiushui, she married the Emperor of Western Xia, and after many twists and turns, she finally ascended to the throne of the Western Xia Empress Dowager."

"Back then, Li Li Qiushui relied on her natural charm and well-maintained appearance; even at the age of fifty, she looked no more than thirty."

"Li Li Qiushui’s sudden appearance captivated the old Emperor of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao!"

"The Emperor of Western Xia didn't say a word and immediately welcomed Li Li Qiushui into the palace, even making her Empress!"

"But not long after Li Li Qiushui became Empress, the founding Emperor of Western Xia passed away!"

"As a result, the former Carefree Sect disciple, now Western Xia Empress Li Li Qiushui, naturally ascended to the throne of Empress Dowager!"

"From then on, the entire Western Xia was ruled by the Empress Dowager alone. Although an Emperor was later installed, you all understand that he was nothing more than a puppet!"

"In fact, there was only one Emperor of Western Xia, and that was Li Li Qiushui!"

When Su Hang reached this point, the crowd finally realized the truth.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.

A moment later, sparse sounds began to rise from the crowd.

"Now that Mr. Su has said this, it completely matches the events of that year!"

"It is rumored that the Western Xia Empress Dowager is devout to Buddha and treats high monks from all over the world with courtesy. Presumably, the Imperial Preceptor entered the Western Xia palace at that time..."

"Tsk tsk tsk! I heard that the Western Xia Empress Dowager is naturally seductive. If I could spend one night with her, I would be willing to live twenty years less!"

"In the harem of the Western Xia Empress Dowager, spending days lecturing on scriptures and discussing life philosophy with Empress Dowager Li Li Qiushui, how enviable..."

"And in return, the Empress Dowager would naturally teach him all her martial arts; only then could she move the Imperial Preceptor’s heart."

"And Li Qiushui is, after all, a disciple of the Carefree Sect and received the true teachings of Carefree Zi. What she mastered was none other than the Small Formless Art, right?"

"Good heavens! My good heavens! I never expected a monk could sell his body?"

"Isn't that so? For thousands of years, there have been no shortage of princes, nobles, young masters of aristocratic families, and martial arts heroes who have served as lovers... but this is the first time I've heard of a monk serving as a lover!"

Hearing this,

Jiumozhi couldn't take it anymore!

He shook violently, and an extremely fierce aura burst forth instantly.

The two fiery red blade lights in his hands were even more violent!

"You damn fortune-telling ghost!"

"How dare you slander me for having been a lover in Western Xia!"

"If I don't finish you off today, I fear the Buddha will blame me!"

Having said that, Jiumozhi didn't hesitate and immediately waved his sleeves, instantly shooting out two Flame Blades!

Seeing this, the crowd scattered!

One must know that Jiumozhi is not Gusu Murong Fu!

And he is certainly not comparable to the likes of Bao Butong!

Even in the current comprehensive martial arts world, even in the Great Han, Northern Liang, or even Northern Li, where there are many martial arts experts, Jiumozhi’s strength is enough to stand his ground!

After all,

he is a true Grandmaster!

Gusu Murong Fu practiced martial arts just to be greedy and fast; he wanted decency, speed, and to look good! He wanted the admiration and respect of the world's heroes!

But Jiumozhi is completely different.

Although he served as a lover, he is a genuine martial arts fanatic!

Not only did he master martial arts techniques like the Flame Blade,

but he also learned the Small Formless Art,

and even the Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts, which Jiumozhi is quite proficient in.

It can be said that with Jiumozhi’s current strength, even facing Grandmasters like Hearing Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai, he might not necessarily fall behind!

And in terms of the breadth of martial arts, Hearing Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai cannot compare to him at all.

At this moment,

Jiumozhi roared and fired four more Flame Blades through the air.

For a time, six Flame Blades shot toward Su Hang like cannonballs.

Just as everyone was breaking into a cold sweat for Su Hang,

suddenly, flowers filled the sky,

and a familiar figure appeared abruptly,

accompanied by the sharpest sword intent!

Boom!

Another explosion rang out,

and under this sword intent, Jiumozhi’s Flame Blades were instantly disintegrated,

and he himself was completely blown away!

Everyone looked,

and saw that this figure was none other than,

Li Li Hanyi, who had returned from asking for the sword!

Seeing Su Hang, Li Li Hanyi bowed respectfully, a slight blush appearing on her face.

"Mr. Su..."

"I have returned."
