Chapter 41

"That senior expert intended to expel the Hu captives."

"But knowing that there was not much time left, he built the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword."

"Respectively hiding the 'Yao Yue Wumu Legacy Book', 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms', and 'Nine Yin Manual' in them."

"Entrusting our Emei founder to find suitable people to teach military strategy."

"Later, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were recovered, and the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword were passed down from generation to generation."

Everyone listened to Abbess Miejue's explanation, and then they knew the whole story.

It turned out that the original intention of forging the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heaven Sword was to deal with the Mongol Mongol Yuan Empire.

"Since the Mongol Mongol Yuan Empire has been expelled, why don't we take out the secret manuals in the Heaven Sword and practice them ourselves?"

Ma Xiuzhen, the head of the Four Beauties, said bravely.

Those present are all elite disciples of the Emei Sect.

If they really take out the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" and the "Nine Yin Manual", they have a very high probability of being able to learn them.

Sure enough.

When others heard this, their eyes shone with light.

"To tell you the truth."

"The previous sect leaders already had this idea, but unfortunately it couldn't be realized."

"The Heaven Sword is indestructible, and no method can break it."

"According to the senior expert back then."

"Only by collecting the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber and making the sword and saber collide can it be shattered."

Abbess Miejue coldly interrupted everyone's fantasy.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

It actually requires collecting the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber.

This senior expert is too pit-falling.

"So, what should we do now?"

A stunningly beautiful woman sitting in the back row on the right slowly spoke up.

It was none other than Sun Sun Xiuqing, one of the Four Beauties.

She truly possessed an otherworldly appearance, with skin like congealed fat and an ethereal, jade-like quality; as her beautiful eyes shifted, there was an indescribable charm to her.

The entire Emei Sect had always agreed that Sun Sun Xiuqing was qualified to be on the Rouge List.

Not to mention the young heroes outside.

Within the Emei Sect itself, there were no shortage of disciples who harbored admiration for Sun Sun Xiuqing.

Seeing Sun Sun Xiuqing speak, everyone couldn't help but quiet down.

"Once the secret of the Heaven-Reliant Sword is leaked, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of all sorts of petty people."

"The Emei Sect must naturally respond with all our might; even if we have to risk our lives, we must protect this divine sword that guards our sect."

Abbess Miejue said coldly.

The Emei disciples spoke in unison: "We shall strictly obey the Sect Leader's decree."

Watching her disciples united as one.

Abbess Miejue nodded with gratification, then couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh!"

"If Sect Leader Senior Dugu were still alive, the Emei Sect would never have been reduced to such timidity!"

Hearing Abbess Miejue's sigh, the disciples also mourned one after another.

As a top-tier sect of the Great Ming, when had the Emei Sect ever been so stifled?

Think back to the previous generation's Sect Leader, Senior Dugu Dugu Yihe.

He was a figure of the same renown as Wood Daoist of the Mount Wudang Sect and Zen Master Dabei of the Shaolin Sect.

If he were here to hold the fort, the Emei Sect would have nothing to fear from the heroes of the world.

"Master... Sect Leader, I have an idea."

Just then, a soft, melodious voice rang out, three parts more refined than even Sun Sun Xiuqing's.

It was Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, sitting at the very end.

Given Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts, she was not qualified to attend this emergency meeting.

But as a personal disciple of Abbess Miejue, it was considered an exception.

Abbess Miejue said: "Zhou Zhiruo, what do you have to say?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, including the Emei Three Heroes at the very front.

Earlier, it was said that only some male disciples of the Emei Sect were infatuated with Sun Sun Xiuqing.

The reason was that the other portion of disciples had their hearts set on this little junior sister, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo.

Compared to the slightly heroic Sun Sun Xiuqing.

The soft, sweet, and delicate nature unique to women from the Jiangnan water towns that Zhou Zhou Zhiruo possessed made them even more heart-struck.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo said slowly:

"Reporting to the Sect Leader."

"This disciple feels that the one who tied the bell must untie it."

"The secret of the Heaven-Reliant Sword was spread from Mr. Su in Seven Heroes Town."

"If we could have Mr. Su add a piece of information in his next miscellany."

"Informing everyone that the Heaven-Reliant Sword is indestructible, and only by clashing the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber can one obtain the secret manual within."

"I believe it would surely dispel the greed of many."

Her words were sweet and soft, unhurried yet clear and logical, making the eyes of the disciples present light up.

That's right!

Announce it directly to the world.

To obtain the secret manual inside the Heaven-Reliant Sword, one must not only get the Heaven-Reliant Sword but also the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

This would inevitably make most people shrink back.

After all, the Dragon-Slaying Saber had been missing for nearly twenty years, and no one knew its whereabouts.

Abbess Miejue narrowed her eyes slightly, also feeling this was a viable method.

If that really didn't work, she would have no choice but to beg Su Chen to provide an explanation for the Emei Sect.

Chatting about the storyteller Su Chen from Seven Heroes Town, the disciples became lively and began to discuss.

Sun Sun Xiuqing said: "I have heard that Mr. Su has vast supernatural powers and the ability to know the secrets of heaven; perhaps he would know who the murderer of Master is."

The Master she referred to was none other than the previous Emei Sect Leader, Senior Dugu Dugu Yihe.

The mysterious death of Senior Dugu Dugu Yihe had made the entire Emei Sect extremely furious.

A generation's Sect Leader mysteriously murdered—this was undoubtedly a huge joke.

Because of this, the Emei Sect's reputation in the martial arts world had plummeted.

To restore their reputation, the best way was to find the true culprit and then avenge Senior Dugu Dugu Yihe.

These words instantly moved everyone, including Abbess Miejue.

"Whether this Su Chen is truly that capable remains to be investigated."

"But since it concerns the death of the previous Sect Leader, we cannot let go even if there is a glimmer of hope."

"Perhaps, we should make a trip to Seven Heroes Town."

Abbess Miejue said steadily.

Meanwhile.

On the official road at the border of Ming and Mongol, a gorgeously decorated carriage moved leisurely forward.

Around the carriage, a dozen sturdy men accompanied it.

Each of them exuded an astonishing aura, clearly all martial arts experts.

Inside the carriage, a young girl in yellow with bright eyes and white teeth was reading a storybook, her face beaming with excitement, completely engrossed. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
