The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 427: Divine Skills, Free and Unfettered

After enjoying a simple and delicious dinner served by little A Zi, the Tianshan Child-Fairy was not polite at all to the two young people. She first tested their martial arts. Although her face remained expressionless, her heart was surging.

Not to mention that Murong Fu has top-notch internal strength, he also learned the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and Lingbo Weibu from his junior brother Wuyazi. His own unique skills, Sanhe Finger and Dou Zhuanxing Yi, are also quite proficient. Even if I were in my prime, it would be difficult for me to face him, not to mention that he also learned Dali Duan Shi's One Yang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the Beggar Gang's Dragon Subduing Palm.

Little A Zi is even younger, but her martial arts skills are not to be underestimated either. The Mysterious Dark Palm she cultivated with ice silkworms is quite magical. Not only is it immune to all poisons, it also has a certain degree of toxicity. Her ice-attributed internal force is the biggest help in practicing Tianshan martial arts. If she is trained properly, she can reach the top of the martial arts world before the age of thirty.

Don't underestimate the top martial arts masters at the age of thirty. Even those who reached the top of the Xiaoyao Sect's generation were around thirty years old. This was with the help of the Xiaoyao Sect's enviable and hated top martial arts inheritance. Although little A Zi also had the help of the ice silkworm, the martial arts she practiced were much worse.

"Northern Divine Art", "Little Wuxiang Art" and "Eternal Youth Art" are all top-notch divine arts, while the Mysterious Divine Palm can only be considered top-notch. There is a reason why little A Zi lags behind, at least that's what the Child-Father of Tianshan thinks.

After the three of them finished their meal, Tong Lao was eager to return to Lingjiu Palace. She had now regained her youth, and what she was most anxious about was to recover her cultivation and protect herself.

"Junior Brother gave you this Seven Treasures Ring because he intended to pass on the position of Xiaoyao Sect's leader to you." Tong Lao sat on Murong Fu's back as steady as a rock, but she kept talking. "But Xiaoyao Sect is a hidden sect. Are you willing to..."

"Even though Tong Lao is a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect and the owner of Lingjiu Palace, why can't I be the leader of Xiaoyao Sect and the head of Murong Family?" Murong Fu retorted, making Tong Lao very dissatisfied. She coveted the leader's ring and wanted to surpass Li Qiushui more. Seeing that he was not fooled, she wanted to give him Lingjiu Palace instead.

Tianshan Tonglao is quite confident about the power she has built, and she does not hide it in her words. She even mentioned the 72 island masters and 36 cave masters. The entire power is spread across Song Dynasty and Dali, and even overseas. The 72 island masters are the most important evidence.

"Can bullying and humiliating them truly bring them back? Don't even mention that you don't recognize the people who captured you." Murong Fu's words silenced the Tianshan Child-Grandma. After a moment, she sternly declared, "How dare those nine bastards from Green Wave Island, Wu Lao Da, dare to challenge my divine authority? I will make sure they wish they were dead."

"Haha, that's exactly why they're resisting. Now that they've explored the path to the Vulture Palace and know you're unwell, they definitely won't miss this golden opportunity. Plus, with Li Qiushui watching closely, if the two join forces to besiege the Vulture Palace, how confident do you think you are in holding it?"

Tong Lao gritted her teeth, and after a moment, she said in a long breath, "If those dogs really ally with FAW, they might really cause some trouble for Lingjiu Palace, but they will definitely not win in the end. But that bitch Li Qiushui, unless Wuyazi takes action, otherwise..."

Murong Fu laughed in his heart, thinking that although your method of provoking me is good, I will not be fooled. My martial arts skills may not be worse than Li Qiushui's. Even if my internal strength is slightly inferior, I have many unique skills. Once I use Tai Chi, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Qian Kun Da Nang Yi, I can at least remain undefeated.

But why should I help you take the blame?

"You're a man who won't get up early unless it's beneficial. You've come to my Lingjiu Palace at this time simply to do me a favor." At this point, Child-Grandma continued, "Grandma was practicing the 'Eternal Spring Technique' when that bitch plotted against her and something went wrong. She scratched her face, and she hates me to the core. She definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity. If I were to hide, it wouldn't be easy for her to find me, but Grandma's Lingjiu Palace can't stand her torment."

"I intend to go to Gusu to meet Junior Brother Wuyazi. I will leave Lingjiu Palace to you. You can read and learn the many unique skills in the palace. What do you think?" Tianshan Tonglao's words made Murong Fu smile and nod. He came to Lingjiu Palace to leave a trace and secondly for the many martial arts. You should know that the martial arts in the secret cave of Lingjiu Palace were originally said to be magical. Its history is so long that it even exceeds that of Xiaoyao Sect itself. Even the three elders of Xiaoyao Sect have not learned them all.

"Tong Lao also wants me to escort you all the way to Gusu?"

"That's not necessary. Grandma isn't that weak, and that bitch can't predict things that well. We still have three to five days to go. But Grandma's trip must be kept secret. With you in charge of the Vulture Palace, Grandma is relieved. But I need someone to serve me. The maids in the palace are easily recognized by outsiders. I think you're a good wife, and I'm planning to take her with me and train her. What do you think?"

Murong Fu laughed in his heart, thinking that the Tianshan Child-Grandma was very concerned about her reputation. She wanted Xiao A Zi, a newly promoted top-notch master, to be her bodyguard but was embarrassed to say it directly, so she used this as an excuse. However, the Tianshan Child-Grandma's martial arts were indeed not weak, and her martial arts training was not comparable to Xiao A Zi's. In addition, the Tianshan martial arts originally tended to be icy in nature, so she was indeed the best candidate for Xiao A Zi's master.

"It's A Zi's honor to receive instruction from Tong Lao." Murong Fu would not ruin little A Zi's opportunity. Ever since she knew Tong Lao's identity, little A Zi had been trying to please her. She was a top martial arts master in the martial arts world, and her martial arts skills were even better than her husband's. She was also the senior sister of the senior Wuyazi from Chanhe Villa. Such a clever little girl naturally knew what to do.

The secrecy surrounding the Tianshan Child-Grandma's disappearance, coupled with the short time it took to return, meant there wasn't much commotion. However, upon her return, Child-Grandma flew into a rage, claiming she had been abducted by a few servants at the Vulture Palace. Had she not encountered Murong Fu and Little A'Zi, the consequences would have been disastrous. If she had truly died at the hands of a few bastards, that would have been truly unjust.

On the morning of the second day, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan summoned the top leaders of the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes, and pushed Murong Fu and Xiao A Zi out, saying that she needed to practice in seclusion. The entire Lingjiu Palace was temporarily handed over to Murong Fu for management. As for his status, he was the young master of the Lingjiu Palace and the nephew of the Child-Fairy.

You said that Murong Fu is Wuyazi's grandson-in-law, not Wuyazi's disciple. Is the generation a bit confused?

Haha, Tianshan Tonglao doesn't care about all that. There is no place for Li Qiushui in her heart, and she will not recognize Wang Yuyan as Li Qiushui's granddaughter. In her mind, Murong Fu, who got Wuyazi's Seven Treasures Ring, is Wuyazi's successor and the third-generation leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Murong Fu had been in a high position for a long time and naturally had an extraordinary aura. He first intimidated everyone with his aura and pressure, and then defeated many masters of Lingjiu Palace alone. After that, he asked for the map of Piaomiao Peak, added some defensive arrangements on the original basis, arranged new tasks, and then sent everyone away.

"As expected of someone valued by Junior Brother Wuyazi, you are worthy of being the third-generation head of the Xiaoyao Sect." Tianshan Tonglao said, "Come with me. I will take you to the most secret place of the Xiaoyao Sect, the place of its core inheritance."

There is a cave in the back hall of Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak, which was hidden quite well by them. The Child-Fairy of Tianshan led Murong Fu and little A Zi to the garden, pulled the trigger, moved a rockery, and revealed the entrance to the tunnel.

Along the way, Child-Grandma kept pressing triggers from hidden locations to prevent the traps from being activated. The tunnel twisted and turned, spiraling downwards, sometimes opening up to reveal a vast cavern. It was clear that the tunnel had been carved out of a natural cavern deep within the mountain. "This cavern isn't owned by the Xiaoyao Sect. It's hundreds of years old, left behind by our ancestors. My master stumbled upon it and used it as the foundation for the Lingjiu Palace."

"The stone walls contain unique martial arts left by our ancestors, all of which are profound and abstruse. Ordinary people without deep internal strength and martial arts training will find them more harmful than beneficial." Tong Lao glanced past Murong Fu at this point and said to little A Zi, "Your martial arts skills are pretty good. If you stay here for three to five days straight, you might be fine, but more than seven days will be harmful. As for you, kid, if you take a break every ten days or half a month, you should probably be fine."

"You, girl, have my personal instruction, which is a hundred times better than learning stone wall martial arts by yourself. Let him stay here by himself. I will have people deliver breakfast and dinner every day so that he won't starve." After saying this, Tong Lao took little A Zi away, leaving Murong Fu alone, looking at the many stone wall murals with a complicated expression.

Ding~, a secret realm hidden in the Tianlong world has been discovered. The knowledge hidden in this secret realm exceeds the boundaries of the current world. Most of the content will not be displayed. The compensation is the unique skill "Xiaoyao Yufeng"!

Xiaoyao Yufeng: The name of Xiaoyao Sect comes from this book. The content is unfathomable. The leaders of all generations could only receive one or two items from it, including Xiaoyaozi!

After careful study, Murong Fu discovered that even with his martial arts training, he couldn't understand it! Only occasionally did he have a flash of inspiration, and understanding some fragments made him gain a lot, and he couldn't help but admire the owner of the stone wall even more.

This time, I got the "Eternal Youth Skill" and "Free and Easy Wind Control", which can be considered a great gain. Especially the "Free and Easy Wind Control" allows me to continue to research and discover new and improved magical skills, and it has been imprinted in my mind, so I don't need to stay in this stone room anymore.

The next step is to defeat Li Qiushui and subdue the seventy-two island masters and thirty-six cave masters!

If possible, he could also subdue Li Qiushui, which would be of great help to his future conquest of Xixia. After all, Li Qiushui was the best master in Xixia and the real ruler of Xixia Yipintang.

It was still early, and Tong Lao was a clever woman. Traveling at night was more effective at concealing herself, so she naturally had to make full use of the daytime. Her women were all very obedient, and Murong Fu was also capable. For a master like her, preparing for the trip was even simpler, so she left the remaining time to Murong Fu, guiding him in the cultivation of the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand.

These two martial arts were quite remarkable, one comparable to or even slightly superior to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, while the other was even more profound and boundless, capable of encompassing all the martial arts in the world. Although Murong Fu was taught these two magical skills and Wuyazi carefully instructed him, different people have different perceptions. Tianshan Tonglao's martial arts experience differed from Wuyazi's, which greatly benefited Murong Fu. Although his internal strength could not be improved, his unique skills made great strides forward.
