Chapter 25:The New Virtuous Palace
Young Master Qiu Wufeng was breathless He had narrowly escaped with his life when he was attacked by Ye Lu the Lightning God, Qiao Feng the Shadow Kicker and Lu Baiyun the Heartless Scholar
He was laughing bitterly now Ye Lu, Qiao Feng and Lu Baiyun were his former subordinates Yet they had conspired to betray his clan Overnight, the Qiu Martial Clan was massacred by these three evil és were all killed and the rest had surrendered
He was fortunate to have escaped
Gu Tianle was now the Grand Master of the Honor Manor and he had the lofty ambition to dominate the entire fraternity under his leadershi+p
The Qiu Martial Clan had always opposed the Gongsun Martial Clan and the Honor Manor Over the years, there had been bad blood between the two major martial clans and many were killed
It was only in the recent twenty-years that the Gongsun Martial Clan had overshadowed the Qiu Martial Clan It was more the reasons to resent the Honor Manor
The Qiu Martial Clan under the leadershi+p of his father Qiu Cang, recruited Ye Lu, Qiao Feng and Lu Baiyun to the Qiu Martial Clan in order to strengthen the fighting strength of the Qiu Martial Clan They were made the Masters of the White, Black and Yellow Factions
Ye Lu and Qiao Feng were the ones that had maimed Gu Tianle and there were a bitter feud between the them in, the feud between the two martial clans deepened
When Gongsun Bai had died, Gu Tianle took over the helsun Jing Gu Tianle proved to be even sun Bai and his lofty ambitions were revealed the és of the Gongsun Clan who had opposed him were killed immediately
Just when the Qiu Martial Clan was secretly rejoiced over the desun Bai, they were also betrayed by their own followers!
Gu Tianle had pro the Qiu Martial Clan into the Honor Manor, not only he would forgive thereat wealth and a position as one of the masters of the Honor Manor!
Naturally this offer was extre to them!
One would have thought that the Honor Manor would have suffered a great blow at the desun Bai That was not the case
Over the years, Gu Tianle had carefully nurtured his reputation as a fearsosun Bai; he had already gained faé Master of the Holy Hex Sect twenty years ago
Noith the threat of the various unorthodox clans and even the heretic sects in the nervous horizon, there was no other person that was more suitable to lead the orthodox fraternity than Gu Tianle himself
Because the Gongsun Clan had been oppressing the various orthodox clans for ilists in the fraternity illing to coh what Gu Tianle did was not entirely righteous
But who could say that Gu Tianle was entirely wrong? He had seized the power and had become the Grandsun Clan was their internal affair The orthodox fraternity had never questioned the internal affairs of the various martial clans It was because all the martial clans had their own clan rules and internal punished that Gu Tianle was now the Grand Master and as happening noas an act of asserting his authority for the stability of his rule
Within the firstthe leadershi+p of the Honor Manor, Gu Tianle had established the twelve golden halls of the Honor Manor Each of the golden halls was to be helm by a master with authority second only to the Grandolden halls were also very strict in the Honor Manor, selecting only the best fighters
Ye Lu and Qiao Feng naturally did not want to be an eneeful nature Therefore when the Honor Manor had sent the the Qiu Martial Clan under the influence of the Honor Manor, they had made the decision to accept almost immediately
Young Master Qiu struck his fist bitterly at a tree truck as he cried out loudly, “Ye Lu, Qiao Feng and Lu Baiyun! You traitors! You have killed so many of my clan members If I do not cut all of you to pieces, I will not rest!”
All of a sudden, Qiu Wufeng detected the presence of a living person as he said panicky “Who is that? Who is so sneaky?”
A person juhed, “You have not changed at all…”
When Qiu Wufeng saw hi!”
Indeed, it was Gongsun Jing!
Gongsun Jing smiled bitterly, “I a my rest”
Qiu Wufeng had drawn out his long sword and said, “The Honor Manor is here finally Gongsun Jing, you’re a despicable man You have killed my kin and many of my followers If I do not kill you today, I aht with me one on one?”
Gongsun Jing drew his long sword as he said, “There are four things that you must know first First, I am alone Secondly, I am not from the Honor Manor anymore Thirdly, I am not the one that has killed your kin The one that has killed your kin is you!”
Qiu Wufeng interrupted angrily, “I am the one that has killedcrap!”
Gongsun Jing said bitterly, “Younow Because your affair with your father’s mistress is discovered, in your moment of foolhardy, you have killed your father You have even tried to seize the position of Grand Master of the Qiu Martial Clan but are opposed by your elders Therefore, your faction and those that oppose you broke into a power struggle Eventually, evil cannot triuood and your wicked deeds are exposed by Ye Lu, Qiao Feng and Lu Baiyun who opposed your wickedness”
Qiu Wufeng was enraged, “This is all lies! I would kill my father!? They are the ones that have killed all my kin!”
Gongsun Jin said coldly, “Do you think that with your puny skills that you can escape from the fraternity three topmost exponents?”
Qiu Wufeng was stunned He slowly said, “They have intended to oat from the very start?”
Gongsun Jing said, “Now you got it…”
Qiu Wufeng smiled bitterly as he said, “No wonder But it is my lucky fortune that I have met you alone I will kill you to vent my frustrations!”
Gongsun Jing said, “Hold! Don’t you want to hear my forth reason first?”
Qiu Wufeng said coldly, “You can say it now”
Gongsun Jing said bitterly, “Like you, I aitive wanted by the Honor Manor and Gu Tianle”
Qiu Wufeng was startled, “You are a fugitive too?”
Gongsun Jing said, “Look atto you?”
Qiu Wufeng looked carefully at Gongsun Jing Indeed all his forone and he looked worn out He muttered, “What happens?”
Gongsun Jing said, “Gu Tianle is now the Grand Master of the Honor Manor The mantle should be helmed by me But because Gu Tianle had become the Grand Master, all my other brothers and elders who had protested were killed by Jue Yuan and him”
He paused before adding, “Like you, I a my brothers…”
Qiu Wufeng lowered his long sword as he said, “To think that both of us who used to be theht…”
Gongsun Jing said coolly, “Indeed”
Qiu Wufeng asked, “So what are your plans now?”
Gongsun Jing said, “What else? I have a score to settle with Gu Tianle”
All of a sudden, there was a couple of wicked laughter “I am afraid you don’t have the chance”
Both Qiu Wufeng and Gongsun Jing looked to the direction of the wicked laughter and saw Ye Lu and Qiao Feng!
Ye Lu said, “I have heard that anyone that could capture or kill either Gongsun Jing or Qiu Wufeng would be made one of the Masters of the Golden Halls of the Honor Manor If we kill the two of theolden halls?”
Qiao Feng laughed, “We cannot let them die until we have ant”
Gongsun Jing said coldly, “What do you mean?”
Ye Lu said, “Young Master Jing, I have heard that you are always the s to tell us where you hide your clan o”
Qiu Wufeng shouted angrily, “Never!”
Gongsun Jing said coolly, “I do not knohat you mean”
Qiao Feng stepped forward, “There are worst fates that death itself I wouldus what you know earlier”
Gongsun Jing glanced at Qiu Wufeng as he said, “You are on my side?”
Qiu Wufeng said bitterly, “I hate to say this but yes, I am on your side”
Gongsun Jing said solemnly, “Good What past is the past We should put aside our differences and fight on the same side”
The reason that he had said that was because this fight was a critical fight He did not want to fight against Ye Lu and Qiao Feng at the sa
Qiu Wufeng said, “I agree with you”
Qiu Wufeng orried about the sa words had assured hih it was hard for them to put aside years of differences and spat
Qiao Feng said, “Are you done talking? As your seniors, ill let you attack us first”
Gongsun Jing said, “Thank you!” And he i
Qiu Wufeng was not slow either as he immediately raised his sword towards Ye Lu!
Gongsun Jing was a renowned swordsht and he had many martial masters while he was in the Honor Manor However, no ue his swordplay had been, he could not steady his sword against the powerful windforce kicks of Qiao Feng and received a few hard kicks in return!
When swordplay could not be steadied, the openings were many and many of his stances became useless Therefore he put aside his sword and used his fists instead
Qiu Wufeng was a superior swordsman His windless wordplay was renowned in the fraternity Unfortunately, Ye Lu was his former martial master and was too familiar with his swordplay In less than a hundred strokes, he had been struck a dozen blows by Ye Lu!
Qiu Wufeng and Gongsun Jing were knocked on the ground at alard and had several external injuries
Ye Lu said coldly, “Are you convinced now? We will break every single bone in your body anda worse fate than death Unless of course, you will tell us ant to know”
Gongsun Jing laughed aloud as he spat out blood fro Men like you will not keep any promises”
Qiao Feng said, “We proo your way After all, we have a reputation in the fraternity”
Qiu Wufeng interrupted fiercely, “Promise my foot! You have sworn your fealty to me and now you are after my life!”
Qiao Feng said coldly, “That is because you haveto kick Qiu Wufeng when all of a sudden, he saw a youngquietly
Qiao Feng and Ye Lu both took a step backward in startled surprise!
They were startled that someone would approach them so quietly until he was in full view of them
Qiao Feng asked, “Who are you?”
Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng had recognized Yi Ping immediately!
The noble youngWe have met before”
Qiao Feng looked intently at this youngyoung man before He asked, “We have met before?”
Yi Ping said, “At the Heavenly Mountains, we once had a fight”
Qiao Feng received a jolt in his head, “It is you!” He immediately attacked him with his multiple kicks!
He shouted, “Young nize you!”
Indeed he had He was still bitter about his defeat by a nobody in the Heavenly Mountains This had caused hireat loss of face and caused him to be disdained by the Heartless Scholar
Yi Ping said coldly, “Do you want to be defeated by ain?”
Qiao Feng did not show anywas startled but coe of kicks in retaliation
Try as hard as Qiao Feng in attacking hi man was like an iressed so fast in such a short span of time!
After a while, Qiao Feng was surprised at the persistent and strength of the young man’s kick that he shouted, “Brother Ye, why are you still standing there? Hurry and help me!”
Ye Lu was startled Even though they were unorthodox fighters and honor did not ainst a junior…if word get out that they would fight a junior together, they would lose their faces in the eyes of the other exponents in the fraternity!
Qiao Feng was shouting desperately, “Brother Ye, what are you waiting for! Hurry!”
Ye Lu sighed as he reluctantly entered the htning, hit like thunder!
Yi Ping was gaining the upper hand when the Lightning God entered the melee fray He quickly lifted another vital breath and focused his ith the ‘Absolute Spirits Intricate Forainst Ye Lu
Instead of weakening against the co even more furiously than ever!
They were surprised that Yi Ping could use his hands against Ye Lu, legs against Qiao Feng at the sa into a sweat!
While Yi Ping had been co heavily They had taken several hits and had used up th and they had still not been able to hit him even once!
Yi Ping had used the ‘Resolute Strength Recite’ and the ‘Unfaltering Recite’ from the ‘Absolute Spirits Intricate Forer his opponents, the stronger he must be!
Ye Lu had never expected this youngand he was one of the top exponents of the ht untold powerful exponents together, including the Celestial Fairy Even Gu Tianle was onceman was able to hold them off effortlessly It was totally unbelievable!
