The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 60: Dongfang Bubai's Decree

When Xu Xingchen was about to arrive at West Lake, three major events broke out in succession in the martial arts world, and each of them was related to the Qingcheng Sect.

The first big thing.
One day, in the market at the foot of Mount Qingcheng, the family of a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, seeing that their child had not returned home for a long time, went up the mountain to visit him. As a result, they saw corpses all over the ground, which were rotten and swollen beyond recognition.

All the disciples inside and outside Songfeng Temple in Qingcheng Mountain were stabbed in the eyes and then killed with a sword. Before they died, they seemed terrified and unbelievable, but did not make much resistance.

The tombstone of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, was also found in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

The Qingcheng Sect was wiped out!
The second big thing.
In order to vent their hatred, Yu Canghai's enemies pushed down Yu Canghai's tombstone, dug up the grave, and prepared to whip Yu Canghai's corpse, but they were shocked to find that Yu Canghai was wearing a woman's red robe, and there seemed to be traces of rouge and lipstick on his face. It was suspected that the person who killed him disguised Yu Canghai's corpse as a woman.
Yu Canghai's fatal injury was a fist-sized hole in his chest, which was pierced from front to back. Because the speed was too fast, it burned the wound and the blood coagulated.
I wonder what kind of terrifying martial arts in the world could cause such a shocking wound.
Secondly, the enemy also discovered a big secret, Yu Canghai's lower body was also castrated
The whole family was killed, and the leader was insulted by the murderer, castrated, dressed in women's clothes, and dressed as a woman.
These indescribable perverted behaviors are simply outrageous and have made the righteous people in the martial arts world furious. They have ordered a thorough investigation of the murderer and vowed to seek justice for the Qingcheng Sect.

The third big thing.
The demon cult members in Sichuan and Shu regions snatched away Yu Canghai's body and sent it to Heimu Cliff.

Not long after, Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Demon Cult who had been silent for many years, issued an edict to the martial arts world, looking for information about the person who killed Yu Canghai. Anyone who could provide the information would receive a huge reward from the Demon Cult, including wealth, glory, beauties, martial arts, whatever they wanted.

When this decree was issued, it was even more shocking than the anger of the righteous martial arts world.

Dongfang Bubai, as the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, has been the world's number one master for many years. It is rumored that he has been living in seclusion on the Black Wood Cliff because he could not find a worthy opponent. However, his great reputation still terrifies people all over the world. Every time the name is mentioned, they feel a chill in their hearts.

Now, Dongfang Bubai, who had not appeared in the world for a long time, made his voice again, which immediately shocked the entire martial arts world. All the people in the martial arts world were shocked and excited. For a moment, there was a lot of blood and rain in the martial arts world.

Such momentum and majesty are truly: Before the Dragon King moves, the wind and rain come first.
It is like an imperial decree: once the words are spoken, the world is shocked!
The entire martial arts world was showing signs of unrest because of Dongfang Bubai's decree.

A few days later, someone found out that before the Qingcheng Mountain was wiped out, a man wearing a ghost mask went up to the Qingcheng Mountain with a stick and knocked all the disciples of the Qingcheng Mountain to the ground.
Soon, someone associated this unique weapon with the shadowless stick, which reminded him of the evil man who went south to eliminate evil and destroy every stronghold he encountered: the shadowless stick demon.
People connected the stick with the hole in Yu Canghai's chest, and immediately raised the martial arts of the murderer to a higher level, making him a world-class master.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
With the temptation of a huge reward from the Demon Cult hanging in front of them, many martial artists began to inquire about the whereabouts, news, and origins of the Shadowless Stick Demon.
But the Shadowless Stick Demon seemed to appear out of thin air, and his identities were varied.

According to eyewitness accounts, the Shadowless Stick Demon was a middle-aged man with a conical hat and an untidy beard.

There are also rumors that the Shadowless Stick Demon is nine feet tall, a person can stand on his fist, a horse can run on his arm, and the stick in his hand is as thick as the mouth of a cup. Otherwise, how could there be a fist-sized hole left on Yu Canghai's chest?
Some people also say that the Shadowless Stick Demon is a dwarf. This last guess is groundless!

The world is bustling with activity and the situation is turbulent.
Xu Xingchen rode a black donkey along the way and naturally heard the news in many town markets.

He already knew that the extermination of a prestigious and powerful sect was an earth-shattering event that would surely stir up endless storms. It was natural that the righteous in the martial arts world would be outraged.

But even Dongfang Bubai was alarmed and started a war for this, which made him feel scared and terrified.

Xu Xingchen understood very well that Dongfang Bubai must have heard about Yu Canghai's strange dress and the fact that his genitals were cut, so he guessed something.

When Yu Canghai's body is brought to Blackwood Cliff by the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai will definitely know the fact that Yu Canghai practiced the "Sunflower Manual" after personally examining it.
The Exorcist Qi is too evil and overbearing. When it is in operation, it disrupts the balance of yin and yang in the human body. The Qi of the whole body fluctuates violently. Its nature is too special and will inevitably leave some obvious traces in the physical body.

Dongfang Bubai, who was practicing the Sunflower Manual, knew the answer as soon as he found out, which is why he issued the imperial edict later.
"Whether it's the mask or the stick, these two things can no longer be used."

"Fortunately, I thought about the problem in advance and redesigned my image."

"I just want to stir up the martial arts world now, but I don't want to fight against Dongfang Bubai yet."

Xu Xingchen thought of the world in the book, describing the scene of Dongfang Bubai, who, with a silver needle, defeated Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Shangguan Yun, four great masters, and even blinded one of Ren Woxing's eyes. If Ren Yingying hadn't threatened Yang Lianting's life, the four great masters would have died at the hands of Dongfang Bubai.
Invincible in the East, Invincible in the East!
The title of the best in the world is truly well deserved!

If he were targeted by Dongfang Bubai now, he would definitely die!
Can't beat it! Totally unbeatable!
Whenever he thought of Yu Canghai's ghostly agility, he felt a headache and fear. If he faced Dongfang Bubai, he might not even have the chance to struggle.

Xu Xingchen, riding on the back of the black donkey, gently stroked the donkey's smooth fur with his hand, muttering to himself: "I must release Ren Woxing quickly to divert Dongfang Bubai's attention!"

"I need more time to grow and develop."

That day, Xu Xingchen came to Hangzhou City, found an inn, had a big meal, went upstairs and had a good sleep. When he got up the next day, he rode his donkey and started circling the West Lake.

On the evening of the third day, I saw a mountain full of plum trees.

It was January, the season when plum blossoms were in full bloom. The plum blossoms everywhere dyed the entire mountain range into a sea of fragrant snow, which was particularly eye-catching and bright in this season when everything was bleak.

Xu Xingchen glanced at the mountain path full of plum blossoms and thought, "This mountain should be the West Lake Plum Manor, right?!"

Pretending to admire the plum blossoms, he rode his donkey up the mountain path and soon arrived in front of a manor. The manor had red doors and white walls and covered a large area. From the few buildings in the courtyard that he occasionally glimpsed from the top of the wall, he could see carved beams and painted buildings, with extraordinary decorations, full of the exquisite beauty of southern gardens.

On the plaque at the door, there are two big characters "Mei Zhuang" inscribed, which are elegant and full of vitality, and next to it are the four characters "Written by Yu Yunwen".

Xu Xingchen has read a lot of Taoist scriptures and has a solid cultural foundation, but he has very little knowledge of poetry and songs.

He vaguely remembered that Yu Yunwen should be a famous figure in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he could not find any more information in his mind.

Xu Xingchen's arrival did not alarm the owner of the manor. It can even be said that the owner of the manor did not even know of his arrival.

He had no intention of disturbing the owner of the manor, so he turned around and walked down the mountain along the path.

On the way back, he recalled all the memories about Meizhuang.

There are four owners in Mei Manor, each of whom is interested in painting, calligraphy, Go, and guqin. Each of them has profound skills and extraordinary martial arts.

They were sent by Dongfang Bubai to guard Ren Woxing and lived in seclusion. No one in the world had heard of their names. However, few people knew that more than ten years ago, they were all masters in the martial arts world.

"Among these four owners, I remember one of them had a swordsmanship that was as fast as lightning. I think his nickname was Lightning Sword?"

"Oh, that's not right! That's not right. The name Lightning Sword has nothing to do with painting, calligraphy, Go, and Guqin."

"Strange, strange, where did the memory of the lightning sword come from?"

Xu Xingchen felt that his memories were a little confused, so he simply ignored them and began to think about how to deal with the four manor owners.

The four owners of the manor, known as the Four Friends of Jiangnan, are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They spend the whole day immersed in their respective arts and never get tired of it.

These four people are not well-known in the Sun and Moon Sect and are indifferent to fame and fortune, so it is not easy to kill them all.

But it is probably impossible to persuade the four people to hand over the keys and let Woxing out. They dare not disobey Dongfang Bubai's orders.

Xu Xingchen remembered that Xiang Wentian used various rare treasures of calligraphy, painting and music as bait to set a trap and let them sink gradually. Only then did he let Linghu Chong into the underground cell, giving Ren Woxing a chance to escape.

He didn't have those things on him, and he didn't know where to find them.

All the way from Sichuan to Hangzhou, he had been thinking about this problem, but he could not come up with a solution.

After returning to the room of the Hangzhou Inn, he sat at the table for a while. Seeing the light outside gradually dimming, he sighed helplessly and muttered: "At present, the situation in the martial arts world is a bit tense. I need to get out of here as soon as possible. I can't care about too much."

That evening, he left his black donkey in the stable of the inn, and left the city alone, carrying his sword and luggage.

After walking a few miles along the official road and seeing that there was no one around, he flew into the nearby woods and quickly ran towards Meishan.

When we arrived at the foot of Meishan Mountain, it was already completely dark.

A bright moon hangs obliquely on the branches, casting bright light.

Xu Xingchen opened his bag, took out some things from it, and started sticking them on his face.

After a while, he turned into a rough man with a black face and beard. He put on a nightgown and stuffed some cloth inside the shoulders, waist and ribs of the nightgown to make his body look a lot more muscular.

“You still have to wear this mask!”

He picked up a featureless wooden mask and put it on his face.

Xu Xingchen packed up the replaced items and hid them on the branch of a big tree. Then he followed the mountain path and went up Meishan.
