Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 135 Zhengqi Villa
Gu Mo and Gu Chudong have never known much about the affairs of the martial arts world, and their knowledge is basically limited to the territory of Yunzhou. However, even so, they are still familiar with the names of Jiujiang Dragon King Chu Tianqing and Sword Emperor Ye Jinglan, because in recent years, the reputation of these two people is really too great. It can be said that looking at the entire Qian Kingdom, the reputation of these two people in recent years can be ranked among the top.

The most important thing is that these two are still very young, both in their thirties, but they are already well-known masters, and they are masters with top-level combat power.

However, what the world talks about most about these two people is their past love-hate relationship.

These two are brothers from the same school.

They all learned from He Qizhen, a top master in Qingzhou at that time, who was known as the Iron-Handed Judge in the martial arts world.

Ten years ago, He Qizheng passed away.
Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing went down the mountain to venture into the world, and soon they became famous. In just two or three years, they made a great name for themselves and established their own power.

However, seven years ago,

The two broke up because of a woman.

It was Zhuo Fanghua, the most beautiful woman of the previous generation in Qingzhou. Both of them fell in love with Zhuo Fanghua at first sight and began to pursue her.

In the end, Zhuo Fanghua chose Chu Tianqing.

Ye Jinglan made a big scene at their wedding. Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan also had a big fight that day, but there was no clear winner. However, they broke up from then on, and the gang they jointly created also split.

Afterwards, Chu Tianqing led his people to Jiangzuo to establish the Jiujiang League. Under his leadership, the Jiujiang League almost unified half of Qingzhou in just a few years.

The reason why it is half is because the Jiangyou area belongs to another force, the Tiandao Sect.

The Tiandao Sect was founded by Ye Jinglan, who broke with Chu Tianqing and left with his men.

Unlike Chu Tianqing who made friends and established a martial arts alliance, Ye Jinglan had a very domineering personality. He brought his men to the Jiangyou area and, with the help of a knife, forcibly subdued a large number of local underworld forces and quickly created a force called Tiandaomen.

Afterwards, he carried out his tyranny to the end and issued the Tiandao Order. Those who surrendered could join the Tiandao Sect, and those who refused to obey could either leave voluntarily and hand over their territory, or Ye Jinglan would come to challenge him.

However, although Ye Jinglan acted in a domineering manner, he was not like the demonic sect who would destroy an entire clan at will. He would always go to the gate and cause chaos. If the challenge was not accepted, then his disciples of the Tiandao Sect would also be very domineering, rushing into the mountain gate and smashing things up.

Therefore, under this model,

The Tiandao Sect expanded very rapidly and conquered the Jiangyou area of ​​Qingzhou in just a few years.

Then,
The Qingzhou underworld can almost be said to be divided into two.
Chu Tianqing, the Dragon King of Jiujiang in Jiangzuo, and Ye Jinglan, the Sword King in Jiangyou.

Two equally powerful masters from the same era, the whole world is looking forward to the showdown between the two.

In fact, the two were destined to fight sooner or later, because both the Jiujiang League and the Tiandao Sect had developed to a limit and it was impossible not to expand outward.

Moreover, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

It is impossible for Qingzhou to accommodate two equally powerful forces, Tiandao Sect and Jiujiang League, at the same time.

……

"When did this happen?" Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "We haven't heard about the final battle between these two people?"

Sang Tugong said: "I just received the news this morning. This incident happened only a few days ago and is only now spreading. It happened only five days ago. It is said that a fleet of the Jiujiang League clashed with the Tiandao Sect when passing through the Jiangyou area.

This kind of thing was quite common. Over the past two years, friction between the Tiandao Sect and the Jiujiang League had been constant, and Ye Jinglan, with his domineering personality, had been constantly pressuring the Jiujiang League. However, Chu Tianqing, whether still cherishing their former brotherhood or for some other reason, had been tolerant, and as a result, there had been no major conflict between the Tiandao Sect and the Jiujiang League.

But this time it was different. In the fleet where the conflict occurred, there was Zhuo Fanghua who was returning to his hometown to visit relatives. Ye Jinglan turned love into hate and actually killed Zhuo Fanghua.

Ye Jinglan's action indeed touched Chu Tianqing's reverse scale. Chu Tianqing directly issued a challenge to Ye Jinglan, and Ye Jinglan also accepted the challenge. They agreed to have a life-and-death battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls.

It's a pity that I'm seriously injured and can't go. Otherwise, I would definitely go and join in the fun. It's a battle between the Sword Emperor and the Dragon King, a battle between absolute masters, so rare. This battle is not just about the two of them, but also affects the entire Qingzhou martial arts world."

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "I'll go and experience this fate." Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he could feel and hear it, just like when he felt Qi Tianshu's sword intent at Nanting Villa.

……

The next morning, Sang Tugong found a suitable guide for Gu Mo. The guide was a member of the Rongwei Escort Agency in Qingzhou City. The leader was a leader of the Rongwei Escort Agency named Liu Feiyang, who was well-known in the martial arts world for his chivalry and upright character. He was also about to return to Qingzhou City.

After learning that they were to lead the way for Gu Mo, Liu Feiyang immediately followed the disciples of Canglan Sword Sect to pay a visit to Gu Mo, with a very humble and respectful attitude.

After a brief exchange with Liu Feiyang, Gu Mo set off.

There are a total of four people in Rongwei Escort Agency. In addition to the escort leader Liu Feiyang, there is also an escort master and two porters. They all travel light. Gu Mo and Gu Chudong also travel light, so they can move very flexibly.

Starting from Cangshan Town, Liu Feiyang, relying on his familiarity with Qingzhou, developed two or three plans to deal with any unexpected events along the way. Along the way, Liu Feiyang, having been a frequent escort, had a good knowledge of many inns and post stations where he could rest.

Although this trip spanned more than a thousand miles, with Liu Feiyang leading the way, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong did not suffer any loss.

With the encouragement of Gu Mo, the hero of Yunzhou, Liu Feiyang specifically chose shortcuts and selected some routes that he would not dare to take on normal escort missions. His speed was also very fast. In just four or five days, he had reached the territory of Qingzhou City.

However, they did encounter some robbers along the way, but Gu Mo didn't have to take any action, as Gu Chudong dealt with them.

That evening, the sky suddenly darkened.

The group reached a large mountain called Mangshan. Seeing that it was about to rain, Liu Feiyang bowed to Gu Mo and said, "Master Gu, there is an abandoned villa in the mountains ahead. I passed by it once two years ago and stayed there for a night. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, it is still well-preserved and can be used for rest."

Liu Feiyang arranged everything along the way, so Gu Mo naturally had no other opinions and agreed immediately.

Sure enough, not long after,
A few people saw an abandoned villa on the hillside. However, it was surrounded by thorns, and the ruins were dim in the twilight. Although it had been eroded by wind and rain, the towering gate walls and the wide courtyard layout still showed the grandeur of the past.

When we arrived at the gate, we saw a stone tablet more than ten feet high with four large characters written in a flamboyant style - Zhengqi Villa.

Liu Feiyang said, "More than forty years ago, this Zhengqi Villa was a well-known martial arts force in Qingzhou. However, due to a catastrophe, the entire family was killed overnight. More than 140 people, including babies, were killed.

Rumor has it that Zhengqi Villa has been plagued by resentment ever since, and has been haunted year after year. Initially, some martial artists even considered occupying the villa, but as the hauntings became more frequent, no one dared to come anymore. Gradually, it became deserted and became a charity cemetery, where many bodies of those who died in exile or those left unclaimed in battles would be dumped in the villa.

Gu Chudong asked in confusion, "What kind of catastrophe is this? It's so tragic that it doesn't even spare children?"

Liu Feiyang said: "It is hard to tell what is true and what is false now. It is said that more than forty years ago, a fire Qilin appeared in Qingzhou. The Qilin was as big as an ox, covered in flames, and had a violent temper. Wherever it passed, it destroyed all living things.

At that time, nine martial arts masters of Qingzhou, known as the Nine Righteous Men of Qingzhou, went to siege the Fire Kirin. It's said that they finally slew it at great cost, but it left behind a secret treasure in its aftermath, sparking a bloody storm. It's said that Lu Canyang, the owner of Zhengqi Villa, was the leader of the Nine Righteous Men, and it was his possession of the Kirin's secret treasure that led to the tragic annihilation of his entire family!

Gu Chudong asked in surprise, "Is there really a Qilin?"

Liu Feiyang shook his head and said, "These are all rumors. Those who participated in the suppression of Qilin are no longer with us, so there's no way to verify them. Moreover, after all these years, there's been no news of the two Qilin secret treasures ever appearing in the world. Miss Gu, you know that rumors spread like wildfire and become false as time goes by.

For example, the Netherworld Epiphyllum is now in your hands. I believe it will be very miraculous, but is it really as magical as the rumors say, walking between life and death, and going back and forth between the real and the virtual?"

Gu Chudong was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "What Liu Biaotou said makes sense."

It was no secret that the Netherworld Epiphyllum was now in the hands of Gu Mo and Gu Chudong, at least not for the martial artists who had been in Cangshan Town before. They all knew that Gu Mo had taken the Netherworld Epiphyllum away after killing the evil spirits.

In the hands of ordinary people, this kind of natural treasure would be a disaster, not a blessing, just like the Zhengqi Villa in Liu Feiyang's story. However, in Gu Mo's hands, few in the martial arts world dared to covet it. Those who were not afraid of Gu Mo would not make an enemy of him for a Netherworld Epiphyllum.

Since obtaining the Netherworld Epiphyllum,
Gu Mo and Gu Chudong have also studied it, and it is indeed not as miraculous as the rumors say. It is just a special kind of energy, far from being like the legend says, that one can bring the dead back to life by smelling it, or be immune to all diseases by just looking at it.

While chatting, the group entered the villa.

The courtyard was covered in knee-high weeds, rustling in the wind. The two vermilion doors, already mottled and half-closed, were ablaze with decay. Entering the villa, a stench of decay washed over me. Inside, coffins filled the air, some already rotting. Bones, some intact and some broken, gleamed coldly in the dim light. Some bones still clung to rotten fragments of clothing, creating a truly eerie atmosphere.
