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

Chapter 154 The eve of the decisive battle
Under the stunned and surprised gazes of Gu Mo and the other two, Master Ding Chan slowly spread out his palm, and a relic was in his palm.

The relic exudes a soft and holy luster, its entire body is lustrous, its texture like jade but more translucent than jade, and it seems as if stars are flowing inside. It looks a bit like a large pearl, but its diffused Buddha light makes people feel that this is the legendary relic even if they have never seen it.

Relics, a legendary Buddhist treasure, are said to be the remains of the cremated bodies of enlightened monks. They possess numerous miraculous properties. Wearing them can enhance understanding, speed up cultivation, suppress inner demons, calm the mind, and even heal injuries. They are renowned treasures, priceless.

Gu Mo and the others had not expected that Master Ding Chan would give away such a precious treasure.

Both Zhuo Qingfeng and Gu Chudong were surprised at first, but then became interested. However, Gu Mo waved his hand and said, "Master, no merit, no reward. I cannot accept this relic."

Master Dingchan smiled and said, "If the Gou Chen Demon Sword were to wander the world, it would surely bring disaster to all living things. Hero Gu has done a great deed in suppressing the Demon Sword. How can it be considered a failure?
Furthermore, I also wish to give you this relic. I have seen the evil nature of the demon sword and do not want to see any mistakes. I also want to give you this relic as an additional layer of protection to prevent any accidents. Furthermore, I do have a request."

Gu Mo said slowly: "Master, what do you want?"

Master Dingchan said, "If one day, Yuxu Patriarch Yan Xianmei becomes grudge against you, I sincerely hope you can spare her life."

Gu Mo frowned slightly and said, "Master, you're joking. Senior Yan and I have no grudges against each other, so why would we have to fight to the death? Besides, she is a famous martial artist and a master of her generation. Who am I to talk about sparing her life?"

Master Dingchan shook his head slightly and said, "Yan Xianmei... No one in this world knows her better than me. I am also very familiar with her martial arts. She is definitely not a match for you, Hero Gu.

As for the grudge, well, I'll try to persuade her, but I don't know if I can. Although she's already in her seventies, she still hasn't been able to break free from the shackles of fame, wealth, and power. Even now, she's still very obsessed. She's bound to have some plans for the Gou Chen Sword."

Gu Mo frowned slightly and asked, "Master, how can you be sure?"

Master Dingchan said, "I went to see her a few days ago, and she lied to me. She's been blinded by fame and fortune. The current chaos in Qingzhou is also caused by her. I saw ambition in her eyes. She won't let go of the Gou Chen Blade, a magical weapon that can help her reach even higher."

Before Gu Mo could say anything, Zhuo Qingfeng spoke first, "Master, you just said that the chaos in Qingzhou was caused by Yan Xianmei. Are you referring to the decisive battle between the Dragon King and the Sword Emperor?"

Master Dingchan nodded and said, "Although the Six Gates are behind this matter, she is definitely the one who is in control."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"No," Master Dingchan said, "I know her, so I have some guesses. The events following the appearance of the Gou Chen Demon Blade are all related to her. Bai Ying is hers. I don't have any evidence, but I was certain when I saw her."

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "You said Bai Ying is Yan Xianmei's man? Was Yan Xianmei behind the annihilation of the Golden Blade Sect, the Chen family, and the Long Eyebrow Sword Sect? Why did she do this?"

"I'm not sure." Master Dingchan said, "Perhaps it's for weapons. Tiezhu has been gone for over thirty years, cultivating the Gouchen Demon Blade.

I met him once in the past thirty years. He once told me that he felt guilty about the murder of Duan Changmei, Chen Tong and Wang Dingtao in Zhengqi Villa. Although he did not kill them, it was caused by the Gou Chen Demon Sword he made.

So, in order to make up for it, he forged three weapons: the sword of the Golden Sword Sect, the sword of the Changmei Sword Sect, and the spear of the Chen family. He said that these three weapons would be the strongest weapons he had ever forged in his life except for the Gou Chen Sword.

He was a master weaponsmith, and the last three weapons he painstakingly crafted were bound to be among the world's finest. Yan Xianmei, ambitious and determined to suppress the Jiujiang League and the Heavenly Blade Sect, naturally wouldn't miss out on those three weapons that could strengthen the Xuannv Palace.

Zhuo Qingfeng asked doubtfully, "They say Master Dingchan's compassion is the pride of the martial arts world. Since you knew Yan Xianmei had committed such a murderous act, why didn't you seek justice?"

Master Dingchan shook his head and said, "I am only a monk, not a saint. My so-called compassion for the world is just a name I use to gain fame. In reality, I am just an ordinary person. I cannot be selfless, and I have never let go of my personal feelings. No matter how big her mistakes are, in my eyes, she is still the sister who followed me everywhere, the woman who once asked me to marry her.

Although I don't want to admit it, monks don't lie. Although I have entered the Buddhist monastery, I have never achieved a pure mind. Although I sit in a temple of meditation, I have never let go of the worldly affairs and have never truly entered the Buddhist door.

Zhuo Qingfeng was speechless.

This old monk was not at all pretentious. He directly admitted that he was seeking fame and reputation, and also bluntly stated that he would side with justice and not with relatives. Even if he knew that Yan Xianmei had done something wrong, he would not punish her, but would even clean up the mess for her.

Gu Mo bowed and said, "Master, I understand your actions and thoughts, but I cannot agree to your request. As you said, no matter what Yan Xianmei does, she will always be your adopted sister in your eyes. And I also have a sister and friends. I can't be sure what Yan Xianmei will do to obtain the Gou Chen Demon Blade. If she uses upright means, I can spare her life for your sake. However, if she dares to use treacherous means to attack my sister, I will not only kill her, but I will also slaughter her entire Xuannv Palace, leaving no one alive.

Since you, Master, are determined to protect her, then go and persuade her not to make a mistake. Of course, if she truly can't let go of the Gou Chen Demon Blade, I can accept a fair fight. If she has the ability to defeat me, I will offer her the Gou Chen Demon Blade with both hands."

Master Dingchan nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Gu. I will go and persuade her and will definitely not allow her to use such devious tactics."

"Farewell."

Gu Mo bowed and asked Gu Chudong to leave.

Just as he reached the door, Gu Chudong suddenly turned around and asked, "Master, I have a question."

Master Dingchan said, "Miss Gu, please speak."

Gu Chudong said, "In the story you just told about the Nine Righteous Men of Qingzhou and the Gou Chen Demon Blade, you obtained two Qilin secret treasures: the Qilin Armor and the Qilin Holy Blood. The Qilin Armor was made into the Gou Chen Demon Blade, but what about the Qilin Holy Blood? Where did it go?"

"Oh, yes!" Zhuo Qingfeng also asked, "Master, you never mentioned the Holy Blood of the Qilin!"

Master Dingchan said slowly, "We don't know where the Qilin Holy Blood went. We never figured out what the Holy Blood was used for, and it was always in the hands of our eldest brother, Lu Canyang. Later, after he committed suicide by jumping into the furnace, we lost all leads. We searched Zhengqi Villa but couldn't find the Qilin Holy Blood. And the Lu family was slaughtered by our eldest brother himself, leaving no clues behind. So, the case was left unresolved."

"Oh, I see!" Gu Chudong said with a bow, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Master Dingchan bowed, smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong left the door. Zhuo Qingfeng bowed to Master Dingchan and left as well.

"Brother Gu, that is the ancient Buddha relic from Da Guangming Temple, and you actually refused it." Zhuo Qingfeng felt very sorry.

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "If I take the relic today, then if Yan Xianmei really attacks me or my sister in the future, I won't be able to kill her."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "This is just Master Dingchan's speculation, and it doesn't necessarily mean that these things will really happen. Besides, Master Yuxu is a famous master in the martial arts world. He doesn't seem like the kind of person Master Dingchan is talking about."

"Do you think it was Master Dingchan who was slandering Yan Xianmei?"

"Not really." Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head. "What Master Dingchan said makes sense. After all, the Six Sects of Qingzhou have already eliminated the Xuannv Palace. The next leader of the martial arts world will be chosen between the Jiujiang League and the Tiandao Sect. Yan Xianmei is driving the conflict between the two tigers. She watched the fight from afar and reaped the benefits. This is her and the Xuannv Palace's only chance of turning the tables."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "So, in this case, Ye Jinglan's killing of Zhuo Fanghua and Qi Miaoxuan could have been a plot by the Xuannv Palace, meant to provoke a life-and-death struggle between Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing? This would trigger a deadly battle between the Tiandao Sect and the Jiujiang Alliance, and in the end, the Xuannv Palace would reap the benefits and once again become the leader of the Qingzhou martial arts world."

Zhuo Qingfeng laughed and said, "Not only that, didn't you hear Master Dingchan say that she's also eyeing the Gou Chen Demon Blade? Yan Xianmei's martial arts are not bad, she's ranked fourth on the Qingzhou Heavenly Ranking. But that doesn't necessarily mean she's weaker than the first three. If the Gou Chen Demon Blade falls into her hands, she'll be even more powerful, and she might even be able to challenge the number one on the Heavenly Ranking."

Gu Chudong said, "Master Dingchan, aren't you afraid that we might reveal this to Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan? Or ruin Yan Xianmei's plan?"

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "The battle between Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing is an inevitable trend. The Jianghu and the government are all trying to facilitate this battle. Including the Jiujiang League and the Tiandao Sect, they have already reached the critical point of a decisive battle. Who wouldn't want to facilitate this battle?
Furthermore, Zhuo Fanghua's dying state and Nangong Yuexi's abduction have stirred the emotions of Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing to the extreme. They both know that a battle is inevitable, so at this point, does the truth still matter? Will anyone care?
The day after tomorrow, the battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls will be unstoppable. Also, does the battle between Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing have anything to do with you siblings? Does it have anything to do with me? Even if they’re both killed, it has nothing to do with us. Why would we do something so thankless?

Gu Chudong said unhappily, "That's true, but what really upsets me is that Qi Miaoxuan was killed. The treatment of my brother's eyes has to be postponed again. It's really annoying!"

Zhuo Qingfeng asked, "Then, the day after tomorrow, the decisive battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls, are you guys going to watch the excitement?"

"Of course I want to go."
