Chapter 159 Goodbye Tietou
Today's Soul-Breaking Cliff was filled with twists and turns. It far exceeded everyone's expectations. What was originally expected to be a duel between the Sword Emperor and the Dragon King turned into a battle between five Grandmasters. The thirty-year reign of number one on the Heavenly Ranking ended, and a new number one emerged.

Ye Jinglan, the Sword Emperor, will no longer be just a Qingzhou Grandmaster from today onwards, but a first-tier Grandmaster who will be famous throughout the entire Qian Kingdom, and one of the ten strongest Grandmasters.

At this moment, there was a commotion on Jiangxin Island.

The disciples of Xuannv Palace were extremely sad, and some even knelt down and cried bitterly.

Lin Qixia brought several disciples of Xuannv Palace to climb up the Cliff of Broken Souls. At the same time, many people from Tiandao Sect and Jiujiang Alliance also rushed there.

Although Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing emerged victorious, both suffered heavy injuries. Chu Tianqing's chest was pierced by Yan Xianmei's last desperate blow, nearly severing his heart meridians. Ye Jinglan's final duel with Master Dingchan was a pyrrhic victory, leaving him with severe internal injuries. If it weren't for the protection of the Tiandao Sect's masters, any martial arts expert would have been able to kill him.

Saw Lin Qixia and others coming.

Whether it was the Tiandao Sect or the Jiujiang League, those people instantly became alert, and the atmosphere became very depressing.

Lin Qixia's eyes were red as she looked at Ye Jinglan and said calmly, "Master Ye, can I take away the bodies of my master and the palace master?"

Ye Jinglan was sitting on a rock, practicing Qigong to heal his wounds. He slowly opened his eyes, a complex expression in them, and said softly, "Fairy Lin... please help yourself."

"Thank you."

Lin Qixia bowed slightly, then stepped forward and carried Yan Xianmei's body on her back. Xie Liuying, who was traveling with her, carried Su Yunjiao's body on her back, and then left quickly without any regrets.

Ye Jinglan looked at Lin Qixia who didn't even turn her head and sighed slightly. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Chu Tianqing on the side chuckled and said with emotion: "Brother, you are indecisive sometimes too!"

Ye Jinglan sighed: "What can I say?"

"You said I couldn't get over the honey trap, but aren't you the same?" Chu Tianqing said, "Brother, you will never get the love you want in your life. You will always think about it. If you had trusted her a little more, would the ending be different? Hahahaha, cough cough cough..."

Chu Tianqing laughed a few times, his face turned red instantly, and a mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat and he started coughing.

Seeing Chu Tianqing's gloating expression, Ye Jinglan sneered and said, "You laugh at me? At least I'm being straightforward here. I was the one who wronged her in the beginning. Now, whether it's unrequited love or resentment, it's all clear and obvious.

But what about you? How will you face Zhuo Fanghua? It's been a scam from beginning to end, Junior Brother. Her care and affection for you were all fake, all an act. Seven years of sleeping together, but dreaming different dreams. But she is your wife after all, that's a fact, and she even gave birth to your child. Are you laughing at me? Hahahaha... you're laughing at me..."

Chu Tianqing's expression turned gloomy.

……

At this moment, in the canyon, on the big ship of Jiujiang League.

Qi Miaoxuan was rescuing Nangong Yuexi, who was in a state of suspended animation, and Zhuo Fanghua, who had also been in a state of suspended animation in the cabin.

The two generations of the most beautiful women in Qingzhou are very eye-catching wherever they are. One is the wife of Jiujiang Dragon King Chu Tianqing, and the other is the wife of Sword Emperor Ye Jinglan. Both are the most popular pearls in the world.

At this moment, the two looked at each other in silence.

Qi Miaoxuan slowly put the silver needle back into the medicine bag and said, "You two, although you were in a state of suspended animation before, you should be aware of what happened outside.

Let's go. Staying here any longer will only embarrass Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing. They haven't made any moves yet because they just don't want to face you."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

The two men bowed to Qi Miaoxuan.

Qi Miaoxuan waved his hand, walked out of the cabin, jumped towards the cliff of Broken Souls, and slowly climbed up the steep path under the cliff. On the way, he met Lin Qixia and others who were carrying the corpse down.

Seeing Yan Xianmei's body on Lin Qixia's back, Qi Miaoxuan sighed deeply.

He was quite conflicted. He hated Yan Xianmei. Yan Xianmei forced him to do many things against his will and even killed his entire family. He hated her very much and wanted Yan Xianmei dead.

However, he knew clearly that Master Dingchan was here to save Yan Xianmei, and he knew that if he allowed Master Dingchan to save Yan Xianmei in a confused state of mind, he would definitely fail, but he still helped Master Dingchan to untie the knot in his heart.

He said it was for Master Dingchan, in order to prevent Master Dingchan from dying,
But, he knew clearly,
At that moment, he actually hoped that Master Dingchan could save Yan Xianmei.

"Fifth sister!"

Qi Miaoxuan called out softly and said to Lin Qixia, "Arrange a boat to pick up Nangong Yuexi and Zhuo Fanghua. Whether they retire from the martial arts world or return to their respective families in the future, let them leave with dignity today!"

"I understand, uncle-master." Lin Qixia said.

Afterwards, Qi Miaoxuan went up the mountain to claim Master Dingchan's body.

Lin Qixia continued to carry the corpse down the mountain. When she reached the bottom of the cliff, the boat of Xuannv Palace was already waiting there.

Afterwards, Lin Qixia ordered the boat to approach the Jiujiang League ship.

Zhuo Fanghua and Nangong Yuexi came onto the boat.

Seeing Nangong Yuexi coming towards her, Lin Qixia felt conflicted. She had previously hated Nangong Yuexi, thinking she was a bitch who had taken everything from her. But today, she realized that she hadn't taken everything from her, but had actually taken on all the pressure for her, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Xuannv Palace's rise and fall.

"Sister."

Nangong Yuexi bowed to Lin Qixia as usual, but this time, Nangong Yuexi was in a very low mood, with a pale and weak face.

"I'm sorry, senior sister. I've made you suffer so much in the past two years, but in the end, I still couldn't do my job well." Nangong Yuexi's voice was a little choked.

Lin Qixia sighed deeply and said, "Junior sister, you are too perfect. I have always been jealous of you."

Nangong Yuexi shook her head slightly and said, "But, Senior Sister, I have always been jealous of you!"

……

There was a lot of noise on the island in the middle of the river.

Martial artists from all walks of life began to leave the scene, all actively discussing today's twists and turns. It can be predicted that what happened at the Cliff of Broken Souls today will spread far and wide, and will be a day that will be mentioned repeatedly in the martial arts world for a long, long time.

Gu Mo also retreated with the crowd and returned to Qingzhou City with Zhuo Qingfeng and Chen Yunqiao.

Early the next morning,
As soon as Gu Mo got up and washed up, Gu Chudong ran to his room and shouted, "Brother, Senior Qi Miaoxuan and Fairy Lin are here. They are waiting to see you downstairs."

Gu Mo opened the door and followed Gu Chudong downstairs.

At this moment, the inn was deserted, with only three or two guests scattered around. At the door of the inn, a large group of disciples from the Xuannv Palace were lined up in an orderly manner. They were dressed in plain white linen clothes, and the hemp ropes tied around their waists swayed slightly in the wind. Everyone's face was filled with sadness.

Three carriages carried three pitch-black coffins, which were covered with dark silk and embroidered with white chrysanthemums. Soul-calling banners were hoisted high, and the slender strips danced wildly in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Qi Miaoxuan and Lin Qixia were both standing outside the inn wearing white mourning clothes. There was another person next to Qi Miaoxuan, who was Qi Miaoxuan's apprentice Wu An.

"Senior Qi, Fairy Lin." Gu Mo bowed.

The two of them quickly performed the ceremony, and Lin Qixia stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master Gu, I will be escorting the bodies of our Grandmaster and the Palace Master back to Xuannv Palace today, and I have come to bid you farewell."

Gu Mo bowed and said, "Have a safe trip."

Lin Qixia bowed and said, "Hero Gu, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. If you need me in the future, please send someone to Xuannv Palace to let me know. No matter how far away it is, I will come without delay." Gu Mo bowed and said, "Fairy Lin, you are so polite."

At this time, Qi Miaoxuan took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Gu Mo, saying, "Master Gu, I came here today for three things. The first is to hand over this ancient Buddha relic to you on behalf of my third brother."

Gu Mo sensed the relic in Qi Miaoxuan's hand and asked, "Master, did you give any instructions?"

Qi Miaoxuan said, "No, they only said that it can suppress the evil nature of the demon sword. There is nothing much to explain. I am also familiar with the Gou Chen Demon Sword. Now that Nangong Qun has integrated the Ice Soul and the Demon Sword's Demon Fire to achieve the state of yin and yang harmony, and with this ancient Buddha's relic to suppress the evil nature, there will be no problem.

This ancient Buddha relic is a rare treasure. It's unique to the Great Guangming Temple, the ancestral home of Buddhism. There are probably fewer than ten of them circulating in the world. Wearing it can help you calm your mind and spirit, prevent inner demons from developing during practice, and even increase your cultivation speed. It's a great item."

Gu Mo took the relic and said, "Thank you very much."

Qi Miaoxuan waved his hand and said, "Why are you thanking me? It wasn't me who gave it to you. Well, the second thing is about treating your eyes. Wu An has already told me about your eye condition. I can treat it, but it will take a long time. And now I have to go home to attend the funeral of my third brother and fifth sister. So, I came to inform you that I'm afraid you will have to wait for me here for a while."

Gu Mo bowed and said, "Of course, no problem. I'll wait here for Senior Qi. However, where should I send the consultation fee Senior Qi needs? It would be quite troublesome to transport ten thousand silver ingots of one tael each. I need to make preparations in advance."

Qi Miaoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't take it seriously, Hero Gu. The three rules of my medical practice that are widely circulated in the martial arts world are actually just something I deliberately said to make things difficult for people so that I can refuse to treat those I don't want to treat.

I want the consultation fee. The ten thousand taels of silver and the rare treasures are real, but there's really no need to convert them all into one tael of silver ingot. As for the third point, the so-called friend I acknowledge, it's even more straightforward. It's purely for the purpose of rejection. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Gu."

Gu Chudong quickly asked, "So, can I give you the things now? The banknotes and rare treasures are all ready!"

Qi Miaoxuan shook his head slightly and said, "I'll give it to you after I return from the funeral!" After that, Qi Miaoxuan patted the shoulder of his timid disciple Wu An and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Wu An staggered after being slapped by Qi Miaoxuan. He quickly took two steps forward and knelt in front of Gu Mo with a plop.

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "Senior Qi, what are you doing?"

Qi Miaoxuan sighed and said, "When Tingsongshan Villa was exterminated, this kid was clever and managed to hide in a cesspool and survive, but he was eventually caught by my fifth sister.

This guy was afraid of death, so he agreed to cooperate with my fifth sister to frame Ye Jinglan for the massacre of the Tingsong Villa. On the surface, my fifth sister pretended to cover up for Ye Jinglan, but secretly instructed this guy to send a message to you to frame Ye Jinglan.

After saying that, Qi Miaoxuan kicked Wu An and scolded him, "Why don't you apologize to Hero Gu?"

Wu An quickly said, "I'm sorry, Master Gu. I was afraid of death and took advantage of you!"

Gu Mo smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, and lifted Wu An up with an inner force, saying: "It's just human nature. Besides, Doctor Wu is controlled by others, and it doesn't harm me in any way. Let's stop here!"

Wu An quickly said, "Thank you, Master Gu, for putting aside our past grudges!"

Gu Mo waved his hand.

Qi Miaoxuan bowed and said, "Master Gu, it's too hot today to store the body, so we won't stay any longer. Goodbye!"

Gu Mo bowed and said, "Have a safe trip."

The group turned and left. After only a few steps, Qi Miaoxuan suddenly turned around and walked back, saying, "By the way, Hero Gu, there's one more thing I want to remind you of. The person behind the white shadow you killed in Mangshan wasn't my fifth sister, but someone else. I don't know who it is, but they definitely have plans for the Gouchen Blade. Please be careful."

Gu Mo was a little surprised. Because of what Master Dingchan said before and the truth about the Cliff of Broken Souls revealed yesterday, Gu Mo had already determined that Bai Ying was instructed by Yan Xianmei.

Sensing Gu Mo's doubts, Lin Qixia hurriedly said, "Master Gu, my appearance at Zhengqi Villa was purely coincidental. I was ordered to investigate the Golden Blade Sect, the Changmei Sword Sect, and the Chen family's extermination incident, which led me all the way to Zhengqi Villa. Before that, I had no idea about the Gou Chen Demon Blade."

Gu Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention."

immediately,

Qi Miaoxuan, Lin Qixia and a group of Xuannv Palace disciples set off on their journey.

……

evening.

Gu Mo was instructing Gu Chudong in sword practice in the backyard of the inn.

Now Gu Mo has planned the direction of Gu Chudong's training for her. Naturally, her main internal skills are Mingyu Gong, and her external skills are Dugu Nine Swords and the improved version of Xuanxu Swordsmanship.

"Brother, this ancient Buddha relic is truly amazing." Gu Chudong said in surprise, "I don't know why, but whenever I wear this relic, I can easily concentrate and enter a state of ecstasy when I practice."

When people in the martial arts world practice cultivation, they all attach great importance to understanding.

Therefore, comprehension is a person's ability to comprehend, and the most intuitive manifestation of this ability in cultivation is that it is easy to enter a state, stick to one's original heart, and enter a state of cultivation to enhance understanding.

Although rare in the world, treasures that can change a person's constitution are often heard of, and treasures that can improve one's understanding are really rare.

Gu Mo felt a little emotional. He still underestimated the value of the ancient Buddha's relics.

He had always known that the ancient Buddha relic was extremely valuable, a secret that remained untold within the Da Guangming Temple, the ancestral home of Buddhism, located in the state of Chu. As for Master Dingchan's Guangming Temple, the name suggested it was a direct descendant of the Da Guangming Temple, and this ancient Buddha relic must be Guangming Temple's most precious treasure.

Gu Chudong asked, "Brother, you said that Master Dingchan must give you the ancient Buddha's relic. Besides being worried about the evil nature of the Gou Chen Demon Blade, is it because he also wants to establish a close relationship with you and hopes that you can protect Guangming Temple?"

"They probably have some thoughts in this regard," Gu Mo said. "For a long time, Guangming Temple has publicly possessed a top-level Grandmaster, but it has always been a Buddhist temple that has lived aloof from worldly affairs. Now that Master Dingchan has passed away, it's inevitable that some people will know that Guangming Temple has ancient Buddha relics and have evil intentions."

Gu Chudong nodded and said, "So, giving the relic to you can not only suppress the evil nature of the demon sword, but also let the people of Jianghu know that Guangming Temple has a close relationship with you. Then why didn't he give it to other masters in Qingzhou?"

"Maybe it's... word of mouth!"

Gu Mo pondered this for a long time, and ultimately came up with only two explanations. One was that Master Dingchan believed his reputation as a man of unwavering righteousness and a fierce hatred of evil. The other was that Master Dingchan also believed he had a chance to compete for the top spot in the world.

"Before leaving Qingzhou, let's go to Guangming Temple and burn some incense!"

Although there was no transaction with Master Dingchan, Gu Mo was still very grateful. It would be okay for him to go to Guangming Temple and support it.

"bang bang bang"

At the backyard door, the waiter knocked gently on the pillar and called out, "Master Gu, Miss Gu, there's a man outside who claims to be your friend. His surname is Tie, and his name is Tietou. He wants to see you two."

Gu Chudong was slightly stunned and said, "Iron Head? Brother, it's the big, stupid guy from Zhengqi Villa."

Gu Mo naturally remembered Tietou. He was deeply impressed, not only because that man pretended to be a fool and deceived them all, but mainly because Tietou claimed to be only twelve years old.

"Didn't he run away before? Why did he come here again?" Gu Chudong asked puzzledly.

"You'll know once you meet him."

Immediately,

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong came to the lobby of the inn.

As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Chudong saw Tietou, because Tietou was so recognizable and as big as a small mountain.

Suddenly, Gu Chudong noticed that Tietou's right palm was missing and asked in confusion, "What happened to your hand?"
