Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 154 Huang Xuemei Enters the Netherworld! [Second Update, Please Subscribe]

In the courtyard of the inn, Qiu Moyan and his junior sister Yang Huizhen stood side by side, one in black and one in white, each with their own unique charm and elegance.

The two of them also participated in the battle when Jiang Xuan eliminated the masters of the Songshan Sect. They eliminated several masters of Songshan and then received various divine skills from Jiang Xuan. Recently, they have made great progress and both of them have reached the perfect level of the Innate Realm.

The distance between being a grandmaster and a master is just a hair's breadth.

Afterwards, the two left the pass and went south on business to investigate the reason why a 'Netherworld' stronghold was destroyed, but they did not expect that it was done by 'Six-Finger Qin Demon' Huang Xuemei.

In fact, they suffered an undeserved disaster.

Lu Tengkong of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency accepted Huang Xuemei's escort mission to the residence of Han Xun, a famous family in Suzhou. Later, it was discovered that the escort was the Heavenly Demon Harp, and the harp was stolen at an inn on the way.

Coincidentally, that inn was a stronghold of the 'Netherworld'. Affected by the battle between the two sides, the innkeeper and the waiter were all killed and lost contact.

Upon learning of this, Qiu and Yang set off to investigate. They happened to encounter Huang Xuemei being besieged by the Ghost Palace Master 'Ghost Saint' and the Blazing Fire Palace Master 'Blazing Fire Ancestor', thus becoming involved in the turmoil.

In the end, the three retreated, and the two women learned from Huang Xuemei that the stronghold had suffered an undeserved disaster, being killed by the group of martial arts thieves who robbed the caravan. They also learned about Huang Xuemei's background and the reason for her revenge.

Qiu Moyan and Huang Xuemei hit it off immediately, and seeing her extraordinary martial arts skills, Qiu Moyan decided not to pursue the matter further, but instead planned to absorb her into the 'Netherworld'.

After some consideration, Huang Xuemei agreed.

Since she was already ostracized by the righteous sects of the martial arts world, she might as well go into hiding and become a 'ghost' in the dark, so that she could better avenge her parents.

Moreover, she had heard of the name 'Youming' before. It was an extremely mysterious assassin organization that destroyed 'Wenjiabao,' a top-tier power in Jiangnan, last year.

So, persuaded by Qiu and Yang, she came with them and took the opportunity to visit the mysterious palace master of 'Netherworld', 'Emperor of the Underworld'. If he agreed to let her join, the people of 'Netherworld' could help her take revenge, which would naturally give her a greater chance of winning than fighting alone.

At this moment, Huang Xuemei, dressed in a dark blue dress, with an extraordinary demeanor and a resemblance to Qiu Moyan, stood quietly beside Qiu and Yang, holding a dark red box in her arms, waiting for the mysterious 'Underworld Emperor' to arrive.

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

Huang Xuemei looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The newcomer was tall and handsome, and judging from his appearance, he was a young man in his early twenties.

Could this person be the Lord of the Netherworld Palace?
The next moment, Qiu and Yang's behavior confirmed her guess.

The two women stepped forward to greet him, and then introduced Huang Xuemei's background to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's gaze also swept over Huang Xuemei. After listening to the two women's story, he frowned slightly. It turned out that it was related to the elimination of a branch base.
It's truly a case of coincidences.

The more he tried to avoid getting involved in the conflicts of the martial arts world, the more those conflicts came knocking on his door.

But Qiu and Yang have already brought everyone here, so what can he say?
We have to give them this much face, after all.

Moreover, Huang Xuemei's strength was indeed quite good. After a brief sensing, Jiang Xuan was surprised to find that this woman's realm was actually above his own, almost reaching the seventh or eighth grade of Grandmaster.

Judging from her age, this woman wasn't much older than him, probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her cultivation aptitude was truly remarkable.

"Your situation is very troublesome."

After listening to the two women's stories, Jiang Xuan looked at Huang Xuemei and said bluntly, "Emei, Diancang, Ghost Palace, Liehuo Palace and other sects are all first-class forces. Nowadays, top forces such as Tianying Sect and Jinqian Gang have also intervened one after another. There may be grandmaster-level masters among them. If you want to take revenge, your chances are not high."

"I understand, but I will avenge my parents no matter what, even if it means being shattered to pieces."

Huang Xuemei spoke softly, then bit her lip slightly, leaned forward, and said, "If the Palace Master can help Xuemei take revenge, Xuemei is willing to serve 'Netherworld' for the rest of her life and will never regret it!"

She wasn't stupid. After learning that so many sects were involved, she knew that her chances of getting revenge were slim.

Even if she manages to get revenge, she will never be able to escape the pursuit of those martial arts practitioners who covet the Heavenly Demon Harp.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end in the end.

Therefore, finding an organization that can take her in and protect her is her only chance right now.

She couldn't see through Jiang Xuan's aura, but she could sense that he was very dangerous.

Therefore, she did not look down on Jiang Xuan because of his youthful appearance. Since she was there, she clearly understood her place.

But Jiang Xuan did not respond.

He was still deep in thought; to be honest, he really didn't want to deal with the matter.

If the imperial court were to intervene and help Huang Xuemei resolve this problem, it certainly wouldn't be a big issue.

However, the imperial court must have a legitimate reason to intervene in matters of the martial arts world.

Therefore, he could only help her by using the identity of 'Youming'.

However, given 'Youming's' current strength, dealing with so many sects at the same time is still very risky.

“Young Master…” Yang Huizhen gently tugged at his sleeve.

Qiu Moyan also bit her lip and looked at him, her meaning self-evident; she clearly wanted to help Huang Xuemei.

Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly, pondered for a moment, looked at Huang Xuemei, and said, "It's unrealistic for you to want to destroy the six major sects. At most, I can only help you deal with the few culprits who killed your parents back then."

Qiu and Yang, the two women, looked slightly pleased.

Huang Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "I understand what the Palace Master means. I also know that it's unrealistic to destroy the six major sects, but I must kill those who killed my parents back then!"

Jiang Xuan nodded; this girl was quite sensible. "Tell me, who are your enemies?" Jiang Xuan asked. Although he knew the plot of 'The Six-Fingered Qin Demon,' he had to find out what happened sixteen years ago since he was in a different world.

If the enemy is too strong, then we must proceed slowly and methodically.

However, after Huang Xuemei's explanation, his doubts were quickly dispelled.

Sixteen years ago, only six major sects, including Emei and Diancang, participated in the siege of Huang Xuemei's family.

But these people were actually only after the Heavenly Demon Harp.

The culprit is Dongfang Bai, known as the "Jade-Faced Gentleman." He is both righteous and evil, and was once a member of the Tianlong Sect. He and Huang Xuemei's father, Huang Dong, were from the same sect.

Because the former leader of the Tianlong Sect passed on the leadership position and the Tianlong Sect's most precious treasures, the Heavenly Demon Harp and the Tianlong Eight Sounds Technique, to Huang Dong, Huang Dong became dissatisfied, betrayed the Tianlong Sect, and spread rumors about the Heavenly Demon Harp in the martial arts world, portraying Huang Dong as a cruel and bloodthirsty demon.

Of course, before Huang Dong retired from the martial arts world, he was indeed ruthless. In order to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds and revitalize the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he went around challenging people. Countless martial arts masters died under his Heavenly Demon Zither, so he made many enemies.

With Dongfang Bai stirring things up, Huang Dong's former enemies were naturally happy to see this happen, and even secretly helped to spread the word. The name "Six-Finger Qin Demon" became more and more famous, attracting the attention of most of the martial arts world.

Ultimately, the Tianlong Sect was besieged and destroyed by various sects. Huang Dong also realized his mistake and led his wife and children to leave the martial world to avoid disaster.

But one cannot simply withdraw from the world of martial arts.

After the Tianlong Sect was destroyed, the various sects of the martial arts world did not give up the search for the Heavenly Demon Harp, and Huang Dong's secluded whereabouts were discovered.

In the final battle, led by "Jade-Faced Gentleman" Dongfang Bai, along with "Seven Fiends God" Tan Sheng, "Poisonous Hand Rakshasa" He Qinghua, Diancang Sect Leader Han Xun, Emei Elder "Dugu Yihe", Ghost Palace Master Ghost Saint, and Blazing Fire Palace Master Blazing Fire Ancestor, they found Huang Dong's secluded place and joined forces to kill Huang Dong and his wife.

On his deathbed, Huang Dong handed over the Heavenly Demon Harp and the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to Huang Xuemei, to hold off the enemy and buy her time to escape.

Huang Xuemei accidentally fell off a cliff, but luckily survived. She practiced the Tianlong Bayin martial arts diligently in the deep mountains. Sixteen years later, she mastered the skills and finally came out of the mountains to avenge her parents.

After listening to Huang Xuemei's explanation, Jiang Xuan felt relieved.

The plot is not much different from the original drama. The only unexpected thing is the addition of Dugu Yihe.

This person was originally Ping Duhe, a former official of the Great Golden Roc Kingdom. He came to the Central Plains with Huo Xiu, Shangguan Mu, and Yan Tieshan, but eventually the four parted ways.

By chance, Ping Duhe saved Gu Hongzi, the senior brother of Abbess Miejue, the current leader of the Emei Sect. He became sworn brothers with her and joined the Emei Sect, becoming one of the elders of the sect. He changed his name to Dugu Yihe.

This person's martial arts skills are probably no less than Huo Xiu's, so we need to be wary of him.

The others, such as "Jade-Faced God" Dongfang Bai and "Seven Fiends God" Tan Sheng, had impressive titles, but they were nothing but worthless cowards. Huang Xuemei in the original series was able to eliminate them, so Jiang Xuan would not take them seriously at all.

However, the plot has changed. Top forces such as the Money Gang, Divine Sword Manor, and Sky Eagle Sect have all become involved in this matter, and even the Heavenly Venerable's people have gotten involved, so we must be wary.

Especially Shangguan Jin Hong of the Money Gang and Yin Tianzheng, the "White-browed Eagle King" of the Eagle Sect, are both renowned grandmasters. If these two are willing to personally take action to seize the Heavenly Demon Harp, it will be quite difficult to protect Huang Xuemei.

"Let's get rid of Dongfang Bai and the others first!"

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Xuan let out a long breath, looked at Huang Xuemei, and said, "You follow the original plan, first confuse the major sects and make them suspicious of each other, then you take action according to the plan. I will bring people to help you in secret."

"Yes, thank you, Palace Master!" Huang Xuemei's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly cupped her hands in thanks.

"In addition, there is one more thing..."

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lu Lin, the adopted son of Lu Tengkong from the Flying Tiger Escort Agency whom you entrusted with the shipment, should be your younger brother."

The Huang Xuemei before us should be the 'Six-Fingered Qin Demon' from the movie version. Then Lü Lin is probably Huang Xuemei's younger brother. He also survived back then and was saved by the late Master Lü, who then gave him to Lü Tengkong as his adopted son.

"What? My brother isn't dead?!" Huang Xuemei was extremely excited. Although she didn't understand how Jiang Xuan knew, she didn't think too much about it. After thanking him, she immediately rushed to Suzhou to verify the matter.

If Lü Lin really is her brother, then he might be in danger right now.

"You two, don't cause me any more trouble in the future!" Jiang Xuan looked back at Qiu Yang and the other woman, somewhat helpless, as he watched Huang Xuemei leave.

I was planning to return to Beijing, but now I'll have to wait a while longer.

"I'm sorry, young master..." Yang Huizhen lowered her head to admit her mistake, and Qiu Moyan also dared not look Jiang Xuan in the eye.

They were wrong to take on this task without Jiang Xuan's consent.

"Alright, inform Yan Shisan and the others to come with me."

Jiang Xuan shook his head, not wanting to be too harsh on him.

The two women were chivalrous by nature, and they happened to encounter this situation. Moreover, Huang Xuemei's background was so similar to theirs that it was not hard to understand why the two women felt compassion and offered their help.

But now that it has already happened, there's no point in saying more.

Moreover, Huang Xuemei's aptitude and strength are both exceptional, and her joining Youming would be a significant boost.

It's worth the risk to save them.

After instructing the two women to gather the Netherworld forces, Jiang Xuan left and found Lin Pingzhi and the others, instructing them to return to the capital to report ahead.

The Imperial Guards were traveling at a slow pace, while he was traveling light, so even if he went to Suzhou, it shouldn't take too long.

After settling everything in, Jiang Xuan changed into the exclusive attire of 'Youming', transformed himself, and led his men south to Suzhou.
