Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 298 The Origin of the Golden Finger

Shuiyue Dazong and Li Chimei died three days later at the Ghost King's Mansion.

The garden has been completely restored, and even the giant trees that had collapsed and exposed their roots have been transplanted.

In just three days, the garden was completely transformed.

Of course, during these three days, in addition to repairing the garden, the news of Shuiyue and Li Chimei's deaths also spread throughout the world, driving many martial arts practitioners into a frenzy.

Many people are unfamiliar with Shuiyue Commodities, so I won't go into detail for now.

Keli Chimei's martial arts skills and agility were beyond human comprehension. For sixty years, he roamed the world, acting lawlessly and without restraint.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by the Sword Emperor in the Ghost King's Palace. This news shocked countless people.

As for the three villains, facing Xu Ruowu's earnest attempts to persuade him to stay, Ren Shaoyang considered that Ding An was too badly injured and should not move around too much, so he gladly agreed to stay at the mansion for a while.

Han Bai also stayed behind to learn swordsmanship from Ren Shaoyang.

During this time, he and Xu Yeyue, this pair of bickering lovers, had many interesting experiences. Although they seemed to dislike each other, feelings gradually began to blossom between them.

Ren Shaoyang and Hongxiu were naturally happy to see this happen. Xiao Bai was a kind and righteous boy, and they naturally hoped that he would find a good wife and a good home.

The Ghost King originally couldn't stand this "yellow-haired guy," but with the three villains around, he could only reluctantly watch from the sidelines.

Unexpectedly, after spending these days with him, I found that this young man had an exceptionally strong character, a very likable personality, and was also very perceptive. In addition, Han Bai had cultivated the "Kunlun Thirteen Swords" and had become the de facto "successor of the Sword God," so I gradually put aside my prejudices and began to accept this young man.

Inside the hall, Fan Liangji, puffing on his pipe, said casually, "Old Xu, you really are lucky!"

Xu Ruowu looked at the servants who were counting the treasures and smiled, "Monkey, what do you say?"

"Look!" Fan Liangji puffed on his pipe and pointed to Han Bai and the other man outside the door. "This lad is quite something! With such a fine son-in-law, the Ghost King's Mansion will surely continue its glorious future."

Xu Ruowu took two sips of hot tea and sighed, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; it all depends on future fortune."

Fan Liangji exhaled a puff of smoke, making the room feel like a fairyland. He sneered inwardly and said, "You're just being hypocritical! As the successor of the Sword God Ren, who in the Ghost King's Mansion wouldn't think twice before messing with Han? Who wouldn't be afraid of the sharpness of his divine sword?"

Xu Ruo stroked his short beard, chuckled, and didn't say a word.

Fan Liangji, feeling awkward, turned his head and stared at the treasures with shining eyes, looking on with envy.

"Old Xu, these treasures were national treasures in the Yuan Dynasty back then, and they were related to the dynasty's destiny! The Three Fiends are really something, telling you about them without even blinking an eye!"

"Oh?" Xu Ruowu said with a smile, "Monkey, you have sharp eyes. Tell me?"

Fan Liangji pointed to a black diamond and chuckled, "This gem is called the 'Eye of Eternal Heaven,' a peerless jet-black diamond. Genghis Khan obtained it when he conquered Samarkand. Could it be called a national treasure?"

“Of course!” A sharp glint flashed in Xu Ruowu’s eyes as he laughed, “With this gem, overthrowing the Golden Family would be a piece of cake for me!”

"Ha!" Fan Liangji clapped his hands and laughed. "I believe that. The status of this black diamond within the Golden Family is like our Imperial Seal. Whoever gets it has the 'Mandate of Heaven,' and everyone has to gamble on it. With your wisdom, a little provocation will cause the remnants of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty to bleed to a crisp."

"Do you see that jade plate?" Fan Liangji pointed to a white jade tray and laughed. "This thing was once the national treasure of the Liao Dynasty. After changing hands several times, it fell into the hands of the English. Later, it was seized by Batu during his western expedition and given to Möngke Khan at that time."

"Furthermore, those seven jade Buddhas were a gift from Kublai Khan to Phagpa, and they were inlaid with rare treasures from the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty court."

"The blood coral, pearls, and golden horses were all made from the wealth that the Mongol Yuan dynasty seized from the countries it conquered."

Fan Liangji took one last drag of his cigarette and chuckled, "Looking at these treasures, I can almost hear the blood-soaked wails of the wronged souls above them!"

Xu Ruowu's expression remained calm as he said indifferently, "The Mongol Yuan dynasty defied the mandate of heaven and its reign was short-lived. This treasure left by the Yuan emperor is indeed ominous. Since that is the case, I, Xu, must use the treasure for the people in order to dispel the ominousness and help stabilize the Ming dynasty."

Fan Liangji shrugged and nodded repeatedly: "The three villains gave you the treasure, so they've given it to the right person!" But in his heart he thought: "What talk about national fortune? They talk a good game, but in the end, won't they just be extorted and robbed by those royal relatives?"

He then asked, "Hey, where are Sword Master Ren and Miss Hongxiu?"

Xu Ruowu laughed and said, "They went to the Qinhuai River."

“Hey, young people!” Fan Liangji laughed. “Everyone is intimidated by Ren Jianshen’s prowess, but they’ve forgotten that he’s only a young man in his early twenties.”

Xu Ruowu casually said, "That's the most terrifying thing. Such a young and invincible powerhouse is not only frightening to people in the martial arts world. I bet even Zhu Yuanzhang can't sleep well."

Just as Fan Liangji was about to reply, he suddenly saw a person rushing in from outside the door. It was Jing Cheng Leng. Seeing that Fan Liangji was also there, he stared at him, hesitant.

"You're here!" Xu Ruowu waved and said, "Just say what you need to say, Brother Fan won't tell anyone."

Upon seeing this, Fan Liangji snorted and darted out the door.

Jing Cheng Leng stepped forward quickly, handed over a small bamboo tube, and said, "Master, there is a secret message."

Xu Ruowu unscrewed the bamboo tube, pulled out a note, and after reading it, his expression suddenly turned cold. After a moment of contemplation, he said indifferently, "Who has the Prince of Jin met with recently?"

Jing Cheng coldly replied, "Commander Leng Yan, Li Jinglong, and..."

Xu Ruowu asked indifferently, "Who else?"

Jingcheng coldly replied, "And Fanghua."

“Youthful days…” Xu Ruowu looked incredulous and remained silent for a long time.
-
The bright moonlight shone on the streets and alleys of Jinling, where lights twinkled and dazzled the eye. The Qinhuai River flowed calmly, dotted with many painted boats, from which mournful songs and licentious tunes drifted on the breeze.

At this moment, a small awning boat sails among the painted boats, nestled among these enchanting spots on the river, like a husky among wolves, frolicking and drifting downstream.

As the boat passed through the most bustling streets, the Qinhuai River fell silent. A man in a white robe sat upright at the bow, reaching out to feel the mist from the water as it cleaved the waves. With each gentle breath, a faint scent of perfume floated in the air.

The girl with the ball-shaped hair at the stern looked annoyed and muttered to herself.

Suddenly a hand reached out and smacked Hongxiu on the head with a "thud".

"Ouch!" Hongxiu pulled her hand away from his, raised her eyebrows, and said indignantly, "What are you doing?"

Ren Shaoyang turned around and laughed, "You've cursed me over and over again."

The beggar chuckled, "Crippled man, didn't you want to go to 'Fragrant Drunken Pavilion'? Why didn't you go when we ran into it earlier?"

"It wasn't me, I didn't!" Ren Shaoyang stared straight at the water, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"go away!"

Hongxiu pulled his hand hard, her big eyes narrowing as she looked at his expression: "Hiding means you want it!" Her expression was dangerous. "Crippled man, you can't become a big pervert like the one-handed man and the fat man."

"How could that be?" Ren Shaoyang looked down at her. "I practice Buddhism!"

Hongxiu then let go, smiling as she watched his retreating figure, and tossed the water pouch over to him.

Ren Shaoyang didn't turn around, but grabbed him.

At this moment, the Qinhuai River is quiet, with only a few fishing lights flickering. The laughter and lights in the distance seem to be in another world, gradually becoming inaudible and invisible.

The two stared blankly at the starry sky for a long time before Hongxiu asked, "Are you going to prepare for your final battle with that old ghost Pang Ban?"

“Yes.” Ren Shaoyang paused. “Pang Ban walks the ruthless and ever-changing path of the ‘Heavenly Demon’; Lang Fanyun eliminates his obsessions and achieves great success in the natural way; my ‘One Thought is Enough’ walks the path of utmost sincerity. None of the three can be sure that the east wind will prevail over the west wind, so we can only make more preparations.”

"If you really get desperate, what if you suddenly shatter the void?"

"What's wrong?" Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow. "Afraid I'll abandon you and run away?"

"That's right!" Hongxiu felt a surge of heat rush to her head and said with her hands on her hips, "What will happen to me and the one-handed man if you run away?"

"You two are simply invincible! Masters are lonely, as lonely as snow."

A flame ignited in the little beggar's heart: "You bastard, get out!"

"Haha, don't worry," Ren Shaoyang laughed, "This world can't take me away."

"Have you figured out your own power?"

“I’m starting to get a clue.” Ren Shaoyang leaned back, resting his head on Hongxiu’s lap, and said casually, “I met Yingyuan, and through him, I think I know what this cheat code for traveling between worlds really is.”

"Tell me quickly," the little beggar urged, grabbing his hair.

“Back then, Eagle’s Fate shattered and went to a destroyed world.” Ren Shaoyang smiled. “The golden finger I have is something that escaped from that destroyed world and landed on me.”

"Wow!"

Hongxiu's eyes lit up, and she pinched his cheek with her small hand, exclaiming in amazement, "Crippled man, you're like something out of a myth!"

Ren Shaoyang slapped her hand away and said with a smile, "So don't worry, I have connections! This timeline can't take me away, and I'm not going to abandon you all."

"Haha, what a cripple!"

The little beggar leaned over and excitedly shouted in his ear, "By the way, I've already created the basic version of the 'Heartbreak Flying Knife' you mentioned before!"

Ren Shaoyang suddenly stood up, turned his head and said, "Really?"

“Of course!” Hongxiu leisurely raised her water pouch and took a sip. “I’m a genius!”

"Haha! You're really amazing, little beggar!"

"Shaoyang, what makes you so happy?" A male voice, like the clang of metal, with a uniquely magnetic quality, drifted over.

Under the moonlight, a man in white stands tall in the Qinhuai River.

The figure flashed and appeared on the ship in a daze.

It was none other than the evil spirit Li Ruohai.

Ren Shaoyang said happily, "Old Li, you can now be considered one of the 'Six Strongest People in the World'."

Li Ruohai said calmly, "What if I kill Ying Yuan?"

Ren Shaoyang thought for a moment and then smiled, "Second only to three men, above ten thousand!"
