Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 128 Settling Accounts, The Death of Jiang Biehe!

"The hatred between parents is irreconcilable. Jiang Feng's son is seeking revenge on you. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Li Zhaoting stepped aside, revealing Xiaoyuer hiding behind him. Xiaoyuer glared at Jiang Biehe, a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and wanted to hear about the grudges from back then.

Jiang Qin initially thought there was some grudge or entanglement between them, but it turned out that the cause of the matter was "jealousy." Jealousy completely warped Jiang Qin's mind, leading her step by step into the abyss.

Some people remember kindness but not grudges.

Some people repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

Some people hold grudges but not gratitude.

Some people are ungrateful wretches who can never be tamed.

Jiang Biehe clearly belongs to the last category.

The better you treat him, the stronger his rebellious tendencies become.

If Jiang Feng had insulted him, hit him, or bullied and humiliated him in various ways, his betrayal would have been understandable.

Jiang Feng treated Jiang Biehe very well. Jiang Biehe was Jiang Feng's personal page, and he studied and learned to read and write under Jiang Feng's guidance. He also learned some martial arts and even obtained the Jiang family sword manual.

Other pageboys who receive such treatment must be completely devoted to their master, because they are human and know who is good and who is bad. Jiang Biehe is a beast, an animal.

Why did Jiang Biehe betray them?

This kind of mentality is hard for normal people to understand.

However, this kind of person is by no means an isolated case.

There are many people like Jiang Biehe.

There are so many that the martial arts world is becoming increasingly treacherous and deceitful.

When Li Zhaoting went to visit Gu Santong, Gu Santong said in surprise, "You've learned all my kung fu, so I'm of no value to you. Why did you come to see me? You're so young, yet you're so sentimental. You don't even understand the principle of ingratitude. How will you survive in the martial arts world in the future?"

While this statement may have an element of humor, it also speaks to the stark reality, especially in the imperial prison, where serious criminals are imprisoned, many of whom are treacherous and disloyal.

Jiang Biehe said, "Dugu Yihe, this is Emei Sect territory. Someone wants to kill someone in Emei. As the Emei Sect leader, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

Dugu Yihe scoffed, "My principles are for humans, not beasts. Beasts don't understand human principles, so why should I waste my breath?"

Abbess Miejue looked at him with disdain: "A villain like you, who is insidious, wicked, ungrateful, cruel and cold-blooded, will surely be eliminated by Heaven if not by man."

Tie Xinlan added, "Jiang Biehe, do you know whose lineage the Emei Buddhist sect inherited?"

Emei is the sacred site of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

The Emei Buddhist sect inherits the lineage of Samantabhadra.

Manjushri Bodhisattva manifests wisdom, insight, and realization;

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva manifests the principles, concentration, and practice;

To interpret the Buddha's reason, wisdom, concentration, practice, and realization;
One of the Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is to repent of karmic obstacles. Manjushri Bodhisattva is more idealistic, while Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is more materialistic, valuing both reason and practice.

According to the understanding of the various branches of Shaolin Temple, Manjushri Bodhisattva is in the Nagarjuna Academy, where scriptures are annotated and Buddhist teachings are propagated, while Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is in the Vinaya Academy, where karmic obstacles are repented for.

When Abbess Miejue drew her sword and killed Jiang Biehe, she not only did not violate the precepts, but also conformed to the orthodox tradition.

If she were to watch Jiang Biehe slip away, it might become a source of inner demons for Abbess Miejue.

This is exactly what the struggle for the orthodox tradition is all about!

The struggle for the crown prince position can result in "exile," but the struggle for the orthodox lineage usually involves bloodshed. Where are the kind-hearted men and women in such a situation?
Zhang San Niang drew her sword and pointed it at Jiang Biehe.

Zhang Sanniang and Yan Nantian were lovers. Jiang Biehe tricked Yan Nantian into going to his death, so Zhang Sanniang was certainly entitled to avenge Yan Nantian, and no one had the right to stop her.

As Yan Nantian's confidante, Zhang Sanniang was exceptionally talented. Although she could not learn Yan Nantian's swordsmanship, she learned the "Fragrance-Slicing Sword Technique" of the Iron Blood Banner Sect.

Xi Huazi and others remained on the sidelines and watched.

You can become allies when you're fighting for treasure.

At this point, I'm sorry, we're not familiar with each other!
Xiaoyuer said sternly, "Jiang Biehe, this is the Emei reception hall. Let's settle this outside. Fifteen years of grudges and grievances must eventually come to a conclusion."

Jiang Biehe tried to act like a rogue, but Li Zhaoting grabbed Jiang Biehe by the collar and threw him out.

Zhang San Niang and Xiao Yu'er acted swiftly.

Zhang San Niang's sword was as swift as a shooting star and as fast as lightning.

Little Fish's moves are incredibly diverse, combining the ruthlessness of Du Sha, the cunning of Yin Jiuyou, the fierceness of Li Dazui, the gentleness of Tu Jiaojiao, the versatility of Haha'er, and all sorts of chaotic martial arts from the Valley of Villains.

Xiaoyuer's internal strength foundation is relatively weak, and he is even inferior to Tie Xinlan in a head-on confrontation. However, he excels in his unpredictability and unconventional moves, which are dazzling and difficult to defend against.

Jiang Biehe stole the Jiang family sword manual and practiced diligently for ten years under Mei Niansheng's guidance, making his martial arts quite good. However, he was poisoned by pills when he robbed Liancheng's treasure. Even though Mei Niansheng saved his life, half of his internal energy was lost.

Coupled with his fear and rage, his attacks became completely disorganized, and he could only haphazardly parry left and right.

They put up a stubborn resistance, but they couldn't last more than thirty moves.

Sure enough, after about twenty moves, Zhang San Niang cut off Jiang Biehe's right arm with a sword. Xiao Yu'er took the opportunity to rush to Jiang Biehe's chest, and quickly struck acupoints with both hands. Thinking of Li Zhaoting's posture, he formed a sword with his right hand and struck Jiang Biehe's dantian, crippling his martial arts.

Just as Jiang Biehe was begging for mercy, Zhang Sanniang changed her sword from a downward slash to an upward thrust, piercing Jiang Biehe's mouth and cutting off his tongue.

"You betrayed Jiang Feng and deceived Yan Nantian, all thanks to this tongue. I'll make you mute!"

“You betrayed my father, deceived my uncle, stole my family's sword manual, and mastered martial arts. Now, I'm taking back those skills and expelling you from the Jiang family.” Zhang San Niang and Xiao Yu'er stopped their attacks simultaneously.

Jiang Biehe felt he could survive and was about to kneel and beg Mount Emei to take him in, offering to become a monk.

Just then, a long whip came whistling through the air, piercing Jiang Biehe's back and extinguishing his life force.

The one who made the move was Zhang Jing.

The children will avenge their parents' blood feud!

As Yan Nantian's daughter, Zhang Jing would naturally use the most decisive means to avenge her father. Forgiveness was out of the question; Zhang Jing disliked forgiveness.

Abbess Miejue's eyes lit up.

Zhang Jing was righteous and ruthless, which suited Abbess Miejue's tastes perfectly. Unfortunately, Zhang Jing had the protection of the Iron Banner Sect and endless martial arts skills to learn.

The Emei sword technique was very tempting to Tie Xinlan, but it held almost no appeal for Zhang Jing.

Dugu Yihe smiled and said, "Death is the greatest event. Prepare a straw mat for Jiang Biehe and bury him properly!"

Xi Huazi and the others twitched their noses in anger.

The Emei Sect makes a fortune every day and is extremely wealthy. They say they respect the dead, but they don't even have coffins, only straw mats. The Emei Sect can't afford coffins.
The Emei Sect certainly can afford to pay for the coffin.

But Jiang Biehe is not worthy!

If you want a proper burial, let his son come!

Oh~ Jiang Biehe's son got screwed over by him.

The evil god's treasure map was created by Jiang Biehe. He was drawing the map in his study when Jiang Yulang discovered it and mistakenly thought it was the real treasure map.

Jiang Yulang secretly stole the treasure map and rushed to Emei Mountain to search for the treasure, where he was imprisoned by Xiao Mimi until now.

Xiao Mimi is one of the Ten Villains. She is a seductive and beautiful woman who was originally a courtesan. When entertaining customers, she would lure martial arts practitioners to hand over their martial arts manuals. In this way, she obtained dozens of martial arts techniques. Even some disciples of the Seven Great Sword Sects were seduced by her and handed over their sect's sword manuals.

After mastering martial arts, Xiao Mimi used her beauty to seduce handsome men and bring them back to her "palace." Xiao Mimi declared herself empress, and the handsome men became her concubines.

Jiang Yulang was one of them.

Xiao Mimi has drained him so much that his very marrow is almost dried up!
Jiang Biehe ventured to Emei for two reasons: first, to continue causing trouble, and second, to take the opportunity to find his son.

Why is Jiang Biehe causing trouble?
What good would it do him to anger Emei?
Li Zhaoting rubbed his chin and suddenly felt that Jiang Biehe's continuous trouble-making might not be his intention. Perhaps there was a dark force behind him forcing him to keep causing trouble.

Dugu Yihe chuckled and said, "Let's talk about the Evil God's Treasure again. I'm very curious, is Gu Jianhun a book seller or a painter? How come the treasure map of the Evil God's Treasure is so widely circulated?"

Everyone looked at Sun Biyun at the same time.

Sun Biyun said in a deep voice, "Gu Jianhun has no hobby of collecting gold and silver jewelry, doesn't know how to do business, has no ability to make money, and when he runs out of money, he robs rich people."

"Where is the secret manual for the Tathagata Palm technique?"

Xi Hua Zi had the most impatient temper. He didn't want to talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"What kind of genius is Gu Jianhun? He can memorize the entire manual after reading it once, and then burn it. Gu Jianhun himself said that he hates writing the most in his life."

Sun Biyun glanced at Xi Huazi with disdain.

"Madam Tu, what are you trying to say?"

Xi Hua Zi mocked, "You first gave yourself to Gu Jian Hun, then found an honest man like Tu Jin to take over. When you heard about your old lover, you rushed here as fast as you could, all to find the secret manual. What the hell are you so high and mighty about?"
"I want to tell you that the Tathagata Palm manual was burned by Gu Jianhun. Given Gu Jianhun's personality, it's impossible that he copied down the manual. There is no treasure at all."

"If that's the case, what brings you here?"

Xi Huazi glared angrily at Sun Biyun.

Sun Biyun said, "Come and see the show! Jiang Biehe gave me 50,000 taels of silver to watch a good show. This drama is very exciting and more interesting than I imagined."

Wei Si Niang said, "Sect Leaders, Gu Jian Hun committed many evils back then, and everyone has the right to kill him. If Gu Jian Hun is in the Emei Sect, please do us a favor."

Abbess Miejue laughed in fury: "Don't even mention a mere inner disciple like you. Even if the Kunlun Sect Leader were here, he would have to ask the Heaven-Slaying Sword before he could enter the Emei ancestral tomb!"

Li Zhaoting tried to smooth things over: "Gentlemen, I have some clues from the Six Doors. The Ancient Sword Soul is at the foot of the mountain. Just now, Heroine Wei spoke righteously and wanted to get rid of the Fire Cloud Evil God for the Central Plains martial arts world. I will definitely give you a chance. As long as the Ancient Sword Soul is found, I will immediately notify the Kunlun Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

With just a casual slap from Gu Jianhun, he could turn Xi Huazi and Wei Si Niang into mincemeat.

How could they possibly defeat the Ancient Sword Soul?
Sun Biyun asked, "Young Master Li, judging from what you just said, the Fire Cloud Evil God is still alive?"

Li Zhaoting nodded.

……

At the foot of Mount Emei, a crazy old man walked along the mountain path. His mind was very confused, and he understood almost nothing except for basic survival instincts.

When he was hungry, he would steal food; when he was thirsty, he would drink water from the river. If someone hit him, he would fight back, and with a casual slap, he could crush the enemy into pieces.

"Fire Cloud Evil God" Ancient Sword Soul.

The ancient sword spirit went completely mad.

The only clear thought in Gu Jianhun's mind was to come to Emei; Emei was very important to him.
