In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

The three most notable characters are Ren Yingying, Guo Fu, and Yue Lingshan.

The former made a big splash at the Southern Shaolin Conference.

The latter two women were the first to appear beside Gu Hanyuan in public.

As for Sheng, Bai Axiu, Ding Dang, and the other women, the stories about them were also told in great detail.

This is practically solid evidence.

However, in terms of popularity, it is not as widespread as the previous four women.

Yue Lingshan is the daughter of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan's stance is self-evident.

Even if the Huashan Sword Sect is not an enemy.

It will definitely not be friendly.

Now Yuan Chengzhi has offended Gu Hanyuan as well.

They even broke the rules by drawing their swords and launching sneak attacks.

This is not a problem that can be solved in a few words.

Cui Ximin and An Xiaohui were dumbfounded.

Ultimately, the root of the problem lies with them.

If they hadn't failed to protect the gold...

How could they possibly drag Yuan Chengzhi down with them?

Strictly speaking...

It was also because of Choi Hee-min's reckless remarks.

This led to the situation spiraling out of control.

Therefore, they were quite uneasy.

He lowered his head and meekly called out, "Master."

However, it was precisely this address of "Master" that made it possible.

It made Huang Zhen's eyes light up.

Huang Zhen witnessed the entire unfolding of the events.

How could one not know the cause of the matter?

Although I was extremely reluctant to part with it.

But for the future of the Huashan Sword Sect.

The only option left was to make a sacrifice.

Huang Zhen said respectfully:

“Young Master Gu, it is all my fault for failing to discipline my disciple, which has led to him offending you. Whoever caused the trouble should bear the consequences. I will now hand over my disciple Ximin to you for disposal.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Cui Ximin looked ashamed.

An Xiaohui exclaimed in disbelief:

"Master! How can this be! My senior brother only wants to get the gold back!"

Yuan Chengzhi was also unwilling for Cui Ximin to take the blame for him.

He said with righteous indignation:

"Senior Brother, one should take responsibility for one's own actions. Why implicate Junior Nephew Cui?"

Huang Zhen's expression hardened upon hearing this.

Shouted:

"Chengzhi, shut up. Do you want to lose an arm like your Uncle Cheng Buyou?"

Yuan Chengzhi muttered to himself in shock:

"Uncle-Master Cheng Buyou lost an arm?"

He subconsciously looked at Gu Hanyuan.

All I saw was a cold face and icy eyes.

I suddenly felt a chill.

For martial artists

A severed arm is the most unbearable injury.

It wasn't because of the pain of losing an arm.

Rather, it was because he lost most of his martial arts skills after losing his arm.

This is especially true for swordsmen.

The reason why Feng Wanli of the Snow Mountain Sect was not seen was because he had lost an arm.

Did he go from being a renowned hero to a despised and useless person?

Anyone with a bit of ambition.

Everyone would feel that compared to losing an arm.

It would be better to just die.

Even someone as upright as Yuan Chengzhi.

He hesitated even when faced with the choice of losing his arm.

As for resistance?

Let's stop making a fuss.

Ultimately, there are limits to being honest.

When it doesn't concern you.

Anyone can say a few nice words.

When it comes to one's own interests.

It depends on whether the losses are worthwhile.

Losing an arm is like ruining your life.

This requires more than just integrity.

What's needed even more is courage.

Did Yuan Chengzhi have enough courage?

You'll know once you read the ending of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood".

Seeing the corruption of the rebel army.

He also abandoned his revenge against his sworn brother Yuan Chengzhi.

They didn't even care about the future of the Huashan Sect.

They ignored the Qing invasion.

He chose to live a carefree and secluded life with Wen Qingqing and He Tieshou in Brunei, overseas.

You can say he's disheartened or disillusioned.

Call him carefree and unrestrained if you will.

But Gu Hanyuan only wanted to ask one question:

"Do you remember your name?"

Although many of Yuan Chonghuan's actions were criticized.

However, they have done nothing wrong in terms of national righteousness.

The name is Chengzhi.

It is also hoped that Yuan Chengzhi can carry on his legacy.

However, it ended in such a fruitless endeavor.

No wonder Yuan Chengzhi in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood" is less popular than Xia Xueyi, who never appears on screen and is merely a background character.

Yuan Chengzhi remained silent.

Huang Zhen's expression was cold and stern.

Choi Hee-min's face was filled with despair.

It seems that everything is already set in stone.

However, a sudden female voice broke the deadlock.
