Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Now that the location of the Stone Guanyin's disciple is known.

Without further hesitation, the master and apprentice went up the mountain.

Yue Buqun's current strength is vastly different from when he first transmigrated.

Hua Zhenzhen also benefited greatly from this.

After acquiring the Zixia Divine Skill, although her internal energy cultivation was slightly inferior to Yue Buqun's, her swordsmanship was probably even superior.

With the two of them working together, unless Shi Guanyin herself intervenes, her disciples alone will no longer be able to pose a threat to them.

This is a perfect opportunity to abduct these disciples and extract the information they need from them.

He used his light-footed skills to ascend the mountain.

More than a month has passed since I left the mountain.

The snow on the mountain had melted by then.

Between the crevices of the rocks, one can see tender green shoots peeking out.

The withered tree branches have sprouted new leaves, bringing some vitality to the Huashan Sect.

The two climbed the mountain with all their might and arrived at the sect's headquarters.

Sure enough, when Yue Buqun left, the sealed gates of the Huashan Sect were now wide open.

Has someone broken in?

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance and both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

Confidence is confidence.

Even a lion must go all out to hunt a rabbit!

The two then used their lightness skills to nimbly enter the courtyard, intending to split up.

Unexpectedly, a soft voice rang out from the direction of Zhengqi Hall, "Since distinguished guests have arrived, why resort to such thieving behavior? Why not come inside and meet them?"

man!

How come there are men under Shi Guanyin's command?

Hua Zhenzhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yue Buqun's expression suddenly turned strange, and his previously guarded posture relaxed.

He sighed, "I didn't expect him to get there first. Zhenzhen, there's no need to be on guard anymore. It seems our Huashan Sect is safe."

"Yes."

Hua Zhenzhen nodded and followed Yue Buqun again.

Yue Buqun stepped into the Hall of Righteousness and sighed, "Xiang Shuai, as a gentleman thief, speaks to me, the host, in such a manner. It seems he is usurping the place and turning the tables on us."

Inside the main hall, the person sitting at the head of the table was none other than Chu Liuxiang.

His expression was calm, but it became complicated the moment he noticed Yue Buqun.

He sighed and said, "You've been back so late. When I came down, I only saw that Shi Guanyin had taken over the Huashan Sect. I thought you had already met with misfortune, and I almost gave up waiting for you."

Yue Buqun was not surprised by Chu Liuxiang's arrival.

He made an agreement with the other party that after finding Hu Tiehua, they should not be hasty or rash.

Shi Guanyin's martial arts skills are too high; to defeat her, one must concentrate all their power on one point.

Yue Buqun also had his considerations.

Chu Liuxiang's victory over Shi Guanyin in the storyline was entirely due to plot-driven factors.

Even he himself admitted that, in the same battle and the same scene, even if he were to fight a thousand times, he might not be able to replicate his previous victory!

Therefore, to maximize Chu Liuxiang's potential, we must work together...

Turn this stroke of luck into absolute certainty!

Otherwise, if Chu Liuxiang were to be defeated, he might not even be able to weaken the enemy, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Yue Buqun was unwilling to pin his hopes on the vague and uncertain luck of the protagonist.

He has his own fighting style.

Now it seems that Chu Liuxiang is a man who knows his limits and is not greedy for quick success.

Very good, very good.

He asked, "Where are Shi Guanyin's subordinates?"

"Xiao Hu is interrogating them!"

Chu Liuxiang said apologetically, "When Xiao Hu learned that Ya Nan had been captured by Shi Guanyin, he was already anxious. If I hadn't stopped him, he probably would have already rushed into the desert to rescue her. Right now, he is extremely anxious and can't wait for Sect Leader Yue to return. He has taken it upon himself to act on his own. If he has offended anyone, I hope you will forgive him."

"It's alright. If we can really find out something, it will save me the trouble."

Yue Buqun smiled and responded.

Listening closely, one could indeed hear muffled groans of pain, mixed with rough curses.

His smile faded slightly, and he sighed, "It seems that Master Hu's interrogation did not go smoothly."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Perhaps Xiao Hu really isn't good at these delicate tasks."

"I'll go take a look."

Yue Buqun went first to the back hall.

In the back room, there were indeed more than ten girls lying slumped over, apparently having had their pressure points sealed.

Although these people are highly skilled in martial arts, even Yue Buqun no longer takes them seriously.

Not to mention that the opponent is Chu Liuxiang, who comes and goes without a trace.

Among these women, there was one whom Yue Buqun recognized quite well.

It was Qu Wurong, who was still wearing a veil.

However, her veil was askew, as if it had been forcibly torn off, revealing her horrified expression.

Perhaps it was disgust, or perhaps it was a pity for the beautiful woman, that made him unable to bear seeing her in such a sorry state.

So the other person put it on for her again.

But perhaps because he saw that even the disciples of the Stone Guanyin had been disfigured because of their beautiful appearance, the only man in the hall at this moment, a man with a thick beard who was actually quite young, roared angrily.

"Why won't you talk? I've already broken your arms and legs, why won't you talk? Do I have to pick a few of you to kill before you'll cooperate obediently?"

A cold smile appeared on Qu Wurong's lips.

Perhaps because she had just been protected by Hu Tiehua, she still explained, "You underestimate Shi Guanyin too much. If we don't say anything, it's just death. But if we do say anything, our master has many ways to make us wish we were dead. To be honest, we would rather die at your hands right now than go back and accept our master's punishment."

The more she explained, the more agitated Hu Tiehua became!

His eyes were red as he stared fiercely at Qu Wurong. That hideous and twisted face seemed to gradually blur, turning into a familiar face, and then receding further and further away until it disappeared from his memory.

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

Hu Tiehua was furious.

"Xiao Hu, calm down!"

When Chu Liuxiang entered, he saw Hu Tiehua, who had almost completely lost his composure.

Yue Buqun's gaze swept over the dozen or so girls.

A smile had already appeared on his lips as he said, "Miss Qu, it's been a while since we parted ways at Mount Hua."

Qu Wurong glared fiercely at Yue Buqun and said coldly, "Once I fall into your hands, you can kill or torture me as you please, but don't even think about making me confess anything."

Yue Buqun sighed, "Really? But I think you'll cooperate with me."

"Hmph... What makes you think that?"

"Because you have already told us that the Stone Guanyin's dwelling is in the Stone Forest Valley, where stone peaks stand tall and paths crisscross, concealing hidden interactions of mutual generation and restraint, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack..."

Qu Wurong's delicate body trembled, and she stared at Yue Buqun in shock, asking, "How did you know the name of Master's residence?"

Yue Buqun said, "Of course you told me."

"I didn't say anything..."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yue Buqun said calmly, "You may not know this, but this Chu Xiangshuai is known as the Thief King. He is the number one thief in the world, and his lightness skill is unparalleled in the martial arts world. I invited him here because I no longer want to play this cat-and-mouse game with Shi Guanyin. I will go to her in person and fight her to the death. When she asks me how I found her lair, I will tell her that it was her disciple Qu Wurong who told me."

He paused, his smile growing increasingly mocking. "Then you can explain to her that you didn't betray her, that these things weren't what you said at all. I believe in the deep bond between you two, and she'll definitely believe your explanation. After all, you're so beautiful, and she only ruined your face, she wouldn't even bear to take your life. She must love you very much, right?"

Hu Tiehua couldn't help but widen her eyes, almost prostrating herself before Yue Buqun.

In an attempt to force Qu Wurong to reveal information, he cruelly broke her arm and brutally beat her, but he still couldn't get any information out of her.

On the contrary, Yue Buqun's short sentence threw her into complete disarray.

Qu Wurong, half terrified and half panicked, exclaimed in shock, "You...you're really a member of the righteous path? How could a member of the righteous path do such a despicable thing!"
