Chapter 102 Call Me Master! Winning Over Hearts and Embracing People!

"Big brother?"

Upon hearing the voice coming from the depths of the stone chamber, a playful expression appeared on Zhong Yuan's face.

He strolled along, heading towards the deepest part of the stone chamber.

When he got closer, he saw a little girl with two big, watery eyes looking at him.

Those eyes were full of innocence.

Anyone who saw it would think it was just a little girl.

Who would have thought that this was the infamous Tianshan Child Granny, feared throughout the martial arts world?

Zhong Yuan stepped forward, pinched Tianshan Tonglao's chin, looked her up and down, and asked with feigned surprise, "Who are you?"

"Where is the Heavenly Child Granny?"

The Heavenly Child Granny looked completely innocent, blinked at Zhong Yuan, and whispered, "Big brother!"

"I was kidnapped, and I don't know who the Heavenly Child Granny is."

"Big brother, can you get me out of here?"

Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Rescue you?"

"What kind of reward can you offer me?"

"This Lingjiu Palace is a den of dragons and tigers."

"The Heavenly Child Granny is infamous; she is a complete old devil and monster."

"If I save you, and she finds out..."

"Won't she hate me to death?"

Tianshan Tonglao looked at Zhong Yuan with an innocent expression, her big, watery eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.

"Big brother."

Please save me.

"My whole family was killed by the people of Lingjiu Palace."

"If my older brother doesn't save me out..."

"Then I'll just starve to death or die of thirst here."

While outwardly pleading for mercy, Tianshan Tonglao secretly wished she could tear Zhong Yuan to pieces.

She only thought that once her power was restored, she would make Zhong Yuan wish he were dead.

At this time.

Zhong Yuan, however, looked troubled and deliberately raised his hand to rub his chin.

He revealed the gemstone ring on his hand.

The Heavenly Child Granny saw the gemstone ring clearly.

Her pupils contracted, and she almost blurted out an angry question to Zhong Yuan about where the gemstone ring came from.

However, she held back.

She boasted that, apart from Li Qiushui, Wuyazi, and her master, no one could recognize her now.

Zhong Yuan, that kid, has repeatedly gone against her.

It also cost the lives of many of her Lingjiu Palace disciples.

Since she took charge of Lingjiu Palace, she has never suffered such a great loss.

at the moment.

Although she didn't know where the gemstone ring on Zhong Yuan's hand, which represented the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, came from.

But she understood perfectly.

Now that the gemstone ring has fallen into Zhong Yuan's hands, it means that Wu Yazi has most likely met with misfortune.

Zhong Yuan is backed by the Ming Cult, and the Ming Cult and the Xiaoyao Sect have long been bitter enemies.

Currently, her skills are not as good as before.

time!

What she needs most is time.

At this time.

Zhong Yuan slowly said, "Taking you out isn't out of the question."

"But you're penniless, I can't save you for nothing."

"That's fine."

"You acknowledge me as your master and call me 'Master'."

"Kneel down three times and become my servant from now on."

"How about you bring me tea and water, massage my feet, and fan me?"

These words were spoken.

This almost made the Heavenly Child Granny so angry she was practically fuming.

I wish I could curse Zhong Yuan out on the spot and insult his ancestors for eight generations.

However, she held back.

Zhong Yuan is a really strange kid.

That sword strike on Mount Lingjiu that day had already touched the threshold of [God].

Now that she has lost much of her power, how could she possibly be a match for this kid?

However, it was absolutely out of the question to ask her to kowtow to this boy.

She was always the one being worshipped.

How could anyone else be worthy of her bowing!

"What's wrong?"

"You don't want to?"

Zhong Yuan glanced at Tianshan Tonglao.

The Heavenly Child Granny slowly said, "Big brother."

"I can tell you where the treasure of Lingjiu Palace is hidden."

Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Weren't you kidnapped by the people of Lingjiu Palace?"

"How can we find out where the treasure of Lingjiu Palace is located?"

The Heavenly Child Granny said weakly, "After they kidnapped me, they imprisoned me in this underground cave."

"I've been inside this cave several times and seen many treasures that they've hidden underground."

"Big brother."

"There are so many treasures."

"Enough for you to buy a hundred or so slave girls."

After a moment's thought, Zhong Yuan said, "Okay!"

"Then take me to see it."

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed deep in Tianshan Tonglao's eyes.

She was most familiar with the terrain of this underground cave.

If we can lure this kid into that trap, perhaps we can use the traps in the underground cave to kill him.

But—this kid managed to come in unharmed from the outside.

It seems that the mechanisms inside the grotto really can't do anything to him.

That's it.

It's just a matter of losing some money.

We just need to get through these days.

Once she recovers her powers, she will make that brat pay a hundredfold.

Immediately.

She picked up the torch beside her and walked ahead, her bare feet stepping across the smooth stone surface.

They headed straight towards another passageway in the cave.

This grotto is a natural underground cave, and it can be said to be a maze of interconnected passages.

Before long, the Heavenly Child Granny waved her torch deeper into the stone wall, pointing to a dusty stone niche not far ahead.

He said, "There are countless treasures here. Those people from Lingjiu Palace have brought in so many treasures."

As she spoke, she pressed the mechanism on the stone edge three times, and the heavy stone wall in front of her made a sound.

Slowly move to the right.

The light from the pearls in the niche flowed out along with the firelight, even bathing the hems of the two people's clothes in a warm golden glow.

Inside the stone chamber, there were rows and rows of shelves.

On that shelf were luminous pearls, jade from the southern frontier, and cold jade from the western regions.

The collection includes a wide variety of antiques and treasures, all of extremely high value.

At a glance, Zhong Yuan knew that the treasures in this vault were indeed countless.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny standing to the side.

The treasures in this vault were all collected from all corners of the country by the thirty-six cave masters and seventy-two island masters she had ordered over the years.

Some of these rare treasures were things that even the emperor in the imperial palace had never seen.

She refused to believe that the young man surnamed Zhong wasn't easily fooled.

She said in a clear voice, "Big brother, see, I didn't lie to you."

"There are so many treasures here!"

"I will give this treasure to my older brother."

"Big brother, just take me out and take me to a safe place."

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan glanced at Tianshan Tonglao and then slowly said, "Originally, I didn't want to take you with me."

"However, considering how sincere you are."

"I'll reluctantly agree."

"However, we can't go out yet."

Immediately.

Zhong Yuan raised his hand and lifted Tianshan Tonglao up, then pressed her pressure points.

Then, carrying the Heavenly Child Granny, they returned to the stone wall with the circle drawn on it.

He casually tossed Tianshan Tonglao to the ground.

Then, he began to practice the martial arts techniques drawn in the circles on the stone wall.

Starting with move A, that was the opening stance of the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and then the techniques were practiced in sequence.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms are both contained within it.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is composed of six techniques: three palm techniques, three grappling techniques, and six other skills, encompassing the essence of the Xiaoyao School of martial arts.

Many of the unique techniques of weapons are contained within palm techniques and grappling methods.

The Tianshan Six Yang Palms is an extremely powerful martial art.

With Zhong Yuan's current skill level, practicing the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms would be no problem at all.

The Heavenly Child Granny lay on the ground, watching Zhong Yuan practice the Heavenly Plum Blossom Hand and Heavenly Six Yang Palm techniques carved on the stone wall.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

She wished that Zhong Yuan would suffer a qi deviation and become possessed by practicing the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms.

but.

soon.

She discovered that Zhong Yuan practiced the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm without any obstacles or setbacks.

It was done almost in one go.

About two incense sticks' worth of time passed.

But when Zhong Yuan stopped and finished, it was clear that the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms were indeed exquisite martial arts.

Without sufficient internal strength, one cannot cultivate at all; rashly seeking it will only lead to being trapped in demonic possession.

However, he can now cultivate with ease.

He had never practiced any proper palm techniques before, but now he has the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm.

Get it done in one step.

The Heavenly Child Granny, standing to the side, was greatly shocked, but she couldn't help but sigh.

Zhong Yuan, that little thief, is indeed incredibly talented.

Within the Free and Unfettered Sect, there is currently not a single successor with such extraordinary talent as him.

That day, the boy was not killed at Lingjiu Mountain.

This will truly have endless consequences.

As a result, even the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms have been learned by this little thief.

After learning the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Zhong Yuan then memorized the medical texts on the stone wall, as well as the methods for making and dispelling the Life and Death Talisman.

Once all of this is done.

Zhong Yuan then picked up Tianshan Tonglao and headed out of the stone cave.

After Zhong Yuan led Tianshan Tonglao out of the stone cave.

Zuo Zimu and Sikong Xuan were still patiently waiting at the cave entrance.

I saw Zhong Yuan leading a little girl out.

Sikong Xuan immediately turned to Zhong Yuan and asked, "Sect Leader Zhong, how is it?"

"Have you found the Heavenly Child Granny?"

Zhong Yuan smiled faintly, not answering the question, but instead said to Sikong Xuan, "Chief Sikong, Left Sect Leader."

"I can remove the Life and Death Talisman for you."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu's faces lit up with joy.

The two immediately addressed Zhong Yuan in unison, saying, "Master Zhong!"

Is that really true?

Zhong Yuan said, "That's natural."

"Which of you two wants to go first?"

Sikong Xuan was extremely excited. He had been tormented by the Life and Death Talisman for many years, and now that he had the opportunity to get rid of its poison, he was naturally eager to do so!

"Master Zhong!"

"I'll go first!"

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly, signaling Sikong Xuan to tell him the acupoints where the Life and Death Talisman had struck him.

Sikong Xuan immediately spat it out.

Zhong Yuan channeled his pure Yang energy and immediately unleashed "Yang Ge Tian Jun," a move from the "Tianshan Six Yang Palms."

Tap the "Lingtai" acupoint on Sikong Xuan's back.

Sikong Xuan's body trembled violently, and he felt as if he had collapsed from exhaustion.

Then, using the pure Yang power of the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, he completely dissolved the life-and-death talismans in his three acupoints: Xuan Shu, Qi Hai, and Si Kong Zhu.

This time.

Sikong Xuan felt the cold poison that had accumulated in his body for many years suddenly disappear.

Overjoyed, he immediately bowed down to Zhong Yuan.

"Master Zhong, please accept Sikong Xuan's bow!"

"Master Zhong is like a second parent to Sikong Xuan!"

"From now on, whatever Commander Zhong commands!"

"Sikong Xuanding would go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan helped Sikong Xuan up and said directly, "Chief Sikong, if you don't mind that my Ming Cult is deserted,..."

"They can lead their followers to submit to my Ming Cult."

"From now on, the brothers of the Shennong Gang will also be the brothers of my Ming Cult."

"We support each other and work together to achieve great things."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan immediately said, "Respectfully, Master!"

"Sikong Xuan kowtows!"

immediately.

Sikong Xuan kowtowed three times to Zhong Yuan in a straightforward manner.

The Heavenly Child Granny, who was standing nearby, saw this scene.

His eyes held a depth of unspeakable emotion.

The Life and Death Talisman was the most difficult hidden weapon for her Free and Unfettered Sect to learn.

This little thief surnamed Zhong has actually learned how to decipher the Life and Death Talisman.

This little thief's talent is truly terrifying.

Now.

Those lackeys from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands will probably all be won over by him.

She had been in charge of Lingjiu Palace for many years, and all the prestige she had accumulated was lost in one day to this person!

Thinking about this...

Tianshan Child Granny wished she could reveal her identity right now and kill Zhong Yuan.

but!

She dare not!

also can not!

Tolerate!

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!

When she achieves her goal, she will tear this scoundrel surnamed Zhong to pieces!

now.

Tianshan Tonglao felt a chill in her heart, wishing she could devour Zhong Yuan alive.

Zuo Zimu, who was standing to the side, saw that Zhong Yuan had indeed cured Sikong Xuan of the poison of the Life and Death Talisman.

He immediately bowed down to Zhong Yuan.

"By the grace of Master Zhong!"

"Zuo Zimu is also willing to submit to the Ming Cult!"

"Please, Master, help me detoxify!"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "Sect Leader Zuo, there's no need to be so polite!"

"However, since you have this intention, from now on, we are all family."

Then he asked Zuo Zimu which acupoints were poisoned.

Zuo Zimu recounted them one by one.

Zhong Yuan used the Tianshan Six Yang Palm to dissolve the Life and Death Talismans in Zuo Zimu's body one by one.

Before long, Zuo Zimu also felt the life-and-death talismans within his body completely dissipate.

The feeling of escaping death and no longer having to suffer inhuman torture is truly wonderful.

His eyes even reddened.

He respectfully kowtowed to Zhong Yuan.

"I have no way to repay the leader's life-saving grace. From now on, I will do my best to help the leader and make the Ming Cult flourish."

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly and helped Zuo Zimu up.

Then, he said to Zuo Zimu and Sikong Xuan, "Brother Zuo, Brother Sikong, you two keep a close eye on this little girl."

"Don't let her escape."

Seeing this, Zuo Zimu was somewhat puzzled and asked Zhong Yuan, "Master."

"Is this little girl also a demoness from Lingjiu Palace?"

Zhong Yuan nodded.

I guess so.

immediately.

Zhong Yuan pushed the artificial hill back to its original position with one hand.

Then he gestured to Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu to take Tianshan Tonglao and head towards the outside of Lingjiu Palace.

Outside Lingjiu Palace.

At that moment, someone held a knife to the woman in yellow's neck and asked in a cold voice, "Speak!"

"Where exactly are those treasures we presented hidden?"

The woman in yellow spat and cursed, "You dog slave!"

Enraged, the man slashed the woman in yellow across the neck with a single stroke.

The woman in the yellow dress died instantly.

Then, the man, holding a knife to another woman in a yellow shirt, asked the other women, "Will you talk or not?"

"If you don't talk, I'll kill you all!"

Those women in yellow clothes raised their heads one by one, showing no fear of death.

At this time.

A series of mocking laughs came from afar.

"Hahaha, Senior Sister!"

"Are you just going to stand by and watch your disciples be killed by these people?"

"I really admire you!"

"When it comes to ruthlessness and a heart of stone, I'm truly no match for you!"
