Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"You bastard, you're going to kill someone just because of this?"

The two girls are experiencing complex emotions. They are overjoyed that their parents have betrothed them to Lin Yaoxie, saddened by the loss of their parents, and filled with resentment towards Wei Bi.

People often lose their rationality when they are experiencing great joy, sorrow, or anger. Zhu Wu and her sister were not foolish women with long hair and short brains; among women, they were both considered quite shrewd.

But there was nothing they could do; both of them had been misled by Lin Yaoxie's preconceived notions. Furthermore, Lin Yaoxie, impersonating Wei Bi, delivered a series of interconnected lies, further clouding their judgment.

Therefore, they naturally assumed that after Lin Yaoxie, a person with such great abilities, came to Lianhuan Manor, their father thought he was a talented person and thus betrothed them to Brother Lin.

It was precisely for this reason that Lin Yaoxie went to Red Plum Manor to find them, and that's why he did those things with them on the back of the giant wolf out of passion.

People are less likely to be deceived by others and more likely to be deceived by themselves.

If you can calm down and think about it carefully, you will find many flaws.

Unfortunately, neither Zhu Jiuzhen nor Wu Qingying did. All they wanted now was to kill the treacherous Wei Bi to avenge their father and the people of the manor.

It's equally unfortunate that they rushed over in their haste to get dressed after getting out of bed, without bringing any weapons. Facing Wei Bi, who had killed both Zhu Changling and Wu Lie, were they even a match?

Just then, a divine general riding on auspicious seven-colored clouds descended from the sky and stood between them and Wei Bi.

The divine general was dressed in white, exuding both gentle elegance and supreme domineering aura, and possessing both tenderness and unyielding spirit.

He simply threw a punch at Wei Bi, whose body shattered into pieces like a toppled block.

Limbs, torsos, and heads flew off, the scene was extremely bloody, and it was Wei Bi, whom the two women had always deeply loved and who had bickered and argued with.

Logically speaking, they should be unable to bear it, or at least unable to bear watching it.

In reality, due to Lin Yaoxie's ingenious arrangement, the two women's hatred for Wei Bi had reached the point where they wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

The two men stared at the mangled corpses scattered on the ground, wishing they could find an axe and chop them a few more times to vent their anger.

"Brother Lin!" After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Wu and the other two women, having lost their support and emotional anchor, simultaneously threw themselves into Lin Yaoxie's arms: "What are we going to do now?"

"It's alright." Lin Yaoxie patted the two women's soft backs with his hands crossed, a smug smile on his face after his scheme had succeeded. "If you're not afraid of being wronged, then you can be my maids now. No matter what, Brother Lin will always protect you."

"Thank you, Brother Lin, you're so kind."

I have to say it again: people can be really despicable sometimes.

Not only did they kill your ancestors, but they also killed many members of your family. In the end, all they did was make you a maidservant by their side, which was practically rape. And you were actually willing to do that and even grateful.

Well, the world is in such a crazy state, what can anyone do?

Of course, it's not entirely Zhu Wu and his daughter's fault, because they were kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

Lin Yaoxie felt no psychological burden whatsoever. All he needed was the result; as for the process? It didn't matter. As long as he was happy, what did it matter to him whether they lived or died?

Lin Yaoxie is the Demon Emperor; as long as he doesn't lose himself, he can act arbitrarily. But then again, Zhu Changling, Wu Lie, and Wei Bi—none of them are any good. They're dead, so be it; no one will grieve or shed a tear for them.

The entire Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor was wiped out overnight, and Lin Yaoxie had long wanted to leave. However, due to the insistence of Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying, he had no choice but to trouble himself by setting a fire, burning the entire manor to the ground.

Amidst a raging fire, the farce came to an end.

Sometimes, the coincidences of history and time can be truly astonishing. In the original novel, Zhu Changling burned down his own house in order to deceive Zhang Wuji.

Unexpectedly, in this world, the Lianhuan Manor also suffered the same fate of being reduced to ashes.

I just wonder if the fire can burn away all greed? If Zhu Wu and his companion hadn't been so greedy for the secret within the Butcher's Knife, wouldn't they have been better off living the life of wealthy men?

Chapter 144: Plucking the Tiger's Whiskers [Second Update]

A great fire reduced Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor to ashes, successfully leaving Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying without any support.

After the two women fell asleep, Lin Yaoxie directly moved them into his spatial dimension.

Before returning to the ancient tomb, he had one more thing to do.

As dawn broke in the east, Lin Yaoxie walked unhurriedly down the road to Kunlun Mountain.

Lin Yaoxie was walking so casually because he was waiting for someone to arrive. That person was Zhang Wuji, who would be arriving today.

Zhang Wuji, having stumbled and struggled his way to the halfway point of Kunlun Mountain, was utterly exhausted. Just then, a man in white appeared in his field of vision.

The man walked up to Zhang Wuji, said nothing, and casually tossed down a book with yellowed pages.

He then pointed north and said calmly, "Go in that direction, it's about half an hour's journey, and you'll find a Red Plum Manor. It's an empty manor, you can hide inside for refuge. At the same time, you should also cultivate the Nine Yang True Scripture properly. This scripture can suppress the icy cold energy of the Xuanming Divine Palm within your body."

After saying that, the man walked past Lin Yaoxie and headed straight south.

Zhang Wuji picked up the book from the ground in a daze, looked at the four big characters 'Nine Yang Manual' on it, and suddenly remembered the Wudang Nine Yang Skill that his grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng had given him.

After a brief glance, I found that there were indeed words related to the Wudang Nine Yang Skill between the lines of this book.

Zhang Wuji struggled to stand up straight, watching the departing white-robed man's back: "Thank you for your help, senior. May I ask your name? I, Zhang Wuji, will repay you with all my might in the future."

The figure of the man in white had already blended into the sky and water amidst the pure white snow, only his voice drifted over: "You don't need to know who I am, and I don't need your repayment. Let's meet again in four or five years. Practice the Nine Yang Skill well, and then we'll see who truly prevails."

Zhang Wuji scratched his head blankly, unable to see the man in white anymore; it all felt like a dream.

But looking at the real Nine Yang Manual in his hand, he was certain that this was not a dream. Could it be that he had truly encountered a deity?

Zhang Wuji happily ran north, now that he had the strength, and quickly arrived at the remaining Red Plum Manor. Because Red Plum Manor was located in a remote area, apart from the servants of Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor who provided supplies, there was no one else who interacted with it.

Now Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor has been reduced to ashes, and no one knows the location of Hongmei Manor anymore.

Thus, Red Plum Manor replaced the secret realm on the cliff halfway up Jingshen Peak and became the place where Zhang Wuji practiced the Nine Yang Manual.

Lin Yaoxie's trip back home successfully brought back two more maids, which was entirely expected by the women of the Ancient Tomb. Aside from some playful banter, no one said much. After all, Lin Yaoxie's stamina and skill were too good; he could easily satisfy all his wives' desires in a short time.

If it were truly a one-on-one duel, Huang Rong and the other women might not be able to withstand it.

Time passes unrecorded within the ancient tomb, but chaos ensued in the martial arts world afterward.

The situation was remarkably similar to that of a century ago, with anti-government armed forces rising up everywhere, once again calling themselves the Demon Alliance. However, without the formidable support of figures like the Two Demon Immortals, the Thirteen Black Riders, and the Demon Emperor, the actual combat effectiveness of these armed forces was rather ordinary.

Even though the Yuan Dynasty government was incompetent and corrupt, it was still a force to be reckoned with, and the Grand Marshal Ruyang was indeed capable, so the situation had not yet deteriorated to the point of being out of control.

Even so, Prince Ruyang, his son Wang Baobao, and his daughter Princess Shaomin were all busy and away from Dadu for long periods of time. Without the Grand Marshal's supervision and assistance, the new emperor became increasingly arrogant.

Finally, on this day, Wang Baobao secretly slipped away from his father and sister and returned to Dadu all by himself.

His sole purpose in returning to Dadu was to incite the increasingly flamboyant emperor to launch a military campaign against the ancient tomb.

Wang Baobao knew perfectly well that the rebel forces in various places were just using the emperor's name as a front. If the Demon Emperor were truly in charge, how could the battle be so fierce? However, because of the incident involving Da Shi Bao and the killing of A Da and the other two, Wang Baobao still harbored a grudge against Lin Yaoxie.

This time, he finally felt the time was right and came up with a terrible idea.

The Yuan Dynasty had several emperors, and although they were still descendants of Kublai Khan, they had forgotten their grandfather's teachings. Moreover, like Zhu Changling and Wu Lie, they didn't really believe that the demon emperor of a century ago was so terrifying.

So the emperor actually listened to Wang Baobao's advice and dispatched an army of 200,000 to launch a massive campaign against the Demon Mountain Tomb.

Two hundred thousand troops is no small number. When Möngke Khan personally led his army to besiege Xiangyang, he only brought two hundred thousand troops. Kublai Khan also used two hundred thousand troops when he campaigned against Japan.

Although the Yuan Dynasty emperors were arrogant and conceited, they also knew that there is no smoke without fire. Great reputations are never undeserved; even if there were exaggerations, the Demon Emperor Lin was no ordinary person.

In order to be prepared for any eventuality, 200,000 reserves were mobilized. Originally, it was planned that Wang Baobao would lead the attack, but the latter refused, claiming that he had to go to the west to suppress rebels.

Therefore, the emperor had no choice but to appoint an unknown military officer to lead the army to attack.

Let alone 200,000 people, even 200,000 wild rabbits would be enough to leave the land barren.

All the fighting across the country came to a halt, and everyone in the world awaited the outcome of this great war.

When Ruyang Wang and Zhao Min, who were far away in the Central Plains suppressing a rebellion, heard about this, they both exclaimed that something was wrong.

Zhao Min quickly said to her father, "Father, quickly mobilize the army back to Dadu to protect the king."

The Prince of Ruyang nodded repeatedly: "That's right. I don't know whose slander the emperor listened to, that he dared to pluck the tiger's whiskers."

Zhao Min's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely guessed that the culprit was most likely her brother, who was always hungry but useless at everything.

But this was not the time to anger his father, so he could only urge him to quickly send troops back to Dadu: "Father, my adoptive father has a bad temper. I personally witnessed how he killed A Da and the other two in one move. If we really anger him, the tragedy of the destruction of the Lin'an Palace a hundred years ago will probably be repeated in the old palace of Dadu."

Preview of new book chapters:

Lin Yaoxie was furious, not because the Yuan Dynasty army was besieging the ancient tomb, but because the timing was terrible.

He was having sex with his many wives on a large gyroscope when Zhu Wu and his two new wives stood in front of it, observing and learning. They finally understood what Lin Yaoxie meant by having many wives and concubines.

They blushed, finding it incredible that Lin Yaoxie could take such good care of every woman's feelings.

At this moment, deafening shouts of battle erupted one after another, making Lin Yaoxie stare wide-eyed with rage.

Gongsun Lü'e wrapped her arms around Lin Yaoxie's neck, preventing him from standing up: "They're just a bunch of little fleas, let them make a fuss."

Li Mochou, beneath Lin Yaoxie, wiped the sticky liquid from her lips and said with a smile, "Sister Lü'e, it seems your kung fu is still lacking. This is different from the last time when hundreds of people came to cause trouble. Judging from the voices, there are at least tens of thousands, or even more people."

The petite woman, who had been standing in a row with little expression, shifted slightly: "Maybe I should go instead."

Lin Yaoxie pressed his right hand against Xiaolong's breasts: "Mochou is right, there are too many people coming this time, a total of two hundred thousand. Although you have followed me for a hundred years and your cultivation is far beyond what it used to be, killing two hundred thousand people is too dirty a job."

Right beside Lin Yaoxie, Lu Wushuang, who was teasing Lin Yaoxie's two little buds, thought for a moment and said, "How about we let my brother and the others handle it? I don't know what's wrong with the Yuan Dynasty emperor, has he lost his mind?"

“I can get rid of Hei Long and the others, but not this time. I’m coming myself.” Lin Yaoxie raised his head, his eyes practically spitting fire. “I originally planned to take action a few months later, but I didn’t expect the short-lived Yuan Dynasty to live so long. Hmph, I’ll grant your wish.”

The entrance to the ancient tomb is very well hidden, and most people wouldn't be able to find it. But with an army of 200,000 conducting a thorough search, what could possibly remain completely hidden?

In the vast open space at the main entrance of the ancient tomb, two hundred thousand troops stood in long ranks. The army stretched all the way up the mountain, and everyone awaited the commander's order for a general offensive.

The army commander stood at the forefront on horseback, his hands holding the command flag and his forehead, which had been covered in sweat after removing his helmet.

Even when a general leads an army in person, he rarely stands directly in front of the main force, because that would be too dangerous.

The commander didn't care; he never even considered the possibility of returning alive.

He was a confidant of Prince Ruyang, having followed him since he first joined the army, a relationship that had lasted for decades. Throughout these decades, Prince Ruyang had repeatedly told him that he must never have any contact with the ancient tomb beneath Demon Mountain. This was because the Demon Emperor within the tomb was the true creator and controller of the Yuan Dynasty.

The commander had no doubt about what the Prince of Ruyang said.

Because he and Prince Ruyang were both sent by Kublai Khan when they were still children, with the purpose of infiltrating and destroying the dynasty of Ariq Böke's descendants.

Before their departure, Kublai Khan personally gave them both instructions, which were exactly the same as those given by the Prince of Ruyang.

A subject cannot refuse a ruler's command to die, and a commander cannot disobey the Yuan emperor's orders, especially given that the Prince of Ruyang was delaying his return to Dadu and Wang Baobao was strongly urging the emperor to mobilize troops.

The ancient tomb, sealed shut by falling rocks, saw its commander slowly raise his right hand, holding the command flag. With a single stroke, his 200,000-strong army would surge towards the sealed entrance. But tombs are not impenetrable; the onslaught of 200,000 men would inevitably cause damage.

The commander harbored both hopes and expectations. He hoped the Demon Emperor would appear, allowing him to witness his glory. He also hoped his 200,000-strong army could crush the ancient tomb and even capture the Demon Emperor alive. In this way, he would achieve the great feat that even Tolui's three sons had failed to accomplish.

The right hand was raised to its highest point, then paused slightly. All the soldiers held their breath, waiting for the sudden downward swing.

"All troops, prepare!" the commander-in-chief ordered.
