The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Although she appeared unfathomable in front of Lan Xiaogu, she actually didn't know much. She was just bold and outspoken, and she wasn't even a theoretically superior person.

Of course, when facing Lan Xiaogu, a complete novice in both theory and practice, she still demonstrated absolute "overpower".

"I see."

Lan Xiaogu nodded repeatedly.

Learned.

Once I've built up enough confidence, I'll give it a try!

After dawn.

"An Qingwan, I'll tell you a secret."

Leng Qingyou kept winking at An Qingwan, who was drinking water.

An Qingwan asked suspiciously, "What secret?"

Leng Qingyou quickly lowered her voice and said, "You previously said that I corrupted Lan Xiaogu, that's clearly slander. Lan Xiaogu was originally..."

An Qingwan suddenly realized: "You've come to complain?"

Leng Qingyou said, "That's right."

An Qingwan asked, "Do you think I believe you, or do I believe Miss Lan?"

Leng Qingyou said, "As the saying goes, one-sided listening leads to ignorance, while listening to both sides leads to enlightenment."

An Qingwan said, "You have quite the knack for talking."

Leng Qingyou said, "Are you listening or not?"

An Qingwan said, "No need. If you try to sow discord again, I'll tickle your feet."

Leng Qingyou was furious: "How can you be like this? What did my foot do to you that you have to treat it like this? Fine, fine, I guess I was blind. You and Lan Xiaogu are just like each other!"

She was so angry she almost fainted.

"You wait! Although we suffered two defeats today, it's nothing serious. I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!"

An Qingwan snorted coldly.

Just as she was about to go do the laundry, Lan Xiaogu rushed back from outside.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"event?"

Even Sikong Tingxue, who was lying in bed feeling so sore and weak like a limp noodle, suddenly poked her head out of the window.

The news that Lan Xiaogu brought was indeed quite astonishing, because what she said was...

"It is rumored that Xie Ji, the Grandmaster and master of Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock, is dead!"

"What?"

An Qingwan was deeply moved.

The death of a Grandmaster was not actually surprising news to her.

In those two months, she witnessed more than one Grandmaster die.

However, Xie Ji's identity was still too special.

Like Jinglun Heavenly Palace, Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock is one of the five righteous sects.

The previous Daoist Master had passed away, and now Xie Ji has also died.

An Qingwan asked, "Who killed him? The Holy Master Cangming?"

Back then, the Holy Master Cangming was chased to the point of having nowhere to go but to the heavens and the earth by the Sword God, Xie Ji, and hundreds of martial arts practitioners, and had no choice but to cross the sea to the Nine Nether Island for refuge.

Lan Xiaogu said, "There are many rumors in the martial arts world, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood. I asked many people, and although most of them said that it was done by the Holy Master Cangming, no one could provide any concrete evidence. All they knew was that Xie Ji died after receiving the visiting card from Yu Miaozhen and the others. He died a terrible death. Almost all of his flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a skin and bones, just like those dried corpses."

An Qingwan frowned.

Such methods of killing do indeed seem to be the work of demons.

At that moment, gasps of surprise rang out from inside the room.

"All sentient beings are my Great Law!"

Everyone looked at Sikong Tingxue.

Sikong Tingxue's face turned deathly pale: "I have seen the Holy Master Cangming use the 'All Beings for My Great Law' to devour those who were consumed by it, and this is how they died!"

An Qingwan said, "So it really was him? To be able to kill Xie Ji without making a sound, just how strong must he be now? It seems that his progress during those ten years on Nine Nether Island was incredibly rapid."

Sikong Tingxue said, "I heard him talk about some things on Jiuyou Island. Jiuyou Island was originally established by people from the Central Plains who were seeking refuge from disaster. Over the past few hundred years, a large number of martial arts practitioners have gone to Jiuyou Island to live in seclusion. They brought with them all kinds of martial arts, so much so that Jiuyou Island has become a sacred place for martial arts. He cultivated diligently there and exchanged skills with various masters from Jiuyou Island. In ten years, he not only learned many wonderful martial arts, but also completely perfected the Great Law of All Beings for Me. According to him, the Great Law of All Beings for Me is now the supreme martial art in the world, far surpassing the Purple Extreme Demon Art."

An Qingwan said, "Now that he has killed Xie Ji, his next step will probably be to take action against the Sword God. But before that, Miao Zhen and Senior Tianjian are in danger, especially Miao Zhen, who was originally going to find Xie Ji."

Sikong Tingxue rolled her eyes at An Qingwan: "Worried about her?"

An Qingwan was in a difficult position.

Of course she was worried about Yu Miaozhen, but she couldn't just abandon Sikong Tingxue to go find Yu Miaozhen.

Sikong Tingxue's place is far from safe.

What if, after she leaves, the Holy Master Cangming returns to find Sikong Tingxue and discovers her weakness?

Sikong Tingxue had fought alongside Yu Miaozhen, so how could she not know what An Qingwan was thinking now?

She is not a willful person after all.

Moreover, to be honest, aside from competing with her for An Qingwan, it was really hard for her to feel any dislike for Yu Miaozhen in any other way.

Having spent so long in a place like the Yin-Yang Sect, a place rife with deceit and treachery, encountering someone like Yu Miaozhen, who had no ill intentions whatsoever, filled Sikong Tingxue with nothing but gratitude.

When she sat with Yu Miaozhen, she even felt that the air she was breathing became fresher.

"Go find Yu Miaozhen, and make sure nothing really happens to her," Sikong Tingxue said.

An Qingwan said, "What about you? You're in danger too."

Sikong Tingxue smiled, her eyes narrowing: "Me? —"

She drawled out the sound.

"Of course I went with you. I learned that the Holy Master Cangming was near Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock, and I was in a hurry to report to him what happened at the Yinji Sect. So it was perfectly reasonable for me to leave Qianzhou in a hurry and go to the Three Wu regions to find him."

It really is.

An Qingwan said, "Then let's pack up quickly."

Sikong Tingxue said, "Wait for me to recover first. I can't get up right now. After I recover, I still need to go back to the temporary residence of the Yinji Sect."

An Qingwan said, "Okay."

While Sikong Tingxue was resting, An Qingwan and Lan Xiaogu planned their route to Jinghua Shuiyuewu.

Jinghua Shuiyuewu, named after the town, is located in Jinling on the shore of Taihu Lake, adjacent to Suzhou.

In the afternoon, the group hurriedly left the temporary residence of the Yinji Sect and headed towards Jinling via Fuzhou, Raozhou, Quzhou, and Hangzhou.

This road is actually quite dangerous.

Several months ago, the Xu family of Huainan and the Thirty-Six Islands raised troops in Huainan and Sanwu respectively, and the two armies almost cut off the connection between Jiangzuo and the Liang court.

Since then, heroes have risen up in the nearby Jiangnan West Road and Minyue region.

These people fought battles everywhere, which in turn gave rise to a large number of bandits.

However, this was no challenge for An Qingwan and the others.

From Qianzhou to Jinling, in just a few days, An Qingwan and her group destroyed more than a dozen mountain strongholds that were committing crimes.

They came and went like the wind, and no one nearby understood what had happened. They only said that the heavenly soldiers and generals were angry and had eliminated the evil bandits.

a few days later.

On the shore of Taihu Lake.

Looking at the Taihu Lake, which is praised in poems as having "a moonlit expanse of thirty thousand hectares," Lan Xiaogu was filled with emotion.

It was here that she had her duel with Yan Hui, also known as Jin Xueyi, and was ambushed and sank to the bottom of the lake.

She thought she would never return to this place of heartbreak.

But as time went by, she returned.

However, she is no longer the same person she was back then.

Things are unpredictable.

Just like the people on the shores of Taihu Lake, they would never have imagined that Xie Ji, who had been a powerful figure in the Wu region for thirty years, would die such a tragic death.

Under the moonlight, a boat was moored at the shore, and two people stepped out from the bow. One was a disciple of Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion, and the other was Yu Miaozhen.

"An Qingwan!"

Upon seeing An Qingwan, Yu Miaozhen immediately jumped off the boat.

He grabbed her and tightened his grip instantly.

I miss you so much.

An Qingwan patted Yu Miaozhen's head: "Alright, alright, everyone else is watching."

Although Yu Miaozhen wasn't shy, she still let go of An Qingwan's hand after she said that.

"Is it just Little Bone who came with you this time? Si... Oh, I see."

Yu Miaozhen looked around and saw Sikong Tingxue, who had already disguised herself, and suddenly understood.

She's not really stupid; of course she understands.

Sikong Tingxue is a member of the Yin-Yang Sect.

If she were to swagger into Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock at this moment, she would likely cause a huge mess.

Thinking of this, Yu Miaozhen decisively avoided the topic of Sikong Tingxue.

Huh?

Leng Qingyou's eyes suddenly lit up.

Previously, when An Qingwan and Sikong Tingxue discussed Yu Miaozhen, she thought that Yu Miaozhen and An Qingwan were just friends.

But now it seems that this is not an ordinary friend, but a "fellow Daoist" like Sikong Tingxue!

Have it.

Since she couldn't find a breakthrough with Lan Xiaogu and Sikong Tingxue, she could definitely find one with Yu Miaozhen.

Leng Qingyou secretly hatched a wicked plan.

Yu Miaozhen, on the other hand, didn't think so much about it. Even when she saw Leng Qingyou, a stranger, she didn't have any strange or excessive reactions.

After exchanging greetings, she sighed and told An Qingwan about the things they had encountered recently.

The Holy Master Cangming has returned with astonishing power, but there are still many in the martial world who are not afraid of him and are willing to join forces to deal with him.

The situation was initially very favorable, but unexpectedly, Xie Ji died at this moment.

"Everyone in the dock is uneasy right now. An Qingwan, your arrival should put their minds at ease. I told them I'm already a Grandmaster, but they don't seem to trust me much and think I'm stupid."

An Qingwan laughed and said, "How could you possibly know how to plan this? They don't understand you at all. Let's go, let's get on the ship first, and we'll talk about it in detail once we're on board."

At the invitation of the disciples of Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock, An Qingwan and the others boarded the large ship.

The news that An Qingwan killed Garuda King and Su Nong has not yet spread, but the story of her wielding a sword to kill enemies on the great river has already spread throughout the martial arts world, and everyone in the martial arts world knows that she is a grandmaster.

The large ship sped along and soon arrived at Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock.

The people in the dock were already waiting at the ferry.

As soon as the boat docked, they immediately came to greet us.

One should naturally treat a Grandmaster with the respect due to a Grandmaster, no matter how young that Grandmaster may be, he is still a Grandmaster after all.

The people of Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock stepped forward to pay their respects.

An Qingwan said, "There's no need for you all to be so polite. Just treat me as an ordinary guest. The situation is urgent right now, so please take me to see Master Xie first."

The people of Mirror Flower Water Moon Dock dared not delay and quickly welcomed An Qingwan to the mourning hall.
