The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Within the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, the Waves of Passion Technique erupted from Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, and his own power could not suppress the impulsive desires. Murong Yaoxian was confused and did not heed Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism's warning to leave. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism's eyes turned red as he embraced the beauty before him. Murong Yaoxian loved Yi Zhangzhi, not the current form of Yi Zhangzhi embodied by Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, and thus struggled fiercely.
As the saying goes, "The higher the path, the greater the evil." Although Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism was a cultivator, he could only yield to the unprecedented Waves of Passion Technique, and unfortunately, Murong Yaoxian would become a victim of this evil. Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism held Murong Yaoxian tightly, his lips drawing closer to her face. Murong Yaoxian pushed against Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism's head with all her strength, but he grabbed her hand with his other hand, leading to their first kiss. After that kiss, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism's nerves were suddenly triggered, spiraling out of control.
The two were tightly pressed against each other, with Murong Yaoxian's soft curves pressing against Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism's chest. He suddenly felt a light-headed sensation. Desire surged within him as he eagerly tore open Murong Yaoxian's top, revealing a red bodice before his eyes. At that moment, Murong Yaoxian was in tears, crying out, "No, please don't do this to me."
Due to the Red Bodice, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism halted his advances on Murong Yaoxian and pushed her away while suppressing his desires. "Quickly leave, get out of here."
Seeing the beast-like Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism filled her with fear; she picked up her top and prepared to escape the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Just as she was putting on her top, the technique within Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism flared up again. He leaped forward and embraced her once more. This time it was even more frenzied; he quickly tore open Murong Yaoxian’s top again and ripped off the red bodice, placing it over his own face.
At this point, Murong Yaoxian was completely bare from the waist up, her face flushed with shame. After covering his face with the red bodice, Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism said, "Miss Murong, I apologize. The Waves of Passion Technique within me is uncontrollable; I acted inappropriately towards you. Please forgive me. Now please give me your Sword; I need to dispel this technique."
Hearing this, Murong Yaoxian hurriedly ran into the Inner Hall without bothering to put on her top and retrieved her Sword to hand it over to Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism. He held the sword in his right hand and channeled his internal energy into it. The sword tip turned towards the bodice on his face; a sword aura shot forth from the tip directly at the bodice. With a scream, the bodice shattered into pieces as Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism collapsed into dust.
Seeing this, Murong Yaoxian immediately helped him into the Inner Hall where Yi Zhangzhi’s coffin lay. A beam of light shot from within the coffin towards Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism. Stimulated by the light, he awakened and said, "That was close! Thanks to your Red Bodice, Miss Murong; otherwise I would have committed an irreparable mistake."
Only then did Murong Yaoxian realize she was still bare in front of Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism; her face turned red as she rushed to her room to put on clothes before coming back out. She asked, "What exactly happened?"
Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism replied, "I believe it is because after being affected by the technique I exerted myself to resist it; hence my eyes turned red. When I see red objects, it stimulates me and allows me to temporarily suppress my impulses. This way I can channel sword energy into my body to expel the Waves of Passion Technique; I think this is something that even he did not anticipate. Now he is rampantly violating innocent women and killing indiscriminately; I must find a way to stop him. Miss Murong, take care of yourself here; I must leave." He then exited the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
After watching Buddha’s Mysterious Mechanism leave, Murong Yaoxian approached Yi Zhangzhi’s coffin and angrily asked, "Why didn’t you come to save me?" Suddenly a beam of light shot from within the coffin towards her spirit; she smiled and stopped speaking.
Yi Junsheng arrived at Canglong Cave shortly after Gui Gu Zi. Yi Junsheng said: "The supreme leader of the martial world Gui Gu Zhangmen, are you aware that this Celibacy Master has been tormented by you into becoming a great evil? It is time for you to maintain Martial Arts Peace."
Gui Gu Zi replied: "I am already aware of this matter; we are currently researching how to deal with him."
Yi Junsheng asked: "Do you know his origins?"
Lin Bao: "Back in the day, the one who stirred the martial world and shocked countless sects, **Ke Chi Nian, who doesn't know him? Who isn't aware?"
Yi Junsheng performed a respectful gesture and said, "I truly feel ashamed. I entered this world later and haven't heard the story of this great **. Please elaborate."
Lin Bao coughed a few times and said, "Actually, I also heard it from others. Decades ago, ** was notorious across the land, committing heinous acts throughout the Qinling Mountains. He was undoubtedly a major villain of that time. Later, for some unknown reason, he vanished from the martial world. Now it turns out he has become a monk hiding in Yun Yin Temple. If it weren't for capturing the criminal Duanmu Chong this time, we wouldn't know how much longer he would have remained at large."
Yi Junsheng countered, "Even now, ** is still roaming freely. Your words hold no value."
Lin Bao proposed, "We can use Azure Courtesan to lure ** into a trap, and then set up an ambush to capture him."
Gui Gu Zi pondered for a moment and said, "This plan is excellent. Let's proceed quickly."
Lin Bao replied, "Understood."
Yi Junsheng added, "Gui Gu Zhangmen, I believe that group from the Martial Arts Community has informed you that this ** is quite formidable, especially his Waves of Passion Technique. It's truly difficult to guard against. You all need to be prepared; otherwise, you'll end up being tainted by ** as well. I've said all I needed to say; I'm leaving now." He then exited Canglong Cave.
Gui Gu Zi remarked, "** , I want to see just how powerful your Waves of Passion Technique really is."
As soon as Yi Junsheng left Canglong Cave, he encountered Hua Mulan. Thinking that Hua Mulan was again trying to kill him, Yi Junsheng turned to flee. However, Hua Mulan was quicker and intercepted him, saying, "White Face, why are you running?"
Without hesitation, Yi Junsheng replied, "Of course I have to run! Am I supposed to just stand here and let you kill me?"
Hua Mulan: "I'm not here to kill you. I want to ask you: Do you think I'm pretty?"
Without thinking twice, Yi Junsheng answered, "Pretty!"
Hua Mulan said, "Since you have been with me, you must take responsibility and marry me."
Yi Junsheng nearly fainted at her words, saying, "What? You want me to marry you? You know the situation back then; it was you who sought me out to resolve your issue, and I needed a woman to help me as well. We both had our needs; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Besides, there are no feelings between us. How can you expect me to marry you?"
Hua Mulan replied, "So what you're saying is that you don't want to marry me? Well then, for tarnishing my innocence, I can only kill you. Take this!" With that, Hua Mulan lunged at Yi Junsheng with her sword. Faced with the life-threatening crisis, Yi Junsheng pulled out his Wolf Tooth Club to defend himself and then feigned several attacks before turning to run. Seeing this, Hua Mulan chased after him, shouting for him to stop.
Yi Junsheng fled toward the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, but halfway there he encountered Zhuge Kongming and others. Sima Qian, seeing Hua Mulan chasing after Yi Junsheng, blocked his path. Sima Qian declared, "White Face, for the sake of Ruhua's honor, you must die. Prepare to meet your end." With that, he thrust his spear directly at Yi Junsheng. Zhuge Kongming drew his sword to intervene, and as their weapons clashed, the two engaged in dozens of exchanges.
Yi Junsheng shouted, "Stop! Don't fight anymore! What right do you have to kill me, Sima Qian? How did you resolve your own Waves of Passion Technique? Please enlighten everyone."
Sima Qian stammered and was at a loss for words. At that moment, Hua Mulan caught up and pointed her sword at Yi Junsheng. Suddenly, Yi Junsheng exclaimed, "I have decided to marry you, Hua Mulan." As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Mulan's sword halted just before his heart.
Upon hearing this, Sima Qian protested, "No! How can you marry Ruhua! I absolutely disagree."
Yi Junsheng sheathed his Wolf Tooth Club, saying, "I am willing to marry her; Hua Mulan is willing to marry me. What right do you have to disagree, Sima Qian! Hmph!"
Sima Qian publicly stated his position: "I like Ruhua, and I want to marry her. Yi Junsheng, I hope you won't act like Cheng Yaojin."
Hua Mulan responded, "Just because you like me doesn't mean I will marry you. I have already been with Yi Junsheng, so I can only marry him."
Yi Junsheng added, "Sima Qian, did you hear that? Hua Mulan wants to marry me! Are you still not giving up?"
Furious at this revelation, Sima Qian charged at Yi Junsheng. The other members of the Martial Arts Community, seeing this unfold, rushed to intervene. Zhuge Kongming said, "Marriage requires the consent of one's parents and mutual willingness. Both Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan are in agreement; what right do you have as an outsider to question their decision? You like Hua Mulan, but she must also be willing; otherwise, how are you different from those who force their will on others?"
Everyone agreed that Zhuge Kongming made a valid point and began criticizing Sima Qian.
Yi Junsheng said, "Hua Mulan, come back with me to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Let's prepare for our wedding; this time I want a grand celebration with all the martial arts masters in attendance. I want everyone to see Hua Mulan as the bride of honor."
Hua Mulan felt a surge of happiness upon hearing those words, smiling slightly, "Alright, let's go." With that, the two left the scene amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, heading towards the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
Sima Qian's expression was one of obvious disappointment; however, how could he easily give up on the one he loved? Thus, Sima Qian followed Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Lin Bao learned of Ke Chi Nian's whereabouts and set a trap at Cloudy Town, preparing to capture the notorious villain who threatened the martial world. An Azure Courtesan was brought to an inn in the town. Lin Bao said, "He will definitely stay at this inn. When the time comes, it will be up to you. After you succeed, you will receive one hundred taels."
The Azure Courtesan replied, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Moments later, Ke Chi Nian indeed arrived at the inn as Lin Bao had anticipated. At this time, the Azure Courtesan took the initiative to approach him and strike up a conversation. Seeing the alluring figure before him, he wrapped an arm around her waist. The Azure Courtesan sat on his lap and said, "My lord, let me toast you with a drink." She then picked up a cup and jug from the table, poured herself a drink, and downed it in front of him.
Ke Chi Nian said, "How can such good wine be all for you? Come on, pour me a cup too."
Xia Zhouyi was set to marry Shu Heng, and members of the Famous Sword Society were sending out invitations everywhere. Many in the Martial Arts Community received invitations, including Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan who were on their way to Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Yi Junsheng remarked, "Xia Zhouyi's wedding is quite grand; I really want to see it. When it's our turn to get married, our wedding must be more luxurious than Xia Zhouyi's." So Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan headed towards the Famous Sword Society first. Meanwhile, Sima Qian devised a plan and went directly to Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
Tension filled the air. Would Lin Bao's scheme to capture Ke Chi Nian be uncovered? Xia Zhouyi was marrying Shu Heng; many from the Martial Arts Community were heading to congratulate them. What would this wedding be like? What unexpected events might occur? What plans did Sima Qian have to disrupt Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan's marriage?
