Liu Yi said, "After the third round, only Sun Simiao, Yi Junsheng, and Yi Zhangzhi have passed. We will now begin the fourth round. This wine is called Eternal Sleep, and it has no flavor, like a heart-wrenching poison. Each person only needs to drink a drop. As the name Eternal Sleep suggests, if you drink this wine and fall unconscious, you will never wake up again, but you will not die; you could be in a vegetative state. Therefore, before drinking this wine, you must have a considerable awareness. It is still possible to forfeit now; you three should think carefully. Now, serve the wine." Immediately, two people brought out three cups of wine, each containing only a drop.
At this moment, Yi Zhangzhi said, "I forfeit. My intention was never to win the championship; being able to taste the first three exquisite wines is already a great fortune for me. I am not blessed enough to enjoy this fourth one."
The dazed Yi Junsheng said, "You can forfeit if you want. Otherwise, we might all get drunk and be taken away as human dumplings without even realizing it. But I was born to drink this fourth wine; I must win the championship and obtain the Golden Pig."
The effects of Never Drunk had worn off for Sun Simiao, who prepared to take the second pill. He could not let Yi Junsheng easily obtain the championship. He then took out a pill and placed it in his mouth, saying, "I am ready."
Liu Yi said, "Among the three of you, one has forfeited. It depends on whether Yi Junsheng and Sun Simiao can drink this wine without getting drunk; whoever remains standing will be the champion."
Yi Junsheng said, "I still have my ultimate move left; let me show you what true Wine God power is like." He then took out a silver needle and inserted it into his Yongquan acupoint before drinking a drop of Eternal Sleep. After drinking it all, Yi Junsheng did not fall down.
Sun Simiao also did not back down; he picked up his cup and drank it all in one go. The poison-like Eternal Sleep clashed violently with the effects of the Never Drunk pill. In the end, Eternal Sleep proved to be more powerful, and Sun Simiao fell unconscious.
Liu Yi announced, "The champion of this Drunken Wine Competition is Yi Junsheng. Yi Junsheng will receive the title of Wine God conferred by this tavern and will also receive a Golden Pig. Come here and bring out the Golden Pig." Immediately, two people brought out the Golden Pig and handed it to Liu Yi. Liu Yi presented the Golden Pig to Yi Junsheng's hands. Upon seeing that the Golden Pig was only as big as a fingertip, he was furious and said, "Liu Yi, is this what you call a Golden Pig? Does this Golden Pig even weigh ten grams?"
Liu Yiyan replied, "I never mentioned how big the Golden Pig would be!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng immediately fainted on the ground. Yi Zhangzhi said to Sanwei Daoist, "Please take care of Yi Junsheng; I must take my leave."
The injured Nightmare Demon returned to Martial Bamboo Divine Domain but was met with further misfortune as Wu Sangui arrived at the same time. Seeing that Nightmare Demon was severely injured, Wu Sangui thought there was no better time for revenge; opportunities like this do not come often. He drew his sword and attacked. Facing this sudden assault, Nightmare Demon said, "How can a tiger be bullied when it falls into a lowly position?" He then used his skills to resist. Although Nightmare Demon suffered serious internal injuries, he still had enough strength to counter Wu Sangui's attacks. After exchanging blows for some time, Nightmare Demon began to feel increasingly overwhelmed as signs of defeat emerged. Just then, Nightmare Demon faced a deadly threat again. Iron-Faced Impartial - Bao Qing came in anger; Nightmare Demon found himself in an extremely precarious situation.
Bao Qing's intent to eliminate evil was unquestionable as he joined in attacking Nightmare Demon. Nightmare Demon found himself unable to guard against both fronts and received several more sword wounds on his body. Wu Sangui declared, "Demon, pay with your life for my Divine Bird!" He pointed his sword at Nightmare Demon's heart with the intent to avenge his fallen companion. Just when Nightmare Demon’s life hung by a thread, Yi Zhangzhi returned to Martial Bamboo Divine Domain just in time and angrily struck back at Wu Sangui and Bao Qing with a palm strike. Yi Zhangzhi said, "You dare commit murder in Martial Bamboo Divine Domain? Do you seek peace in the underworld because you find life too noisy?"
Bao Qing replied, "Yi Zhangzhi, your Hua Ti Mian Dao Mo has committed numerous crimes and deserves punishment; we are here to uphold justice on behalf of others. As your true self is involved, you cannot escape responsibility."
Yi Zhangzhi then absorbed the injured Nightmare Demon into his own body and used his own powers to heal him. Yi Zhangzhi asked, "What crime has Nightmare Demon committed that warrants such relentless pursuit from you?"
Wu Sangui replied, "This despicable Demon actually killed my Divine Bird—Phoenix of the Race! Do you know that I spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy that Divine Bird? Is Nightmare Demon not an evil person?"
Yi Zhangzhi asked again, "Do you have any evidence for such claims?"
Wu Sangui responded, "The evidence is as solid as a mountain; moreover, the Demon has admitted himself that he killed my bird! We came here specifically to seek revenge for my Divine Bird."
Yi Zhangzhi said, "Given the personality of Nightmare Demon, it's not surprising to admit to killing the Divine Bird. This alone does not prove that Nightmare Demon is the murderer. Please provide other evidence."
Wu Sangui pointed out that there were no other injuries on Divine Bird besides the attack it suffered. Upon hearing this, Yi Zhangzhi replied, "This matter can be corroborated by Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist. On the day of the Martial Arts Auction, Nightmare Demon used the technique Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels to acquire a knife. The act of killing Divine Bird is likely linked to the person who obtained this technique; you should investigate in this direction."
Bao Qingyun said, "I see, you have a point. I apologize for my rudeness; I will take my leave." He then exited the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Seeing Bao Qingyun leave, Wu Sangui thought it was difficult to gain an advantage alone and also departed.
The next day, before many members of the Martial Arts Community who had passed out at Liu Ling Tavern woke up, Yi Junsheng, who had been knocked out by Liu Yi, was the first to regain consciousness. Yi Junsheng angrily confronted Liu Yiyan: "Liu Yi, your Golden Pig has incited a murderous intent in me! I have been starved for five nights and even went to Zhang Chongqing to seek a secret technique, only to end up with less than ten grams of Golden Pig. How ironic! Liu Yi, I strongly demand that you forge a Golden Pig as large as a table for me; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Liu Yiyan replied, "Yi Junsheng, you are being unreasonable and threatening me. I, Liu, do not fall for such tricks. If you don't want this Golden Pig, then I will take it back." He then reached out towards Yi Junsheng to reclaim the Golden Pig.
Yi Junsheng said, "What do you mean I don't want this Golden Pig? Since that's the case, I will remember this grudge against you. Hmph." He then noticed Yamada Koji standing nearby like a statue, completely motionless. Seeing this, Yi Junsheng remarked, "Isn't that Zombie over there? It seems he won't move without the command of Medicine King Sun Simiao. Sanwei Daoist, hurry up and call someone to move this Zombie."
Sanwei Daoist responded, "Isn't your behavior tantamount to theft? Do you want Medicine King Sun Simiao to hunt you down?"
Yi Junsheng retorted, "There are plenty of people who want to kill me; I'm not worried about just one more. Hurry up and move it."
Liu Yi indignantly declared, "I will not allow anyone to openly steal from others in my tavern."
Yi Junsheng feigned extreme anger and said, "Liu Yi, you still owe me for the Golden Pig; now do you want to add new enmity?" He then took out a giant pair of scissors aimed at Liu Yi. Liu Yi had no choice but to turn a blind eye for his own safety. Sanwei Daoist and several Porters moved Living Dead Yamata Koji onto a cart and left Liu Ling Tavern openly. Shortly after Yi Junsheng and his group departed, Hong Bagong and many beggars who had passed out during the first round of drinking began waking up. Hong Bagong asked, "The wine at Liu Ling Tavern is indeed extraordinary! May I ask who won yesterday's Drunken Wine Competition?"
Liu Yi replied, "It was that thief Yi Junsheng who starved for five nights; he just woke up and started yelling at me while stealing Sun Simiao's Zombie."
Hong Bagong exclaimed, "So it was that scoundrel Yi Junsheng who won the championship! How is that possible?" He then left Liu Ling Tavern with the other beggars.
Moments later, those who had passed out during the second round of yesterday's Drunken Wine Competition gradually woke up. Zhuge Kongming asked, "Three Steps Down truly lives up to its name! May I ask who won the Drunken Wine Competition?"
Liu Yi was unwilling to answer each inquiry individually and wrote on a sign that Yi Junsheng was the champion of the Drunken Wine Competition and posted it at the tavern entrance. Many waking patrons were astonished to learn that Yi Junsheng had won. Fan Buzhao remarked, "This man with no talent for drinking could defeat drunkard Jia Dao and wine lover Li Taibai? It's unbelievable! Surely you didn't notice any cheating on his part?"
Liu Yiyan replied, "Nope, everything was normal."
Not long after, Jia Dao and Li Taibai woke up from their stupor after passing out during the third round of yesterday's Drunken Wine Competition. Jia Dao was momentarily stunned by the sign at the entrance and said, "What? Yi Junsheng won? He must have pulled some kind of trick."
Li Taibai surprisingly defended Yi Junsheng: "Not necessarily; after all, Yi Junsheng came prepared after starving for five nights. It's only natural that we would lose against someone who has been planning for so long."
Jia Dao was very angry and said, "Li Taibai, you are just boosting someone else's confidence while diminishing your own. Yi Junsheng's drinking capacity is even better than mine as a drunkard. Who would believe that?"
At this moment, Li Taibai saw Du Fu and lost the mood to continue debating with Jia Dao. For the sake of Snow Before Shame, he immediately attacked Du Fu. The two began to fight again at Liu Ling Tavern. The many members of the Martial Arts Community, who had just sobered up from their drunkenness, were not in the mood to mediate the battle. The two exchanged blows for several dozen rounds without a clear winner. Suddenly, a scream was heard; it was Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, who had barely survived after taking the Never Drunk pill during the fourth round of the previous day's Drunken Wine Competition. Even Du Fu and Li Taibai, who were fiercely fighting, were stunned into a ceasefire by the scream. Sun Simiao asked, "Where is my Yamada Koji? Who stole it? How despicable!"
Liu Yiyan replied, "Yi Junsheng took your Zombie early this morning. I couldn't stop him."
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately chased after Yi Junsheng without another word. Eastern Proud Dragon, having the same goal as Sun Simiao, also pursued him. At this moment, Zhan Zhao addressed Li Taibai and Du Fu: "You two fighting here is pointless. If you have grievances or hatred, you can go to the Martial Arts Tribunal and ask Chief Justice Bao to mediate."
Li Taibai said to Du Fu, "Fine, I will go to the Judicial Court to sue you."
Du Fu replied, "In that case, I can only accompany you to the end. Let's go." The two then followed Zhan Zhao towards the Judicial Court.
Duanmu Chong had already healed his injuries after becoming a monk at Yun Yin Temple and was preparing to head to Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors for Original and Unique·Dreamy Beauty. The Celibacy Master tried desperately to stop him but it was in vain. At this moment, the Celibacy Master began to regret saving him in the first place. Now that Duanmu Chong intended to re-enter the martial world, it would surely stir up great waves; at that time, countless lives would be lost in the martial world and common people would suffer greatly. Abstaining from Desire would become the root cause of all calamities.
Tension filled the air as Li Taibai and Du Fu were about to face off in court. Would Iron-Faced Impartial be able to make a correct judgment? Would Duanmu Chong seek battle or negotiation with Dreamy Beauty?
