Chapter Eighty-Four: Misfortunes Only

When Miao Rufei heard the news, she was worried about Zhang Qingyun. Why was he not back yet? He tidied up his clothes and thought, “I’ll go and take a look.” He hurried downstairs. Suddenly an arrow shot in through the window and nailed itself to the table in the living room.

Surprised, Miao Rufei lowered her body and looked out the window. Seeing that there was no movement outside, she pressed her finger to the ground and lightly moved to the window sill. She leaned her ear against the window and listened attentively, feeling nothing out of the ordinary. He hurriedly got up and opened the window. He knew that there was someone outside, so he recklessly got up. It was extremely dangerous. He did not know when another arrow would be shot. However, if he were to lie down right under the window, wouldn’t the archer be able to escape easily? With a single glance, he saw a garden outside the window. There was a large peach tree in the middle of the garden, and it was the middle of April. He only saw the peach branches swaying in the wind. His figure had long since disappeared. Only the petals dancing in the wind, he thought to himself, “This person is truly strange, he actually managed to escape with just one arrow. I wonder what his intentions are.” Returning to the table, he saw a small piece of paper tied to the arrow. So this person was here to deliver a letter. He took off the arrow and the note, only to see a few lines of secret words written on it. Looking at it, he put it back in his hand and hurriedly walked towards the door, but before he reached it, the door suddenly creaked and opened. Miao Rufei was so nervous that she could not help but shout out in alarm, “Who is it?” His body quickly retreated, his left leg kicked up a tree as he dashed towards the door. Staring, he saw that it was Zhang Qingyun and Lei Yuting who had entered. Zhang Qingyun’s face was startled as he quickly turned his arm and caught the chair in his hand. “Fei, what’s wrong with you?”

Miao Rufei was overjoyed, but she looked extremely anxious as she said, “Big brother Qingyun, it’s you guys. Something big has happened.” Seeing that Miao Rufei was in such a hurry, Zhang Qingyun did not know what had happened to make him so anxious. It seemed that this matter was extraordinary. She quickly asked, “Fei, what happened?” With a glance, he saw that she was holding a small piece of paper in her hand. “Fei, what are you holding in that piece of paper?” Miao Rufei hurriedly handed the paper over to Zhang Qingyun and said, “Miss Bai was captured by the Tang Sect.”

“Young Hero Zhang,” Zhang Qingyun took the note and hastily opened it, only to find out that Young Hero Zhang was the son of Zhang Anqi, the Lightning Blade, only after a hasty farewell with Young Hero Da Ba Shan, he seemed to be thinking about it. I wanted to see Lu Xiaotian’s treasure, but Miss Bai just so happened to be alone, so I specially invited her to stay in Shu for a few days, hoping that Young Hero Zhang would be lucky enough to be here. After Zhang Qingyun saw this, he became extremely angry. Holding the paper in his hand, he released it. When he did, it had already turned into scraps of paper. You killed my father, but I haven’t even found you to settle the score. Yet, you actually found me first, otherwise, if I, Zhang Qingyun, don’t break your body into pieces, I would not be able to take my surname Zhang. ”

Brother Yun, waiting from the morning until now was all in hopes of finding Miss Bai and finding out about her mother’s situation earlier. But now, after waiting for a whole day, he actually managed to capture Miss Bai. He said, “Tang Jiu is still not giving up on his evil intentions, and is still trying to steal Lu Xiaotian’s treasure.”

This Tang Jiu is really a bad guy, so when are we going to save Miss Bai?” Zhang Qingyun said in a deep voice, “This place is thousands of miles away from Chuan Shu, so it’s best for you to get up as soon as possible. A moment earlier is a minute, and Miss Bai will submit for a moment less. For my sake, Miss Bai was captured by that scoundrel Tang Jiu, I absolutely cannot let her suffer even the slightest bit. If anything goes wrong, how can I feel at ease?

Seeing how anxious Zhang Qingyun was, Lei Qiuting couldn’t help but say, “Brother Yun, you’re not planning to leave tonight are you?” Zhang Qingyun said, “That’s what I wanted to do,” Miao Rufei said worriedly, “How can we do that? Your hand is still injured, aren’t you going to rest for the night?” How can I bear it if I am in a body? ” Zhang Qingyun said, “I am very anxious right now. I wish I could fly to Shu right away and save Miss Bai. The small injury on my hands is nothing.”

Mu Zijun, who was upstairs, heard Zhang Qingyun speaking from the guest hall. He was really concerned about him and hurriedly walked down. “Head senior brother, you’re back.” Why didn’t you come upstairs to rest at such a late hour? Have you eaten?

Zhang Qingyun saw that he had alarmed Mu Jun. He thought that she had suffered a lot these days and could not bear to make her worry for him, so he hurriedly paused and said, “I’ve eaten, Tingting sent it over to me. Son, why haven’t you rested so late?” Mu Zijun said, “We were waiting for the Sect Leader. You didn’t come back at such a late hour, so we were worried.” Zhang Qingyun said, “You, is everyone still resting?”

Mu Zijun said, “That’s right, everyone hasn’t rested yet.” Zhang Qingyun felt a little strange and said, “Child, why haven’t everyone rested yet? Is something the matter?” Since he had nothing better to do, he told everyone about the Sect Leader’s dangers in saving everyone. In order to save everyone, the Sect Leader even gave up on the opportunity to see his mother. When everyone heard this, they got excited and thanked the Sect Leader, but didn’t go to sleep. ”

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing, everyone is just like usual, don’t hold any gratitude. Son, look at yourself, after hearing what you just said, no one wants to rest. Today, everyone has just been cured of the poison, and their bodies have not fully recovered, so everyone should rest up and wait for me to rest up until now.” “Brother Yun, how can you blame Zi Jun? Zi Jun did this out of good intentions.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “I don’t have any intentions of blaming Zi Jun. Let’s go up and take a look,” Mu Zijun said. “I know that senior apprentice sister Lei is so good to us that he risked his life to save everyone. Why would we blame Zi Jun? Senior sister Lei, let’s go up.” Lei Qiuting faintly smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go.”

The four of them went upstairs, and just as they reached the corridor, Senior-apprentice Brother Lin heard the sound and hurriedly came out to greet them. When Senior-apprentice Brother Lin saw that his face was also anxious, he bowed and greeted him, “Sect Leader, you’re back. Is that Miss Bai here?”

They followed him into the house, where everyone was already sitting on stools. When Zhang Qingyun saw Zhang Qingyun come in, everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed, and Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “Everyone quickly sit down, don’t be so serious, go out, there are not so many rules and regulations in here, let everyone worry about me, Qing Yun is very anxious, and will disturb everyone’s rest.”

Senior-apprentice Brother Lin said, “Sect Master, please don’t say it like that. Isn’t this what it means to kill us?” Zhang Qingyun said, “Just now, Fei’er sent a letter from Tang Manju. Miss Bai met with a small accident on the way, and might not be able to come for a few days. I was planning to return to the Green Mountain with everyone, but I’m afraid that it won’t do.”

When Mu Zijun heard that something had happened to Miss Bai, the Sect Leader couldn’t accompany them. He was extremely anxious as he asked, “Sect Leader, what has happened now?” Zhang Qingyun said, “It’s nothing important. Son, no one needs to worry. Go and rest.” “Just now, when I passed by the entrance and saw an arrow shooting from outside the window and nailed it to the table, I took a closer look and saw that there was a small piece of paper tied to the arrow. When I took it off and saw that it was written by Tang Jiu, he had already captured Miss Bai and told Brother Qing Yun to take Lu Xiaotian’s treasure for exchange.” Mu Zijun exclaimed in shock, “He used a flower-like method,” Senior Martial Brother Lin said, “I didn’t expect the Tang Sect’s reputation to be so well-known in Shu to do such a thing.”

Miao Rufei said angrily, “This is called having all kinds of birds in the forest.” “The Tang Sect’s Old Master Tang is said to be an honorable and honorable man in the martial arts world, but there are so many people in the Tang Sect that it is hard to avoid a few scum.” Lei Qiuting said, “But the note clearly stated that we were to go to the Tang Sect in Shu to exchange Lu Xiaotian’s treasure. Maybe this is what Old Master Tang meant. Even Tang Jiu himself wouldn’t have so much guts.” The last time when the Great Ba Mountain stole the Heavenly Jewel, the Tang Sect also produced many experts. This matter may not be as simple as it seems. ”

Although Tang Jiu was sinister and ruthless, his martial arts were mediocre. Alone, he was still not a match for Miss Bai, so he was sure that another expert of the Tang Sect, such as the Tang Sect’s Old Master Tang, would personally intervene in this matter to save Miss Bai. This matter was very thorny.

Senior Martial Brother Lin was also astonished as he said, “The Tang Sect’s hidden weapon, Wu Lin, stepped down alone. The fragrance of flowers and the night rain is something no one in this world can resist. It will be extremely difficult for Sect Leader to save Miss Bai.” Zhang Qingyun had also heard of the Tang Sect’s fragrant night rain. This hidden weapon was tyrannical and powerful, ranked first in the martial arts world. He said, “It seems that in order to save Miss Bai this time, I’ll have to go to the peak of Snowy Peak to borrow the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant from Senior Lu,” Miao Ruofei said, “Big Brother Qingyun, the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant is on you?” Zhang Qingyun said, “I already gave the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant to Senior Lu at the Golden Summit. Fei’er, were you there? “Why would there be such a question?” Miao Rufei had always thought that Zhang Qingyun had the jade dragon and phoenix pendant combined with the white divine sword to open Lu Xiaotian’s secret chamber. If her master wanted to open the secret chamber, both were indispensable. Seeing Zhang Qingyun ask that, he hurriedly replied, “I … I thought that Senior Lu had passed the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant to you. I think you have the confidence to exchange the antidote with Hua Ruyan. And here I thought the jade pendant was in your hands again. No wonder you used an empty box. So that’s what it was, I know. Back then, if you did not take out the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant in time, Senior Lu would have thought that we were demonic disciples who attempted to assassinate her. ”

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “No, this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant belongs to the Lu family, so after meeting Senior Lu, it should have been returned to its original owner. At that time, I wanted to take the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant with me, but who knew that Tang Ju’s incident would have occurred,” Miao Rufei said, “I went to the Golden Summit to borrow the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant, but first I had to go through the peak’s Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation. How can we easily get by? ”

Zhang Qingyun said, “No matter how dangerous the formation is, it’s still dead. It was invented by humans. I don’t believe that I can’t break through that Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation.” Miao Rufei said happily, “Big brother Qingyun, you’ve thought of a way to break this formation.” Zhang Qingyun said, “Not at the moment, but things are done by human means. As long as we have the confidence, we will definitely be able to break that formation.” Miao Rufei said, “Breaking through the nine palaces’ gossip is easy. This formation has lasted for more than twenty years, but we have no way to break it. How can we break it so easily?” Mu Zijun said, “That formation is so dangerous that it can’t even be broken by a lone female hero. Sect Leader, what should we do?”

Zhang Qingyun said, “The Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation’s Willie is extraordinary, but it’s not that amazing. However, I want to make a trip to Shu to see if there is any relation between the Tang Clan and Old Master. I don’t think that the Tang Clan would be willing to do such a thing. “If, in the event that the Tang Sect’s Old Master Tang personally orders Miss Bai to be captured, there really is no other way to save Miss Bai, then we can think of another way to borrow the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant.” Mu Zijun said anxiously, “The Tang Sect’s hidden weapons are vicious. The Sect Leader didn’t bring the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant. Wouldn’t it be extremely dangerous if they found out about it? We can’t allow the Sect Leader to take the risk.”

Zhang Qingyun gently said, “Son, you don’t have to worry. It sounds dangerous, but after thinking about it carefully, there shouldn’t be any big issues.” Mu Zijun shook his head. “Head senior brother, you don’t have to lie to me.” Zhang Qingyun continued, “How am I lying to you? It’s precisely because the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant isn’t in my hands that they are unable to obtain it, so why would they do anything to me?” Mu Zi Jun’s face reddened as he didn’t know what she was thinking, but he heard her continue, “Even so, but Zi Jun is still worried. Zi Jun wants to head out with the Sect Leader.” Zhang Qingyun said, “This is the only option we have. Going to the Tang Sect is dangerous, so how can I let you go? Besides, your body has not fully recovered, so you can’t travel too far.” Also, you have to help me bring the ashes of the previous two leaders of the Dian Cang Sect back to the Dian Cang Mountains. “Therefore, Son, you can’t come with me this time.”

Mu Zi Jun still hadn’t given up. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin’s ability is much greater than mine. Along the way, it’s also senior Apprentice Brother Lin who has been taking care of us all the way here, sending master’s ashes back to the Green Mountain. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is the most suitable candidate. The reason why Miss Bai was captured by the Tang Sect was because we were trapped by Hua Ruyan. Now that she has faced such difficulties, the Divergence Sect would not care about it and would go back to the mountain on their own. Furthermore, you were all injured and no one took care of you all along the way. How could we not be worried? ” Zhang Qingyun didn’t know why his son had to go with him this time. However, this trip was very dangerous and he definitely could not let her take the risk. How could he face the previous generation’s Sect Leader? In a soft voice, she said, “Be good, I will be fine. Be good and go back with everyone.” This trip to the Tang Sect is extremely dangerous. How can I let you take the risk? It’s getting late now, let’s all go and rest. ” When Senior Martial Brother Lin saw the Sect Leader’s troubled expression, he knew that this was also for the sake of the Emperor, so he advised, “Son, listen to Sect Leader. He should leave with Lin shi. If you don’t go back, Master will be angry. ” Mu Zi Jun was depressed. Seeing Lin shi carrying his master out, he couldn’t say anything else. Thus, he could only nod and walk out of the room. However, he had other plans in mind. After everyone bowed to Zhang Qingyun, they went back to their own rooms.
