Long Sorrow Song - C66
There were already two corpses lying on the ground. One was Gongsun Yuxia and the other was Lu Li. For people with deep emotions, if they couldn’t live together, then dying together was their best fate. For example, Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi. For example, Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Yingtai. Ye Mo Han liked those two stories very much. When he was young, he also thought that if he couldn’t be together with his beloved, he would become a butterfly and become a butterfly.
Reality was sometimes more cruel than one could imagine. Ye Mo Han thought that he was about to be buried here by himself, and could not help but feel disappointed. Although he did not manage to find the real pavilion master, he had already avenged his parents, and this would not be a wasted life.
What was the point of living if one had nothing to do, had no thoughts, and no motivation to do things? It doesn’t matter how big or small things are. What matters is how much self-worth can be realized. Otherwise, he could only die in his thirties and be buried in his seventies. It was unknown just how many people in the world died in this way.
Gongsun Chun Qiu’s palm wind arrived, but Ye Mo Han suddenly felt it turn around and didn’t hit him. Then, the icy cold and burning feeling disappeared from his body. In the distance, Chi Feng was fighting with Gongsun Chun Qiu. Chi Feng’s palms were like raging fire, releasing a great amount of power, as if he was about to split the sky and earth. The several hundred people present had never seen such an imposing aura before, and didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
In less than a hundred moves, Gongsun Chunqiu had been forced into a state of disarray by Chi Feng. Gongsun Chun Qiu’s arms suddenly bent and intertwined with each other, as if they were twisted and folded by someone, looking extremely strange. Chi Feng froze for a moment. Gongsun Chun Qiu’s arms suddenly grew longer. He was actually as tall as a person. His hands were like hooks as he grabbed towards Chi Feng. The speed of this change surprised Ye Mo Han. Was it also because of the Demonic Art that Gongsun Chun Qiu’s arm suddenly grew longer? Ye Chanhan had once heard his grandfather talk about a lost martial art in the Shaolin Sect called the Altering Muscle Technique. Once it was mastered, one could freely change one’s muscles and bones, and one’s body could also freely shrink. However, no one had been able to learn this martial art since Damocles. Was the Demonic Art Gongsun Chun Qiu was using now the same as Shaolin’s Altering Muscle Technique?
When Chi Feng saw Gongsun Chun Qiu’s palms turn red, he guessed that his fingers were covered in poison. However, the two of them were too close, and the change was too sudden. It was too late for him to retreat. Just as Ye Mo Han was also sweating for Chi Feng, he saw Chi Feng push with his palms, and a wall of fire suddenly appeared between the two of them. As soon as Gongsun Chun Qiu’s palms touched that wall of fire, he let out an ‘ah’ sound.
By the time Gongsun Chun Qiu’s arms had recovered to their original length, most of his palms were charred black, as if they had just been burnt.
Chi Feng looked complacently at Ye Wen and said, “My bed is cold, but which one of my Flame Palm is more powerful than his Godly Demon Art?”
Gongsun Chun Qiu’s underlings looked at their master’s hands and once again surrounded the general. Gongsun Chun Qiu waved his hand and said angrily, “How did you find this place?”
“This is what we had agreed upon long ago. I left the inn by myself just to wait for you to find me.” It turned out that on the night of the inn, Ye Mo Han and Chi Feng had secretly planned things out. Rather than the two of them being restrained in the dark, it was better for Ye Mo Han and Chi Feng to wait for an opportunity.
That night, when Ye Chonglou went with Zhao Chonglou to meet Uncle Dan, he had secretly made a mark along the way so that Chi Feng could follow along after dodging the Kongtong disciples. However, Kongtong’s disciples followed him urgently. When Chi Feng became agitated, they renounced their agreement with Ye Chonglou and ignored him. They killed all the Kongtong disciples who were reluctant to leave, including Gongsun Chun Qiu’s eyes and ears. By the time Chi Feng had followed Ye Mo Han to the thatched cottage in the forest, there were only a few corpses. Ye Mo Han had already been taken away by Gongsun Yuxia.
Chi Feng helplessly returned to the burned down Kongtong Sect. When he saw that there were quite a few Kongtong disciples scattered at the entrance, he grabbed two people to force out the location of Gongsun Chun Qiu’s residence. Gongsun Chun Qiu’s mansion was originally under the influence of the Kongtong Sect, but after the marriage between Ji Yongao and Gongsun Yuxia, it had been given to Gongsun Chun Qiu as a betrothal gift within a radius of five hundred miles. Chi Feng, on the other hand, had been hiding here since three days ago. It was just that Gongsun Chun Qiu’s residence was too big, and the patrolling people were shuttling back and forth. Chi Feng was afraid of alerting the snake by hitting the grass, so he waited for the opportunity to make his move. Today, when he heard the sounds of fighting in the front yard, he hurriedly and quietly rushed over. When Chi Feng saw that Ye Mo Han was unharmed, he felt relieved. He didn’t care about the other deaths, such as Gongsun Yuxia and Lu Li. Seeing Ye Mo Han fight with Gongsun Chun Qiu, Chi Feng was quite interested. He couldn’t help but feel displeased when he saw Ye Mo Han being suppressed by Gongsun Chun Qiu. When he heard Gongsun Chun Qiu say that he was using the Demonic Art, Chi Feng’s competitive spirit rose. It just so happened that Ye Mo Han was in danger. Chi Feng came to the rescue and sent a Raging Flames Blade towards Gongsun Chun Qiu’s back. Gongsun Chun Qiu listened to the wind from behind and anticipated that someone would secretly launch a sneak attack. He abandoned Ye Wen’s cold sheets and turned around to save himself. Gongsun Chun Qiu originally thought that since he had mastered the first level of the Demonic Divine Art, he would be able to defeat all heroes in the world. But after exchanging blows with Chi Feng not long after, he was injured.
“I hid here for three days and finally found you when I returned. It’s a good thing that you’re fine, otherwise I would have committed a great sin.” Chi Feng said apologetically.
Ye Mo Han’s heart was filled with concern for Liu Yiyi. He turned to Gongsun Chun Qiu and said, “Mr. Gongsun, you should hand over Miss Liu.”
Gongsun Chun Qiu said contemptuously, “You guys have the ability to kill over thirty experts of the Martial Arts School. I wonder if you guys have the ability to kill over three hundred of my men, not to mention the five thousand people of the whole village?”
“Gongsun Chun Qiu, do you have more than 5000 people, or do you have more than 30,000 members of my Mo Clan?” A crisp female voice was heard. Ye Wen could tell that it was Mo Xiyan. Thinking about Mo Xi Yan, Ye Mo Han couldn’t help but be moved. He then wondered why Mo Xi was here now, and why she had brought 30,000 people with her.
A group of people surrounded Mo Xi Yan in the front courtyard as they walked in: “Those 5,000 people of yours have already been taken down by my Mo Clan. Gongsun Chun Qiu, it’s time for you to take off that mask of yours and let the world see how disgusting you are.”
“Many years ago, the young miss of the Mo Clan left a long time ago with Feng Rui. Today, she has brought over 30,000 men to save Ye Mo Han.” Gongsun Chun Qiu said with a sneer. In just two short sentences, he had already described Mo Xiyan as a woman with the nature of a flower in water.
When Mo Xi heard these two words, her fair face instantly changed color from anger. When she was young, the first time she met Liang Rufeng, she had indeed been captivated by his white sword and handsome face. However, it was still a girl’s impulse when she was still young. There was nothing else between her and Liang Rufeng. This matter had long been suppressed by Mo Xi’s father, and very few people knew about it. Mo Xi Yan really did not understand how Gongsun Chun Qiu knew about it and told it in front of everyone, especially Ye Mo Han. Mo Xi Yan was so cold that others could tell at a glance. Gongsun Chun Qiu had purposely brought up this matter first, without a doubt, to give Mo Xi Yan a show of might so that she wouldn’t dare to act rashly, lest she speak of other matters.
However, the current Mo Xi Yan was both ashamed and angry. There was clearly nothing going on between him and a good man like the wind, but now that Gongsun Chun Qiu had said it, it seemed like something that could not be seen. Mo Xi Yan secretly glanced at Ye Mo’s cold face, but she could not see the expression on his face. For a moment, she did not know what to do, so she stood there in a daze.
However, one of her followers, an elder, said, “Mr. Gongsun, everyone says that you are of noble character, but now it seems that you are just an average person.”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Wang Zifu, and I have watched the young lady grow up. Although she was a bit naughty when she was young, she has never done anything out of line.” Wang Fu turned his head and looked at Ye Mo Han, and continued, “That matter with Young Master Liang, it’s just like a girl playing house with a young brother. Perhaps Mr. Gongsun is really as the world says, with his moral character being the best in the world, so he can’t stand half a grain of sand in his eyes.
If Liangrou hadn’t taken the initiative to tell Ye Chun Han about the matter between the two of them, and Gongsun Chun Qiu had said those words alone today, Ye Mo Han might have just regarded it as Gongsun Chun Qiu slandering Mo Xi. But adding in the words of a man as good as the wind, it would be difficult for Ye Mo Han not to think too much. Ye Mo Han changed his thoughts. Although he had made contact with Mo Xiyan before, he wasn’t sure if Mo Xiyan really liked him, or if she had a good impression of the opposite sex that they had met by chance.
Did he really have to be so clear about this?
