"How is this possible?!"

Whale Fall stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock. He had been at the peak of the ninth rank for many years, yet he still couldn't condense sword intent. Lu Li, on the other hand, was only an eighth-rank martial artist, yet he had already condensed sword intent.

Doesn't this mean that Lu Li's martial arts talent far surpasses his?

"Boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, and then a figure was sent flying backward.

"Pfft!" Whale Fall spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly injured.

Blood trickled from the corner of Lu Li's mouth. He wiped the blood away, looked at Kong Chan, and said coldly, "I won!"

An eighth-tier martial artist fought head-on against a peak ninth-tier martial artist, and even made Whale Fall vomit blood. The result was obvious: Lu Li won.

Kong Chan didn't speak, but just stared at Lu Li for a long time, which made the others around her a little uneasy, wondering what Kong Chan would do.

"Good, very good!"

Kong Chan suddenly laughed and said, "In all my years, this is the first time I've encountered a genius as monstrous as you."

Kong Chan had assumed that Lu Li lacked talent for cultivation and had only inherited Guiguzi's strategies and tactics, but he never expected that Lu Li would possess such strength.

Talent? Lu Li's talent in martial arts is not particularly good. Only Gai Nie knows that he has spent most of his time on the Black Ice Platform and practicing swordsmanship over the years.

However, he also displayed his political acumen and strategic skills to the fullest extent.

Gai Nie lost to Kong Chan, while Lu Li defeated Jing Luo.

However, both of them were injured at the moment, with one win and one loss, and were no longer able to fight.

"Lu Li of Guigu is challenging a peak ninth-tier martial artist once again!"

Clearly, a win and a loss is not the answer Lu Li wants.

All he and Jian Chen did was to seek justice for Guiguzi and to show the Hundred Schools that the Guigu lineage was never inferior to others.

Kong Chan sighed and said, "Young man of the Lu family, why are you doing this?"

With a record of one win and one loss, Guigu's strength is already proven enough. If Lu Li insists on determining who is better, it will be difficult for everyone to resolve the situation.

Lu Li is now too weak to fight any longer. If he continues, he will surely perish here.

Then, the Taoist school and Guigu school will have another debt to settle.

Just then, a group of people appeared on Wangwu Mountain.

The leaders were a man and a woman; upon closer inspection, they were none other than Wei Zhuang and Xiao Lu'er.

Following behind them were the outer disciples of Guigu.

They stood in unison behind Lu Li and Gai Nie, and all the Taoist disciples tensed up instantly.

With this kind of formation, does it mean the two factions are about to go to war?

"Why...did you all come?"

Wei Zhuang smiled, stepped forward and said, "We are all Master's disciples, so naturally we must seek justice for Master."

Lu Li saw determination in the eyes of all the outer disciples.

"Guigu Weizhuang, Xiaolu'er... challenge the Taoist masters!"

All the disciples announced their names in unison, their voices seemingly piercing the clouds.

Kong Chan was shocked. He already felt guilty towards Guiguzi, but Feng Jingzi had been gone for many years. However, this debt belonged to the Taoists, and he never intended to deny it.

Otherwise, when Guiguzi asked for Cangwu back then, he wouldn't have given it to him so easily.

"You are all good children. With disciples like you, Old Man Gui has no regrets in this life," Kong Chan said with satisfaction.

"Today, on behalf of the entire Taoist community, I hereby announce the events of that year. For the next ten years, the Taoist community will not engage in worldly affairs. What do you say?"

Upon hearing Kong Chan's words, everyone in the Taoist community was startled.

"Senior brother! This was done by Senior Brother Feng Jingzi, why...?"

Kong Chan waved her hand, interrupting him, and said softly, "Though the person is dead, the debt remains."

Things have come to this point, and the Taoists must give Guigu an explanation.

Previously, due to his relationship with Kongchan, Guiguzi had never told his disciples about his grievances with the Taoists.

"Thank you...senior!"

Lu Li clasped his hands together, and the next moment his vision went black as he fell headfirst downwards. Fortunately, Xiao Lu'er reacted quickly and caught him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Brother Lu!"

"Senior brother!"

Gai Nie stepped forward to examine him and found that Lu Li had suffered serious internal injuries. He had only been putting on a brave face after his attack with Whale Fall.

Kong Chan asked with some concern, "How is the young master from the Lu family? May I take a look at him?"

Little Deer nodded, glanced at Gai Nie, and seeing Gai Nie nod, stepped aside so that Kong Chan could examine him.

In this respect, although both are minor masters, Gai Nie is inferior to Kong Chan. Taoists not only have specialized internal energy cultivation methods, but their healing methods are also weaker than those of physicians.

"My internal energy is disordered, but my blood and qi are surging. What's going on?" Kong Chan frowned.

Logically speaking, Lu Li suffered severe internal injuries, his internal energy was disordered, and his qi and blood should have gradually declined.

He had never seen anything so strange before, and Xiao Lu'er instantly recalled how Lu Li recovered completely in just eight days after being assassinated.

"Senior Brother, the medical people are still in Ghost Valley. Let's go back quickly."

Gai Nie nodded and was about to lead Lu Li down the mountain.

"I have a pill that I refined here. If he shows signs of weakness in his qi and blood on the way, I will give it to him."

After saying that, Kong Chan took out a dark pill from a silver gourd and handed it to Gai Nie.

Thank you!

Guigu's group carried Lu Li down Wangwu Mountain.

"What's wrong with Little Deer? Why won't you let Junior Brother receive treatment at the Taoist temple?"
