Chapter 31: The Abyss

When they arrived downstairs, Yan Sui and the four people he brought were already there, sitting around a table. He waved when he saw Gu Jue.

"Here, Gu Jue, come together."

The people next to them left two empty seats for them, and Gu Jue sat down next to Yan Sui, with Yu Chi beside him.

Perhaps because they didn't know each other, except for Yan Sui, the other four people were obviously reserved.

Yu Chi was calm and composed, eating slowly with chopsticks.

Yan Sui introduced the people around him to Gu Jue, who were originally junior brothers and sisters from the same sect, and followed Yan Sui out.

"This is my old good buddy, Gu Jue, and the one next to him is... uh..."

He didn't know Yu Chi's name and origin.

"This is Yu Chi, I'm his bodyguard."

"Okay, okay... Yu Chi... wait, it can't be, that miracle doctor, right?"

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Yan Sui was a little suspicious, but he was not sure. He thought that miracle doctor would be a person like the breeze and the bright moon, with an immortal style.

This person looks so unforgettable and impressive. No

matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the word miracle doctor.

"I'm a doctor, but not a miracle doctor."

Yu Chi put down his chopsticks.

Yan Sui said "oh" twice, and then chatted with Gu Jue. Gu Jue listened and picked up food for Yu Chi by hand.

He didn't know if it was because of the outsiders, he felt that Yu Chi ate very little.

Yu Chi raised his eyebrows, and he ate whatever Gu Jue picked for him.

They chatted in twos and threes, only Yu Chi was quiet on the side.

Yan Sui and Gu Jue talked about the past, what happened after they separated, and how they met here.

Yan Sui is the third disciple of an elder of Changqingshan Sect. This time he appeared here to take his junior brothers and sisters to Yucheng to participate in the upcoming martial arts conference. The

martial arts conference is planned by the leader of the martial arts world and the major sects, recruiting all kinds of heroes and martial arts masters.

As long as you want to participate, you can participate. If you are noticed by some major sects, they will invite you to join their sect.

But the most rare thing is that heroes from all walks of life gather together to fight and learn from each other. This is a good opportunity to improve yourself.

In addition, the martial arts conference has set up a ring competition, and the top three can win very generous rewards.

"There is still half a month before the martial arts conference. After the martial arts conference, it will be New Year's Eve. This date is arranged quite well."

Gu Jue was fascinated by what he said. After Yan Sui finished speaking, he tilted his head and stared at Yu Chi without saying a word. He just kept staring at him, and two words were written in his eyes. I want to go. Yu Chi finished the last bite and put down his chopsticks. "Want to go?" Gu Jue nodded frantically. I want to go! I want to go very much! "If you want

to go, then go." Yu Chi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Sui beside Gu Jue. "I remember, is there a Baibing Pavilion in Yucheng?" Yan Sui only realized when Gu Jue stared at him that Yu Chi was asking him. "Yes, there is a Baibing Pavilion." He originally planned to take his junior brothers and sisters to have a look. Yu Chi nodded and stood up. "Then I'll go up first. You can chat with your... buddy first. You must have a lot to say." Gu Jue said yes. Yu Chi raised his hand and touched his head, then left. When Yu Chi went upstairs and entered the room, Gu Jue suddenly felt that the people around him relaxed and sat less straight. "Huh, finally leaving. I'm so tired of sitting so straight." The only girl present breathed a sigh of relief, pounded her shoulders, and put her hands on the table. Even when eating, she started eating slowly in small bites and sped up a bit. Gu Jue was puzzled. Yan Sui saw his puzzled look and spread his hands helplessly. "There's no way. When people meet a beauty, they will always be very reserved. After all, they want to show themselves well and leave a good impression on the beauty." Gu Jue's mouth twitched. Looking at the sudden relaxation of the people around him, he thought, you are too reserved. "By the way, Gu Jue, have you heard of Yuan Jie?" Yan Sui suddenly became serious. Gu Jue repeatedly considered the two words Yuan Jie, and finally shook his head. He had never heard of it. "This Yuan Jie appeared sixteen years ago. It is the name of a sword and also the name of a person." "Ah?" How could it be both the name of a sword and a person? "Because no one knows who holds the Yuanjie sword, the person is named after the sword. It is said that this person was originally a killer of the Qiongyu Tower, the first killer organization in the martial arts world, and one of the most famous Qiongyu Nine Blades..." Qiongyu Nine Blades, as the name suggests, are the nine sharpest blades and nine killers of Qiongyu Tower. Many people died under the Yuanjie sword. The wounds left by the Yuanjie sword are also very strange. The wounds are very small, but there is no blood flowing out, and there is no bloodshed. There are many rumors about the Yuanjie sword in the martial arts world. It is said that he has high martial arts skills and his killing methods are clean and neat. There are rumors that Yuanjie is a teenager, and there are also rumors that Yuanjie is a woman. At that time, Yuan Jie's name was well-known in the martial arts world, and Qiong Yu Lou became a well-known killer organization, and people were constantly looking for them. Everyone wanted to hire Yuan Jie, but it was not so easy to afford Yuan Jie, because he never failed, so the fee was very high. But thirteen years ago, it was suddenly reported that Yuan Jie died at the hands of Langchen Sword Yu Su, the most famous master in the martial arts world at that time. So far, the legend of Yuan Jie has come to an end. But the story about Yuan Jie should have ended here, but three years ago, Yuan Jie appeared again. "Didn't he say he was dead? Why did he appear again? Did he steal a corpse?"

Gu Jue frowned. How could a dead person suddenly come back to life?

Yan Sui didn't understand either, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

"Yuan Jie said that he died at the hands of Yu Suo, the Wandering Sword, but no one saw it."

If no one saw it, it proves that this might be false, and it was just hearsay.

"If no one saw it, how did it spread?"

"Yu Suo said it himself. He said that he pierced Yuan Jie's heart with a sword, and Yuan Jie must be dead."

Everyone had almost finished eating by then, and sat together, listening to Yan Sui's story about Yuan Jie.

Because they were listening intently, no one noticed that Yu Chi was sitting lazily on the handrail of the corridor on the second floor. He was also listening.

"Then, he appeared again three years ago. What happened?"

Yan Sui stretched out his hand and gestured in a realistic manner.

"That happened three years ago, the destruction of Qiongyu Tower."

It is said that on a rainy summer night, Yuanjie came back, holding a sword, and returned to Qiongyu Tower.

It was thought that the killer known as the leader of the Qiongyu Nine Blades would return to his position, but in the end...

Yuanjie destroyed the Qiongyu Tower completely with only one person and one sword, not even sparing a dog.

That night, Qiongyu Tower was a river of blood, and corpses piled up like a mountain. The smell of blood was so strong that it could be smelled from miles away.

This incident was discovered the next day. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The blood seeped into the ground and did not disappear for a month. Judging from the wounds on the corpses in Qiongyu Tower.

It was indeed the Yuanjie Sword.

From then on, there was no Qiongyu Tower in the martial arts world.

"That's not right. Didn't they say that the Yuanjie Sword can kill without bloodshed? How could there be a river of blood?"

The little apprentice sister asked a soul-torturing question, and Yan Sui was speechless for a moment. He heard this, and he actually wanted to know why.

But the old site of the Qiongyu Tower was indeed stained with blood, and for a long time, people could smell the blood when passing by.

"That's because the Yuanjie Sword's cultivation method is of cold nature. The reason for the bloodless battle is that the wound was frozen and the blood couldn't flow out."

Yu Chi's voice came down from the upper floor, causing everyone to look up at him, and the little apprentice sister and the others sat up straight again.

"Could it be that the reason for the blood flowing like a river is that the frozen wound has melted, so the blood is flowing out again?"

"Smart."

Yu Chi looked at Gu Jue with admiration. It was indeed the case.

"Then how did you know all this, young master?"

Yan Sui was puzzled. After all, he had heard a lot of rumors about Qiong Yu Lou in the past three years, and there were many strange explanations for the saying that the blood flowed like a river.

But such a small and deep wound can only be caused by the Yuanjie Sword.

Yu Chi yawned.

"Because I was there when the bloody incident at Qiong Yu Lou happened. Moreover, not all the people in Qiong Yu Lou were killed. Not even a dog was spared. It is simply a rumor."

"Were you there!?"
