Last year, when Li Huan was selling boxed lunches at Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain, he asked Zhao Min for "Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment". Zhao Min made a request, asking Li Huan to agree to three conditions.
At the time, Li Huan resolutely refused.
Now that Zhou Zhiruo has made a similar request, how could Li Huan possibly agree?
"I'll grant you three requests? Holy crap, do you think you're Princess Ruyang? You think you're so important?"
After Li Huan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Min.
She smiled sweetly.
Li Huan deliberately mocked, "Besides, I didn't agree to Zhao Min's terms! You, Zhou Zhiruo, are just a disciple of the Emei Sect, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Zhou Zhiruo frowned, looking slightly embarrassed.
Li Huan said sternly, "Zhou Zhiruo! Don't think that just because you're a woman, I'll show you mercy! If you don't hand over the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and the 'Martial Arts Manual of Yue Fei,' I'll let you taste the 'Life and Death Talisman'!"
Instantly, Zhou Zhiruo shuddered and couldn't help but stare at Song Qingshu, who was wailing incessantly.
The guy was trembling all over in pain, his limbs twitching.
With a whoosh, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly drew a white soft whip, staring warily at Li Huan.
"Your 'Life and Death Talisman' is indeed powerful, but I'm afraid you won't have a chance to attack me!"
Li Huan sneered: "What, do you want to commit suicide before I make my move?"
Zhou Zhiruo said, "That's right, I'd rather die than be manipulated by you!"
The "Life and Death Talisman" is all about catching someone off guard. It involves subduing the opponent first or striking them unexpectedly with the "Life and Death Talisman" into their acupoints.
If Zhou Zhiruo had remained steadfast and refused to yield, she could have committed suicide while Li Huan was refining the "Life and Death Talisman," thus avoiding the torment of death.
Li Huan knew that Zhou Zhiruo had a gentle side as well as a resolute side, and she would not surrender easily.
"This vixen stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and seized the martial arts manuals. We must not let her go!"
"So the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword contained unparalleled martial arts and military strategies. No wonder they could command the world!"
"Capture Zhou Zhiruo alive and force her to write down the secret manuals for the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"
...
A chorus of indignant shouts erupted from the crowd, who all glared at Zhou Zhiruo with predatory intent.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Miss Zhou, even if I don't make things difficult for you, all the sects and factions will not let you go! Do you think you can escape today?"
Zhou Zhiruo raised her hand, cracked the soft whip, and said in a stern voice.
"Anyone who wants to die, come at me!"
The scene quieted down a bit.
The power of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw is extraordinary.
Despite their loud pronouncements, some people become cowards the moment they are actually asked to challenge Zhou Zhiruo.
"Surround Zhou Zhiruo!" Mei Shijian shouted.
With a whoosh, the disciples of the Wushan Gang moved swiftly and surrounded Zhou Zhiruo.
Mei Shijian said, "Miss Zhou, I bought the most boxed lunches, so I should have received the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Now that the saber is in your hands, please hand it over obediently, lest it damage the harmony between the Wushan Gang and the Emei Sect!"
There were more than 300 Wushan Gang disciples present, far exceeding the number of Emei Sect members.
Ding Minjun hurriedly said, "Chief Mei, Zhou Zhiruo's theft of the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword has nothing to do with the Emei Sect. The Emei Sect has strict rules and disciples are strictly prohibited from stealing other people's property!"
"Chief Mei, please ask Zhou Zhiruo for the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Our Emei Sect will not protect anyone, nor will we interfere!"
Ding Minjun's words clearly revealed the Emei Sect's stance.
Snap!
Ding Minjun received a resounding slap!
The person who hit him was Abbess Miejue.
"You bastard! I'm not dead yet, who gave you the right to boss me around?"
Abbess Miejue was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged, her eyebrows furrowed.
Ding Minjun covered her left cheek, looking aggrieved.
"Master, you...you can't speak, otherwise you'll get slapped by Leader Li, that's why I..."
Abbess Miejue was startled and instinctively squatted down to avoid being attacked by Li Huan.
To everyone's surprise, Li Huan stood still and did not slap Abbess Miejue's face.
He said with a smile, "Old nun, you did the right thing this time. You should have taught Ding Minjun a lesson, so I won't punish you!"
Abbess Miejue breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
She declared loudly, "Zhiruo took the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword entirely under my orders, and did not violate the rules of the Emei Sect!"
Everyone was shocked!
The old nun actually instigated her female disciple to steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword!
Li Huan understood.
In the original novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Abbess Miejue was imprisoned in the pagoda of Wan'an Temple in Dadu. She told Zhou Zhiruo in detail about the origin of the Dragon Saber and the Heaven Sword and the secrets hidden within them.
Furthermore, Abbess Miejue instructed Zhou Zhiruo to use her beauty to seduce Zhang Wuji and obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword!
Li Huan traveled through time to the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Although he obtained the Heaven Sword, he handed it over to Zhang Wuji before leaving last year.
Therefore, Zhou Zhiruo obeyed Abbess Miejue's orders, used sweet words to win over Zhang Wuji, and took the opportunity to steal the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword...
Li Huan hurriedly asked, "Old nun, now that you have obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and also acquired the martial arts manuals within them, why don't you practice the superior martial arts?"
Abbess Miejue said angrily, "How could I not want to practice? Unfortunately, I was severely injured by you at Bright Peak last year, which greatly depleted my internal energy. Later, when I fell from the pagoda at Wan'an Temple, you struck me again and sent me flying into the sea of fire, causing my old injuries to relapse..."
Li Huan laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I really wanted to save you at the time, but I hit you too hard and didn't control my strength well."
Abbess Miejue said, "Zhiruo is my most trusted disciple. She cleverly helped the Emei Sect retrieve the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword. She is naturally qualified to practice the superior martial arts in the Nine Yin Manual!"
Li Huan asked, "Why don't you practice the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"
Abbess Miejue said, "Zhiruo is a woman, so she is suitable to practice the martial arts of the Nine Yin Manual. I plan to find an outstanding male disciple to practice the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms..."
Li Huan cursed, "Old nun, you're so damn cunning! No wonder you're so arrogant today; it turns out you already possessed the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and helped Zhou Zhiruo master superior martial arts!"
Abbess Miejue continued smugly, "Furthermore, I had already passed the position of Emei Sect Leader to Zhiruo! But Zhiruo refused to accept the position!"
Ding Minjun's expression changed drastically, and her eyes flashed with jealousy and hatred.
Li Huan understood Ding Minjun's thoughts very well. She had long coveted the position of sect leader and always regarded Zhou Zhiruo as a thorn in her side, but unfortunately she had no opportunity to get rid of Zhou Zhiruo.
After all, Abbess Miejue was still alive and always protected Zhou Zhiruo.
Abbess Miejue said, "Zhiruo, with a formidable enemy at hand, will you not agree to let your master succeed you as sect leader?"
Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said, "Master, how could this disciple..."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Mei Shijian shouted. "I don't care who stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber. If they don't give it to me, the Wushan Gang will go on a killing spree!"
Holy crap, that's some serious arrogance!
