Ten days later, in Jiangnan, at Lujiazhuang.
Lu Wushuang's limp has been completely cured thanks to the Black Jade Broken Leg Ointment. She is now jumping around all day and is very happy.
She used to be unable to run fast, but now she can move freely. She longs for the feeling of being as fast as the wind and begs Lin Bufan to teach her light-body skills.
Lin Bufan agreed to teach her the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).
At the same time, continue to help Wanyan Ping consolidate her Jade Maiden Sword Technique and Purple Cloud Divine Skill.
Xiaolongnu herself knew a bit of the Nine Yin Manual. Lin Bufan configured it for her according to her final achievement in The Return of the Condor Heroes, and taught her Zhou Botong's Ambidextrous Technique and the Seventy-Two Styles of Empty Fist.
Li Mochou and her master Hong Lingbo also benefited, as Lin Bufan taught them the Nine Yin Manual and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.
Li Mochou is no longer obsessed with the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra; instead, she prefers the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and enjoys practicing insidious and evil martial arts.
In ten days, the women's martial arts skills improved greatly. Xiaolongnu broke through to the Grandmaster realm, and Li Mochou also reached the Grandmaster realm.
Wanyan Ping, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo entered the Innate Realm, at the initial stage.
They made rapid progress, which pleased Lin Bufan; at least they were capable of protecting themselves.
That day, Lin Bufan stood atop the high rooftop, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance…
Curious, Little Dragon Girl floated up and stood beside him, looking in the direction he was gazing. She asked, "What are you looking at? Come down for dinner. I cooked today. Guess what we're having?"
Without thinking, Lin Bufan blurted out, "Grilled white-bellied fish and honey."
"Wow, how did you guess that? You were so accurate."
Feeling discouraged, Xiaolongnu asked, "Did you smell the aroma of grilled fish?"
"No, it's just a guess. Whenever you cook, it's always these two dishes. We've eaten them three times already. Long'er, do you not know how to cook anything else?"
"Um...I...I really can't cook."
Little Dragon Girl was a little embarrassed. "In the past, Granny Sun cooked in the Ancient Tomb. After Granny Sun died, Yang Guo took over the cooking. Actually, I didn't really like the food they made. I just liked honey and the grilled fish you made at the bottom of the Valley of Heartbreak."
"So you learned how to grill fish, and you always serve us grilled fish and honey. Oh well, it's really hard on you to cook."
Lin Bufan thought to himself, "I'll just have to eat this."
Some people, however, were unwilling to compromise. Wanyan Ping set up a separate stove, baked a few large flatbreads, and brought them out, looking up at Lin Bufan and asking, "Young master, we northerners like to eat fried flatbreads. I wonder if you like them?"
Lin Bufan sniffed it from a distance; it smelled quite good. He smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, send me a picture."
"What's so great about fried dough sticks? If you want to eat something delicious, eat roast chicken, steamed sea bass, or braised prawns."
Lu Wushuang and her fellow disciple Hong Lingbo came out of the kitchen, each carrying a plate of delicious food.
Little Dragon Girl frowned, feeling provoked; they were doing it on purpose.
"Wushuang, Lingbo, Ping'er, didn't we agree that I would cook today? Why are you all cooking? Don't you want grilled fish and honey?"
The three women stared at each other, then looked up at each other in unison and called out to Little Dragon Girl, "If you don't like it, Miss Dragon, if you can't cook, then don't bother. Try ours instead."
"If you dare to complain about my cooking, I'll beat you up."
Xiaolongnu feigned anger, but her mood actually relaxed, and she flew down to chase after the three women.
The three girls laughed and ran all over the yard, filling the Lu family manor with a joyful atmosphere.
Li Mochou also came out carrying a plate of braised pork with vermicelli. Seeing her junior sister playing with three little girls, she shook her head: "Such an adult is still playing with little girls."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that his junior sister was also a young girl, barely twenty years old.
Li Mochou sighed, flew onto the roof, and stood next to Lin Bufan. "What are you looking at? Try my cooking. It's definitely no worse than those girls'."
"I'm not in the mood to eat."
"You have to eat even if you're not in the mood, or I'll get angry."
Li Mochou doesn't know how to coax people or act coquettishly; she even uses a domineering tone when inviting people to eat.
Lin Bufan reluctantly took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vermicelli, and ate it while pointing to the distance.
"Look over there, there's billowing smoke and dust. There are the banners of the Huashan and Kongtong sects of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Behind them, there are probably the Emei, Wudang, Shaolin, and Kunlun sects as well."
Li Mochou looked over in surprise, then realized something was wrong—it really was true!
"The six major sects want to attack us? You only destroyed the Shaolin Temple of the Northern Song Dynasty, why are they mobilizing so many people, making us look like the public enemy of the martial arts world?"
"Revenge for Shaolin Temple is just an excuse, a way to justify our actions."
Lin Bufan had already seen through everything: "They coveted the martial arts opportunities of the Xiaoyao Sect that I possessed, as well as the Yi Jin Jing, the Nine Yin Manual, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and many other martial arts techniques."
Li Mochou understood.
A single copy of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is enough to drive the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty mad and unleash a reign of terror.
A single copy of the Nine Yin Manual is enough to drive the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty mad, turning them into traitors and murderers, and into fierce sword-fighting contests.
Lin Bufan possessed not only the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual and the Nine Yin Manual, but also the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the Yi Jin Jing, the Star Shifting Technique, and the Northern Darkness Divine Skill…
Possessing a treasure is a crime; you're extraordinary, you're in a tough spot.
Li Mochou felt pity for Lin Bufan, then flew down from the rooftop and called to the women to prepare for battle, as the six major sects were attacking.
"What? The six major sects are attacking my Lu Family Manor?"
Lu Wushuang's eyes widened, almost unable to believe such an absurd thing.
However, the facts were clear: in the blink of an eye, shouts of killing echoed outside the compound, growing ever closer.
The most reckless, and the first to bear the brunt, were Xianyu Tong of the Huashan School and the Five Elders of the Kongtong School, who shouted as they went.
"Lin Bufan, get out here."
"Lin, you great demon, come out here."
"You dared to kill a high-ranking monk from Shaolin Temple and endanger the righteous martial arts world. Today, we will make you pay with your life."
...
"So noisy!"
Lin Bufan flew out of the Lu Family Manor and landed steadily in front of the Huashan Sect and the Kongtong Sect.
When Xianyu Tong, the leader of the Huashan Sect, saw Lin Bufan fly out, he grinned, but his smile was particularly ugly.
He spoke in a transactional tone: "Lin Bufan, you have committed countless murders and your sins are heinous. You should die a hundred times over, but I will spare your life because you are young and naive. As long as you... hehehe... hand over the secret manuals and cultivation formulas of the Nine Yin Manual, the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to me."
Lin Bufan looked at Xianyu Tong coldly, without saying a word.
Seeing his cold attitude, Xianyu Tong immediately frowned and said angrily, "What, you don't trust me? My nickname is Shenjizi, and I am famous in the martial arts world. I am also a prominent figure among the six major sects. Even Master Zhang has to give me some face. If I speak up for you, your life will be safe."
Lin Bufan remained silent.
Xianyu Tong grew even angrier: "Hey, can't you give me some kind of response?"
"No, because I don't want to talk to dead people."
As soon as Lin Bufan finished speaking, a Six Meridians Divine Sword shot out and instantly pierced Xianyu Tong's throat.
The five elders of the Kongtong Sect were shocked and exclaimed, "He killed Xianyu Tong!"
Behind them, members of the Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun sects quickened their pace and rushed over...
