Chapter 3, Transformation

Inside the secret conference hall of the Anti-Shenzhou Alliance headquarters, there are a total of eight people, including Yi Yun. Outside the conference hall, three circles of alliance experts are on guard fifty steps away, indicating that a matter of great significance is underway

Yiyun tore off a corner of the quilt to cover the wound and prevent bloodstains. With a pale face, she pushed her lightness skill to the limit and flipped into the villa. Leaning against the wall, she carefully observed her surroundings to confirm that no one was present before rushing back to her residence and placing Xiaolin down. Sha, with a tense expression, applied medicine to Yiyun's wound to stop the bleeding and bandaged it. Enduring the pain, Yiyun said in a low voice: "Sha, I trouble you to put the Diamond Sword and Xiaolin into the left side of the cabinet, open the right side of the cabinet door, and shatter the night clothes and the blood-stained towel with your internal energy!" Sha nodded and hurriedly followed Yiyun's instructions to get everything ready. He took out a complete golden thread dress from the cabinet for Yiyun to change into, and then retrieved makeup supplies to cover Yiyun's pale face and lips. Sha removed his outer robe and helped Yiyun extinguish the lamp and lie down. Yiyun seized the time to cultivate and heal her injuries, striving to restore her basic mobility as soon as possible.

After exchanging a few words with her senior sister, Xiaolongnv, Shijiansha quietly walked over from one side of the conference hall to sit beside Yiyun. Given that their relationship was already well-known among the leaders of the alliance, there was no longer any need for pretense, and at this moment, no one paid attention to such a commonplace occurrence. Shijiansha leaned close to Yiyun's ear and whispered, "Did you kill them?" Her tone revealed a considerable emotional agitation, and Yiyun subtly nodded. Shijiansha was immediately taken aback, sitting quietly beside her without speaking further. Shijiansha leaned close to Yiyun's ear and whispered, "Did you kill them?" Her tone revealed a considerable emotional agitation, and Yiyun subtly nodded. Shijiansha was immediately taken aback, sitting quietly beside her without speaking further.

Sha furrowed his brow and said, "But what do you plan to do about the attitude they expressed today? In terms of truly winning the hearts of the people within the villa, Gu Jian is far superior to you. If you completely ignore it, it is difficult to predict what might happen." Yi Yun chuckled softly, "Sha, just say it directly, it is very likely that under the instigation of the villa members, Gu Jian will lead a rebellion. When 4/5 of the members in the gang collectively submit a request to dismiss the villa master, the system will automatically remove me from office. Are you worried about this? Don't worry, they may feel dissatisfied, but as long as I am here, Gu Jian absolutely does not have the courage to rebel. Even if we take a step back and say, what if it really happens? I don't care at all. Over the years, I have continuously transferred the villa's income into my private bank account on a regular basis. Even if I leave Gu Yue Villa, we will still live comfortably and pleasantly."

A month later, the leader of the Anti-Alliance stormed into the headquarters, furious. "I request the alliance leader and all the gang leaders to uphold justice! The master of Guyue Villa has actually incited his disciples to monopolize a batch of wool fabric that our gang desperately needs, and he has arrogantly occupied the sheep respawn point that our gang has long held. Now, over seven thousand brothers in the gang are waiting for wool fabric to make equipment. I find it utterly unacceptable that the master behaves so tyrannically. If it weren't for the fact that we are all part of the Anti-Alliance, I would have resolved this with force long ago." Heartbroken and distressed, he furrowed his brow. In the past half month, this was already the third gang to complain about Yi Yun's domineering behavior. The first two gangs were not too serious, as they merely had their goods preemptively purchased by Yi Yun. After some negotiation, a slight concession on Yi Yun's pricing led to a satisfactory resolution. However, this time it involved the territory of material collection belonging to the gang itself, and Yi Yun actually dared to reach out. It was likely that he would not easily relinquish it. Heartbroken and distressed, he felt helpless. Yi Yun was indeed a peculiar person, not only disregarding others' faces but also unafraid of offending people. Due to the connections behind Yue'er, it was impossible to disregard her face and take action against him without a significant mistake.

With a light laugh, she continued the conversation: "Heavenly God Leader, am I holding a sword to your neck to force you to buy my wool fabric? I have reviewed the regulations of the alliance and could not find a single clause stating that the Southern Second Wool Collection Area belongs to the Heavenly God Guild. If I have overlooked something, please point it out for me to see. If there is none, how can I, as the leader of the guild, order my members to refrain from working hard to collect wool and create benefits for our guild?"

With a somewhat regretful shake of the head, he said with a hint of sorrow: "Then it seems we must resort to tearing our faces apart. There is one condition for the exchange, and I believe you will only agree to it. You must offer the lives of everyone in this small town, as well as the honor of your wife, in exchange. To be more explicit, if you do not agree, I will severely injure you, incapacitate your wife's acupoints, and then throw her into the most notorious brothel to serve customers for free." "Impudent brat! Don't think that just because we are afraid of you as a couple, we will back down. Let us see what abilities you possess to dare speak so arrogantly!" The wife of Yunyu Jian was instantly enraged, and Yunyu Jian's tone also turned grave as he coldly said: "My friend, why must you force us so? We have withdrawn from the martial world for over thirty years. This pearl indeed holds great sentimental value for us; otherwise, what harm would it be to give it to you?"

Retreating from the martial world... Hehehe, you two have spent quite a few years rolling in the martial world, do you not understand the principle of bearing the consequences of your actions? Just because you say you are retreating, do you think everything is over? The current martial world is no longer the one you once knew. Do not think that just because you were once renowned, and I come alone, you have me at your mercy. You have neglected your martial skills for so many years, and at this moment, you are simply not my match. Do you really have to be injured by my hand before you accept my final terms of exchange? The current martial world is no longer the one you once knew. Do not think that just because you were once renowned, and I come alone, you have me at your mercy. You have neglected your martial skills for so many years, and at this moment, you are simply not my match. Do you really have to be injured by my hand before you accept my final terms of exchange?

In the midst of the lively atmosphere, Hai raised his cup towards Sha and said: "Madam Master, could you reveal what the Master’s next plan is? With the current strength of our manor, if we put in a little more effort, it won’t be long before we can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Spirit Valley, Huashan Society, and the Diamond Alliance." Hai had joined the manor for over a year, and due to his remarkable achievements, he had been promoted to the position of Chief Incense Master in a short time. He was responsible for all thirty-six Incense Masters of the manor, and as soon as he spoke, a chorus of agreement arose. Sha was momentarily taken aback, but then she saw Gu Jian also speak up: "Indeed, Madam Master, I believe that with the Master’s abilities and strength, along with everyone’s unity, we will soon elevate the manor to new heights. Everyone in the manor is filled with enthusiasm; as long as the Master gives the order, there will definitely be no second voice that does not fully support it!"

Section 7, Brewing

With a seemingly light stomp of her right foot, Yi Yun caused the small stones on the ground to be instantly shaken off the ground. She casually grabbed a few that had popped out, and immediately the acupoints of the wife of the Cloud Rain Sword were released. Without looking back, Yi Yun activated her lightness skill and leaped over the river, speeding away into the distance

Sha opened his eyes wide, looking at Yi Yun in disbelief, "Yi Yun, I really don't know how to greet you. How could someone in your position, as the master of the manor, do such things? Once the people in the manor find out, who would still respect you? Does Gu Jian know?" Yi Yun smiled dismissively and replied, "How could he not know? However, he has consciously categorized that sum of money as necessary funds for establishing the secret guard of the manor master, so there are no objections within the manor. Moreover, I am taking what I am entitled to; I don't see anything wrong with that. Does Gu Jian know?" Yi Yun smiled dismissively and replied, "How could he not know? However, he has consciously categorized that sum of money as necessary funds for establishing the secret guard of the manor master, so there are no objections within the manor. Moreover, I am taking what I am entitled to; I don't see anything wrong with that. I am not that kind of great leader, nor do I want to be a fool. I have done my best for the manor, but I will never be selfless. I once read in ancient texts that the older people get, the more they are obsessed with wealth, because only the old understand that whether it is fame or power, at a certain point, one will inevitably lose it. Only real money is the foundation for ensuring a comfortable life. Of course, I have to plan for the future; I can't let you go with me to Dali to farm for a living, can I? Hehehe..." Sha couldn't help but smile at Yi Yun's childlike expression. Although he couldn't fully agree with Yi Yun's words, he felt that it was not unreasonable for her to take the manor's wealth, as everything in the manor could be said to have been created by Yi Yun herself. At the same time, he also understood how the astonishing number of four substitute dolls in his warehouse came to be.

With a rhythmic gaze, I looked out at the small town, where a clear river, over ten meters wide, flowed alongside. The town was evidently populated by farmers, who were now entering the village in small groups, tools in hand. Judging by its scale, this small town likely had a population of several thousand. To seek out the Cloud and Rain Sword, which deliberately concealed its name and martial arts, merely inquiring would prove quite laborious. Suddenly, I let out a loud shout, instantly drawing the attention of the crowd that had yet to enter the village. I leaped into the air, descending towards the center of the river, and with a powerful stomp of my feet on the water's surface, two columns of water nearly three meters in diameter shot up into the sky, soaring over thirty meters high before falling back down. Meanwhile, I had already flipped and landed steadily by the riverbank, closing my eyes to enter a meditative state, standing quietly. The crowd at the village entrance watched me, murmuring among themselves about something, and after a considerable time, they dispersed and left for the small town. I stood straight by the riverbank, my body emanating a faint red glow as I immersed myself in the realm of self-cultivation. Rather than me inquiring, it would be better for you to come find me.

Gradually, the moon rose slightly, and the sky darkened. The figure of Yi Yun, glowing faintly with a red light, stood out particularly against the night. At this moment, in the small town, a man and a woman, each holding a weapon, slowly approached Yi Yun. When they were about ten zhang away, Yi Yun slowly opened her eyes. The man had a resolute expression and was quite tall, while the woman beside him appeared exceptionally charming. The man cupped his fists towards Yi Yun and asked, "May I ask who you are?" Yi Yun replied calmly, "That is not important. First of all, I am not here to seek revenge on you; my purpose for coming is solely for the Blue Calyx Pearl. I can purchase it or exchange it for other items. If you are adamant about not selling, I will resort to extreme measures."

At this moment, Jingang spoke up: "Master Yi, your words seem to be excessive." "Elder Jingang, I am merely making a suggestion; the Heavenly God Association can completely refuse it. It is only to ensure that the more than 7,000 members of the Heavenly God Association have a better life." The leader of the Heavenly God Association was now so furious that he laughed, "Well, Master Yi, it turns out that your ultimate goal in doing all these things is to swallow our association. It's simply laughable. With just over 4,000 people from Guyue Villa, you want to swallow more than 7,000 members of the Heavenly God Association? I wonder if there is something wrong with Master Yi's brain."

The martial world is once again stirred by turmoil. Shortly after the bloody aftermath of the Anti-Shenzhou Alliance and the Shenzhou Gang, a certain task group unexpectedly discovered clues regarding the burial site of the ancient Ten Divine Weapons after completing a mission. Subsequently, this task group secretly organized friends several times to seek the treasure, but due to a severe lack of strength, they were unable to enter the underground tomb. In desperation, the task group decided to sell the information to the Anti-Shenzhou Alliance. The heartbroken and determined leader placed great importance on this information and allocated 200 million taels of silver from within the alliance to purchase it. However, just a few days later, experts from the Shenzhou Gang captured the task group and subjected them to severe torture for several days without success. Ultimately, the task group collectively chose to commit suicide and be reborn. Various rumors and news about the Ten Divine Weapons spread throughout the martial world, igniting a wave of treasure hunting and a surge in book sales.

Section 9, The Treasure Hunt

He spoke in a gentle tone: "I understand now, you may leave." Gu Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had lost his composure; he quickly responded and took his leave.

"Why?" Sha could not help but ask eagerly as he got on the carriage, "Recently, the affairs of the manor have been increasing, and the reports to me have become more frequent. I am growing increasingly annoyed, but I owe a debt to Guyue Manor, and I do not wish to owe them anything. However, I cannot continue to drag this out. Only in this way can I expand the manor several times in the shortest time possible, and after spending another year or two to stabilize it completely, I can then let go without any concerns. Ha, the agents agreed upon by the two factions each took fifty million taels of silver from me." Yiyun paused, "Only in this way can I expand the manor several times in the shortest time possible, and after spending another year or two to stabilize it completely, I can then let go without any concerns. Ha, the agents agreed upon by the two factions each took fifty million taels of silver from me." Yiyun paused, staring at Sha, "If you think I am too ruthless, then there is nothing I can do. The higher my martial arts, the less valuable insignificant people become in my eyes. I do not believe that crushing a few ants is a serious crime. If one day someone crushes me, I would also think that I deserved to die. Moreover, given my current status, as long as it benefits the manor, I have already done countless despicable things." Sha hurriedly said, "I do not think that way; I am just afraid that you might become addicted to the feelings that power brings and cannot extricate yourself." Upon hearing this, Yiyun chuckled softly, "You can rest assured; I have no interest at all. I just want to stabilize the manor as soon as possible and then leave, of course, taking you with me." After saying this, Yiyun smiled, closed her eyes, and sank into a state of selflessness, while Sha left with a hint of joy.

Cold and aloof, Shuangxin could not help but laugh inwardly. This rhyme is truly remarkable; this is already the third time for such a matter. Each time, it is filled with unreasonable claims intertwined with irrefutable logic. However, it must be said that he is indeed a unique individual. It is just that one cannot ascertain his skills; otherwise, consideration could be given to placing Guyue Villa under the direct jurisdiction of Xianling Valley.

Running wildly in rhythm, my heart is filled with an unnamed restlessness. I am torn by the conflicting feelings towards the two individuals, further stirred by their attitudes. Is it possible to retreat from the martial world? After defeating the Blood Blade and the Heartbreak, how many more events will unfold during this time? If something happens to Xiao Lin, or to Ba Tian, can I remain indifferent? And what about my countless senior and junior sisters, as close as siblings? Can I ignore their troubles? ... Entering the martial world is easy, but leaving it is exceedingly difficult ...! ... For within the martial world, there is an unavoidable hatred, and there is love, along with the debts of gratitude that you can never fully repay! And what about my countless senior and junior sisters, as close as siblings? Can I ignore their troubles? ... Entering the martial world is easy, but leaving it is exceedingly difficult ...! ... For within the martial world, there is an unavoidable hatred, and there is love, along with the debts of gratitude that you can never fully repay!

With a dismissive smile, he said, "That is not quite right. I am merely offering two suggestions. Since we are all factions opposing the alliance, how can we turn against each other? Given that this establishment has not violated any alliance regulations, and the business negotiations are at a standstill, if there is nothing else for everyone, I shall take my leave for now"

The leader of the Heavenly God Gang exclaimed loudly at this moment: "Please hold on! I admit my defeat wholeheartedly, but I still want to ask, why target the Heavenly God Gang?" As Yuyun walked out of the hall without looking back, she replied in a deep voice: "Those who insult others will surely be insulted in return"

After finally calming the emotions of several junior sisters, Sha bid farewell to them and got into the carriage. He let out a sigh of relief as he sat down beside Yi Yun, simultaneously signaling the disciple from the manor to set off. Only then did he turn to Yi Yun and say with a hint of apology: "I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable in such a scene." Yi Yun opened her eyes, smiled slightly, and replied softly: "It’s nothing, I just found it too noisy."

Not long after the two lay down, they suddenly heard a distant sound of conversation coming from the gate of the villa. Yi Yun collected her thoughts and stood up beside the wardrobe. Almost simultaneously, the door was violently pushed open, causing Sha to scream and wrap the blanket more tightly around her body.

At this moment, Gu Jian walked to the lower left side of Sha and sat down, whispering: "Madam, recently there has been quite a stir in the martial world regarding the matter of the Ten Divine Weapons. It is said that the upper echelons of our alliance truly hold the information, and if a treasure hunt were to take place, there would surely be a share for the owner of the estate, right?" Sha Wanran smiled slightly and replied: "How can we know at this moment? Ultimately, it is a matter decided by the alliance leader and the two vice leaders." Gu Jian nodded in understanding and continued: "The owner of the estate must be included. Given the owner's martial prowess and the current standing of our estate within the alliance, if even the owner is deemed unqualified to participate, would that not be disregarding the entire Guyue Manor?" Sha smiled faintly but did not respond, feeling an inexplicable restlessness in her heart, and the pleasant and lively feeling she had just shared with the members of the manor had completely vanished.

At the intersection ahead, we will part ways, and I hope everyone has a smooth journey. The three of them nodded to each other to take care and hurried off in different directions. Yi Yun's target is the Blue Calyx Pearl, which, according to the collected clues, was possessed by the renowned Huashan master, Yun Yu Jian, thirty-seven years ago. This person has been living in seclusion in a small town outside Yangzhou since he and his wife retreated from the world thirty-seven years ago.

Section 3, The Momentum of Prosperity

Three men, under the charming words of Yi Yun, happily took out banknotes to buy clothes and left excitedly. Yi Yun did not feel that the money was insufficient at all; her heart was filled with the joy of selling equipment. "It turns out I am still the same as before, I haven't changed much, and I still thoroughly enjoy this sense of achievement," Yi Yun secretly laughed at herself while tirelessly promoting her goods. Yi Yun's stall was quite close to the entrance of the auction house, and at that moment, a woman was being escorted in by six guards. Yi Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly pulled out an item from her backpack. This item shone brilliantly, displaying a colorful appearance, seemingly made of crystal. Yi Yun raised her voice and called out to the group entering, "That beautiful young lady over there, please hold on!"

Suddenly exerting a force as heavy as a thousand pounds, the tree branch was instantly bent by the immense power. Relying on the elasticity of the branch, Yi Yun leaped towards the attic in a single bound, performing a series of agile steps and a somersault, landing steadily by a window on the highest floor of the attic. Looking around, she noticed that no patrolling guards had discovered her. Channeling a surge of internal energy, she broke the window latch and slipped inside through the window. Her feet landed silently on the floor of the attic, and she listened carefully to the sounds around her. There were four guards on the first floor, and Xiao Lin's resting place must also be on the first floor; otherwise, the guards' deployment would be entirely unnecessary. Yi Yun listened intently to the sounds from below and cautiously approached the staircase. With Yi Yun's lightness skill, it was impossible for these guards, who only possessed basic martial arts at level 60, to detect her. The attic staircase had only one turn, and there was a faint light on the first floor. Yi Yun's line of sight was directly facing the main door, which was tightly closed at that moment, and both room doors were also shut, yet no sign of the guards could be seen. It seemed that behind the staircase, she must strike decisively, taking a gamble on her luck. If the release of her internal energy ultimately alerted Mie Shen and Long Jian, there would be nothing she could do about it. Yi Yun activated her lightness skill, propelling herself forward with a sudden burst, using one foot to push off the side of the staircase, and she immediately lunged towards the back of the staircase on the first floor. While still in the air, before she landed, she raised her sword and unleashed a swirling sword aura, causing the four guards to be struck down before they could even make a sound, their meridians severed and lifeless. Having successfully struck down the guards, Yi Yun immediately concealed her presence and pushed open the door behind the guards. Even without sufficient light, her internal energy allowed her to roughly discern the situation inside the room.

Chapter 5: Heart-to-Heart Conversations in the Carriage

Heartbroken and in despair, he suddenly shouted: "Master Yi, this is going too far. One should at least leave a way out for the Heavenly Gods. Even if it is just half of the Southern 2 Wool Collection Area, it would suffice."

The various gang leaders, upon hearing Yi Yun's words, could not help but shake their heads and smile wryly, all aware that this had already been turned into a messy account by Yi Yun, from which no right or wrong could be extracted. The leader of the Heavenly God Gang, his face pale with anger, found himself at a loss for words to refute, repeatedly pointing at Yi Yun and stammering "you, you, you".

Sha looked at Yi Yun, who suddenly turned around, and with a very serious expression, said to him: "Sha, I understand your feelings. However, I cannot do so now. One day in the future, I will definitely leave Guyue Villa. If I can safely reach that time, and your feelings remain unchanged, please allow me to take care of you then!" Yi Yun's words left Sha feeling dizzy; he never expected Yi Yun to suddenly express such straightforward sentiments. He turned his head to avoid Yi Yun's gaze and softly said: "What are you talking about? Can you be a bit clearer?" If I can safely reach that time, and your feelings remain unchanged, please allow me to take care of you then!" Yi Yun's words left Sha feeling dizzy; he never expected Yi Yun to suddenly express such straightforward sentiments. He turned his head to avoid Yi Yun's gaze and softly said: "What are you talking about? Can you be a bit clearer?"

"I will give you five days to prepare, and we shall meet again in five days. I will take my leave now, farewell to you all." With a swift turn, holding the wooden sword firmly in hand, long hair gently swaying, he strode away, a hint of a smile lingering at the corner of his mouth

Section 2, Deception at Sea

Gu Jian hurriedly stepped into Yi Yun's residence and saluted, saying: "Zhuang Master, a major incident has occurred. The Seventh Elder and the Gang Leader of the Qilian Gang were both assassinated last night. The President of the Tianhe Association, along with the Third Elder and the Vice President, also met the same fate. The assailants were ruthless, and several of their wives and husbands were killed in the attack as well. Now, their internal situation is in chaos, and the alliance is about to hold an emergency meeting to arrange for the takeover and investigation of the assailants. These two gangs are the closest to our mountain villa and have always cooperated closely with each other. This could greatly impact our villa's business and the progress of our members' training. The alliance leader has sent someone to request that the Zhuang Master hurry over to attend the meeting."

At this moment, Qingyi inquired, "But with just the two of us, it seems we cannot possibly hinder Xiao Dao for even a moment. What if Xiao Dao abandons us and directly pursues Lord Leng?" Yiyun confidently smiled and replied, "No, the two of us can definitely hold Xiao Dao off for at least half a quarter of an hour! Moreover, I bet that Xiao Dao, in learning the Dugu Nine Swords, must have joined the Huashan Sect! Due to the conflict between righteousness and evil, Xiao Dao originally belonged to the Blood Knife Sect, and even if he were to betray the sect, he could not possibly be accepted by the Huashan Sect. This is precisely why he had to commit suicide and be reborn. Furthermore, I bet that Xiao Dao, in learning the Dugu Nine Swords, must have joined the Huashan Sect! Because of the conflict between righteousness and evil, Xiao Dao originally belonged to the Blood Knife Sect, and even if he were to betray the sect, he could not possibly be accepted by the Huashan Sect. This is precisely why he had to commit suicide and be reborn. Therefore, with the lightness skill of the Huashan Sect, even if it is Xiao Dao, I am confident that he cannot surpass the three of us by much. From the tomb back to the capital's alliance headquarters, if we exert our full strength in lightness skill, it will take no more than four hours. With all the delays, Lord Leng will definitely be able to return to the alliance. As long as the divine weapon is placed in the alliance's warehouse, unless the entire alliance is exterminated, Xiao Dao, no matter how strong, will have no way to intervene. Moreover, there is another arrangement, which is the reason you may find difficult to accept: to send a group of third-rate experts to lead a large number of members drawn from various major factions within the alliance to attack the headquarters of the Shenzhou Gang. This is a battle destined for death, but the purpose is to force the experts of the Shenzhou Gang, aside from Xiao Dao, to have to divert manpower back for defense. They would never think that we are sending people to their deaths; they would only assume we intend to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, once we break through, we will not need to face the interception of the Shenzhou Gang's experts who no longer exist.

Apart from the five individuals, namely the heartbroken and cold Frost, the indomitable Vajra, the Dragon Sword, and Mhetushucom, the other three present are the foremost expert of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Xiaolongnv, the top expert of the Emei Sect, Qingyi, and the master of Guyue Villa, Yiyun. The invitation to Yiyun was a decision made after careful consideration. After all, the foremost expert of the Wudang Sect should be Xiaolang. However, considering that Guyue Villa has already become the fifth largest faction in the martial world, its status within the alliance is already significant. In comparison, the influence and financial power represented by Xiaolang's faction are relatively inferior. Moreover, in this mission, individual combat capability is extremely important. Xiaolang's Taiji Swordsmanship is indeed somewhat lacking in speed, and in times of crisis, it is impossible for everyone to create opportunities for him to execute his moves.

With a heavy heart, he said: "Today, I have called everyone here with great seriousness, and I believe you all have a vague idea of the purpose. Indeed, it concerns the matter of the Ten Divine Weapons. I, along with the Cold Valley Master, the Diamond Alliance Leader, and Long Jian, have already conducted an investigation, and we have gathered clues over the past three months. I will briefly explain the several steps of the task. The entrance to the tomb is extremely secretive, and it is guarded by sentinels similar to those in the Qin Emperor's tomb. At the entrance alone, there are ten highly skilled guards, and it is already difficult for the five of us to venture deeper. However, the most challenging aspect of the task lies in truly entering the secret chamber, as we must pass through eleven checkpoints, each of which requires a specific gem to unlock. I will briefly explain the several steps of the task again. The entrance to the tomb is extremely secretive, and it is guarded by sentinels similar to those in the Qin Emperor's tomb. At the entrance alone, there are ten highly skilled guards, and it is already difficult for the five of us to venture deeper. However, the most challenging aspect of the task lies in truly entering the secret chamber, as we must pass through eleven checkpoints, each of which requires a specific gem to unlock. We have already gathered sufficient clues regarding the search for these eleven gems, and we have currently obtained three, but it has taken nearly a month. Therefore, I invited several of you to assist, and what lies before you now are the assigned targets. I hope that everyone can unite and collect all the gems within two months. Once the task is accomplished, each person present will receive a divine weapon as a reward. The rest will be stored in the alliance's warehouse, and in the future, members with outstanding contributions will be rewarded. If anyone has any thoughts, you may bring them up now." After saying this, he looked around at the expressions of those present.

Cold and aloof, Shuang secretly called it impressive. Based on the previous words, the leader of the Heavenly God Gang could at least evade the challenge. However, with the latter part of the statement, given the reputation of the Heavenly God Gang, if they dared not accept the challenge, they would surely become a laughingstock in the martial world, making it difficult to hold their head high in the future. Yet, was Yi Yun being overly confident? The skills of the Heavenly God Gang leader undoubtedly belonged to the top tier of masters. Could one, equipped with a full set of comprehension-enhancing gear and wielding a nearly non-offensive wooden sword that also enhanced comprehension, truly defeat the leader of the Heavenly God Gang?

Everyone fell silent; this decision was indeed difficult to make. After a moment, Heartbroken spoke in a low voice: "The issue of aftermath is the most important. Sacrificing this group of people is worthwhile. However, if it leads to the alliance's infamy, then the harm will definitely outweigh the benefits." At this moment, everyone knew that Heartbroken had made up his mind. Yi Yun seemed to have already made sufficient preparations and answered without hesitation: "It's very simple, we can sacrifice another leader and expert of the alliance. Afterwards, we will publicly declare that this person was a spy sent by the Shenzhou gang, who took advantage of the alliance's moment of weakness to steal the leader's token, leading the alliance members to their deaths at the Shenzhou gang, thereby weakening the alliance's strength. Of course, this person must have a certain level of influence to make others believe it. While the news spreads, we will use the gang's dismissal of the leader setting to remove him, and then immediately execute him. After his rebirth, his words will carry little weight; no matter how much he shouts, can it drown out the entire martial world’s scorn?" While the news spreads, we will use the gang's dismissal of the leader setting to remove him, and then immediately execute him. After his rebirth, his words will carry little weight; no matter how much he shouts, can it drown out the entire martial world’s scorn?

Yiyun observed the figures patrolling inside and outside from a high vantage point, unable to suppress a cold smile. This level of vigilance could not stop her; the key to today's operation was whether she could rescue Xiaolin from her place of confinement before being discovered by Longjian and Mie Shen. It seemed that the only option was to find a way to infiltrate through the window of the house, hoping there would not be too many guards inside. Otherwise, once entangled with Mie Shen and Longjian, rescuing her would be utterly impossible. At this moment, Yiyun would not naively consider a diversionary tactic. It seemed that the only option was to find a way to infiltrate through the window of the house, hoping there would not be too many guards inside. Otherwise, once entangled with Mie Shen and Longjian, rescuing her would be utterly impossible. At this moment, Yiyun would not naively consider a diversionary tactic; any slight disturbance would prompt the other side to immediately strengthen the vigilance around Xiaolin's confinement, which would undoubtedly render the operation hopeless. Yiyun dared not consider using a grappling hook. After surveying her surroundings, she fixed her gaze on a large tree near the target building. With a swift movement, she lightly landed on one of the thickest branches of the tree.

Little Dragon Girl returned to her senses and said: "According to the rhyme, what if the little knife never goes at all? Wouldn't our sacrifice be utterly unnecessary?" Is there a weapon stronger than the Ten Divine Weapons? With the little knife's pursuit of the strongest power, how could it possibly let go of a weapon that fits perfectly in hand? Moreover, would the Shenzhou Gang just stand by and watch us collect all the Ten Divine Weapons?"

On the journey, one often cannot help but marvel at the brilliance of others. However, upon careful reflection, it becomes clear that sometimes one is simply incapable of achieving such brilliance, even if given another chance. If there exists a subjective distinction between individuals, it is a difference stemming from this very character.

In the courtyard of the manor, Sha briefly recounted today's events to Yi Yun in a soft voice. After finishing, he sighed and said: "I feel that the people in the manor have been changing more and more lately, even Gu Jian, who has always been cautious and steady, has become somewhat frivolous, often carrying an air of superiority that makes me particularly uncomfortable. Today, Master Hai Xiang even took the lead in saying such things, which makes me quite angry. I feel that the person named Jia is quite likable, although his admiration for you seems a bit excessive, he is, however, clearer in thought than others."

Heartbroken and distraught, he shouted to silence the noisy conference hall. Once everyone had quieted down, he spoke: "The responsibility this time is significant, and it seems I must trouble Lord Leng and Lord Jingang to recommend suitable candidates, as I currently cannot find anyone appropriate around me." Jingang remained silent, having his own plans in mind. Seeing this, Leng Aoshang understood that Jingang wanted to gauge her attitude first, so she spoke up: "I fear that both Jingang and I will find it difficult to produce candidates. Our own guilds are quite large, and if we were to draw out the current hall masters, it would be quite challenging. However, I do have an idea. Given Lord Yi's capabilities, I believe everyone recognizes them. Moreover, he has maintained close ties with the Qilian Gang and the Tianhe Association. Why not temporarily entrust the management of both gangs to Lord Yi, and when a suitable candidate is found later, we can assign the position? With Lord Yi's skills, I believe that even if the murderer is still intent on killing, they will only come and go without success." Jingang also immediately chimed in to express his agreement. The gazes of everyone in the conference room then shifted to Yi Yun, each with their own thoughts.

Section 1, Action

The Diamond King spoke up, saying: "According to the Master of the Manor, although your words are not incorrect, the financial income of the Heavenly God Gang has always relied on high-level equipment. Among these, woolen fabric is an indispensable raw material. Now that you have taken such an action, what will the more than 7,000 members of the Heavenly God Gang eat and drink in the future?"

However, after just a quarter of an hour, he emerged holding a small wooden box, stopping at a distance of ten steps from Yi Yun. He raised his hand and tossed the wooden box over. Yi Yun casually caught it and opened it, revealing a round deep blue pearl that emitted a flowing ethereal light. After comparing it with the identification features in the materials, Yi Yun tucked it into her bosom. "You have obtained the Blue Calyx Pearl; can you leave now?" Yun Yu Jian spoke while continuously coughing, clearly having sustained significant internal injuries earlier.

Heartbroken and distressed, he immediately frowned upon hearing the words, feeling anger towards Yiyun's behavior of not saving face for himself. At this moment, Leng Aoshang spoke up: "How about this, both sides have their reasons. Since we are people of the Jianghu, to avoid disputes, let the owner of the Yi Manor and the leader of the Heavenly God have a one-on-one duel, and let the outcome be determined by martial arts, how does that sound?" After saying this, Leng Aoshang glanced around and saw no one objecting. When her gaze swept over Yiyun, she noticed a faint smile at the corner of Yiyun's mouth, as if saying 'I was just waiting for this sentence.' Suddenly, her heart jolted, realizing she had fallen into Yiyun's trap. However, the words had already been spoken, and no one raised any objections. She couldn't help but hope that the leader of the Heavenly God would personally reject the proposal, but she also knew that this was impossible.

This world is truly incredible; casually coming in to have some fun, I unexpectedly encountered such a windfall. I wonder what the background of this woman is, being so generous. It seems her family must be a wealthy lineage, completely unaware of the outside world. This has indeed benefited me, as it appears I will have enough money left over to bring some gifts for Sha and her sisters.

After a few hours, more than ten individuals bearing the emblem of the Shenzhou Gang approached within ten steps of the sand. The leading man spoke in an extremely arrogant tone, loudly declaring: "What? You members of the Ancient Tomb Sect still dare to come here to practice your skills? What insignificant characters have you invited today to support your presence! Do you dare to disregard the words of me, the Mad Blade?"

The bustling scene inside and outside the Hate Heaven Cave seemed as if it had never changed, and upon returning nearly two years later, it was still a sea of people. Looking at the throngs of people, Yi Yun suddenly felt that all of this was incredibly unfamiliar to her. No matter how hard she tried to recall, she could not feel the joy she once experienced while practicing in the Hate Heaven Cave, that intangible happiness that was intertwined with the atmosphere of the environment. 'That does not belong to me...' Yi Yun closed her eyes, once again immersing herself in a state of self-cultivation without self. Sha could not help but cast a sidelong glance at Yi Yun, feeling quite helpless in her heart. She turned to happily converse with a few junior sisters who had recently joined, occasionally sharing insights on the cultivation of the sect's martial arts. The warm atmosphere among the sisters was quite pleasant, and several disciples of the Ancient Tomb looked at Sha with eyes full of admiration. The sister Sha, one of the top ten experts of the sect, was so kind and caring towards someone as insignificant as them, filling their hearts with blind admiration. In that moment, they would have rushed to their deaths for Sha without much hesitation.

The Little Dragon Girl glanced sideways at the sand, gently shook her head, "Junior Sister, this man is not someone you can subjugate!"

Yun Yujian helped his wife up, his face filled with guilt as he said: "I am sorry, Xia'er, it is all my fault for being incompetent, I failed to protect you, and I could not even safeguard the most important gift that heaven gave us." Xia gently embraced Yun Yujian and softly said: "You cannot blame yourself, after all, we have withdrawn from the martial world for so long, and our skills have long been set aside. It is just that this person is truly too much." Upon hearing this, Yun Yujian was immediately filled with anger and said: "Xia'er, I will return to the martial world, I will avenge you and reclaim the Blue Calabash Pearl!" Xia was taken aback by his words, tightening her embrace around Yun Yujian, and urgently said: "No! This person is truly too much. We worked so hard to escape the martial world and live a peaceful life. Once we step back in, we do not know how much effort it will take to come out again. If the pearl is lost, then it is lost; I believe heaven will understand us. I just want to live peacefully with you like this, Yun, please do not make impulsive decisions out of momentary anger, alright?" Yun Yujian's emotions calmed down immediately, "I am sorry, Xia, I was too agitated, I do not want to think about this anymore, let us go back." "Mm." The two leaned against each other and disappeared into the night.

The woman surrounded by bodyguards slowly turned her body, looking at Yi Yun with a hint of curiosity. She then noticed the gem in Yi Yun's hand, and her eyes immediately lit up with delight as she stepped lightly towards Yi Yun's stall, asking curiously, "May I ask what kind of gem this is?" Yi Yun was taken aback; despite having become almost immune to beautiful women over the years, she could not help but admire her in that moment. The woman's slightly gaunt face was extremely fair and delicate, and her pair of phoenix eyes irresistibly captivated the heart. Her small, rosy lips, exquisite high nose, and a few strands of silky hair cascading over her ample chest made her figure utterly flawless. "What a beauty; one could say she is a national treasure."

At this moment, the leaders of various major factions within the alliance in the conference hall were vigorously recommending their trusted aides or friends, resulting in a great commotion. Becoming the leader of these two major factions would instantly elevate one's status to a position of great importance, akin to reaching the pinnacle in a single step—an opportunity that one would not dare to even dream of in ordinary times. Who would be willing to let it slip away?

At this moment, the leader of the Heavenly God Gang was utterly despaired. Such a terrifying gap in strength could not be compensated for, even with his richer combat experience. Yi Yun held the sword in her right hand, pointing it towards the ground, and slowly approached the leader of the Heavenly God Gang step by step. The leader, nervously gripping his knife, did not dare to blink, allowing sweat to flow into his eyes without wiping it away. When Yi Yun was five steps away, she slowly raised her sword, her steps still taken slowly one by one. The leader of the Heavenly God Gang, aware that the opponent was about to strike, tightened his grip on the knife, his body tense. As the distance between them closed to just two steps, Yi Yun took a large step forward with her right foot, positioning her body sideways to the leader of the Heavenly God Gang, and the peach wood sword suddenly pierced half an inch into his neck. In a deep voice, she said, "You have lost." It was only then that the leader realized what had happened. He had been waiting for Yi Yun's thunderous strike, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a light and swift thrust. A sense of absurdity washed over him. The crowd was also filled with astonishment, with only a few experts sighing inwardly, realizing that it had all been a calculation from the beginning. Yi Yun had clearly intended to conceal her strength, employing a continuous psychological warfare strategy that left the leader of the Heavenly God Gang with no courage to take the initiative. He could only watch as Yi Yun approached step by step, still not daring to act, ultimately leading to such an incredible defeat.

Emerging from the darkness, Yi Yun stealthily made her way to the headquarters of the Diamond Alliance in the southern part of the city. Utilizing the cover of night, she swiftly navigated through the streets of the city with her lightness skill, gradually approaching the headquarters of the Diamond Alliance.

The corpse of the Heavenly Dragon God flew over twenty meters before crashing heavily to the ground. Yi Yun had already changed into a complete set of equipment, and as she stepped onto the carriage, she turned back and said, "Sha, I will wait for you in the carriage." She then dove into the carriage compartment and closed the door tightly.

The expressions of the crowd were grave, yet no one showed any signs of dissent. Absolutely no one dared to question the strength of the Little Knife; even after just a few years of self-destructive rebirth and training, no one would dare to believe they could rival him. Leng Aoshang inquired, "Then, Yiyun, do you have any suggestions?" Yiyun shook her head and replied, "I cannot think of any strategies to compensate for such a vast disparity in strength. Moreover, the Little Knife is not a fool, and neither are the members of the Shenzhou Gang. We cannot gather a large number of people, as that would only attract more reclusive figures from the martial world to join the fray. Similarly, the Shenzhou Gang will not employ a strategy of overwhelming numbers to seize the prize. However, if the Little Knife leads the experts within the Shenzhou Gang, we are likely to not only fail to obtain the divine weapon but also lose our lives. Therefore, I propose this in the hope of pooling everyone's wisdom to consider an appropriate countermeasure.

As Sha pushed the door open and entered, he saw Yi Yun, as usual, practicing with her eyes closed. Not even the shadow of her backpack was visible in the room, and he felt a slight anger rising within him: "We need to set off in the early morning while it's still dark; how come you haven't packed anything yet?" Yi Yun gently opened her eyes, appearing somewhat dazed. After a moment, she looked as if she had just realized something: "I forgot I had something to attend to; I'm used to practicing at this time." Sha, feeling helpless, took out clothes and items from the cabinet and packed them one by one. After a while, he took out a substitute doll from a small pouch at his waist and handed it to Yi Yun, saying, "Take this; it's very dangerous to go out this time." Yi Yun accepted it and slowly placed the substitute doll into Sha's small pouch.

After a while, he took out a substitute doll from a small pouch at his waist and handed it to Yi Yun, saying, "Take this; it's very dangerous to go out this time." Yi Yun accepted it and slowly placed the substitute doll into Sha's small pouch, softly saying, "Before I set off, I will first go to the bank to get one; make sure to keep this on you and never part with it. Accidents often happen in an instant." Sha no longer insisted, but in his heart, he scolded Yi Yun a hundred times, wondering how her words could change meaning when they came from his mouth. He softly said, "Before I set off, I will first go to the bank to get one; make sure to keep this on you and never part with it. Accidents often happen in an instant." Sha no longer insisted, but in his heart, he scolded Yi Yun a hundred times, wondering how her words could change meaning when they came from his mouth. "The place you are going to is very close to Yangzhou; it is a place of entertainment." Yi Yun replied indifferently, "I used to go to Yangzhou often for business; you need not worry, it's time to set off." Sha nodded gently, then took Yi Yun's arm as they both left the courtyard, leaping over the wall without disturbing anyone in the manor.

Jingang's face was cold, and he was extremely displeased, having had someone rescued right under his nose. "Immediately send someone to notify Shanshin Duanchang, it must be an inside job!" The cold light in Mieshen's eyes flashed as he flew away, fully aware of Jingang's reasoning. Firstly, the location of the imprisonment was undoubtedly a secret within the alliance; secondly, the opponent's weapon was clearly not from the Shenzhou Gang, otherwise, there would be no need for them to wear masks, nor to use a weapon capable of capturing a group of people to conceal their identity. Jingang leaped over the wall from which Yiyun had escaped, searching for blood traces while pursuing. After chasing for a while, he suddenly froze, cursing in exasperation: "So damn cunning!" It turned out that the blood trail had looped back to thirty meters outside the wall, cutting off the lead.

Sha Xin paused slightly, naturally understanding the intention behind Gu Jian's words. Hai's remarks represented the shared thoughts of most members of the villa at present. Gu Jian clearly hoped to express his own ideas through Sha Xin, and even if he had no such intention initially, Gu Jian was simultaneously hinting at his desire to convey the sentiments of everyone in the villa. Sha maintained a smile on his face, signaling for everyone to quiet down before he spoke: "Both the villa master and I are well aware of everyone's enthusiasm and loyalty towards the villa. However, as for what the next steps will be, the villa master is currently planning, and we hope everyone will focus on their respective duties. There is no need to worry about anything else; once the villa master issues instructions, we will execute them strictly."

This matter is quite strange; the person who came possesses exceptional skills, particularly in lightness of body, and employs a technique known as "wrapping the fingers." This indicates that they have achieved a very high level of self-cultivation. In the realm of self-cultivated experts who can use the wrapping fingers technique, there is only one person in the martial world, and that is the notorious Wang. However, it can be concluded that he is definitely not the one responsible, as he is far away in Xixia on a mission, and his hatred for the Shenzhou Gang is certainly not feigned. "Mie Shen simply expressed his thoughts, while Jingang, with a solemn expression, slowly said: "At present, there is only one explanation: there is a traitor among us who has colluded with an unknown expert to carry out this act." Jingang, with a solemn expression, slowly said: "At present, there is only one explanation: there is a traitor among us who has colluded with an unknown expert to carry out this act."

The Heavenly Dragon God, reborn, gazed numbly at the bustling crowd on the street. After the sorrow, after the sadness, after the discomfort, it was impossible to gather these emotions again in a short time. Memories of the hardships endured over decades in the martial world flashed through his mind, and with a long sigh, he turned and walked towards a nearby weapon shop, selecting a fine iron long sword before drifting away. The world is vast, and everyone’s circle is too small; my vision has been confined to my own circle, never looking closely beyond it. I had always thought that with my cultivation, there were only a few people in the martial world who could pose a life-threatening danger to me. It turns out that outside the circle I see, there are many formidable experts beyond my imagination. I will come to find you again, so wait for me, the brilliant young man wielding the soft sword of Wudang. The Heavenly Dragon God floated past the rankings of the top martial artists in the city; at that moment, his name had already been replaced on the list of the top ten experts of the Quanzhen sect. Creating a name requires countless efforts, but destroying it often takes just a blink of an eye. We continuously strive with countless sacrifices to resist the moments that could potentially lead to our own destruction, and we toil for this. Yet, even if it is hard, I am the Heavenly Dragon God, and I absolutely will not allow myself to sink into oblivion!

The leader of the heavenly gods immediately responded: "Alright, if the owner has no objections, we can start at any time! If I win, I request the owner to return Area 2 in the south; if I lose, I will accept the owner's first proposal"

With a rhythmic tone, he quickly replied: "Speaking of this item, it is certainly not an ordinary treasure! It was discovered by a close friend of mine, who risked his life to dive into the depths of the South China Sea. He nearly lost his life to the fish there, and despite his exceptional martial skills, he returned with serious injuries after a fierce battle. In gratitude for my past support, he gifted it to me, and I originally intended to keep it as a family heirloom. However, just now, upon seeing your beauty, I resolutely decided to sell it. Only you, Miss, can display it as a decorative piece that allows it to shine, and only a beauty like you can appreciate its profound aesthetic. Moreover, only you have the means to afford it."

At this moment, a strange smile appeared in Leng Aoshang's eyes, as she pondered briefly, the corners of her mouth lifting into a barely noticeable smile. Heartbroken and in despair, she turned to seek the opinions of the leaders of the other major factions, and it was evident that more agreed with what Yi Yun had said, especially after Leng Aoshang expressed her agreement, the opposing voices grew increasingly rare.

The leader of the Heavenly God Gang immediately responded, "Then what does the master of the Gu Yue Manor wish to do?" Yi Yun coldly replied, "If I am defeated, the Gu Yue Manor will henceforth merge into the Heavenly God Gang! If I win, the Heavenly God Gang will henceforth be under the jurisdiction of the Gu Yue Manor, fully managed by me. This wager is quite significant, so the leader of the Heavenly God Gang should discuss it thoroughly with the members of the gang before making a decision. I should also add that I will compete using the equipment and weapons I am currently wearing!"

At this moment, the leader of the Heavenly God Sect felt a sense of fear. If Yiyun had been overly bold earlier, then daring to set such a stake now indicated absolute confidence. To be so clear about one's own affairs, one would never underestimate their own martial arts. At this time, a woman in the arena stood up and said, "I am the leader of the Yihua Palace, and I accept this challenge!" She then cast a trusting glance at the leader of the Heavenly God Sect, who felt a deep gratitude in his heart. "My beloved, for so many years, from poverty to now, you have supported me wholeheartedly in everything. If I cannot withstand even a single move from my opponent today, how can I face you!" He shouted, "Please enlighten me, Sect Leader!" The long knife in his hand was drawn, pointing towards Yiyun, who was ten meters away.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Dragon God was already less than ten meters away from Yi Yun. A glimmer of cold light flashed in Yi Yun's eyes as the sword in her hand unleashed a red energy wave. The Heavenly Dragon God's pupils suddenly widened, watching in disbelief as the energy wave dispersed the energy he had gathered at such a close distance. The residual force pierced through his chest, and he felt a sudden, intense pain in all his meridians, followed by a complete loss of sensation.

Confronted with the straightforwardness of Yi Yun, Yun Yu Jian chuckled lightly and said, "You are very direct, so I can tell you as well. The value of the Blue Calyx Pearl is not important to us as a couple, but it was given to us by a very important friend, and there is an unusual story behind it, so I cannot hand it over to you." Yi Yun replied in a deep voice, "Is it more important than your couple's ability to continue living a stable life? Is it more important than the martial arts you both have cultivated until now?" Yun Yu Jian smiled and said, "We have long since withdrawn from the martial world; losing our martial arts is not a concern. Even if you were to kill us, we would still be able to continue our peaceful life after being reborn. The value of the Blue Calyx Pearl is not important to us as a couple, but it was given to us by a very important friend, and there is an unusual story behind it, so I cannot hand it over to you." Yi Yun spoke again in a deep voice, "Is it more important than your couple's ability to continue living a stable life? Is it more important than the martial arts you both have cultivated until now?" Yun Yu Jian smiled and said, "We have long since withdrawn from the martial world; losing our martial arts is not a concern. Even if you were to kill us, we would still be able to continue our peaceful life after being reborn. You cannot threaten us." Yi Yun nodded gently and said, "Well then, do you have anything you need me to do? I can do my best to accomplish anything, how about as a condition for exchange?" Yun Yu Jian clasped his fists and said, "I am very sorry, but we have nothing we wish to accomplish. Please leave; we cannot hand over the Blue Calyx Pearl to you."

As Mie Shen and Jin Gang witnessed the astonishing lightness of the black-clad man's movements, Jin Gang immediately leaped into the air. Mie Shen shouted loudly, pushing forward with both palms, using Mie Shen's powerful thrust to propel Jin Gang into a swift leap, instantly catching up like a shooting star. Yi Yun suddenly sensed a surge of sword energy approaching from behind, startling her. She quickly turned her body, simultaneously executing a rapid backward leap with her feet in mid-air. Jin Gang's sword narrowly grazed past Yi Yun's throat, causing her to harbor resentment in her heart. Aware that her strength had waned, she knew it was impossible to stop her opponent any longer. In a moment of desperation, she turned in mid-air and sent her sword flying, infused with internal energy. Yi Yun, already at the limit of her aerial maneuvering, found herself unable to alter her form or actions at this moment. She could only watch helplessly as the long sword pierced through her right chest, and the impact sent her crashing to the ground even faster. Gritting her teeth against the excruciating pain, she dared not linger and leaped again, flipping over the wall and into the narrow alleyway.

With a rhythmic motion, I Yunyin lightly caressed the peach wood sword's body and said in a deep voice: "How about adding another wager? I wonder if the Heavenly God Gang Leader dares to accept it." The Heavenly God Gang Leader, suppressing his anger, replied: "Please, go ahead." "I will only make one move. If that move does not render the Heavenly God Gang Leader incapable of fighting, then I will concede defeat and offer an additional twenty pieces of black iron. If I win, then the Yihua Palace must belong to my faction." Just as the Heavenly God Gang Leader was about to speak, I Yunyin interrupted: "Heavenly God Gang Leader, do not say that you cannot make decisions regarding the Yihua Palace. The leader of the Yihua Palace has loved you for ten years and is completely obedient to you. As long as the Heavenly God Gang Leader speaks, there will be no problem. If the Heavenly God Gang Leader dares not accept this wager, then let it be as if I never spoke."
