Chapter 59: The Final Act (Part 1)

  Although Huang Rong's shout was not particularly loud, it sounded like a thunderclap to Mei Chao Feng. Mei Ruohua was Mei Chao Feng's original name before she became a nun, and no one in the martial arts world knew about it. It had been twenty or thirty years since anyone last called her by that name. Suddenly being addressed as such shocked Mei Chao Feng greatly. The long whip she was about to lash out with froze in mid-air, and she trembled with rage as she asked: "Who... who are you?!"

  "Huang Rong said in a loud voice: 'The peach blossom shadow falls, the flying god sword, the green sea tide is born, pressing the jade flute! My surname is Huang.'"

  Huang Rong didn't know that Ling Yun had already given up on killing, and thought he was determined to kill Wanyan Honglie to avenge his grievances. Although she wasn't familiar with Wanyan Honglie and didn't have any feelings of love or hate towards him, since her brother wanted him dead, then he should die. So when she saw Mei Chaofeng, the traitor from Peach Island, trying to intervene and stop her brother, she quickly called out Mei's real name to scare her off.

  Mei Chao Feng was even more shocked, and all he could say was: "You... you... you..."

  "Who are you?" Huang Rong exclaimed. "Do you still remember the Finger-Pointing Peak, Clear-Sound Cave, Green Bamboo Forest and Sword-Testing Pavilion of Peach Blossom Island in the Eastern Sea?"

  What Huang Rong said were all the scenery on Peach Blossom Island, and also the old haunt where Mei Chao Feng used to practice her skills on Peach Blossom Island in those years. How could Mei Chao Feng not know? At this moment, it was as if she had transcended into another world, and with a trembling voice, she asked: "The Huang...Huang Shifu of Peach Blossom Island, who...who...are you?"

  "Huang Rong said: 'Good! You haven't forgotten my father, and he hasn't forgotten you either. Don't worry, he's coming to see you himself, he'll be here soon!'"

  Huang Rong also knew that Mei Chao Feng, although she had betrayed Peach Blossom Island long ago, was extremely skilled in martial arts due to her study of the Nine Yin Manual, and with her abilities, it would be impossible to stop her by force, so she used her father's name to intimidate people.

  Miejue was so frightened that her soul flew out of her body, her teeth chattered and she made a "ge ge" sound, not knowing what to do. Having studied under Huang Yaoshi for many years, Miejue naturally knew how formidable he was. Moreover, back then, because she and her husband Chen Xuanfeng had stolen the manual and betrayed him, they had incurred Huang Yaoshi's great wrath, causing even their fellow disciples to be implicated and have their legs broken by Huang Yaoshi before being expelled from the island. If Huang Yaoshi were to arrive now, would she still have a life?

  Yang Kang, who was standing aside, saw that Mei Chaofeng had been intimidated by Huang Rong's words. Although he didn't know who Huang Rong's father was or what kind of relationship Mei Chaofeng had with Huang Rong and her father, he could tell that Mei Chaofeng was afraid of the "father" mentioned by Huang Rong. So he hastily said to Mei Chaofeng: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense! Who knows if she heard something about you somewhere and came here to deceive you? You should hurry up and save my father instead!"

  Mei Chao-feng's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Yang Kang's words, and suddenly thought: "Wait, isn't my master sworn not to leave Peach Blossom Island? How could he possibly come here? It was precisely because of this oath that when I stole his 'Nine Yin Manual' with Thief Hanzi back then, the old man could only get angry but couldn't leave the island to chase us. I mustn't be deceived by people!"

  Huang Rong saw her hesitate and knew she had doubts, so she immediately leaped forward, took a step with her left foot, jumped up more than ten feet, turned two circles in mid-air, swung her palm in the air, and struck towards Mei Chao Feng's head. It was one of the moves from "Lose the Sword Palm", called "River City Flying Flowers". She shouted: "My father taught you this move, have you forgotten it?"

  Mei Chao Feng heard the sound of her turning in mid-air, and there was no longer any doubt. He raised his hand lightly to block it, and called out: "Junior sister, let's talk this over, where is Master?"

  "Huang Rong said: 'My father asked me to come ahead of him, he'll be here soon.'"

  Just then, Ling Yun burst out of the crowd and rushed over to Huang Rong in two or three strides, pulling her into his arms with a slightly worried tone: "Rong'er, are you alright?"

  Ling Yun was just done "chasing and killing" Wanyan Honglie, when he suddenly saw Huang Rong running to the front of Mei Chao Feng. His heart immediately skipped a beat. Although Huang Rong had a deep connection with Mei Chao Feng, how could he be sure that Mei Chao Feng wouldn't lose his temper and attack her? Therefore, he couldn't continue to teach Wanyan Honglie a lesson anymore, and hastily rushed back to Huang Rong's side.

  "Sister, when Master arrives, you just tell him that Mei Chaofeng is filled with remorse and shame, and doesn't dare to see him again, so she's leaving first."

  Just then, Mei Chaojun suddenly said a word to Huang Rong, and then turned around and flew away without waiting for Huang Rong's response. It was because she saw Ling Yunqiu return, and also heard that Huang Yaoshi was coming, so it would be difficult for her to take revenge if she stayed here any longer. Once Huang Yaoshi arrived, she would definitely be killed by him, where would she dare to stay? So she had the idea of escaping.

  "Master, master don't go!" Yang Kang saw Mei Chaofeng wanting to leave and hurriedly shouted loudly, trying to stop her. But at this time, Mei Chaofeng had already been startled by the news that Huang Yaoshi was coming, and her heart was racing with fear, thinking only of leaving quickly, without caring about this cheap disciple. So no matter how Yang Kang shouted, Mei Chaofeng still fully exerted her extraordinary lightness skill, covering dozens of feet in seven or eight strides, disappearing into the buildings.

  Mei Chao Feng left, and Wan Yan Hong Lie and the others were even more stunned. On their side, Mei Chao Feng was the only one who could barely keep up with Ling Mu Yun, but now that she's gone, how can they possibly deal with Ling Mu Yun?

  Wanyan Honglie, who had already been intimidated by Ling Yun, no longer dared to stay and quietly ordered his subordinates to retreat. He didn't even think about trying to take back the package again. Although it was humiliating for the legitimate queen of Zhao Wang to run away with a Jianghu rogue, losing face was better than losing one's life. In just a short while, hundreds of his personal bodyguards had been injured or killed, and several high-ranking officials he had invited were also wounded. Even he himself was lucky to be alive. If the Ling surname killing god were to suddenly charge at him again, he wouldn't have the confidence to keep his life safe.

  Shatong Tian and others were also beaten by Ling Muyun, actually they had wanted to leave early, but because of their dignity, they gritted their teeth and stuck it out. Now that Yan Honglie has ordered a withdrawal, what reason do they have not to obey? They immediately escorted Yan Honglie and his son in a slow retreat, to prevent Ling Muyun and others from pursuing them. Those Jin soldiers, upon hearing the order, retreated hastily as if they had been granted a great amnesty.

  As soon as Yan Honglie and others were about to leave, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan also breathed a sigh of relief. But Qiu Chuji suddenly shouted loudly at Peng Lianhu: "Hey, Peng, leave the antidote behind before you go!"

  But it was Peng Lianhu who had previously borrowed a hand to test the waters with a poisonous needle, and now he secretly attacked Ma Yu. Chi Chushan saw that his master's palm was already black as ink, obviously the opponent's poisonous needle was very toxic, and only the opponent's exclusive antidote could be used, so he spoke out to ask for it.

  Peng Lianhu pretended not to hear, his footsteps didn't stop. After this battle, both sides had already formed a deep hatred, and it was inevitable that they would fight again in the future. If Ma Yu was poisoned to death, Peng Lianhu would have one less great enemy, so why would he be foolish enough to leave an antidote for Ma Yu to save his life?

  At this time, Ling Muyun spoke up: "Peng Lianhu, leave the antidote behind. Otherwise, none of you will be leaving!"

  As soon as Ling Muyun spoke, Peng Lianhu's body shook violently, and his face turned extremely ugly. He could ignore Qiu Chuji, but he didn't dare to ignore Ling Muyun. If he ignored Qiu Chuji, the worst that would happen was another fight, and against an injured Qiu Chuji, he might not necessarily lose. But if he turned a deaf ear to Ling Muyun's words, his life would probably be forfeited right there.

  At the same time, Wanyan Honglie and others also stopped in their tracks and looked at Peng Lianhu together. Although they didn't say a word, the meaning conveyed by their eyes was the same: to let Peng Lianhu hand over the antidote quickly, so as not to implicate them. Even the Ghost Gate Dragon King Sha Tongtian and the Three-Headed Python Marquis Tong Haishi brothers, who had always been on good terms with Peng Lianhu, were no exception.

  Peng Lianhu saw that everyone was looking at him, and suddenly understood what they were thinking. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: a bunch of cowards, afraid to fight the enemy at critical moments, but only knowing how to pressure their companions. However, before he could even finish his thoughts, he discovered that Ling Muyun was also staring at him coldly. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he obediently took out a white snuff bottle from his bosom and tossed it to Qiu Chuji: "Red for internal use, gray for external application."

  Qiu Chuji took the snuff bottle, opened it and saw that it was divided into two compartments. One compartment contained red powder and the other gray powder. He immediately poured out some of each and gave them to Ma Yu to take orally and apply topically. After taking the medicine, the black color on Ma Yu's palm quickly faded away and soon disappeared without a trace, clearly the toxicity had been resolved.

  Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Qiu Chuji and the Jiangnan Six Freaks were naturally delighted that Ma Yu's poison had been cured, no longer in danger. While Wanyan Honglie and others were relieved that Peng Lianhu gave them real antidote, they didn't have to be implicated either.
