Chapter 100

Qingyin Pavilion.

As Dongfang Bubai left, he dismissed the maids, and Lin Shiyin and Lin Yi naturally had more to talk about.

"Senior Sister, is everything really fine?" After chatting for a while, Lin Shiyin still thought about what Lin Yi had said, feeling somewhat worried.

"Although Wang Chongyang is not a good person, his martial arts are excellent. Moreover, Master's martial arts are no less than Wang Chongyang's. We will be fine!" Lin Yi naturally knew what Lin Shiyin was asking. She had already removed her veil during the meal, and with a cold expression on her beautiful face, she said.

"I naturally believe in Aunt's martial arts, but what kind of martial arts manual could make both Wang Chongyang and Aunt so cautious!" Lin Shiyin asked with slight curiosity.

Although she disliked the disputes of the martial world, she knew that Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect was very powerful, and Aunt Lin Chaoying was also very powerful. For both of them to be so cautious, it must not be a simple matter.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The Nine Yin Manual written by the Taoist Huang Chang!"

"The Taoist Huang Chang, the Imperial Preceptor of the Song Dynasty!" Lin Shiyin said softly.

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

"I heard that Taoist Huang Chang is a great master and has not appeared for many years. How did his Nine Yin Manual end up in Wang Chongyang's hands?" Lin Shiyin frowned and asked in a clear, gentle voice.

"I don't know either!" Lin Yi shook her head indifferently.

"It's a pity I can't go and see Aunt!" Lin Shiyin looked a bit gloomy.

"There will be a chance in the future!" Lin Yi comforted her softly.

Then, Lin Yi asked Lin Shiyin if she had found the true culprit behind the destruction of the Lin family. Lin Shiyin shook her head and did not tell Lin Yi. That night, Lin Yi rested in a room at Qingyin Pavilion.

What they didn't know was that their conversation was overheard by a martial arts-trained maid outside the room. Since the maid heard it, Dongfang Bubai naturally knew as well.

Thinking about the Nine Yin Manual, a fiery look appeared in Dongfang Bubai's eyes, and he made a decision.

Over the next two days, Lin Yi stayed at Heimu Cliff for only two days before leaving.

Although Lin Shiyin was reluctant, she did not stop her.

That night, at Qingyin Pavilion, after dinner.

"Did Lin Yi tell you what martial arts manual Wang Chongyang obtained?" Dongfang Bubai asked casually.

"Senior Sister said it was the Nine Yin Manual by Taoist Huang Chang!" Lin Shiyin replied softly without much thought.

Dongfang Bubai smiled, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

But Lin Shiyin realized and looked at Dongfang Bubai, frowning. "Husband, do you want the Nine Yin Manual?"

After more than two years of living together, Lin Shiyin knew this man very well. If it wasn't something he wanted, he wouldn't have asked her about it.

"This is not your concern." Although he said this, his tone softened a bit.

"But...!"

"Ha! I promise you, your aunt will be safe and sound!" Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"Okay!" Lin Shiyin nodded slightly. Although she was not completely reassured, she believed his words. Her aunt would be fine, and she knew she couldn't stop this man.

Dongfang Bubai was in a good mood. Lin Shiyin had not hidden anything from him, which already said a lot. As a man, he naturally cared about whether his woman's heart was with him.

After washing up, Dongfang Bubai picked up the blushing Lin Shiyin and carried her to the embroidered bed.

………………

Although he decided to go to the Song Dynasty, it wasn't that easy. The Sun Moon Sacred Sect was a large organization, and before leaving, Dongfang Bubai naturally had to arrange everything.

Two days later, Dongfang Bubai led half of the Bai Feng Hall's experts and three hundred elite disciples of the Qinglong Hall down from Heimu Cliff, boarded a ship, and set sail down the Yangtze River, heading directly to the Song Dynasty and then north to Zhongnan Mountain.

Although this route was longer, it was much easier by water than by land. Most importantly, Dongfang Bubai was not in a hurry. He was not yet fully enlightened by the Shenzhao Scripture and did not urgently need the Nine Yin Manual.

The Nine Yin Manual was safe in Wang Chongyang's hands, and he was not worried about it being stolen. Even if it were stolen, he could just take it back.

Dongfang Bubai's departure from Heimu Cliff did not escape the eyes of those who were paying attention. With over three hundred people in his group and no attempt to hide, it didn't take long for many to know that Dongfang Bubai had left Heimu Cliff.

Sitting on a large ship, Dongfang Bubai was pondering the Shenzhao Scripture. On this trip to the Song Dynasty, he did not bring many experts, only Huo Xiu, two lower-level grandmasters from the Bai Feng Hall, nine late-stage innate experts, and three hundred Qinglong Hall disciples.

Because the southwest was just stabilized, and he was leaving Heimu Cliff, he needed a large number of experts to guard the area.

So, excluding Huo Xiu, he only brought half of the Bai Feng Hall's experts. However, these experts were enough to handle minor issues and troubles for Dongfang Bubai.

The large ship marked with the Sun Moon Sacred Sect's emblem carried hundreds of people down the river. No one dared to intercept them when they saw the Sun Moon Sacred Sect's emblem. After more than ten days, they arrived at Jinling.

Upon reaching Jinling, the large ship stopped to replenish food, water, and other supplies. Dongfang Bubai did not enter Jinling City; only a group of people went into the city to gather supplies.

After Dongfang Bubai unified the various forces in the southwest, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a gift, indicating a desire for peaceful coexistence.

Dongfang Bubai accepted the gift and agreed to peaceful coexistence, but both sides knew it was because neither could defeat the other.

Dongfang Bubai was wary of the great masters of the Ming Dynasty's court. Although he knew there seemed to be some rules among the great masters that kept them from appearing, if he truly provoked them, it could be dangerous.

The Ming Dynasty's court could not have their great masters act, and the remaining experts were no match for Dongfang Bubai, so they had to make peace.

Both sides also knew that if they had the opportunity and the strength, they would not hesitate to destroy each other.

Standing quietly at the bow of the ship, Dongfang Bubai kept looking in the direction of Jinling City, where he had deep memories. One day, he would end those memories with his own hands.

The large ship only stopped for one day before setting off again. However, it put Jinling City on high alert for several days. Since they knew Dongfang Bubai's route was through Jinling, the Money Gang, the Ghost King's Mansion, and even the Ming Dynasty's court were on high alert.

Many forces in the Ming Dynasty were also prepared to watch the spectacle, but they did not expect Dongfang Bubai to just pass through Jinling City. Now they were even more curious about where Dongfang Bubai was going.

Dongfang Bubai did not care about these matters. The large ship continued down the river, unimpeded. Sixteen days later, the ship entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, naturally attracting the attention of many forces in the Song Dynasty.

After three more days of sailing, the ship stopped only once to replenish supplies. Now, in less than two days, they would dock, and the rest of the journey would be by land.

That day, Dongfang Bubai was in his room pondering the Shenzhao Scripture. For the past month, he had spent most of his time doing this. Just as he was deeply immersed in his contemplation, a sudden commotion interrupted him.

His brows furrowed, anger flared, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He coldly shouted, "What is it?"

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, a person is fighting a group of people," the guard outside quickly said.

"Tell Huo Xiu to make them all roll away!" Dongfang Bubai said coldly.

"Yes!" the guard respectfully replied.

Dongfang Bubai continued to ponder the Shenzhao Scripture.

Several hundred meters away from the large ship, five medium-sized ships were approaching the Sun Moon Sacred Sect's large ship, with a small ship chasing them from behind.

Indeed, it was the small ship chasing the larger ones. The small ship was about one or two hundred meters from the last of the larger ships, and the distance was closing.

On the chased ships, many people were drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the small ship. At the bow of the small ship, a man in a green robe stood alone, unafraid of the many sharp arrows. A peach-blossom-like glow surrounded him.

As the arrows approached him, they were deflected by the glow. When the small ship got closer, the man in the green robe leaped up, flying over the countless arrows and landing on the last of the larger ships.
