Chapter 686: The Fragrant Leader Enters the Formation
The Dog-Killing Elder and Fisherman's Wife also departed.
Before leaving, they directed the three towards Green Possession Manor.
However, they still reminded Chu Liuxiang, telling him it was best not to go to Green Possession Manor, as a deadly trap awaited him there.
But Chu Liuxiang had his reasons for going, as Su Rongrong and the others were inside the manor.
"Actually, it's fine if you don't go. I can go myself," Jin Banhua said casually. "Then I'll bring them to the Capital City, and you can visit them later..."
Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath, and even with his composure, he didn't feel like talking to Jin Banhua.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Shuai Yifan, Dog-Killing Elder, Fisherman's Wife... There are countless experts in Green Possession Manor. If you expose me twice, I might actually die."
Jin Banhua raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you like taking risks and putting yourself in dangerous situations? I'm just helping you!"
Chu Liuxiang, "... "
Hu Tiehua smirked, "If it weren't for the fact that you and I went to save that old man in the great desert, I would have thought you really wanted him dead."
"But I understand that you guessed the old man was more formidable than Shuai Yifan. Just now, he was even tied up by the fishing net. How did you know he could turn the tables?" Hu Tiehua asked.
Jin Banhua said, "I don't know!"
Hu Tiehua blinked, "Huh?"
Jin Banhua patted Hu Tiehua's shoulder, "You have to believe in Chu Liuxiang. His ability to adapt and respond to any situation is unmatched. No matter how deadly the situation, he can turn danger into safety."
Hu Tiehua looked perplexed, "You have that much faith in him?"
"Indeed. So we don't need to worry. We just need to push Chu Liuxiang to his limits and then quietly appreciate his performance," Jin Banhua said earnestly.
Chu Liuxiang sighed deeply, "I'm truly grateful for your high regard."
Although he knew Jin Banhua was taking advantage of the situation, how could he blame Hu Tiehua?
"It's getting late. Green Possession Manor is just ahead, so let's hurry," Chu Liuxiang said.
...
When they arrived at Green Possession Manor, Li Yuhuan and his wife warmly welcomed them.
"Elder Shuai is a frequent guest at our manor. We thought he would bring you all here, so we returned early to prepare," Li Yuhuan said.
"Later, a servant reported that Elder Shuai had left alone. This was due to our lack of preparation, please forgive us," Liu Wumei said with a smile, still very polite.
Li Yuhuan continued, "I was just about to send someone to look for you. I didn't expect you to arrive. It's a pleasant surprise."
Chu Liuxiang looked at the expressionless Hu Tiehua, who was clearly angry, and Jin Banhua, who had a playful expression on her face. He could only smile and say, "We were admiring the mountain scenery and got lost on the way. I didn't mean to cause such worry for the esteemed couple."
Li Yuhuan laughed and praised, "The moonlit night at Tiger Hill is indeed a unique experience. You all have great capacity, and I admire that."
Hu Tiehua couldn't hold back any longer and mocked, "We don't have such great capacity. We just took a nap under the Tiger Hill Pagoda and dreamed that a few people came to take our lives."
Liu Wumei smiled, "So Brother Hu dreamed about Tiger Hill. That's truly interesting."
The next moment, Li Yuhuan clapped his hands, and a young boy in green clothes rolled up a bamboo curtain in front of the hall. As the curtain lifted, the scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, and a white-haired old man sat quietly there.
The old man had a thin and gaunt face, his expression weary and his breath aged, revealing a sickly appearance. His eyes held a distant and vacant gaze, as if life had almost left him.
However, a sword lay before him, unsheathed. Its blade, illuminated by the light, shimmered like autumn water, dazzling to the eyes.
The old man didn't look at Chu Liuxiang and the others but stared at the sword as if it were his entire world, the sole support for his life.
Li Yuhuan bowed to the old man and then spoke of Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, and Jin Banhua, mentioning their accomplishments.
But Li Guanyu seemed not to hear a word, not even lifting his head.
Li Yuhuan turned back and smiled apologetically, "My father's hearing has deteriorated in recent years, and he may not have heard clearly. Please forgive any impoliteness."
Chu Liuxiang smiled, "We wouldn't dare."
But Hu Tiehua couldn't bear to face the former Supreme Swordsman, who was now like a flickering lamp about to go out, "We wouldn't dare disturb the senior again. We should take our leave!"
However, Li Yuhuan stopped them, "My father has been lonely for years, and it's rare to have visitors. Since you've come, why not stay a while longer?"
Although Chu Liuxiang was eager to inquire about Su Rongrong and the others, he couldn't be impolite in front of Li Guanyu, a renowned hero in the martial world. As a junior in the Jianghu, he could only sit quietly and not offend.
Li Yuhuan smiled, "Thank you for your kindness. My father is very grateful."
Li Guanyu's eyes flickered, his lips quivered, and his expression turned slightly anxious, with a hint of sorrow.
"My father seems to have something to say," Li Yuhuan's expression changed, and he immediately came to Li Guanyu's side, bowing his head to listen.
After listening, Li Yuhuan turned and spoke of a regret Li Guanyu held, hoping Chu Liuxiang could help.
Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, knowing the real drama was about to unfold, "I wonder what heart's desire the senior has yet to fulfill? If I can be of service, I dare not disobey."
Then Li Yuhuan spoke of Li Guanyu's decades of diligent sword technique research, uncovering several intriguing discoveries.
First, he mentioned the differences between the Demon Sect's "Ten Thousand Mysteries, Soul-Capturing Nine Movements" and Wudang's "Two-Pole Sword Technique." Second, he spoke of Tie Zhongtang's victory over the Demon Sect leader, Du Gu Can, despite being weaker. Third, he brought up the unprecedented undefeated sword formation in the martial world.
These three intriguing matters had already been resolved.
Now, Li Guanyu had created a sword formation that required six experts of equal skill to complete. He believed it to be unbreakable, so he invited six top experts of similar prowess, hoping Chu Liuxiang would test the formation.
Li Yuhuan turned to Chu Liuxiang, "As long as Brother Chu is willing to lend a hand, my father's wish will be fulfilled."
Chu Liuxiang fixed his gaze on Li Yuhuan, "Does the younger brother have a choice?"
Li Yuhuan replied calmly, "No."
Hu Tiehua was stunned, "You want him to face six experts on par with Shuai Yifan? You're practically asking for his life!"
Li Yuhuan smiled but remained silent.
Liu Wumei smiled softly.
The next moment, the bamboo curtain on the side rolled up, and several more people entered in succession.
These individuals were all dressed in black, moving with light steps, their faces covered with black veils, hiding their true identities.
They remained silent, but their demeanor was stern, capturing the hearts of those present.
Hu Tiehua observed them, his heart filled with shock, as he realized these individuals were top experts, almost none inferior to Shuai Yifan.
Hu Tiehua muttered, "Where did so many experts come from in the world?"
