Chapter 693: Jin Banhua's Plan

"Hei Zhenzhuang?"

"Wuxi?"

Upon hearing these names, the crowd, including Central Plain Scarlet Point and Qu Wurong, were taken aback.

When Qu Wurong and Liu Wumei were under Shi Guan Yin's tutelage, they were initially known as Wuxi and Wuyi. However, after Qu Wurong's face was disfigured, she changed her name to Wurong, and Liu Wumei renamed herself Wumei after entering the Central Plains.

Despite these changes, they still referred to each other by their original names, Wuxi and Wuyi.

"Jin Banhua, how did you two end up here?" Central Plain Scarlet Point asked in surprise.

But Jin Banhua looked at Central Plain Scarlet Point's shoulder, raising her eyebrows, and asked, "Are you injured?"

Although Central Plain Scarlet Point was not a left-handed swordsman, his right arm was injured, and he had a bandage on it. He could only hold the sword with his left hand, and there were several visible sword wounds on his body, with blood flowing.

While Qu Wurong didn't have any sword wounds, her veil was soaked with sweat, and her breath was chaotic, indicating that she had suffered internal injuries.

"Is it your fellow disciples or the hand that controls the thirteen swords?" Jin Banhua asked.

"You know about this?" Central Plain Scarlet Point's pupils contracted in shock.

"There was a killer with a sword similar to yours, holding the Number Eight Copper Token, who went to assassinate Chu Liuxiang, but he was eliminated," Jin Banhua said.

"It's them!" Qu Wurong exclaimed immediately, "It's that hand that injured us, and they sent out the remaining ten assassins to deal with us."

"But we killed one of them, and another disappeared later," Qu Wurong added, "It seems he's the one who went to kill Chu Liuxiang."

"Then how did you end up here?" Liu Wumei asked.

Qu Wurong fell silent for a moment before saying softly, "It was Master who told me that if I ever encountered danger after entering the Central Plains, I could seek refuge in this nunnery and a Shifang would protect me."

Upon mentioning Shi Guan Yin, Liu Wumei also fell silent.

This person had taught them martial arts and treated them well, but at a critical moment, she revealed her suspicions and cruelty.

Both Qu Wurong and Liu Wumei had complex feelings and attitudes towards Shi Guan Yin.

However, this wasn't the time to discuss it, as the sound of rustling leaves could be heard from the forest behind Central Plain Scarlet Point and Qu Wurong, indicating that their pursuers were closing in.

Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er hastily prepared for battle.

Hei Zhenzhuang drew her whip, and Li Yuhuan unsheathed her longsword.

"This is my responsibility," Central Plain Scarlet Point said sternly, "You all leave, don't engage them!"

Jin Banhua didn't draw her sword but looked at Central Plain Scarlet Point, "Eight people are approaching, is that hand following them?"

"He's still there!" Central Plain Scarlet Point affirmed, "I can sense that hidden presence behind us, like a needle's point, he's been watching us all along!"

Central Plain Scarlet Point turned to Jin Banhua, "I know your sword skills are formidable, capable of killing Shi Guan Yin, but you're no match for him. Even if Bashan Gu Daoren were to return, he might not be his opponent."

Jin Banhua chuckled, "Is he that powerful?"

Central Plain Scarlet Point nodded, "Bashan Gu Daoren's Returning Wind Dancing Willow Sword is graceful and profound, with a sublime realm, but it lacks killing intent. His sword skills, on the other hand, are purely for killing. Even the current Supreme Swordsman of the World, Xue Yi Ren, would only be able to use his sword skills for embroidery in his eyes!"

Everyone was startled by this revelation, and Li Yuhuan exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Xue Yi Ren, known as the "Blood-Garbed Man," was the most renowned swordsman in the past two decades. Even the former Supreme Swordsman of the World, Li Guanyu, acknowledged his inferiority. Who could possibly consider Xue Yi Ren's sword skills as mere embroidery?

Central Plain Scarlet Point looked coldly at Li Yuhuan, "I was raised by him, and he taught me martial arts. I know his sword skills better than you."

Li Yuhuan fell silent.

Although Central Plain Scarlet Point was an assassin, he never failed in his killings. Many martial arts experts had died at his hands in recent years, and his reputation had even rivaled Xue Yi Ren's.

Li Yuhuan had no choice but to believe the words of such a person.

How could they defend against a swordsman more formidable than Xue Yi Ren, accompanied by eight assassins who were not much weaker than Central Plain Scarlet Point?

Even though Jin Banhua was highly skilled, it was difficult to fight against multiple opponents, especially with a super expert on the opposing side!

"Let's fight them!" Hei Zhenzhuang shouted.

"If only Chu Dage were here, then we wouldn't have to fear them!" Song Tian'er said anxiously.

Liu Wumei turned to Jin Banhua, who seemed unconcerned, and asked, "Jin Brother, do you have a plan?"

"Indeed!" Jin Banhua nodded seriously, "At this point, there's only one solution!"

"What's the plan?"

Li Hongxiu asked.

Jin Banhua grabbed Yan Dianhong and retreated towards the distant Bodhi Nunnery, "Of course, we're going to ask that nun to open the passage to the Divine Water Palace and let us in!"

...

In the forest, eight black-clad assassins had already taken their positions.

They had already experienced the martial arts skills of Yan Dianhong and Qu Wurong.

If it weren't for their leader wounding Yan Dianhong first and then striking Qu Wurong when she came to her aid, they wouldn't have lost only one man so far.

Even though these two seemed to be at their last breath, they still dared not be careless.

So when they saw Yan Dianhong encountering an apparent acquaintance for help, they also held back in the forest.

The wealthy young master holding a gem-encrusted longsword and the two tense women didn't seem threatening.

However, the man in black, who seemed to be a young master of a noble family using a whip, and the woman talking to Qu Wurong didn't appear ordinary.

Then they saw the wealthy young master pulling Yan Dianhong and fleeing towards the back.

Immediately after, the remaining people changed their expressions, looking flustered as they followed and escaped together.

"They're all useless!"

"They almost scared us!"

"Chase them and kill them!"

"Don't leave a single one alive, kill them all!"

However, to their surprise, these people's lightness skills were also not weak. Just as they chased out of the forest, these people had already rushed into the secluded nunnery not far away.

...

Jin Banhua, holding Yan Dianhong, rushed into the Bodhi Nunnery, followed by a man and five women.

A thin, elderly nun in a green robe rose from her meditation cushion, glaring at Jin Banhua.

But in the next moment, she saw Liu Wumei, and her eyes revealed a strange and angry expression.

"Forgive me, Master!" Liu Wumei hurriedly said, "We have assassins chasing us, and we had no choice but to seek refuge here."

Qu Wurong spoke, "My master is Shi Guan Yin. She instructed me that in times of danger, I should come here for your help."

The green-robed nun's expression softened slightly.

Song Tian'er pleaded in a crisp voice, "Please, Master, open the passage and let us enter the Divine Water Palace together."

Li Hongxiu bowed and said, "We already have friends who entered the Divine Water Palace through another passage. If you accompany us inside, we can slowly explain the situation to you, is that okay?"

The green-robed nun's expression remained cold, her gaze swept over Jin Banhua, Yan Dianhong, and Li Yuhuan, and she refused with a wave of her hand.

Outside the nunnery, footsteps could already be heard.

At the same time, a light shout echoed into the nunnery, "Hand over Yan Dianhong, and we'll spare your lives! If you insist on stirring up trouble, don't blame us for being merciless!"

"The assassins have arrived, there's no time!" Jin Banhua looked at the green-robed nun, "In this emergency, Master, please forgive me!"

In the next moment, Jin Banhua suddenly attacked.

But since Jin Banhua had already warned her, the green-robed nun was prepared.

Almost at the moment Jin Banhua raised her hand, the green-robed nun also struck out, but her hand had barely extended halfway when it mysteriously changed direction.

Then she found her acupoints seized.

The green-robed nun was shocked and pale, and for the first time, her dull eyes showed a complex emotion—astonishment.

She was a direct disciple of Jellyfish Yin Ji, and although she was punished to guard the passage here due to a mistake, her internal strength was genuine. Her martial arts skills were second only to Yin Ji in the Divine Water Palace.

According to Yin Ji's words, even if she were to enter the Jianghu, she could still earn a reputation as one of the top ten experts.

But as soon as she made her move, her force was diverted by the opponent, who then seized her acupoints. Her internal strength and martial arts skills were completely ineffective.

What kind of martial arts was this? The green-robed nun couldn't imagine.

At the moment the green-robed nun was restrained, a shrill roar came from below the altar.

In the next moment, the altar suddenly shattered, and a figure draped in a yellow curtain suddenly emerged, rushing towards Jin Banhua.

Then Jin Banhua pushed the green-robed nun into the embrace of the yellow-curtained man.

The yellow-curtained man abruptly stopped, frozen in place.

Jin Banhua, now with free hands, quickly circled around the yellow-curtained man, moved aside the meditation cushion the green-robed nun had been sitting on, lifted the floorboard, and revealed the secret passage leading to the Divine Water Palace.

"This is it, everyone, quickly go in!" Jin Banhua urged softly.

Everyone: (((o(▽)o)))
