Chapter 708: News of the Sea of Gold

The group returned to the hall, and Yan Dianhong still seemed incredulous, her expression dazed.

"Do you really intend to pass on the Life-Taking Thirteen Swords to me?" Yan Dianhong asked.

"In the entire world, you are the most suitable person for this sword technique," Jin Banhua smiled and said, then thought for a moment, "After you master it, you can go and challenge Chu Liuxiang for a fight and avenge the time he knocked you unconscious at Daming Lake."

Yan Dianhong was speechless.

"Chu Liuxiang stealing your White Jade Beauty is probably the biggest mistake he's made in his life," Yan Dianhong sighed.

Jin Banhua humphed, "It's too late for regrets now!"

On the other side, Qu Wurong had already learned of Hua Zhenzhen's identity.

"Although Jin Brother has a carefree temperament, he never lies. If he says that the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements he obtained have nothing to do with Huashan, then it must be so," Qu Wurong said.

Hua Zhenzhen glanced deeply at Jin Banhua and said softly, "I know, because he no longer has any reason to lie."

"Since Miss Hua has understood, that's the best outcome," Qu Wurong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Zhenzhen bit her lower lip.

On the day she returned to Huashan and revealed her identity, she soon learned that the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements had been stolen. She immediately went down the mountain and found the person who knew the sword technique, only to obtain a single clue about the Sea of Gold.

She was about to follow that lead when she unexpectedly discovered that Jin Banhua also knew the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements. So, she changed her course to the capital, intending to test her.

Unexpectedly, she discovered the Clear Wind Fourteen! At this moment, she was torn between continuing to investigate the clues about the Sea of Gold or following Jin Banhua to obtain the Clear Wind Fourteen as soon as possible. The theft of a sect's secret manual was indeed a serious matter, but Jin Banhua had also mentioned yesterday that if she wanted to bring this sword technique back to Huashan, she would have to become his maid properly.

As Hua Zhenzhen was torn, she heard Jin Banhua ask, "By the way, have you heard any news about the Sea of Gold while traveling in the jianghu recently?"

Hua Zhenzhen looked at Jin Banhua in surprise.

"The Sea of Gold, where nothing is unobtainable?" Qu Wurong asked.

Hua Zhenzhen's eyes flashed, and she immediately asked, "You know about it?"

"Wu Hua mentioned it after he went to the Great Desert," Qu Wurong said. "It's said that after hearing this news, he once wanted to go there to buy some Heaven's First Essence Water, but after investigating, he learned that there was none for sale."

Qu Wurong shook her head, "So, Wu Hua boasted about the Sea of Gold, but his abilities are mediocre."

Hua Zhenzhen's expression turned grim, "But the Sea of Gold has the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements for sale."

Qu Wurong was taken aback by her words and bowed in apology.

Hua Zhenzhen quickly supported Qu Wurong and shook her head, "It's not related to Miss Qu. It should be a traitor from Huashan."

Qu Wurong asked, "The Clear Wind Thirteen Movements of Huashan are passed down secretly within the sect, and only direct disciples are allowed to learn them. How could they be leaked so easily and become a tool for someone's profit?"

Neither of them mentioned Jin Banhua's matter, as they knew from her talent that this was not a simple leak.

Hua Zhenzhen sighed, "That's what puzzles me. After the incident, I questioned all the Huashan disciples who practiced the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, and they all swore to heaven that they never revealed our sect's sword technique."

"Then, are there ill-intentioned people who have infiltrated Huashan?" Qu Wurong asked.

"But the place where the secret manual was kept was in the bedroom of the Withered Plum Sect Leader," Hua Zhenzhen said.

Qu Wurong remained silent.

The internal affairs of Huashan were not for her to comment on.

"I've also heard of this Sea of Gold," Yan Dianhong suddenly spoke up.

Jin Banhua was surprised. "Wu Hua is a Shaolin monk with good connections, so it's not surprising he knows about the Sea of Gold. But how did you, a killer who pays no heed to the outside world, come to know of it?"

"Because my master once received an invitation," Yan Dianhong said. "The invitation stated that if he was willing to go to the island, he could purchase a sword technique capable of defeating Xue Yiren."

Qu Wurong was startled. "The Whisper Wind Thirteen?"

"The invitation didn't specify, but it must be that," Yan Dianhong said gravely. "There aren't many sword techniques in this world that can defeat Xue Yiren."

Hua Zhenzhen clenched her teeth. "How many copies of the Whisper Wind Thirteen does this mastermind intend to sell?"

"But your master didn't go?" Jin Banhua asked.

"He didn't go," Yan Dianhong replied. "He said that Xue Yiren's sword technique is just the Embroidered Sword Technique, and he could defeat Xue Yiren without needing to learn another sword technique."

Jin Banhua blinked. "So you believed him?"

Yan Dianhong fell silent.

"From the battle at the Divine Water Palace, he probably isn't Xue Yiren's match," Jin Banhua said. "But he calls Xue Yiren's sword technique the Embroidered Sword Technique, which suggests they have a grudge. That's why he deliberately belittles Xue Yiren in his words."

Qu Wurong asked, "If they have a grudge, why didn't he buy the Whisper Wind Thirteen?"

"Even the most powerful sword technique depends on the user," Jin Banhua laughed. "If one could defeat Xue Yiren with just a sword technique, how could Xue Yiren be worthy of the title of the number one swordsman in the world?"

"Your master must understand this principle," Jin Banhua continued thoughtfully. "Perhaps his obsession is to defeat Xue Yiren himself, not with a sword technique."

Yan Dianhong couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between him and Xue Yiren?"

"How would I know if you don't?" Jin Banhua waved her hand. "You've traveled the jianghu, have you heard any news about Jiangnan Xue Family Manor and Xue Yiren?"

"No," Yan Dianhong and Qu Wurong shook their heads together.

"Xue Yiren hasn't made a move in a long time," Yan Dianhong said. "There hasn't been any news of him in the jianghu for the past few years."

Qu Wurong said, "That's why Yan Dianhong believes her master's words."

"Alright..." Jin Banhua nodded. "So, to go to this Sea of Gold, we need to wait for an invitation from them?"

"That's right," Yan Dianhong said. "The invitation states that if you wish to go, you must go to the estuary at a specified time, where someone from their group will come to guide you."

Qu Wurong continued, "The sea is vast. Without their guidance or a map, no one in the world can find the location of the Sea of Gold."

"Nonsense!" Jin Banhua humphed. "Although the Whisper Wind Thirteen was stolen recently, this Sea of Gold obviously didn't just appear recently."

"In that case, over the years, there must have been many who returned from there. How is it possible that no one knows its location?" Jin Banhua shook her head. "At least those who live along the coast, or even those who make their living at sea, must know something."

Hua Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, clearly having thought of a few names.

Jin Banhua clicked her tongue. "This Sea of Gold is in Jiangnan, and Yan Dianhong's master also has a connection to Jiangnan Xue Family Manor. At this moment, Chu Liuxiang might also be in Jiangnan..."

"Then what's there to say?" Jin Banhua clapped her hands and laughed. "Let's go!"
