"That guy is about to run away; he has the Nine Yin Manual."
"Keep him here, don't let him escape."
A brief exchange of words immediately clarified the situation.
The sharp blade was drawn, its cold light flashing.
A flash of sword light slashed towards the gauze window, directly blocking the scripture bearer who was about to leave.
“The Three Deadly Swords of the Huashan Sect, you are a member of the Huashan Sect.”
"Brother, you've made a mistake."
The man with the sword responded, his longsword gleaming coldly, its sharp aura enveloping the man holding the scripture. Forced by the sword light, the man holding the scripture had no choice but to throw the Nine Yin Manual to his companion.
The scriptures changed hands for the first time.
A chaotic battle erupted over the Nine Yin Manual.
Just then, another group of people arrived, the group that seemed to be the most disciplined.
Coincidentally, just as these people reached the fifth floor, the Nine Yin Manual was thrown at the leader.
The leading man instinctively caught the book, and when he saw the four large characters "Nine Yin Manual" written on it, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy.
This is perhaps a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits. The Nine Yin Manual changed hands several times in the chaos of war, and no one could hold onto it. In the end, the third group of people got their hands on it as soon as they arrived.
"To hold them off, that is the essence of the Nine Yin Manual."
Upon obtaining the Nine Yin Manual, the leader's first reaction was to retreat. He immediately ordered the others to block the stairwell, dodged the sword light chasing after the manual with a somersault, and rushed towards the fourth floor.
"Damn it, stop him!"
"He stole the true scriptures."
The two groups that were just fighting suddenly became united and charged at the third group.
At this moment, Li Boyang had just arrived outside the tower of the Sutra Repository.
The chaotic battle in the Sutra Pavilion, from the first group obtaining the scriptures, to being stopped by the second group, to the third group seizing the Nine Yin Manual, all happened within a mere ten minutes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of fighting kept coming from the Sutra Repository, and they were so loud that Li Boyang could hear them clearly.
Strangely, the members of the Quanzhen Sect seemed to have all gone blind; not a single one of them reacted.
The Nine Yin Manual must have appeared. Without hesitation, Li Boyang rushed into the Sutra Repository.

Chapter 90 Seizing the Nine Yin Manual
Wow, there are a lot of people here!
As soon as we entered the second floor of the Sutra Repository, a large group of people suddenly rushed down from upstairs.
Amidst the clash of swords and the shadows of war, an ancient book changed hands repeatedly.
No one can protect the Nine Yin Manual. Whoever obtains it will be besieged by other forces in the next moment. Under the cover of sword light, they can only throw the Nine Yin Manual away.
Nearly twenty people were all dressed in identical night clothes, and their factions could only be determined by the moves they used.
"The Seven Injury Fist of Kongtong".
"The Three Deadly Swords of Mount Hua".
"The Complete Authentic Big Dipper Sword Technique".
"And the Beggars' Sect's Lotus Palm Technique."
"There's even military boxing used by the army."
Li Boyang rushed into the melee, and as soon as he engaged in combat, he was greatly surprised by the techniques and moves used by everyone.
Having spent half a year at Songyang Academy, Li Boyang hadn't just focused on teaching. He had thoroughly studied the martial arts styles of various sects across the land and could roughly deduce the martial arts used by the people in the melee from their moves.
The Seven Injury Fist of the Kongtong School is very easy to recognize. In a melee, the guy who uses the Seven Injury Fist will have seven different kinds of force on his fist every time he throws a punch.
However, these guys clearly hadn't entered the Qi Refining Realm. Although the seven types of force were tricky, they were easily neutralized by the innate true qi in his body.
As for the Huashan Sect's Three Deadly Immortal Swords, the three swords are linked together, containing dozens of subsequent variations. Each sword is faster than the last, and each sword is aimed directly at the vital point.
Most importantly, this swordsman uses the Huashan Zixia Skill. Every time he draws his sword, the blade is tinged with a faint purple, like a bright lamp. I'm afraid people won't recognize him.
The Quanzhen Sect's Big Dipper Sword Technique and the Beggars' Sect's Lotus Palm Technique each have their own unique characteristics. During the fight, Li Boyang recognized them based on the descriptions of the martial arts world he had collected in the academy.
As for the last group, judging from their actions, they all used military-style boxing, and their killing intent was particularly evident during the fight. They were definitely sent by some rebel army.
This situation is getting interesting. The combined forces of the Quanzhen Sect, various martial arts factions, and the rebel army... Li Boyang gave a strange smile.
It's understandable that martial arts sects would intervene, as the Nine Yin Manual is renowned throughout the martial arts world. However, the Quanzhen Sect's library is heavily guarded, and with Qiu Chuji's reputation suppressing it, martial arts sects can only covet it.
As for the strength of the rebel army, he hadn't figured it out. The Nine Yin Manual was very attractive to people in the martial arts world, and the rebel army was all aiming to follow the emperor. Why would they want to steal the Nine Yin Manual?
The most interesting one is the Quanzhen Sect. The Nine Yin Manual originally belonged to them, so why did they steal it? Li Boyang thought of the strange situation of the Quanzhen Sect in the past few days.
The Quanzhen Sect has no successors. Qiu Chuji can't carry the burden alone, so he wants to get rid of the burden of the Nine Yin Manual. The Wudang world is not like the main world. The Qi Refining Realm is already a top master in the martial arts world.
