The woman was very beautiful and had a lively and charming personality. Passersby on the street would unconsciously turn around to take a look when they passed by her.
“Master, if you ask me, the Central Plains are more lively. Teacher is so bored staying on the grasslands.”
Beside the woman, a man of similar age was carrying a long sword on his back. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the sword had no scabbard.
"Junior sister, which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."
The man spoke with a doting tone, and his gaze toward the woman was filled with affection.
"I don't need you to buy it for me, I have my own money."
After the woman finished speaking, she took out a few taels of silver from the small pocket at her waist and waved it in front of the man, clearly not fond of his senior brother.
Ahead of the two men was a burly man, nearly sixty years old, with a rough stubble and wearing a straight-cut robe embroidered with lace.
These three were none other than Chi Bilie, Xueying, and Huolang.
As the three walked down the street, Fire Wolf asked in confusion, "Master, isn't the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain? It's so far away from here, why did we come here first?"
After leaving Mongolia, the three of them first went to Dadu (Beijing), and then headed straight for Dengfeng Town. As for the purpose of coming to Dengfeng, Huolang still doesn't understand.
Xueying chimed in, "That's right, Master, weren't you going to seek revenge on that old Taoist priest Qiu Chuji? What are we doing here?"
"We've endured it for twenty years, what's a little more?"
In the original Wudang world, Chi Bilie suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Qiu Chuji twenty years ago. After returning to the grasslands, he devoted himself to cultivating the Sun God Skill. The first thing he did after completing the skill was to lead his two disciples straight to Zhongnan Mountain to seek revenge on Qiu Chuji.
The three, master and disciples, stormed into the Quanzhen Sect with murderous intent, only to find that the Quanzhen Sect was holding a memorial service for Qiu Chuji. Chi Bilie broke down in tears in front of Qiu Chuji's coffin, lamenting that his twenty years of hard training had ended without an opponent, feeling extremely regretful.
But now, the course of history has clearly changed. The butterfly effect has inadvertently caused Chibi Lie, who had mastered the Sun God Technique, to come to Dengfeng, a small town in Henan, instead of going to the Quanzhen Sect.
Xueying smiled, revealing dimples, and asked in a coquettish tone, "Master, what exactly are we doing in Dengfeng? Tell us!"
Chibi Lie sighed and said, "Twenty years ago, I was utterly defeated by Qiu Chuji. It was the Grand Preceptor Shi Le who saved me. I owe him a favor."
Fire Wolf still didn't understand and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with our coming to Dengfeng?"
Chi Bilie said calmly, "Li Boyang of Songyang Academy has a grudge against the Imperial Preceptor. He came here at the Imperial Preceptor's request. Firstly, to repay the life-saving grace from twenty years ago, and secondly, because I heard a long-standing rumor in the martial arts world that the Nine Yin Manual is in Li Boyang's hands."
Xueying nodded in sudden realization and said with a grin, "Oh, I understand. Killing Li Boyang can repay the kindness of the Imperial Preceptor, and perhaps we can also obtain the Nine Yin Manual. Master, this is killing two birds with one stone."
She didn't say she was certain she could obtain the Nine Yin Manual. After all, rumors in the martial arts world are often exaggerated, and no one knows whether they are true or false.
Seeing that his junior sister had already bought all the horses, Huo Lang muttered, "Master, I've heard that Li Boyang is known in the martial arts world as the Butcher. To have such a nickname, he must be a master. We can't be careless."
Xueying stretched out her pink fist and gestured, saying disdainfully, "So what if he's a master? Master has now mastered the Sun God Technique. How could a mere butcher like Li Boyang be a match for Master?"
Chi Bili nodded happily and replied, "Little Eagle knows how to talk. Fire Wolf, you're boosting the enemy's morale and diminishing your master's prestige. That's not right."
"I have been cultivating in the grasslands for twenty years, and now the Sun God Technique has finally been perfected. Let's use this butcher Li Boyang as a sacrifice for the flag."
"I'm actually hoping that the Butcher Li Boyang is a master. If the first person he kills is just a nobody, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Sun God Technique?"
After being scolded by Chi Bilie, Huo Lang licked his lips and said, "Dengfeng Town is neither big nor small. Where are we going to find Songyang Academy?"
"Idiot, why don't you go and find out?"

Chapter 113 Two Disciples Leave the Mountain
In Li Boyang's small courtyard.
Inside the study.
Li Boyang sat upright in the chair, his expression somewhat solemn.
At the desk, Liu Bowen and Zhang Junbao both seemed a little uneasy. They had been suddenly called to the study by their teacher, and seeing the teacher's solemn expression, they didn't know why.
"Junbao, how long have you been with me?"
Without hesitation, Zhang Junbao replied, "Two years and two months."
Li Boyang looked at Zhang Junbao with a serious expression. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Yes, it's been more than two years. Time flies. I have nothing more to teach you. You should go and find your own opportunity."
In fact, Li Boyang had nothing left to give Zhang Junbao half a year ago. He had the idea of letting Zhang Junbao go out to find his own opportunities half a year ago.
However, people inevitably develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together, so he kept putting it off until now, when he finally made up his mind after breaking through the Qi Refining to Mist realm.
He knew perfectly well that Zhang Junbao, who had always been by his side, could never become the Zhang Sanfeng of that era of suppression.
He imparted all his knowledge and learning to Zhang Junbao, along with his own growth process, and then released Zhang Sanfeng to let him experience what he was meant to experience and find his own opportunities.
Without his original experiences and profound insights, Zhang Junbao could never have become the Zhang Sanfeng of the era of suppression.
"Master Boyang, did I do something wrong?"
When Zhang Junbao heard that Li Boyang wanted to send him away, he was stunned. He thought he had done something wrong. After more than two years of living together, Zhang Junbao had long regarded this place as his home.
Li Boyang explained, "Of course not. Master just doesn't want to be too selfish. You have your own opportunities and shouldn't always be by my side."
"But where can I go if I'm not by your side?"
Two years have passed, and Zhang Junbao himself has forgotten that when he left Shaolin Temple, Jueyuan told him to go to Zhongnan Mountain to find Qiu Chuji.
"The world is so vast, there's nowhere you can't go. Have you forgotten your Master Juekong's instructions?"
