Chapter 24 Who's the better one?
Ban Shuxian was arrested.
Without the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Abbess Miejue's attack range was greatly reduced, making it impossible for her to hit Wei Yixiao.
Such an unfavorable start inevitably dampened morale.
But with Cheng Kun's encouragement, the six major schools rallied their spirits.
After returning to their respective tents, Abbess Miejue couldn't help but sigh, "If only the Heaven-Reliant Sword were still here..."
Ding Minjun felt very pleased to hear this.
Losing the Heaven-Slaying Sword is not a big deal; the position of sect leader is what matters.
Zhou Zhiruo lost the Heaven-Slaying Sword, such a huge responsibility, yet she can still rise to power...
Abbess Miejue agreed, "Zhiruo, don't worry! Losing the Heaven-Slaying Sword is alright, not even if we can't find it again! We Emei don't rely on a single sword to establish ourselves in the martial world; we rely on our martial arts, our unwavering determination to fight against the Demonic Sect, and our righteous commitment to overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty!"
Ding Minjun rolled her eyes, inwardly grumbling, "If I were the one who lost the sword, would that old nun be so considerate? She'd probably just chop me to death! So biased!"
In fact, she couldn't even touch the sword.
Abbess Miejue rarely used her sword; she only drew it when facing a powerful enemy.
If the sword wasn't lost, it must have been used and maintained by Zhou Zhiruo in her daily life.
Zhou Zhiruo said pitifully, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Master. I will definitely do my best to find the Heaven Sword."
Abbess Miejue nodded and then earnestly instructed:
"The formal attack tomorrow will inevitably result in many casualties, so please be careful!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Get some rest and recharge your energy."
"..."
The Emei disciples have rested, but Qi Ming can't.
After the "pre-war seminar" ended, Cheng Kun left and went straight up the mountain.
Qi Ming naturally continued to follow.
Xiao Zhao wasn't stupid either; just by looking in the direction Cheng Kun went, she knew where this thieving monk was going to cause trouble.
"Brother Ming, he's going to the Holy Tomb!"
"What holy tomb?"
"After the leaders of the Ming Cult died, they would be buried there, and those who carried their bodies in were not allowed to come out; they were to be buried alive with them!"
"Human sacrifice? That's too outdated! Can't you adopt some feudalism? I must reform it when I become the leader of the church one day."
"Brother Ming! Stop joking!"
Xiao Zhao said with a serious expression, "We Ming Cult disciples are absolutely not allowed to enter without the permission of our leader! But our leader, Yang, has been missing for many years!"
The way she said that made it sound like she had never been inside.
Qi Ming readily agreed, saying, "I'm not a Ming Cult disciple yet, so I can go in to prevent that scoundrel from doing anything improper. You stay outside and wait patiently for me to come out!"
"No! I'm worried! I've heard it's full of traps and mechanisms inside. I really don't trust you to go in alone. I'm going with you!"
Xiao Zhao spoke urgently, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely worried about Qi Ming.
But they were also excited and happy to have found a good reason to enter the Holy Sepulchre.
Qi Ming cupped her face in his hands and said with the deep affection of an award-winning actor:
"Although we haven't been able to share a bed along the way, if I unfortunately die in that holy tomb tonight, it will be like dying together in the same grave."
Xiao Zhao was deeply moved, but still said proudly:
"It doesn't matter if I die, I'm all alone anyway, nobody cares! But you still have a wife and children, you can't die!"
Qi Ming laughed and flicked her nose:
"Alright, don't worry. With the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting me, let alone such a small holy tomb, even if it were a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I could kill my way in and out seven times!"
Xiao Zhao kicked him, then hugged him, secretly thinking about what excuse she should use to get her beloved to discover the Qiankun Great Shift and persuade him to cultivate it.
More than half an hour later.
This holy tomb is certainly not the kind of setting found in the original work, but it's not as rudimentary as depicted in the film version either.
The specific design and construction are indeed very complex, with numerous mechanisms and various branching paths that make it difficult to distinguish directions.
If it weren't for Xiao Zhao, Qi Ming would have brought the Heaven Sword instead of going in empty-handed with Cheng Kun...
The terrain offers significant advantages.
If that Blood Blade Ancestor couldn't utilize the terrain, he wouldn't be able to defeat the "Falling Flowers and Flowing Water" quartet.
Cheng Kun went into a secret room and didn't come out for a long time.
Xiao Zhao also pulled Qi Ming into another stone chamber, lowering her voice to say:
"Brother Ming, take a rest! There's no other way out of his secret room, he'll definitely come out again."
Qi Ming possesses the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which grants him a long endurance, but Cheng Kun cannot, and naturally, neither can Xiao Zhao; both need rest.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "You seem quite familiar with the Holy Tomb. Is that how you got those chains? Tell me the truth."
"Brother Ming~"
Xiao Zhao said coquettishly, feeling guilty, "I have my reasons. But please believe me, I would never harm you."
"Rules are rules."
Qi Ming said in a serious tone, "You entered the Holy Tomb without my permission. What crime should I be charged with?"
The stone chamber has excellent sound insulation.
Otherwise, Cheng Kun would not have been able to have a secret rendezvous with his junior sister, Madam Yang, here for as long as three years.
So... between him and Yang Dingtian, who is the real "Yellow Hair"? And who is more powerful than whom?
Xiao Zhao's eyes reddened: "According to the rules of the Ming Cult, trespassing into the Holy Tomb is a capital offense."
"I am the future leader of the cult. I can grant you a pardon, but while you may escape the death penalty, you cannot escape punishment... I will punish you by making you my little maid for the rest of your life, my dear sister. Are you willing?"
"Miss Yang will be angry."
"Don't worry, she's concerned about her image and likes to hear nice things. If we both plead with her, she'll give in."
"real?"
"Why would I lie to you? I had only known her for less than an hour when I first met her, and I tricked her into marrying me and taking all her assets."
"One hour? That's unbelievable, I don't believe it!"
"Look at my face."
"..."
Xiao Zhao had seen it many times, so of course she believed it, but she just wouldn't admit it.
Even if her Ming-gege isn't the most handsome man in the world who boasts about himself, he's pretty close. If he's willing to use sweet words to coax his sweetheart, an hour wouldn't be too long.
In fact, this was also due to the added advantage of having mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, making Qi Ming appear even more heroic and awe-inspiring...
He's definitely not a warm and gentle guy; on the contrary, he has a dangerous and aggressive quality that makes people curious about him at first sight.
For example, Zhao Min couldn't resist striking up a conversation with him before.
next morning.
Cheng Kun slowly finished his practice, and then, with a pleasant mood, entered the secret chamber where Yang Dingtian's remains were located.
The long-term plan against the Ming Cult is about to be realized, and he is very excited and looking forward to the destruction of the Ming Cult!
He's finally going to get revenge for the bullying he suffered at the hands of Yang Dingtian Niu!
But soon, he became unhappy.
Because he had another goal: to dominate the martial arts world.
To be more specific, I want to find the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth mental technique and master it.
But after searching for two hours, he still couldn't find it.
After finally revealing his true colors, he burst into a tirade of profanities:
"You fiend, where exactly did you hide the Great Shift of the Universe? Yang Dingtian, if you don't give me this divine skill, don't blame me for being ruthless and leaving you a mangled corpse!"
Having said that, he was about to destroy the corpse.
As the prospective leader, how could I allow this fellow to run rampant?
Qi Ming immediately appeared and shouted righteously, "You lecherous scoundrel! Stop!"
