Death Sutra Chapter 451

Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Yun slapped each other simultaneously .

Gu Shenwei was not confident using the swordcraft in the Death Scripture, nor was it necessary against a foe like Shangguan Yun . Before their next move, Han Fen, lying on the ground near the door, leapt up suddenly and started her second attack on Shangguan Yun . Gu Shenwei watched her, and thought that her skills were above the level of the disciples from New Moon Hall .

The fight was over in the blink of an eye .

The slap that Shangguan Yun had used on the Dragon King was a feign attack . It's real purpose was to elude the sword behind him, using his strength to slide to the side of the bed .

He slammed against the bed violently, and Gu Shenwei and Han Fen were hit by a flying quilt . Next, they heard the young prince shriek with fear next to the door .

"Dragon King, please think about my suggestion . It's doesn't go into effect until next spring," said Shangguan Yun .

"I'm glad that Maid Lotus is still alive . I wish you two can move forward shoulder to shoulder to achieve your big picture soon," he continued .

"Dragon King, I'll return your favor one day . . . " he concluded .

After saying these words, Shangguan Yun disappeared into the underground pa.s.sage .

After awhile, Han Fen woke up, seeming to transform into someone with high kung fu skills . She entered the pa.s.sage first to go after Shangguan Yun .

In fact, she was not the real Han Fen, but Maid Lotus .

Gu Shenwei followed her closely .

In the room, the young prince shrieked more loudly, for he had found his mother was dead .

"Shangguan Yun talked while running, as if he wasn't worried about being caught by us . Did he lead us here deliberately?" Gu Shenwei wondered .

"The Dragon King has strong Internal Strength, but you seemed to be easily attacked by Qigong Deviation . Do you need any help? I can help you get rid of it, and then I'll owe you nothing," said Shangguan Yun .

"Why didn't both of you exert Dajue Book of Swordcraft? I thought it was just a legend . It's destiny . Thousands of people live in the Golden Roc Fort, but only the Dragon King was able to get the secret ma.n.u.script in the end . Haha, what a coincidence!" he continued .

. . .

The pa.s.sage was very long and forked off into different directions, but the prison seemed to be at the end . Before checking, Gu Shenwei heard Shangguan Yun's voice again, "Oh, I almost forgot . Your loyal young killers ate something bad .  If you delay for another moment, they might . . . "

Maid Lotus suddenly stopped, and then stepped back . She moved beside Gu Shenwei, and said, "My girls are over there . "

To catch Shangguan Yun, Gu Shenwei accelerated his pace immediately . Although he had many doubts, he decided to worry about them later . Now all he thought about was killing the enemy .

As they were leaving the pa.s.sage, Shangguan Yun, "Keep him alive . He'll tell the truth . "

Meanwhile, "he" was thrown to the Dragon King in the pa.s.sage, and cried, "Please don't kill me, please . . . "

The man was Shangguan Hong .

Gu Shenwei hit the back of his head with his swordhandle violently .

Shangguan Hong stopped crying instantly, and fell to the ground, unconscious .

Suddenly, a light appeared and the door at the end of the pa.s.sage opened . Shangguan Yun walked out of it, and the Dragon King was stopped by several people .

Gu Shenwei squeezed through the crack of the door, and as he was rus.h.i.+ng through it, stabbed someone with his Dragon Head Sword .

It was dawn outside .

They came to some woods outside of the Capital . "This is their escape route when the Royal family of the Hui Kingdom is in danger . But this pa.s.sage wouldn't work if the enemy appeared inside the Royal Palace," Gu Shenwei thought .

Ten attendants were waiting for their master there . The Dragon King stabbed one of them, so the rest drew out their weapons . Gu Shenwei recognized one of them .

Ten attendants were waiting for their master there . The Dragon King stabbed one of them, so the rest drew out their weapons . Gu Shenwei recognized one of them .

Chipo was an infamous and bossy theif . Having been humiliated by the Dragon King before, he hated his guts . He dashed to attack the Dragon King first, disregarding the great distance in skills between their martial arts .

To avoid fighting with the Dragon King, Shangguan Yun quickly to left the woods without stopping . His Lightness Skill wasn't like killers from Golden Roc Fort . He didn't jump around . Although he moved fast, he didn't pant .

Dozens of the disciples of New Moon Hall showed up . They had followed Chipo and his companions all the way, hiding in the shadows outside for a long time .

Shangguan Yun wasn't surprised at the sight of them . He laughed as if everything was in his control . Obviously, he didn't regard them as a threat .

He moved very fast . Suddenly he accelerated again and pa.s.sed through two disciples of New Moon Hall . The two disciples, who practiced a unique occultism, lost their target before unleas.h.i.+ng it upon him .

Though Shangguan Yun escaped alone, Chipo and the other attendants weren't disappointed in him . Instead, they tried their best to stop the Dragon King so that their master would have more time to escape .

The fight in the woods was brief, but b.l.o.o.d.y . Because Shangguan Yun escaped, dozens of the disciples of New Moon Hall showed no mercy on the other nine attendants . They flocked to attack them with their hidden weapons and poisons, with a.s.sistance from the Dragon King's sword .

Within half an hour, another eight attendants were dead . Gu Shenwei left Chipo alive, though .

"Shangguan Yun escaped anyway," Gu Shenwei thought to himself .

Gu Shenwei didn't know why the Third Young Master of Golden Roc Fort had made this trap . "He knew that it was impossible to kill me with this trap . Is it possible that he did it only to say those words to me? But those words are more like the usual last-minute artful talk that he makes up to obtain my trust," he wondered .

He stopped guessing blindly, because some people appeared around him that would be able to give him answers .

The first one he thought of was Maid Lotus .

She ran out of the pa.s.sage with a group of people, and caught up with Gu Shenwei . On the way to the capital, she told him what had happened to her .

Maid Lotus had followed Chipo, and then discovered a distinguished guest from Golden Roc Fort in the Royal Palace . Although she had never seen Shangguan Yun, she recognized him immediately and quickly figured out the truth . Ever since then, she started to follow Shangguan Yun .

She found that Shangguan Yun was a tough person to get close to, so she followed other attendants . Maid Lotus had seen Chipo set a trap to catch Chu Nanping at the ancestral shrine, but she didn't stop him .

She found that Shangguan Yun was a tough person to get close to, so she followed other attendants . Maid Lotus had seen Chipo set a trap to catch Chu Nanping at the ancestral shrine, but she didn't stop him .

There were too many people . To avoid being exposed, Maid Lotus had divided the disciples of New Moon Hall into two groups . A few, including Han Fen, were asked to remain in the town to keep watch on the situation inside .  Meanwhile, she followed Shangguan Yun and left the capital with three disciples .

She had intended to a.s.sa.s.sinate Shangguan Yun along the way, but she couldn't find a good chance . It wasn't easy to a.s.sa.s.sinate a vigilant man like him . Having seen him and his people take a boat across Xiaoyao Lake and move southward to enter Wushan, Maid Lotus resolved to find out their final purpose first before taking the next step .

They had crossed Wushan, and then entered the Land of Fragrance separately .

During their three-day stay in the Land of Fragrance, Shangguan Yun had talked with his sister several times . Maid Lotus did not know the content of their conversations, as she had never gotten close enough to them .

Shangguan Yun's persuasion seemed to have failed, but he did not look disappointed on his way to the Hui Kingdom .

After tracing him for a long time, Maid Lotus gradually realized that she could never find an opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate a tough and cunning man like him . Instead, she realized that the enemy had begun to be aware that something was wrong .

One day, Maid Lotus had eavesdropped on one of Chipo's conversations with some others . In this conversation, they mentioned Shangguan Yun's plot against the Dragon King after his return to the Hui Kingdom . Besides that, they also vaguely expressed their fear of Maid Lotus . Upon hearing this, Maid Lotus came up with a good idea .

A disciple of New Moon Hall altered her appearance and pretended to be Maid Lotus . Then, this disciple was asked to a.s.sa.s.sinate Shangguan Yun with Maid Lotus' sword . In the end, she was ambushed and killed instead of the Managing Master .

Ever since then, Maid Lotus had been considered a "dead person" . She came back and arrived at the Capital of the Hui Kingdom the day before Shangguan Yun . Next, she changed her ident.i.ty and pretended to be Han Fen, aiming to make Shangguan Yun let down his guard .

Her plan almost succeeded . She found that Shangguan Yun's intention was not to kill the Dragon King . He gave the Dragon King a slap, and then fled . During the process, Maid Lotus had no chance to use her sword .

"Ah, Han Fen, no, you're Maid Lotus . . . you really fooled me," Gu Shenwei said . He didn't recognize Maid Lotus until she reached the exit of the secret chamber . Before that, he had never suspected this crazy, but innocent girl .

"Han Fen is the one I trust the most in New Moon Hall . I know her very well," Maid Lotus said .

After finis.h.i.+ng her story, she walked into the camp of the Dragon Army with them, which startled the soldiers were because they thought that she was dead . Maid Lotus said coolly, "I heard that you'll marry the Princess soon . Congratulations!"

"Thanks," replied Gu Shenwei without another word . He sometimes wondered whether he had stayed in the Hui Kingdom for two months just to dodge that wedding . "During that period, I received several letters from Zhong Heng . In those letters, he invited me to return to the Stone Kingdom, but I found all kinds of excuses to refuse . Although we didn't mention the Princess or the wedding ceremony, we both knew that was the reason for our correspondence," Gu Shenwei thought to himself .

Chu Nanping was the second one who explained to the Dragon King . Because other people were still weak, he was the only one who could manage to talk .

According to Chu Nanping, Hu s.h.i.+ning had hidden in the remote mountains with his many apprentices immediately after Shu-lik was broken . Since then, he had sent disciples to collect information in the city every day . After hearing that the Dragon King was dead, he had asked the disciples to leave, but only a few kids actually did . Most of them were willing to be killers without a master instead of returning to their former lives .

Most of them were willing to be killers without a master instead of returning to their former lives .

Later, when he heard about the Dragon King's return to the Western Region, Hu s.h.i.+ning was overjoyed . He immediately asked his apprentices to pretend to be beggars and sent them to Xiaoyao Lake in groups .

Things happened as Gu Shenwei had predicted . Noticing that suspicious characters kept entering the capital of the Hui Kingdom, Hu s.h.i.+ning sent Chu Nanping to lure the enemies out . His plan failed, though . Those enemies had prepared in advance, so they surrounded them immediately .

Hu s.h.i.+ning only had about 40 subordinates, all around the age of ten . Given that, they were no match for Golden Roc killers . In the fight, most of them were caught alive, as ordered by Shangguan Yun . A few were killed, and Chu Nanping was the only one who managed to escape .

Later, those kids were locked up in the dungeon of the Royal Palace . Chu Nanping was also trapped and caught within a couple of days .

Before leaving the Hui Kingdom, Shangguan Yun spent three days chatting with each of them alone . After that, a couple of apprentices came onto his side . Many hadn't changed their minds, but their att.i.tude toward the Third Young Master of Golden Roc Fort changed dramatically . Their fear turned to admiration and reverence .

Shangguan Yun knew that Chu Nanping had been a disciple of the Joy Pavilion . To get close to Chu Nanping, he told him that they had met each once before, when he was learning martial arts at the Joy Pavilion . But Chu Nanping didn't talk much about that meeting, acting as if he didn't care about it .

Chu Nanping was as cold and composed as before . After being rescued, he didn't seem very surprised, nor had joy appeared on his face at the sight of Gu Shenwei, even though they hadn't seen each other for days . He briefly told Gu Shenwei what he had undergone, and then asked, "Did you force Tie Linglong to leave?"

"Yes," said Gu Shenwei .

"But she didn't come back to Shu-lik," said Chu Nanping .

Their conversation was over .

Hu s.h.i.+ning begged to meet the Dragon King to remind him of his duty . He said to Gu Shenwei anxiously, "These kids have become a threat to us . After the Third Young Master's brainwas.h.i.+ng, they have changed their minds, even though they don't speak it . Please find a way to solve this soon . "

Shangguan Yun hadn't killed all of them . Instead, he left most of them alive and brainwashed them . He wanted to see what decision the Dragon King would make: To kill them all or risk raising them, always being wary of their betrayal .

Gu Shenwei wouldn't kill them all . If he did, he would be the loser in this game with Shangguan Yun .

Shangguan Hong was the third one that the Dragon King questioned . Gu Shenwei captured him in the end . Before that, he had been caught by Shangguan Jianyi and the Third Young Master . None of them treated him as the son of the Supreme King .

Knowing the situation he was in, his face turned pale . He said with a fawning smile, "Dragon King, it's useless to kill me . I'm nothing . Besides, the Third Young . . . Shangguan Yun asked me to tell you, 'The glorious era of killers has pa.s.sed . From today on, no more a.s.sa.s.sinations . Let's fight in the battlefield, fair and square .
