Chapter 186 The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Zhou Zhiruo 5
At this point, the White-browed Eagle King was overjoyed to learn that Zhang Wuji was his grandson. However, despite this, everyone remained in the secret passage to heal their wounds. Because Zhang Wuji had failed to successfully cultivate the Great Shift of the Universe, the group did not nominate him for the position of leader, but they expressed their sincere gratitude for his efforts for the Ming Cult. As for Xiao Zhao, she remained in disguise and continued her search for the secret technique of the Great Shift of the Universe throughout the Ming Cult. However, unknown to everyone, the secret technique had been incinerated by Zhou Zhiruo.
On the way back to Emei, Zhou Zhiruo asked in confusion, "Master, why don't we save the other six sects?" Nun Miejue gently stroked her forehead and said earnestly, "If you save them now, they won't be grateful to you. Instead, they'll blame you for not speaking frankly and causing such a threat."
Zhou Zhiruo asked, puzzled, "I told them, but they didn't listen." Miejue smiled and said, "That's because you were insignificant at the time..." Then Miejue led the others back to Emei. Recently, Miejue had been training Zhou Zhiruo like a successor, announcing her as the next leader in front of the other disciples and privately telling her the secret of the Heavenly Sword. That day, Zhao Min brought the two Xuanming Elders to Emei, disguised as members of the Ming Cult.
When Nun Miejue saw Zhao Min, she said, "I never knew that Princess Minmin actually defected to the Ming Cult and became a follower of the Ming Cult!" Her words were full of contempt and disdain.
Zhao Min's face flushed with anger upon hearing this. She shouted, "Nonsense! When did this princess defect to the Ming Cult?" Then she ordered Ah Da, Ah Er, and the others to attack. In a flash, they appeared before the Emei disciples, and a fierce battle ensued. For a moment, the Emei sect was at a disadvantage, being beaten back step by step.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo stepped forward, caught Ding Minjun, who had been knocked away by Ah Da, and then struck Ah San with a backhand palm. Then, she quickly made another move, tightly grasped Zhao Min, and threatened, "Go back and tell Prince Ruyang that if he wants Princess Minmin back, he must exchange her for someone from one of the six major sects. If she doesn't see her for a month, I will cut off one of her fingers every day!"
Seeing the situation was dire, the two Xuanming Elders hurriedly turned and left. Meanwhile, the Ming Cult also learned that, with the exception of the Wudang and Emei sects, the remaining four major sects had been captured by the imperial court. To rescue these sects, the Ming Cult decided to send scouts to investigate and prepare a rescue operation. This would not only free the trapped sects but also resolve the grievances between them and the six major sects.
Upon receiving the news, Prince Ruyang was furious and sent word to Emei to bring Princess Minmin to Dadu for exchange. Seeing this, Miejue frowned, and Zhou Zhiruo told her to agree to their terms. She wasn't going to make an honest deal, but to steal the antidote and then set fire to the palace. Miejue told Zhou Zhiruo to be careful while she left with the main force, taking Zhao Min with her. Zhou Zhiruo arrived at Prince Ruyang's mansion and the Xuanming Elders' room, where she took the Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder and the antidote. She disabled both of their martial arts and knocked them unconscious. She then added Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder to the kitchen and well in the palace, then went to Wan'an Temple, where martial artists were being held, to distribute the antidote and bide their time to escape. She then set fire to the temple and waited for her chance to escape. Upon learning that the captured martial artists had fled, Prince Ruyang discovered he had been poisoned by the Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder and was about to pursue them, only to find he had been poisoned by the Ten Fragrance Muscle Softening Powder. He sent for the Xuanming Elders, only to find them knocked unconscious and their martial arts disabled. The Ming Cult, upon learning of the news, united with martial artists and attacked the imperial court, forcing the Yuan army to retreat. Later, Zhou Zhiruo traveled to Ice and Fire Island and demanded the Dragon Slaying Sword from the Golden Lion King in exchange for killing Yuan Zhen. She retrieved the sword and the military manual inside and gave them to a Ming Cult member named Zhu Yuanzhang, telling him that if he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and treated the people poorly, she would return with the Heavenly Sword. As for Zhang Wuji, he didn't have many female confidantes in his life. He became a minor steward in the Ming Cult and was with Xiao Zhao.
After returning to Emei, Miejue passed the leadership to Zhou Zhiruo. Zhiruo then taught the Nine Yin Manual, retrieved from the Heavenly Sword, to the Emei female disciples, and from then on, Emei's martial arts became a leading force in the martial arts world. During her breaks, Miejue would often urge Zhiruo to marry, but she always declined. Later, she adopted an orphan as her daughter until she sent Miejue away and her daughter, Zhou Xixi, grew up. Zhou Zhiruo passed the leadership to her, then left Emei to travel the vast landscape, never returning to Emei until her death.
System: "Congratulations to the host, you have accelerated the change of dynasty, and obtained 50 merits and 5000 points as reward. A total of points." Feng Xi told the system the old rules. She absorbed the merits, spent 9000 points to exchange for Tai Chi Fist, Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Mentality, and the remaining 2 points were used to upgrade the system, and the rest was kept.
System: "Okay, host. Remaining points, merit zero. Teleport to the next mission world..."
