190: Chapter 70 The Peach Blossom Island Agreement

Seeing Mei Chaofeng attacking, Guo Jing and Mu Nianci intended to join the Jiangnan Six Monsters in the fight.

However, Guo Jing had been hit by a rebounded Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Affected by the injury, he found it difficult to circulate the True Qi within his body for a short time.

Mu Nianci was persuaded to stay back by the Jiangnan Six Monsters.

In the eyes of the Six Monsters, Mu Nianci's Martial Arts were mediocre, and it would be dangerous for her to get involved.

However, just as they were in a perilous situation due to Mei Chaofeng's improved Martial Arts, Mu Nianci couldn't help but strike.

Mei Chaofeng caught an opening and attacked Han Xiaoying's vital points.

Mu Nianci circulated her power and, striking after the opponent but arriving first, forced Mei Chaofeng back with a single palm.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Mei Chaofeng stabilized herself, her face showing shock and suspicion.

She was unfamiliar with the skill in this palm strike and thought another person had arrived.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing were both surprised.

They knew Mu Nianci's Martial Arts from before; she hadn't cultivated Internal Energy and couldn't even compare to them.

Now, being able to force back Mei Chaofeng with a single palm, this progress was truly unexpected.

The Jiangnan Six Monsters were equally astonished, secretly thinking they had misjudged her.

Lu Chengfeng and his son were also surprised, but they soon felt relieved.

Meng Li's Martial Arts could rival Medicine Master Huang's; as his fiancée, it was normal for Mu Nianci to be able to force back Mei Chaofeng.

Mu Nianci didn't care much about everyone's surprise, only replying to Mei Chaofeng: "Mu Nianci."

Then, she added: "Although Brother Jing killed Chen Xuanfeng, it was an accident. Moreover, you were the ones doing evil first. His death is simply karma; you can't blame anyone else."

Mei Chaofeng naturally understood this reasoning.

But Chen Xuanfeng was her husband, and their feelings were deep. Both were also Disciples of Medicine Master Huang, so naturally, she prioritized kinship over reason.

Thus, she said with a cold face: "The debt of my husband's death must be repaid. If you stand in my way, then we shall see who is superior in combat."

Having said that, Mei Chaofeng lunged forward and attacked Mu Nianci with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Mu Nianci had practiced Martial Arts for many years. Recently, she had not only cultivated Internal Energy but also consumed the Medicinal Snake Treasure Soup, and her Martial Arts had received Meng Li's careful guidance. Her strength and insight were no longer what they used to be. After watching for a while, she had a good idea of Mei Chaofeng's Martial Arts, so she faced her now without fear.

Facing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, she first countered with the Roaming Soul Fist taught by Hong Qi, and later mixed in Heart Shattering Palm Moves, fighting Mei Chaofeng to a standstill for a time.

Seeing this, Huang Rong couldn't help but say: "Having not seen her for a short time, Sister Mu's Martial Arts have actually become this formidable. It seems Meng Li has put in a lot of effort."

Guo Jing nodded: "Elder Brother Meng and Sister Nianci are in love and are engaged, so naturally he treats her very well."

"Just like how you are to me, Ronger."

Hearing the last sentence, the corners of Huang Rong's lips curled slightly. Combined with the previous words, another thought arose in her mind.

Meng Li and Mu Nianci were in love and engaged; it was natural for him to put effort into her.

She had also put a lot of effort into Guo Jing, but their relationship wasn't as smooth as Meng Li and Mu Nianci's; instead, they had encountered obstacles.

Thinking of this, Huang Rong couldn't help but feel some sorrow.

At this time, Meng Li and Medicine Master Huang stopped fighting.

Because Medicine Master Huang had noticed the situation here during a gap in the fight, he knew he couldn't do anything to Guo Jing and didn't bother to entangle further.

He flashed back to the scene, glanced at Lu Chengfeng without saying anything, and then called for Mei Chaofeng to stop.

Once Mei Chaofeng and Mu Nianci both stopped, Medicine Master Huang pointed at Guo Jing and said to Meng Li in a deep voice: "You can protect him for a moment, but you cannot protect him for a lifetime."

Hearing this, before Meng Li could respond, Huang Rong flared up first.

She stood in front of Medicine Master Huang and said indignantly: "I won't allow you to kill Brother Jing! If you kill him, I'll die right in front of you!"

Medicine Master Huang glanced at her and said nonchalantly: "Do you think I will be swayed by your threat?"

In reality, he would, but he knew Huang Rong and didn't believe his quirky daughter would actually die for Guo Jing.

Indeed, although Huang Rong spoke fiercely, she didn't actually have any thoughts of seeking death, because things hadn't reached that point yet. She said this more to scare Medicine Master Huang and protect Guo Jing.

Seeing that Medicine Master Huang didn't fall for it, Huang Rong was suddenly distressed and turned to Guo Jing: "Brother Jing, let's go!"

Unexpectedly, Guo Jing said: "Island Master Huang, a man should take responsibility for his own actions."

"I killed Chen Xuanfeng, and I am willing to pay for it with my life. However, I still have a great debt of my father's death to avenge. Please give me one month. After I kill my enemy with my own hands, I will definitely go to Peach Blossom Island to face my death."

Hearing this, the Jiangnan Six Monsters and Huang Rong were shocked.

Mu Nianci, Mei Chaofeng, Lu Chengfeng and his son, and Medicine Master Huang were also surprised.

Only Meng Li was not surprised at all.

Medicine Master Huang took a deep look at Guo Jing: "You said it yourself."

"If you break your promise in a month, I will not only kill you but also won't let your Masters off."

Guo Jing said decisively: "I said it. I will definitely go to Peach Blossom Island in a month."

"Fine, then it's a deal." Medicine Master Huang finalized the matter, then turned to Mei Chaofeng: "Go and do what I told you first. As for avenging Xuanfeng, we'll talk about it in a month."

Mei Chaofeng bowed her head and accepted the command: "Yes."

After saying that, she tilted her ear to judge the direction, preparing to use her Lightness Skill to leave.

But in an instant, Mei Chaofeng seemed to notice something, fumbling around her body while showing panic: "Where is my Nine Yin Manual?"

Then, she crouched down and felt around on the ground: "Which of you took my Nine Yin Manual?"

Medicine Master Huang's face darkened as he looked at Mu Nianci and the Jiangnan Six Monsters, who had just fought with Mei Chaofeng, and questioned: "Which of you took it?"

Mei Chaofeng said: "As long as you return the Nine Yin Manual to me, my grudge with the Jiangnan Six Monsters can be written off, and I can also temporarily let Guo Jing go."

Mu Nianci and the Jiangnan Six Monsters looked at each other and then shook their heads one after another.

Guo Jing opened his mouth and said: "I saw clearly just now, no one took your Nine Yin Manual."

Huang Rong also said: "I also didn't see anyone take it."

Lu Chengfeng also said: "Master, I didn't see anyone take it either."

Meng Li remained silent.

None of them were wrong, because they all thought the Nine Yin Manual was a book.

Even Zhu Cong, who had stolen the manual, only thought he had retrieved the dagger that Qiu Chuji had given back then.

So, every one of their reactions and expressions was not fake.

Medicine Master Huang couldn't see any clues, so he had to say to Mei Chaofeng: "Did you drop it somewhere else?"

Mei Chaofeng also didn't hear any issues in the voices of Guo Jing and the others. Hearing Medicine Master Huang say this, she suddenly began to doubt herself, but soon said firmly: "No, Master. That manual is the only relic the Bandit left me. I have always kept it close to my body; it's impossible to drop it."

"It was still in my bosom before I started fighting just now. It must be here."

Hearing this, Medicine Master Huang was suddenly filled with doubt.

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng said: "Master, why don't I have people search carefully around here?"

Medicine Master Huang nodded.

Lu Chengfeng immediately had Lu Guanying arrange for people to search the surroundings..."}],
