The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

Chapter 44: Trust and Gratitude


When Xuan Guang, trapped inside the Tai Chi Diagram, saw Qing Yu, the evident fear in his eyes was unmistakable.

Years ago, when he first met Qing Yu, he allowed Qing Yu to draw everyone's attention with a playful mindset, preparing for the coup launched by Prince Zhen Shan.

Back then, Xuan Guang never imagined that years later, the situation would reverse. In the past, he could crush Qing Yu with a flick of his wrist, but now his life was in Qing Yu's hands.

"It's been three or four years since we last met in Northern Zhou, hasn't it, Uncle Master Xuan Guang?" Qing Yu said with a smile, looking at Xuan Guang, who resembled a statue, with some reminiscence in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed since he descended the mountain.

With the memory of a strongest, those past events in the mountains remain vivid, but the current Qing Yu is no longer the Qing Yu of the past.

"Uncle Master Xuanzhen, Uncle Master Xuanfeng, and the two Uncle Masters Ancestors, you have also worked hard," Qing Yu continued, addressing the four who had captured Xuan Guang, "Capturing this traitor must have taken quite a bit of effort from you all."

"Sect Leader overpraises," Xuanfeng said, "This humble Daoist merely opened the barrier; the rest was thanks to my senior sister and the two Uncle Masters' efforts."

"All of you have merit, no need to be modest. Uncle Master Xuanfeng, I have just created the 'Heavenly Scroll' of the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture'. I will pass it to you all as a reward for your meritorious deeds."

Qing Yu waved his hand, manifesting four streams of Spirit Light, imbued with the scriptures of the 'Heavenly Scroll', and transmitted them into the minds of the four.

By inciting the Demon Sect to massacre the Buddhist members, Qing Yu gained another ten thousand Villain Points, adding to the previously accumulated twenty thousand Villain Points, and thus acquired a new scroll of the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture'.

Compared to the overbearing and fierce 'Tear Scroll', the 'Heavenly Scroll' is equally powerful and more suited to Zhenwu Sect's style. Acquiring this scroll, Xuanfeng's progress would not be insignificant, and the other three would also gain benefits.

"The 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture', anyone with merit can be rewarded with it. If the other disciples accomplish great deeds, I will not be stingy either. I hope everyone will work together with one heart to once again bring glory to our Zhenwu Sect."

Qing Yu then looked towards the people inside the Taiji Palace, announcing his decision in a loud voice.

This decision naturally made everyone even more excited. Everyone knows how powerful the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture', which contains the Martial Arts essence of Lord Qingyu's life, is. His willingness to impart it naturally brings immense joy to all.

Unfortunately, those joyful people would never know what secrets lie behind the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture'. Qing Yu actually can't wait for this Martial Arts to spread quickly, hoping that everyone in the world would practice it.

Except for the 'Wasteful Scroll' and the 'Life Scroll', the other nine scrolls can be freely disseminated. However, deliberately spreading it would arouse suspicion, so it is best to set some barriers.

"Sect Leader, how should Xuan Guang be dealt with?"

After everyone's excitement subsided slightly, Xuanfeng asked again.

"Xuan Guang's memory should contain many secrets from the Southern Border. Extract them first," Qing Yu said, "The pain of a Soul Search can also wake up this profit-seeking traitor."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"Two Uncle Masters Ancestors, escort Xuan Guang to the forbidden area of the back mountain first. I will deal with him tomorrow."

"Understood," the Zhenwu Two Elders said in unison.

"Good. You should also go and comprehend the mysteries of the 'Heavenly Scroll'. Everyone, disperse."

Qing Yu gestured, dismissing the crowd.

The Zhenwu Two Elders returned to the forbidden area of the back mountain with the Tai Chi Diagram, and Xuanfeng and the others also dispersed, leaving only Xuanzhen behind.

Qing Yu turned around and walked towards the direction of the side hall, Xuanzhen naturally walked alongside him.

"You worked hard on capturing Xuan Guang," Qing Yu said as they walked.

"You just said that earlier," Xuanzhen teased with a smile, gently tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Earlier was what a Sect Leader should say, now it's sincere."

"Then the efforts of the junior brothers and Uncle Masters seem a bit unworthy."

"Haha, for someone as selfish as me, isn't saying this normal?" Qing Yu replied with a hearty laugh.

Besides, he also imparted the 'Heavenly Scroll' to the other three as a reward. Although this Martial Art hides a huge risk, as long as they do not betray, they will never taste the counterattack.

Aside from the hidden risk, the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' is indeed an unparalleled Divine Skill. Even a single scroll can greatly benefit the strongest.

As the two walked and talked, they unknowingly reached the peak of Chonghe Peak.

The distance from the Taiji Palace to the peak is not short, and the two of them were walking like ordinary people, so it would take at least an hour to reach the peak.

It must be said that the time spent walking with Xuanzhen passed quickly, and in a flash, an hour disappeared.

"You brought me to the peak, you must have something to tell me."

Xuanzhen lightly gathered her Daoist robe below her, sat sideways on the rock beside Taiyuan Pond, with her legs together.

"Did you stay behind because you have something to say?" Qing Yu walked to the edge of the pond, looked at the calm surface, and felt the incoming breeze.

"Then let me speak first," Xuanzhen said, twirling her hair with her jade fingers and with an inexplicable smile, "There should be a problem with the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture'. I've been practicing with you for at least a year, so I'm familiar with your Martial Arts style.

The skill you practice encompasses everything, taking a path of one becoming many and many transforming into one. Although the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' also incorporates the principles of Yin Yang, life, and death, it is fundamentally a product of the Daoist school.

However, you, though deeply versed in Daoist Skills, also have significant accomplishments in Demon Skills and Buddha Skills. To say this Daoist skill is the culmination of your lifetime's Martial Arts is a bit of an exaggeration."

"Can't I be hiding some of it? After all, it's meant to be passed on to others," Qing Yu retorted.

"Haha," Xuanzhen covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "You also said it, you are very selfish, so how could you let your life's work spread freely? The 'Heavenly Scroll' still has a threshold, yet the 'Tear Scroll' is everywhere. By now, it might even be spreading outside the Taoist school."

"Oh~"

Qing Yu glanced sideways, his deep pupils seemingly brewing endless darkness, about to devour the beautiful figure before him, "Aren't you afraid that I will silence you, having seen through my arrangements? With your intelligence, you should know some things are better left unsaid."

"If I don't speak, how can I be considered part of your people?" Xuanzhen met Qing Yu's gaze calmly, "Deliberate concealment actually shows a lack of trust. Hiding things only indicates a deficiency of trust, fearing the other might do something bad.

I trust you, trust that you won't kill me."

The darkness suddenly receded; Qing Yu's pupils clearly reflected Xuanzhen's face, and even his expression softened slightly.

"Then I thank you for your trust."

Qing Yu reached out a hand, pressing it on Xuanzhen's shoulder, and a continuous flow of Life Essence Qi poured into her body, following a certain path, dispelling the hidden dangers within her.

"This is my gratitude for your trust."

Though he did not impart the 'Life Scroll', the hidden dangers in Xuanzhen's body were nonetheless erased by Qing Yu. From now on, she could freely use the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' without fearing any backlash.
