Lineage of the Emperor's Heir

  Liu Quan saw Wei Zhan and Si Tu Ping heavily injured and unconscious, he was so angry that his hair stood on end. Seeing that the opponent did not dare to show their head, he took out an ancient lamp-shaped magic treasure. This treasure was called Han Xi Zhao, which was refined by his master Ku Tie Long Lao from the horn of the cold rhinoceros in the vast wilderness. It was specially used to break various stealth techniques. Below it was a handle, and with a light swing, a large area of cold flames and chilliness burst out, sweeping away the place where Hui Ming's stealth technique was immediately broken.

  Liu Quan saw Hui Ming's disbelieving face and didn't say a word, stretching out his hand to point, the two flying swords crossed and cut off.

  Huì Míng hastily transformed into a golden light and flew away, Liu Quán's dual swords closely pursued from behind, wherever they passed, trees fell one after another.

  Liu Quan's sword moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he had caught up to Huiming from behind. Just as he was about to chop him into three pieces, a sudden Buddhist chant rang out, and three beams of light - green, red, and black - descended from thin air, blocking his twin swords. Liu Quan looked out towards the forest and saw a tall, slender monk with a long eyebrow standing on his sword, facing off against him. Behind the monk stood three assistants. Liu Quan's heart was slightly shocked: The Five Tai Sect hadn't even opened its doors yet, and already so many people had come knocking!

  Zhitong was also shocked, thinking where a master like this came from! Suddenly seeing that Liu Quan's flying sword was the Wind and Fire Twin Swords of Wu Yuanzhi, one of the Luofu Seven Immortals of Emei School, he angrily shouted: "You Emei School's running dog, dare to come to Wutai Mountain and commit murder, today you can't escape justice!" After speaking, he launched a fierce attack with the authentic Taiyi Sword Technique of Wutai School.

  Zhitong is the eldest son and grandson of the Wutai Sect, while Liu Quan followed Xili Old Buddha and Kuti Old Master to learn Taoism. Especially Xili Old Buddha was the founder of the Western Magic Sect, a contemporary of Taiyi Hunyuan Zushi, and Liu Quan's swordsmanship learned from his two teachers was astonishing. After three years, he further refined his skills in Maoshan, mastering the Wutai Sect's sword techniques to an even higher level.

  The two of them tied the five swords together, killing each other in a difficult and inseparable way. Suddenly, they saw Qin Lang and Mao Tai standing beside them, shouting loudly: "Don't you hurry to help your junior brother up and take him to the Seven Star Temple to find your master for treatment?"

  Qin Lang loudly persuaded: "Two of you quickly stop, must not..."

  He didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by Mao Tai: "Let's deal with the two little ones first!" After saying that, he dragged Qin Lang to pick up Si Tu Ping, and let Qin Lang carry Wei Zhan on his back, taking big strides to rush up the mountain.

  Qin Lang initially wanted to send the two to the Temple of Seven Stars first, and then ask Master Fa Yuan to come down from the mountain to mediate. But unexpectedly, Mao Tai pulled him towards a fork in the road, and he wondered in his heart: "Younger brother, what are you doing? Where is this going?"

  Maotai said, "Liuquan is after all a half-baked outsider who has come from afar. He absolutely won't be able to get the better of Shang Zhitong, our senior brother. Let's hide them both for now and settle accounts later - that will also be a good tactic."

  Qin Lang was shocked and frightened: "Are you crazy! This is our real fellow apprentice, let alone Wei Zhan, the child in your arms is actually a direct disciple of Master Yue's, it's already wrong for both sides to misunderstand and fight, you don't send him to find his master to remove the fire poison quickly, but instead want to take him away, what if something happens in the future and he falls ill, can you bear Master Yue's thunderous anger?! Are you still thinking this is like when you were a bandit in Nan Qi Province, kidnapping and killing people?!"

  Two men were arguing, when suddenly a sword light flashed across the sky, and Yu De descended: "What are you doing? Do you know who is fighting with swords under the mountain? Which two fellow disciples were injured by whom?"

  Qin Lang was about to speak, but was preempted by Mao Tai: "These two young whippersnappers have been speaking ill of our Shifu behind his back. Coincidentally, Master Zhitong brought his four top disciples over and they happened to overhear them. They took it upon themselves to teach these two a lesson. That Liu fellow got angry and started a fight."

  Yu Deyi listened, and immediately said anxiously: "Then why don't you quickly send the two junior brothers to report to Master in the Seven Star Hall!" After finishing speaking, he stepped on his foot again, and flew into the air, rushing to the front of the Yellow Dragon Palace at the fastest speed.

  Liu Quan and Zhitong were already red-eyed from their intense battle, the Four Great Golden Arhats saw that the enemy was ferocious, and their master was at a disadvantage, so they all came to help. Huiming swung his lotus lantern and released Buddhist fire to burn everything on the ground, Hui Neng struck down the demon-subduing treasure pestle from mid-air, Hui Xing raised the jade pagoda to suppress Liu Quan, and Hui Xing also released the revolving sutra wheel, wanting to use numbers to bully the few.

  Liu Quan engaged in a sword fight with Zhi Tong, and had already discerned that he was using the authentic sword techniques of the Wutai Sect. He suspected that Zhi Tong might be one of the fellow disciples of the Wutai Sect who would return to contend for the Taiyi Five Smoke Luo and the Hunyuan Dao Book. Previously, Liu Quan had heard Yue Qing mention several times that these brothers might come back to fight over the treasures, so he had already felt a sense of disgust towards them. Now, seeing that they had injured Wei Zhan and Si Tu Ping, while Qin Lang and Mao Tai remained unscathed, Liu Quan thought that his opponents were intentionally targeting him. He wanted to show off his sword skills, lest he be looked down upon by the others. Therefore, he only sought to compete with Zhi Tong in a test of swordsmanship.

  At this time, the four great Vajras simultaneously took action. Liu Quan no longer showed mercy and first released the divine thunder golden light halberd. A bolt of golden lightning shot towards Hui Ming, who wanted to dodge but was too late. He was pierced through his thigh, with all his tendons and bones shattered, leaving only a piece of skin still connecting him. The pain made him scream like a slaughtered pig as he fell to the ground. Almost simultaneously, Hui Neng was also struck by Liu Quan's golden phoenix divine scissors, which cut off both his legs at the knee.

  Liu Quan combined his twin swords, slanting and flying through the air, then took out the Qinglian bottle again. Five-colored lights burst out, and with a wave of his hand, he sucked in the Suoyou treasure pagoda and the Zhuanjing golden wheel into the bottle.

  Zhī Tōng let out a furious roar and was about to release the Emerald Needle that Tuó Tuó Dà Shī had passed down to him.

  Yu Dejia rushed over at this time and shouted loudly: "The two of you stop quickly! They are our own people!"

  Liu Quan had already guessed that Zhi Tong was a fellow disciple of the Five Towers, so he sheathed his sword and stood in mid-air without saying a word.

  Zhitong was shocked, he saw Liu Quan's swordsmanship was very shallow and messy, and thought it was that loose immortal who stole the sect's sword technique to occupy the mountain gate again. Unexpectedly, Yu De shouted that he was his own man. He withdrew the Three Treasures Sword Method, stood solemnly, and looked at Liu Quan with a changing expression.

  Yu De let out a sigh of relief as both sides finally stopped: "This is truly a case of 'a flood destroying the Dragon King Temple', where family members don't recognize each other! Come, come, I'll introduce you. This is the sole disciple of Tuo Tuo Shifu, the abbot of Chengdu Ci Yun Temple, Master Zhitong; and this is Liu Quan Shifu, newly arrived on the mountain, introduced by Yue Shushu."

  Liu Quan had heard of Zhitong's reputation and nodded slightly. He thought he was a generation higher than his opponent, so the other party should speak first.

  Zhī Tōng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Liú Quán: "Did Master Yuè recommend you to come up the mountain?" He didn't speak to Liú Quán, but instead said to Yú Dé, "Let's talk about it after we see Master Yuè face-to-face. My two disciples are injured, hurry up and send someone over to treat them. I'll go up the mountain now to see your master, is he in the Qi Xīng Temple?"

  Yu De Dao said: "My master and Xu Shigu are in the Seven Star Temple repairing the formation on the Seven Star Platform, while Yue Shishu is inspecting the Heavenly Furnace on North Mountain."

  Zhī Tōng heard the three words "Tiān Gōng Lú" and his eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, then he mounted his sword and flew towards the Qi Xing Hall, without saying a word to Liu Quan from start to finish.

  Liu Quan was secretly annoyed, so he also rode his sword to find Wei Xuan and the others. Fortunately, Qin Lang finally became tough and didn't let Mao Tai do as he pleased, bringing Wei Xuan and Si Tu Ping back to the Seven Star Temple. Fa Yuan saw this and was shocked: "How did you manage this?"

  Mao Tai took the initiative to explain the reason on one side and naturally pushed all the responsibility onto the two people who were unconscious.

  Xu Fei Niang silently approached to examine the injuries of the two: "It's Ming Wang's fire poison, their internal organs have been affected by the fire toxin. Fortunately, both of them have already completed the training of the Five Elements Chapter, and their bodies are filled with the five elements, so they are not seriously injured." She took out medicine for the two to take, and applied ointment to their wounds. Before she finished, Zhi Tong arrived.

  Zhī Tōng's expression turned cold as he looked at Fǎ Yuán, but his eyes were filled with disdain when he turned to Xǔ Fēi Niáng: "I remember that when our ancestor was in trouble, you claimed to have withdrawn from the Wǔ Tái Sect and wanted to 'turn over a new leaf', no longer getting involved in the conflicts between the two sects. Yet, you often secretly met with Cān Xiá Zǐ Ní and Xún Lán Yīn, that despicable person. What brings you back to Wǔ Tái Mountain now?"

  Xu Fei's wife coldly said: "How I act is none of your business! Even if your master were here, you wouldn't dare speak to me like this!"

  "You!" Zhitong's face turned red with rage, and he wished he could release his flying sword on the spot to kill him.

  "Don't be rude!" Fa Yuan hastily came over to mediate, "Xu Shimei was just pretending to get along with the Emei Sect. Over the years, she has been hiding her light and biding her time under the nose of the Emei Sect, doing many things and even stealing a lot of information about the Emei Sect. She even got her hands on the Yuanyuan Sword Classic."

  Zhī Tōng snorted coldly and looked at Xǔ Fēi Niáng: "Is it really like this?"

  Xu Fei simply ignored him and bent down to apply ointment to the wounds on both of Situ Ping's bodies.

  The sword light flashed outside the hall, and Liu Quan walked in hastily.
