She knew Zhou Yong very well. If it was for the Formless Saber, he would never have given it to her.
No wonder he had always been so peaceful, always free and unfettered. After trying his best, he gave up on recultivating and hid his trump card. If he really obtained the Non-Phase Blade, combined with the Heavenly Blade Heart Sutra, the power would be extremely astonishing!
If she had this saber, although she would not be invincible, she would be able to intimidate the masses. The Heavenly Saber Sect's position would be greatly improved, and she would be able to live up to the efforts of the other sects and her Master!
Even though she had become the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Saber Sect, and was able to suppress all voices of dissent with her Martial Arts, allowing her to control the entire Heaven-Saber Sect, she knew that some of the disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect still preferred a male Sect Leader.
She wanted them to understand that a woman like her was more qualified to be the sect leader than a man!
"Sect Leader Xu, follow me!" She stood up and walked out.
Xu Qiang, Chu Li, and Jing Xiaojie followed her out of the main hall and went west through three Moon Gates, three spacious courtyards, and finally arrived at a garden.
There was a small lake in the middle of the garden, the water was sparkling and clear.
There was a winding corridor and a gazebo on the lake, it was elegant and pleasant.
The gazebo was octagonal, the eaves were painted, and the vermilion pillars were shiny.
A middle-aged man in a green shirt stood in the gazebo with his hands behind his back. His handsome face was full of vicissitudes as if he had experienced too many things in the world. Although he still looked middle-aged, his state of mind was old.
He was staring at the fishes in the lake, concentrating his attention and not blinking at all.
"Senior Brother Zhou," Song Manyin called out.
She gracefully stepped onto the winding corridor and arrived at the gazebo with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhou, you seem to be in a good mood. Are you admiring the fish?"
"What else can a cripple do apart from admiring the fish!" Zhou Yong's expression was cold as he glanced at Chu Li and Jing Xiaojie, "It's rare for the Sect Leader to bring outsiders to see me."
"This is Southern Sky Gate Leader Xu," Song Manyin smiled gently, "This is Southern Sky Gate's High Official Li."
"I don't think we have anything to do with Southern Sky Gate?" Zhou Yong frowned as he stared at Chu Li and Xu Qiang. He said coldly, "I've never had any dealings with the Southern Sky Gate. What business do you have with a cripple like me?"
The South-Heaven Gate and the Heaven-Saber Sect were a few hundred thousand li apart. They had never seen each other before, thus they had only heard of their names.
Song Manyin had brought them to find him, so it was definitely not a good thing.
Song Manyin smiled and said, "They came here because of the enmity between me and Fan Yi. Does Senior Brother Fan Yi know them?"
"Fan Yi …" Zhou Yong waved his hand. "I've never heard of him."
Although Fan Yi's reputation was well-known in the sect and within the territory, it had not spread here. After all, he was just a rising star, not the top master in the sect. More importantly, he had not made any achievements and was not famous enough.
Song Manyin said, "Fan Yi's father is called Fan Xue and his mother is Lu Yao. Has Senior Martial Brother Zhou heard of them?"
Zhou Yong waved his hand without hesitation. "I don't know."
Song Manyin chuckled. "Senior Martial Brother Zhou, your martial arts have been crippled, but is your brain also crippled? Senior Brother Fan and Senior Sister Lu don't remember? "
"Fan Xue and Lu Yao …" Zhou Yong pretended to recall and nodded thoughtfully. "I think I remember a little. Our senior martial brothers and sisters?"
"Although Senior Martial Brother Fan and Senior Sister Lu's aptitude was average, they were honest people." Song Manyin sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the heavens were unfair and actually destroyed their sects!"
Zhou Yong snorted and said, "How dare they? Who did it?"
Song Manyin's bright eyes stared at him and there was a smile on her face. "I heard it was you, Senior Martial Brother Zhou."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Yong shouted and said coldly, "Junior Martial Sister Song, are you going to settle old scores with me?"
"I don't understand what Senior Martial Brother Zhou is saying." Song Manyin chuckled and shook her head. "If I really wanted to find trouble with you, would I find such an excuse? Moreover, Sect Leader Xu wouldn't cooperate. "
"Heh, what can a man not do for the sake of beauty?" Zhou Yong cast a sidelong glance at Xu Qiang.
As long as it involved matters between men and women, it would be like yellow mud entering one's pants. She would not be able to clear her name even if she had a mouth. It would greatly damage her prestige as a sect leader. If the sect leader was a man, it would be a romantic affair. However, if it was a woman, it would be completely different.
Who said martial arts was the only way to kill people? With wisdom and words, one could still kill people!
Xu Qiang's face darkened and his eyes suddenly shot out a cold light.
Song Manyin frowned. "Senior Martial Brother Zhou, it seems that you're anxious. How could you say such muddle-headed words! Tell me, where is the Formless Blade? "
"What Formless Blade? Who has the Formless Blade? Don't talk nonsense! "Zhou Yong lowered his voice and shouted.
He was caught off guard as he did not expect this matter to be leaked.
This matter was really flawless. Moreover, after so many years, what should have been buried had already been buried. There would not be any problems.
Song Manyin saw his expression and her heart calmed down. She knew that what Chu Li said was not far from the truth. There was indeed the Formless Blade!
The Formless Blade was too important to her. Even with her temperament, it was inevitable that she would be swayed by gains and losses.
"Senior Martial Brother Zhou, hand over the Formless Blade!" Song Manyin said coldly. "Don't force me to be ruthless!"
"At most, I'll just die." Zhou Yong smiled disdainfully. "Other than this, what else can you do to me, Junior Martial Sister Song?"
"Killing a fellow disciple is a crime!" Song Manyin sneered with a cold face. "Senior Martial Brother Zhou, do you really think it's flawless?"
"There's no proof!" Zhou Yong said indifferently. "We can't ask Fan Yi to come over and testify, can we? How old was he then? How could he recognize the murderer? Everyone will believe that you deliberately framed me! "
Chu Li gave Xu Qiang a look.
Xu Qiang lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Chu Li nodded lightly. "The Formless Blade is here. We'll know once we search it. Moreover, it's easy to make him confess to his crime. Just take one of his personal items!"
"That's right!" Xu Qiang said in a deep voice.
Chu Li said, "Faction Leader, we should leave."
Xu Qiang looked at him deeply and raised his voice. "Faction Leader Song!"
Song Manyin took a step forward and approached him.
Xu Qiang said, "High Official Li, tell Faction Leader Song."
Chu Li looked at Song Manyin and pointed above his head. "The Formless Blade should be in the pavilion. We'll find it if we look carefully."
"… Alright." Song Manyin said, "If we really find the Formless Blade, I'll give Fan Yi an explanation!"
"Thank you very much." Xu Qiang fist saluted. "We'll take our leave first!"
Song Manyin nodded and fist saluted.
Xu Qiang and the other two suddenly disappeared and appeared at the Path of Questioning Heart at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Big Brother Li, what's the rush!" Jing Xiaojie said unhappily as soon as she stood still. "Why don't you wait and see if she'll deal with that guy!"
"It's not good for an outsider to intervene in this matter. Otherwise, it'll leave evidence and put Sect Leader Song in a difficult position." Xu Qiang shook his head. "High Official Li is reliable."
He also had the urge to see if the Formless Blade was there and if it could be found.
After being reminded by Chu Li, he forced himself to leave.
"Will she avenge Senior Martial Brother Fan?" Jing Xiaojie asked.
Xu Qiang looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li sighed. "This can't be predicted. It's all up to Sect Leader Song, but I think she will."
Song Manyin was not so open-minded. She could forgive the disciples in the sect but she would not forgive Zhou Yong. Zhou Yong was too vicious and had done too many things to hurt Song Manyin. She had been looking for a chance to deal with Zhou Yong and finally found it.
