Chapter 55 The Envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty
After dealing with the Quanzhen Sect matter, Li Ke went to the reception room and found Huang Rong and her father, Huang Yaoshi.
"teacher."
Li Ke bowed to Huang Yaoshi as a disciple.
"Oh, that won't do."
Huang Yaoshi immediately stepped forward to help Li Ke up, preventing Li Ke from continuing to perform the disciple's salute.
Li Ke was also greatly surprised after this, wondering why Huang Yaoshi's attitude towards him had become so good.
"Could it be that Master's wife has been resurrected and awakened?"
Li Ke asked, puzzled.
"He was resurrected, but not awakened."
Huang Rong, standing beside her, spoke with a hint of disappointment.
Her mother died in childbirth, so Huang Rong never experienced maternal love growing up.
Now, the mother in the ice crystal coffin has indeed been resurrected after drinking Li Ke's blood, but she is only a living body.
Although it can breathe, has body temperature, and will swallow fresh blood when hungry, it can also open its eyes and stare blankly.
But there was no other spiritual response, as if the mother's soul was not in her body at all.
"Rong'er, your father will definitely develop a martial art that can detect the soul."
Then bring back your mother's soul, resurrect her, and reunite you and your mother.
"Thank you, Father, but please don't overwork yourself. Just do your best."
Huang Rong spoke with concern, worried that her father might overwork himself and damage his health.
"It's alright, at worst I'll just transform myself into an 'undying one'."
As he spoke, Huang Yaoshi looked at Li Ke.
Upon seeing this, Li Ke smiled and said:
"I have no objection, but I suggest that unless absolutely necessary, you should not transform yourself into an 'undying being' so quickly."
After a pause, Li Ke continued:
"I am confident that I will find a way to overcome the sun."
If the teacher drinks my blood now and transforms into an "undying being" with many flaws, he may regret it in the future.
Therefore, I suggest that you refrain from drinking my blood unless absolutely necessary.
Speaking of this, Li Ke also felt a bit nostalgic for Demon Slayer.
Several months have passed since I last parted ways with Demon Slayer Lee in the Gray Fog Space.
I wonder how Li Ke is doing in Demon Slayer. Has he found the Blue Spider Lily and overcome his weakness of being afraid of sunlight?
"You actually have the confidence to overcome the weakness of sunlight?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi showed a thoughtful expression, but did not pursue the matter further.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and the wise Huang Yaoshi would not press further.
"Rong'er, your father is preparing to return to Peach Blossom Island soon to focus on studying the martial arts of soul probing."
"Do you want to return to Peach Blossom Island with your father?"
"I don't want to go back. I want to stay and follow Li Zhiguang. I haven't had enough fun yet."
Huang Rong frowned and said, pursing her lips.
"All right."
Huang Yaoshi said helplessly, knowing the saying that daughters cannot stay at home forever once they grow up, but in the end he did not try to persuade her further.
"Teacher, if you want to develop a martial art that can probe the soul, you will definitely need to consult a hundred different martial arts schools."
I will go and discuss with my grandmaster and Uncle-Master Ma later to obtain for you the Quanzhen Martial Arts, the Twenty-Four Secrets of the Golden Gate and Jade Lock, the Innate Skill, the Nine Yin Manual, the Iron Palm Skill, and other martial arts.
This will allow you to read a bit, which may increase your chances of success.
Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi hesitated for a moment.
Because after his wife died, he vowed never to practice the Nine Yin Manual, and he didn't even want to watch it.
But considering that creating a martial art that probes the soul would indeed require studying the techniques of many different schools, Huang Yaoshi cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'd be very grateful."
At this point, Huang Yaoshi gritted his teeth and said:
"In return, all the martial arts of my Peach Blossom Island can be incorporated into the Quanzhen Sect's heritage."
However, the "Azure Sea Tide Song" is far too harmful; I suggest that one should be very careful in selecting who to teach it.
Huang Yaoshi had no choice but to make this decision, as it was far more important than reviving his wife.
Everything else and all the things he held dear seemed insignificant in the face of Huang Yaoshi at this moment.
Even things he used to value highly, like the inheritance of martial arts and the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, he now takes lightly.
At this moment, all he wanted was to create a divine skill to explore souls, find his wife's soul, resurrect her, and reunite him, his wife, and their daughter.
"That would be perfect. Now I'm even more confident in persuading my grandmaster and Uncle-Master Ma."
After saying goodbye to Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi, Li Ke immediately ran to talk to the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Zhou Botong about the matter.
After all, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen did not actually stay in the Quanzhen Sect for a long time.
Especially the old rascal Zhou Botong, who has a completely restless personality.
If we don't hurry and make things clear while they're still in the Quanzhen Sect, we'll be in trouble.
It's uncertain when we'll be able to see Zhou Botong again, so it's time to settle things quickly.
However, when Li Ke persuaded the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Zhou Botong.
The background and consequences of the "Demon Extermination Conference" incident in Zhongnan Mountain were also quietly spread through the mouths of martial arts practitioners.
When the martial arts practitioners from the five kingdoms of Mongolia, Jin, Song, Western Xia, and Dali learned the cause and effect of the "Demon Extermination Conference" incident.
Especially when they heard that Li Ke had single-handedly fought against thousands of martial arts masters without being at a disadvantage, and had injured hundreds of martial arts masters with just one roar.
The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was disbelief; they couldn't believe that one person could be so powerful.
After all, even Qiao Feng, the Beggar Clan leader who once dominated the martial arts world, couldn't defeat thousands of martial arts masters on his own.
But as they saw their close friends returning one after another, they verified the truth from their own words.
They fell silent, horrified that there was actually someone in this world who could fight against thousands of martial arts masters all by himself!
As they gradually confirmed the veracity of the news, countless people no longer dared to plot against Li Ke.
After all, even thousands of martial arts masters couldn't defeat Li Ke, and hundreds of them were injured, causing many to suffer internal injuries.
What right did these lowly figures of the underworld have to cause trouble for Li Ke and rob him of his blood? Naturally, they all backed down.
This is the reality of the martial arts world, a world where the strong bully the weak.
When you are weak, everyone will come to bully you.
But once you demonstrate your 'invincible' strength, they will obediently put away their ulterior motives and dare not provoke you.
However, while they openly dare not confront Li Ke, it doesn't mean they dare not do so in a softer way.
It was less than a month after the Zhong Nanshan "Demon Extermination Conference" incident ended.
The Southern Song court immediately dispatched envoys, and they left in a great hurry.
In less than fifteen days, they arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain from Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and were about to reach the Quanzhen Sect.
This shows just how much importance the Southern Song court attached to this matter.
