Dongfang Bubai

"Amitabha, young hero, I admire your martial arts skills. I only hope that in the future you can keep the well-being of the people in mind and guide the Ming Cult towards goodness. After all, the sea of suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to return to. Let's stop here today, and Shaolin will withdraw." An old monk muttered to himself, then turned and left without stopping.

Seeing that the two great masters of Wudang Shaolin had left, the remaining people also bid farewell.

"Let this matter rest. The Mount Hua Sect takes its leave..."

"Kunlun Sect disciples, follow me down the mountain..."

"Disciples of the Mount Emei and Kongtong Sects, take your respective leaders and go down the mountain," the old monk said, still thinking about it. He had become the temporary person in charge of the six major sects, settling everyone down the mountain.

A crisis was thus averted.

The subsequent storyline involves the Ming Cult members expressing their gratitude and handing over the Flame Token to Li Wei.

In fact, Li Wei knew what to do next without them having to say anything more.

He first spent two days using the Condor's mobility to bring Golden Flower Granny to Bright Summit. Then, with overwhelming superiority, he defeated the Persian envoy and obtained the book "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

As night fell, in Ming Cult guest room, Li Wei sat cross-legged, cultivating the Nine Yin Manual.

Reaching level 10 in this divine skill is just a matter of a thin veil; it can be achieved in a single night.

With the second Book of Heaven in hand, Li Wei had plenty of time again. In the next four months, all he needed to do was kill Dongfang Bubai to obtain the final Book of Heaven. Once he had all three Book of Heaven, the mission would be complete.

But before that, Li Wei needed to do one more thing.

Two months ago, he visited Wudang Mountain to pay respects to Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang. That visit was very fruitful for Li Wei. Zhang Sanfeng was a figure Li Wei admired greatly. This time, he happened to be in seclusion when Zhang Sanfeng was in retreat, so Li Wei naturally used his own methods to summon Zhang Sanfeng.

This titan of the martial arts world is over a hundred years old and still full of energy, but he is somewhat melancholy because he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and cannot break through to a higher level.

After the competition, Li Wei and Zhang Sanfeng chatted in a meditation room in Wudang for a whole night. Upon learning that the master had such a dilemma, Li Wei suddenly had a brilliant idea.

At that time, he said to Zhang Sanfeng, "If there were an opportunity for you to break through your limits, would you abandon everything here and leave with me?"

Zhang Sanfeng naturally didn't believe it, but Li Wei used some tricks to gain Zhang Sanfeng's trust.

After careful consideration, Zhang Sanfeng agreed to Li Wei's suggestion, but said that he would go to see him again in three months, at which time he would be ready to leave with Li Wei.

Li Wei's suggestion was naturally to bring Zhang Sanfeng to Shadow Street.

With this martial arts master by his side to assist him in the future, he would have no need to worry about any enemy he encountered. Moreover, there were countless cultivation manuals in Shadow Street, and he could obtain them all as long as he had enough points. Therefore, it was also very suitable for Zhang Sanfeng to continue improving his cultivation.

This unexpected situation gave Li Wei a completely new idea.

Imagine that Nina was someone you brought out of the mission world. Similarly, with enough Yellow Paper and points, you can recruit many powerful figures from various mission worlds to become your own fighting force.

At that time, no matter what advanced star field it is, it can all become cannon fodder under the power of these strong people.

In fact, Li Wei also knew that there must have been cases in other star fields where powerful figures from mission worlds were brought out, but the stronger the person, the more restrictions were needed.

After checking the Yellow Paper in his hand, Li Wei realized he still had quite a few he had accumulated over the years. So, he decided to spend the rest of his time visiting the Grandmaster-level experts in this mission world one by one. Those who were willing to go with him would all be brought back to Shadow Street.

However, for now, completing the task is the top priority.

With this in mind, Li Wei continued to cultivate diligently. Finally, at dawn, he raised the Nine Yin Manual to level 10, the Great Perfection.

Currently, Li Wei's Sunflower Divine Skill is at level 10, the Nine Yin Manual is at level 10, the Dharma's Nameless Fist is at level 8, and he has mastered the 'Shockwave Fist' martial art. With such strength, he could even put up a fight against a true grandmaster.

So the next day, Li Wei rode the Condor and flew towards Blackwood Cliff.

He wanted to make contact with Dongfang Bubai first. This guy was incredibly cunning. Firstly, he could test the gap between himself and Dongfang Bubai. Secondly, if he could bring Dongfang Bubai to his side, that would be even better.

Blackwood Cliff is a 15-day journey from Bright Summit. Even with Condor, it would take a full five days to fly there. On the morning of the fifth day, the man and the eagle arrived at Blackwood Cliff.

According to the game's storyline, reaching Blackwood Cliff requires Blackwood Token, since it's a towering cliff that's impossible to climb to the top without a rope.

But now that Li Wei possesses the Condor, he naturally has no need to worry about these things.

Li Wei launched the Condor flying knife from the top of the cliff and leaped down. He grabbed a henchman and, after questioning him, found out where Dongfang Bubai was staying.

It was a recently built garden. Building such a garden on Blackwood Cliff was no easy feat, but that's why Li Wei found it so easily.

After turning over and entering, Li Wei saw a beautiful scene of birds singing and flowers blooming. In this garden, there was even a small lake with lotus flowers and leaves, and several red-tailed carp swimming around in it, looking very carefree.

After walking a few steps, I saw a pavilion across the small lake, exquisitely carved with floral and bird patterns. Inside the pavilion, a person sat on a futon, playing a guzheng.

"Well"

A sigh escaped from the person in the pavilion, seemingly filled with boundless melancholy.

Upon seeing this person, Li Wei's pupils instantly contracted.

Powerful

This person is incredibly strong; her aura is definitely no less than that of a grandmaster. However, she is younger, and most importantly, no matter how Li Wei looks at her, the person in front of him is a woman.

Could it be Dongfang Bubai?

This was completely different from the image of a burly man dressed as a woman, striking seductive poses, that Li Wei had imagined. The woman in the pavilion was dressed in red, with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, and delicate features; she was even more beautiful than some modern celebrities. And there was a touch of heroism in her eyes.

With doubts in his heart, Li Wei held his breath and continued to observe the other party.

The woman in red looked up, her eyes fixed on where Li Wei was hiding, and sighed, "Since you're here, come out. You won't get anything done hiding there."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and an invisible internal force burst forth, striking the artificial rock where Li Wei was hiding.

With a loud bang, the stone shattered, and Li Wei's men had already arrived in the pavilion.

"Such swift movements!" The woman in red glanced sideways at Li Wei, who had suddenly appeared, and sized him up with great interest.

Li Wei's Sunflower Divine Skill comes from the Sunflower Manual, both of which are martial arts that can make people move faster.

"Dongfang Bubai?" Li Wei asked.

The woman in red nodded, then gave a soft hum, her fingers swiftly plucking the strings, sending them flying towards Li Wei once more.

With a seemingly casual flick of his arm, Li Wei delivered a "Shockwave Fist," which felt as if he had struck an invisible wall, causing the air to crack open in several places.

The guqin in Dongfang Bubai's arms also cracked in several places in an instant, and all the strings broke. As a result, the strings that flew towards Li Wei fell to the ground powerlessly when they were less than inches away from Li Wei.

"Your kung fu is impressive; I can't kill you now," Dongfang Bubai said, his eyes lighting up. He then stopped attacking and pointed to another futon in the pavilion, saying, "Since you've come from afar, please sit."

Li Wei didn't refuse and sat down on the soft futon, then looked at Dongfang Bubai with a curious expression.

"You knew I was coming?" Li Wei suddenly asked out of the blue.

Dongfang Bubai nodded without speaking. However, there was a strange meaning in her eyes, and if she didn't say it, no one could guess what she was thinking.

Li Wei, however, had a sudden realization.

"Since you know I'm coming, you should also know why I'm here. If you hand over that thing, you can avoid a fierce battle. Let me warn you beforehand, whether you agree or not, the outcome of this matter will not change." Li Wei stared into Dongfang Bubai's eyes and said, word by word, "No one is invincible."

"Don't you want to know who told me you were coming?" Dongfang Bubai maintained the same expression.

"Who is it?" Li Wei asked, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He knew that perhaps it was the mastermind who had been sabotaging his plans all along, and only 'him' would reveal the information he needed to Dongfang Bubai in order to increase the difficulty of his mission.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Bubai smiled and shook his head, saying slowly and deliberately, "His name cannot be spoken, but... he is there." As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai pointed to the sky.

What does this mean?

Li Wei was visibly taken aback, wondering what Dongfang Bubai was up to. She'd arrived with two deadly attacks, then engaged in casual conversation, clearly revealing that she knew he was coming. This meant Dongfang Bubai must have something to ask for, but why would she bring up the possibility of a "hidden hand"?

The problem is, he suddenly switched to cryptic language halfway through his sentence.

The place where Dongfang Bubai pointed was the sky, and there was nothing there, just emptiness.

Judging from her expression, she wasn't joking.

That means the person who leaked the information about his arrival to Dongfang Bubai was either someone of very high status or someone with formidable combat power.

Still...

Li Wei suddenly paused... He thought of a possibility.

Li Wei took out a piece of Yellow Paper and handed it directly to Dongfang Bubai: "Sign your name, and whatever that guy said to you, he won't threaten you anymore."

Li Wei's trip to Blackwood Cliff was definitely a great success. Initially, he only wanted to make contact with Dongfang Bubai and test his martial arts skills. But now, he has clearly gained something else. So Li Wei decided to take a gamble and try to bring Dongfang Bubai into the camp of the Reincarnators.

The latter hesitated slightly before signing his name on the Yellow Paper.

"Alright, sign your name, and you will no longer be bound by the laws of this world. You can speak now," Li Wei said in a deep voice after watching the Yellow Paper, which had been controlled by Dongfang Bubai, disappear and reappear.
