Zhan Zhao Adventures - Chapter Eight (Part II)

Chapter Eight: Vainly Knitting Brows (Part II)

Zhi Hua gave a cold laugh: "What is so remarkable about the Great Compassion Palm, why additionally must I store up mind and calculate thoughts to go stealthily learn it. This set of palm techniques of mine, naturally was personally taught by the Shangqing Temple's abbot."
 
This directness and frankness and faint hatred within his words, conversely let Huo Linglong give a blank start, and say: "The Great Compassion Palm from the beginning is never transmitted outside; since it was personally taught by the Shangqing Temple's abbot, and was not stealthily learned, it clearly was you concealing your surname and burying your name sneaking into the Shangqing Temple, deceiving and obtaining the abbot's trust only then learning it, this is not storing up mind and calculating thoughts, then what is it?"
 
The craftiness and natural-unrestrainedness inside Zhi Hua's eyes, not knowing at what time had already broken into slices and pieces; that which replaced it, was difficult-to-describe resentment, anger, and cruelty. ——Could it be that this is his true pair of eyes?
 
His voice was freezing cold: "I additionally did not have to sneak into the Shangqing Temple to go do any monk. This is what he owed me. He owed me this single lifetime; a mere, petty Great Compassion Palm, then how can it be clear and thoroughly repaid?"
 
Speaking to here, he had already begun to ferociously smile, "Even if he can not transmit it to other people, he however cannot obstruct his face from not transmitting it to his own birthed son, is it or is it not?"
 
This faint single phrase, then already was just as if a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shocking Huo Linglong into a single stagger, retreating back one step, already alarmed and staggered to where she could not speak words out. Even that pair of older sister and younger brother, also with surprise opened large their mouths.
 
He finally spoke it out. Within this boundless rain mist, at the ancient, old, and pacing-around small ferry port, not knowing how, he just faced three of his enemies, and with light sketching and faint writing spoke it out, just as if the hatred accumulated and stagnated within the chest, all along with the poking thorough of this single secret then erupted.
 
He resentfully and powerfully laughed aloud, the mournful and sharp laughing voice already within the hazy light clouds and fine rain echoed and turned: "Speaking it out, who additionally will believe, that this upon the martial forest with a reputation grand and majestic Black Demon Fox, unexpectedly is a bastard son, is a bastard son of this Shangqing Temple abbot who has a mouth full of benevolence, justice, and morality, and seats himself as a chivalrous person!"
 
His laughing voice had already become such that it ordered a person to shudder without being cold.
 
He stepped forward one step, evilly and fiercely again saying: "Toward me, what kind of an unable-to-tell-other-people secret is this additionally? His Shangqing Temple wants to cover-shield and hide-mask, not desiring for outside people to know, how does it additionally concern my business! He is in the position of the Abbot Lord, high and lofty above; since he could deceive an innocent female, why cannot he for this pay a price?"
 
Huo Linglong's heart, suddenly by this hatred was iced to where it shivered. She muttered-wise said: "No wonder six years before, the Shangqing Temple's abbot suddenly passed away into completely empty rest, becoming a single unsolved riddle within the martial forest. One is only afraid that it was he who discovered your true face and look and the purpose of your actions and deeds, and was by you harmed. Originally this is why the Shangqing Temple fought to the death to cover-shield and hide-mask the secret of the Great Compassion Palm being transmitted outside."
 
Speaking to here, thinking of that day inside the shrine of the Wushi Ridge, she herself had almost mistakenly suspected Zhan Zhao, and even more her heart pained like a knife cutting, "It is only that I additionally because of this wronged him!"
 
Zhi Hua gave a cold snort-sound, and said: "That was he himself seeking release. He after all was my life-birthing father, how could I just like this cheaply let him die? He thought that with this single death of his, he could then once and for all finish everything, dissolving and clearing away this portion of kindness and grudge? If it fruitfully and truly were so, this world conversely would be too fair, would it not."
 
The thoughts of Huo Linglong's mind lightning-wise took a turn, a single sentence of words not even thinking about it then rushed out of the mouth: "Originally you precisely used this secret to coerce the Shangqing Temple. You presumably used not using the Great Compassion Palm as a condition, to coerce the Shangqing Temple into not being allowed to interfere in your behavior, otherwise the matter of the Great Compassion Palm being transmitted outside bound to must thunderously spread upon the martial forest, the Shangqing Temple from then on will have its reputation swept to the earth, and this grand and majestic sect within the martial forest, from then on will additionally not exist, is it or is it not?"
 
This turn of words of hers, unexpectedly ordered Zhi Hua's mind and spirit to turn cold, immediately then calming down. When he once again opened his mouth, within the voice there already did not possess the agitation of just now: "Letting these few bald donkeys who command their own lives as the chivalrous way and love to manage other people's idle business shrink their hands and shrink their feet, naturally will lessen and give me much less troublesome business. That one night inside the Chongxiao Tower, if it were not that Zhan Zhao was too thorny and difficult to manage, I additionally would not have been forced to toward him use out the Great Compassion Palm!"
 
He looked at Huo Linglong, inside the eyes again welling up a strand of casual and unmindful craftiness: "No wonder Shao Jizu is unforgettingly mindful toward you; the eldest daughter of the Linglong Mountain Villa being able to possess the Linglong Eye, fruitfully and truly possesses an over-the-top place."
 
This leisurely and unhurried single sequence of words, however appeared as if within a flash of time, let everything all quiet down, quiet to the point of being transparent!
 
Huo Linglong's heart, suddenly was like lake water identical-wise deep and quiet. Looking at Zhi Hua, she quietly-wise said: "Since you not only have to deal with the Huo family's Linglong Eye, but additionally have to drag in the Shangqing Temple, how would Master Zhi just with this stop his hand?"
——That Shangqing Temple's Great Compassion Palm, that Xingyun Manor Feiyun Cavalry's marvelous sword array, that gaze of Chang Hongbi at the time of drawing close to departure.
 
Once it was thousands of heads and tens of thousands of threads of chaotic disorder, cut not broken, managed still tangled; once it was layer-upon-layer and heap-upon-heap of question-shouting and clamor, wanting to speak yet holding back.
 
Finally, within this micro-rain blurred and blind mist, all quieted down; all of the spider-silks and horse-traces, all slowly began to piece and close together, piecing into a single slice of transparent crystal, the grain-routes dense and close, yet appearing clear and distinct like the water within the heart-lake.
 
Within the micro-rain, Huo Linglong's voice was quiet to an extraordinary degree.
 
"Since you dare to move the Linglong Mountain Villa and the Shangqing Temple, why can you then not move the Xingyun Manor and the Hanshui Palace? Your master, originally precisely is the Xingyun Manor's true backer-mountain!"
——"The Xingyun Manor daringly tempted and kidnapped Chang Hongbi, is because although they did not know Chang Hongbi's secret, they however obtained to know that the Hanshui Old Mother already could not leave behind her reliance toward Chang Hongbi. Snatching and capturing away Chang Hongbi, naturally then can control the Hanshui Palace!"
——"The Xingyun Manor possesses a sword array kept secret and not transmitted outside, specifically used to deal with my 'Yin-Yang Han' and the lightness kungfu of 'Frightened Swan's Single Glance'; originally they long since harbored the wild ambition to pick and collapse the Linglong Mountain Villa!"
——"No wonder Jiao Chaogui of the Xingyun Manor merely within a single day, then was able to assemble the Feiyun Cavalry, having preparation and without trouble chasing to the Wushi Ridge. Originally that which I saw that day inside the woods of the Little Hammer Mountain, fundamentally was not the true you, but rather was a fake-made goods dressed into your appearance and look, and you, at that time naturally were within the dark directing everything. I originally said, how did that Thousand Transformations Black Demon Fox become a Thousand Transformations Black Snail. At that time I ought to have thought onto it, that you who are thoroughly proficient in appearance-changing art, the true lightness kungfu that you possess, how again could it be what a fake-made goods can compare and match up to."
 
Speaking to here, her head had already hoisted up: "Your master, even if at present you do not speak, I additionally have already guessed onto a few portions!"
 
Zhi Hua said: "Oh."
 
Huo Linglong said: "In truth, no matter how your calculating and planning is seamless like heavenly clothing, it additionally still has many flaws."
 
Zhi Hua unexpectedly had his expression unchanged, saying: "What flaws?"
 
Huo Linglong said: "Just casually picking a single matter to speak, that Xingyun Manor Feiyun Cavalry's sword array precisely is a flaw——a person who is bound to be able to create out that kind of sword array, is bound by circumstance to be a person who had once seen this 'Yin-Yang Han' and 'Frightened Swan's Single Glance'!"
 
Her gaze stared onto him, and she said: "Although the people who have seen 'Frightened Swan's Single Glance' are very many, the people who understand this lightness kungfu's secret and marvel are however very few. As for the 'Yin-Yang Han', even more for several tens of years it has not left past the ancestor hall of the Linglong Mountain Villa. You yourself also are clear, upon this world, those who are able to simultaneously know of these two pieces of secrets, originally did not possess several; wanting to guess out who your master is, could it additionally still be very difficult?”
