Zhou Yunsheng had not avoided people when he went to attack the Shaolin Temple. Therefore, within a few days, his oath spread across the rivers and lakes.

People who had insulted Zi Xuan for following the Demonic Master's bad example previously, turned their tongues and said that he deserved to achieve the position of senior monk. He had even been able to reform Yu Canghai, that ruthless murderer. It was a good example of cutting meat for eagles and feeding tigers. Privately, of course, they did not stop criticizing the relationship between the two and gradually spread some ugly rumors.

The surviving children of the Seven Families confirmed that the rumors were true and immediately took up weapons and headed to the Shaolin Temple.

The Demonic Master's martial arts was too strong, and his means were too fierce. They couldn't help themselves. Now that he had laid down his butcher knife, they simply wished to quickly send him to the West to enjoy himself and help him to become Buddha as soon as possible.

Such is the case with the world. No matter how precious the golden basin or how pure the water, it could not wash away the blood once it had stained both hands, nor could they wash away all kinds of kindness, resentment, love and hatred. When a man lays down his weapon, he will not be able to idle for the rest of his life, but had to kill more ruthlessly.

Zhou Yunsheng went up the mountain with great vigour. But when he came down the hill, he disappeared and soon quietly reached the General's Palace.

Yuan Kunpeng was playing chess with Ah Qi in the pavilion. He had already lost nineteen sets in a row. He looked at the young man who seemed slightly happy, and displayed a doting look in his eyes. When he wanted to place the chess pieces on a checkerboard, he suddenly saw a man in white clothes descending from the sky and landed steadily on the treetops, his clothes waving in the wind.

"Sect Master!" Ah Qi hurried over, and because he was so excited, he almost fell off the high steps. Fortunately, Yuan Kunpeng came forward in time to catch him in his arms. Only in this manner did he avoid the danger of a bruised nose and swollen face.

"General Yuan seems to be safe and sound." Zhou Yunsheng flew into the pavilion, smiling and cupped his hand in greeting.

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Kunpeng unconsciously held the youth in his arms tightly and said quietly. "At the beginning, we made a deal. Even if you want to quit now, you can't take Ah Qi away."

Ah Qi was held tightly in his arms and his cheeks flushed. He tried to break away from his large hands, but they were like a pair of iron grips, he could not shake them off even the slightest bit. He could only open his mouth with tears in his eyes, "Sect Master, how could you make such a vow? Do you know that this news spreading all over the nation now? Countless people are threatening to kill you. Even those who are not from this nation also want to make a name for themselves by taking your head. The monk is so dull that he took your life as a joke. Can't you just leave him? Maybe you and him really, really..."

It was difficult for him to talk about those dirty rumors, and his cheeks were getting red as if they're bleeding.

Yuan Kunpeng couldn't hold back. He scraped the youth's nose with his rough index finger. Seeing Zhou Yunsheng's eyes sweep over like a knife, he couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not here to take Ah Qi away, but if General Yuan is unable to take care of him, I can always take back my words." Zhou Yunsheng took his seat and looked down at the young man with a soft expression.

"Ah Qi is worried that I would not take care of my life. I only said that I would not kill anyone, but I did not say that I would not kill with a knife." As soon as his voice fell, Ah Qi understood and looked at Yuan Kunpeng with clear eyes without blinking.
