[Linghu Chong tried playing the "Song of Blue Heaven". Althoughthe fingering was not fluent, in addition, several notes were off, from themusic, one could still vision the spectacular spacious view of the cloudlesssky.]
The night was quiet now. The only noise came from the heavy breathings of the many Huashan apprentices.
"Hero Linghu, aren't you going to release my sealed pressure points, or are you waiting for us to beg you?" Yue Buqun suddenly broke the silence in a chilling tone.
Linghu Chong was stunned. "Master, why...why are you kidding me like that? I...I'll help release your pressure points right away." His voice trembled.
Getting back onto his feet after some hard struggles, he staggered by Yue Buqun.
"Ma...Master, which pressure points?" he asked.
Yue Buqun was furious. He remembered how Linghu Chong had put on the act of stabbing himself on Mount Huashan, not wanting to kill Tian Boguang. Then, of course, it was just the same kind of act Linghu Chong was playing right now. This way, he could let the fifteen masked men escape by intentionally not releasing his Master's sealed pressure points for a delay, afraid that his Master would chase after those masked villains. At that thought, he yelled angrily, "Save your breath!"
He continued working on gathering his inner energy using the Divine Art of the Violet Twilight in an effort to break open the sealed points. Ever since the enemy had sealed his pressure points, he had been trying to break them open using his strong inner energy. But the one who had sealed his points did it with a tremendous amount of force, and in addition, among the sealed points were Yu-Zhen, Tan-Zhong, Ju-Zhui, Jian-Zhen, and Zhi-Tang those major pressure points. When he sent his inner energy flowing through his inner channels and passages, the flow was somewhat blocked in those major points, which greatly reduced the power of the Divine Art of Violet Twilight and made it very hard to break them open.
Linghu Chong wanted to help his Master in releasing the sealed pressure points, but he simply didn't have any strength left in him. Again and again, he struggled to raise his arm, but every time the effort only made him feel sick while seeing golden flickers circling in front of his eyes and hearing loud buzzing sound in his ear. So all he could do was to lie next to Yue Buqun and wait for his Master to release his pressure points with his own efforts.
Madam Yue also lay on the ground facing down. Earlier in the state of fury, she had accidentally misdirected her inner energy. As a result, not only couldn't she gather her strength at all, she couldn't even lift her hand up to cover the wounds on her legs.
It was already daybreak by now, and the rain had finally stopped. People's faces became clearer and clearer in the dim light of dawn. A white and thick mist appeared on Yue Buqun's head as he worked hard on breaking his sealed pressure points open. His face almost turned completely purple. Suddenly, he uttered a loud roar as his inner energy finally broke through all his sealed pressure points and begun circulation around his body. Leaping back onto his feet, he circled around all of the Huashan apprentices, patting and smacking on some of them while poking or pinching some others. Within moments, he had opened all the sealed pressure points for everyone. Then sitting by Madam Yue, he started sending his inner energy into Madam Yue through her pressure points to help her redirect her own energy flow. Meanwhile, Yue Lingshan rushed forward hurriedly and started tending the wounds on her mother's legs.
