Chapter 912: Chapter 416: After the Burial, Lady’s Situation, Sword Alliance’s Search, Hidden Rumors!

Bai Caiwei was intrigued and said, "Tell me more about the Bow Drawing Shooting the Sky technique." Han Niannian responded, "Could it be..." She seemed to know, yet didn’t fully understand, and eventually couldn’t figure it out, so she refrained from saying more. Bai Caiwei explained, "It’s a technique that requires lying flat with your waist on the ground, legs bent, arms behind your back. It’s similar in effect to the Heaven Flipping technique, but in this case, the hands and feet point towards the sky, face towards the earth, with your entire body arched like a bow, resembling a drawn bowstring. This technique prevents energy from gathering at the Yongquan acupoint; the body becomes like a floating bubble, unable to exert any force."

The three women were greatly surprised, each touching their chin, pondering how to break the situation. Li Xian couldn’t help but internally criticize, "These women truly are odd, not discussing pleasantries, but rather how to extricate themselves from difficulty."

And so, they chatted for a long time. Suddenly, Han Niannian asked, "Sister Caiwei, how do you know so much?"

Bai Caiwei lightly coughed and said, "The Flower Cage sect is a formidable enemy; how could we be careless? To know oneself and one’s enemy is to achieve victory in every battle. I have a female relative who was recently brought back to Jade City. Many of these techniques I learned from her."

Yao Yin, upon understanding this, dared not underestimate the Flower Cage Sect and said, "I’ve taken in what you said and will pay attention to this matter. But in some time, my sect’s senior brothers and sisters will come to Jade City for purchasing."

Yao Yin said, "At that time, I will introduce them for assistance, and when we return to the sect, we will follow them. I believe that if there are Flower Thieves, they will avoid confrontation and dare not provoke us. Besides, these thieves are ultimately insignificant and cannot become a major threat."

Bai Caiwei replied, "That’s true. If a small sect like the Flower Cage could make us walk on eggshells in the Jianghu, it would be disheartening. We may hail from Jade City, yet in the grand view, we are people of Jianghu."

As she said this, Bai Caiwei, despite being female, demonstrated courage and spirit not inferior to Jianghu heroes. The women toasted and drank freely, even though the drink was not strong, it brought about brief euphoria.

Huang A-Xia said, "I am rather curious about what happened to the women captured by the Flower Cage Sect?" Bai Caiwei blushed slightly and explained, "When the Water Altar was destroyed, many troubled women were rescued. Some are from Jade City and have returned. I have been in contact with them; they are all beautiful and reputable, skilled in Martial Arts. It was unfortunate they were delayed by these criminals. But with diligent practice, they can gradually recover in the future."

"The evil criminals were captured and have been severely punished, which is indeed heartening!"

Huang A-Xia suddenly recalled something and laughed, "Speaking of the Flower Cage Sect, I remembered another Jianghu rumor: the alliance between Yueshan Sword Sect, Lakeshan Sword Sect, Jiushan Sword Sect, Yangshan Sword Sect, and Li Mountain Sword Sect. Have you heard of it?"

Yao Yin nodded and said, "I’ve heard it. Our Natural Sect is located along the Guanlong Dao, near Xifu, which is distant, but the sect elders once cooperated with Yueshan Sword Sect and Yangshan Sword Sect in a demon-slaying operation. Our sect elders had great admiration for the people of these sword sects. Upon learning of the Five Sects Alliance, which is a cause for celebration for righteous paths worldwide, we wrote congratulatory messages, having disciples visit various sects to deliver them. Though I am not particularly capable, the sect elders have high regard for me, and my credentials are decent. As a somewhat presentable figure of our sect, I personally held the congratulatory message and led four disciples to visit Jiushan and Li Mountain to deliver it. We used this opportunity to hone our skills, slaying demons and punishing thieves, indeed quite an adventure!"

Han Niannian playfully said, "Oh my, the not-so-capable sect figure, look what she can do!" Yao Yin blushed and glared back in anger, yet it was true.

Bai Caiwei laughed and said, "Did you encounter any promising sword sect heroes, how do they look? If they’re good, you might introduce them to Jade City?"

Yao Yin replied, "Sword sects are founded on mountains, embodying the spirit of swords, with a righteous style. Although the mountain gates aren’t as prosperous as Jade City, standing tall among the mountains, their grandeur and sword presence are unparalleled elsewhere. Many young heroes indeed, and during the delivery of the congratulatory message, the sword sects were hosting a banquet, with guests from Copper Body Gate and Golden Net Sect congratulating them. We stayed for several days, caught a glimpse, and engaged in minor exchanges before leaving. Although I met many young heroes, I had no opportunity to help you charm anyone!"

Yao Yin asked, "Haven’t you heard anything strange or peculiar? A-Xia, please continue." Huang A-Xia asked, "You’ve been to the sword sect, did you inquire about the alliance, when Flower Thieves destabilized Jieyou Tower, secretly capturing sword sect women?"

Yao Yin said mysteriously, "The elders didn’t tell me in detail; I only learned later that during the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, so much happened that nearly ended up with Flower Thieves wreaking havoc. However, it has been resolved, and there’s no point in discussing it further. Flower Thieves are cunning, but the sword sect elders and disciples came together to avert the crisis, turning it into a feat worth telling."

Bai Caiwei said, "The alliance issue is full of twists, I know about it too." Han Niannian nodded in agreement.

Huang A-Xia said, "I have a friend who is a disciple of the Yueshan Sword Sect. Recently, she came to Jade City with her master for trade. I hosted a banquet and discussed sword alliance matters, but what my friend said completely differed from the rumors."

The three women curiously said, "Oh?" Huang A-Xia continued, "The rumor is that a disciple named ’Hua Wuque’ captured sword sect women, and if it wasn’t for the sword sect’s timely rescue, they might have been ruined. The alliance could have been postponed indefinitely until it could be established again."

The three women said, "Indeed." Huang A-Xia replied, "The truth is entirely different; that criminal Hua Wuque was not an evil person but rather the greatest benefactor of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance!"

Bai Caiwei, Yao Yin, and Han Niannian were all shocked, eyes wide open, and pursued, "Is this true? You must be joking! How could this be possible?"
