Qiu Qianren saw Guo Jing's left arm moved while his right arm loose; but suddenly the right arm thrust forward and hit Qiu Qianren on the right shoulder, followed by a punch on his chest. Qiu Qianren's body flew out of the hall through the main entrance like a kite with broken string!

Everybody uttered a startled cry. But somebody suddenly appeared at the entrance. She held Qiu Qianren on his collar, entering the main hall in big strides. She put Qiu Qianren down on the floor and stood stoically at the center of the hall. Her face was cold without any expression. Her long hair scattered on her shoulder. Her head looked up. She was none other than the Iron Corpse Mei Chaofeng. Every heart skipped a beat.

Behind her was another person no less peculiar than the Iron Corpse. That person was tall and rather thin; wearing a dark green robe. His countenance was pale and expressionless. Other than his rolling eyes, the rest of his face was stiff like a wooden statue. He stood still and stiff like a standing corpse. As soon as everybody saw this person, a chill crept on their backs. They immediately turned their gaze away from this person, did not dare to look at his face anymore; their hearts thumping.

Master Lu was perplexed. He would never think that the world famous Qiu Qianren would unexpectedly collapsed just from the first blow of his opponent. He was going to smile, but seeing Mei Chaofeng arrived his smile froze.

Wanyan Kang saw his master and was very excited. He immediately stepped forward to pay his respect. Everybody could see these two: master and disciple were actually similar in appearance and could not help but were astonished.

Master Lu raised his cupped fists and said, "Martial Sister Mei, it's been twenty long years. Finally we meet here. How is Martial Brother Chen?"

The Six Freaks exchanged glances with Guo Jing. They clearly heard Master Lu calling her 'Martial Sister', and could not help but feel dismayed. Ke Zhen'E was upset. "We fall into a trap today," he said. "Mei Chaofeng alone is not easy to deal with, now she has her martial brother along."

Huang Rong on the other hand secretly nodded her head. "This Master's martial arts and literature knowledge, as well as his general conduct and manner of speaking resemble those of my father. I had suspected he must have a family relationship with us. Who would have thought he is my father's disciple."

Mei Chaofeng coldly replied, "Is the speaker my martial brother Lu Chengfeng?"

"Yes, I am," answered Master Lu. "Has Martial Sister been well since our last meeting?"

"Why did you ask?" answered Mei Chaofeng. "Both my eyes are blind. Can't you see it? Your Martial Brother Xuanfeng has been murdered a long time ago. That was your expectation, wasn't it?"

Master Lu was both pleasantly surprised and shocked. The Twin Killers of the Dark Wind had roamed the Jianghu and turned it upside-down. How could the Copper Corpse be murdered? But he was also relieved because he had one less formidable enemy; moreover, the one left behind was blind. However, he recalled their apprenticeship together at the Peach Blossom Island, and could not help but feeling sad. "Who had killed Martial Brother Chen?" he sighed and asked. "Has Martial Sister sought revenge?"

"I have wandered everywhere looking for them," Mei Chaofeng answered.

"Let Little Brother help you," Master Lu said. "Afterward we can sort out our own business."

"Humph!" Mei Chaofeng sneered.

"Mei Chaofeng!" Han Baoju could not hold himself. He slapped the table and shouted, "Your archenemies are here!"

He was going to pounce on her, but Quan Jinfa quickly pulled him back. Mei Chaofeng on the other hand, was taken aback. "You … you …" she stammered.

At that time Qiu Qianren – who was silent because he felt chest pain from Guo Jing's punch, felt his pain subsided. He opened his mouth to say, "What is it you were talking about? Revenge? Why, your own master was killed and you don't know it? What kind of hero are you?"

"What did you say?" Mei Chaofeng almost screamed. She tightly crushed Qiu Qianren's hand that he cried in pain, "Let go! Let go!"

Mei Chaofeng ignored him, "What did you say?" she repeated.

"The Master of Peach Blossom Island has been killed!" Qiu Qianren answered.

Lu Chengfeng was really shocked. "Is that true?" he anxiously asked.

"Why not true?" Qiu Qianren answered. "He was surrounded and killed by the Quan Zhen Seven Masters, Wang Chongyang's disciples."

Before he finished speaking Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng have already cried loudly. With a loud thud Huang Rong fell backward from her chair; passed out. Everybody else initially did not believe that with his expertise Huang Yaoshi would easily be killed by anybody, but since it was the Quan Zhen Seven Masters, they had to believe. They knew very well the combined power of Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and the others would be difficult for Huang Yaoshi to fight.

Guo Jing panic, he hugged Huang Rong and called out, "Rong'er, wake up!" He saw Huang Rong's countenance was deathly pale and her breathing uneven; he was even more anxious and called his masters, "Master! Master! Help!"

Zhu Cong immediately came over and examined her nose. "Don't worry," he said. "She was only shocked; she is not going to die." Then he rubbed her 'lao gong xue' [lit. fatigue palace acupoint] slowly transferring his internal energy.

Huang Rong slowly recovered. "Father? Father! I want my Father!" she cried.

Lu Chengfeng was surprised, but immediately realized. "She is Master's daughter. No wonder she knew about the 'Nine Flower Dew Jade Pill'." He shed some tears and loudly called out, "Little Martial Sister, let us go to those scoundrel priests from Quan Zhen to seek revenge. Mei Chaofeng! Are you … are you coming or not? If you don't go, let me fight you to the death right now! It … it was because of you that Master had met his fate."

Lu Guanying saw his father was too deep in sorrow to speak coherently. He quickly support him and urged, "Father, please don't be so sad. We need further consideration."

Lu Chengfeng ignored his son, he cried louder. "Mei Chaofeng! You bitch! How you have done me much harm! You are shameless! You ran away with your man, it was all right with me, but why did you have to steal Master's Nine Yin Manual as well? In his anger he had severed our legs' ligament, we four martial brothers. Not only that, he expelled us from the Peach Blossom Island. I was hoping Master would change his mind and have compassion on us who didn't do anything deserving our punishment. Now he passed away, my hope is shattered …"

"I always thought you are spineless," Mei Chaofeng scolded, "and you are still spineless. Three – four times you have taken other people to deal with us, forcing us – husband and wife to be without shelter, we had to run away for our lives and ended up suffering in the Mongolian desert. Now you don't have guts to seek revenge for our Master, but nagging to settle your own old debts with me. I'll say we go and find those seven scoundrels and deal with them. If you can't walk, I'll carry you!"

All the while Huang Rong was still weeping, "Father! I want my Father!"

Zhu Cong intervened, "Let us ask more clearly," he said, walking toward Qiu Qianren. He brushed some dust on Qiu Qianren's clothes and apologetically said, "My young disciple was ignorant and had offended you, he has no regard of seniority."

Qiu Qianren was angry, "I am old, my eyes are not clear, I let it slipped. Come, let us fight again!"
