Chapter IV: Meeting of the Orthodox Sects on Mt. Kunlun1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2dG1PfxIp
The sun shines brightly on the clear blue morning sky on Mt. Kunlun. On the Great Hall of the Kunlun School, the Chiefs of Kunlun, Huashan, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong and Qingcheng Sects, as well as the Abbot of Shaolin, meet in order to discuss about how to deal with Lung Chang. All Chiefs are served tea while servants of the Kunlun School fan them with white folding fans. Piao Zhen, Chief of Kunlun Sect, sits on a simple wooden chair on the center of the Hall, in contrast with the other Chiefs who sit on lavishly decorated with gold chairs. All Chiefs, except for Priest Yue Li, Chief of Wudang Sect, and Abbot Yongyu of Shaolin, who wear their religious clothes, wear lavish gowns made of silk. Only Piao Zhen wears a simple black gown.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxwmzXW82L

Piao Zhen smiles and sips his tea. He then says: "Honorable Chiefs of the Orthodox Martial Arts Sects, I welcome all of you to Mt. Kunlun and hope that this meeting shall solve the recent troubles of the Martial Arts World."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazAf3ujK8m
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kxKLNQc2Q
All Chiefs respectfully greet Piao Zhen and thank him for hosting the meeting, except for the Chief of Qingcheng Sect, the elderly Pan Tong, who just sighs. Because Piao Zhen is a relative young Chief, only in his late twenties, Pan Tong, who is in his early eighties, does not respect him much. Piao Zhen ignores Pan Tong's rudeness and continues his speech.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHkPF6oGb
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYcIQUN9os
"Honorable Chiefs, although I am the youngest of all of you and the Kunlun Sect is not nearly as populous or powerful as your Sects, I took the initiative to host a meeting of the Orthodox Sects on Mt. Kunlun because the one who massacred the Guan and Jia families in Kaifeng was once a student of our school."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqRcAkjX3G
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdhG0DSMg
"At least you know your place!", Pan Tong shouts loudly. Piao Zhen, however, manages to stay calm and ignores him. He is not nicknamed 'Gentleman Swordsman' for nothing.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3IPl5sf1o
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDxPWhXcnB
"I do not believe Lung Chang committed those massacres.", Priest Yue Li says. "I met him on Mt. Dragon and he proved to be a real gentleman and a chivalrous hero. Also, if he did commit the murders, why did he wrote his name on the Mansions of the Guan and Jia families?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwhWHikfO9
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBE18pkXHx
"Indeed.", adds Abbot Yongyu of Shaolin, an old man with long white beard, long eyebrows and prayer beads around his neck. "Only a lunatic would do that."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxCXsPuWU1
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNABreWu8Z
"But he is a lunatic.", replies Abbess Meijoui of Emei Sect, an old woman with long grey hair and wearing a grey Taoist robe. Abbess Meijoui is well known for her great martial arts and swordsmanship skills, as well as for her strict moral code. "His killing of Wu Jing last year was witnessed by many people. Also, it is well known that he is very proud. That's why he massacred Master Wu Kang and his entire family after being forced to apologize to them by his Master, the late Master Song Yan. He then murdered his own teacher and the proof for this is that Master Song Yan's last words were Lung Chang's name. He is an erratic man who enjoys gaining fame by massacring people. That's why he paints his name on the walls of the Mansions' of his victims."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR741aAlUi
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ngf3Lp1l7
The rest of the Chiefs applaud Abbess Meijoui and Yue Li and Abbot Yongyu realize that they cannot do anything to help Lung Chang. Although the evidence that Lung Chang's enemies have could not really be called and the most strong, there are nevertheless evidence, while Yue Li and Abbot Yongyu have no evidence of Lung Chang's innocence at all. And since they do not have any evidence, they have to accept the official position of the Orthodox Sects, that Lung Chang is a lunatic murderer.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY8l1RpQL3
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyCVLhaevu
Piao Zhen continues his speech: "Those massacres, and our inability to prevent them, show that there is something wrong with what we are doing. Lung Chang is only one person, but through so many centuries countless such evil people or even whole Sects appear that cause uproar in the Martial Arts World and do not allow peace and justice to exist. Killing Lung Chang could stop the problem for now, but sooner or later an other evil man or organization shall shake the Martial Arts World. The only way to stop this is for all Orthodox Martial Arts Sects to unite."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s4EtpiWD3
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmlFSrylCJ
"Indeed!", Abbess Meijoui agrees. "We should unite in order to stop evil from spreading. Lung Chang is just the problem of those years. A few years later, someone else will appear and cause an uproar. If we unite, however, no evil men shall cause trouble in the Martial Arts World and even if they dare to, we shall be able to respond quickly and with overwhelming force."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJdPvdciL6
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSgr6HIEQz
"I agree!", Pan Tong states. Although he disregards Piao Zhen, he knows that what he said was logical. He also has the ambition of him becoming leader of the new Alliance. "United we are strong, divided we are weak! One arrow can easily be smashed. But many arrows together are impossible to be smashed."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0X56IzYbC
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O5XT5nZVG
Soon, all other Chiefs express their agreement, except for Yue Li and Abbot Yongyu, who do not like the idea of all Orthodox Martial Arts Sects being united under one man. So, when Piao Zhen asks Priest Yue Li for his opinion, he replies: "Our Sects have each a history of hundreds of years. Each Sect has it's own traditions and rules, so how can we possibly merge them and forget our traditions? And how can we trust one man to become leader of the entire Martial Arts World? I strongly disagree!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4JqNEHcC9
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nKGGbD1Ji
"Since Priest Yue Li disagreed, I, Abbot Yongyu of Shaolin, because of the long standing friendship between Shaolin and Wudang, cannot agree."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOQYys1sDB
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsKj2couF
"Very well.", Piao Zhen replies. "However, I would like to ask all Chiefs to stay here in Mt. Kunlun, so we can meet five days later. Merging the Orthodox Sects is an important issue which cannot be decided in just a few minutes. So, in those days, everyone please think about and make a wise decision."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KFCY3GIDI
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcuxq1ZZrI
Many hours later, in the night, Priest Yue Li argues in his room with his brother in arms, Zhang Yude. Although Zhang Yude is a senior of Yue Li, their teacher made Yue Li instead of him Chief of Wudang and this makes Zhang Yude very jealous. However, this is not the reason why they are arguing. The reason is that Zhang Yude is a firm believer of Piao Zhen's proposition and wants the Orthodox Sects to unite.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxobGksfcy
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgXf9u8al7
"Chief!", Zhang shouts, "You should agree to Piao Zhen's proposal. For centuries, the reason the Orthodox Sects have been unable to prevent evil men from doing harm is their disunity. This is a chance to unite and achieve ever lasting peace in the Martial Arts World. How can you refuse it?!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek3LPiFsti
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4c0rVVK8
"Brother Yude, each Sect has a history of hundreds of years. Each Sect has it's own traditions and laws. I am not against closer cooperation between the Orthodox Sects, but we cannot just merge all Sects."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qrVYNQtbN
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwHfE7MCoI
"In my opinion, you are only interested in keeping your position as Chief!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb6Bss6Ee6
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchEOWcTWG
Zhang Yude storms out of the room. He then walks alone on a cliff on Mt. Kunlun and gazes at the bright moon. The moon and the stars on the night sky remind him certain lyrics of Cao Cao's 'Short Song Style' poem:1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZZ58mB74
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUsIHZ8FZZ
"Bright is the moon's spark, when can I pick it apart?" and "Stars around the moons are few, southward the crows flew."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPHiLL2J1g
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWM8Ir3MA2
He sighs as he remembers the day when his teacher gave the 'Seal of Command' to Yue Li instead of him. "Yue Li was my junior, but he became leader of the Sect! It is so unfair. Teacher was biased and a fool.", Zhang Yude thinks. Anger, jealously and hatred flare up within Zhang Yude all at once. "Instead of giving to me the 'Seal of Command', he gave it to that idiot! And now, this stupid and muddle-headed idiot gets on the way of bringing peace to the Martial Arts World! Thanks to his persistence in maintaining his position as Chief, the Orthodox Sects shall never be united!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBY7rJOqE
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsntjAwrCQ
All the anger and jealously of Zhang Yude comes spilling out. He pulls out his sword, a long, elegant and thin blade, roars and practices the 'Divine Gate Thirteen Swords (神門十三劍)' swordplay with immense fury and hatred.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47VSvDVGV6
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7POjvLnIJ
Suddenly, he hears the sound of steps. He turns round and sees an old man, who has long white hair and beard, and wears a brown gown. Zhang Yude had not seen him before on the Mt. and he does not look like a Kunlun student, so who could he be?1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmLxUkHYgi
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuaLqybSOo
"Who are you?", he politely asks the old man.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D8tWl0cOV
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOeXBxNazd
The man just laughs for a few second and then replies: "I am an elder of Wudang Sect."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1u3wGqTqu
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFn1eoBGPv
"That's impossible! I've never seen you and neither teacher nor any other elder of Wudang ever mentioned anything about you."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuckloMmSE
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCGgLTA3Pa
"Ai-ya! So, they forgot about me so quickly?". The old man remains silent for a few seconds before speaking again: "Your teacher must have told you of a man called Sun Shiyi, right?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAyrNZLTv5
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pSQdC5EGS
"Eee......yes, I remember teacher mentioning that man once. He said that Sun Shiyi was his brother in arms. He fell in love with a young and very beautiful woman and she liked him too. But because the woman was the daughter of a high ranking Official and she was very beautiful, she became a concubine of the Taichang Emperor, father of the current Emperor, Emperor Chongzhen. Sun Shiyi went crazy when he learned this and no one knows what happened to him."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJpCmJVeYr
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVXbtGnvIP
"Good. It seems that my brother in arms had not forgotten about me."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq1l820xGf
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRubMQE3jC
Zhang Yude laughs. "Do you expect me to believe that you are Sun Shiyi?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0b8OKVy4F
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YpF7gmOhB
"Let us have a fight and I will prove to you that I really am Sun Shiyi!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35BOTgxYTc
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXKBCGfxJO
"I accept your challenge!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdsubKPDAr
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0iJFt9sCJ
The old man pulls out a narrow, double-edged Jian Sword with a thin blade and a tassel attached to the pommel. He sweeps his sword across with almost superhuman speed. Zhang Yude ducks down to avoid it, then counters with a thrust from his sword. The two fight round and round. Zhang Yude, seeing that his opponent's swordsmanship is even greater than that of his own master and knowing that he will never be able to defeat him, concentrates instead on trying to tire the old man out. But his Internal Energy is profound and, as time passes, Zhang Yude cannot discern the slightest slowing of the old man's actions. Instead, his sword seems to whirl and dance with ever increasing speed. Finally, the old man's sword clashes with Zhang Yude's sword, a 'clang' is heard and Zhang Yude's sword snaps clean in two.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcCeW57wOF
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J8Pfz045S
"Now, do you believe me?", the old man asks.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV8JPYLHP5
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKggbhv2WbE
Zhang Yude bows before him and says: "Greetings Elder Sun! Forgive me for my rudeness."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9PmHpmu1
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9dFt0bJ7
"My brother in arms was muddle-headed."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFknedlHiD
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8N3aejIOE
"Why do you say so?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GVNvZdOCH
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHQerPFfv
"Because instead of making Chief of Wudang a great and able man like you, he gave the 'Seal of Command' to that idiot Yue Li."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqNPZ4GYm
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Uk7p1xhX
Zhang Yude cannot hide his happiness upon hearing those words. Maybe Elder Sun can help him become Chief, he thinks.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IykS8MZg
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJntuwm6Rn
"Elder Sun, I need your help. Yue Li refuses to accept the merge of all Orthodox Sects and this will prevent the Martial Arts World from having peace and stability. Also, evil people like Lung Chang will be able to continue their massacres. Please, change his mind."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94q4oxpcDQ
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM4YsvtLEV
"You are right. But Yue Li will never listen to anyone. There is only one way to make sure that the Orthodox Sects merge."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d4fAAZVhu
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYr6Fkm5oP
"What is it?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2jKMQSc3X
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyffyJLwfk
"To kill Yue Li!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiylFHrGJWD
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4Cd7lH5Y
"Kill....kill....kill Yue Li?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMOpMY4pVG
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauSb5wshLR
"It is the only way to make sure that the Martial Arts World has peace."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHOiyudSk
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNw9SFJtRH
"But....how should I kill him? My skills are not good enough."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs54bRodRk
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBG3Ct67Es
"Take this."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK55Taxgmvy
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog3SfFQVck
Sun Shiyi gives Zhang Yude a red pill and a jar of wine.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ZE0oU6tB
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9BnHaNr2V
"I...will poison him?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmc0rcGnjH
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGLdAbeFX
"Yes. Before you go and see Yue Li, swallow the red pill. This will make sure that the poison will not affect you."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1DsvyD4ch
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A0nfc2YJW
"Thanks for your help, Elder."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOO84GWVgc
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDrcIW4e4m
Zhang Yude swallows the pill and runs back to the Kunlun School. He knocks the door of Yue Li's room. Yue Li opens the door and warmly says: "Brother Yude, come inside."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaLnho5mEj
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmMUu65JMm
When Zhang Yude enters the room, he bows before Yue Li and, with tears in his eyes, shouts: "I have unjustly insulted you! Chief, please punish me!!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhJNVJjGv
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAXrUanFny
Yue Li, smiling, helps Zhang Yude gets up and says "Since you know your mistake, there is no need for me to punish you."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQtfBnnDZ
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzJFiUitkt
"Chief, I have bought some wine. Would you like to taste it?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGrnITjwGT
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZPzuuuQV
Zhang Yude takes a large gulp from the jar with the wine and remarks "Excellent wine!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm5UcMOf3S
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZPvgQ782E
Yue Li, who likes good wine, takes the jar from Zhang Yude's hands and drinks it.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ExTKLSxUp
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mNhQmLCgW
"Quite good wine indeed!", he says. He had more than a week to drink wine.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQqNeLT1S
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcaFJzya7q
Suddenly, Yue Li feels a pain on his stomach and vomits blood. As Yue Li shouts in pain, Zhang Yude pulls out a dagger and stabs thrice Yue Li's chest before Yue Li kicks him on the stomach. Yue Li tries to grab his sword but, as he is dizzy, he he is not able to do so. Instead, he moves left and right and cannot stand on his feet. Zhang Yude, fearing that his assassination attempt will fail and that he will surely die, attacks again, this time with immense hatred and stabs more than twenty times Yue Li's stomach to make sure that he is dead. He then calms down and realizes that his arch-enemy is finally dead and laughs hysterically.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQmeSs204
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPd1U9czBc
As he is laughing, he realizes something that makes him desperate again: the other students of Wudang will inquire how Yue Li died. Even without close examination, just by looking at Yue Li's body, one can come to the concussion that he got stabbed to death. And of course, sooner or later, Zhang Yude will be suspected. So, he must find a way to prevent this. He thinks for a few seconds, and then an idea comes: he will throw one of the candles of the room onto the floor, starting a fire. Everyone will think that the fire was started by an accident and that Yue Li did not manage to get out in time and got burned alive. So, he lights a candle and throws it on the wooden floor of the room. Zhang Yude runs out and soon the flames engulf much of the Western Section of the Kunlun School. Only after two hours are the pugilists of the Orthodox Sects able to put down the fire. In total, twenty people were burned to death.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecWsRnss2a
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jPHMnNTnQ
The next day, the Wudang students find the burned body of their Chief, which is barely recognizable, and they bury him. They then elect Zhang Yude as the new Chief of Wudang. Four days later, the Chiefs of the Orthodox Sects meet again on the Great Hall of the Kunlun School.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxXlhnji2T
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytiOSFM9RO
"Honorable Chiefs!", Piao Zhen says. "I hope that in those five days you had, you have thought about my proposal. So, do you agree to the merger?"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHcNNISdwq
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIginzVsw7x
"I agree!", Zhang Yude shouts.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8nBBVXo9v
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa3Cvt0XIF
"Me too!", Abbess Meijoui of Emei Sect adds.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8M3WgvPxQ
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN81iLlE77
"I also agree.", Abbot Yongyu says, sighing. He knows that it is of no use to try and oppose alone the merger.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbrnX0YTnC
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ2lVmNNYi
All other Chiefs follow suit. Piao Zhen cannot hide how relieved he is that everyone agreed. "So, how shall we choose the leader of the Alliance?", he asks. "I say that we hold a Martial Arts Tournament in four months and the victor shall become leader of the Orthodox Sects. Also, I propose that we hold the tournament on Shaolin, if Abbot Yongyu agrees, as all Martial Arts originate from Shaolin."1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuQqh7Si4Z
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k1KQRlUvs
"It will be my honor to host such an event.", Abbot Yongyu replies.1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxNVBiW7Wf
1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2O0lxeblV
The other Chiefs agree to Piao Zhen's proposal. So, the meeting of the Orthodox Martial Arts Sects on Mt. Kunlun ends with a historic decision: for the first time in the history of the Martial Arts World, all Orthodox Sects shall merge. The same night, Sun Shiyi gallops away from Mt. Kunlun with his strong and tall white horse. "My dear Shunu, I will take revenge for you!", he thinks. "That bastard Taichang Emperor snatched you away from me. He made you his concubine and forced you to sleep with him and give him a son, the current Emperor Chongzhen. But your heart remained loyal to me. So, he had you executed. But now, I shall take revenge for you. Although Taichang died before I could take revenge, I shall avenge you by bringing down the Ming Empire. In four months, the Martial Arts World will come under Manchu control. And then, the Manchu Armies shall conquer the Ming Empire and I will have avenged you!!"1554Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AbSS4nu1s
