I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2077 Wu Rendi's Past
Hearing the name "Wu Rendi", Zhao Kuo's face turned pale instantly. He took a breath of cold air and murmured, "Hiss! It turned out to be him! No wonder the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master was defeated so thoroughly..."

His voice was filled with shock and fear, and he was clearly in awe of this legendary strong man.

Wu Rendi once went to the Temple of the Lord of Heaven single-handedly. Although the Lord of Heaven was no longer there at that time, there were many powerful warriors in the late half-step God King realm, including at least ten deputy temple masters like Black Hand.

But later, the number became six, because the four powerful late-stage Half-Step God King masters were all killed by Wu Rendi.

The tent fell into deathly silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside, as if wailing for the tragic defeat.

Li Guangli and Zhao Kuo looked at each other, and they both saw a deep sense of powerlessness in each other's eyes. Facing a peerless strongman like Wu Rendi, no matter how many strategies and military forces they had, they seemed pale and powerless.

The strength of Wu Rendi was indeed beyond their expectations, and they could not win by sheer numbers. Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Is there really no other way?"

He turned to look at Li Guangli, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes: "General, are we just going to sit there and wait for death? No matter how strong the Wu enemy is, there must be weaknesses, right?"

Li Guangli shook his head slowly, his eyes deep: "General Zhao Kuo, Wu Rendi is just like his name, he has no rivals. Ordinary soldiers are nothing but ants in front of him. Unless there are strong men of the same level, we can't shake him at all."

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment. Although he was unwilling, he also understood that what Li Guangli said was true. Then he gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Okay, in this case, I will contact the Catholic Temple. They have many experts over there, and maybe they can send strong people to help us."

Li Guangli nodded, a strange look flashed in his eyes: "General, this matter is of great importance, we must do it as soon as possible."

At the same time, in a small palace far away in the Catholic City, several people wearing golden robes and strange masks on their faces were sitting around a round table. The flickering candlelight in the palace reflected on their strange masks, which looked particularly gloomy. The atmosphere was solemn, as if even the air had frozen.

The man in the red mask and golden robe spoke first, his voice hoarse and low: "Black Hand is dead. What do you think about this?"

The golden-robed man with a white mask sneered, his voice was sharp and piercing: "Those people in Nanjiang City, including Feng Wanqing, have no chance of killing Black Hand. We all know Black Hand's strength. Unless there is a stronger person who takes action, he will not fall easily."

Another golden-robed man wearing a green mask nodded slowly, his voice low and cold: "Yes, Black Hand's death is definitely not accidental. We must find out who is behind this."

The man in the red mask and golden robe groaned for a moment, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Whoever dares to touch our Temple of the Lord will have to pay the price. Pass the order down, and do your best to investigate this matter and find out who did it."

The golden-robed man with a white mask nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "In addition, we must not let go of Nanjiang City. Especially the new God King and Feng Wanqing. We must hurry up. Once Feng Wanqing's injury is healed and the new God King rises up, it will be difficult to kill them."

The golden-robed man with a green mask sneered, "Feng Wanqing? Humph, she's just a pawn. The real opponent is probably still hiding in the dark. We have to be careful and not alert the enemy."

The man in the red mask and golden robe stood up, his eyes swept over everyone present, and his voice was low and majestic: "This matter is of great importance, we must act with caution. No matter who the other party is, we must let them know that the majesty of the Temple of God cannot be challenged."

Everyone nodded, with cold light flashing in their eyes. The candlelight in the palace flickered, reflecting on their strange masks, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

After General Zhao Kuo left the tent, he quickly sent someone to deliver the message to the Catholic Temple.

He now feels like a knife is on his neck, and he doesn't know when the knife will fall. If a strong man from the Temple of God comes, there is still hope that the knife will be moved away.

At the same time, in Nanjiang City, Feng Wanqing stood on the city wall, looking into the distance with a hint of worry in her eyes. She had already noticed the unusual movements in the Catholic Temple, and the death of Black Hand would undoubtedly trigger a huge storm.

"The people from the Temple of the Lord will never give up." Feng Wanqing murmured in a low voice, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "No matter who they send, I will not let them succeed."

"Aren't you planning to break through to the late stage of Half-Step God King Realm?" Wu Rendi walked over silently with a low voice.

Feng Wanqing raised her head, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly, her voice filled with helplessness and determination: "I swore that when I break through to the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, he must be by my side to protect me. This has become my inner demon."

Upon hearing this, Wu Rendi frowned slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, then you are asking for it. You are suffering without any effort."

His words were straightforward and sharp, like a sword, piercing Feng Wanqing's heart.

Feng Wanqing was choked, her face changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner fluctuations, and after a long time she slowly spoke: "You have such a vicious mouth, try not to say anything next time."

Wu Rendi shrugged, his face still indifferent, as if he didn't care about Feng Wanqing's reaction. He stopped talking, his eyes turned to the distance, as if waiting for something. At this moment, Liu Jun came over. He saluted the two respectfully: "Master's wife, Senior Wu Rendi."

Wu Rendi glanced at Liu Jun and nodded slightly in response. Without saying a word, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

Feng Wanqing looked in the direction where Wu Rendi disappeared, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She turned around and looked at Liu Jun, saying in a gentle tone: "You are here, are you not hurt?"

Liu Jun replied respectfully, "I'm fine, Master's Wife. I just heard Senior Wu Rendi talking about a breakthrough. Are you planning to break through? Do you need my help?"

Feng Wanqing smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "You are thoughtful. But it is not time for a breakthrough yet."

Liu Jun took out an exquisite wooden box, inside which was a crystal clear pill. The surface of the pill was glowing with a faint green light, as if it contained infinite spiritual power.

"Okay, Master's Wife, if you need help, please let me know. This is the elixir that can help you break through the realm stably." Liu Jun handed the wooden box to Feng Wanqing.

Feng Wanqing smiled slightly, took the wooden box, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Well, I understand."

Liu Jun felt relieved when he saw that his master's wife was calm, but the brief encounter with Wu Rendi before came to his mind, and he was puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Um, master's wife, can I ask a question?"

Feng Wanqing nodded, her eyes soft: "What's the problem? Tell me."

Liu Jun frowned, as if he was choosing his words: "That Senior Wu Rendi is different from the one I met in Danzong before."

Wu Rendi's stern face and those sharp words appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling confused.

In his impression, Senior Wu Rendi from Danzong was not very enthusiastic, but at least he was not like he is now. Not to mention being so cold, his mouth was as if it had been soaked in poison, and one sentence from him could choke you to death without you saying a second word.

Feng Wanqing heard Liu Jun's words, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Dan Zong, you said that, well, it's an enemy of Wu people, and it's not an enemy of Wu people."

Liu Jun was stunned when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked puzzled: "Master's Wife, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by an enemy of Wu and not an enemy of Wu?"

“Wu Rendi, this name was a legend in the God Realm at that time, a legend that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Many years ago, he suddenly appeared in the world with unmatched talent and an astonishing speed of cultivation. It only took him one year to go from the early stage of the main god level to the half-step god king level. This record has not been broken to this day, as if it is an insurmountable peak.” Feng Wanqing said with emotion.

Seeing Liu Jun listening attentively, Feng Wanqing smiled and continued, "It is said that Wu Rendi's rise was not accidental. He was supported by the Heavenly Dao and was regarded as a candidate for the next Order Master. The Heavenly Dao endowed him with endless power and talent, so he made rapid progress on the path of cultivation and was unstoppable."

Liu Jun listened attentively and couldn't help asking, "What happened next? Since he has such a talent and is favored by the Heaven, why did he become what he is now?"

Feng Wanqing's eyes became deep, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to the distant past. Then she sighed and said, "Later, he fell in love with someone. That person was the light of his life and the only warmth on his path of cultivation. However, the Heavenly Dao does not allow future Orderers to have too many emotions, believing that emotions will weaken his power and affect his control over order. So, that person was ruthlessly wiped out by the Heavenly Dao."

Liu Jun's heart was shaken, as if he felt Wu Rendi's despair and pain at that time, and then he asked in a low voice: "After that person was wiped out, what happened to Wu Rendi?"

Feng Wanqing's tone was filled with regret and helplessness: "After that man disappeared, Wu Rendi changed completely. He became cold and ruthless, with only endless anger and hatred in his heart. He began to kill crazily, and all the major forces in the God Realm were swept away by him, and no one could stop him. At that time, the Lord God and the major God Kings had disappeared, and the God Realm fell into chaos. Wu Rendi's power was unmatched. He even killed his way to the Temple of Heaven left by the Lord God, trying to challenge the authority of Heaven."

Liu Jun was terrified when he heard this, as if he saw the figure killing crazily in blood and fire.

As for why Wu Rendi went to the Temple of the Lord to challenge the Heavenly Dao, Liu Jun guessed that it was because there has always been a legend in the Temple of the Lord of the Lord that one can have direct conversations with the Heavenly Dao, and this is said to be the privilege of the Lord of the Lord.

"He's a ruthless man. I admire him, but he did this? Was he just trying to take revenge on God?" Liu Jun asked.

Feng Wanqing shook her head and said, "Perhaps it's not just for revenge. Wu Rendi's heart has long been filled with hatred and despair. He has lost the only warmth and the meaning of life. Killing may be the only way for him to feel that he is still alive. He wants to break the shackles of heaven, to prove his own strength, and even to change the rules of this world."

Liu Jun was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "What happened in the end? Did he succeed?"

Feng Wanqing's eyes became complicated, and she shook her head slowly: "No, Wu Rendi didn't see Tiandao at all. He just started the final showdown with the ten deputy hall masters of Tianzhu Temple. That battle was earth-shattering, and the entire God Realm was shaken. Later, Wu Rendi disappeared, and Tianzhu Temple didn't stand up and say anything."
