The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

The most obvious change is the Fire Qilin's two bright red eyes. The pupils no longer have much of a violent look, but a gentler one. The entire beast's body is no longer so ferocious and terrifying.

Nie Feng snapped out of his daze, looked at the ferocious beast before him, his face pale, his lips pursed, and he dared not move.

Su Ming looked at the fire qilin and nodded. "The essence blood of the Xuan Turtle has a strong vitality. Ordinary people can prolong their lives by obtaining it. As one of the four divine beasts, the essence blood is too ineffective for you. It's not bad if it can make you more clear-headed."

"Now you should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"

The fire qilin, its nostrils flaring, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, its fear undiminished as it continued to watch him warily. As for the little guy Nie Feng, he was completely ignored.

Seeing his timid and fearful appearance, Su Ming gave up on communicating with him and asked directly, "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. There are two other living people in here. Where are they?"

The fire qilin paused for a moment, turned its head, and pointed to the right.

Su Ming didn't say much, and turned to leave with Nie Feng. This trip was just to let Nie Feng and his son meet.

The pitch-black cave was a maze of interconnected passages, winding through countless bends. After passing through a narrow area, a sudden burst of light appeared before us. Here lay an underground space, where unknown crystals emitted a faint glow. Stone pillars hung from the mountain walls, and drops of water fell, gathering into a trickle of water.

At the foot of the mountain wall, two people sat cross-legged, their faces covered with thick black hair and covered with beards, looking disheveled and unkempt.

"Who?"

When Su Ming stepped into this place, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time, cautiously observing their surroundings.

When Su Ming revealed himself, both of them were filled with surprise. When Nie Renwang saw Nie Feng behind him, he excitedly exclaimed, "Is that Feng'er? Feng'er, you've come!"

He suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Nie Feng, staring intently at him. "Feng'er, it really is you! Thank goodness, you're alright!" With that, he hugged Nie Feng tightly.

The man, in his forties, had tears streaming down his face.

Finally, Nie Feng reacted and hugged Nie Renwang tightly, "Father, you're really still alive."

Duan Shuai looked at Nie Feng and couldn't help but show an envious expression. If Duan Lang were here, he would probably be the same age as Nie Feng.

At this moment, no one spoke, unwilling to disturb the heartwarming scene of family reunion.

After a while, the father and son let go of each other, looked at each other, and smiled broadly.

Nie Renwang, holding Nie Feng's hand, respectfully bowed to Su Ming and said, "Thank you, senior, for helping my father and I reunite."

Su Ming nodded slightly. "It was nothing. Your son has excellent talent. When the world is in chaos in the future, he will be the mainstay." Then, he looked at Duan Shuai and said frankly, "You don't need to worry about your son. Before I left that day, I passed on a sword technique to him. The Eclipse Sword Technique can only be used to its fullest potential with the Fire Kirin Sword. As you probably know, this sword is ominous and can easily be corrupted by evil."

Seeing Nie Renwang's respectful attitude towards Su Ming, Duan Shuai did not dare to act rashly and also bowed down, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. After you leave, if you see Duan Lang, please pass on a message for me: Duan Lang doesn't need to worry about the future of the Duan family. As long as he walks the right path and lives a good life, that's enough."

After saying this, he sighed, "Life is but a few decades, and fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds. I only realized this in Lingyun Cave. Now, we both know our destiny, and we will spend the rest of our lives in seclusion here."

Nie Renwang also said, "Brother Duan is right. We two are also unwilling to fight anymore and have decided to retire from the martial world and live a secluded life. Senior, I would like to trouble you to look after Feng'er for me. He carries the mad blood of my Nie family. When he goes berserk, he loses all reason and is likely to harm innocent people. There is a Fire Qilin here, and if he stays here, it could easily trigger it." After saying that, Nie Renwang immediately knelt down.

As soon as I bent my knees, I felt an invisible force pressing down on them, making it difficult to kneel.

Nie Renwang's eyes showed a pleading look, "Senior..."

"There's no need for that. I know your intentions, and I know the secrets hidden here better than you do." Hearing this, the two widened their eyes in disbelief. He knew the secret they had risked their lives to discover?

Then Su Ming said, "This place concerns the future of the land of China, so it's a good thing for you to stay here. I will find a famous teacher to teach Nie Feng, and I will find a way to cure the madness in his body."

"However, your martial arts skills are too poor; you won't be able to protect the dragon vein like this."

He actually knew!
Upon hearing this, Nie Renwang's eyes showed a hint of shame, while Duan Shuai remained silent.

Immediately, Su Ming had a thought, and an invisible sword aura burst forth from his body, sharp and fierce.

Sword energy?

A look of horror flashed in Duan Shuai's eyes. He considered himself a master swordsman, but this sword energy made him feel cold all over, as if his heart had been pierced.

Nie Renwang's expression turned even more alarmed; his martial arts seemed to have become even stronger!

The sword energy struck the mountain wall, leaving marks that instantly transformed into a map. "Follow this map; there lies a martial arts manual that will elevate your skills to a higher level."

Duan Shuai glanced at Nie Renwang with a look of doubt, but then thought that since Nie Renwang could entrust his son to him, he must be a trustworthy person. So he suppressed his doubts and the two of them said in unison, "Thank you, senior."

In the original story, the two of them tried to stop the invasion of Japan, but were defeated and the dragon vein was eventually taken away. However, they were not to blame, since even the nameless one fell, let alone them.

With their talent, if they mastered the martial arts of the Xuanwu True Skill, their skills would be among the best in the world, second only to a few god-level masters.

"It's a small matter. Now that this is over, I should be going."

Nie Renwang cupped Nie Feng's face in his hands and carefully instructed him, "Feng'er, after you leave, listen to your elders and don't be naughty. Your father is doing well here. Don't come looking for me again until the mad blood in your body is cured, understand?"

Nie Feng's face was tense as he wiped away his tears and nodded heavily, "Your son understands!"

Hearing this, Nie Renwang smiled, stood up, and patted his head. "Go."

Not long after, with a reluctant farewell from him, Nie Feng turned and left.

……

In recent days, a rumor has begun to circulate in the martial arts world that Xiong Ba, the leader of the Tianxia Society, has disappeared.

Many people saw Xiong Ba's group heading towards Baijian Manor, but no one saw him come out. The group that went there also fled, and only a few people escaped back to Tianxia Society and brought back the news.

No one could believe that the once-powerful Xiong Ba had died so suddenly.

For a time, many martial arts forces suppressed by the World Society began to stir, with some even defecting directly. Under these circumstances, Xiong Ba still did not show up.

More and more people in the martial arts world began to believe that Xiong Ba had disappeared, and some even concluded that he was dead.

Meanwhile, a couple arrived in Wushuang City. (End of Chapter)
