Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 194: The Jianghu Beyond the South China Sea

Is it really Shen Lang?

How come Shen Lang is here?

Several questions immediately popped up in Lu Ping's mind, and he didn't notice that the people around him were stunned by their questions and answers.

The person in front of him was actually the famous "wise hero" Shen Lang, one of the "Four Heroes" in the Southern Martial Arts World?
So young and handsome?

No, that's not the point!

The point is, didn't Shen Lang retire overseas with his wife and friends more than ten years ago? Why is he back now? Is he planning to re-enter the martial arts world? Or is he here to watch the excitement of the Fengyun Monument?

The three of them were curious.

But the one who was more curious at this moment was Zhu Qiqi.

You clearly agreed before that you would try to keep a low profile after coming back and not show off in the underworld. Why did you admit your identity now when someone asked you casually?
Could it be that he is...

Zhu Qiqi looked at Lu Ping from head to toe again with an unfriendly look, then shook his head in relief.

No, the ages don’t match, and the looks and temperament are not similar either.

"Why do you look at me like that, ma'am?"

For some reason, Lu Ping felt that Zhu Qiqi looked at him strangely.

"Nothing, don't mind."

How could I not mind?!
The look just now was like that of a wife catching an adulterer... Oh, no, it should be the look of a legal wife examining her illegitimate child. Madam, could it be that you have recognized the wrong person?
Several people were invited into the house.

The furnishings in the house are quite simple. After entering the door, you can see a long wooden table in the middle of the room with a few benches next to it.

The couple invited the four people to sit down.

"Junior Lu Ping, this is my adopted sister, Murong Jiu, the other two are not important."

Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao: "..."

What doesn’t matter is that we are not human beings?
The names of Murong Villa and the Nine Beauties of the World have only started to spread in the world in the past decade. Mr. and Mrs. Shen Lang, who have lived in seclusion overseas for many years, are not aware of this.

But they obviously knew the Murong family.

"Could it be that this little girl is a descendant of the Murong family?"

Murong Jiu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's just a side branch."

Shen Lang thought for a few seconds: "Side branch... Miss and the famous Murong Yanyu in the past, how to address them?"

"He is my great uncle."

The Murong family is a famous swordsmanship family in the martial arts world. By the sixth generation, there were thirteen brothers and sisters.

Each of these thirteen people had outstanding talent in swordsmanship. During the game, each of them created a new sword move. These thirteen sword moves later left the reputation of "Xiaoxiang Thirteen Swords" in the martial arts world.

These thirteen brothers and sisters later had different experiences in life, and now only the eldest brother Murong Yanyu and the thirteenth brother Murong Ning are still alive.

However, the bloodline of the dead has not been cut off.

Because the thirteen brothers and sisters were all extremely gifted and talented, they did not want to stay under the name of the 'Murong Family' for long as they grew older. So several of them left the main family, set up their own families, wrote their own names at the top of the family tree, and were the first to eat incense during festivals.

For example, Murong Qiudi, the wife of Xie Xiaofeng of Shenjian Villa, is the daughter of the "third brother" among the thirteen people. She is also the oldest of the seventh generation of the Murong family.

The Murong Villa of Murong Jiu's family was built by the 'eighth brother' among the thirteen.

Judging from this relationship, her seniority in the underworld is quite high.

Because several brothers and sisters left the main family, the distinction between "direct line" and "side line" began to appear in the Murong family in the martial arts world.

It must be said that this family has a lot of offspring. The old guys are all in good health and can still have children at an old age, so the age gap between the younger generations is too large.

Just like Murong Yanyu and Murong Jiu, the former is over a hundred years old, and the latter is only in his teens. In an ordinary family, they can basically be great-grandfathers or even great-great-grandfathers.

But the two of them are actually uncle and niece.

"I see...it looks like the Murong family has a successor."

Although this was just a polite remark, coming from Shen Lang's mouth it was considered a very high evaluation.

"What are your names, two of you?"

Shen Lang looked at Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao. After they introduced themselves, he asked, "From what I see, you look like you have just recovered from a serious illness?"

"Well, actually they were poisoned not long ago..."

Then, Lu Ping recounted how the group had intruded into Xijianliu and caused a great disturbance.

"…On our way back, we found that the horses we had been planning to retreat with were gone, so we had to find our way here."

After the story was told, Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi instantly became interested in Lu Ping.

I didn't expect that there was someone who could fight against the Western Sword School alone and retreat safely, and he was such a young guy.

"Are you good at martial arts?"

Zhu Qiqi looked at Lu Ping again and again, "Are you a genius?" "Empty reputation...Empty reputation..."

Lu Ping smiled modestly: "Who dares to call himself a genius in front of Senior Shen?"

He knew very well that he was able to have his current strength with the help of the system, but the Shen Lang in front of him was a real martial arts genius who relied entirely on his own talent and hard work to reach the ninth level of Mingyu Gong at the age of 24.

Shen Lang could see that Lu Ping's humility was genuine and not just pretentious, and his liking for him increased.

He is so outstanding, but not frivolous at all. His future achievements will not be inferior to mine!
After a few cups of tea, Lu Ping finally asked about the confusion in his heart.

"Speaking of which, why did the two elders come back to the martial arts world after so many years? Why did they borrow our horses? Why do they live here? Who are the families next door?"

It is quite polite to use the word 'borrow' instead of 'steal'.

The couple smiled when they heard it, and felt that the boy in front of them became even more adorable.

"In recent years, the forces in the Dongying martial arts world have gradually grown stronger. When these people entered the Southern Martial Arts World, they took the sea route and left traces on the overseas islands along the way."

"After we found out about this, we were worried that their arrival would have a bad impact on ordinary people, so we rushed back, hoping that they would not cause too much damage."

"On the other hand, those of us who have lived overseas for a long time have not been to our homeland for more than ten years, and we have also developed some homesickness in our hearts, so we thought we might as well take this opportunity to come back and take a look..."

Lu Ping keenly caught a few words in the conversation.

"Overseas Islands???"

The so-called "South China Sea" is actually a large sea area south of Nanwulin.

Many years ago, King Yanping of the Suzaku Dynasty went to sea seven times, during which he recorded and modified the sea charts many times, and brought back many things from overseas. Therefore, many people know that there is another civilization there, and there are also rich resources that are not available on land.

The new people and things attracted many businessmen and people from all walks of life to explore in the following decades.

After that, no one knew when the South China Sea had become a place where martial arts masters flocked to retreat.

Lu Ping seriously suspected that the 'little old man' Wu Ming in the Lu Xiaofeng series, as well as the 'mad lion' Tie Zhan and a group of masters who appeared last in The Twins, were all hiding in those overseas islands.

Lang smiled and nodded: "There are many islands in the South China Sea. Those islands are not only rich in resources, but also have a variety of races and cultures. At the same time, the spirit of martial arts is also quite popular."

"The martial arts there are different from most of the martial arts in the Southern Martial Arts Forest. It can be said to be a unique school of thought and is quite interesting."

As he spoke, he used tea to draw a big circle on the table, and then drew a row of small circles under the big circle.

"This big circle is the Shenzhou Continent. Our Nanwulin is probably here. After entering the South China Sea, we can head in any direction and we will see land in one or two days at the least, or three to five days at the most."

"That's the rumored South China Sea Islands."

"These islands are large and small, and there are many of them. If we take a boat along these islands and head east, we can reach Japan."

"The Western Sword School and the Godless Palace came to the Southern Martial World through this route, and these islands in the middle formed a stable supply line that could provide them with sufficient backup."

Shen Lang dipped his fingers in water, drew a line on the small circles, and strung them together.

Then he drew another line a little closer to the right, pointing to the east of the circle.

"If we turn around here and head north, we will have to pass through a few islands on the way and then we will reach East Wulin, where there is a new world and a new martial arts world."

It turned out to be like this...

Looking at the simple, ugly and rough map drawn by Shen Lang, Lu Ping's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and the three people beside him were also amazed.

But as he watched, Lu Ping suddenly felt something was not right.

"Wait a minute! Why don't the Japanese forces go to the closer East Wulin, but instead come all the way to the South Wulin?"

"No, I heard that the Japanese forces also attacked Dongwulin, which means that they are actually fighting on two fronts."

Hearing this, several people became even more confused: "Why are the Japanese forces so rampant?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "It's not clear yet. Investigating the real purpose behind their visit to the Shenzhou Continent is also one of the reasons why we are returning to our homeland this time."

No wonder they stayed here, it turned out they wanted to take the opportunity to investigate Xijianliu.

Lu Ping understood: "So, could it be that the families around here, like the two seniors, all came from overseas islands?"

"good."

"Are Senior Xiongmaoer and Senior Wang Lianhua also among them?"

"Of course I am."

Zhu Qiqi at the side replied, and suddenly laughed again: "I didn't expect that we have retired from the martial arts world for more than ten years, but we are still remembered by a newcomer like you."

Lu Ping chuckled and said, "I think the reputation of the seniors will be spread in the martial arts world for at least another thirty to fifty years!"

"Empty reputation, empty reputation..."

Zhu Qiqi waved her hands in a pretentious manner, imitating Lu Ping's humble words just now, but her expression did not show much modesty, but rather a very happy one.

However, this appearance did not make people feel disgusted with her. Instead, they felt that she was straightforward, honest, innocent and romantic.

So why on earth would you steal horses?
