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

Chapter 622 Return to Taiping

Nanwulin, Taiping Town.

After many years, Lu Ping finally returned to his hometown, to the warm home where he had stayed for sixteen years.

Don't worry about the environment being too dirty or messy, it can be easily solved with one spell.

Taking advantage of this period of peaceful life, Lu Ping inquired about the developments in the martial arts world and learned about the major changes in the Southern Martial Arts World during the years he was away.

First of all, the biggest change, of course, is in the imperial court.

Zhu Wusi started a rebellion, but unfortunately he was outmatched and miscalculated, so he was defeated by the emperor and various chivalrous men, and ultimately ended up dead.

After this, Hulong Villa became directly under the Emperor and was governed by Duan Tianya, the former "number one".

Emperor Suzaku took this opportunity to greatly strengthen the centralization of power. Under his drastic reforms, the Suzaku Dynasty's previous pattern of "one emperor, with kings, princes, generals and ministers under him" was completely broken.

The situation in the underworld is much more stable.

The invasion of the Japanese Western Sword School was strangled in the cradle by Lu Ping; the King of Hell's Ghost Path of the Death Department was also detonated in advance by Lu Ping, destroying a wave of them.

From then on, the martial arts world entered a long period of stability, and the world was dull and even a little boring.

If there is any major change, it is the rise of the profession of "knight commission".

At that time, the loss of earth's energy led to constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in Southern Wulin, and everything needed to be rebuilt. Chivalrous men from all walks of life extended a helping hand and provided various kinds of assistance to the refugees in the form of "accepting commissions and receiving rewards".

This method, similar to "work-for-relief", was soon imitated by the vast majority of people in the martial arts world and the court. As a result, the Southern Martial Arts World developed rapidly and regained its vitality during the years when Lu Ping was away.

Up to now, the Suzaku Dynasty has become more prosperous than at the beginning, and even its territory has expanded a lot.

Upon learning that both the imperial court and the martial arts world were thriving, Lu Ping gradually felt relieved and focused on his relatives and friends.

"I wonder how my friends are doing?"

"After so many years, you should have grown a lot, right?"

Xiao Yu'er, Tie Xinlan, Su Ying, Lin Pingzhi, Murong Jiu, Zhang Jing and others all practiced military skills. As long as they didn't slack off over the years and reached the six divisions or even the king level, it shouldn't be a problem.

Soon, Lu Ping got the news from the storytellers in the town.

In the first few years, apart from occasionally returning to Murong Villa to get together, those people basically wandered around the martial arts world all year round, either helping the weak and fighting the strong, or helping the needy, and they were quite famous as chivalrous people.

But later, several of them gradually disappeared from the world.

Xiao Yuer, Su Ying and Tie Xinlan seemed to have retired. Some people also said that he went overseas with an unknown senior in the martial arts world. In short, few people saw them anymore.

After Lin Pingzhi improved his martial arts, he successfully avenged his family. He then returned to his hometown and resumed his ancestral business, starting the escort business.

Sisters Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing are still the same.

A man who stayed at Murong Villa all year round, never leaving the house, and took care of the one-third acre of land at the bottom of the villa;

The other one is impetuous and rushes around all year round, doing things here and there, without any proper behavior.

As for Hua Wuque, it was said that he inherited the position of Palace Master of Yihua Palace. He would occasionally show up in the martial arts world and look for Xiaoyuer, but he always returned disappointed.

The time that the two had signed the 'Eighteen-year-old Battle Agreement' in the town at the foot of Mount Emei has long passed.

But the witness Lu Ping was not there, and the two had no intention of fighting to the death, so the decisive battle was delayed again and again, and now it has been completely scrapped.

……

On this day, Lu Ping heard a familiar name in the restaurant.

"Did you hear that?"

"Lu Xiaofeng of 'Four Eyebrows' is being hunted again!"

There had been no new events in the martial arts world for a long time, so when they heard that there was another disturbance, those martial artists who had been silent for a long time, all became like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves that had smelled blood, with hungry and greedy lights instantly flashing in their eyes.

"What?! Someone is being hunted?"

"Oh, it's Lu Xiaofeng..." A person suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, but after realizing that the person being hunted was Lu Xiaofeng, his tone immediately became dull and he lost interest.

"Why am I not surprised at all..."

Why wasn't it surprising? Of course, it was because everyone in the martial arts world knew that 'Four Eyebrows' Lu Xiaofeng loved getting into trouble the most.

Whenever there is something exciting in the world, you can always see him.

"So, why was he being hunted down this time?"

"I heard that he was pregnant with something, which led to his death."

"Oh...something?"

Hearing such obscure words, everyone immediately became interested.

Lu Xiaofeng not only likes to cause trouble, but also likes to take on trouble. What he likes most is to hide the things that bad guys want on himself and "keep" them well.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Xiaofeng was hunted down because of his crime of possessing a treasure.

"What good stuff did Lu Xiaofeng hide this time?"

"Is it the imperial seal of a lost dynasty, or a token of a mysterious organization?"

"Neither. I heard...it seems to be a book."

"a book?"

The gangsters in the restaurant looked at each other in confusion.

"What's so good about collecting books? Could it be the fragments of the 'Weaponry and Martial Arts Classics'?"

Hearing the familiar name, Lu Ping's ears twitched slightly.

Ever since he defeated the Flame Demon in the Southern Martial Arts World several years ago with the help of the "Weapon and Armor Martial Arts Classics" and became famous in one battle, people in the martial arts world have been full of yearning for this martial art.

Up to now, it has almost been worshipped as a god in martial arts by people in the martial arts world and remains at the top.

"Hehe... maybe it's the emperor's harem gossip..."

"No, no, no..."

"As far as I know, the book that Lu Xiaofeng got was neither a martial arts manual nor a collection of unofficial history or gossip. Instead, it was related to feng shui and geomancy."

"I heard that it was accidentally found in Miaojiang, Xiwulin. It's called the 'Nine Dragons Heavenly Book', and it records the contents related to the 'Shenzhou Incident' hundreds of years ago!"

Nine Dragons Book?

This name sounds very unusual!
Changes in China?

When hearing this somewhat unfamiliar word, some people still showed a confused look on their faces. It was obvious that they had just entered the world and had not heard of related news.

However, some people immediately changed their expressions, knowing that there might be huge implications involved. They were curious and nervous for a moment, not knowing whether they should delve deeper into the matter.

"The so-called 'Shenzhou Incident' is..."

Soon, an old veteran told the process of "Shenzhou Mutation" as a story.

In fact, ever since the loss of the earth's energy in Southern Wulin several years ago, which led to constant natural and man-made disasters, the "Shenzhou Incident" has been no longer a secret in the martial arts world.

"... However, the past hundreds of years ago has nothing to do with us living in the present, and there is rarely any communication between the four major martial arts circles, so you don't have to worry too much."

Everyone understood, but they were still confused as to why Lu Xiaofeng was being hunted because of a book.

"So, the people who are chasing Lu Xiaofeng are from Miaojiang?"

“Not just Miaojiang!”

"I heard that even people from the Suzaku Dynasty were involved!"
