Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 53 Past Events

The dagger in Huang Sixi's hand is the first killing knife of the Xiandu Sect.

Since the fifteenth generation of disciples of Xiandu Sect, this sword has been regarded as a token of the sect leader and passed down from generation to generation.

However, the token is often a proof of identity and is generally not used. The leaders of the Xiandu Sect in all generations would forge a killing-proof sword of their own.

This is also the reason why Taoist Huangmu carries two killing knives.

"Master Huang, how many generations of disciples have your Xiandu sect inherited so far?"

"I am the 22nd generation! I taught 32 disciples in my lifetime. Before I was imprisoned in the Poison Dragon Cave, none of them recruited any disciples. My sect's lineage is currently being passed down to the 23rd generation!"

Taoist Huang Mu was grateful to Huang Sixi for saving his life, and whenever Huang Sixi asked him any questions, he would tell him everything he knew.

Hu Guinan was grilling a wild rabbit nearby. When the meat was cooked, he handed it to Huang Sixi first.

He worked silently without interrupting, but he also listened.

He thought that Taoist Huangmu had taught more than thirty disciples, but none of them had been able to rescue him over the years. These disciples either did not respect their teacher or did not have the skills.

But he thought again, in a dangerous place like the Poison Dragon Cave, if it weren't for his husband summoning the poisonous bees to help, who could get in?

Rather than saying that the disciples of Xiandu are not capable enough, it is better to say that my husband is too capable.

At this moment, Hu Guinan was distracted. A contemporary hero like his husband, who had made extraordinary achievements and was chivalrous and righteous, should have been famous in the world long ago. Why was his name so unfamiliar?
Hu Guinan had been in the martial arts world for more than a decade. He was familiar with even the minor martial arts figures, but he had no impression of Huang Sixi. He found it very unusual.

In fact, it's not his fault. Huang Sixi's real name is only known by a few founding members of the Dragon Subduing Society. These members did not spread the news that Huang Sixi is the Dragon Subduing Hero.

Therefore, only the deeds of the Dragon Subduing Hero were widely circulated in the martial arts world, but no one knew his actual name.

Taoist Huang Mu was imprisoned in the Poison Dragon Cave for five years, and was completely cut off from all news in the martial arts world. He had no idea who Huang Sixi was.

Even the Dragon Subduing Hero, Taoist Huangmu had only heard of him occasionally. Before he got into trouble, the news of Huang Taiji's assassination had just been reported back to the Central Plains and had not been confirmed. Although he had heard of it, he did not know whether the story of the Dragon Subduing Hero was true.

At this time, Hu Guinan cut off another rabbit leg and handed it to Taoist Huang Mu, and asked casually: "Master Huang, how did you become enemies with the Five Poison Sect?"

"I have never had any connection with the Five Poison Sect, let alone any hatred. The reason they plotted against me and imprisoned me was entirely because of the Golden Snake Prince Xia Xueyi."

"It is rumored that the Golden Snake Young Master had a deep hatred with the Qixian Sect of Quzhou. His entire family was killed by the disciples of the Qixian Sect. Twenty years ago, he learned the Golden Snake Sword Technique and went to seek revenge on the Qixian Sect, but he soon disappeared without a trace. It is said that he was assassinated by the Fifth Ancestor of the Qixian Sect. Master Huang should know the real cause of his death, right?"

"No, I don't know! I still don't know whether Xia Xueyi is alive or dead!"

Taoist Huang Mu shook his head and said, "Twenty years ago, I met Xia Xueyi when I was collecting herbs in Yunnan. We had several sword fights. I admired his sword skills and invited him to visit Longhu Temple in Xiandu Mountain. We became good friends after a few visits!"

"It turns out that Sect Leader Huang and Mr. Golden Snake are good friends."

Huang Sixi asked him, "When the Golden Snake Prince sought revenge on the Chess Fairy Sect, did you, Sect Master Huang, go to help?" "I can't go!"

Taoist Huang Mu sighed, "Mr. Huang, Xia Xueyi is trying to wipe out an entire family. He killed more than 30 people from the Chess Fairy Sect in a few months, and even sold two daughters-in-law from the Chess Fairy Sect to brothels. This behavior is seriously against chivalry.

Not only could the old Taoist not help, but he had to persuade him that every wrong had its perpetrators, and that it was Wen Fanglu who killed the five members of the Xia family. He only needed to kill Wen Fanglu's lineage, and there was no need to implicate other innocent people!"

Regardless of whether Taoist Huangmu would have ruined his reputation in the martial arts world if he had helped Xia Xueyi at that time, according to the rules of the Xiandu Sect, he would have had to commit suicide using the Killing Sword.

Therefore, Taoist Huangmu had no way to do anything about Xia Xueyi's matter.

However, Taoist Huangmu was Xia Xueyi's only good friend during his lifetime, and this relationship was real.

Taoist Huang Mu continued, "Twenty years ago, after Xia Xueyi disappeared, I looked for him but couldn't find him. I guessed he had been killed. It's not easy to find a bosom friend in life. I will still miss him!

Five years ago, the old Taoist came to Yunnan to collect herbs. He passed by the pavilion where he had a sword fight with him. As usual, he bought offerings and prepared to worship him. However, during the period of mourning, the old Taoist was overheard by He Hongyao, the poisonous woman of the Five Poison Sect. She suddenly attacked him from behind with poison. The old Taoist was caught by her and was taken to the Poison Dragon Cave in Lingshe Mountain, where he was imprisoned for five years!"

When Hu Guinan heard the name 'He Hongyao', he subconsciously frowned, "He Hongyao is ugly. Rumor has it that she violated the Five Poison Sect's rules and was thrown into a snake cave, where she was bitten by thousands of snakes and then disfigured. This caused her temperament to change drastically, and she became violent and bloodthirsty. Whenever her fellow martial artists saw her, they would avoid her. It would be bad luck for you, Sect Leader Huang, to mess with her!"

Taoist Huang Mu turned his head and looked at Hu Guinan: "Why do you think she was thrown into the snake cave? It was because of Xia Xueyi! The treasures handed down by the Five Poison Sect's ancestors, the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Awl, are all sealed in the Poison Dragon Cave in Lingshe Mountain!

In order to seek revenge, Xia Xueyi deliberately approached He Hongyao, not only took He Hongyao's body, but also deceived He Hongyao to steal the treasure. In the end, Xia Xueyi stole the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone, but abandoned He Hongyao. He Hongyao lost the Five Poison Sect's treasure, and was punished by the snake disaster! "

After hearing the twists and turns of the story, Hu Guinan was suddenly speechless, because he didn't know how to evaluate Xia Xueyi's character.

There is nothing wrong with Xia Xueyi seeking revenge on the Chess Immortal Sect at all costs.

But Xia Xueyi's scheming methods towards He Hongyao can definitely not be called authentic.

Huang Sixi knew Xia Xueyi's life very clearly, and what Taoist Huang Mu said was basically true.

The valuable treasures of the Five Poison Sect that Xia Xueyi stole back then included not only the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone, but also a treasure map.

After abandoning He Hongyao, he went to the Qixian Sect alone to seek revenge. Originally, he had the ability to wipe out the Qixian Sect, but halfway through, he suddenly fell in love with Wen Yi, a disciple of the Qixian Sect, and began to show mercy.

Later, Wen Yi was used by the Five Ancestors of the Chess Immortal Sect to lure Xia Xueyi into drinking a special drug called 'Drunken Immortal Honey'. Xia Xueyi had martial arts skills but was unable to use them, and was eventually captured alive, with all his hand and foot tendons severed.

If the Fifth Ancestor of the Chess Immortal Sect had not wanted to force Xia Xueyi to reveal the whereabouts of the treasure map, he would have been killed without mercy when he drank the 'Drunken Immortal Honey'.

At that time, Xia Xueyi was completely disabled and had lost the ability to fight back, so he placed his hope of survival on the leader of the righteous martial arts world, Mu Renqing. He deceived the Five Patriarchs of the Chess Immortal Sect, saying that a great treasure was buried in Mount Hua.

The Fifth Patriarch of the Chess Immortal Sect was greedy for money and believed Xia Xueyi's words. He sent Xia Xueyi to Huashan personally. However, Xia Xueyi escaped and hid in a deserted cave to end his life.
