The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

No wonder even the ones I fused myself before were still somewhat incomplete!

Although it was just a hypothesis, it did make the "Dao Tai Shi E Jing" (Scripture of Releasing Calamities from the Embryo) which was previously incomplete appear more complete in the eyes of Chu Lu Ren!

However, "Brother Long" expressed his disdain for this and emphasized to Chu Luren that knocking on the Heavenly Gate is not about how profound the martial arts one has learned are, but about how profound one's understanding of them is. There are only people who can knock on the Heavenly Gate, not martial arts that can knock on the Heavenly Gate. If one truly has extraordinary comprehension, it is not impossible to knock on the Heavenly Gate with a set of Arhat Fist. Sure enough, "Brother Long" also knew about "knocking on the Heavenly Gate".

In a daze, Chu Luren even felt that this "Brother Dragon" was already attempting to break through to the "Qi Merging with Heavenly Gate" realm.

Chu Luren hadn't expected Murong Bo to be so learned. When he looked at Murong Jiu, he sighed, "You child, you clearly don't read much. What are you always doing at Langhuan Jade Cave? Have you even understood the books in your own home, Shishui Pavilion?"

"Why are you sighing?" Murong Jiu asked sharply.

"Ahem, it's nothing... Come on, have some crab." Chu Luren changed the subject by sharing breakfast.

Chu Luren decided that, considering that "Murong Bo" had given him some pointers, when his elder brother wanted to kill him with a single blow in the future, he would only stand by and take sides!

If the elder brother has the advantage, he will stop the sweeping monk; if Murong Bo has the advantage, he will let the sweeping monk go and mediate...

What? How did Chu Luren manage to stop the Sweeping Monk?

Yes, as long as the other party doesn't kill, there's no one Chu Luren can't stop!

……

Chu Luren and Murong Jiu had originally planned to "repay with a song" for today, but they suddenly found that finding people had become much more difficult!

Having a vague suspicion, Chu Luren immediately began to play continuously, capturing sound information over a wide range, and finally discovered... that something had indeed changed.

A cavern appeared on a nearby mountain peak, and martial arts practitioners who heard the news have all rushed there.

Chu Luren didn't linger any longer and headed straight for his destination.

When they arrived, by sheer coincidence, they ran into Hua Wuque and his two maids.

"Young Master Hua, it's been a long time!" Chu Luren greeted Hua Wuque loudly as soon as he saw him, as if they were old friends.

Hua Wuque remained polite, but the two maids behind him showed expressions of disdain...

"Greetings, Young Master Chu." Hua Wuque was probably the least sarcastic one when addressing "Young Master Chu."

Because he wasn't really paying attention at all...

"Could it be that Young Master Hua is also here for Hero Yan's treasure?" Chu Luren asked knowingly.

"No, I just felt that Master Yan wouldn't have left any treasure behind. There must be a conspiracy behind this, so I came here to try and resolve it." Hua Wuque's words made him seem much more believable than Chu Luren's.

"Haha, Young Master Hua is indeed insightful. What a coincidence, Brother Murong and I have come here for the same reason. Shall we go down and take a look together?"

Chu Luren had to admit that it would be quite difficult to "openly steal" Hua Wuque's fame, since the masterminds behind it were all in cahoots with him, and he might even offend Yaoyue and Lianxing...

Who are Yaoyue and Lianxing?

Even someone as cautious as Chu Luren wouldn't dare to speak carelessly in their presence...

Chapter 410 Inside the Cave

"Young Master Chu thinks so too? That would be wonderful." Hua Wuque remained calm and composed.

Although Chu Luren was famous, Hua Wuque didn't take him seriously... or rather, he didn't care about him!

Firstly, he and Chu Luren had known each other for a long time, especially after their encounter at Lu Manor in Nanhu, which left a deep impression on him. Therefore, his impression of Chu Luren was different from that of "Chu Taisui" in other people's minds. Secondly, Hua Wuque came from Yihua Palace and held his master and master in the highest esteem. He would not even allow himself to worship or admire a third person.

After Hua Wuque and Murong Jiu exchanged pleasantries, Chu Luren and Murong Jiu jumped down.

Although we don't know how deep it is below, ... if one's lightness skill reaches the level of Chu Luren and Murong Fu, as long as one's true energy is not scattered like Wu Yazi and one cannot rise up in one breath, then no matter how high the place is, there will be no danger. At most, it's just a matter of whether one can get up or not.

As for Hua Wuque, he loosened his belt and let two maids pull him along—don't underestimate these maids, Hua Wuque never made a fuss with them, and he was too shy to even touch their hands.

Then Hua Wuque, alone, accompanied by two women whose lightness skills were somewhat inferior, also floated down.

Murong Jiu took a few extra glances—Hua Wuque's skill was still somewhat inferior to hers, but she wanted to see which was stronger, "Shifting Flowers and Jade" or her own "Shifting Stars"!

Simply falling, while carrying others along, is definitely not as efficient as using light footwork to deflect force.

From this perspective, Murong Jiu's gaze was somewhat solemn.

"Transplanting flowers and grafting jade, it truly lives up to its reputation." Murong Jiu still exclaimed in admiration.

"The Murong family's 'Shifting Stars' technique is indeed well-deserved of its reputation." Hua Wuque returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, but he wasn't too modest, since "Shifting Flowers and Jade" was the ultimate skill of his first and second masters.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jiu seemed to want to compete.

However, Chu Luren interjected, "Aren't you curious about which one is stronger? But there are differences in your skill levels and years of martial arts training... Why don't you all teach me, and I'll make a fair comparison for you?"

Doing a good deed every day has always been a hobby of the people of Chulu.

"hehe."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, both Young Master Hua and Young Master Murong smiled but remained silent.

Clearly, the two were deeply moved and declined Chu Luren's offer, while Hua Wuque's two lackeys looked at him with expressions of "admiration"...

The cave was really deep. After walking a few steps, I found several fresh corpses.

"They are the Three Swords of Jinling." Murong Jiu took on the role of explanation. After all, Chu Luren and Hua Wuque debuted around the same time and quickly rose from the bottom of the rankings to the top of the Earthly Rankings and the Heavenly Rankings. Therefore, he did not recognize some of the smaller characters.

"You know him?" Chu Luren asked another question.

“Not familiar with them, but their master died from his own signature sword technique, so for a while, I heard they were looking for me.” Murong Jiu said, glancing at Hua Wuque.

It was as if he was saying, "If it wasn't me, was it you?"—but Hua Wuque remained unmoved.

"I believe it wasn't the two of you who did it." Chu Luren had an expression that said, "You are so lucky to have a friend like me," but he was ignored again.

Seeing this, Chu Luren changed the subject and squatted down to take a look: "It seems they didn't die from swordsmanship, and this is... wow, it might be an old friend of mine."

Chu Luren discovered snake bite marks on the three of them, as well as broken bones that looked like they had been whipped or injured by a blunt instrument.

In Chu Luren's mind, the image of "Ouyang Ke injuring three people with the Serpent Fist, and then the three people finding a deadly venomous snake on their bodies before they could even regroup" had already appeared.

As for why it wasn't Ouyang Feng?

If it were Ouyang Feng, he would have cleared the area with a single move of his Toad Stance; he wouldn't have been so shameless as to attack the Three Swords of Jinling and release snakes.

Moreover, given Ouyang Feng's intelligence, he wouldn't be looking for any Southern Heavenly Treasure!

"They shouldn't have gone far." Murong Jiu seemed to want to go after Chu Luren's "old friend".

Just then, another group arrived from behind. It was a burly man in a brocade robe. When he saw the five people, he was startled. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that all five were quite young, with two of them looking like delicate young girls. He then forced a show of strength and said, "Who are you youngsters? Have you ever heard of my name, 'Zhao Quan Hai, whose might shakes mountains and rivers, whose copper fist and iron palm shake the Central Plains'?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren looked at Murong Jiu, who was the most knowledgeable. Murong Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Is it Zhao Quan Hai, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the seventeen镖局 (bodyguard/escort agencies) in Lianghe? Brother Zhao? Move the torch closer."

It's not surprising that this guy couldn't even recognize Chu Luren, since the cave was too dark and he couldn't see what was on his waist.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Quan Hai moved slightly closer—Hua Wuque, dressed in white, was unfamiliar; Murong Jiu, dressed as a young master in brocade robes, was a match for many; Chu Lu Ren…

hiss--

Zhao Quan Hai gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Is it the Red and White Tai Sui... Master Chu... Master Chu?"

"Chief镖头 of the Seventeenth Escort Agency? You, a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), how did you end up in the business of digging tunnels? How does your martial arts compare to the three lying on the ground? Don't be afraid, those three just ran into Ouyang Ke, the young master of White Camel Mountain. The three of us came to expose this conspiracy. Don't be greedy for this windfall, just go back and continue your escort mission!" Chu Shanren advised.

"This...Master Chu, it's truly unacceptable for me to leave like this. If the three of you...Master and young master, were to expose the conspiracy, I would be willing to lend you my services," Zhao Quan Hai said slickly.

Well, you can see from Lin Zhennan the nature of escort agencies in the martial arts world—kung fu is secondary; the main thing is to know how to "make friends."

The head镖师 (chief镖师) of the Seventeen Escort Agencies is the head "social butterfly" of these seventeen escort agencies!

However, Chu Luren found this a bit awkward. Why was it that the phrase "three young masters" was so difficult to pronounce? Why did he have to specifically emphasize "hero and young master"?

Just as Chu Luren was getting impatient and trying to drive him away, the sound of weapons clashing suddenly rang out again, as if someone had fought their way in...

"Snowflake Blade, you little brat, do you really want to fight this old man to the death?"

"I have long heard of the One-Word Wisdom Sword Sect, which dominated Fujian, but was wiped out overnight thirty years ago. I was initially saddened, but seeing them today... how can we not fight?"

Judging from their conversation, the two were a man and a woman, and they were getting closer and closer as they fought, so they would soon be visible to each other.

However, just by listening to the sound of swords clashing, Chu Luren clearly felt that the man wielding the sword was much stronger than the woman wielding the knife, and he seemed quite relaxed during the exchange.

Of course, judging from his voice, he's also quite old.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Quan Hai showed a look of reminiscence and sigh, but this was quickly replaced by tension. When he saw the two, this man with "copper fists and iron palms that shake the Central Plains" quickly drew his nine-ringed broadsword and separated the two who were entangled in combat...

Murong Jiu then whispered a reminder: "The woman is Liu Yuru, the Snowflake Blade, and the old man is Zhuo Bufan, the successor of the One-Word Wisdom Sword Sect. Thirty years ago, the One-Word Wisdom Sword Sect was wiped out by an enemy from who knows where. Zhuo Bufan survived and hid in Changbai Mountain, practicing some kind of kung fu. He only re-emerged into the martial world a few years ago and killed many evil sect masters in Hebei."

Chapter 411 There are quite a lot of people

Zhao Quan Hai was clearly taking sides, and while he appeared to be trying to resolve the conflict, every move he made was aimed at Zhuo Bu Fan…

Although Liu Yuru is skilled at maintaining her youthful appearance, a closer look at her eyes suggests she is probably around the same age as Zhao Quanhai. It's just that Zhuo Bufan is older, hence the nickname "little girl."

Based on Zhao Quan Hai's reaction when he heard her voice before, Chu Lu Ren felt that... Hua Wu Que might have a chance to strike hard.

On the other side, Zhuo Bufan easily deflected Zhao Quanhai's "greeting". In general, Liu Yuru was not far behind Zhuo Bufan, while Zhao Quanhai was three points weaker than Liu Yuru.

At the same time, Zhuo Bufan felt some pressure from Hua Wuque, especially seeing that there were many people here, so he took the opportunity to sheathe his sword.

As for why Hua Wuque put pressure on him?

You dare hit a woman in front of Hua Wuque?

"Quan Hai? You...it's you?" Liu Yuru exclaimed in surprise, her tone as if Zhao Quan Hai had come to see her on special occasion.

Chu Luren looked at Zhao Quan Hai carefully. This... the aesthetic sense of the martial arts world has collapsed to such an extent?

"After all these years, you... haven't changed much," Zhao Quan Hai said awkwardly.

Liu Yuru had completely lost her murderous intent, and only said with resentment, "I never thought I would meet you here. Eleven years... no, it will soon be twelve years since we last met. Is there nothing but fame and fortune in your heart?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren looked at Hua Wuque. As expected, Hua Wuque stepped forward and said, "Chief镖头 Zhao, this is your fault. Isn't having a beautiful woman by your side more enviable than being the chief镖头 of the Seventeenth Escort Agency? Miss Liu's deep affection, how could you be so heartless?"

Zhao Quan Hai was even more embarrassed upon hearing this. Although he hadn't had a chance to introduce Hua Wu Que, he knew that this young master was definitely not someone to be trifled with. When Chu Lu Ren spoke, he always referred to "the three of us," without counting the two maids, but he included Hua Wu Que!

As for the other one, Zhao Quan Hai could guess it was Nan Murong, since it wasn't a secret that the Red and White Tai Sui were traveling with Nan Murong.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuru blushed and raised her eyebrows – she was also a feisty person, and at her age, how could she stand being lectured by a young, hot-headed man about her "lover"?

Zhao Quan Hai understood her well and was worried that she might offend a powerful figure by speaking rashly, so he quickly said, "Yu Ru! Let me introduce you. This is Chu Tai Sui, who has come to mediate the dispute and expose the conspiracy!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuru immediately became much more restrained—a shrew? Even a shrew would restrain herself a bit when she saw Chu Taisui.

What's so special about stopping a child's crying? I, a man from Chulu, can even stop a shrew from throwing a tantrum!
