Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

For a powerful person in the Earth Immortal Realm, he was at the peak of his prime, but he suddenly disappeared.

He hid himself for forty years, which puzzled the entire martial arts world.

Now, the truth has finally come to light.

Chapter 74: Death in the Catastrophe

Dugu Jiansheng did not withdraw voluntarily, but was defeated by Wuming!

The forty-nine-year-old Sword Master was defeated by the nineteen-year-old, fledgling Wuming.

If this secret were to be passed back to the Han Dynasty, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

At the same time, it also made everyone admire Wuming to the extreme.

At the age of fifteen, he was already half a step away from becoming an earthly immortal, and he pulled out a heroic sword that no one had been able to shake for seven hundred years.

At the age of nineteen, he comprehended the way of the Heavenly Sword, entered the realm of immortals on earth, and defeated the Sword Master Dugu who had dominated the martial arts world for twenty years.

At the age of 20, he defeated various martial arts masters and won the title of "Martial Arts Legend".

After that, he dominated the martial arts world for twenty years and was invincible.

Such a life trajectory sounds like a legend and makes one's blood boil.

For a moment, everyone in the hall started talking:

"Oh my god! Is this the legendary Wuming from the Han Dynasty? This is too amazing!"

"If Mr. Su hadn't said it himself, I really wouldn't have believed that there was such an astonishing genius in the world."

"I used to think that sword masters like Lang Fanyun and Deng Tai'a had reached the pinnacle of talent, but now I know that there are always better ones among the best."

"He entered the Land Sword Immortal Realm at the age of nineteen. I'm afraid he is the fastest person to reach this level today, right?"

"I never thought that Sword Saint Dugu destroyed Wuming's Dantian and Qi Sea. Fortunately, someone was able to repair the meridians later, otherwise the Han Dynasty would have lost a peerless sword immortal."

"This can be considered karma. Sword Saint Dugu destroyed Wuming's foundation, and Wuming, in turn, forced him to retire for forty years and not show up in the martial arts world."

"Who could have expected that Wuming, who was only nineteen years old, could defeat the Sword Saint Dugu, who was at the peak of his powers? That decisive battle was truly unexpected."

"Time flies. Senior Wuming has been out of the martial arts world for twenty years. Many people in the martial arts world have long forgotten his fame. Now, this name is about to resound throughout the world."

"Number seven on the Land Sword Immortal Ranking is an extremely high ranking. The Han Jianghu boasts two of the top ten Sword Immortals, Wuming and Dugu Jiansheng. This is truly enviable."

The fifth elegant room on the west side of the third floor.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

As people of the Han martial arts world, they had naturally heard of this martial arts legend Wuming a long time ago.

But Wuming had disappeared for twenty years and his whereabouts were unknown.

The Sword Sect was wiped out overnight twenty years ago, and many people speculated that Wuming also died in that catastrophe.

Now, suddenly hearing that he was not only safe and sound, but also ranked seventh on the list of land sword immortals with the eighth level of cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm, one can imagine how shocked they were.

"The martial arts legend is nameless. The gang leader has always been extremely wary of him. I never thought he would still be alive."

Nie Feng said in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Following the immortal cultivation of Dugu Sword Saint in Wushuang City, the martial arts legend Wuming was also confirmed to be still alive.

This is undoubtedly a major obstacle to the Tianxiahui's ambition to dominate the martial arts world.

After all, the Tianxiahui has used cruel means to expand its power over the years, often exterminating families and factions.

People like Wuming, who have a righteous heart, would most likely be unable to tolerate this and take action to stop it.

With his strength, how can Tianxiahui compete with him?

Bu Jingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Wuming became famous at the age of twenty and retired at the age of forty. There must be another hidden story behind this."

"Senior Brother Yun means..." Nie Feng was a little confused.

"I think Wuming's decision to retire probably stems from some unspeakable reason."

"Otherwise, given the Tianxiahui's reckless behavior over the years, he should have intervened long ago."

Bu Jingyun analyzed calmly.

Nie Feng frowned and said, "An unspeakable secret? Could it be that Wuming was also defeated like the Sword Saint Dugu and forced to leave the martial arts world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shook his head in denial.

Even he himself couldn't convince himself with this reason. With Wuming's strength, how could he be defeated by others?

"Wouldn't it be clear if we just asked?"

After Bu Jingyun finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the box.

In front of the railing by the window on the third floor.

Bu Jingyun stood firmly, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with a fierce aura, and said in a loud voice:

"Bu Jingyun, the head of the Feiyun Hall of the Tianxia Association, greets Mr. Su."

"Mr. Su's mention of the nameless martial arts legend just now was truly shocking."

"I have two questions in my mind, and I sincerely seek guidance from Mr. Su."

"Senior Wuming became a martial arts legend at the age of twenty and was at the peak of his powers at the age of forty. Why did he choose to retire from the martial arts world?"

"Since he is still alive, why did he stand by and watch the Sword Sect fall? Why did the Sword Sect suffer such a great disaster back then?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the hall.

The world will meet!

He was a well-known overlord with a great reputation in the martial arts world.

The sixty years of changes in the Han Dynasty can be roughly divided into three decades.

The first twenty years were the world of the Sword Master Dugu.

The second twenty years belong to the martial arts legend Wuming.

The third twenty years was an era in which many heroes emerged and various parties competed for hegemony.

Tianxiahui, Supreme Alliance, Sea Shark Palace, Sword Casting City, Wushuang City... Each force is full of powerful people, occupying one side and having great ambitions.

Among these powerful separatist forces, Tianxiahui was established late but had the strongest momentum.

Especially its gang leader Xiongba, who can be called a hero of his generation.

In just thirty years, he built the Tianxiahui from nothing into one of the most powerful sects in the Han martial arts world.

Many people even believe that Xiongba has the greatest hope of unifying the martial arts world.

As Xiongba's second disciple and one of the three hall masters of Tianxiahui, Bu Jingyun also made great contributions to the expansion of Tianxiahui and naturally had a great reputation.

Many heroes in the Han martial arts world were very surprised. They did not expect that he would appear in the Purple Gold Tower.

Even some martial arts masters in the private room on the third floor couldn't help but cast their gazes towards Bu Jingyun, with admiration flashing in their eyes.

Bu Jingyun has an extremely powerful aura. If he continues to practice, he will definitely become a top figure in the martial arts world in the future.

This also made many bigwigs present pay more attention to the influence of Tianxiahui.

However, what interested everyone more were the two questions raised by Bu Jingyun.

The real reason why Wuming retired, and the truth behind the demise of the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect has been passed down for seven hundred years and has always been the leader in the world of swordsmanship. It was still at its peak twenty years ago.

However, just like the Holy Sword Sect back then, it suddenly collapsed at the peak of its prosperity, and all its disciples died.

Wuming also retired from the world in the same year, and many people thought he had died.

Now that we know he is still alive, the truth behind the Sword Sect’s demise twenty years ago becomes even more intriguing.

As a disciple of the Sword Sect, Wuming would never sit idly by and watch the sect be destroyed.

With him around, who has the ability to wipe out the Sword Sect in one fell swoop?

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to the white jade platform, waiting for Su Chen to reveal the answer.

……

On the white jade stage.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Su Chen pondered for a moment and slowly said:

"The fall of the Sword Sect shook the martial arts world, and it was closely related to Wuming's retirement. It's indeed worth discussing in detail."

"Since everyone is interested, Su will tell you more."

"Everyone knows that the Sword Sect once produced a peerless genius, Wuming, who dominated the martial arts world at the age of nineteen."

“But few people know that besides Wuming, the Sword Sect has another outstanding figure with profound attainments in swordsmanship.”

"This man is the biological son of Jian Hui, the then head of the Sword Sect. His name is Po Jun."

"Pojun is much older than Wuming. Although his swordsmanship talent is slightly inferior to Wuming's, he is still considered a top figure in the entire martial arts world."

"Jian Hui has high hopes for him and is determined to make him the strongest among the younger generation of the Sword Sect."

"Because according to the Sword Sect's tradition, only the strongest of their generation are qualified to practice the Sword Sect's highest martial art, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect'."

"Although Jian Hui is the sect leader, he himself has no chance to learn this secret manual. He can only hope that Po Jun will inherit it."

"And Po Jun lived up to everyone's expectations. In his early twenties, he had already firmly established himself as the Sword Sect's top expert of the younger generation."

"However, at this moment, an accident occurred, and that was Wuming."

"According to the ancestral rules of the Sword Sect, anyone who can draw the heroic sword is a disciple of the Sword Sect. Jian Hui can only bring the seriously injured Wuming back to the mountain gate."

"Po Jun was dissatisfied with the fact that everyone in the Sword Sect was optimistic about Wuming, so he took Wuming's mother as a hostage and forced him to take his palm."

"Wuming had no choice but to agree to the fight to protect his nanny's life."

"At that time, Wuming's dantian was completely destroyed, but his martial arts realm had already reached the pinnacle. He was able to break Pojun's fierce attack with just a branch."

"Po Jun became even more enraged and set up traps everywhere to kill Wu Ming."
