The eleventh day after the extermination of the Evil Valley.
The young man had been frantically improving his martial arts skills during this period.
Lu Shanjun couldn't be considered a qualified teacher until he t Lady Jade Face, who taught him genuine cultivation thods. Now, thinking back, he wondered what on earth Lu Shanjun had been teaching. If he created martial arts based on Lu Shanjun's thods, those who practiced them in the future would likely lose their minds and die in droves.
"Only the strong are worthy of becoming my disciples." — Duncan and Lu Shanjun.
The relationship between Duncan and Lu Shanjun could be described as both teacher and friend. Recently, so news ca from Hainan, suggesting that an unparalleled expert was fighting the waves in the North Sea and exchanged moves with the Three Immortals of the South Sea. It was said the match was even, and the expert was hailed as a rising top master in the martial world.
The place Lu Shanjun went to is what would later beco the city of the North Sea, now part of HePu County and ichuan area.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liu Chang of Southern Han stationed 8,000 soldiers in the town of Hain for the purpose of pearl collecting, known as "ichuan Area."
Many people reportedly died there in the pursuit of pearls.
Lu Shanjun road the world, acting as he pleased. When he saw coastal fishern being forced to collect pearls, he beheaded several eunuchs and used their heads as balls to kick, which also set him at odds with the Three Immortals of the South Sea.
As for who the Three Immortals of the South Sea are, he doesn't know. He plans to give them a beating first upon eting.
White Fox Manor.
Fu Jianhan seed to have been at odds with the Five Immortals Sect recently, reportedly causing quite a stir outside, nearly drawing in the sect's holy maiden.
The good news is that the Monk Unbreakable survived, though severely injured, with more than half of his martial arts gone, but at least he's alive.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside the door.
Yin itang's voluptuous and alluring figure appeared. She had been attending Duncan closely during this ti, even recovering significantly from her hidden injuries. She cautiously stepped into the courtyard, unsure whether to report to the young man sitting cross-legged, supporting himself with his fingers on the ground.
"What's the matter?"
Duncan slowly opened his eyes. Before, when he refined his murderous aura, opening his eyes would surely reveal a strange vision of double pupils. But now, his gaze was calm, and even his aura was so restrained that he seed like an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.
Lady Jade Face's internal breathing technique truly had so rit, capable of concealing his entire martial arts prowess.
This was another level in his control ability.
Yin itang approached the young man's ear and whispered, "Young master."
"You sent to investigate strange tales in the martial arts world."
"Recently, there have been so odd occurrences near ichuan Area, and I'm not sure if I should report them to you."
Strange tales in the martial arts world?
Odd occurrences?
Duncan's interest was piqued, and he said slowly, "Let's hear it."
Yin itang whispered, "Lately, near the ichuan Area, there are reports of a monster that sucks human blood. The victims look horribly tragic, with bite marks on their necks, rumored to be the work of zombies."
Zombies?
Is this world turning into a huge map spawner?
Duncan instantly felt an urge to move, glanced at the alluring woman beside him, and asked, "And what else?"
It was obvious she hadn't finished her story.
Yin itang hesitated, "Recently, there have been frequent grave robberies in the Lingnan region. It's said that soone discovered a Pre-Qin Era ancient tomb, the dynasty unknown, but rumors say inside the tomb lies a woman in green robes, life-like as if a celestial being."
"After being awakened by tomb robbers, she disappeared without a trace."
"People from the Taoist sects claim the woman is the celestial being- Ba, but this is all too absurd, and even Lady Jade Face is still investigating."
Celestial being- Ba?
Is she the one from the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou's great battle, or from the Pre-Qin Era myths and legends?
Duncan's interest was instantly piqued, and he asked seriously, "Tell more in detail."
Yin itang recalled and whispered, "Even I don't know. Lady Jade Face dispatched many people, but none have found any news."
"But the rumors are related to the Demonic Sect."
"An expert from Xiangxi discovered a Pre-Qin Era ancient tomb, opened the underground burial chamber, and found many relics from the Pre-Qin Era."
"Soone even obtained a Pre-Qin Era secret technique."
"After a fierce battle, there were many casualties. Soone snatched the Pre-Qin secret technique and fled all the way from ichuan Area."
"The Three Immortals of the South Sea also mobilized upon hearing the news."
"It's said their disciples are searching all over for that expert from Xiangxi."
"Lu Shanjun might also be active nearby."
With such excitent, Lu Shanjun probably already went.
Duncan only pondered for a mont before asking, "Where is Fu Jianhan now?"
Yin itang shook her head, "I don't know."
"A few days ago, he fought with people from the Five Immortals Sect over capturing their ice silkworm venom models for wine."
Duncan knew about this matter.
A few days ago, Fu Jianhan ntioned he had co up with a secret recipe for making wine, called 'Ice Fire Nine Heavens.' The Five Immortals Sect's thods are demonic sect techniques, which he had always disapproved of, as practitioners of Poison Technique in the martial arts world were rarely clean.
But you can't exclusively target the Five Immortals Sect for exploitation!
Even if their reputation was poor, if you kept using their poisonous creatures for brewing wine, sooner or later, you'd draw the sect's holy maiden's attention, and he'd suffer the consequences.
The top experts of the Five Immortals Sect are also of the initiation level.
Upon hearing this, Duncan imdiately got up and said, "I'll go to ichuan Area and take a look."
"You stay behind and inform Xin Yue."
Hu Xinyue.
The na Lady Jade Face always seed familiar, like there was a Xinyue Fox among the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions.
If the Twelve Yuan-Chen appear,
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, the Seventy-Two Earth Fiends, might they also erge?
Hmm?
It seems Water Margin was indeed during the Song Dynasty, precisely the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song.
Duncan planned to go to ichuan Area and see for himself.
