Following Yu Taishang, the two returned to Yunshan overnight.
But what was beyond Wu Yuan's expectation was.
On the way back to Yunshan, Yu Taishang did not ask him about the secret knife, but only talked about his family and the Wu clan.
After entering Yunshan, he was also not allowed to go to the Yun Palace. He was just asked to return to the 'courtyard' of the Yunwu Palace to rest.
It was as if he really believed Wu Yuan's lame and pathetic reasons.
In a single-family courtyard.
Wu Yuan sat quietly in the martial arts room on the first floor.
Part of his consciousness controls his body to run "The Great Earth", absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
While thinking about today's events.
With Wu Yuan's current spiritual power, it is very easy to do two or even three things at once.
"Something's wrong."
"Sir Yu, what a wise man?" Wu Yuan frowned: "Gu Wang is even called a 'wise man' by everyone in the sect. As the master of the Supervisory Hall, he looked at the whole process today. Didn't he notice anything unusual?
?”
“Unrealistic!”
Wu Yuan knew that he could not treat everyone in the sect as idiots.
Apart from anything else, the fact that Elder Luo immediately covered up the news of his departure is enough to show that the senior officials of the sect have their own judgment.
"Let's speculate based on common sense."
"At least, the senior officials of the sect will judge that the hidden knife is related to me." Wu Yuan thought: "If we investigate the time and place where both parties appeared, it will be easy to detect clues."
Wu Yuan has not forgotten.
When Nan Longhe was assassinated, he secretly used his 'flying knife' to help the accompanying guards kill the enemy.
How could Guji not report it?
"Unfortunately, Elder Luo didn't ask me any more questions at first. He just announced unilaterally that I had not left the house." Wu Yuan shook his head secretly: "After Yu Tai came up, he communicated with Gu Wang and Zhang Changsheng for a long time, and finally believed me.
What nonsense?"
If you say there is no ghost in it, you won’t even believe it!
"Two possibilities!"
"First, they believe that the Dark Saber has a very close relationship with me, and that the Dark Saber is secretly protecting me. But if that's the case, His Majesty should at least ask me a few questions." Wu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Or maybe Yu Taishang hasn't decided what to ask me yet?"
"Second, they speculated that I might be the hidden knife." Wu Yuan did not think that he was hiding well.
In fact, there are loopholes everywhere!
However, in the past few years, his age has made everyone subconsciously ignore this possibility.
Only today.
The omissions that occurred were so big that the senior officials of the Hengyun Sect could no longer turn a blind eye.
Just make bold assumptions.
Then, if the past traces are matched one by one, the probability of Wu Yuan being exposed will skyrocket!
"Do you want a complete showdown with the sect?"
Wu Yuan was a little hesitant. He was not really worried that the sect would persecute him.
This probability exists, but it is very small!
What's more, Wu Yuan has a hard time explaining why he suddenly transformed into such terrifying strength when he was stupid before he was fourteen years old.
The seventeen-year-old Grandmaster!
Looking at the three thousand years in the earth, except for the legendary King Wu who can compete with it, the rest of the experts on the heavenly list are far behind.
how to explain?
This is not something that can be convinced by just saying, "Go to the Dantian Palace to enlighten your mind, it's due to your talent."
It’s still the same sentence.
My strength can barely be explained by talent, but how about my behavior?
There are so many people in the world who are born aware of it.
"The soldiers will stop me, and the water will cover me." Wu Yuan said secretly: "Let's see how the sect decides to deal with me in the end."
Staying unchanged in response to all changes was Wu Yuan's final decision.
He didn't want to completely fall out with the Hengyun Sect.
First of all, in the past two years or so, the sect has indeed been cultivating it with all its efforts. A falling out? This is what Wu Yuan does not want to see.
A real man should do something and not do something!
Secondly, Wu Yuan’s family and tribe are indeed deeply tied to the Hengyun Sect.
"The only thing I can do is to continue to improve my strength. Strength is the foundation." Wu Yuan clearly realized this.
There is a high probability that Yu Taishang will notice it.
Why is there no sign of falling out?
The essence is that the strength Wu Yuan unleashed today was too strong! It was so strong that the whole sect had no chance of winning.
Wu Yuan suppressed many thoughts and turned his attention to the stored magic weapon: "Let's take a look and see what treasures we harvested today."
I did a quick inventory.
Wu Yuan was a little disappointed.
A grand master and three top masters carry only more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver tickets with them.
Much less than killing the Ninth Prince Jin Rensu.
As for the other treasures? Apart from a bunch of weapons and armors, they are just worthless trinkets, not even natural treasures.
Think about it, if you run thousands of miles to assassinate someone, how can you bring too many useless treasures with you?
"Eight third-grade divine weapons, three weapons, four pieces of personal soft armor, and a pair of combat boots?" Wu Yuan took out the pair of combat boots from the storage magic weapon.
The material is very special, the outermost layer is strong, but the inner layer is quite soft.
Notice.
In a duel between warriors, boots are very important. With hundreds of thousands of kilograms of force erupting, boots with weak points will be destroyed in an instant.
Therefore, most of the boots for martial arts masters are specially made.
But, divine weapon level ‘combat boots’?
Very rare.
It seems to be only a third-grade magic weapon, but it is very difficult to make it comfortable and fit properly. The difficulty and cost are much higher than ordinary third-grade magic weapons.
"Grandmaster, you are worthy of being a grandmaster." Wu Yuan immediately tried on the boots.
I just feel like it fits my feet fairly well.
This book was created by Wang Huang for himself.
As for the other third-grade divine weapons? It won’t be of much help to Wu Yuan. He already has third-grade divine weapons and soft armor.
"We can only look for opportunities in the future to sell these magic weapons by any means." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Using ? is useless and will expose itself.
Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the soft sword in front of him: "This is the only sword."
Grandmaster Wang Huang has a total of three magic weapons on his body. The soft body armor and combat boots are both at the level of third-grade magic weapons.
This soft sword is a 'second-grade divine weapon'.
"Dry Rain Sword." Wu Yuan looked at this long sword.
There is a description in "Tian Xia Di Bang".
Wu Yuan couldn't help but recall the scene when the two sides were fighting.
In Wang Huang's hands, this sword is indeed a sword whose light is like drizzle, strange and unpredictable, and endlessly changing!
In terms of weapons alone, it is much more powerful than the third-grade divine weapon sword used by Wu Yuan.
This was also one of the reasons why Wu Yuan spent a long time and finally tried to kill Wang Huang with his injuries in exchange for his life.
"This weapon is not suitable for me." Wu Yuan pondered this magical weapon, and with a movement of his wrist, he produced several beautiful sword flowers.
No less skilled than Wang Huang's swordsmanship.
At Wu Yuan's level, the body is controlled to the smallest detail. As an extension of the body, weapons are very important, but they are not irreplaceable.
Whether it's a knife or a sword, it's just a carrier of skills.
Like Wu Yuan, he is a master of swordsmanship when using a knife, and he is a master of spearmanship when using a spear. If he uses a sword, his strength will not be much weaker.
For experts.
The most important thing about weapons is that they suit your heart.
Wu Yuan doesn't like very delicate and clever Kung Fu. He likes the fighting method of broad open and wide open, pursuing the use of strength to overcome cleverness, and the fast to defeat the slow.
Knives and axes were the happiest things in his life-and-death fight.
"but."
"According to Grandmaster Fang Xia, the biggest difference between a second-grade divine weapon and a first-grade divine weapon, apart from the strongest burst of power they can carry, lies in their spirit." Wu Yuan pondered: "The essence and sharp weapon of a third-grade divine weapon are the same.
"
"The second-grade divine weapon contains a trace of spirituality."
What is spirit?
Wu Yuan didn't quite understand it. He had no idea at all. He only saw it occasionally when reading many books on the master's experience.
"I think it's better to practice and give it a try!" Wu Yuan was curious, and without any delay, he stood up and tried the sword.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
"Whoa!" In an instant, strange sword lights lit up in the martial arts room, silent, but with a hint of splendor and beauty!
Tried dozens of moves.
"Once you start playing with it, this Drizzle Sword is indeed very comfortable and can easily withstand the explosion of all my power." Wu Yuan commented on the long sword in his hand.
But more secrets? He failed to try it out.
Spirit? He didn't feel it.
After thinking about it.
"Change the angle and try again." Wu Yuan held the sword again, but this time, he did not dance with the sword, but gradually felt the existence of the sword body with his heart.
Divine thoughts cover all directions!
The consciousness gradually perceives the sword, body, mind, and weapon, and wants to integrate the three into one, truly turning the weapon into a part of the body!
At first, still nothing was found.
But Wu Yuan was very patient.
He knows very well that whether it is practicing weapon skills or practicing Qi-eating techniques such as "The Great Earth Cangming".
Once you get to an advanced level, it's difficult to get started in a short time.
Patience is very important.
In this way, Wu Yuan kept feeling quietly and decided that the second-grade magic weapon was not as simple as he thought.
Time passed by in a breath.
Wu Yuan's heart became more and more peaceful. He still held the sword in his hand, quietly sensing it, hoping to understand the mystery contained in the sword itself.
Gradually.
More than an hour passed, when Wu Yuan's heart was completely calm, and the first light of dawn appeared in the sky.
Wu Yuan finally vaguely sensed the specialness of this magical weapon.
"Texture! Very charming texture!"
"The inside of this second-grade magic weapon actually contains special lines that communicate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is very weak and almost impossible to discern." Wu Yuan's strength sensed the deep layers of the sword body.
He figured out that these special lines were similar to the Zhoutian meridians.
"The so-called divine sword has spirit, I'm afraid, means that the divine sword has the ability to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Wu Yuan suddenly understood.
Once the second-grade divine weapon is fully understood, it can be used to connect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and activate it with all its strength, which can greatly increase its power.
Unfortunately.
Whether it was Chen Luo or Wang Huang, although they had second-grade magic weapons, their power did not change significantly during the fight with Wu Yuan.
It's just sharper and has greater endurance.
"Wow!"
Wu Yuan, who had stood there for a long time, finally waved the magic weapon in his hand again. The speed seemed to remain unchanged, but the magic sword in his hand seemed to be completely alive.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Strange and unpredictable sword lights lit up in the martial arts hall. Countless sword lights flickered, and many water droplets appeared faintly out of thin air, just like rain appearing out of thin air and falling to the ground one after another.
It’s so weird! It’s like magic!
Whoosh!
With the last swing of the sword, Wu Yuan rotated his wrist and put away the Drizzle Sword. At this moment, he was on the ground with a radius of three feet.
Everything was wet with water drops.
Please note that this is indoors, and this scene is enough to make an expert blush.
"Everything comes from spiritual energy."
Wu Yuan was also surprised: "The weapon contains special lines. Once it explodes, the weapon can refine a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its power will skyrocket?"
Just now, Wu Yuan clearly felt that the combination of his spirit and sword actually caused the divine sword to "autonomously" breathe.
Turn spiritual energy into water droplets.
When the sword came out, it was like drizzle covering all directions, making Wu Yuan's swordsmanship even more psychedelic, weird, and even more powerful!
"The second-grade divine weapon only contains a trace of spirituality, but it is so magical." Wu Yuan put away the Drizzle Sword: "The legendary first-grade divine weapon has extraordinary spirituality, how powerful can it be?"
Although I have only seen Yuelan Sword from a distance, I don't know the scene of the outbreak of a first-grade divine weapon.
But this does not prevent Wu Yuan from speculating.
"Chen Luo and Wang Huang are both masters of the mental realm, but they are unable to activate the second-grade divine weapons with all their strength." Wu Yuan secretly said, "It's because their gods are very weak. I'm afraid, they may not even be able to use their own breath."
arrive."
You can't do 'breathing' yourself, so you want to activate weapons? Of course it's difficult!
According to many classics, once you have a first-class divine weapon, the strength of an ordinary master will also skyrocket.
"Could it be that a first-grade divine weapon does not require the master's divine cooperation? Once it dances, it can 'breathe breath' on its own." Wu Yuan speculated secretly.
Sheath the sword.
He also put away all the treasures.
Wu Yuan chose - sleep!
At his level, just one hour of deep sleep a day is enough.
However, Wu Yuan was indeed a little tired after a bloody battle with the Grandmaster tonight, and then on the road to practice swordplay.
…
Eight-faced cloud mountain, Wanren cliff.
As a bright cliff, soaring hundreds of feet in the air, it looks like it has been split open by a peerless master, so it is naturally very famous.
However, in recent decades, this place has become a forbidden area for sects!
Ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach without an order.
Today, when the first ray of dawn lights up at the end of heaven and earth.
At the foot of Wanren Cliff, a special guest was welcomed.
"Senior Sister Yu, you rarely come to my place." The thin middle-aged man wearing a white robe said with a smile.
He has a long beard and is unkempt, like a Taoist in the mountains.
The one who came was none other than Grandmaster Buyu.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned to take a seat.
But except for two stone benches, where is there room to sit?
Bu Yu did not sit down, but stared at the middle-aged man in white robe. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Junior Brother Huan, you are one step ahead of me after all."
"So what if it's fast? So what if it's slow?" But the middle-aged man in white robe didn't care about his manners. He sat down and looked at the vast world: "Senior sister's talent is much higher than mine. If you are like me, you will be in the realm of heaven and human beings."
Not far."
"It's easier said than done. I've never been able to meditate, and sitting here for thirty years is just in vain." Bu Yu shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Huan, not everyone is like you."
The middle-aged man in white robe smiled slightly and did not argue.
"Sister, tell me."
"Why are you here today?" the middle-aged man in white robe asked.
"For Wu Yuan." Bu Yu said.
Immediately, she told what happened today and many of Gu Wang's guesses.
"Hidden knife? I heard my little fat guy say it." The middle-aged man in white robe said softly: "It's actually Wu Yuan?"
"The seventeen-year-old Grand Master."
"Tsk, tsk, incredible!" the middle-aged man in white robe said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Huan, I want you to help me make a decision." Bu Yu said softly: "Who do you think Wu Yuan is? What is his purpose in coming to our Hengyun Sect?"
"Did you bring his detailed file? I have read it before, but I want to read it again." The middle-aged man in white robe said.
"Bring it."
Bu Yu nodded and waved his hand.
A dossier flew out.
The middle-aged man in white robe reached out to take it and read it carefully.
For a long time, when his eyes passed over the words "I was seriously ill for several months at the age of fourteen, I immediately became enlightened and my martial arts practice improved by leaps and bounds", his eyes moved.
Slowly close the file.
"Three possibilities!"
"First, he is indeed extremely talented." The middle-aged man in white robe said softly: "Like King Wu, he is a genius!"
Bu Yu frowned slightly, this was not the answer she wanted.
"Second, the Dark Saber is not Wu Yuan, but it is a 'Qi Refiner'. Only the residual god is left, possessing Wu Yuan." The middle-aged man in white robe said lightly: "This is my guess, the residual god
, with the help of Wu Yuan, he continues to grow stronger and his strength continues to improve..."
Bu Yu's eyes lit up.
She instinctively felt that this answer was closer to the truth.
Why didn't she ask Wu Yuan for questioning? Because, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't really believe that there could really be a seventeen-year-old grand master.
She thinks very thoroughly.
Gu Wang is very wise, but he knows very little about some of the deep secrets of the Thirteen States of Middle-earth, and his speculations are incomplete.
But Huan Jian was different. He had actually come into contact with many secrets.
"The third type is also something I heard only a few words about in Xinzhou back then." The middle-aged man in white robe said softly: "Legend has it that Qi Refiners are so powerful that they can not only control objects, but also travel at night and reveal themselves.
, can even travel across the heaven and earth, travel across all states and seas in one night, and can reach the stars in the sky."
"Even, give up your own body and seize the body to be reincarnated!"
"For a powerful qi practitioner, the physical body is just a carrier, and the soul is the only one." The middle-aged man in white robe said calmly: "If you take the body and reincarnate, when your life comes back, it will be extraordinary and unspeakable."
Bu Yu was stunned when he heard this.
This is information she has never known. Reincarnation? It's like a fairy tale.
But she heard the meaning of the middle-aged man in white robe, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said solemnly: "You mean, Wu Yuan, may be the reincarnation of a heavenly being?"
"I never said that." The middle-aged man in white robe shook his head.
Bu Yu couldn't help but frown.
"Senior sister, you're in trouble." Huan Jian said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't matter which of these three possibilities it is."
"The important thing is that we can no longer restrict Wu Yuan."
"Since he dares to follow you up the mountain, it means that he is sure to escape from you and me." Huan Jian said softly: "I hope senior sister will think deeply about his words, deeds, thoughts, and his personality."
"Think about why he still wants to go up the mountain."
"It doesn't matter who he is." Huan Jian said calmly: "What matters is that we have to think clearly about what is best for us."
Bu Yu fell into deep thought.
Although she was calm in front of all her subordinates, she was filled with fear and even a little fear towards Wu Yuan.
"Please give me some advice, junior brother." Bu Yu said softly.
"He had a grudge against Da Jin for killing his father. Wang Huang and Jin Rensu died."
"He has lived in my Hengyun since he was a child, and his family and clan members are all here."
"He has been in Yunshan for more than two years. He has stayed calm and practiced diligently, and has never messed with the rules." Huan Jian said lightly: "If he really has become a great master, what else does our Hengyun Sect have that is worthy of his pursuit?"
Bu Yu was stunned.
"Everything in the world is like clouds and rivers flowing eastward. If you can't catch it, the Jin Dynasty dominates the world. We can't hold on to this ancestral inheritance." Huan Jian said softly: "Senior sister, it's better to let go."
"Give him what he wants."
"Give him what he doesn't want!"
"In the future, if he has the intention, I, Hengyun, will be prosperous. Maybe we can become the second martial sect and inherit the Taoism for three thousand years." Huan Jian chuckled and said: "If he really has no intention, is it possible that the situation can be much worse?
Jin Bingfeng?"
Bu Yu fell silent.
suddenly.
Wow~ The middle-aged man in white robe waved his hand, and a stream of light flew out and plunged into the ground.
It was a sword.
"This?" Bu Yu stared at Huan Jian in shock: "Junior brother, this is specially given to you by the ancestor."
"I have no intention of sect, give it to me, it's just dust." Huan Jian closed his eyes and said softly: "Senior sister, I have said everything that needs to be said."
"You are the leader, you decide what to do."
He didn't want to talk anymore.
Bu Yu sighed softly, pulled out his sword, jumped up, and quickly flew up the mountain wall.
Just when she was about to reach the cliff.
Suddenly, a very penetrating voice came from the cave: "Sister, I have been involved in Xia Heng's death. I will take action when the Jin soldiers arrive at Yunshan."
When Bu Yu heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart.
Take action?
Her junior brother has not made a move in thirty years.
"Is the realm of heaven and man, the door to immortality, worth leaving behind everything in the mortal world?" Bu Yu stared at the fiery red sword in his hand.
quite a while.
She seemed to have made up her mind, waved her hand, and the sword disappeared. She took a few hundred meters in one step and quickly left the 'Wanren Cliff'.
…
time flies.
Although the Hengyun Sect has tried its best to block the news, how can Yunshan City, with a population of one million, be able to block it all the time?
Wang Huang and the three top masters died, which was destined to be hidden.
Besides.
King Huang Huang of Wu Yuan engaged in a battle in the city. The noise was so loud, and the conversation between the two was heard by at least 100,000 people.
So, only two days later.
When the Hengyun Sect released the blockade, the news spread like the wind and exploded completely.
After more than half a year, the hidden knife appeared again, showing a terrifying strength that was close to that of a grand master. In one battle, he killed Grandmaster Wang Huang.
Jiangzhou is shocked!
At the same time, there were many gossips that spread.
For example, 'An Dao is actually nearly forty years old', 'An Dao is said to be a brother-in-law with the contemporary leader of the Hengyun Sect', 'The secrets that An Dao and the oiran have to tell', 'An Dao is a master secretly cultivated by the Hengyun Sect',
'The long-lasting friendship between An Dao and Wu Yuan'... There are dozens of messages spread wantonly, which is simply dazzling.
At the same time, two letters of credence appeared.
In particular, the letter of credence of the Hengyun Sect requesting the Jin Dynasty to compensate "300 million taels of silver" was spread to the seven states of the Central Plains at an alarming speed, attracting the attention of all forces in the world!
Hundreds of millions of taels of silver is a lot for a big country.
This letter of credence, in terms of popularity, even overshadowed the incident of "killing Wang Huang with a secret knife" itself.
Yunshan City.
Inside the headquarters of the Hengyun Sect Supervisory Hall.
"Palace Master, everything has been arranged." The deacon on the side came to report: "Everyone in the world may not understand it now."
"Um."
"Have you forged a series of identities about the Dark Knife Grandmaster growing up since childhood?" Gu Wang asked softly.
"It's done." The deacon nodded.
"Spread it further and take the initiative to reveal it to the secret agents planted by forces such as the Seven Stars Tower and the Qunxing Tower in my Supervisory Hall."
"After they send the news back, we will conduct a major internal investigation and arrest Ba Liu Er. All those caught will be killed," Gu Wang said calmly.
"Yes." The deacon said respectfully.
"The best way to prevent everyone from believing in a conjecture that is almost true is not to deny it." Gu Wang picked up the teacup and silently recalled the teachings of the previous temple master: "Instead, use another one that is more like reality.
Guess, go and substitute!”
The hidden knife is probably Wu Yuan!
Gu Wang is well aware that there are many people who would make conjectures like this, and he must not fool all the forces in the world.
Especially the Jin Empire and Qunxing Tower.
Therefore, he eliminated many traces of hidden knives.
What I am trying to do is to make the matter of "An Dao is nearly forty years old and suspected to be a hidden master of Hengyun Sect" a reality.
It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"I don't want to keep it secret forever, as long as it lasts for three to five years." Gu Wang smiled slightly: "When the secret knife becomes a master on the Heavenly Ranking, it won't matter whether it is exposed or not."
…
Thousands of miles away from Hengyun Sect.
Jiangzhou, Jinyang City.
"You said that the hidden knife could be Wu Yuan?" Dong Wang's eyes burst out with a cold light as he stared at the incoming man.
