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 Yundian. He was just asked to return to the "courtyard" of Yunwudian 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 "Earth Cangming", absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
While thinking about today's events.
With Wu Yuan's current strength of soul, it is very easy to do two things or even three things.
"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 and didn't notice anything unusual. ? "
"Unrealistic!"
Wu Yuan knew in his heart 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 was enough to show that the senior sect had their own judgment.
"Let's speculate based on common sense."
"At least, the higher-ups 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 did not forget.
When Nan Longhe was assassinated, he secretly used "flying knives" 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 "Dark Saber" has a very close relationship with me, and that "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 was probably the hidden knife." Wu Yuan didn't think 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 leaders of 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!
More importantly, it was difficult for Wu Yuan to explain 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 convincing just by saying, "It's because of one's talent that one has to go to the Dantian Palace to enlighten one's mind."
It’s still the same sentence.
His strength can barely be explained by his talent, but what about his behavior?
There are so many people in the world who are born with knowledge.
"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, so there was a falling out? This is what Wu Yuan did not want to see.
A real man should do something and not do something!
Secondly, Wu Yuan’s family and tribe are indeed quite tied to the Hengyun Sect.
deep.
"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 powerful that everyone in the 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."
A quick inventory was taken.
Wu Yuan was a little disappointed.
One grand master and three top masters carry only more than 100,000 taels of gold and silver tickets with them.
Much less than killing Ninth Prince Jin Rensu.
As for other treasures? Except for a bunch of weapons and armors, they were just worthless gadgets, not even any natural or earthly treasures.
Think about it, running thousands of miles to assassinate, how can you bring too many useless treasures?
"Eight third-grade divine weapon-level weapons, three weapons, four pieces of close-fitting 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 experts are specially made.
However, divine weapon-level "combat boots"?
Very rare.
It seems to be only a third-grade magic weapon, but it is very difficult to forge it to be comfortable and fit well. 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 magic weapons? It won't be of much help to Wu Yuan. He already has a third-grade magic weapon 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.
use? It 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.
It has been described 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 can indeed be called a sword whose light is like drizzle, unpredictable and ever-changing!
In terms of weapons alone, they are much more powerful than the third-grade divine weapon sword used by Wu Yuan.
This was 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 shook out 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 gun. 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 fine and ingenious Kung Fu. He likes the fighting method of open and close, pursuing the use of strength to overcome cleverness and the speed to defeat the slow.
Knives and axes were the happiest things in his life-and-death fight.
"but."
"According to Grandmaster Fang Xia, apart from the strongest burst of power they can carry, the biggest difference between a second-grade divine weapon and a first-grade divine weapon lies in the spirit." Wu Yuan pondered: "The essence and sharp weapon of a third-grade divine weapon are the same. "
"A second-grade divine weapon contains a hint of spirituality."
What is spirit?
Wu Yuan didn't quite understand. He had no idea at all. He had just read many books on the master's experience.
Sometimes I see it occasionally.
"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 mystery? He failed to try it out.
spirit? He didn't feel it.
After thinking for a moment.
"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 long 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 knew very well that whether it was practicing weapon skills or practicing Qi-eating techniques such as "The Great Earth Cangming".
Once you reach an advanced level, it is 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.
"Treads! Very charming textures!"
"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.
He speculated 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 more resistant.
"Wow!"
Wu Yuan, who had stood there for a long time, finally waved the magic weapon in his hand again. The speed seemed to be unchanged, but the magic sword in his hand seemed to be completely alive.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
A series of strange and unpredictable sword lights lit up in the martial arts performance hall. Countless sword lights flickered, and many water droplets appeared faintly out of thin air, just like rain appearing out of thin air, and fell to the ground one after another.
Extremely weird! Like magic!
Uh-huh!
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.
It should be noted 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 god and sword actually caused the 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 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 is not
It hindered 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, you want to trigger 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 said that a first-grade magic weapon does not require the master's divine cooperation? Once it dances, it can "breathe breath" on its own. "Wu Yuan secretly speculated.
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 tonight after a bloody battle with the Grandmaster, then traveling and practicing swordplay.
…
There are cloud mountains on all sides and 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 orders.
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 in white robe said with a smile.
He has a long beard and is unkempt, like a Taoist in the mountains.
The person 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 have to reach 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 that." 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."
Buyu 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!"
Buyu frowned slightly, this was not the answer she wanted.
"Secondly, the Dark Saber is not Wu Yuan, but he is a "Qi Refiner" in his own right, and only the remaining god is possessed by Wu Yuan. "The middle-aged man in white robe said calmly: "This is my guess. The residual god, with the help of Wu Yuan, continues to grow stronger and stronger..."
Bu Yu's eyes lit up.
She instinctively felt that this promise was closer to the truth.
Why didn't Wu Yuan be asked for questioning? Because, from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't really believe that she can
There is a seventeen-year-old grandmaster.
She thought it through.
Gu Wang is very wise, but he knows very little about some of the deep-seated secrets of the Thirteen States of Middle-earth, and his speculations are incomplete.
Huan Jian was different. He had truly 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 control objects, travel at night, and reveal themselves. , and can travel across the heaven and earth, traveling across all states and seas in one night, reaching as high as 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 spiritual soul is the only one." The middle-aged man in white robe said calmly: "If you take the body and reincarnate, and wait for your life to come back, it will be extraordinary and unspeakable."
Bu Yu was dumbfounded.
This was information she had never known before, reincarnation? It's like a fairy tale.
But she heard what the middle-aged man in white robe meant and 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 obsessed." 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 that 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.
"Junior brother, please give me some advice." Bu Yu said softly.
"He had a grudge against Da Jin for killing his father, and 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 on Yunshan Mountain for more than two years. He has kept his peace, practiced diligently, and has never violated the rules." Huan Jian said lightly: "If he has really become a great master, what else does our Hengyun Sect have that he can steal?"
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 greatly prosperous. Perhaps 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?"
Buyu was 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, just covered in 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 say anything more.
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.
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 make up her mind, waved her hand, the sword disappeared, and she took one step.
Hundreds of meters away, quickly left "Wanren Cliff".
…
time flies.
Although the Hengyun Sect tried its best to suppress the city, how could Yunshan City be sealed off forever with a population of one million?
Wang Huang and the three top masters died, which was destined to be hidden.
Moreover.
King Huang Huang of Wu Yuan engaged in a fierce 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 immediately spread like the wind and completely exploded.
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 disciple of 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", "Dark Blade and Wu Yuan's long-lasting friendship"... Dozens of messages were spread wantonly, which was 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 "three hundred million taels of silver" was spread to the seven states of the Central Plains at an astonishing speed, attracting the attention of all forces in the world!
One hundred million taels of silver is a lot for a big country.
This letter of credence, in terms of popularity, even overshadowed the "Hidden Knife Killing of Wang Huang" 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 placed in my supervisory hall by forces such as the Seven Stars Tower and the Qunxing Tower."
"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 tea cup and silently recalled the teachings of the previous temple master: "Instead, use another one that is more like reality. Guess, go and replace it!”
The secret knife is probably Wu Yuan!
Gu Wang is well aware that there are many people who would make such conjectures, 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 he is 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 hide it forever, as long as it lasts for three to five years." Gu Wang smiled slightly: "When the secret sword becomes a master in the sky, 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 cold light as he stared at the incoming man.
