107 Believe It or No (1/2)

In the car, Gu Jingman was driving Mo Wen back to the hotel. After such an incident, he knew that Gu Jingman would be in the mood to bring him around to sightsee anymore. For her to send him back to the hotel and not run back straight to the Gu Clan Fort was commendable.

After leaving the Baoli Building, Gu Jingman remained silent on the car. Mo Wen did not know what she was thinking. The atmosphere was awkward.

Mo Wen watched as the grand buildings and crowds of people from all walks of life flew past outside the car window. His eyes were distant and cold. After killing so many people, he acted as though nothing had happened.

”Little brother, who are you really? Why did you lie to me, saying you were a student?” After a while, Gu Jingman suddenly opened her mouth and said. Her eyes were still on the road ahead, so she seemingly was just simply asking.

”I really am just a student.” Mo Wen gave Gu Jingman a look. From a certain point of view, he was not hiding anything from her.

”Then…” Gu Jingman opened her mouth to ask, but the words wouldn't come out.

She had a lot to ask, but she did not know where to start. She was afraid she would cross a line.

It was like when Mo Wen used the Nine Yang Divine Technique and The Heaven and Earth Great Shift. Maybe other people did not notice the clues on the surface, thinking that it was only an impressive display of a type of fire mantra. But how could she not know? She had once viewed a remnant copy of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, so she had some understanding of it.

But the Nine Yang Divine Technique had been lost for three hundred years. Since then, it had never been seen. So, how did Mo Wen learn the Nine Yang Divine Technique?

Speaking of which, the Gu Clan Fort had a deep connection with the Ming Cult that prospered four hundred years ago. It could be said that the Gu Clan Fort was one of the branching sects that broke off when the Ming Cult split. They laid low and hid their identity, slowly developing the Gu Clan Fort as a power in the martial arts world.

Back then, the Gu Clan ancestor was one of the thirty-six ministers of the Ming Cult. Luckily, he managed to survive the catastrophe that befell the Ming Cult.

When the Ming Cult was split and many died or ran away, the higher ups were nowhere to be seen. Their headquarters on Bright Peak was also destroyed in the catastrophe, and was now a pile of rubble.

Back in the day, the Gu clan ancestor was sharp-witted. He led a group of Ming Cult followers to hide in the underground caverns under the ruins for more than a month. This way, they managed to survive the catastrophe. After the chaos had subsided, they travelled far away and established the Gu Clan Fort.

As for matters of the Ming Cult, the Gu Clan Fort still maintained them, passing them down from generation to generation. The Gu clan ancestor wrote a code for the clan, making sure that the descendants of the Ming Cult remembered the teachings of the Ming Cult, and ensuring that this would serve as their guiding principles for their future actions and conduct.

As for how Gu Jingman came into contact with the remnant copy of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, it was due to that Gu clan ancestor that fought tooth and nail to preserve the relics of the Ming Cult. Although many things were destroyed and damaged beyond repair, they were still invaluable.

Among the relics were the remnant copies of the Nine Yang Divine Technique and The Heaven and Earth Great Shift. In reality, the two copies of these divine techniques that were placed in the Bright Peak treasure trove were but remnants. They could not be used to practice.

The Nine Yang Divine Technique and The Heaven and Earth Great Shift were divine techniques that could only be practiced by the Ming Cult cult leader. The original copies were always kept by the cult leader for generations. Only after a successor was chosen could they be passed down.

The Ming Cult's treasure map, which the Tang clan and the Zhou clan were painstakingly fighting over, was also one of the relics, but it was only one fourth of a map. With the incomplete map, it was impossible to locate and find the Ming Cult's treasure.

Even so, due to the map, the Gu Clan Fort had encountered a few crises in the past, where their clan could have been exterminated. They had gone through many struggles to keep the map in the possession of the clan.

And now, this treasure map crisis started again…

”What do you want to ask?” Mo Wen asked, while smiling.
