769 Enemy of Changsan (2/2)

Ning Que looked at the rocks in front of the South Gate, which were still wet with water. He stood there shocked, speechless.

Yu Lian continued, ”That is why I was not surprised that Chen Pipi was the first to enter the Knowing Destiny State.”

Yu Lian said, ”His name is also Chen because he is the Abbey Dean's son.”

Ning Que kept silent for a moment before asking, ”So what is the Abbey Dean like?”

Yu Lian said, ”At that time, the Abbey Dean was just a normal Taoist in a Taoist temple in the Kingdom of Song. At first, the Abbey Dean showed no special talent for cultivation. As such, he never entered the West-Hill Divine Palace. So, he gave himself the most ordinary name.”

The Kingdom of Song was a small kingdom on side of the East Sea. They offered nothing in terms of historical studies, culture, or military accomplishments. But many famous people and extraordinary bigwigs came from that kingdom.

The Great Divine Priest of Light came from the Kingdom of Song 1,000 years ago. Wei Guangming came from the Kingdom of Song. Master Lotus also came from the Kingdom of Song. Even Second Brother spent his childhood in a little town there.

Ning Que had just connected the dots. The Zhishou Abbey Dean came from the Kingdom of Song. And it turned out he had a strange name.

He said, ”Chen Mou... since he's so great... why...?”

”He didn't have a reputation, and was seen as ordinary. For such an extraordinary person to not give people an extraordinary feeling? This is what Chen Mou fears the most.”

Yu Lian said, ”As far as objective reasons, apart from the unfathomable concept of the Zhishou Abbey, Chen Mou has been quiet as of late. This is mainly due to the differences in history over the past decades.”

Ning Que asked, ”What's the difference between the history of these years and that of the past countless years?”

Yu Lian said, ”The biggest difference between recent history and the history books is that the Academy has started entering the human realm.”

In the mountain behind the Academy, she was the only one who didn't say ”Youngest Uncle”. Instead, she called him Mr. Ke. This was because she was the Grandmaster of the Devil's Doctrine and it was later extinguished by Ke Haoran.

Mo Shanshan said softly, ”After that year's trip to the Wilderness, I asked my teacher. My teacher realized Master Lotus was still alive, so he told me some stories from those times. He said the Abbey Dean once fought Mr. Ke.”

”That's right.”

Yu Lian said, ”There were no witnesses to the fight between Mr. Ke and the Abbey Dean except for teacher. To this day, no one but teacher knew that Mr. Ke won the fight in the end.”

”Then, many powerhouses from Haotian Taoism attacked Mr. Ke. He cut down his enemies, not content to stop after breaking through many states. He drew his sword and pointed it to the Heavens, but was killed by Haotian.”

”Because of this, teacher was extremely saddened and angered. He went to the West-Hill Divine Kingdom, atop the Peach Mountain, and chopped down all of the peach blossoms. He killed countless Haotian Taoism powerhouses. The Abbey Dean invited the Chief Preaching Monk from the Xuankong Temple to form an alliance but they lost.”

Yu Lian continued, ”The Academy has entered the human realm. So the Abbey Dean's name has been obscured.”

Ning Que understood what his Senior Sister was saying.

As the youngest person to break the Five States, Chen Mou was without a doubt entitled to leave his name in the history of cultivators. But there were two more names in these years' history. So his achievements in comparison were not as grand.

One man was the Headmaster.

One man was called Ke Haoran.

But on the other hand, this also showed Chen Mou's strength.

Because he lost to the Youngest Uncle and the teacher, but he didn't die.

He was forced to drift about in the South Sea, but he didn't die.

Maybe the teacher cherished talent, maybe the teacher really couldn't kill him.

Either way, it proved his strength.

Youngest Uncle passed away long ago. Their teacher had also left this world.

There was no one left in this world to rival the Abbey Dean.

The man who had been suppressed for all these years would get the chance to bloom.

The enemy Chang'an will soon face is such a man.

Everyone knew he was coming, but they didn't know when he would come.

Ning Que felt his shoulders become heavy.

His sight crossed the jagged boulders and landed on the woods near the state highway.

Chang'an had already entered winter. There wasn't much vegetation left, and the storm and snow were approaching.
