Chapter 483 - THE MARTIAL ART WORLD (1) (2/2)
'because Old Dragon Li accidentally eat one of their serpent that possess the accumulation of ten years of internal energy. It was supposed to be for their sect leader. Who would have thought Old Dragon Li would be so lucky? He was hungry and he was lost. When he arrived at the valley, he saw a house. He thought since he is too hungry he would eat first the food in that house and pay for it later'
This part of the story even Tukhla knows. From the way the bulky man tells the story, he embellished the story a bit but in the martial art world that is common.
But he did not lie.
The bulky man is continuing telling the crowd of the story.
'Who would have thought a serpent tries to bite him at that time. He then grabs it and the serpent slither around him. Not able to strangle the serpent to death, Old Dragon Li bite the serpent and suck all of its blood giving him a boost of his internal energy by ten years. The Poison Valley sect members who were searching for the serpent was dumbfounded when they saw Old Dragon Li has finished drinking every blood of that serpent. They then hunted him and it was then that he met young hero Xi. The Old Dragon Li thought it was fate he met that young hero once again and form a bond.'
'So, by falling into his boat, and meeting him again Old Dragon Li thought it was fate? If that is the case, I also want to fall into his boat!' One of the people in the crowd as aid and the other people laughed.
'Fate is miraculous indeed. The bulky man said.
'It is now revealed that Old Dragon Li after being save by Young Hero Xi in the forest of Poisons, shows the young hero the moves of the Flowing Swordsmanship from the Flowing Swords Art Manual'
Hearing this Tukhla eyes widened
'One of the three great sword manuals?'
The bulky man nodded.
'It turns out that Sword Gentleman Xi Feng master ten moves of the Flowing Sword Arts'
'Only ten moves?' Tukhla ask, his face shows his disbelief
The bulky man nodded and look at the distance wistfully.
'Imagine how powerful that Flowing Sword Art. Even with only ten moves Young Hero Xi managed to use it to kill three elders of the heterodox sect. No wonder it is called one of the three great sword manuals in Jianghu'
Then he added
'Sword Gentleman is also admirable for hiding this fact. If not, he has long would be ranked higher on the List of Swordsman. I presume right now there are many sword practitioners that would be coming to Five Element Mountains to ask for some pointers from him'
Tukhla on the other hand ask one more question. Though it seems he ask this question for himself.
'But posting the Sword Gentleman achievement like this doesn't it seems like the Martial Alliance is targeting Young Hero Xi Feng?' Tukhla ask
'What do you mean?' The bulky man ask back
'By telling the martial art world he had mastered the ten moves of the Flowing Sword Art and that he killed Elders from the Sun Devouring Sect and Vulture Peak doesn't it seems like the Martial Alliance is targeting him?'
The bulky man snorted
'What do you know?'
'Why should he be afraid when he did such great deed? And why would the Martial Alliance target one of the orthodox martial artist?' The bulky man said as Tukhla just shake his head and went back to his seat.
He then whispers to his companion and said
'It seems the Holy Maiden is right. The Martial Alliance might have a spy inside it'
Tukhla knows that while some warrior like being in the limelight ad seeing their name on the List of Swordsman, he also knows that the Martial Alliance would not publish any names of the orthodox swordsman if publishing it could bring calamity on that person.
But this Xi Feng has no sect or teacher and while he did master ten moves of the Flowing Sword Arts, that did not make him a grandmaster in martial arts.
Why would they target him?
Is it related to the Immortal Tian?
Why is everyone searching for him? Even the Wu Pavilion is sending their people searching for the Immortal Tian and all of Xianbei was mobilized.
It seems this goes deeper than just some people wanting to harm Immortal Li. There is a great plot here.
Tukhla also feel that the Martial Alliance is targeting Xi Feng intentionally.
By raising his ranking and his reputation and even telling the martial art world in detail on what he had done, that is the same as making him the target of all those that is interested in the Flowing Sword Arts, the revenge of their Elders and many other interested party to pay a visit to Silhae and climb the Five Element Mountain.
Tukhla drink arrived and he drink it fast. He then urged his companion to go out of the tavern. The moment they took their horse from the stable, his companion asked
'Where should we go?'
Tukhla look to the West and said
'Silhae'
Then kicking the horse, they rode as the snow of winter falls down.
