Chapter 183 - 182: The Small Forces in a Poor and Remote Area
“Did you hear that? In Buwu City, there is a person from the Bu family who
lived three hundred years ago. His martial arts skills are at the pinnacle, unmatched by any. He claims that the martial arts techniques issued by the Emperor would burn one’s life, those who practice it have shorter lives while those who don’t, live longer. He has lived to this day because he practiced the old martial arts.”
“This must be a rumor. How could someone live for such a long time? I don’t believe it.”
Another man interrupted, “I think there might be some truth to it. We have all bought medicine from the black market and books from bookstores. They all talk about the martial arts secrets from the Bu family. These secrets greatly differ from the current martial arts techniques.”
“So what? Maybe someone from the Bu family came up with it.”
“No, those martial arts techniques are of various kinds. They don’t seem like they would be written by one person. It feels like someone memorized martial arts techniques from three hundred years ago.”
“Even if it’s true, the Emperors have said that those who practiced the old martial arts would develop bloodlust and have short lives. This person lived until now, not knowing how many people he had killed in private. He’s a demon murderer.”
Another person lowered his voice and said, “No, I’ve secretly practiced the martial arts technique from the book, and I didn’t feel any bloodlust.”
At this statement, everyone recoiled a few steps. Seeing that their friend did not turn into a murderous martial artist as the Emperor had described, they slowly approached him.
“You’re risking your life, daring to practice martial arts techniques that were not issued by the Emperor!”
The friend laughed, “I couldn’t help it. Seeing a new martial arts technique made me curious. I wanted to try it. If there’s a problem, I can just disable my martial arts.’
“So you’re saying that the Emperor lied?” The friend’s situation drastically differed from what the Emperor had described, which made people start to doubt.
“Nonsense, the Emperor would never deceive us. Maybe it’s because his practice time is still too short to show signs of bloodlust!” Some firmly believed that the Emperor is great and would never lie.
“Then how do you explain that old monster from the Bu family? If all the Emperor said is true, martial artists from three hundred years ago could only live until thirty. Current martial arts techniques can extend life. How can that person live to this day!”
“You are doubting the Emperor!” “I’m stating the facts!” “The Emperor is impossible to deceive us!”
“Facts can’t deceive us either!”
There was a disagreement between the two, sparking a fierce argument. Others quickly separated them.
Such a situation would’ve been unimaginable in the past. In the Ring Universe, the Emperor is an authority, people never doubted his words.
Older martial artists were bloodthirsty murderers with short lives, while the new martial artists had no bloodlust and lived longer lives.
This belief that’s been held for three hundred years was being challenged in just a month. The risk of this belief collapsing any time was high that the royal court didn’t dare to hesitate. They directly ordered three of the very top fighters to kill Bu Jing.
Among the top six fighters of this age, three were from the royal court.
At midnight, a dark shadow lurked around the Bu residence, blending in with the night.
“Gentlemen, since you’re already here, why don’t you show yourselves and let this old man get a glimpse of the competency of today’s warriors.” Bu Jing sat cross-legged in the martial arts field, slowly opening his eyes.
About a dozen Grandmaster Martial Artists appeared, bowing their fists in respect, “We have no intention to oppose the old man, we just want an answe…” Bu Jing shook his head, “I wasn’t talking about you.”
Footsteps echoed from the darkness, a peak level martial artist in a red official robe slowly came forward, “I thought the rumors were false. But after seeing this, I now understand that there exists a peak level martial artist that looks like this.”
“I wonder if this look is the result of a rare disease, or is it what people really look like when they grow old?”
“I don’t want to kill you, old man, but the worms from the royal court are inside me. If I don’t do what they want, it will mean my death. So, old man, please prepare to die.”
Before the Emperor ascended to the Upper Realm, he left the royal court with a method to control peak level martial artists, similar to the manipulation worms used in the nine continents.
Three peak fighters in red official robes confronted Bu Jing.
The reason Bu Jing was afraid to reveal his identity was that he feared that Qi Country would send people to kill him. Although these top fighters had shorter lifespans, their combat power was no different from the top fighters of the past, Bu Jing didn’t think he could win against three top fighters at the same time.
However, Bu Jing was not scared at all, knowing that there were three powerful figures watching him, he knew he would be safe.
“First-Class Martial Officer, th-three peak level martial artists!” Those dozen or so Grandmaster martial artists took notice and quickly distanced themselves from the Bu family.
“Hehe, the royal court wants to kill people without questioning. Could it be that this old man is really a person from three hundred years ago and has touched the pain point of the court?” Suddenly, another peak level martial artist appeared.
“It’s the esteemed Sir Lan from Bi Shui Pavilion!” Exclaimed one of the Grandmaster martial artists.
“We don’t have much time left to live, don’t you guys want to learn the method of living longer from the old man?” Another peak level martial artist appeared.
These peak level martial artists were all around their thirties to forties and didn’t have many years left to live.
“It’s the Hall Master Qing Ming from Ting Feng Tower!” The same Grandmaster martial artist exclaimed again, “There are six peak level martial artists here!”
Another peak level martial artist appeared, “I’d like to hear what martial arts secrets from three hundred years ago looked like from the gentleman. What’s been circulating in the market should not be the complete set, right? Why don’t you accompany us to a poorer place for a visit?”
‘What if I refuse?”
“Then we might have to use some methods.”
“It’s the Fisher Hermit from Diaoyu Island!” The Grandmaster martial artist was shocked, “There are six peak level martial artists here!”
Curiously, those Grandmaster martial artists asked, “Brother is so knowledgeable that he recognized all the peak level martial artists at first glance. We’ve never seen you before, may we ask where you come from?”
Everyone knew about the three peak level martial artists who were not affiliated with the court, but they had never seen them in person. The Grandmaster martial artist who could identify the origins of these high-level martial artists was clearly well-informed.
“The head of Dao Sect, Bai Hongtu,” the Grandmaster martial artist introduced himself, “These are my friends, Hall Master Jiang Li from Human Emperor
Hall, and the Queen Yu Yin from the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.”
“Dao Sect, Human Emperor Hall, Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty?” The Grandmaster martial artists were bewildered. They’d never heard of these organizations, and there’s only one Qi Country now. They puzzled over where this Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty came from.
“We come from a small faction in a remote corner, it’s normal if gentlemen haven’t heard of us,” said Hall Master Jiang Li.
“Yes, yes, our place is very poor, we can barely find a martial artist,” Bai Hongtu followed Jiang Li’s words and spoke the truth.
“The Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty is quite far from the Qi Country, it’s normal if you haven’t heard of it,” said Yu Yin, also speaking the truth.
Abu, who was hiding in the distance had his spiritual platform opened by Bai Hongtu. His senses were heightened, and he could hear their conversation clearly, his mouth twitching.
You three dare to say.
“The battle will be earth-shattering. At that time, houses will collapse, and who knows how many people from the Bu family will be crushed.” Someone expressed worry.
“Don’t worry, the old patriarch of the Bu family had anticipated this and had already moved the people from the Bu family in advance,” Jiang Li said..
