Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang was taken aback. He had never known that Xiong Ba had a daughter. However, Wen Chou Chou tugged at his sleeve and nodded with a smile.

Su Yuchen smiled. This was a smart man, and a former confidant of Xiong Ba, so he must know a lot of inside information. With Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai also involved, he believed that Su Yuchen would be able to persuade Qin Shuang.

Su Yuchen flicked his finger, and a purple-gold flame struck Xiong Ba's corpse, instantly turning Xiong Ba into ashes, making him utterly dead.

With a wave of his hand, Su Yuchen lifted Di Shitian (Xu Fu) from the ground and said, "I need to go into seclusion in Tianshan for a while. You can handle the matters of the World Society yourself. There's no need to ask me."

With a snap, Su Yuchen snapped his fingers, and the next second, a streak of light flashed from the sea of ​​clouds atop the mountain, and a massive figure landed beside Su Yuchen—it was the Qilin.

Su Yuchen transmitted his thoughts to the Qilin, whose eyes flashed with a mixture of understanding and doubt. After shaking its head for a moment, it raised its hooves and stomped hard on the ground.

To Wen Chou Chou's horrified gaze, there was no sign of the earth shaking; it was as if it were just an illusion.

Amidst the group's puzzled expressions, a flash of divine light appeared on the bright yellow scales covering the Qilin's body, and an earthy yellow wave instantly enveloped the Number One Building Under Heaven.

The next second, a huge pavilion, tens of meters high, rose from the original ruins. The wide door was seven or eight meters high, and the pavilion almost reached into the sky.

Looking at the masterpiece before it, the Qilin snorted, revealing a hint of pride, and then ran towards the distant sea of ​​clouds, disappearing into the depths of the clouds.

Su Yuchen shook his head, ignoring it, and disappeared into the new World's Number One Restaurant with Di Shitian in his arms.

Chapter 569 The Nameless One Laughs Three Times

Looking at the Tian Shan No. 1 Building, which had been rebuilt and was even more magnificent and imposing than before, Nie Renwang and the others were dumbfounded.

"What...what kind of strange beast is that?" Wen Chou Chou asked subconsciously.

Looking at the No. 1 Building Under Heaven, Nie Renwang murmured to himself, "It's the divine beast Qilin."

Duan Shuai seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "Legend has it that the divine beast Qilin is the child of the earth, which manipulates the earth's veins and gives life to all things."

Seeing this scene, the group turned to look into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, and were deeply shocked by the bright yellow figure that was faintly visible in the clouds.

After a long while, Duan Shuai looked at the densely packed figures on the mountain path and said, "We don't need to think about these things. We must first appease the members of the World Society. We must not let them disperse and disrupt the world."

"Qin Shuang, would you be willing to help us appease the people of the World Alliance? As for the matter of Xiong Ba, we can discuss it later."

Qin Shuang looked at the members of the Tianxia Society in the distance and said, "I want you to swear that you will never harm the leader's only daughter."

Duan Shuai nodded and said, "We are by no means people who kill innocent people indiscriminately. Xiong Ba's death can only be attributed to his own way of bringing about his own demise."

Wen Chou Chou nodded and said, "I can testify about Xiong Ba's affairs. Young Master Shuang, there are many things you didn't know before, and I can tell you about them one by one."

Looking at Wen Chou Chou, Duan Shuai, and the disdainful Nie Renwang, Qin Shuang nodded.

With the assistance of Qin Shuang and Wen Chou Chou, and the fact that they were already disciples of Fengyun Hall, the World Society quickly returned to stability. As for Xiong Ba's death, no one cared. As long as the World Society existed, everyone had a place to live and make a living.

As for using this opportunity to challenge power?

Whether they had witnessed the battle between Xiong Ba and Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, or were well aware of the skills of Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, the members of the World Society simply could not muster any other thoughts.

………………

Miyin Temple.

As Buxu and Wuming walked along the mountain path, Buxu stopped and said, “Since you have already retired from the martial world, why bother with this matter? If you don’t retire now, it will be difficult to do so later.”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward the ancient temple and said, "Moreover, if everything you say is true, then it's hard to tell whether this person is righteous or evil. Why do you have to confront such an old monster? You might as well save your life for the future."

Nameless looked at his old friend, whose face was resolute and who had already decided to face death, and said:

“I believe what that person said is true. That’s why I came to see Xiao Sanxiao.”

"If he is truly the mastermind behind the great calamity in China, then I naturally bear the responsibility; if he did not intentionally allow his two sons to wreak havoc on China, then I hope he can take timely action to prevent a martial arts catastrophe in China and Japan."

"Moreover, before coming here, I had already sent Chen'er to Wushuang City. If anything unexpected happens, I believe that the necessary people will know whether Xiao Sanxiao can truly be an ally."

At this point, Wuming looked in the direction of Wushuang City. Several days ago, he had felt a powerful sword intent of the human emperor sweeping across the world, like the sun shining brightly and dispelling all evil. Even the martial will of the 'big boss' had to bow down in submission.

"Such a powerful sword intent, capable of influencing the destiny of an entire realm, seems to belong only to the legendary Emperor Xuanyuan Sword."

Wuming seemed to be deep in thought, recalling the long sword on the back of the Qilin that day, which looked like scrap iron but he couldn't see through it.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Bu Xu knew that his level of understanding was beyond his own. He immediately chanted Amitabha Buddha and stopped trying to persuade him. He then turned around and continued towards Mi Yin Temple.

As they walked, Bu Xu began to recite a scripture in a low voice. Wu Ming listened quietly for a moment, then looked on with surprise.

After Bu Xu finished reading, knowing that he had taken it all in, he smiled and said:

"This 'Instructions on Cause and Effect and Karma Transformation' was passed down from our senior monk, but unfortunately, my aptitude is limited, and I have never been able to comprehend the Buddhist teachings within it, thus obscuring my divine power."

"According to the ancient records of this temple, when this 'Karma Transformation Technique' is mastered, it can not only return all attacks completely or many times over, but also transfer the legendary cause and effect, so that one can be 'in the mortal world but not be tainted by a single leaf'."

"If anything unexpected happens today, please pass it on to me so that this divine skill will not be tarnished; if nothing unexpected happens, with this divine skill protecting you, you will have more protection. This can be considered as me doing my part for the martial arts world of China on behalf of the senior monk emperor. I think he will not blame me if he finds out."

Wuming sighed and thanked him. He had not yet seen Xiao Sanxiao, and his mind had not yet returned from a state of desirelessness. His state of mind was in perfect harmony with Buddhist philosophy. He was just casually thinking about the scriptures, and a Buddhist aura was already flowing through him.

Seeing this, Bu Xu was slightly surprised, then slowed down, letting his old friend ponder the true meaning behind it.

What surprised him even more was that, in just the short journey from the front mountain to the back mountain, the nameless "Karma Transformation Technique" had already reached the level of minor karma transformation, which allowed him to transfer the power of others without harming himself.

And this realm, even after cultivating to this point, is only the first step into it.

Unfortunately, as he entered the back mountain, Wuming's mind became attached to desires, which did not align with the "Karma Transformation Technique." His divine power regressed, and he could no longer attain the state of enlightenment where mind and spirit merged, and spirit and power merged. The "Karma Transformation Technique" came to a standstill.

………………

"You're quite an interesting kid, actually passing on the secrets of Miyin Temple to outsiders."

"Strange, little monk, why are you so wary of me now that you've come back from your trip?"

"Your sword intent and sword energy are of the highest and purest quality; you must be Wuming. Your sword intent is with you, in harmony with this world—this is the Heavenly Sword Realm of Oneness with Heaven and Man?"

"But why do you seem to resist aligning with the will of Heaven? That's strange..."

As soon as Bu Xu and Wu Ming stepped into the back mountain, the old man fishing by the pool, without even turning his head, seemed to know everything about the two of them.

Wuming knew in his heart that this person was Xiao Sanxiao, an old monster who had lived in Shenzhou for an unknown amount of time, possessed countless martial arts skills, and had accumulated countless years of internal energy.

"This junior is nameless, but I have met you, senior. You are the first 'he' in the writings of the famous writer Bai Xiaosheng."

Xiao Sanxiao seemed to realize something, and after a moment he chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"That's just a fool's prejudice against me. I have traveled all over China and occasionally revealed my true face. I have had dealings with Baixiao Manor, which was indeed recorded by his grandfather."

"I never imagined that, in his pursuit of fame, he would compile a list of things I had discussed with his grandfather in the past. How utterly pointless..."

Wuming merely used this opportunity to spark more discussion, and immediately said, "This junior believes that you, senior, are worthy of the title of the First Terrifying One. Are you aware of the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns?"

"Oh? It seems you have something in mind!" Xiao Sanxiao understood after a moment's thought and immediately turned to look at the two people behind him.

Only then did Wuming see this mysterious old man who had absorbed the Yang energy of the Xuan Turtle and lived for thousands of years.

Chapter 570 The Battle Between Nameless and Laughing Three

Facing Xiao Sanxiao's scrutinizing gaze, Wuming remained expressionless, asking, "Senior, do you have two sons, Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi?"

"what?"

Xiao Sanxiao was even more surprised, looking at Wuming and saying, "It seems I underestimated you. You probably know quite a lot. But judging from your purpose, do you think the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns is related to my two good-for-nothing sons?"

Wuming nodded and said, "That's exactly right."

Amidst Xiao Sanxiao's astonished and mocking gaze, Wuming recounted the events of the Great Calamity of China, which was divided into two phases: internal and external.

"Within the land of China, minor calamities are constantly occurring. Even my past grievances with the Ten Great Sects were merely a part of the greater calamity. Later, when I retired from the martial world, the greater calamity shifted to Xiong Ba."

"As for the outside of China, it is related to the two sons of the senior. In the past... resentment... the theft of the senior's divine skills... to Japan..."

As Wuming continued his narration, Xiao Sanxiao's expression grew increasingly grim, his face alternating between pale and flushed, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Wuming frowned, his gaze towards Xiao Sanxiao filled with doubt. He wondered if this man's unstable state of mind truly indicated that he was an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years. How could someone with such a mindset control martial arts skills accumulated over thousands of years?

………………

"You brat! Talking nonsense!"

When he heard Wuming say that Xiaojingtian and Xiaoaoshi were training the Japanese with the intention of invading China, overthrowing the martial arts world, and triggering a great calamity, Xiao Sanxiao could no longer suppress his emotions.

As he flew into a rage, his unparalleled true energy moved at will. With a "boom," the massive true energy instantly squeezed out the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), and waves of energy surged in all directions like a landslide and a tsunami.

Faced with such a massive and unparalleled attack of true energy, Wuming united his mind and spirit, and used the "Karma Transformation Technique" and the Mysterious Sword Technique to redirect a portion of the true energy attack. The remaining true energy attack was forcibly broken through by the sword energy, passing by him and Buxu without touching them.

Looking at the ancient trees that had fallen, the waterfalls that had stopped flowing, the deep pools that had burst open, and the rocks that had crumbled, Bu Xu's usually resolute face was now full of vigilance as he looked at the back mountain that had been ravaged by a tornado.

While remaining on guard, Wuming finally confirmed the man's identity. Just by looking at his casual strike, he could see that the sheer amount of true energy he possessed was beyond what a normal person could have.

Before Wuming could think further, the seemingly mad Xiao Sanxiao pounced on him like a ghost; Wuming's primordial spirit moved, and within a radius of thirty feet, man and heaven merged, transforming into a world of swords, with boundless sword energy surging towards Xiao Sanxiao.

At the same time, he clapped his hands behind him and sent Buxu far away, saying, "Master, quickly go and evacuate the monks of Miyin Temple to avoid being affected."

Facing the nameless sword domain, Xiao Sanxiao casually grabbed, and the surging sword energy gathered in his hand from all directions, allowing him to knead and shape it as he pleased. This was Xiao Sanxiao's ultimate technique, 'Myriad Paths of the Forest,' which could accommodate all kinds of different and even repulsive martial arts, and could even absorb and transform the enemy's attacks into his own.

As Xiao Sanxiao grabbed and tossed, the attack, infused with the nameless sword energy, transformed into a dense barrage of moves, hurtling towards Wuming.

Knowing the gap between himself and such an old monster, Wuming used his martial arts spirit to transform all the vital energy within thirty feet into sword energy. With a casual strike, he unleashed countless sword energies like rain and waves, and with a move called "Inexplicable," he stabbed towards Xiao Sanxiao.

This seemingly simple sword technique is truly inexplicable and unpredictable, simply because every sword aura strikes precisely at the weakest point of Xiao Sanxiao's moves.

The nameless one was inexplicable. A single sword aura could not break through the defense, but countless sword auras attacked the same point at the same time, breaking through the surface with the point, and naturally he could achieve success.

Although Xiao Sanxiao was like a phantom, he could not get rid of the nameless sword energy attack. Instead, he was forced to be flustered by the sword energy from all directions.

Seeing that he could not intervene, Buxu, who was not far away, immediately jumped away and notified the monks of Miyin Temple to leave the temple and go out to avoid disaster. At the same time, he also took the Mirror of Reflection from the Mahavira Hall.

………………

Not long after Bu Xu left, Xiao Sanxiao became increasingly agitated as he could not break through the nameless sword technique. With a casual tug, his internal energy transformed into the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind, which carried boundless primordial energy down from the heavens. The unparalleled energy transformed into a supreme strike, tearing apart all the sword energy.

The moment the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind descended, Wuming had already transformed into a sword light and dashed thirty feet away. When the wind raged in the original spot, it caused countless broken branches and leaves to fly like rain.

The nameless move, "Unspeakable Grief," stirred Xiao Sanxiao's mind with an endless sense of desolation, causing his internal energy to become chaotic. At the same time, the nameless sword energy, carrying sword intent, split into twenty-two streams, stabbing towards twenty-two major acupoints on Xiao Sanxiao's chest and back.

Xiao Sanxiao's mind was stirred, and various feelings of shame, anger, mockery, and grief of being tricked surged into his heart. Under the shock of his primordial spirit, his true energy in his body dissipated and reversed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that very moment, the nameless man unleashed twenty-two sword energies as if they were tangible, piercing towards Xiao Sanxiao. Xiao Sanxiao roared to the sky, his right fist flashing out like lightning, transforming his surroundings into an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron. The domineering thunderous force that pressed down on heaven and earth was as fast as lightning and as fierce as a collapsing mountain, unleashing five punches at the nameless man.

In an instant, the force of the punch, like a thunderbolt, transformed the area within thirty feet into a domain of lightning energy. The extremely violent energy raged across the heavens and earth, destroying everything in its path and turning it into dust that danced in the air.

Blocked for a moment by the seemingly impenetrable barrier of heaven and earth, even though Wuming broke through the blockade and transformed into a sword light, he was still struck by the world-destroying true energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Behind him, with Xiao Sanxiao as the center, all the towering ancient trees within thirty feet disappeared, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, as if the end of the world had come. The golden sunlight shone on Xiao Sanxiao, making him look like a god or a demon.

The next second, Xiao Sanxiao disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in mid-air in front of Wuming, smashing a fist as fast as heavenly fire towards Wuming's chest.

With a flash, Wuming transformed into a sword light that soared into the sky. His primordial spirit merged with the will of heaven, unleashing a move that would make him famous for a time. He recreated the image of the swordsman who had ravaged the ten major sects and whose heroism was as boundless as heaven and earth. Instantly, the unparalleled primordial energy of heaven and earth transformed into a twenty-zhang-long sword, which slashed down at Xiao Sanxiao's head.

Faced with this sword strike, Xiao Sanxiao's swift and fiery fist techniques became even more restrained. The moment his fist collided with the sword, with a loud 'boom,' boundless sword energy and heavenly fire erupted. The violent sword energy and heavenly fire ravaged the heavens and earth, turning everything into a purgatory of sword and fire.

The blow caused Wuming's internal organs to feel like they were on fire. The force of Xiao Sanxiao's punch and the backlash from heaven and earth came at the same time. He could no longer suppress his injuries and was pushed towards the cliff behind the mountain by the violent and rampant energy.

The blow also took a toll on Xiao Sanxiao. Already mentally injured, he was unable to control his fist and let his restrained fire energy explode, taking him with him. When he reappeared, his original ethereal demeanor was gone, leaving only a commoner who looked like he had just escaped from a fire and an earthquake.

Xiao Sanxiao leaped to the edge of the cliff where the fight had taken place, looked down at the deep valley shrouded in mist, sighed, and turned to leave.

Chapter 571 Refining Xu Fu

At the foot of Miyin Temple Mountain.

Sensing his friend's aura rapidly fading and finally disappearing, Bu Xu, with a sorrowful expression, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, touched his chest and looked into the mirror, and then leaped away.

Inside the main hall of the temple, where the Mirror of Reflection could not be found, and after a long search, the monks were nowhere to be found, Xiao Sanxiao let out a long howl and immediately turned and left.

All that remained was the hateful cry, "Bu Xu, you deserve to die!" which drifted away in the wind.

………………

Inside the No. 1 Building Under Heaven.

Su Yuchen strode to the rooftop window, where the ever-changing winds and clouds of Tianshan lay beneath his feet, but he didn't even glance at them, casually tossing Di Shitian to the ground.

"Should I call you Emperor Shitian, or Xu Fu?"

"Your Sacred Heart Technique is quite good; such an injury has already been completely healed."

Looking at Di Shitian, whose eyes were as usual, Su Yuchen rarely praised him.

Hearing the person in front of him reveal his identity for the second time, Xu Fu was filled with fear. He was not a martial arts expert with a strong mentality, otherwise he would not have been beaten by Wu Wudi to the point of not daring to go out.

[The cowardly yet arrogant Xu Fu was thrown into a panic when you exposed his identity.]

Looking at the narration, Su Yuchen shook his head and said calmly, "Hand over the Sacred Heart Manual, and I can let you die more comfortably; I guarantee that even Phoenix Blood won't be able to save you."
