"Okay." Mo Wenjian nodded gently and began to narrate slowly: "At that time, your mother was kidnapped, and someone came to my house and asked me if I wanted to find my sister. I didn't say anything, but just nodded."

"That person..." Before Mo Wenjian finished speaking, Fairy Ji Yao listened attentively, and Luo Hongchen and Ling Xuan'er were also there. They all knew that this past was engraved in Mo Wenjian's bones, and every time he mentioned it, it was like reliving the pain and struggle again.

There is a saying that goes, "Everyone is in charge of the world's affairs. It's hard to say who is in charge." Mo Wenjian began to recall the past, and his eyes finally became moist. He was no longer cold and dim. Even his hidden edge became much softer when he was talking. However, when he talked about emotional or hateful things, he would unconsciously tremble slightly, or his whole body would become cold. There was a tremor in his voice, as if those memories were still so heavy for him.

It turns out that Mo Wenjian's surname was not Mo. He had the same surname as his sister, Mingyue, the mother of Fairy Ji Yao. The two siblings were born from the same mother. The eldest, Mingyue, was a lady from a wealthy family, and the second, Mingtai, was also a handsome man. They used to be so happy and carefree until the day that changed their fate came.

Suddenly one day, a mysterious man came. He was cold and looked a little scary. He insisted on taking him to the Xuanmen for cultivation. His parents were both officials and had read books of sages. Although he had heard about the Xuanmen, he thought that man was a cult and naturally refused to agree. As a result, the man actually took action. Both his parents were killed and his sister Mingyue was taken away by him. Mingtai was still young at the time and did not have any Xuan skills, so no matter how many ideas he had, it was useless.

He cried heartbreakingly, but could only bear the hatred to no avail. Finally, he remembered the Tao of Xuanmen, and a glimmer of hope came to his mind. He left home and wanted to find a famous mountain to learn from a master. But he was too young at the time. How far could he go at the age of ten?

The famous mountains nearby refused to accept him. For some reason, the Xuanmen sects all had their eyes sparkling when they saw his talent, but in the end they shook their heads and sighed, coldly rejecting him. No matter how he begged, they just ignored him. He was filled with disappointment and helplessness, but he did not give up.

In desperation, Mingtai had to go home, thinking of selling his ancestral home for some money and trying his luck in a farther place. But he was too young at the time, how far could he go at the age of ten? His plan was frustrated again, and his family's ancestral home was also targeted by those coveted people. He felt extremely helpless and desperate.

Fortunately, his sister suddenly came back and brought back a hermit master. Zhu Chunhua solved all the problems without making a fuss and accepted his sister as a disciple, although it was only a nominal disciple. Mingtai wanted to become her disciple at that time, but Zhu Chunhua said that he was not on his own path and that there would naturally be other people who would come to accept him as a disciple in the future.

Mingtai knew that he was a hermit and his words must have weight, so he followed his instructions and stayed at home to wait. Who knew that he would wait for forty years, and before he could wait for the master, he contracted a serious illness and passed away within a few days without treatment. His life slowly slipped away while he was waiting, and until the last moment, he was still waiting for the master who might never come.

After that, he seemed to be in the netherworld, and someone called him in his ear. The voice became clearer and clearer, and he gradually opened his eyes. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he felt that everything around him became strange and mysterious.

In front of the cliff at the top of the mountain, the whole mountain was filled with sword energy, tens of thousands of swords were stuck upside down on a broken mountain peak, and under his feet was the location of the Jianyin Sect, the leader of the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect - Canshan Sword Cliff. He was surprised to find that he had come to a world of swords, a place full of mystery and power.

Mingtai opened his eyes wide, as if he had traveled through the long river of time and space. He was clearly gone, but had he really crossed the boundary between life and death and arrived in another world?

The doubts in his heart were finally answered. An old man in a dark green Taoist robe appeared in front of him. He looked like an immortal and waved a whisk in his hand. He watched him slowly wake up and asked with a kind smile, "Are you scared?"

"Who are you?" Mingtai responded coldly, his eyes full of vigilance, but the next moment, he seemed to remember something and looked at the old Taoist with some expectation and hope.

The old Taoist stared at him and spoke slowly: "If I accept you as my disciple, you will be my disciple. If you don't want to, I will send you back to the netherworld. The encounter between you and me is just a brief one."

"I do." Mingtai had already understood his destiny when he was fifty years old, but deep in his heart he always had an unfulfilled obsession, which was to join the Xuanmen and find the Ghost King to take revenge.

The old Taoist nodded with a smile: "Okay, then follow me."

Mingtai followed the old Taoist priest blankly and embarked on a new journey...

In the next fifty years, Mingtai entered the Xuanmen sect and became the last disciple of Emperor Qingfeng, the head of the Jianyin Sect, the head of the righteous sect, and the disciple of Bo Liangzi, the supreme sword master known to the world. From then on, he had his own Taoist name. Because of the sword he practiced and the name given by his parents, Bo Liangzi took the true nature of it and turned it into a Taoist name. His Taoist name is Mo Wenjian, which echoes the Buddhist saying "There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There has never been anything, so where can dust be raised?" It can also be regarded as a commemoration of his parents' names.

Bo Liangzi taught him everything he knew, and Mo Wenjian learned more than 90% of Qingfeng Xu Lai's swordsmanship. Ten years later, Mo Wenjian made a name for himself in the martial arts world. He was good at the three swords of heaven, earth and man, especially the sword of Gaoxuan. Although he was the last to learn, his cultivation was far superior to his two brothers. Even within the sect, only Bo Liangzi could barely suppress him.

Mo Wenjian once again set out into the martial arts world, and this time he obtained a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon - the Changli Sword. The Changli Sword flew from the sky, passing by, and no one knew where it would end up.

Mo Wenjian felt something in his heart, thinking that this Changli Sword was destined to be with him. When Renjiandao Qingfeng moved, the Changli Sword actually sensed his presence and took the initiative to return to his hand. With a slight swing, the Changli Sword seemed to show excitement.

Mo Wenjian knew that the way of swords is also the way of the human world. Changli Sword was named Changli, so he naturally understood the true meaning of the human world. The magic weapon has a spirit, and once it finds a master, it is difficult to find another one. From then on, it stayed by Mo Wenjian's side and became his inseparable partner.

With the help of Changli Sword, Mo Wenjian's reputation became even more famous. Everyone in Xuanmen knew that he was a lonely swordsman, and he was already the next emperor of Jianyinmen. However, Mo Wenjian had his own obsession in his heart. He wanted to find his lost sister and go to the Fairy Demon Island to avenge his blood feud.

However, things in the world are often full of helplessness. Following Bo Liangzi's guidance, Mo Wenjian found Zhu Chunhua's residence in Kunlun overseas, but the isolated island was deserted. Zhu Chunhua had died in the war and his sister was nowhere to be found.

With his family missing, he traveled all over the world, hoping to find some trace of his sister. However, after searching for a long time, he still didn't know where the person he was worried about was. Mo Wenjian's murderous intent gradually rose in his heart, and he decided to avenge his blood feud first.

On the Fairy Demon Island, he used his sword alone to break through the layers of defense of the Han Clan and finally reached the main hall. The people in the prison saw that he was extraordinary and their eyes were full of admiration. They even specifically ordered the Ghost King to come and confront him. Both sides said the same thing. His parents were indeed killed by the Ghost King. The two fought to the death, and the Han Clan would never intervene. If not, the Han Clan would also help him find out the truth.

Mo Wenjian was arrogant at the time and readily agreed. But who knew that in the hall, the two of them were facing each other, and his parents' great hatred actually hid a secret unknown to others.

In that chaotic era, the Ghost King's pursuit of those super weapons was unmatched! Unfortunately, he was a few days late and missed a good opportunity to recruit an apprentice. Just before he arrived, a guy pretended to be the Ghost King and went to his house to recruit an apprentice. As a result, he didn't know how to succeed, and he killed everyone in the house. In the end, he framed the Ghost King for this.

When the ghost king passed by the mansion, he happened to see a man dressed exactly like himself, with a little girl of about ten years old beside him. The ghost king took a closer look and thought, hey, this little girl looks a bit like him! He immediately rushed over to ask what was going on. The two of them didn't agree on anything, and soon they started fighting. The magic that guy used was all the tricks of the ghost way, and he didn't show the signature skills of his own sect.

The ghost king knew that this person must be hiding his identity. So he used his most precious treasure, the soul-calling flag, and set up a super powerful ghost formation, hoping to use the power of the underworld to force him to show his true form. But when the man saw the soul-calling flag, he immediately became timid, left the little girl behind, and ran away.

The Ghost King wanted to chase her, but when he saw the little girl fainted and the green light of the Soul Locking Curse flashing on her body, he became curious. He wanted to know which sect the little girl was from and why she was captured. After some investigation, he found out that the little girl was not a cultivator at all, but the daughter of an official family. Her parents had just been killed by the guy pretending to be the Ghost King, and the mastermind behind all this was actually her own brother.

The Ghost King's curiosity was aroused. He wanted to know what kind of physique this girl had that could attract such a powerful master. Even when he used all his strength, he couldn't stop her and couldn't even use his own unique skills. So, he decided to take this girl home.

The old wily Ghost King did not show up directly, but locked up the girl and quietly went to her brother. He used a little trick to make the brother dizzy, and then examined him carefully.

But strangely, the Ghost King didn't find anything special about his younger brother. He was just an ordinary person with a head full of knowledge. If the Ghost King found out that his younger brother had any special talents, he would definitely take him back to the humble family without saying anything. As for the three furnaces and the magic weapon, there would be plenty of opportunities to get them in the future.

The ghost king turned around to check on the girl and found that she was much stronger than his brother. What was even more surprising was that in addition to her own soul, there was actually an unformed humanoid spirit in her head. Although this spirit was a little fuzzy and lifeless, it did exist, and the faint spirituality in the ignorance was not fake.

The ghost king was delighted. If he could tame this girl, she would definitely become the successor of the ghost path. He was thinking of a plan in his mind. He decided to conceal the fact that someone had impersonated him to do bad things, and use this to threaten the girl, so that she would go with him to deceive the three furnaces. In this way, if Lingyan Pavilion, one of the nine Yao Xianmen of the righteous path, held a grudge, the girl would draw a clear line between herself and the righteous path. With some tricks and a little conquest, a teenage girl would naturally be willing to worship him as a teacher.

As time went by, the relationship between the master and the apprentice became better and better. The Ghost King taught her everything he knew, and at the same time used the poor family as a cover to investigate the injustice of the year and help her to avenge her. Even if her enemy was a top master of the Xuanmen, she could not blame others for not being able to avenge him. On the contrary, it might inspire her fighting spirit and let her go further and further on the road of cultivation. In this way, not only would the Ghost King have someone to inherit his unique skills, but the poor family would also have one more top master, and the righteous path would also have one more powerful opponent, or even a deadly enemy. No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the Ghost King made up his mind, he threatened the girl with the life of her brother and forced her to act out a play with him. Originally, everything was going well. He had already obtained the three furnaces and even captured the two sisters Ling Xuan'er and Ling Xian'er. However, because the distance was too far and the masters of Lingyan Pavilion fought desperately, the Ghost King had to retreat temporarily and wait for a better opportunity.

As soon as the Ghost King returned to Hanmen, he heard that the girl was taken to Lingyan Pavilion. He thought to himself that he had to find a good time to make a move. But he never expected that Lingyan Pavilion would act so quickly and actually invite Zhu Chunhua from Kunlun overseas. As soon as Zhu Chunhua heard about this, he immediately rushed to the Great Snow Mountain and headed straight to Hanmen.

On the Fairy Demon Island, everything was handled by the prisoner. Although the Ghost King was unhappy, he had to obey the Sect Master, return the magic weapon, and release the hostages. As for the matter of the girl, the Ghost King knew Zhu Chunhua's ability, and believed that he could see the girl's specialness at a glance, so the Ghost King felt that there was no need to worry about it, and simply did not mention it.

Zhu Chunhua accepted the apprentice and returned to the mountain gate, so the Ghost King did not say anything more. As for the troubles that Lingyan Pavilion caused later, although Mo Wenjian was in the sect, he also heard some of it. So the Ghost King felt that there was no need to elaborate on these things.

Among all these things, what worries Mo Wenjian the most is who the murderer who pretended to be the Ghost King and killed his parents is. The Ghost King knows nothing about this, so naturally he can't tell who the murderer is. However, the Ghost King has fought with that person before, so he can provide some clues. He told Mo Wenjian that the person obviously concealed his identity on purpose, and he is likely to be a righteous person. Otherwise, if he is an evil person and has such a high level of cultivation, as long as he shows himself to the Ghost King, the two of them can easily figure out the matter of the siblings.
