The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Why is it described as "suspected"? Because Lu Yao was also unsure whether the person he discovered was Nie Renwang.

Lu Yao discovered a bamboo house in the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Niejia Village, where a middle-aged man was digging bamboo shoots with a basket on his back.

The middle-aged man's movements were no different from those of an ordinary person, and there was no trace of martial arts training whatsoever.

Just as Lu Yao was observing silently, a woman dressed in a white dress walked over, holding a freshly dug bamboo shoot in her hand.

"King of Men, here you go."

The woman in white, holding bamboo shoots, walked happily to the middle-aged man and said with a smile.

Lu Yao could see clearly that there was a hint of impatience hidden deep in the white-clad woman's eyes.

"Yingying did a good job."

The middle-aged man took the bamboo shoots and put them into the basket on his back, saying with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yao immediately knew that the two were the reclusive Nie Renwang and his wife.

Yan Ying was exceptionally beautiful and clearly not an ordinary village girl. Nie Renwang probably moved out of the village to avoid trouble, and the three of them lived alone here.

Lu Yao no longer concealed himself and appeared directly in front of the two.

"Nie Renwang, the Mad Saber of the Northern Drinking Sect?"

Lu Yao looked at Nie Renwang and asked.

Although it was a question, the tone was very certain.

"You got the wrong person."

Nie Renwang composed himself and said calmly.

He then took Yan Ying's hand and prepared to turn and leave.

"What's the use of hiding? Fight me, and if I lose, I'll turn around and leave immediately."

Lu Yao looked at Nie Renwang, who was about to leave, and said with a smile.

"I told you, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Nie Renwang didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Yao. Without stopping, he pulled Yan Ying, who was watching the show, away.

"excuse me."

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly. Knowing that it would be useless to talk to Nie Renwang nicely, he decided to take action directly.

"Great Demon-Subduing Fist!"

Lu Yao's true energy surged instantly, and a powerful fist blasted towards Nie Renwang.

Faced with Lu Yao's attack, Nie Renwang's expression changed. He pushed Yan Ying aside and struck Lu Yao's fists with a palm.

"boom!"

Two powerful energies stirred up a gust of wind, whipping up the bamboo leaves on the ground and scattering them in all directions with a whooshing sound.

Lu Yao remained calm. He had come here to test his skills against Nie Renwang, so he naturally wouldn't hold back.

"Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

Lu Yao gave a silent shout, and several sword energies shot out from his hand, stabbing towards Nie Renwang.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword remains Lu Yao's strongest attack method, which he wields with unparalleled skill, its sword energy extremely sharp.

"What kind of martial art is this?!"

Nie Renwang felt a stinging sensation from the sword energy and was startled.

As a renowned figure in the martial arts world, the Northern Drinking Mad Saber not only possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of the martial arts of various major forces, but was also familiar with most of them.

However, from the moment the fight began, Lu Yao displayed a martial art that he did not recognize, which naturally surprised him.

"I never expected that after years of seclusion, so many powerful skills and unique techniques would emerge in the martial arts world! Truly, there are so many talented people out there."

Nie Renwang thought that a martial arts prodigy in the martial arts world had created a new martial art, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, is this all the strength you, the renowned Northern Drinking Mad Blade, possess?"

Lu Yao laughed loudly, using a provocation tactic.

"Hmph! Even without the Snow Drinking Blade, you won't be able to take me down so easily!"

Nie Renwang snorted coldly, his true energy surging wildly, and he used his hand as a blade, his blade energy crisscrossing.

"The Six Absolute Techniques of Aohan!"

Nie Renwang shouted in his heart and unleashed his family's secret technique, instantly slashing out with several blade energies towards Lu Yao's sword energy.

"Buzz!"

The sword energy and the saber energy clashed, creating violent fluctuations. The sword energy pierced through the saber energy, and the saber energy cut through the sword energy, producing several booming sounds.

Lu Yao continuously gathered the six-meridian sword energy, forming a sword array in the air to surround Nie Renwang.

Nie Renwang unleashed his sword energy rapidly, but it was not as fast as Lu Yao's gathering speed, and his expression darkened.

"Six Meridians Divine Sword Formation!"

Lu Yao's expression hardened, and a sword formation composed of 108 sword energies enveloped Nie Renwang. The terrifying sword aura caused cold sweat to pour down Nie Renwang's forehead.

Just as Nie Renwang was about to fight to the death, the sword energy that filled the sky suddenly disappeared.

Why did you stop?

Nie Renwang frowned, looking at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"I have no deep-seated hatred for you, so why should I fight you to the death? I'm just here to test my martial arts."

Lu Yao shrugged and said with a smile.

Are you using me as your whetstone?

Nie Renwang's lips twitched, and he looked at Lu Yao with some shock.

"The path of martial arts cannot be learned by simply working behind closed doors; sparring with others is the best way to improve."

Lu Yao looked at Nie Renwang and spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"No wonder you've reached such a level in martial arts at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Nie Renwang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Senior Nie, would you be willing to discuss our respective martial arts with me?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted, and he made a suggestion to Nie Renwang.

Although Lu Yao had just overpowered Nie Renwang, the difference between Nie Renwang having the Snow Drinking Saber and not having it is significant.

As one of the few divine weapons in the world of Fengyun, the Snow Drinking Blade greatly enhances the strength of martial artists. In particular, Nie Renwang's Six Absolute Skills of Frost are very compatible with the Snow Drinking Blade, and its power is not to be underestimated.

"I have long since retired from the martial world, so what is there left to discuss about martial arts?"

Nie Renwang smiled freely. He now enjoys his current rural life and is content as long as he can stay with his wife and children.

"There is no conflict between discussing martial arts and retiring from the martial world. Senior Nie is being too attached to appearances."

Lu Yao chuckled and looked at Nie Renwang with great interest.

Lu Yao planned to discuss martial arts with Nie Renwang to understand the differences between the martial arts in the Fengyun world and his own.

He had noticed during his fight with Nie Renwang that there were some differences between Nie Renwang's martial arts and his own.

"I was being stubborn, please!"

Nie Renwang chuckled and then invited Lu Yao to his residence.

Yan Ying stepped forward, took Nie Renwang's arm, and turned back to give Lu Yao a deep look.

Lu Yao, who was walking behind, was taken aback. He suddenly remembered that Yan Ying had a reputation for being a powerful figure's accessory. Could this woman have taken a liking to him?

Lu Yao shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his mind, and followed Nie Renwang's figure.

In a short while, the group arrived at Nie Renwang's bamboo grove courtyard.

Just as Nie Renwang and Yan Ying entered the courtyard, a little boy ran out.

"Dad, Mom!"

Young Nie Feng rushed into Nie Renwang's arms and shouted happily.

“This is my son, Nie Feng.”

Nie Renwang smiled and turned to Lu Yao, his expression full of happiness.

"I do not yet know your name. May I ask?"

Nie Renwang suddenly remembered that he didn't know Lu Yao's name, so he couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing Nie Renwang's words, Yan Ying, who was standing to the side, also looked over.

"My name is Lu Yao."

Lu Yao chuckled and spoke.

"Uncle Lu!"

Nie Feng, nestled in Nie Renwang's arms, called out to Lu Yao with remarkable understanding.

"What a thoughtful child. Here's a little gift for you."

Lu Yao looked at Nie Feng, one of the main characters in the world of Fengyun, and with a thought, he took out a precious sword made of cold iron.
