He finally returned to the Central Plains, only to be injured by the Xuanming Divine Palm and tormented by the cold poison for many years. Even his parents had sex in front of him.
Not to mention his later experiences seeking medical treatment in Butterfly Valley, escorting Yang Buhui to the Ming Cult, encountering Wei Yixiao, and being framed by Zhu Wu's Lianhuan Manor, among others.
If an ordinary person encountered any of these things, they would probably have collapsed long ago, but Zhang Wuji survived them all.
This unwavering perseverance alone has earned him the utmost respect from countless heroes of the martial arts world.
Many people used to think that Zhang Wuji was just lucky.
But only now do they have to admit that Zhang Wuji is indeed lucky, managing to escape death several times when he was in dire straits.
However, his tenacious and loyal character is the key to his success today.
If there were still people who questioned Zhang Wuji's abilities before...
Now, almost everyone believes that Zhang Wuji will definitely be able to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal and become one of the top masters in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
The atmosphere inside the Dengtian Pavilion gradually became strange.
Su Chen's words not only answered Zhang Sanfeng's question, but also revealed some unknown secrets.
Zhang Cuishan, as Zhang Sanfeng's disciple, was originally a righteous disciple of the Wudang Sect, yet he was willing to become sworn brothers with Xie Xun and firmly believed that Xie Xun was not the great villain he was rumored to be.
Is there really some hidden story behind this?
It should be noted that in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, the forces of good and evil were locked in a stalemate, with evil masters emerging one after another.
However, there are not many truly hated villains in the entire martial arts world, and Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, is one of them.
This is why, when the major sects besieged Wudang and forced Zhang Cuishan to his death, the people of Wudang chose to endure it.
Because Xie Xun was notorious and had done too many heinous things, righteous people simply could not tolerate him.
Zhang Cuishan's decision to become sworn brothers with him was naturally unacceptable to the Wudang people.
Now that the Celestial Immortal says that Xie Xun may have been wronged, how could the martial arts practitioners present not be shocked?
What's even more surprising is another secret.
Ji Xiaofu, a member of the Emei Sect who was originally engaged to Yin Liuxia of Wudang, had an affair with Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult, and even gave birth to a daughter.
This is truly a major news story.
People in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty all know that Wudang and Emei have been on good terms for generations, and the most praised of these is the marriage between Yin Liting and Ji Xiaofu, which is considered a match made in heaven.
But before they could get married, news of Ji Xiaofu's death spread, and the marriage between the two families came to an abrupt end.
Many people in the martial arts world at the time lamented this, sighing at the tragic fate of the young man.
Yin Liting was heartbroken and has remained unmarried to this day.
Unexpectedly, it is now said that Ji Xiaofu did not die of illness, but was killed by Abbess Miejue because she had an affair with Yang Xiao.
If this were true, it would be utterly absurd.
The hall immediately erupted in discussion:
"I never imagined that Zhang Wuji's experiences would be so tortuous, with such dramatic ups and downs in just ten years. It's something that most people couldn't bear."
"I used to think Zhang Wuji was just lucky, but now it seems that with his personality, he would definitely have become a master even without practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill."
"Zhang Wuji sent Yang Buhui all the way to the Ming Cult headquarters just because of Ji Xiaofu's words. He was only fifteen years old at the time. How many people could do that?"
"Everyone in the martial arts world says that Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, is an unpardonable villain, yet Zhang Cuishan is willing to become sworn brothers with him. Could it be that we have misunderstood him?"
"Impossible! Countless innocent people have died at Xie Xun's hands over the years, how could it be false?"
"Heavens! Did I hear that right? Ji Xiaofu was actually killed by Abbess Miejue? At the time, the Emei Sect said she died of illness."
"How are you going to explain this to the Emei Sect? Are you going to reveal that Ji Xiaofu and Yang Xiao were having an affair? Wouldn't that make them a laughingstock in the martial arts world?"
"I remember that Abbess Miejue's senior brother, Gu Hongzi, was angered to death by Yang Xiao. The two had a grudge, so of course she wouldn't let Ji Xiaofu go."
The ninth private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Yin Liting stormed out of the private room, his face contorted with rage, and loudly questioned the Emei Sect members in their room:
"Abbess Miejue, is what the Celestial Immortal said true? Xiaofu... did you really kill her?"
His eyes were full of tears.
He truly loved Ji Xiaofu back then, and he still hasn't been able to let go of her.
Hearing this, the people in the hall became even more interested.
Clearly, Yin Liting was also unaware of the inside story and had been kept in the dark for many years.
Thinking of this, many people looked towards the Emei Sect's private room, wanting to hear how Abbess Miejue would respond.
Abbess Miejue slowly walked out of the private room and said coldly, "That's right, I killed Ji Xiaofu. She colluded with traitors and deserved to die."
"impossible!"
"Xiaofu is not that kind of person."
Chapter 124 Past Events
"She said she liked me, so how could she be with Yang Xiao?"
Yin Liting shouted emotionally.
Abbess Miejue remained expressionless and calmly said, "Didn't you hear what the Celestial Immortal said? She named that child 'No Regrets'."
These words struck Yin Liting's mind like a thunderclap.
These two words felt like a thousand steel needles piercing his heart, causing him excruciating pain that almost suffocated him.
He also completely lost all hope.
The perfect goddess in his heart, Ji Xiaofu, actually fell in love with someone else, and even a scoundrel!
The fifth private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
Fang Sheng strode out, stood in front of the railing, and said loudly:
"Fang Sheng of the Shaolin School of the Great Ming Dynasty greets the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
"The Golden Lion King Xie Xun committed numerous evil deeds in the martial arts world, including the massacre of countless families and sects. Even our Shaolin monk Kongjian was killed by him."
“Such a heinous person is rare in the world, and Zhang Cuishan actually became sworn brothers with him. It is simply outrageous.”
"But just now, the Celestial Immortal said that Xie Xun's actions all had reasons, which I really can't understand."
"I am willing to offer two million taels of silver as a divination fee to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal what Xie Xun's true predicament is?"
These words immediately drew agreement from many martial arts figures in the hall.
Although Xie Xun had disappeared for a full twenty years
However, his various evil deeds still circulate in the martial arts world, and many older martial arts practitioners have witnessed them firsthand.
They never imagined that Xie Xun, this heinous villain, would have such a hidden story.
Su Chen never refused business that came to him, so he immediately brought up the system and looked at Fang Sheng.
The system responded quickly:
"The fortune telling for Fang Sheng was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine martial arts manual 'Blazing Flames'."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, recalling the martial art. Although it wasn't very useful, it was still worth learning.
Anyway, it's always good to have more skills, so without thinking too much, he unfolded his folding fan and said loudly:
"The matter concerning Xie Xun is actually more complicated."
"Many of his evil deeds were indeed committed by himself, and he deserves to die, but he was also a pitiful person."
"He was originally a generous person. When he was young, he became a disciple of Cheng Kun, the master of Hunyuan Pili Shou. He graduated at the age of twenty-three, got married and had children."
"After that, he joined the Ming Cult and became the Golden Lion King, one of the four great protectors of the Ming Cult."
"Up to this point, Xie Xun has never done anything that violates the code of chivalry."
"On the contrary, because of his bold and magnanimous personality, he has done many chivalrous deeds."
"Until I was twenty-eight years old, a momentous event occurred."
"His father, mother, wife, son, siblings, servants, and all thirteen of his family members were brutally murdered."
"The one who made the move was actually his master—Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand!"
"Xie Xun tried to fight Cheng Kun to the death many times for the sake of **, but he could never defeat him."
“Cheng Kun didn’t kill him, but tortured him again and again until he was driven insane.”
"Everyone only knows that Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, is fierce and cruel, and has committed countless crimes."
"But little did they know that the real mastermind behind it all was Cheng Kun."
"Everything Xie Xun did was instigated by Cheng Kun, who even personally plotted to frame Xie Xun."
A chorus of surprised exclamations erupted from inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xun was not simply a bad person; there was a hidden story behind his actions.
But upon hearing the name "Cheng Kun," many people unconsciously furrowed their brows.
In front of the railing on the fourteenth floor.
Fang Sheng said loudly, "As far as I know, Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, was already dead before Xie Xun committed his evil deeds. How could he possibly be manipulating things from behind?"
Upon hearing this, many people in the hall nodded in agreement.
Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, was quite famous in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, so his death was also widely known.
Xie Xun disappeared twenty years ago, while Cheng Kun had already passed away more than thirty years ago.
How could someone who has already passed away be the mastermind behind Xie Xun's evil deeds?
Moreover, Cheng Kun was Xie Xun's master. Why would he kill Xie Xun's entire family and force him to take such an extreme step?
If someone else said this, no one would believe it.
But since this was said by the Celestial Immortal, there must be a reason for it.
