"Oh! What do you mean?"
"Since we're almost there, let's stop here and rest for a bit. I'll tell you about this history so that you don't accidentally mention that person's name at the martial arts tournament and make things awkward for everyone. We, the Seven Tigers of Fengjiang, have come here to make friends with heroes from all over the world. If we're not careful, we might offend someone instead."
"Yes, elder brother is absolutely right."
The group stopped talking, sat down side by side on the ground, and looked at the setting sun.
This scene inexplicably reminded Linghu Lan of a man and a dog under the setting sun...
The man continued, "A while ago, a ruthless person appeared in the martial arts world, namely the Soul-Severing Fairy. In the past six months, she has visited all the famous sects in the martial arts world."
"Did she go and kick down the mountain gate?"
The elder brother looked puzzled and said, "No, it's actually a good thing that she went. Recently, there have been some strange things happening in the martial arts world. It seems that someone deliberately planted many spies in the famous sects in an attempt to seize power. After that Soul-Severing Fairy arrived at each sect, she said she wanted to spar with them. In the end, she happened to catch up with the internal strife in the sect. She then took down those traitors one by one, displaying her great power and prestige."
"Huh? This is too much of a coincidence."
"Who can argue with that? Cold Mountain Alliance, Flying Snow Valley, Thousand Buddha Temple, Nine Swords Sect, all the well-known sects in the martial arts world have encountered such a thing. It should have been a good thing, but the coincidences are too great, which makes people suspicious."
Linghu Lan glanced at Fu Xin, then reached out and pinched his arm.
Fu Xin felt a pang of pain in her heart and just wanted to call for her mother, but her face still wore an adorable smile, though tears welled up in her eyes.
Linghu Lan let go.
He reached out to grab the sword.
I did a good deed and only asked for a small reward, and you all talk about me like this behind my back! Ha! I, a chivalrous swordswoman, do not tolerate ungrateful people.
One of them exclaimed, "Could it be that she deliberately planted those people in, then went to play the good guy herself, just to make a name for herself?"
“That doesn’t make sense either.” The older man shook his head. “If she really had that kind of strength, with her family’s wealth, she would already be a well-known figure in the martial arts world. Why would she go through all this trouble? Besides, her martial arts skills are superb. It wouldn’t be difficult for her to wipe out an entire sect by herself.”
"There are many people in the martial arts world who seek fame and fortune. Perhaps she is just a little more skilled in martial arts. If we're talking about someone destroying a sect by themselves, only that person back then had such a feat. I've heard that the Soul-Severing Fairy is a young woman. How could she have such power?"
The elder brother shook his head and sighed, "No, no, the martial arts of that Soul-Severing Fairy are truly superb."
"Hey, big brother, how did you know?"
The older man pondered for a moment and said, "I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else, or you'll be harming me."
"Brother, just tell me. I swear to God that if I reveal what happened today to the sixth person, may I be struck down by heaven and die a horrible death."
"Ah, you and I are brothers, there's no need for such talk. The reason I know this is because one day I went to Qianfo Temple and overheard it. During the day, I wanted to visit Qianfo Temple, but a monk stopped me, saying that the temple was closed that day and no one was allowed to go up. You know my nature, the more you forbid someone from going up, the more curious I become, so I foolishly sneaked up. And that's when I heard Abbot Jinghai of Qianfo Temple discussing the matter of the Soul-Severing Fairy with someone."
