Most of the disciples of Tianmen Holy Sect came from the Cloud Wasteland and were unfamiliar with the ways of the Central Plains, so they often had conflicts with the neighboring Daze Prefecture. Once, because of a dispute over the ownership of a night-cooling horse, the disciples of Tianshui Villa suffered a loss at the hands of Tianmen Holy Sect. The owner of the villa, Meng Zexi, personally went to challenge, but was cut by the sword of the Grand Master Nangong Yunhuo.
From then on, the name of the Tianmen Holy Sect began to officially spread in the world.
However, apart from the fact that Nangong Yunhuo defeated the owner of Tianshui Villa with one sword, which had a sense of legend, the rest of the rumors were not friendly. It was said that the disciples of Tianmen Shengzong were all bloodthirsty, murderous, barbaric and rude, and all of them practiced an evil art, claiming that practicing this art could lead to immortality. This evil art could allow people who were not familiar with martial arts to have martial arts above the Fuyao Realm in just a few months, and could also allow people to burst out with martial arts far more than several times their own in an instant, but it had a great backlash. After practicing this martial art for about one to two years, these people would no longer be able to use their strength because of damaged tendons and veins, and would only have internal strength and eventually become martial embryos. The so-called martial embryos were prepared for Nangong Yunhuo. Nangong Yunhuo absorbed the power of those martial embryos to have such strong martial arts.
Such a practice method violates human ethics and is naturally despised by the righteous. If the Tianmen Holy Sect still only operates in the Yunhuang land, it is not the business of the Central Plains martial arts world. However, since they have crossed the edge of Yunmeng Lake and affected Daze Prefecture, it is different. The three major sects of Daze Prefecture sent a letter to Shanglin Palace, hoping that Shanglin Palace could come to intervene. Shanglin Palace responded quickly, and this response was very sincere.
The Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Palace, Su Han, and the Master of Wuyu Tower, Xie Kanhua, went south in person.
Few people in the martial arts world know the story that followed. The most widely circulated rumor at the time was that Su Han and Xie Kanhua killed their way through the Tianmen Holy Sect and cut off Nangong Yunhuo's head with the last sword. But in fact, Su Han and Xie Kanhua only visited the Tianmen Holy Sect very politely and stayed there for half a month. After half a month, they left and told Daze Mansion that the rumors about evil arts were all unfounded rumors and that such rumors could not be discussed in the future. The Tianmen Holy Sect also promised to restrain its disciples and not to conflict with Daze Mansion, and Daze Mansion could not provoke them without authorization. Meng Zexi's injury will be treated by the best medical saint in Qianjiyuan, and the Tianmen Holy Sect also sent the precious herbs they had hidden.
This matter is over now.
Hearing this, Su Baiyi sneered: "How could it end like this?"
"It really won't end like this. It doesn't matter whether the Tianmen Holy Sect is a demon sect or not, whether they practice evil magic or not, whether their disciples are arrogant or docile, none of these matters. What matters is that they have become the overlords of the Yunhuang generation and have threatened the Daze Mansion. So the Daze Mansion is very dissatisfied with the actions of the Shanglin Tiangong, but they really dare not say it, so everything has passed smoothly. Until..." Nangong Xier's eyes were a little dim, "the battle with the Zhantianmen came."
"Zhan Tianmen." Su Baiyi repeated these three words that have great significance in the martial arts world.
"The Tianmen Holy Sect launched an expedition against the Central Plains martial arts world and invaded Daze Prefecture in a mighty manner. Shanglin Palace summoned all the major sects to form the Dragon Alliance and fought a decisive battle with the Tianmen Holy Sect on the shore of the South China Sea. This was a more tragic battle than the one between the Wuji Sword Sect and the Hero's Tomb. The Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Palace Su Han, the Second Palace Master Su Dianmo, the Master of Wuyu Tower Xie Kanhua, all the heads of the four academies, and many elites from Daze Prefecture, the four major families, and Jimo City all died in the battle against Tianmen, and in return, the entire Tianmen Holy Sect was destroyed." Nangong Xier took a deep breath, "This is the story of the battle against Tianmen in the martial arts world. No one knows the details. The few survivors of the major martial arts sects that participated in the battle kept their mouths shut about this past event. Perhaps because all the major sects were hit hard, the entire martial arts world maintained peace for more than ten years."
"This is a story about the martial arts world. So what story do you know, senior sister?" Su Baiyi asked.
"The story I know is that during the half month that Su Han and Xie Kanhua visited the Tianmen Holy Sect, a man fell in love with a woman." Nangong Xier said faintly.
"Master fell in love with the Tianmen Holy Sect..." Su Baiyi said slowly.
"Xie Kanhua met a beautiful woman there, and they soon fell in love. This woman was Nangong Yunhuo's sister, Nangong Yuwen. Afterwards, Xie Kanhua and Su Han left and returned to Weilong Mountain because Xie Kanhua had a past that needed to be settled there. They agreed to come back and get married in three months. But their next meeting." Nangong Xier's eyes were slightly moist, "was on the shore of the South China Sea."
"Senior Sister." Su Baiyi sighed softly.
"I am the daughter of Xie Kanhua and Nangong Yuwen. My father was dead when I was born, at least in everyone's eyes, he was dead until you showed up. When Nangong Yunhuo led the Tianmen Holy Sect to the north, he did not bring my mother with him because she was pregnant. The purpose of this trip was to meet with Shanglin Tiangong to discuss some things, not the so-called Eastern Expedition. When the news of the Battle of Tianmen reached Yunhuang, my mother finally couldn't sit still anymore, and took the remaining disciples of the sect to the coast of the South China Sea day and night, but unfortunately..." Nangong Xier's expression became serious, "So I must meet Xie Kanhua, and I must ask him why he didn't come to us since he survived! And what happened in the battle of Tianmen that year!"
Su Baiyi nodded: "I understand."
"Okay, so now it's your turn to tell me the story you know." Nangong Xier asked, "The evil magic back then is what they now call the "Book of Immortals."
"I grew up with my adoptive parents. They said they picked me up from the river, and I always believed it. Until one day a group of assassins suddenly came to our house. My adoptive parents, who usually only did some small business, were both masters of extraordinary martial arts. Facing the siege of many assassins, they still fought their way out. However, there were too many assassins, and my adoptive father was eventually killed. My adoptive mother took me out, but there were a constant stream of assassins on the way. She finally stayed alone to deal with those people and let me run first. But I was so young at the time that I was caught up by several people not long after I ran. Just when I was about to be killed." Su Baiyi paused and continued, "I met my master."
