Chapter 329

Ao Ri had originally been in seclusion with the Defeat and Death Sword, leaving the forging of the Peerless Good Sword to Ao Tian, but he never expected to suddenly hear Lady Ao's voice transmission: The Peerless Good Sword... has run away!

In shock and anger, Ao Ri had no choice but to end his seclusion!

The Peerless Good Sword could only belong to Baijian Shanzhuang!

"Baijian Shanzhuang... Ao Ri?!"

Wuming saw this figure and sensed the fierce aura of the Defeat and Death Sword in his hand, instantly recognizing the newcomer.

"Hmm?! You are... Wuming?!"

"Why are you here?! Was the Peerless Good Sword taken by you?!"

Seeing Wuming, Ao Ri was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of shock and unwillingness.

If the Peerless Good Sword had been taken by Wuming, even if he were unwilling, he probably would not be able to get it back.

"Unfortunately... it is not!"

Wuming shook his head, feeling endless emotion, his heart silent.

"It is good that it is not!"

Hearing this, Ao Ri felt an inexplicable sense of relief. "Since it is not... hmm?! Ao Tian?!"

Just then, Ao Ri's pupils constricted sharply as he saw Ao Tian's corpse. His face changed drastically, shocked and angry. "Wuming! You... you actually killed Ao Tian?!"

"You... you said you had retired from the world and would no longer break your vow of killing!"

"Ao Ri! You misunderstand! Ao Tian's death was not my doing!"

Seeing this, Wuming gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

"If not you, then who?!"

"Who could kill someone right in front of you!"

Ao Ri roared; he simply could not think of any other possibility besides this explanation.

After all, this was the martial arts myth, Heavenly Sword Wuming!

"You are wrong!"

"It really was not me!"

"In this world, geniuses emerge in succession; there is always someone better! There are many experts who could defeat me, let alone kill someone right in front of me!"

Wuming gave a bitter smile and sighed long.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Since it was not you, Wuming, who made a move! Then tell me, who exactly killed Ao Tian?!"

"I will go and avenge him myself!"

Ao Ri naturally did not believe Wuming's words, only sneering as he spoke.

"You... are not his match!"

"Better not go to your death!"

Wuming could not help but say, not wanting to see Ao Ri go to his death.

"Hahaha! I am not a match?! I should not go to my death?!"

"Wuming! I never expected you to talk nonsense too!"

"Tell me! Was Ao Tian... killed by you?!"

Seeing this, Ao Ri mocked Wuming, even more certain that it was Wuming who had made a move and killed Ao Tian.

"I already said it wasn't my master who did it! Why won't you believe it!"

Jian Chen finally regained his senses and could not stand it anymore. "You want to know who did it?! Fine! I will tell you! His name is... Li Zhangsheng! He is a disciple of Wang Chongyang of the Ruquanzhen Sect!"

"If you have the ability, go and avenge him! If you don't go, you are... a little dog! I look down on..."

Before Jian Chen could finish, Wuming's expression changed. "Jian Chen! Shut up!"

"Li Zhangsheng, is it?!"

"And what sect is the Ruquanzhen Sect?! Who is Wang Chongyang?! Never heard of them!"

Ao Ri saw the young man beside Wuming mention an unknown name and felt a slight stir, somewhat skeptical.

He did not want to make a move against Wuming because he was simply not Wuming's match!

But facing Ao Tian's death, Ao Ri had to avenge him; otherwise, the hearts of the people at Baijian Shanzhuang would scatter!

Therefore, facing Wuming, Ao Ri was in a dilemma.

Now, Jian Chen had mentioned a name; whether it was true or false, Ao Ri had a way to step down.

"Shanzhuang Master Ao Ri! Look at that Wuming Small Mountain before deciding whether to make a move!"

Seeing this, Wuming sighed slightly and had no choice but to point at the Wuming Small Mountain to the side, speaking slowly.

"Wuming Small Mountain?!"

Ao Ri was stunned and looked in the direction Wuming pointed. On that small mountain, a 'Sword' character was engraved.

In an instant, Ao Ri was attracted by this 'Sword' character, and his entire mind was drawn into it.

"I understand! I understand! So that's it! The Ao Ri Sword Art turns into the Ao Ri divine ability! So it was actually this simple?!"

Ao Ri was overjoyed. He had been in seclusion in the forbidden area of Baijian Shanzhuang, advancing the 'Buqun Sword Art' to become his own 'Ao Ri Sword Art', and had achieved the Ao Ri Dharma Body. The next step was to transform the 'Ao Ri Sword Art' into the Ao Ri divine ability, thereby breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm.

A hundred years had passed, and the 'Ao Ri Sword Art' could never be transformed into a divine ability, preventing him from breaking through to the Divine Ability Realm.

But now, Ao Ri finally saw the light of dawn.

"Rest assured, Tian'er! As long as I break through to the Divine Ability Realm, I will avenge you! No matter who the other party is?! Let alone a disciple of the Ruquanzhen Sect that I have never even heard of..."

At this very moment, Ao Ri felt full of confidence.

The Divine Ability Realm, while not the peak of martial artists in the world, was still a hegemon of a region!

"Heh! Divine Ability Realm?! Avenge?! I tell you, the person who left this 'Sword' character is the person you want to avenge against!"

"Now, do you still want to avenge?!"

Just then, Jian Chen spoke again with a light laugh, his face full of disdain.

"W... what?!"

Ao Ri was dumbfounded upon hearing this, asking in disbelief, "The person who left this 'Sword' character is the person I want to avenge against...?"

"This... how is that possible?!"

"You... didn't you say he was some disciple of Wang Chongyang of the Ruquanzhen Sect?!"

"I have never even heard of this Ruquanzhen Sect! How could there be such a powerful disciple?!"

Ao Ri shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe this fact.

You must know, he had been in seclusion for a hundred years and had not heard of the Ruquanzhen Sect's name.

That is to say, the Ruquanzhen Sect was a sect less than a hundred years old?!

A sect less than a hundred years old, and a disciple at that, not the founding patriarch, how could he... be so strong?!

Hearing Jian Chen's words, Ao Ri turned around in shock, looking at Wuming, seemingly wanting to see Wuming deny it.

"It is indeed... so!"

However, Wuming nodded and said affirmatively, "This child is brilliant and talented, worthy of being called invincible! In terms of sword path, even I am not his match!"

What?!

Even the martial arts myth, Heavenly Sword Wuming... is not his match?!

Ao Ri of Baijian Shanzhuang was completely terrified, speechless for a long time, his heart filled with fear and dread, unable to calm down at all.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng gave Bu Jingyun a chance and let him leave; Bu Jingyun was somewhat unwilling, but seeing Li Zhangsheng somewhat impatient, he feared losing even that glimmer of a chance and had to leave first to complete the task Li Zhangsheng had given him.

Half a month later, Li Zhangsheng, with Nangong Pushie and Wang Yuyan, returned to Mount Zhongnan and the Ruquanzhen Sect.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng, Huang Rong was quite pleasantly surprised, but seeing Wang Yuyan behind Li Zhangsheng, her expression changed instantly. Gritting her teeth, she blurted out, "This wouldn't be another princess's maid from some country, would it?!" ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
