Chapter 531

~7 min read 1,347 words

"Chu Chu Nangong, or Huang Shi Gong, both are fine. You can call me whatever you like!"

After hearing Su Xuan's words, Chu Chu Nangong remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

He did not put on any airs of a senior expert in front of Su Xuan.

In the end, so-called senior experts are only for juniors weaker than themselves.

Although Su Xuan was considered his junior, in terms of strength, he was not necessarily inferior to him, as he was, after all, the powerhouse who defeated that person and became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School.

"I wonder what the famous Chu Chu Nangong is doing appearing before me?" Su Xuan looked at Chu Chu Nangong, his voice slightly cold, "You seem to be a Chu person. At present, the Qin Guo is attacking Chu, so are you trying to stand up for the State of Chu? And therefore venting your anger on the Yin-Yang School?"

"Master Xuantian thinks too much!" Chu Chu Nangong shook his head and said, "I have lived in seclusion in the Great Marsh of Yunmeng for many years; I have long since stopped caring about the rise and fall of the world."

"Is that so?" Su Xuan did not believe it.

Simply because, in the original story, Chu Chu Nangong's stance was truly quite interesting.

On one hand, as a Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang School, he enjoyed the courtesy of the Qin Guo; on the other hand, he secretly assisted rebels, not only uttering words like "Though Chu has only three households, Chu will surely destroy Qin," but also guiding Long Qie to find the four people of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain. Besides that, teaching Zhang Liang, the number one rebel, and teaching Han Xin goes without saying.

Although he was a member of the Yin-Yang School, the many things he did were diametrically opposed to the stance of the Yin-Yang School.

Chu Chu Nangong continued to explain, "Several years ago, Donghuang Taiyi came to this Yunmengze and found me. I originally thought he was looking for me to return to the Yin-Yang School, but later I realized it was not so."

"It was because a master joined the Yin-Yang School, defeated him, and became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School. He actually became the loser, which surprised me greatly!"

Chu Chu Nangong narrated slowly.

Regarding the past between him and Donghuang Taiyi, Su Xuan knew a thing or two because he had read many records of the Yin-Yang School.

In the past, after Zou Yan died, Chu Chu Nangong was the most qualified person to become the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, until Donghuang Taiyi appeared out of nowhere and defeated him. His Dao heart was damaged because of this, and later, he left the Yin-Yang School.

Donghuang Taiyi became the new Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, and under his leadership, the Yin-Yang School grew stronger day by day.

Later, he even left the State of Yan and joined the Qin Guo.

And Chu Chu Nangong, since leaving, had had no news.

Regarding what Chu Chu Nangong said about Donghuang Taiyi asking him to return, Su Xuan was not surprised, because in the original story, Chu Chu Nangong did indeed return to the Yin-Yang School. Of course, for him, the current Sect Master, he had no intention of asking Chu Chu Nangong to return.

After Chu Chu Nangong finished speaking about the reason, he looked at Su Xuan and said, "I have always wanted to see you!"

Back then, Donghuang Taiyi appeared out of nowhere and defeated his arrogant self.

So when he learned that Donghuang Taiyi had also failed, he was very surprised and really wanted to see the person who defeated Donghuang Taiyi. Unfortunately, like previous Sect Masters of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan rarely walked outside, so there were very few people in the world who knew Su Xuan.

It was not until the Battle of Daliang, when Su Xuan personally took action, that he became famous throughout the world.

It was also after the Battle of Daliang that Chu Chu Nangong, living in seclusion in Yunmengze, first deeply realized Su Xuan's strength.

Later, the destruction of the Agricultural School made him marvel endlessly.

With the power of one person, destroying a school of the Hundred Schools of Thought—even if the inheritance of the Agricultural School still existed, its decline was a fact. Such a thing had never been done by any previous Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School.

But Su Xuan had done it.

Therefore, after Donghuang Taiyi issued a challenge to Su Xuan, inviting Su Xuan to Yunmengze to settle their grievances, he had been waiting silently.

He did not know when Su Xuan would arrive here, but as long as Donghuang Taiyi was still in Yunmengze, he only needed to wait silently.

Until this day, he sensed Yanfei's aura.

Why was it Yanfei's aura, and not Su Xuan's?

It was truly because Su Xuan's strength was too strong, so strong that even Chu Chu Nangong could not grasp Su Xuan's energy.

Like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no traces to follow!

"Now that you have seen me, what do you intend to do? Help Donghuang Taiyi consume my strength first?"

Su Xuan asked Chu Chu Nangong lightly.

Through Chu Chu Nangong's words, he roughly understood why Donghuang Taiyi chose to hide in Yunmengze. To be precise, it was not that Donghuang Taiyi wanted to hide in Yunmengze, but because Chu Chu Nangong lived in seclusion here.

Hearing this, Chu Chu Nangong frowned slightly and said, "Although I know that this is somewhat winning unfairly and is very unfair to you, before you and he fight, I really want to have a battle with you!"

Logically speaking, the person he most wanted to fight was actually Donghuang Taiyi, after all, Donghuang Taiyi had defeated him and caused him to miss the position of Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, but he had spent day and night with Donghuang Taiyi for these years, so he knew Donghuang Taiyi's strength too well.

Anyway, it was stronger than his.

Therefore, the person he most wanted to fight had instead become Su Xuan, the current Sect Master.

Hearing Chu Chu Nangong's words, Yanfei's eyes turned cold and sharp. She said to Su Xuan, "Master Xuantian, let me fight him!"

She was very confident in Su Xuan's strength.

But Chu Chu Nangong was, after all, a senior expert of the Yin-Yang School, and no one knew what trump cards he had. If Su Xuan fought him, he might really be consumed by Chu Chu Nangong.

This consumed portion of strength might become the key factor in deciding the battle.

"No need!"

Su Xuan spoke lightly, not caring at all about Chu Chu Nangong's challenge.

He looked at Chu Chu Nangong and said, "Whatever skills you have, just display them to your heart's content. I also really want to know, having pondered the Huang Shi Heavenly Book for many years, and even calling yourself 'Huang Shi,' what exactly have you comprehended!"

"Huang Shi Heavenly Book?"

Yanfei immediately looked at Chu Chu Nangong.

In the past, when Did Chi You was tyrannical, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden descended from the sky and granted the Yellow Emperor a scroll of the Heavenly Book, which allowed the Yellow Emperor to defeat Did Chi You. This scroll was the Huang Shi Heavenly Book. Later, it was said that Jiang Taigong also obtained this scroll, comprehended supreme military strategy from it, and thus helped King Wu of Zhou defeat the Shang, laying the foundation for the eight-hundred-year foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. Yanfei had heard of this Heavenly Book, but she did not expect that it had fallen into the hands of Chu Chu Nangong.

Chu Chu Nangong's eyes also tightened, and he immediately said, "After many years of pondering, I have indeed comprehended some things from it!"

This sentence of his was considered an admission that the Huang Shi Heavenly Book was in his hands!
