Chapter 51: Falling Rain Blade Technique! Hei Bei Lao Liu's true identity!

The jianghu atmosphere Zhang Lin created had completely captivated the audience's minds.

Especially when they heard him say that what he was telling were things even the Laojiu Sect didn't know.

The crowd became even more excited; didn't this mean this was the first public reveal of Hei Bei Lao Liu's life?

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng looked at Zhang Qishan with curiosity.

"Adjutant Zhang, you have met Hei Bei Lao Liu; don't you know about his time in the Northwest?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head. "The Shangsan Sect has always stayed out of jianghu affairs; I haven't met this Hei Bei Lao Liu many times."

"Besides, those years were turbulent; if he was the number one blade master of a Northwest society, why would he run to Old Changsha?"

"I suspect he must have committed a crime in the Northwest and was no longer tolerated by his society!"

"Hei Bei Lao Liu would certainly never tell anyone about such a past."

Yin Nanfeng nodded; from Zhang Qishan's words, she didn't feel Hei Bei Lao Liu was anything unique.

At this moment, Zhang Lin continued: "Hei Bei Lao Liu was very unpopular in Old Changsha."

"Because his demeanor was entirely that of a Northwest man: silent, taciturn, and not communicating with anyone."

"He raided tombs just to make money, always alone, never taking disciples."

"People on the road said Hei Bei Lao Liu had paranoid delusions, thinking that if anyone else was around while raiding a tomb, they would surely stab him in the back."

"Actually, those people were right; this is the discipline of a top-tier blade master."

"Never trust anyone, and never leave your back exposed to an enemy."

"Only by adhering to this principle could Hei Bei Lao Liu survive the brutal Northwest blade master societies."

"Although he was cautious when raiding tombs, there was one thing people on the road couldn't understand."

"That is, Hei Bei Lao Liu, who had always been a lone wolf, had a soft spot for an old prostitute in Old Changsha."

"When the old prostitute was sold off back then, Hei Bei Lao Liu went alone to the meeting and snatched her out."

"This is also the origin of his title, 'Prodigal'!"

Hearing this, while the crowd understood why he was called the Prodigal, they also felt a vague sense of discomfort.

Because in most people's minds, 'Prodigal' corresponds to a handsome man.

And what relates to a prodigal should be a jianghu beauty, not an old prostitute!

Such a combination made people feel very uncomfortable!

This is probably why humans are born liking to fantasize about beautiful things.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a bit awkward, Zhang Lin smiled inwardly.

Hei Bei Lao Liu at this time was indeed hard to understand.

But if this group knew about his time in the Northwest,

and then looked back at this story of the Prodigal and the old prostitute, they would have different feelings!

……

"Hei Bei Lao Liu seemed to be a man with many painful pasts."

"So he often smoked opium; after smoking, he would enter a state of madness."

"He would practice his blade every midnight until he was exhausted."

"During the day, he would shrink into a corner, looking truly like a madman."

"At such times, only his blade and that old prostitute accompanied him."

"It seemed they were simply in need of each other; as for anything else, it was impossible to guess."

"Everyone knew Hei Bei Lao Liu's blade was fast, but they didn't know his blade technique had a specific name: Falling Rain!"

"The Falling Rain Blade Technique can split a tiny raindrop in two with a single strike!"

Just then, hearing the 'Falling Rain Blade Technique,' Zhang Qishan's expression suddenly changed.

He muttered: "Falling Rain Blade Technique... no way..."

"Hei Bei Lao Liu, could it be him?"

Yin Nanfeng asked curiously from the side: "Adjutant Zhang, what did you think of? You're so excited."

After a long while, Zhang Qishan said: "You don't know, but in those years, only one person mastered the Falling Rain Blade Technique."

"That was the number one blade master of the Northwest Gelao Society, named Li Tiansong."

Li Tiansong?

This name was very unfamiliar to Yin Nanfeng.

Zhang Qishan continued: "Li Tiansong was an abandoned baby, picked up by a hall master of the Gelao Society on the riverbank."

"This hall master felt it was a child sent by heaven, and since the hall master's surname was Li, he named him Li Tiansong."

"At that time, the Xia Kingdom was divided by warlords, and gangs were everywhere."

"Even in such a situation, Li Tiansong's name was known to many precisely because he had mastered the Falling Rain Blade Technique."

Yin Nanfeng was also drawn in by Zhang Qishan's words and couldn't help but ask: "Since that's the case, Li Tiansong had such high talent and was the hall master's adopted son; logically, he would have continued working in the Gelao Society." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
