Chapter 79: Nie Feng Searches for True Love

Duan Fengyun drew the sharp sword at his side; on the sharp sword was written, "Yellow Emperor Sword."

Duan Fengyun mocked himself inwardly:

"The legend says the Dragon Vein is the spine of the Yellow Emperor. As a descendant of the Yan and Huang, perhaps that is why the Dragon Vein chose to fuse with me."

Duan Fengyun wrapped up the Yellow Emperor Sword; a sword that could remain in Lingyun Cave was certainly extraordinary.

He asked Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang:

"Father, Uncle, now that the Dragon Vein has become one with me, there is no need for you to stay in this Lingyun Cave any longer. Would you like to come out with me?"

Duan Fengyun thought that two more people meant two more helpers, intending for Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang to go out and act as his muscle.

Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang agreed without a second thought.

Just as Duan Fengyun said, they had previously stayed in Lingyun Cave to guard the Dragon Vein; now that the Dragon Vein had been taken by Duan Fengyun, they had no reason to remain in Lingyun Cave.

Following by Duan Fengyun's side was also a way of guarding the Dragon Vein, and the two of them were prepared to re-enter the pugilistic world.

After bidding farewell to the Fire Qilin, a fully rewarded Duan Fengyun took Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang and left Lingyun Cave.

As for Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, after several days of guidance from Wuming, both of them understood the profound meaning of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

Through the profound meaning of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin and combining it with his own fate of "Clouds Without Constancy," Bu Jingyun realized the Ten Cloud Swords.

Nie Feng combined it with his own fate of "Wind Without Form" and realized the Wind Blade.

The two of them had now taken a great step forward in their martial arts, officially entering the ranks of top-tier experts.

Now it was time to go find Duan Fengyun and the others; Nie Feng took the map given to him by Di Er Meng and led Bu Jingyun and Wuming toward Duanqing Ju.

When the three of them arrived at Duanqing Ju according to the map, they discovered two people were missing.

After some conversation, Nie Feng learned that Di Er Meng had been taken away by her father, and that Duan Fengyun had gone off to search for the two of them.

Just as Nie Feng was holding his blade and preparing to go out to find Di Er Meng, Duan Fengyun's voice came through.

"Brother Feng, you are rushing out in such a panic to find your lover; don't you want to see who I have brought back?"

Hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Nie Feng was completely bewildered; who in the world could be more important than finding Di Er Meng?

Duan Fengyun led Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai into Duanqing Ju.

Seeing Nie Renwang behind Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng's hand holding the Snow Drink Blade trembled continuously, to the point where he no longer had the strength to hold the blade.

Bu Jingyun and the others asked in confusion:

"Junior Brother Duan, who is behind you? Junior Brother Feng, why are you so distraught?"

Without waiting for Duan Fengyun to introduce them, Nie Feng walked directly in front of Nie Renwang and knelt down.

Nie Feng shouted:

"Father!"

Although more than a decade had passed, Nie Feng recognized Nie Renwang at a single glance.

Looking at Nie Feng kneeling before him, Nie Renwang's eyes turned red, and he tremblingly helped Nie Feng up with both hands, saying:

"Feng'er, it is Father, it is Father. Father has failed you all these years, letting you suffer."

Nie Feng hugged Nie Renwang and asked:

"Father, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you come to find your child?"

Nie Renwang glanced at Duan Fengyun, and Duan Fengyun stepped forward as if he understood the cue and said:

"Brother Feng, let me explain this to you.

This is my father—Duan Shuai."

Duan Fengyun pointed to the man next to Nie Renwang.

Bu Jingyun and the others looked; indeed, the two men had similar features.

Then Duan Fengyun continued:

"I went to search for you all, thinking you would go to Lingyun Cave to hide, but I did not find you in Lingyun Cave.

Then, deep inside Lingyun Cave, I encountered my father and Uncle. It turns out that after they were taken by the Fire Qilin back then, the Fire Qilin did not kill them, but kept them to keep it company.

This time when I went to Lingyun Cave, the three of us—my father, Uncle, and I—subdued the Fire Qilin, and that is how I brought my father and Uncle out."

Nie Renwang looked at Duan Fengyun and cast an appreciative glance.

This old Duan's son was truly seamless when it came to bragging.

Nie Feng, believing it to be true, did not continue to ask further.

Duan Fengyun introduced Bu Jingyun and the others to Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang.

Finally, when he introduced Wuming, Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang both bowed and offered their respects.

The pugilistic world was like this; the strong were respected, and given Wuming's status and position, Duan Shuai and the other man certainly had to be respectful.

After Duan Fengyun finished the introductions, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng also mysteriously said:

"We have some happy news to tell everyone."

Duan Fengyun guessed what it was, but he pretended not to know and said:

"Since when did you two start liking to keep people in suspense? Speak up, what is it?"

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun laughed:

"Senior Wuming has accepted us as his disciples."

Sure enough, Duan Fengyun's prediction was correct; Wuming had indeed accepted the two of them as disciples.

However, he did not take it to heart; now that the Dragon Vein was in his hands, he no longer had any concerns about practicing the Demonic Blade.

He and Qin Shuang and the others happily congratulated them:

"Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to both senior brothers, and congratulations to Senior Wuming."

Amidst the laughter and joy of the group, Jian Chen, however, wore a look of disappointment.

He thought that because so many things had happened, Wuming had already given up on him.

Therefore, he must have taken Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng as disciples and taught them the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

At this moment, the two pregnant women, Chuchu and Youruo, who had gone out to see a doctor, walked in; there was another person standing behind them, but because the two were blocking the view, their appearance could not be seen.

Duan Fengyun did not want to play games with the two, so he stepped forward and pulled Youruo over.

The person behind the two finally revealed their true face.

"Kong Ci? Mu Xuanqing?"

Bu Jingyun muttered.

The person behind the two looked exactly like Kong Ci and Mu Xuanqing.

The woman stepped out and said:

"I am not Kong Ci, nor am I the Mu Xuanqing you speak of. My name is Ding Ning, and I am Kong Ci's twin sister."

"Impossible, we have been in the World Society for so many years, and we have never heard that Kong Ci had a sister?"

Qin Shuang stepped out and said.

Ding Ning said: "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Kong Ci and I were taken in by Xiongba when we were young, but I was always trained by Xiongba as an assassin, so you didn't know."

Ding Ning's answer caught Duan Fengyun a bit off guard; he had initially thought Ding Ning was here to be a spy among them, but she had exposed her own identity just like that.

Ding Ning continued: "When Kong Ci died, Xiongba always told me that you were the ones who killed her.

So I have been silently practicing martial arts in the World Society, so that one day I could avenge Kong Ci.

It wasn't until Jue Wushen occupied the World Society that I coerced Wen Chouchou, and Wen Chouchou told me the truth, so I came to you to verify the facts.

I was bumped into by Youruo at the market, and she called me Kong Ci. I had seen her in the World Society before, so I recognized at a glance that she was Xiongba's daughter, Youruo.

From her, I also confirmed the truth of the matter; all of this was caused by Xiongba and has nothing to do with you."

Duan Fengyun had an "I see" expression; Wen Chouchou had indeed not let him down regarding the care he had shown him during his time as sect leader.

After the truth came to light, Duan Fengyun and the others welcomed Ding Ning's arrival; their group was growing stronger and stronger.

Duan Fengyun also introduced Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang to Youruo and Chuchu.

Upon hearing that his son had not only taken a wife but was now going to be a grandfather, Duan Shuai was overjoyed.

Duan Shuai's eyes widened as he stared at Duan Fengyun and said:

"You brat, you didn't even tell me about Youruo and my grandson; now I haven't even prepared a gift."

Duan Fengyun scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"There were too many things going on, I forgot."

Duan Shuai then turned his gaze to Nie Renwang and said:

"Old Nie, look at how successful my son is; I'm going to be a grandfather."

When the two were in Lingyun Cave, Duan Shuai would lose to Nie Renwang every time they sparred and would often be mocked by him. Today, he had finally found an opportunity to get his own back.

Nie Renwang sighed helplessly; this was not something he could decide, so he had to concede.

The conversation between the two old urchins made everyone burst into laughter.

However, Nie Feng was heavy-hearted; he was very worried about Di Er Meng.

Although a tiger does not eat its cubs, judging by Zhu Huang's tone, Di Er Meng's father, Daohuang, was not a kind person.

Duan Fengyun saw Nie Feng's concern and said to Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun:

"Two senior brothers, now that Brother Feng is suffering from lovesickness, why don't we all go and meet Brother Feng's future father-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Huang advised:

"You boys don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. My brother's Seven Severing Emotions Arts are also quite famous in the pugilistic world."

Duan Fengyun patted Zhu Huang on the shoulder and said:

"Senior, you must have confidence in us. Now that the two senior brothers Feng and Yun have received the true teachings of Senior Wuming, if you don't have confidence in us, you should at least have confidence in Senior Wuming."

Zhu Huang thought about it and felt that this made sense.

After Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun chatted briefly with Youruo and Chuchu, they settled Nie Renwang, Duan Shuai, and Ding Ning.

The four junior brothers, led by Zhu Huang, embarked on the road to help Nie Feng find his true love.

Having been friends for so many years, Zhu Huang knew exactly where Daohuang's dens were, and soon they arrived at their residence.

Di Er Meng, who was washing vegetables outside the house, was deeply moved to see Nie Feng and the others arrive.

Seeing her daughter's unusual expression, Daohuang went out to take a look, saw Zhu Huang and the people behind him, and said angrily:

"I haven't gone to find you yet, and now you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep."

Daohuang rushed into the house aggressively, took out his Fame-Contending Blade, and flew out.

After Nie Feng confirmed the identity of the person with Zhu Huang, he cupped his hands and said:

"Junior Nie Feng, I am in love with Miss Di Er Meng, and I hope Senior will grant us your blessing."

Daohuang shouted:

"Brat, my daughter is the one who will continue my martial arts. My martial arts require severing emotions and rejecting love; don't even think about blocking my daughter's future."

Daohuang attacked Nie Feng with his blade, while Nie Feng used his scabbard to defend himself without counterattacking.

Daohuang became even more furious; this brat didn't even draw his blade, which was clearly looking down on him.

Daohuang's blade techniques became increasingly fierce and tricky. Seeing that he could not avoid fighting today, Nie Feng drew his Snow Drink Blade and began a great battle with Daohuang.

The current Nie Feng was not the Nie Feng of the past; having learned the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, he was now able to control his power with ease.

The Wind Blade attacks were fierce and precise, and combined with the freezing effect of the Snow Drink Blade, Daohuang was frozen for a moment.

Seeing this, Nie Feng put away the Snow Drink Blade. Daohuang walked out of the ice, and Nie Feng cupped his hands and said:

"Senior, please forgive me!"

"Hmph, don't think that just because you beat me, you can marry my daughter; you are dreaming."

Daohuang pulled Di Er Meng and returned to the house.

Daohuang patted Nie Feng on the shoulder and said:

"My old brother's personality is just like this; do not take it too much to heart."

Nie Feng nodded; he knew that this matter could not be accomplished in a single day.
