Chapter 331: The Tianshan Tong Lao and Master Lingmen Are Indeed Involved

"What! It's actually related to Empress Dowager Li?"

As Su Hang spoke, the onlookers from the Jianghu could hardly keep up.

Everyone simply could not believe that this matter ultimately involved Empress Dowager Li.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Su Hang explained:

"This story is long, but I shall elaborate a bit so that all of you may understand clearly."

"I am sure all of you know that the three disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect back then were each extraordinary."

"The eldest disciple, Wu Wu Yazi, and the second disciple, Li Li Qiushui, fought for years over the youngest disciple, Wu Wu Yazi; in the end, the two turned on each other and became enemies."

"This is no secret in the present day."

"What I wish to tell everyone today is that Li Li Qiushui became the Empress Dowager of Western Xia."

Having said this, Su Hang lifted the tea in front of him, took a light sip, and continued:

"Back then, after Wu Wu Yazi and Li Li Qiushui broke apart, one became the Tianshan Tong Lao, and the other became the Empress Dowager of Western Xia."

"The Tianshan Tong Lao commanded thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, with tens of thousands of followers under her banner."

"And Li Li Qiushui, as Empress Dowager of Western Xia, held absolute power for a time; she not only directly controlled the Western Xia army but also ordered the establishment of Western Xia's Yipintang."

"Since these two had already become enemies, they would not rest until the other was dead."

"And all of you surely know that the Wu Gong cultivated by the Tianshan Tong Lao, Wu Wu Yazi, is a technique named 'Eight Desolations, Six Directions, Only I Stand Supreme'."

"This Wu Gong is extremely powerful, but its flaw is also very obvious: every ten years, one must revert to youth."

"During the period of reverting to youth, the Wuzhe loses all their power, and their entire body turns into that of a child; only after this period passes will things improve."

"It can be said that since the Tianshan Tong Lao mastered the Eight Desolations, Six Directions, every time she reverted to youth, she passed through danger."

"But even so, when she reverted to youth for the third time, Li Li Qiushui still took advantage of the situation, interrupted her cultivation, causing the Tianshan Tong Lao to go mad from internal energy deviation; from then on, she remained in the form of someone who never grew up."

Hearing this, Duan Yu, standing nearby, raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms over his chest, and wore a puzzled expression.

Soon, before Su Hang could continue, Duan Yu asked softly:

"Mr. Su, this doesn't add up!"

"Logically, even if Li Li Qiushui intended to act, she should have done so during the Tianshan Tong Lao's first reversion to youth, because at that time the Tianshan Tong Lao would be twenty years younger and her power would be much weaker."

"Why not act then, but wait until the third time to act... Remember, by then the Tianshan Tong Lao was already on a completely different level!"

After hearing Duan Yu's question, not only Xiao Feng, but everyone else wore expressions of utter confusion.

You don't act when they are vulnerable, but wait until they are strong before striking?

Even if Li Li Qiushui's Wu Gong was high and mighty, she wouldn't do something like that, right?

Moreover, everyone knew in their hearts that the Eight Desolations, Six Directions, Only I Stand Supreme was fully inherited from the Lao Chang Chun Gong and was one of the strongest Wu Gong in the entire Xiaoyao Sect!

This Wu Gong, as long as one persists in cultivating it, will make the Wuzhe's strength grow ever stronger; its upper limit surpasses all Wu Gong of the Xiaoyao Sect.

It can be said that aside from being somewhat sinister, this Wu Gong is nothing but beneficial.

At this moment, hearing Duan Yu speak thus, Wang Wang Yuyan also nodded and said softly:

"Young Master Duan speaks truly!"

"Why not act early or late, but wait until the third time to act?"

"Would it not have been better to act during the Tianshan Tong Lao's first reversion to youth?"
