Chapter 75

Su Hang shook his head and slowly spat out three words:

"Hero Island."

"Hero Island?"

At this moment, hearing Su Hang's words, the crowd watching was shocked!

To speak of this Hero Island, it could definitely be counted as one of the most mysterious places in the comprehensive martial arts Jianghu!

Rumor has it that it was originally an isolated island located in the South China Sea, about four or five days' voyage from land.

Even if it were a top expert, without guidance, they would never reach Hero Island.

The most terrifying thing was that every ten years, Hero Island would send people to the Central Plains.

In the name of [drinking Laba porridge], they would invite the heroes of the Central Plains to the island.

If they were unwilling, the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil on the ship would fight, beating the person half to death.

These two had extremely high Wu Gong, and even if all the experts from the Central Plains joined forces, they were no match at all!

In this way, as long as the Hero Island ship arrived, you had to go whether you wanted to or not.

At first, the sects of the Central Plains didn't care,

but after repeating this several times, everyone discovered that the people who went to Hero Island to drink Laba porridge never returned!

Neither alive nor dead.

Those Central Plains experts who boarded Hero Island all seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Everyone couldn't get any news, couldn't find any traces!

Later on, various rumors emerged in the Jianghu, saying that people from the Demonic Cult lived on Hero Island, specifically feeding on Central Plains experts.

In this way, no one dared to go to Hero Island anymore.

Since then, every time Hero Island sent a ship to the Central Plains, the Central Plains Wu Lin was always in a state of panic.

Faking illness, faking death, becoming a monk...

In short, in order to avoid going to Hero Island, the experts of the Central Plains tried every possible method.

Now, in this Half-Moon Inn, Mr. Su mentioned Hero Island again; how could people not be worried?

Wang Wang Yuyan, hearing this, was also worried:

"Rumor has it that Hero Island is a forbidden place."

"And the Wu Gong of the two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil is surprisingly high!"

"Could it be that this young man eventually went to Hero Island and took the two envoys as his masters?"

Meanwhile.

Xie Xie Yanke, thinking of this, was also puzzled.

He paused and asked Su Hang directly:

"Mr. Su, what do you mean by Hero Island?"

"Could it be that this guy's future peak Wu Gong has something to do with this Hero Island?"

Su Hang said:

"Naturally, it has something to do with it."

"Actually, all the rumors about Hero Island are just people repeating what others say."

"Although for decades, Hero Island has only been inviting experts from the Jianghu to the island."

"As for those sects and gangs destroyed by Hero Island in the Jianghu, which one wasn't a villain who committed heinous crimes and was intolerable to heaven?"

"Although I dare not say they were acting on behalf of heaven, every single case was extremely clear!"

Su Hang said this, and everyone reacted.

Although Hero Island occasionally destroyed a sect or killed someone over the years,

if you think carefully, those destroyed sects and killed people were almost all Jianghu scum, either full of evil deeds or morally corrupt.

It was just that ordinary righteous people didn't want to get into trouble, so they tolerated it!

Instead, it was Hero Island that later took action and destroyed these villains!

Thinking of this, Xie Xie Yanke couldn't help but be curious and continued to ask:

"Since we have been misunderstanding Hero Island,"

"why haven't any of the experts who went to the island returned all these years?"

"Could it be that the Laba porridge on the island is so good that you can't help but drink it?"

This was not just Xie Xie Yanke's question, but also the biggest mystery in the Jianghu for so many years!

Generally speaking, even if one became a monk or nun, as long as one's parents, wife, and children were still there, one would never not return to take a look.

And the number of Central Plains experts invited to Hero Island over the years was at least eight hundred!

But so many people went, and not a single one returned!

Could it be that the Laba porridge on Hero Island was really that good?

So good that so many Central Plains experts didn't even want to return home?

Su Hang, hearing this, continued:

"The reason, it's not complicated!"

"It's because there are twenty-four divine arts hidden on Hero Island!"

"These divine arts are all-encompassing, all-inclusive, and are all hidden in a poem called [Ode to Gallantry]."

"The poem has twenty-four lines, corresponding to twenty-four divine arts."

"For example, the fifth line [Kill one person in ten steps] and the tenth line [Sword lying across the knees] and the seventeenth line [Save Zhao and swing the golden hammer], each line is a profound sword technique."

"The sixth line [Travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace] and the seventh line [Brush off clothes after the matter is done] and the eighth line [Deeply hide body and name], each line is a set of light-body techniques;"

"And the ninth line [Leisurely pass through Xinling to drink] and the fourteenth line [Five mountains are light] and the sixteenth line [Even if dead, the heroic spirit is fragrant], each is a set of fist techniques."

"All these, too numerous to mention,"

"it can be said that these twenty-four lines already contain all the Wu Gong in the world—swords, sabers, fists, feet, internal energy, and Hong Qigong are all included!"

"As long as you master any one of these divine arts, the martial artist's realm can instantly rank among the Grandmasters!"

"If you can master two or more of these divine arts, you are a rare peerless expert in this world!"

Saying this, Su Hang paused and continued:

"The Central Plains experts on Hero Island have been studying these divine arts all these years!"

"It's not that these experts don't want to return, but these divine arts are too fascinating!"

"Some master one and want to master the second; after mastering the second, they always think about the third... In this way, ten years after ten years, these experts have long forgotten the years outside! They focus on the divine arts on Hero Island, ignoring worldly affairs, and many don't even care about their former wives and children!"

"Even more, there are many who haven't mastered a single divine art all these years, but even so, these experts still choose to stay on Hero Island and refuse to return!"

"And what they are truly worried about is that as long as they leave Hero Island, they will never have a chance to return!"

"Therefore, after so many years, not a single person has left Hero Island."

Su Hang said this, and everyone suddenly realized!

If this was the case, then everything made sense!

After all, as long as you have a normal brain, who would give up twenty-four divine arts in front of you?

You must know that in the Jianghu, learning one more divine art means one more skill.

In the future, walking in the Jianghu, founding a sect, wealth and glory—wouldn't that be easy?

Let alone twenty-four divine arts,

just one Bixie Sword Technique could lead to a Jianghu war, rivers of blood, and countless deaths.

Therefore, you can't blame these Central Plains experts for being heartless; it's just that the divine arts in front of them are too fascinating!

And hearing this,

Xie Xie Yanke was still puzzled:

"Even if there are twenty-four divine arts on Hero Island, what does that have to do with this guy?"

"You must know that this guy doesn't know a single character; how can he practice Wu Gong!"

"If Mr. Su says this guy mastered the divine arts on Hero Island, I, Xie Xie Yanke, don't believe it!"

Xie Xie Yanke said this, and everyone agreed.

After all, Dog-Hybrid's growth environment was so bad; let alone family inheritance or sect legacy.

He didn't even know a single character!
