Chapter 226

When he grew up, it happened to be the time when Xie Xiaofeng was at his zenith.

In the era when Yan Nantian dominated the world, he was just entering the Jianghu, and he too had once worshipped Yan Nantian with a heart full of passion.

Now that he knew Yan Nantian was alive, he felt greatly comforted.

The fourth private room in the South District.

Ximen Chuixue's eyes lit up. Yan Nantian was actually alive too?

This brought him infinite surprise.

As the current Sword God, his greatest wish was to cross swords with the first two generations of number one Sword Gods of the Great Ming.

Now, this long-cherished wish had a chance to be fulfilled.

"His mind is unclear, and his Sword Dao realm fluctuates."

"I never expected that Yan Nantian, once invincible with his divine sword, would fall to this state."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Could that Jiang Feng massacre really have been the work of the Flower-Moving Palace?"

Hua Manlou said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue both changed their expressions.

The Jade Gentleman Jiang Feng was a beautiful man known throughout the world, yet he was tragically massacred, and for twenty years, no one dared to investigate the case deeply.

The reason was that the primary suspect in this case was the Flower-Moving Palace—the Immortal Demon Yao Yue.

Even the World's Number One Divine Sword, Yan Nantian, couldn't get the better of Yao Yue, so naturally, others dared not investigate.

Thus, this massacre case that shocked the entire Jianghu was left unsettled.

It was unknown if Mr. Su's commentary today would bring up this old case.

Thinking of this, looks of anticipation appeared on their faces.

The sixth private room in the East District.

Lian Xing said: "Sister, Yan Nantian is indeed still alive."

"After all, he is a figure who could stand on equal footing with me; how could he die so easily?"

Yao Yue said indifferently, without the slightest hint of surprise.

Regarding that peak battle twenty years ago, no one knew better than she, the person involved.

At the time, rumors in the Jianghu were rampant, saying she had killed Yan Nantian, or that he had been critically wounded.

But the reality was that neither of them had used their full strength in that battle, nor was there a winner or loser; they had simply departed.

As for why Yan Nantian suddenly disappeared afterward, she knew nothing.

Listening to the bustling discussions in the hall below, Lian Xing couldn't help but snort coldly.

"These foolish Jianghu people."

"To this day, they still think Sister is the murderer who killed Jiang Feng's entire family."

"Do they even know that we have been investigating the truth of this case all these years?"

Lian Xing said with great dissatisfaction.

"Why bother with the idle gossip of the Jianghu?"

Yao Yue said coldly.

How could she not know about those rumors?

It was just that she didn't care at all.

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen listened quietly to the discussions, his heart blooming with joy.

As expected, news of Yan Nantian was very captivating.

After all, he was the number one Sword God of the generation preceding the Great Ming Jianghu.

Like Xie Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, he was the faith of a generation of swordsmen.

Watching his popularity points soar, Su Chen became even more motivated. He unfurled his folding fan and began to speak slowly:

"Yan Nantian is different from other swordsmen who specialize solely in Sword Dao; his martial talent is extremely high—he is an all-rounder."

"He was born with divine martial ability and peerless comprehension; he learns any martial art the moment he sees it, masters it immediately, and his martial path reaches the divine, not stopping at Sword Dao."

"He created the 'Southern Heaven Divine Fist' and the 'Divine Sword Resolution'; his fist and sword techniques are invincible, and twenty years ago, he already stood at the peak of the martial path."

"His sword art is even a step above his fist technique; his execution techniques are extraordinary, and his sword speed is like lightning—truly a unique feat in this world."

"When the 'Jiang Feng massacre' broke out, Yan Nantian, as Jiang Feng's closest friend, immediately went to investigate the truth."

"He ran into the Flower-Moving Palace Mistress, Yao Yue, at the crime scene. The two fought a great battle, neither winning nor losing, and each took one of Jiang Feng's orphans."

"Later, he tracked down the Twelve Zodiacs, but was deceived by them, told that the murderer was in the Jianghu forbidden land, the Villain's Valley."

"Yan Nantian, eager for revenge, immediately took the coffin containing the bodies of Jiang Feng and his wife, along with Jiang Feng's orphan, and headed straight for the Villain's Valley."

"But the facts of the case had nothing to do with the Villain's Valley; the Ten Great Villains were indeed made scapegoats."

"However, they were all treacherous people and didn't bother to explain; they simply joined forces to poison Yan Nantian using a cunning scheme."

"Yan Nantian's divine art was invincible, but to protect the bodies of Jiang Feng and his wife, as well as the orphan, he voluntarily allowed himself to be trapped by the villains and was subjected to continuous abuse by them."

"Twenty years of torture have destroyed most of Yan Nantian's meridians, leaving him half-mad and half-demonic, nearly a living corpse."

"But even so, with his strength, he could still be ranked on the Sword God List."

"It is only because his mind is unclear and his strength fluctuates too wildly to be accurately measured that he is treated as an exception."

So that was it!

The truth was actually like this!

Listening to Su Chen's commentary, everyone couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization.

So those Jianghu rumors were all wrong.

Yan Nantian's disappearance had nothing to do with the Flower-Moving Palace; he had been deceived by the Twelve Zodiacs.

He ended up trapped in the Villain's Valley, a place everyone in the Jianghu feared to mention.

For twenty years.

Yan Nantian had been trapped in the Villain's Valley, the place Jianghu people feared most.

Suffering inhuman torture every day, to the point of becoming half-mad and half-demented.

And this was not because he was unable to escape.

It was only to preserve the bodies of his best friend Jiang Feng and his wife, and to protect their orphan.

The World's Number One Hero—truly well-deserved!

For a time, the Jianghu heroes in the hall discussed it with incomparable excitement:

"So that's it! Yan Nantian had been trapped in the Villain's Valley all these years; this was truly unexpected."

"No wonder there was no sign of Hero Yan in the Jianghu. Those villains are truly damnable for treating Hero Yan like that."

"Yan Nantian, the peerless hero of benevolence and righteousness, truly lives up to his name, willing to sacrifice himself to such an extent for his best friend!"

"Jiang Feng can die in peace knowing he had such a friend in this life."

"I admire Hero Yan. If it were me, I absolutely could not do this for a friend."

"Hero Yan is so righteous; we shouldn't let him continue to suffer. Let's all go to the Villain's Valley and rescue Hero Yan."

"It is said that the Villain's Valley is located in a perilous place, surrounded by traps and hidden weapons. Even Hero Yan couldn't escape unscathed; how can we save him?"

"Hero Yan's strength is truly astonishing; even with all his meridians broken, he can still rival the Sword Gods on the Sword God List."

While admiring Yan Nantian's peerless chivalry.

Everyone also had various questions about the Jiang Feng massacre case that shocked the Jianghu twenty years ago.

Su Chen's commentary revealed many truths about the Jiang Feng massacre case from twenty years ago.

For instance, Jiang Feng left behind two orphans.

For instance, the Flower-Moving Palace Mistress Yao Yue had appeared at the crime scene.

Could this massacre case really have been the work of the Flower-Moving Palace? ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
