Chapter 28

The Great Ming Beggar Sect has long since declined into a sorry state.

Even the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*, their supreme divine art, is incomplete, seemingly with only a few stances left.

In today’s Great Ming Jianghu.

The Beggar Sect can no longer be ranked among the first-class sects.

It can only occupy a place among the many second-class sects by relying on the advantage of having disciples all over the Jianghu.

But this does not affect the power of the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* in the slightest!

Even whenever the Beggar Sect is mentioned, people will sigh.

If the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* hadn't been lost, the Beggar Sect could at least have maintained its status as a first-class sect.

This shows how significant the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* is.

Now Su Chen actually says.

The complete *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* is inside the Heaven-Reliant Sword.

This is nothing short of earth-shattering!

"Good heavens, the Heaven-Reliant Sword actually hides the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*, this peerless divine art?"

"The Beggar Sect’s supreme technique is hidden inside the Emei Sect’s supreme divine sword; this is getting interesting."

"Haha, I can already imagine the expressions of the Beggar Sect disciples when they find out about this."

"In that case, isn't the Emei Sect guarding a peerless divine art without knowing it?"

"The Emei Sect probably wants to curse; who would have thought that their own supreme Heaven-Reliant Sword actually hid the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*."

"The Emei Sect doesn't have a shortage of top-tier martial arts, but they really haven't reached the level of the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*."

"Do you think the Emei Sect will break the Heaven-Reliant Sword to get the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*?"

……

The Jianghu heroes were discussing it, most of them with the mentality of watching a show.

After all, the Dragon-Slaying Saber has been missing for twenty years.

And the Heaven-Reliant Sword is the Emei Sect’s supreme divine sword.

For ordinary people, daring to snatch it is just looking for death.

But even though everyone was discussing it, the focus was all on the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* technique.

There was very little discussion about the *Nine Yin Manual*.

Because most people had never heard of this technique at all.

"Old Bai, do you know which sect this *Nine Yin Manual* belongs to?"

Guo Guo Furong asked Bai Bai Zhantang next to her.

She had been eating melons for a long time, and hadn't heard anyone reveal the origin of the *Nine Yin Manual*.

Bai Bai Zhantang thought for a while and shook his head: "Never heard of it."

"But being able to be placed alongside the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms*, it is definitely extraordinary."

Bai Bai Zhantang added.

Guo Guo Furong rolled her eyes at him, "Do you need to tell me that?"

"Does anyone here know the origin of the *Nine Yin Manual*?"

After some discussion, someone finally couldn't help but ask out loud.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Being able to be ranked with the *Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms* shows that this technique is absolutely extraordinary.

Everyone was very curious.

"The *Nine Yin Manual*? I do know a thing or two."

Just then, a brisk voice came from the southwest corner.

Everyone looked toward the sound.

Someone said loudly: "Four eyebrows, could you be Lu Lu Xiaofeng?"

Lu Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows is famous.

Everyone looked closely and saw that this person indeed had four eyebrows.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng didn't hide it and said with a smile: "That’s right, I am the lovable Lu Lu Xiaofeng."

Then he pointed to his side and said: "This is the flower-blooming Hua Hua Manlou."

"Cough, cough..."

Hua Hua Manlou was startled and coughed several times.

He didn't have as thick a skin as Lu Lu Xiaofeng, so he quickly gestured to the surroundings, taking the opportunity to cover his old face.

"Could it be the young master of the wealthy Hua family in the capital?"

Someone recognized Hua Hua Manlou’s identity.

Everyone was amazed again after hearing this.

The wealth of the Hua family can no longer be described as simply 'rich'; it is simply wealthy enough to rival a nation.

People in the Jianghu don't care much about money.

But when it comes to the level of the Hua family, that’s another matter.

"Does Young Master Lu really know the origin of this *Nine Yin Manual*?"

Someone asked again.

The others also pricked up their ears. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====

Lu Lu Xiaofeng unfolded his folding fan, imitating Su Chen’s manner.

But he always felt that compared to Su Chen, he lacked a bit of grace and composure.

So he returned the folding fan to Hua Hua Manlou.

"I once went to the Great Song Jianghu, so I know a little about this *Nine Yin Manual*."

"Of course, it certainly can't compare to Mr. Su’s divine wisdom."

"Everyone, just listen to it for fun."

Lu Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Could this *Nine Yin Manual* be a technique from the Great Song Jianghu?"

A Fei asked curiously.

"I don't know if it’s a technique from the Great Song Jianghu."

"But I did indeed hear about this technique in the Great Song Jianghu."

"This technique is also known to everyone in the Great Song Jianghu."

Lu Lu Xiaofeng said, shaking his head.

Everyone showed surprise, not expecting that this technique really came from the Great Song Jianghu.

No wonder they had never heard of it.

"Things from the Great Song Jianghu don't circulate much in the Great Ming Jianghu."

"But I believe there is one thing that everyone must know."

"That is the Huashan Sword Debate twenty years ago."

Lu Lu Xiaofeng spoke eloquently.

The Jianghu heroes nodded one after another.

This matter is indeed widely circulated.

The Huashan here does not refer to the main peak of the Huashan Sect of the Five Mountain Sword Sects.

But Huashan located within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Five Mountain ranges are continuous and span several dynasties.

So the Great Ming has Huashan, and the Great Song also has Huashan.

The Huashan Sword Debate in the Great Song Dynasty back then was extremely grand.

One had to have at least the cultivation of the late Grandmaster realm to be qualified to participate in the sword debate.

And after several rounds of screening, those who remained were all experts of the Great Grandmaster realm.

By the end of the sword debate, only five people remained, collectively known as the Five Great Grandmasters. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
