Chapter 914

The sixth private room in the West District.

Prince Fusu also revealed a look of shock and whispered, "The Xuanhua Firm, the Great Master—I never imagined that all of Dongying was secretly controlled by this Xiao family Martial Saint."

"Is the strength of this Martial Saint expert not a bit too astonishing?"

"Even that Hayato Tenin, at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, had not the slightest power to resist."

Zhang Han said in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"Between a Quasi-Saint and a Martial Saint, there is indeed an insurmountable chasm."

"But the gap should not be this massive."

"Unless this Great Master is no ordinary Martial Saint."

Ying Zheng said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

As the Emperor of the Great Qin, he never took any Jianghu experts seriously.

But the strength of this Great Master made him have to treat the matter with caution.

Gai Nie said, "Your Majesty is right. Judging from Mr. Su's commentary, I fear this Great Master belongs to the group of Martial Saint experts with superior combat power."

Upon hearing these words, both Prince Fusu and Zhang Han revealed looks of surprise, but soon nodded in agreement.

The Great Master comes from the Xiao family, the head of the Four Great Divine Beast Families, and practices Quasi-Emperor supreme arts.

Such a martial heritage is not something an ordinary Martial Saint can compare to.

Even judging from the Great Master's various actions, he seems completely unconcerned about Hayato Tenin breaking through to the Martial Saint realm to seek revenge.

There is only one explanation for this: the Great Master's strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Martial Saint.

Even if Hayato Tenin were to break through to the Martial Saint realm, he would pose no threat to him.

Thinking this, everyone could not help but gaze intently at the white jade platform, looking forward to the subsequent commentary.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen shook his folding fan lightly and, without intentionally keeping them in suspense, said directly:

"Next, let us continue our commentary on this Hayato Tenin."

"Su Mou previously mentioned that Hayato Tenin's path of cultivation was not smooth sailing, but rather full of setbacks."

"At the age of nine, he became a disciple of the Great Master, and his younger brother, Shinobi, became a disciple alongside him."

"Hayato Tenin's martial talent was extremely high; by the age of twenty, he had laid a profound martial foundation and was proficient in literature, strategy, medicine, divination, astrology, and the Qi Men Dun Jia."

"As the person with the strongest fortune in Dongying in three hundred years, Hayato Tenin possessed the perfect personality for a hegemon: confident, tyrannical, cruel, and skilled in calculation."

"He built the Hidden Sword Stream from scratch, and every step of its growth was carefully planned; he never fought a battle he was not prepared for."

"This is the reason why the Hidden Sword Stream is extremely powerful, yet unknown to anyone in the Dongying Jianghu."

"When he learned that Jue Wushen had been defeated by the Great Han Jianghu's martial myth, Wuming, he immediately sent several trusted subordinates to the Great Han Jianghu to probe the reality of the Central Plains martial arts world."

"Because from a young age, he had been taught by the Great Master to have grand ambitions, not satisfied with just dominating Dongying, but aiming for the entire Shenzhou land."

"But since ancient times, heroes have struggled to pass the beauty barrier, and Hayato Tenin was no exception."

"Just as his hegemony and martial arts were advancing rapidly, he met the love of his life, Sawako."

"Although this Sawako came from a commoner background, with a status vastly different from his, Hayato Tenin did not care at all."

"The two soon married and had a son, and this period was the happiest time of Hayato Tenin's life."

"But the ancients said: the bed of tenderness is the hero's grave. This saying is not false."

"After Hayato Tenin and Sawako married, not only did he slack off in his martial cultivation, but the development of the Hidden Sword Stream also came to a complete standstill."

"The Great Master appeared calm and indifferent, but in reality, he had been monitoring Hayato Tenin all along and was very dissatisfied with this situation."

"Thus, the Great Master did not hesitate to order people to brutally kill Sawako, dismember her body, and send it to Hayato Tenin as a warning."

"At the same time, the Great Master sent people to kidnap Hayato Tenin's son as a hostage, using this to threaten him into obedience."

"Forced into a corner, Hayato Tenin had no choice but to devote himself entirely to martial cultivation and strengthening the Hidden Sword Stream, in order to preserve his beloved son's life."

As Su Chen's voice fell, a commotion erupted in the hall.

This commentary completely overturned everyone's imagination.

Originally, when they heard that Hayato Tenin was burdened with the divine mandate of Amaterasu, they thought he would surely advance rapidly and have smooth sailing.

Even if he encountered setbacks, he would be like Yan Fei, the son of fortune in the Central Plains, turning misfortune into a blessing and successfully crossing the tribulation.

But they never expected that Hayato Tenin's fate would be so miserable.

The love of his life was brutally murdered and dismembered by the Great Master, and her body was sent to him.

His only son was also kidnapped and held hostage, and he himself could only become a puppet who followed orders.

Where is there any sign of a son of fortune here?

Previously, many people felt that Hayato Tenin was lucky to be able to become a disciple of the Great Master and receive the Quasi-Emperor supreme art, "Wan Dao Sen Luo."

Now it seems that this Great Master is simply a massive pit.

He had no master-disciple affection for Hayato Tenin at all, just pure exploitation.

It could even be said that being targeted by the Great Master was Hayato Tenin's worst luck in eight lifetimes.
