The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 152 White-browed Eagle King: This boy is terrifying.
A wide area was cleared in a dense forest about ten miles away from Butterfly Valley.

A few simple and crude wooden houses stood in a corner.

In the sky, the sun had just passed noon. Xu Xingchen stood under a big tree, instructing Xiao Wuji in practicing martial arts.

On Xiao Wuji's body, two auras rose and fell, fighting against each other. Although they were both white, one was as hot as fire, and the other was as cold as ice.

Fire and ice don't mix.
Beads of sweat oozed out of Xiao Wuji's forehead, face, and body, sometimes turning into white frost and sometimes melting into water. His clothes were soaked through in such drastic changes.

After half a year of practice, the Nine Yang True Qi in his body had accumulated to a certain level, and he began to consciously eliminate the cold poison in his body.

Although the cold poison has no independent consciousness, it has gradually become deeply rooted in Wuji's body over the past two years. It will take more than a day or two to completely eradicate it.

According to Xu Xingchen's estimate, Xiao Wuji will need another half a year to fully recover.

Such a result made Zhang Cuishan and the other two overjoyed.

They were all people who had been in the martial arts world for many years, and they had already guessed that the skills Xu Xingchen taught their children were definitely not simple, otherwise, they would not be able to remove the cold poison in Wuji's body and cure Wuji's pain.

When the cold poison in Wuji's body is gone and his body recovers, he will also gain a strong internal strength. If he continues to practice martial arts diligently in the future, his future achievements will surely be limitless.

Such a great kindness that was like a rebirth made them very grateful to Xu Xingchen. At one point, they wanted Wuji to become Xu Xingchen's disciple, but Xu Xingchen refused.

Xu Xingchen has his own concerns!
Under the tree
Xu Xingchen, who was always paying attention to the changes in Xiao Wuji's aura, felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw two figures walking towards him at the end of the newly opened path.

The person walking in front was none other than Yin Susu, who had gone out half a month ago.

The person following behind was dressed in a black robe. He was tall and sturdy, with hard cheek lines, a nose like an eagle, eyes like lightning, and especially a pair of white eyebrows, which were as sharp as swords and flew diagonally into his temples, which was very impressive.
With this image, you can tell at first glance that he is a strong man with a strong personality who will never admit defeat.

Xu Xingchen looked at the man's distinct white eyebrows and half-gray and half-black hair, and guessed in his heart: "Could this man be my sister-in-law's biological father, the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng?! He is indeed extraordinary!"

As if sensing his gaze, Yin Tianzheng tilted his head to look, and a gleam of light condensed into a dot in his pupil, as if it were real, like the eyes of an eagle, emitting cold light whizzing outwards.

Those who are less courageous don't even dare to look him in the eye!
Xu Xingchen nodded to the other party as a greeting, then retracted his gaze and continued to focus on Xiao Wuji.

Yin Tianzheng's gaze shifted and he also saw the small figure sitting on the ground. Ling Lie's eyes softened a little and he asked, "Susu, that child over there is my grandson Zhang Wuji, right?"

"Yes, he is Wuji." Yin Susu said with a wry smile: "Since returning to the Middle Earth, he has suffered a lot, but he has never been able to let his father see him."

Yin Tianzheng waved his arm and said, "No need to be sad, I have seen it now!"

Then he asked, "Is the young man standing next to Wuji the one recommended by Brother Xie?"

Yin Susu said: "Yes, Brother Xu is not only a martial arts expert, but also has a great favor to us."

"Dad, if you really want to drive out the Yuan Mongols and restore our Central Plains, you might as well consider the Great Lion King's idea."

"If not, there is no need to agree reluctantly just because Brother Xu has done us a favor."

Yin Tianzheng said: "You don't need to say anything about this matter, Dad will discuss it with Brother Xie!"

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu had taken time to return to the Tianying Sect several times to meet their father-in-law and brother-in-law. However, they were not there at this moment, but had gone out on business.

The two men walked to the wooden house, and Xie Xun came out after hearing the noise.

The two great masters of the Ming Cult had not met for many years. When they met now, there was no hug of brotherly love, nor any tears in the eyes of Zhang Cuishan and Yu Lianzhou when they met. However, their greetings were unique.

"Lion King, I haven't seen you for many years. I'm really disappointed that you're not dead yet!"

"Eagle King, you are alive and well, how can I lose my life so easily? Wouldn't the world laugh at me, the Four Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult, for having only a false reputation?!"

"Humph, there are no four Dharma Kings nowadays. Not to mention you and me, the whereabouts of the Purple-Robed Dragon King is unknown, and the Green-Winged Bat King is elusive. Our four Dharma Kings have long been in name only."

"There's no need to talk about the past. Now that we've met, let's not say anything. Let's go and have a drink first. I specially asked my fifth brother to go out and prepare some good wine and food!"

Xie Xun invited Yin Tianzheng into his room, sat him down at the table, and talked about the past while drinking and eating.

The two talked about what happened at Kunlun Guangmingding in the past, and how they were separated later. They couldn't help but sigh and lament.
When talking about what happened in Wangpan Mountain more than ten years ago, the situation immediately became intense, and it was almost like a fight.
Speaking of Xie Xun being shot blind by his own daughter, Yin Tianzheng laughed.
Talking about Hu Qingniu's successful eye replacement for Xie Xun, people were amazed.

During the period, it is inevitable to mention the young man Xu Xingchen, his experience on the Ice and Fire Island, and the various situations and strategies when he returned, how to preserve the face and reputation of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, and how to make Xie Xun, a heinous man, fake his death and escape.
In the fragmented narration, Xie Xun did not mention Xu Xingchen very often, and he did not say a word of praise to the young man. But it was enough for Yin Tianzheng to draw a vivid image of a man with great martial arts skills, who was humble and polite to his own people, and who was resourceful.

After drinking a lot of wine, Yin Tianzheng wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "Lion King, no matter how much you say and praise that young man to the sky, I will never agree to your request."

"The position of the leader of the Ming Cult is so important. The two of us have important positions in the Cult. If we really jointly nominate that young man to be the leader, many people will not accept it. It is possible that the Ming Cult will be split."

Xie Xun sneered, "If you don't obey, then don't obey. If you split, then split. The Ming Cult now seems to have a large number of people and is the world's largest anti-Yuan force."

"In fact, aren't they still in their own groups, following orders but not instructions?"

"If you don't agree, I won't force you. At worst, I can stand up and set up a Lion King Cult or something."

"You, the Eagle King, were able to found the Sky Eagle Cult, so how can I, the Lion King, be inferior to you?!"

Yin Tianzheng laughed and said, "Lion King, if it was in the past, I would naturally believe what you said; but now, you are a dead man, how can you still appear in front of others? Do you dare to appear in front of others again?"

The Eagle King's two consecutive rhetorical questions were very insightful and exposed the embarrassment of Xie Xun's current identity.

If he dared to appear in the martial arts world again, even if there were fewer martial artists who coveted half of the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, there would still be many sects and gangs that would seek revenge on him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xun's face was calm, and he said calmly: "I don't need to show up in person, I just need to let that kid pretend to be my nephew or nephew, and use my name as the Lion King to create a force."

"And I will declare to the world that I will not cause trouble to those who have surrounded and killed my people."

"By then, his resistance will surely be greatly reduced, and I will hide in the dark and tell him about my deeds with the Ming Cult."

"Eagle King, tell me, who can see through his disguise?!"

Yin Tianzheng looked at the person in front of him in surprise. After a while, he said, "Back then at Guangmingding, the leader once said that among the four of us, your wisdom is the most outstanding."

"For so many years, I have never accepted it and have always believed that the leader was wrong."

".Now it seems that I was a bit arbitrary!"

Then, he asked curiously, "Lion King, you are so deliberate in wanting to push that young man to the top, is it really just to repay his kindness?"

Xie Xun said bluntly: "Repaying a favor is one thing, but the most important thing is that I think that guy has enough ability to drive out the Tartars, unify the world, and accomplish what neither you nor I have been able to do."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then said slowly in a serious tone: "At the same time, I will also use him as a hook to catch a cunning and treacherous fish."

Yin Tianzheng suddenly realized that the fish that Xie Xun was talking about was his master, Cheng Kun, the Master of Hunyuan Thunderbolt!
soon
Xu Xingchen brought Xiao Wuji, who had completed his training, to Xie Xun's wooden house.

Needless to say, Xiao Wuji was excited and sad when he met his grandfather for the first time.

Afterwards, Yin Tianzheng and Xu Xingchen greeted each other.

Because he has great kindness towards his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, Yin Tianzheng's attitude towards the young man in front of him can be described as easy-going.

The three of them sat down at another table.

Yin Susu brought over a pot of tea and poured tea into cups for several people.

Even though they live in seclusion here, apart from the simple wooden house, their food, clothing and utensils are all top-quality items from various places, exquisite and expensive!

Several people started drinking tea and chatting
From personal gratitude, we talked about family and national affairs, and from family and national affairs, we talked about the current situation in the world.
Xu Xingchen seldom spoke, but every time he spoke, he was to the point, which always made Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng feel refreshed and enlightened.

In his first life, he had learned about the history of this period in school books. There were also many books on the market that summarized many things about this period.
At that time, he did not study history in college, but he had convenient and fast search tools, and even if he heard and saw something every day, the information he obtained was immeasurable.
In addition, in the past two years, he has traveled from east to west and from west to east, covering thousands of miles in a single trip. He has seen, heard, observed and thought about many places, and can be said to have visited many places on the spot.
Combining theory with field research, he gained a new understanding of many things in this era.
Now, facing the inquiries from Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng, even if it cannot be called a dimensionality reduction attack, it made the two of them remain silent and thoughtful for many times.

After this conversation, Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng both felt amazed.

"This boy knows astronomy and geography; he is well-informed and knowledgeable."

"And he has a great mind and good plans. If he has the ambition to conquer the world, he will surely be a great hero and great man."
