Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 131 Is it telling me, old man, that you are a little nervous?
"You and Second Dream, and you, Bu Jingyun and Chu Chu, can only be separated, not reunited."

Nie Feng frowned upon hearing what the strange man said:
"What exactly do you want?"

The strange man stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, and said leisurely:

"A happy and peaceful life often leads people to become complacent and lose their drive. Throughout history, only natural disasters and man-made calamities have been able to help people grow and unleash their full potential as human beings."

He gestured wildly as he stared at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun:

"You two, Feng and Yun, are martial arts prodigies rarely seen in the world today. It would be a pity if you both retired to seclusion, detached from worldly affairs, and died in the forest."

The strange man feigned deep sorrow:

"How can this be allowed? How can we waste such a precious resource? You two must keep up with the times and play this game with me. Otherwise, what progress can the martial arts world of China make!"

"You're so boring." Nie Feng said sarcastically.
"It's not just boring, it's downright shameless."

"Shameless?" The strange man's tone was full of amusement: "Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, how about we make a bet? In a moment, you will not only kneel down to this shameless scoundrel, but you will also kowtow to me three times."

Upon hearing this, Bu Jingyun seemed to have some old memories instantly activated. Thinking about the strange man's unpredictable martial arts skills and his experiences over this period, he felt a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

First, his junior brother's wife, Second Dream, was attacked and brutally murdered. She was later resurrected but lost her past memories. Fortunately, the "Zhou Tian Ling Fei Qu" was used to cleanse her mind and spirit, allowing her to recover.

He himself suffered persecution, and his two sons disappeared innocently. If it weren't for the completion of the "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong" which allows one to sense the surrounding area within ten miles, he probably wouldn't have been able to find them.

Thinking of his own experience, he feared that his junior brother might also encounter an inexplicable enemy, so he took his wife and children to Duanqing Residence.

Thinking of this, Bu Jingyun shouted:
“Xiong Ba, don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a mask.”

"Do you think you've mastered martial arts over the years, so you've come here specifically to torment me and Junior Brother Feng, hoping to bring you pleasure by seeing us suffer?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Feng's expression became uncertain and suspicious, as if he also felt that the strange man's behavior was very similar to someone else's.

"Xiong Ba?" The strange man was taken aback.
"He wasn't forced by Wuming to cripple his martial arts and become an unusable old waste."

He sighed in regret:
"A once-powerful figure who dominated the martial arts world, and who managed to recruit two martial arts prodigies like you, must have been a promising talent himself. But in the end, it was all for naught; we were not meant to be!"

"Still boasting and acting arrogantly." Bu Jingyun sneered.
"It really is you, Xiong Ba!"

The strange man crossed his arms and laughed heartily, saying:

"Haha, I'm starting to wonder why you two mistook me for Xiong Ba."

"Are you really not him?" Nie Feng looked at the strange man suspiciously.

"Junior Brother Feng, it must be him. Otherwise, who else in the world could bring the dead back to life?" Bu Jingyun said in a deep voice.
"As for the martial arts techniques he later taught us, their power is completely different from ordinary martial arts. They are all peerless divine skills that can be activated at will within a radius of several miles."

"Besides that, ever since he retired from the martial arts world, he has loved to torment people, especially us."

"Hehe, I understand now. Xiong Ba must have rebuilt his martial arts after his power was destroyed, during his seclusion, which is why you all fear him so much," the strange man chuckled.
"Just how powerful is he that you all mistake me, the god who controls everyone's fate, for him?"

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng understood each other perfectly. They glanced at each other, and the same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

"Since you claim you're not Xiong Ba, do you dare come with us to Ruoshui Residence?" Bu Jingyun asked expressionlessly.
“Let’s bet on this: if you are not Xiong Ba, then we lose and we will kneel and kowtow to you; if you are Xiong Ba, then we will kneel and kowtow to you.”

"This is so much fun! Let's play this little game first." The strange man clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Because you're destined to lose, so hurry up and lead the way."

After sending their wives and children back to Duanqing Residence, Feng and Yun leaped into the air. Bu Jingyun's long hair billowed out, lifting him lightly into the air as he rode the wind. Nie Feng used his lightness skill, soaring through the air as if walking on the tip of the wind, transforming into a true god of the wind.

"It seems that these fancy martial arts skills were taught to you by Xiong Ba. I'm more interested in him now."

The strange man laughed heartily, and as he walked, he appeared to be strolling leisurely and gracefully, seemingly moving at an incredible speed. To onlookers, it didn't seem like he was moving very fast, but in reality, it was as if he were shrinking the distance between people.

Feng and Yun heard his voice, but saw that his figure had already arrived in front of them. When he used his lightness skill, there was neither sound barrier nor wind. He felt that he was really like a god walking among mortals.

After a swift journey of about half an hour, the three arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest. Upon seeing the peach grove, the strange man exclaimed:
"How leisurely and refined one is, living in seclusion in a peach grove."

Feng and Yun exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt appearing in their eyes. Without further delay, they leaped up, crossed the peach grove, and landed directly outside Ruoshui Residence.

"As the saying goes, you can run away from the monk but not the temple, so where can you run to?" The strange man walked into the peach grove with a nonchalant air.

at the same time.

Feng and Yun then saw a strangely familiar figure under the old peach tree.

"Junior Brother Yun, Junior Brother Feng, why did you suddenly come? Why aren't you using the main gate?" Qin Shuang said, slightly surprised.

"Master has been staying at Ruoshui Residence all this time?" Nie Feng asked directly.

You Ruo sighed from the side:
"He has never left the peach orchard. He has been sleeping under this old peach tree for more than half a year and has not woken up yet."

Suddenly, an unparalleled gust of wind swept through the peach grove, and with a cracking sound, the idyllic peach grove was destroyed in an instant.

Nie Feng and the others quickly used all their strength, but they had to retreat several steps before they could dissipate the immense force contained in the gust of wind.

"Hahaha, so everyone's here." The strange man appeared before them like a ghost.

"I've already told you I'm not Xiong Ba, but you wouldn't believe me. Now give up."

"Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, kneel down and kowtow! You've lost this bet!"

"Senior Brother, Junior Sister Youruo, this is a madman whose martial arts are unfathomable. Be extremely careful," Nie Feng warned immediately.

Immediately, the group's aura surged, and they looked solemnly at the strange man who was gradually approaching.

Suddenly, with perfect coordination, they attacked the strange man with knives, swords, and fists.

But then he stood with his hands behind his back, unleashing the true energy surrounding him, and pressed Nie Feng and the others backward step by step, until they were about to reach the white-haired, black-robed man's reclining chair.

Suddenly, the celestial phenomena above Ruoshui Residence changed, as if a huge hole had been torn in the void, and a massive amount of heaven and earth essence poured out and crashed down. Nie Feng and the others felt an immense power and used their hands to strike at the strange man.

The strange man, sensing the danger, instinctively raised his hand and channeled his energy. With a deafening roar, the resulting debris, like a plowshare, ravaged Ruoshui Residence, the damaged peach grove, and even the bamboo forest, leaving them in ruins.

"Your Excellency enjoys gambling, and coincidentally, I also enjoy gambling."

The white-haired, black-robed man slowly awoke, rose unhurriedly, and walked past Nie Feng and the others, lazily saying:
"How about we make a few bets?"

The strange man, Indra, had a glint of peculiar light appear in his abyss-like eyes:
"I have only been detached from the mortal world for a few years, yet I never expected that a martial arts genius even more outstanding than Feng Yun would emerge."

"Your heartbeat is slightly faster now than when you arrived," the white-haired man in black robes said with a smile.
"Is it telling me that you are a little nervous?"
