In the heart of America, over two decades ago, a man from the Persian Jasper Family, Xia Jinge, arrived in the Central Plains and in less than a year, formed the Winsome Sect, which quickly dominated the martial landscape. As Xias influence grew, he mysteriously disappeared from the martial world.
Xiao Shang, the latest sensation in the martial world, is a young man filled with passion and ideals. His master, the renowned Sword of Emotion, Tian Chan, was a luminary in the martial world two decades ago, and Xiao Shang is now another young swordsman who has captured the awe of the entire martial fraternity.
Xiao Shang hails from a secretive sect, not from a major orthodox sect like Wudang or Shaolin, but from the Gu Family, which is as enigmatic as the Winsome Sects leader, Xia Jinge, from two decades ago. The Gu Family traces its roots back to the imperial guards of the Later Zhou dynasty. Their founding patriarchs were three generals of the Later Zhou, who, after the accession of Emperor Gong of Later Zhou and the appointment of Zhao Kuangyin as the Jiedushi of Guide, settled in Songzhou (present-day Shangqiu, Henan). The following year, Zhao Kuangyin staged a coup in Chenqiao and ascended to the throne. Due to his rise in Songzhou, he named the country "Song" and set the capital in Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng).
The three Gu brothers, loyal to the Later Zhou, were not employed by the new Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. They retreated with their confidants to Gold Hollow and gradually formed a family-style martial force, the precursor to todays Gold Guests.
Few in the martial world know of the Gold Guests, and those who do, know them only because their members don garments of gold, hence the name. Some know of them because of a martial campaign that occurred in Gold Hollow a hundred years ago. About a century ago, the Gold Guests split into two factions: the Gu Family and the Mo Luo Family. The Mo Luo Family consisted of Gus generals confidants who wished to leave Gold Hollow and return to their hometowns. However, the master of Gold Hollow decreed that no one was allowed to leave, leading to a breakout battle. The Gu Family and the Mo Luo Family fought a fierce battle in Gold Hollow, and in a moment of mercy, the master of Gold Hollow allowed the remaining fifty-odd members of the Mo Luo Family to leave. But the enmity between the two families was自此结下. Later, the Mo Luo Family even occupied the Gu Familys scripture repository in the north of the Song Dynasty, Peach Blossom Island.
This campaign has been a long-lasting legend in the martial world, but since the Gold Hollow and the Mo Luo Family rarely move in the martial world, few martial people have encountered them.
Xiao Shang returned to the Central Plains martial world and to his original residence in a place called Demon Bamboo Mountain. In a valley there, there were two bamboo houses where Xiao Shang lived. Xiao Shang, with his elegant demeanor, named them the Great and Lesser Ink Bamboo Residences.
After three days and nights of travel, Xiao Shang finally arrived at a remote valley in Demon Bamboo Mountain. There were two small houses made of ink bamboo. Xiao Shang entered the larger one, and after a while, a dim light shone from the window, scattering on the withered grass by the window and reflecting from the ice-formed frozen grass leaves.
At this moment, Xiao Shangs magnetic voice came from the window: "Little White, I dont know where Master has gone, and my sworn brother, Lion Four, is not at home. I cant ask him for help in finding the whereabouts of Uncle Jian again. Im afraid there will be no news of Uncle Jian for another half month. Sigh, Ill make the fire brighter, so we can sleep well."
"I know, Master, dont worry. One day, you will find Uncle Jian as the old master instructed." Along with a clear parrot voice, a white parrot appeared on the window of the Ink Bamboo Residence, and under the light of the room, it looked even more unique.
It seemed to be a parrot that could communicate with people, looking like a pet of the immortals. Its round little head, curved beak, and big eyes like two bright black pearls. Its long feathers fluttered as if it were very happy to see its little master. At this time, Xiao Shang also walked to the window, and he was indeed a talented and handsome man, with a straight nose and thin lips. A slight smile revealed a set of white teeth, looking just like the good boy beside Guanyin Niangniang, with a charming and attractive face. If a woman in love saw it, she would want to take a bite.
While Xiao Shang was chatting with his pet Little White and adding firewood to the stove, a gust of wind blew, and a few dark figures seemed to float down from the sky. Like fallen leaves, soon all the dark figures disappeared as if they had never appeared, and the surroundings returned to calm.
At this time, the conversation between Xiao Shang and Little White suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Shang stopped walking towards the stove. They seemed to have heard some sound. Xiao Shang put down the firewood in his hand, and with his dark eyes, he looked out of the window. Xiao Shang cautiously looked around and did not find anything unusual. At this time, Xiao Shangs voice in the room sounded again: "Little White, it seems there is the sound of night travelers outside, did you hear it?"
"I heard it, Master. Why cant I hear it now? Im a bit scared. Are these the old masters enemies who have found their way here?"
"I dont know. When I came back, I felt like someone was following me. I dont know what these people are after, tracking me, and what they want to do. Could it be that the people from the Winsome Sect have found out my identity and sent people to track me here?"
"Creak—" The door of the cabin opened, and a tall and upright figure appeared at the door of the Great Ink Bamboo Residence, blocking part of the light in the room.
The group of dark figures was the Winsome Sects experts who had been tracking Xiao Shang in Luoyang three days ago, all the elite that the Luoyang branch of the Winsome Sect could find, a total of 20 people. These peoples martial arts skills are also among the best in the Luoyang branch of the Winsome Sect.
However, the young man in the room is related to the "that person" they are looking for, and his martial arts are naturally not easy to deal with. And their order this time is to bring this young man back alive, it must be alive, which is what the deputy leader of the Winsome Sect, Cang Tianba, emphasized when giving the order.
Because twenty years ago, "that person" was too famous and had high martial arts skills, even the deputy leader of the Winsome Sect, the master Cang Tianba, carefully planned this operation. This is the only operation related to "that person" since the establishment of the Winsome Sect twenty years ago.
They arrived at the cabin when Xiao Shang and Little White were talking, and the appearance of the parrot Little White further confirmed Master Cang Tianbas idea, because it was the parrot raised by the eldest disciple of the Winsome Sect, the elder of the Gu Family, Tian Chan. Luoyang branch leader Luo Daqi knew the importance of this operation, so when the conversation in the room suddenly disappeared, he and the green parrots around him immediately hid on the spot.
Under the command of Luo Daqi, the person in charge of this operation, the 20 people just hid, and then they heard the voice of the young man in the room. At this time, the door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a tall and upright figure appeared at the door of the cabin.
The 20 experts of the Winsome Sect saw the figure appearing from the cabin and immediately confirmed that he was the young man related to "that person," named Xiao Shang, whom everyone was looking for. Everyones breathing became heavy. Luo Daqis fingers moved slightly, making a few gestures that only those in black could understand.
The 20 experts of the Winsome Sect understood the meaning of the branch leader Luo Daqis gestures: hide and wait for an opportunity.
In just a few gestures, Luo Daqi had issued orders to his subordinates, and everyone continued to hide outside the Great Ink Bamboo Residence.
Suddenly, Xiao Shang, who was standing outside the cabin door, seemed to feel something and looked around again as if looking for something.
All the people participating in the operation forbade themselves to make any movement here, focusing all their attention on the young man standing close to where Luo Daqi was hiding.
Xiao Shang looked around for a while and seemed to find no one. After all, Xiao Shangs martial experience was shallow, so the hiding method of the experienced Winsome Sect Green Parrots easily deceived the young man with extraordinary martial arts but shallow martial experience, the Sword of Emotions successor, the handsome swordsman Xiao Shang.
A gust of wind blew, and Luo Daqi felt his back was already sweating! Since he followed the Jade Elder to betray the Winsome Sect and participated in the martial world to追杀 originally close as brothers Winsome Sect members, he also sweated, and it has been 20 years since then! It is really rare for such a thing to make him, who has been strictly trained, sweat.
"This young man must be related to Elder Tian Chan, and even this keen sense of smell is not inferior to the legendary Winsome Sects eldest disciple!"
Luo Daqi made this judgment for the first time, "I just dont know if I and other Winsome Sect Green Parrots can complete this task smoothly this time!"
Because of the previous scene, Luo Daqi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and they still didnt know whether the young mans master, the dual main character of the Winsome Sect and the Gu Family, Elder Tian Chan, was also living in a certain place in this valley.
Xiao Shang, who found nothing, finally turned and walked back to the room, and then the sound of wood knocking came from the room again.
Xiao Shang picked up a few pieces of wood and filled them into the stove door, and a few small sparks burst out. The bright light illuminated the round little head of the parrot Little White, making it red, just like a beauty who had drunk too much wine.
Xiao Shang and Little White talked for a few more words and said goodnight to each other, then lay on the bed and closed their eyes to rest.
The light in the room suddenly went out, and the inside and outside of the room also darkened.
A gust of wind blew, and the 20 top killers of the Winsome Sect felt a chill, and the whole world was immersed in a chill, as if nature did not welcome the 20 experts who sneaked into the Demon Bamboo Mountain. The whole Demon Bamboo Mountain became colder at night.
Occasionally, there was a crackling sound of sparks exploding from the cabin.
After the light went out, Luo Daqi waited for an hour more, judging that Xiao Shang in the room was almost asleep, and then he slowly crawled out of his hiding place.
Gradually gathering around Luo Daqi, the Green Parrots also had a solemn expression. Luo Daqi called a few who were best at exploring to prepare to sneak into the wooden house to prepare for the first attack.
Of course, these peoples actions were tentative, first to see if the strength of that young man was something these people could deal with, and of course, to attract him to the ambush circle that had been set up in advance.
All the arrangements made by Luo Daqi were made with gestures, without making a sound, which shows the training level of these Green Parrots in green clothes. They could express complex meanings with gestures.
With the dispersing gesture, everyone carried out their tasks silently.
The infiltrators surrounded the wooden house silently, and the other personnel lurked around the house again under the command of Luo Daqi, forming a large circle, leaving only the direction facing the wooden house, so as to let the infiltrators attract the young man to the ambush circle.
Everyone had taken the most suitable position to infiltrate, and with the command of Luo Daqis gesture, the operation began!
Looking around, Luo Daqi also swept past in the direction of his subordinates, the Green Parrots. He wanted to see if he could find the trace of "that person" in this valley. If that person did not appear, there is still a hope of strength with the current strength.
But the premise is that there is no former leader of the Winsome Sect, Elder Tian Chan, living in this desolate valley at the same time.
Walking in front of Luo Daqi were an old and a young father and son, Wu Yi Si and Wu Tai An.
Luo Daqi knew that these two people were the most mysterious two Green Parrots under his command. Wu Yi Si was a silent person, and he was the same when facing the leader, and would not change a bit from usual. He and his son Wu Tai An were one of the few people in the Winsome Sect who could become Golden Beaks. They are not only cold and indifferent to people but also very strong. It is said that they have also been taught by the Jade Elder. They are indispensable in this operation.
Among the people participating in this operation, there must be some who can definitely defeat the Wu familys father and son. In addition to Luo Daqi, the leader of the Luoyang branch, there is another person, that is, the special envoy sent by the Jade Elder to supervise Luo Daqi. It is said that this envoy is one of the hundred Golden Beaks of the Winsome Sect. Strictly speaking, this green-clothed old man is not a person of the Luoyang branch, but he participated in this operation in order to supervise Luo Daqi and others. Moreover, except for Luo Daqi, no one can mobilize him, and the Jade Elder also ordered Luo Daqi to listen to the green-clothed old mans orders at the critical moment, and this secret operation is not entirely up to Luo Daqi.
As for Luo Daqis martial arts, no one in the Winsome Sect knows, not even the deputy leader of the Winsome Sect, Cang Tianba. No one has seen him make a move, and all those who have seen it have left the world - died under his knife.
It is said that Luo Daqi is one of the favorites of the Jade Elder. He really only needs one knife. No matter how high the opponents martial arts are, that knife is as fast as lightning and can definitely help Luo Daqi win the final victory. It is said that this move was secretly taught to Luo Daqi by the Jade Elder. When the Winsome Sect just separated from the Winsome Sect, except for those who participated in the battle with the experts of the Winsome Sect, only Luo Daqi had followed the Jade Elder for two years, and he never left the side of the traitor of the Winsome Sect, the Jade Elder. Therefore, the Jade Elder later taught him this move to reward Luo Daqis loyalty.
Luo Daqi gradually approached the Wu familys father and son, and the three of them used light work to circle the valley quietly and found that there was no one else except for a young man and a white parrot in the Great and Lesser Ink Bamboo Residences. Luo Daqi was overjoyed. His luck was really good! There was no trace of the person he was worried about in this valley. With the help of the Wu familys father and son and more than a dozen green parrots, this task must be completed. Unexpectedly, Elder Tian Chan was not with his disciples. Although even if this operation is successful, it is only a small merit. But Elder Tian Chan is not here, and the opportunity to complete this task is much greater.
Suddenly, the Wu familys father and son stopped their rapid movement and turned to look at the direction behind Luo Daqi.
Luo Daqi also stopped involuntarily.
Whats the matter? Why are they looking at the back of me like this? Could it be that the enemys trace has appeared behind me? Luo Daqi quickly turned his face as if to confirm this point.
There was no trace of the enemy behind him. Luo Daqi turned his face and looked at the Wu familys father and son. After a few minutes, the three of them were silent, but their eyes were still staring at the silver-white world behind them.
Luo Daqi suddenly noticed something and moved his body with a "brush" sound.
Although there was nothing behind him, he could see the trampled weeds under the moonlight, leaving some clues a few hundred meters behind him.
Luo Daqi looked back again and still found no one. He had to slowly turn around and face the Wu familys father and son, and was shocked. In front of him, five steps away, there were actually two people. It was clearly the Elder Tian Chan he was most afraid to meet and Xiao Shang, who was still sleeping in the room just now.
Luo Daqi immediately sent out the enemy discovery signal, and the fiery red flower flag rocket immediately shot into the sky, illuminating the dark woods.
Luo Daqi looked at the two figures in front of him with a cold smile: "You have finally appeared. When our people come, you will not be able to run away."
However, the old and young in front of him seemed not to hear at all, without any reaction. They still stood there quietly, only occasionally the wind blew the corners of their clothes. Especially Xiao Shang beside Elder Tian Chan
