As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1148
Chapter 1148 Confucian Sage
“Senior Guan, long time no see.”
Xiao Chen looked at Guan Zhen and remembered what happened when he was trapped under Wushuang City.
At this moment, Guan Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at Qianyu Nichang beside him. He said, “I don’t see that Qianluo girl anymore.”
“She … she’s gone.”
Thinking of Luo Die, at this moment, Xiao Chen still had an indescribable feeling. Especially when he thought of the mysterious woman who had annihilated the three forces below Lustless Heaven last time. Was she Luo Die? If she was Luo Die, then why would she do that?
Unwilling to think about these things again, Xiao Chen changed the topic and said, “Is Senior Guan coming to Feng Yuntian this time to go to the Ninth Heaven?”
“No.”
Guan Zhen raised his hand and looked at the “cold sun” in the sky. He said, “I came to Feng Yuntian to see how that genius of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhufeng, who was unparalleled in the world, ascended to the ninth layer of the Heavens … I believe that in the next three hundred years, it will be difficult for the Xiao Clan to produce such a genius.”
It was originally a heroic remark, but at this moment, Xiao Meng’er heard every word and said, “I think this is the famous Senior Guan Zhen from the north and south. This junior, Xiao Meng’er, greets Senior …”
“Oh?”
Guan Zhen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her. However, he didn’t know if he really didn’t know her or if he wanted to say something like that. He said, “You are Xiao Xuanfeng’s eldest granddaughter. You joined the East Radiance Immortal Qiong Sect early on and became the first person in this world to fuse immortal martial arts.”
Xiao Meng’er said, “Senior just said that back then, that person was unparalleled in the world. How dare I call him the number one person?”
“Yes, too.”
If it was someone else outside, they would definitely flatter Xiao Meng’er. However, Guan Zhen only focused his gaze and said, “There are all sorts of methods in the world, including the Immortal Dao and the Ancient Martial Arts. Each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses. Back then, Xiao Zhufeng was able to defeat me in one move, but now, could Fairy Xiao also defeat me in one move?”
These words immediately caused the atmosphere to freeze even more. Especially Liu Wuxin, who was beside Xiao Meng’er, her expression had obviously changed.
However, when she looked at Xiao Meng’er, her face was still as calm as water. It seemed that her Dao Heart was still above her senior brother’s. No matter what she heard, she could still maintain her Dao Heart and not lose her breath.
Although Guan Zhen was a martial practitioner, he already had the strength of a Quasi-Sage back then. He did not put cultivators in his eyes. At that time, he was arrogant and refused to accept the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts as the number one ancient martial art in the world. Thus, he went to the Xiao Clan to challenge them.
At that time, very few of Guan Zhen’s martial arts were able to contend against him. Unless the Xiao Clan’s elders came out, no one would be able to stop him. Even if the disciples attacked together, they would not be able to withstand a single punch or palm from him.
This made him even more arrogant. He barged into the Xiao Clan all the way. Not a single one of them was his opponent. However, the elders didn’t know what they were doing at that time. Not a single one of them came out. Not even a single person could be seen.
The disciples couldn’t find the elders, and they finally panicked. Guan Zhen also laughed loudly, “The Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts are empty. None of them can be a match for Guan Mou! It’s not as interesting as the Bei Gong Yi clan’s dao techniques. They’re boring, very boring!”
Just as he finished speaking, a clear male voice suddenly came from inside, “Why don’t I meet your Excellency?”
That voice sounded very gentle. When Guan Zhen saw the man walking out, he was even more stunned. Ordinary martial practitioners were different from Immortal Dao, so they were usually strong. However, this man in front of him had an extraordinarily handsome appearance and was gentle and elegant. He looked like a Confucian scholar. How could he look like a martial practitioner?
“Haha!”
Guan Zhen laughed loudly. He had never seen such an elegant martial practitioner. This was clearly a useless scholar. How could he be like a martial practitioner?
However, even though he ridiculed him so rudely, the other party still wore a smile and was polite. Finally, he said two words: “Three moves.”
When Guan Zhen heard this, he thought that he wanted to let him do three moves. He laughed loudly and said, “I’ll let you do ten moves!”
After hearing this, the man shook his head with a smile, “No, I mean, if you continue to move forward within three moves, then this competition will be counted as your victory. From now on, the Xiao Clan will no longer be called the Ancient Martial Aristocrat Clan.”
Not only was Guan Zhen stunned, the Xiao Clan disciples present were even more shocked as they shouted, “Xiao Zhufeng … Are you crazy? How can you decide the name of the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts?”
However, Xiao Zhufeng ignored the opposition of those people and continued to look at Guan Zhen with a smile.
At this moment, the way Guan Zhen looked at him became slightly different. Ning Mei asked, “Your name is Xiao Zhufeng?”
“Exactly.”
“Alright … Xiao Zhufeng.”
At this instant, Guan Zhen raised the internal force in his body. His luck turned nine times and a strong wind blew up. Everyone in the surroundings could no longer breathe. This internal force was actually countless times stronger than before!
Just as everyone was panicking, Guan Zhen had already launched his offensive. However, at the moment he made his move, no one saw it. No one present saw how Xiao Zhufeng made his move. With just one move, he neutralized all of Guan Zhen’s internal force and then only saw Guan Zhen fly backwards.
At this moment, everyone was quiet and everyone was stunned. Xiao Zhufeng was still standing there, motionless, and his face was still smiling.
However, Guan Zhen’s face was already deathly pale. He was half-crouching on the ground, one hand supporting the ground and the other covering his chest. At this moment, it was unexpectedly difficult for him to lift any more internal force.
“You …”
Guan Zhen never imagined that such a refined looking young man would actually defeat him with just one move.
Perhaps the others present did not see it clearly, nor could they feel it, but he was clear that although that move was only one move, it was already heaven and earth different from what he had learned in his entire life.
“I lost …”
That time, Guan Zhen was convinced. After that, he finally understood why the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts dared to claim first place in the world.
Before Xiao Zhufeng came out, no one was his opponent. That was because those people were not even able to grasp the true essence of the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts.
That year, Xiao Zhufeng was only in his twenties. Who would dare believe that he, who was only in his twenties, actually possessed such a profound cultivation?
This matter naturally attracted Xiao Clan’s attention, and several elders kept asking. At that time, Xiao Zhufeng was not a Great Childe, how could he have such a skill?
Where did this ability come from? Could it be that he had encountered an opportunity outside, and some senior had passed all of his skills to him on the eve of his death?
However, with the abilities of the elders at that time, how could they not be able to see if someone had passed on their cultivation power to him? Unless this person’s abilities were far above theirs.
Thus, in the end, he could only explain it with peerless geniuses. Moreover, Xiao Zhufeng’s talent was truly unparalleled in the present world. He had also become one of the “Confucian Saints” among the Ten Saints.
Perhaps some people wondered why it wasn’t a Martial Saint, but a Confucian Saint?
However, Xiao Zhufeng’s temperament was as gentle as water. He was very polite to others, never arrogant, nor arrogant. He had always been elegant, gentle and graceful, and he knew the rhythm of painting and calligraphy. His image really did not conform to the word “Martial Saint”. Moreover, he had said that at that time, Zhufeng did not dare to be called “Martial Saint”.
Therefore, the world called him “Confucian Sage”, and this word “Confucian” was called “scholarly and elegant”.
At this moment, Guan Zhen recalled the past. He truly sighed with emotion in his heart. Unfortunately, he was later plotted by people from Beigong Clan. Otherwise, he might have known more about what happened back then.
Xiao Meng’er was also silent. Back then, when Xiao Zhufeng became famous, she hadn’t been born yet. It was only in the future that she found out that there was actually such a person in the clan. In the end, she betrayed the Xiao Clan.
“Back then, Uncle Xiao’s ancient martial arts attainments were truly unparalleled.”
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er’s face was still as calm as water. Although her words were so calm, was her heart really so calm?
The reason why she was called the number one person in the Xiao Clan was because she was the first person to fuse immortal martial arts to such perfection. However, whenever the world mentioned Xiao Zhufeng, who would know about Xiao Meng’er?
Xiao Chen’s eyes were sharp. At this moment, he saw the unwillingness in Xiao Meng’er’s heart. No matter how deep she hid it and how calm her face was, he could still see it.
