Western Province.
By the Sky Piercing River, there is a big city called Lone Goose City.
The city is filled with buildings, and looking at the houses lining the road, one can tell that it used to be a thriving city.
However, there are few people walking on the road, giving it a sowhat desolate feel.
Qiao Yuan strolled through Lone Goose City with a gourd hanging from his waist, casually exploring the area.
He was followed by over ten people, including an old ascetic man.
There were over a hundred survivors who escaped from the Blood Lotus Immortal Kingdom.
But when they arrived at the side of the Sky Piercing River in Lone Goose City, the group of over a hundred people dispersed, each going their own way.
"Isn’t this Qiao Yuan? It has been a year or two since we last t, why don’t you co in and have a seat?"
A plain-looking middle-aged man from an inn by the road saw Qiao Yuan and warmly approached to invite him in.
"I don’t have any money on ," Qiao Yuan said directly.
It was clear that he and the innkeeper were old acquaintances, as he spoke very straightforwardly.
He had spent his ti in the Blood Lotus Immortal Kingdom and Kuafu Mountain Secret Realm recently, so how could he have any money left?
"No money? That’s fine if you have a story," the innkeeper chuckled, glancing at Qiao Yuan and the others:
"It’s been a while, and seeing you today is quite different. I can already sll the scent of stories on you."
He wiggled his nose and pretended to be intoxicated:
"This taste is too strong. You all are the sa."
The old man next to him looked at the innkeeper several tis.
He vaguely rembered that when he entered Lone Goose City, he had also encountered this talkative innkeeper before.
"Stop pretending." Qiao Yuan took a few steps into the inn, helped himself to a jar of wine, and prepared to pour himself a drink.
"Well, well, you sure can pick." The innkeeper’s eyes widened imdiately, and he took a few steps forward, wanting to take the wine jar from Qiao Yuan’s hand.
"This is the ‘Dispel A Thousand Sorrows’ that has been aged for thirty years."
This wine, known as Dispel A Thousand Sorrows, is a famous wine produced in the Western Province, worth a thousand taels.
A thirty-year-old Dispel A Thousand Sorrows is a rare treasure and the most expensive jar of wine in this inn.
The innkeeper had just displayed the wine to attract custors, never expecting that Qiao Yuan would take a liking to it.
"Don’t worry. I have a very good story that suits this wine and will catch the attention of the Tide Listening Building storyteller," Qiao Yuan said with a slight smile, speaking slowly.
The middle-aged man moved a bit slowly.
"It seems you ca prepared, have you been thinking about this wine for a while?"
"Since you ca prepared, I will listen to your story." The innkeeper hesitated for a mont before saying:
"Just tell
briefly what this is about first. If I find it interesting, I will pour the wine."
However, Qiao Yuan ignored the innkeeper, filled his own glass, and slowly said, amidst the innkeeper’s anxious expression:
"The Blood Lotus Sect no longer exists, and the Blood Lotus Immortal Kingdom has fallen apart."
"There is also…"
"Martial Saint has passed away."
The innkeeper stood still for a while, looking a bit lost as he watched Qiao Yuan fill a cup with wine, then drank it all by himself, thinking it was good wine.
"How about that? Can the story I’m about to tell match your 30 years of ‘Solving Woes’?" Qiao Yuan laughed.
The innkeeper was speechless for a while, then brought out a big wine bowl and said:
"Fill mine up too."
"I got it." Qiao Yuan nodded with a smile, and poured a full bowl for the innkeeper as well:
"The taste of drinking alone is like a hero traveling a thousand miles at night to kill villains, returning unnoticed in the dark. Though it doesn’t lack the elegance of a night journey in fancy clothes, it still lacks a bit of glory."
As Qiao Yuan spoke, his eyes dimd slightly.
It was Qiao Shuangtu who destroyed the Blood Lotus Sect and left.
But before Qiao Shuangtu, three or four Qiao family mbers died in the Kuafu Mountain.
But he didn’t want the hero to be unnad, he hoped that more people in the world would rember the na of the Qiao family mber.
Therefore, after coming down from Kuafu Mountain, his first stop was at the Tide Listening Building storyteller’s inn in this Lone Goose City.
After this matter was settled, he was ready to return to Kuafu Mountain.
First, as he had obtained the bone and blood, almost equivalent to the owner of the Red Sun Secret Realm, he had to take a look at the faceless Blood Flesh Divine Being.
Secondly, Qiao Mu left a flesh clone there, and he naturally used the identity of an elder from the Qiao family.
But before that…
"Co, let
tell you about the great battle between Martial Saint and the ancestors of the Qiao family…"
"……"
"Do you know, what were Martial Saint’s last words in the battle?" asked Qiao Yuan.
When this happened, he wasn’t there, but he heard about it from Wu Jing.
"Will I co back?" the innkeeper asked cautiously.
Qiao Yuan just shook his head.
"He said…. the strong survive, the weak perish."
"Finally, it’s my ti to die…."
The innkeeper listened quietly for a long ti, then sighed and said:
"This sage is truly near death, not speaking double standards, not just saying ‘the weak are eaten by the strong’, but when facing elimination himself, acting like a coward begging for rcy."
"That’s exactly Martial Saint’s style."
"Martial Saint always keeps his thoughts deep like the sea, who can guess what he’s thinking…." the innkeeper said slowly.
"Even at the brink of death, one cannot express their innermost thoughts and struggles…"
"Things have co to this, no need for more words," said Qiao Yuan as he raised his glass.
The innkeeper paused for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
"Indeed, things have co to this point, no need for more words."
He raised his glass and clinked it with Qiao Yuan’s, causing so of the drink to splash out, filling the air with a rich aroma, attracting the attention of those around.
"The Inhuman War has been going on for forty years now."
"Martial Saint has ruled over the martial arts world for thirty years…"
"And today, it just happens to be the thirtieth anniversary of this ‘Solving Worries’ brew." The innkeeper looked at Qiao Yuan and said slowly:
"It seems you have co prepared indeed."
Qiao Yuan murmured softly, "Who created this murky wine? One sip, Dispel A Thousand Sorrows."
He said in a low voice, "The martial arts world has endured storms for the past thirty years, all in this wine."
The two lifted their wine bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
Forty years ago, the martial arts world was a ti when heroes gathered, with Earth Sword Immortal leading the way, followed by others like Spear Saint, Eight-ard Heavenly Dragon, and Divine Monk Dried Leaf, each with their own style.
But thirty years ago, the martial arts world was shattered by a single punch from Martial Saint.
Great martial arts sects collapsed, leaving only Martial Saint infamous across the land, with others nowhere to be found.
They knew.
From the mont Martial Saint died.
Thus, an era of the martial arts world ca to an end.
……………………………..
Zhong Province.
Wu Jing and Qiao Mu moved quickly between the trees, as fast as the wind.
Wu Jing couldn’t keep up with Qiao Mu’s agility, and Qiao Mu led the way most of the ti.
As they approached the headquarters of Wuji Association, Wu Jing insisted on being let down to guide the way.
"Wu Jing, besides the martial arts secrets of famous sects like Shaolin and Wudang, what other amazing techniques does your Wuji Association possess?"
Qiao Mu had always been curious about the martial arts collection of the Wuji Association.
After a mont of thought, Wu Jing replied,
"While Shaolin and Wudang are reputable sects in the martial world, the true masters of ancient martial arts are the top ten warriors from the Martial Arts Ranking List of previous generations."
"Actually, many of those powerful people co from the ancient martial arts sects."
Earth Sword Immortal, who is a disciple of Wudang Sect without a doubt, learned the sect’s most powerful skill, "Pure Yang Wuji Skill".
The fourth strongest in the world, also hails from Shaolin, known as Divine Monk Dried Leaf.
The tenth strongest in the world, "Cow Cleaver Knife
