Chapter 115
115 Three Veteran Grand Masters Came Out of Retirement!
The old man’s name was Qin Chen. He looked to be a graying old man in his eighties. In the vicinity, he was considered a good-tempered and amiable person.
Therefore, when the neighbors saw Qin Chen blow his top for the first time, they were invariably surprised.
Anger flashed across the eyes of the two burly men, and they were itching to teach Qin Chen a lesson.
The two guys were thinking, “Why don’t you take a look at who is here to invite you? This is a Grand Master, the dojo master of the West Universe Dojo. He is a person with incomparably exalted status and strength, but he was insulted by an old useless fellow like you.”
Jiang Yunhu stopped the two burly men. He wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he lowered his head even lower and said, “Old Qin, after so many years, your temper hasn’t changed at all.”
Qin Chen was just his name in the old city district. Jiang Yunhu knew his other name, Qin Jiancheng.
Back then, a ruthless person who charged into a horde of Fearsome Beasts alone, entering and emerging seven times from there. He not only made the Fearsome Beasts fearful, but also caused humans to be dumbfounded.
If not for the hidden injuries left on his body during the Holy War 70 years ago that curtailed his ability to continue cultivating, he might even have had a chance to break through to the Great Grand Master level!
In that Holy War, Qin Jiancheng’s son had sacrificed himself heroically. After experiencing the pain of losing his son, he was disheartened. He took his granddaughter, who was still a baby, and retired to live in the old city district.
In addition, when he was young, he was arrogant and had offended many people, so he didn’t have many friends. Jiang Yunhu could barely be considered one.
“Don’t change the subject!”
“Old man, I’m old now and don’t have any more ambition. I just want to live out my old age in peace. You should leave. I don’t want to get involved in this mess.”
Qin Jiancheng waved his hand and said with a tired expression, “Jie’er, close the door and send the guest away!”
He had heard about what happened in Lunan City over the past few days and knew how powerful Lu Yu was. Moreover, he was a Grand Master with a flourishing health vitality at the peak of his powers, so he was definitely not to be trifled with.
What did it have to do with him if the four big dojos were swallowed up one by one?
Regretfully, he would not be able to help though it concerned the fate of the West Universe Dojo!
Jiang Yunhu seemed to have expected this. He simply shook his head and said indifferently, “Old Qin, I know you’re tired and don’t want to interfere in anything, but have you thought about it? You don’t have many years left to live. After you die, what will happen to your granddaughter?”
Qin Jiancheng, who had just turned around, suddenly trembled. It was as if someone had hit his weak spot. He didn’t move at all and stood frozen to the spot.
Seeing this, a smug expression spread across Jiang Yunhu’s face. He knew now that there was a chance.
On the other side,
Xian Xingmeng traveled through the night and arrived at a farming family with a large estate in the suburbs of Lunan City.
Nowadays, with the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, Fearsome Beasts were rampant. Outside the humankind’s cities, the territories were all occupied by Fearsome Beasts. All humans fought to be the first to squeeze into the cities. It was rare to see people living in the suburbs like this family.
As the owner of a dojo, she no longer had her usual dignified posture. Instead, she was humble and respectful. She waited outside the door for more than two hours.
“Leave!”
“We’ve been living in seclusion here for more than 30 years and have long despised the struggles of human society. At most… when the time comes, we’ll protect you.”
In the manor, a sigh could be heard. Xian Xingmeng stopped in her tracks as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
After a long time, Xian Xingmeng said, “Seniors, our Southern Star Dojo is really at a dead end. That’s why we had no choice but to come here. I can’t be the sinner of the Southern Star Dojo and allow the dojo to be destroyed in my hands.”
“If the two seniors don’t agree, I’ll kneel here.”
Making up her mind there and then, Xian Xingmeng knelt on the ground straightaway.
A hale and hearty old woman with white hair and a rosy complexion walked out. She looked at the kneeling Xian Xingmeng and said indifferently, “Haha! Do you think I’ll be hoodwinked by your little trick? Since you want to kneel, you can kneel all the way.”
Xian Xingmeng stubbornly gritted her teeth and said, “Seniors, my old dojo master saved your lives. You may not care about the life and death of the Southern Star Dojo, but surely you can’t ignore the fact that the old dojo master’s son, who was my husband, was killed, right?”
“Back then, your promise was to protect the old dojo master and his family. Now, the son of your benefactor has been killed, but you’re indifferent. You’re really ungrateful!”
Hearing this, the old woman raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as a boundless, powerful force suddenly erupted, crushing Xian Xingmeng to the ground so forcefully that she was unable to move at all.
The old woman said in an icy cold voice, “Are you teaching me how to conduct myself?”
Xian Xingmeng crawled on the ground and said, “I’m just telling the truth.”
An angry snort burst out. The old woman was about to slap Xian Xingmeng’s head into fragments when another aura of the Grand Master level erupted and blocked her palm strike.
The old woman turned her head and asked in confusion, “Old man, what are you doing?”
An old man with a refined air and a bit of a scholarly demeanor said with a sneer, “What a sharp-tongued woman. Old woman, it seems that we have no choice but to help.”
The old woman said in surprise, “Old man, are you going to do it yourself?”
The old man laughed loudly, his voice filled with an overbearing pressure. “Of course. Haha! I want to see just how capable that Lu Yu is.”
Xian Xingmeng was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
This time, the Southern Star Dojo was saved. She no longer had to live every day in fear.
The next day, a piece of news spread throughout Lunan City, shocking all the cultivators.
Xian Xingmeng personally showed up to invite a Grand Master couple to deal with Lu Yu!
The identity of this couple was also exposed. It was the famous Demonic Duo Swordsmen from thirty years ago.
The man’s name was Gudu Feng, and the woman’s name was Mei Chaorong!
One used a saber while the other used a sword. Their cultivation techniques could complement each other. After the saber and sword combined, the power that erupted was incomparably terrifying. It had once terrified many cultivators.
About thirty years ago, when their reputation was at its peak, the Demonic Duo Swordsmen suddenly retired. No one knew where they were, but they didn’t expect them to be in Lunan City.
While everyone was still shocked by the news of the Demonic Duo Swordsmen’s return, another sensational piece of news broke out.
Seventy years ago during the Holy War, Qin Jiancheng charged into a horde of Fearsome Beasts and emerged unscathed seven times. Also known as the War God Asura, he had come out of retirement on Jiang Yunhu’s invitation.
All of a sudden, the three famous Grand Masters came out of retirement and stirred up a massive whirlwind in Lunan City.
“My goodness, when did our Lunan City have three hidden Grand Masters?”
All the cultivators were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo had such astonishing connections that they were able to invite three old Grand Masters to deal with Lu Yu.
Facing these three ruthless characters, Lu Yu was probably doomed.
At the same time, on the City Lord’s Office’s side, Yan Hong was also shocked. He did not expect that the two dojos were able to secure such impressive external help.
“Oh, how interesting.”
A meaningful smile appeared on Lord Ying’s face. He tapped his fingers on the table with a playful expression.
