"But before the great battle, Yan Kuangtu had already refined four Wuji Immortal Pills and reached the half-step Earth Immortal realm in cultivation."
Even when facing the combined attack of all the top experts of the Song Dynasty, Yan Kuangtu remained fearless and swept across all directions.
That battle was earth-shattering, a bloodbath, and countless martial arts masters from the Song Dynasty were killed or wounded, their blood almost staining the entire Wuyi Mountain red.
Legend has it that in the Battle of Wuyi Mountain, various factions joined forces to defeat Yan Kuangtu.
but it is not the truth.
With Yan Kuangtu's strength, he is not afraid of being surrounded by many experts, and he can at least escape.
The only person who truly caused his downfall was Li Chenzhou.
When Yan Kuangtu saw Li Chenzhou also appear in the group surrounding him, his heart instantly collapsed.
Everyone knows that Li Chenzhou is Yan Kuangtu's most prized protégé and a core figure in the Power Gang.
But no one knew that there was another layer of relationship between Li Chenzhou and Yan Kuangtu.
He was Yan Kuangtu's only biological son.
Li Chenzhou's mother died when he was young. Yan Kuangtu was obsessed with martial arts and didn't care about him. He only taught him some basic martial arts techniques and then left him to fend for himself.
Later, Yan Kuangtu realized his mistake and was too ashamed to admit the relationship, so he could only keep it a secret.
So when Yan Kuangtu saw the look of hatred in Li Chenzhou's eyes, a look that seemed to want nothing more than to kill him, he realized how big a mistake he had made.
It was precisely because his mental state was shattered and his martial arts cultivation declined sharply that he gave everyone the opportunity to force him off the cliff.
But Yan Kuangtu is still Yan Kuangtu. Even though he was seriously injured but didn't die, he hid away to heal.
Now, his injuries and skills have been fully recovered, and he has once again stepped into the half-step Earth Immortal Realm.
He will return to the martial world once he breaks through to the realm of terrestrial immortals.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
No one could believe their ears.
What did they hear?
Is Yan Kuangtu still alive?
Those martial arts figures of the Song Dynasty who could remain calm while Xiao Qiushui was still alive are now in complete panic.
The fact that Yan Kuangtu is alive is completely different from the fact that Xiao Qiushui is alive!
Xiao Qiushui was already invincible when he traveled the martial arts world, and then disappeared without a trace.
But Yan Kuangtu is different.
He was once killed by a combined attack of masters from the entire martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, a fact witnessed by countless people.
The Battle of Wuyi Mountain was a battle worthy of being recorded in the annals of martial arts history.
That was an unprecedented unity in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, as they fought together against Yan Kuangtu.
The battle was so fierce that it was unprecedented in the world, causing the loss of almost half of the masters in the martial arts world, and severely damaging the martial arts world as a result.
Many veteran masters still take pride in having participated in that great battle and tell everyone they meet about their experience.
But now Su Chen tells them that Yan Kuangtu is still alive.
Moreover, he has already recovered to the level of a half-step Earth Immortal. Once he breaks through to the level of a Land Immortal, he will reappear in the martial world.
This is no small matter.
There were so many legends about Yan Kuangtu back then that everyone knows about him to this day.
If such a formidable villain were to reappear, who wouldn't be afraid?
What's even more shocking is another secret that Su Chen revealed.
The current leader of the Power Gang, known as "The Emperor of the World" Li Chenzhou, who is hailed as the future leader of the Jianghu in the Song Dynasty, is actually Yan Kuangtu's biological son!
It's worth noting that Li Chenzhou played a crucial role in the Battle of Wuyishan back then.
He not only betrayed Yan Kuangtu with the help of the Power Gang, but also personally devised a plan to encircle and annihilate him.
Who would have thought that there was such a relationship between Yan Kuangtu and Li Chenzhou?
Immediately, the hall was filled with discussion, and various voices rose and fell:
"My God! Did I hear that right? Yan Kuangtu is still alive?"
"This is terrifying! Yan Kuangtu was known as the number one madman in the Song Dynasty. He even dared to break into the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion and make a mess of it. If he comes back, all the major sects will suffer."
"Immortal Tianji isn't joking, is he? I personally participated in the Battle of Wuyi Mountain back then. I saw with my own eyes that Yan Kuangtu was covered in blood, and his internal organs were shattered. How could he still be alive?"
"Now the world is truly in chaos. Back then, all the sects of the martial arts world participated in the Battle of Wuyi Mountain. If Yan Kuangtu returns, I'm afraid no one will escape his revenge."
"So that's how it is. What truly led to Yan Kuangtu's defeat back then was Li Chenzhou's betrayal. How pitiful are the hearts of parents everywhere."
"Is Li Chenzhou Yan Kuangtu's biological son, or did he drive Yan Kuangtu to the brink of despair? This plot is too bizarre!"
"I can imagine the huge uproar these words will cause when they get back."
The fifth private room on the east side of the thirteenth floor.
Li Chenzhou's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Yan Kuangtu was actually his father?
The news struck him like a bolt of lightning, leaving him completely stunned.
The name seemed to be etched into his bones; he could never forget it.
He grew up by Yan Kuangtu's side since he was a child. It was Yan Kuangtu who led him onto the path of martial arts and also allowed him to stand out in the Power Gang.
But Yan Kuangtu ultimately died because of his betrayal.
But over the years, he has never regretted his choice.
In his view, Yan Kuangtu was neither a good master nor a good leader.
His skills were all acquired through his own hard work, and the Power Gang could only truly become powerful under his leadership.
Even if he was branded as a traitor to his sect and the gang leader, he never wavered.
But at this moment, his heart began to waver.
Chapter 139 Casting
Memories of his past with Yan Kuangtu flooded his mind.
Only now did he realize that his master, Yan Kuangtu, was not as strict with him as he was with his other fellow disciples; on the contrary, he was quite lenient.
Yan Kuangtu may not be qualified to be the gang leader, but he handed over the entire power gang to him without hesitation.
In the past, he always took this for granted.
However, he finally understood that he had been receiving special treatment from Yan Kuangtu all along.
Two streams of hot tears silently slid down his cheeks.
He could imagine the immense pain Yan Kuangtu must have felt when he learned of his betrayal.
But Yan Kuangtu was, after all, a powerful figure in the martial arts world, and he quickly regained his composure, his eyes revealing determination.
Yan Kuangtu has offended many sects in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty and has long been despised by everyone.
If he reappears, the various factions in the martial arts world will definitely join forces to deal with him in order to protect themselves.
This time, he vowed never to disappoint his master, Yan Kuangtu, again.
In the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Sikong Zhaixing chuckled and teased, "Interesting. That great demon Yan Kuangtu is still alive. This is going to be quite a show."
"Therefore, there are too many secrets hidden in the martial arts world. Only when the crucial moment comes will everyone suddenly realize them."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed softly, the commentary on the Ming Dynasty's "Unparalleled Masters" list coming to mind.
The martial arts world of the Song Dynasty faces the threat of Yan Kuangtu's resurgence, while the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is also facing the reappearance of figures like Pang Ban and Guan Yutian.
"I hope that the righteous faction of the Song Dynasty can also have a force to resist."
"After all, Yan Kuangtu is not truly invincible; he is only ranked eighth on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Song Dynasty."
Hua Manlou spoke slowly.
Everyone nodded in agreement and looked towards Bai Yutai, eagerly awaiting Su Chen's next comments.
Standing on the white jade platform, Su Chen did not deliberately delay. He scanned the entire audience and announced loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Ranked seventh on the list of unparalleled masters, the Three Elders of Leisure!"
"The Three Elders of Xiaoyao are not one person, but three people: Wu Xingyun, Wu Yazi, and Li Qiushui."
"The reason why the three of them can be listed together is not only because their cultivation levels are similar, but also because of another important reason."
"That means they all come from the same sect—the Free and Unfettered Sect, a cultivation sect hidden in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty."
Before Su Chen could finish speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
The seventh place on the list is surprisingly held by three people, and they are all from the same sect!
This is truly shocking.
Keep in mind that those ranked behind them are former martial arts masters like Yan Kuangtu, Xiao Qiushui, and Wang Chongyang.
The Three Elders of Xiaoyao are ranked even higher than them, which shows how strong they are.
What's even more surprising is another secret that Su Chen revealed.
It turns out that the Three Elders of Xiaoyao came from a secluded immortal cultivation sect!
The heroes of the Song Dynasty's martial arts world were immediately excited.
Although Su Chen had said before that the martial arts world of each dynasty had a foundation in cultivation.
However, no one in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty has ever publicly mentioned the existence of cultivators.
Now, upon suddenly hearing about a reclusive sect called the Free and Unfettered Sect, they were naturally overjoyed.
