Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 548: Coming from the Void

Bai Yujing, Liu Changjie, Ding Xi and others were still confronting Gong Jiu in the famous hall without saying a word, and the atmosphere was tense.

In the secret passage, Su Weiyun and the old man had already walked to the strange door.

"Thank you."

After the old man arrived at the door, the first sentence he said to Su Weiyun was this.

Su Weiyun asked: "Thank me for what?"

The old man sighed and said, "Thank you for agreeing to my bet."

Su Weiyun said: "No need to thank me, your bet is very tempting, why shouldn't I bet with you?"

The old man said, "You didn't have to bet with me."

Su Weiyun said: "You didn't have to bet with me. You and Gong Jiu set off on a boat and arrived in your own kingdom. No one can do anything to you."

The old man said, "That's not what I want."

Su Weiyun asked: "What do you want?"

"I want Gong Jiu to become a qualified emperor. And this room contains the things I have been preparing for many years to educate him!"

The old man said firmly: "So I must come back!"

——“Education” Gong Jiu.

——Why did the old man want to “educate” Gong Jiu?

——What else can “educate” Gong Jiu?

——There seemed to be some secrets between this pair of master and disciple that were unknown to others.

The old man suddenly asked: "Do you want to know why I chose Gong Jiu and trained him to be the emperor instead of others?"

Su Weiyun said: "Because his martial arts talent is unique, because of his identity as the Prince of Taiping?"

The old man said: "This is only the second point. There is also the most important point."

Su Weiyun asked: "What is it?"

The old man said, "It's because of his wild nature."

"Gong Jiu has a kind of wildness that most people don't have."

The old man then said, "Actually, that's not the case. Maybe each of us has it, but Gong Jiu just developed it."

Su Weiyun frowned and thought.

The old man continued, "We are human, but in fact, in a very, very distant time, we also ate raw meat and drank blood, and fought against beasts. From this point of view, there is no essential difference between us and wild beasts. In other words, we are also a kind of 'beast', but we are much more advanced than them!"

Su Weiyun understood what he meant.

The old man said slowly: "If that's the case, our ancestors fought and survived from ancient times, then we should have inherited the wildness and instincts of wild beasts."

"And yet I feel like most people seem to have lost that."

Su Weiyun finally said: "Because most people no longer need this, because we humans understand friendship, mutual assistance, how to use wisdom to defeat force, and how to agree on order to quell chaos!"

A gleam of approval suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, even more dazzling than the night pearl embedded next to it.

"You said it well! It's really good! But for an individual, if he can master this wonderful instinct and inherit the blood of his ancestors, his martial arts will definitely undergo a fundamental change!"

The old man said word by word: "The reason why I trained Gong Jiu is to understand this magical change!"

Su Weiyun suddenly fell silent.

The old man continued, "The martial arts of you and me have reached a level that has never been achieved before and will never be surpassed. However, do you know that if you go one step further, there are even deeper mysteries, reaching up to the mysterious heavens, penetrating the netherworld, the three mountains and five peaks, and the void. Gods are not always fixed!"

"I have been reading sage books since I was young, so it is difficult for me to understand what that kind of 'wildness' is. So I need the help of Gong Jiu to understand it."

The old man said, "I guess, as long as I can perfectly combine savagery and rationality, maybe I can reach that supreme realm!"

After a long time, Su Weiyun said, "Maybe there is another way."

The old man said firmly: "But this is the road I am on!"

Su Weiyun said slowly: "However, Gong Jiu cannot become the emperor, he will harm the people!"

The old man showed a very strange look in his eyes and said, "I think Bai Yujing should have told you my philosophy of governing the country."

Su Weiyun said: "You want to naturalize foreigners by peaceful means."

The old man said: "Since ancient times, countless wise men have proved that it is extremely difficult to convert foreigners without using weapons."

He added calmly, "But have you ever thought that if I can tame even the 'beasts', what does it mean to naturalize foreigners?"

Su Weiyun sighed when he heard this and said no more.

The words are finished.

All that needed to be said had been said.

The two stood facing each other in silence for a long time. Finally, the old man turned around.

He stood in front of the door, took out the jade disk, and slowly placed it into a groove.

The diamond door immediately began to rotate, gradually emitting infinite light, appearing mysterious and beautiful, making people feel as if they were in the deep ocean where no one was.

The door opened.

What is it like inside?

What kind of house is it that could make an old man come back at the risk of his life?

The old man finally stepped in.

"please!"

…

A famous hall.

More than an hour had passed since the old man and Su Weiyun entered the secret passage.

The hall was filled with masters of all sizes and from all over the world. These masters all knew each other very well, but for more than an hour, they didn't say a word.

Ding Xi and Xiao Ma should have asked why Miss Wang came.

But they didn't ask.

Yang Zheng should have also asked Duan Yu and Hua Huafeng whether they had also arrived on the island.

But he didn't ask.

Liu Changjie wanted to ask whether they should gather the strength of so many masters and kill Gong Jiu directly here to prevent future troubles.

But he still didn't ask.

Everyone held their breath and waited silently, waiting for the outcome of the battle down in the secret passage.

No one went down to check.

Because they all knew that no matter who went down, they would not see Su Weiyun; even if they saw him, it would only cause him unnecessary distraction.

Bai Yujing was also silent.

He suddenly felt a nervousness he had never felt before.

He was worried about Su Weiyun.

Should we really let Su Weiyun take on that battle?

"I...I should try to persuade him."

Bai Yujing suddenly sighed.

Gong Jiu kept staring at Bai Yujing, as if he wanted to find something in him that was completely different from himself.

After hearing Bai Yujing sigh, he suddenly said, "You should try to persuade him."

Bai Yujing suddenly raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gong Jiu said: "Before Wu Ming went down the secret passage, he reserved a trick for me to prevent Liu Changjie from attacking me together with you guys."

Lu Xiaofeng said sternly: "But we won't do anything to you. Wu Ming will keep his word, and so will we."

His tone was not only full of trustworthiness, but also full of trust in Su Weiyun and his friends.

Gong Jiu continued to speak to himself: "The trick he left for me is a trap."

Liu Changjie felt something was wrong and asked, "What is this?"

Gong Jiu said: "Destroy the mechanism of the famous palace!"

His figure suddenly flew out!

boom!

Dust filled the air and debris flew everywhere!

The earth shook, the world trembled, and a deafening sound rumbled!

In just a short moment, the four square beams and pillars of the famous hall began to shake continuously, and the walls tilted as if there was a huge earthquake.

"Are you crazy?"

“Run!”

"Gong Jiu, you lunatic!"

“…”

Shouts and curses came from different people, not only from Bai Yujing's side, but even the people brought by the old man, they were also cursing Gong Jiu!

Gong Jiu flew far away, with indescribable excitement in his eyes, and laughed loudly towards the sky: "Wu Ming, you still can't control me after all!"

"Let's go!"

"go out!"

“…”

Fortunately, it would not take an instant for such a huge palace to collapse completely, so everyone used their lightness skills to fly out of the hall.

Long Wu, whose acupoints were pressed, was also picked up by Ye Gucheng, and they flew past him low, and they left the famous hall together!

Bang!

After everyone flew out, a few breaths later, they watched the famous hall collapse with a loud bang. Countless copper pillars, golden tiles, pearl curtains and silver lamps all fell heavily to the ground!

In the blink of an eye, this place has become a ruin.

The situation outside was not much better. After the devastation caused by the fire, the nameless island was reduced to scorched earth.

Scorched earth and ruins, flames and collapse.

The peaceful, prosperous and idyllic nameless island had become like this in just over ten days.

Gong Jiu hasn't run away yet.

He laughed at the ruins.

Liu Changjie attacked Gong Jiu without reservation, creating seven palm shadows with one hand, and each move was an unparalleled killing move!

It can be seen that Liu Changjie is really angry!

Gong Jiu accepted the challenge while laughing wildly: "You can't kill me. I will soon leave the Nameless Island and return to the Far North to be my own emperor!"

"If you really have nothing to do, you'd better think about how to save your hero Su Weiyun!"

When he said this, Liu Changjie's expression suddenly changed and he stopped.

"This mechanism is activated from bottom to top, and is used to blow up the foundation! Hahahahahahaha! I'm afraid the secret passage under the dragon throne no longer exists!"

Gong Jiu looked crazy, his eyes full of satisfaction, and laughed, "I have buried both Su Weiyun and Wu Ming in there. I heard the secret passage is over a hundred feet deep. Hahahaha, could they break through a hundred feet of stone in one go?"

"They'll never get out!"

Bai Yujing said: "Quick! Wei Ziyun, go to Jiangnan and ask the people from the Thunderbolt Hall to clear the way..."

Before he finished speaking, Gong Jiu sneered again: "By the time you go back and find a way out, Su Weiyun and Wu Ming will have starved to death in there."

Everyone's expression changed at the same time.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, but the smoke from the fire is still there.

The sea water outside the nameless island is still flowing, but what comes with the sea breeze is a breath of despair.

Faced with such a dilemma, everyone was helpless and at a loss as to what to do.

Xiao Ma suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears. He rushed over, found the location of the dragon throne by memory, and used his two hands to move the boulders and dig the soil.

"Come and dig with me. The secret passage is very solidly built and will not necessarily be destroyed!"

Gong Jiu smiled but said nothing.

Ding Xi had already gone over and followed Xiao Ma.

Next came Qiu Fengwu, Yang Zheng, Lu Xiaofeng, Liu Changjie, Ye Gucheng, and the honest monk...

Bai Yujing also joined in. With their profound internal skills and extraordinary strength, these masters quickly reached the dragon throne.

The dragon throne has not been damaged much.

But the passage below him was no longer visible.

As Gong Jiu said, the famous hall and the secret passage underneath were completely destroyed.

Seeing this, Gong Jiu showed a satisfied expression, walked leisurely to the north, and said: "Finally, no one in the world can surpass me anymore."

"Wu Ming, Su Weiyun..."

"goodbye!"

The names "Wu Ming" and "Su Weiyun" sounded particularly bitter and hateful in his mouth, but the word "goodbye" sounded particularly easy.
