Chapter 99: The Deeper Misunderstanding

In the scene, it’s unclear what exactly happened between the two people, but at this moment, everyone witnessed it with their own eyes.

Hu Wanquan suddenly made a move, knocking out Yu Tieshan with a single blow. Just a moment ago, the two seemed to be talking and laughing amiably.

This was odd to everyone. After all, from what they had seen in the previous scenes, Hu Wanquan seemed like a very kind person.

No, calling him highly esteemed wouldn’t be an overstatement. Even after Ye Xuan did such outrageous things, he didn’t utterly destroy Ye Xuan.

The onlookers thought to themselves that if they were in his place, they certainly wouldn’t have easily let Ye Xuan off the hook. Hu Wanquan, with such noble conduct, how could he possibly attack someone stealthily?

Could it be that Yu Tieshan said something to anger Hu Wanquan?

Thinking about it, Yu Tieshan didn’t seem like a good person. Some thought about this but didn’t dare to be certain, while others spoke their thoughts out loud.

“It must be that Yu Tieshan said something offensive to Hu Wanquan.”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it?”

“Definitely. Otherwise, why would he suddenly attack his own junior brother? Yu Tieshan, to be honest, doesn’t seem like a good person. Perhaps he said something that provoked Hu Wanquan.”

“That makes sense.”

The people of Jade Fox Palace reasoned among themselves, but their gazes were tightly fixed on the scene. It was clear that they didn’t really believe what they were saying. After all, a person suddenly attacking stealthily seemed quite suspicious.

——

In the scene, Ye Xuan suddenly saw Hu Wanquan knocking out his master with a palm strike and was shocked.

He was about to take action, but then thought to himself that even though he didn’t know the current situation, his master had already been knocked out by his senior brother with a single blow.

Given that his own martial arts skills were far inferior to his senior brother’s, he probably couldn’t stop anything and decided to wait and see, possibly taking action depending on the situation.

As Hu Wanquan knocked Yu Tieshan unconscious, he looked around guiltily and then carried Yu Tieshan away from the Hu residence.

Hu Wanquan, known as the Invincible Iron Sword, was also extraordinary in lightness skill. Carrying a person, he seemed to fly, quickly covering a hundred yards in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xuan didn’t dare to follow too closely and cautiously trailed behind. Fortunately, Ye Xuan’s lightness skill was also not bad, and he could barely keep up.

After traveling an unknown distance, Hu Wanquan brought Yu Tieshan to a deserted hill outside the city.

Ye Xuan followed behind and hid behind a tree, looking ahead. He saw Hu Wanquan striking Yu Tieshan with a burst of energy, waking him from unconsciousness.

“Senior brother… why did you suddenly knock me out?!!” After waking up, Yu Tieshan looked innocent and asked Hu Wanquan.

“Hmph–!!!” Hu Wanquan coldly snorted and said,

“Junior brother, do you really not understand why I suddenly knocked you out?

“All these years, why have you been avoiding me, don’t you have any idea? Well, let me remind you. Initially, when the master was suddenly murdered, his ultimate skill, the Banished Sword Manual, also went missing–!!!”

“Uh… Senior brother, are you still misunderstanding what happened back then? I already explained to you, I didn’t kill master, and I didn’t steal the Banished Immortal Sword Manual–!!!” Yu Tieshan hurriedly explained to Hu Wanquan, feeling anxious.

“Killed the master? The Banished Immortal Sword Manual?–!!!”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically.

What was going on?

——

“The Banished Immortal Sword Manual…”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace also pondered, “This sword manual’s name sounds familiar.” Someone said.

“This was the sword technique of the Sword Immortal Li Mubai.” At this moment, a male immortal from the Jade Fox Palace spoke, “Once, Li Mubai relied on the Banished Immortal Sword Technique to become renowned in the cultivation world and even had the fortune to become a candidate for the Emperor’s Sword.”

“Unfortunately, he was defeated by a certain Saint Emperor long ago in the struggle for the Emperor’s Sword. Since then, there has been no news of him. Unexpectedly, we are hearing about the Banished Immortal Sword Manual here.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace widened their eyes and looked towards the scene in the painting. The Banished Immortal Sword Technique?

They never expected that two minor martial artists would have the chance to come across such a thing. Moreover, from their conversation, it seemed that the Banished Immortal Sword Manual belonged to their master.

Did Yu Tieshan kill their master and steal the manual?!

“I knew it… This Ye Xuan’s master doesn’t seem like a good person. I can’t believe he committed such acts of killing his master and betraying his ancestors!”

“For just a mere immortal technique, is it worth it?!!”

“It’s worth it, of course it’s worth it.” The male immortal from the Jade Fox Palace said, “The past is different from now. Nowadays, all cultivation sects widely accept disciples, and those famous immortal techniques are taught to their disciples.”

“As long as one has enough talent, even if you want to learn a sect’s forbidden techniques, no one will stop you. For the common people in the past, an immortal technique was priceless, worth a fortune.”

“Therefore, immortal sword techniques like the Banished Immortal Sword Technique were probably something that common people would do anything to get.”

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Tieshan in the painting with even more disdain.

“Haha, I knew right from the start that this Ye Xuan’s master wasn’t a good person. His face doesn’t look like that of a good person at all.”

“Exactly–!!!”

“Looking at the situation, Hu Wanquan must have obtained solid evidence to take action against Yu Tieshan.”

“Of course. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would wrongly accuse his junior brother.”

“Ye Xuan and his master, neither of them are good people. It’s rare that Yuling’er, who has lived with them since childhood, is still so naive and kind.”

While everyone was discussing…

——

Inside the painting, hearing Yu Tieshan’s explanation, Hu Wanquan sneered and said, “Junior brother, do you think I, your senior brother, would take action against you without solid evidence to prove whether you have committed the act of killing our master and stealing the manual?!”

——

“He indeed has evidence.”

Everyone nodded, showing a hint of smugness as if to say, “See, I guessed right.”

“It looks like it must have been Yu Tieshan who killed the master and stole the secret manual.”

Then, they turned to Ye Xuan with a look of contempt.

Ye Xuan: Continued to be proud, waiting for the reversal to come and let them enjoy it enough.
