Chapter 769: The Seal of the Dragon
Shi Yanwen is not only a Confucian hero, but also a white devil, and a person of profound wisdom.
Xiao Yuer understood the truth, he understood it all, and he understood it more deeply. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become the second-in-command of the Invisible Man Organization with just one meeting.
Lu Ping looked at Xiao Yuer, wanting to confirm another thing from him.
"According to what you just said, every time the Invisible Man leaves the Nameless Island and returns to Southern Martial Arts Forest to carry out a mission, he will give himself another identity."
"Then Shi Yanwen's identity is..."
Xiao Yuer replied: "The Hero of Heaven, Holy Sword, Bai Yangsheng!"
Upon hearing this name, Jian Wuji and Xueshan Yinyan were both stunned, and then exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah?! My father is actually the Holy Sword Bai Yangsheng?!"
"What? He is the person on the Suzaku Heavenly Ranking?!"
Lu Ping showed an expression of not having expected it: "As expected!"
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and all looked at Lu Ping and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Ping had no choice but to explain the whole story to them: "At the beginning, Shi Yanwen must have discovered from various things that happened in the martial arts world that someone was behind the plot, but he couldn't come forward in person, so he used this identity."
"He once approached Lu Xiaofeng and asked him to help investigate Xuan Zhixuan."
"However, after an in-depth investigation, we found that Xuan Zhixuan did not use the Shangtong Society to do anything bad. Instead, he commanded a group of chivalrous men to do many good things for the martial arts world. So he simply stopped showing up and chose to take the opportunity to retire from the martial arts world."
Jian Wuji was puzzled and asked again: "Retire from the martial arts world? Why?"
Lu Ping replied, "He had already retired at first, and the reason he came back to form the Hundred Martial Arts Association was to deal with the disaster after the loss of the earth's energy."
"Now this problem has been solved, and after the fall of the Suzaku Dynasty, the martial arts world has entered a new era. The Hundred Martial Arts Association has even transformed into the Shangtong Association. Naturally, there is no need for him to appear again."
As the old saying goes: In the new era of martial arts, there is no force that can support him.
“You are right, but…”
Jian Wuji scratched his head and said, "But, do you really have to retreat so completely that you didn't even come out to help when the demon world invaded?"
When the demon world invaded, Shi Yanwen did not show up, but Jian Wuji and Xueshan Yinyan did contribute, and they even each took down one of the Seven Vanguards.
Xue Shan Yin Yan said, "Since you are retiring, you must do it completely!"
“There are so many masters and heroes in the martial arts world. Even if my father is gone, or even Lu Ping is gone, as long as the remaining people can unite, they can still defeat the demon world!”
"He has been the 'Shi Yanwen' of the underworld all his life. Now that he is so old, can't he be an ordinary husband and father again?"
Compared to letting Shi Yanwen run around in the martial arts world day after day and be 'Shi Yanwen' of the world, Xue Shan Yin Yan would rather see Shi Yanwen stay at home to accompany Liu Xuan Gu.
As soon as these words were spoken, Jian Wuji and Xiao Yuer looked at Snow Mountain Silver Swallow in surprise.
"I never thought that a rough guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes could say such delicate words..."
Xue Shan Yin Yan immediately showed dissatisfaction: "I'm just slow-witted, not an emotional idiot!"
Lu Ping nodded secretly.
Indeed, whether it is family, friendship or love, Xueshan Yinyan is the most experienced and devoted one among the three brothers of the Shi family. The other two brothers cannot compare with him at all.
It’s a pity that Shi Yanwen is not the kind of person who would choose to stay at home with his wife just because he thinks the heroes can defeat the demons and not show up to help.
The reason why he didn't show up when the demon world invaded was because he was not in Nanwulin at that time, but in the South China Sea, on this nameless island. "It's not that Master doesn't want to help resist the demon world, but he has more important things to do."
"whats the matter?"
"Maintain the seal of the dragon."
Xiao Yuer explained: "You should have heard that there is a dragon sleeping for a thousand years on the Nameless Island that is about to appear in the world?"
"I heard that the news was spread by a man named Emperor Shitian."
Xue Shan Yin Yan said: "Because of this information, many people in the martial arts world have come to this island to obtain the dragon essence from the dragon. Even we came here for this purpose."
"From what you said, could it be that the things related to the Shenlong and Long Yuan are true?"
Xiao Yu'er smacked his lips: "Nine true and one false."
"How to say?"
Lu Ping was also very curious about how true or false this information could be.
"According to the old man, the dragon was not dormant for a thousand years, but was suppressed for a thousand years..."
The 'old man' that Xiao Yuer mentioned is the little old man Wu Ming.
It turned out that decades ago, he discovered that there was an ancient, sealed secret place under the island.
Based on the remaining relics and the records in some ancient books, he made some speculations about the origin of the seal, but the clues were too scattered to be integrated or confirmed.
In order to facilitate research, he built an Unknown Island here, created the Invisible Man Organization, and distributed his men to various forces in the world, collecting intelligence, martial arts secrets, and making money.
However, due to long-term fruitless archaeological work, he finally had to give up the archaeological activity, and the force of the Invisible Man gradually transformed.
"However, some time ago, the demon world opened up and the earth's energy became chaotic, causing the seal to loosen."
Lu Ping fell silent.
It turns out that I was the one who created this mess!
"In order to prevent the dragon from escaping and causing unrest in the martial arts world, the old man specially asked Master and Senior Yan Tuolong to stay there and temporarily stabilize the seal."
Yan Tuolong is here too?That’s true. After all, there are not many masters of magic that Shi Yanwen can find.
No wonder when the demon world invaded, he, the descendant of the demon family, did not show up from beginning to end...
However, if the divine dragon wants to break the seal, can Shi Yanwen and Yan Tuolong alone stabilize the seal?
When Lu Ping heard the news, he felt incredible.
But on second thought, in the original drama, Shi Yanwen was able to keep the fairy island from splitting by himself, so it doesn't seem surprising that he can maintain the seal of the dragon now.
Xue Shan Yin Yan asked, "If that's the case, how did Emperor Shi Tian know that the dragon was going to break the seal? Could he also be from this island?"
Xiao Yuer spread his hands and said, "I have never heard of this person on the island. Even the old man said he has never seen him. I am not sure how this person knew about it."
Lu Ping had already guessed what was going on: "Emperor Shitian has lived for so long, he must have known about the seal of the dragon. Moreover, he has swallowed the wind blood, so he should have sensed the loosening of the seal through the connection between the divine beasts."
This kind of thing is feasible, just like Lu Ping possesses the power of the Vermillion Bird, so after going to other martial arts worlds, he can establish inexplicable connections with other five-star masters.
"Come on, take us to that seal!"
