Chapter 164: The Eve of War (2)
Ning Yiwu turned around, "It was all some digression just now, now let's talk about business, you have left the Divine Sword Sect since you were eleven years old, and you must know many characters in the past twelve years!"
Ning Hongyuan said: "Who does my father want to ask?"
"Shadowless Old Man, what kind of person do you think he is?" Ning Yiwu suddenly asked.
"He can successfully launch a coup d'Γ©tat and overthrow the old man with white eyebrows, he must have a certain popularity, which shows his charm, when the first sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was alive, he once destroyed many rebels for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and also made great military achievements, once led five thousand warriors to defeat the "Tianxuanzong" The 50,000 army shows its ability to lead troops, and when he attacked my Divine Sword Sect, although he was defeated, the entire left army was not defeated, and he did not flee to the middle army and the right army. β
Ning Yiwu was relieved, patted Ning Hongyuan's shoulder, and smiled, "It seems that you don't understand these things, you said to your father before, saying that you don't understand scheming, you only know how to practice swords, and you only know how to defeat opponents in duels, how do you understand these things now?"
Ning Hongyuan touched his head and felt ashamed, "I didn't want to tell my father before, just because I felt that this kind of bloody struggle was too deceitful, and I used good words to describe it, called it strategizing, and to describe it in bad words, it was actually intrigue, I used to aspire to be a lonely swordsman, and I dreamed of being like my grandfather in the past, practicing swordsmanship wholeheartedly, going to other martial arts planes, seeking a higher level of power, and yearning for that kind of blood, but now that I think about it, it is actually an irresponsible attitude." β
Ning Yiwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, why do you have such a feeling?"
Ning Hongyuan said: "How chaotic is this heavenly domain, how the people's hearts are in turmoil, it is always my ancestral land, and I must never forget my roots as a man Hunting, seeing that the whole family had no prey to cook, I gave them some money to buy bows and arrows for hunting and self-sufficiency, but when I came back from the forest, the three brothers turned against each other, although I was surprised at the time, thinking that this was just an individual phenomenon, and did not pay much attention to it, until I kept going south and north, and found that this was not an isolated phenomenon, so the child was tired of these troubled people's hearts!"
"You think these people are disgusting, don't you?"
Ning Hongyuan felt ashamed, "That's true, the child is ashamed." β
Ning Yiwu looked at the sky full of stars, and said: "But in this troubled era, such a person occupies the bottom of the entire Martial Realm Pyramid, can you sit idly by?
Ning Yiwu said this, turned his head, and faced Ning Hongyuan, "Do you know the history of my Ning clan?"
Ning Hongyuan said: "The child's pupil technique has not reached the realm of being able to read the ancestral stone tablet, but I have just heard some rumors. β
"You have also grown up, and your mind is far more mature than I imagined, these things should also tell you, my Ning clan is one of the eight clans of the ancient Shenxia, once in order to guard this piece of heaven, the eight clans worked together to resist the strong enemy, and later our Ning clan chose to stay in order to guard the heavenly realm from being attacked by people from other martial realm planes, and the remaining seven clans led their respective clansmen to leave this "Shenxia plane" in order to investigate other martial realm planes , Time is still the same, many things are no longer recalled, except for the Qin clan, many people have returned to this leased land, and the other six clans have long been unknown, and now they have become like this!"
Ning Hongyuan suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder Yu'er's mother sent Yu'er to this place." β
"Later, because of the difference of opinion of my Ning clan, there are always some people in each generation who choose to leave the Heavenly Domain, and some choose to stay in the Heavenly Domain, the years have passed, and there has been such an estrangement from generation to generation, and the once glorious clan has become what it is today, plus the remaining powerhouses of the Martial Realm Plane came to this "Shenxia Plane" to avoid disasters in order to avoid some vendettas and disasters, and their descendants have become another part of the people, and all kinds of reasons have taken together to become what they are today, and because the unified generation of martial arts is not as good as the generation. β
Ning Hongyuan was surprised, "Why is it that one generation is not as good as the next? This is not in line with common sense! It should be that one generation is stronger than the next! This is in line with the law of historical development, could it be that the martial realm world is very special!"
Ning Yiwu was extremely patient and said, "Do you know the bloodline?"
"Bloodline? Father is saying that this generation is not as good as the first generation and has anything to do with this?"
Ning Hongyuan suddenly recalled the words of the Demon Venerable at this moment, and slowly understood a little.
"Let me tell you this, among the sons of a sword saint, it is inevitable that there will be people who are greedy for pleasure and cannot inherit all the bloodlines of their father! This bloodline cannot be inherited if you want to, you must make unremitting efforts, even if you are lazy for a day, not only to practice swords and martial arts during the day, but also to study all kinds of ancient books at night, what a lot of effort it takes! Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is born to endure such torture, and there are always some people who are lazy and miss the golden time for martial arts.
"Therefore, the son of this sword saint will inevitably not become a sword saint, and even at the peak of the period, at best, he is only the sword king, and this kind of lazy generation accounts for the vast majority, and the son born to this sword king, there are so many people who are greedy for pleasure because of the results brought by their fathers, and the son of the sword king finally became a swordsman, so it is calculated, the true source of the bloodline is getting weaker and weaker, and it cannot reach the peak at all, unless there is an extremely rare possibility, the Shen Hongyue you met before, that is this possibility!"
"Blood Sacrifice Inheritance!" Ning Hongyuan blurted out.
"That's right, the blood sacrifice inheritance has inherited all the martial realm inheritances of the ancient patriarch, this is a bloodline mutation! I think that the ancestor of my Ning clan back then was the Sword Saint Venerable, and when I came to this patriarch, hey, the past is unbearable!" At this point, Ning Yiwu looked up to the sky and sighed.
"So that's the case, it's no wonder that Miss Shen Hongyue was able to reach the realm of the ghost master level at such a young age, and even reached the eighth rank of the ghost master, it's really amazing!" Ning Hongyuan exclaimed.
"This also requires a certain chance, she is burdened with the hatred of the clan, and has stimulated the power of the bloodline, speaking of which, I will tell you a funny story, which also happened in the past less than three years, there was once a martial artist who personally destroyed the people of his own clan in order to forcibly obtain this blood sacrifice inheritance, and finally delusionally wanted to open this bloodline power, but it turned out to be useless, not to mention that people's hearts were so confused that it was outrageous, so do you know that he couldn't open the bloodline governance, what is the reason?"
"Why is that?" Ning Hongyuan asked curiously.
"Emotion!" replied Ning Yiwu sonorously.
"Emotion, what's going on?" Ning Hongyuan asked with a dumbfounded eye.
"Yes, emotion, hatred is based on love, the deeper the love for the clan, the deeper the hatred for the enemy, emotion is the only indicator to stimulate the power of the bloodline, the reason why that stupid and arrogant man will fail is nothing more than that he has no love for the clansman at all, so he can't inspire hatred, God is very fair to us martial arts cultivators, and will not let such a mad person succeed!"
Ning Hongyuan said: "So that's the case!"
"I'll talk about these things later, in fact, our Ning clan still has a lot of secrets, and I kept them secret from you before, it's just that you were too young, worried that you wouldn't be able to keep your mouth shut, but now that you have grown up, you should know that these secrets are not something that can be said at will!" Ning Yiwu patted Ning Hongyuan's shoulder and said like this.
Ning Hongyuan thanked him with both hands, "This child naturally knows this, please rest assured father." β
Ning Yiwu turned his head, "Three days later, our Divine Sword Sect is about to face a disaster, an inevitable disaster!"
Ning Hongyuan said: "Father means that the shadowless old man took advantage of all the elders in the martial realm test conference to launch a surprise attack on my Divine Sword Sect?"
"You are getting smarter and smarter, you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! Since you know so much, what should this shadowless old man after taking power, really lead troops to raid my Divine Sword Sect as we guessed?"
"The soldiers and horses have not been able to do it, diplomacy first! The Ten Thousand Swords Sect came prepared this time, in fact, our Divine Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have political disagreements with each other, and there will be a feud between them before! It's just that I never thought that this big war would come so quickly. β
"Diplomacy first, what do you mean by that?" Ning Yiwu raised his eyebrows.
Ning Hongyuan said: "The military strength of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect is twice that of my Divine Sword Sect, although his rear is unstable, but where the military war begins, this rear instability will not be revealed!"
"Why?"
"I have read many famous wars in the past, and whenever the rear is judged, it must be caused by the defeat of the battle at the front, and it has never been said that the side that broke out in the war lost in the rear at the beginning, this phenomenon has never been seen before!"
Ning Yiwu was also a person who had read the "ancient books of war" and pondered carefully, "This is really the truth! You are really careful in reading!"
Ning Hongyuan said: "Our Divine Sword Sect will definitely fall into a vicious battle at the beginning, and only when the two sides are deadlocked, can the rear of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect be defeated!"
Ning Yiwu was surprised, "Then what do you mean by saying that diplomacy comes first? Could it be that there are still people in this Heavenly Domain who will help our Divine Sword Sect succeed? They want us two tigers to fight and the fisherman to profit, this is the mentality of normal people, how can they get involved in the struggle between us?"
"One, no one will sit and watch the Ten Thousand Swords Sect become bigger, because the Shadowless Old Man has just sat down in his seat, and everyone is still unclear about his political line, and they will definitely inertly think that the Shadowless Old Man dares to start a war so rashly, and the political line must still be dictatorial, which is different from the political proposition of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so that once they sit and watch the Ten Thousand Swords Sect become bigger, they will definitely suffer in the future. β
