Chapter 629: Chapter 277 Emperor Heart Technique_2
“The past is too distant to be recalled.”
The High Priest thought for a moment and said, “To this day, I can only find fragments from the records left behind. The ones who came to our descendants back then were not a large force, but… four individuals.
“The specific names of these four are not detailed in the records.
“All I know is that their Martial Arts were each unique.
“One seemed completely untrained in martial arts, yet could transform into thousands, invisible and intangible, unleashing a killing intent so pervasive that it left no place to hide.
“Another was as cold as ice; when his inner breath spread, it felt like falling into an abyssal glacier.
“Another seemed like the scorching sun, operating in a way that made the sun blaze fiercely across a hundred miles…”
As she spoke to this point, she paused momentarily, unable to help but glance at Su Mo:
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, the Hand Technique you used tonight… it seems, to have originated from this person’s lineage.”
The moment this statement was made, Yang Xiaoyun and Su Mo couldn’t help but feel their hearts shake violently.
A blazing sun high in the sky… blazing across a hundred miles!
Isn’t this description precisely the martial arts of the Ziyang Sect?
Among the four experts who went to the White Tiger Clan in the past, there was a Ziyang Sect disciple?
No, that’s not right…
The Ziyang Sect was actually established only after the fall of the Da Xuan Dynasty.
In that case, the expert who went to the White Tiger Clan back then was either the master of the founder of the Ziyang Sect… or the founder himself!
The moment this thought emerged, Su Mo felt a sudden chill in his heart.
He subconsciously thought of the ancestral remnants within the Pure Yang Hall.
A myriad of thoughts surfaced in his mind, yet they suddenly returned to tranquility.
By comparison, Yang Xiaoyun thought less, and had not displayed any distinct reaction, only hearing Su Mo say:
“The Pure Yang Martial Arts I use are inherited from the Ziyang Sect among the Seven Great Sects of Dongcheng.
“But who is this expert mentioned by the High Priest?”
“I also do not know.”
The High Priest gently shook her head: “These four experts possessed peerless Divine Skills. Except for the last one, who was unfathomably deep and never made a move, whenever the other three acted, it was earth-shattering.
“They declared at Baihu City that they wanted to challenge it.
“They said, although they were people of the court, they ultimately originated from the Jianghu.
“So they didn’t come with armed forces but simply wished to experience the Martial Arts of Baihu City.
“If they were fortunate enough to win a trick or half, the Emperor Heart Technique would be presented to the court.
“The White Tiger Clan would have to completely submit.
“But if they were defeated, they would turn around and leave.
“Once these words were spoken, there was no room left for change.
“However, unexpectedly, our clan’s past experts all came out but could not resist…
“In the end, it had to be the contemporary High Priest who took action.”
She paused here.
Su Mo quietly asked, “What happened afterwards?”
“There was no after… ”
The High Priest frowned: “Records mention, the High Priest fought one against three, battling the three great experts for three days and nights. After that, these four experts left Baihu City, and since then, the Emperor Heart Technique was renamed to the Amber Scripture. Baihu City also declared allegiance to the Da Xuan Dynasty.
“However, the Emperor Heart Technique was not taken away by them, this is also a fact…
“The underlying reasons, to this day, are perhaps no longer known by anyone.”
“I see.”
Su Mo nodded slightly.
The High Priest then managed a rueful smile: “The events of tonight actually have their causes. Our White Tiger City has resided here for generations, never overstepping the bounds with past visitors.
“However, the Chief Steward’s sudden absurd actions tonight were because of another matter… the moment you arrived happened to coincide with our clan’s minor ceremony. And you should also know, in our clan, there is still a major ceremony to be held at year-end.”
Everyone nodded.
They had heard many people discussing it during the daytime.
They knew when the major ceremony was held, the White Tiger Clan would clear all foreign merchants from Baihu City.
Afterward, the city would be closed for seven days to conduct a grand ceremony.
“The major and minor ceremonies are different; the minor ceremony is like you saw today, where the clan members dance and praise the Tiger Lord, and ultimately offer sacrifices to the gods in the Tiger Lord Hall.
“However, the major ceremony requires the use of our clan’s Holy Artifact…
“Yet, our Holy Artifact is also a Divine Weapon of our clan.
“For many years, to protect our Baihu City, it has been repeatedly brought out to repel enemies.
“With time, it has been damaged in many places.
“And not long ago, the Holy Artifact suddenly broke, the clan tried countless methods to repair it, but all were ineffective.
“I scoured the texts, only then realizing that our Holy Artifact was forged from a special material.
“Ordinary iron simply cannot serve as a material for repairs.
“For many days, the clan was distressed, trying all means, but all to no avail.
“Until… hearing about the matter of the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, we then harbored some hope.
“And after Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort arrived in our Baihu City, I also pondered hard on how to persuade Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, to spare some Xinghai Relic Sand Iron.
“For this, our clan could pay any price.
“…But the Chief Steward has a habit of belittling everyone, thinking that obtaining Xinghai Relic Sand Iron from the hands of Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort would just be a matter of flipping his hand.
“That led to tonight’s events.
“Now, regarding the issue of Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, I dare not bring it up again, only hoping that Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort would not blame Baihu City because of the Chief Steward’s actions.”
As she spoke, she bowed deeply, her attitude extremely sincere.
