Chapter 870 - 873: Heroes of Their Times

Master Jian Yin, a renowned figure from the Kingdom of Jin Jian, was as famous as Lady Sang Hai.

After the Kingdom of Jin Jian was destroyed by the Heavenly King Country, Master Jian Yin went into seclusion.

Recently, Master Jian Yin has made a comeback.

His disciple is Lan Xiangzi.

"I recommend Master Jian Yin to lead the army."

"I agree."

"Master Jian Yin is experienced. Only if he leads can we possibly repel the invading forces of the Azure Empire."

"Indeed, I feel the same way."

...Many recommend Master Jian Yin,

and simultaneously, a rumor spread.

"Did you know? The Ancestor of Blood Refinement developed the Art of Blood Refinement thanks to Master Jian Yin’s help."

"I heard that too. Master Jian Yin actually had higher achievements in the Art of Blood Refinement, but his results were stolen, and the thief became the Ancestor of Blood Refinement."

"Really? Is it true or false?"

"I think it’s true. Lately, many people have been saying that the Art of Blood Refinement was actually developed by Master Jian Yin and another person, but the results were completely monopolized by one person. One might say the current Ancestor of Blood Refinement owes a great debt to Master Jian Yin."

In the Xiuyuan Realm, discussion is everywhere. Some say Wu Tian is inexperienced and cannot lead.

Others say that the Ancestor of Blood Refinement is skilled but lacking in character.

Especially since the Art of Blood Refinement was researched together with Master Jian Yin, yet the Ancestor of Blood Refinement alone enjoyed the fruits.

Of course, those guided by Wu Tian chose not to believe.

Some people with ulterior motives also chose not to believe.

But in the world, ignorant people are quite numerous.

Therefore, in the Three Realms, there are many who are misled.

After all, Master Jian Yin is a true elder high master who was prominent in his youth. In his later years, it is natural for people to think he has increased in skill, making it hard to believe he isn’t extraordinary.

Saying he and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement created the Art of Blood Refinement makes it hard not to believe.

Wu Tian, holding the little one and accompanied by Miaoshan and Master Li the Fortune Teller, went to the Royal Palace, also hearing the rumors along the way.

Wu Tian didn’t mind.

No matter who uses malicious gossip to attack him and make a name for themselves, Wu Tian will ensure they receive what they deserve.

Tomorrow, in the battle on the battlefield, Master Jian Yin will surely appear, and his true identity will be clear then.

Soon, Wu Tian and others returned to the Royal Palace.

"Sect Leader." Dao Feng and others were eager for action, their auras stronger than before.

"It seems you guys are very disciplined." Wu Tian nodded with satisfaction. These people truly earned the recognition by Magical Treasures,

Dao Feng and the others had made significant progress compared to a few days prior.

First, they indeed worked hard.

Second, they are akin to a particular powerful figure and similar types.

"You have a fighting spirit in your eyes, what’s going on?" Suddenly, Wu Tian took a closer look at Dao Feng and the others and discovered something.

A fighting spirit, if only sparring, would not exhibit such a strong fighting spirit.

Because there are many kinds of fighting spirit, and the one in Dao Feng’s eyes contained ferocity.

"Because we might have to fight you to the death later." Dao Feng said lazily after taking a sip of wine,

not because he disrespected Wu Tian, but he was becoming more and more like the crazy monk Dao Ji.

Shoes torn, hat torn, Kasaya on the body torn...

"Fight to the death?" Wu Tian puzzled: "Azure Empire is supposed to attack tomorrow, why fight to the death today?"

The time mentioned in Zhan Sha’s challenge letter,

is tomorrow.

He wouldn’t go back on his word,

otherwise, if known to be untrustworthy, he would only lose more face.

"This..." Hearing Wu Tian’s words, they looked at each other, very embarrassed.

"What’s going on? Tell me."

Seeing their hesitation, Wu Tian snorted, raised his eyebrows, and instantly the atmosphere turned cold.

"We..." Dao Feng and others, despite their enhanced power, couldn’t help but shiver. Finally, they honestly revealed: "Recently in the capital, there are only two remarkable figures mentioned, the first is you, Sect Leader, the second is..."

"The Ancestor of Blood Refinement? I know."

Wu Tian nodded, among brilliant figures in today’s Three Realms, only Wu Tian and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

The two, no, two identities, their fame rapidly rose in the Three Realms, with no competitors except each other.

"But what about it?" Wu Tian was even more curious. "Are Dao Feng and the others planning to fight the Ancestor of Blood Refinement?"

Ha, ha, if such a dramatic scene truly occurs, Wu Tian, being the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, would surely let Dao Feng and others suffer a bit.

Let them understand there is always someone better.

"We... this..." Dao Feng continued to drink,

Finally, Lan Niang awkwardly spoke up: "We decided to go to the Blood Refiners Guild to see the Ancestor of Blood Refinement’s abilities, to compare with you, Sect Leader big brother, but when we reached there, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement wasn’t present, but we met his disciples, and thus events transpired."

"Events transpired?" Wu Tian, Miaoshan, and others were puzzled: "What do you mean? Explain in detail."

"Let me explain...we firmly believed the Sect Leader was formidable, but they thought their master, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, was formidable, hence we made an agreement." This time Hong Ji spoke, "We arranged with them to compete today. Since the masters were absent, we decided the disciples would compete and see who between the Sect Leader and the Ancestor of Blood Refinement was superior."

"Yes, Sect Leader, rest assured, we as your disciples will surely defeat the Ancestor of Blood Refinement’s disciples to prove for you."

"Yes, we will win, Sect Leader, rest easy."

Dao Feng and others vowed earnestly.

Whereas Wu Tian was amused.

Should the truth be told?

The fact that Wu Tian is the Ancestor of Blood Refinement is only known by Si’er, Zhou Butong, and the little one.

After contemplating, Wu Tian decided it’s better not to reveal it.

"I see." Wu Tian adeptly played his role, acting seriously, nodding: "Since that’s the case, if they come, then fight them properly."

Wu Tian also wanted them to,

experience some setbacks.

Dao Feng, Lü Baicha, and such, after receiving the legacy, to say their hearts are without arrogance?

Wu Tian didn’t believe it.

Just right, this fight, could teach them the lessons of humility.

"Sect Leader, please rest assured."

"Sect Leader, the victory is surely ours, what you taught us is extraordinary, incomparable to them."

Dao Feng and others clenched their fists, shouting enthusiastically.

The little one watched for a while, thinking she finally had something to say.

She stepped forward,

"Let me test your martial arts?"

"By the way, let me train you, train you properly."

The little one chuckled,

"I’m doing it for your own good." Stepping in front of Dao Feng and others, she extended her finger, the first one she pointed at was Dao Feng. The little one crooked her finger: "Come, let me train you."
