Chapter 35

“Brother Chun, you’re here?”

“Emperor, what’s the matter? Why did you summon me in the middle of the night?”

Emperor Baoding did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “Have you heard about the matter regarding the Juxian Manor?”

“Yes, I’ve heard that a great swordsman appeared and rescued Qiao Feng.

“However, it’s just some rumors. After all, to be able to kill someone with such a shocking strike is beyond human strength.”

Emperor Baoding turned around and took out a rust-like iron box. Then, he walked toward Duan Zhengchun and handed it over to him personally.

“This is the family treasure box that Dali passed down a thousand years ago before the country was founded.”

Upon hearing that it was a family treasure box, Duan Zhengchun immediately paid attention to it.

“Open it and take a look,” Emperor Baoding said.

Duan Zhengchun carefully opened it, and he found a yellowed envelope made of an unknown material.

It was unbelievable that this envelope had survived for thousands of years without rotting.

Duan Zhengchun opened the envelope. There was a letter inside. At the bottom of the letter, there was a drawing of a man.

The man looked handsome on the letter as he held a sword in his hand. Duan Zhengchun looked at the sword and found it familiar.

He was shocked and looked up. Was this not the sword in the picture that Emperor Baoding was staring at a moment ago?

“Brother Chun, read the letter.”

“I’m the descendant of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yi…

“Since the death of Lord Xiang, he left this letter to us.

“In the future, when people in the Xiang family saw this letter and the man in the letter, if the Xiang family had a daughter, they would marry their daughter to the man in the picture.

“If they have a son, they’ll need to give this letter to the son and let the son become his disciple.

“Regardless of whether my descendants are noble or not, they must remember this.

“This is for my Xiang family’s descendants. At that time, Lord Xiang made a bad choice and missed a great opportunity. In the end, he died in vain.

“Remember this. Remember this.”

The letter was short.

However, the meaning was obvious. It was Xiang Yu’s descendant who wrote the letter. If he had a daughter in the family, he would marry his daughter to the man in the letter.

If he had a son, then he would ask his son to be the man’s disciple, regardless of his identity.

“Nonsense! How could our ancestors give such an order?” Duan Zhengchun berated loudly.

However, Emperor Baoding did not say anything.

“How is this possible? How could a person from a thousand years ago be alive?”

Emperor Baoding remained silent.

“Emperor, you don’t think that the man in this letter is still alive, right?”

Duan Zhengchun did not say anything as he just looked at the Emperor.

“It might be possible,” Emperor Baoding said.

Duan Zhengchun’s eyes widened. He could not believe that his brother, who had always been down to Earth, would say such a thing.

“Emperor Brother, this is impossible. Moreover, we’re Dali people. How can we be Xiang Yu’s descendants?”

“Brother Chun, there is no doubt about this. I have a genealogy record that we have not shown you.”

After saying that, Emperor Baoding took out the genealogy record.

Duan Zhengchun looked at it, but he did not see any clues.

Emperor Baoding sighed and said, “Our Dali Duan Clan started in the 112th year of the Tang Dynasty. Duan Rongshi’s father is Xiang Yu’s descendant…”

Duan Zhengchun was shocked and looked at the name of the first person on the genealogy record. “No wonder a woman actually got on the genealogy record… and there’s such a history.”

“Yes, at that time, the Duan Clan in Dali had just formed a clan, but because Duan Rongshi was someone from a famous clan, so it was recorded on the genealogy.”

“But…”

Emperor Baoding raised his hand to stop Duan Zhengchun from speaking.

“Brother Chun, do you know the origin of the Dali’s Six Meridians Godly Sword?”

“Was it not researched by the Founding Emperor of Dali, Duan Siping?”

“You’re only right about one thing, but you don’t know the other. The Six Meridians Godly Sword has always been a secret technique, and only the Emperor knows the truth about it.”

“Duan Siping is indeed talented, but he can’t create something out of nothing. It’s rumored that he saw the weapon in this painting and comprehended the training method of the Six Meridians Godly Sword.”

Emperor Baoding’s words were undoubtedly like an atomic bomb, and Duan Zhengchun was a little dazed.

“Oh my God, is that so?”

“That’s right, Brother Chun. Look carefully at the painting in the iron box. Look at the level of the painting.”

Duan Zhengchun looked carefully at Lin En’s portrait, and he was fascinated by it.

“Oh my…

“Oh my God… This is a masterpiece. It’s as if the person in the painting has come to life.”

“That’s right. The painting is so lifelike. If you look carefully, this painting is not the original painting. It’s just a copy of the original…” Emperor Baoding explained.

“And most importantly, my spies from the Juxian Manor came back to report that everything is true. It’s even more shocking than the rumors. With a slash of the sword, the sword Qi could travel five miles. And that’s not all. The sword Qi could completely split the ground five to six meters deep…”

Emperor Baoding breathed heavily as he continued, “Brother Chun, do you think that a mortal can do so?”

Duan Zhengchun’s breathing quickened as well.

After a while, he said, “Could there really be an extraordinary existence in this world?”

“That’s possible.”

“Emperor Brother, how should we deal with this? The successor of this person might have already appeared. What should we do?”

Emperor Baoding pondered for a while and said, “It’s naturally impossible to send Yu’er to the gate where the person in the painting is. This will eliminate Dali’s bloodline. Dali will vanish if we do so. This is obviously not possible.

“If there’s a copy of this letter, it’ll be a disaster for Dali.”

Emperor Baoding began to hesitate.

Duan Zhengchun gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt on the ground and said, “Emperor Brother, perhaps I have a way to turn this seemingly dangerous matter into an opportunity.”

“Oh…”

Emperor Baoding hurriedly helped Duan Zhengchun up.

“When I was young, I was naturally flirtatious. The girl that you saw today is actually my daughter, Mu Wanqing… We can marry Wan’er to this man.”

…

Demonic Wind Sect, in the main hall.

Lin En had just returned from his training, and he was covered in sweat.

At this time, a disciple reported that there was a letter from him.

“Grandmaster, this is a letter from a mortal to you. As it’s about you, so I don’t dare to neglect it. The messenger is still waiting at the foot of the mountain.

“The man said, An old friend of yours wrote this letter to you. However, we didn’t reveal anything about you to the man.'”

In Lin En’s opinion, the person who could write a letter to him must be some Elders in the cultivation world.

A mortal wrote a letter to him? Could it be Qiao Feng?

‘Could it be that something happened to Qiao Feng?’

Lin En opened the letter and stood up abruptly. “F *ck, that’s a miracle.”

“This letter is actually a matchbook from Xiang Yu’s descendants? And Xiang Yu’s descendants are actually the current royal family of Dali.”
