Of the three people behind Huyan Yun, they were a small, middle-aged, and vigorous man. He was thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old and was the famous Branch Lord of Hebei East Road, the fifth disciple of the Nangong Family, Duan Xiaohe.

The third senior brother, Bai Yanlei, who was on the left side and had a green cloth wrapped around his head, was the opposite. He was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and wide eyes.

On the right, Yan Ming was not a martial artist. He was thin and yellow in color, like a village farmer. However, as his eyes moved around, they occasionally shone with a bright light, causing his thin face to look even more lively.

Although Huyan Yun was the last seventh disciple of the Nangong Family, he was still a level higher than his fellow martial brothers. Thus, he was entrusted with the task by Nangong He, and was assigned the role of guarding the Eternal Xing Army on the road to the Middle River Palace to monitor the situation in the Northwest.

The four of them entered the main hall and took their seats. Huyan Yun continued, "Sect Leader, this group of four and this group of martial artists are indeed here for a treasure of the Kou Mansion."

Nangong He, Elder Fan and Elder Wu looked at each other in dismay. They never thought that the Kou Clan would have such a treasure that many martial artists yearned for.

Naturally, Fan Zhangkong couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Helmsman Huyan, what treasure attracted you here?"

Huyan Yun smiled and said, "Old Fan, we are not here for the treasure. This is a big matter in the Martial Forest." After a pause, he asked, "Has Elder Fan ever heard of the Skypiercing Rhino Belt?"

"Skypalace Rhino Belt?" Fan Zhangkong shook his head, but when he saw that the Sect Master and Qiu Haitian were at a loss as well, he said, "I've never heard of it."

Huyan Yun said, "I didn't know what it is, but something big has happened in the martial arts world recently. I only heard about the Heavenly Rhino Belt." After checking by the juniors, the Tong Tian Rhino was one of the legendary spirit beasts. Jin Ren Ge Hong had written < < Pu Zi Da Su > >, which said: 'It is true that the Tong Tian Rhino's horn is more than three inches long, and it is carved as a fish. When it enters the water, the water is often opened for people.' Today, it is rumored in the Jianghu that there is such a belt made of Tong Yang's horn that allows' water to open '. "

When Nangong He heard the words "if the Genuine Heavenly Rhinoceros Horn is more than three inches and is carved as a fish, but if it is used as water, then water will always be used for people", his heart moved. When he heard Huyan Yun say that there was a belt made from Heavenly Rhinoceros Rhinoceros horn stored in the Kou Mansion, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the black belt in his hands. He recalled the strange scene in the kitchen of Old Lord Leng's house and was amazed, "Could it be that Leng Qing's belt was actually made out of Heavenly Rhinoceros horn?"

"Even if the Kou Mansion has such a treasure, it isn't anything extraordinary. It would definitely not attract the coveting of so many people. You must have some ulterior motives, right?"

Huyan Yun praised, "Elder Chou's words were true. Everyone came for the Skypiercing Rhinoceros, so it is not really the reason. The martial arts world suddenly rumored that this Skypiercing Rhinoceros Belt is related to the Qi cultivation manual 'Tiger Subduing Soul Refining Technique' left behind by Zen Master Subduing Tiger. It is said that Zen Master Subduing Tiger mastered this manual before he was able to transform into an immortal."

Both Qiu Haitian and Fan Zhangkong were taken aback when they heard this. Chou Haitian said emotionally, "It's Zen Master Subduing Tiger's Qi Cultivation Secret Art!"

In these hundred years, whether it was in the grasslands, the rivers, or the towering temples, no one was unaware of the righteous Great Monk Wu Xiang.

According to the legends in Jianghu, the master had lived in seclusion in the desolate lands in the early years of his training. At that time, the forest was dense with grass and there were tigers that plagued the neighbors. Master Dazheng harmonious coexistence for all, set up a day to summon the tiger, staff his shins, henceforth, the tiger in this place, people call it "Subduing the Tiger Zen Master", a moment of fame throughout the world, shaking the wilderness.

At this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, more than a hundred years later, Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Ming Kingdom, bestowed upon him the name of "Master Zen"! "Whether you are an emperor, an emperor, or a commoner, you are revered as a god in the face of fire and smoke.

Hearing this, Nangong He was also shocked. His Nangong family's disciple that did not inherit the "Tiger Subduing Fist", according to his ancestors' last words, had coincidentally obtained the inheritance from the divine monk from the previous generation, the "Tiger Subduing Soul Refining Technique". It was something that had been passed down in the world for a hundred years, but no one had seen it before.

Fan Zhangkong said, "Whether the rumors about the reappearance of the martial arts world are true or false, since it is a cultivation technique left behind by Zen Master Subduing Tiger, it must be considered a supreme cultivation technique capable of cleansing one's marrow. Who among martial artists would want to be reborn and become a Grandmaster? Therefore, as long as there is news of the secret scripture, regardless of its authenticity, most people in the martial arts world will personally come to gamble their luck. "

Huyan Yun said, "We did not come here for some treasure manual, but a large group of martial artists came to Luoyang, afraid that it would harm the Sect Master. So we took care of the matter and hurried over."

Nangong He muttered to himself and sighed, "I don't think the rumours in the Jianghu are true. The Divine Monk is kind and compassionate, there is no way for him to leave any cultivation manuals for the later generations to fight over and kill. Furthermore, the matter of him turning into an immortal is an illusion, how can the people in the Jianghu believe it so easily? Just like what Elder Fan had said just now, no matter if it was true or false, there would always be people who would try their luck, even going all out. Sigh … "The greed of humanity has always been like this. It seems like the martial arts world that has been peaceful for so many years will once again start a bloody storm!"

"Sect Master Nangong is truly extraordinary!" Following the clear and sonorous voice, a person entered the hall.

Nangong He suddenly stood up, cupped his fists, and happily greeted, "Old Senior Pan!"

"The first reaction of Sect Leader Nangong when he encounters something is not affected by external forces. Instead, he is worried about the world. This kind of decision really makes me sincerely praise the Sect Leader for his benevolence and righteousness." At this time, the two old enemies quickly stood up and bowed, then respectfully invited the free and unrestrained child to take a seat.

Huyan Yun and the others saw how elegant and outstanding the Free and Unrestrained Child's movement technique was. It had the bearing of a recluse that transcended the mortal world. He also saw that the Sect Master and the two elders were very polite and stood up to greet him.

Nangong He knew that the carefree child had lived in seclusion in the city for many years, so he introduced him, "This is Senior Pan, everyone, please take your seats." He said to the unrestrained child, "Greetings again, senior. This junior is overjoyed." These words were spoken with sincerity. Originally, Wu Yu had been entrusted with protecting his family and hadn't suddenly encountered such a thorny problem. Just as he was caught off guard, the unrestrained child came uninvited. It was truly an unexpected surprise. Nan Gong He felt as if a huge stone fell onto his heart, and instantly felt relieved. He then asked: "Could it be that Senior also heard of this matter?"

"This morning, I was planning to leave this place to enter the capital, but I met an old friend. He told me that he knew a bit about this matter, so he came here to discuss it with Sect Leader Nangong!"

Nan Gong He said, "After discussing it, junior does not dare to say so. Senior can instruct me as much as I want. The Qiong Clan follows your orders! " As he said this, a look of doubt appeared on his face and he asked: "May I ask Senior, could it be that the Kou Mansion really has the Sky-Opening Rhino belt?"

"The Skypalace Rhinoceros Belt really does have something. In the past, Emperor Taizong obtained a Skypalace Rhinoceros Treasure, which allowed the craftsmen of the imperial palace to make two ribbons. One was for his own use, and the other was given to Pingzhong."

Nangong He said, "Junior still does not understand, this belt was created over a hundred years ago by Zen Master Subduing Tiger, it shouldn't have anything to do with those secret manuals, how did the martial arts world spread the news of the two?"

"This subordinate does know the reason." Huyan Yun stood up and said, "When I first heard of this, I sent some disciples to investigate in secret. It seems like the rumors about this secret technique is from an ancient cave in the Zhong Mountain in Jiangning Prefecture. As for the legendary ancient cave, people in the martial world found out that according to the map for finding the secret technique, one must enter the ancient cave through a deep pool.

"However, the water in the pool is unfathomably deep and extremely cold all year round. Many famous people in the martial arts world would give up before they even reach the bottom of the pool. There were some people with profound inner force who were able to endure the cold, but failed because the water was so deep that it was difficult to change one's breath. On the way here, it was rumored that even the Du Brothers who were the best in the world because of the Tai Hu Gang had lost their lives because of trying to force their way into the water. The cause of death was confirmed by a divine doctor, and was actually drowned too deeply in the water! "

"With Liao Kuang's reputation as a physician, his words are true. That pool of water is really strange. Even the Du Brothers, who are invincible in water, are unable to withstand it? " Even the usually calm Qiu Haitian was a bit curious.

In the martial arts world, the Taihu Gang was not considered a famous sect, as most of the disciples in the sect grew through water. In the martial arts world, the famous gang members were the Du brothers. Although the martial arts of these two brothers weren't good, their swimming skills could be said to be the best in the world, unrivalled.

Huyan Yun said, "That's the truth. If it is like this, no one will ever dare to try their luck again."

Nangong He suddenly said, "So as soon as the news of the Kou family's treasure belt being able to protect themselves from water spread in the Jianghu, everyone came to Luoyang." An idea flashed in his mind as he frowned and said, "This is a little strange!" It was enough to have a child not enter the hall for questioning.

Tong Buba greeted the few of them after the meal and waited outside the hall.

Nangong He said, "Branch Chief Tong, have you heard of the two things that were spread around the martial arts world and the Kou Mansion's treasured Heavenly Rhinoceros belt?"

Tong Buba, who was outside the hall, had more or less heard the discussions of the people within the hall. He replied respectfully, "Sect Leader, our Sect Leader's disciples are spread throughout the Western Capital Region. However, this subordinate had just heard from a disciple outside the hall that a foreign land had sent a message and just heard about it. This subordinate has already sent people to monitor the situation in the city and if there are any unusual movements, we will immediately report to him. "

"Okay." Nangong He nodded his head, satisfied with Tong Buba's efficiency, he turned to Huyan Yun and the others and said, "Branch Chief Bai and the others have different paths to Luoyang, if they are close, why would they arrive on the same day? When did you all hear about the Skypiercing Rhino Belt? "

Bai Yanlei and the other three were stunned upon hearing this. Although they did not know why Sect Master had asked such a question, they all stood up and answered honestly. The time that they had heard the news varied, they had received the news a few days before Luo Yang's, and a few days after that, they had heard the rumor.

After answering, Huyan Yun seemed to have realized something, his expression suddenly changed, he looked straight at Nangong He and said in a hoarse voice, "Sect Leader, this is not a coincidence, there are people purposefully arranging this, according to the time the news was spread, it seems like their goal is to reach Luo Yang at about the same time!"

Nangong He said solemnly, "That's right, the Hidden Tiger Secret Manual and the Sky-Opening Rhino Belt have already spread throughout the martial arts world. Only recently did the martial artists in the west of Beijing learn about them. "Seems like someone is manipulating them secretly to seal the information in the martial arts forest in the west of the capital. The purpose is exactly as Helmsman Huyan said, it seems like they really want all these martial artists to gather at the Henan Manor within a few days."

As Nangong He spoke, the faces of everyone in the hall changed. The disciples of the Qiong Clan were all over the counties, if it was as Nangong He had said, then someone had ulterior motives in hiding the news from the Qiong Clan, then they would need a massive amount of manpower and resources to do so. In the entire martial arts world, no one could think of anyone who could do such a thing!
