Chapter 1192: The Secret of Years Past
Xu Hao said calmly, "Is Xuanwu Sect really that strong? To actually shock a member of the Lü Family like this."
Lü Yuanbin replied, "A single Xuanwu Sect isn't particularly powerful, but Qinglong Gate, White Tiger Sect, Vermilion Bird Sect, and Xuanwu Sect originally were one entity. Although now there are disputes among them, when facing outsiders, they will unite. Xuanwu Sect is the weakest of the four."
"What was their predecessor?" Xu Hao asked.
"Holy Beast Sect, an alleged sect that has existed since ancient times, but no one knows the precise time, not even when the four sects split is clear. In the ancient books I've seen, it's said that they were already separate when they were discovered." Lü Yuanbin explained.
Even though Xu Hao had a grudge against the Lü Family, Lü Yuanbin saw things clearly. He currently had no power to oppose Xu Hao, and naturally wouldn't foolishly try to provoke him.
These matters, although called secrets, are actually open secrets. With Xu Hao's power, it would be easy to uncover them; it's better to tell him now, perhaps even earning some favor.
After hearing Lü Yuanbin's explanation, Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "You're very perceptive; if all members of the Lü Family were like you, I wouldn't need to trouble myself with them."
Lü Yuanbin smiled bitterly, "With my power, facing you alone, I have no choice but to be perceptive."
Xu Hao looked towards Bidimi and said coldly, "Understand? In my eyes, the Xuanwu Undying Bone doesn't even compare to a single pinky of Xue Zhu, yet I still refuse to trade it for revenge against Xuanwu Sect. You all even think of trading your President's assistance for my revenge against Xue Zhu? Ridiculous!"
Jiang Xuezhun was deeply moved upon hearing Xu Hao's words; she hadn't expected to rank so highly in Xu Hao's heart!
"Xu Hao, you're simply obstinate and ignorant!"
Bidimi said furiously, "Can a Xuanwu Sect Leader be compared to our President? When our President acts, it mobilizes our entire association! Our association's power surpasses Xuanwu Sect and others ten times over!"
Even Lü Yuanbin couldn't endure it anymore. Although he was enemies with Xu Hao, he had no good feelings towards these foreign devils, and he said calmly, "You're underestimating the four great sects like Xuanwu Sect. Their power isn't imaginable; not to mention their inherent strength, the treasures they hold could never be resisted by ordinary strongmen. As of now, only those with equally powerful treasures can withstand their might."
Bidimi instantly laughed loudly, "Hahaha! You're really great at bragging! If you're so powerful, why were you beaten like dogs in the past? Hahaha! Ridiculous! A bunch of trash, pretending to be so dominant, who gave you the nerve?!"
Lü Yuanbin immediately became furious and shouted harshly, "If not for certain reasons back then, the last batch of strongmen from Huaya wouldn't have had to leave early, giving you foreign devils an opportunistic chance! Many of us speculate that those events were precisely orchestrated by strongmen from the European Continent, forcing the last batch of Huaya's strongmen to leave prematurely. The Mengzi Family opposed many voices to leave some behind, or else you all would have had even more success!"
"Hahaha! What's the use of saying these things now? Why would those fools fall for it? Isn't it because they're stupid! If they weren't stupid, why would they leave early? Of course, I don't know much about these things, but I guess it's because they were too stupid, and our ancestors slightly plotted and managed to fool them." Bidimi said arrogantly.
He now understood that he wouldn't be able to get away today, so he might as well say everything he wanted to.
Xu Hao was slightly shocked upon hearing Lü Yuanbin's words.
He had always wondered, considering Huaya's martial arts heritage had never been interrupted and those ancient martial families didn't seem overly selfish, especially when it comes to national righteousness.
Wouldn't the combined power of the whole Huaya Martial Arts World be enough to repel those barbarian invaders back then?
Not likely.
But why did such events happen later?
Having heard Lü Yuanbin's words, it seemed there were indeed hidden truths back then?
Lü Yuanbin seemed to notice Xu Hao's curious look, he snorted coldly and said, "Xu Hao, I've already said plenty today; if you want to know, go find it yourself. Remember, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies."
