Chapter 1372 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Have you heard? Master Xu and his family have also suffered."
"What? Even Master Xu couldn't escape those people's clutches? How could this be?"
"What else could it be but the Heavenly Questionnaire? Anyone even remotely connected to it will be targeted by the mysterious organization, and few of them will end up well. In recent years, how many families have been wiped out because of the Heavenly Questionnaire? The Heavenly Questionnaire Blade is a renowned weapon in the martial arts world. The names of the Heavenly Questionnaire and the Heavenly Questionnaire Blade are related, so how could the mysterious organization possibly let them go?"
"So, the Xu family is also..."
"No, not really. I heard that Madam Xu and Master Xu's disciple are still alive. Someone encountered them in Qingjiang Town, but didn't see Master Xu or his daughter. They may have met with misfortune."
"What a pity for the great hero Xu Yidao. Who would have thought he would end up like this? So, the Heaven-Asking Blade was also taken by the mysterious organization?"
"How many more people will this questionnaire harm? With it around, I'm afraid there will never be a day of peace in the martial world."
"A treasure trove that could rival a nation's wealth, unparalleled martial arts skills that would make one stand out from the crowd, and the secret to immortality—it's hard not to be tempted. It's going to be difficult for the martial world to remain peaceful."
"I wonder who will be the next to suffer."
"Weapons that are renowned in the martial arts world are probably something to be wary of."
"The mysterious organization is of unknown origin. They are ruthless and relentless in achieving their goals, making them impossible to guard against."
Talking could be heard coming from one of the tables in the teahouse.
Xu Shan, who had overheard the conversation, couldn't help but glance at the knife placed to the side. However, the knife was wrapped in an ordinary cloth, so its true appearance could not be seen.
The Heaven-Asking Blade is clearly still in his hands, and he's not dead yet. It's the people from that mysterious organization who died. The rumors circulating in the martial arts world are just too outrageous.
However, there was some good news in what they just said: his wife and disciple were safe, and the two had been seen in Qingjiang Town. He wanted to hear more, but unfortunately, these people didn't seem to have much relevant information either.
We can go anywhere in Qingjiang Town. It's really impossible to predict where my wife and her family will go. We can only follow their initial decision and search one place at a time. If we come across a lively place, we can ask around.
Ah-Zhu sipped her tea, surprised that rumors in the martial arts world spread so quickly.
However, since everyone in the mysterious organization died that day, only Azhen and Xu Shan knew the truth. It's not surprising that such rumors circulated.
Since such rumors are already circulating, it doesn't seem like a big deal if they intensify.
A day later, Azhen and Xu Shan arrived at a small town, weary from their journey. To Xu Shan's regret, this was not Qingjiang Town; on the contrary, it was quite far away. Of course, even if they went to Qingjiang Town now, it would be almost impossible to meet his wife.
Just as I sat down at the restaurant, various voices of discussion arose not far away.
"It is said that Master Xu and his daughter had just wiped out a group of people from a mysterious organization and were about to get through the crisis when they encountered another group of mysterious people on their way to catch up with Madam Xu. They attacked them and demanded that Master Xu hand over the Heaven-Asking Blade."
"That's really not surprising. The Heavenly Questionnaire is coveted by countless people, and there are countless people who take advantage of the chaos. Who can guarantee that it's the original mysterious organization that makes the move every time?"
"Do you remember the year before last? Two martial arts families in the Jianghu were facing a crisis at the same time. They seemed to be a mysterious organization, but in reality, they were two different groups of people."
"And then? What happened to Master Xu?"
The person who started the conversation shook his head regretfully. "Master Xu was already exhausted after dealing with a group of mysterious people, and then he was ambushed. Facing these newly appeared mysterious people, Master Xu was in great difficulty and could only escape with his daughter. In the end, he was forced to the cliff, with the bottomless sea below. In the end... in the end, Master Xu gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea with his daughter. Now his fate is unknown." "That's really a pity."
"Yes, that's such a pity."
"There are countless people who want to obtain the Heavenly Questionnaire. It's a pity for Master Xu."
"By the way, where did Master Xu's accident finally happen?"
"It is..."
Xu Shan stared at the man's confident expression, somewhat shocked.
As a member of the martial arts world, he naturally knew that news in the martial arts world was a mix of truth and falsehood, yet this was the first time he had heard rumors about himself, as if the person in front of him had witnessed it firsthand. If he weren't Xu Shan, he might have actually believed it.
"These rumors are outrageous," Xu Shan whispered to Azhen. The truth was, he had been ambushed and was unable to move, and was almost killed with a single blow. It wasn't as serious as the rumors made it out to be.
Since those mysterious people had plotted against him, they would definitely have gone all out, leaving him no chance to retaliate. This time, it was just that they hadn't anticipated Zhen'er's unexpected turn of events. To be honest, before this, he hadn't known that his daughter was so capable.
Now, everyone who knows how powerful his daughter is except for him has become a victim of his blade. Xu Shan also told his daughter not to easily reveal her strength, as it might be surprisingly effective in the future if they encounter a crisis.
“Father, listen to me. It’s not a bad thing for us,” Azhen said.
Xu Shan nodded, agreeing with that idea, and made no attempt to correct him.
As these people say, there are countless people in the martial arts world who want the Heavenly Questionnaire, and the mysterious organization is no longer just the one that made the initial move. Anyone who wants the Heavenly Questionnaire and is secretly taking action could be a member of the mysterious organization.
On the surface, no one can know what their true nature is.
Those people were still talking about Xu Shan, and Azhen just smiled when she heard it.
What no one knew was that the initial rumors of Xu Shan and his daughter's misfortune were indeed just speculation from the martial arts world; the later claims that Xu Shan and his daughter were attacked by another group of mysterious people were actually rumors she spread, and she even fabricated the location.
Regardless of anything else, she just wanted to watch the show.
Of all the wishes the client had, the person she cared about most was Xu Shan. Now that Xu Shan was safe and sound, and still by her side, there was nothing to worry about.
The client's second wish, of course, was revenge.
Her third wish, if possible, was to steal those fragments of the Heavenly Questionnaire. If she couldn't steal them, she would at least stir up trouble in the martial arts world and make those who would stop at nothing to get the Heavenly Questionnaire unhappy. That would make her happy.
The client had never seen the complete Heavenly Questionnaire, so naturally he didn't know whether, with the Heavenly Questionnaire, he had ultimately found the treasure that could rival the wealth of a nation, the unparalleled martial arts, and the secret to immortality.
After all, she didn't survive to the end.
Although she didn't survive to the end, she did see the true faces of many people, whose identities were truly unexpected.
Over the next few days, Azhen and Xu Shan traveled to many places, and the rumors circulating about them were all the later versions, which many people believed without question. (End of Chapter)
