Chapter 747: The Secret From Eight Hundred Years Ago
Powerful wulin sects had given up their entire family fortune just to earn a meeting with Murong Xianxian.
Promising geniuses had fought each other to the death just to earn her smile.
Famous clans had clashed against one another just to make her happy.
Aristocratic families had given up entire treasure hoards just to earn her favor…
Still, if beauty was all Murong Xianxian possessed, then she wouldn’t be famous even eight hundred years later. Blessed with extraordinary talent and an eidetic memory, she was adept in countless martial arts, methods and essentials. There wasn’t a single art in the world—music, go, literature, painting—she hadn’t grasped; no annals of history or philosophy she wasn’t familiar with. She was literally the embodiment of perfection; the closest human there was to being divine at the time.
Naturally, the Murong Clan exploited her fame to recruit countless warriors and grow their strength tremendously. It didn’t take long before they earned the title of the greatest wulin clan in the realm, and for a time, it even looked like they were going to become the greatest clan in the entire world.
Unfortunately, the very person that raised them to the heavens would also be the one who cast them into hell. Murong Xianxian was so famous that she drew the attention of Li Hentian, who at the time was “merely” known as the supreme warrior of the Dark Ways.
Back in the day, Li Hentian was quite the domineering and unruly man. He had issued a Dark Overlord Token and commanded the Murong Clan to surrender Murong Xianxian to him in three days. Otherwise, he was going to annihilate them all.
Naturally, Murong Xianxian disregarded his threat. Riding high on their recent successes, they believed that the Dark Overlord’s threat was nothing more but the foolish, conceited words of a delusional man. They even made a statement declaring that they would end Li Hentian where he stood if he so much as set a single step within the Murong Clan’s compound.
