Before long, Dugu Qiubai, the Sword God of his generation, finally learned from the common people that earth-shaking changes had taken place across the realm.
Jin Kingdom, Song Kingdom, Ming Kingdom, Mongol Yuan, Tibetan Kingdom, Dali Kingdom, and more.
Without a single exception, all had been destroyed by the Grand Ming Empire.
"Why does the Grand Ming Empire possess such formidable strength? How could it wipe out so many nations within a single year?" Dugu Qiubai asked the commoner before him, his face full of bewilderment.
The man was stunned for a moment before replying, "Young hero, where did you come from? How do you not even know this?"
"The reason the Grand Ming Empire was able to unify the realm in just one year is that it possesses modern military equipment. Besides, the Grand Ming Imperial Grandson's cultivation is unrivaled under heaven."
"Looking across the realm, not a single martial arts expert from any nation is a match for the Grand Ming Imperial Grandson."
As the commoner finished speaking, Dugu Qiubai's face was filled with doubt and incomprehension.
He could not believe that such a powerful expert existed in this realm.
Thus, Dugu Qiubai immediately pressed on, "What is the Grand Ming Imperial Grandson's surname and name? Who exactly is he? Please tell me."
Clearly, after hearing Dugu Qiubai's words, the commoners looked at him as though he were a fool.
Even more onlookers began to gather around.
A child of around seven or eight explained to Dugu Qiubai, "Of course the Grand Ming Imperial Grandson's surname is Zhu. As for his real name, no one knows."
"Anyway, the Grand Ming Imperial Grandson is incredibly powerful. They say even Patriarch Bodhidharma of Shaolin Temple was defeated by him!"
The child's face was filled with admiration for Zhu Ying.
