Duan Yu's Collapse

"You think it's not true just because you say so? Have you asked your mother? I, Li Hao, stand by my word. I never lie." Li Hao was unhappy. He was known in the martial world as the honest young master. Was Duan Yu trying to ruin his reputation?

"You're spouting nonsense! My mother would never do anything so improper." Duan Yu became agitated. Losing his head would be no worse than a scratch on the head.

But if you're going to slander my mother before trying to kill me, then you're in the wrong.

"Fine, if that's the case, let's get this straight. Does your father, Duan Zhengchun, like to fool around with girls outside, specifically flirt with young girls, married women, and young wives?" Li Hao asked directly.

"No." Family shame should not be spread, nor should it be publicized, or his father would beat him to death.

"Heh, you think I don't know about your family's dirty laundry! Does Zhong Ling's mother, Gan Baobao, have a thing with your father? Your father also loves to bully honest people, making Zhong Wanchou raise his daughter while secretly carrying on with Gan Baobao. Dare you say no?" Li Hao didn't hold back, revealing a secret Duan Yu knew.

"How do you know about this?" Duan Yu was stunned.

He knew about Duan Zhengchun and Gan Baobao. When Zhong Wanchou and his men were in the hall discussing how to get rid of Duan Zhengchun, Duan Zhengchun was fighting in Gan Baobao's bedroom.

He himself was locked in a secret room with Zhong Ling, and he clearly heard the conversation between his father and Gan Baobao, as well as the sounds that followed.

As soon as Duan Yu spoke, everyone present looked at Li Hao with changed expressions.

The second young master was telling the truth! He knew such a secret matter. Could he be connected to the most mysterious organization in the martial world, Tianji Pavilion?

"You should know I'm not lying about this! Then, your Wan'er's master and mother, Qin Hongmian of the Asura Blade, and your father's relationship, you should be very clear about that too!" Li Hao dropped another bombshell, leaving Duan Yu dizzy.

"Stop talking, you're a devil! How do you know these things?" Duan Yu was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Dao Baifeng is the daughter of the Baiyi Tribe chief. She hated men having multiple wives and concubines her entire life. Your father's philandering broke her heart. It's only right that she took revenge on Duan Zhengchun, isn't it?" Li Hao said with a grin.

"That's right." A Bi and A Zhu, Yi Lin nodded quickly.

They were around the same age, and it was normal for them to enjoy gossip. Even Ning Zhongze and Lin Shiyin showed signs of interest.

"Dao Baifeng thought the same way. She thought, 'I'm the most beautiful woman in the Baiyi Tribe. Finding a handsome man to get revenge on Duan Zhengchun would be too easy for him. If I'm going to do it, I'll find someone of the lowest status to get revenge on him.' So she found a beggar who was crippled, disfigured, and covered in festering sores."

"It's a good thing she was strong-willed, otherwise, someone else might not have been able to go through with it!" Li Hao said with a serious expression.

Strictly speaking, Dao Baifeng was truly ruthless. If it were another woman, no matter how much she cheated, she would find someone presentable, right? She wouldn't even glance at a beggar.

"You're lying..." Duan Yu couldn't speak anymore. He now believed Li Hao 99% of what he said.

"Your mother, Dao Baifeng, ran off to become a Taoist nun as soon as you were born, right? Do you know why she became a nun? Even though she's a princess, she couldn't get a divorce, otherwise..." Li Hao trailed off.

The son of a beggar! A Zhu and A Bi looked at Duan Yu with changed eyes. These noble circles were really wild and chaotic!

"Let me tell you, Duan Yu, if your father Duan Zhengchun knew that his only son was the son of a beggar, what do you think he would do? Would he send troops to kill me to avenge you, or would he unleash all his experts to purge you from the family?" Li Hao retorted.

System: Your mouth is truly venomous. How can you expect anyone to answer such a question?

Duan Yu was speechless, his face showing he had no idea. If Duan Zhengchun knew he was the son of a beggar, he would definitely not let him go. He would probably give him a white silk noose or a cup of poisoned wine.

In any case, he wouldn't let him live to inherit the throne of Dali.

"Xiao Hei, is the firewood ready? We need to burn the sword manual for Mr. Murong," Li Hao shouted to Xiao Hei, who trotted in from the door.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for young master to bring people over," Xiao Hei said excitedly.

Although he had been following the young master for so long and had turned over a new leaf, he occasionally missed his old life of killing and looting.

"Young Master Li, can we talk?" On the mountain peak behind Canhe Manor, before Murong Bo's tomb, just as Yan Shun was about to strike Duan Yu, Duan Yu suddenly spoke.

"Talk? What's there to talk about? It's much easier to just cut you down. Sister A Zhu is personally cooking a feast for me to welcome me," Li Hao said with a smirk, his mouth twisted.

"Let's be frank. I do believe what you've said. Since I'm not a member of the Duan family, I don't need to keep secrets for the Duan family and risk my life. All you want is the Six Meridian Divine Sword manual. I'll copy it out for you. Whether you keep it for enlightenment or burn it is none of my business. How about that?" Duan Yu looked up and said calmly.

"Do you think I care about the Six Meridian Divine Sword manual?" Li Hao pointed his finger, and a sharp sword qi instantly pierced a tree a hundred paces away.

The tree was huge, too big for one person to embrace.

"Shangyang Sword? How do you know the Duan family's Six Meridian Divine Sword?" Duan Yu was greatly alarmed. His only bargaining chip seemed to have lost all its advantage.

"Heh, Shangyang Sword. Look at this," Li Hao sneered.

Li Hao's fingers flew, and streaks of sharp sword qi shot out. The tree was instantly riddled with holes. It couldn't withstand it for long before it broke in half and fell to the ground.

Tree: I really thank you.

"Shaoshang Sword, Zhongchong Sword, Guanchong Sword, Shaochong Sword, Shaoze Sword. This is impossible. Even the five old ancestors of the Duan family in Tianlong Temple can't unleash the complete Six Meridian Divine Sword formation. How can you use it? Could it be that you are also from the Duan family? That makes sense. If you weren't from the Duan family, how would you know so many of the Duan family's secrets?" Duan Yu's face contorted, and he felt utterly powerless. He probably couldn't get revenge for this.

This Li Hao was likely a prodigy secretly cultivated by the Duan family.

"What Prince Duan said makes a lot of sense. The five eminent monks of Tianlong Temple, along with Duan Zhengming, cannot unleash the complete Six Meridian Divine Sword formation. Young Master Li truly lives up to his title as the Young Master of Three Absolutes. His swordsmanship is unparalleled," Jiumozhi said with his palms pressed together.

He was now completely convinced by Li Hao's methods. This was a true martial arts prodigy!

If given more time, he might become the next Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai and a legend in the martial world.
