Wudang Mountain, Three Purities Hall
Chen Yao, Wudang Mountain's disciplinarian True Person, hurried inside. He came to Sect Master Wang Chonglou and said anxiously, "Sect Master, word just came from Yongzhou. Someone bearing the Faxiang of the True Martial Great Emperor has appeared in the martial world. That person has a white-clad guard wielding two blades, and is believed to be at least at the Finger Profound Mirror."
Wang Chonglou only paused for a moment when he heard the news, then quickly came to his senses. He wasn't worried in the least.
He didn't know why his Junior Brother was so shocked, and asked in confusion, "Didn't we hear that the Heir Apparent of Northern Liang had returned from his travels? It's certainly strange that he's manifested his Faxiang already, but you needn't be this shocked."
Chen Yao shook his head, his expression grave. "Word has it that the person isn't Xu Fengnian, the one our people secretly met at all. But that person and his guard did indeed go to Lingzhou afterward."
Wang Chonglou heard this and said uncertainly, "Could Xu Xiao have deliberately put out a false Xu Fengnian to protect the real one?"
Sect Master Wang Chonglou's theory struck Chen Yao as very plausible. After all, thanks to the Imperial Observatory, most of the great clans knew that Xu Fengnian was the reincarnation of the True Martial Great Emperor.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiao, as his father, wouldn't let a son of such standing travel the martial world, even if he were unwilling to arrange a marriage alliance with the imperial family. Countless people would try to assassinate him.
If there were two Xu Fengnians, one real and one fake, that would make some sense!
It seemed he had accidentally exposed the True Martial Faxiang this time,
