The One Foretold

"Lu Ren, you possess the resolve to press forward bravely, and such potential besides. Only someone like you can lead the Ancient Martial Artists!"

Sword Emperor Wuming Li Chen said.

"Are you truly an Ancient Martial Artist?"

Lu Ren asked in surprise.

Back then, he had guessed that the Sword Emperor Wuming was an Ancient Martial Artist. Yet the Sword Emperor Wuming had remained silent all along, leaving him no chance to speak with him.

Still, whenever danger had arisen, the Sword Emperor Wuming had helped him resolve the crisis.

Li Chen nodded faintly. "Not only me. The second Ghost Emperor was also an Ancient Martial Artist!"

"The Ghost Emperor was an Ancient Martial Artist too?"

Lu Ren was shocked once again.

No wonder the Sword Emperor Wuming had appeared as soon as they entered the Ghost Emperor's Cave Mansion.

"Alas, he and I fell together back then. I was fortunate enough to merge the Sword Emperor's Will into the Emperor Slaying Sword, escaping that calamity!"

Li Chen let out a long sigh. Countless memories surfaced in his mind, and a trace of melancholy and hatred appeared on his face.

"Other than you two, are there any other Ancient Martial Artists?"

Lu Ren continued asking.

"There are still many Ancient Martial Artists on the Xuanhuang Continent, but they have all gone into seclusion!"

Li Chen nodded.

"They have all gone into seclusion?"

Lu Ren looked thoroughly puzzled.

"Ancient Martial Artists were never tolerated by this world. Once our identities are exposed, we will be hunted down by these Martial Artists. The second Ghost Emperor and I were also pursued and killed after our identities were leaked!"

Li Chen shook his head, his eyes brimming with icy, bone-piercing killing intent.

"Our identities were leaked?"

Lu Ren murmured, looking at Li Chen
