As soon as Chen Mu spoke, the room fell silent. Wei Shan's eyes darkened, and he silently picked up a piece of green vegetable and began to chew, remaining silent for a long time.
Wei Shuang glared at Chen Mu and stood up to change the subject.
"By the way! A Huo, didn't you say before that you suspected your lineage was related to our Sword-Questioning Sect?"
You can demonstrate it to my father. Although he doesn't specialize in swordsmanship, he's very familiar with the swordsmanship of everyone in the Sword-Questioning Sect. He might even know who taught you."
Although the Sword-Questioning Sect is a sword cultivation sect, it doesn't mean that they only cultivate sword techniques. After all, there are still a lot of mortals in the Brahma Sword World, and there are always some who are talented but unable to master sword techniques.
The Wei Clan's ancestral martial art, " Mountain Art," is actually a fusion of many sword techniques from the Sword-Questioning Sect. The Sword-Questioning Sect's sword techniques are expansive and upright, and after being fused into the " Mountain Art," its power is even greater, which is why it became the Wei Clan's ancestral secret art.
A Huo turned to look at Chen Mu, and seeing that Chen Mu did not object, he stood up.
"Alright! Actually, identifying my lineage is quite simple. Listen to this."
He drew his longsword and gave it a slight shake.
A clear, crisp sword cry rang out, peaceful yet penetrating the soul. Even Wei Shuang and Chen Mu were momentarily stunned, while Wei Shan remained completely unaffected.
"It's the Heart-Guarding Sword Resonance! You... you cultivate the Justice True Heart Sword?"
Wei Shan's eyes lit up, and he immediately pointed out A Huo's technique.
A Huo smiled upon hearing this, "Yes! Senior Wei, do you know who my master is?"
A Huo's second master, Cao Lingxiao, actually knew who A Huo's master was, but every time A Huo asked him, he remained tight-lipped. That's why A Huo came to the Sword-Questioning Sect to seek the answer.
"That's right! The Justice True Heart Sword is the inheritance of my Sword-Questioning Sect, and it is the core inheritance. Only the most outstanding disciples of our sect will be bestowed with this sword technique."
However, as far as I know, this sword technique requires extremely high mental fortitude and is very difficult to master. No disciple of our sect has mastered this sword technique in the past thousand years.
So I'm also very curious, who exactly is your master?
Wei Shan looked thoughtful, also puzzled.
A Huo agreed with Wei Shan's points. Although he had practiced the Justice True Heart Sword since childhood, he couldn't unleash its full power when he was young.
It wasn't until he went to the Qi Mountain Tribe to take revenge and resolve his inner conflict that the true power of the Justice True Heart Sword was revealed, even surpassing that of ordinary Heaven-rank techniques.
"By the way! About thirty years ago, there was a disciple in our sect named ' Ling Feng ' who went to the Pan Emperor Continent and lost contact with us. We still haven't heard from him since."
In terms of seniority, he is Shuang'er's seventh senior brother. He has excellent character and talent. I estimate that the sect leader should have opened the cultivation method of " Justice True Heart Sword " for him in the Scripture Pavilion.
Based on the current situation, he is the most likely person to teach you the Justice True Heart Sword.
Wei Shan had stayed at the Sword Inquiry Pavilion for more than ten years. Having lost his cultivation, he was unable to cultivate anymore, so he often chatted with the disciples there. He knew the situation of everyone there very well, including the situation of these missing disciples.
"Could you draw his face? I want to make sure it's him."
"Okay, wait a moment while I get some paper and a pen."
After Wei Shan finished speaking, he turned and went to his study.
By this time, the four of them had almost finished eating. Chen Mu and Wei Shuang conscientiously cleared away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and then wiped the table clean.
The disciples of the Sword-Questioning Sect live a very simple life. There are no servants here, and everyone does everything themselves, including cooking and washing dishes.
However, for cultivators, washing dishes is very easy. Chen Mu simply put the bowl in the water and gave it a gentle shake, and all the residue was shaken off, leaving only the smooth bowl.
When Wei Shan returned to the table with paper and pen, Chen Mu and Wei Shuang had also finished their work and were waiting for Wei Shan to draw ' Ling Feng '.
Although Wei Shan has lost his cultivation, his body, which had been deeply modified by Spiritual Power, is still incredibly strong, and the martial arts he once practiced give him control over his body far beyond that of ordinary people.
With a single hand, he casually splashed ink onto the white paper, and in less than half an incense stick's time, the portrait of ' Ling Feng ' was completed.
Wei Shan had only met Ling Feng a few times. At that time, he was still the King Who Guards the West, and Ling Feng was still young. However, with his memory, he was able to draw Ling Feng very easily.
"It's him! Yes, he's my master."
The portrait shows Ling Feng as a young man, full of vigor and sharpness. Compared to the man with a full beard and resolute eyes in A Huo's memory, he has changed a lot in terms of temperament. However, he can still easily recognize from his facial features that this is the sword master who changed his life.
Master! I finally know who you are. Your name is Ling Feng.
But where are you now?
A Huo's eyes reddened, and he forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions, asking, "When he left, did he say where he was going or who he was going to see?"
Wei Shan shook his head. "No, our Sword-Questioning Sect has always been lax in its management of its disciples. As long as they don't do anything wrong, they can go wherever they want without having to report to anyone."
However, Rufan has just summoned his disciples back these past few days. You can try asking the disciples of Ling Feng's generation; perhaps one of them knows something."
A Huo bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Wei."
Although the clues have gone cold, A Huo is still very happy. At least he knows his master's background and name. With these, it should be much easier to find his master in the future.
After A Huo's problem was resolved, Wei Shan turned his attention to Chen Mu.
" Chen Mu, you just asked me why I lost my cultivation. Actually, it's fine to tell you."
For any cultivator, losing their cultivation is an unbearable thing, especially for a top expert like Wei Shan. He went from being a peak figure who commanded a million-strong army to an ordinary old man. Most people would have already committed suicide.
For him, it was also an incredibly painful thing. It took him a long time to accept himself as he was now. If he hadn't been able to see that Chen Mu genuinely cared about him, he really wouldn't have wanted to bring it up.
"Back then at Azure Waves Pass, Luo Peng actually used a drop of the Devil Master's essence blood in order to kill me completely."
That drop of demonic blood corroded my Spirit of Creation and, consequently, polluted my inner world, nearly costing me my life.
In the end, it was my subordinates who sent me to the Brahma Sword World, where the sect leader personally used the power of the Brahma Sword World to completely separate my inner world from my physical body, thus saving my life.
However, I lost my cultivation after that, and there is no possibility of ever recovering it.
Wei Shan sighed deeply at the end, his eyes filled with despair.
