They're still so far away, they haven't even appeared yet...
This martial arts skill and strength made him tremble with fear, and at the same time, he was extremely envious.
"The Wu family patriarch, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, should have reached the pinnacle of perfection..."
"That's right, but I just can't figure out why a martial saint would hide his strength."
"Logically speaking, someone who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts should be able to become a giant in the martial arts alliance, intimidating all directions and inspiring fear in others."
The Wu family patriarch frowned in thought: "In order to cover up this secret, our Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm not only suppressed his cultivation level to the ninth rank of martial artist, but now he is also afraid that others will know that he made the move, so that everyone will mistakenly think that it was Minister Nangong. This... is a bit strange."
Upon hearing the Wu family patriarch's guess, everyone fell silent once again.
"Could it be that the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm is unwilling to be high-profile? This mentality is also in line with his usual low-key nature."
"If Ye Fan suddenly reveals such formidable strength, he is likely to attract jealousy and resentment."
The Wu family patriarch pondered for a moment, and finally gave Ye Fan a reason: "So he chose to keep a low profile, hoping to live out the rest of his life in peace."
"That makes sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to hide his strength. Once he makes a move, he'll definitely sweep across the land."
Deng Tai'a said softly, "It seems he really doesn't like being high-profile and doesn't want to cause trouble."
...............
Along the rugged path in Wangcheng Mountain, towering trees line both sides, their lush foliage blocking out the sunlight and creating a dark and chilly atmosphere in the forest.
When Minister Nangong walked along this path, he found it overgrown with weeds and covered with thorns, a desolate and bleak scene.
At this moment, her body was covered in wounds, and her face was haggard, but she remained calm.
Although she is a woman, and now she is injured, it does not diminish her pride and resilience.
She walked step by step toward Ye Fan's courtyard, and when her gaze fell upon a young man standing outside the fenced gate, a sudden surge of excitement welled up inside her...
A gust of wind blew by, and fallen leaves tumbled and danced in the air, while the setting sun slanted down on Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's clothes fluttered in the wind, his black hair flew wildly, and he looked like a god.
He stood quietly, exuding an aura of domineering arrogance that made it hard to breathe.
Nangong Pushe stopped in his tracks.
Her eyes shone with adoration and fervor, as if she were looking at an idol.
Her pretty face beamed with a smile, as radiant as melting winter snow.
"Is he waiting for me?" Nangong Pushe suddenly felt a little nervous.
She tried to control her emotions and continued walking, but with each step she took, her delicate body trembled slightly, clearly due to the pain.
Ye Fan was enveloped in a faint radiance, standing there quietly, as if all things in the world were under his control.
His gaze was peaceful, and his lips held a gentle and composed expression, yet he possessed an unapproachable and aloof air that made him unapproachable.
Minister Nangong seemed to realize his overstepping his bounds and quickly composed himself before stepping forward to say, "Young Master!"
Her voice was soft and melodious, like a nightingale, bringing a sense of endless tranquility.
"Hmm, your knife broke?" Ye Fan asked casually.
Although he was in the courtyard, he could still see everything that happened at Wangjian Mountain very clearly.
"It's broken..."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's question, Minister Nangong answered respectfully...
Ye Fan didn't say anything after hearing this, but he was thinking to himself that Nangong Pushe was injured because Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng wanted to go up the mountain to find him, and that her sword was also injured because of learning to warm and nurture the sword, which was inextricably linked to him.
He could also sense Nangong Pushe's frustration and disappointment at losing his twin blades!
He knew even better that Minister Nangong intended to use the Embroidered Winter Thunder Blade to seek revenge on her father. Now that both blades were broken, her resolve had been greatly diminished, and it seemed that it would even affect her swordsmanship...
Alas, it's such a pity that such a peerless genius as Minister Nangong has been wasted.
"No matter what, you have helped me, and I owe you a huge favor."
Ye Fan sighed softly to himself.
"I have a few knives in my little courtyard. Go take a look and see if there's one that suits you."
He spoke casually, as if he were merely recounting something insignificant, or as if he were simply tossing down a few items.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Nangong Pushe felt a warmth in his heart, and a glistening tear welled up in his eyes.
She neither refused nor acted coy, but simply said softly, "Thank you, young master."
After saying that, Ye Fan turned around and sat down in the rocking chair under the grape trellis, swaying gently as he gazed at the distant scenery.
Chapter 75 Ye Fan's courtyard was surprisingly a hidden paradise!
Although it was called a small courtyard, when Minister Nangong arrived with Ye Fan, he discovered that the courtyard was not small at all.
Nangong Pushe's true identity is Xie Guanying's biological daughter.
Xie Guanying was the murderer of Nangong Pushe's mother, and also the target of her training the Nineteen Stops technique.
However, before all this happened, Minister Nangong was still living by Xie Guanying's side.
Xie Guanying was the eldest grandson of the Xie family of Jiayang, one of the ten most powerful families in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Xie residence was as luxurious as any of the most prestigious commercial households today.
Indeed, according to Minister Nangong's standards, there are few buildings that can surprise her.
However, Ye Fan's small courtyard, which contained the so-called few 'knives', is clearly not within this category.
As Ye Fan arrived at the gate of the 'small courtyard', Nangong Pushe's watery eyes widened in surprise the moment Ye Fan pushed open the gate.
"This...this is called a courtyard?"
To Nangong Pushe's surprise, this courtyard was already the size of the main house of a typical merchant's residence.
In the center of the courtyard is a small hill, three to five meters high. If you look closely, you can see that the rocks are shimmering with a metallic luster under the sunlight.
With Nangong Pushe's discerning eye, he immediately recognized that the entire small mountain was composed entirely of extraterrestrial black iron!
Celestial Iron is not just a rare metal; even within the royal families of large dynasties like the Tang and Liyang, the amount of Celestial Iron they possess does not exceed ten kilograms.
Moreover, these extraterrestrial meteorites are not only rare and difficult to find.
In terms of material strength, few metals can compare with it.
Many divine weapons are so powerful that they can cut through iron like mud and destroy gold and jade simply because they contain a small amount of meteorite iron.
It is truly a rare and precious treasure.
However, this treasure was simply piled up like a mound of dirt in Ye Fan's backyard.
This scene was naturally witnessed by many powerful people around the world through the Truman System.
Like Minister Nangong, countless people were shocked by this small mountain, which was entirely composed of meteorite iron from outer space.
Wu Family Sword Tomb
The current leader of the Wu family, who is also the current Sword Champion, is Wu Jian.
At this moment, the main hall of the Wu family residence was crowded with people.
In addition to the many outstanding young talents of the Wu family this year, all the elders in power of the Wu family have also gathered here.
The expressions on these people's faces were very strange at that moment.
Because there is also a sword mountain in the Wu family's sword tomb.
This Sword Mountain contains tens of thousands of precious swords.
These swords are all peerless treasures collected by successive heads and members of the Wu family through painstaking efforts.
The swords in Wu Family Sword Mountain were won, stolen, or collected. They came from all sorts of sources.
Regardless of how they were acquired, any one of these swords would be enough to make swordsmen from the outside world fight tooth and nail for it.
However, even among the swords in the Wu family's sword tomb, only a handful can be made from meteorite iron from outer space.
Even more so, these swords only contained a small amount of extraterrestrial meteorite iron.
Even so, these swords, which are mixed with meteorite iron from outer space, are still only used and worn by the Wu family's successive generations of sword masters or main elders.
This is why the Wu family members have an unexpected obsession with extraterrestrial meteorite iron.
Over the years, whenever members of the Wu family went out to gain experience or conduct business, they would subconsciously search for the whereabouts of the extraterrestrial meteorite.
However, even after several centuries, the number of extraterrestrial meteorites that can be found remains extremely limited.
Now, the Wu family sees the priceless treasure they have been searching for in vain lying casually in Ye Fan's courtyard, like wasteland and withered leaves.
How could the Wu family not feel heartbroken?
Moreover, this pile of extraterrestrial meteorite iron was also filled with many different kinds of weapons.
Long spears, swords, long-handled daggers, and iron whips.
It can be said that it has all kinds of weapons.
What surprised the Wu family even more was that every weapon stuck in the pile of meteorite iron was of far superior quality to many of the famous swords in the Wu family's sword tomb!
“Gan Jiang… Mo Xie…aren’t these the legendary masterpieces of the sword-making master?” The eldest elder of the Wu family’s sword tomb was startled by the swords hidden in Ye Fan’s courtyard.
