Peerless City, Dugu City.
The butler was awakened by a series of hurried knocks on the door.
"Who is it? He's here."
The unceremonious knocking made the butler frown. However, when he opened the door of the mansion, he realized that there was no one there.
The butler scratched his head, thinking that it was some naughty child's prank.
Just as he was about to close the door and leave, he saw a letter in front of the door from the corner of his eye.
"Dugu Yifang?"
The butler picked it up, looked at the four big words on it, and quickly walked into the manor.
"Father, are we really going to form an alliance with the World Association?”
Dugu Ming looked at his father who was sitting in the mansion and asked with some doubt.
Dugu Yifang was wearing a long grey robe, and his shoulders were covered with a set of thorny armor, which shone with a cold light.
He had a tiger-like face and two crescent-shaped beards hanging from his lips. Although his appearance was not outstanding, his aura was like a fierce tiger.
"This is a delaying tactic." Dugu Yifang said," The World Association is currently in the limelight. We can't go head to head with that Xiong Ba.”
"But Uncle has already come out of seclusion. We have the Unparalleled Sword, so why should we be afraid of him?”
Dugu Ming recalled the heroic bearing of the Sword Saint, and his heart was filled with longing.
"Shallow!" Dugu Yifang looked at his son, who seemed to be taking things for granted, and was a little annoyed." You're already so old. Can't you use your brain?!"”
Dugu Ming silently lowered his head, not looking at his father.
Dugu Yifang stood up." Our top priority now is to revive Peerless City, not to fight to the death with the World Association.”
"Yes, Father." Dugu Ming was somewhat unconvinced by Dugu Yifang's reprimand.
Dugu Yifang looked at him, who had already grown into a young man, but his temperament was still not mature. His heart was filled with melancholy. He was about to scold him again when he heard the butler's announcement outside the door.
"What is it?" Dugu Yifang asked.
"Milord, there is a letter for you.”The butler respectfully handed over the envelope with both hands.
Dugu Yifang furrowed his brows. He could tell that there was something fishy about the butler's words.
Dugu Ming curiously poked his head over. He didn't expect Dugu Yifang to be so shocked when he saw the beginning.
Dugu Yifang closed the letter and asked the butler," Where's that person?”
"I didn't see it." The butler lowered his head and said.
"What's wrong, Father?"
Dugu Ming saw the shock on his father's face that he had never shown before, as if someone had revealed a secret that had been hidden for many years.
"You can leave first." Dugu Yifang suppressed the surprise in his heart and chased the butler away.
Dugu Ming looked at Dugu Yifang with a puzzled expression after seeing the butler's figure disappear completely.
Dugu Yifang's face was currently gloomy and uncertain. Dugu Ming had never seen such a loss of composure. In his impression, his father would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. This was also the first time Dugu Ming had seen such an appearance.
"Father, don't scare me. You don't look like my father.”
Seeing that Dugu Yifang did not respond for a long time, Dugu Ming was also a little anxious.
However, he didn't expect that when Dugu Ming finished the second half of his sentence, Dugu Yifang seemed to have his tail stepped on. He flew into a rage and said,""Little brat, who are you calling your father? Get lost!"
Dugu Ming didn't want to get into trouble, so he quickly ran out of the hall.
"This is really ridiculous. Who did I offend?”
Dugu Ming ran out with a depressed expression.
Dugu Yifang's expression had completely collapsed.
He studied the letter in his hand over and over again, as if he wanted to pierce it with his eyes.
"You are not the real Dugu Yifang."
The first nine words were like nine sharp daggers that stabbed deeply into his heart.
"Impossible! No one knows this secret!" Dugu Yifang sat on his throne in a daze.
"Come to the World Conference in nine days. I will let you know more about the truth.”
Dugu Yifang suppressed the agitation and uneasiness in his heart." Who is it? Who in the world would know?"
"Xiong Ba? No, it's not him."
"No, that's not right either. His three disciples don't often appear.”
"That sissy is even more impossible. Who is it?”
Dugu Yifang, who had been trying his best to conceal the truth for more than ten years, had been exposed by someone. He had fallen into a deep fear and was going crazy.
"I have to go to the World Conference and see what this person's goal is.”
Dugu Yifang took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He made a response in his heart.
At this moment, in the backyard of Dugu Manor.
A figure silently arrived outside the courtyard wall. After confirming the location, he threw the letter in his hand and immediately retreated.
"Who is it?" A deep voice came from the courtyard.
A middle-aged man jumped up and landed on the wall.
However, the person from before had already disappeared.
The middle-aged man frowned and turned around to take down the letter that had been nailed to the wall.
He had a heavy face and wore a dark robe. His white eyebrows curved in an arc above his eyes, and his eyes kept flashing like a god of war.
Nameless South, Sword Saint of the North.
As the successor of the Unparalleled Sword, Dugu Jian was born a sword fanatic. He learned the sword at the age of five, became famous at the age of nine, and comprehended the sword way at the age of thirteen. Later on, he founded the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.
Unfortunately, he was defeated by Wu Ming, who was known as the "Heavenly Sword", in a battle with his inexplicable sword technique and retired from the martial world.
Now, in order to revive Wushuang City, Dugu Jian had stepped into the martial world again.
Dugu Jian opened the letter. There were only a few words on it.
"Nine days later, Wuming will come to the World Meeting.”
This sudden letter made Dugu Jian unable to calm down for a long time.
The indifference from before had disappeared and was replaced by the fighting spirit of Sword Pointing to the Sky.
"Nameless!" Recalling the battle with Tian Jian, Dugu Jian was very unwilling to accept his defeat.
Dugu Jian instantly burst out with a sharp sword intent. The Unparalleled Sword, which was originally quietly glowing with a cold light, instantly let out a galloping roar.
Dugu Jian had made up his mind. Although he didn't know the purpose of the person who wrote this letter, he had to go personally.
"Now, I've comprehended the twenty-third form of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique. I'll definitely defeat you!”
