Chapter 106: Legendary Sword Saint Lu Qiusheng

  Having figured this out, Ning felt joyful in his heart and carefully examined the repaired ancient manual again. The first thing he saw was those four restored seal characters.

  This sight was nothing to worry about, but Ning Chong's eyes widened uncontrollably and his hands trembled violently, almost dropping the secret book on the ground. His eyes suddenly opened wide, his mouth agape, and after opening it several times, he seemed to have something to say, but couldn't get the words out.

  "Qingfeng Sword Art...... is actually Qingfeng Sword Art? Is this real......?"

  Ning Chong was too shocked, and it wasn't until half a day later that he muttered this sentence to himself, still with an expression of disbelief on his face!

  When it comes to "Clear Wind Swordsmanship", people's first reaction is Lu Jiusheng, the "Sword Saint of Clear Wind" from a thousand years ago.

  Lu Jiusheng, this legendary sword saint known to every household, a thousand years ago, assisted the founding emperor Wu of the Great Dryan Empire in destroying the empire established by the barbarians and driving them back to the cold north, restoring peace to the world. Lu Jiusheng also used his long sword to single-handedly kill 367 direct descendants of the imperial family of the previous dynasty, avenging a deep blood feud.

  The northern part of the Daqian Empire is Fengguo. Fengguo's geographical environment is harsh, it is a wild and barbarous land, with heavy snowfall all year round, extremely low temperatures, and the people of Fengguo make a living by fishing and hunting, their survival environment is extremely harsh, almost approaching a primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

  Compared to the Great Wind, Daqian is undoubtedly a heavenly place with a thriving culture and advanced civilization. Therefore, people from Daqian look down on those from Fengguo, considering them nothing more than a group of northern barbarians.

  This is not bad either, the Wind Country has never had much cultural heritage, and the people of the Wind Country are almost all relying on a natural instinct to survive, so some customs and habits in the eyes of the Daqian people are shocking.

  For example, in Fengguo, women are often shared. After the older brother dies, the younger brother can take in his sister-in-law; after the younger brother dies, the father can take in his daughter-in-law. Due to the harsh conditions of the north and men being more likely to survive, there are relatively fewer women, so much so that in some families, a dozen or so men share one woman, with no regard for human morality whatsoever.

  In a harsh environment like Feng Guo, the weak cannot survive, and only the strong can thrive. However, this has also made the people of Feng Guo have a ruthless and fierce personality, extremely fond of fighting.

  People of the Wind Country are born with strong bodies and robust physiques, possessing powerful physical strength. They are all fierce warriors who live by the law of the jungle, born to be fighters, crazy and bloodthirsty, even willing to draw their swords and kill on the streets for a single drink or sentence.

  These, the great dry people have also seen many times, and the impression of the crazy bloodthirsty of the great wind people is extremely deep and extremely dreaded.

  The people of Daqian think that the Fengguo people are not only barbarians, but also a group of madmen. When referring to the Fengguo people, they often use the term "mad barbarians".

  This title was passed down to the Wind Country, which had no cultural heritage and did not use written characters, yet it didn't cause any reaction, and instead was used by the people of the Wind Country to refer to themselves.

  For a long time, the Wind Country had been extremely chaotic, with the savage tribes constantly fighting each other for survival space in this snowy northern land, so it was difficult to pose any threat to Daqian. However, about over a thousand years ago, this situation changed, and a small tribe in the Wind Country produced an extraordinary strongman - Nuha.

  Nuhua was born different from ordinary people, he is nine feet tall, with hands that reach his knees, and arms that have a terrifying strength of tens of thousands of pounds, surpassing that of ordinary humans. Nuhua has both physical power and brains, having traveled to the Great Dryness, where he learned about its advanced civilization and knowledge, as well as martial arts.

  After that, Nuhak returned to the Wind Country after mastering the Way of Martial Arts and destroyed thousands of large and small tribes like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, unifying the entire Wind Country.

  After unifying the Wind Country, Nuhak established a nation. Naturally, he would no longer use the derogatory term "Fūjin", but since the people of the Wind Country had grown accustomed to it over their long history, Nuhak instead changed the name of the country to "Dai Fū" and began referring to his people as the "Fūzoku".

  This is the origin of "Big Wind" and "Wind Man".

  Nuhu was a generation of heroes, and also a powerful martial artist who was extremely formidable. He had a naturally strong body and immense strength, coupled with his high-level mastery of the martial way, making it extremely difficult for anyone in this world to be his match. His ambition did not lie in the martial way; after unifying the Great Wind, he did not stop, but instead began to launch a war against the Great Dryan with great ambition.

  Relying on the knowledge gained from Da Qian and the martial arts learned, Nuhu trained his subordinates, the Feng Ren, to become Wu Xiu. The Feng Ren were born with strong bodies and great strength, and after learning the profound martial arts, their combat power soared, instantly surpassing that of Da Qian's Wu Xiu.

  Nuhu relied on turning these well-trained Fengren into a powerful Wuxiu army, with combat power that looked down on the world, achieving countless victories, conquering one place after another, and even spreading throughout the land the legendary saying "A thousand Fengren are invincible".

  Just then, within the Great Dryness, a rebellion broke out among the imperial family members, inciting the forces of the Gate Sect to revolt, plunging the Great Dryness into chaos.

  Taking advantage of the internal and external troubles of the Great Khan, Nuha relied on some slaves to guide him and, without much effort, subdued the civilized people of the Great Khan as a barbarian outsider and seized the throne.

  On this basis, Nuha formally established the "Empire of Great Wind".

  Nuh knew deeply the power of the Daqian people, and after establishing the Great Wind Empire, he immediately began to implement the "Cutting Hair Order" and slave education, establishing a system of slavery. Nuh divided the people of the Great Wind Empire into four classes, with the Daqian people being the lowest and most contemptible class, and as long as they were Daqian people, they could basically only be slaves for life. Meanwhile, the Feng tribe and the imperial family of the Great Wind Empire, represented by Nuh, stood high above, enjoying the blood and sweat of the Daqian people, enslaving all the Daqian people, and acting as masters with relish.

  Regarding the martial arts that once helped him conquer the world, Nuha was even more taboo, and strictly prohibited anyone in Da Qian from learning martial arts except for the Wind Clan. Once discovered, they would be exterminated to the ninth degree of kinship.

  Nuhua attempted to destroy the civilization and martial arts heritage of Da Qian with such barbaric and brutal means, trying to make Da Qian return to its primitive state and become a savage, thereby making his and his descendants' rule as stable as a mountain.

  Nuh's methods were indeed effective, the civilization of Daqian suffered a nearly devastating blow, and the civilization retreated for hundreds of years. The martial arts also fell from their peak, and their decline has not been completely eliminated to this day.

  After Nuh, his descendants ruled the Great Dryness for another five hundred years by relying on absolute military force to suppress. Five hundred years later, Nuh's descendants declined rapidly, living a life of extravagance and corruption, and their oppression of the people of the Great Dryness became more and more severe. Even after their rule was solidified, they ruthlessly launched the "**" campaign simply to eliminate some nostalgic sentiments towards the previous dynasty among the people, resulting in tens of millions of innocent lives lost.

  Among them, Qingfeng Jian Sheng Lu Jiusheng was one of the victims.
