105: Ancient myths are coming!

In the northeast of Huaxia, the endless mountains stretch for thousands of miles, home to countless rare treasures, and even fierce beasts that have evolved after the blood rain.

They carved up this vast wilderness, and battles erupted almost daily, all to contend for resource-rich territory.

But almost all the fierce beasts instinctively or forcibly stayed away from a snow-white peak deep in those mountains.

Whenever the fierce beasts gazed from afar, a sense of submission, and even fear, would involuntarily surface in their hearts.

“It seems that the Tiger King of the south does indeed have some tricks.”

“He actually killed the Dragon King!”

At this moment, a white fox with glossy fur, shimmering in the sunlight, put down her phone and gazed south, muttering to herself.

Her wise eyes seemed to see through everything, “This is getting interesting...”

There were no signs of people on this snowy mountain, yet the white fox had somehow acquired a phone.

But one thing was certain: she had set her sights on Xia Fan.

In another part of the same mountain range, a monkey, only about two meters tall, was also gazing south.

However, to be precise, this monkey was almost human; its upright posture was no different from a human's, though it appeared tall and thin, not as strong as a human.

Below him, four enormous giant monkeys were restless, twisting and turning occasionally, but all deferred to this upright monkey.

“Your Majesty, we have thoroughly investigated.”

One of the giant monkeys, urged by his three companions, finally chirped, “That Golden Tiger King is unrivaled in prestige, and now he has gained even more fame by battling the Dragon King from the Eastern Sea Area.”

“Now almost all humans fear him.”

“Yes, yes, that Tiger King is so mighty.”

Another giant monkey couldn't help but chatter, but under a single glance from the Monkey King, he immediately fell silent, even his body beginning to tremble.

“Hmph!”

After an unknown period, a look of disdain finally appeared on the Monkey King's face, “A mere Tiger King, yet his current renown far surpasses mine!”

“However, his good days are coming to an end.”

The Monkey King was also a being of extremely high intelligence, and unlike the previous Storm Fury and Bloody Butcher, who only knew how to act recklessly and ultimately met tragic ends.

“Continue to gather information related to the Tiger King.”

“Yes!”

...Central Region.

Here, there are still mountains all around, and many people live nearby, but there is one extremely tall peak that outsiders are ordinarily forbidden from entering.

At the foot of the mountain, there are overt and covert outposts, guarding day and night to prevent unauthorized entry.

This is where the ancient martial arts family—the Li family—resides.

“Wuwuwu...”

“My son, how could you leave your mother like this?!”

“I never imagined that meeting would be our last!”

“It’s mother’s fault...”

Wailing cries of sorrow, incessant sobs, and the intense grief caused the servants around to quickly lighten their steps, not daring to make too much noise.

“Madam, please don’t cry anymore!”

Seemingly annoyed by the crying, a middle-aged man looked at his wife with a complex expression, initially intending to scold her, but seeing his wife still wearing mourning clothes for their son, his tone softened, “Jian’er died at the hands of a fierce beast; he sacrificed himself for the country. We should be proud of him.”

“If you keep crying, you’ll harm your health.”

“You cold-blooded, heartless person!”

Suddenly, the beautiful woman abruptly looked up, her red eyes filled with endless sorrow and hatred, and then she screamed hysterically, “My own brother and my own son died! How can I not be sad?!”

“I told you not to let Jian’er go down the mountain, but you wouldn’t listen!”

“Give me back my son!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent.

His original intention was to let his son gain some experience down the mountain, and with his uncle watching over him, there should have been no problems.

But circumstances are unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, shortly after his son went down the mountain, news of both his son's and his elder brother-in-law's deaths came back simultaneously.

Those were his wife's closest relatives in this world.

Facing his almost irrational wife, the middle-aged man didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

As time passed, the beautiful woman's crying gradually subsided.

She lifted her tear-filled eyes, staring intently at the middle-aged man for a long time, and then continued, “I have already lost one son; I cannot lose a daughter as well.”

“No matter what, from now on, without my permission, you absolutely must not disclose anything about Sisi to those high-ranking officials.”

“They won't care about my child's life or death to achieve their goals!”

“Did you hear me?”

“Yes, yes...”

The middle-aged man hastily nodded, agreeing without hesitation.

Sisi, as his wife referred to her, was their daughter, and now the most talented person in the Li family.

Ancient martial arts families, with their long-standing traditions, also have many rules.

When Sisi was one year old, the family held a 'grasping ceremony' for her.

Just when everyone thought she would be interested in jewelry and clothes, Sisi unexpectedly grabbed a wooden sword.

In her later years, their daughter further displayed her interest and talent in swordsmanship.

“Sisi began practicing sword at three, and by seven, she had already reached a certain level, unrivaled among her peers.”

“This is a true sword prodigy!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes showed a trace of reminiscence, and he unconsciously smiled, “I still remember, when she was ten, she defeated me head-on.”

“It was from that time on that Sisi was destined to inherit the position of family head in the future. This is something no one can change.”

“However, she is only sixteen now; otherwise, the burden on me would be lighter.”

Hearing these words, some of the sorrow in the beautiful woman’s eyes also dissipated slightly.

She was truly proud of her daughter!

The Li family was a large enterprise, and the middle-aged man was in his prime, so he didn't feel there would be any problem with their daughter becoming the future family head.

Everything would proceed smoothly under their arrangements.

After the couple chatted for a while, the middle-aged man fell silent.

The beautiful woman noticed this and quickly pressed, “What, has something happened to Sisi?”

“I remember you usually couldn’t stop talking about our daughter; what’s wrong today?”

“No, it’s not that.”

The middle-aged man hesitated but still spoke his mind, while also giving his wife a heads-up, “You should also know that this world has actually changed.”

“And our Sisi, she is like the reincarnation of a sword immortal; her future is limitless, and she will definitely carry the banner for humanity.”

“However, it’s still a bit too early to talk about these things.”

Hearing this, the beautiful woman paused slightly, then agreed, “Yes, it’s a bit early...”
