Chapter 009: Seven Swords of Kunlun

After Wang Bo and his companions left the Valley of Evil together, they planned to make a trip to the Divine Sword Villa.

The renowned Divine Sword Villa in the martial world had suddenly been wiped out, and even the peerless swordsman Xie Xiaofeng had gone missing. Yet no one in the martial world knew what had actually happened.

Even fewer knew who had destroyed the Divine Sword Villa.

This had become a major unsolved mystery in the martial world.

The strength of the Divine Sword Villa was among the top sects in the entire martial world; someone who could silently annihilate the Divine Sword Villa almost did not exist.

Moreover, there was Xie Xiaofeng in the Divine Sword Villa.

But even so, they were still wiped out, and even organizations like the Azure Garret could not uncover the inside story, showing that this matter ran very deep.

So Wang Bo wanted to go and see for himself; perhaps it was related to the projection of the Underworld.

Only a high-level power like the projection of the Underworld could destroy the Divine Sword Villa.

However, what Wang Bo did not expect was that as soon as they left the Valley of Evil and descended Mount Kunlun, several Taoist priests hurried over, seemingly about to go up the mountain.

When the Taoist priests saw Wang Bo and the other two, they involuntarily stopped.

Most of their gazes were fixed on Hela and Lady Gremory, for the two women were both divine beings, with beauty that could topple kingdoms and an unparalleled aura, like the bright moon in the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

Wang Bo swept his gaze over the few people, ignored them, and continued forward, but one of the Taoists called out to him, "Young hero, please wait."

Wang Bo stopped and looked at the other, "Something?"

The Taoist said, "I am one of the Seven Swords of Kunlun, the Fourth Vulture. I wish to ask something of you, young hero, and the two young ladies. I wonder if you three might oblige me."

"The Seven Swords of Kunlun? Never heard of them." Wang Bo shook his head. In this world, he basically knew all the famous and skilled masters, but the Seven Swords of Kunlun... wait.

Wang Bo suddenly remembered. In The Legendary Siblings, when Yan Nantian first entered the Valley of Evil, he was blocked by seven people. It seemed they were the Seven Swords of Kunlun.

Wang Bo recalled that the seven had joined forces and barely managed to block one sword strike from Yan Nantian.

Their skill was truly mediocre.

But that wasn't right either. Yan Nantian was, after all, the number one divine sword under heaven, a super-first-rate figure in this world of martial heroes, with martial arts that shocked the world. For several people to join forces and block one of his strikes, they couldn't be weak.

Hearing that Wang Bo and his group didn't know them, the Seven Swords of Kunlun were not angry, only smiling bitterly. The Taoist said politely, "We few have only a modest reputation near Kunlun Mountain. It's only natural that you haven't heard of us, young hero."

These words made Wang Bo see them in a new light.

Martial artists always cared about face; they would draw their swords over a bit of fame.

If it had been anyone else, hearing Wang Bo's words, they would have flown into a rage, feeling insulted. But these Taoists, upon hearing his words, showed no anger. Such self-restraint was not something ordinary people possessed.

"Speak, then. What do you want to ask?" Wang Bo was quite polite to these courteous people.

The Taoist thanked him before speaking, "Young hero and the two young ladies, have you just come out of the Valley of Evil?"

Wang Bo nodded.

The Taoist continued, "Actually, it's like this: not long ago, we saw a great light shining from the Valley of Evil nearby, with thunderbolts streaking across the sky, so we hurried over to see what had happened in the Valley of Evil."

Wang Bo realized, "So you came out of curiosity."

Another Taoist shook his head and said, "Young hero, you may not know this, but a few years ago, a strange event occurred in the Valley of Evil. A horde of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts emerged from nowhere, killing everyone they saw, nearly slaughtering the entire valley. Only a handful of villains escaped from the valley and vanished without a trace."

Pausing, the Taoist continued, "We originally thought that after these vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts had massacred the Valley of Evil, they would leave and go on a killing spree. But for some reason, they never took a single step out of the valley."

"So we had no choice but to keep watch here day and night, monitoring every move of the spirits and ghosts. If any came out, we could try to stop them and warn the nearby villagers to flee for their lives."

"Today, a sudden change occurred in the Valley of Evil. Fearing that some evil ghost might emerge, we rushed over to investigate. Unexpectedly, we encountered you, young hero, and the two young heroines here."

After listening, Wang Bo stared directly at them. The others met his gaze without flinching, their eyes full of candor.

"I never thought I would meet such chivalrous people here."

There are far too many scheming and deceitful people in the martial world. For someone like the Seven Swords of Kunlun to act in such a manner is truly worthy of being called chivalrous.

"I can answer that question. Not long ago, the vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts in the Valley of Evil angered the heavens, so the heavens sent down thunderbolts to sweep them away. Now, the spirits and ghosts in the valley have been completely cleansed, leaving only ruins. But you should not spread this matter."

The Taoist nodded in agreement.

The Valley of Evil could be said to be a persistent scourge of the martial world.

Inside the valley were all highly skilled villains, and any evildoer from outside who had committed crimes and had no way out would enter the valley to take refuge. Over time, the entire valley became a paradise for villains.

Once you enter this valley, you will never be a slave.

These eight words fully captured the essence of the Valley of Evil and its rampant arrogance.

Especially since the place was easy to defend and hard to attack. Countless chivalrous heroes had tried to eradicate the Valley of Evil but were forced to retreat due to its geographical advantages.

Countless people in the martial world gnashed their teeth in hatred at the Valley of Evil but could do nothing about it.

It wasn't until the strange event a few years ago, when vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts appeared and destroyed the valley, that many in the martial world cried out in relief.

Now, a change had occurred in the Valley of Evil: heaven had sent down thunderbolts to sweep away the spirits and ghosts.

If this news were to spread, letting the world know that the spirits and ghosts in the valley were gone, causing the Valley of Evil to rise again, that would be their fault.

"Please rest assured, young hero. We can swear to heaven that we will never spread this matter, lest the Valley of Evil rise again."

Wang Bo nodded, then turned and left with Hela and Lady Gremory.

Meanwhile, the Seven Swords of Kunlun rushed off toward the Valley of Evil.

Although they believed Wang Bo's words, they wanted to see with their own eyes whether what he said was true or false.

After all, in these times, people's hearts are separated by walls; no one knows what the other is really thinking.

Moreover, a young man like Wang Bo appearing in the Valley of Evil was suspicious in itself.
