Chapter 459: Chapter 0461: Just a Guess

At the same time, another person was equally perplexed, situated in the last compartment on the right, which had a different atmosphere from the others. It was filled with black gas, giving off a very oppressive feeling when one entered.

Three people were sitting inside, and the leader was an old man with graying hair dressed in a black robe. He had his eyes closed, sitting there as if he was asleep.

Two young men flanked him.

"Chu Ge actually made a move for a useless wooden fish?" One of the young men scratched his head, utterly puzzled about this.

Another young man sneered lightly, "It seems that this Chu Ge only has this much ability, not even able to discern a common wooden fish. It’s hard to imagine how the useless people from the Ghost Poison Sect were defeated by him!"

"It’s hard to say; I’ve heard that this Chu Ge is very strange. It might just be a trick to confuse us."

The other young man was unhappy and disdainfully said, "We are all here for the last auction item, who would be interested in another item? Especially a common wooden fish. Besides, even if it’s his trick, we don’t lose anything since we aren’t bidding. If they go on to bid, it might even be beneficial for us in the end."

As the two discussed, they saw that the elder hadn’t spoken yet and immediately became silent. Both looked at the elder, curious, and asked, "Elder Hei Yi, have you heard about Master Guangde?"

"Right, is Master Guangde really that famous?"

They knew that some very formidable figures might retreat into seclusion after achieving their fame. Though they weren’t familiar with the name of Master Guangde, it didn’t necessarily mean he wasn’t famous.

Elder Hei Yi slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze emitting a terrifying light, "You young people naturally wouldn’t know the name of Master Guangde; I too have only heard about this person from others. That said, it should be a matter from eighty years ago. At that time, the world of martial arts didn’t have as many Ancient Martial Sects, and the Ancient Martial Sects were just starting. The world of martial arts back then was not as treacherous as it is now; the focus was on righteousness."

Elder Hei Yi said this with a hint of self-mockery, as he too had been full of illusions about the world of martial arts, entering it with a heart aspiring to become famous around the world, but...

Elder Hei Yi lowered his eyes to look at the symbolic black robe on his body and silently sighed. The ways of the world are unpredictable...

Elder Hei Yi didn’t dwell on his feelings but began talking to them about Master Guangde.

"In the world of martial arts, where there are righteous people, there are evil ones. Back then, the two factions would occasionally wage war to dominate the martial arts world, and at that time, Master Guangde wasn’t called ’Master,’ Guangde was his actual name. He was just a little-known individual, but it was because of the war between the righteous and the evil factions that he made a name for himself and the name ’Guangde’ became renowned worldwide."

"Because of that war?" one of the young men asked, somewhat confused, "We also often have wars now, why haven’t we become world-famous like them?"

Elder Hei Yi glanced at him indifferently, slightly chuckling, "Our conflicts with others can only be considered minor skirmishes. Back then when the righteous and evil factions fought, almost all Ancient Martial Artists in the world were present. The battleground was in Snow Mountain next to Su City. I heard that it not only alarmed the entire martial arts community but also mobilized the local police force in Su City and even surrounding security personnel to prevent those Ancient Martial Artists from harming ordinary citizens.

As a result, the evil side, in order to divert the attention of the righteous side, really did start attacking ordinary people. The battle at that time was as horrific as the war movies we see now; no one could spare the effort to look after those ordinary people.

Including the police, they were ordinary people, unable to compete with Ancient Martial Artists.

Master Guangde was able to save those people from the hands of evil, and this is why he became famous around the world.

Later, who knows what happened, he retreated into the religious life of a monk; a martial artist who could save people from so many evildoers and even repel other evils, his ability was not just about ’Divine Communication.’

You can imagine how high his martial arts skills were, so at that time many people wanted to become his disciples, and the paths leading to the temple he entered nearly got worn out by people.

But he adamantly did not take a single disciple, and later news came out that he had retired to the woods, and since then he has vanished."

Elder Hei Yi finished explaining to them, his eyes twinkling mysteriously, unsure of Chu Ge’s intentions, or whether he genuinely understood Master Guangde or was just interested in the wooden fish.

To be honest, looking at that wooden fish, he saw nothing special, yet Chu Ge had bid for it, leaving him utterly unclear what this person was really thinking.

Elder Hei Yi thought that a person capable of annihilating the Ghost Poison Sect, especially being so young, must be extremely dangerous and profoundly enigmatic.

Meanwhile, in Chu Ge’s room, Zhao Wuji and Huo Tianqian were also shockingly looking at Chu Ge, filled with incomprehension.

"Mr. Chu, are you truly going to bid for this wooden fish?" Zhao Wuji asked, puzzled.

He didn’t understand the significance of this wooden fish, and for him or for Chu Ge, three hundred thousand was like a drop in the ocean, hardly worth mentioning. Yet he just couldn’t grasp what secret about this wooden fish that made Chu Ge decide to bid for it.

Chu Ge nodded slightly, "This wooden fish isn’t really special, and it wasn’t even personally put up for auction by Master Guangde."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Wuji was even more shocked.

"Master Guangde and my old man were close friends. Although he has been in seclusion for many years, he would occasionally come out anonymously to wander the world and chat with a few of his close friends. Knowing him as I do, Master Guangde would never put a wooden fish up for auction, for him, this wooden fish is a companion."

A person living alone in the woods, what else could he have but a wooden fish as his companion?

So he asserted that this wooden fish definitely wasn’t put up for auction by Master Guangde himself.

His heart harbored a bold guess; someone must have stolen Master Guangde’s wooden fish.

But that was just a speculation.
