“Brother Sun.” Lu Yuan tentatively asked.

At this time, Sun Siwen’s demeanor was somewhat off as he kept muttering under his breath, “Nonsense, nonsense, how could there be such immortal beings in this world. Flying high and burrowing deep, cleaving mountains and splitting rivers, truly ignorant and foolish, to believe in such absurdities.” Well, Mr. Sun seemed to be a bit shaken at this moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan could only shake his head, take a sip of wine, and think to himself.

Unlike the countryside landlords who were only amazed by the fascinating stories and never probing into their authenticity.

As someone who had practiced martial arts and made some achievements, Lu Yuan had no doubt about the various amazing things that martial arts could achieve.

But if you made him believe that martial arts could accomplish things like flying and burrowing, cleaving mountains and splitting rivers, it would be a bit insulting to his intelligence.

“Maybe those grandmasters, or even great-grandmasters, who claim to be able to cleave mountains and split rivers, I can reluctantly accept, after all, they are truly legendary figures.”

But saying that a martial arts leader who is only a first-rate name in the Jianghu can fly and tunnel, cleave mountains and split rivers, is just treating people as fools.”

Lu Yuan, of course, didn’t believe what Li Er said.

The Cloud Palm skill that he himself practiced was a second-rate palm skill, capable of being cultivated to the entry-level of the second-rate.

However, even if the Cloud Palm is practiced to its pinnacle, and he himself enters the second-rate realm, Lu Yuan thought he could only break a piece of bluestone with one palm, and that would be his limit.

But for a first-rate master, just a large realm higher than the second-rate, it is said that they could fly and tunnel, cleave mountains and split rivers, isn’t this nonsense?

“It can’t be that the difference between the first-rate and the second-rate is like the difference between mortals and immortals, right? Where one could ascend to immortality upon passing?”

It was precisely because he had practiced martial arts that Lu Yuan knew at a glance that Li Er’s exaggerated descriptions had been heavily modified by many people.

It makes sense.

As the news spread from Fairy Maiden Ridge, it would have to pass through the mouths of several people and several places along the way.

As for rumors, once they ferment, there would naturally be countless interpretations, and then people would spread them again according to their own understanding.

Eventually, the story would become completely unrecognizable, which is not surprising at all.

“However, although the news is exaggerated, the information is not entirely useless and allows me to confirm a few points.”

Lu Yuan sipped his wine, wearing a solemn expression, and his mind was rapidly processing, slowly extracting the false information that had been exaggerated and artistically modified, and sifting out the true information he wanted.

“First, it is true that Fang Tianying was defeated.”

“Second, the Eagle King is only severely injured, but not dead. The Black Wind Gang hasn’t been driven out of Luling Prefecture, which means that the bandit crisis will continue for some time.”

“Third, Li Er said that Wang Quan, the local commander of the Luling Prefecture garrison, had also wanted to attack the Eagle King. But somehow, a mysterious masked man in black appeared out of nowhere and stopped Wang

Quan.”

Because of this, the original plan for a three-pronged attack turned into a two-pronged one, allowing the Eagle King to escape.”

As Lu Yuan pondered the three pieces of information he had extracted, he already had an answer in mind: “So, as expected, the people behind Fang Tianying intervened in the duel.”

And it’s precisely because Fang Tianying knew that he had someone backing him, he initiated the duel, knowing he wouldn’t die.

As for the purpose of his duel, was it to provoke? To demonstrate?

Or something else?”

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, feeling that it was veiled in heavy fog, making it difficult to find the truth and clues within.

This answer seemed to be only revealing the surface layer to him..
