continued. Tulong Dao the precious sword was wanted by both sides when the other precious
sword Yitian Jien was found. It was believed that the one who owned these two swords would
have the ability to control the martial arts circle. During the time

Ming Jiao. At the same time the ambitious newcomer Jhu Yuanjhang grew fast in the Ming
Jiao community. With the help of Ming Jiao he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established
the Ming. However Ming Jiao as a religion was legally forbidden.

ex-enemy Jhao Min and the head of Emei, Jhou Jhihruo; the latter once owned both the two
swords and learned excellent wugong from the book secretly stored in the swords.

geographic knowledge, Chinese thoughts on mysterious wugong, with his deep understanding
of the human psyche guaranteed this book success. Readers of this book could always find
