Juxian Manor

Juxian Manor is the setting of the battle that left Xiao Feng convinced that the heroes of the Central Plains would never again accept him. Its significance extends beyond the confrontation itself: the violence becomes part of the burden he carries while seeking the truth about his father’s murder and imagining a life far from the world that has condemned him.

The Battle’s Aftermath

When Xiao Feng speaks with A’Zhu about finding the prime murderer of his father, he recalls the many people he killed at Juxian Manor. He expects that those deaths have created deep hatred among the heroes of the martial world, but he does not seek their forgiveness. His stated aim is to end the matter that haunts him and then leave with A’Zhu for a life beyond the Great Wall, away from the Central Plains’ heroes and their disputes.

That resolve makes the manor a lasting point of rupture. Xiao Feng’s reputation among the martial world’s heroes is no longer separable from the battle there; even if the mystery of his father’s murder can be resolved, he does not imagine returning to their company or asking them to clear his name.

A Measure of Xiao Feng’s Martial Power

Later, A’Zhu recounts a discussion of martial arts she overheard while serving tea to Murong Bo and Murong Fu. Murong Bo had argued that a powerful practitioner did not need a large repertoire to defeat opponents: with a strong foundation and deep internal energy, even ordinary techniques could achieve extraordinary force.

Xiao Feng recognizes the principle from his own experience at Juxian Manor. He had fought numerous heroes there using only Founder’s Long Fist, a set of techniques known to everyone, and had left even first-class experts admiring his ability. The reference makes the battle a demonstration not simply of victory, but of how extraordinary mastery can transform an ordinary style into an overwhelming one.

A Landmark in the Larger Story

In Xiao Feng’s conversations with A’Zhu, the memory of Juxian Manor stands beside his pursuit of the person responsible for his father’s death. The battle’s public consequence and his private quest pull in different directions: A’Zhu hopes that exposing the truth will restore his reputation, while Xiao Feng says he does not seek the heroes’ forgiveness and wants only to settle the matter and depart.

The manor thus marks the cost of Xiao Feng’s passage through the Central Plains martial world. It is both the scene of a decisive display of his skill and a cause of the alienation that informs his imagined future beyond the Great Wall.
