Yun Yang chuckled humorlessly. "This person's feat is far from this. This person has charged into the golden palace many times back then, meeting the emperor directly for the wronged officials and vouching for them with his life … He's been extremely supportive towards his disciples as well, fulfilling all their requests. He can be said to be a model scholar, a sage. If anything were to happen to him, there would be countless scholars willing to die for him."
"There would also be countless high-ranking officials who would stand up for him, unwavering and unwavering in their determination."
Yun Yang said, "That's why I said that this person is a loyal and righteous man. Add to that the fact that he's popular and highly respected. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's a living sage!"
Ling Xiaozui scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"This person's name is He Hanqing." Yun Yang said, "I wonder if Elder Ling has heard of this name before."
The expression on Ling Xiaozui's face turned strange.
The shock had disappeared, but what replaced it was an inexplicable expression. "So it's him."
Yun Yang said, "So Elder Ling knows his name too?"
Ling Xiaozui chuckled humorlessly and enunciated each word clearly, "Not only do I know him, he's Supreme Lord Spring Frost!"
Once the last four words left his mouth, Yun Yang felt his body tremble violently.
Yun Yang could only feel a violent shudder run through his body. For a moment, it was as if thunder had rumbled in his mind, causing his eardrums to buzz.
He had only asked casually, his original intention was to test if Ling Xiaozui had heard of this person's name. He had never expected Ling Xiaozui to give him an answer that caught him off guard.
With Ling Xiaozui's reputation and status, he would never lie or say anything wrong.
Perhaps, for Ling Xiaozui to be so certain, he must have been certain of this and had even crossed paths with this person before!
However …
A great scholar of his generation!
An old official of three dynasties!
The ancestor of scholars!
A loyal and righteous man!
Such a person, who was like a sage in this world, was actually full of evil, devoid of conscience, perverse, cruel, merciless, and deranged … Supreme Lord Spring Frost!
Thinking back to the Four Seasons Tower's people whom he had met in the past, Supreme Lord Spring Frost would die immediately once he spoke of him; it would be an eerie and horrifying death where his soul would be destroyed and his body turned into a mummy …
Then, she thought of the benevolent, senile, and righteous He Hanqing. If nothing went wrong, his name would definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and his name would go down in history.
Yun Yang could not help but shudder at the thought of it.
"Back when I was dealing with the Four Seasons Tower, I had encountered this He Hanqing. Yes, Supreme Lord Spring Frost. Almost all the plots and traps against me were his handiwork. In the end, he even joined forces with another Supreme Lord to annihilate me …"
Ling Xiaozui heaved a long sigh. "I mentioned that two of the four Supreme Lords were severely injured by me in the battle just now. One of them is Supreme Lord Spring Frost. He Hanqing, with your current shallow cultivation base, of course, you won't be able to recognize him. If the two of you had crossed paths before, I'd really wonder how you managed to escape from him. You're really too lucky!"
Yun Yang's hair stood on end as he listened.
This He Hanqing, Elder He, was actually a formidable presence who could exchange blows with Ling Xiaozui!
He had even managed to escape when Ling Xiaozui's murderous intent was at its peak after an intense battle. He had only paid the price of being severely injured!
"Elder Ling is known as the Unrivaled Expert. Could it be …" Yun Yang asked carefully.
"Don't mention the title of Unrivaled Expert in front of me." The bitter smile on Ling Xiaozui's face was genuine this time.
"How can I be the Unrivaled Expert with my insignificant abilities? Has there ever been a Unrivaled Expert in this world? " Ling Xiaozui said solemnly, "If there is, the Unrivaled Expert must have been framed by his enemy."
Yun Yang coughed and scratched his head.
However, he was inwardly shaken.
Ling Xiaozui had said, "This is my insignificant ability."
Insignificant?
At Ling Xiaozui's level, he would not use such a tone to be humble. There was no need to.
Then … what did this mean?
"When I went against the Four Seasons Tower head-on, I was at most a martial artist with some reputation in the martial world. However, after a few decades of pursuit, I was suddenly crowned as the Unrivaled Expert of the world …"
Ling Xiaozui's smile was bitter. "Even that poem … was written by the Four Seasons Tower's Mr. Nian."
The more Yun Yang thought about it, the more horrified he felt. A chill ran down his spine.
The divine dragon soars in the mortal realm, a pot and a sword soar to the heavens; there are countless people in the four seas and eight wastelands, the world's heroes are supreme!
Such a resounding poem … was actually used to frame people?
"Is it really good to be famous? Since then, the challenges, attacks, traps, and ambushes I encountered were even more than what the Four Seasons Tower had purposely arranged. This is the price of being famous. A person may not be willing to bear it, but he has to … "Ling Xiaozui chuckled bitterly." The grudge has been settled, but this title can't be taken down … I can only be the martial world's target for the rest of my life. "
Yun Yang nodded quietly.
The Four Seasons Tower's move was indeed vicious, killing without spilling blood.
If Ling Xiaozui's title as the world's Unrivaled Expert could not be taken off, the turmoil caused by this title would never cease in the long run. The ultimate outcome would still be buried under these six words!
Beheading the Unrivaled Expert, Ling Xiaozui!
What kind of title was this?
Who in the martial world would not want it?
Yun Yang thought about it and said, "If that's the case, this He Hanqing isn't a man with lofty ideals, nor is he a loyal and righteous man. He's just fishing for fame, an ambitious man who paves the way for the Four Seasons Tower. "
Ling Xiaozui frowned and said, "That may not be the case. He has done a lot of good things for the Empire of Yutang. Although his motive may not be for the Empire of Yutang, it's more to balance the continent's situation, the benefits are real!"
Yun Yang said indifferently, "His merits have never been in my eyes. I only know that he's Supreme Lord Spring Frost. His Lingering Blood Curse of Speech has caused all his subordinates to lose their lives immediately as soon as they utter the words' Supreme Lord Spring Frost '. Just this alone is enough for him to die a thousand times. Even if he were to die a thousand times, he would not be forgiven!"
"Lingering Blood Curse of Speech?" Ling Xiaozui sat up straight, his expression serious. "Has he really cultivated the Lingering Blood Curse of Speech?"
"That's right." Yun Yang thought about it and said, "I've previously confirmed and imprisoned a few Four Seasons Tower's men. However, once they uttered the words' Supreme Lord Spring Frost ', smoke would rise from their bodies immediately, their flesh and blood would dry up. Even their bones would turn into dust. They died a horrible death."
"This is the terror of the Lingering Blood Curse of Speech. Those who violate the blood curse will have their souls dispersed and their spirits destroyed. "Ling Xiaozui's expression was grim.
"Recently, the Empire of Yutang's veterans who had retired and returned home due to their physical disabilities have been disappearing continuously. Nine of them have gone missing at once, "Yun Yang said faintly," Besides, the relationship between these nine people must be very good. "
Ling Xiaozui felt his blood rush to his head.
As the top expert of the martial world, a martial arts master of his generation, Ling Xiaozui naturally knew of such a wicked method of searching for people. The Spectral Path of the Soul, the Abyss Path of Flesh.
Just the thought of such a wicked method filled him with rage.
"There's such a thing?"
"Yes. It's because of this that I met He Hanqing by chance. However, I didn't know that he was the Supreme Lord Spring Frost that I've been searching for. " Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath. "It's good that the two are one. This Supreme Lord Spring Frost's ability is unfathomable. Looking at the entire Empire of Yutang … no one can stop him now."
Ling Xiaozui hesitated for a moment. A murderous aura rose from him, but it disappeared immediately.
He said in distress, "But … my promise …"
Looking at Ling Xiaozui's dilemma, Yun Yang suddenly had a strange feeling about this world's Unrivaled Expert.
Such a person valued keeping his promise more than his own life.
Although he was rather pedantic, he had to admit that he was a very adorable person.
Besides, Yun Yang also felt that it was because of this unyielding temperament that this person had reached his current martial realm!
If he had given up on his beliefs and promises, he would not be so frightening, nor would he be so adorable!
Yun Yang thought about it and said, "Actually, even if Elder Ling had really attacked, it wouldn't have broken his promise because the Four Seasons Tower had attacked you first."
"Attacked me first?" Ling Xiaozui was stunned. "I … Why didn't I feel it?"
Yun Yang rolled his eyes and said, "They were attacking someone Elder Ling cares for. Isn't that a violation of the original promise?"
Ling Xiaozui was still puzzled, but he did not interrupt this time, waiting for Yun Yang to continue.
Yun Yang did not dally, telling him about the Four Seasons Tower's actions against Cirrus House and the forced marriage of Yun Zuiyue.
Of course, Yun Yang had tried his best to be objective when he was narrating, but he had still added in a lot of exaggeration.
"They knew that Cirrus House was under your protection, but the Four Seasons Tower still did it. Didn't they attack you first?" Seeing that Ling Xiaozui was still hesitant, Yun Yang continued, "Besides, I'm not asking you to kill this Supreme Lord Spring Frost. As long as you beat him up, it doesn't matter if he's severely injured or on his last breath. As long as he doesn't die in your hands, it'll be acceptable no matter what you say, right?"
Ling Xiaozui's eyes shone as he clapped his hands. "That's right, this is a great idea!"
Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, who were standing aside, were dumbfounded.
How could this work?
Both of them had the same feeling – how could this world's Unrivaled Expert be so easily fooled?
This …
Once the plan was decided, Ling Xiaozui and Yun Yang began toasting and drinking to relieve their boredom, truly satisfying their alcohol cravings.
The feast lasted until midnight. It was only when Ling Xiaozui was sent to the guest room to rest that Lao Mei asked cautiously.
"Young master, you wouldn't have met a fake one, would you? How could this fellow be so easily fooled?"
Yun Yang chuckled meaningfully. "Easy to fool? Why don't you go try? "
With a laugh, he returned to his room.
Ling Xiaozui was easily fooled?
How could this be possible?
The reason that experienced martial artists like Lao Mei and Fang Mofei would have such an illusion was mainly because Ling Xiaozui had already decided to help him from the beginning. First, the lost wager; second, the kindness of the three Kirin Fish willingly spitting out the essence of Divine Water.
He had only wanted him to think of a way to give him a reason to attack in a roundabout manner.
Of course, when it was confirmed that the target was the Four Seasons Tower's Supreme Lord Spring Frost, Ling Xiaozui no longer had any doubts about this vengeful target.
…
…
All his inventory had been released at once. He had been writing from afternoon to night. He had wanted to gather ten chapters, but he did not manage to write that many after all.
Still, it was good enough that he had nine chapters now. A long, long time, a hundred and thirty-four chapters, a lifetime. Haha!
Tomorrow's update on the second will be at noon and afternoon.
