Qingzhou Ancient City.
After the list of the top four was announced, the entire Qingzhou Ancient City was in an uproar.
It was because all the cultivators had been waiting for that scene.
Originally, the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was just a competition of one state which was basically only paid attention to by the cultivators of Qingzhou.
However, with the participation of Sikong Jiantian, the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet attracted the attention of the entire Jin Nation.
However, the most depressing thing was that the most controversial three participating cultivators did not fight at all.
Ye Ping only fought once in the first battle, and after that, there were always people who gave up.
Sikong Jiantian and Su Changyu did not even fight once, which made the cultivators who came to watch the sword test feel a little depressed.
Everyone wanted to watch a battle between experts, not a vacation. Hence, there was a lot of controversy.
Now, the judges of the Sword Dao Meet had finally done something.
They let Ye Ping fight Wang Minghao.
They also let Su Changyu fight Sikong Jiantian.
Their strength was evenly distributed, which was just enough to satisfy the thoughts of all the cultivators in Qingzhou Ancient City.
After all, if Su Changyu and Wang Minghao were to fight, it would be meaningless.
Although Wang Minghao had won eight consecutive rounds and was indeed competent, in the hearts of everyone, Su Changyu's strength was unfathomable, and Sikong Jiantian was the only one who could fight him in the entire Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
The battle between Ye Ping and Wang Minghao was also in line with that because both of them had shown extraordinary strength.
Hence, as soon as the list was announced, the entire Jin Nation paid close attention to the battle.
Ye Ping and Wang Minghao fought first, followed by Su Changyu and Sikong Jiantian.
Those two battles also gave the underground gambling houses of Jin Nation a severe challenge.
In the battle between Ye Ping and Wang Minghao, the odds for Ye Ping to win were 1: 1.3 while Wang Minghao's were 1: 2.
In the battle between Sikong Jiantian and Su Changyu, the odds for Sikong Jiantian to win were 1: 1.1 while Su Changyu's were 1: 3.
The amount of bets placed by the parties was enough to make the major chambers of commerce break out in cold sweat.
The first round was still alright. After all, Ye Ping and Wang Minghao were on par with each other in strength, but Ye Ping was more popular.
However, the second round was completely one-sided. Although many people felt that Su Changyu was very strong, Ye Ping was ahead of him after all.
However, the problem was that Sikong Jiantian's prestige was too high. The number of Spirit Stones that Sikong Jiantian had bet on winning in Qingzhou Ancient City alone had already exceeded 10 million.
Indeed, the Qingzhou Ancient City alone had already cost more than 10 million Spirit Stones to bet on Sikong Jiantian.
There were less than 300,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones bet on Su Changyu.
However, even if the odds for Sikong Jiantian continued to decrease, the amount of bets also continued to rise.
Therefore, for the Chamber of Commerce behind the gambling house, this was a huge challenge.
However, the gambling den dared to open the bet not because Su Changyu could win, but because Sikong Jiantian would have a vacancy.
That's right, it was empty.
They bet that Sikong Jiantian would not accept the challenge because the two were not the same. Some guessed that Sikong Jiantian definitely did not come to Qingzhou Ancient City for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
They were just using the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet as a pretense to do other things. That was also the reason why the underground gambling dens dared to open bets. Otherwise, who would dare to open bets for free?
At this moment, in the garden behind the Full River House.
Su Changyu was sitting quietly under a willow tree.
His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was comprehending the Dao, making everyone curious.
Not far away, Ye Ping was also comprehending the Sword Dao.
He was practicing his sword techniques for the battle tomorrow.
At this moment, Li Yu's figure appeared. He hurriedly came to Ye Ping's side.
"Teacher, Teacher."
Li Yu's voice was not very loud, and he called out softly.
At this moment, Ye Ping opened his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Ping's eyes were full of curiosity as he wondered what Li Yu wanted.
"Forgive me for disturbing you, Teacher, but I have something that I don't know if I should say."
Li Yu said, looking a little embarrassed.
"Go ahead."
Ye Ping looked very calm.
"Teacher, I want to ask, Uncle-Master … how strong is he?"
Li Yu's eyes were full of curiosity as he couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you asking this?"
Ye Ping was even more curious.
Li Yu immediately smiled awkwardly and answered truthfully.
"Teacher, there are now a few chambers of commerce that have joined forces to be the banker, and the odds for Uncle-Master to win the competition tomorrow are as high as 5: 1. I'm not greedy, but I have a lot of daily expenses and my family doesn't give me much money. Hence, I want to ask if I can earn some daily expenses."
"Of course, if I ask about something that I shouldn't have, just pretend that I've never been here."
Li Yu said.
As the Crown Prince of Jin Nation, Li Yu more or less knew how to plan for the people's livelihood, agriculture, and commerce. Now that the major chambers of commerce of Jin Nation had joined forces to be the banker, even Li Yu, the Crown Prince of Jin Nation, was tempted.
After all, he was still the Crown Prince and not the emperor of Jin Nation. His daily expenses, including buying people's hearts, required money.
Hence, Li Yu wanted a share of the pie too.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Ye Ping immediately understood. Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping thought about it and then lowered his voice, looking extremely mysterious.
"I can tell you everything, but there's one thing you have to remember."
Ye Ping lowered his voice, looking extremely mysterious.
"Teacher, please tell me, I will definitely bear it in mind."
"Remember, I'll tell you about Eldest Senior Brother's strength, but you mustn't spread it."
Ye Ping said seriously.
Hearing this, Li Yu immediately nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I, Li Yu, am famous for being tight-lipped. My mouth is very tight, and I definitely won't spread it."
Li Yu said seriously.
"Okay then." Ye Ping nodded and then said with a serious expression, "Eldest Senior Brother is a peerless Sword Immortal."
After hearing his words, Li Yu was stunned.
'Peerless Sword Immortal? '
He couldn't help but glance at Su Changyu.
'He does look a little like him. '
"Do you know what a powerful person once said about my Eldest Senior Brother?"
Looking at Li Yu's expression, Ye Ping continued to add information.
"What evaluation?"
Li Yu swallowed his saliva, full of curiosity.
"There are three million Sword Immortals in the sky, but they have to bow down to me."
Ye Ping said word by word seriously.
Ss!
Ss!
Ss!
In an instant, Li Yu was dumbfounded.
There are three million sword immortals in the sky, but they have to bow down to me.
Aren't these words a little too domineering?
Li Yu's pupils constricted. He was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.
Ye Ping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was very satisfied with Li Yu's expression.
Although the mighty figure was him, Ye Ping didn\'t mind it in order to show that Su Changyu was a peerless expert. Anyway, in his heart, Su Changyu was indeed a peerless Sword Immortal, so it didn\'t matter much.
"Teacher, I understand. I'll go and bet on Eldest Martial Uncle's victory right now. If I really make a profit, I'll definitely give a portion of it to Teacher and Eldest Martial Uncle."
Li Yu was very excited.
He knew that Sikong Jiantian was very strong, but he also felt that Su Changyu wasn't bad. However, he didn't expect Su Changyu to be that strong.
A peerless Sword Immortal?
This time, he was going to take off.
Fly, fly, fly, fly!
"Go ahead, but don't bet too much. If you win too much, the banker won't acknowledge it."
Ye Ping nodded and told Li Yu to handle it himself.
Li Yu nodded in agreement. However, he was not afraid that the Zhuang Family would go back on their word. After all, who would dare to go back on their word with the Crown Prince? Unless he didn't want to stay in Jin Nation anymore.
After Li Yu left.
Ye Ping couldn\'t help but look at Su Changyu who was not far away.
The latter was frowning, seemingly thinking about something.
\ 'Perhaps this is what an expert is like. He\'s always thinking about the Great Dao.\'
Ye Ping retracted his attention and then continued to comprehend the Sword Dao.
Not far away, Su Changyu kept muttering in his heart.
"The battle robe for the top four had better not be green and white. Otherwise, it won\'t be good if it clashes with my white crane robe."
"I\'ll talk to Miss Shuang\ 'er later."
Su Changyu thought to himself.
Just like that, six hours passed.
A piece of news suddenly spread in Qingzhou Ancient City.
"Hey, have you guys heard? That Su Changyu is a peerless Sword Immortal. "
"What? Su Changyu is a peerless Sword Immortal? "
"Don\'t you guys know yet? According to reliable sources, Su Changyu was a famous Sword Immortal in the Ten Nations 500 years ago. However, he ended up hiding his identity because of love. "
"Are you serious? Although this Senior Su does look like a Sword Immortal, why haven\'t I heard of him before? "
"Is that for real? Those are the words of a big shot. Besides, can you guys use your brains? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Sikong Jiantian will definitely win the battle between him and Su Changyu this time, but why do the major trade unions dare to join forces to place bets? What gave them the confidence to place bets? "
"Hey, now that you mention it, it seems to be true. These trade unions are all smarter than anyone else. I was wondering why they were so stupid, I didn\'t expect them to be so insidious."
"Damn it, I just bet 300 Spirit Stones on Sword Immortal Sikong and you\'re only telling me that Su Changyu is a Sword Immortal now? No, I have to go to the pawnshop and quickly pawn my ancestral flying sword. Otherwise, I\'ll suffer a huge loss. "
"Oh my god, something big happened. Sikong Jiantian and Su Changyu just fought outside the ancient city and Sikong Jiantian lost without even drawing his sword. Sikong Jiantian was shocked and asked who Su Changyu was. Do you know how Senior Su answered?"
"What did he say?"
"There are three million Sword Immortals in the sky, but they have to bow down to me."
"Ah!"
"Stop talking, hurry up and bet on Senior Su to win."
"Hurry up, Senior Su\'s odds have been reduced to 1: 2. If we delay any longer, we won\'t even get any leftovers."
In Qingyun Ancient City, no one knew what had happened. Rumors spread everywhere, causing a commotion.
Six hours passed.
Outside the Qingzhou Ancient City.
In a barren mountain range.
Hundreds of men in black gathered there.
The gazes of the men in black were full of indifference.
In front of them stood a Confucian scholar with a folding fan.
"Everyone, now that everyone in Jin Nation has discovered our traces, they\'ve also figured out the plan of our sect, so the mission has been postponed."
"However, the sect has already issued an order to assassinate the geniuses according to the plan after the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet."
"There\'s a list of names and portraits here. Take a good look at them. When the time comes, we\'d rather kill 3,000 people than let a single one of them go."
"Got it?"
The Confucian scholar said in an extremely cold voice.
"We understand, we\'ll obey your orders."
Hundreds of people spoke up.
However, someone soon couldn\'t help but speak up.
"We can deal with ordinary geniuses, but the problem is, how should we deal with Sikong Jiantian?"
Hundreds of people were curious when they heard the question.
They were not afraid of ordinary geniuses, but Sikong Jiantian was not an ordinary person. Hence, they were naturally wary of him.
"You don\'t have to worry, this time, the sect knows that Sikong Jiantian has also come to Qingzhou Ancient City. The sect has already sent an elder to kill Sikong Jiantian, but you have to be aware that the strongest person is not Sikong Jiantian."
The Confucian scholar said. At this point, the hundreds of men in black were instantly stunned.
In their eyes, Sikong Jiantian was already considered a top expert, but the Confucian scholar in front of them actually said that Sikong Jiantian was not a top expert.
"Lord, if it\'s not Sikong Jiantian, who is it?"
Someone bit the bullet and asked.
"Su Changyu."
The Confucian scholar said coldly and then took out a portrait.
Hiss.
At this moment, everyone couldn\'t help but be surprised, but they were more or less confused.
However, the Confucian scholar saw through their doubts at a glance.
The Confucian scholar did not answer directly and instead spoke slowly.
"Do you guys think that the Jin Nation has already discovered our traces and knows our plans? Hence, the Jin Nation invited Sikong Jiantian to come to Qingzhou Ancient City and pretend to participate in the competition, but in fact, they want to wait for us to appear?"
The crowd nodded one after another because that was indeed what they were thinking.
The Confucian scholar shook his head, seeming to be very wise.
"In the beginning, I thought so too, but I soon discovered some clues."
"Although Sikong Jiantian\'s strength is indeed not bad, there\'s obviously something wrong with him taking the initiative to appear and expose his identity. Unless he\'s confident that he\'s not afraid of us, but it\'s obvious that he can\'t be."
"I\'ve been thinking about why Sikong Jiantian came to Qingzhou Ancient City so brazenly, and I finally understood it just now."
"In fact, in order to conceal Su Changyu\'s identity, the Jin Nation invited a big shot who came to Qingzhou Ancient City quietly. However, no matter how low-key he is, he can\'t hide his aura."
"Hence, in order to conceal his identity, he invited Sikong Jiantian and made him the bait so that we would focus all our attention on him. In this way, we ignored Su Changyu and focused on targeting Sikong Jiantian."
"As soon as we attack, this person will start a massacre, but despite their meticulous planning and meticulous arrangements, they still gave themselves away in the end."
"In the ancient city, I accidentally discovered that the crown prince of Jin Nation, Li Yu, was actually following a young man and respected him as his master. Besides, the crown prince of Jin Nation, Li Yu, was also completely unscrupulous. He even said that Su Changyu was a peerless Sword Immortal."
"All of a sudden, I figured out everything, and all the arrangements of the Jin Nation were revealed to me. Think about it, he could have entered Qingzhou Ancient City quietly, so why is Sikong Jiantian being so high-profile?"
"It\'s because they want to conceal the identity of another person. They\'re very smart, but unfortunately, they met me."
The Confucian scholar\'s words were impassioned and resolute, making the hundreds of men in black suddenly come to a realization.
"You\'re really resourceful and resourceful."
"You\'re indeed a wise man."
Everyone praised him from the bottom of their hearts, but the Confucian scholar waved his hand calmly and said with a serious expression.
"Remember, after the Sword Dao Meet is over, execute the plan. If you encounter him, don\'t be reckless. Run if you can. I have already sent a letter to the sect, and the sect has also urgently sent three elders of the 72 Earthly Fiends here to kill this person."
"So, this mission is extremely dangerous. You must be prepared to die. After you die, you can enter the Great Divination Realm and enjoy endless bliss. So, don\'t hesitate, understand?"
The Confucian scholar said with a cold expression.
"Yes! It\'s our honor to die for the sect. "
The hundreds of men in black said with determination and fervor in their eyes.
