Deep into the night.
The cold wind blew past, causing Chung Shen-soo to shiver.
He looked around blankly, only to realize that he had been too engrossed in his thoughts. Unknowingly, it was already night time.
"Forget it … this giant stone array only proves that … he was here, that's all.
"For the current me, it would be suicidal to study this rashly.
"But from the looks of it, Shang Jun was enlightened by Lord Ox, defeated all the countries, and created the source of martial arts. It might not be fake …
"If that's the case, then there's an explanation for the evilness of martial arts in this world …"
Under the moonlight, Chung Shen-soo took one last look at the Lord Ox Temple, then his figure flashed and disappeared.
…
In the next few days, he wandered around the ancient capital of Shang Dynasty. He even sneaked into the ruins of the original palace of Shang Dynasty a few times.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything else.
On this day, Chung Shen-soo was drinking tea in a teahouse.
This place was close to the government, and Jianghu warriors loved to gather here. There was no other reason than to see the Heaven, Earth, and Man Roll that was updated every month on the wall in front of the government.
It was noon.
A few constables from the Constable Sect solemnly took down the old roll and pasted the new one.
As usual, the Heaven and Earth Roll did not change.
As for the Man Roll, there was not much change.
Zhong Shenxiu expressed her understanding of this. Although the martial artists on the Ranking List of Mortal were all at the Blood Transformation Realm and were replaced very quickly, the key was … you had to find someone to challenge first! It would be best if there were a few reputable notaries.
For example, he was at the bottom of the Man Roll and did not have any backing. Five Elements Palm Xun Liu Yi would definitely be the target of the new Jianghu warriors.
Unfortunately, he was no longer in Small Mountain City. If he could not find anyone, it would be useless.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the martial artists in front of him.
Chung Shen-soo listened attentively. He vaguely heard the words Earth Roll, Grandmaster, Five Poison Sect, and his expression froze.
He naturally had a deep impression of Gu Qingying and Black Widow Hua Miao.
However, from the looks of it, it wouldn't take long for the news to spread. All he had to do was wait patiently.
Sure enough, after a short while, the storyteller slammed his gavel and announced an earth-shattering piece of news. "On the fifteenth of next month, the Grandmaster ranked 70th on the Terrestrial Rankings, Black Widow Hua Miao, will challenge Golden Zombie Ximen Cuo to a duel by the Moonset Lake! And Grandmaster Ximen has already agreed! "
When this news came out, the entire building was silent.
Immediately, some impatient warriors jumped out of the window and mounted their horses, ready to rush to the place where the two Grandmasters were competing.
Ximen Cuo was ranked 46th on the Earth Roll. A battle between two Grandmasters of the Earth Roll was extremely rare.
In the martial arts world, there was no one who did not feel honored to be able to attend such a grand event.
Chung Shen-soo wasn't in a hurry. He heard the storyteller say, "This Grandmaster Ximen Cuo's nickname is Golden Zombie. Does anyone know where this nickname came from? We have to start from the martial arts he cultivates … The martial arts that this Grandmaster Ximen Cuo cultivates is called 'Zombie Fist'. It's a widely spread fist technique in the martial arts world, but it's easy to learn but hard to master. There are five major realms, namely Zombie, Flying Zombie, Iron Zombie, Silver Zombie, and Golden Zombie! "
"If it's an ordinary Zombie Fist, then even the escorts in the martial arts world can use it. It's not very powerful, but if he cultivates the Flying Zombie Fist, he can be ranked among the top experts in the martial arts world."
"As for the Iron Zombie Fist, it requires a real secret. It's said that a large number of precious elixirs are needed to refine the body. After blood transfusion, the body is comparable to an Iron Zombie. It's invulnerable and can compete with experts on the Ranking List of Young Masters …"
"After that, the Silver Zombie Fist is the fist of a Grandmaster!"
"As for Golden Zombie Ximen Cuo, he has mastered the highest realm of this fist technique — Golden Zombie King Fist! Once this fist is mastered, the body is like a Golden Zombie, indestructible. Even among the Grandmasters, it's one of the best … In the past, Ximen Cuo once … "
The storyteller's saliva was flying everywhere, and he even included a lot of useful information. It made Chung Shen Soo suspect that behind the teahouse, there was an eighty percent chance that the Condor Sect was a shareholder. The information in the storyteller's hands might be the internal reference of the Condor Sect, so it was very accurate.
"It's normal for the imperial court to control public opinion …"
He was used to it and didn't think much of it. However, he wondered why Hua Miao gave up chasing Gu Qingying and went to challenge a Grandmaster.
"Could it be that Gu Qingying is done for? It's possible that he's being chased by the Five Poison Sect … "
"In any case, there's finally a trace of the Black Widow this time. It's good to go and take a look … It's rare to see two Grandmasters fight …"
Chung Shen Soo returned to the inn, packed his things, paid for the room, and filled a gourd full of wine. He hung it on the old horse and prepared to leave the city.
After leaving the city gate, he didn't walk far before he saw two main roads.
One of them went straight out of Shang County, and it would only take him half a month to reach the Moon Setting Lake.
The other road led to the Black Raven Mountain.
"Speaking of which, the Iron Arhat Jing Fan and the Sword Duo Duan Mingyu have been gone for a few days, and there seems to be no news from them. Could it be that they've met with some mishap?"
Chung Shen Soo looked at the road and thought for a while, "No … Both of them are ranked higher than me on the Ranking List of Young Masters. If they've met with danger that they can't resist, it's useless for me to go there. At most, I'll help them collect their corpses … Hmm, that's the extent of our friendship after a few meals."
"Since there's a village at the foot of the Black Raven Mountain, it means that it's not too dangerous as long as I don't go too deep into the mountain … Since I still have time, I might as well go and take a look. Maybe I'll really have to collect the corpses of my two friends …"
With that thought, he turned his horse around and headed toward the Black Raven Mountain.
…
Black Raven Mountain.
In a dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
A young girl carrying a medicine basket on her back was running at lightning speed. Behind her, between the tall trees, there seemed to be several black shadows running and leaping.
Suddenly, a mournful howl of an ape could be heard, causing the young girl's face to turn pale.
"Dharma! Dharma! "
Suddenly, a huge monkey leaped down from between the trees.
It was almost as tall as a person, with two extremely thick arms and a body covered with black hair. A pair of scarlet eyes stared at the young girl's head.
The young girl was so scared that she fell to the ground, unable to move.
Just when she was about to burst into tears and think that her head was going to be smashed and her brain juice eaten, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
She heard a few gusts of wind, and the devil ape that was about to kill her had disappeared without a trace.
"Is this a special kind of ape? It's really powerful … Although I didn't use the Kidney Water Chapter to its fullest, it was still able to escape after being hit by my palm … "
Chung Shen Soo sighed with emotion as he slowly moved his palm.
"Ah Xia, thank you for saving me, Hero." The young girl on the ground said in a timid voice.
"It's nothing …"
Chung Shen Soo raised his wine gourd and asked, "Where are you from?"
"A village nearby …" The young girl obviously didn't know the name of the village. In ancient times, it was normal for a person to stay in a village for his whole life.
Chung Shen Soo slapped his forehead and asked again, "Did a monk and a young man carrying a zither come to your village recently?"
"Not in our village …" Ah Xia thought for a while and said with certainty, "But the village next to us said that there were two people like that a few days ago, and they even found Xiang Yinsheng Mountain. After that, there was no news about them …"
'Looks like … something really happened?'
Chung Shen Soo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
