The headquarters of Wind Sweeping Tower was located in the most prosperous region of Eastern Qi, but they had branches in West Chu and Northern Yan. They were located in the capital cities of Northern Yan and West Chu, and they were responsible for the affairs of these two countries.
The leader of the Northern Yan branch, 'Three-Eyed God' Qi Yuanli, was in his fifties. He had a square face and wore a brocade robe, but he had a lazy aura. His favorite activity was to hold the purple clay teapot that he had kept for more than thirty years, basking in the sun while reading the reports from the various Northern Yan regions. He was like an old man in his twilight years.
There was a thin red mark on Qi Yuanli's forehead that looked like a third eye. This was also the reason why he was nicknamed 'Three-Eyed God'. It meant that he could observe the movements of the martial world with his third eye.
But in fact, the mark on Qi Yuanli's forehead was left behind by a powerful finger force when he was fighting with someone in his early years. Although he managed to kill his opponent in that battle, his opponent's finger force had almost caused his head to explode and his skull to almost shatter.
The Jianghu divine doctor who saved Qi Yuanli later said that it was really inconceivable that Qi Yuanli was able to survive such an injury.
It was also because of that time that Qi Yuanli always said that he was a person who had died once. He could feel the feeling of death, so now his favorite thing was to bask in the sun. Only the warm temperature of the sun could make him feel that he was still alive and a living person.
Just as Qi Yuanli was squinting and leisurely basking in the sun, a cultivator in his thirties walked over and cupped his hands. "Tower Lord, the Linzhong County branch has sent a message that requires your personal approval."
Qi Yuanli took the report and casually waved his hand. "How many times have I told you? I'm just the deputy leader. The real leader isn't here. Don't talk nonsense."
The martial artist from Wind Sweeping Tower only smiled and did not reply.
There were no idiots in the Anemophilia business. They were all smart people. Was the deputy leader not the leader? If he really called him the deputy leader, it would probably be even more irritating to Qi Yuanli.
Qi Yuanli took the report and flipped through it. He softly said, "The Linzhong County branch is actually recommending a martial artist from the martial world to enter the Longhu Leaderboard? It's really interesting. "
The Wind Sweeping Tower's Dragon and Tiger Ranking was only prepared for a few of the young elites of the Pugilistic World. Because of the lack of resources, 70% of the martial artists on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking were from large sects and aristocratic families.
Only those martial artists who were born into a good family and had a solid foundation would be able to stand out in their youth and make a name for themselves. It was extremely difficult for martial artists who were born in the wilderness to stand out.
The person recommended by the Forested Commandery's Wind Sweeping Pavilion branch was none other than Chu Xiu.
Even with Qi Yuanli's experience, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Chu Xiu's series of astonishing achievements. It had been a long time since he had seen such a fierce young man.
Especially the battle where Chu Xiu used his identity as a member of the Blue Dragon Society to destroy the Yue Clan, it was even more stunning. He made use of the Yue Clan's weakness in their hearts and finally defeated them.
"The Northern Yan Pugilistic World actually produced such a stunning young man. It's not bad, but it's a pity. Who knows if he will still be able to stand at the top of the Pugilistic World after twenty years and enter the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."
Qi Yuanli's sigh wasn't because he looked down on Chu Xiu. It was because the Wind Sweeping Pavilion had calculated the number of young elites on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
Every generation of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking would last for twenty years, but in reality, it would only last for ten years. In these ten years, these young elites would either die prematurely, become influential figures who could stir up the Pugilistic World, or be pushed down by the newcomers. There was almost no one who could stay on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking for twenty years.
There were only a hundred people on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking in every generation, and among these hundred people, the death rate was as high as forty percent.
This was an extremely horrifying number. Every generation of young martial artists would die. However, the Longhu List was like a tall tree that attracted the wind. They were the ones who died the fastest.
Among those who died prematurely, those who were born in the large sects were still fine. After all, they had the protection of their backers.
The ones who had the highest death rate were people like Chu Xiu, who was born in the wilderness.
Of course, although Chu Xiu was born in the wilderness, he had now joined the Blue Dragon Society, so he could be considered to have the support of the Blue Dragon Society. Otherwise, Nie Dongliu would not have withdrawn his wanted order. Moreover, the information said that the daughter of the Divine Martial Sect's Sect Leader, Yan Tingting, was still clamoring about killing her way to the Blue Dragon Society's branch and killing Chu Xiu. In the end, she was confined by her father.
The warrior from the Wind Sweeping Pavilion beside him said, "Leader, according to this Chu Xiu's achievements, he is definitely qualified to be on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. The only thing we need to determine now is what his ranking should be."
Qi Yuanli asked back, "What do you think it should be?"
The warrior said directly, "Chu Xiu has already stepped into the Internal Aura Realm, and he even destroyed the Yue Clan by himself. With this kind of strength and achievements, it is enough for him to be in the top ten!"
Qi Yuanli shook his head and said, "It is enough for him to be in the top ten, but he should not be in the top ten."
The warrior was puzzled and asked, "Why? When Nie Dongliu first entered the ranking, he was in the top twenty. After the battle of the Eighteen Black Cloud Strongholds, he was in the top ten. Now, Chu Xiu's achievements may not be any less than Nie Dongliu's. Logically speaking, he should also be in the top ten. "
Qi Yuanli patted the cultivator's shoulder and said, "The Dragon Tiger Sovereign List. Our Wind Sweeping Pavilion naturally wants to be absolutely fair. Unfortunately, this is the way of the world. There are some things that cannot be taken too seriously.
When our Wind Sweeping Pavilion first established a branch in the Northern Yan, the Righteous Manor helped us a lot. This is a favor that we need to repay.
This Chu Xiu's influence was indeed big enough, but in terms of influence, it was only around the Eastern Yan region. It did not even affect the Northern Yan region, let alone the entire Jianghu.
Moreover, the influence that Nie Dongliu had caused shook the entire Jianghu. In fact, the overall strength of the Eighteen Black Cloud Strongholds was not as strong as the Yue Clan. The reason why he could obtain such a reputation was because he was the young master of the Righteous Manor.
Xiao Lin, you are one of the people I have high hopes for. In the field of Anemophilia, it is not easy. We know too many things, and there are even more taboos.
Hence, even if you know some things, you have to keep it to yourself and not say it for the rest of your life.
In this Jianghu, there is no such thing as fairness. What our Wind Sweeping Pavilion can do is to be as fair as possible.
This Chu Xiu's ranking cannot be in the top ten. He can only be in the top twenty. Let him be in the eighteenth place. "
Xiao Lin said hesitantly, "But the eighteenth place is Bai Wuji from the Northern Floating Snow City. Wouldn't that push Bai Wuji down by one place?"
Qi Yuanli said indifferently, "Those barbarians from Driftsnow City are too arrogant and despotic. Last month, the people from my Wind Sweeping Pavilion went to Driftsnow City's territory to search for information, but they were beaten back."
Xiao Lin's expression turned serious and he quickly nodded. At the same time, he thought to himself that even a small ranking list had to consider the other party's background and relationship with the Wind Sweeping Pavilion. As expected, the field of Anemophilia was not easy.
After getting Qi Yuanli's confirmation, Xiao Lin used a secret method to send a message to the headquarters of Eastern Qi's Wind Sweeping Pavilion and West Chu. When they replied, the three parties would change the ranking list together.
The Wind Sweeping Pavilion's Dragon and Tiger Storm Supreme Ranking was actually three huge stones erected in front of the headquarters and two branches of the Wind Sweeping Pavilion.
The Supreme Ranking was made from the Azure Glass Stone, which was found in a meteorite. It was something that could only be found by chance.
The Supreme Ranking was made from the best material for forging weapons, the Golden Light Stone. It was extremely bright and looked like gold, but it was more precious than gold.
As for the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, it was slightly worse. It was made from ordinary Azure Jade, but its quality was not bad.
After the news was confirmed, the three parties erased the words on the giant stones at the same time and replaced them with new names.
In front of the Wind Sweeping Pavilion, countless Anemophilia affiliated with the Wind Sweeping Pavilion and some wandering martial artists were watching as the disciples of the Wind Sweeping Pavilion changed the ranking list.
Compared to the Dragon and Tiger Ranking that rarely changed, the changes on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking were much bigger. There were even cases where the Dragon and Tiger Ranking was changed twice in a day.
This time, it did not attract too much attention. Most of the people were just there to watch the show. Some people even opened bets, betting on whose ranking would change this time, or if there would be a new person on the list.
After the changes were completed, everyone could not help but be surprised when they saw the results of the new person on the list.
It was his first time on the list and he was already in the top 20. This was quite impressive.
