The position of a first-rate force was much clearer than that of a second-rate force. It required at least five or more Divine Transformation Realm martial artists or one Harmonious God Realm martial artist to be considered a first-rate force. For example, the Longxi Li Family was a first-rate force, and it was one of the stronger ones.
Asking Su Xin to destroy five second-rate forces meant that he would have to fight with Divine Transformation Realm martial artists.
A martial arts sect with more than ten Divine Palace Innate Realm martial artists would not be easy to deal with unless Su Xin was willing to use his Villain Points to exchange for a four-star martial arts skill. Only then would he be able to fight against more than ten Divine Palace Innate Realm martial artists.
However, even if Su Xin exchanged for a consumable martial arts skill, a second-rate sect would have more than ten Divine Palace Innate Realm martial artists. His inner strength was not unlimited. After killing more than ten Divine Palace Innate Realm martial artists, he would not be able to defeat the other Innate Realm martial artists in the sect.
After some calculations, Su Xin felt that the probability of completing the task in a short period of time was not high. Fortunately, the time limit given for the task was long enough. Two years was enough for him to prepare.
The next morning, Su Xin went to Wang Shifeng's residence with Tie Yao Hua.
However, as soon as he left the inn, Su Xin felt many eyes on him.
There were strange people, disdainful people, and some with hatred. Su Xin did not know how he had offended them.
Although it was only one night, the exposure of Su Xin's true identity had shocked the entire Jiangnan Prefecture.
The identity of the imperial court's dog did not sound good. Many people were muttering to themselves. It was not easy to find a powerful individual among the rogue cultivators, but in the end, he turned to the Six Fan School for the sake of wealth and became the imperial court's dog.
No wonder he was so ruthless to those rogue cultivators. It turned out that he did not see them as the same kind of people.
However, these words were only in their minds. No one dared to say it out loud.
Last night, there were people who had heard that Su Xin had killed a martial artist who had spoken rudely to him without any scruples. In the end, even the Xiao Family Elder could only brush his sleeves and leave in anger. None of them dared to say such things in front of Su Xin.
As a disciple of the Wang Family from Xie County, Wang Shifeng could not stay in the inn. The Wang Family naturally had a house and residence in the Jiangnan Prefecture.
When Su Xin and Tie Yao Hua came to see him, the Wang Family disciple who was guarding the door was reluctant to let them in.
However, he was not an idiot. Although the low-level disciples did not know the relationship between the Wang family and the Six Fan School, they knew that most of the Wang family members were officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was not a wise move to become enemies with the Six Fan School.
After a while, Wang Shifeng walked into the hall and said with a smile, "Brother Su, I didn't expect to meet you again. What you said last time was very thought-provoking. I went back and thought about it for a long time. Today, let's sit down and debate and see who is right."
Not long after, Wang Shifeng walked into the hall with a smile, "Brother Su, I didn't think we would meet again. The words you said last time were very thought-provoking. I went back and thought about it for a long time. Today, let's sit down and discuss. Let's see who's right."
Su Xin slapped his forehead, feeling a slight headache coming on. He wasn't here to play a debate contest with Wang Shifeng.
Su Xin patted his head with a slight headache. He did not come here to play a debate with Wang Shifeng.
"Brother Wang, I still need your help today. Let's discuss later." Then, Su Xin pointed to Tie Yao Hua and said, "This is the disciple of the Tie family of the Six Doors, Miss Tie Yao Hua."
Hearing that Tie Yao Hua was from the Six Doors, Wang Shifeng immediately cupped his hands and said, "Miss Tie, please forgive me. May I know why you came to see me today?"
As a direct disciple of the Wang Family of Xie County, Wang Shifeng certainly knew what had happened between the Six Doors and the Tie family.
The disciple of the Tie family and Su Xin, the Windchaser Enforcer of the Six Doors, came to see him together. Something big must have happened.
Su Xin took out the fragment and handed it to Wang Shifeng. He said, "We want to borrow the intelligence of the Wang Family to find out what this fragment is made of."
Wang Shifeng picked up the fragment and carefully observed it. After a quarter of an hour, he said in a deep voice, "This thing should be a token or a corner of a waist token. It doesn't look like it's made of jade, but ivory or rhinoceros horn. It's much more expensive than jade, and there's a thick coating on it. It looks like it's been here for a long time."
After saying this, Wang Shifeng frowned and said, "I feel that the patterns on this token are really familiar, but I can't remember. How about this, I'll get someone to check it for you."
Wang Shifeng turned around and shouted, "Uncle Zhong, come in!"
An old servant in his fifties came in and said respectfully, "What can I do for you, Young Master?"
Wang Shifeng said, "Go and invite Ninth Uncle, who's guarding the Imperial Library, over. He's very knowledgeable. All the intelligence that our Wang Consortium has in Jiangnan is in his hands."
The old servant, Uncle Zhong, smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid I can't do that. Mr. Ninth went back to the family to deliver the information three days ago. He is not here."
Wang Shifeng muttered, "What kind of information needs Ninth Uncle to personally escort?"
He turned around and thought about it. He said to Tie Yao Hua and Su Xin, "It doesn't matter if Ninth Uncle is not here. I will take you to another good friend of mine. He is really knowledgeable. He definitely knows about this thing."
Tie Yao Hua asked curiously, "The disciple of the Wang Family of Xie County is very knowledgeable. Who can be more knowledgeable than you?"
Wang Shifeng smiled and said, "The tenth on the Ranking List of Young Masters, Zhuge Qingtian of the Zhuge Family of Langya."
Su Xin had naturally heard of the Zhuge Family of Langya, one of the six big aristocratic families. Su Xin felt that the Zhuge Family was much simpler than the Wang Family of Xie County. It was just a smart family that went with the flow.
The rise of the Zhuge Family of Langya did not rely on martial arts, but on their wisdom and talent. Therefore, every generation of the Central Plains Dynasty would put people from the Zhuge Family in important positions after the founding of the country.
Moreover, the Zhuge Family had made it very clear that their family was a mercenary family. If your dynasty was stable, then they would rely on you and do their best to work for you.
On the contrary, if your dynasty was on the verge of collapse, then sorry, the people of the Zhuge Family would not be blindly loyal to you. At most, they would not hit you when you are down.
Not only did the Zhuge Family's semi-public attitude not infuriate the Central Plains Dynasties, but it made them feel more at ease with the Zhuge Family. At least, their reason was very simple, much simpler than the Wang Family of Xie County.
Wang Shifeng brought Su Xin and the others to find Zhuge Qingtian. The tenth ranker on the Human List really knew how to enjoy life. He stayed on a huge and luxuriously decorated flower boat.
Apart from the boatman, the entire flower boat was filled with beautiful maids. The smell of flowers wafted over.
Wang Shifeng and Zhuge Qingtian had known each other for a long time. The moment he arrived, Zhuge Qingtian's maid, Jin'er, immediately welcomed them onto the flower boat.
Zhuge Qingtian was wearing white clothes and drinking tea at the bow of the boat. He was handsome and had extraordinary looks. Even Su Xin had to admit that his appearance was really good and full of pretentiousness.
"One doesn't visit for no reason. Brother Wang, what brings you here today?" Zhuge Qingtian's lips curled into a smile.
Wang Shifeng didn't answer him. He pointed at Su Xin and Tie Yao Hua first and introduced them to Zhuge Qingtian. "This is the twenty-second ranker on the Human List, 'Blood Sword Divine Finger' Su Xin, Brother Su. This lady is Tie Yao Hua from Six Doors' Tie Clan."
"Greetings to the two of you. Please come over and take a seat." Zhuge Qingtian waved his hand and made an inviting gesture.
There was a small stove in front of him, and tea was being brewed inside.
After Su Xin and the others sat down, Zhuge Qingtian then said, "Brother Su, you might not know this, but actually, this isn't the first time we've met. Actually, when you were fighting with Li Chenfeng, I already saw it. It was just that you didn't see me.
Li Chenfeng is a person promoted by the Zhou Kingdom. His strength is indeed very weak, and he doesn't deserve to be ranked twenty-third on the Human List. However, I feel that Brother Su, your ranking isn't right either. "
Wang Shifeng, who was at the side, was instantly taken aback. He and Zhuge Qingtian could be considered to be close friends. Although this fellow had a lot of small problems and usually liked to hide half of what he said and liked to beat around the bush, he would never be stupid enough to offend others. Why did he suddenly say something like this?
Su Xin asked with a smile, "What's wrong with my ranking?"
Zhuge Qingtian said solemnly, "Six Doors definitely underestimated your ranking."
Wang Shifeng instantly heaved a sigh of relief. This fellow was actually flattering Su Xin. However, why was he flattering Su Xin? Even if the number one on the Human List, 'Dao Addict' Lin Changhe, was here, Zhuge Qingtian probably wouldn't be in a hurry to flatter him.
"Oh? Then, where do you think my ranking should be? "
The tea on the stove was already boiling, and a dense fragrance of tea wafted out. Zhuge Qingtian poured a cup of tea and passed it to Su Xin. Just when Su Xin wanted to take it, he felt a huge force coming from Zhuge Qingtian's hands, and he almost couldn't hold the teacup.
Su Xin raised his eyebrows and performed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique with all his might. The force on his hands instantly became extremely terrifying, and it was like a mountain pressing down on Zhuge Qingtian directly.
Zhuge Qingtian had a strange expression on his face. His jade-white hands were shaking continuously, but he couldn't do anything to Su Xin. What shocked him the most was Su Xin's control over his strength.
After such a battle of strength, the teacup wasn't damaged at all, and not a single drop of tea splashed out.
Zhuge Qingtian smiled and retracted the power in his hands. He said, "With Brother Su's strength, not to mention the 22nd place, even the 12th place would be more or less the same."
Su Xin took the tea and took a sip. He said, "Brother Zhuge, you are overpraising me. Moreover, the Human List is determined by Six Doors. I wouldn't dare to doubt my immediate superior."
Su Xin's words were interesting, and Zhuge Qingtian instantly laughed. However, even if he laughed, he would never reveal such an exaggerated laugh. He had always had a calm smile.
Wang Shifeng interrupted, "Brother Zhuge, we are here to ask for your help. Take a look at this item and see where it comes from."
As he spoke, Wang Shifeng took the shard from Tie Yao Hua and passed it to Zhuge Qingtian.
