The Blind Swordmaster remained silent. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"You said that Zhuge Yuan-hong severed Danchen's right arm with one strike and severely injured the Golden Dan Innate Expert of Snow Hawk Hall?" The Blind Swordmaster did not mention Teng Qingshan. Instead, he mentioned Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"Yes." Gu Yong nodded.
The Blind Swordmaster humphed and said, "Zhuge Yuan-hong is younger than you. Since you were young, Zhuge Yuan-hong has been suppressing you. You are the Lord of the Island and the Sovereign. However, you are the Island Lord of Qing Hu Island! You are the seventh on the 《Heavenly Ranking》, but Zhuge Yuan-hong is the sixth on the 《Heavenly Ranking》. Many years have passed ….. and the power of Zhuge Yuan-hong's sword has reached such a level. It is obvious that his strength has improved greatly. According to my estimation, he is not far from achieving the Harmonization of the Spirit with the Heavens and Earth and the Endless True Origin. Once he achieves the Harmonization of the Spirit with the Heavens and Earth and the Endless True Origin. This Zhuge Yuan-hong is an Emptiness Realm Expert! Gu Yong, not only has the gap between you and him not shrunk, it has actually grown. "
Gu Yong lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.
"One strike is so powerful. Zhuge Yuan-hong should be able to rank second or third on the 《Heavenly Ranking》. "The Blind Swordmaster sighed and said," Also, did you notice Wu Hou's uniqueness this time? According to my estimation, he should have broken through the last step and reached the Emptiness Realm. "
In the eyes of the Blind Swordmaster … …
The Emptiness Realm was the power that could decide the world! The innate experts were the backup army of the Emptiness Realm. The more innate experts there were in a sect, the higher the possibility of an Emptiness Realm Expert.
"Wu Hou's strength is terrifying. However, he has not reached the level where he can borrow the Power of the Heavens and Earth, "Gu Yong said.
"This Wu Hou … …"
The Blind Swordmaster shook his head and said, "I have never seen him. However, according to the information I heard, he should have reached the last step thirty years ago. With his talent … … he should have reached the Emptiness Realm by now. " Although the Blind Swordmaster was blind, he seemed to be able to see Gu Yong's expression. "Yong 'er, do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, I want to abdicate! Let Junior Brother or Eldest Senior Brother succeed the position of Island Lord. "
"It's good to abdicate."
The Blind Swordmaster nodded and said, "Let's do it within these few days. Pick a good date. Abdicate and let … your Junior Martial Brother Tie Pan succeed as the Island Master. With his temperament, it would be beneficial for his cultivation if he were to succeed as the Island Master. "
"Yes." Gu Yong then said nervously, "Grandmaster, that Teng Qingshan …"
"Of course we have to deal with Teng Qingshan. However, this is a small matter. "The Blind Swordmaster said indifferently," This time, we lost twelve Law Enforcing Elders, and Dan Chen lost an arm. Qing Hu Island has suffered too great a loss … … Yong Er, after you abdicate, He would be a boatman of Green Lake. He works as a boatman during the day and comes to my Sword Edge Mountain to cultivate at night. "
"Boatman …" Gu Yong was taken aback.
"Humph." The Blind Swordmaster snorted, and the entire heavens and earth rumbled. "Yong 'er, you didn't become the Island Lord back then. Although it was also valiant and domineering. But not now … You've already been blinded by power. The position of the Island Lord is just an empty title! A true expert is able to reach the Emptiness Realm and use the Power of the Heavens and Earth. "
Gu Yong recalled his experiences over the years and couldn't help but shudder.
All these years, he had been thinking about how to make Qing Hu Island stronger and how to destroy Tie Yi Hall and the Gui Yuan Sect. His state of mind had completely changed … As for the Gui Yuan Sect's Zhuge Yuan-hong, he rarely showed his face. Originally, the two of them had similar strength. But now … the gap between them was huge.
Gu Yong couldn't help but feel scared.
If this continued for a few more decades, Zhuge Yuan-hong would probably be able to kill him with one move.
"Yes. After abdicating, Yong 'er is willing to be a boatman." Gu Yong said respectfully. He had already prepared … to make a human skin mask and wear it. Then, he would become a boatman.
"Yes." The Blind Swordmaster said indifferently, "Being a boatman will change you from a high and mighty Island Lord to a lowly person … Maybe you will experience a lot. I know that with your personality, you will definitely disguise yourself. When the day comes when you can remove your disguise and become a boatman with your real face, you might have a chance to catch up to Zhuge Yuan-hong. You might even reach the Emptiness Realm one day! "
"Yes." Gu Yong answered.
Letting Gu Yong use his real face to become a boatman? This was worse than killing him.
"Go. I will let your Junior Martial Brother Tie Fan handle the matter of Teng Qingshan." The Blind Swordmaster said indifferently.
Immediately, Gu Yong left.
… …
On the 12th of November, the Island Lord of Qing Hu Island, Gu Yong, abdicated. The fifty-one-year-old Golden Dan Innate Expert, Tie Fan, became the new Island Lord of Qing Hu Island. From this afternoon onwards, Gu Yong concealed his identity and put on a human skin mask. He became the most common boatman on Qing Hu Island!

Jiangning County City, Gui Yuan Sect:
Inside Zhuge Yuan-hong's study room:
Dressed in a white cloak, Zhuge Yuan-hong was barefooted. He held a paintbrush in his hand and was drawing on a piece of paper hanging on the drawing board. His expression was very calm, and he looked at the painting in front of him silently. Occasionally, he would dip the paintbrush in the ink. His entire mind and spirit seemed to be completely immersed in the painting. This was a painting of a lone traveler in the snow.
In the boundless snow, messy footprints and corpses could be seen. In the distance, a lone traveler was moving forward.
A murderous aura emanated from the painting.
Suddenly, he stopped drawing!
Zhuge Yuan-hong threw the paintbrush to the side and actually smiled. However, his smile was very sad.
"Father!" A shout rang.
Zhuge Yuan-hong turned his head and saw that the person who came was his son, Zhuge Yun.
"Father, Senior Martial Brother Qingshan is not dead. He is not dead!!!" Zhuge Yun hastily said.
Hearing this, Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes brightened.
These days, Zhuge Yuan-hong had been in a bad mood. His daughter died, and Teng Qingshan's life and death were unknown. Both of these made him feel very uncomfortable. However, as a sovereign … … he couldn't make it too obvious. He could only swallow all of this in his stomach.
"How did you know?" Zhuge Yuan-hong hastily asked.
"Here." Zhuge Yun handed over the rolled up secret letter. "I met Second Martial Uncle just now. Second Martial Uncle told me about this and asked me to give this secret letter to father. Actually, it's not really a secret … … This is the reward document released by Qing Hu Island. With this reward document, it at least means that Senior Martial Brother Qingshan is not dead. "
When Zhuge Yuan-hong saw this, he let out a sigh of relief and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Not dead? Good, good." Zhuge Yuan-hong sighed and said, "Qing Hu Island is really willing to pay. Once this reward document spreads, I'm afraid that most people in the world will want to kill Qingshan. However … … with Qingshan's disguise technique. It will be very difficult for Qing Hu Island to catch him. "
"Qingshan is not dead. This really makes people happy." Zhuge Yuan-hong praised.
"Yes, my sister will be happy if she knows in the underworld." Zhuge Yun sighed.
Hearing this, Zhuge Yuan-hong regained his calmness and immediately said, "Let's go. Accompany me to see Qingshan's parents. These days, his parents have been worried about Qingshan … … "
"Yes, Auntie was so worried that she fell sick." Zhuge Yun nodded and said, "Now that we are sure that Qingshan is not dead, Auntie's body will be better."
Immediately, Zhuge Yuan-hong brought his son and went to see Teng Yongfan and his wife. Because of the two cauldrons of the Elixir of the North Sea, Zhuge Yuan-hong felt even more grateful and guilty towards Teng Qingshan. Now that Teng Qingshan was not here … … Naturally, Zhuge Yuan-hong wanted to make it up to Teng Qingshan's parents.
Moreover … …
Zhuge Yun and Qingyu were probably getting married soon. In the future, they would be in-laws. It was natural that Zhuge Yuan-hong cared about Teng Qingshan's parents.
… …
Xuyang County, Wu City.
The caravan didn't travel fast, but Teng Qingshan wasn't in a hurry. Because he knew … … that if he traveled a thousand Li in a day, he would definitely attract a lot of attention. If Qing Hu Island's stations received the news and wanted to find him. If Qing Hu Island's stations in various places received the news and wanted to find him. That would be too dangerous!
But now, although the speed was slow, it was safer.
The caravan had also entered Wu City.
"It was a bumpy journey. My back hurts."
"It's been a bumpy ride. My back hurts." Old Zhang smacked his lips and said, "We've finally entered Wu City. Qin Wei, we have to have a good rest in the city."
"No problem, but don't drink too much." Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "The last time you drank with me, when we were in a hurry, you couldn't even ride a horse. You could only lie in the truck alone, and you were drunk. The few of us have spent a lot of effort to take care of a drunkard like you. "
"You had fun drinking that day." Old Zhang smiled mischievously, "Also, Qin Wei, your alcohol tolerance is too good. You and I drink cup after cup, and you don't drink any less than me. You don't seem to feel anything when I, Old Zhang, am drunk. "
"Old Zhang, your alcohol tolerance is just so-so. Compared to Qin Wei, you're still lacking," a bald, yellow-faced man said with a smile.
"Baldy Jia, could it be that your alcohol tolerance is better than mine?" Old Zhang glared and said.
"I'm not going to mess around with a madman like you." The bald yellow-faced man laughed.
These days, Teng Qingshan felt pretty good when he was with these merchants. These merchants traveled in the wind and rain, and they often faced the threat of bandits. Actually, it was a tough life. Don't look at how luxurious the life of a big merchant was. However, a big merchant started as a small merchant. Or perhaps, it was the inheritance left behind by the hard work of the ancestors.
"Everyone, let's disperse here. Two hours later, we will gather at the west city gate. If we are late, we can't wait anymore. "A shout rang out.
"Alright!"
"Brothers, let's go drink."
"Let's go. Old Three is treating us."
The merchants and guards dispersed according to their groups. As for Teng Qingshan, he walked with Old Zhang and the other five people.
"Look!" Blackie, who was beside Old Zhang, shouted, "In front. In front, there are so many people gathered there. What are they doing?"
"Sigh. There are quite a lot of people. Let's go and take a look." Baldy Jia's eyes lit up.
Roaming the world, it was best to be lively.
Teng Qingshan also curiously approached the crowd. To disguise as a 'merchant', one must hypnotize oneself to be a merchant. Act like a merchant, don't be a maverick. This way, one would not be conspicuous.
"A thousand taels of gold?"
"A hundred thousand taels of gold? Brother, recite it for me. I only know a thousand taels of gold. A hundred thousand taels of gold. "
Just as Teng Qingshan and the others approached, they discovered a group of people bustling and shouting.
"Motherfucker. If I kill this Teng Qingshan, won't I be rich and powerful for generations to come?" An excited voice came from the crowd in front. Many people surrounded them.
When Teng Qingshan heard the three words' Teng Qingshan ', he frowned.
Immediately, together with the other merchants, he squeezed into the crowd, wanting to squeeze into the innermost part.
