Blue waves rippled and fishes flew out of the sea. The land was already in sight.
As for Gu Xiaosang's true purpose, Meng Qi could not be bothered to guess because there were too few relevant clues. He could not even use them to extrapolate. Without a clue, it would be a waste of time. Moreover, Demoness Gu was a little mysterious. It was as if she knew a lot of things and was always one step ahead of others. She played many masters in the palm of her hand. The clues she gave and the information she left behind were half true and half false. It was extremely easy to be misled and fall into a trap.
Was it the same in Samsara? I wonder if she has any teammates, or is she just a lone wolf? What did she want to do? Mengqi subconsciously thought about Gu Xiaosang, but he was not worried that she could not escape. It was more practical to worry about how Liu Shuyu would deal with the aftermath.
Since the Plain Lady's Paradise had not been sealed for too long, Shang River Fairy and Guo Xi were still under temporary control. With Liu Shuyu's cover-up and indirect influence, they did not expose any problems. However, as Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang left, they would regain consciousness sooner or later. Guo Xi was fine. He had enlightened the Apertures and was muddle-headed from beginning to end. He did not know or understand anything. With a little secret method to guide his memory, he would be fine.
However, Shang River Fairy was a Peerless Master Pro. Her Primordial Spirit was as strong as her body. After she recovered, she would not be able to detect any clues. She would be able to tolerate many poor partners for Dual Cultivation. Once she reported her abnormality, the current Mystic Fairy would be able to deduce the cause and effect immediately.
Of course, the feud between Gu Xiaosang and the Plain Lady Sect was very deep. Moreover, he did not take the Conqueror's Invincible Blade and the Grandmaster's slough with him. It did not matter whether he exposed himself or not. Anyway, he was free to do whatever he wanted!
But for Liu Shuyu, this was a fatal problem that had to be solved. After all, the Successor of Mystic Fairy was not an irreplaceable "role"!
"I wonder what she'll do …" Meng Qi frowned as the words "silence the witness" floated into his mind. Not only Shang River Fairy, but Guo Xi and Liu Shuyu would also be eliminated without a trace.
Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. Although Guo Xi was not killed by him, Guo Xi died because of him. It was a pity that he was almost unable to protect himself under the heavy pressure, so how could he care about others?
"After all, I am not a selfless hero …" Mengqi sighed. He adjusted his mood and stopped thinking about it. He was not worried about how Liu Shuyu, whose cultivation was far lower than Shang River Fairy, would deal with the aftermath. Perhaps Gu Xiaosang had other tricks up her sleeves.
If she failed to deal with the aftermath, he would not feel any pity.
He turned his attention back to the two styles of "Nine Annihilations in Heavenly Skies" and the general principles, third and fourth styles of The Conqueror's Six Decapitations, especially the latter, which was of great help to his understanding and improvement of his bladesmanship. After all, the main body of "Nine Annihilations in Heavenly Skies" was a spear art. Although it could also be used for bladesmanship, there was still a gap.
"I've also gained some insights into the skills of the Immortal God Parting and the Buddhas' Nirvana. I can use them to improve my saber techniques." Suddenly, Mengqi frowned. "Killing the Spirited Mountain and the Buddhas' Nirvana. How could it be 'Spirited Mountain'?"
As a traveler, he did not doubt that Spirited Mountain represented Buddhism. That was why he did not notice anything wrong. Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized something was wrong.
The Gautama Buddha of his own world was in the Whirling Pure Land, and Amitabha was in the Western Pure Land. These two were the symbols of Buddhism. Spirited Mountain belonged to the world of the Journey to the West. Why did The Conqueror not use the first two, but "Whirling Pure Land"?
"The Conqueror is in the Legendary Realm, the only one in all the worlds. Maybe there are legends in the world of the Journey to the West, so it is reasonable that he knows about Spirited Mountain. But why did he use the little-known" Spirited Mountain "instead of" Whirling Pure Land "? This is not in line with The Conqueror's domineering and fearless style of doing things. "Mengqi thought of many reasons, but they were all somewhat far-fetched.
Now that the boundless land appeared, he gathered his thoughts and quietly descended the conveyance light.
They had been deep in the East Sea for some time. After entering the port, Mengqi immediately inquired about the news so that he would not be targeted.
Apart from the uproar about the Blue-blooded People, there was another rumor going around in the restaurant.
"Yan Chong, the Unstoppable River of Knife Qi, has passed the Thunder Ordeal and reached Heaven in one step!"
Six people in the top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters had reached Heaven in one step. This was the most heaven-defying scene in the history of the Ranking List of Young Masters. Many masters sensed the changes in the world and the arrival of the Great Ordeal.
"Yan Chong has passed the Thunder Ordeal and reached Heaven?" Mengqi was gratified to hear this news. Yan Chong came from a small sect. Although he had some adventures, they were not outstanding. When he entered the top ranks of the Ranking List of Young Masters, many people thought that reaching the Exterior was his limit. However, he had struggled hard and walked step by step. Even if he had to rely on power to obtain resources, skills, and enlightenment, he did not lose his original heart. He practiced hard and found his own path, reaching Heaven in one step and becoming a grandmaster in the future.
He could be called an inspirational legend in Jianghu!
In the eyes of ordinary Jianghu people, Mengqi had entered the Shaolin Temple and received the impartation. Later on, he would have a good foundation. In comparison, Yan Chong was more representative of them. Cultivation was difficult, Jianghu dangerous, and the road was full of thorns, but there was still hope!
At least they could imagine that in the future, "I" could be like Yan Chong!
"It was not easy for him to reach this step. The effort and effort he put in probably surpassed He Jiu. He is indeed worthy of respect." Mengqi turned around and left the restaurant. He was in high spirits. "I have to go congratulate him."
Taking advantage of the night, he went in high spirits!
…
The Jingbo City of Peng Province faced the sea and was backed by Xiushan.
The Sect of Ocean Tide was a famous sect in Jingbo, but it was only limited to Jingbo. It was not famous in Jianghu at all. It had never produced an Exterior master, nor did it have a Precious Weapon. A sect like this could not even compare to many martial arts clubs in Yedu!
Today, however, there were many travel-worn young boys and girls in the mountain gate of the Sect of Ocean Tide. They had traveled thousands of miles just to join the sect. It was a stark contrast to the deserted situation of the past. Several elders were grinning from ear to ear when they saw that there was no lack of talents among the crowd.
And all of this was because of Yan Chong, the first person in the history of Jingbo City to rank first on the Ranking List of Young Masters, the first Exterior master of the Sect of Ocean Tide, and one of the few who had reached heaven with one step. He was a grandmaster!
In the eyes of many in Jianghu, as long as Yan Chong could join a powerful force, he would have no lack of skills. It was only a matter of time before he entered the Terrestrial Rankings. Judging from his past behavior, he was not inflexible in this aspect. So rather than competing with the geniuses in the big sects, he might as well come to the Sect of Ocean Tide to become a master!
Yan Chong had a long saber strapped to his waist and his hands clasped behind his back. He watched the scene from afar with a gentle smile. He was born and raised in this sect. To be able to bring glory to the sect with his own strength made him happier than becoming the heir of a big sect.
"Young Master Yan."
"Elder Yan!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
Seeing him pass by, the people who had come to join the sect and the disciples of the Sect of Ocean Tide greeted him respectfully. Yan Chong's Junior Brothers and Sisters were so excited that their faces were flushed red.
Yan Chong nodded and returned the greeting. He smiled and said, "Dark clouds are gathering and heavy rain is about to fall. Everyone, please enter the hall."
The summer rain had always come as it pleased. The sky was already dark, the water vapor condensed and lightning flashed.
Yan Chong watched as the crowd entered the hall. He himself walked towards his cottage halfway up the mountain with his hands clasped behind his back. This was his place of meditation.
As soon as he stepped in, the sky lit up. A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by the roar of thunder.
Not long after, the wind blew and the rain poured down. It was as dark as night outside. The only thing that could be seen were the splashes of water when the lightning flashed.
The cottage swayed in the wind and rain as if it would be carried away at any moment. However, Yan Chong was not worried at all. He sat on a chair and enjoyed the 'scenery' in a leisurely and peaceful manner.
Ever since he had set his sights on the Exterior, he had rarely been so relaxed.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked out the window. He saw a man walking slowly along the mountain path in the heavy rain.
The man was dressed in black and had a long saber at his waist. He held a jar of wine in his right hand and an object wrapped in oil paper in his left. He was handsome and had a heroic bearing.
He did not hold an umbrella or release his Protective Upstanding Qi. However, every drop of rain that fell on his hair, clothes, and skin slid off without missing a single drop. It was as if the force of the rain had been completely neutralized, leaving no trace of moisture on his body.
Despite the heavy rain, he seemed to be walking in a warm and sunny weather.
With his appearance, the thunder and lightning subsided and the darkness deepened.
"I am overjoyed to hear that Brother Yan has made a meteoric rise. I have specially brought a jar of good wine to congratulate you."
The heavy rain and wind could not cover up Mengqi's distant voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already appeared at the door.
"It is a great joy to have an old friend visit in the storm." Yan Chong smiled as he opened the door.
Mengqi did not stand on ceremony. He walked in boldly and unwrapped the oil paper to reveal the marinated beef. Yan Chong took out two large bowls and filled them to the brim.
"Cheers!" Mengqi drank a bowl of wine as a sign of respect. Yan Chong did not fall behind and drank like a whale gulping water.
"Brother Yan, you have made a meteoric rise. Your future is bright. Cheers!" Mengqi poured another bowl and gulped it down.
Yan Chong was also full of heroic spirit. After drinking a large gulp, he said, "I have admired the Exterior masters of other sects since I was young. I have vowed to not fall behind. Today, my wish has finally been fulfilled. Cheers!"
He did not hide his happiness.
After finishing the third bowl, he sighed. "We used to be known as the Double Sabers of the Ranking List of Young Masters. We have always wanted to learn from each other but always missed the opportunity. Today, we meet again. Although we are both Exterior masters, the gap between us is too great. Competition has lost its meaning.
"I have waited a long time for this strike. Finally, I have the chance to do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the saber at his waist suddenly rose up and the hilt automatically hit his palm.
Taking advantage of this momentum, he pulled his saber upwards. The saber turned around to face Mengqi. Outside, the wind and rain converged, forming a vortex pillar in the air that connected heaven and earth. It was as if a real dragon had coiled around it. It was dark and contained a terrifying power that merged with the saber momentum.
Mengqi looked at Yan Chong with a smile. His right hand was already on the hilt of his saber. The saber clearly froze as if it had stopped moving. It was very strange.
Clang!
The saber was unsheathed and broke free from its restraints. From bottom to top, one still and one moving, it gave birth to a brilliant saber light that was both fast and powerful!
Mengqi had learned a few techniques from "Immortals and Gods Avoiding Me"!
Clang!
The saber light scattered and the vortex pillar in the air was split into two. It quickly collapsed without affecting the wind and rain, so no one noticed it.
Yan Chong sat upright and withdrew his saber. He exhaled and said, "Your bladesmanship is much better than mine."
If Mengqi had not held back, his saber would have been broken.
Mengqi had already sheathed Heaven Inflicted Pain. He chuckled and said, "Your saber is not a Precious Weapon yet. It's an unfair victory."
As he said this, he sighed at the difficulty of Rogue Cultivators and small sects. They did not even have a Precious Weapon when they reached the Exterior level.
"I'm collecting materials to nurture it. It has been with me for nearly ten years," Yan Chong said with a smile. "After the Primary Instruction of the Buddha's Palm, you only appeared once in River East and then disappeared. That's not like Killing Blade's style."
"That's because I'm seizing the time to cultivate," Mengqi said with a smile. "That's why I'm so ignorant about Jianghu."
"The most sensational thing in Jianghu today is the Blue-blooded People. It's creepy and makes people extremely vigilant …" Yan Chong said slowly, "Merciless Tyrant has reappeared in Jianghu. His strength is unfathomable. It's said that he easily defeated Soul-chasing Demon Monarch without using his Dharma Form. The Sect of the Plain Lady treats him like a grandmaster …"
After saying a bunch of things, he said, "Merciless Tyrant has been listed on the Black List by various sects and aristocratic families. He ranks 99th."
He was not listed on the Terrestrial Rankings but was listed on the Black List … Mengqi had mixed feelings when he heard others talk about his sockpuppet. He felt a little smug but also a little ashamed.
"Among the Blue-blooded People, there's a Master Fa Zheng. Rumor has it that he has the strength of a grandmaster. However, we don't know if he has a secret method to restrain the Blue-blooded People. Six Fan School doesn't recognize him for the time being," Yan Chong continued.
As he spoke, he lowered his voice. "The Ruan family has secretly contacted many sects and aristocratic families. They seem to be interested in the Blue-blooded People."
Mengqi frowned slightly. The Ruan family really cared about the Blue-blooded People.
