Bang, bang, bang! Fireworks exploded one after another like thousands of flowers blooming. The colors were different, and they were bright and beautiful, indicating that New Year's Eve had passed and the New Year had arrived.
There was silence in the hall of Happycloud Heights. In the past, Su Wuming had been in Life-risking Hermetic Training for three years. He had cut through the gap between heaven and man with a single stroke of his sword. His sword beam had traveled hundreds of miles and entered the Exterior realm, shocking the entire Jianghu. However, since then, two more people on the ranking list had made similar breakthroughs. No one knew how many years it had been since such a thing had happened.
He Jiu had occupied the first place on the Ranking List of Young Masters for many years, which had caused the guests to speculate that he would imitate his predecessors. Of course, it took many years for someone like Su Wuming to appear. Therefore, Bai Wenyuan and Mi Zijing felt that it was unlikely for He Jiu to make a breakthrough directly. Instead, he would be like Aunt Bai, pausing at the perfect Half-step and adjusting his physical and mental state. After a year or two, he would advance without any obstacles. Who knew that not only did He Jiu reach "heaven" in one step, but so did Ledgerkeeper of Lives!
This generation's Ranking List of Young Masters was truly terrifying! Even in Su Wuming's generation, there had never been a situation where two people were promoted at once!
"Congratulations, Young Heightslord. Young Master Wang has reached 'heaven' in a single step." The Exterior elder of Eastsea Sword Village, Old Yanghao, smiled and stood up to congratulate them.
He only felt gratitude towards Wang Siyuan's last strike.
Hong Qian, Qian Kai, and the other Exterior-level masters also stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, Heightslord He. Childe Wang has broken through the gap between heaven and man."
From this day on, He Jiu and Wang Siyuan were no longer rookies on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Instead, they were experts of the Exterior, capable of suppressing an entire region.
Mengqi and the others also stood up to congratulate Meng Qi. He Jiu laughed heartily and waved his hand to signal the maids and servants to serve up the fine wine and delicacies. In name, the Party of Happycloud had officially begun, but in reality, it was already over.
After watching the song and dance, Crown Prince Zhao Qian was the first to take his leave. He left with the eunuch Wei Gao and the divine monk Hua Yan of the Samantabhadra Temple.
"Buddha Heart Palm" Xuan Zhen was slightly late. Shaolin's attitude towards Zhao Qian was still unclear.
With a good start, the guests who were either shocked, motivated, or in a bad mood left one after another. The Party of Happycloud was coming to an end.
Dressed in a light yellow dress, Jiang Zhiwei slowly walked to Mengqi and said with a smile, "I never thought that my ranking on the Ranking List of Young Masters would directly rise by two places."
So far, only Gu Xiaosang, the "Siren of Grand Luo" was ahead of her. But compared to those who were ahead of her, she preferred to defeat them herself and climb up the rankings step by step.
"Don't worry, you can surpass them on the Terrestrial Rankings in the future!" Mengqi was half joking and half looking forward to it.
Jiang Zhiwei nodded. "After witnessing their advancement, I have gained some insights. Moreover, I have been out for a long time. I have experienced countless battles and sparring. I suddenly want to meditate for a while, digest what I have learned, and think about my own path."
"I plan to return to the Sword Washing Pavilion. What about you, little monk?"
"I'm also going to meditate. Anyway, meditating anywhere is not meditating. Why don't we build a hut near the Sword Washing Pavilion?" Mengqi joked.
If the Sword Washing Pavilion was not so far away in the northwest, he really would have thought of this. Unfortunately, the journey was long and delayed. It was better to wait until he had digested what he had learned and opened his Ninth Acupores before traveling there.
Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Remember to pay the land rent."
She could tell that what Mengqi wanted most at the moment was to find a place to meditate, so she did not invite him to accompany her to the Sword Washing Pavilion.
"After today, I will hide my tracks and leave Ying City. Even if the Myths want to vent their anger, they probably won't be able to find me …" Mengqi changed the topic to talk about the Myths. "It's a pity that I didn't teach them a lesson."
He used Secret Voice-sending, so he was not afraid that the Exterior masters outside would hear him. After all, they already knew what they needed to know. Moreover, there might even be Exterior masters who deliberately hid it for him.
"There will be a chance in the future." Jiang Zhiwei smiled and returned Mengqi's words to him.
The two chatted for a while and only left with Jiang Zhiwei after Hong Qian said goodbye to Gong Yanghao.
Mengqi was about to return to the side yard to sleep and blend into the crowd at dawn when he suddenly saw Wang Siyuan, who had just exchanged a few words with He Jiu, walking toward him.
"Su Meng, cough cough, you're going to have a tribulation soon." Wang Siyuan said while coughing.
"Huh?" Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Wang Siyuan and waited for him to continue.
Wang Siyuan slowly turned around and said, "Don't tell me everything. The mysteries of heaven must not be leaked."
"This, this is asking for a beating!" Mengqi's face twitched a few times. Even the swindlers and swindlers on the streets would give a detailed explanation after scaring people with lies and recommend ways to avoid disasters and earn money. Wang Siyuan, on the other hand, left without a word. It was frightening and confusing!
Mengqi tried to catch up with him and ask, but Wang Siyuan, who was already an Exterior master, was much faster. He was out of the hall in the blink of an eye and left with Wang Ruizhi.
"… What kind of tribulation is this!" Meng Qi cursed, unable to figure it out.
…
Misty Rain Mountain was near Happycloud Heights. Crown Prince Zhao Qian, divine monk Hua Yan, and eunuch Wei Gao soon arrived at the foot of the mountain under the escort of a group of guards and monks.
Suddenly, the mountain shook and the ground shook. Giant rocks rolled down and dust rose around them, blurring their surroundings.
Screams rang out incessantly as the guards were crushed into meat paste by the giant rocks.
Hua Yan stood in front of Zhao Qian, golden light rising from his Aperture acupoints, condensing into an illusory golden Buddha figure behind him. The chanting and chanting of Buddha echoed in the air.
He formed the Seal of Precious Vase and so did the Buddha figure. The two seemed to overlap and hit upward.
Buddha's Light shone brightly and strong Qi shot out like rushing water, colliding with a giant rock the size of a hill falling from the sky.
Boom!
The mountain shattered and turned into a rain of rocks mixed with specks of Buddha's Light.
Both of Hua Yan's feet sank into the soil slightly. A figure flew out and landed not far away. The mountain peak just now was actually formed by his fist. The mountain Qi condensed, and it seemed like he had directly moved half of the small mountain over!
As the figure landed on the ground, the mountain peak shook even more violently.
He wore a mask and was the "Mountain God" often seen in dramas.
At the same time, eunuch Wei Gao's expression changed. He felt a rising killing intent and a Sword Qi disturbing his mind.
He quickly clapped his hands and waves of ripples spread. Wherever they passed, the giant rocks and the soil were crushed.
Clang!
A long sword suddenly appeared and hit the ripples, dispersing them.
The person holding the long sword was also wearing a strange mask. He was the "Star of Northern Dipper" in dramas.
His figure flickered and his killing intent rose. Every sword strike made Wei Gao tremble and soon he was at a disadvantage.
The remaining guards and monks quickly surrounded Zhao Qian to protect him. Some tried to release a signal for the Exterior experts of Ying City to rescue him.
Just then, the guards' swords danced as if they were alive. They stabbed into the throats and hearts of the guards and the bodies of the monks beside them.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Blood-curdling screams rang out incessantly as one guard monk after another fell.
A graceful and noble woman rode a golden wind and came from the side of the mountain. With a flick of her finger, white Qi surged like swords and knives. The guards and monks fell to the ground like weeds. No one could get close to the Crown Prince and no one could release a signal for help.
The woman was also wearing a mask. Golden Emperor Queen Mother of the West!
Zhao Qian was at a loss when he was suddenly attacked. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow surrounded by Devil Qi. He could not see what was inside and only felt that it was evil and scary.
The Devil Shadow's hands did not have any fancy moves. The silent Devil Howl went straight into Zhao Qian's Vital Spirit.
A golden spot appeared between Zhao Qian's eyebrows. It was solemn like a god had descended to the world and resisted the Devil Howl.
He pulled out his long sword and the shaking mountain seemed to freeze for a moment. It was the sword art recorded in the Book of Shocking the World.
Where the sword light went, the Devil Qi seemed to be suppressed and slowly dissipated. The figure inside was also wearing a mask. It was the Demon of the Realm of Self who had betrayed the Demonic Lord and joined the Celestial Court!
Its supreme art had never been passed down and no one knew about it. The Myths also had no choice but to replace it with other Divine Arts.
The sword and the two claws collided and were suddenly stuck. The force contained in the sword flowed into the Devil Shadow like rivers flowing back to the river.
Not only that, Zhao Qian felt that his genuine Qi could not stop leaking. His flesh and bones seemed to have their own will and wanted to join the enemy.
In the face of this strange change and terrifying Half-step, Zhao Qian was in a desperate situation and was about to be sucked dry.
However, the Book of Shocking the World was not a trivial matter. Eunuch Wei Gao had only cultivated a superficial part of it and had strong combat power. At the moment of life and death, the genuine Qi in Zhao Qian's body turned into ripples. He disregarded himself and shook off the Devil Qi and the suction force.
At this moment, the Devil Shadow let out a strange laugh and his genuine Qi suddenly changed. Zhao Qian felt that he was in paradise and it was much more refreshing than when he had sex with women!
His lower body shot out and tears and snot came out. He was about to die from exhaustion. His flesh, bones and genuine Qi were no longer under his control and began to flow towards the Devil Shadow.
The Devil Extreme Bliss that he had just learned!
"Amitabha …"
"As I have heard …"
At this critical moment, Buddha light appeared in Zhao Qian's Vital Spirit and a glaze-like Buddha relic appeared between his eyebrows. It fixed his flesh and blood and blocked the Extreme Bliss. The surroundings were quiet and the Devil could not invade.
Seizing the opportunity, he released a signal for help.
The secret item broke through the layers of smoke and flew into the air, exploding into a strange golden flower.
At the same time, it dispelled the cover and exposed the scene on the mountain to the people of Happycloud Heights not far away.
"The Crown Prince? The Myths? " Qian Kai, the Slivery-badge Arrester who was chatting with Mengqi, focused his eyes and turned pale with fright. He immediately flew over to help.
He Jiu's face was full of fighting spirit and inexplicably happy. He turned into Sword Qi and flew towards Misty Rain Mountain with Gong Yanghao.
With his current strength, Mengqi could not clearly see the situation in Misty Rain Mountain, but he heard Qian Kai muttering to himself.
"The Myths ambushed the Crown Prince?" The corner of his mouth twitched. He did not know whether to be surprised or happy. "Could it be that the Myths also think that the Crown Prince has the True Emperor Seal?"
"Will Prince Jin get involved?"
"Could he be related to The Myth? The Myths attacked suddenly and firmly unless they are sure that Zhao Yi did not succeed … "
"They will really sit back and watch them fight each other …"
"Eh, the Myths has an Exterior master. Why was Old Zhong the only one who attacked in the Valley of Unkempt Tombs and let Sikong Tu escape?"
Mengqi watched from afar, his thoughts running wild. Amidst his doubts, he felt a sense of pleasure at being uninvolved.
All good things must come to an end. The surroundings were quiet. Mengqi looked around and only saw a few servants and maids.
"There are no masters in the manor …"
"There are no masters here!" His heart suddenly skipped a beat as he remembered Wang Siyuan's warning.
"I will be in trouble soon!"
Clang! He drew his long saber.
The surroundings suddenly turned dark and he could not see his fingers.
"Wolf King?"
