Sun Jingzong and Jing Santan stood on the ice platform, their faces dark.
They were in a dilemma. Even with Sun Jingzong's divine foresight, he did not foresee this.
By sharing the secret manual, they were copying others' ideas. In the eyes of the crowd, they were inspired by Guo Yingjie. The crowd was still grateful to Guo Yingjie, but not only were they not grateful, they looked down on them.
If they did not make the secret manual public, it would make them seem even more selfish. Their breadth of mind and bearing would be as different as heaven and earth. Once this matter spread, their reputations would be tarnished.
Guo Yingjie's move was truly vicious. It disgusted the two of them.
The crowd did not have the time to think about them. They were all struggling and hesitating. After all, it was not right for them to gain such great benefits for free.
Finally, someone could not hold back his curiosity and greed. He stood up and said, "Brother Guo, I want to make a copy of the manual."
It was a tall and sturdy young man. He strode to the front of the table and looked at the palm technique manual with burning eyes. He sat in front of the table and picked up a pen, preparing to make a copy.
Guo Yingjie nodded and smiled. "Everyone, why don't you all make a copy? Even though it talks about palm techniques, it also touches on other martial arts. Your understanding of martial arts is truly impressive. The author of this manual is Chen Zhaoliang … Chen Zhaoliang, who knows? Forgive me for my ignorance. "
"I've heard of this person." The muscular young man who sat down said, "If I am not wrong, Chen Zhaoliang was a top expert ten thousand years ago. He was known as the Dual Master of Palm and Sword."
"Dual Master of Palm and Sword." Someone muttered, then exclaimed, "I remember now, Tian Nan Shen Zhang, Chen Zhaoliang!"
"Yes." The muscular young man started to make a copy as he nodded.
Guo Yingjie smiled. "No wonder. After reading his explanation, even someone like me who does not specialize in palm techniques could not help but feel enlightened. I felt like my palm technique had improved."
The crowd started to discuss in low voices. Someone stood up and said, "I want a copy too."
"Me too."
The crowd reached out their hands and surrounded them.
Guo Yingjie smiled. "Then everyone can borrow it and make a copy. Just don't damage the manual."
He turned to the two people beside him and chuckled, "Brother Sun, Brother Jing, you don't have to learn from me. Because I practice swordsmanship, I don't attach much importance to palm techniques. That's why I'm generously offering Buddha with borrowed flowers."
"Guo Yingjie, I underestimated you!" Sun Jingzong narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Good move!"
Guo Yingjie laughed and said, "You flatter me. Compared to the methods of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion, I am ashamed of my inferiority."
"I'll remember you." Sun Jingzong said slowly, "It seems like your Ten Thousand Swords City is quite ambitious. You want to rise and contend against the Nine Divisions."
"Brother Sun thinks too highly of us!" Guo Yingjie shook his head and said, "Compared to the Nine Divisions, which are full of talents and masters, our City of Ten Thousand Swords isn't even worth mentioning. It's a pity that Chu Li didn't make a move this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."
Sun Jingzong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "There's no need to sow discord. If Chu Li makes a move, you won't be a match for him even if you reveal your hidden skills. You won't be able to make it to the upper echelons with such tactics!"
"Yes, yes." Guo Yingjie smiled and nodded. "It's a pity that Chu Li didn't make a move. Could it be that he couldn't stand your tyranny and deliberately didn't make a move?"
Jing Santan said coldly, "Young Governor Guo, you're smart this time. I'm impressed!"
His maroon face was gloomy and his narrowed eyes flashed with a cold glint. His murderous intent toward Guo Yingjie surged and he wanted nothing more than to kill him.
However, Guo Yingjie's martial arts was not bad either. It would not be easy to kill him.
When he thought of this, he turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li sat there motionlessly like a clay statue. There was no aura at all. It was as if the thing that remained there was only a shell. His mind was already far away, as if he had ascended.
It was possible that Chu Li had already gone mad and would never wake up again.
Guo Yingjie smiled and said, "Looking at Chu Li like this, he might really have comprehended the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference!"
The conversation between the three was heard by everyone.
Although they knew that Guo Yingjie was trying to win the hearts of the people, Sun Jingzong and Jing Santan were too lazy to do so. This comparison made them even angrier and more dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Nine Divisions.
They looked at Chu Li with schadenfreude, wishing that Chu Li would go mad.
It was not that they were not broad-minded enough, but under such circumstances, they could not help but feel a sense of common hatred. All the sects and martial arts masters of the Outland were becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Nine Divisions and could not be reconciled.
The sturdy young man suddenly put down his pen and blew on the booklet that he had finished writing. He stood up and closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Brother Guo!"
"You're welcome." Guo Yingjie closed fist saluted and smiled.
Immediately, another young man sat down and began to copy.
A low whistle was faintly discernible. Everyone was skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary hearing. When they heard this sound, they immediately scanned their surroundings to find the source but could not find the source of the sound.
This low whistle seemed to come from the sky. It was faintly discernible but it lingered in their ears, making it impossible for them to ignore it.
As the whistling gradually rose, their blood and Qi began to surge, and their heartbeats accelerated. As the whistling rose, their heartbeats became faster and faster, almost jumping out of their chests. They hurriedly tried to suppress it, but it was useless. When the whistling reached the clouds, their blood and Qi boiled, and their heartbeats sped up several times. Protective Upstanding Qi appeared around their bodies, looking colorful and spectacular.
However, Sun Mingyue sensed that the whistle came from Chu Li.
Chu Li closed his eyes and his lips were slightly opened. It was hard to tell that he was whistling, but when the whistle came from his mouth, it sounded like it came from the sky, far and wide, as if it would go on forever and never end.
Everyone did not care about anything else and sat back on their ice blocks. They began to circulate their energy to suppress it and did not even bother to copy the secret booklet.
Even Fu Qiuhua and the other three elders could only sit down and circulate their energy to resist.
To them, the whistle seemed to go on for a long time. When they gradually lost hope and could not suppress the boiling of their bodies, their blood and inner energy were out of control, the whistle stopped abruptly.
It was as if they had gone from a high-speed rush to a standstill. Their blood and inner energy suddenly stopped, but they could not help but feel extreme pain. Their chests were full of pressure and they wanted to vomit, but they could not vomit. Their vision darkened.
"Haha …" A long laugh suddenly rang out, echoing through the clouds.
The surrounding people suddenly felt refreshed and their minds became clear.
Chu Li sat cross-legged and slowly floated into the air. He looked up to the sky and laughed. His aura suddenly rose and enveloped everyone like the sea.
Everyone hurriedly circulated their energy, but unfortunately, they were unable to struggle. They could only be restrained by his surging energy and watch him float in the air. A strange symbol appeared in the void above his head, which was no different from the Scroll of Indifference on the precipice.
Their expressions changed slightly as they all had a bad feeling.
Fu Qiuhua and the other three were even more shocked and looked at Chu Li in surprise.
They were more familiar with the Scroll of Indifference than their own faces. When they saw the vague symbol in the void above Chu Li's head, they knew it was the Scroll of Indifference.
They did not understand these symbols and did not know the meaning of the symbols, but they recognized each one.
Chu Li slowly put down his legs and stood in the void. The laughter had stopped and he was staring at the precipice from a hundred meters away.
