August.
It was a poetic season. The heavy rain that night had extinguished the heat in the air.
On the morning of the 12th.
Ye Chen got into Lin Tai's car with his parents sending him off while carrying his daughter. He saw his mother, Wu Lan, covering her mouth through the window as if she was about to cry. His father, Ye Hai, said nothing. All he did was smoke his cigarette, leaving a long trail of ash.
Both of them knew what would happen if Ye Chen and their precious granddaughter were to go.
Their daughter, Mengmeng, was in Ye Chen's embrace.
The little girl looked at her grandparents reluctantly. She said with red eyes, "Daddy, why don't Grandpa and Grandma come with us to look for Mommy? Mommy will be happy to see Grandpa and Grandma. "
"Grandpa and Grandma are old, so they can't travel far. Be a good girl, Mengmeng. Let's bring Mommy home to be filial to Grandpa and Grandma."
Ye Chen patted the little girl's head and gave Lin Tai a look. The car started, and his parents were left behind. They were getting further and further away until they disappeared.
"Daddy, Mommy, I promise you guys that I'll definitely bring Yuhan back safe and sound this time!"
Ye Chen stretched his arm to wipe the tears at the corner of his daughter's eyes.
This time, he kept a low profile. Apart from his parents and Lin Tai, who were driving, only knew about it. Even his closest Second Uncle, Ye Ming's family, had no idea.
Over half an hour later, the car arrived at the airport. Ye Chen walked out of the car while carrying his daughter. He did not bring any luggage with him because they were all in his storage ring.
Lin Tai said hesitantly, "My lord, why don't I go with you? I … I know someone over there. "
"There's no need."
"Stay in Tiannan and complete the mission that I gave you earlier. At the same time, take care of my parents and my company. Come back when the time is right."
Ye Chen shook his head. Ye Chen walked into the airport entrance while carrying his daughter after saying that.
Lin Tai had respect on his face as he watched him leave. He inhaled and enunciated word for word, "The true dragon has entered the sea. Beijing is going to be turned upside down …"
…
At the same time.
The Martial Dao World that had been quiet for a few days was stirred again. The Heaven Leaderboard had changed again. Moreover, it was the first time the top ten were announced to the world.
The Heaven Leaderboard had always kept track of the top fifty powerhouses in China. In the past, only the top forty had been announced, which made everyone curious about the top ten. Now that it was finally announced, how could everyone not be excited?
Inside a manor in Jin Ling City.
Two old men in their fifties or sixties were playing chess in the courtyard, each holding a black and a white. The two seemed to be evenly matched, and they were in a deadlock with their brows furrowed.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
At this moment, a joyful voice came from inside the house, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.
A gorgeous woman wearing a pink bath towel and slippers ran out of the house.
The girl's face was filled with excitement. As she ran, her impressive chest bounced up and down.
Yue Jiuchong glanced at her and immediately turned his face away. He said while twitching his lips, "Susu, can't you be more discreet with your clothes? Your Grandpa Shen is watching."
Hearing this.
The other old man's face turned red. He coughed violently and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Yue Susu just snapped back to her senses. She blushed and stuck her tongue out playfully. "No, grandpa, the Heaven Leaderboard has been updated."
"The Heaven Leaderboard is updated every year. It's normal. Do you have to run out without changing your clothes?" Yue Jiuchong said angrily.
Yue Susu stomped her feet and added immediately, "No, the top ten of the Heaven Leaderboard has been updated this time!"
"What? The top ten has been updated? "
As soon as she said that.
Shock flashed through Yue Jiuchong and Old Man Shen's faces. They threw the chess game aside and rushed into the house. They turned on the computer and logged into the Martial Dao World forum. They were even more excited than Yue Susu.
"Top ten of China's Heaven Leaderboard!"
Five bold golden words appeared before their eyes. Yue Jiuchong suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued reading.
"No. 10 on China's Heaven Leaderboard — Unquestionable Sword, from Luoyang. Age: 40. Level: Intermediate innate-stage. He's known as one of the Eastern Superior, Western Overlord, Mad Southern, and Northern Devil. He's an expert in Sword Dao.
He can even control the sword to take someone's head from 100 steps away. He's known as the Sword God of China. Before Mad Southern Ye appeared, he was the most powerful one among the Eastern Superior, Western Overlord, Southern Killer, and Northern Devil … "
Yue Susu asked curiously with her beautiful eyes wide open, "Grandpa, is this Unquestionable Sword really that powerful? He can take someone's head from 100 steps away with his sword? "
"That's right."
Yue Jiuchong nodded and recalled. "This person is different from Yuan Bupo and the rest. He's mysterious. I saw him once in Luoyang 20 years ago. I could feel the sword intent on his body from 10 meters away. It was like a thorn in my back."
"Grandpa, you were a Martial Dao master 20 years ago. His aura can affect you from 10 meters away?" Yue Susu was shocked.
The old man with the surname Shen, who was standing aside, sighed and said, "Silly girl, there are different masters. Take someone like Unquestionable Sword for example. His aura is powerful, and his energy is majestic. Masters who are slightly weaker will lose their will to fight just by looking at him."
"Oh God, Unquestionable Sword is already so powerful, but he's only ranked No. 10. I can't imagine how terrifying the people before him are." Yue Susu was shocked.
The few of them proceeded to read on.
"No. 9 on China's Heaven Leaderboard — Wei Wuya. Age: 38. Level: Intermediate innate-stage.
"No. 8 on China's Heaven Leaderboard — Yan Nanfei. Age: 39. Level: Intermediate innate-stage.
"No. 7 on China's Heaven Leaderboard — Li Yunxiao. Age: 41. Level: Mastery innate-stage.
"No. 6 on China's Heaven Leaderboard — Han Qinhu. Age: 45. Level: Mastery innate-stage. 20 years ago, he fought three masters on his own. In the end, two died and one was injured …"
Yue Jiuchong's face turned a little gloomy as he read to this point. He seemed to have recalled something sad.
"Grandpa, was it Commander Han who injured you back then?" Yue Susu asked, poking at his sore spot.
Yue Jiuchong nodded lightly and said in all seriousness, "Your First Master, Second Master, and I are from the Xing Yi Sect. Your First Master killed many people to avenge his personal grudge, and the military came to suppress him. Commander Han broke into the Xing Yi Sect alone. To protect the inheritance, your First Master, Second Master, and I could only fight him. It was three against one. In the end, your First Master and Second Master died in Commander Han's hands. If not for Commander Han's magnanimity, I'm afraid I would've died in that battle.
"Although that was the case, I was severely injured in that battle. My cultivation base regressed, and I'm no longer a master."
Yue Jiuchong looked lonely as he spoke to this point.
Yue Susu's eyes turned red, and she comforted him immediately, "Alright, grandpa. Let bygones be bygones."
"Yes, let's continue reading," the old man said while smiling.
"No. 5 on the China Heaven Leaderboard — Su Chongming; Age: 42; Level: Late-stage Connate Cultivator."
"No. 4 on the China Heaven Leaderboard — Pang Yuanqing. Age: 36. Cultivation Level: Late-stage Connate Stage."
"No. 3 on the China Heaven Leaderboard — Qin Xiaotian. Age: 34. Cultivation Level: Late Connate Stage. Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai. Nickname: Maniac.
He grew up in the Shaolin Temple and became the disciple of the Shaolin Temple's martial monk, Shi Wushe. He looks simple and honest, and he cultivates both internal and external cultivation. His Iron Shirt has been cultivated to the extreme, and he is impervious to swords and spears. He once single-handedly killed many overseas martial arts masters. "
"No. 2 on the China Heaven Leaderboard — Yang Junlin. Age: 48. Level: Unknown. Known as the No. 1 person in China's military, a legend in the military world, and the God of War of China. He reached the peak of the Innate Stage at the age of 30 and has defeated all the heroes in China without a single defeat.
Yue Jiuchong and Old Man Shen inhaled sharply one after another. They looked horrified. "The God of War of China!"
The weight behind these few words was too heavy. Although they claimed to be people from the ancient martial arts world, they had never known that there was such a person in China.
It could be seen how deep the martial arts world was.
Yue Susu, who was standing aside, did not think too much about it. She exclaimed all of a sudden, "Grandpa, look at No. 1."
Yue Jiuchong looked over immediately and his brows twitched hard.
"No. 1 on the China Heaven Leaderboard — Mad Southern Ye. Age: 30. Level: Unknown. Born in Tiannan. His cultivation base is unknown. This person went missing for five years for no reason and came back five years later.
"This person used to be No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard. He killed Yuan Bupo on the Surge River and fought three masters on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. He killed Northern Devil Jiang with a swing of his sword and Eastern Superior Ning with a punch. He went after Western Overlord Liu for thousands of miles and killed another overseas Martial Dao master in our country's sea."
"This person is suspected to be a cultivation master and a Martial Dao master at the peak of the innate stage. He has never lost a single battle since he fought. Moreover, he killed every time he fought. I suspect that he hasn't unleashed his full ability yet. Therefore, he's ranked No. 1 on the Heaven Leaderboard, No. 1 among the innate stage, and No. 1 among the masters!"
Yue Jiuchong and the rest looked like they were petrified after being ranked No. 1 three times consecutively. They were speechless for a long time.
…
Mad Southern Ye, No. 1 on the China Heaven Leaderboard!
On this day, the Chinese Martial Dao World was in an uproar. All of them were shocked by the ranking. They had mixed feelings after they calmed down.
It was an era of heroes. Qin Xiaotian, Pang Yuanqing, Han Qinhu, Li Yunxiao, Yan Nanfei, Wei Wuya, Unquestionable Jian, and Yang Junlin.
Heroes fought for supremacy while beauties were as beautiful as jade.
Facing so many heroes, could he, Mad Southern Ye, create glory again and suppress the heroes?
