Because the Mingjian Ranking compiled by Qingxie Fang was spread to various sects at the first time, it has become the most discussed topic outside of cultivation in recent times. Although Geng Qi has stolen the limelight this time, the top few on the Mingjian Ranking are still the focus of attention. The most eye-catching name is Jiang Feng. No matter whether it was the cup of tea at Shu Road before the game, the fact that he was personally received by the master of Jiange, or his sudden rise to second place, or the slight clues between him and those extraordinary women in all aspects, they all made him a mysterious character. However, such a topical figure was involved in the Demon Cult's action against Jiange on the day when the Watching the Tide and Listening to the Swords Conference ended. After turning the tide before the Bailong River tide and saving the Wanjian City, he disappeared without a trace and his life or death is unknown. This undoubtedly adds some heroic legendary color to his mystery, which is admirable. During the time that Liu Yuan was trapped in Emperor Wu's tomb, news about him had basically spread to all the sects in central Zhongzhou. The most important thing is that Qingfengfang is so efficient in gossip that he directly found out that the name "Jiang Feng" is just a pseudonym, and the information attached to the list has been updated several times. His appearance also changed from his disguised appearance to his original appearance. Although Jiang Feng was still listed on the Mingjian Ranking, his real name, Liu Yuan, had long been noted. He was once called Mr. Jun Xuan and had two wives whose marriages were not yet completed. "So it was him... I didn't expect that he was not dead and even ran into the Emperor Wu's Tomb."
Cen Shanzi, the leader of Taiqing Pavilion, thought and calmed down for a while, but the anger in his heart increased instead of decreased. "It turned out to be this guy who made Jianzi break through the barrier ahead of time, turned against the Pavilion Master, and traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Palace to confront the Demon Cult head-on!" Most of the disciples in Taiqing Pavilion have special feelings for Qinglian Sword Master, which is like a spiritual symbol. Of course, there is admiration and respect for those predecessors, but the current Qinglian Swordsman is the Pavilion Master’s sister, a beautiful woman, so the situation is different. Every disciple who grew up in Taiqing Pavilion, from childhood to adulthood, always has the opportunity to see the beautiful figure gazing into the distance on the Qinglian Sword Platform, or hear about how she sat alone for a hundred years, refining an unparalleled divine sword day after day. A glimpse that is unforgettable. But one day, all of a sudden, the stunning Qinglian Swordsman gave up his persistence for the sake of someone, and walked out from the cold and lonely high platform into the bustling and noisy world. This is not just a shattering of vague admiration, but also a collapse of faith. And Cen Shanzi's situation is even more special... He secretly admires Ling Yao, but because the gap is too huge, he doesn't even dare to think about her in his heart. Any more would be blasphemy. It was rare to meet Ling Yao face to face, or even have a conversation with him...but just now he heard Ling Yao say that he was ignorant. Cen Shanzi was so eager to refute him that his face was distorted, and in his heart he attributed all his anger to Liu Yuan. This anger added fuel to the fire, making him feel like he was about to fall apart. "Hehehe... So it's Brother Daoist Jiang Feng. I didn't remember it just now. Please forgive me." Cen Shanzi smiled and said, "Since Brother Daoist also thinks that it is more reasonable to let the capable get it, the ownership of this puppet should be decided by everyone showing their magical powers and abilities." Liu Yuan nodded, hoping that this group of people would start fighting so that he could escape first. After all, the most valuable things were already in his hands: "Daoyou, what you said is absolutely right..." But the wretched old man from Tianbao Pavilion interrupted and said, "Hey, are you in collusion with this kid from Taiqing Pavilion?" When he said this, Liu Yuan was stunned, and Cen Shanzi was even more confused and very angry: "Senior Fei Chen, I respect you as a senior, but you can't speak without basis!" Fei Chen turned the ring on his hand, squinted his eyes and laughed, then turned his gaze to Tang Yuanhua: "I have seen this guy before, he is from the outer sect of Taiqing Pavilion, how did he get mixed up with this Jiang Feng?" Cen Shanzi frowned and looked at Tang Yuanhua. After taking a look, he was surprised and said, "I have seen him in the outer sect before!" Liu Yuan glanced at Tang Yuanhua and said with a bow, "Fellow Daoist Tang and I met by chance and accidentally broke into this secret tomb. We fought side by side for a while. It's not that I have any collusion with the people of Taiqing Pavilion..." "It's not up to you to decide whether it's collusion or not." Fei Chen's smile changed from being vulgar to becoming very playful. "Since you said you didn't take a single needle or thread, why don't you show everyone the things on you and the disciple of Taiqing Pavilion next to you. I can take a look and tell by a whiff of its scent whether it is something from the tomb."
The Tianbao Pavilion's skills are very good at deducing the origins of items and have the ability to know the past and present lives of items. Although Fei Chen's words were very arrogant, the immortal cultivators present at the moment could only secretly curse Tianbao Pavilion for being too arrogant... But since it is really rich, no one wants to offend it. Liu Yuan could also understand Fei Chen's psychology. He remembered this NPC because his final ending was not very good. He pursued power too much and eventually died in a hunt after an auction because of greed. According to the effects of Tianbao Pavilion's skills, the things in Emperor Wu's tomb should be able to improve a lot... No wonder he is so anxious. Tang Yuanhua has the bead that once possessed the residual soul of Emperor Wu, and Liu Yuan has the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. It's not a big deal for the old man to have all the spiritual energy from the gods, but if it's exposed, it will be no joke! Liu Yuan signaled Tang Yuanhua to stay calm, and said in an awkward manner: "Senior Fei Chen, it's not that I don't want to prove it to you, but there are some things on me that I really can't show to others..." Fei Chen asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you feeling guilty?" "No." Liu Yuan coughed twice and suddenly looked at Ling Yao. Just as he was about to speak, a female voice with an evil tone suddenly sounded: "Fei Chen, he does have things from Emperor Wu's tomb, but they are all for my honor. How dare you go after him?!" Fei Chen suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears, but the next moment he saw the red-dressed woman appearing from behind Liu Yuan. He was so frightened that his soul flew away and his voice became distorted: "Grand Elder?!" Liu Yuan stared in amazement at the sword spirit in the box in front of him, Xiahou Cenyi, who looked like he was about to cover him! Damn it, what are you doing out here?! Chapter 230 Come here and meet your great-grandmaster The evil-sounding female voice had not yet fallen, and the sword spirit had not yet walked out from behind Liu Yuan, when Fei Chen's cry, faintly tinged with a hint of fear, startled everyone. The first thing that caught people's attention was his expression, which could be called out of control, a look mixed with shock, fear, and disbelief, as well as his subconscious movement to step back. Fei Chen was called by Tianbao Pavilion to explore the Martial Emperor Cave, so his cultivation must be not too weak. His cultivation level is at the Void Refining Stage, which is considered the first level among the people present. Although considering his age, it seems a bit shabby that his cultivation level is the same as that of the younger generation's Ling Jie, but after all, not everyone has such talent and qualifications, and the cultivation level of Tianbao Pavilion is more related to opportunities, so it cannot be said to be shameful. Therefore, before the real leaders of each sect arrive, this guy has the qualifications to take advantage of his seniority, and because of his personality, he is a bit arrogant. However, an old guy who had behaved so arrogantly suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost and was frightened, which made everyone feel absurd and unbelievable. And the sentence that follows right after it, "Grand Elder", is so eye-popping! Of the Grand Elders of Tianbao Pavilion, there is only one who is still active in the public eye. The age of Xiahou Cenyi, the aunt of Xiahou Su, the Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion, who is also known as the True Lord of Tribulation and Star Shifting, is currently unknown. However, according to Qingfeng Fang, she should be about 1,500 years old, 500 years older than that ancient sage. She called the skinny old man Fei Chen "boy", which seemed reasonable... Everyone's eyes shifted away from the terrified Fei Chen and fell on the woman in red who suddenly appeared behind Liu Yuan. Her black hair was like a waterfall, her red eyes were like fire, and her smile on the corner of her mouth was very perverse. She raised her chin slightly, stretched out her hand very naturally, and knocked the sword in Liu Yuan's hand back into the scabbard. She then pulled out the murderous sword in the scabbard, held it in her hand, made a sword flower, and pointed it forward. Liu Yuan just watched the sword slip out of his hand without any resistance. The fact that even the weapons in their hands were handed over without reservation clearly showed that the relationship between the two people was extraordinary. Fei Chen had just come back to his senses from extreme shock when he saw this scene. His pupils shrank involuntarily and his mind went blank.
This… this… this… what’s going on between the Grand Elder and this kid? ! No, that's not right! Why is the Grand Elder here? Could it be that... a dead tree has come back to life? Fei Chen's expression was stiff and he didn't know how to think anymore. But in fact, Liu Yuan was just confused for a moment and did not react. In addition, Xiahou Cenyi was already in the state of a murderous sword spirit, so the sword in the box did not resist at all. Ling Yao, who was standing at the front of the Yuxu Taoist sect, had an expression shrouded in mist, but his hand hidden by his wide sleeves moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the sword. No one around noticed that when Xiahou Cenyi was waving the sword, he was most focused on the sword body with the scabbard, and pointed forward at the hilt. When she stopped, the sharp black sword slid a little due to inertia. Others thought she was about to draw out her sword, but the preliminary action was a little fancy and took a little longer. But for some reason, Ling Yao noticed this. Senior Sister Yuxu's gaze, as cold as a star, fell on that small section of the sword. In addition to the red cracks on the sword, there is also a sword inscription that was engraved later - [Yu Wu Zhen Jun Xuan]. And Liu Yuan, when he was talking to everyone before, had been holding this sword, very naturally. It was obvious that he had been using this sword for some time. "..." Ling Yao's expression was so calm, like a still well, fully reflecting the composure that one should have as the most promising leader of the new generation of Yuxu Taoism. Her gaze moved upwards and she saw Xiahou Cenyi's face. Her beautiful eyes were slightly wide open, and her lips were curled in a wicked smile, both of which were filled with perverse and undisguised provocation... and complacency. Ling Yao understood instantly that Xiahou Cenyi did it on purpose for her to see. This is blatant showing off! I have to say that compared to the previous few people, the Grand Elder is worthy of being the Grand Elder. He did not think of concealing anything from the beginning, or maybe this is the strength brought by strength. Just take what you want. Can her toys be given to others to play with? Not only does she want to get it, she also wants to tell others that she has played with it, played it all over, and even left her own mark on it. And you can only watch. Ling Yao, who had always been well-versed in Taoism and self-cultivation, subconsciously clenched the demon-subduing sword in her hand. Her eyes, which had always been calm, darkened a little, as if brewing a hint of terrifying cold light, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She was still the Taoist woman who was like the cold smoke in the distant mountains, neither close nor distant. Ling Jie beside her felt a chill and became alert suddenly. He scratched his head in confusion, but there was nothing unusual. He wondered in his heart that he might have been hallucinating because he was too nervous. "Shh!" The sword spirit looked at Ling Yao, who seemed to have no reaction, with a half-smile, and then immediately put away his murderous intention and said in a cold voice: "All disciples of Tianbao Pavilion, listen to my orders." The people in Tianbao Pavilion were still a little panicked. A large part of them had never actually seen Xiahou Cenyi. They only knew from rumors that Pavilion Master Xiahou Su had an elder whom he respected very much and whom he dared not disobey. The elder had a very high status and was one of the supreme elders in the pavilion.
Such a person should not appear here, and appeared next to an outsider in such an unexpected form. Then no one answered for a while, and everyone turned their eyes to Fei Chen. Fei Chen had met the Grand Elder before, but he was still hesitant, suspecting that Liu Yuan might have done something fishy. He smiled awkwardly and bowed, "Grand Elder, do you have any tokens?" Xiahou Cenyi said with a smile: "A keepsake? Let me think about it... Fei Chen, the year you entered the pavilion, you held onto your parents and cried so hard that you refused to leave. You grabbed the table leg and refused to let go. You cried and made a scene that made the younger people in charge of recruiting disciples laugh. I still have the photo stone from that year. Do you want to review your childhood?" All of a sudden, all the disciples of Tianbao Pavilion looked at the skinny old man. Fei Chen's face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and smiled bitterly, "I was wrong, elder, you say..." Xiahou Cenyi turned around and looked at Liu Yuan with a smile, until the latter felt a little numb on his scalp, then he said: "Come here, pay your respects to your great-grandmaster." "Uncle Master?!" Everyone in Tianbao Pavilion was stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. As the Grand Elder, Xiahou Cenyi's seniority in Tianbao Pavilion is too high to count, but she is actually regarded as the highest existing master of the entire sect by default... When she said this, she either meant that Liu Yuan was her disciple or that Liu Yuan was her junior fellow apprentice. No matter which one it was, it meant that in the blink of an eye, the unknown junior in front of her had become an elder of such a high generation that it was hard to tell where he was. Chapter 231: All confused Above the secret island of Emperor Wu’s Tomb, all the disciples of Tianbao Pavilion were stunned. Other sects, no matter how big or small, were watching the excitement from the sidelines, thinking that this was a serious matter. At the end of this tomb exploration, the news that Jiang Feng, who had been missing for a month, reappeared in Emperor Wu's tomb will inevitably shock the three parties mentioned earlier, Wanjian City, Taiqing Pavilion, and Xuanyin Family, who are caught up in an absurd emotional storm. Coupled with the current incident with Tianbao Pavilion, it is unknown how big a storm will be caused. The original Jiang Feng was just a rising junior who had just appeared in the sight of many forces. Although his many deeds are indeed eye-catching, due to the limitations of his own cultivation level and his status as a casual cultivator, the impression he gives people is at most that of a "junior who is worth training and winning over." Besides, those gossips are of little value in the eyes of the real high-level officials in this fairy world where strength is respected. Another reason is that the identities and status of the women who have been entangled with the character "Jiang Feng" are not too outrageous. The young master Xuanyin, who was first rumored to have appeared, rarely appeared in public, and the aristocratic families rarely participated in power struggles. They all quietly developed their strength in secret and focused on self-protection. Apart from their strong financial resources, they were not placed on an equal footing by the top forces. After all, the bloodline of the aristocratic family is still coveted by others. If everyone was jumping around like crazy, they would have all become slaves long ago. Otherwise, when the young master of the Xuanyin family visited Wanjian City, Jiange would not have just ordered Duan Lanruo to entertain him well and left him alone. The Qinglian Swordsman who was revealed later had just come out of seclusion and was not well-known at the time. As for her identity as the widow of the former Sword Pavilion Master of the Wanjian City Lord, most people did not dare to speculate and kept it a secret. Liu Yuan's Shura scene with these three women was in full view of the public. Although it looked very exciting, it also attracted a lot of attention. In particular, Qingxiefang made a big fuss about this point, and the number of people who subscribed to the current Mingjian Ranking increased dramatically... But in reality, only the younger disciples of various sects felt amazed, while the cultivators with higher status or who were older would at most just laugh it off. And now, Xiahou Cenyi's words have raised his status to a new and unimaginable height - the uncle-master of an influential force in Zhongzhou. "Grand Elder, this... I don't know if he, he is..." Fei Chen said with difficulty, his voice shaking.
He was the elder in charge of a branch of Tianbao Pavilion. His status was higher than that tool elder with whom Liu Yuan had once had a good impression, but in front of Xiahou Cenyi, he had no qualifications to question her decision. ...Or maybe he had just refuted it subconsciously because of shock, and then was hit by a wave of ruthless black history, and begged for mercy in humiliation. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask this newly appeared uncle-master who he was. Xiahou Cenyi's eyes moved and he vaguely glanced at Ling Yao who was looking at this side. With the cultivation level of the Tribulation Crossing Period, Ling Yao's little trick of hiding his appearance was completely exposed.
