Chapter 530

Number one in the world?!

Is it real or fake?!

The surrounding maidservants curled their lips, somewhat disbelieving.

After all, it was common knowledge that Wang Xianzhi of Martial Emperor City only dared to claim to be second in the world!

Furthermore, since a true number one in the world had never appeared, they naturally did not believe Nangong Puye's words.

"Number one in the world?! Hah!"

Above the Listening Tide Pavilion, Li Yishan naturally heard the Young Master Xu's exclamation. He was slightly stunned, then frowned, but did not speak.

On the third floor of the Listening Tide Pavilion, a Daoist expert, moved by the situation, rose to his full height and walked to the edge of the window.

This Daoist expert, named Wei Shuyang, was a patriarch of the Daoist Nine-Peck Rice Sect. Although he was only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Man Realm, he was proficient in Qi Men Dun Jia.

The reason he was willing to enter the pavilion as a slave and servant was said to be to comprehend a rare volume in the Listening Tide Pavilion, the "Cantong Qi."

But whether it was true or false, no one knew.

Below the Listening Tide Pavilion, a short, skin-and-bones old man with a severed arm heard this, couldn't help but pick his nose, turned over, and gave a disdainful smile, not taking it to heart.

Not far from the Listening Tide Pavilion, on a White Crane Tower, a tall figure appeared. He sat on a chair, plain and simple, yet possessed an unquestionable supreme majesty.

This tall figure was none other than the Prince of Northern Liang, Xu Xiao!

"Heh! Now... does everyone dare to claim to be number one in the world?!"

"Even Wang Xianzhi doesn't have such a big mouth."

The Prince of Northern Liang picked up a red clay teapot and poured a cup of Green Ant Wine. Regarding Xu Fengnian's exclamation, he only smiled, but deep in his eyes, he clearly did not believe Nangong Puye's words.

"Wait! Him?!"

"This 'him'... is it the 'him' you just mentioned you wanted to catch up to?!"

The Young Master Xu reacted quickly, keenly sensing that when Nangong Puye spoke of 'him', her heart and mind were surging, far from calm.

"Who is this 'him'?!"

Thinking of this, the Young Master Xu became even more curious about the identity of 'him'. He looked at Nangong and asked impatiently.

Nangong did not answer; she picked up the rare book in her hand and began reading again.

"Heh! You won't say... what does this mean?!"

"I know!"

"You must be talking nonsense!"

"The so-called number one in the world is just something you made up! Isn't it?!"

The Young Master Xu looked enlightened, as if trying to goad Nangong Puye into revealing the person's name.

But Nangong remained indifferent, her expression unchanged, and she said coldly, "If you say it's made up, then it's made up!"

"Nangong! You this..."

The Young Master Xu realized his goading was useless and couldn't help but feel both discouraged and unwilling.

Boom!

Just then, on the flat surface of the lake, one bubble after another emerged. At first just a few, but in an instant, it began to boil as if it had been cooked. Surging heat waves spread in all directions.

Splash!

The heat wave rushed into the sky, turning into heavy rain that fell down. The bead-like raindrops hit the Young Master Xu's head hard, making him rub it with his hands, tears even welling up in his eyes.

Although somewhat disheveled, the Young Master Xu didn't care; instead, he watched the lake with great interest.

He had long known that there was a peerless expert at the bottom of the lake.

When he fell into the water as a child, he had seen this old monster at the bottom of the lake, but the other party hadn't harmed him, instead sending him to the shore.

And ever since then, the Young Master Xu would occasionally throw some roasted chicken and meat into the lake.

Through this back and forth, the two sides could be considered to have some friendship.

The Young Master Xu was even looking forward to the appearance of the old monster at the bottom of the lake, hoping to recruit him to work for him.

Swish! Swish!

Just then, two pitch-black chains broke out of the water in the lake, like dragons emerging from the sea, with majestic momentum that shook the long sky.

"Audacious!"

Above the third floor, Wei Shuyang saw this scene and let out a long shout, shooting into the lake like an arrow from a bowstring.

He was in Daoist robes, his hair and beard white, elegant and dashing, like a Daoist True Person.

Wei Shuyang waved his large sleeves, sweeping up two water columns that turned into two water dragons, heading straight to the bottom of the lake.

"What a great Grandpa Wei!"

"Actually so fierce?!"

"If I had known, I should have brought Grandpa Wei along to travel the world!"

"That way, I wouldn't have been chased in a disheveled state by bandits and outlaws."

Xu Fengnian shouted, clicking his tongue slightly, unable to help but praise him.

The old monster at the bottom of the lake remained expressionless. The chains moved through the void, circling around and shattering the two water dragons. With a splash, a large spray of water fell like heavy rain from the sky.

Bang!

Following that, the two chains headed straight for Wei Shuyang, slashing down from the sky.

Wei Shuyang blocked horizontally, but couldn't stop it at all; he was directly struck down and fell into the lake, his life or death unknown.

"Hmph!"

"Number one in the world?!"

"Who is number one in the world?!"

"Have you asked me?!"

The old monster at the bottom of the lake shouted, his aura soaring into the sky, scorching and vast, making even the void tremble slightly.

"Hiss!"

"Such a fierce Grandpa Wei, and he wasn't even a match for one move from this old monster?!"

The Young Master Xu gasped, unable to help but glance at Nangong Puye, and said unconsciously, "Nangong! In my opinion, this old monster at the bottom of the lake is the number one in the world, right?!"

"Is that 'him' you mentioned... as powerful as this old monster at the bottom of the lake?!"

Nangong Puye, facing such a vast scene, remained calm and composed. A faint halo of light enveloped her body, blocking the layers of water waves outside.

"Not worth a single blow!"

Hearing the Young Master Xu's words, Nangong Puye spat out four words lightly.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I knew it... wait!"

"Who are you saying... is not worth a single blow?!"

The Young Master Xu was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly realized.

Clearly, the "not worth a single blow" Nangong Puye spoke of was definitely not that "him", but... the old monster at the bottom of the lake!

An opponent as powerful as the old monster at the bottom of the lake, not worth a single blow?!

Really... fake?!

The Young Master Xu didn't quite believe Nangong Puye's words, but seeing Nangong so full of confidence, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Number one in the world?!"

"I don't know who is number one in the world!"

"But the old monster at the bottom of the lake... is definitely not!"

Just then, a comical voice came.

Hearing such a familiar tone, the Young Master Xu couldn't help but look over.

An old man with a cunning smile on his face opened his mouth slightly, revealing yellow teeth missing two front teeth, which was particularly funny.

This was Huang Zhentu, but in the martial arts world, he was known as Sword Nine Huang!

And the Young Master Xu generally called him Old Huang!

"Old Huang?!"

"What are you coming to join the fun for?!"

Seeing Old Huang, the Young Master Xu couldn't help but be startled and shouted loudly.

He knew Old Huang was just a groom with no strength to truss a chicken. During their travels, this Old Huang was even more afraid of death than himself, always abandoning him to flee for his life.

If it weren't for the fact that this Old Huang knew some petty tricks like stealing chickens and dogs, climbing trees to dig out bird eggs, and going into rivers to catch fish, the Young Master Xu would have doubted whether Old Huang was serving him or he was serving Old Huang.

"Young Master, don't worry!"

"I've come to beat this old monster slave back into the water!" ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
