Chapter 33

It is perfectly normal.

It just depends on whether Ye Ye Gucheng can break through his own inner demons.

Invincibility is a kind of loneliness!

It is also a kind of inner demon.

Thirty years ago, when he passed through the South Sea, the piece of jade he taught the original sword intent to had grown very well.

Ye Ye Gucheng.

Li Li Changsheng preferred to call him Little Ye!

……

Wu Dynasty.

Shendu!

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Garden.

Empress Wu Zhao and Di Di Renjie watched the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

Seeing three top-tier swordsmen appear on the list in succession.

Empress Wu Zhao was also quite interested.

Especially after seeing Ximen Ximen Chuixue and Ye Ye Gucheng.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

"This Ximen Ximen Chuixue and Ye Ye Gucheng are both very formidable."

"One Sword God, one Sword Immortal, both are top-tier figures in the Dao of the sword!"

"Great Ming has a succession of talented people."

"However, what is going on with this Ye Ye Gucheng, actually getting involved in the Prince of Taiping’s rebellion."

"Minister Di, how much do you know about this Ye Ye Gucheng?"

Di Di Renjie bowed: "Your Majesty, of the one hundred and eight named islands in the South Sea, Flying Immortal Island is one of the best."

"Ye Ye Gucheng, the Master of White Cloud City, is famous in the South Sea for his Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens."

"In the secret strategies of the Unofficial Bureau, he can be ranked in the second tier."

Empress Wu Zhao smiled indifferently: "Second tier? Interesting."

"This Azure Cloud Ranking is becoming more and more interesting!"

"Ye Ye Gucheng is a ninth-grade Grandmaster; next, I am afraid there will be powerhouses of the Celestial realm!"

"I wonder if I will make the list?"

Di Di Renjie’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

The Empress has been on the throne for thirty years, her cultivation is divine!

Her power is so high that no one knows what realm she has reached!

But one thing is certain, it is definitely above the Celestial realm!

PS: The second update is delivered. I had too many trivial matters today, so the update is late. Sorry, there are three more updates coming shortly! ===== CHAPTER 80 =====

……

Great Ming.

Capital City.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Wushi watched the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

The two looked at each other and discovered something hidden in the other’s eyes.

However, both were clever enough not to expose it.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was initially curious to see Ye Ye Gucheng on the list.

However, when he saw that Ye Ye Gucheng was actually colluding with the Prince of Taiping!

And participating in the Prince of Taiping’s rebellion plan.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s face was full of displeasure!

He said to Zhu Wushi: "Imperial Uncle!"

"What is going on with this Ye Ye Gucheng!"

"You said you knew everything about the Prince of Taiping’s rebellion plan, so do you know about this Ye Ye Gucheng?"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s voice was very cold!

This coldness was the anger of being the Emperor of Great Ming but unable to control Great Ming.

This coldness was the anger of Great Ming’s Imperial Uncle, Zhu Wushi, not taking him, the Emperor, seriously for his own selfish desires.

Zhu Wushi seemed completely unaware of Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s anger.

He said indifferently: "Your Majesty, Ye Ye Gucheng is indeed an incredibly formidable Sword Immortal."

"He does indeed have dealings with the Prince of Taiping!"

"However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, all of this is under my control!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was furious: "Imperial Uncle!"

"Am I still the Emperor!"

"I want to know the entire plan of the Prince of Taiping’s rebellion!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was so angry.

If this were anyone else, they would have been terrified.

Zhu Wushi said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Taiping’s conspiracy to rebel is actually not a big deal at all!"

"Rest assured, with me here!"

"I will ensure Your Majesty and Great Ming are safe!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s teeth itched with hatred, but he could do nothing about Zhu Wushi.

He just wouldn’t say.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao really had no way to deal with it.

Seeing Zhu Zhu Houzhao so angry, Zhu Wushi secretly thought: "Good nephew, just be content being your little emperor."

"You are still far from being able to play tricks in front of me!"

"I can let you sit on this throne, and I can also make you come down!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao suppressed his anger and said: "Fine!"

"Please do not forget what you just said, Imperial Uncle!"

"Great Ming cannot afford any losses!"

Zhu Wushi said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Great Ming will not suffer any losses!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was so angered by Zhu Wushi that he lost all interest.

Seeing Zhu Wushi made him angry, so he waved his hand and said: "Imperial Uncle, I am tired!"

"You may leave first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi felt happy in his heart and thought: "A callow youth is just a callow youth."

"You are still too green to fight with me!"

The next moment.

Zhu Wushi turned and left, not giving Zhu Zhu Houzhao any face at all.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao watched Zhu Wushi’s departing back, gritting his teeth.

"Imperial Uncle, you are truly my good Imperial Uncle!"

"Just you wait!"

"One day, I will make you regret this!"

……

Great Ming.

Jiangnan.

Inside a restaurant. ===== CHAPTER 81 =====

Lu Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ye Ye Gucheng, who had just appeared on the list, and said with an amazed face: "Wow, wow!"

"It seems Ye Ye Gucheng is really just a tiny bit more formidable than Ximen!"

"Old Hua, do you think Ximen has confidence in a battle with Ye Ye Gucheng?"

Hua Hua Manlou said indifferently: "What kind of person is Ximen Ximen Chuixue!"

"No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he will never lack confidence."

Lu Lu Xiaofeng looked out the window and said: "Ximen just received the Heavenly Dao reward, two sword intents entering his body, truly stunning!"

"But now Ye Ye Gucheng is also on the list!"

"And he also received the sword intent rewarded by the Heavenly Dao!"

"On the fifteenth of the ninth month, at the Peak of the Forbidden City, this peak duel is truly something to look forward to!"

"Old Hua, we should set off too!"

"Ximen has already gone, we cannot fall behind him!"

Hua Hua Manlou laughed: "Good, then let’s set off now!"

……

Outside the city, twenty miles away from this restaurant.

Ximen Ximen Chuixue, in white clothes, stood on a large, leafy tree.

He held his sword and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

Watching Ye Ye Gucheng, who had just appeared on the list.

There was not a ripple on Ximen Ximen Chuixue’s face.

For Ximen Ximen Chuixue.

Ye Ye Gucheng was absolutely a rival worthy of respect.

Ye Ye Gucheng had been famous for many years, even earlier than him!

Moreover, Ye Ye Gucheng’s Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens had been passed down in the Jianghu as miraculous!

To this day, no one has broken it!

Ye Ye Gucheng is very strong!

But this is exactly what he wanted!

Only by fighting such a top-tier powerhouse!

Can one walk further in the Dao of the sword!

……

Great Ming.

Taiping Prince’s Mansion.

Outside the main hall.

The Prince of Taiping and his dog-headed strategist walked out after finishing their discussion.

The two looked at the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

Seeing Ye Ye Gucheng on the list, and also exposed.

The Prince of Taiping said with worry: "Immortal, Ye Ye Gucheng has been exposed by the Heavenly Dao, will he be alright!"

"Will it affect our plan!"

The Taiping Immortal said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Empress Dowager’s birthday, the Peak of the Forbidden City, the peak battle will not change."

"The Emperor has no solid evidence now and cannot take action against Your Highness."

"Therefore, all plans can proceed as usual!"

"This Azure Cloud Ranking did not expose our specific plan. Even if the Emperor knows Your Highness wants to rebel, Your Highness is the Emperor’s Imperial Uncle; without solid evidence, he cannot touch Your Highness!"

The Prince of Taiping felt much more at ease.

"Ye Ye Gucheng, his sword technique is divine; once this news is out, I am afraid more people will pay attention to his peak battle with Ximen Ximen Chuixue!"

The Taiping Immortal laughed: "That is exactly the point!"

At this time.

A golden light streaked across the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament, flashing into the pavilion over there.

On the pavilion, Ye Ye Gucheng, in white clothes, stood high above.

Loneliness, coldness, and desolation were clearly revealed on him.

He looked like an immortal ready to ascend to heaven at any moment!

The name of Flying Immortal is well-deserved!

At this time.

The golden light floated in front of Ye Ye Gucheng.

Ye Ye Gucheng took it with a casual movement.

And took out the object within the golden light.

A sword intent sank into his body.

Poor Heaven Sword Intent!

Exhausting the changes of heaven and earth!

Ye Ye Gucheng stood there, motionless.

But before his eyes, everything was changing!

A moment later.

A soaring sword qi rose from the Prince of Taiping’s mansion.

In an instant.

It was vast and boundless!

Sweeping across heaven and earth!

Shockingly!

Inside the mansion.

The Prince of Taiping and the Taiping Immortal watched the vast sword intent rising into the sky, their faces filled with astonishment.

The Prince of Taiping said excitedly: "This is the Sword Immortal!"

"This is the Sword Immortal!"

A look of inexplicable meaning flashed in the Taiping Immortal’s eyes.

"White Cloud Sword Immortal, truly as fleeting as a cloud, impossible to grasp!"
