Chapter 9

At this moment.

Guo Jing’s name appeared on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Seeing Guo Jing, who was renowned throughout the martial arts world, actually appear on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

A flicker of inexplicable intent flashed through Jiang Jiang Yuyan’s eyes.

She originated from the martial arts world.

Naturally, she knew what kind of person Guo Jing was!

If not for Guo Jing!

Xiangyang City would have been breached by the Mongol Yuan over a decade ago!

Guo Jing, an existence like a white jade pillar of the Great Song!

Although he has high prestige in the Jianghu and is deeply loved by the people!

He is just a commoner, not an official!

Jiang Jiang Yuyan knew that if she wanted to sit firmly as the master of the Southern Song Dynasty after the foolish emperor died, she must have capable generals!

In her view, this Guo Jing was quite good!

Thinking of this.

She immediately whispered in the ear of Emperor Zhao Qi.

"Your Majesty, look, this Hero Guo Jing guards Xiangyang and contributes to the country; he is a great loyal minister and righteous man!"

"If it were before, that would be fine!"

"But now, his name is on the Azure Cloud List!"

"Everyone in the world knows about Guo Jing!"

"If Your Majesty does not reward Guo Jing, I am afraid it will be hard to justify!"

"Your Majesty, you should promote Guo Jing and grant him titles!"

"Let him guard Xiangyang well for Your Majesty!"

"Guard the rivers and mountains of the Great Song!"

How could Zhao Qi care about Guo Jing!

He only had eyes for Jiang Jiang Yuyan!

He waved his hand and said: "Whatever my beloved concubine says to confer, I shall confer!"

"I approve it all!"

Southern Song,

One hundred miles south of Xiangyang City.

There was a deep valley.

In the deep valley.

A one-armed man was swinging on a swing with a fairy-like woman in white.

The one-armed man had delicate features, but there were two strands of white hair at his temples.

It made the man look very weathered.

He did not seem to match the woman in white beside him.

However.

The woman in white’s face was full of happiness.

Suddenly.

Thunderous sounds shook the sky.

Purple thunder rose across the sky.

The one-armed man and the woman in white looked at the changes in the heavenly phenomenon.

In an instant, they looked at each other.

Both saw a hint of surprise in the other’s eyes.

When the Azure Cloud List appeared.

As soon as Zhang Zhang Cuishan made the list.

The one-armed man immediately understood.

"Aunt, this heavenly phenomenon is so strange!"

"In the world, the first person to make this Azure Cloud List, Zhang Zhang Wuxia of the Mount Wudang Sect, is the one with the lowest ranking!"

"Even so, he has the strength of a Grandmaster Eighth Grade!"

"It is almost the same as mine!"

"One can see what kind of powerful figures are behind him on this Azure Cloud List!"

The woman in white nodded slightly and said: "Guo'er, your martial arts are much better than mine now!"

"I am only at Grandmaster Second Grade."

"You are already at Grandmaster Ninth Grade!"

"It seems you have suffered a lot over these years!"

As she spoke, the woman in white raised her hand with a heart-aching expression and brushed the one-armed man’s face.

The one-armed man shook his head, looking at the woman in white affectionately, and said: "Aunt, as long as I can see you, I am willing to suffer any amount of hardship!"

At this moment.

The golden light on the Azure Cloud List erupted, and Guo Jing’s name appeared again.

Seeing Guo Jing make the list.

The one-armed man was immediately surprised.

"Aunt, Aunt!"

"Look, Uncle Guo has made the list!"

"I didn't expect my power to have caught up with Uncle Guo!"

"Eh?"

"No!"

"How can Uncle Guo’s lifespan be only fifty years!"

"This is impossible!"

"Uncle Guo practiced the internal arts of the Quanzhen Sect and later practiced the full version of the "Nine Yin Manual"; both are arts that prolong life!"

"How can he only live to fifty!"

"Could it be because Uncle Guo is guarding Xiangyang?"

"Will he be killed by the Mongol Yuan army?"

The one-armed man looked worried.

These two were none other than Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden.

They had been separated for sixteen years and were just reuniting.

Yang Guo’s mood was originally excellent!

However, when he saw that Guo Jing’s lifespan was only a mere two years left.

His mood immediately sank.

"Long'er, Uncle Guo has great kindness toward me, and Aunt Guo taught me the principles of being a person since I was young; they have been kind to me, and now that Uncle Guo is in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch!"

"I want to go to Xiangyang City to help Uncle Guo!"

Yang Guo looked at Little Dragon Maiden.

Little Dragon Maiden smiled gently, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.

"Guo'er, wherever you go, I will go!"

Southern Song.

Mount Mount Zhongnan.

Quanzhen Sect.

Wang Chongyang Palace.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were looking at the Azure Cloud List in the firmament.

Heavenly phenomenon, the Azure Cloud List appears!

Zhang Zhang Cuishan of the Mount Wudang Sect was the first to make the list!

With the realm of Grandmaster Eighth Grade, he made the Seven Masters of Quanzhen sigh in wonder!

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen!

The Seven Heroes of Mount Wudang!

They had always been objects of comparison for people in the Jianghu!

Although the two sides had never fought!

However, the Quanzhen Sect and the Mount Wudang Sect were both Daoist sects! ===== CHAPTER 37 =====

The Mount Wudang Sect was in its prime in the Great Ming Dynasty!

It had become the leader of the Great Ming martial arts world!

The Quanzhen Sect could also be considered the leader of the Daoist sects in the Southern Song Dynasty!

The Southern Song and the Great Ming were neighbors!

They were often compared by people in the martial arts world!

After comparing for a long time.

Naturally, gossip reached the ears of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Some often said that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were not as good as the Seven Heroes of Mount Wudang!

Wang Wang Chongyang was also not as good as Zhang Zhang Sanfeng!

He had disappeared long ago, and no one knew if he had already passed away!

Only the Seven Masters of Quanzhen knew that their master, Wang Wang Chongyang, had gone into seclusion after returning from the Kingdom of Dali thirty years ago, and had not emerged to this day.

Over these years, the Quanzhen Sect’s influence in the martial arts world was still not as resounding as the Mount Wudang Sect’s!

The hot-tempered Qiu Qiu Chuji was unconvinced!

Over a decade ago, he had climbed Mount Mount Wudang three times!

To discuss swordsmanship with the Seven Heroes of Mount Wudang!

The first time, he sparred with Song Song Yuanqiao, and the two fought to a draw!

The second time, he sparred with Yu Lianzhou, and the two again fought to a draw!

The third time, he sparred with Yin Liting, and the two again fought to a draw!

Even if Qiu Qiu Chuji were foolish, he knew the Seven Heroes of Mount Wudang were saving his face by ending every match in a draw.

Qiu Qiu Chuji could not save face and never went to Mount Mount Wudang to spar again!

Now, seeing that Mount Wudang Sect’s Zhang Zhang Wuxia, Zhang Zhang Cuishan, was already at the eighth-grade Grandmaster level!

His lifespan could reach one hundred and fifty years!

He was much stronger than this old fellow who had been stuck at the first-grade Grandmaster level for many years!

For a moment, Qiu Qiu Chuji could not help but sigh!

Seeing this, the others ignored him.

At this time, Guo Jing made the list!

Guo Jing making the list caused the Seven Masters of Quanzhen to tremble!

Especially Qiu Qiu Chuji, who was immediately overjoyed.

"Haha, Jing'er can also be considered my Quanzhen disciple!"

"Jing'er’s ranking is higher than Zhang Zhang Cuishan’s!"

"It can be considered earning face for my Quanzhen Sect!"

When everyone saw that Guo Jing was already a ninth-grade Grandmaster.

They all exclaimed in wonder.

Ma Yu said, "Jing'er is kind by nature, possesses great wisdom that appears as foolishness, and after years of diligent practice, he is already at the ninth-grade Grandmaster level; he is only one step away from reaching the Great Grandmaster realm!"

"Incredible!"

"He is much stronger than us brothers!"

Qiu Qiu Chuji said with a face full of joy, "Jing'er possesses our Quanzhen internal arts and the Nine Yin Manual; I imagine his lifespan must be higher than that Zhang Zhang Cuishan!"

Just as these words fell.

Qiu Qiu Chuji widened his eyes.

Because he saw that Guo Jing’s lifespan was actually only fifty years!

Qiu Qiu Chuji’s face changed immediately!

"How can this be!"

"Jing'er’s cultivation is profound!"

"He is already a ninth-grade Grandmaster, and stepping into the Great Grandmaster realm is just around the corner!"

"Why is his lifespan only fifty years!"

"Could it be that Jing'er will meet with some accident!"

"No, I must go down the mountain!"

"I must go to Xiangyang City and find Jing'er myself!"
