Chapter 68

His tone carried strong anticipation.

The current Great Han was tottering, the country in the worst situation among the Central Plains nations of the Nine Provinces.

The powerful families controlled the imperial court and all parts of the Great Han.

The Jianghu forces on the surface were all secretly controlled by these families.

Those hidden forces did not even appear.

This led to two consecutive lists, and the Great Han did not even have a single person on the list.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, once someone from our Great Han makes it onto the list and obtains a magical elixir."

"This servant will definitely bring the elixir to honor you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang said with a smile.

His current power all came from the Emperor.

He naturally did not want the Emperor to die.

"Let Father has heart."

"Continue to send people to search for those hidden Jianghu forces."

"As long as they are willing to join the imperial court, I can agree to any conditions."

Liu Hong said with a firm tone.

He also knew the current situation of the Great Han.

He also wanted to sweep away all the various drawbacks of the Great Han.

However, those families were already deeply rooted, and their power was truly too vast.

Even if he were the Emperor, he did not dare to take action easily.

Gradually, Liu Hong’s fighting spirit and ideals were all worn away.

In the end, he fell into the state of only knowing how to spend his days in debauchery.

"Obey the decree!"

Great Ming, Mount Mount Wudang.

Since being rejected by Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, Song Song Qingshu still would not give up.

He practiced desperately, thinking that one day he could gain Zhou Zhou Zhiruo’s favor.

"Junior Sister Zhou Zhiruo, one day I will surpass the person you mentioned; I will let you know that I am the most excellent, and I am the only one most suitable for you!"

Song Song Qingshu muttered these words while practicing his sword.

The next moment.

Lines of text appeared on the Heaven’s Pride List in the firmament.

[The Nine Provinces Heaven’s Pride List, from tenth to first, is officially opened!]

[Martial artists under the age of thirty can all enter the list based on strength, talent, and destiny!]

[Heaven’s Pride List · Tenth Place!]

[Zhou Zhou Zhiruo!]

[Identity: Female disciple of the Mount Emei Sect!]

[Realm: Late-stage Grandmaster!]

[Techniques: Heart Sword Divine Art, Bodhi Certification Divine Art.]

[Reward: Heaven-grade high-tier elixir: Bodhi Divine Sword Elixir, after taking it, one’s constitution can transform into the Glazed Bodhi Divine Sword Constitution.]

"Late-stage Grandmaster!"

Song Song Qingshu looked at Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, who was on the list, in disbelief.

Originally, he thought Zhou Zhou Zhiruo had just entered the Grandmaster realm.

Relying on the rewards of the list, he could also become a Grandmaster sooner or later, and then he could stand before Zhou Zhou Zhiruo.

But he never expected that Zhou Zhou Zhiruo not only made it onto the list but was also a late-stage Grandmaster.

In this way, the gap between the two of them would only get wider and wider.

Song Song Qingshu felt very desperate!

He had long ago asked his father to talk to Abbess Miejue of the Mount Emei Sect about the marriage proposal.

Abbess Miejue had also agreed.

He only needed to become a Grandmaster, and Song Song Qingshu’s dream could come true.

Now, everything had come to nothing!

Song Song Qingshu’s mentality collapsed, and the internal energy in his body ran wild uncontrollably.

Intense pain swept through his whole body.

He lay on the ground and began to cry out in pain.

Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, who had already left Mount Emei, looked at the name on the list and the elixir in her hand, stunned.

She hadn't expected that she could also make it onto the list.

"Now, he should know that I made it onto the list, but I don't know if he will come to find me."

Zhou Zhou Zhiruo murmured.

She was no longer a disciple of the Mount Emei Sect.

Since returning from Mount Mount Wudang last time, her master had been counseling her every few days.

Wanting her to marry Song Song Qingshu.

Zhou Zhou Zhiruo knew this must have been Song Song Qingshu persuading his father, Song Song Yuanqiao.

Added to the fact that Abbess Miejue was determined to strengthen the relationship between Mount Emei and Mount Wudang, she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity in vain, so she agreed.

After Zhou Zhou Zhiruo refused several times, Abbess Miejue not only did not care about her disciple’s feelings but instead had a very firm and strong attitude, forcing Zhou Zhou Zhiruo to make a decision between marrying Song Song Qingshu and leaving Mount Emei.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo knew her master was determined.

So she chose to leave the Mount Emei Sect.

At this moment, in the Mount Emei Sect hall, because of Zhou Zhou Zhiruo’s departure, Abbess Miejue was furious.

The disciple she liked most was Zhou Zhou Zhiruo.

She personally taught Zhou Zhou Zhiruo moves and personally raised Zhou Zhou Zhiruo.

She treated Zhou Zhou Zhiruo like her own daughter.

But when she needed Zhou Zhou Zhiruo to make a sacrifice for the Mount Emei Sect the most, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo refused.

This was something Abbess Miejue could not accept.

"Master, don't be angry anymore."

"For that rebellious disciple, you are damaging your health."

Seeing this, Ding Ding Minjun hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Abbess Miejue.

Zhou Zhou Zhiruo leaving Mount Emei, the happiest person was Ding Ding Minjun; she usually found Zhou Zhou Zhiruo very unpleasant.

Clearly, they were both the master’s disciples, so why did the master take extra care of Zhou Zhou Zhiruo? She, Ding Ding Minjun, was not bad either!

Now it was good; without Zhou Zhou Zhiruo, she, Ding Ding Minjun, could become the master’s most beloved disciple.

Thinking of the good days ahead, Ding Ding Minjun was happy in her heart.

If the occasion hadn't been wrong, she could have laughed out loud.

Just at this moment, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo’s name appeared on the Heaven’s Pride List.

Seeing this, Abbess Miejue immediately stood up from her chair, unable to believe the scene before her eyes.

"Is the name written above your Junior Sister Zhou Zhiruo’s name?"

Abbess Miejue asked hurriedly.

Starting from the next chapter, each chapter will have at least four thousand words, so the updates might be a bit slow!
