Chapter 420: February 13th

February 13th.

More than a month has passed since this year's first Grand Court Assembly.

Lanling City and its surrounding areas have also experienced over a month of continuous heavy snow, which is not common in previous years.

Because it is located in the capital region, the imperial court's various welfare and support efforts are substantial, so no major problems have emerged.

However, the sustained low temperatures combined with the heavy snow have already caused large-scale snow disasters in several provinces!

Roads are blocked, livestock have frozen to death, and houses have collapsed under the weight of the heavy snow.

Although the central government quickly ordered all regions to provide personnel and resources for rapid disaster relief, many remote areas lack railways, and normal roads are blocked by the heavy snow, so relief work has been slow to unfold.

Luo Province, Fuhua Prefecture.

Kangjia Town, located more than three hundred li away from Jiaxi City.

It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and after the heavy snow sealed the mountains, the only few access routes were also frozen by the ice and snow.

Telephone lines have also been damaged, and the entire town has been cut off from the outside world for nearly a week.

The charcoal and firewood used by the townspeople for heating at home are almost exhausted, and some people have already frozen to death!

In the most luxurious three-story small pavilion in Kangjia Town, Town Mayor Yu Ming sat in his study with a grave expression.

There is a stove in the study, warming the entire room.

Yu Ming joined the army when he was young and became a Body-Breaking realm martial artist. After performing meritorious service on the battlefield and retiring, he spent money to find connections and eventually secured this official position as town mayor for himself.

His household has sufficient supplies for the winter, and with his martial artist physique, he would not die even if everyone in the town froze to death.

But at this very moment, sitting in the warm study, Yu Ming's heart felt extremely cold.

"When did this thing start appearing?"

He held a flyer in his hand and asked the person sitting opposite him.

"Old Zhang from the station came to my house yesterday and said that someone knocked on his nephew's door a few days ago and gave this thing to his nephew."

Kang Changyu's face was also crumpled into a ball; he scratched his messy hair and spoke.

He is a local of Kangjia Town and the director of the town's Inspection Station.

The town level is different from the 'City, Prefecture, and Province' levels above it; it does not have a complete set of six academies. Apart from the town mayor and some officials belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is only one Inspection Station, with about twenty inspectors maintaining the town's public order.

Therefore, the two people sitting in the study now are the two people with the highest official rank and power in Kangjia Town.

But both of them now hate that their official ranks are too low and their abilities too small, as they have no idea how to handle the situation at hand.

The content written on the flyer Yu Ming held in his hand could be called treasonous!

It is said that great disasters are always accompanied by evil spirits, meaning that during times of disaster, many evil sects will take the opportunity to emerge and win over people's hearts.

Yu Ming and Kang Changyu had seen similar things in the past, and had even personally wiped out some evil sect members.

But the current flyer cannot be summarized by a simple evil sect.

The content on the flyer is written simply and directly in plain language, mainly stating three things:

First, corrupt officials are everywhere in the Great Lan Dynasty, and the winter supplies issued by the imperial court to the common people have almost all been embezzled.

Second, the imperial court is whitewashing the peace; millions of people died in Ming Province last year! The northern border is also at war, and the war is going poorly.

Third, the foolish emperor is devoid of the Dao, and the imperial court has lost its virtue, thereby inciting heavenly punishment. This snow disaster is heavenly punishment, proving that the Great Lan Dynasty's fate is coming to an end!

Otherwise, why has it snowed every year for so many years without incident, yet this year there is such a severe snow disaster?

These three points, progressing layer by layer, are equivalent to saying that the Great Lan Dynasty has problems from top to bottom!

At the end of the flyer, a spell was written, roughly meaning to curse corrupt officials, curse incompetent ministers, curse the foolish emperor, and finally curse this decaying nation!

The revelations on the flyer and the final curses made both Yu Ming and Kang Changyu feel terrified.

In the past, those evil sects at most made people believe in some evil god to obtain spiritual comfort and the like.

But this unknown organization that has emerged this time directly makes people curse officials, curse the imperial court, even curse the monarch, and curse the entire Great Lan Dynasty!

"Old Zhang's nephew said that the person distributing the flyers told them that as long as they sincerely recite this final spell, they will not fear the severe cold."

Kang Changyu said.

Yu Ming was shocked: "Have you tried it?"

Kang Changyu shook his head hurriedly: "How would I dare!"

Yu Ming looked at him: "What about Old Zhang's nephew?"

Kang Changyu hesitated for a moment and said: "Old Zhang's nephew didn't dare to try it at first, but his wife was so cold she couldn't stand it, so she tried reciting this spell, and as a result... as a result, it really wasn't as cold anymore."

"Damn it!"

Yu Ming couldn't help but curse.

"Town Mayor, you have traveled far and wide and are knowledgeable; can reciting a few spells really work? Old Zhang's nephew's wife is just an ordinary person."

Kang Changyu asked doubtfully.

Yu Ming took out a cigarette, and Kang Changyu hurriedly lit it for him.

Yu Ming's eyes were deep, and he said slowly:

"Back when we were fighting in the deserts in the south, the temperature difference between day and night was huge; it was hot like a steamer during the day and cold like an ice cellar at night.

Once, our squad encountered a group of our own corpses at night; they were all mummified, like those that had been roasted by a big fire for days and nights. But the problem was that the temperature at the time was very low, there were no traces of fire around, and even the clothes on these corpses were intact and, damn it, covered in frost."

"Ah?"

Kang Changyu listened with his mouth wide open, "Then how was this done?"

Yu Ming: "At that time, our squad leader said that this was witchcraft performed by the sorcerers of the desert nations in the south; their sorcerers are our occultists, and they used a type of spell."

Kang Changyu frowned: "Is this spell so powerful? Aren't they all just little tricks to bewitch people? The evil sect occultists we've caught before didn't seem that powerful."

Yu Ming shook his head: "You don't understand; spells can affect a person's spirit. Some spells can only bewitch people, while others can influence a person's body through the spirit. For example, those mummified corpses we saw back then—they burned themselves to death!"

"Burned themselves to death?"

Kang Changyu listened, feeling his hair stand on end, completely unable to understand how this was done.

Yu Ming's expression was grave: "In short, some spells are very strange; the spell written on this flyer might really be able to make a person's body heat up, thereby resisting the cold."

"Then what should we do?"

Kang Changyu asked.

In this kind of hellish weather that can freeze people to death, communications are cut off, and the imperial court's relief is slow to arrive. If the spell on the flyer can really help people resist the cold, the vast majority of people won't care who the spell is cursing!

Although the literacy rate in Kangjia Town is not high, it doesn't stop others from directly teaching people how to recite the spell.

The content of these spells is straightforward and easy to remember.

"Immediately organize personnel to search house by house; this kind of thing cannot be left behind. Once it spreads, we might all lose our heads in the future!"

Yu Ming gritted his teeth and said.

"Then how do we solve the problem of resisting the cold?"

Kang Changyu knew that searching for flyers could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

"Mobilize the wealthy families in the town to distribute supplies, starting with your house and mine!"

Yu Ming made a prompt decision, choosing to spend money to avert disaster.

"Okay."

Kang Changyu also knew the severity of the situation; although his heart ached, he decided to cooperate.

Boom—

A muffled sound suddenly came from downstairs.

The two people in the study were startled and stood up quickly.

Kang Changyu immediately took out his service pistol from the holster at his waist and walked to the study door, listening to the movement outside.

Yu Ming glanced at the battle saber hanging on the wall; that was the weapon he brought back when he retired from the border army.

In the end, he did not take down the battle saber on the wall, but instead took a revolver out of the drawer.

Having been away from the battlefield for many years, he was no longer the soldier who dared to fight.

Even if he was a Body-Breaking realm martial artist, he trusted the pistol in his hand more.

The two looked at each other, opened the study door, and looked outside.

On this day, Kangjia Town was still suffering from the ravages of wind and snow.

The Inspection Station took no action, and the town mayor's house did not distribute supplies to the public.

Under the shroud of ice and snow, seven provinces of the Great Lan Dynasty had suffered snow disasters, affecting millions of people!

What happened in Kangjia Town was also happening in many other places at the same time.

Lanling City.

Jingan Hou Fu.

The mansion finally was no longer just Li Fei alone; now there were more than a dozen maids and servants, as well as a butler and guards.

These people were all arranged for Li Fei by Lu Wenxing, and they were all trustworthy.

Li Fei pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

The snow was still falling, but compared to last month, it had lessened significantly, and the temperature was gradually warming up.

Ordinary people might think the weather was gradually improving, but only those proficient in spells could perceive that there was a grand spell power in the sky, affecting the wind and snow of the entire city!

Li Fei speculated that this was a grand formation shrouding Lanling City at work.

This grand formation might have been constructed by the imperial court after the Western Allied Forces arrived at the city gates, with the purpose of preventing Lanling City from being bombed again.

It's just that now this grand formation was not used to resist Western bombers, but was used to resist the wind and snow first.

"Marquis."

A voice came.

Li Fei turned around to look, and Lu Wenxing walked towards this side.

"Old Lu, is there anything?"

Now Li Fei's address for Lu Wenxing had changed from 'Lord Lu' to 'Old Lu'.

"Chi Chengyu's case has been judged!"

Lu Wenxing got straight to the point.

"Oh? How was it judged?"

"Forming cliques for private interests, corruption and bribery, suppressing colleagues—Chi Chengyu admitted to all these charges. But he refused to admit to the murder of Su Xuesong's only son, Su Yifei, no matter what. Currently, there is no solid evidence to prove that Su Yifei was killed by people he sent."

"Actually, I think Su Xuesong might not necessarily believe that his son was killed by Chi Chengyu; he just needed a target to vent his anger on."

"The Marquis has keen insight."

"What about the collusion between the Rushi Society and the Xintian Society?"

"Chi Chengyu admitted to this too, but only said it was doing business in partnership with others, and he knew nothing about any Xintian Society."

"Hmm, how was it finally judged?"

"Chi Chengyu was removed from his post, lost his cabinet official position, and was sent to the northern border to fight, to make up for his crimes with meritorious service."

Lu Wenxing said.

Chi Chengyu was, after all, a Martial Dao Master, and the crimes he admitted to were not too serious, so he certainly would not be severely punished.

It just so happened that the war on the northern border had not ceased, so sending him to the northern border to make up for his crimes with meritorious service might give him a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Li Fei was not interested in the judgment result of Chi Chengyu; he only wanted to know if, relying on this case, they could dig deeper into the clues of the Xintian Society, thereby closing the Tiantan assassination case.

"Accompany me to the Inspection Cabinet."

Li Fei said to Lu Wenxing.

"Okay."

Lu Wenxing turned to go to the garage to prepare to drive.

Soon, a car drove out of the Jingan Hou Fu.

"Marquis, the time for the first national referendum of the Lanxun Cabinet is set for the 1st of next month."

In the car, Lu Wenxing said to Li Fei while driving:

"On the Feng Province side, your application has already been approved, and you can participate in the referendum as a reserve cabinet member. Besides that, Feng Province has two other reserve cabinet members, namely He Zhuoran and Miao Lang.

He Zhuoran is the Sect Master of the Lingyun Gate in Yunxi Prefecture, and Miao Lang is a guest elder of the Lu family."

The matter of the Lanxun Cabinet was officially passed at the Grand Court Assembly on February 1st.

In the period that followed, the imperial court sent invitation letters to all people and forces in the twenty-three provinces that met the requirements, inviting them to join the Lanxun Cabinet.

As long as one possesses the cultivation of the Dao Foundation Establishment or Possession stage, one can become a consultant of the Lanxun Cabinet after passing the assessment.

As long as one possesses the cultivation of a Martial Dao Master or True Person, one can become a reserve cabinet member of the Lanxun Cabinet after passing the assessment.

The so-called assessment is actually the recognition of the imperial court.

The Lanxun Cabinet does not restrict official positions, so whether it is a Jianghu person or an imperial court official, as long as they pass the assessment, they can join the Lanxun Cabinet.

The only 'unspoken rule': temporarily not accepting the joining of Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons.

Although it was not brought to the surface, the forces that should know about this 'unspoken rule' now know it; the highest cultivation of Lanxun Cabinet members is limited to the Martial Dao Master or True Person level.

This rule is actually to take care of those non-top-tier forces.

Apart from the top-tier forces like the two families of Buddha and Dao, the one building and one cabinet, the three mountains and four sects, and the seven great families, other forces simply do not have the combat power at the Grandmaster or top-tier True Person level.

If not restricted, the balance of the Lanxun Cabinet would be difficult to maintain.

Under these circumstances, the reserve cabinet members participating in the referendum in the twenty-three provinces are all Martial Dao Masters or True Persons.

Only Li Fei is an exception.

But this Jingan Marquis is world-renowned; as the first Dao Foundation Establishment stage in history, he killed a dual-supernatural Martial Dao Master and publicly defeated a Martial Dao Master, so no one would question that he is not qualified to participate in this referendum.

It's just that not many people think he can be elected.

"The information I have gathered so far is that Yunxi Prefecture has 17 Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists and 6 Possession stage Great Occultists who have become consultants.

Qingli Prefecture has 22 Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists and 6 Possession stage Great Occultists who have become consultants.

Datong Prefecture has 51 Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists and 10 Possession stage Great Occultists who have become consultants.

The provincial capital of Feng Province has 34 Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists and 17 Possession stage Great Occultists who have become consultants."

Lu Wenxing informed Li Fei of the detailed data he had gathered.

The key to the referendum lies in the number of votes; only Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists and Possession stage Great Occultists can become consultants and have the right to vote.

Li Fei calculated silently:

Because Datong Prefecture has the Wuan University, the number of Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists is more than the other two prefectures combined.

A large part of these Dao Foundation Establishment martial artists are professors at the Martial University.

As for the rest, some are people from the Datong Prefecture government, and some are Jianghu people.

With these 51 votes, plus the 10 votes from the various local Law Courts and the Datong Prefecture Law General Court, Li Fei can get at least 50 votes!

Then he calculated the number of votes on the Lu family's side again.

The Lu family's ancestral home is in Qingli Prefecture, so this prefecture area is almost the Lu family's 'vote bank'.

Qingli Prefecture has a total of 28 votes, and the Lu family should be able to get them all.

The provincial capital has a total of 51 votes, most of which are people from Hongyi University and the Lu family; the Lu family should be able to get at least 40 votes.

Calculating this way, the number of votes for that guest elder of the Lu family will not be lower than 68!

That is to say, even if Li Fei gets all the votes in Datong Prefecture, he still cannot compare to the Lu family.

"The key lies in the 23 votes in Yunxi Prefecture; if we can win them over, there is still a chance."

Li Fei pondered secretly in his heart.

Yunxi Prefecture also sent a representative, who is He Zhuoran, the Sect Master of Lingyun Gate.

Although the other party knows that he will definitely not be elected as a cabinet member, he will inevitably take away a portion of the votes in Yunxi Prefecture.

Because according to the newly introduced referendum rules, reserve cabinet members who are not elected must obtain more than 10 votes during the referendum.

Otherwise, they will lose their qualification as reserve cabinet members.

The various powers of reserve cabinet members are greater than those of consultants, and they are qualified to continue running for cabinet members in the coming year, so there will be at least a dozen votes in Yunxi Prefecture for He Zhuoran.

This rule is to prevent some forces from sending more than one person to become reserve cabinet members.

With this rule, if one wants to have more reserve cabinet members, one must distribute a portion of the votes.

In that case, running for cabinet member oneself might not be a sure thing.

"The neutral votes I can win over are only about a dozen."

Li Fei calculated silently and found that he wanted to win over the Lu family in this referendum.

The difficulty was too great.

"I have already contacted the Hou Fu and the Garrison Commander Bian Jingru."

Lu Wenxing said to Li Fei, "Let them find a way to win more votes for the Marquis."

Li Fei nodded: "If there is anything I need to do, tell me in time."

While the two were talking, the car drove to the headquarters of the Inspection Cabinet.

Li Fei got out of the car and walked in with Lu Wenxing.

More than an hour later, the two came out from inside, got in the car, and left.

Li Fei came to find He Jian to talk about the Rushi Society case; the case was just closed today, and this master detective had already obtained many clues and ideas for solving the case through Chi Chengyu's confession.

If everything goes smoothly next, the Tiantan assassination case can also be closed.

In this way, Li Fei, this Lanxun Special Envoy, can finally be considered to have no other errands, and can focus on restarting Shangguan Xiao's case.

With a good mood, Li Fei took the car back to his own mansion.

When the car drove outside the gate of the Hou Fu, he saw a somewhat familiar figure through the car window.

"Stop the car."

Li Fei said.

"Marquis?"

Lu Wenxing turned his head to look at him.

"I saw an acquaintance; I'll get out of the car and ask."

Li Fei said while opening the car door.

Outside the gate of the Hou Fu, in the snow, a young man wearing a Daoist robe carried a long sword on his back, standing like a green pine.

The young Daoist had plain features, but his pair of eyebrows and eyes were like a sharp sword unsheathed, making people unforgettable upon seeing them.

"Brother Ning?"

Li Fei came to this person and said.

The person who came was none other than the current second place on the overall Fengyun list, Ning Chuan!

Ning Chuan cupped his hands and saluted Li Fei:

"I have met the Jingan Marquis."

Li Fei raised his hand: "Brother Ning, no need to be polite; are you here to find me?"

Ning Chuan nodded and said word by word:

"I am here to challenge you."

Li Fei was stunned; he didn't expect this answer.

"I know I am not your match."

Ning Chuan said very frankly.

He is a very proud person; among the several peerless geniuses written about in the "Tianjiao Lun", he is the proudest one.

But this pride was gradually buried as the changes in the Daluo Sect occurred.

This time, walking the Jianghu after descending the mountain, Ning Chuan was to regain his pride.

Or rather, to regain the pride of the Daluo Sect!

"I arrived in Lanling City ten days ago, but I didn't come to the mansion to find you immediately."

Ning Chuan explained very seriously to Li Fei, "I spent ten days polishing my state of mind and accumulating my sword intent. For this battle, I have prepared for ten days in advance.

I am certainly not your match, but this battle will definitely not make you feel bored."

After speaking, he cupped his hands and saluted Li Fei again:

"Please fulfill this!"

For a proud person like him, to say such words is actually not easy.

Just as Li Fei intended to nod, a voice suddenly came:

"I have prepared for even longer; why don't Daoist Ning fulfill me first."

Li Fei turned his head to look and saw a flash of blue gauze come into view.

Agile and flawless, like a white crane falling from the clouds, standing in the snow.

Li Fei also recognized the person who came: the eldest daughter of the Lan family—Lan Ruoyun.

Lan Ruoyun stepped towards this side.

She had a smile on her face and first cupped her hands to salute Li Fei: "I have met the Jingan Marquis; sorry to disturb the two of you in your duel."

Li Fei: "No matter, I hadn't agreed to Brother Ning yet anyway."

Ning Chuan frowned slightly and looked at Lan Ruoyun:

"What does Eldest Miss Lan mean?"

Lan Ruoyun saluted him:

"Daoist Ning, I benefited a lot from the battle with you before. After losing to you, I pondered for a long time, felt unconvinced in my heart, and want to fight you again!"

Previously, Ning Chuan took the initiative to find her and won the battle, thereby directly boarding the overall Fengyun list, ranking second, leaving Lan Ruoyun in third.

Now Lan Ruoyun wants to compare again.

Ning Chuan felt dissatisfied.

It's not that he didn't dare to compete with Lan Ruoyun, but for today's battle, he had prepared for a long time and really didn't want to use the moves and sword intent he had carefully prepared on someone else.

In his heart, within the Dao Foundation realm, apart from Li Fei, no one is qualified to receive this next sword of his!

A sword intent suddenly bloomed from Lan Ruoyun's body.

This sword intent was ethereal and unpredictable, like white clouds in the sky, and like flowing water on the ground, agile and free.

"Lan Yin Xu Guo?"

Li Fei immediately recalled the Dao strength Lan Ruoyun used on him back then.

That is the supreme unique skill of the Lan family, originally a Dao strength at the Creation level!

Judging from the sword intent Lan Ruoyun bloomed at this time, the other party's mastery of 【Lan Yin Xu Guo】 was significantly stronger, having reached the Ruyi level.

That is to say, Lan Ruoyun also practiced a Dao strength at the Ruyi level with the cultivation of the Dao Foundation Establishment stage!

Perceiving this sword intent, Ning Chuan's expression softened slightly.

He nodded to Lan Ruoyun: "Okay, then let's compare again."

The 【Lan Yin Xu Guo】 at the Ruyi level is indeed qualified to receive his sword.

Soon, only the two remained standing opposite each other on the long street.

Li Fei and Lu Wenxing both stood at the gate of the Hou Fu to watch the battle.

"Who does the Marquis think will win?"

Lu Wenxing used force transmission and asked curiously.

Li Fei also replied via transmission: "I can't guess either."

In his view, the current Ning Chuan and Lan Ruoyun have already stood at the very peak of the Dao Foundation Establishment stage, no worse than Shentu Yue and Yan Dongchen who had not yet broken through the realm back then.

To determine the winner, it depends on the performance of both sides on the spot, as well as their respective inheritances and the strength of their Dao Foundations.

Ning Chuan bears the world-renowned Dao Foundation 【Wan Lei Si Ming】, which is clearly stronger than Lan Ruoyun's in terms of Dao Foundation.

But the 【Lan Yin Xu Guo】 mastered by Lan Ruoyun is a Dao strength at the Creation level; even if it can only exert the power of the Ruyi level at present, it is stronger than the Ruyi level Dao strength mastered by Ning Chuan.

So both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the winner is unknown.

"It's starting."

Li Fei suddenly said.

Lightning suddenly burst out in the snow, followed by howling strong winds also carrying lightning.

Snow melted into water, and lightning was born in the water.

A sea of fire shrouded the sky above the long street, and lightning was also born in the fire.

Lightning of the earth, lightning of the wind, lightning of the water, lightning of the fire!

【Wan Lei Si Ming】, turning all things into thunder and lightning!

A world of thunder and lightning was generated, shrouding the long street and also trapping Lan Ruoyun within it.

The heavy pressure brought by the entire heaven and earth crushed towards Lan Ruoyun; she was like a lonely cloud crane in the sky, soaring in heaven and earth, avoiding bolts of lightning with an elegant posture.

But as the thunder and lightning heaven and earth continued to shrink, the space left for Lan Ruoyun to dodge became smaller and smaller.

In Lu Wenxing's eyes, he could only see dazzling lightning and a blue figure flashing by from time to time.

At a certain moment, the thunder and lightning heaven and earth were compressed to the extreme.

Ning Chuan drew his sword, and only that brilliant sword light remained between heaven and earth!

Lu Wenxing opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see clearly.

But Li Fei chose to close his eyes.

In his perception, Ning Chuan condensed the entire thunder and lightning heaven and earth onto his own sword!

This sword is both a heaven and earth condensed into a bolt of lightning, and a bolt of lightning turning into a new heaven.

One life produces all things.

All things return to one.

This sword of Ning Chuan is almost about to touch the Xuanjing level!

This is the confidence he has to challenge Li Fei!

When the sword light was about to hit Lan Ruoyun, this beautiful woman finally drew her sword too.

Ning Chuan, relying on the improvement brought by the original heaven sacrifice ceremony, washed his intent to connect with the divine, raised his heart and spirit power to the 'Divine Connection Realm', and thereby practiced a Dao strength at the Ruyi level.

Lan Ruoyun is actually not as good as him; she did not truly break through the Dao strength to the Ruyi level; she could only reach the Ruyi level in the move 【Lan Yin Xu Guo】.

So she also relied on this move to determine the winner.

Cause and effect are reversed, heaven and earth are inverted!

This sword of Ning Chuan is certainly powerful, but after all, it has not exceeded the Ruyi level, so it was still affected by 【Lan Yin Xu Guo】.

A portion of the power disappeared into thin air and then magically transferred to Lan Ruoyun's sword.

The long swords of the two collided.

In an instant, heaven and earth were silent.

Suddenly, Li Fei opened his eyes wide.

On the long street, two grand auras rose into the sky almost at the same time, disturbing the clouds!

The snowflakes falling in the sky were swept away.

"Marquis?!"

Lu Wenxing stared wide-eyed, turned his head to ask Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded, confirming his conjecture: "Broken through the realm."

Ning Chuan and Lan Ruoyun both found the opportunity to break through the realm through this battle.

Both broke through the realm!

A moment later, there were two more Martial Dao Masters in the world.

"This is really..."

Lu Wenxing looked at the two who had separated again, not knowing what to say for a while.

Lan Ruoyun is fine, after all, she is 29 years old; becoming a Martial Dao Master with the combat power of the third place on the overall Fengyun list is not too shocking.

But Ning Chuan is only 25 years old this year, and still half a year away from turning 26.

His breakthrough in this realm means he has broken the historical record of Martial Dao cultivation again!

First was the record of 26 years old left by Ming Qi.

Then Shentu Yue pushed this record forward by more than a month.

Now it is Ning Chuan, breaking the record again, and pushing Ming Qi's record forward by half a year, leading Shentu Yue by nearly five months!

Lu Wenxing did not expect that he could witness the birth of a new number one in history with his own eyes.

His heart suddenly moved, and he turned to look at Li Fei, observing the expression of this Marquis.

But he saw Li Fei start to applaud sincerely and said calmly:

"Congratulations to you both."
