Chapter 70

Gazing at Wuhua, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect for this senior brother who was even younger than himself.

Yet Wuhua pretended not to know.

Hearing Xu Zhu reveal Jinmo Zhi's ambush tactic, Zhao Tianhao felt both shock and admiration.

He was shocked by the danger just now; his attention had been diverted, leaving him no time to block that finger strike for Jiang Sishui.

And it was said that the "Formless Robbery Finger" Wu Gong was exceptionally fierce and domineering, emitting a burst of scorching pure Yang Qi; those struck would turn black all over, as if burned by fire.

Truly, no danger could be greater!

Fortunately, Jiang Sishui was quick-witted and a Late Grandmaster Stage cultivator, responding swiftly; otherwise, his own daughter would likely have cried herself to death.

????????? Begging for flowers??????????

He admired Jinmo Zhi's mastery of the "Formless Robbery Finger" and the depth of his internal power.

The Seventy-Two Special Techniques of Shaolin, each possessing remarkable power, require Hard work the stronger they are; many Gao Seng spend their entire lives learning only three or four.

And this "Formless Robbery Finger" is one of the most outstanding Finger Techniques among them, where the deeper the internal power, the more fierce and ruthless the unleashed power.

Jinmo Zhi's finger strike just now made Zhao Tianhao feel a strong threat.

Most terrifyingly, Jinmo Zhi's left hand was hidden within his monk's sleeve, yet when he suddenly unleashed finger force, not even the hem of the sleeve fluttered a fraction.

Such mastery truly deserves the title "Formless and Traceless."

Zhao Tianhao wore a Solemn Expression, but Jinmo Zhi paid him no heed, staring instead fixedly at Jiang Sishui.

Just now, his finger strike possessed immense power; although Jiang Sishui's sword strike was exquisite to the last detail, his sword blade should have been shattered by the impact, and then struck by the residual force, leaving him worse than dead.

Yet the reality was otherwise.

It was because a layer of mighty Qi was attached to his long sword as well.

The Qi neutralized the finger force, easily dismantling it.

But he was already at the Sixth Layer of the Grandmaster Stage; what level of cultivation must the opponent possess to achieve this?

Sensing the aura leaked when Jiang Sishui drew his sword, Jinmo Zhi's face turned ugly.

Late Grandmaster Stage!

This young man is actually a Late Grandmaster Stage cultivator, stronger than even him!

This made Jinmo Zhi unable to believe it.

After Jiang Sishui's sword strike neutralized Jinmo Zhi's ambush, he laughed: "I did not expect a nobody like me to have the honor of the Tibetan National Preceptor personally descending to ambush me; it is truly an immense honor."

Zhao Mengjiao went so far as to curse outright: "No martial ethics, shameless! How can someone like you be a National Preceptor? Does Tibet only produce such treacherous and shameless people!"

Although she and Jiang Sishui were at odds, Jiang Sishui was still one of their own; moreover, Jinmo Zhi ambushed in front of the Central Plains Escort Agency, did he not look down on them?

Thus, Zhao Mengjiao was also furious in her heart; her willful temper rose, and she pointed at Jinmo Zhi's nose to start scolding.

Jinmo Zhi's face turned black, but his skin was extremely thick; he did not argue with the two, but directly changed the subject.

"This donor is truly a genius! Entering the 'Jinlong Illusion Array' last night, you not only emerged safely but also made great progress in your Wu Gong; this humble monk is truly deeply impressed."

What? This young man entered the "Jinlong Illusion Array," emerged in just one night, and made great progress in his Wu Gong?

In an instant, the gazes of over a hundred people on the scene all turned toward Jiang Sishui.

Who has not heard of the notorious reputation of the "Jinlong Illusion Array"?

Below the Heavenly Human realm, those who break through the array and emerge are fewer than one in ten.

And Heavenly Human experts have already perished several times within it.

It was precisely because of this array blocking the way that the mysterious veil of Drum Beating Mountain has never been lifted.

If what Jinmo Zhi said is true, then Jiang Sishui has accomplished something no one has ever done before.

In an instant, many hearts began to stir, wanting to force the secrets of the illusion array out of Jiang Sishui's mouth.

Although Jiang Sishui was a Grandmaster, he could not suppress everyone.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and said: "What this master said is not false; I also witnessed this brother break into the array. Such wisdom and courage make me feel ashamed."

The heroes followed the voice and looked, discovering that the one speaking with the name "Southern Murong" was none other than Murong Fu of Gusu!

Behind Murong Fu followed the Four Great Retainers and three peerless beauties.

One of them was like a fairy from heaven; seeing her made people either marvel as if seeing a Heavenly Human, drool with desire, or feel ashamed of their own ugliness.

They were Wang Yuyan and the Zhu-Bi Twin Beauties.

Seeing Murong Fu actually getting involved and indirectly attacking Jiang Sishui, the three women felt secretly anxious.

Although they had already seen through Murong Fu's true face and lost those improper thoughts, the bond of over a decade of growing up together remained.

Murong Fu taking the opposite side of Jiang Sishui was something they did not wish to see.

Because the outcome of opposing Jiang Sishui was almost predictably miserable.

In an instant, while the three women were worried, they also secretly blamed him: "With no grudge or hatred, why did you go and provoke him for no reason?"

And Murong Fu's words also caused a stir at the scene.

That foreign monk attacked without regard for face just now, clearly showing poor character, and it might even be a lie or slander.

But if the "Southern Murong," whose reputation fills Suzhou, says so, could it be false?

Thus, most people believed it.

At this moment, suddenly Jiang Sishui laughed heartily: "Drum Beating Mountain was originally occupied by my Xiaoyao Sect, and the 'Jinlong Illusion Array' was set by my master; what is so strange about my being able to move freely between them?"

Xiaoyao Sect? Isn't this Longya Sect? How did it become Xiaoyao Sect?

Hearing this, the heroes were all stunned.

Immediately, countless gazes turned toward Su Suxinghe.

Su Suxinghe was also looking at Jiang Sishui.

To be precise, from the moment Jiang Sishui appeared, Su Suxinghe had been watching him.

Moreover, his emotions surged violently, obviously his heart was not calm at all.

Sitting opposite him, Shen Lang clearly saw excitement, joy, sorrow, anger, and relief in his clouded old eyes.

He wanted to step forward to pay his respects, but was stopped by Jiang Sishui's gaze right from the start.

Facing everyone's questions, Su Suxinghe stood up and said: "This old man is Su Suxinghe; I am both the master of the Longya Sect, and even more so, a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect."

He then pointed at Jiang Sishui: "And this young brother is a member of our sect, and is my junior brother."

Hearing this, the heroes understood.

As for why the "Deaf and Dumb" Mr. suddenly could both hear and speak, although they were unclear, they were not surprised.

Because Su Suxinghe had spoken before.

Only Su Suxinghe's disciples, the "Eight Friends of Hangu," knew that their Master no longer pretending to be deaf and dumb meant he had resolved to fight Ding Chunqiu to the death.

Immediately after, the "Eight Friends of Hangu" turned to look at Jiang Sishui, wondering when they had gained a junior junior uncle.

But since this matter was admitted by Su Suxinghe, they had no choice but to believe it, so they hurried forward and knelt: "We pay our respects to the junior junior uncle!"

Behind Murong Fu, Abi saw her Master Kang Kang Guangling among them; hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward with quick, small steps and said gracefully: "Abi pays her respects to the Great Junior Uncle, to Master, and to all the junior uncles and senior uncles."

As she spoke, Ren Yingying was about to bow down.

But Jiang Sishui reached out and held her up.

Abi looked up in confusion and saw Jiang Sishui smiling gently at her; he said softly: "No need for excessive courtesy."

Then he said to the "Eight Friends of Hangu": "All of you, rise."

As their skin touched, Abi's pretty face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

After hesitating, she finally stood behind her Master Kang Kang Guangling.

Seeing this scene, the heroes were all somewhat stunned.

Although they had never heard of the Xiaoyao Sect, it seemed to have considerable influence.

The Longya Sect was founded by just one disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect.

The divine doctor Xue Muhua, known as the "Yanwang Enemy," is a member of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Even that girl of unknown identity from the Murong family is a Xiaoyao disciple.

And besides Su Suxinghe, an even younger Grand Master has appeared.

Most importantly, Jiang Sishui just said that the "Zhenlong Illusion Array," which can trap and kill even heavenly beings, was set up by his Master!

Connecting one thing after another, isn't the Xiaoyao Sect at least a top-tier power?!

Of course, this is on the premise that the Master in Jiang Sishui's words is still alive...

Zhao Tianhao naturally thought of this as well; while stunned, he couldn't help thinking: "In that case, the old senior he met last night must have been his Master."

"However, did he just become a disciple last night, or has he been a member of the Xiaoyao Sect since early on?"
