Chapter 175

Sikong Changfeng didn't argue with him.

After all, the person delivering the list was just a disciple executing orders.

Sikong Changfeng asked curiously:

"Is this Wushuang the disciple of Wushuang City's Song Yanhui, the current City Lord of Wushuang City?"

The man in the bamboo hat breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Back to the Gun Immortal, yes!"

"Mm."

Sikong Changfeng nodded gently and joked:

"I didn't expect that in the eyes of your Hall Master Ji Ruofeng, our Snow Moon City's Eldest Disciple Tang Lian would be inferior to this Wushuang; fortunately, our Snow Moon City produced a Jiang Chen, otherwise, I'm afraid this Good Jade List would be suppressed by Wushuang City."

Hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat

just bowed and didn't speak.

No matter how he answered this question, he would inevitably offend one side.

Sikong Changfeng smiled, then his attitude became serious, no longer as lighthearted as before.

Third list of the Golden List, the Crown-Peerless List!

Although the Good Jade List also had specific rankings, the Good Jade List only represented potential and didn't mean that those who made it onto the Good Jade List were already experts.

However, this Crown-Peerless List truly symbolized the peak experts of the Northern Li Jianghu.

Those who could make it onto this list

were at least at the strength of a Sword Immortal, which was the late stage of the Great Carefree Realm.

The Crown-Peerless List was divided into four tiers.

Among them, there were four people in the fourth tier, three in the third tier, two in the second tier, and one in the first tier!

"Fourth tier of the Crown-Peerless List: Tyrant Blade Dantai Po, Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan, Ghost Blade Zhaiyue Jun, Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi!"

"Third tier of the Crown-Peerless List: Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen, Gun Immortal Sikong Changfeng, Tang Lianyue!"

"Second tier of the Crown-Peerless List: Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang!"

"First tier of the Crown-Peerless List: Mo Yi!"

"..."

"Jiang Chen didn't make it onto the list?"

Sikong Changfeng was curious, but soon he discovered that there was some text below.

"Note: Lei Hong can be called a Sword Immortal in terms of strength, but because he lacks a good sword, he cannot make it onto the Hundred Weapons List and the Crown-Peerless List!"

"Note: Jiang Chen, rumored to possess at least the strength of a Half-Step Spirit-Wandering Realm, but no one has seen him take action, so he cannot make it onto the Crown-Peerless List!"

"Note: Lei Yunhe's realm fell because his arm was cut off by the Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen, so he cannot make it onto the Crown-Peerless List!"

"Note: The Angry Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian's trail has disappeared, and it is rumored that his weapon, Breaking Army, appeared in Snow Moon City, so he cannot make it onto the Crown-Peerless List!"

"This list is quite interesting."

Sikong Changfeng smiled, then his gaze fell on the man in the bamboo hat: "Who is this Mo Yi?"

The man in the bamboo hat shook his head: "I don't know."

"Besides Snow Moon City, where else was this list sent?"

"Lei Men, Tang Men, Sword Heart Tomb, Green City Mountain, Wushuang City, Muliao City."

The man in the bamboo hat lowered his head and said: "However, according to past experience, although the Golden List doesn't evaluate the Tianqi court, this list should also have been sent to Tianqi City, to the Lanyue Marquis Mansion, the Honglu Temple, the Five Great Eunuchs, the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial Palace."

"Alright, I know."

Sikong Changfeng waved his hand, signaling that the other party could leave.

Seeing this, the man in the bamboo hat immediately showed a look of joy.

In the past, when delivering lists, although there were no cases of Hundred-Knowledge Hall messengers being killed, who knew what kind of temper these experts on the Crown-Peerless List had.

If someone was dissatisfied with this ranking and killed them with a blade, that would truly be an unjust death.

However,

just as the man in the bamboo hat was about to walk out the door, Sikong Changfeng's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Wait a moment."

The man in the bamboo hat was startled and quickly stopped: "Senior Gun Immortal, what other instructions do you have?"

"Nothing much."

Sikong Changfeng smiled faintly: "Just remember to tell Ji Ruofeng when you go back that next time you rank the list, remember to include himself as well."

"Yes."

Watching the departing Hundred-Knowledge Hall messenger, Sikong Changfeng summoned a disciple.

"Go, make a few copies of this list and send one to each of the elders, and also send one to Grand General Ye Xiaoying's daughter."

"In addition,"

"post one on the notice board outside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion."

Regarding this Crown-Peerless List,

Sikong Changfeng didn't place too much importance on it.

After all, the Hundred-Knowledge Hall had several principles when evaluating the Crown-Peerless List.

First, experts in the court would not be on the list.

Second, experts from killer organizations would not be on the list.

Third, those who had passed away or whose realms had fallen would not be on the list.

And those like Lei Hong, who clearly had the strength of a Sword Immortal but lacked a good weapon, making their overall strength weaker than other Sword Immortals, would not be on the list either.

Therefore,

this Crown-Peerless List could only be used as a reference and could not be taken as the true ranking of Northern Li and Southern Jue Jianghu experts.

Just like Tianqi City,

as the Imperial City, no one knew how many experts were hidden within it.

Just looking at those on the surface,

like the Five Great Eunuchs and the several Heavenly Masters of the Imperial Observatory, it could be said that each one was an expert who had entered the Carefree Heaven Realm.

Especially the head of the Five Great Eunuchs, Eunuch Jinxuan, and the head of the Imperial Observatory, Qi Tianchen; it was estimated that both had already reached the Half-Step Spirit-Wandering Realm.

Not to mention the former Five Great Eunuchs who guarded the Imperial Mausoleum.

And then there were those like Ji Ruofeng.

As the Bai Hu among the Four Guardians of Tianqi,

his strength was also very powerful.

Back then, one strike of his staff was boundless, endless, and without end, as if carrying the power of the heavens, earth, and the vast sea!

Even experts like Baili Dongjun and the Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang, who had long reached the peak of the Half-Step Spirit-Wandering Realm, didn't dare to ignore this Bai Hu!

However,

thinking of the name in the first tier of the Crown-Peerless List,

Sikong Changfeng couldn't help but think of the overseas fairy mountain that his Senior Brother Baili Dongjun was searching for.

It was rumored that the fairy mountain was called Penglai Island.

There were immortals on the island who could rise with the wind, travel with the wind, coexist with heaven and earth, and grow old with the sun and moon.

Sikong Changfeng knew very well whether this Penglai Island existed.

This Penglai Fairy Island not only existed, but the immortals on the island were also real!

Because Baili Dongjun had once accidentally landed on this island and had also seen the immortals!

Sikong Changfeng didn't know if there were truly immortals in the world, but the strength of this "immortal" had at least reached the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm!

Just as Sikong Changfeng received the Golden List,

in the desolate land of the west, there was a desert stretching for a hundred miles.

In the desert,

there stood a lonely city proudly.

The Hundred-Knowledge Hall messenger stood respectfully outside the city gate, waiting for the people inside the city to come out.

This city

was the most desolate city in the west of the Northern Li Dynasty, and no one could enter the city without the City Lord's permission.

Even if the Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun came here, it was the same.
