Chapter 265

In the evening, Jiang Chen left the Ascending Heaven Pavilion with satisfaction.

In just one day, his cultivation had broken through from the Sixth Level of Immortal Spirit to the peak of the Eighth Level.

Although most of the credit went to Huang Huang Yaoshi, even so, it was still very exaggerated.

Following this momentum,

he estimated that in two or three days, he would be able to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

The Celestial Immortal realm—

even if there were any in this world, there wouldn't be many!

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Chen found that Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo and the others were, for once, not playing "Fight the Landlord" but were gathered together discussing something.

"Little Junior Brother, something big has happened!"

Seeing Jiang Chen, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo ran to his side and said with a strange expression: "Sister Rong's father has come to our Snow Moon City, and it seems he already knows about you and Sister Rong!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

everyone looked at Jiang Chen, and people like Tian Nvrui and Dongfang Bubai were even secretly snickering.

Jiang Chen glanced at them and smiled slightly: "Mm, I already know."

"You already know?"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo was stunned, then said with some worry: "Then what are you going to do, Little Junior Brother?"

Through their time together, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo had long since grown fond of this sister who was about the same age as her, and she didn't want to see Huang Rong taken away from Snow Moon City by Huang Huang Yaoshi.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Jiang Chen rubbed Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo's head and then turned to walk toward the courtyard where Huang Huang Yaoshi was staying.

Since Yueyue and the others were all living in his courtyard, it clearly wasn't appropriate for Huang Huang Yaoshi to stay there, so after finding Huang Rong, Brother Sikong Changfeng had taken Huang Huang Yaoshi to a separate courtyard.

A moment later,

Jiang Chen arrived at the courtyard where Huang Huang Yaoshi was staying.

Before he even went in,

he heard Huang Rong's coquettish voice: "Father, let me tell you, Young Master is a very good person. Anyway, whether you agree or not, I've already decided!"

"Hmph, you've just stepped into the Jianghu, how would you know the dangers of the Jianghu?"

"How would I not know? That Brother Ouyang Ke pestered me all the way to Snow Moon City. If Young Master hadn't stepped in to save me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you anymore, Father!"

"Even if this Jiang Chen is as good as you say, I still don't agree, unless you can make him give up other women."

"Impossible!"

Huang Rong denied it without even thinking: "If we're talking about it, they have been with Young Master even longer than I have!"

"Since that's the case, then you come back to Peach Blossom Island with me."

"I'm not going back. Anyway, I've already decided: wherever Young Master is, I will be."

"Simply preposterous!"

Huang Huang Yaoshi glared, then moved to forcibly take Huang Rong away.

However, Huang Rong moved her body and dodged it directly.

"Hmm?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi was startled and looked at Huang Rong with some surprise: "Daughter, you've broken through to the mid-stage of the Freedom Earthly realm? No... are you cultivating the Nine Yin Manual? Where did you get the Nine Yin Manual?"

"Young Master taught it to me."

"Such an important martial arts manual, and he just taught it to you like that?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi showed a look of surprise.

Although Huang Rong's mother died of exhaustion and difficult labor because she transcribed the Nine Yin Manual, Huang Huang Yaoshi didn't like the Nine Yin Manual very much in his heart.

But it couldn't be denied that the internal cultivation method of the Nine Yin Manual was indeed much stronger than that of Peach Blossom Island.

However, soon,

Huang Huang Yaoshi looked at Huang Rong with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the Nine Yin Manual at the Quanzhen Sect? Could it be that this brat stole it?"

However,

before Huang Rong could answer, Jiang Chen's voice came from outside: "It seems you have quite a strong opinion of me, Senior."

Seeing Jiang Chen push the door and enter, a happy smile appeared on Huang Rong's face.

Jiang Chen first looked at Huang Rong with a smile, then looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi: "Although I visited the Quanzhen Sect some time ago, I obtained this Nine Yin Manual from elsewhere."

"Elsewhere?"

"Senior should have heard of the Tomb of the Living Dead, right?"

"Of course I have."

Huang Huang Yaoshi nodded. Although he didn't like Jiang Chen, he was indeed curious about where Jiang Chen had obtained the Nine Yin Manual.

"Since Senior knows about the Tomb of the Living Dead, you should also know about the story of Wang Wang Chongyang and the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Lin Lin Chaoying, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "As far as I know, Wang Wang Chongyang stayed in the Tomb of the Living Dead for a period of time, and the Nine Yin Manual in my hand was obtained in the Tomb of the Living Dead."

"You mean Wang Wang Chongyang left the Nine Yin Manual in the Tomb of the Living Dead?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded and then continued: "Actually, not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but traces of the Nine Yin Manual can also be found in the Great Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this,

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi and smiled lightly: "I wonder if Senior has heard of the rumors about the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword?"

Hearing this,

Huang Huang Yaoshi also narrowed his eyes slightly: "The saber and sword I saw in front of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion today—could they really be the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword?"

"Why ask me, Senior? I believe that with your discernment, you should be able to tell at a glance whether they are real or fake."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words,

Huang Huang Yaoshi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Since the other party had said so, he couldn't very well say that he actually hadn't been able to tell.

"There has always been a rumor in the Great Ming Jianghu that whoever can obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword can truly command the world. Now that these two weapons are in your hands, I would like to ask, are these two weapons really that magical?"

"Have you heard this rumor too, Senior?"

"The Great Song and the Great Ming are not far apart, and people from the two Jianghu circles often interact, so I have heard some rumors about the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

Jiang Chen discovered that,

when talking about the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword, Huang Huang Yaoshi's attitude toward him was clearly a bit different from before.

The other party seemed to care very much about the authenticity of this rumor.

After thinking slightly,

Jiang Chen understood the general idea.

With Huang Huang Yaoshi's strength and connections, it wasn't impossible for him to have found out that the *Wumu Legacy* was related to this rumor.

"Whether obtaining the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword can command the world, I don't know, but..."

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "I just told you, Senior, that the Nine Yin Manual is not only found in the Great Song Dynasty; traces of it actually exist in the Great Ming Dynasty as well. The reason I say this is that I also obtained a copy of the Nine Yin Manual from inside the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and its content is exactly the same as what was recorded in the Tomb of the Living Dead."

"The Nine Yin Manual again?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi was stunned, and then a trace of dimness appeared on his face.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "You seem a bit disappointed, Senior?"

"Disappointed is not the word; I just feel that although the Nine Yin Manual is powerful, it is truly an exaggeration to say that one can command the world based on a single martial arts manual."

"It is indeed a bit exaggerated."

Jiang Chen nodded and then looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi with a smile: "Then what if it's not just the Nine Yin Manual?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that the Heaven-Reliant Sword also hides other things?"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "That's not the case."

Huang Huang Yaoshi: "..."

"However, although there isn't anything in the Heaven-Reliant Sword, there is still the Dragon-Slaying Saber, isn't there?"

"You mean the Dragon-Slaying Saber also hides a secret?"

Jiang Chen nodded again and then looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi with curiosity: "The Heaven-Reliant Sword contains the Nine Yin Manual, so why don't you guess, Senior, what is hidden in this Dragon-Slaying Saber?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi looked at Jiang Chen.

He discovered that from the moment Jiang Chen entered the door until now, the rhythm had been controlled by the other party.

However,

even knowing this, he had no way to deal with it.

After all, the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword were both in the other party's hands, and if the information he had gathered before was true, then what was hidden in this Dragon-Slaying Saber was very likely the *Wumu Legacy* he had been searching for.

However,

this time, before Huang Huang Yaoshi could speak,

Huang Rong flickered her dark eyes, her face full of curiosity.

"Could it be the Nine Yang Manual?"

Since the Heaven-Reliant Sword contained the Nine Yin Manual, it wasn't impossible for the Dragon-Slaying Saber to contain the Nine Yang Manual, which was just as famous as the Nine Yin Manual.

Jiang Chen glanced at Huang Rong and shook his head with a smile.

Although Huang Rong was clever, in a situation where there were absolutely no clues, it was clearly impossible for her to guess correctly.

Furthermore,

Huang Rong, who had always stayed on Peach Blossom Island, might not have even heard of the *Wumu Legacy*.

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi again: "What do you think it is, Senior?"

However,

looking at the smiles on the faces of Jiang Chen and his daughter, Huang Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but snort, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a fierce gulp.

"I don't know."

Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't mind and just said with a smile: "It is the *Wumu Legacy*."

After saying this,

he stared at Huang Huang Yaoshi, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

And upon hearing Jiang Chen's words,

Huang Huang Yaoshi's expression shifted slightly, but after seeing Jiang Chen's smiling expression, he hurriedly swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

He almost fell for this brat's trick again!

But... how did this brat know he was looking for the *Wumu Legacy*?

"The *Wumu Legacy*, what kind of thing is that?"

Huang Rong, who was extremely curious, immediately looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity again: "Is it a martial arts manual even more powerful than the Nine Yin Manual?"

"How can there be so many powerful martial arts in the world?"

Looking at Huang Rong's delicate and cute appearance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but flick her on the head.

Huang Huang Yaoshi immediately glared at Jiang Chen: "Brat, behave yourself!"

"Ahem~"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly and then explained to Huang Rong with a smile: "It's not a martial arts manual, but a military book written by a famous general who resisted the Jin."

"A military book, huh."

Huang Rong immediately lost interest: "That's not as good as the Nine Yin Manual."

"That's what I thought too."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "So I'm planning to use this *Wumu Legacy* as a reward for breaking into the Ascending Heaven Pavilion."

"No!"

Huang Huang Yaoshi stood up with a start.
