Chapter 554

~7 min read 1,393 words

although he had been busy on the road these past few days, he had also heard some things along the way, including the fact that a Sword Immortal of Northern Li had fallen in Snow Moon City, which seemed to be because he had broken the rules of Snow Moon City.

However,

the stronger Snow Moon City was, the happier Murong Fu was!

After Murong Fu and his party left,

Wang Yuyan just went back to her room to simply tidy up her luggage, and then walked out of the inn.

Although she had been traveling for several days, she had always been sitting in the sedan chair, so she wasn't particularly tired.

And just now, when she was outside,

she had also heard some things about Snow Moon City, especially about the Ascension Pavilion.

In this Snow Moon City,

actually half of the people were here for that Ascension Pavilion?!

Wang Yuyan revealed a look of surprise.

With curiosity in her heart,

she slowly walked toward the Ascension Pavilion.

These two weapons....

Just as she arrived outside the Ascension Pavilion, Wang Yuyan's gaze could not help but fall on the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber stuck in the giant rock.

She saw the extraordinary nature of these two weapons at a glance!

Although because of her congenital condition, she had never been able to practice martial arts,

over these years,

she had read through the martial arts manuals of all sects and factions in the world, so she naturally had the eye for it.

"Miss, this is your first time in Snow Moon City, right?"

At this moment, Wang Yuyan was dressed in a plain white dress, and coupled with her beautiful and stunning face, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing someone talking to her,

Wang Yuyan turned to look at the other party and nodded lightly.

And seeing that such a fairy-like figure had actually responded to him, the man's face immediately revealed excitement and agitation.

However, soon,

he suppressed his excitement and said:

"Although I don't know where you came from, Miss, let me tell you, these two divine weapons have a great background. I heard that Young Master Jiang specially brought them back from the Great Ming Jianghu to be used as rewards for passing the Ascension Pavilion."

"Great Ming Jianghu?"

"Yes, the Great Ming Jianghu. Miss, have you ever heard of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber?"

Hearing this,

Wang Yuyan's face immediately revealed surprise.

Even if she hadn't been to the Great Ming Dynasty,

she had heard of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Although she didn't quite believe the rumor that one could rule the Jianghu by obtaining these two weapons, she also knew that even if these two weapons weren't as powerful as the rumors said, they wouldn't be bad.

Wang Yuyan subconsciously thought of Murong Fu.

There were no airtight walls in the world,

and over these years, she had already vaguely guessed what Murong Fu was doing.

Moreover,

she also understood Murong Fu's personality;

scheming and deep, often doing anything to achieve his goals.

Could it be that Cousin actually came for these two weapons?

It's just...

Why did he have to bring her along?

Just then,

the man spoke again:

"Miss, have you heard of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber too?"

"Then, Miss, are you curious why these two divine weapons are placed here so casually, with no one watching, yet no one dares to have any crooked thoughts?"

Wang Yuyan asked curiously: "Why is that?"

"Of course, because of Young Master Jiang!"

"Let alone that Young Master Jiang stays on the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion during the day, just the fact that Young Master Jiang killed the Dao Sword Immortal with one sword some time ago is enough to deter everyone."

"You must have heard of the Dao Sword Immortal, right? He is the youngest and most talented Sect Master of Mount Qingcheng in Northern Li in a hundred years. I heard he was only one step away from breaking through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm. But unfortunately, in front of Young Master Jiang, he couldn't even block one move..."

Wang Yuyan asked:

"Is this Young Master Jiang you speak of a Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm expert?"

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan subconsciously looked up at the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion, and then asked with some confusion:

"Since that is the case, if this Young Master Jiang is guarding the ninth floor, wouldn't it mean no one can pass?"

"Hehe, Miss, don't look at the fact that there are so many people queuing up to challenge the pavilion now; in reality, not many people are here for the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

The man said excitedly: "The real reason is that Young Master Jiang once sent word that he would randomly select at least ten challengers every day to give guidance on their martial arts. This is the real attraction for us. After all, no matter how good a weapon is, it's just an external object."

Seeming to have thought of something,

he continued: "However, Miss, you were wrong about one thing. It's not that everyone can't pass. Just a short while ago, someone passed the ninth floor and received the Nine Yin Manual as a reward."

"Nine Yin Manual?"

Wang Yuyan revealed a look of shock on her face.

She had read through all kinds of martial arts manuals in the world, but that did not include the Nine Yin Manual.

"Miss, have you heard of the Nine Yin Manual too? I heard that this Nine Yin Manual was brought over from the Great Song Jianghu by Young Master Jiang. By the way, the person who passed the Ascension Pavilion seems to be from the Great Song too, and just like you, Miss, she is as beautiful as a fairy."

Wang Yuyan pondered for a moment, then said:

"But I haven't heard of any woman in the Great Song Jianghu whose cultivation has reached the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm?"

"I don't know about that."

The man shook his head: "Maybe that lady didn't choose martial combat."

Chapter 287: Wang Yuyan challenges the pavilion!

"Miss, are you suspecting that there is something fishy about this Ascension Pavilion?"

Seeing Wang Yuyan suddenly stop talking, the man hurriedly explained:

"If that's the case, Miss, you don't have to worry. After all, with Young Master Jiang's strength, he simply doesn't need to do such things. And whether we can pass the Ascension Pavilion has no impact on Snow Moon City at all. On the contrary, Young Master Jiang's guidance without any conditions makes us, who have no sect or faction, extremely grateful."

Wang Yuyan shook her head and said with a smile:

"I wasn't suspecting that, but hearing what you just said, could it be that there are different ways to challenge this Ascension Pavilion?"

"So that's what you were confused about, Miss."

The man said with a smile: "This Ascension Pavilion has a total of fifteen floors. The other floors require strength to pass. Only the ninth floor, where Young Master Jiang is, is a bit different. If you don't choose martial combat, Miss, you can choose to answer a question. There is only one question. If you answer it correctly, it counts as passing."

Wang Yuyan was astonished: "It's that simple?"

"This is not simple at all!"

"Miss, you don't know, but this ninth floor originally only allowed choosing to answer a question. It was precisely because not many people could answer it that Young Master Jiang added martial combat on top of answering the question."

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan could not help but have her eyes light up.

When she was at Mantuo Villa before, because she was bored, she often asked people to find books for her to read.

It could be said that,

whether it was poetry, or knowledge and skills like agriculture, Mohism, medicine, or law, she was proficient in everything. As for martial arts manuals, compared to those, they could only be considered familiar.

Of course,

this familiarity was only relative.

Compared to the vast majority of martial artists, it could be said that Wang Yuyan understood the martial arts they practiced better than they did themselves.

"Miss, do you want to challenge this Ascension Pavilion too?"
