Chapter 95

The death of Lu Lu Suzhen was not a natural one.

However.

Faced with the passing of Sect Leader Lu Lu Suzhen, Mount Mount Qingcheng accepted it all calmly, as if they had long anticipated this outcome.

Immediately after.

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen, only twenty-two years old and already a Celestial Master of Mount Mount Qingcheng at the time, became the new generation's sect leader—the youngest in the history of Mount Mount Qingcheng since its founding.

Not long after.

Four elders with white hair and beards, possessing an air of refined Daoist grace, arrived at Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s courtyard.

"Zhao Yuzhen, do you truly intend to let down the painstaking efforts your master made for you all those years ago?"

Yin Changsong looked at Zhao Zhao Yuzhen and sighed: "Back then, your master died under Heavenly Punishment to alter your destiny. Now that you have reached the Half-Step God-Roaming realm, you only need to wait until you break through to the God-Roaming Mystery realm to descend the mountain at will. Why can you not wait a few more years?"

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen was born in a village at the foot of Mount Mount Qingcheng, and his birth was accompanied by strange phenomena that immediately alarmed the Celestial Masters of Mount Mount Qingcheng.

That very day, six Celestial Masters descended the mountain and brought Zhao Zhao Yuzhen back up with them.

At the age of three, he was taken in as the sect leader's closing disciple; at six, he mastered the Great Dragon Elephant Strength; and at eleven, he began learning the Boundless Sword Art.

However.

When Zhao Zhao Yuzhen was young, Lu Lu Suzhen had cast a divination for him and calculated that he would inevitably face a tribulation in this life.

If he never descended the mountain, he could ensure the prosperity of Mount Mount Qingcheng for a hundred years; otherwise, the world would be shaken, chaos would erupt, and he himself would face the danger of falling.

Yet.

Lu Lu Suzhen seemed to have also calculated that Zhao Zhao Yuzhen would inevitably descend the mountain.

Thus, he attempted to alter Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s destiny.

But.

Even though Lu Lu Suzhen sacrificed his own life, he died under Heavenly Punishment before he could fully alter Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s destiny.

Fortunately, although it was not a complete success, it did grant Zhao Zhao Yuzhen a sliver of an opportunity.

That was to step into the God-Roaming Mystery realm, and only then could he descend the mountain!

"Uncle-Master Yin."

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen looked at the lead elder with a calm expression: "Uncle-Master, you previously refused to tell me the identity of the person who came to Mount Mount Qingcheng to challenge us with the sword, but now, I already know who she is."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s words.

The old Celestial Master Yin Changsong wore a bitter expression as he advised: "Zhao Yuzhen, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal has no place for you in her heart. Why must you stake your own fate and the fate of Mount Mount Qingcheng to pursue a woman who does not love you?"

"Uncles and Masters, my mind is made up."

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen looked toward the direction of Snow Moon City.

At the same time.

A long sword flew from the distance and landed in his hand.

It was none other than the treasure of Mount Mount Qingcheng—the Qingxiao Sword.

"Not for the sake of Mount Mount Qingcheng's fate, but even for the sake of your master, I will not allow you to descend the mountain!"

Yin Changsong’s face flushed with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow junior brothers, form the array!"

He was truly furious now.

Sect Leader Lu Lu Suzhen had stepped into the God-Roaming Mystery realm in just a few decades; he could be called the most talented person in the history of Mount Mount Qingcheng.

Yet Lu Lu Suzhen had sacrificed his own life to alter Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s destiny.

And now.

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen was going to waste Lu Lu Suzhen’s painstaking efforts for the sake of a woman who did not love him!

If he were really allowed to descend the mountain, wouldn't Lu Lu Suzhen have been struck by lightning in vain?

"You cannot stop me."

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen looked at the four Celestial Masters of Mount Mount Qingcheng, then gently raised the Qingxiao Sword in his hand, carving out a sword Qi that struck Yin Changsong and the others.

Boom!

The sword array of Yin Changsong and the four others instantly collapsed.

And the four long swords in their hands were sent flying by the force of Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s sword Qi, pinning them straight into the plaque of the Qiankun Hall.

The four of them were stunned.

Only Yin Changsong had broken through to the Unfettered Heaven realm not long ago, while the other three were only at the Freedom Earth realm; how could they possibly resist Zhao Zhao Yuzhen, who was already at the Half-Step God-Roaming realm?

However.

Just as Zhao Zhao Yuzhen was preparing to descend the mountain.

A scholar and a young Daoist priest suddenly blocked his path.

"Li Fansong, Feixuan, do you two intend to stop me as well?"

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen looked at his two disciples, a faint smile appearing on his face.

These two.

One was his successor in sword techniques.

The other was his successor in Daoist arts.

"Disciple would not dare."

Li Li Fansong and Feixuan immediately knelt down: "But if Master descends the mountain, not only might Master lose his life, but Mount Mount Qingcheng might also lose its legacy. We beg Master to think thrice!"

"You are overthinking it. I have long been at the Half-Step God-Roaming realm; I can be considered half an immortal."

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen walked straight past Li Li Fansong and Feixuan: "Although I, Zhao Zhao Yuzhen, have never walked the Jianghu, I know that the Jianghu calls me the Dao Sword Immortal!"

Having said that.

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen walked toward the foot of the mountain without looking back.

And as he walked forward step by step, dark clouds gathered over Mount Mount Qingcheng, and thunder rumbled.

At the same time.

The earth at the foot of Mount Mount Qingcheng shook, as if thousands of troops were gathering.

The Cavalry General, who was napping in his tent, suddenly woke from his dream and looked at the reporting soldier with a face full of surprise: "That Daoist, he descended the mountain?"

"Yes, the scouts on the mountain have already sent the signal."

Upon hearing this.

Wang Tie immediately rushed out of the tent in excitement: "Men, tell the brothers to polish their weapons! Damn it, after eating for free in this godforsaken place for so many years, we are finally going to be liberated!"

Not long after.

Wang Tie saw a purple figure rushing toward them at high speed.

"Audacious Zhao Zhao Yuzhen, I am the Beili Cavalry General Wang..." Wang Tie raised his long spear, shouting fiercely at Zhao Zhao Yuzhen.

However, before he could finish his sentence.

Zhao Zhao Yuzhen had already passed through the thousand cavalrymen; wherever he went, men and horses were sent flying.

Facing a powerhouse at the Half-Step God-Roaming realm, three thousand iron cavalry were completely useless!

"Could he really be a god?"

Wang Tie scrambled up from the ground, staring dumbfounded at the figure moving into the distance: "Men, write a letter to the Imperial Observatory!"

"..."

Ye Ye Ruoyi’s small courtyard.

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo took the Gold List from the hands of a Snow Moon City disciple who had arrived, and opened it impatiently.

"Wow, I actually made it onto the Good Jade List!"

She looked excited, then suddenly frowned: "Hmph! What is wrong with this Hundred Schools Hall? They didn't even rank the Junior Brother on the Peerless List."

"Let me see."

Hearing Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo’s words.

Jiang Chen instantly knew that what she was holding must be the Martial Arts List compiled by Ji Ji Ruofeng of the Jianghu Hundred Schools Hall.

The other women saw this and all gathered around.

Especially Lianxing and Huang Rong.

Although the two had been in Snow Moon City for some time, they were clearly still not very familiar with the affairs of the Beili Jianghu.

"If you ask me, the Junior Brother should be ranked at the top of the Peerless List!"

Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo handed the Gold List to Jiang Chen while still muttering to herself.

Clearly.
