Chapter 269

"Master, do you know him?"

Saying this.

A hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

"That's just because you're narrow-minded."

"That man was a powerhouse a hundred years ago!"

"His sword style opens and closes with grandeur—truly formidable!"

"Even Nie Renwang himself once held him in high esteem."

He gave him an irritated side-eye.

A flicker of nostalgia crossed Wuming's face as he explained slowly.

"Heh, I thought he was that powerful."

"Turns out he's just an outdated elder."

Jian Chen, upon hearing this, couldn't help but sneer.

That haughty, dismissive look.

It made Wuming's brows knit tightly together.

An unnamed mountain range.

Gazing at the Bodhi Clear-Heart Pill in his hand.

Gu Guizi's face was filled with helpless despair.

The pill is indeed a good pill.

But does he need to reveal all his thoughts?

I, the founding ancestor of the Zongheng School, don't have any dignity left!!

Just imagining how the people of the Nine Provinces would react upon seeing information about him.

Gu Guizi's old face flushed alternately green and white.

Even the pill in his hand suddenly lost its appeal!!

Most importantly,

He had absolutely no way to deal with the Heavenly Dao Golden List except to complain!

Baby feels wronged, baby says nothing, wu wu wu...

The Third Pig Huang, far away in Yunzhou, reacted the same way.

At this moment, he

Stared at the Mythical Breakthrough Pill in his hand.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

His fat, round head shook back and forth.

His face twisted in anguish as he muttered incessantly.

"Heaven, what have I done wrong?!"

"Why?"

"Why did you give me this damn Mythical Breakthrough Pill?!"

"I don't want to become stronger!!"

"Better to reward me with some Handsome and Graceful Pill, or Eat-All-You-Want-Without-Gaining-Weight Pill!"

That voice, that tone.

It even carried a hint of sobbing.

It was truly enough to make anyone furious!

Fortunately, no one else was around him.

Otherwise,

Just hearing those words would have made someone instantly draw a forty-meter-long great sword!!

Duanqing Cottage.

"Hmph! That Pig Huang is a fool!"

"To waste such talent—truly, the full don't understand the hungry!"

He read the content of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Di Er Daohuang let out a heavy snort.

His weathered face was filled with disdain.

With this talent, wouldn't it be better to pursue the ultimate path of the sword?

All food, all beauties—they're all demons that corrupt my Dao heart!!

He grumbled bitterly under his breath.

Di Er Daohuang's expression shifted.

His eyes softened as he gently caressed the great sword in his hand, whispering low.

"Soon, soon."

"Once I make it onto the list and receive a pill of utter detachment, I'll surely break through these chains!"

"Then, I'll make that old bastard Xie Huang taste the might of my Duanqing Seven Absolute Techniques!!"

"Number One—I'm taking it for sure!!"

Meanwhile,

As the people of the world reacted in varied ways.

In the void.

The originally silent Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List suddenly blazed with brilliant light.

In an instant.

It caused the world's people, who had just looked away for only a moment, to all look up again.

Not long after.

The golden light faded.

Lines of small characters slowly appeared.

【Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List — (tied) 47th Place.....】

155—Thorny Wildflower, Representative of Jiangnan Women! (Request Self-Subscription)

【Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List — (tied) 47th Place: Lu Wushuang, Cultivation: Second-Rate.】

【Identity: Disciple of the Fairy Chi Lian, Li Mochou, of Great Song.】

【As an orphan left behind after her sect was destroyed, her life was exceedingly unfortunate.】

【Though she became Li Mochou's disciple, that woman was her sect's destroyer; thus, not only was she never taught any profound Wu Gong, but even her daily life was lived in constant caution.】

【Perhaps because of these experiences, she grew eccentric and temperamental.】

【Not only was she quick to anger and extreme, but also, after breaking one leg as a child, her heart became profoundly sensitive and insecure.】

【Her greatest taboo in life was anyone laughing at her limp.】

【Of course, besides her hatred of evil, she also possessed the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women.】

【The outward strength she displayed was merely her disguise; should one enter her heart, they would find unwavering loyalty, bound even by life and death!】

【Heaven's Judgment: Thorny Wildflower!】

【Heaven's Reward: Pill of Mending the Broken Mirror (ingest to restore all external injuries)】

【Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers List — (tied) 47th Place: Cheng Ying, Cultivation: First-Rate.】

【Identity: Disciple of the Eastern Hermit Huang Yaoshi.】

【As Lu Wushuang's cousin, Cheng Ying escaped disaster by being away, and was later noticed and taken in as Weiguan Sect's final disciple by Huang Yaoshi.】

【Compared to her cousin's miserable life, hers was considerably better.】
