Chapter 445

"It's here, it's here! The Hundred Flowers Ranking is here!"

The Combat Power Ranking, besides letting the world know how strong the realm's experts are, seems to have no great use.

The Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, however, is different.

After all, who doesn't love beauties?

Even many women love most of all to look at beauties.

Every beauty who can make the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking is without exception an unmatched beauty of the mortal world.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking thoughtfully bestows a Youth-Preserving Pill upon beauties whose cultivation is lacking.

With the Youth-Preserving Pill, these unmatched beauties not only make hearts flutter, but can also keep it that way forever.

Therefore, among all the people under heaven, whether martial artists or ordinary folk, what they love most to see is this Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking.

As the Jin Guang slowly faded, line upon line of small characters appeared in the vault of heaven.

【Thirty-Seventh on the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking — Mu Wanqing, Cultivation: First-Rate】

【Identity: Illegitimate daughter of Duan Zhengchun, the Zhennan King of Dali, and 'Asura Blade' Qin Hongmian】

【Mu Wanqing, blessed with fine bloodlines, was saddled with a pair of utterly irresponsible parents】

【Her father was a philanderer; until his death, he never even knew of Mu Wanqing's existence】

【Her mother Qin Hongmian treated her as nothing but a chess piece】

【A chess piece to cultivate and take revenge against her romantic rival】

【Fortunately, Mu Wanqing was brought to Qinglong Peak by Li Canghai】

【Here, her public identity is that of a mere maidservant】

【In truth, she lives far better than the Princess of Dali】

【No one forces her to practice martial arts, no one forces her to kill】

【No one dares show her the slightest disrespect】

【All of this made Mu Wanqing intoxicated】

【Qinglong Peak became like a home to Mu Wanqing】

【The more she gained, the more she cherished all of it】

【Especially after Ximen Wudi left Qinglong Peak】

【She sensed a crisis】

【Recklessly heading to the Mission Hall to take on assignments】

【She would grow stronger; she would become a member of the Qinglong Society】

【She would become a useful person】

【A person useful to Ximen Wudi】

【Heavenly Dao Appraisal: Graceful as forest springs, gentle and radiant】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Youth-Preserving Pill】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Great Fortune Pill】

【Great Fortune Pill: This pill does not increase one's power, nor does it increase one's comprehension of realms】

【But as long as one completes missions related to the Qinglong Society, one will receive power rewards corresponding to the points earned】

【The higher the mission's difficulty, the greater the power reward】

……

【Thirty-Seventh on the Nine Provinces Hundred Flowers Ranking (tied) — Yin Tianxue, Cultivation: Grand Master】

【Identity: Sole descendant of the Sword-Riding Shanzhuang of Shuiyue Dongtian, now a member of the Qinglong Society】

【Shuiyue Dongtian is one of the Thirty-Six Dongtian】

【Since antiquity, it has always been occupied by the Tong clan】

【Yin Tianxue is in fact also a descendant of the Tong clan】

【It is only a pity that her ancestor Tong Yin Zhong betrayed the Tong clan and was expelled】

【Therefore, Yin Tianxue does not possess the Tong clan's innate supernatural abilities】

【Relying on the Tong clan's bloodline, her cultivation of Wu Gong progressed extremely swiftly】

【Yin Zhong, however, out of private grudge, wished to use her — marrying into the Tong clan to seek the Spirit Mirror】

【When Yin Tianxue refused, Yin Zhong annihilated the entire Sword-Riding Shanzhuang】

【Now Yin Tianxue has not a single relative left, and can only take shelter in the Qinglong Society】

【Heavenly Dao Appraisal: Kind-hearted, resolute and domineering, yet burdened by a tragic fate】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Youth-Preserving Pill】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Tong clan's spell-craft talent and Soul-Returning Pill (only one of the two may be chosen)】

【Soul-Returning Pill: So long as the corpse is intact, taking this pill will restore one to life】

As the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking's introductions concluded, two beauties of utterly different styles appeared in the sky.

The first to appear was a slender, dashing beauty draped entirely in black.

Though she wore a black silk veil, the skin exposed outside was tender and snow-white.

Glistening as jade, fair as snow.

Her lovely eyes seemed to possess the magic of bewitching souls.

Countless people in the world, men and women alike, were utterly spellbound.

This was Mu Wanqing.

Behind her, Yin Tianxue stepped into view.

Yin Tianxue was the exact opposite of Mu Wanqing, dressed entirely in white.

She resembled the snow lotus of Tianshan, sacred and solitary.

Her delicate, pitiful, frail appearance made one yearn to cherish and protect her.

Yet in her movements, she revealed unmatched wisdom and decisive brilliance.

She was truly beautiful and formidable.

One was like a thorned black rose,

the other like the sacred, proud snow lotus of Tianshan.

Ninety-nine percent of the people across the Nine Provinces felt they had fallen in love.

As Jin Guang slowly faded and the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List closed, the void sank into silence.

Yet the people of the Nine Provinces remained entranced by these two peerlessly radiant beauties, unable to tear themselves away.

……

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

"Qinglongdian?"

Qin Huang Hearing Ying Zheng, who had previously dismissed the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, broke precedent by repeatedly reading Mu Wanqing's profile.

During the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List's description of Mu Wanqing,

it revealed too many secrets of the Qinglong Society.

Foremost among them, naturally, was Qinglongdian!

In the past, the three great dynasties and countless factions had pondered:

Where exactly was the headquarters of the Qinglong Society?

Now the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List had given the answer: Qinglongdian!

After all, it would be strange if Ximen Wudi's servant did not reside at the headquarters.

Moreover, the very name "Qinglongdian" laid bare the truth.

"Quickly, send out all spies to find Qinglongdian."

A powerful enemy is not terrifying.

What is terrifying is an enemy who is powerful, mysterious, and whose location is unknown.

Since Qinglongdian should be the headquarters of the Qinglong Society, how could Hearing Ying Zheng let it slip away?

"As Your Majesty commands."

Zhao Gao and Zhang Han immediately received the order.

They too wanted to know where the legendary headquarters of the Qinglong Society lay.

"Your Majesty!"
