Chapter 66

Intent on dying, yet facing Ximen Wudi's demonic gaze.

For a moment, she didn't even have the courage to take her own life.

Silence fell for a while.

Zhao Min slowly lowered her head, her face a picture of humiliation and unwillingness, and said softly.

"Mas... Master."

"Mm." Ximen Wudi replied indifferently.

On the other side.

After Master Hua Xi's introduction.

He came to understand the Mission Hall, the Scripture Pavilion, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Pill Tower, and the Qinglong Society's point system.

The lingering hesitation deep in Zhang Sanfeng's heart instantly vanished — this was truly wonderful!

He had not expected.

That the Qinglong Society's operating model would be so unique!

Especially that point system!

As long as one took missions at the Mission Hall or contributed to the Qinglong Society, one could earn points.

Then use those points to exchange for divine weapons, cultivation techniques, and miraculous pills.

Anyone with sense would spare no effort in doing the Qinglong Society's bidding!

Not to mention the terrifying punishment for failed missions!!

Not only him.

Even Yaoyue and Lianxing, who had already prepared themselves somewhat, were equally shocked at this moment!

Their dumbfounded expressions, unable to recover for a long time.

Where was the aloof, otherworldly air the jianghu rumors spoke of!

046 - Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Ranking - Eleventh Place! (Begging for flowers, begging for tips)

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

Five days had already passed since Zhang Sanfeng paid his respects to Ximen Wudi.

As time fermented.

And after being spread by countless jianghu people.

The news of the battle at Mount Wudang and the Great Ming jianghu sects being slaughtered by more than half.

Swept across the entire Nine Provinces like a gale!

Li Taibai inevitably became the talk of countless people in their leisure time!

Even many respectable ladies and jianghu heroines had clearly become his little fans!

If Li Taibai were willing, a mere beckoning would likely have countless women crying and throwing themselves at him, offering themselves!

Of course.

If even Li Taibai had so many fans.

Then Ximen Wudi, the Grand Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, a mysterious and powerful forbidden existence.

Naturally had no shortage of admiration and pursuit from countless young ladies!

Unfortunately.

Let alone meeting him in person!

Even his true appearance remained a mystery to this day!

But precisely because of this, more people grew curious about his real face!

Besides this.

The very name "Qinglong Society" had also become a taboo that countless jianghu people turned pale at the mention of!

No other reason.

Mainly because the sheer scale and slaughter the Qinglong Society displayed was truly too dreadful to mention lightly!

Fearing that one careless slip would make them a soul beneath the blade!

Setting this matter aside.

Two other matters also sparked endless discussion.

Because of the Heavenly Dao Golden List's exposure.

The Sunflower Manual had for a time become a coveted divine art among the great dynasties!

So much so that the great dynasties, numerous small nations, and even some top powers had sent many skilled fighters to the Great Song.

Attempting to obtain the Sunflower Manual!

It must be mentioned.

Some forces that had suffered setbacks in the Great Song Dynasty.

After failing to gain any benefit, turned instead toward the Great Ming's Black Wood Cliff!

This time, it was Dongfang Bubai who suffered!

Already injured by Li Canghai for declaring love to Ximen Wudi.

Before the wounds had even healed, she was met with these dynasty organizations and top powers coming to her door.

Even though she was a Grandmaster expert capable of fighting across ranks against early-stage Peerless.

Faced with the experts dispatched by these terrifying existences.

She could only temporarily avoid their sharpness, vanishing from the world's sight, whereabouts unknown!

Another matter.

It was about the Great Yuan Empire.

Upon learning that the Qinglong Society had annihilated five thousand elite troops of the Great Yuan, executed three high-level experts, and kidnapped the princess.

People across the world eagerly wondered how Emperor Tie Muzhen would react.

Yet.

After many days passed.

The Great Yuan Empire remained utterly silent.

This shocked people not only with the Qinglong Society's terror.

But also turned the Great Yuan Empire into a laughingstock among the people of the Nine Continents.

Especially those unruly martial artists of the Jianghu.

Whenever they spoke of this matter, they wore expressions of disdain.

Just as the Jianghu of the Nine Continents grew wildly lively.

Above the void.

The Heavenly Dao Golden List also seemed unwilling to remain silent.

After lying dormant for some time, it suddenly blazed with brilliant light.

Then, beneath countless gazes filled with anticipation, a series of small characters slowly appeared.

【Nine Continents Combat Ceiling Ranking — 11th Place: Yuan Tiangang, Cultivation: mid-stage Heavenly Being.】

【Identity: Imperial Advisor of the Great Tang, Bu Liang Ren.】

【Bu Liang Ren, real name Yuan Tiangang, supreme leader of the Great Tang's Bu Liang Ren organization, concurrently serving as the Great Tang's Imperial Advisor.】

【In his youth, he suffered poverty and hardship, favored the cultivation of the Longsheng art, excelled in physiognomy and divination, and mastered his family's secret technique, the Yuan Tiangang Scripture.】

【Upon achieving success in his cultivation, he traveled alone to Chang'an, specializing in fortune-telling for others — ten divinations per day, each one miraculously accurate.】

【Later, by chance, he caught the attention of the Tang Huang's ancestor, who appointed him as Imperial Advisor.】

【Because the Tang Huang yearned for immortality, he was tasked with crafting the Elixir of Immortality.】

【But the elixir was flawed; during his own trial, his face was destroyed, leaving only a skull-like visage, still unrecovered to this day!】

【Since then, he has worn a mask forged from black iron and always dons a straw cape and hat, never revealing his true face.】

【Notably, when the Heavenly Dao Golden List revealed the 17th place, he once attempted to divine the information of the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi.】

【But merely the four characters "Ximen Wudi" contained supreme terror, terrifying him into instantly abandoning the idea and henceforth avoiding all mention of the Qinglong Society with deep dread!】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Martial genius, master of esoteric arts, the Mythical Realm is attainable!】
