Chapter 674

Good!

Though the Grand Dragon Leader had never met Wu Wudi, he had even guessed Wu Wudi's personality and behavioral traits clearly.

He knew that Wu Wudi's first reaction upon learning of this mission hall would be to go accept a mission.

For this, he had even lost a piece of jade to Ximen Wudi.

Thinking of this, Dugu Jian couldn't help but find it amusing.

The outside world all thought Ximen Wudi was the foremost taboo of the Nine Provinces, a cold, proud, unapproachable supreme expert.

But in reality, after spending a long time with the Grand Dragon Leader, one would know that the Grand Dragon Leader was cold-faced but warm-hearted.

At least the time in the Sword Realm was one of the few joyful and fulfilling periods of Dugu Jian's life.

After savoring it for a while, seeing Wu Wudi look over, Dugu Jian continued,

"Brother Wu, have you forgotten there's still a second method?"

"Eh? Oh, right!"

Wu Wudi actually scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He really had been too hasty, having actually forgotten that what he'd just said was only the first method.

"The second method is actually also rather difficult.

According to the Grand Dragon Leader, the so-called Blood Curse appears to have been placed by Yun Dingtian before his death.

In reality, it is related to the Monk Emperor or Wu Hui the Blood Ancestor!

Find Wu Hui the Blood Ancestor, and defeat him, and you can obtain from him the method to break the Blood Curse."

Dugu Jian frowned as he spoke the second method.

Actually, at first glance, the second method was even more outlandish than the first.

After all, Ximen Wudi clearly already knew where Yun Dingtian was.

It was just that Wu Wudi himself couldn't go there.

In the second method, according to Di Shitian's account, Wu Hui the Blood Ancestor had suddenly vanished.

In the battle with Yun Dingtian, this Blood Ancestor, who was equally renowned as the Monk Emperor, had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Apart from Yun Dingtian possibly knowing, even the Monk Emperor might not necessarily know.

Wu Wudi carefully sorted through that story, and couldn't help raising this question.

"After Wu Hui the Blood Ancestor was defeated by Yun Dingtian, he actually fled far to the State of Fuyu, hiding in a certain place.

Don't be anxious now either; the Grand Dragon Leader said that in not too long, the State of Fuyu will pop out on its own.

When that time comes, the Qinglong Society will definitely take action.

Then you can go with the flow—first, complete the Qinglong Society mission and earn mission points.

Second, head to the State of Fuyu and find Wu Hui the Blood Ancestor!"

Dugu Jian said slowly.

The State of Fuyu is in the northeast of Yunzhou, facing Dongying across the sea.

After the return, Fuyu borders the Great Qing.

"Good!"

Wu Wudi felt this was also killing two birds with one stone, and immediately agreed.

Next came Senior Xiaoyaozi formally recommending Wu Wudi into the Society.

Afterwards, he summoned Zhang Sanfeng, Water God Ancestor Bu Qian, Xiao Jingtian, Xiao Aoshi, and others who were still atop the Qinglong Peak.

Except for the Second Dragon Leader Ling Donglai and the Sixth Dragon Leader Zhang Daoling, who were in closed-door cultivation.

Almost all the other high-level members of the Qinglong Society were present.

Hearing that the person before them was also named Wudi, everyone was astonished.

In these times, those who dared to be called Wudi were few.

But after chatting with him for a while, whether it was Zhang Sanfeng or the Xiao brothers, they all felt his martial dao was indeed the highest they had seen besides Ximen Wudi.

The friendship of martial artists was just this swift and pure.

Because they knew Wu Wudi's realm, everyone gradually became familiar with one another.

After Jiang Yuyan heard that Wu Wudi was, so to speak, personally ordered by Ximen Wudi to be recruited into the Qinglong Society.

She even ordered Miss Baoqin to personally cook, preparing a whole table of wine and dishes for everyone.

Although most of these wines and dishes were ordinary things.

Yet it was unknown what secret Miss Baoqin had obtained, for she actually made ordinary things not only delicious.

Among them, some dishes—even Wu Wudi ate them and found they could not only satisfy the palate but also raise his strength a tiny bit.

Although the boost within them was truly very small.

Still, Wu Wudi was thoroughly content.

He immediately began chatting loudly with everyone while also scrambling for Miss Baoqin's wine and dishes.

One meal was eaten to the satisfaction of both hosts and guests.

As they chatted, they gradually got around to talking about each other's origins.

Hearing that Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi were precisely the descendants of Turtle Blood and the sons of Xiao Sanxiao.

Wu Wudi couldn't help being utterly astonished, and said,

"Could it be that Xiao Sanxiao has also joined the Qinglong Society?"

Although Xiao Sanxiao was like a divine dragon showing its head but never its tail, Wu Wudi had also heard his legends and had met him several times.

As for strength, Wu Wudi admitted he had never fought him, and didn't know who would win or lose.

But Xiao Sanxiao's strength was enough to make Wu Wudi get serious.

"Er! Wu Gong, although Xiao Sanxiao did indeed agree to serve the Grand Longshou for a thousand years, but…"

Senior Xiaoyaozi felt rather awkward.

He had known about this matter back then as well.

The Grand Longshou hadn't taken Xiao Sanxiao in; he'd only let him do a thousand years' worth of work for the Qinglong Society and that was that.

The key problem was that ever since Xiao Sanxiao went down the mountain, there had been no news of him at all.

The last word was that he had gone to the East Sea to "teach a lesson" to two unfilial sons.

But now no trace of Xiao Sanxiao could be seen in the East Sea, nor was there any news of him anywhere across the Nine Provinces.

A master on par with Wu Wudi had seemingly vanished from the face of the earth.

The entire Qinglong Society had been searching for traces of Xiao Sanxiao.

Only the Grand Longshou, from what Dugu Jian implied, wasn't curious in the slightest — as if he knew where Xiao Sanxiao had gone, he simply wouldn't say.

"But that old bastard has disappeared!"

Xiao Jingtian, blunt by nature, said through gritted teeth.

When he and his younger brother Xiao Aoshi had joined the Qinglong Society, their original and most important goal had been to have the Grand Longshou Ximen Wudi help the two brothers teach Xiao Sanxiao a lesson.

It was only after joining the Qinglong Society that they found out — well, would you look at that — Xiao Sanxiao had also agreed to serve the Grand Longshou for a thousand years, he had simply vanished.

Fortunately, the two of them hadn't gained nothing at all, and had always felt glad to have joined the Qinglong Society!

High above the vault of heaven, the Heavenly Dao Golden List radiated divine brilliance ten thousand zhang high.

Then the divine brilliance flared mightily, in the blink of an eye spreading across the entire Nine Provinces.

Countless people craned their necks in anticipation, looking forward to the contents of this Heavenly Dao Golden List.

After all, from this moment on, the Heavenly Dao Golden List was officially entering its twentieth rank!

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List — Twentieth Rank: Di Yi Xiehuang, Cultivation: mid-stage Mythical.】

【Identity: Founder of the Demonic Blade, First Person of the Blade Dao in Yunzhou】

【From the moment Di Yi Xiehuang was born, he was dazzlingly brilliant】

【From the age of four, he was versed in every one of the four arts — qin, chess, calligraphy, painting — and master of them all】

【That wasn't all — whatever he studied, he was bound to become the strongest in it, even the very best】

【Starting at seven, he took up blade arts, and succeeded in surpassing the father of the Second Blade Emperor】

【Winning that man's praise: "In twenty years, the strongest person beneath heaven's blade dao"】

【Starting at ten, he took up sword arts, causing Jian Sect's Sect Master Jian Hui to sigh with feeling】

【"If Pojun had such strength and talent, he could close his eyes in peace"】
