Chapter 126

Just as Ma Yu was hesitating, a gust of wind suddenly poured into the main hall.

The next moment, an old Daoist was already standing firmly in the hall.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were startled at first, but when they saw the person's face clearly, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Master!!"

The seven were shocked beyond measure; the person in front of them was actually the long-dead Wang Wang Chongyang.

The tear stains on the old Daoist's eyes had not yet dried, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't need to discuss it anymore; I will go to Peach Blossom Island myself."

He had already read the book and was extremely angry at what Huang Huang Yaoshi had done.

Since you imprisoned Zhou Zhou Botong for fifteen years, then I will go and burn down your Peach Blossom Island.

Ma Yu stood up and said: "Was Master just faking his death last time?"

Wang Wang Chongyang said plainly: "That breath-holding secret technique isn't something that can only be used once, so why can't I use it again?"

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were all speechless; this Master was too mischievous, always faking his death at the drop of a hat.

However, seeing the book in Wang Wang Chongyang's hand, they gained some understanding.

Lin Lin Chaoying's death was clearly a huge blow to Wang Wang Chongyang, and he no longer had any attachment to the mortal world.

Now that Wang Wang Chongyang had agreed to go to Peach Blossom Island himself, the few of them could breathe a sigh of relief.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Great Ming Dynasty, Xue Family Manor.

In the deepest cultivation chamber, Xue Xue Yiren slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was not circulating any sword techniques, yet his body radiated a powerful sword Qi that made one's whole body feel cold.

Although he had sealed his sword and retired for ten years, he had not stopped practicing sword arts.

His current sword Dao cultivation was many times stronger than when he roamed the world back then.

"A pity."

Xue Xue Yiren thought of Xie Lu Xiaofeng and couldn't help but sigh.

If Xie Lu Xiaofeng were still alive, he would definitely go to challenge him again to see who would win and who would lose.

While thinking, Xue Xue Yiren had already tidied his clothes and pushed the door to walk out of the chamber.

Outside the chamber, the butler had long been waiting there.

Seeing Xue Xue Yiren come out of seclusion, the butler immediately stepped forward and said excitedly: "Master, you have finally come out of seclusion; something big has happened in the Jianghu recently."

"Oh? What big thing?"

Xue Xue Yiren asked casually.

He had long since stopped caring about matters in the Jianghu.

"Master, look at this book."

"A storyteller named Su Chen ranked a Great Ming Sword God List and placed you in seventh place."

The butler said while handing the book up.

"Seventh place?"

Xue Xue Yiren sneered, instantly losing interest in the book.

He just assumed it was a list made up by some bored Jianghu person.

If he were young, he would definitely have taken his sword to the storyteller's door and stabbed him three times, leaving six holes.

But now that his temper had faded, he just took it as a bit of fun.

But after taking the book and glancing at it, Xue Xue Yiren's expression instantly froze.

"Xie Lu Xiaofeng? He's not dead yet? And he's ranked fourth on the Sword God List?"

Xue Xue Yiren couldn't believe his eyes.

"Master, you don't know."

"Recently, this Mr. Su from *Snow* has become very famous in the Jianghu, and it is rumored that he has the ability of divine foresight."

"According to Mr. Su's commentary, Xie Lu Xiaofeng faked his death back then."

"It was only because he met a stronger mysterious Sword God during a trip to Dongting Lake."

The butler explained.

"A stronger mysterious Sword God? Could there really be a swordsman in the Great Ming who can surpass Xie Lu Xiaofeng?"

Xue Xue Yiren became interested and asked: "When is the next issue?"

"Uh, Mr. Su speaks every five days, and the next issue seems to be today."

The butler thought for a moment and said.

"Today? Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

Xue Xue Yiren rolled his eyes in anger.

"Master was in seclusion, so this servant didn't dare to disturb you."

The butler said, feeling very aggrieved.

"Forget it, forget it."

"You go to the bookstore and wait there now."

"When the latest issue of the book arrives, buy a copy immediately and bring it back."

Xue Xue Yiren waved his hand and said.

"This servant obeys, I will go to the bookstore now."

The butler said, and was about to leave.

"Wait. Is Xue Xiaoren in the manor?"

Xue Xue Yiren called the butler to stop and asked.

"The Second Master went out early in the morning and didn't say what he was busy with."

The butler replied truthfully.

"Hmph! His sword skills are sloppy, yet he doesn't know how to practice hard; he really is worrying."

Xue Xue Yiren said, feeling that he couldn't live up to his expectations.

"It's just that the First Master has too high requirements for the Second Master."

"In the past ten years, all those swordsmen who came to challenge us were sent away by the Second Master."

"Now in the Guannan area, only the Xue Family Manor is supreme; this is all the Second Master's management achievement."

The butler tried to speak for Xue Xiaoren.

"What is a mere family business?"

"As a swordsman, if you cannot focus on the sword, then you will have no chance to reach the peak of the sword Dao in this life."

Xue Xue Yiren said disdainfully.

The butler could only smile bitterly and shake his head, feeling sad for Xue Xiaoren.

Having such a powerful and strict brother is both a great fortune and a misfortune.

At this very moment.

Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.

The hall was already packed with people, and all kinds of discussions were endless.

For those in the Jianghu, these five days had been too exciting.

The announcement of the Great Ming Beauty List and the last seven places on the Sword God List provided them with a lot of topics for conversation.

Especially Jing Jing Wuming, a swordsman who was previously unknown, became famous all over the world because he made it onto the Sword God List.

For several days in a row, challengers were endless.

And this Jing Jing Wuming also refused no one, accepting all challenges.

In three days, he fought seventeen famous sword masters of the Jianghu.

Eleven of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining six were all seriously injured.

The six injured included Guo Guo Songyang, the fourth-ranked Guo Songyang Iron Sword on the *Weapon Manual*.

Such an astonishing record instantly made other challengers shrink back.

At the same time, it pushed the fame of the Sword God List to a peak that no one could reach.
