Chapter 849

Guan Yutian nodded, then gave a disdainful smile and said indifferently:

"This Soul-Searching Palace can indeed be considered a formidable enemy, but we are not people to be trifled with."

"Just watch and see. Before long, the Supreme Alliance will become a major power capable of standing on equal footing with the Soul-Searching Palace."

Upon hearing these words, Ren Qianxing immediately revealed a look of astonishment.

Standing on equal footing with the Soul-Searching Palace?

He had not expected Guan Yutian to have such great ambition, and judging by his expression, he seemed extremely confident.

"Could it be that the Alliance Master still has some hidden cards?"

Ren Qianxing could not help but ask.

Guan Yutian smiled mysteriously and transmitted his voice: "This matter is the supreme secret of the Remnant Clan of the Demon Sword; it is not to be spoken of to outsiders. When the time is ripe, you will naturally know."

These words made Ren Qianxing's spirits soar.

The secret of the Remnant Clan of the Demon Sword!

This could not help but make him think of the fact that the various sects of the Jianghu had been hunting down the Remnant Clan of the Demon Sword for five hundred years.

Sure enough!

The secret of the Remnant Clan of the Demon Sword was far from being as simple as just mastering the two Saint-grade ultimate arts, "Innate Gang Qi" and "One Sword Separates the World."

Behind it lay an even more terrifying secret.

Thinking this, Ren Qianxing could not help but reveal a look of anticipation.

……

Private room seven in the North District.

"This Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace is truly terrifying."

Jian Chen could not help but exclaim.

He recalled the words Wu Ming had previously spoken: "The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace is the strongest person he has ever seen in his life."

Now, he finally believed it.

This Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace was absolutely one of the most terrifying existences in the Great Han Jianghu.

In contrast, Wu Ming revealed a look of worry.

As someone who had crossed paths with the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, he knew the situation of this Palace Master very well.

This person not only possessed great strength but also harbored unimaginably terrifying ambition.

If there were truly no one capable of suppressing him, the Jianghu would inevitably face a catastrophe.

Thinking this, Wu Ming could not help but gaze toward the white jade platform.

Now, he could only hope that Su Chen would expose some other hidden powerhouse who harbored justice.

……

"Ding!"

"The host has exposed a world-shaking secret in the casual talk, triggering shock throughout the venue. Specially rewarding 400,000 popularity points."

"Storytelling popularity has exceeded 23,577,000 points."

"The host has cumulatively obtained two Purple-Gold Lottery Cards, three Platinum Lottery Cards, five Gold Lottery Cards, seven Silver Lottery Cards, and seven Bronze Lottery Cards."

"Please keep up the good work, host."

Listening to the system notification, Su Chen's lips could not help but curl upward slightly.

The value of this Semi-Saint Ranking was indeed incomparable to the Martial Emperor Ranking.

Almost every time a Semi-Saint was exposed, it triggered a popularity point reward.

After all, these figures on the Semi-Saint Ranking were basically hidden existences within the Jianghu.

Thinking this, Su Chen became even more motivated. He unfurled his Autumn Moon Fan and said in a loud voice:

"Next, let us comment on the next Semi-Saint on the list."

"Sixth place on the Semi-Saint Ranking, Ice Emperor."

"Like the Divine General, this person also comes from a hidden faction unknown to the Jianghu."

"It is just that the Divine General belongs to the Soul-Searching Palace, while this Ice Emperor comes from the Tianmen."

"Since childhood, he possessed extraordinary martial talent and was chosen by that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen, who took him in as an indoor disciple."

"The Ice Emperor did not disappoint the ancient cultivator's hopes; with the help of the incomplete 'Saint Heart Art,' he cultivated into the Immortal Dao and lived for over two hundred years."

"Furthermore, he also cultivated another ultimate art created by the ancient cultivator, 'Snow Blood Claw,' to the realm of Great Completion; his strength is unfathomable."

"The ancient cultivator entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, letting him govern the 'Ease Earth Realm' among the Heaven, Earth, and Man realms of the Tianmen."

"Thirty years ago, his cultivation had already reached the limit of a Semi-Saint, infinitely close to the realm of a Quasi-Saint."

"He could be called the strongest in the Tianmen second only to that ancient cultivator."

"But like the Divine General, he loved too deeply, and because of this, he harmed himself."

"The Divine General had a one-sided love for Xue Yuan, while this Ice Emperor was enamored with a woman named Xiao Shi."

"But this Xiao Shi was no simple character; she actually incited the Ice Emperor to challenge the ancient cultivator and take his place."

"The Ice Emperor was bewitched by Xiao Shi and actually agreed to do so, going to challenge the ancient cultivator."

"But the gap in strength between him and the ancient cultivator was like the difference between heaven and earth."

"After only a few rounds, the Ice Emperor was defeated by that ancient cultivator and frozen in the Nine-Layer Ice Prison."

"Within the Tianmen, experts are as numerous as clouds; one more or one less Ice Emperor makes no difference."

"Plus, the ancient cultivator was fully planning a major event and completely forgot about the Ice Emperor."

"So, the Ice Emperor was frozen just like that for a full thirty years."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall was once again in an uproar.

The sixth place on the Semi-Saint Ranking was actually the Ice Emperor!

Following the Divine General, the top expert under the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, this top expert under the Tianmen Master had also forcefully made the list.

This person was also the third cultivator exposed from the Tianmen so far.

Strong!

Simply too strong!

The three major hidden factions of the Great Han Jianghu that currently made everyone feel the most terrified all had powerhouses on the Semi-Saint Ranking.

The King of Scriptures of the Demon Heart Palace, the Divine General of the Soul-Searching Palace, and Luo Xian and the Ice Emperor of the Tianmen.

This forcefully proved that these three factions were indeed worthy of being the top factions of the Great Han Jianghu, which no one could shake.

Factions like the World Association, the Supreme Alliance, and Wushuang City were also very powerful.

But compared to these three hidden factions, they were still a notch lower.

Especially the Tianmen, which actually produced two Semi-Saints on the list, both of whom were cultivators.

Plus that unfathomable ancient cultivator.

Everyone simply could not imagine that such a terrifying faction as the Tianmen still existed in the present world.

And the strength of that ancient cultivator had once again been proven.

First defeating the Semi-Saint invincible Nu Fenglei, then defeating the Ice Emperor at the limit of a Semi-Saint; this battle record was simply brilliant to the point of exploding.

Thinking that there were two Semi-Saints sealed in the Tianmen right now, and both had been frozen for thirty years, everyone felt a sense of scalp-numbing dread.

In an instant, the entire hall exploded, and everyone discussed it endlessly:

"... So terrifying! The Tianmen actually has another Semi-Saint cultivator on the list; two Semi-Saints in one sect, it's truly unbelievable."

"If it weren't for Mr. Su saying it himself, it would be hard to believe that such a terrifying faction as the Tianmen organization still exists in the world."

"Think about our Great Ming Jianghu; the entire Jianghu only has one Semi-Saint, Pang Ban the Demon Master, yet the Tianmen has two Semi-Saints in a single sect."

"I feel that the Tianmen has far more than these two Semi-Saints; perhaps there are other powerhouses with Semi-Saint cultivation who haven't had the chance to make the list!"

"That's right! Now it seems that the number of Semi-Saints in the Great Han Jianghu is far more than ten; at the very least, there are still Semi-Saints in the Tianmen who haven't made the list."

"This Ice Emperor is also stupid; to actually raise a hand against his own master for a woman, he is simply overestimating his own strength."

"The ancient cultivator is also ruthless; an expert like the Ice Emperor, he seals him just like that, and for a full thirty years."

"Sure enough, the land of gentleness is the hero's grave; even an expert like the Ice Emperor cannot escape the attraction of a beauty."

"The Ice Emperor is already an expert at the limit of a Semi-Saint and is ranked sixth on the Semi-Saint Ranking; does that mean the top five Semi-Saints are all Quasi-Saints?"

"Does the Great Han Jianghu have a full five Quasi-Saints? Truly terrifying! The Great Sui is called the Cultivation World, yet it only has two Quasi-Saints."

"I now admit that the Great Han Jianghu is indeed far stronger than other Jianghus; just the number of Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints alone is probably enough to equal the sum of all other Jianghus."

"I wonder if the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, the Demon Master of the Demon Heart Palace, and the Master of the Tianmen will appear on the Semi-Saint Ranking?"

"The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and the Master of the Tianmen can suppress Semi-Saint experts so easily; they must have reached the Martial Saint realm, though the Demon Master cannot be determined yet."
