Chapter 856

Terrifying!

As Su Chen's voice fell, a sound of gasping rang out in the hall.

Although the final result had not yet been revealed, it was already eighty percent certain.

The person who imprisoned Shenxing Taibao was exactly the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace.

And the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace had also received Su Chen's official certification as a Martial Saint realm expert!

This was no ordinary matter.

Although everyone had been guessing, the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace was the first to be personally confirmed by Su Chen as being in the Martial Saint realm!

In other words, the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace was the first Martial Saint of the present age in the Great Han.

And judging by his ability to imprison Shenxing Taibao, his martial arts attainments were probably not limited to an ordinary Martial Saint.

Especially after hearing Su Chen's introduction to the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

This Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace was clearly not a kind person and had the intention of launching a Jianghu catastrophe.

At the same time, he had his own rules.

That was to enter the Jianghu every thirty years and choose three absolute top figures in the Jianghu to challenge.

If he won all three matches, he would destroy the Great Han Jianghu.

If he failed even one match, he would retreat to the Soul-Searching Palace and go into seclusion for another thirty years without coming out.

This was the first time everyone had heard of such an eccentric rule, and they could not understand the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace's train of thought.

But this did not matter, because only the strong had the right to set rules; the weak could only obey.

With the Martial Saint strength of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, wanting to destroy the Great Han Jianghu was by no means empty talk.

Although the Great Han Jianghu was very strong, it was still vulnerable before a Martial Saint expert.

For example, the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian from five hundred years ago.

If it hadn't been for the Chess Saint Sword Ancestor, who was also a Martial Saint, stopping him, he would have almost destroyed the Great Han Jianghu.

Therefore, all the experts of the Great Han Jianghu could do was obey the rules of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and win one of the three matches.

Competing in martial arts strength, absolutely no one was the opponent of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace; competing in chess skills was the only glimmer of hope.

But Su Chen's subsequent words made everyone feel despair.

The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace had actually integrated martial arts into chess, setting up a martial arts chess formation!

In other words, wanting to defeat the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace in chess required not only superb chess skills but also extremely strong martial arts attainments.

Who could withstand this?

However, this commentary solved a doubt in everyone's hearts.

That was why the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace no longer took action against Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Previously, when Su Chen commented on Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, everyone felt puzzled.

These two had offended the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and even snatched away fifty percent of the Palace Master's Heaven Extreme Moha Wuliang internal energy, yet they were still alive.

One had to know that they were not hiding their names, but were rising in fame in the Great Han Jianghu.

Why didn't the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace seek revenge on them after suffering such a big loss in the Soul-Searching Palace battle?

Now the reason was finally clear.

It was clearly because the thirty-year period had not yet arrived, and the rule set by the Soul-Searching Palace itself could not be broken by leaving the Soul-Searching Palace.

This could also be considered lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet.

At the same time, Su Chen's commentary also revealed two world-shaking secrets.

The first was that sixty years ago, the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace also entered the Jianghu but suffered a major defeat and retreated to the Soul-Searching Palace.

The second was that thirty years ago, the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace entered the Jianghu for the second time and also encountered setbacks; otherwise, how could there have been thirty years of peace?

This made people somewhat curious.

With the strength of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, who could have stopped him sixty years ago?

And thirty years ago, in the three matches of chess skills, who eventually defeated the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace?

Some people even associated this with Su Chen's previous commentary on the Divine General.

Because of a world-shaking battle sixty years ago, the Divine General was blasted into a glacier by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and frozen for a full sixty years.

Could this world-shaking battle be related to the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace entering the Jianghu?

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

"Haha, I knew it; the expert who imprisoned Shenxing Taibao must be one of the three: the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, the Master of the Tianmen, or the Demon Master of the Demon Heart Palace."

"I said before, with the strength shown by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, he must have reached the Martial Saint realm."

"How terrifying the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace is; he truly has Martial Saint realm cultivation. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid the Master of the Tianmen is also a Martial Saint."

"Shenxing Taibao was still too careless; he didn't expect that such a terrifying existence as the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace still existed in the world."

"With Shenxing Taibao's strength at the time, he was indeed qualified to play chess against the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace; it's just a pity that his strength was ultimately insufficient."

"Martial Saint experts can already comprehend the principles of heaven and earth; wanting to defeat the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace's martial arts chess formation is easier said than done."

"Unexpectedly, this Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace is an extremely evil person who wants to launch a Jianghu catastrophe; it's simply too terrifying."

"In this way, sixty years ago and thirty years ago, the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace entered the Jianghu twice and was stopped by someone?"

"I don't know who stopped the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace; although this person is nameless, he is the hero of the entire Great Han Jianghu!"

"That's right! With the strength of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, if he really launched a Jianghu catastrophe, the momentum would probably not be beneath that of the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian back then."

"Could it be that the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace met the Master of the Tianmen, or the Demon Master of the Demon Heart Palace? I feel only these two could stop him."

"This Great Han Jianghu is simply too dangerous; it's equivalent to experiencing a life-and-death test every thirty years."

"Heavens! The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace last entered the Jianghu thirty years ago; doesn't that mean this year is the time for him to enter the Jianghu again?"

"Danger! Danger! Danger! The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace is about to enter the Jianghu again; that is a Martial Saint expert."

……

Private room two in the East District.

Taixuan Zhenren revealed an interested expression.

Finally, another Martial Saint had appeared, and a Martial Saint of the Great Han Jianghu at that.

Just listening to Su Chen's description, one could know that this Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace was absolutely extraordinary.

"Interesting. The Great Han Soul-Searching Palace, eh? This old Daoist really hasn't heard of this sect."

"If there is a chance, I must go and ask for some advice."

Taixuan Zhenren said with a slight smile, focusing his attention even more on the white jade platform.

His intuition told him that this Great Han Jianghu definitely had more than one Martial Saint expert besides the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace.

……

Private room five in the West District.

Shi Feixuan said softly: "No wonder Mr. Su said this Great Han Jianghu is very dangerous and even Martial Emperors cannot protect themselves; it really has its reasons."

"Yes! This Great Han Jianghu is truly terrifying."

"According to the rules set by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, he enters the Jianghu every thirty years."

"It's equivalent to the Great Han Jianghu having to experience a life-and-death test every thirty years; who could bear this?"

"And this Soul-Searching Palace Master is a Martial Saint expert; even if those righteous paths want to get rid of him, they can't."

"It's also thanks to the Great Han Jianghu having experts as numerous as clouds that they have been able to block the ambition of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace every time."

Hou Xibai shook his head and said.

Even as a disciple of the Evil King, he felt this Great Han Jianghu was too dangerous and not a place for people to stay.
