Chapter 859

That Shenxing Taibao was an expert with Quasi-Saint cultivation and light-body movement technique surpassing Martial Saints.

To be easily defeated and imprisoned in the Soul-Searching Palace by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace just like that.

This made everyone curious.

Two consecutive chess matches ended in failure.

Then who would be the third person chosen by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace?

Under heaven, who could have the strength to break the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace's martial arts chess formation?

In an instant, everyone in the hall began to discuss it:

"Heavens! Unexpectedly, the person who stopped the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace sixty years ago was the Demon Master; this is the great savior of the Jianghu."

"I said before, the only ones in the entire Jianghu who could stop the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace were the Demon Master and the Master of the Tianmen."

"Previously, I thought the Demon Master hadn't reached the Martial Saint realm; I've been slapped in the face. Unexpectedly, the old 'man' is actually this powerful."

"The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and the Demon Master are both Martial Saint experts; then the ancient cultivator of the Tianmen should also be a Martial Saint, right?"

"Unexpectedly, the East God Gang back then was wiped out by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace; I thought it was the Supreme Alliance and the Sea Shark Palace joining forces."

"This Xiongba's destiny is truly formidable; the East God Gang, the Supreme Alliance, the Sea Shark Palace, and the Sword Sect all knelt before him."

"Look at who Xiongba's disciples are; the successor of the Nie Clan of the nine great clans and the 'God' of the Bu Clan Divine Race are both his disciples."

"It's a pity! Xiongba's destiny is almost at an end, otherwise Wushuang City would have to kneel too."

"The dragon's roar in the nine heavens startles the changes in the sky; the wind and clouds meet, swimming in shallow water. Xiongba's invincible path is probably at an end here."

"I'm saying, why have I never heard of the Semi-Saints on this Great Han Semi-Saint Ranking? It turns out most of them are imprisoned."

"Who could have thought that a figure like Shenxing Taibao would also encounter such a miserable situation? Beneath the Martial Saint realm, all are ants."

"Who do you guess will be the person who defeats the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace in the third match? Won't it still be the Demon Master?"

"I guess it's that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen; this person is the truly unfathomable one."

……

Private room eight in the West District.

Guan Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly.

The East God Gang thirty years ago was actually wiped out by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace.

This solved a doubt in his heart.

But thinking that the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and this Demon Master were both Martial Saint realm experts, his expression turned cold again.

Beneath the Martial Saint realm, all are ants.

Even if he had Semi-Saint realm cultivation, he had no way to contend with these few Martial Saints.

Once they fought, Nu Fenglei, the Divine General, the Ice Emperor, Shenxing Taibao, and others would be his fate.

This made Guan Yutian even more determined in his belief.

If he wanted to realize his ambition of dominating the Jianghu, he must make use of that secret.

The secret that the Remnant Clan of the Demon Sword had guarded for a full five hundred years.

……

Private room four in the East District.

Senior Senior Dugu Ming and Senior Senior Dugu Meng both gasped sharply.

"Heavens! Is the Demon Master truly a Martial Saint realm expert?"

Senior Senior Dugu Ming said with some disbelief.

Ren Mianshi laughed: "That goes without saying! Otherwise, a rebellious figure like the King of Scriptures would have rebelled against the Demon Master long ago."

Upon hearing these words, Senior Senior Dugu Ming and Senior Senior Dugu Meng had no more doubts.

The Demon Master was indeed a Martial Saint expert.

Now they understood Senior Dugu Yifang's choice back then.

At that time, Senior Dugu Yifang had at most high-level Martial Emperor cultivation; even adding Senior Dugu Sword Saint, they could not possibly be the Demon Master's opponent.

With such strength, the Demon Master was indeed worthy of being called the number one expert of the Great Han Demon Sect.

"Now, are you willing to let the World Association merge into the Demon Heart Palace?"

Ren Mianshi said indifferently.

Senior Senior Dugu Ming pondered: "Since the Demon Master has such strength, my World Association should naturally follow his lead!"

This was also the result of his careful consideration.

The Great Han Jianghu was simply too terrifying now.

There were already two exposed Martial Saints.

Especially the ambition of the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace to launch a Jianghu catastrophe.

Once the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace really launched a Jianghu catastrophe, the World Association alone would definitely not be able to protect itself.

Relying on the Demon Heart Palace was a safe strategy.

Especially since it could be seen through various events that the Demon Master was not a cruel person.

Joining the Demon Master's command had far more advantages than disadvantages.

……

Private room six in the South District.

Luo Xian stood up in shock.

The Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and the Demon Master of the Demon Heart Palace were both Martial Saint realm experts.

This truth made her unable to believe it.

Those who followed Di Shitian knew very well how difficult it was to break through to the Martial Saint realm.

With two Martial Saints suddenly appearing in the Great Han Jianghu, let alone her, even Di Shitian would be startled.

"I must report this matter to the Master as quickly as possible."

Luo Xian thought to herself.

But besides this, there was one other thing she was very curious about.

That was the identity of the person who stopped the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace thirty years ago.

Although many people in the hall guessed that this person was the ancient cultivator of the Tianmen.

But she knew very well that Di Shitian had absolutely never met the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace, and the two sides should have had no interaction.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but gaze toward the white jade platform, waiting for Su Chen's further explanation.

……

On the white jade platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea, and until the discussion below gradually subsided, he said in a loud voice:

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

"Fourth place on the Semi-Saint Ranking, Wu Ming."

"For this Semi-Saint on the list, I presume all fellow Jianghu comrades are very familiar with him."

"Previously, when commenting on the Nine Provinces Sword God Ranking, Su mentioned that Wu Ming was adopted by the Mu family at the time and named Mu Yingming."

"But few people know Wu Ming's true background before going to the Mu family."

"In fact, Wu Ming's name is Wei Yingxiong, and this Wei family is one of the nine great clans of the Great Han Jianghu."

"The Wei family, like the Nie family where Nie Feng is, is a divine beast clan."

"The Nie family contains the bloodline of the divine beast Fire Qilin, while the Wei family contains the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix."

"The Fire Qilin bloodline focuses on attack, while the Phoenix bloodline focuses on recovery."

"So even if the people of the Wei family don't cultivate longevity methods, their lifespan far exceeds the limits of ordinary people."

"And no matter what kind of injury they receive, as long as they don't die, they can recover to normal extremely quickly; their recovery power far exceeds that of ordinary people."

"For example, Wu Ming has the reputation of 'Heavenly Sword Wu Ming, broken but not crippled'; this is the divine effect of the divine beast Phoenix bloodline."

"But this Phoenix bloodline mainly strengthens vitality and recovery power, and does not improve martial arts cultivation much."

"Therefore, although the Wei family has produced many experts throughout the generations, few have reached the absolute peak realm."

"Tracing the roots, Wu Ming also has a great connection with that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen."

"Returning to Wu Ming."

"Wu Ming was intelligent in his youth and possessed peerless martial talent, but he also had the destiny of a 'Lone Star of Heavenly Evil'."

"He grew up all the way, obtained the inheritance of the Great Sword Master, entered the Sword Sect, and cultivated to the Heavenly Sword realm, yet his closest relatives died one by one."

"Until twenty years ago, when his wife, Xiao Yu, was poisoned to death by Po Jun, Wu Ming finally collapsed internally and retired from the Jianghu."
