Chapter 861

What?

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

Wu Ming had finally made the list!

This person was the Martial Arts Myth of the Great Han Jianghu and had many admirers.

Seeing Wu Ming really make the list, and ranking as high as fourth on the Semi-Saint Ranking, these people could not help but be ecstatic.

After all, this was the Great Han Semi-Saint Ranking, a list with explosive gold content.

Being able to rank fourth meant at least Quasi-Saint realm cultivation, which would be enough to run wild in other Jianghus.

But hearing Su Chen's subsequent introduction, everyone could not help but reveal looks of shock.

Wu Ming was actually from one of the nine great clans of the Great Han Jianghu.

And he was the second divine beast clan after the Nie Clan of divine beasts, possessing the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix.

This was clearly a major secret that overturned everyone's imagination.

Before this, everyone thought Wu Ming came from the dust, but they never expected his background to be so great.

And the effect of the Phoenix bloodline was also incredibly eye-catching.

Not only could it prolong life, but it could also enhance recovery power, and no matter what kind of injury one received, it could be cured quickly.

This had a huge attraction even for ordinary people.

But hearing what followed, everyone was stunned.

Wu Ming was actually related to that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen?

What was this situation?

According to Su Chen's previous commentary, this ancient cultivator should be a very ancient existence.

Could it be that he was also a member of the Wei Clan of the divine beast Phoenix?

Or did he possess the Phoenix bloodline?

However, what shocked everyone the most was Su Chen's last sentence.

The third person chosen by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace to play against was exactly Wu Ming!

Previously, they were curious about which expert was the one who defeated the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace in the third match.

Many people guessed it would be the Demon Master, or that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen.

Now, the truth was finally revealed.

That person was not the Demon Master, nor the Master of the Tianmen, but the Martial Arts Myth, Wu Ming.

Combining this with Su Chen's previous words, it made a group of Jianghu heroes tear up!

Heavenly Sword Wu Ming, he had actually been silently guarding the Great Han Jianghu!

In corners unknown to everyone, he was protecting the Great Han Jianghu alone!

He even protected the entire Jianghu from the hands of terrifying experts like the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace.

In an instant, the entire hall began to discuss it:

"Haha, I knew that with Senior Wu Ming's strength, he would definitely rank among the top of the Semi-Saint Ranking."

"How thrilling! There are too many hidden experts in the Great Han Jianghu; I was really worried Wu Ming wouldn't make the Semi-Saint Ranking."

"Fourth place on the Semi-Saint Ranking? It seems I previously underestimated Wu Ming; I never expected he had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm."

"A good Wu Ming; no wonder Mr. Su listed him as the existence most likely to reach the Land Immortal Sword realm; he is truly only one step away from being a Martial Saint."

"Quasi-Saint expert! Doesn't this mean that as long as Wu Ming takes one more step, he can become a true Land Immortal Sword?"

"Unexpectedly, Senior Wu Ming also came from the nine great clans, and a divine beast clan possessing the divine beast Phoenix bloodline at that."

"Heavenly Sword Wu Ming, broken but not crippled. I finally understand the meaning of this sentence; it turns out Wu Ming possesses the divine beast Phoenix bloodline with astonishing recovery power."

"Although the Phoenix bloodline doesn't improve martial arts cultivation much, it has no side effects; I feel this bloodline is even above the Nie Clan's Fire Qilin bloodline."

"Did I hear that right? Mr. Su actually said Senior Wu Ming is related to that ancient cultivator of the Tianmen? What is going on?"

"Terrifying! Could that ancient cultivator be Senior Wu Ming's ancestor?"

"Unexpectedly, the third person chosen by the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace to play against was Senior Wu Ming."

"Since the Jianghu catastrophe didn't happen, doesn't that mean Senior Wu Ming defeated the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace?"

"I simply cannot imagine how Senior Wu Ming, with Quasi-Saint strength, defeated the Martial Saint realm Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace."

……

Private room seven in the North District.

Jian Chen revealed an incredibly excited expression.

Previously, he was curious about how his master, Wu Ming, had any interaction with the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace.

Now, he finally understood.

It turned out his master was the third person to play against the Palace Master of the Soul-Searching Palace and the hero who saved the Great Han Jianghu!

This made him very proud, feeling a sense of honor.

But Wu Ming, who was on the side, frowned, looking like he couldn't figure it out.

"The Wei Clan I was born into is actually one of the nine great clans of the Great Han, a divine beast Phoenix clan?"

"And what is the relationship between that Tianmen Master and me?"

Wu Ming felt his brain was full of paste.

He was sold to the Mu family when he was very young, so he had no impression of his original family at all.

Over the years, he had never actively sought them out.

He never expected that such a major secret was hidden in his background.

However, this solved a doubt he had always had.

That was that his recovery power was indeed astonishing.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to survive the Sword Sect's 'Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart' training and achieve the Heavenly Sword realm in less than three years.

Previously, Wu Ming didn't know the reason, but now he finally understood.

It turned out it was because the divine beast Phoenix's bloodline flowed through his body.

If he could barely understand the bloodline point.

Then he was completely bewildered by Su Chen's later words.

He searched his brain but couldn't think of when he had any relationship with the Tianmen Master.

Including Su Chen's previous mention that he had a great connection with the third-generation Sword Saint of the Great Han, he had no clue.

This made Wu Ming feel some self-doubt.

Could it be that he, like Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, had his memories erased?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gaze toward the white jade platform, expecting Su Chen to give an answer.

……

Private room six in the South District.

"Wu Ming actually possesses the divine beast Phoenix bloodline; could he be..."

Luo Xian thought of a possibility and became even more surprised.

If it were truly as she thought.

Then the relationship between this Wu Ming and Di Shitian would be deep.

"I don't know if the Master knows about this; anyway, I'll report it first."

Luo Xian muttered to herself, making another note in her heart; the harvest from coming to Tongfu Inn this time was too great.
