Chapter 98

"Gusu Murong Murong Qiudi is a beauty who could be ranked on the main Rouge Ranking; it’s a pity Xie Lu Xiaofeng didn't have the fortune to enjoy it."

"All those on the list are self-respecting and as pure as white lotuses; in that case... I sympathize with Xie Lu Xiaofeng for a quarter of an hour."

The fourth private room in the South District.

Lu Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Hua Manlou had both leaned into the corner of the private room.

And they looked at Ximen Ximen Chuixue with a strange expression.

Ever since the three words "Xie Lu Xiaofeng" appeared, his aura had become exceptionally sharp.

His whole body even radiated a cold aura like ice.

Regretting not being able to fight Sword God Xie Lu Xiaofeng!

This was Ximen Ximen Chuixue’s greatest regret.

When he was learning the sword back then, Xie Lu Xiaofeng was at the height of his fame and was the target he was chasing.

Unfortunately, by the time his sword path reached perfection, Xie Lu Xiaofeng had already become bones.

Although he became a Sword God, he had not defeated the previous generation’s Sword God, Xie Lu Xiaofeng.

This had always been a knot in his heart.

Because he could never defeat a dead person.

The third private room in the East District.

A Fei said excitedly, "Sword God Xie Lu Xiaofeng! I’ve heard his name; it seems he was very powerful back then."

"The Third Young Master of the Divine Sword Villa, Xie Lu Xiaofeng; this person was indeed unparalleled in fame back then."

"Even the current Ximen Ximen Chuixue is not as famous as him."

"After all, Xie Lu Xiaofeng once personally defeated Ye Ye Gucheng, who was known as the 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens'."

Li Li Xunhuan shook his wine flask, saying with a bit of reminiscence.

A Fei said, "Speaking of which, Big Brother is from the same era as Xie Lu Xiaofeng; have you ever fought him?"

"Don’t make me sound so old; I didn't have any interaction with Xie Lu Xiaofeng back then."

Li Li Xunhuan said irritably.

"Ding!"

"The host has released a ranking list in the casual talk, which is well-reasoned and has caused shock throughout the venue; you are rewarded with 30,000 popularity points."

"Storytelling popularity has exceeded 536,000 points."

"The host has accumulated five Golden Lottery Cards, three Silver Lottery Cards, and six Bronze Lottery Cards."

"Please keep up the good work, host."

Su Chen listened to the system notification in his mind, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Five Golden Lottery Cards!

A secondary Rouge Ranking had directly caused his popularity points to soar by over one hundred thousand.

And in this commentary, he had also hidden a piece of information.

That was that Xiao Zhao was undercover in the Ming Cult as a maid.

Because once this information was out, it would immediately put Xiao Zhao in a dangerous situation.

If it were martial arts heroes or the like, Su Chen naturally wouldn't care; commenting on martial arts secrets always came with these things.

But Xiao Zhao was just a weak woman and hadn't really done anything evil.

If she were to lose her life because of his commentary, he would still feel a bit unbearable.

These were all things Su Chen had realized from his commentary on Gusu Murong Xian.

Two days ago, he suddenly realized that by exposing Gusu Murong Xian’s Profound Yin Physique, he was very likely to attract Liu Xi’s attention.

Although in the original work, Liu Xi eventually found this out.

But his premature exposure undoubtedly made Gusu Murong Xian’s danger arrive earlier.

So after Su Chen discovered this, he immediately sent a message by carrier pigeon to Qingluan.

After she delivered the medicine to Gusu Murong Xian, she was to stay by Gusu Murong Xian’s side to protect her until the hidden threat of Liu Xi disappeared.

From that day on, Su Chen set a rule, which was that his commentary would not put ordinary people in danger.

Besides the information about Xiao Zhao, Su Chen also withheld some information about Gusu Murong Murong Qiudi.

This was not out of protection, but because he wanted to save it for later to have a greater effect.

After all, the power represented behind Gusu Murong Murong Qiudi could absolutely not be ignored in the Great Ming martial arts world.

Once exposed, it would surely cause an earth-shattering shock.

He naturally had to make good use of it.

"Mr. Su!"

"The secondary Rouge Ranking has been announced; can we start announcing the Sword God Ranking?"

Just as everyone was still discussing the many beauties in the secondary Rouge Ranking, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

It was Zuo Zuo Lengchan on the third floor who finally couldn't hold back.

What Rouge Ranking? He didn't care at all; could beauty be eaten as food?

What he cared about was fame! It was power!

He couldn't wait to see himself selected for the Sword God Ranking.

By then, he would see who else in the hall dared to look down on him.

In the great hall, there were not a few martial arts heroes looking forward to the Sword God Ranking.

Especially when recalling the era of Xie Lu Xiaofeng, many people’s sword hearts were reignited.

Hearing Zuo Zuo Lengchan’s words, they all followed suit, hoping for the Sword God Ranking to be announced.

They wanted to know who could be called the number one Sword God in the contemporary era after Xie Lu Xiaofeng’s death.

Was it Ye Ye Gucheng, the West Sea’s number one Sword God, who had lost to Xie Lu Xiaofeng but had been famous for longer?

Or was it Ximen Ximen Chuixue, the inland number one Sword God, who had inherited Xie Lu Xiaofeng’s title of Sword God but was relatively young?

Or was it the nameless Sword God who drew lightning with one sword on a long street in the dark night?

This was the focus of attention for the entire Great Ming.

It was the heart’s desire of a million swordsmen.

For a time, countless fiery gazes looked toward Su Chen, waiting for his response.

Because the Sword God Ranking was not a planned topic for today.

It was only said that he would comment on the top sword-wielding experts of the Great Ming.

If it were just that, it clearly couldn't satisfy everyone’s curious heart.

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen closed his folding fan and took a slow sip of clear tea.

That calm, indifferent, and water-like appearance made the anxious people below want to go up and beat him up.

Until half a cup of tea was down, Su Chen then unfolded his fan and said slowly:

"The Sword God Ranking is not in the plan."

"But since everyone is so enthusiastic, we will announce it in advance."

"It’s just that it’s late today, so we might not be able to comment on all of them."

Is the Sword God Ranking really coming?

The people in the great hall didn't hear the latter part of Su Chen’s words at all.

They only knew that the Sword God Ranking was really coming!

The top sword-wielding experts of the Great Ming martial arts world were as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, each with their own supporters.

Now they could finally know what level of strength these people had.
