Chapter 205 I'm so excited when you say that!
Sword God Dongfang Tian?
Xiao Bieli was slightly taken aback. Although he had destroyed several forces and read through some ancient books, this was the first time he had heard this name.
Yu Jinxiu also shook her head.
Although he came with Hong Tianwu, I had never heard of this name before.
However, anyone who can be called the Sword God must be extraordinary!
Xiao Bieli said calmly:
"How was Chief Hong determined?"
If this Dongfang Tian is one of the legendary nine people who have lived for thousands of years, it's not impossible.
However, although Hong Tianwu's martial arts skills were good, he had not yet reached the level of being able to feign injury to a master.
Hong Tianwu took out a portrait from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Bieli, saying:
"Sword God Dongfang Tian and the third generation leader of my Beggar Clan are sworn brothers. Their portraits have been passed down in my Beggar Clan."
"Six months ago, Dongfang Tian came to my Beggars' Sect with people from the imperial court, asking my Beggars' Sect to do things for the imperial court. Due to the power of the imperial court, I agreed."
"He probably never imagined that his portrait would circulate within our Beggars' Sect."
Xiao Bieli took the painting and unrolled the scroll.
The scroll is made of some unknown material, yet it remains completely undamaged despite being thousands of years old.
A gaunt old man held a sword in his arms, and wisps of sword intent emanated from the painting.
"The person in this painting barely deserves the title of Sword God!" Xiao Bieli said calmly.
"However, how can you be sure that the person you saw wasn't a descendant of Dongfang Tian?"
"Or is someone impersonating him?"
Hong Tianwu smiled wryly:
"I don't believe anyone can live that long either, but when I saw Dongfang Tian before, his demeanor and the sword intent he exuded were too similar to those in the painting."
"Moreover, even if I were facing him, I wouldn't have the courage to strike him."
“He is definitely a master far superior to me. There is no need for such a person to impersonate Dongfang Tian, the Sword God who has not appeared for thousands of years and is not even remembered by many people.”
"That's true!" Xiao Bieli said thoughtfully.
“This is becoming more and more interesting.”
"Of the nine people who plotted to seize the destiny, one of them actually sided with Emperor Qian?"
To seize destiny?
Nine people?
Hong Tianwu and Yu Jinxiu were all taken aback.
Xiao Bieli's words were not kept from them, so they all heard them, but they did not understand their meaning.
Xiao Bieli raised his eyes:
"Why did Chief Hong tell me this news? Is there something he's thinking?"
Hong Tianwu shook his head:
"The news that Young Master Xiao is the master of Zhonghua Pavilion was released by the imperial court. I told Brother Xiao this news only in the hope that he would be on guard."
"After all, those old monsters are no simpletons!"
Xiao Bieli nodded, then looked at Yu Jinxiu and said:
"Has no force in the martial arts world been trying to cause trouble for my Zhonghua Pavilion during this period?"
"The forces at Lankesi Temple haven't made a move?"
The imperial court is unlikely to take action against him for the time being; he can only learn some experience from the forces at Lankesi Temple for now.
Yu Jinxiu shook her head:
"There hasn't been any major movement at Lankesi Temple."
"However, the Ximen and Ouyang families have been quite active lately. They seem to have received support from the Lanke Temple and have openly recruited soldiers in Qinzhou, showing signs of rebellion. Even the Qinzhou Zhenwu Hall has clashed with them several times, causing considerable losses to the imperial court."
"Moreover, the experts from the Human Sect, who are usually detached from the martial world, have been appearing frequently lately, and rumors are circulating..."
At this point, Yu Jinxiu glanced at Xiao Bieli and whispered, "Rumor has it that the leader of the Human Sect might come down from the mountain to deal with you!"
Hong Tianwu said in a deep voice:
"Qinzhou is the territory of the Human Sect. Although the experts of the Human Sect rarely travel in the martial arts world, without their approval, Ximen Wuhen, a mere first-rank expert, could not have caused such a commotion in Qinzhou."
"In addition, there has been a constant stream of news about the Human Sect lately, so they probably have some kind of scheme in mind!"
"They might be after you, Young Hero Xiao!"
Yu Jinxiu nodded:
"Indeed, my master deduced that the Human Sect probably has some kind of scheme."
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly, then suddenly turned to look north and smiled:
"It seems you know less intelligence than the imperial court!"
"The messenger who never delivers intelligence has arrived!"
"You all stay out of the way, I'm going to see this head of the Eastern Depot!"
After saying that, Xiao Bieli took a step forward and appeared on the first floor of Zhonghua Pavilion, sitting at the table directly opposite the entrance.
At this time, business at Zhonghua Pavilion remained slow.
Lu Qinghong, dressed in casual clothes, walked in from outside. Seeing Xiao Bieli already waiting, she felt a slight chill in her heart.
He came concealing his presence, but Xiao Bieli had already sensed his arrival and was waiting in advance. His martial arts skills were truly astonishing!
"Young Master Xiao, it's been a long time!"
Eunuch Lü bowed to Xiao Bieli.
Xiao Bieli said calmly:
"Did Eunuch Lü come to deliver a secret manual to me this time?"
Lü Qinghong nodded, placed the two complete manuals on the table in front of Xiao Bieli, and said:
"These are the secret manuals I promised Young Hero Xiao. They are all complete first-grade martial arts."
"However, I have come here not only to deliver the secret manual to Young Hero Xiao."
"Oh?" Xiao Bieli poured himself a glass of wine and said:
"Then what else?"
Lü Qinghong looked at Xiao Bieli and spoke after several breaths:
"There's a large formation set up in Qinzhou by the Supervisor, which Liu Jingfeng didn't notice. He fell into the Supervisor's ambush and was seriously injured. He's now being watched by the Celestial Venerable and his group, and it'll be difficult for him to escape!"
Xiao Bieli frowned.
Is Liu Jingfeng injured?
As long as he's not dead!
For now, we can still help him keep a few people in check!
Lü Qinghong glanced at Xiao Bieli and continued:
“After you killed the monks of Lanke Temple, they wanted to take action against you, but you kept quiet for two months because they needed to deal with Liu Jingfeng.”
"However, Liu Jingfeng is now seriously injured, and the leader of the Human Sect has freed up his hands. He is preparing to take action against you personally!"
"The Daoist leader also wields a knife... he's probably eyeing your body!"
Ah!
Xiao Bieli sneered:
"Of those nine old fogies, how many went to hunt down Liu Jingfeng?"
Lü Qinghong looked at Xiao Bieli with a complicated expression and said:
"Four!"
"Celestial Venerable, Earthly Venerable, Huikong, Lord of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
"His Majesty told me to tell you that you don't need to worry about the abbot of Lanke Temple and the others. You only need to block the leader of the Human Sect!"
He knew perfectly well that His Majesty wanted to see Xiao Bieli's true strength. If Xiao Bieli was a greater threat than those old monsters, His Majesty would probably make the first move against Xiao Bieli.
One punch killed the head monk of the Prajna Hall of the Rotten Ke Temple!
He must be at least a master of the seventh level of the Thunder Tribulation!
The leader of the Human Sect is at least a peerless expert at the eighth level of the Thunder Tribulation!
Xiao Bieli narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Now that you say that, I'm getting quite excited!"
Although his proficiency with the War God's Manual only increased slightly, his martial arts skills improved by nearly 20% across the board.
Perfect timing! He wanted to test just how far this world's top expert had gone!
And he... really lacks experience!
With the Ximen family, the Ouyang family, and the Human Sect... he should be able to reap a huge wave of experience points, right?
