Lu Qingsong has been killed!
Qingshan has been killed!
The few disciples of the Giant Sword Sect who managed to escape have spread the news far and wide.
With the deaths of these two individuals, Ye Wushuang’s name has become a topic of conversation among everyone.
*”Where on earth did this Ye Wushuang come from?”* some people find it incredible.
*”Does anyone know where he is from?”* others are curious about Ye Wushuang’s origins.
*”From the Qingyun Empire? Come on, the Qingyun Empire is at best a medium-sized power among the hundred nations, and yet a dark horse has emerged from there?”*
Indeed, some have already labeled Ye Wushuang as the dark horse of this event!
A cultivator at the seventh level of Yuan Fu who has killed two prominent figures from the Giant Sword Sect—what else could this be if not a dark horse?
Both Lu Qingsong and Qingshan were strong contenders for the top seven spots.
Most importantly, Lu Qingsong had already broken through to the first level of the Tian Gang realm, yet he was killed by Ye Wushuang, who was only at the seventh level of Yuan Fu!
*”He is a swordsman with a fully developed sword intent!”*
*”He is only seventeen years old.”*
*”Nonsense, he is not even seventeen.”*
As more people receive additional information, they are all left in shock.
A swordsman with a fully developed sword intent who is not even seventeen years old!
Even Li Wenbo from the Lingjian Mountain, who is known as the reincarnation of the Sword Saint, could not achieve this.
It is simply inconceivable.
With the rise and fame of this dark horse, Ye Wushuang, many of the top talents from the various empires and the Seven Great Sects have chosen not to wait any longer but to break through to the Tian Gang realm.
Among them, there were already a number of individuals at the peak of the ninth level of Yuan Fu.
Had it not been for the Hundred Nations Martial Gathering, they would have broken through long ago.
Now, with the emergence of a dark horse, it seems more prudent to break through to the Tian Gang realm.
However, the Hundred Nations Martial Gathering has gathered tens of thousands of geniuses and prodigies from the hundred nations and Qingzhou. Ye Wushuang is not the only dark horse.
Some claim to have seen the seventeenth prince of the Tianyan Dynasty, Tian Zhihen, break through to the Tian Gang realm and, under the assault of nine low-level third-stage spiritual beasts, carve out a bloody path.
This seventeenth prince is not the top candidate for the Tianyan Dynasty this time.
On the contrary, the most renowned has always been the nineteenth prince, Tian Xu.
But only twenty days into the Hundred Nations Martial Gathering, this seventeenth prince, Tian Zhihen, has also made his presence known.
Others have reported seeing a top talent from an unknown empire at the ninth level of Yuan Fu, who personally hunted down a mid-level third-stage spiritual beast.
A mid-level third-stage spiritual beast is at least at the fourth level of Tian Gang.
To kill a spiritual beast at the fourth level of Tian Gang without reaching the Tian Gang realm oneself—this is another dark horse indeed!
Endless news continues to spread, and one by one, those once obscure heavenly talents reveal their true abilities.
In Qingzhou, there are millions, if not tens of millions, of martial cultivators.
Geniuses are in no short supply.
There is no strongest, only stronger.
Ye Wushuang is not very aware of these developments.
He has already followed the map and found the location of the so-called Li Yun ancient tomb.
Ahead, at the end of the forest, lies a range of continuous mountains.
These mountains, all just a hundred zhang tall, are barren and devoid of any vegetation.
There are hundreds of such mountains, all very unique.
However, when Ye Wushuang appeared at the end of the forest and stood on an ancient tree, he saw that there were already quite a few people at this place, more than ten li ahead.
Ye Wushuang looked closely and raised an eyebrow.
These people, from various forces, either in groups of three or five, or in groups of ten or more, seemed to be… heading for the Li Yun ancient tomb as well.
Ye Wushuang glanced at the map in his hand and then at the group ahead, feeling somewhat speechless.
Could it be… fake?
Nevertheless, Ye Wushuang did not rush out. He slightly clenched his palm, and the Tian Ya Sword appeared in his hand.
*”Who’s there?”*
In the distance, someone was watching him.
Upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s voice, a figure leaped from the side and landed not far in front of Ye Wushuang after a few bounds.
*”Hehe, brother, going solo?”*
This was a young man, looking around eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a light blue tight-fitting outfit. He appeared slightly lean, with a very sunny smile. His two rows of white teeth were particularly eye-catching.
His face was quite handsome, one could even say good-looking, but his completely bald head seemed quite incongruous!
Ye Wushuang sized up this person for a few moments.
This man seemed to be grinning and joking, but there was an indistinct aura around him, like a sword, an unparalleled treasure sword, ready to burst out of its sheath at any moment.
*”I don’t know you, do I?”* Ye Wushuang said cautiously.
*”Hehe, I know you,”* the bald young man said with a smile, *”Ye Wushuang from the Qingyun Empire.”*
Ye Wushuang’s brows furrowed.
*”Ahem, I don’t have any bad intentions. You’re alone, and so am I. We could cooperate!”*
*”Cooperate with you?”* Ye Wushuang laughed, *”I don’t even know who you are.”*
The man nonchalantly scratched his bald head and said, *”I’m Xu Wen, not worth mentioning.”*
Ye Wushuang ignored him.
Xu Wen, however, looked ahead and said, *”Do you know who those people are?”*
Seeing that Ye Wushuang was not paying attention, Xu Wen continued on his own, *”Well, they’re all here for the Li Yun ancient tomb.”*
Ye Wushuang glanced at Xu Wen.
*”This is all your fault. Didn’t you kill Qi Ying? That news has spread too.”*
*”The ancient map on Qi Ying was not the only one. This time, Ling Zhongxiao, Lou Ge, and Gu Qingyi from the Tianji Mansion all have copies of the map.”*
*”They were worried that you would get the map from Qi Ying and come here first, so… they all came.”*
*”But there are no secrets in this world. Seeing the Tianji Mansion disciples gather, other forces’ geniuses also got some information, so they all came…”*
Ye Wushuang was speechless.
Xu Wen pointed to a group of more than ten people in the distance, all dressed similarly, and asked, *”See those dozen or so people over there? Know who they are?”*
