At this moment, Xu Wen dropped the act and snorted, “How would I know?”
Tai Shengzi turned around and looked at Li Wenbo, smiling as he said, “It’s said that there is a sword saint relic within the Li clan, named the Li Wang Ding!”
Li Wang Ding!
Li Wenbo’s expression changed.
“The Li Wang Ding is a true royal-grade spiritual artifact, and it has always been preserved by the Li clan as a hereditary treasure.”
“According to rumors, this ding has the potential to be promoted to a heavenly king-grade spiritual artifact.”
“The Li clan has also found a way to promote it and has taken action, but there are those within the clan who oppose it. It is said that the method is quite… inhumane.”
Tai Shengzi continued, “Therefore, Li Yun stole the Li Wang Ding and left the Li clan. Even though he was branded a traitor by his clan and suffered infamy, he did not want the Li clan to do some unspeakable things in order to promote the ding.”
Li Wenbo snorted again, “How do you know?”
“Li Qin told me…”
Li Qin!
Li Wenbo’s expression froze.
Everyone knew that in this year’s Hundred Nations Martial Contest, the two most representative geniuses of the Li clan were Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue.
But a small group of people knew that Li Qin of the Li clan was the real monster.
Li Wenbo knew.
Apparently, this Tai Shengzi knew as well.
“Has he come too?” Li Wenbo asked.
“He should have.”
Tai Shengzi looked at the forest ahead and continued, “Li Wenbo, the Li Wang Ding is fatally attractive to any Wanfa realm expert, not to mention those at the Tiangang level.”
“The Li clan will definitely not let go, and once those geniuses find out that the Li Wang Ding is here… they will probably go berserk!”
Li Wenbo chuckled, “The Li Wang Ding is precious, but it still falls short compared to some of the treasures the seven major sects have put forward this time.”
“You’re talking about the Tianyan Sword that your Lingjian Mountain has put forward?”
Tai Shengzi said indifferently, “The Tianyan Sword, a true heavenly king-grade spiritual artifact. Even if the Li Wang Ding evolves successfully, it will only be at the heavenly king level. Indeed… the Tianyan Sword ranks first among the rewards put forward by the seven sects.”
“But as far as I know, in a thousand years, no one in your Lingjian Mountain has ever gained the recognition of the Tianyan Sword.”
Li Wenbo shrugged.
“I also know that even you, the once-in-a-millennium sword genius of Lingjian Mountain, have not gained the recognition of the Tianyan Sword.”
Li Wenbo remained silent.
Tai Shengzi continued, “I’ll go take a look first.”
With that, Tai Shengzi led his people and left directly.
From beginning to end, he never looked at Ye Wushuang, considering Ye Wushuang and Chu Qingcheng to be mere followers of Li Wenbo.
After the group of more than ten people left, Ye Wushuang and Chu Qingcheng both looked at Li Wenbo.
“Xu Wen, the obscure person from a small empire?” Ye Wushuang’s voice rang out.
Li Wenbo scratched his bald head, with an apologetic look on his face, “I just wanted to find a companion. I was afraid that if I told you my real name, you wouldn’t team up with me…”
Ye Wushuang ignored Li Wenbo and looked at Chu Qingcheng, saying, “We shouldn’t stay here long. Since most of the geniuses are gathered here, it’s safer outside.”
“Okay.”
Chu Qingcheng turned and left…
Ye Wushuang also stepped forward, heading towards the forest ahead.
Li Wenbo followed again.
“If you keep following me, I won’t be polite,” Ye Wushuang warned.
Hearing this, Li Wenbo scratched his head again, anxiously saying, “Brother Ye, don’t be angry. Look, I haven’t harmed you by being with you. It’s great to team up with you!”
“I don’t like people who deceive me.”
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean to hide it,” Li Wenbo hurriedly said, “It’s just that my fame is too great. I was afraid that if I told you my real name, you would treat me differently.”
“To be honest, my master is Su Xuanyan, the number one swordsman of Qingzhou. He is very protective. Inside Lingjian Mountain, everyone respects and fears me, and I don’t have any friends. Being with you makes me feel very comfortable.”
Very comfortable…
This phrase sounded awkward no matter how you put it!
“Who is your master?”
“Ah?”
Li Wenbo was taken aback, then said, “Su Xuanyan, the number one swordsman of Qingzhou.”
“I’m not boasting. My master is really Su Xuanyan, the number one swordsman of Qingzhou. His swordsmanship is unparalleled, and this is widely acknowledged in Qingzhou.”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Li Wenbo, took a step forward, and entered the forest below.
Li Wenbo hurriedly followed.
“Brother Ye…”
“Isn’t your master’s real name Su Yexuan?” Ye Wushuang asked.
“Yes, you…” Li Wenbo blurted out, but then stopped abruptly, looking at Ye Wushuang in disbelief, “You… you… how do you know?”
“Is your master well?”
“Very well, in the prime of his life, and he has a daughter.”
Li Wenbo was extremely surprised, “You know my master?”
Know?
It’s more than just knowing. When Su Yexuan was young, Ye Wushuang had even held him in his arms!
So, in that case…
“Su Jin Yue is Su Yexuan’s daughter?”
“Yes, have you met Jin Yue?”
“Yeah.”
Li Wenbo scratched his bald head.
Ye Wushuang was very strange.
He seemed to dislike him just now, but as soon as he mentioned that his master was Su Xuanyan, Ye Wushuang immediately guessed his master’s real name was Su Yexuan, and it seemed that Ye Wushuang… didn’t dislike him so much anymore!
Moreover, the way Ye Wushuang looked at him now was like… looking at a junior!
“Is Su Chenyang really seriously ill? Has he been severely injured?”
At these words, Li Wenbo was so shocked that he took several steps back, looking at Ye Wushuang in disbelief.
“You… you… how do you know that again?”
“It was Jin Yue who told you!”
“That little girl, she told you so much. When I go back, I will definitely report to my master and have her confined for a year!”
Ye Wushuang continued to move forward without stopping.
Li Wenbo hurriedly caught up, rubbing his hands together and chuckling, “Brother Ye, this matter is related to the life and death of Lingjian Mountain. You must not spread it around, my master’s real name, and the name of his father… they must not be spread.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “Besides Si Luoyi and Su Chenyang, who else?”
At these words, Li Wenbo was even more stunned.
Su Jin Yue, that silly girl, this is an absolute secret of Lingjian Mountain, which absolutely must not be spread, and yet she told Ye Wushuang everything!
“Also, the patriarch Yin Shenghao…”
When Li Wenbo mentioned this, Ye Wushuang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Yin Shenghao!
A figure emerged in Ye Wushuang’s mind.
Lingjian Mountain was established by three elders of Lingjian Pavilion who left and came to Qingzhou, away from the center of the Tianyuan Continent, to settle down.
Si Luoyi, under the alias Si Yin, served as the mountain master.
Yin Shenghao was in a state of slumber.
Su Chenyang was injured.
These two had always remained hidden and had never shown themselves in Qingzhou.
And Su Yexuan, Su Chenyang’s son, had also changed his name.
What exactly happened after his eighth yuan spirit fell into a deep sleep?
More than two thousand years ago, Ye Wushuang’s eighth reincarnated spirit was born as Ling Shengtian, who founded Lingjian Pavilion and made it one of the dominant forces on the Tianyuan Continent.
After his eighth yuan spirit fell asleep, an internal chaos erupted in Lingjian Pavilion, and the three elders were forced to leave.
Su Jin Yue had said that the nine elders were going to do something to betray Sheng Lingtian.
Ye Wushuang had always been skeptical about this.
The twelve elders were all people he had highly valued back then.
Nine of them betrayed him?
Ye Wushuang had always felt that it might have been these three elders who did something outrageous and were driven out and pursued by the other nine elders.
But when he heard the name Yin Shenghao, Ye Wushuang knew that Su Jin Yue was telling the truth.
Among the twelve elders, anyone could have betrayed him, but Yin Shenghao would never!
Even after a thousand or ten thousand years, Ye Wushuang could still be certain of this!
“Why is Yin Shenghao in a state of eternal slumber?” Ye Wushuang
