At that moment, Xu Wen dropped his act and snorted, “How would I know?”
Tai Shengzi turned around, looking at Li Wenbo with a smile. “It’s said that there’s 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 king-level spiritual instrument, always preserved by the Li clan as a heritage treasure,” Tai Shengzi continued.
“According to rumors, this ding has the potential to be promoted to the Heavenly King level.”
“The Li clan has found a way to promote it and has already taken action. However, there are those within the clan who oppose it. It is said that the method is rather… inhumane.”
Tai Shengzi went on, “That’s why Li Yun stole the Li Wang Ding and left the Li clan. Even if he was branded as a traitor by his own clan and suffered infamy, he didn’t want the Li clan to do unspeakable things in order to promote the ding.”
Li Wenbo snorted again, “How do you know this?”
“Li Qin told me…”
Li Qin!
Li Wenbo’s expression froze.
Everyone knew that in this year’s Hundred Nations Martial Contest, the most representative geniuses of the Li clan were Li Xinhen and Li Xinyue. However, a small group of people knew that Li Qin of the Li clan was the real monster.
Li Wenbo knew.
Apparently, Tai Shengzi knew as well.
“Has he come too?” Li Wenbo asked.
“He should have,” Tai Shengzi replied, looking at the forest ahead. “Li Wenbo, the Li Wang Ding is irresistibly attractive to any Wanfa realm cultivator, 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, right?”
Tai Shengzi said indifferently, “The Tianyan Sword, a true Heavenly King-level spiritual instrument. Even if the Li Wang Ding evolves successfully, it would 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 from 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 group 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, looking apologetic, “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 turned to 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 good for us to team up!”
“I don’t like people who deceive me.”
“No, no, no, I didn’t mean to hide it,” Li Wenbo hurriedly explained. “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.”
“Let me tell you the truth. My master is Su Xuanyan, the number one swordsman of Qingzhou. He is very protective. Inside Lingjian Mountain, everyone respects and fears me. I don’t even 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 replied, “Su Xuanyan, the number one swordsman of Qingzhou.”
“I’m not boasting. My master is really Su Xuanyan. His swordsmanship is unparalleled, which is widely acknowledged in Qingzhou.”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Li Wenbo, then stepped forward, descending into the forest below.
Li Wenbo quickly 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?” Ye Wushuang countered instead of answering.
“He’s doing great. He’s in his prime and has a daughter.”
Li Wenbo was extremely surprised, “Do you know my master?”
Know?
It’s more than just knowing. He had even held Su Yexuan when he was a child!
So…
“Su Jin Yue is Su Yexuan’s daughter?”
“Yes, have you met Jin Yue?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Li Wenbo scratched his bald head.
Ye Wushuang was so strange.
He seemed to dislike him just now, but as soon as he mentioned that his master was Su Xuanyan, Ye Wushuang immediately guessed the real name Su Yexuan, and it seemed… he didn’t dislike him so much anymore!
Moreover, at this moment, the way Ye Wushuang looked at him was like… looking at a junior!
“Is Su Chenyang really seriously ill? Has he been severely injured?”
Upon hearing this, 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 concerns the survival of my 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, “Apart from Si Luoyi and Su Chenyang, who else?”
Upon hearing this, Li Wenbo was even more stunned.
Su Jin Yue, that silly girl, this is an absolute secret of Lingjian Mountain, which must not be spread, yet she told Ye Wushuang everything!
“There’s also the ancestor Yin Shenghao…”
As soon as Li Wenbo said 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 the Lingjian Pavilion who left and came to Qingzhou, far 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, unable to wake.
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 shen fell into slumber?
More than two thousand years ago, Ye Wushuang’s eighth reincarnation was as Ling Shengtian, who founded the Lingjian Pavilion and made it one of the dominant powers on the Tianyuan Continent.
After his eighth yuan shen fell into slumber, the Lingjian Pavilion fell into chaos, 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 upon hearing 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 have done so!
Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, Ye Wushuang could still be certain of this!
“Why is Yin Shenghao in a state of slumber, unable to wake?” Ye Wushuang asked again.
