Chapter 973: Chapter 381: Lighting World Demon Lamp They counterbalanced each other, even clashing and fighting, entangled for hundreds of thousands of years, all the while covertly manipulating the rise and fall of the Qi fortune of the Human Clan, the rise and fall of dynasties. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novęlfire.net Xie Zhenqing could not help but be startled. Previously it was the ‘Chan Sect’ that manifested for the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, and now the ‘True Sect’ members have re-emerged in Jianghu, Xie Zhenqing had already sensed the undercurrents hidden within it. As she pondered, she flipped backwards, then paused on the page of the ‘Qingyun General List’. Just as Xie Zhenqing expected, the Discussion Martial Arts General Building had written a special article for Chu Xisheng. His ranking on the Qingyun General List was also adjusted—first place! Dong Lishan was taken aback: “Chu Xisheng, ranked first on the Qingyun General List?” Before, the Discussion Martial Arts General Building had also made a shocking move, placing Chu Xisheng as the head of the Qingyun Four Heavenly Monarchs. However, the Qingyun Four Heavenly Monarchs value above all talent, which was barely explainable. The Discussion Martial Arts General Building, after all, did not dare to disregard its reputation, having previously only fixed Chu Xisheng’s general ranking at twenty-nine. Today, this person actually ascended to the top! He continued to read Chu Xisheng’s column article with infinite surprise, then let out a drake-like yelp: “Vengeful Bloodline?” This person, who had risen to fame in just two short years and already rocked Jianghu, the ‘Infinite Blade Lord’, actually possessed a Vengeful Bloodline! “No wonder, no wonder this issue of the Debating Martial Arts was repeatedly delayed—” Dong Lishan froze for a moment: “Is this yet another Blood Vengeance Blade Lord? Another Dominating Martial King? No! With the speed of Chu Xisheng’s rise, with his bloodline talent, the future might be even more terrifying than Blood Vengeance Blade Lord. Jianghu rumors have it that the Rebellious God Flag’s flagpole is in Chu Xisheng’s hand, looking at it this way, it indeed seems possible.” Xie Zhenqing remained very calm, simply because she had already been shocked in the morning. “The Vengeance Blade is already invincible, let alone one that possesses the Blood of Ten Thousand Ages and has cultivated the Heaven Punishment inheritance of the Vengeance Blade?” Xie Zhenqing mused that in these days, those enemies of the Formless Divine Sect would likely find it hard to swallow their food or rest peacefully. Many people in Jianghu would also feel like sitting on pins and needles, extremely apprehensive. She sighed lightly, her expression complex: “I hope Chu Xisheng can weather this storm.” “I hope so too.” Dong Lishan also looked outside in a daze. He never expected that the young man who had once asked him to gain fame had reached this stage. He had long known of Chu Xisheng’s extraordinariness, but never did he expect that this person’s talent was so terrifying. “This matter is not simple; it’s almost like being an enemy of half the world. I finally understand why Master of Formless Sect Li Changsheng had to make a trip to the Capital City. This person is so sharp, sweeping through the Capital, harboring ulterior motives.” Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenqing put her miscellaneous thoughts away: “That person took advantage of the emperor to establish prestige, a formal declaration to the world. Over a decade ago, he could not protect Qin Muge, but over ten years later, he has become the de facto number one in the world!” As she spoke, she continued to look at the book in her hand, then let out a startled ‘hmm’. “The second position on the Qingyun List has also changed, ‘God Demon Saber Lord’ Wan Jiansheng? I have never seen this person on the list before, he must have parachuted into the Qingyun General List, and even took the second seat of the Four Heavenly Monarchs.” Xie Zhenqing carefully reviewed the content, then showed a look of surprise: “This is the direct disciple of the third-ranked ‘Demon Flow Saber King’ Zhuang Yan on the Heavenly List, a disciple of the Divine Blade Sect, who, over the past month, has challenged and defeated fifty-six sects across Liang State and Bing Province. Among all Third Grade and below young talents, none can rival him, even the previous second seat of the Four Heavenly Monarchs, ‘Guang Han Heavenly Monarch’ Lin Yaojun, was defeated by him.” It also contained a comment from a Divine Machine University Scholar—The Demon Blade emerges in the west, all blades bow down! At the same time, in the Tianjing Courtyard of Formless Divine Mountain, a sudden crisp sound of ‘pang’ was heard. A precious tea set thrown by Chu Ming from inside the attic shattered into pieces on the green stone slab in the courtyard. Then more objects were thrown out of the window, with shattered porcelain pieces scattering in all directions. In the courtyard, the Daoists Chu Shan, Chu Shi, and others watched this scene, not daring to even breathe. Their faces were also sullen, their aura as cold as ice. “Chu Xisheng has the Vengeful Bloodline? Then what am I? What do I count for? They never took me seriously, they never thought of teaching me the Vengeance Blade—” Chu Ming ranted hysterically inside the room, throwing out everything that could be thrown, smashing all the furniture that could be broken. Then she collapsed on the ground, exhausted. At this moment, Chu Ming was not only trembling but also had tears welling up in her eyes: “I’m merely a dog they use to shield Chu Xisheng from attacks, a decoy to cover for them, Chu Xisheng! Formless Divine Sect! They have gone too far! Have gone too far!” Beside her, Long Heihu of ‘Long Tenghu Yue’ was also in a foul mood, filled with endless regret gnawing at his heart. He had finally mustered the determination to agree to the solicitation from the Western Capital Chu Family, only to encounter such an incident. This was simply stepping into a bottomless chasm. However, regret solves nothing; Long Heihu temporarily gathered his bearings: “Miss, things haven’t reached the worst yet; there is still hope for us.” “Not bad enough? Father has ordered me to return to the Capital!” Chu Ming, her face pale, let out a sneer, her eyes filled with self-mockery: “What does this mean? I have already risked everything to switch to practicing Formless Skill. At this time, they are telling me to return home? Ha, do they think of me, Chu Ming, as a chamber pot to be discarded once used?”
