Chapter 184, February 1st!
"Bai Tianxun's martial arts are indeed formidable. Even though this is my first time in the East Sea, I've heard of his reputation before!" Guan Xuanyun said with a smile, watching Xiao Bieli's retreating figure.
"No one in the martial arts world of the East Sea can surpass him in wielding a knife!"
"However, compared to you, he is still somewhat lacking."
Xiao Bieli nodded:
"That's right, I think so too!"
After speaking, Xiao Bieli turned to look at Guan Xuanyun and said calmly:
"how about you?"
"As the chief disciple of the Imperial Observatory, you had already escaped when I killed Fan Suiyun. Why did you come back?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Guan Xuanyun shook his head and said:
“Fan Suiyun is the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect, the future successor of the Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Sect, and I invited him to come out of seclusion. He died in the East Sea, but I returned safely. I can only bear the wrath of the Heavenly Venerable.”
"Moreover, it seems that the supervisor has already calculated that Fan Suiyun will die at your hands. He sent me to sea with Fan Suiyun, and he probably doesn't intend for me to return!"
"I paid a heavy price to predict your future this time. I saw a glimpse of my own future in it... I will die soon, in the hands of an invisible hand."
"Small circumstances can be changed, but destiny cannot be defied!"
"Even if Master Jianzheng has no ill intentions towards me, he will not defy fate for my sake. Only by following you, this mysterious fate-twisting person, may my destiny change."
"I've practiced the Star Divination Technique for so many years, and you and Master Jianzheng are the ones I can't see through the most!"
"A first-grade expert lives for five hundred years. Even with methods to prolong life, they reach their peak at seven or eight hundred years old."
"The aftereffects of possession are too great, and the chances of success are too low!"
"If one is reincarnated and fails to break the mystery of the womb, one will be lost in the vast sea of people and never have another chance."
"And the supervisor has lived for at least a thousand years, or even longer!"
"As for the usurpers who appeared before, as long as the supervisor discovered them, he would take action to eliminate them. The reason why Fan Suiyun did not die was because His Majesty and the Heavenly Venerable intervened, so he survived."
“This time, he didn’t target you. I feel like he has something on his mind about you.”
Xiao Bieli said calmly:
"The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders!"
"Even the island lord of Shenlong Island can control a strange dragon. It's normal for the supervisors and others to have some extraordinary encounters after living for so many years!"
"What you've said doesn't make me completely trust you!"
If this world were like the world of wind and clouds, with dragons and phoenixes, it wouldn't be impossible for the Supervisor and his group to also launch a seven-man dragon-slaying campaign and survive in the world forever!
Guan Xuanyun nodded:
“My presence here poses no threat to you.”
"Moreover, I know a lot about the Imperial Observatory and even the palace, which may be of some help to you."
"Oh?" Xiao Bieli became interested and looked at Guan Xuanyun, saying:
"In that case, will you give me the Star Divination Technique first?"
Guan Xuanyun nodded and began to recite it.
"The vast天地 (heaven and earth) stretch endlessly, without end. The sun and moon cycle endlessly..."
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly and raised his hand to interrupt Guan Xuanyun from continuing to recite. These things were all mysterious and profound, although he had previously read many books from Tianji Valley about how to be a good charlatan.
But there's still something I don't quite understand about this.
"Write down this Star Divination Technique later, I'll study it slowly!" Xiao Bieli waved his hand and asked:
"Was the late emperor really assassinated by the Blood-Clad Lord?"
This problem had been troubling him for a long time.
He had asked Feng You about it, but according to Feng You, the Blood-Clad Tower did indeed accept the job to assassinate the late emperor, but whether they actually carried it out was unknown.
Guan Xuanyun:
"The Blood-Clad Tower was originally a weapon in the hands of the late emperor, intended to deal with some disobedient martial arts forces."
"Hmm?" Xiao Bieli frowned slightly.
"A hundred years ago, the Great Qian Dynasty dominated the Central Plains and its power over the four seas was much stronger than it is now. Would any martial arts forces dare to act recklessly then?"
Guan Xuanyun smiled and said:
"Nine factions and six gangs would naturally not dare to be enemies of the imperial court, but the two Buddhist temples, the three Taoist sects, and the Heavenly Demon Sect are top-tier forces with a history of much longer than the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"The Blood-Clad Tower was originally a handy weapon, but because of Liu Jingfeng's appearance, it has become less handy, and may even cut its own hand."
"That's why the late emperor prepared to take action against the Blood-Clad Tower."
"But the late emperor's forceful actions had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Buddhist, Taoist, and demonic sects, so they chose a new person, who is now the Qian Emperor, to ascend the throne."
"However, I don't know whether Liu Jingfeng was involved in the death of the late emperor."
"But the Buddhist sect has definitely intervened!"
Xiao Bieli frowned.
The martial arts world and the imperial court are destined to be at odds. When martial arts heroes break the law, if the martial arts world becomes too powerful, the imperial court will inevitably fall into chaos. However, if the imperial court is strong enough, these martial arts heroes will have no choice but to behave themselves.
If the imperial court pushes too hard, forces like the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sect will indeed retaliate.
But the late emperor was killed so silently. Isn't the power of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism a bit too much?
Xiao Bieli:
"How many tribulations of lightning has the Celestial Venerable survived?"
Guan Xuanyun shook his head:
"I don't know. I've never seen them before. Whether it's the Celestial Venerable, the Heavenly Demon Cult Master, the Abbot of the Rotten Chess Temple, or any other experts, they haven't shown their faces for hundreds of years."
"But like my supervisor, they are all ancient monsters who have lived for who knows how long!"
"It seems the waters of the martial world are much deeper than I imagined!" Xiao Bieli shook his head and said calmly.
"However, none of that matters!"
"If you mess with me, I'll kill you all!"
……
"As expected... Senior Bai will indeed fight against the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli!"
"Kings never meet, but now that the two kings have met, a fierce battle is inevitable!"
"Do you think Senior Bai can deal with the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli?"
"Of course! Senior Bai is a legend in the martial arts world of the East Sea!"
"That's right... Senior Bai isn't the Lord of Dragon Island. Xiao Bieli is definitely going to die this time!"
"That's not necessarily true. Xiao Bieli's martial arts are not weak either. I'm afraid the outcome this time will be fifty-fifty!"
"..."
And as time goes by.
News has spread that Bai Tianxun, the number one martial arts master in the East Sea, known as the "Mad Saber of the East Sea," and Xiao Bieli, the "Demon Saber" who has recently gained immense popularity, will fight at Devil's Reef on the first day of the second lunar month.
The entire martial arts world of the East China Sea was in an uproar!
Ships from forces such as Whale Island and Shark Island were also dispatched.
Countless people headed towards the Devil's Reef, all eager to witness this earth-shattering battle!
