anger.
Everyone's eyes were filled with boundless anger.
"Mr. Li, please don't do this!"
"What exactly happened to Qing'er? You'd better explain yourself clearly!"
"That's right, you're not going to tell us that Qing'er is already dead, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and looked down.
"When did I say Qing'er was dead?"
"So she's still alive?"
"I didn't say she was alive!"
""
Do you know how uncomfortable this feeling is? It feels like countless ants are crawling all over your body.
You can't just do whatever you want because you're good at martial arts!
Looking at the expressions of the crowd below, Li Chengqian's lips began to curl upwards.
The law of conservation of energy is indeed true; a smile doesn't disappear into thin air, it simply transfers from one person's face to another's.
"Alright everyone, the main part of the storytelling session is now over."
"Next up is some casual talk about storytelling."
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, although everyone was unwilling, they still forced themselves to quiet down.
After all, the Grandmaster Ranking of the Ming Dynasty is quite appealing.
Wow!
Li Chengqian unfolded his folding fan, pondered for a moment, and said, "In the last storytelling session, we already commented on the bottom five of the Grand Masters of the Ming Dynasty."
"Next up are the top five."
"Zhang San and Li Si are ranked fifth on the list of Grandmasters of the Ming Dynasty."
Everyone:? ? ?
Who has that name?
Does "Zhang San and Li Si" refer to one person or two people?
Li Chengqian took in the confusion on everyone's faces.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Zhang San and Li Si are actually the envoys for rewarding good and punishing evil that you all talk about."
"The origin of these two names is quite an interesting story."
"When Shi Potian, the leader of the Shi Gang, encountered the Envoy of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil in the wild, Shi Gang was inexperienced in the ways of the world and was kind-hearted by nature."
"So he didn't know any 'rewarding good and punishing evil' officials, and he treated these two strangers with great hospitality."
"During the conversation, the Envoy of Rewards and Punishments discovered that Shi Potian possessed extraordinary strength, so he became wary and thought that the person in front of him was there to deal with the two of them."
"But after spending some time together, the reward and punishment system finally made sense."
"The person before me is indeed a pure-hearted person, not someone with ill intentions."
"Therefore, the three of them became sworn brothers in the wilderness. At that time, the envoy who rewarded good and punished evil was unwilling to reveal his real name, so he used this alias."
After he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized what he meant.
"So that's it!"
"No wonder the Rewards and Punishments Envoy always calls Chief Shi 'Third Brother,' there's such a connection between them."
"But speaking of which, Chief Shi is really honest and simple-minded. What if I encountered two mysterious people with high martial arts skills in the wild?"
"I will be extremely vigilant."
"Let's put those issues aside for now. I'm more concerned about where Chief Shi will rank on the Grandmaster list."
"A person who can reward good and punish evil and earn praise must be quite powerful."
"But now that the Rewards and Punishments Envoys have appeared, it's clear that Shi Potian is above them."
"Mr. Li wouldn't put him in the top three, would he?"
Upon hearing this, some martial arts practitioners said unhappily, "Why think so much?"
"Shut your mouths and listen to what Mr. Li has to say."
Once the area below gradually quieted down, Li Chengqian continued, "The martial arts of the Rewards and Punishments Envoy have reached their pinnacle."
"Logically speaking, fifth place is a bit low."
"However, considering that Xia Ke Island has a large number of people, and that their martial arts have all gone astray."
"After comprehensive consideration, he was placed fifth on the Grandmaster list."
"However, it should be noted that the ranking of the Good and the Evil Envoy represents the average level of Xia Ke Dao."
"Except for the two island lords of Xia Ke Island, Long and Mu."
Everyone:? ? ?
What do you mean? The system of rewarding good and punishing evil is only at the average level of Xia Ke Dao. Don't scare me!
Li Chengqian's words immediately made some of the travelers at the inn break out in a cold sweat.
The "Reward Good and Punish Evil" principle made him famous in the martial arts world for thirty years, during which time he had virtually no rivals.
However, you tell me that this is only the average level of Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛).
How does this work?
Thinking of this, some of the martial arts practitioners' eyes immediately wandered.
Everyone knew that Mr. Li was going to Xia Ke Island. After learning that Mr. Li was going to Xia Ke Island...
Some people also had ulterior motives.
Almost everyone who goes to Xia Ke Island in the martial arts world never comes back.
Therefore, Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛) was regarded by people in the martial arts world as a place that devours people without spitting out their bones.
Now that Mr. Li is going to wipe out Xia Ke Island, of course I should get involved in such a major event in the martial arts world!
However, after learning about the terrifying strength of Xia Ke Island, everyone began to have second thoughts.
Since Mr. Li dared to go to Xia Ke Dao, it means he had a certain degree of confidence.
But there are many experts there. If Mr. Li misses one or two, we small fry will be wiped out!
Li Chengqian saw right through everyone's little schemes at the inn.
However, Li Chengqian made no attempt to explain, stating that the trip to Xia Ke Island was a stroke of luck, an incredible stroke of luck.
If they can muster the courage to go to Xia Ke Island with him, he won't hesitate to go.
But if they are afraid and thus cannot go to Xia Ke Island, then they have no one to blame but themselves.
Wanting an opportunity but being unable to make a decision—there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Li Chengqian spoke directly before anyone could press him further about Xia Ke Island.
"The fourth-ranked official in the four lists of the Great Ming Dynasty, Guan Yutian."
"Guan Yutian, leader of the Supreme Alliance."
"This man is very shrewd and cunning; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a ruthless and ambitious figure."
"His martial arts skills include the Mighty Dragon Palm and Innate Qi."
"Although the Mighty Dragon Palm is a powerful martial art, it is far inferior to Guan Yutian's innate qi."
"Innate Qi is a genuine Xuanmen type of Qi martial art, which uses one's own true Qi to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to form a protective Qi."
"Not only is its defense extremely strong, but it can also reflect enemy attacks back completely."
"This innate qi cannot be broken by anyone other than a Martial King."
"After careful consideration, it has been placed in fourth place."
""
In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, has the Grandmaster Ranking just been swept away like that?
They always say that only a Martial King realm expert can break through it. Does that mean Martial King realm experts are as common as radishes and cabbages?
Furthermore, their innate qi has reached a level that only experts at the Martial King realm can break.
Why is he only ranked fourth? Shouldn't someone like him be ranked first?
The mouths of the people in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty twitched. They had once wanted to find a loophole in Mr. Li's strategy.
This was to prove that the Ming Dynasty was not much stronger than the Song Dynasty.
But now it's always said that only those at the Martial King realm can break through, so what's the point of competing?
Chapter 351 Reveals the Secret of the Frost Sword, Ren Qianxing's Little Thoughts
After hearing Guan Yutian's comments, the Jianghu Traveler of the Great Song Dynasty fell into deep self-doubt.
It seems that the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty is truly at the bottom among the six great dynasties.
I wish I could have been born in the Ming Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the martial arts practitioners of the Ming Dynasty were not particularly happy either.
They are said to be invincible to anyone below the Martial King realm, capable of fighting against even a Grandmaster at the peak.
Why is it so hard to survive in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty?
With these people above me, when will I ever get my chance to rise above them?
Speaking of which, the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty is still the best. There aren't many masters there, so I should be able to make a name for myself if I go there.
Room No. 7, Tianzi.
A young man with a furrowed brow was Ren Qianxing, whom Guan Yutian had sent to gather information.
