Trying to banish such unrealistic ideas from one's mind.
Dongyi City, Jianlu.
It is said to be a sword pavilion,
It was actually a dilapidated thatched hut.
But no one dared to underestimate them.
Because those who live inside...
He is Si Gu Jian, one of the four great masters in the world.
Nobody understands.
Why would a grandmaster live in such a dilapidated place?
At this moment, a figure quietly approached the Sword Pavilion.
It was none other than Si Gu Jian's eldest disciple, Yun Zhilan.
"Master!"
"Why are you here?" Si Gu Jian's somewhat hoarse voice rang out from inside the sword hut.
"Another grandmaster has emerged in the world!"
"The fifth Grandmaster?"
"That's right! The fifth Grandmaster appeared in the capital of Qing Kingdom, and he was also a swordsman!"
"How did you tell he was a Grandmaster?"
"The man cleaved the lake in two with a single sword strike, the lake's surface affected by the sword's force, splitting into two halves, and it took a long time for it to recover!"
Listening to Yun Zhilan's words.
Si Gu Jian was stunned.
He was also a sword cultivator.
The difficulty of cleaving the lake with this sword is naturally very clear.
Even he found it difficult.
The one who unleashed such a sword strike must undoubtedly be a Grandmaster!
but,
"Let him go, it's none of my business. He's in Kyoto, the one with a headache is Emperor Qing!"
Yun Zhilan shook her head upon hearing this.
"Master, according to intelligence, this Grandmaster once studied swordsmanship in our Dongyi City!"
Si Gu Jian remained silent.
How could he not remember which disciples he had?
Does he have the potential to become a grandmaster?
"What's that man's name?"
"Li Chungang!"
Yun Zhilan asked curiously, "Master, is this Li Chungang a disciple you once taught?"
In Yun Zhilan's view
The only one who could teach a Grandmaster was Si Gu Jian, who was also a Grandmaster.
a long time,
Si Gu Jian's voice rang out again:
"I really don't remember anyone named Li Chungang. I've taken on too many disciples in my life, and I've long forgotten their names!"
Yun Zhilan nodded silently.
indeed,
Everyone in the world knows that Si Gu Jian has many disciples.
There are already more than a dozen ninth-rank experts in Dongyi City alone.
In addition, there are those external ninth-rank experts who occasionally come to challenge them.
Upon returning, he also claimed that he had been instructed by Si Gu Jian.
Therefore, one of them suddenly rose to the rank of Grandmaster.
It seems that there's some truth to it.
"Investigate whether this Li Chungang has any connection with Emperor Qing,"
"I always felt that old bastard Emperor Qing was up to something!"
"is teacher!"
Yun Zhilan silently withdrew.

While reviewing the intelligence sent by the undercover agents,
Lost in thought.
"Unexpectedly, the Qing Kingdom has produced its fifth Grandmaster! This is really not good news for us!"
Haitang Duoduo frowned.
She is known as the youngest ninth-rank master in the world.
Although I don't care about these empty titles
But deep down, he always had a bit of pride.
But now,
Surprisingly,
This man named Li Chungang is younger than her.
Moreover, he has already reached the level of a Grandmaster!
This shattered the pride in Haitang Duoduo's heart.
"We must tell Master this news!"
The crabapple blossoms are in full bloom.
The matter of a Grandmaster is of utmost importance.
Only Ku He, who is also a Grandmaster, has the strength to face him.
"I have already sent someone to inform the Imperial Advisor!"
Zhan Doudou gently shook her head.
"The only good news now is that this Grandmaster named Li Chungang doesn't seem to be on Emperor Qing's side yet."
"That means we still have a chance!"
The Qing Kingdom is powerful.
Whether it was the Western Hu, the Eastern Yi, or the Northern Qi,
None of them were a match for the Qing Kingdom.
Ultimately, why hasn't the Qing Kingdom formally launched an attack on them yet?
It's because they're afraid of having a Grandmaster in charge.
Although a Grandmaster might not necessarily be able to directly confront an army of hundreds of thousands,
But if an assassination is carried out by one person,
Absolutely no one can stop it.
This would have a huge destructive impact on the management of the Qing Kingdom's high-level officials.
But now,
If the Qing Kingdom had one more Grandmaster,
It will absolutely disrupt the current balance among countries.
This is definitely not a good thing for Northern Qi!
"What should we do then? Should we have Si Lili try to contact Li Chungang?"
Haitang Duoduo asked.
"Si Lili is being kept under the protection of the Crown Prince of Qing Kingdom, making it difficult for her to leave, let alone have any contact with a Grandmaster like him!"
"There's a risk of being exposed."
Zhan Doudou sighed, "At least, the one who should be having the biggest headache right now is Emperor Qing."
"After all, an uncontrollable grandmaster is too terrifying!"
Royal Villa.
Lin Wan'er stood alone by the bedroom window, looking at the moon in the sky.
A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Wan'er couldn't help but cough violently again.
Not long ago,
The warmth that Li Chengqian left in her body finally disappeared.
The pain she had felt before returned to her entire body.
Therefore, Lin Wan'er, who was coughing incessantly, had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
