Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 183 New Martial World Ranking
When Senior Zhong entered the room, Pei Nai had already finished his breakfast and asked the palace servants to remove the plates.

Everyone started discussing business.

Zhang Sheng first told everyone about the situation outside.

First of all, there was Yue Cang. In the battle on the plain outside the southern border of the Mountain Valley Kingdom, the Qingyun Tianji fought against four enemies alone. Qi Yuebai's Qu Mufeng and Tao Jiang Tianfu Zhou Yuliang were both killed, and Zhubei's Pei Nai and Nanqiang's Gongyang Zisheng were seriously injured.

After the news spread, the inheritor of the Qingyun Tianji, the Wu clan god, was named Hongfu by the world and was located on the upper three mountains.

Ten years ago, two consecutive strongest men of the Xihandao Tuoba family were killed by Pei Nai.

Even though the Tuoba family was prosperous, the countries in the western border no longer recognized Xihan Dao's status as one of the top three mountains. After Tuoba Yan's death, one of the top three mountains became vacant.

Lingyue Mechanical Wizard Zhang Licheng sacrificed himself for the country, and Zhang Sheng succeeded him as the king and Lingyue Mechanical Wizard.

The whereabouts of Qi Yuebai's stick Qu Mufeng's master is still unknown.

The two twin brothers of Chiyue Mingsuo Meteor Hammer Sikou Xiu are still alive.

Therefore, the martial arts of Qi Yue's White Stick and Chi Yue's Ming Suo Meteor Hammer have not been cut off and still retain their place.

The fact that Huyan Weizhao's identity had been replaced for many years had been made public. He took back his Divine Axe and continued to inherit the position of Liujiang.

Zhou Yuliang, the Tianfu of Taojiang, who died under the Qingyun Tianji, and Luan Xiao, the general of the Western Territory, Yunjiang Liuhegong, who was killed by Shao Liran, both had no descendants who could inherit their martial arts lineage, and therefore were removed from the Six Rivers.

Although Xing Taizhao, the master of Xuanjiang Wind and Thunder Eight Spindle Hammers, is still alive, his son Xing Xiaoren is treacherous, bullies the weak, and persists in evil. His actions are despised by the world and will be infamous for eternity. Moreover, the Wind and Thunder Eight Spindle Hammers have been melted down by Zhang Sheng.

The Xing family was stripped of the title of Liujiang from then on.

Three positions in the Six Rivers were vacant within just one month, but new forces immediately took their places.

Each of them has his or her own characteristics, and has made outstanding military achievements in their respective countries. Their strength should not be underestimated.

The first one is Shao Liran from Tianyao Pei family army.

As a rising star, he first won the championship in the Dengyun Heroes Conference, and then killed the main general of the Wu army, Yunjiang Liuhe Bow Luanxiao, among tens of thousands of people in the Battle of Yunxuan.

Later, he was granted the title of General Duxi of the second rank, in charge of the military power of the third and fourth tiger-marked armies of the Pei family's independent army, and he repeatedly made remarkable achievements in assisting the countries in the mountain valley.

The sword technique he created himself is so superb that it has been dubbed the new Liujiang by martial artists and the general public. His martial art is named: Huijiang Duxi Changdao - Shao Liran!

Second, the Wu tribe launched an expedition to Yuesi Ridge.

A young general of the Wu clan who has emerged in recent years. It was his army that destroyed the State of Lu.

He led only 100,000 Wu cavalrymen to break through the Lu defense line, march straight into the capital of Lu, capture the king alive, and flatten the territory of Lu.

In just over a month, a country completely ceased to exist.

A month ago, Mengjia, a small country in the southwest of the Western Territory, refused to accept the rule of the Wu tribe and announced its withdrawal from the Western Territory Alliance. It was sentenced to treason by the Wu tribe's god.

Yue Siji led the expeditionary army southward to attack Mengjia.

According to the latest news received after the Valley Kingdom Counterattack, Mengjia has been destroyed.

In order to consolidate their wildness, every general in the Western Territory grew up in brutal fighting, and every level of selection was made by stepping on the corpses of countless peers.

Especially when it comes to the level of general, their behavior is somewhat crazy.

Yue Siji is no exception, he has a morbid obsession with mutilated limbs and cut flesh.

They even often deliberately left enemy prisoners behind, killing and torturing them every day, using the gushing blood to wash their weapons.

He held two extremely sharp karma-destroying flywheels and faced the two hundred amulets that Mengjia was proud of. He actually stopped the army and fought alone, killing all two hundred warriors and winning the victory.

It is said that of the two hundred Mengjia guardians who fought against him, none of their remains were intact.

That day, the square in front of the Mengjia Palace was covered with broken limbs and blood.

He led the army with ferocity and brutality, intimidating the countries in the west, and was promoted to the position of Liujiang by the martial artists. His martial name was: Tujiang Destroying Karma Flying Wheel - Yue Siji!

Third, the Yunjiang God of War Helian Dunru.

Helian Dunru is the chief commander of the Yunjiang Kingdom in the western border. He is famous for his unique two-handed weapon, the Dahe Star Chasing Crossbow.

His crossbow sword can be used for rapid shooting of crossbows, and can also be used for close combat, and his sword skills are also exquisite and outstanding.

He already had the strength of Liujiang, but Yunjiang had been secluded for many years and had no intention of getting involved in external disputes. In addition, the position of Liujiang was full, so he had not been selected into the list of Wujie. The fate of Mengjia and other small countries in the western border frightened many neutral countries including Yunjiang. They knew that they could not fight against the Wu people, so they were forced to join the Western Border Alliance in the near future, stand with the Wu people, and become their vassal in order to preserve their own country.

After the Yunjiang Kingdom lifted the ban on its isolation, it officially joined the Wu clan camp.

Helian Dunru was also named the new Liujiang by the martial artists, and his martial name was: Yujiang Divine Arm Crossbow and Double Swords - Helian Dunru!
From then on, Hongfujushang, three mountains and five peaks, Zhongchuan and six rivers had new demarcations.

[The flood is overwhelming, like the sky pressing down on one’s head]: Qingyun Tianji—the God of the Wu Clan.

[Climbing the Three Mountains, sharing the burden with the country, the source of people's hearts]: Tianyao Zhubei Spear - Pei Nai, Qilu Nanqiang Sword - Gongyang Zisheng, one of the three mountains is vacant.

[Five Mountains, aristocratic families, a hundred years of orthodoxy]: Wanyue Blood Whip - Han Ruize, Lingyue Mechanical Warlock - Zhang Sheng, Jiangyue Poison Witch Hunter - Lei Laweng, Qiyue White Stick - Qu Baiyi, Chiyue Mingsuo Meteor Hammer - Sikorsa, Sikorle.

[Nakagawa, helping the world in times of crisis, compassionate and peaceful]: Dingguang Compassionate Palm - the holy monk Nakagawa.

[Heroes from the Six Rivers, new generation heroes, admired by the world]: Huojiang Dandao Shenqi Yin Gong - Gu Jinheng, Huijiang Duxi Long Sword - Shao Liran, Tujiang Mieye Flying Wheel - Yue Siji, Yujiang Shenbi Liannu Double Swords - Helian Dunru, Hejiang Zhanshenyue - Huyan Weizhao, Taijiang Prajna Step - Du Ling.

They should have been happy for Shao Liran.

But combined with what Zhang Sheng said about the movements in the western border, plus the fact that Yue Cang's name Hongfu stretched across the three mountains and five peaks.

The Qingyun Tianji is always like a sharp knife hanging over everyone's head, making people feel uneasy.

The Wu tribe and the countries in the western border are rushing to gather their forces. The full-scale war between the eastern and western borders across the entire continent will soon break out!
This is an unprecedented war of the century. No one can predict the outcome, and no country can escape it.

But everyone's life and death depends on the blade.

The force of force and military power will determine the ultimate fate of the world.

Afterwards, Zhang Sheng and the others placed a long nanmu wooden box with gold edges on the table.

He opened the lid and inside was a brand new long knife, the square and wide knife that Shao Liran often used.

The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, with graceful lines and a cold glow.

The grooves on the blade reveal its mystery and uniqueness, and it must have been made by a top master.

Zhang Sheng said slowly, "Since the day you arrived, I asked the best casting master to start preparations. Pei Nai and Grandma Axun happened to bring out the Silver Glowing Water Jade from the Twenty-One Region. It uses Gongshan Mystic Stone and Silver Glowing Water Jade as raw materials. I can clearly say that the hardness of this long sword is no less than any weapon in the world, and it can be compared with the Qingyun Tianji, Zhubei Spear, Nanqiang Sword, Hunxi Whip and other magical weapons."

Shao Liran stood there in a daze, almost unable to take his eyes away.

His previous weapon was just an ordinary black iron sword. He never thought that he would own a weapon made of Gongshan black stone.

Until Zhang Sheng pushed the wooden box and the long sword in front of him, Zhang Sheng said: "General Shao, this is a thank-you gift from the Valley Country. The war is coming, and you will definitely need it. Please accept it."

　【Shao Liran/Character Story Card】（1/3）

　　Shao Liran used a total of twenty-six long swords in his life.

　　The previous twenty-five were all ordinary black iron swords, which were damaged during his fighting or martial arts training.

　　The last knife was specially made for him by the Valley Kingdom using Gongshan black stone. It was made of the same material as the Zhubei Spear and Hunxi Whip. Its name was: Duxi Long Knife. It was the weapon he used when he became Liujiang and it accompanied him throughout his life.

　　But what he remembers most is his first knife.

　　In the 21st year of Zhengkang, he was only seven years old and lived with his family in a small county town west of Tianyao.

　　The Wu tribe used explosives to blast open the gap between Tianyao's border wall and a mountain, bypassing Tianyao's six western cities and attacking straight eastward.

　　The Wu army broke through their county town and after entering the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of atrocities, causing great suffering to the people.

　　Shao Liran's parents died tragically at the hands of the Wu clan.

　　His grandmother took him, who was seven years old at the time, and hid in the cellar, but they were eventually discovered and dragged out by the Wu clan.

　　The Wu soldiers were greedy for money and pointed swords at his family to find out where his valuables were. In order to save him, his grandmother ran to the house and took out all the valuable jewelry and objects.

　　But the Wu soldier was not satisfied. His grandmother knelt down for him and cried and begged the Wu people to let the young boy go.

　　The Wu soldiers were furious and wanted to kill her immediately. Suddenly, the sound of countless horse hooves was heard in the distance, deafening and drowning out the screams and cries from the outside.

　　The Wu soldiers reacted, but the man was addicted to killing, and his eyes were still red before he left, and he didn't want to spare their lives.

　　Shao Liran struggled, and pushed back with his elbow, pushing the Wu soldier away. As a young boy, he was able to move quickly and ran outside, pulling his grandmother along.
