My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 926 Speculation, Going Up the Mountain (Two chapters combined)

Whoosh!Whoosh!
In a deep mountain,
Two dark figures flashed past like lightning and landed in a hidden dark room.

Grandma Snake staggered to the ground, her face as pale as paper, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She trembled as she leaned against the wall, her eyes still filled with shock and a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Damn it! How could that brat be so strong?!"

At this time,
Beside her,
The young man clutched his fractured right arm, a look of fear and uncertainty flashing in his eyes, as he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"He actually caught the Seven Fiend Soul-Chasing Needles with his bare hands! Such skill, such strength... is probably no less than that of a Grandmaster!"

Until this moment,

Between talking,

The young man's eyes were still filled with disbelief!

I can hardly believe that what I just experienced is real!

too exaggerated!

Although he had only just entered the realm of the Innate Grandmaster, with the powerful Qi cultivation method he practiced and the strong martial arts he mastered, he was not afraid of the older generation of Innate Grandmasters at all!

He had originally thought that although the world was vast, there were few people in the world who could pose a threat to him.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such a monster as soon as he left the mountain!

In front of the other party,
Their proud methods crumbled at the slightest touch!
Even though he hasn't advanced to the Innate Realm or reached the Grandmaster Realm, he still possesses strength comparable to defying the heavens!
This was simply unimaginable for the young man!

How could someone, especially a mere ten-year-old brat, possess strength far exceeding his own level of cultivation?!

If it were only when he was facing the other person that he acted this way, then that would be one thing.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Jingyu's skills were not good enough that his opponent found a weakness and easily crushed him.

But the problem is,

The renowned Snake Granny, who had been famous in the martial arts world for many years, also made her move!

And the result of the action was exactly as expected!
Just like him,

They couldn't hold out for long before being utterly crushed!
This Snake Granny is not a newly promoted Xiantian (a high-level martial arts expert) who has only recently entered the martial world; she is a renowned figure in the entire martial arts world!
With his unpredictable and bizarre magical techniques, his strength is so great that he would definitely rank among the top twenty among all the innate grandmasters in the entire martial arts world!
If it's limited to the Innate Grandmaster level, then almost no one in the entire martial arts world is qualified to pose a life threat to him!

It is said that Master Li paid a heavy price to win over the other party!
However, this powerful elder statesman...
Even in front of that brat, he was still easily defeated!

Although he had already been blasted away at that time
But he did not lose consciousness at that time, and therefore he could clearly see that the two deadly moves that Granny Snake made were broken by Shen Changchuan with a simple gesture!

Even the Seven Fiend Soul-Chasing Needles, which he used to achieve his infamous reputation, were snatched away by that brat with a flick of his wrist!
Even at this moment,
Recalling what had just happened,

Xiao Jingyu felt a sense of incomprehension and bewilderment!

A mere peak-level brat,

How did they manage to achieve that?!
I can't understand it.

unimaginable!

And it was precisely when Xiao Jingyu was questioning the meaning of life that...
On the other side, Granny Snake's withered fingers gripped her snake staff tightly, her voice hoarse:
"Lu Changhe died without cause. With that kind of strength, we could easily defeat Lu Changhe head-on!"

"That brat didn't succeed by luck; he truly crushed his opponent with his strength!"

"The Beggars' Sect, humph! Needless to say, they tampered with those rumors along the way!"

"Damn the Beggars' Sect!"

Compared to Xiao Jingyu, Granny Snake was far more knowledgeable and composed.

Although she was also incredulous at the strength Shen Changchuan had demonstrated.

But she knew that there were always some illogical things in this world.

From the day they were born, they were destined to be influential figures standing at the top!

In the presence of such figures, the so-called common sense and norms of the martial arts world are destined to be broken!

Just like that universally acknowledged leader of the Six Paths of Demonic Cult—the Demon Emperor!
When she was young, Granny Snake had seen that person's unparalleled heroic figure!

That being was destined to be invincible from the moment it was born!

Just one glance at the other person and you wouldn't even have the slightest thought of fighting against them!
So much so that in her eyes,
Shen Changchuan's performance is still not as impressive as that of the Demon Emperor in his youth!
It is precisely because of this,
Although she found it hard to believe the terrifying combat power Shen Changchuan displayed, she eventually accepted it, and her expression returned to calm.

Xiao Jingyu was unaware of her grandmother's thoughts.

Seeing that the other person's expression quickly calmed down, he couldn't help but feel a little impressed. As expected of a strong person from the older generation, his character was indeed very steady.

Xiao Jingyu's mind calmed down as a result.

"I have a feeling that the Beggars' Clan will suffer a great loss in the future if they underestimate that brat so much!"

"They will naturally reap what they sow!"

"But that's the Beggars' Sect's business, it has little to do with us."

Xiao Jingyu's face was gloomy.

"The most important thing right now is still Master Li's mission."

"It seems that kid is determined not to join the Black Ice Guard. How should we report back now?"

at this time,

He also recalled Shen Changchuan's words about "the superiority of being a dog," and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

I wish I could run back and beat that brat to death, skin him alive, and tear him limb from limb!

To say such a thing,
obviously,
The other party is planning to completely destroy Black Ice Platform.

Failure to complete Master Li's mission made Xiao Jingyu even more displeased.

"How else can you report it? Just tell the truth."

"After all, we were quite polite at first, but that brat didn't know what was good for him and spoke ill of us, which led to the conflict."

Grandma Snake waved her hand, not seeming to care much about it.

Black ice is not like gold, which everyone likes.

They originally thought that Shen Changchuan had offended the Beggars' Sect and was now desperate, so joining the Black Platform was his only option. That's why they went to invite him.

But now it seems,
That brat is no weakling at all.

Even without joining a shady platform, they probably believe they have the confidence to face the Beggars' Sect.

These young people, without experiencing the harsh realities of life, naturally harbor an arrogance that makes them the greatest in the world and unwilling to be subservient to others.

As the leader of the Black Ice Guard, Master Li would naturally understand the reasons behind this and wouldn't blame them too much.

"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, that brat first appeared in Changhe Town, right?"

Suddenly, Granny Snake seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"Yes."

"According to Lu Wenzong, a junior he once favored, who had a special talent for smelling and was preparing to take as his disciple, was killed by that brat in Changhe Town four years ago."

"That's also where that brat first appeared."

"How do you say that?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at Granny Snake beside him and said with some surprise.

I don't know why the other party suddenly brought this up.

"If the teacher remembers correctly, Changhe Town is located within the area of ​​the eight prefectures along the Wei River."

Grandma Snake's voice was eerie.
She didn't finish her sentence.
But a flash of inspiration struck Xiao Jingyu, and he suddenly realized what the other party meant.

"Grandma, are you saying that brat is a remnant of the Eight Counties of Wei River?" Xiao Jingyu's expression changed slightly.
He couldn't possibly be unaware of the massacre that occurred eight years ago in the eight prefectures along the Wei River.

That upheaval wiped out millions of people in the eight prefectures along the Wei River!
Xiao Jingyu didn't care about right or wrong.

He was a member of the Black Ice Guard, which, under Master Li's leadership, worked for the King of Wei.

Then the King of Wei's decision back then was absolutely correct!
The ordinary people from the eight prefectures along the Wei River who were killed back then can only be considered as having bad luck.

If that kid really was an orphan who survived by sheer luck back then...

Therefore, calling them remnants is quite accurate.

just,

In this case,
Doesn't that brat have a blood feud with King Wei and them?
No wonder,

After they introduced themselves, the other party's attitude subtly changed, and they unequivocally rejected their invitation.

Xiao Jingyu's gaze shifted, his eyes turning somewhat gloomy.

"Probably so."

"The first place they appeared was within the territory of the eight prefectures of the Wei River. They seemed to harbor a lot of malice towards the Black Ice Terrace. I don't believe that these are all coincidences."

"In that case, it is only natural that our invitation failed."

Grandma Snake is definitely authentic.

Although there was no direct evidence, her intuition told her that this was the truth!
"That must be the case."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief.

That's fine too.

It's not that they didn't try; it's that the mission was destined to fail from the start.

"In that case, I'll be mortal enemies with that brat!"

"When we get back, we must remind Master Li that the kid's strength is somewhat strange. We need to nip it in the bud as soon as possible to prevent it from growing into a major threat in the future!"

Between talking,

A cold killing intent flashed in Xiao Jingyu's eyes.

That brat is so young, yet he possesses such formidable strength.
Even before advancing to the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, he was able to easily defeat them!

If a few more years pass, and he advances to the Innate Grandmaster realm, or even breaks through to the Great Grandmaster realm, then who will be able to subdue him?
Therefore,
That brat must die!
We must nip it in the bud before it grows up!

"Indeed."

"If we cannot eliminate it in time, it will surely become a major threat to us in the future!"

"It's a pity that such a peerless genius is destined to perish prematurely!"

"However, who can blame him for his bad luck in getting into such a big mess? He's just unlucky."

Snake Granny glanced at Xiao Jingyu.
The killing intent emanating from the other party was enough to make me understand their thoughts.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she felt a pang of regret. Such a prodigy was about to fall from grace.

But he didn't say much more.

After all, she was also a member of the Black Ice Guard, so she naturally stood on the side of the King of Wei and was destined to be on the opposite side of Shen Changchuan.

As for Shen Changchuan's fate,

She has already seen it.

With such a deep-seated blood feud, Master Li could not possibly allow it to continue to grow.

Master Li is a powerful figure who can mobilize even the connections of a Grandmaster.

Whether it's a conspiracy or a scheme,
Or should we directly unleash the power of the Black Ice Platform to strangle them?

That brat,

They were already certain to die!

There is absolutely no chance of survival!
This is the power of the government.

That's why she joined the Black Ice Station and became an official member!

Grandma Snake sighed inwardly.

What's happening outside,

Shen Changchuan had no idea.

At this time, he

They had already reached the gates of the Six Harmonies Sect.

The arrival of Shen Changchuan brought both surprise and joy to the entire Liuhe Sect.

What was astonishing was that after the battle of Sanjiang City, Shen Changchuan's name had become famous throughout the land.
Furthermore, Guo Jianglong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, publicly stated at the Southwest Martial Arts Conference that he would definitely seek justice for Lu Changhe, and Shen Changchuan had already become the target of public criticism in the martial arts world.

The arrival of such a "public enemy of the martial arts world" at the center of a vortex would startle anyone.

The good news is that no matter what, Shen Changchuan is capable of killing a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

His strength is already legendary in the martial arts world!
Such strength is absolutely unattainable for the Liuhe Sect, which has only produced one or two Innate Grandmasters in its hundreds of years of history!
No matter how big the storms surrounding him,
These are figures who are beyond the reach of the Six Harmonies Sect!
It was an absolute honor for the Liuhe Sect to have such a legendary figure personally visit their mountain gate!
Also because of this,

Regarding Shen Changchuan's arrival,

The Liuhe faction was both surprised and delighted, their emotions were complex.

However,

Shen Changchuan didn't care at all.

After the elders and disciples of the Six Harmonies Sect left, he, Liu Ruyin, and Liu Zhenshan, the sect leader of the Six Harmonies Sect, entered into a more private conversation.
Shen Changchuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

He wanted to see the diagram of the 108 acupoints on the human body that had been passed down by the Liuhe School, hoping that the other party could grant his request.

In return, he owed the Liuhe Sect and Liu Zhenshan a favor.

If needed, we will do our best to help!

When Shen Changchuan revealed the purpose of his trip...
Liu Zhenshan suddenly glanced at Liu Ruyin.
But the latter looked down at his toes, as if he could see a flower in them, ignoring his father's gaze.

Liu Zhenshan persisted, but also let out a long sigh.

he knows,
The daughter probably already knew everything.

Knowing the burdens on their shoulders, and understanding the current crisis facing the Liuhe faction.

The reason she told Shen Changchuan this secret was probably to get a powerful outside help so that she could lighten her burden.

For a time,

Liu Zhenshan felt extremely conflicted.

Having lived most of my life, I truly feel like a useless person.

Years ago, he couldn't save his wife's life, and now he has to make his daughter, who is not yet twenty, worry about him. He's risking his life to find ways to lighten his burden.
Why is this so!
A thousand bitter thoughts welled up in Liu Zhenshan's heart.

"Don't worry, young friend. That thing is said to be a closely guarded secret of our Six Harmonies Sect, but it's actually not anything important."

"My Liu family has passed down this item for many years, but we have never seen many Grandmasters of the Innate Realm appear. The reason we have kept it as a secret is simply to prevent it from being coveted by unscrupulous people."

"Young friend, if you wish to see it, you may take it and read it."

"I only hope that after this is over, you will keep it a secret, so as not to attract the covetousness of outsiders."
