While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

Recalling his meeting with Wuyazi, he realized that his words were useless as the other party directly chose him as his successor.

How similar is this time?

Jiang Sishui even suspected that she had activated the most unsolvable "protagonist halo".

Otherwise, how could they be so lucky?

After running quite a distance, figuring that Huang Yaoshi wouldn't catch up, he put Huang Rong down.

Huang Rong glanced in the direction and asked knowingly, "This is Leigu Mountain, what are you going back for?"

Before Jiang Sishui could answer, Huang Rong exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "Ah, I know, you have an old flame on the mountain, don't you?"

"Let me guess, is it Miss Zhao from the Central Plains Escort Agency, or Miss Wang from Taihu Lake?"

A sly glint flashed in Huang Rong's beautiful eyes, which curved into crescent moons as she smiled. She wanted to see how Jiang Sishui would answer this potentially fatal question.

Jiang Sishui was indeed caught off guard, but before he could even speak, a warning signal suddenly arose in his mind!

Cicada's awakening!

Jiang Sishui's expression changed, and she grabbed Huang Rong, unleashing her "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique). She took a step west, but her body mysteriously appeared in the northeast, dodging the sudden claw attack.

A surprised exclamation rang out, followed by the clear sound of fingers flicking metal.

Immediately afterwards, the metal broke, and half of the sword fell to the ground.

Looking at the overlapping afterimages before him, the attacker let out a cold laugh.

The next moment, a fierce wind arose, and the weather changed drastically! (Up)

101. Innate Qi? You're no good as a celestial being!

Jiang Sishui's agile figure froze, as if she were trapped in a quagmire. The afterimages left by her "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique) due to its excessive speed also disappeared.

At the same time, he felt as if the whole world was against him, rejecting and squeezing him, even trying to bind him to the spot.

Manipulating celestial phenomena with human power and using the power of heaven and earth for their own purposes is the hallmark of the Celestial Beings and their greatest reliance in crushing Grandmasters.

The attacker was a god!

Jiang Sishui recognized the other person's appearance with just a quick glance.

As expected, it was Zhu Wushi, whom he had been wary of!

"Can't run away."

Although Jiang Sishui was startled, he remained calm and knew that the "Golden Wheel of the Sun Shadow" would be activated. He had a sudden inspiration.

He stopped and stood to the side, his upper body tilted back to face the sky, his hands one above the other, making a gesture of worshipping the moon.

"Primordial Qi!"

As soon as Wei Yan Hongda finished speaking, a protective light shield opened up around him, with countless light and shadow and air currents flowing on it, forcefully blocking the claw that was grabbing at him!

The claw shadow paused for a moment, then transformed into a palm, and then into a fist, each strike powerful and heavy, more ferocious than the last.

However, no matter how much his attacks intensified, the protective light shield remained unmoved, like a stabilizing pillar, so solid that it inspired despair.

Zhu ignored him with a cold snort, clenched his right fist, and delivered a seemingly slow but actually fast punch that slammed down hard!

This punch moved with the force of wind and clouds, as if it were using all the power of the surrounding small world to strike at once, determined to shatter the protective light barrier in one fell swoop!

Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.

He unleashed a punch with eighty or ninety percent of his strength, but the protective aura remained completely still, as if mocking him for being like an ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating his own abilities.

Zhu Wushi finally stopped, his face ashen, and looked at Jiang Sishui with a grave expression.

"Innate Qi? The 'Innate Qi' of the Supreme Alliance of Zhizhou? What is your relationship with Guan Yutian?" Zhu Wushi asked instinctively.

At the same time, his heart was filled with doubt and confusion.

In Zhizhou, there is a powerful force called the Supreme Alliance. Its leader, Guan Yutian, is a celestial master at the Golden Core stage of martial arts, and his signature martial art is "Innate Qi"!

Although Zhu Wushi had never met Guan Yutian in person, as one of the overlords of Zhizhou, the Supreme Alliance's information was naturally kept in the archives of the Dragon Guard Manor.

According to Zhu Wushi's analysis, "Innate Qi" is definitely a sacred text.

But this skill actually allowed a Grandmaster to withstand the attack of a Celestial being? That's just too outrageous!

Is it because this is a purely defensive martial art that it has such strong resistance?

At this moment, Zhu Wushi felt a deep sense of doubt.

Either the "innate qi" used by this kid is different from that of Guan Yutian, or he has underestimated Guan Yutian.

Jiang Sishui slowly "finished her practice," and the protective aura around her dissipated.

Zhu Wushi's eyes flashed, and his hand clenched slightly, but in the end he did not make another move.

It's very simple. Jiang Sishui is on guard against him. As soon as he makes a move, "Lingbo Weibu" will dodge.

To restrict "Lingbo Weibu," one must again borrow the power of heaven and earth, but the unity of heaven and man takes time, and Jiang Sishui can easily repeat the same trick.

In doing so, there is no benefit whatsoever except for a great loss of face.

Jiang Sishui wrapped her left arm around Huang Rong's waist, feigning wariness, her actions a mix of truth and deception, leaving Zhu Wushi unable to discern her true intentions.

Huang Rong didn't struggle and quietly watched the confrontation between the two, cooperating perfectly.

Without answering Zhu Wushi's question, Jiang Sishui said coldly, "Do I have a grudge against the Divine Marquis?"

"You know me?" Zhu Wushi's small, stern eyes narrowed slightly.

He was confident that he could easily capture the enemy this time, so he made no attempt to hide it.

However, he was truly surprised that Jiang Sishui recognized his identity at first glance.

It should be noted that Zhu Wushi was a marquis of the Ming Dynasty. While the title "Iron-Blooded Marquis" was certainly prestigious, his influence would plummet once he left the five prefectures of the Ming Dynasty.

In the five prefectures of the Ming Dynasty, most people had only heard of him but never seen him. Now, he was in Suzhou, a foreign land, and had been recognized by a young man who should not have much knowledge.

The information revealed here is worth considering.

"We know each other, how could we not know each other?"

Jiang Sishui looked at the broken sword in her right hand and said calmly, "What if I don't recognize it and end up looking for the wrong person later?"

His expression remained calm, but his heart was far from at peace.

The gap between a Grandmaster and a Celestial Being was somewhat beyond his imagination.

Just now, when I countered with a sword imbued with my true energy, Zhu Wushi snapped the sword in two with a flick of his finger!

While the opponent's superior finger skills certainly played a part, it also revealed the vast difference in skill between them...

Even without the unity of heaven and man, Zhu Wushi is no match for him. Perhaps he can only rely on the agility of "Lingbo Weibu" to deal with him and remain undefeated.

"Celestial beings..."

Jiang Sishui's slight sense of pride in advancing to Grandmaster overnight vanished instantly.

Upon hearing Jiang Sishui's words, a cold glint flashed in Zhu Wushi's narrow eyes.

Zhu Wushi, a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, was not afraid.

Although Jiang Sishui, at the young age of twenty, outsmarted several grandmasters yesterday, and the "Zhenlong Illusion Array" was infamous, many people were intimidated by the mysterious Xiaoyao Sect.

But he noticed a detail—Ding Chunqiu.

If the Free and Unfettered Sect is really that powerful, how could they not even eliminate a traitor who is a Grandmaster?

Su Xinghe was even forced to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Afterwards, the heroes descended the mountain, and Zhu Wushi secretly observed them, discovering that the deaf-mute disciples had gone down the mountain to purchase items needed for the funeral.

So who died?

Considering the sudden decrease in the power of the "Precious Illusion Array," Zhu Wushi had an answer in his mind.

Jiang Sishui, being a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, was of the same generation as Su Xinghe, yet none of the "Eight Friends of Hangu" recognized him, which meant that he joined the sect very late.

In addition, many people saw Jiang Sishui go up the mountain the night before last and even enter the illusion array...

Zhu Wushi compared the timelines of the various clues and combined them with the information he had gathered, quickly arriving at a conclusion—

Su Xinghe's master died, which greatly reduced the power of the illusion array. Before his death, he passed on his power to Jiang Sishui, which enabled the latter to ascend to the heavens in one step!

3.7 Nowadays, the strongest member of the Free and Unfettered Sect is probably Grandmaster Jiang Sishui.

To outsiders, a Grandmaster is naturally unattainable, but to celestial beings, he is nothing more than that.

However, Jiang Sishui's "turtle shell" and her hidden identity and background made Zhu Wushi wary.

The thought crossed his mind, but instead of being annoyed, Zhu Wushi smiled and said, "Young brother, you've probably misunderstood."

"The reason I am traveling through the states is to find a talented person to fill the last position of the four secret agents of my Dragon Guard Manor."

"I was so impressed by your extraordinary skills that I couldn't help but try them out. I was being presumptuous."

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I wonder if you, young brother, would be interested in taking over the position of the number one secret agent of the Dragon Guard Manor?"

Jiang Sishui looked at Zhu Wushi's kind smile and didn't expose him, saying, "Divine Marquis, how about we make a deal?"

102. Innuendo, Zhu, who was being manipulated, ignored it.

Seeing that Jiang Sishui didn't respond and instead changed the subject, Zhu Wushi smiled slightly and said generously, "Young brother, just tell me what you want. I will certainly not be stingy with what I can give you."
