After Favorability Is Maxed

This was because the first ranking of the Singing Sword Ranking had been spread to every sect and it had become the most talked about topic outside of cultivation. Even though Geng Qi had stolen the limelight, the top few on the Singing Sword Ranking were still the hot topic.

The name that attracted the most attention was Jiang Feng.

Whether it was the matter of being personally received by the Sword Pavilion Master before the competition, his sudden rise to second place, or the little clues he had with those extraordinary women in all aspects, all of them made him curious about this mysterious character.

However, on the day the Tideviewing and Sword-listening conference ended, such a hot topic was involved in the demonic sect’s operation against the Sword Pavilion. After he turned the tide against the White Dragon River and saved the City of Ten Thousand Swords, he disappeared without a trace, and his life and death were unknown.

This undoubtedly added some heroic legendary colors to his mysteriousness, making people click their tongues in praise.

While Liu Yuan was trapped in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, news about him had spread to all the sects in the Central Plains.

Most importantly, the Green Centipede was very efficient when it came to gossip. They immediately discovered that the name ‘Jiang Feng’ was just a fake name, and the information attached to the list had been updated several times.

His appearance had also changed from his disguised appearance to his original appearance.

Although Jiang Feng’s name was still written on the Singing Sword Ranking, his real name was Liu Yuan, and he was once known as Mr. Junxuan. He had two first wives whose wedding date was not over.

“So it’s him… I didn’t expect him to be alive and even run into the tomb of the Martial Emperor.”

Cen Shanzi, the leader of the Taiqing Pavilion group, thought about it and calmed down. Then, the anger in his heart increased instead of decreasing.

“So it’s this guy who made the Swordsman break through in advance, fell out with the Pavilion Master, and traveled thousands of miles to the North Mansion to fight the demonic sect!”

Most of the disciples in the Taiqing Pavilion had special feelings for the Green Lotus Swordsman, which was like a spiritual symbol.

Of course, they admired and respected those seniors. However, the current Green Lotus Swordsman was the younger sister of the Pavilion Master, a beautiful woman. The situation was different.

Every disciple who grew up in the Taiqing Pavilion, from young to old, always had the opportunity to see the beautiful back of the woman who looked into the distance on the Green Lotus Sword Platform, or hear about how she sat alone for a hundred years, refining a peerless divine sword day after day.

It was an unforgettable glimpse.

However, one day, all of a sudden, the graceful Green Lotus Swordsman gave up her persistence and walked from the cold and lonely high platform into the bustling and noisy world for someone.

This was not just a hazy feeling of admiration that had been shattered, it was also the collapse of a kind of belief.

Moreover, Cen Shanzi’s situation was even more special. He secretly admired Ling Hua, but because the gap was too big, he did not even dare to think about it. Any more would be blasphemy.

It was rare for him to meet the Ling Hua face to face and even exchange a few words with her. But just now, he heard the Ling Hua say that he was ignorant and ill-informed. Cen Shanzi was so anxious to refute that his face was distorted. At the same time, he blamed all his anger on Liu Yuan.

This anger was like adding oil to the fire, making him feel like he was about to be separated from his body.

“Hehehe… So it’s fellow Daoist Jiang Feng. I didn’t think of it earlier, please forgive me. Since fellow Daoist also thinks that it’s more reasonable for the capable to obtain it, then let’s decide who gets to own this puppet based on our own abilities,” Cen Shanzi said with a fake smile.

Liu Yuan nodded. He could not wait for this group of people to start fighting so that he could escape first. After all, the most valuable things were already in his hands. “Fellow Daoist’s words are indeed correct.”

The wretched old man from Sky Treasure Pavilion interrupted, “Hehe, did you collude with this boy from the Taiqing Pavilion?”

As soon as he said this, Liu Yuan was stunned, and Cen Shanzi was even more confused. He was very angry, “Senior Fei Chen, I respect you because you’re my senior, but you can’t speak without evidence!”

Fei Chen fiddled with the ring on his finger and squinted his eyes as he chuckled. He turned to look at Tang Yuanhua. “I’ve seen this guy before. He’s an outer disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion. How did he end up with this Jiang Feng?”

Cen Shanzi frowned and looked at Tang Yuanhua. After sizing him up, he was shocked. “As expected, I’ve seen him in the outer sect!”

Liu Yuan looked at Tang Yuanhua and cupped his hands, “Fellow Daoist Tang and I just met by chance. We accidentally barged into this tomb and fought side by side for a long time. We didn’t collude with the people of the Taiqing Pavilion.”

“Whether they collude or not is not for you to decide.” Fei Chen’s smile changed from a wretched one to a playful one. “Since you said you didn’t take a single needle or thread, why don’t you and the Taiqing Pavilion disciple next to you take out everything you have to show us? I’ll know if they’re from the tomb with just a glance and a wisp of their aura.”

Sky Treasure Pavilion’s cultivation technique was good at deducing the origin of items and could know the divine power of an item’s past and present life.

Although Fei Chen’s words were very arrogant, the Immortal cultivators present at the moment could only secretly curse that the Sky Treasure Pavilion was indeed too arrogant and disdainful. But who asked them to be so rich that no one wanted to offend them.

Liu Yuan could also understand Fei Chen’s mentality. He remembered this NPC because the ending was not very good. He was too eager for power and died after an auction because of greed.

The items in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, according to the effects of the cultivation methods in the Sky Treasure Pavilion, they should be be able to improve the power by a lot. It was no wonder he was so anxious.

Tang Yuanhua had the pearl that once contained the Martial Emperor’s remnant soul, and Liu Yuan had the Marrow-Cleansing Classic Scripture. It was not a big deal that the old man had the resources and spiritual energy, but it would be a serious matter if they were exposed!

Liu Yuan gestured for Tang Yuanhua to calm down and said with a troubled look, “Senior Fei Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to prove it to you, but there are some things on me that can’t be shown to others.”

“Could it be that fellow Daoist has a guilty conscience?” Fei Chen asked.

“No.” Liu Yuan coughed twice and suddenly looked at Ling Hua. Just as he was about to speak, a female voice with an evil tone suddenly sounded. “Fei Chen, you brat, he does have something from the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, but it’s all for me. How dare you have any ideas about him?!”

For a moment, Fei Chen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, but the next moment, he saw a woman in red appear behind Liu Yuan. He was so scared that his soul flew out of his body, and even his voice changed tone. “Grand Elder?!”

Liu Yuan looked at the Sword in the Box’s sword spirit in front of him — Xiahou Cenyi!

What the hell is she doing out here?!
