Chapter 167 A Gathering of Masters!
Feng Si Niang nodded:
"In that case, I'll wait here for you to come and pick me up!"
She did not doubt Xiao Bieli's words, after all, three first-rank experts of the imperial court had died at Xiao Bieli's hands, and some of them had survived the tribulation of lightning.
Moreover, Xiao Bieli's growth rate... is probably now fast enough to deal with experts who have survived three tribulations!
After chatting with Feng Si Niang for a while on Dragon Head Mountain, Xiao Bieli left.
From Menghualou to Longshou Mountain, he could arrive in an instant unless he needed to conceal his presence.
Moreover, he could immediately detect when Feng Si Niang used the Peacock Feather.
……
The next few days.
There are many more ships at Shenlong Island Port now.
Sitting on the third floor of the restaurant, looking at the harbor not far away, Yue Hua sighed:
"Today is my last day of living life to the fullest!"
My dad is arriving tomorrow!
"Hmph!" Ning Lingling snorted coldly.
These past few days, Yuehua and the courtesan of Menghua Pavilion have been exchanging glances. Although it's just listening to each other's songs, it still makes her feel uncomfortable.
Yue Hua didn't notice Ning Lingling's displeasure, but turned to Xiao Bieli and said, "Brother Xiao, you've had quite a few people from the Central Plains these past two days!"
"I didn't expect that Island Master Tan has quite a bit of influence in your Central Plains."
"So many people came to celebrate my birthday!"
On the third floor, a wandering swordsman from the East Sea heard Yue Hua's words and sneered:
"Although the Central Plains is vast, you can count the number of first-rank masters on two hands."
"It's not necessarily much better than our East China Sea rivers and lakes."
"If the six saints join forces, they might not be able to unify the Central Plains martial arts world, but if they were to enter the Central Plains, the entire Central Plains martial arts world would tremble!"
With this remark,
This garnered considerable support from overseas martial arts enthusiasts.
"Not bad!"
"I don't think the martial arts world in the Central Plains is anything special. They're so far away, yet they still have to send people to wish Island Master Tan a happy birthday."
"That's right. Those people from the Central Plains occupy the rich lands of the Central Plains but do not make any progress. If the Six Sages of the East Sea raise their arms and call, we will surely follow and invade the Central Plains."
"..."
The atmosphere in the arena became lively.
However, most of these people were just members of small forces in the East China Sea, and some truly knowledgeable experts would only scoff at them.
Ha ha!
Two laughs rang out. Fatty Chen, whom Xiao Bieli had met briefly on the boat, shook his head and said:
"You underestimate the martial arts world of the Central Plains!"
"Putting everything else aside, just take the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli. Back then, in the Central Plains of Manzhou, he single-handedly cleaved three first-rank masters in two with a single slash!"
"To be famous throughout the world!"
"Such a genius, if placed in my East Sea, would at least be comparable to the Six Saints."
"Although there is only one 'Demon Blade' Xiao Bieli in the Central Plains, there are many other experts as well. The Buddhist and Taoist sects have a long history and countless experts!"
"..."
Yue Hua glanced at Fatty Chen, who was giving a passionate speech, and shook his head:
"That fat Chen went to the Central Plains and has been bragging about Xiao Bieli at the port every day, acting like everyone knows him!"
"But... Brother Xiao, is Xiao Bieli really that strong?"
"How does it compare to the Six Sages?"
By the end, Yue Hua's voice had become very soft, and only the two people sitting at the same table could hear it.
Xiao Bieli smiled faintly:
"I don't know much about the martial arts of the Six Saints of the East Sea, but from what I've heard about Xiao Bieli's deeds, Xiao Bieli... is very powerful!"
Yue Hua nodded in agreement.
"If the legends are true, then Xiao Bieli is truly formidable!"
"It feels like none of the Six Saints, except for Senior Mad Blade of the East Sea, are enough for him..."
In the end, Yue Hua quickly shut up, after all, in the East Sea, the Six Saints were like heaven.
If the slander against the Six Saints were heard, it would likely implicate the entire family.
"Old Chen, have you heard? News reached Longshou Mountain yesterday that quite a few people died on Xiaoniu Island not long ago!"
"Among them are second-rank experts!"
A fifth-rank expert sitting next to Fatty Chen stroked his beard and said:
"I heard that there were many masters from the Central Plains on the island at that time."
"Not only were there people from the Great Qian Dynasty who died, but a Grandmaster of the Third Rank from Giant Whale Island also died on Little Ox Island, leaving no trace of his body!"
hiss!
Fatty Chen gasped.
He didn't doubt that his friend's words were false, because his friend was well-informed on Shenlong Island and had the backing of an elder from Longshou Mountain. The news that came from him was most likely true.
The others also looked over.
"Even a second-rank Celestial is dead?"
Who was the third-grade Grandmaster from Giant Whale Island who died?
"Didn't someone from Giant Whale Island just come to Dragon Island?"
"..."
Xiao Bieli ignored the exclamations of the people in the restaurant and instead looked toward the harbor.
at this time,
A large ship sailed into the port.
A man in his thirties, with sharp eyebrows, a straight posture, and a long sword on his back, stood on the deck.
Although Xiao Bieli's gaze was fixed on him,
The man in black frowned slightly, turned his head to look in the direction of the restaurant, his gaze sharp as lightning.
But they couldn't see anything amiss.
"Am I overthinking it?" the man in black murmured.
Although he has only survived two tribulations, with his martial arts skills and the legacy from his previous life, even experts who have survived three tribulations might not be able to detect his ability to conceal his presence.
How could they have been discovered so soon after entering the port?
Could it be that Bai Tianxun, the Mad Saber of the East Sea, has arrived?
But it shouldn’t be!
The ancestor once said that as long as he was there, Xun could not leave Xuanwu Island during the day.
……
In the restaurant.
Xiao Bieli also shook his head and looked away.
The expert who had survived two tribulations was indeed incredibly perceptive; he almost discovered her with just a glance.
However, this person's martial arts skills are not simple, especially his swordsmanship, which is probably not much different from his understanding of the knife!
Moreover, this person showed signs of having practiced an incomplete version of the Dragon Demon Golden Body Technique.
'Martial God Zhou Yuan!'
A name surfaced in Xiao Bieli's mind.
He had heard this name from Lin Xiu not long ago, so it seems he was also after the strange dragon.
"Interesting!" Xiao Bieli shook his head, thinking to himself:
"Zhou Yuan's battle with the Lord of Divine Dragon Island was probably just to give the Lord of Divine Dragon Island a sense of crisis!"
"The purpose is to lure the strange dragon to the vicinity of Dragon Island, making it easier to kill it!"
"However, this actually did me a favor!"
"Otherwise, if the Lord of Dragon Island is a stubborn man and refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the strange dragon, I really might not be able to find its trace in the vast ocean!"
"what?"
Suddenly, Xiao Bieli let out a soft "Eh".
Just as Zhou Yuan entered the dock, another ship entered the port.
An elderly man in a Taoist robe stepped off the boat, followed by a figure shrouded in a black robe.
The smell of corpse!
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly.
It smelled similar to the smell of the people from the Corpse Refining Sect, but the old Taoist priest didn't have that smell; it was the black-robed figure following behind him who had that smell.
The Corpse-Transporting Cult?
What's going on with the East China Sea?
First it was the Joyful Sect, and now the Corpse-Driving Sect has arrived!
By then, all eight gates of the demonic path will be complete!
