Every time a hidden treasure is discovered, it triggers turmoil in the martial arts world. In some cases, certain Hidden Sects have even faced annihilation during treasure hunts. The allure of the Sword Immortal Ruins is too great; this time, various sects and families are unwilling to yield. At the entrance of the Sword Immortal Ruins, over ten Hidden Sects and their members are locked in a standoff, each side refusing to back down. If this continues, it will not resolve the issue; without any party willing to compromise, they could remain at an impasse for years.
Li Fushi understands that no matter what methods are employed, no one will relent. After all, if there truly are immortal swords and the Sword Immortal Sword Manual within the ruins, whoever obtains them will see their power significantly increase, potentially even creating a sword immortal. Although the Hidden Sects and families remain hidden from the bustling world and avoid worldly affairs, their competition has never ceased. For many years, they have been wary of one another; no one is willing to see another suddenly grow powerful.
The Sword Immortal Ruins are akin to an atomic bomb—whoever acquires it will hold absolute power in their hands. In the future, that sect or family will undoubtedly dominate the others. Therefore, it is futile to think otherwise; even if blood is shed, these Hidden Sects and families will not yield to one another.
Currently, the higher-ups of various sects are overwhelmed with anxiety, fearing that the legacy of the sword immortal might fall into someone else's hands. Panic and tension hang over everyone like a dark cloud.
As the Grand Elder of Shen Xue Men, Li Fushi has been burdened with heavy thoughts these days. He naturally hopes that Shen Xue Men will inherit the legacy of the sword immortal but knows that this is nearly impossible; Shen Xue Men is not among the strongest Hidden Sects or families.
While Shen Xue Men may not be able to obtain it, Li Fushi does not wish for any other sect or family to succeed either. Thus, he thinks of someone—the young man who appeared like a deity at the Songnan Martial Arts Tournament. If he can find him and inform him about the Sword Immortal Ruins, perhaps he could be persuaded to take action.
Moreover, even if Jiang Chen were to obtain the sword immortal's legacy, it would not be a loss for Shen Xue Men. After all, Jiang Chen is not part of any Hidden Sect or family; if he were to acquire these treasures of immortals, it would be far better than them falling into the hands of other sects or families.
Li Fushi's plan is somewhat sinister; he intends to push Jiang Chen into the spotlight and make him an enemy of all Hidden Sects and families. There’s a chance that Jiang Chen could lose his life in such a scenario. Regardless of whether Li Fushi's intentions are malicious or have ulterior motives, it ultimately falls upon Jiang Chen to make his own decision.
Li Fushi is about ninety percent sure that Jiang Chen will agree; after all, who could resist the allure of inheriting the sword immortal's legacy?
Upon understanding Li Fushi's purpose for seeking him out, Jiang Chen merely smiled faintly and replied, "The Sword Immortal Ruins are merely a legend; no one can guarantee what lies within. Even if there are immortal swords and manuals, I cannot say whether they would interest me. I have no desire for them."
"Mr. Jiang," Li Fushi urged earnestly, "it has been confirmed that this is indeed the Sword Immortal Ruins. The sword immortal we speak of is recorded among our Hidden Sects; he was from the Tang Dynasty and known as Drunken Sword Daoist—a figure clad in blue robes with a wine gourd at his side and two long swords on his back. He traversed the rivers and lakes during the transition from Sui to Tang dynasties, saving countless commoners. In his later years during the flourishing Tang period, he vanished into seclusion in the mountains. It is said that even the poet Li Bai once encountered him; in Li Bai's poem 'Xia Ke Xing,' he wrote: 'Zhao Ke with Hu tassels on his cap, Wu hooks shining bright as snow. Silver saddle on a white horse gallops like a shooting star—ten steps kill one man without leaving a trace.' This refers to him! He was an extraordinary person whose legacy must be peerless treasures! Mr. Jiang, I recall your swordsmanship displayed at Kunlun Mountain last time; if you were to inherit this sword immortal's legacy, your sword path would surely advance further." Li Fushi spoke softly but with sincere conviction, even invoking Li Bai’s name as support for his argument.
