Recently, a significant event has shaken Hengshan City, enough to stir the martial world.
Of course, this is not the only major occurrence; there is another event that has caused even greater upheaval. A figure suspected to be over two hundred years old, known as the Earthly Immortal, has protected the Fortune Guard Escort Agency and taken the agency's head, Lin Pingzhi, as his disciple.
In just a month, Lin Pingzhi, who was originally a third-rate martial artist, has astonishingly become a master of the First-Class Realm.
Recent news indicates that during this period, many knockoff bandits spanning three provinces from Fujian to Hengshan have been slain, including numerous notorious figures from the underworld.
Hengshan City may not be a large city; while it is usually prosperous, now anyone with a bit of information knows that the most bustling places in Hunan are not just Changsha and Hengyang but also Hengshan City.
This is due to the fact that in the past two months, Liu San Ye of the Hengshan Sect, known for his chivalry in the martial world, announced his Golden Basin Retirement and thus withdrew from the martial scene. This news spread widely, inviting friends from the martial world to witness the occasion.
Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect is highly skilled yet humble and righteous, earning great respect in the martial community. His announcement of retirement has become a major event in today's martial world.
Apart from large sects like Shaolin and Wudang that typically do not involve themselves in worldly matters, various factions of the Wuyue Sword Sect and other sects and gangs have gathered in Hengshan to prepare for the ceremony.
The number of martial artists is already considerable, and many have brought their capable disciples along. Although there are still three to five hours until Liu Zhengfeng's retirement day, many have arrived early in Hengshan City, making it unusually lively.
While there have been no major conflicts, minor skirmishes are frequent. As a result, the Life and Death Platform has become a necessary venue for many martial artists to vent their frustrations.
People from all walks of life—monks, Taoists, nuns, and various martial artists—are present in abundance. Competitions and brawls have become commonplace.
At this moment, atop the most famous Songhe Tower in Hengshan City, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe ascended to the second floor. His calm demeanor exuded an indescribable charm.
A man leaning by the window was about to speak with his companion when he caught sight of this newcomer. His mouth fell open in astonishment as his eyes widened.
“Thud thud thud!”
Just then, three sword-wielding youths in blue robes followed closely behind the middle-aged man up the stairs.
“Qingcheng Sect Leader, Yu Canghai!”
The man had not yet regained his senses when someone gasped in surprise.
However, that person immediately fell silent. Although he was a member of the martial world, he was merely a second-rate figure and was well aware that during this time, Yu Canghai's martial arts had already broken through to an astonishing level.
Such a person was not someone he could provoke; one careless word could lead to his death without any recourse. He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Then, he suddenly stood up and strode out, bowing respectfully, “I apologize for my rudeness, Junior Liu Zhan. I hope Master Yu can forgive me.”
He knew very well what had happened to the last person who had called him by name and mocked him; decades of hard-earned skills had been wasted with just one careless remark.
“Enough!”
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Canghai's eyes as he waved his hand and sat down at the table.
Only then did the man rise and turn to stride down the stairs. However, as he walked, for some reason, no one mocked him; instead, they felt that he seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
“Master! Is the leader of the Star God Sect really that terrifying?”
One of the young men following Yu Canghai asked with some confusion.
“Terrifying? Hahaha, foolish disciple, Senior Ye is not terrifying at all; he is simply an Earthly Immortal. It would be remarkable if Master could return alive; that would be beyond the mundane.”
Yu Canghai seemed to feel no sense of loss or defeat. Instead, he calmly poured himself a glass of wine and said, “In the future, when you encounter disciples of the Star God Sect, especially Lin Pingzhi, you should be more cautious. Even with the Fortune Guard Escort Agency people, you should be polite.”
“I believe Lin Pingzhi will eventually break free from his constraints. If you are sincere, it wouldn’t hurt to make friends with him; do not be blindly arrogant.”
While Yu Canghai was speaking with his disciples, suddenly from the other side of the second floor came a voice: “Esteemed Taoists from Mount Tai, may I ask when you received your news? Do you know when this Earthly Immortal will arrive here?”
“We do not know either; we only heard that he will arrive within a day or two!”
“Alas!”
Heaving a heavy sigh, the man said, "I don't know what kind of good fortune the ancestors of the Fortune Guard Escort Agency accumulated, but they managed to associate with such a Powerful Being... The other day, I heard that the Gentleman Sword, Yue Buqun from Mount Hua, seems to have obtained a copy of the Complete Truth Heart Method. It appears he has broken through and significantly improved his cultivation."
"Is that true, Li Xian-di?!"
"Of course! Just five days ago, the Northern Camel, Mu Gao Feng, this Evil Sect Master, somehow encountered Yue Zhangmen. In less than fifty exchanges, he was slain under his sword."
"Hiss!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Mu Gao Feng had been a well-known Transcendent Master for quite some time; how could he possibly be unable to withstand even fifty moves from Yue Buqun? It seemed impossible.
"Not only that, but I also heard that the Huashan Sect's eldest disciple, Linghu Chong, is similarly by the side of that Earthly Immortal and has received the sword techniques from the Quanzhen Sect's teachings from hundreds of years ago..."
As these words were spoken, envy and jealousy arose in everyone's hearts. Just thinking about such celestial beings was already a stroke of luck; as for becoming their disciple...
Well, one should wake up to reality!
As more and more martial artists gathered in the tavern, a group of well-meaning individuals surrounded them to inquire further.
"Hmm?"
Originally, Yu Canghai had not paid much attention; after all, these people were just a bunch of misfits. However, just as he raised his cup to drink, he noticed two handsome young men in blue and white long robes using lightness skills to chase after a knife-wielding man.
What astonished him even more was that the lightness skills of these three individuals surpassed ninety percent of those in the martial world.
In an instant, a glint flashed in his eyes as he leaped out of the window like a blue bird and quickly caught up with the two.
"Brother Linghu, why didn't your master capture Tian Boguang just now at Returning Goose Tower?"
"I'm not quite sure either. I suppose our senior must have his own plans. For us juniors, it's best to just listen and learn. It's a good opportunity to gain experience and hone our skills! Hahaha! Just like floating on water..."
"Hey, wait for me..."
Ever since Linghu Chong started following him, Ye Kai didn't hold back. After all, whether it was one sheep or two, they were both being herded. So he casually taught this guy the modified internal martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect.
He even passed on the entire Golden Goose Technique to him. Now, Linghu Chong's lightness skill was already on par with Tian Boguang.
At this moment, they were on a mission. As long as they could catch up to Tian Boguang before he circled Hengshan City three times, the mission would be considered complete, and there would be rewards.
If they failed, they would have to wear a Strange Creature device, which had a button that, when pressed lightly, would apply a weight of two hundred pounds on them.
Just thinking about that state of being unable to do anything smoothly and stumbling if they took even a slightly faster step made his face turn pale.
"Chilly swoosh..."
Neither of them felt anything amiss. Up ahead, Tian Boguang was desperately fleeing, completely focused on escaping and unaware that a large group of martial artists had already followed closely behind them.
Meanwhile, Yu Canghai wore a helpless expression.
He was merely curious about whom Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong were chasing. But as soon as he moved, it immediately drew gasps from the three disciples around him, and someone happened to see this scene.
Thus, one by one, they called their friends like a flock of startled birds and rushed out of Songhe Tower, excitedly using their lightness skills to give chase.
As for what they were pursuing, did it really matter?
Didn’t you see that the Qingcheng Sect’s Yu Guanzhu was also in pursuit?
Didn’t you hear the three disciples of Yu Guanzhu gasping just moments ago?
Of course, some were speculating whether it was some treasure that had appeared, which had sparked everyone’s chase.
However, as soon as they set off, they immediately attracted the attention of more people from the martial world. In just a moment, the entire Hengshan City seemed to be in an uproar, with chaos erupting everywhere.
At this point, Lin Pingzhi was dumbfounded, and Linghu Chong was bewildered.
Meanwhile, Tian Boguang, who was desperately using his lightness skill in front, was so frightened that he felt a chill run down his spine and exerted all his strength.
"Ha..."
Yu Canghai shook his head helplessly and chuckled. He didn't even know how to describe this group of martial artists.
...
At this moment, sitting in the Jade Palace, Ye Kai nearly spat out the wine in his mouth, looking astonished as he asked, "What did you say?"
"Lord God, all the martial artists in Hengshan City are acting like they've been injected with adrenaline, desperately chasing after Yu Canghai. And Yu Canghai is grabbing Tian Boguang and following Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong. They are about to return here."
Seeing the delighted expression on the deity's face, Ye Kai couldn't help but laugh and playfully pinched her nose. "You’re making a mess of things, Girl. Quickly look—did our preaching really work this time? How much Power of Faith have we gained?"
"Although the Power of Faith from the Tang Dynasty Dimension isn't much, it's very stable and has been gradually increasing. Plus, with this time around, we've conquered most of this world; the Power of Faith is already enough to condense into a Faith Rice Ball."
Upon hearing this, the deity became excited and took out a jelly-like light orb the size of a ping pong ball, presenting it proudly. "Lord God, look! With this, we can even venture into the Immortal Fantasy Dimension next time!"
After picking up the light orb under the Girl's reluctant gaze, Ye Kai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wait a moment. How is the Nightmare Space Mark analysis coming along?"
"It's almost done; it will be ready for experimentation soon."
"Experiment?" Ye Kai asked in confusion.
But he quickly noticed that the Girl's entire focus was already on her left hand. As she moved the Faith Rice Ball up and down, she stared at it intently without a moment's relaxation.
With a mix of annoyance and amusement, he handed over the Faith Rice Ball and gently ruffled the Girl's hair. "Then hurry up and study it. By the time you're done, I'll be bored here too. We might as well create a Main God Space and let some people invade the Nightmare Space to test the waters."
Watching her hug the Faith Rice Ball like a precious treasure, Ye Kai chuckled softly again, then turned his attention to the Light Screen, observing the dark mass of figures approaching like a long human dragon.
There were about four to five hundred individuals with decent lightness skills closely trailing behind Lin Pingzhi and his companions.
Behind this group, many burly men were sprinting with heavy breaths, gritting their teeth as they lagged far behind.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless!
Perhaps these people from the martial world had no idea why they were following along!
This must be what they called going with the flow!
A bunch of fools!
But foolishness had its charm; it was wonderfully naive!
This was exactly what he wanted—to gradually deify himself. In doing so, these law-breaking martial artists would have a target, a true pursuit, and a belief to rally around.
In the end, when he preached to the common folk, this group wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
Although eliminating them wouldn't take much effort, Ye Kai still made a distinction between his own people and outsiders when it came to dealing with them.
