The news of Jian Wuheng defeating the forr Sect Leader of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, Ling Baicao, the number one Alchemist in Jiuzhou, and forcing a marriage with the current Sect Leader Ling Yunlong’s treasure, Ling Shuanghua, the most beautiful woman in Jiuzhou, spread like wildfire. Within just a few days, it was known throughout the Jiuzhou Continent.
The wedding venue is set at Heavenly Sword Mountain.
The date is a month later, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day when people drink Laba porridge.
The matter of Jian Wuheng defeating Ling Baicao, leading to his martyrdom, didn’t cause much of a stir within Jiuzhou.
After all, the most notable label on Ling Baicao was the number one Alchemist in Jiuzhou. Many people just assud that he was only good at making pills, so eting his demise at the hands of Jian Wuheng was not surprising.
After all, the Ten Great Heavenly Sects under the True Immortal Alliance and the Four Great Super Families had all been defeated by Jian Wuheng.
The strongest forces, Penglai Pavilion and Sanskrit Temple, were not spared either, so how could the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect be an exception?
As for the second matter, it stirred up a huge commotion across Jiuzhou.
Long before the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition began, Ling Shuanghua had rejected Jian Wuheng for the sake of Li Chen.
On the Ascending Dragon Platform, she spared no effort to help Li Chen.
There were even rumors that Ling Shuanghua had long been Li Chen’s woman, detailing the ti, place, and various specifics as if they were facts.
Now, with Jian Wuheng intending to force marriage with Ling Shuanghua, it’s hard to imagine Li Chen, with his monstrous nature, not making an appearance.
Both Jian Wuheng and Li Chen are unparalleled prodigies.
If the two were to et, who would erge as the victor remains an unknown factor.
So say Jian Wuheng has a higher chance of winning.
After all, his sweeping victories across Jiuzhou in over a month were indeed terrifying, sending chills down people’s spines.
Others argue that the monstrous Li Chen has a better chance.
Though Jian Wuheng’s achievents are impressive, Li Chen’s feats are equally remarkable. Not to ntion, simply having killed Jian Wuheng’s master Jian Chen with one strike qualifies him to compete for life and death with Jian Wuheng.
Moreover, more than half a year ago, on the Ascending Dragon Platform, Jian Wuheng had already failed under Li Chen’s hands. Based solely on this, Jian Wuheng has already lost to Li Chen in montum.
In summary, both sides are holding their own opinions, debating fiercely, with the atmosphere even suggesting they might co to blows.
The auction house led by Heavenly Pride Tower even opened a betting counter on this issue.
The odds for Jian Wuheng VS Li Chen are currently listed as 1.5:1.
It seems Heavenly Pride Tower favors Jian Wuheng over Li Chen.
...
On Earth, atop Heavenly Pool Mountain:
Li Chen sat cross-legged by the pool, surrounded by four Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldrons.
Under the control of his mind, these four Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldrons interconnected, eventually rging with his entire being, forming a dazzling light beam that shot straight into the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Li Chen opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming brightly, filled with uncontrollable excitent.
"It’s finally a great success!"
He can now control these four Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldrons at will, enhancing both his attacks and defenses.
After adjusting his breath for a while, Li Chen planned to go see his parents, as well as Ye Chuxue and Xin Qingxue.
Due to his great-grandfather Li Jinliang’s sudden misfortune, his marriage with Ye Chuxue was temporarily put on hold again.
However, Li Chen felt relieved as Ye Chuxue and Xin Qingxue, the two sisters, were getting along very well now.
The concerns he previously worried about had not occurred.
Otherwise, with three won in the house, dealing with re ’backyard’ matters would have left him with a headache and no energy to handle other matters.
"Chen, you finally ca out, sothing big has happened!"
Just as Li Chen walked out of the closed-door ditation area, he saw Ye Chuxue, Xin Qingxue, his father Li Lingyun, his mother Zixuan, and others all rushing towards him.
Li Chen’s expression imdiately turned serious, and he urgently asked, "What happened, has the True Immortal Alliance co to cause trouble again, or is the Sea Clan army invading?"
Xin Qingxue shook her head, saying, "Neither, it’s Jian Wuheng!"
She then recounted all the information she knew to Li Chen.
Li Chen was startled; Jian Wuheng had previously been crippled, so how could he have beco so strong in just half a year?
"Qingxue, is this information reliable?"
"Reliable, it was sent by our Valley Master’s trusted disciple!"
This ti, it was Bai Xueqin who answered instead of Xin Qingxue.
Originally, after Xin Longting was rescued by the Little Ice Dragon, fearing that Jian Wuheng would co to Earth to trouble Li Chen and his daughter, he imdiately sent people through the secret passage between Jiuzhou and Earth to deliver the news.
However, since Li Chen was still in closed-door ditation at the ti, they didn’t disturb him.
Hearing Bai Xueqin’s confirmation, Li Chen’s expression beca even more serious.
Imdiately, he frowned and asked in confusion, "Aunt Qin, does Master Xin know why Jian Wuheng has beco so powerful in just half a year?"
Bai Xueqin pondered for a mont and said, "My senior brother feels that Jian Wuheng’s Sword Intent resembles soone!"
"Who?" Li Chen eagerly asked.
"The Heavenly Swordman!"
As Bai Xueqin uttered the na, her voice trembled slightly, indicating her fear of this person.
In fact, neither she nor Xin Longting had ever dealt with the Heavenly Swordman, but his reputation was just too resounding at the ti.
Even children knew the illustrious na of "Heavenly Swordman."
But later, as the Heavenly Swordman retired, this legendary na gradually faded from people’s attention, slowly being forgotten.
Li Chen had naturally heard of the na Heavenly Swordman and knew so of his legendary deeds.
The most famous of them was the Barbaric Dragon Slayer!
Since Jian Wuheng could be connected to the Heavenly Swordman, it made sense for him to have risen to power so abruptly.
At this mont, Xin Qingxue smiled lightly and said, "Oh, Chen, there’s one more thing, although it hasn’t been confird yet!"
Raising an eyebrow, Li Chen asked, "What is it?"
Xin Qingxue took a mont to organize her thoughts and said, "Not long ago, Jian Wuheng successively defeated Tian Yazi, the current Sect Leader of Penglai Pavilion, and the forr Sect Leader of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, known as the number one Alchemist in Jiuzhou, Ling Baicao. And he plans to seize the position of Alliance Hierarch of the True Immortal Alliance on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, while also forcing marriage with Ling Shuanghua!"
"Buzz!"
Listening to Xin Qingxue’s words, Li Chen felt like he was struck by lightning, his mind buzzing and blank.
"Qingxue, did you say that Jian Wuheng intends to force marriage with Ling Shuanghua?"
With a solemn nod, Xin Qingxue replied, "Yes, but it’s only hearsay. Aunt Qin has already sent people back to verify, and we should have an answer in a few days!"
Li Chen stood in place, watching the clouds roll by, and casually asked, "What month is it now?"
Xin Qingxue replied, "November 20th!"
Li Chen nodded and answered, "There’s still more than half a month, we have ti!"
Xin Qingxue seed to sense Li Chen’s thoughts and asked, "Chen, are you planning to go to Jiuzhou?"
Li Chen nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, half a year ago, I defeated Jian Wuheng on the Ascending Dragon Platform, disgracing him. Not long ago, I forcefully killed his master Jian Chen. Such a deep vendetta, not even the waters of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes could wash it clean."
"Even if I don’t go looking for him, Jian Wuheng will co after . Since we’re destined to be life-and-death enemies, it’s better to take the initiative and seize so control!"
Xin Qingxue, Bai Xueqin, and the others all nodded in agreent, recognizing the logic in Li Chen’s reasoning.
"Chen, I’ll go with you, and check on my father. I’m not sure how he’s recovering," said Xin Qingxue.
After pondering for a mont, Li Chen replied, "Very well, let’s go together then!"
Bai Xueqin chid in, "When shall we depart?"
Li Chen looked to the sky and replied firmly, "There’s no ti to lose; we leave now!"
