Chapter 162 - 162 Shangqing Sword Palace, Lin Xuanzhen!
162 Shangqing Sword Palace, Lin Xuanzhen!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
With the appearance of the Shangqing Sword Palace, many large and small forces inside and outside the Nine States, as well as famous figures, came to the Heishui Ancient City to witness this once-in-a-thousand-year ceremony of prodigies.
Among them, the ones with the greatest influence were the ancient Barbarian race from the depths of the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Although they were only a branch of the ancient Barbarian race, they had a long heritage and were extremely powerful in both strength and heritage.
To a certain extent, they surpassed the five great aristocratic families.
In fact, even the Xia Dynasty was wary of the Barbarian race in the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
For thousands of years, they had confronted each other.
It was because of their power that the Barbarians were able to obtain a large number of spots in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm.
This time, although only a dozen Barbarian race cultivators had come, the aura and foundation they revealed were extremely strong.
Among them were supreme geniuses of the Heaven Capture realm. The leader had even reached the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm.
Compared to the leaders of the other factions present, they were not inferior at all.
Apart from the barbarians, Lin Wudao also saw some old acquaintances. Among them included Li Heishui and his sister.
…
“Sir, we meet again.”
Seeing Lin Wudao’s figure, Li Heishui hesitated for a moment before mustering his courage to come and greet the other party with a smile.
Similarly, Lin Wudao smiled.
“Perhaps this is fate. By the way, are you here to participate in the Path to Heaven?”
“Uh, no. The Path to Heaven is the arena for the world’s overwhelming prodigies and geniuses. How can my poor talent and weak strength be worthy of being on the stage? To be honest, I only brought my younger sister here to broaden her horizons,” Li Heishui replied with a smile.
“You’re too modest. Your aptitude and strength are not weak. Never mind walking to the end of the Path to Heaven, at least knocking open the first Heavenly Gate is not a problem. Don’t you want to go up and show it?”
Lin Wudao still had a faint smile on his face.
It seemed that he wanted to encourage Li Heishui to perform on the Path to Heaven and show his peerless talent.
At that time, his name would definitely spread throughout Jiuzhou.
However, Li Heishui shook his head at Lin Wudao’s suggestion.
“I’m not interested in fame. My greatest wish in this life is for Qingcheng to have a beautiful life. As for the rest, they are not too important to me…” Li Heishui replied with a smile.
Now, he had already taken revenge. His biggest worry left was Li Qingcheng. If she could have a good future and a good life, he would be satisfied. As for the rest, he would just let nature take its course.
“You’re quite carefree. However, a real man still has to make contributions and live an extremely glorious life. This way, he won’t let himself down and this life won’t be a waste. Now, I have some influence in the City of Sin and need more talents. Would you be willing to help me?”
Lin Wudao sent out an invitation.
The City of Sin? Lin Wudao?
Hearing this, Li Heishui immediately revealed a surprised expression.
He had also heard about the Li family’s misfortune.
Lin Wudao had killed the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs of the three aristocratic families and brought the Li Family under the City of Sin. This matter had caused a huge commotion.
Everyone was trying to guess who the City of Sin’s City Lord was.
He did not expect that the other party was this man right in front of him. Previously, this man had even bought a corpse and a shroud from him…
“Brother Heishui, the City Lord has a very high standard. Ordinary people can’t enter his eyes. If you don’t have a good place to go, why don’t you come to the City of Sin? Don’t worry, we definitely won’t let you down. I dare to use my life to guarantee that choosing the City of Sin will be the wisest decision in your life.”
At this moment, Yin Siming’s voice rang out.
Hearing this, Li Heishui fell into deep thought. Then, he stared at Lin Wudao for a long time and finally nodded.
“Since the City Lord has invited me, then I’ll respectfully accept it. Li Heishui is willing to serve the City Lord.”
As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to Lin Wudao.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao was overjoyed.
“Good! My City of Sin has finally gained another great general!”
“Congratulations, City Lord,” Yin Siming also smiled.
Li Heishui was a hot shot who had fallen into the mortal world. If he was nurtured, he would definitely become great in the future.
Yin Siming was naturally happy that he had joined.
“By the way, City Lord, let me introduce you. This is my younger sister, Li Qingcheng. She is currently cultivating in the True Dragon Palace…”
Li Heishui abruptly raised his hand and pointed at Li Qingcheng beside him.
“Qingcheng greets the City Lord.”
Li Qingcheng also bowed modestly.
In response, Lin Wudao pretended to examine them, and then his face revealed a look of admiration.
“I’ve long heard Brother Dongfang mention that Li Heishui is a son of fate who has fallen into the mortal world and has a bright future. Now that I’ve met his sister, I can see that you’re not inferior to him. In the future, you will definitely be an overwhelming prodigy whose name will shake the Great World of Divine Desolation as well.”
Lin Wudao was not stingy with his praise.
Hearing this, the smile on Li Heishui’s face grew wider, while Li Qingcheng was a little embarrassed.
“City Lord, you praise me too much. With my poor qualifications, how can I be worthy of the words “overwhelming prodigy”?”
She shook her head.
She didn’t even dare to think about being an overwhelming prodigy.
However, Lin Wudao didn’t think so.
“Everything in the world is possible. I heard from Brother Dongfang that he was entrusted by someone to seek a great opportunity for you. I believe that it won’t be long before your life and destiny will be completely changed.”
Hmm? Brother Dongfang?
Could it be…
Hearing Lin Wudao mention “Brother Dongfang” twice, Li Heishui was shocked.
“City Lord, is the Brother Dongfang you’re talking about Dongfang Bubai?” He asked carefully.
“Yes. I can be considered to have come from the same source as him. We are not biological brothers, but just like biological brothers…” Lin Wudao nodded.
What? The City Lord was actually related to Dongfang Bubai?
Not only Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng, but even Yin Siming, who was at the side, was also shocked.
Dongfang Bubai was mysterious and unpredictable. Since Lin Wudao was like a brother to him, his background was definitely not simple.
At this moment, Li Heishui’s respect for Lin Wudao increased.
…
Hmm?
Just as Lin Wudao was chatting and laughing with Li Heishui and his sister, he suddenly felt a cold and murderous gaze.
He turned and saw that the gaze was from the Shangqing Sword Palace’s spiritual boat.
At this moment, a woman at the front of the spiritual boat with peerless looks and a cold aura was staring at him coldly and hatefully. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
It was Wei Qingsi.
It had been a while since they last met. After she entered the Shangqing Sword Palace, her cultivation and strength made great progress. Now, she had already reached the Grotto-Heaven realm.
“City Lord, that person… Does she hate you?”
Li Heishui also felt Wei Qingsi’s cold killing intent and frowned slightly.
“Yes. She used to be the Eldest Princess of the Li Dynasty in Jiuzhou. She had a grudge against me. I let her escape in the City of Sin. I didn’t expect to meet her again in the Heishui Ancient City.”
The Eldest Princess of the Li Dynasty?
Li Heishui nodded thoughtfully. He did not know much about the outside world, therefore, he did not speak.
Whoosh!
Just as Wei Qingsi and Lin Wudao were confronting each other, a few figures suddenly walked out from the spiritual boat of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
At the very front was a black-robed youth with an extraordinary bearing. His aptitude and foundation were extremely extraordinary.
Through God’s Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao learned that this person was the tenth successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace, Lin Xuanzhen.
At the same time, he was also the youngest successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace in a thousand years.
After 22 years of cultivation, he had already reached the perfection of the Heaven Capture realm.
