The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
In the Eastern Martial Arts Sea, Yamada Koji led the ninjas to arrive. Yamada Koji ordered, "Ninja Earthwalker, you will lead four people to gather information in the martial world; Ninja Izumi Jiro, you will lead two people to find a place to stay; the rest will hide here until Izumi finds a place for everyone to go."
The ninjas responded, "Yes."
Izumi Jiro asked, "What about you, Leader Yamada?"
Yamada Koji replied, "I will go to Murong Manor to deliver a message to the General. Everyone set off now."
Izumi Jiro said, "Understood."
The Wulin Broadcasting Tower was bustling with activity as everyone was talking about the upcoming Centennial Manor Celebration at Murong Manor. At this moment, Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist, both wearing masks, arrived at the scene. Yi Junsheng remarked, "Wow, it's so lively here! What major event has stirred up such excitement?"
Blade One, who was gathering information on-site, said, "It's you again, White Face. You must have worn a mask this time to avoid scaring everyone; you don't even know about the big event at Murong Manor's Centennial Manor Celebration and dare to call yourself an information dealer?"
Yi Junsheng laughed heartily and said, "It's you, the troublesome Blade One! What are you doing here again? Do you know your junior brother Dagger Cloud has gone to sell salted duck eggs?"
Blade One replied, "What do you mean? How could my junior brother change careers to sell salted duck eggs?"
Yi Junsheng replied casually, "You're really thick-headed. Selling salted duck eggs means he's dead. Your junior brother was killed by a sword qi and there were no wounds on his body; he died very peacefully."
Upon hearing this, Blade One exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and immediately rushed towards Famous Sword Hall.
Yi Junsheng then asked, "The celebration? Has everyone received an invitation from Murong Manor?"
Sanwei Daoist responded, "Of course not. The invitations from Murong Manor are meant for Martial Arts Celebrities and Jianghu Heroes, as well as the leaders of various sects. How could they be sent to unknown figures in the martial world?"
Yi Junsheng said, "Wait, are you implying that I am an unknown figure?"
Sanwei Daoist: "If not, how come you didn't receive an invitation? Did they forget to invite you?"
Yi Junsheng replied: "I haven't been active in the martial world lately due to personal matters. Could it be that while I've been in my room for just one day, the martial world has changed for a thousand years?"
Suddenly, someone said: "I've heard that Murong Manor Master's daughter, Murong Yaoxian, is as beautiful as a fairy, the number one beauty. I must see her at Murong Manor this time."
Yi Junsheng responded: "A beauty? Is she really that beautiful?"
"Yes, if one hasn't seen Yao Xian, they can't truly claim to be a hero."
Yi Junsheng declared: "I must attend this celebration. I want to see what the number one beauty looks like. Sanwei Daoist, come with me to prepare a gift; let's go and enjoy the festivities together."
Sanwei Daoist: "Looks like there will be a good show this time."
Inside the main hall of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance and Awakening Sea Music Academy, the dean, Fan Yin, sang solo and asked: "What is the current situation in the martial world?"
Chief Assistant Xian Haixing replied: "According to reports from our scouts, Murong Manor will soon hold the Centennial Manor Celebration, and has widely invited the Martial Arts Community to participate. The Black Tribe has shown no movement, while Purple Twelve Hours Master and the leader of Snow Sea Human Bone Bridge have met."
The dean said: "Oh, the Centennial Manor Celebration? We cannot miss out on this grand event; you go prepare for it. As for the dealings between Time Master and the Human Bone Bridge, we should observe how it unfolds."
Xian Haixing replied: "Understood."
Above the Black Tribe, in Yama Hall, the Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si, blocked by Dao Rulai, sat alone in contemplation. At this moment, Lingering Smoke and Soul-Devouring returned to report on their investigation into Dao Rulai. Soul-Devouring said: "Reporting to you, Warden, my subordinates found that Dao Rulai often preaches Buddhism at the Cold Light Temple beneath Lin Feng Ridge. He resides within the temple. However, we cannot investigate his past; we only know he arrived at the temple half a month ago."
Warden said: "Hmm, this old bald donkey is truly mysterious; I don't believe he just appeared out of nowhere."
Lingering Smoke said: "Warden, please calm down. It is not wise for us to confront this monk directly at present, as our forces are too weak; I believe we should seek appropriate assistance."
Soul-Devouring added: "Recently, Murong Manor announced it will hold the Centennial Manor Celebration. Since Murong Manor holds considerable power in the martial world, if we can win them over, it would be a significant support."
Warden said, "Alright, Murong Manor will leave the negotiations to Lingering Smoke."
Lingering Smoke replied, "Understood. I have one more question: since Black Moon Box was taken, why haven't we seen Warden making an effort to retrieve it?"
Warden responded, "There's no need to worry. Although Black Moon Box has been taken, they cannot use it without the proper means. In the end, they will have to come to negotiate with me."
Lingering Smoke said, "I see."
The Qin Se Pi Pa, suffering from Madness Syndrome, wandered aimlessly in the forest, the haunting echoes of the Pipa resonating through the trees. Stumbling to the foot of Rock Peak, with each step, the distant Test Stone became clearer. After a while, Qin Se Pi Pa reached the summit of Rock Peak, where the loud sounds of the Pipa echoed at the peak. Approaching the Test Stone, he could clearly see a hole drilled into the stone, created by the legendary move of Sword Saint Murong Mulong. At that moment, The Arbiter's Three Hands from Awakening Sea Music Academy also arrived at Rock Peak. Three Hands said, "Qin Se Pi Pa, hand over the Sound Symbol."
Inside a guest room of Murong Manor, two figures were engaged in a secret conversation. One person said, "This is a letter from my master for you." After speaking, he vanished from the room. Just then, a servant came to report: "Murmur Manor Owner, Swordmaster Ou Ziye requests an audience."
Murmur Manor Owner replied, "Understood, I will be there shortly."
Not long after, Murmur Manor Owner Murong arrived in the living room. Divine Craftsman Ou Ziye bowed and said, "Greetings to you, Murmur Manor Owner. I have come today to inform you that the Ming Sword Longquan Treasure Sword will be completed soon."
Murmur Manor Owner said, "Thank you for your hard work, Swordmaster. It is indeed a bit abrupt to ask you to finish before the celebration, but for the sake of the manor, I... I..."
Ou Ziye said, "I understand. Please rest assured, on the day of the celebration, the treasured sword will be ready."
Murmur Manor Owner replied, "Thank you once again, Swordmaster."
The leaders of the Martial Arts Faction, including Famous Sword Hall Hall Master Supreme Blade, and Zhao Cai, leader of Bagua Gate, each brought their disciples to Tongfu Inn, seeking revenge for their followers. Supreme Blade said, "Innkeeper, hand over the murderer; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Cai added, "I heard that fighting is not allowed here as per your boss's rules; then please have your boss come out."
Innkeeper responded, "Heroes of the martial world, I do not know who the murderer is; how can I hand them over? Also, if your boss is not here, how can I ask him to come out?"
Supreme Blade said, "It seems you are refusing kindness and inviting punishment. If you cannot hand over the murderer today, then don’t expect to do business at Tongfu Inn in the future."
The Innkeeper said, "Everyone, calm down. Don't act impulsively; impulse is the devil. One careless move, and your life could be at stake."
Zhao Cai replied, "Oh... oh."
As the third hour arrived, the Purple Twelve Hours Master manipulated life and death, sending the Black Moon Box to the Snow Sea Human Bone Bridge as agreed. Upon reaching the halfway point, a Verse echoed: Hell Is Not Empty, vowing not to become a Buddha. The Buddha's Long Magic Dissipation, Dao Rulai, appeared to block the way. The Time Master asked, "Master, why do you block the road?"
Dao Rulai responded, "The items on you cannot be given to the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh."
The Time Master said, "Implying that you want to seize them; is this what a monk should do?"
Dao Rulai replied, "This matter is of great importance; I have no choice but to act."
The Time Master retorted, "Is this the true face of a monk beneath their hypocrisy? If you want to seize them, I will first send you to meet Buddha."
Tension mounted as Dao Rulai intercepted the Time Master. Who would emerge victorious in this battle for the Black Moon Box? The people from Famous Sword Hall and Bagua Gate arrived at Tongfu Inn to demand answers. Could the innkeeper be Martial Arts Unrivaled Myth Sword Saint Murong Mulong? How would this entanglement be resolved? On Rock Peak, could Awakening Sea Music Academy's The Arbiter's Three Hands adjudicate Qin Se Pi Pa? Without seeing the Sword God, who claims to be a hero, and without seeing Yao Xian, who claims to be charming. Who is the Sword God? Can Yao Xian truly make countless heroes bow down?
