The style of Cangjian Mountain Villa has always been straightforward and brutal. They do not like to engage in schemes and tricks; they prefer to let their swords do the talking. However, after Liu Chenjiang, the Wufeng Sword Master, died at the hands of the new leader of Manichaeism, Cangjian Mountain Villa did not take any significant action. As a result, the fishing boats across Qingzhou were buzzing with speculation.
Some believe that Cangjian Mountain Villa has fallen into decline, while others think that they are being restrained by Daoist and Buddhist Dualism. There are even guesses that someone from Manichaeism has instilled fear in Cangjian Mountain Villa. Otherwise, it is hard to explain their indifferent attitude.
"In my opinion, Cangjian Mountain Villa is likely planning to seek revenge against Manichaeism during the trials in the Sky-Connecting Armory secret realm," said an old blind man as he put down his chipped bowl filled with liquor and stroked his graying beard. His speculation was met with agreement from many martial artists present.
After all, during this time, the White Lotus Sect has been clashing fiercely with the Great Zhou and the Xiao Family over the key to the Sky-Connecting Armory, causing chaos throughout Jiangnan. As a force with a legacy spanning thousands of years, Cangjian Mountain Villa naturally needs to be prepared.
However, this speculation did not convince everyone. A scar-faced man scoffed, "Although the Sky-Connecting Armory is important, how could Cangjian Mountain Villa place too much emphasis on it? They are not without powerful figures above the Youngshen Realm." His words left everyone momentarily silent.
The strength of Cangjian Mountain Villa is evident! It has thrived for thousands of years!
A young and impetuous man was displeased and retorted, "If that's the case, then tell me why Cangjian Mountain Villa has not taken any action after losing a Grandmaster of Martial Arts from the Fusion Realm?" The magnitude of their actions reflects their determination; however, if there are no actions at all, it becomes a matter of attitude.
A Grandmaster of Martial Arts from the Fusion Realm is not something any top force would treat lightly. To say that Cangjian Mountain Villa does not care about Liu Chenjiang's death is simply impossible. Even if just for appearances' sake, Cangjian Mountain Villa should seek out Manichaeism for retribution; otherwise, morale will wane and leading their group will become difficult. This situation simply does not add up.
"The Old Woman has indeed heard that Yijian sect will be opening its gates next month to recruit disciples," said an inconspicuous Old Woman in the tavern, leaning on her cane as if she were uninterested.
However, no one dared to underestimate this Old Woman. Someone had already recognized her as the renowned "Golden Needle Old Woman" in the martial world, skilled in hidden weapons and possessing Innate Sixth Level cultivation. She was not someone an ordinary person could provoke.
It was rumored that this Old Woman was unpredictable and ruthless; she would kill indiscriminately at the slightest displeasure!
A young woman dressed as a heroine, wearing a green outfit, noticed that the Old Woman seemed to be in a good mood and cupped her hands in greeting. "I am Xie Feiyan, an inner disciple of Yue Nu Palace. May I ask, Granny, have you heard any secrets?"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent. Yue Nu Palace was not an ordinary force! Its main focus was on recruiting female disciples and had good relations with various major sects. Even though its influence was not what it once was, it remained recognized as a top-tier power in the martial world.
"Yue Nu Palace..." the Old Woman murmured, her expression gradually becoming serious. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Indeed, as expected of a disciple from a great sect; at such a young age, you have already reached Innate Second Layer cultivation."
Upon hearing the Old Woman's words, the tavern fell silent for a moment before erupting into lively discussions. The conversations mainly consisted of praises for Yue Nu Palace and compliments for Xie Feiyan. After all, understanding human relationships was also a necessary skill for those in the martial world; no one wanted to provoke someone they couldn't afford to offend and lose their life unnecessarily.
Xie Feiyan slightly nodded and waved her hand. "Granny is being too polite. Earlier, you mentioned that Yijian sect seems to be opening its gates to recruit disciples?"
She certainly did not intend to switch her allegiance to Yijian sect. However, who in the martial world did not know? Yijian sect was one of the top powers in Qingzhou, on par with Cangjian Mountain Villa!
Although the two appeared peaceful on the surface, there were numerous hidden conflicts that could not be concealed from the well-informed people of the martial world. This situation only changed when Yijian sect closed its gates and Cangjian Mountain Villa gained the largest voice in Qingzhou.
For Cangjian Mountain Villa, other matters could be disregarded, but the wariness towards Yijian sect had always been deeply buried in their hearts.
"Several hundred years ago, the masters of Yijian sect all fell and dwindled. Even now, even if they have regained some Vital Energy, they are probably still no match for Cangjian Mountain Villa, right?" Someone expressed their confusion and couldn't help but ask aloud.
In present-day Qingzhou, it had almost reached a point where only Cangjian Mountain Villa was recognized, while Yijian sect was not. Some second- or third-rate sects might still remember the reputation of Yijian sect, but lower-tier martial artists might not have even heard of its name.
The Old Woman shot a glance at that person and scoffed, "What do you know?! Yijian sect has been closed for many years, and now suddenly reopening must mean they have regained confidence and are not afraid to compete with Cangjian Mountain Villa. At the very least, they should have the strength to measure themselves against Cangjian Mountain Villa."
"Grandma, are you talking about Meng Changqing from Yijian sect?" While others were still puzzled, Xie Feiyan from Yue Nu Palace seemed to recall something and spoke up suddenly.
