The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, a cosmetic surgery was underway. Zhang Chongqing wielded the scalpel, and after four procedures: skin cutting, skin grafting, skin tightening, and stitching, the surgery was completed. Moments later, Yi Junsheng woke up filled with hope and took the bronze mirror to catch a glimpse of his new face. Upon seeing it, Yi Junsheng exclaimed loudly, "What is this? Zhang Chongqing, is this what you call the most handsome face?"
Zhang Chongqing replied, "Indeed, this is the most handsome face in my mind."
Yi Junsheng picked up a knife and said, "Zhang Chongqing, do you want to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife? How can you call this face handsome? Are your eyes defective?"
Zhang Chongqing said, "Don't be impatient; cosmetic surgery is not considered complete until the stitches are removed. The current appearance is just a transitional phase, so it looks like this. However, once the stitches are removed, your handsome face will be revealed; at that time, you will officially become Pan An and could easily charm countless young women."
Yi Junsheng asked, "Is that for real? Otherwise, I will ruin your reputation and take your life when the time comes."
Zhang Chongqing reassured him, "Don't worry; my reputation is more important than your appearance. In ten days, you can come back to have the stitches removed."
Yi Junsheng replied, "Alright, I'll wait ten days. I need to leave now."
After leaving the medical pavilion, Yi Junsheng went to the market and bought a mask to wear on his face; he then headed towards Tongfu Inn.
Sanwei Daoist was drinking tea inside Tongfu Inn when Yi Junsheng walked in. Since Yi Junsheng was wearing a mask, he casually took a seat. Sanwei Daoist looked at the person sitting across from him and said, "This gentleman also wears a mask; did you do something shameful?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "What do you know, old Daoist? Nowadays in the martial world, it's fashionable to wear masks while doing good deeds. I'm just someone who does good deeds without wanting recognition. Oh oh, I recognize you; you're the Sanwei Daoist who survived under the high-pitched sound of the Pipa."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "How do you know that?"
Yi Junsheng answered, "Your story has spread throughout the martial world. I see that you were able to survive under that loud Pipa sound; you're not simple at all."
Sanwei Daoist said, "What are you talking about? That Qin Se Pi Pa was lucky to leave in front of me; next time, that demon won't be so fortunate."
Yi Junsheng said, "Oh, so the one playing the Pipa is called Qin Se Pi Pa, such a beautiful name; too bad he is a murderer."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "May I ask the honorable name of this masked gentleman who does good deeds?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "I am the one known as Saipan An, Yi Junsheng."
Sanwei Daoist questioned in confusion, "Are you really that handsome?"
Yi Junsheng responded, "Put away your skeptical gaze; I am definitely a genuine handsome man."
While the two were chatting, sounds of fighting came from upstairs. Moments later, the fighters crashed down from above, both being top martial artists. They exchanged blows, destroying several tables in the inn. At this moment, the Innkeeper shouted, "Please stop! No fighting is allowed inside Tongfu Inn; please cease at once." However, the two fighters ignored him and continued attacking each other. Suddenly, a sword aura flew in from the entrance of the inn with overwhelming force and could even change direction, striking at the two combatants. The fighters were caught off guard and were hit by the sword aura, collapsing to the ground and immediately dying. The crowd was stunned; the martial artists present confirmed that the fighters were indeed dead, yet no one could see any wounds on their bodies.
At this time, Sanwei Daoist said, "Could this be the Thousand-Mile Soul Kill?"
Everyone felt a chill at his words. Yi Junsheng remarked, "Thousand-Mile Soul Kill? Isn't that the signature move of Sword Saint Murong Mulong?"
Sanwei Daoist replied, "There are no wounds on their bodies and no signs of poisoning. Everyone saw that these two died after being struck by a sword aura; aside from Thousand-Mile Soul Kill, I can't think of any other technique."
Yi Junsheng said, "If it really is Thousand-Mile Soul Kill, then the Sword Saint has reappeared in this world. The undefeated legend of the martial world—I only saw half of his face back on Rock Peak."
Someone asked, "Why only half a face?"
Yi Junsheng answered, "Because he descended at that time and vanished after delivering one strike. I was positioned to his side, so I only saw half of his face."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "Then why was he at Rock Peak?"
Yi Junsheng said, "There was a martial arts competition back in the day, where there was a Test Stone on Rock Peak that could measure a martial artist's Inner Strength. At that time, there were five participants, all of whom were righteous figures in the martial world and did not wish to fight each other, so they chose to compete in Inner Strength."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "Why did they have to compete?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "At that time, Divine Craftsman Ou Ziya forged an unparalleled sword, the Mogan Sword. That competition was to determine the rightful owner of the sword."
A guest then asked, "Who won at that time?"
Yi Junsheng exclaimed, "Of course it was Sword Saint Murong Mulong! He was the last to arrive on the scene. As soon as he appeared and moved his finger, he unleashed a strike that penetrated the Test Stone. To this day, there is still a hole in the Test Stone that could be used as a telescope. After Sword Saint unleashed his strike, the Test Stone emitted a red light and made a sound indicating Murong Mulong had fully penetrated the stone."
Sanwei Daoist questioned, "What does that mean?"
Yi Junsheng explained, "It means he penetrated the Test Stone because the other four did not penetrate it; thus, the Test Stone would sink several inches into the stone."
The guest remarked, "Murong Mulong, once a legend in the martial world who has never been defeated, has reappeared in the martial world today. But why did he kill these two people?"
Yi Junsheng said, "You would have to ask the Innkeeper about that. Innkeeper, come here. Didn't you say earlier that this inn does not allow fighting? Why is there such a rule? What happens if someone fights?"
The Innkeeper replied, "The prohibition against fighting is set by the boss. As for what happens if someone violates this rule, I do not know. You can refer to the fate of these two."
Yi Junsheng responded, "It's set by the boss; your inn's boss must have the surname Murong?"
The Innkeeper said, "I wouldn't know about that. Do any of you recognize who these two deceased individuals are?"
Yi Junsheng stated, "I recognize one of them; he is Dagger Cloud from Famous Sword Hall. His senior brother Blade One often gathers information at Broadcast Tower."
Someone else said: "The other one is Li Yi from Bagua Gate." Sanwei Daoist: "Thousand Miles of Soul Killing is indeed well-deserved, killing people invisible; even gods and immortals cannot save their souls. Everyone compares these two to each other. Send the body back to their sect." Yi Junsheng said: "Sanmei Daoist, I think 99% of the time the innkeeper is the sword master; when I can take off the mask, I want to worship the sword master. As a teacher, I want to learn top-notch swordsmanship." Sanwei Daoist: "Don't imagine, but this sword master's surname is Murong, I don't know what he has to do with Murong Manor" Yi Junsheng云: "I think it has nothing to do with it. It's just the same surname. Maybe it's a coincidence?" Sanwei Daoist Quote: "Coincidence? How come there are so many coincidences in the world? I think there must be something to do with it." Yi Junsheng get close Sanwei Daoist: "Then what's your relationship?" Sanwei Daoist: "I don't know that either." Yi Junsheng said: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Spreading rumors is nothing more than what conspirators in the martial arts do. Misfortune comes from the mouth. "Sanwei Daoist said: "I'm just guessing, and it's just for you. It's not to the point of spreading rumors." Yi Junsheng said: "Sanwei Daoist, be careful when going out. Oh, don’t hit the threshold. Now I’m going to Broadcast Tower to find out the latest news. Do you dare to come?” Sanwei Daoist: “Just go, who’s afraid?” Snow Sea Human Bone. Bridge, the two leaders, said "Long time no see". The leader of Purple Twelve Hours Master, Time Master, and Snow Sea Human Bone Bridge, Blood Drinking and Flesh Eating, Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh officially met. At this time, only a Radiance was seen emerging from the bottom of the bridge, and Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh appeared, accompanied by the poem: Thousands of rivers and rivers converge on the bridge, and blood scatters and flesh flies away, leaving only bones. All the heroes are silent, but I am still watching Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh.
Time Master said: “Bridge Master still has the same charm as in the past. I wonder what your purpose is for this meeting today?”
Bridge Master replied: “It's good to be straightforward. I'll get to the point. I need to borrow the Black Moon Box for ten days.”
Time Master responded: “The Black Moon Box is a treasure of the Black Tribe. I do not possess it.”
Bridge Master: “You can’t hide from those who know. Do you need me to clarify things for you, Time Master?”
Time Master pondered and said: “Alright, what benefits will I receive in return?”
Bridge Master stated: “The current situation in the martial arts world is quite treacherous. I can promise to help you three times.”
Time Master: “Fine, I agree. By the way, what do you want the Black Moon Box for?”
Bridge Master answered: “That is a personal matter, and I cannot disclose it.”
Time Master said: “Alright, I will deliver the Black Moon Box to you in three days. Please.”
Bridge Master replied: “I will accept it.”
