The Hidden Dragon Ranking's Top Five! Fame Shakes the World!

It was midday, when the sun was high in the sky.

Within the Dragon Gate, shimmering light dances like gold.

The bustling atmosphere at Fish-Dragon Lake Martial Dao Summit at Cloud-Crossing Sword City last time, with an exceptionally large number of martial arts practitioners.

They were all martial arts figures who had been invited by the people of Cloud-Crossing Sword City to discuss important matters.

"Sword City summoned us here urgently, could it be that something big has happened?"

"Could it be related to what happened in Southern Border?"

"The Prince of Prince of Southern Pacification's delegation has arrived in Yun Province. He's not in the Southern Border. Could something really have gone wrong there?"

"Speaking of the last time I checked the rankings, it seemed that Young Hero Li and Fairy Ying were slaying demons and monsters in the Southern Border..."

"What a pity, I came to Yun Province hoping to see them in person."

The chatter among the martial arts practitioners quickly subsided.

Because characters have begun to appear above the Dragon Gate.

[Ranked 100th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Xiao Qin]

[Martial Arts: Mastery of the Two Apertures of Divine Observation, Six Harmonies Fist, and Xuan Wind Slash Sword; acquired a profound Image-Mimicking Martial Arts; upon reaching the Divine Observation Realm, one possesses over ten Upper Form and two Extreme Form, demonstrating comprehensive mastery of various martial arts without any obvious weaknesses, and also possesses a Secret Method.]

[Number: Wind-Slashing Broken Sword]

[Ranked 86th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Huang Donglai]

[Ranked 68th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Xu Yi]

[Ranked 60th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Zhong Zhenyue.]

Zhong Zhenyue's ranking jumped five places.

However, this achievement did not break the silence of the second floor of the restaurant; it was as if even the noise from below could not reach it.

"Father, since you have His Majesty's orders, I will take my leave shortly."

Zhong Zhenyue resolutely blocked the railway.

Zhong Qin lowered his eyelids slightly; even at this moment, the Prince of Southern Pacification remained calm and composed.

"But the Southern Pass still stands. Without the Emperor's orders, if I desert my post and become a deserter, I will be executed according to military law, especially with the enemy at hand."

Zhong Zhenyue didn't think too much about it.

Even if Greenwood City is gone, at least there is still Southern Pass.

If he doesn't go back either, the soldiers of Nanguan City will be leaderless, and Southern Pass itself may fall.

However, before leaving, he wanted to confirm something on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Brother Li... is he still alive?

A moment later, he had risen to eighth place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Zhong Zhenyue didn't see the name he wanted to see.

Not only was Li Mo gone, but Ying Bing was gone too.

The two elders of Cloud-Crossing Sword City had completely changed their expressions.

The eighth, seventh, and sixth ones are not included.

Does this mean that the two young people who left an indelible mark on the history of Cloud-Crossing Sword City have perished along with Greenwood City?

This made those who shared the same feelings feel utterly devastated.

But the next second, Zhong Zhenyue's eyes suddenly widened.

He pointed to the bold, powerful characters on the Dragon Gate, his mouth agape, but found himself speechless.

[Fifth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking: Ying Bing]

[Martial Arts: Five Apertures of Divine Observation, Sword Heart Clarity, martial arts attainment reaching the pinnacle of perfection, possessing extremely powerful Secret Method, the form and spirit observed are unknown.]

Later, she summoned the True Phoenix to descend upon the world, frightening away many high-grade Calamity Beast.]

[Title: Guye Goddess, Cold Fairy]

[Account: Wife-Prospering Fighting Soul, Divine Hammer Little Overlord]

The Fish-Dragon Lake fell silent.

Even the top three on the Hidden Dragon Ranking were no longer of any interest. After all, they were still the same three: the current crown prince, the young master of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Villa, and the Saint Son of the Demon Summoning Cult Sect. They had already been discussed and debated countless times.

Even if there's going to be discussion, it should be about the top three positions next time...

Will it be these three again?

Countless Yun Province stood there, their faces as if they were in a dream, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The bad news is that many people guessed correctly: something serious has indeed happened in Southern Border, and it's bigger than anyone imagined.

The good news is that the matter has been settled.

Even top experts from the Human Ranking and Earth Ranking might not be able to help in this situation.

They were defeated by two rising stars from the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Upstairs in the restaurant.

"Huh? This..."

Zhong Zhenyue looked completely bewildered.

He had just made up his mind to go down in flames, and after mentally preparing himself for so long, he felt a surge of patriotic fervor.

Now, a bucket of cold water has been poured over it.

"..."

Elder Xu's face flushed red, and it took him a long time to utter a single sentence:

"They're so young, how come they're so amazing?"

"Okay, okay..."

Elder Zeng breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He thought he had no more enemies to beg for forgiveness, but the more he was kowtowed to, the more arrogant they became. Where can you even begin to reason with them?

"So, we don't need to gather the heroes to defend Yun Province?"

"Haha, since they're already here, let's tell them to go up to Sword City for a drink."

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Let's celebrate Sword Hero and Sword Immortal Li with a toast!"

The elders were overjoyed, Elder Zeng even said that he had been inspired again and wrote two poems that night.

Zhong Qin, who had remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, finally relaxed a little, but his expression became even more complicated.

He looked up at the three suns.

The heavy burden on his shoulders still remains.

"Let's set off for the capital."

When the Prince of Southern Pacification spoke, his voice returned to its calm tone.

Zhong Zhenyue was about to say something when Zhong Qin interrupted him:

"They will eventually come to the Imperial Capital; you can wait for them Imperial Capital."

"Yes, Father."

Eastern Wasteland Domain, Purple Sun Prefecture City.

Purple Sun Prefecture City does not have Dragon Gate, but the list of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Ranking List is posted on the notice board at the city gate every year.

It was posted by people sent by Clear Abyss Sect.

Any sect that receives an official title from the imperial court and has its own fiefdom will receive the news around the same time.

The news has now arrived.

Xi Yangyang Hotpot Restaurant, everyone fell silent.

The elders exchanged glances, and couldn't help but recall the beginning of the year when the boy was still clueless and had never been exposed to martial arts, and the girl was suffering from a cold illness, facing the danger of dying young.

Suddenly, these two names appeared in the top five of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

He became a renowned hero Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, truly famous throughout the world.

It hasn't been long.

Why do I suddenly feel like I've lived in another world?

"No need to go any further, hahaha, we don't need to go any further!"

Xue Jing laughed so hard his gums showed.

"That brat, why doesn't he reply to my Concentric Bell if there's nothing wrong?"

Shang Wu was secretly pleased, but her beautiful face was puffed up with anger. She put her hands on her hips and said that when Li Mo came back, she would make a good rip-off off her precious disciple.

"Five Profound Crystal! Five! I should have filled the warship with them all at once."

Elder Qian's face twitched with pain:

"Never mind, what's done is done, let's eat first."
