The carriage was spacious, covered with a luxurious wool carpet. Chen Lianzhen sat at a small table, unrolled a blank scroll, and held a brush, scribbling something down.
The scroll was covered with densely packed characters.
It wasn't written in a day.
It's like a diary!
[On the 16th, practiced swordsmanship, studied sword manuals, and patrolled the western border.]
[On the 17th, I practiced swordsmanship and studied the sword manual.]
[On the 18th, I discovered that the deputy commander was neglecting his duties, going for a drive with a beautiful woman at Brocade Cloud Bridge during work hours. Feeling resentful, I made him practice swordsmanship with me and beat him until he cried.]
On the 19th, the immortals and demons joined forces against the Seven Stars Domain, and the Domain Lord summoned me back.
[On the 20th, on the way back, my good friend and comrade-in-arms Zhao Yuejia passed away. I am heartbroken! I heard that the new Lord Yaoguang is a little girl. Hmph, what important task can a little girl shoulder?]
[On the 21st, in half an hour we will arrive at the Purple Tenuity Palace. My heart is filled with immense excitement! Fighting for the Seven Stars Domain, a blazing fire burns within me, never to be extinguished!]
Record complete.
Chen Lianzhen closed the scroll, slowly shut his eyes, his heart surging with emotion.
The Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Sect jointly attacked the Seven Stars Domain...
How familiar this scene is!
His memories traced back to a certain time, to that pitch-black Eternal Night, when two armies invaded, and a fierce battle for survival ensued!
The annihilation of a race!
This time, we must not let this tragedy repeat itself!
The banner in the sky shines with unparalleled brilliance.
The second release has begun!
This is the moment everyone has been waiting for!
This was a moment that shocked the entire nation!
All eyes were fixed on the golden Heavenly Ranking.
Some wanted to confirm their guesses!
Some were tense and deeply shocked!
[Second Place]
Name: Wei Hengfeng
Sword: Long Wind
Rank: Saint Artifact
Score: 9000
!!!
The moment that name appeared, the world erupted in commotion!
"Ancestor of the Immortal Alliance, Wei Hengfeng!"
"He was an unparalleled swordsman, a master of the art of Sword Dao!"
" Xie Feng can't possibly kill someone from the Immortal Alliance, can he? That would be too terrifying!"
Let's wait and see!
"Come on, do you dare to bet again this time?"
" Xie Feng couldn't possibly kill him; he's Saint Venerable! Saint Venerable Venerables are few and far between in the entire world!"
I bet Xie Feng will lose!
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"...
People started placing bets, and almost everyone bet on Xie Feng to lose.
Xie Feng will definitely win!
Suddenly, a strange voice came from the crowd.
"Hahaha, what a brilliant move! No matter how strong Xie Feng is, he can't possibly kill a monster-level ancestor!"
"You're the only one who bet on him to win, be careful you don't lose everything!"
"What an idiot! Hehehe!"
"Wait! This person looks like Jun Ran, the lord of the Green Duckweed Manor!"
Someone suddenly looked to the side and exclaimed in surprise.
Amidst the surging crowd, a woman in a blue cloak stood calmly, her extraordinary bearing captivating all who beheld her.
She was the one who firmly said Xie Feng would win.
"What? What? Jun Ran!!"
"Lord of the Manor, I'm reporting him! It was he who called you an idiot!"
"Ahem, Your Highness, I'm so sorry, my voice was indeed a little too loud just now. Please forgive me."
"No matter how much we support Xie Feng, this is definitely a losing proposition!"
"She's placed a huge bet; if she loses, she'll be paying Green Duckweed Manor three years' worth of expenses!"
"Conversely, if she wins, she will gain immeasurable wealth! However, the possibility of this is extremely slim!"
"Rich people are always afraid they won't have enough money to spend..."
Amidst the frenzied discussion, Jun Ran remained calm, determined to continue this high-stakes gamble.
During her time at Heaven-Severing Lake, she had been in close contact with Xie Feng and learned that he not only possessed terrifying talent but also understood his seemingly warm but actually cold personality.
Seemingly kind and harmless, he is actually vengeful and ruthless!
Since Xie Feng dared to dominate the rankings all the way to the top ten, no matter how powerful Wei Hengfeng is, it won't stop him from taking revenge!
Moreover, Xie Feng is not a mindless and impulsive person. The fact that he dared to offend the Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Sect in front of the whole world shows that he has absolute confidence.
Only people like this can achieve great things!
Purple Tenuity Palace.
somewhere.
The sun sets, the road ends, but the sunset is endless.
Beneath the lush Scarlet Maple, Ye Yuan and Meng Wuqu sat facing each other, chatting idly.
" Old Meng, did you see that? The boss is showing off his might again."
A slight smile appeared on Ye Yuan's lips.
His admiration for Xie Feng has never been concealed.
Meng Wuqu nodded slightly.
"Tsk, I'm only thirty-two. There are so many masters in the Upper Realm! It's because my swordsmanship is not good enough."
" Old Meng, how about you teach me swordsmanship sometime? In return, I'll teach you chess!"
Ye Yuan blinked.
Meng Wuqu scoffed, "Now you have a sense of crisis? Back in the Lower Realm, I offered to teach you, but you refused. Now you want to learn, you'll have to pay extra!"
Ye Yuan: "..."
Meng Wuqu asked, "Will you learn or not?"
Ye Yuan exclaimed, "This is such a rip-off?!"
Meng Wuqu said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Ye Yuan: "..."
When Meng Wuqu was trapped in the Lower Realm, he wandered around and accidentally entered the Azure Cloud Holy Land.
Ye Yuan had just set up a game, and the two played a game of chess, which ended in a draw. They agreed to have another match the next day.
After a few times, Meng Wuqu could no longer defeat Ye Yuan. However, the two got along well and became acquainted. Meng Wuqu would come to the Holy Land to sit when he had nothing to do, and later he simply stayed in the Azure Cloud Holy Land for a long time.
"Let's discuss swordsmanship another day! Now that the Heavenly Ranking has revealed second place, why don't we guess who will take first place?"
Ye Yuan held a chess piece in his hand, rubbing it back and forth.
Meng Wuqu straightened his posture, puffed out his chest, and asked suggestively, "What do you think?"
Ye Yuan glanced at him.
This guy just wants me to say he's number one, doesn't he?
Haha, he won't tell!
"No matter how much you hint, it's no use. The number one spot will definitely go to the boss!" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes.
He will always believe in Xie Feng!
"The boss appears kind and gentle on the surface, but he's ruthless, decisive, and straightforward! He's kind to those who treat him well, and he'll make sure anyone who bullies him pays a heavy price!"
Ye Yuan's eyes sparkled with admiration.
"You know your boss so well, huh?" Meng Wuqu's voice was tinged with sarcasm. "And what about me? What kind of person am I?"
"You..."
Ye Yuan glanced at the man with his Double Pupils, sized him up, and laughed, "Doesn't look like a good person! Always has a gloomy face, like someone owes you money!"
Meng Wuqu: "..."
He Wordless silent and said no more.
"I was just kidding, you actually took it seriously? I've never had any friends in my life, you're my first! Fool, do you even need to compare your importance in my Ye Yuan with others?"
Ye Yuan suppressed his playful laughter and began to deliver a heartfelt speech.
Meng Wuqu said coldly, "Pretentious!"
Ye Yuan pouted, clearly touched, but still pretending to be stubborn.
at this point.
A vast and magnificent light shone on the Heavenly Ranking.
Ye Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Is the boss about to make a move?!
He and Meng Wuqu stared intently at the Heavenly Ranking, curious about what would happen next!
