Martial Arts Immortal.

Chapter 185

After leaving the courtyard, Pei Xuan headed west.

Until it was far away from the central area of ​​the inner city and came to the outer city.

By the bright moonlight, we identified the direction below and entered the village on the left.

After walking a few hundred meters, we stopped in front of an ordinary villager's house.

咚

dong dong dong...

Pei Xuan stood in front of the house and knocked on the door gently according to a certain pattern.

The door opened, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged old man with a dark complexion wearing simple linen clothes.

When the old man saw the token in Pei Xuan's hand, he bowed respectfully and turned sideways to let Pei Xuan in.

When he arrived at the house, Pei Xuan walked to a room in the corner and groped on the wall for a while. A dark tunnel appeared on the ground.

In the tunnel, there were wisps of dark firelight emanating from it.

Pei Xuan jumped slightly and entered the tunnel.

The tunnel was very narrow at first, but as it progressed, it became wider and wider, and there was a faint smell of incense inside.

After walking a few dozen feet, the front suddenly became clear.

In the huge cave, there stands a huge, majestic and solemn statue of the god.

"You came."

"I haven't shown up for so long. I thought you died in Luo Wu's hands." The man standing in front of the statue said without looking back.

"Almost died."

Pei Xuan said lightly.

With his peak strength, it was not easy to survive from the hands of Grandmaster Huang Baizhong and escape from Luo Wu's pursuit.

"Help me check someone."

Pei Xuan said straight to the point. After hearing this, the waiter next to him took out a pen and paper and started recording.

"Zhao Hao first appeared in Guanghua Territory when he came from Bafang City with the Guangxuan Escort Bureau of Nanman Bafang City. After killing a good member of my Pei family, he fled to Wuling City."

"I made friends with the Li family in Wuling City, entered the martial arts exchange meeting through them, and stood out in the challenge. He is the only warrior who has won the title of undefeated in [-] games."

"But since then, it has disappeared without a trace."

"I want you to find out his true identity and specific location."

Pei Xuan said lightly, a hint of violence and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the black and red aura on his body surged uncontrollably.

"it is good."

"There is something wrong with your current state, and there is a tendency to become a demon."

"Don't go anywhere in the next time, stay here to stabilize your mind."

The man in front of the statue turned around, glanced at Pei Xuan, and said lightly.

This is a man in his 30s with an ordinary appearance and deep dark eyes.

A pair of eyes seemed to have magical powers. With just one glance, they could clearly see Pei Xuan's problems.

Pei Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the violence in his heart.

He nodded slowly, took the incense handed to him by the waiter beside him, lit it, and worshiped religiously like a tall statue of gods and demons.

This is a somewhat strange statue of gods and demons.

The statue has its hands clasped together, and there are ten arms behind its back, as if mad, holding various weapons, about to launch a fatal blow.

The expression on its face was painful and ferocious, but its eyes were extremely peaceful and peaceful.

The whole body is filled with conflict and strange harmony.

As he worshiped, an inexplicable emotion emerged from Pei Xuan's heart, and the violence and killing in his eyes slowly faded away.

Instead, it was like a statue of gods and demons, with eyes full of peace and tranquility.

……

In the Grand View Tower, Lin Zheyu looked curiously at the guests coming and going.

Those present were almost all talented warriors who were well-known in Wuling City, which surprised Lin Zheyu.

"Who organized this banquet?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

Xu Kaiwen, Wei Dongguang, and Huang Youwei were speechless when they heard this.

At this point, they still don’t know who is hosting this banquet, and they don’t know what to say.

No wonder they are so powerful.

Not only was he favored by Mr. Yang and the sect leader, and he was admitted into the Wuji Sect under special circumstances, but he also reached the sky and directly became a true disciple.

It relies not only on the strong innate understanding, but also on the selfless energy and spirit of cultivation.

"This banquet was organized by Jijia Jiweicheng. As a leader of the younger generation in Wuling City, many people have to give him a bit of a thumbs-down."

Huang Youwei explained in a low voice.

"Ji Wei City?"

"City Guard Ji Family?"

Lin Zheyu thought for a while and found that the only one that corresponded to the possible forces in his mind was the Ji family of the City Guards who had such appeal.

The city guards in Wuling City are not comparable to those in Bafang City and Songyi City.

As one of the ten largest cities in the Guanghua Region, Wuling City's city guard force and combat effectiveness are comparable to those of the top sects.

As one of the three giants of the City Guards, the Ji family needs to be given some slack even by the Wuji Sect.

"Yes."

"Ji Weicheng doesn't have much fame in the eyes of ordinary people, and they have never even heard of it."

"But in the martial arts circle, he is a famous figure."

"You should have heard of Xiao Shi. Just like you, a warrior who was admitted by the God of War Sect more than ten years ago has now been promoted to the 30th place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"This Hidden Dragon List is not just the entire Wuling City, nor is it just the Guanghua Region, but a list based on the entire Wei Dynasty."

"Xiao Shi can reach the top thirty on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and his qualifications and understanding are among the best in Guanghua Domain."

"And this Jiweicheng is even more terrifying. It once reached the astonishing 18th place on the Qianlong Ranking. If it weren't for its age, it might even be able to improve a few places."

Huang Youwei explained, his eyes full of admiration and wonder.

That’s No. 18 on the Hidden Dragon List!
"No wonder it has such a strong appeal."

Lin Zheyu said clearly.

He had read about the Hidden Dragon List from the Wuji Sect's classics. Only Marrow Training Stage warriors before the age of 60 could be on the list. Those who were over the age or whose strength was promoted would be removed from the list.

This is a list that represents potential.

During the Marrow Training Stage, the stronger the strength, the greater the potential, so it is called the Hidden Dragon List.

"Uncle Master, aren't you only 50 years old now? Do you want to test your strength?"

"As long as you defeat the warriors on the Hidden Dragon List, you can be on the list." Huang Youwei suggested with a smile.

Since becoming a true disciple, he has never seen Lin Zheyu take action.

He was extremely confident in Lin Zheyu's strength.

This was the only master who could tie with Monk Pu Xuan at the martial arts exchange meeting and win the title of undefeated in [-] games.

I don’t dare to think about the top fifty, but the top one hundred will definitely be no problem.

"Are there any benefits after being on the list?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"Fame!"

"The Hidden Dragon List is a representative of one's own strength and potential. Any warrior who can be on the Hidden Dragon List will have a large number of strong men and forces coming to seek their followers."

Xu Kaien said matter-of-factly.

Just look at Ji Weicheng and you will see how terrifying the appeal of the warriors on the list is.

If he hadn't been unable to go up, he would have wanted to find a warrior on the Hidden Dragon List to challenge him.

"That's it."

"I'm used to keeping a low profile and don't like to act too openly." Lin Zheyu smiled and shook his head.

He looked around, wanting to see if Li Mengqi and the others were coming.

But I searched around and couldn't find it.

"Uncle Master, don't listen to Xu Kaiwen's nonsense."

"Being on the Hidden Dragon List is not just for fame. I heard that being on the list will be of great benefit to a warrior's practice."

"I don't know the specific benefits. Every warrior on the Hidden Dragon List is silent." Wei Dongguang interrupted.

"Yes, that is indeed the case."

"At the beginning, Senior Uncle Chen Ding, Senior Uncle Haihong and Senior Aunt Wenzi were all on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but none of them made it into the top fifty."

"I think in a year or two, grandpa will let you go out and challenge the masters on the Hidden Dragon List." Huang Youwei said.

This is the only way for every true disciple of the Wuji Sect.

Even before becoming a true disciple, some people started to climb the Qianlong Ranking.

In other words, Lin Zheyu was a wild martial artist who was trained under the guidance of a teacher and was admitted under special circumstances. He had not yet completely converted to Bitao Boundless True Skill, so Huang Baizhong did not let him be on the Hidden Dragon List.

"Is there such a benefit?"

"By the way, didn't Yue Qinghong, Luo Dinglong and others make it to the Hidden Dragon List?" Lin Zheyu said suddenly.

He had defeated many talented warriors in the Marrow Training Realm. If they were all on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, then he should have been on it long ago.

"No."

"Although they are strong, they are still far from true geniuses."

"There are only 100 spots in the Hidden Dragon List, which includes the talented warriors from the entire Wei Dynasty. Luo Dinglong and others are only slightly famous in the Wuling City area."

Huang Youwei explained.

"What about Pu Xuan? Is he on the list?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

Pu Xuan's strength is very strong. In terms of defense, he has the Buddhist Golden Body, in terms of speed, he has the world's fastest divine foot power, and in terms of attack, he has the fierce Great Mercy Palm.

Lin Zheyu also relied on his superb close combat skills to win by dealing with the opponent.

Facing Puxuan, Lin Zheyu later reviewed and found that even if he unlocked the Nine Turns Locking Yuan Gong at that time, he would not be able to break through the opponent's defense.

"Ah."

"After the martial arts exchange meeting, he went around challenging the geniuses on the Qianlong List."

"It has now climbed to 83rd and is still rising steadily."

"There have been more and more bald donkeys on the list recently. In the entire Qianlong List, there are eight bald donkeys on the list." Huang Youwei said unhappily.

Wei's own official list was occupied by foreign warriors, which was really a shame.

This shows that in the entire Wei Dynasty, there are not a hundred warriors who can match those bald donkeys.

"Haha, brother Youwei, long time no see."

While they were chatting, hearty laughter suddenly came, and a man with a delicate beard walked towards them.

"This is Qinghong Sect Deng An, the son of the third elder of Huanhai Hall. The woman beside him is his biological sister, named Deng Rou."

Huang Youwei introduced in a low voice.

Qinghong Sect, like Wuji Sect, is one of the four top sects in the Guanghua Region. Huanhaitang is the branch of Qinghong Sect in Wuling City.

"..."

Lin Zheyu couldn't help being speechless as he listened to Huang Youwei's introduction.

This boy is really dedicated in making friends, and the ones he makes friends with are all the true descendants of the second generation martial arts, elders, and clan masters.

However, most of the true disciples in the Wuji Sect were not as good as Youwei. Lin Zheyu was the only one who had just arrived and became familiar with him.

"Hey, this friend looks a little unfamiliar. Is he a new inner disciple of Wuji Sect?" Deng An looked at Lin Zheyu and asked curiously.

Deng An is a bold man with a loud voice, which makes him feel carefree.

And his sister Deng Rou has a gentle temperament and looks delicate and frail, which makes people feel pity for her.

Lin Zheyu sensed the strength of the two people and found that the power of Qi and blood in Deng Rou's body was not inferior to that of Huang Youwei, and she was not a delicate and weak woman.

The two of them seemed to be very familiar with Huang Youwei and the others, so they sat down unceremoniously.

"Let me introduce you two, this is my junior uncle, named Lin Zheyu." Huang Youwei said with a smile.

"Little Master Uncle!?"

"Is it possible that he is the true disciple admitted by Wuji Sect under special circumstances?" "I didn't expect him to be so young!"

Deng An exclaimed.

The Wuji Sect has a new true disciple, and it is an exceptional admission. The major forces have already received the news about the wild warriors recruited from the outside world.

Deng An also heard about it.

At the beginning, he was still curious about who this unknown warrior was.

When they met now, he didn't expect him to be so young. If Huang Youwei hadn't introduced him, he would have thought he was a warrior who had just been promoted to the Marrow Training Realm.

Deng Rou, who was sitting quietly aside, looked at Lin Zheyu curiously when he heard this. She didn't seem to expect that this guy who looked younger than him was actually a new true disciple of the Wuji Sect.

"Haha, isn't it surprising!"

"I was shocked at first. When I called him uncle, I couldn't even say it out loud." Huang Youwei laughed.

"I don't know where Mr. Lin comes from. With Mr. Lin's strength, I have never heard of Mr. Lin's deeds before?"

Deng Rou asked curiously.

She blinked her eyes and looked straight at Lin Zheyu, her voice was extremely soft, like a spring breeze blowing by.

"He is just a country person who has been hiding in the mountains all year round to practice. It is normal that Miss Deng has never heard of him." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"Brother Lin can be accepted as a true disciple by the Wuji Sect, so he must be quite powerful. I wonder if you are interested in learning from each other later?"

Deng An laughed and said.

He really wanted to try to see what kind of strength the man in front of him had, and he could actually become a true disciple.

As one of the four top sects, the Qinghong Sect, Deng An knew very well how stringent the Wuji Sect's requirements were for recruiting wild warriors.

It is even more remarkable to be admitted under special circumstances and to be directly accepted as a disciple by Sect Leader Huang Baizhong and become a true disciple.

Only if you are extremely fond of the other person and think that the other person's talent is very evil can you achieve this level.

"Dun An!"

"What do you mean, I call him uncle, and you call him brother Lin. Are you taking advantage of us?" Before Lin Zheyu could speak, Xu Kaiwen cursed.

"Uh, what else should I call him?"

"I can't just call him uncle like you, right?"

An innocent expression appeared on Deng An's face and he said in a helpless tone.

While a few people were chatting and joking, the banquet finally started.

A handsome young man in white clothes walked out slowly.

He walked to the center of the crowd with a smile on his face, and the entire Grand View Tower fell silent.

"I'm glad that you can come here to show me your respect. It's Ji's honor."

"You must have heard about the recent chaos caused by demon warriors outside Wuling City, right?"

"As a warrior, you must hoe the strong and support the weak..."

"..."

Ji Weicheng gave an impassioned speech, full of all kinds of righteousness, and stood on the moral high ground.

"This Mr. Ji is very talented in literature!"

Lin Zheyu listened to the other party's speech and couldn't help but praise it.

"Of course."

"Mr. Ji was born in a Confucian sect. Xi's awe-inspiring true meaning is that he truly serves the people wholeheartedly and has done a lot of good deeds. This is why he was able to call on so many talented warriors."

Huang Youwei explained.

"No wonder."

"I thought he had learned some true meaning, but his words were so contagious. It turned out to be the great true meaning of Confucianism."

Lin Zheyu suddenly said.

He suddenly remembered Xu Shixin. That guy was also a warrior from the Confucian sect, and he had passed the imperial examination.

"it is good!"

"Master Ji is right. We, the warriors, should uphold justice, slay demons, and take the world as our responsibility."

Many warriors echoed loudly.

Even Lin Zheyu couldn't help but feel a sense of recognition after hearing this.

"Thank you all friends for your recognition. After the banquet, if you are willing to follow Ji out of the city to search for demon warriors, come forward and sign up."

"..."

Lin Zheyu glanced at Huang Youwei: "Are you going too?"

"Don't go."

"It's very dangerous outside now. Most of the surviving demon warriors are masters at the energy transformation level. If I have such strength, I will definitely seek death."

Huang Youwei shrugged and said with great self-knowledge.

"If you don't go, why don't you come?"

Lin Zheyu said speechlessly.

He saw many warriors eager to give it a try, rubbing their fists and palms.

"You can't come if you don't go?"

"If Heng Qiming hadn't come too, I wouldn't have come." Huang Youwei said with a smile.

He came here just for Heng Qiming this time.

Finally, he found a master who was willing to help him. When he heard that the other party was coming back from today's banquet, he asked someone to get an invitation for him and followed him.

"..."

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but be speechless.

This style is really shady.

"Master Lin, are you going?"

"Actually, this operation will not be as dangerous as Mr. Huang said."

"The city guards who are behind Mr. Ji will probably send the city guards to act together after they go out."

"Although the city guard is strong, the masters need to guard Wuling City. We cannot send too many masters to search and suppress the villages and towns outside the city, so we need help from the sect disciples like me."

"And after we pass, it will be no problem to cooperate with the army's formation and reluctantly delay the disembarkation of the powerful warriors."

"With the protection of the military formation, there won't be much danger."

Deng Rou said.

This time is also a good experience for them.

With the help of the military formation, it is a good experience to be able to fight against the demon warriors at the Huajin level in person.

There must be many warriors, and I wish I could meet a few demon warriors outside the city and practice with them.

You don't need to think about it to know that Luo Manghan must be one of them.

"I'm not going."

"I just joined the Wuji Sect and need to change my training methods. Time is a bit tight." Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

Although he has cultivated the Bitao Boundless True Skill to the fourth level of perfection, he is still far behind in terms of physical transformation and improvement.

If you want to cultivate the Infinite Blue Sea Body when you advance to the Marrow Training Realm, you need to continue soaking in the waterfall and deep pool for a period of time.

Many warriors wanted to respond to the mobilization of Ji Wei City.

At Lin Zheyu's table, only Wei Dongguang and Deng An planned to participate in this event, and the others were not going.

Time passed slowly.

This banquet was quite lively. Ji Weicheng prepared a number of programs, and Lin Zheyu watched them with great interest.

In the Wuji Sect, I have been practicing hard for several months, and now it is good to come out and relax.

Soon, the song and dance performance ended, and then the martial arts competition began.

For martial artists, martial arts competition is essential at every gathering.

"Uncle Junior Master, hurry up. That guy Heng Qiming won't go up unless someone invites him to fight." Huang Youwei said quickly.

He turned his head and looked at Heng Qiming, with a proud smile on his face.

"What's the grudge between you and him? That man doesn't look like he's going to cause trouble." Lin Zheyu glanced at Heng Qiming not far away and asked curiously.

Heng Qiming sat in his seat, looking taciturn, just listening to the chats of his companions and rarely interrupting.

"Pfft..."

"Hahaha……"

When Deng An, Wei Dongguang, and Xu Kaien heard this, they all couldn't help laughing.

Lin Zheyu found this reaction quite interesting.

"What are you laughing laughing!"

"Don't even say it, you have sworn an oath!"

Huang Youwei's eyes widened and he said with a straight face.

"You're not allowed to laugh yet?"

"Yeah, we just laughed and didn't say anything." Xu Kaien and others said with a smile.

Seeing the looks of these people, Lin Zheyu suddenly understood.

It must be because of Heng Qiming that something embarrassing happened to Huang Youwei, which makes him hold a grudge to this day.

"Isn't it just some trivial things? Is it necessary to hold grudges?" Deng An said with a smile.

"How could it be a trivial matter!"

"If I put it on you, you might be more ruthless than me." Huang Youwei retorted.

"Uncle Junior, I don't want to talk about this."

"You promised me back then, and you can't go back on it." Huang Youwei was worried that Lin Zheyu would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I would regret it."

"If you don't say anything, it's fine."

"I have been practicing for so long, and I am also curious about what level of strength I have reached now." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

After practicing the Bitao Infinite True Skill and the Powerful Vajra Fist, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Previously, he had practiced ordinary martial arts techniques, which were able to burst out with powerful combat effectiveness, mainly relying on the blessing of energy and blood bursting techniques.

He took advantage of the characteristics of source power to make the energy and blood burst technique, which could only be used a few times, become a method that could be used daily.

But this also led to his lack of staying power.

After joining the Wuji Sect, he practiced the Bitao Infinite True Skill and the Powerful Vajra Fist, which made up for his shortcomings in this area.

In addition, after the Qi and blood reached the fifteenth transformation, not only the golden Qi and blood in the body increased to an astonishing level of nearly half.

Even the physical body has been horribly improved by the tempering of the increasingly powerful Qi and blood.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Zheyu asked curiously: "By the way, is this Heng Qiming on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"Yeah, there is."

"However, his ranking is relatively low. He almost broke into the top ninety some time ago. After the group of monks from the Western Regions appeared, he has now become the goalkeeper of the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

Huang Youwei said with a smile.

There is some gloating about Heng Qiming becoming the goalkeeper of the Qianlong List.

If Heng Qiming is defeated by Master Lin again, he will fall off the Hidden Dragon Ranking, which is really satisfying.

Deng An originally wanted to compete with Lin Zheyu.

After learning that Lin Zheyu was going to fight Heng Qiming, he immediately suppressed this idea.

Thinking of the scene where the two were about to fight, he couldn't wait.

He was extremely curious about Lin Zheyu, who had been admitted by Wuji Sect as a true disciple.

Curious about how evil the other party must be.

"That's just right. After I defeat him, I can experience the feeling of being on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

"Let's see if, as you said, it can promote martial arts practice."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

After seeing the battle on the martial arts arena ended, he stood up and jumped lightly to the stage.
