Chapter 166 The Real Deal Has Arrived

"Senior Yu, how is it?"

"Should we follow them and take a look?"

Yu Leju looked toward the sky and said in a deep voice:

"There might be a battle between Supreme Grandmasters happening up ahead."

"Look! The fluctuations of the Origin Qi in the distance are abnormal. To be felt from this far away, it must be at the Mountain Shaking Realm level."

"Since we've encountered something like this, naturally we must join in the excitement!"

"Alright!"

Zheng Wan smiled brightly, then suddenly added:

"Wait a moment, I'll bring She Manman along!"

Currently, Cangzhou Prefecture has gathered many outsiders from the Jianghu; it's a mixed bag, and there is no shortage of experts.

Along the way here, they had already discovered many powerful individuals with profound auras.

Although they were not on par with the two of them, they could not be underestimated.

Naturally, she needed to keep She Manman close to protect her.

The Southern Sky Sword Elder looked toward the ship's cabin behind him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Very well, then this old man shall bring that good-for-nothing from the Sword Palace along as well!"

To tell the truth, deep down he felt that it would be better if Ma Jiangbo were dead; he was a disgrace to his Sword Palace!

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the great river, terrifying True Qi shook the heavens and earth, the clouds in the sky shifted, and wild winds raged.

Waves tens of meters high exploded continuously. Two figures, impossible to see clearly, crossed paths on the river surface, each move and strike emitting a booming sound like a great bell.

However, the two were evenly matched in strength, and for the time being, neither could do anything to the other.

Screech!

At this moment, a screech was heard from afar, and a black shadow, carrying boundless wild winds, landed on the shore.

"Hahahaha! Meng Feixing, I let you escape with your life a few days ago by luck, but today, this old man will take your head!"

"Ji Guiying?!!"

Meng Feixing, in the midst of the struggle, spoke in a low voice. After clashing head-on with Tong Zhiyuan once more, he retreated, and the two stood in a standoff.

"Hahaha! So it really is Governor Tong. This Ji offers his greetings!"

Ji Guiying stood on a reef and cupped his hands at Tong Zhiyuan from a distance.

Tong Zhiyuan returned the gesture and said:

"I didn't expect to see Brother Ji here!"

Ji Guiying chuckled and said:

"It seems Meng Feixing has offended Governor Tong. Why don't you and I join forces and finish this guy off?"

"I heard the Changle Gang has been flirting with the rebel army recently. Killing him would be removing a scourge for the imperial court!"

"Baldy Ji! Don't you go spitting blood!"

Meng Feixing's tone was cold and harsh.

"Your First Uprising Gang shouts loud slogans, but in reality, you are full of depravity and petty schemes."

"Who doesn't know that you, Baldy Ji, Cultivate by relying on rotting corpses and go around digging up graves? You even formed a grave-robbing squad to dig up fresh graves for you."

"You're courting death!"

Ji Guiying was filled with Killing Intent.

Not to mention the feud between the Changle Gang and the First Uprising Gang, he personally hated it most when others called him a baldy or accused him of grave robbing.

Rubbing his bald head, Ji Guiying cultivated the Corruption Demon Arts, and it was because of the corruption poison that he had become bald.

And this effect, even though he had already become a Supreme Grandmaster, could not be eradicated.

Thinking back to those years, he was also a handsome young man in the surrounding villages...

Tong Zhiyuan looked at the two of them and took a step back, saying:

"I do not intend to get involved in your feud!"

"As long as Brother Meng agrees not to trouble Yan Chu anymore, I will leave right now!"

Meng Feixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said:

"I promise not to move against him before his battle with Sima Tao!"

Tong Zhiyuan thought for a moment and slowly nodded:

"Very well! It's a deal!"

In any case, the battle between Yan Chu and Sima Tao was already unavoidable, and it was Yan Chu who had issued the challenge himself.

This matter was the focus of the Jianghu.

If Yan Chu avoided the battle, his reputation in the Jianghu would inevitably diminish, and he would be despised by others.

If he could survive the battle with Sima Tao, it would mean he possessed the strength to rival a Supreme Grandmaster, so his safety would naturally not be something he needed to worry about.

If he could not survive, then it didn't matter whether he managed it or not.

Yan Chu?

Meng Feixing wants to make a move against Yan Chu?

Ji Guiying, watching coldly from a distance, heard the two's conversation, and couldn't help but think of Sima Yutang's request.

To help him test Yan Chu's strength.

However, dealing with Meng Feixing right now was the most important thing.

He immediately said:

"Governor Tong, why let him leave?"

"If we kill him, we can weaken the Changle Gang's strength and prevent the rebel army from having one more Supreme Grandmaster in the future!"

Tong Zhiyuan chuckled.

Not to mention whether the two of them could kill Meng Feixing.

After all, once one achieves the rank of Supreme Grandmaster, both their combat power and survival means are extraordinary; defeating them is possible, but killing them is extremely difficult.

Even if he killed Meng Feixing, there would be no benefit to him at all.

Why should he waste effort for no reward?

Just as Tong Zhiyuan was about to refuse, he suddenly looked into the distance.

He saw a shocking sword light streak across the sky and appear above the Yang River.

It was a Flying Sword, and standing on the sword was a withered and gaunt old man, who was also holding a man in his thirties upside down by his feet.

At this moment, the man's face was deathly pale.

It must have been that the Flying Sword was too fast, and he hadn't reacted in time.

Behind the old man, a voluptuous and infinitely charming woman walked across the river water, holding the hand of a delicate and beautiful young girl dressed in a purple gauze skirt.

"Eh? Why did you stop fighting?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zheng Wan's eyes.

Just a moment ago, there were huge battle fluctuations, and scattered True Qi and Fist Intent still lingered in the air.

Yet when they arrived, they only saw a few people in a standoff, with no one fighting?

"Is the one who has come the Senior Yu from the Hidden Sword Palace?"

Ji Guiying, on the reef, recognized the Southern Sky Sword Elder on the Flying Sword.

Although their Realm was the same now.

But the Southern Sky Sword Elder had debuted early and had high seniority in the Jianghu; when he was traveling the Jianghu, these people were only Great Grandmasters.

"Hehe! It is indeed this old man!"

Yu Leju smiled, stroked his long beard, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, it has been decades; I didn't expect you to still recognize this old man."

It's the Southern Sky Sword Elder of the Hidden Sword Palace?

Now, even though Tong Zhiyuan and Meng Feixing had not met the other party, they guessed the old man's identity.

At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart could be heard continuously from the riverbank.

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes appeared first, leaping to land beside Ji Guiying.

Then Zhao Jiyao, in a snow-white long robe, also appeared on the shore and leapt to appear beside Tong Zhiyuan, beautiful and peerless, and difficult to distinguish as male or female.

She Manman, who was being held by the hand by Zheng Wan, couldn't help but let her beautiful eyes light up the moment she saw Zhao Jiyao.

The two Grandmasters of the Changle Gang, Yun Tao and Jiang Ming, also appeared behind Meng Feixing.

Following the arrival of these few Grandmasters, there was a rustling in the woods along the shore, and many unfamiliar faces appeared as well.

They were all Jianghu travelers from other prefectures who had recently flooded into Tianshui Prefecture.

Those who dared to chase here were all Grandmaster experts.

A rough look showed there were no fewer than twenty of them.

They had followed the tracks of Zhao Jiyao and the others, precisely to observe the battle between Supreme Grandmasters.

Yet looking over now, they discovered several unfathomable figures on the river, but the scene was eerily calm, and no one was fighting at all.

What is the meaning of this?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, somewhat puzzled.

"Ah! It's so lively here!"

Suddenly, a crisp and naive voice rang out in the sky, and everyone instinctively looked up.

They saw a tall young man in black slowly descending from mid-air.

A beautiful young woman in a goose-yellow dress was clinging tightly to his embrace.
