After hearing Su Chen's words, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and regret.
Lin Chaoying's affection for Wang Chongyang was so profound that it was unbelievable, deeply moving everyone present.
Even though Wang Chongyang hurt her so many times, her heart remained unchanged, and she wrote that love letter full of affection.
Imagine how difficult it must have been for someone as proud as Lin Chaoying to make such a decision.
Despite her pride and arrogance, Lin Chaoying's display of deep affection truly stunned everyone.
Looking at Wang Chongyang from another angle, it's even harder for people to accept.
He was a hero who resisted the Jin dynasty and the founder of the Quanzhen School of Taoism; people in the martial arts world admired him for these achievements.
But because of his pride, he rejected Lin Chaoying time and time again, and in the end, because of his so-called dignity, he betrayed Lin Chaoying's sincere heart.
If no one explains, who will know about Lin Chaoying's deep affection?
Chapter 137 is even higher.
The hall erupted in chaos:
"Absolutely amazing! Lin Chaoying is so talented. Her self-created 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' and 'Jade Maiden Sword Technique' appear to be designed to counter the Quanzhen Sect, but in reality, they are contributing to the Quanzhen Sect's growth. She is truly a genius!"
"I heard that Lin Chaoying was one of the favorites in the Mount Hua Sword Tournament back then. Now it seems that her martial arts talent is really good, no less than the Five Greats."
"Alas! I have always respected Wang Chongyang, but he was too competitive, which harmed both others and himself. He was too cruel to Lin Chaoying."
"Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying fought for a lifetime, but Wang Chongyang always lost to Lin Chaoying, which shows that Lin Chaoying's intelligence was truly remarkable."
"If I hadn't listened to the analysis of the Celestial Mystery Immortal, I really wouldn't have known that there were such touching love letters in the world. Lin Chaoying is truly an amazing woman."
"It's a pity that Lin Chaoying was too fixated on one thing. If she had focused all her energy on martial arts, her achievements would definitely be even greater than those of the Five Greats."
Inside the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he sighed: "This is the most special and beautiful love letter I have ever heard. I reckon only Lin Chaoying could have thought of it and written it."
"What Lin Chaoying longed for day and night was probably to be able to dance with Wang Chongyang, but unfortunately this wish was never fulfilled."
Hua Manlou also sighed.
"Fortunately, Wang Chongyang is still alive, and fortunately, the Celestial Immortal was willing to step forward and reveal these secrets."
"Although it arrived a little late, Wang Chongyang finally received the love letter."
"Lin Chaoying can finally rest in peace in the afterlife."
Xie Xiaofeng said softly.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room nodded in agreement.
The secret that Su Chen told was just gossip to everyone.
But for Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying, it was of great significance.
If Wang Chongyang died without ever knowing that Lin Chaoying had written this letter, then Lin Chaoying's sacrifices would be truly heartbreaking.
At least, this can be considered a result.
Su Chen sensed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive, so he didn't rush to express his opinion and leisurely sipped his tea.
Only after the murmurs subsided did he put down his teacup, open his folding fan, and speak slowly and deliberately:
"Next, let's talk about the next expert to make the list."
"Ninth on the list of champions, Xiao Qiushui."
"This expert is probably familiar to everyone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty."
"He was famous in the martial arts world for his integrity, helpfulness, and was known as the 'Hero of China'."
"Xiao Qiushui comes from the Huanhua Sword Sect and is the third son of the sect leader, Xiao Xilou."
"His life was simply legendary."
"He was born to practice swordsmanship. By the age of ten, he had mastered the swordsmanship of the Huanhua Sword School. Later, he created the 'Heaven-Shaking Sword' and the 'Four Great Ultimate Techniques of the World,' which contain the essence of speed, slowness, offense, and defense. He became a god with one sword."
"However, what truly brought his swordsmanship to its pinnacle was the magical martial art, the 'Book of Oblivion'."
"This skill can be considered an exception. It is not the path of cultivating immortality, but it also transcends the scope of martial arts."
"It has no fixed moves, only the principles of nature. Once you understand them, you can master the power of nature."
"Although Xiao Qiushui has not fully comprehended it, he has already grasped the basics. By integrating the Way of Nature into his swordsmanship, his swordsmanship has become impeccable."
"His cultivation has now reached the peak of the Divine Travel Mystic Realm."
"If one continues to comprehend the 'Book of Forgetfulness,' it is not impossible to break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal."
"Therefore, based on comprehensive evaluation, it is temporarily ranked ninth on the list of the most outstanding in the Song Dynasty."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
Xiao Qiushui, a legendary hero of the land, is a top master in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.
Although he wasn't of high seniority, he had consumed three Limitless Immortal Pills, giving him at least a century's worth of internal energy, making him inferior to the elders of various sects.
As for his swordsmanship, there's no need to even mention it.
Back then, the Blood River Sect was so arrogant that no one in the entire Song Dynasty martial arts world could control them. In the end, however, Xiao Qiushui single-handedly slaughtered them all with her sword, severely injuring the Blood River Sect leader, Wei Beihui, and saving the Song Dynasty martial arts world from a great calamity.
There was also the Heavenly Thunder Elder, who had been rampant and domineering for many years, defeating countless masters with his "Heavenly Thunder Style" and claiming to be invincible, but he was ultimately killed by Xiao Qiushui with a single sword strike.
Not to mention the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, even looking at the whole world, Xiao Qiushui is a well-known figure.
However, his inclusion on the list this time still surprised many people.
The reason is simple: Xiao Qiushui has been missing for ten years, and rumors in the martial arts world say that he has died from qi deviation.
If someone had said before that Xiao Qiushui was still alive, everyone would have been shocked.
But now, having heard so many stories of people faking their deaths to deceive others, the people of the Song Dynasty's martial arts world have become more accepting of the fact that Xiao Qiushui is still alive.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"What? Xiao Qiushui is ranked ninth on the Song Dynasty's list of most outstanding people? I thought he was long dead."
"Haha, I knew it. With Xiao Qiushui's strength and age, how could she possibly die so young?"
"This is a good thing. Back then, Xiao Qiushui defeated countless demons and monsters in the martial arts world, helping to maintain peace in the martial arts world."
"The Book of Oblivion is truly amazing. It can actually allow people to control the power of nature. Xiao Qiushui is so lucky to have obtained such a skill. It's like her ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
"I understand! Master Xiao has been in seclusion for ten years, he must be comprehending the 'Book of Forgetfulness'. When he comes out, he will be a true immortal on land."
"So, does this mean our Great Song Dynasty's martial arts world is about to produce its second land-based sword immortal?"
"I never expected that someone like Xiao Qiushui could only be ranked ninth on the list of the most outstanding people. The Jianghu of the Song Dynasty is truly full of hidden talents."
Inside the seventh private room on the east side of the thirteenth floor.
Linghu Chong exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that there was such a magical martial art as the 'Book of Forgetfulness,' which contains the principles of nature and is somewhat similar to Lang Fanyun's approach of taking heaven and earth as his teachers."
A glint flashed in Dugu Qiubai's eyes, and he also developed a strong interest in Xiao Qiushui.
Both are swordsmen in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty, and Xiao Qiushui also possesses the extraordinary martial arts technique, "The Book of Forgetfulness".
This made Dugu Qiubai very eager to see his strength for himself.
After a while, he looked at Baiyutai again, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Xiao Qiushui, ranked ninth on the Song Dynasty's list of top talents, has already reached the peak of the Divine Travel Mystic Realm.
He shouldn't be far from breaking through to a higher level.
He didn't care where he ranked; he just wanted to know who was stronger than him in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that no one asked any questions, Su Chen didn't linger and said directly:
"Next, let's talk about the next expert to make the list."
"Ranked eighth on the list of unparalleled masters, Yan Kuangtu."
"You heard right, Yan Kuangtu is indeed still alive."
Thirty years ago, he acted recklessly in the martial arts world, and his reputation spread far and wide. Everyone knew him, and even the major dynasties had heard of his name.
Chapter 138 Revenge
"Some call him the number one madman of the Song Dynasty, some call him the number one eccentric of the Song Dynasty, and some call him the number one demon of the Song Dynasty."
"No matter what you call him, he can't escape the title of 'first,' he's far ahead of the second place."
"His martial arts talent goes without saying; he is a genius that comes along only once in a century. He can understand any martial art at a glance and master it after just one lesson."
"He started practicing martial arts at the age of four, reached the Vajra Realm at the age of six, and by the age of ten, he had mastered all the martial arts he had ever seen and even created many unique skills."
"What's most admirable is his extraordinary courage and imposing presence. Even when facing stronger opponents, he can still overpower them."
"That's why Yan Kuangtu has never failed in his adventures in the martial arts world. After he founded the Power Gang, he made other sects unable to hold their heads up."
“Yan Kuangtu is neither a member of the demonic path nor a follower of the righteous path.”
"Because he does things entirely according to his own will, he is a capricious and madman."
“In the past, when he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, he would search everywhere for the unique skills of various sects in order to break through, hoping to find inspiration from them.”
"At that time, all the martial arts sects in the Song Dynasty suffered. Even the ancient Shaolin Temple, which has a history of thousands of years, was robbed by him. No one could stop him."
"Therefore, the martial arts sects of the Song Dynasty all regarded him as an enemy, but they were also afraid of his strength and dared not speak out against him."
"Until the Limitless Immortal Pill fell into the hands of the martial arts world."
"This kind of pill is a secret recipe from the Song Dynasty imperial palace. One pill can increase one's internal strength by thirty years. As soon as the news spread, the martial arts world was shocked."
"Yan Kuangtu, relying on his powerful strength, forcibly seized all the Limitless Immortal Pills, which aroused public outrage in the martial arts world."
"Furthermore, Li Chenzhou betrayed him, bringing with him the experts from the Power Gang."
"A conspiracy against Yan Kuangtu has begun."
"Immediately afterwards, the Battle of Wuyi Mountain, which shocked the world, broke out."
"In that great battle, almost all the renowned masters in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty were mobilized, all in an effort to eliminate Yan Kuangtu in one fell swoop."
