"The conflict between the Buddhist and demonic factions in the Great Sui Dynasty is intensifying. I wonder if Song Que will intervene, and which side he will take?"
Inside the first private room on the fourteenth floor, on the side of Bei.
Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi exchanged a glance, both seeing embarrassment in each other's eyes.
They were originally quite proud that Song Que was able to make it onto the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking.
Unexpectedly, I soon overheard my father gossiping.
Her own father had always secretly loved the current head of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui.
This is absolutely groundbreaking news.
They could imagine the sensation this news would cause in the martial arts world and the Lingnan Prince's Mansion once it reached the Sui Dynasty.
At least the two of them were completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Song Que's feelings were also very complicated.
Su Chen's words made him involuntarily recall bits and pieces of the past, and dormant memories suddenly surged into his mind, catching him somewhat off guard.
However, Song Que had been away from his sword for over twenty years, and his resolve was even stronger than before. He quickly regained his composure.
If it were now, he would never withdraw his troops just because of Fan Qinghui's words.
Compared to this matter, he was more concerned about something else.
He has already mastered the strongest ninth strike, so how come he is only ranked tenth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking?
This was a huge blow to him, and he was very indignant. He immediately looked up at Bai Yutai.
He wanted to see just how powerful those nine people who were stronger than him really were.
Su Chen took a sip of tea and waited until everyone had finished discussing before slowly speaking:
"Next, let's comment on the next Sword Immortal on the list."
"Ninth on the list of Sword Immortals, Nie Renwang."
"This person is also a renowned swordsman in the martial arts world."
Chapter 77 Still Alive
Thirty years ago, he swept through the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty with his Snow Drinking Blade, earning him the nickname "The Mad Blade of Beiyin".
"Especially his background, which made him the focus of attention from the very beginning of his career."
"Because he was born into the Nie family, a family of martial arts masters, and inherited the Snow Drinking Saber and the Six Secrets of Frostbite passed down through generations of the Nie family."
"In fact, whether it is swordsmanship or cultivation level, Nie Renwang is slightly inferior to Song Que."
"However, his family's sword technique, the Six Secrets of Frost, is indeed extraordinary, much stronger than Song Que's self-created Eight Styles of Heavenly Blade."
"This sword technique was created by Nie Ying, the ancestor of the Nie family. It uses cold air to congeal the blood and guard the secrets of heaven. The sword is drawn from the sleeve and strikes unexpectedly. Ice and snow melt away without a trace, and the mind is as calm as water while the body is as breezy as a tumbleweed."
"The first move is called A Glimpse of Startling Cold, the second move is Three Feet of Ice, the third move is Red Apricot Over the Wall, the fourth move is Peach Blossom, the fifth move is Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow, and the sixth move is Cold Blade and Ice Heart."
"Unfortunately, due to various reasons, only five forms of this sword technique have been passed down, and the most powerful sixth form has been lost."
"Even so, with just this incomplete 'Six Secrets of Frost', Nie Renwang's strength far surpasses that of Song Que."
"If you add the Snow Drinking Blade, it will be enough to compete with those top masters who have reached the Divine Travel Realm."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, we will temporarily rank him ninth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos once again.
Nie Renwang, the Madman of Beiyin!
This is a very famous person, even more famous than Song Que, who rarely appears in the martial arts world.
Especially in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, almost everyone knows the name of Nie Renwang.
Firstly, because he was known as the Mad Saber of Beiyin, and was once as famous as Duan Shuai, the Sword Master of Nanlin, and were two legends after the martial arts myth.
Secondly, it was because he married Yan Ying, who was considered the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world at the time.
Back then, Yan Ying was unparalleled in beauty in the martial arts world, captivating countless young talents.
After hearing that she married Nie Renwang, countless people in the martial arts world were heartbroken, filled with jealousy and hatred.
If it weren't for Nie Renwang's exceptional strength, he would probably have been attacked and killed by a group of experts long ago.
Even so, the heroes of the Han Dynasty were still quite shocked to see Nie Renwang on the list.
It wasn't because they felt Nie Renwang wasn't strong enough, but because in their memory, Nie Renwang had already died in a decisive battle with Duan Shuai twenty years ago.
That great battle once shook the entire martial arts world. The two top masters perished together, leaving countless people sighing with regret.
However, the Celestial Immortal says that Nie Renwang is ranked ninth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking.
Doesn't this mean that Nie Renwang is still alive?
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed disbelief, and they began to whisper among themselves:
"Did I hear that right? The ninth place on the Nine Provinces Blade Immortal Ranking is actually Nie Renwang, the Mad Blade of Beiyin?"
"Nie Renwang was indeed a ruthless character in the past. His Snow Drinking Saber defeated countless martial arts masters, but wasn't he long gone?"
"What? The Nie family's 'Six Secrets of Frost' is actually this powerful? Even the incomplete version is stronger than Song Que's 'Eight Forms of Heavenly Blade'?"
"I never imagined that the Nie family's 'Six Secrets of Frostbite' was incomplete. If it's already this powerful, what would it be like if it were complete?"
"What's going on? Didn't the rumors say that Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai fell off a cliff together after their duel? Could the rumors be wrong?"
In the third private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Xiong Ba's eyes widened: "What? Nie Renwang is still alive? This... how is that possible?"
He personally witnessed Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai fall off the cliff together.
Nie Feng, his face filled with excitement, rushed out of the private room and shouted:
"Nie Feng of the World Alliance greets the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
"I witnessed my father and Duan Shuai, the leader of the Southern Lin Sword Sect, falling off a cliff together. Could he still be alive?"
"I am willing to wager the Nie family's ancestral sword technique, the Six Secrets of Frost and Cold, in exchange for the Celestial Immortal revealing all its secrets."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall echoed his sentiments.
They were also eager to know the truth.
If Nie Renwang did not die after falling off the cliff, then why has he been missing for the past twenty years and never even seen his own son?
That wouldn't be right either, otherwise how could he be on the list?
As they pondered, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to give his answer.
A glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes; he had been waiting for Nie Feng for a long time.
As one of the two main protagonists in the Fengyun series, Nie Feng's luck is bound to be good, and his rewards will certainly be quite substantial.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen immediately accessed the system to check Nie Feng's information.
The system quickly responded:
"Successfully told Nie Feng's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the supreme Buddhist skill, 'Great Brahma Prajna'..."
Su Chen was overjoyed, never expecting to obtain a Buddhist secret manual.
Although he had already cultivated the Taoist "Taiji Xuanqing Dao", which true master doesn't learn from the strengths of many schools of thought?
The Great Brahma Prajnaparamita can also be used as a primary practice method; it should be studied carefully.
But now is not the time to ponder this carefully. Su Chen cleared his throat lightly and said loudly:
"The decisive battle between Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai is known to everyone in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty."
"But few people know the real cause of this decisive battle."
"It all started with Nie Renwang's retirement."
"Thinking back to thirty years ago, Nie Renwang had already made an invincible name in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, and had also married Yan Ying, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. He could be said to be enjoying boundless glory."
"But at the peak of his career, he suddenly announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and disappeared without a trace."
"This matter caused a great uproar in the martial arts world, and there was much discussion about it."
Many people speculate that Nie Renwang felt sorry for his wife and did not want to fight anymore, so he chose to retire to the mountains and live a peaceful life.
"That's not actually the case."
"The real reason for Nie Renwang's retirement was because of a 'blood madness' that had been passed down through generations of the Nie family."
"The Nie family members all have a kind of 'mad blood' in their bodies. Once they get emotional, it will take effect and make them lose their minds."
"Especially the higher the cultivation level, the more terrifying this disease becomes when it flares up, and in severe cases it can even lead to qi deviation and demonic possession."
"At that time, Nie Renwang could no longer control his madness, so he chose to leave the martial arts world and live a simple life to suppress his condition."
"But this is not what Yan Ying wants."
"She is a woman who greatly admires the strong and only wants to follow the most powerful people and enjoy the awe of others."
"So after ten years of seclusion, she couldn't stand the mundane life and left without saying goodbye, seeking refuge with a powerful figure in the martial arts world."
"This person is none other than Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Society."
"When Nie Renwang learned of this, he was furious and returned to the mountain to challenge Duan Shuai, the leader of the Southern Lin Sword."
"He wanted to prove himself with his abilities and win Yan Ying back."
"But what he didn't expect was that on the day of the decisive battle, a devastating flood washed away the Leshan Giant Buddha and swept Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai off the cliff."
Yan Ying watched from the side, feeling extremely guilty, and then jumped down as well.
"You witnessed all of this with your own eyes and thought that Nie Renwang and Yan Ying were no longer alive."
"But in reality, your parents are still alive."
Inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, a commotion erupted among the crowd.
When Nie Renwang suddenly retired at the peak of his career, it caused a great deal of discussion in the martial arts world.
