Chapter 327: Chapter 203: Li Changsheng Arrives! The Whole City is Shocked! [2-in-1]_2
The old woman in black nodded with a smile, then cleared her throat and said:
"Jianping, Qingqing, this is Young Master Tang Long, not only handsome but also exceptionally talented. It’s only been a few months since his coming of age, and his cultivation has already reached the Peak of Divine Travel.
Young Master Tang’s Tang Family is one of the great families of our Southern State, not far from the Longevity Family; they have always maintained a friendly relationship with our Nanping Sword Sect."
Muu Jianping and Xu Qingqing politely nodded and greeted.
Perhaps due to hearing too many stories about Chen Zhixing, the two felt that being at the Peak of Divine Travel at the age of twenty was not particularly praiseworthy.
Tang Long quickly acted humble, waving his hand with a smile and said:
"Not at all, not at all. The Longevity Families have beings at the Great Longevity Realm, and not only do they have Clan Guardian Longevity Soldiers, but they also have a Peak Ancestor. Our Tang family only has two in the Nirvana Realm, still far from the Longevity Family."
As soon as these words fell.
The old woman in black exclaimed in astonishment: "Two in the Nirvana Realm? Has the Tang Family gained another Nirvana Realm?"
Tang Long, seeing his goal achieved, glanced subtly at Muu Jianping and Xu Qingqing, then laughed and said: "Yes, not long ago, my second great uncle finally crossed the Nirvana Great Tribulation and entered the Nirvana Realm."
"This is... truly something to celebrate!"
The old woman in black showed envy and said:
"The gap between our Nanping Sword Sect and the Tang Family is widening."
"Senior Long, let’s not say such things! It’s good for everyone when the relationships between these great families are friendly."
Tang Long humbly said, then looked past the old woman in black towards Muu Jianping and Xu Qingqing behind her.
"Fellow junior sisters, you must be here to spectate, right?"
"That’s right, we wanted to follow our master to broaden our horizons." Muu Jianping smiled and nodded, her demeanor graceful and calm.
"Then you’ve found the right person!"
With a ’swaa’ sound, Tang Long opened the folding fan in his hand, lowered his voice, and said:
"To be frank with the two junior sisters, my Tang family is actually quite connected with the Ziwei Chen Family. In fact, I had a friendship with Third Young Master Chen Zhixing in our youth!"
"When the battle between the Third Young Master and Li Changsheng starts, I can take you to watch from the front!"
With these words.
Muu Jianping and Xu Qingqing exchanged glances, their eyes showing incredulity.
"Is it true? You actually know the Third Young Master?" Xu Qingqing covered her mouth, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Is Young Master Tang really telling the truth?" Muu Jianping slightly raised her delicate eyebrows, somewhat skeptical.
Despite what their own master said about how impressive the Tang Family might be, supposedly approaching the level of the Longevity Family.
In reality, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.
The Ziwei Chen Family with just that old servant Elder Nether could likely wipe out the entire Tang family effortlessly!
And yet this Young Master Tang says the Tang family has secret connections with the Ziwei Chen Family?
This Young Master Tang also claims to have childhood connections with the Third Young Master Chen Zhixing, who stands at the pinnacle of status with the backing of two top Taoist lineages?
"Of course. My family’s old ancestor once was friends fighting side by side with Raptor Tiger Chen Daoyan. Our ancestor took me to visit the Ziwei Chen Family, so I got to know the Third Young Master."
Tang Long smiled slightly, showing no sign of deception when faced with Muu Jianping’s doubts.
"What kind of figure is the Third Young Master?"
He broke all myths of ancient and modern times, known as the unprecedented and unparalleled, the first heavenly prodigy unrivaled in history, sought after by the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages!
His status is extremely esteemed!
Naturally, he would not believe that people like Muu Jianping would be able to find the Third Young Master to verify this?
"Now that the Third Young Master is rising, the entire Ziwei Chen Family is likely among the foremost powers of the present age, second only to the Immortal Tao Lineages... Who would have thought the Tang Family still had such a connection, the Tang Family is likely to rise alongside it as well."
The old woman in black sighed repeatedly.
Xu Qingqing’s eyes sparkled brightly, her face full of innocent delight: "Young Master Tang, could you introduce the Third Young Master to us? My sister and I have admired him for a long time!"
"Hahaha, that can certainly be arranged, but for now the Third Young Master is focused on preparing for battle and is probably too busy. After this battle, I’ll introduce you to him."
Tang Long laughed heartily, casually making light of the matter.
After this battle ends?
By the time this battle ends, wouldn’t he have already won over this pair of exquisite sisters?
Tang Long chuckled inwardly.
"Alright, let’s go, let’s go, today it’s my treat, let’s all have a seat at the Drunken Immortal Tower."
The group gradually departed.
Only Muu Jianping slightly furrowed her brows, feeling something was not quite right.
As she pondered, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a figure in a black long garment disembarking from the other side of the large ship, followed by a crowd of mysterious figures drifting away with him.
"Huh? Could that be... that person from the ship?"
Muu Jianping muttered in surprise, wanting to take a closer look, but the person had already left.
"I must have been seeing things."
Muu Jianping shook her head and hurriedly caught up after hearing her master’s constant urging from ahead.
...
...
On the other side.
In a secluded alley behind the dock.
"Third Young Master!"
"We pay our respects to the Third Young Master."
The Netherworld Elders stood at the forefront, bowing to Chen Zhixing.
Behind them, dozens of Dark Division members and ten elders of the True Self Peak simultaneously spoke respectfully, half-kneeling with a clatter.
"No need for formalities."
Chen Zhixing nodded slightly, his appearance gradually changing until it settled into his real visage.
"How are the preparations?" Chen Zhixing asked calmly.
The Netherworld Elders glanced to the side before whispering:
"Third Young Master, Li Changsheng is currently preparing to depart for the East Sea, and he is under our constant surveillance."
"As for the Sikong family, they did indeed arrive at the East Sea early on, but have yet to deploy any means. It seems they intended to, but were halted by Li Changsheng."
At this point.
The Netherworld Elders paused and then looked at an elderly man in a broad array-patterned Taoist robe standing beside the Dark Division. They continued:
"Third Young Master, this is Master Tian Yezi, the foremost figure in the array Tao today. We’ve requested him to conduct a thorough inspection to ensure there are no surprises in the battlefield this time!"
"He will also participate and observe this battle to ensure the Sikong family doesn’t act secretly!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing turned to the robed elder and smiled slightly, saying:
"So it’s Master Tian Yezi in person; the younger generation has admired you for a long time. I’m grateful for your help in this matter."
"No need for such words, Third Young Master; it is indeed I who should have been admiring your renowned name."
Tian Yezi chuckled heartily while stroking his beard.
"The Patriarch Chen once saved my life, and now assisting with this small matter is nothing worth mentioning."
"Third Young Master can rest assured that with me here, no one will be able to secretly influence the outcome of this battle!"
"Thank you." Chen Zhixing nodded with a smile, then looked towards the boundless sky, softly saying:
"Keep a close watch."
"I will not allow any existence to interfere with the result of this battle!"
"Yes, sir!!!"
The members of the Dark Division and the Netherworld Elders responded thunderously.
Moments later.
Chen Zhixing, who had once again assumed a plain and unremarkable appearance, walked alone out from the other side of the alley.
One shadow after another rapidly shot out from behind him, hiding in various corners of Fubo City.
Today’s sunlight was somewhat glaring.
Walking alone out of the alley, Chen Zhixing raised his hand to shield his eyes, smiling as he muttered to himself:
"Li Changsheng, let’s see."
"In this battle between you and me, who lives and who dies."
Boom—!
A surge of battle intent flashed through Chen Zhixing’s eyes.
...
...
Time slowly passed.
As the date of Chen Zhixing and Li Changsheng’s duel approached.
Almost every day, numerous cultivators arrived from all directions, flocking to Fubo City.
Fubo City, the largest city in the East Sea region, became increasingly crowded due to the influx of cultivators.
And when emissaries from the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages arrived in Fubo City, it ignited the atmosphere, pushing it to a climax!
Every corner of Fubo City was filled with fierce discussions about the spectacular battle between Chen Zhixing and Li Changsheng!
The Celestial Secret Tower’s gambling den in Fubo City was exceedingly popular, with people placing bets day and night.
Some cultivators wagered their entire fortune, hoping to earn a fortune and completely turn their fortunes around with this battle!
On the fifth day before Chen Zhixing and Li Changsheng’s scheduled duel.
At dawn.
A golden carriage, drawn by nine True Dragons, slowly traversed the sky, shattering clouds as it approached and stopped on the sea outside Fubo City.
At that instant.
The whole city trembled, boiling over with excitement!
The Sikong family and Li Changsheng... have arrived!!!
