"Because this was originally a deliberate arrangement by the mountain lord."
"The mountain lord's training method for Luo Ying is to destroy Luo Ying's body and then reconstruct it."
"Only in this way can Luo Ying master the skill of 'ghostly coffin support'."
"Only with a ghost supporting the coffin could Luo Ying become a grandmaster."
"The mountain lord may seem cold-blooded and ruthless towards his own son, but in reality, he has endless love for him."
Master Baidong glanced at Zhao Hu and said, "So the most powerful person who came out of the Black Mountain Grottoes is not me, nor Yi, but Luo Ying."
"You ask me who is stronger, the Mountain Lord or Luo Ying? I can only tell you that back then, Luo Ying didn't understand the Mountain Lord's good intentions, and the first person he wanted to kill after becoming a Grandmaster was the Mountain Lord."
"But Luo Ying did not succeed."
Zhao Cheng was horrified. He looked up at Yang Taozhi and asked, "Sister, are there martial arts realms above the Grandmaster level?"
Yang Taozhi said, "Grandmasters are also divided into stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage, but there is no higher realm. Of course, this is just the saying in the Eastern land. I once read in a book that it recorded that there were Grandmasters whose strength far exceeded that of Grandmasters in the snowy mountains of the Western Regions and the Jinghai Island, but no one has ever seen them."
"This mountain lord... could he be a grandmaster like this?"
"impossible."
Yang Taozhi decisively said, "If there really is a Grandmaster, if there really is someone who has reached the Grandmaster level, why would they raise assassins in the form of raising crickets to earn worldly money?"
Yang Taozhi looked into the distance and said longingly, "They... must all be like immortals."
"Immortals...that's definitely nonsense."
Zhao Cheng shook his head to bring his thoughts back and said, "That topic is over, let's move on."
Master Baidong said, "I can answer all your questions, but before that, could you please let me save that child? He's dying."
"cannot."
Zhao Cheng said decisively, "I gave him a chance, and I gave Miao Shaohua the same chance this time, but they didn't want it."
Master Baidong sighed.
Everyone has their own destiny; you just need to take care of yourself.
Zhao Cheng stretched and continued, "Miao Rusong ran away and happened to run into his uncle Miao Donglin, and then happened to become your disciple. And the two of them just happened to join my fourth brother's sect. Their first move was to take advantage of my fourth brother's ideas and target me."
Is it really such a coincidence?
“This was a setup from beginning to end, and I don’t believe Miao Rusong could have orchestrated it.”
"Master Baidong, tell me, who set up this scheme?"
Zhao Cheng bent down, staring closely into Bai Dong Zhenren's eyes, and said, "If you are lying, I will take it as if you did not answer. Don't underestimate the capabilities of Yiwen Society. Even if you don't tell me now, they can still find out, it will just take a little longer."
"It was Miao Donglin who found me." Master Baidong did not dwell on it.
"It really was him."
Zhao Cheng smiled, straightened his back, and said, "I can understand Miao Rusong's hatred for me, but Miao Donglin left home at a young age and has no connection with Qi Bainian, so he has no motive to harm me. So... who is behind him?"
"Being your opponent is really a headache!"
Master Baidong sighed, then suddenly laughed and said, "I really feel sorry for those people now. To be honest, I didn't want to get involved in this, but I really miss my old friends."
Master Baidong's gaze fell on Zhao Hu's face, and he continued, "If Yi is not by your side, I will not agree to them."
"Them?" Zhao Cheng asked, seizing on the word.
Master Baidong said, "When Miao Donglin found me, there was another person with him."
"who?"
"Yu Changsi".
Zhao Cheng laughed, as if he had already guessed it, and turned his head to the woods next to him, saying, "Fourth brother, you almost made Wen Tai's wedding dress!"
Following Zhao Cheng's gaze, everyone saw Zhao Zhan and Zhao Yan walk out.
Zhao Zhan's face was pale, and his eyes were full of regret.
Zhao Cheng said, "Don't let your guard down just because I signed a peace agreement with Xijing. Wen Tai and Wen Hu never stop thinking about getting rid of us."
"Big brother, I was wrong."
Zhao Zhan roared, "Miao Donglin, I'm going to kill him!"
Zhao Cheng patted Zhao Zhan on the shoulder and said, "I told you, making mistakes will help you improve faster. Don't hold a grudge, and be more careful in the future."
"Yes, elder brother."
Zhao Cheng squatted down in front of Master Baidong and said, "Uncle Wentai and his nephew are busy expanding westward. During this time, Dongjing and Nanzhou will inevitably clash. You have been in Nanzhou for so many years. Can you tell me about the affairs of the Jianghu in Nanzhou?"
What do you want to know?
"Look at all these people here. My sister and brother are both Grandmasters, and there are three Grandmasters in Xijing as well. I want to know, how many Grandmasters does Nanzhou have?"
"I, who am not involved in worldly affairs, do not know that there are three grandmasters who are very famous in the martial arts world of Southern Zhou."
Master Baidong replied, "The first one is my master, the Merlin Overlord Nie Zheng."
Zhao Cheng drew a circle with his finger and asked, "How does he compare to the people here?"
Master Baidong said with great confidence, "Although my master is over sixty years old, I'm afraid that Yang Taozhi's sword, Zhao Yan's spear, and Yi's two broken blades cannot break his Overlord Body Technique."
Zhao Cheng said quietly, "Don't brag."
Master Baidong said, "Among my master's disciples, my Overlord Body Technique is the weakest, but it can still handle three top experts at the same time. As the creator of the Overlord Body Technique, my master is the toughest man in the world!"
"What kind of terrible road is this to drive on! Hurry up and tell me the next one!" Zhao Cheng pouted.
"The second is Ming Yingluo, the master of Miaoyin Pavilion. In terms of strength, Miaoyin Pavilion has more than just her as a grandmaster. Her Miaoyin Immortal Group is skilled in formations and their strength is comparable to that of a grandmaster."
Zhao Cheng asked, "Miaoyin Pavilion... the name sounds like a brothel, like Hongxiuzhao."
Yang Taozhi said, "Miaoyin Pavilion uses music to form formations, and Ming Yingluo kills people with music. There is only one like it in the entire Eastern land."
"That's pretty impressive." Qianqian Xiaoshuang
Zhao Cheng clicked his tongue and looked at Master Baidong, asking, "What is the relationship between Miaoyin Pavilion and the Southern Zhou court?"
Master Baidong said, "The Southern Zhou court is not monolithic; it depends on which official in the court has a good relationship with them."
Zhao Cheng asked, "And the last one?"
Master Baidong replied, "The Prodigal Swordsman, it is I, Xiao."
"And what's the background of this one?"
"This master is very special. He has no family background or connections; he is just a seventeen-year-old boy."
"Only seventeen years old?!"
Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Yan in surprise and said, "Third brother, this kid is even more amazing than you!"
Zhao Yan calmly said, "That's still not as good as my sister. She became a grandmaster at the age of fifteen."
Master Baidong said, "Xiao also became a grandmaster at the age of fifteen. He was a prodigal son who never relied on anyone and never bowed to anyone. No one knew his whereabouts, only that his sword had killed or saved someone somewhere."
"He truly was a wanderer, a young man singing songs as he roamed the world with a sword."
