Chapter 174: Becoming Famous (Part 1)



The secret treasure of the sword tomb has always been a rumor in the Jiangnan martial arts world.

Many years ago, a great swordsman named Bai Yue appeared out of nowhere. His swordsmanship was so ethereal that he defeated the best boxing champion in the martial arts world right after he debuted. He immediately became famous and was a true prodigy.

If the Hundred Weapons List had not been released at that time, Bai Yue would definitely have become the number one swordsman in Jiangnan.

But this honor was just the beginning for Bai Yue. He was obsessed with swords and had no interest in women. He only wanted to improve his swordsmanship and swordsmanship, so he traveled around and challenged those seniors and giants who had been famous for many years.

At first, there were reports of defeats, but as Bai Yue continued to improve, after ten years he was invincible in Jiangnan. Moreover, his swordsmanship was so god-like that he could turn a picked-up branch or a reed into a sword.

Finally, when he was twenty-eight years old, he took another step forward to the tenth level of inner strength, and truly stepped into the end of the inner strength realm that countless warriors would find difficult to reach in their lifetime.

The realm of Grandmaster.

From then on, people no longer called him Bai Daxia.

But, Sword Saint Bai Yue.

Since then, Bai Yue disappeared and there was no news of him in the world.

Some people say that he went to the uninhabited areas far north of the Tang Dynasty.

Some people said that he encountered a thunder tribulation, and God would not allow such a monstrous person to exist, so he struck him to death.

Some people say that he was defeated by the leader of the evil cult.

In short, there are thousands of opinions, but none of them are reliable.

However, apart from the cause of Bai Yue's death, there is one thing that is quite consistent in the accounts in Jiangnan.

That was the secret sword tomb left by Bai Yue somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ten stone tablets were placed inside, recording Bai Yue's swordsmanship experience over the years, as well as his learned sword styles and internal force techniques. There were also all the swords Bai Yue had used.

Among them are ordinary iron swords for practice, as well as magical weapons. These are priceless treasures and are the place that swordsmen dream of visiting.

Therefore, many people have been searching for the location of the sword tomb in various places in Jiangnan, but there has been no result.

They didn't know that there were actually clues to find the secret location of the sword tomb.

It was suspected to be a catalog left behind by Sword Saint Bai Yue, which contained many incomprehensible patterns and words.

Back then, two knights from the Central Plains fought fiercely for this atlas. In the end, no one knew what happened and the atlas was divided into four parts. The atlas was completely lost in the world and no one knew who got it.

This matter has always been a secret known to few people.

As forces that all possessed a copy of the incomplete map, the Qiu Shui family, the Thunder Fist Sect, and the Sword Sect had kept this secret very strictly over the years, while at the same time they had worked together to secretly search for the whereabouts of the fourth copy of the map.

But what no one expected was that years of peace were broken by the arrival of the evil cult.

The Qiu Shui family was wiped out overnight. This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the leaders of the Thunder Fist Sect and the Sword Sect, making them feel uneasy and panic-stricken.

Although the Qiu Shui family only has two internal force masters, Qiu Chong and Shui Cangsheng, their strength is not weak. If the Leiquan Sect and the Daojian Sect are allowed to come, their overall strength will only be slightly stronger than the Qiu Shui family. If the next victim falls on them, the situation will be very troublesome.

As a result, upon receiving the news, the Thunder Fist Sect and the Sword Sect immediately came up with their own countermeasures, which were surprisingly consistent.

"Have you heard? Sword Saint Bai Yue once passed down a map that recorded how to find the secret treasures in the sword tomb. Later, it was cut into four parts. Now, two of the fragments are in Yangzhou Prefecture."

"I've heard of it, but is this kind of thing reliable? I've never heard of such a thing before."

"Everyone is saying it can't be fake, right? I heard that the Qiushui family was killed by the demon cult because they hid a fragment of the map."

Most of the people sitting in the teahouse were from the underworld. They all carried swords and knives, and many of them were carrying various weapons. It was a bit scary at first glance, and many civilians didn't dare to come in to drink tea anymore.

Qin Yuesheng sat alone on the second floor, where the private rooms were located. Each room was separated by a pearl and jade curtain, and the environment was much more elegant and stylish than that on the first floor.

"These two forces used this move quite cleverly, directly shifting their target. However, whether those people in the Demon Cult will believe this rumor is a big question." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself as he looked downstairs.

In just one day, the number of martial artists in Yangzhou Prefecture increased dramatically. Even though the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference could not be held, the number of people coming to Yangzhou Prefecture was even greater than before.

Under such circumstances, the situation becomes even more complicated.

At this moment, a group of people dressed very conspicuously suddenly walked into the lobby of the teahouse below from outside the main door. Everyone in the group was dressed gorgeously, and the young man in the lead was dressed in even more luxurious clothes. It was obvious at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.

Under the gaze of everyone, he walked up to the second floor, waving his fan.

"This appears to be the fifty-sixth on the Jiangnan Hundred Weapons List, 'Xiaoyao Fan' Murong Su."

"It seems to be him."

"This thing is really getting more and more interesting. I've seen many famous people on the Hundred Weapons List in the past few days."

"That's not interesting at all. It would be interesting if they could have a fight and learn from each other."

"But a defeat would affect their ranking on the Hundred Weapons Ranking next month. They probably won't fight in public."
