"Xu Xian, the Taoist master of Kunlun Mountain? Is there such a person in the world?"
At the governor's mansion, a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament changed his expression.
Not far from him, Wen Ling was kneeling on the ground, his head lowered, his expression unseen. But judging by his shaky legs, he was terrified to the core.
Next to the middle-aged man sat the handsome Liu Shiyu.
Liu Shiyu took a sip from his teacup, and after his turbulent emotions had gradually calmed down, he said with some fear, "Mr. Wen, I'm familiar with all the great martial arts masters in the world, but I've never heard of such a person. But this person can suspend his sword in the air and manifest a waning moon. I'm afraid that even a master in the Heavenly Realm cannot achieve this level of martial arts unless he is a Grandmaster."
"If it's just the long sword that manifests the waning moon, it doesn't mean he's a Grandmaster. Perhaps it's some special martial arts phenomenon?"
Wenzhou Mu also had a heavy expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he asked this question.
A master in the realm of heaven and man, whose martial arts can connect with the vital energy of heaven and earth, manifests all kinds of strange and bizarre martial arts, and has gradually become free from the appearance of ordinary people.
If one progresses further and becomes a Grandmaster of the Martial Saint Realm, they have broken free from the shackles of humanity and are no longer ordinary people. They can directly control the vital energy of heaven and earth within a certain range and manifest the realm of martial arts.
In this realm, a Martial Saint is practically invincible. Even a Grandmaster on the Heavenly Man Ranking would be forced to flee upon encountering a Martial Saint.
"Mr. Wen, others might have made a mistake, but my master is Li Tianshi of Bahuang Mountain. He can clearly distinguish between martial arts phenomena and martial arts realms." Liu Shiyu shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, but he still smiled bitterly. "That waning moon could even infect buildings. If they hadn't stopped in time, I'm afraid we would have been reduced to bloody debris long ago."
As the prince of the current dynasty, Liu Shiyu has a noble status. Naturally, he learned from a great master of the Martial Saint realm, so he still has some basic judgment.
Of course, he also knew why the governor of Wenzhou had doubts.
After all, the world has dozens of states, a vast territory, and a population of nearly 10 billion.
There are many sects among them, like carp swimming across the river.
However, even though there are so many forces in the martial arts world, plus the forces under the imperial court, there are only eighteen places that can be called martial arts holy places.
Only when a great master of the Martial Saint realm is in charge can it be qualified to be called a holy land.
In other words, it takes a land of several states to produce a great master of the Martial Saint realm.
Although there may still be some hermit masters who live a carefree life, even if all of them are counted, there are only a few grand masters at the level of Martial Saint.
The sudden appearance of a great master who had never been heard of would naturally make even the governor of a state skeptical.
Wenzhou Mu did not quite believe it at this time, but on the surface he believed it a little. After all, the fifth prince came from the capital city where there were many experts. Even if there was a misjudgment, it might not be far off.
In other words, even if Xu Xian, the Taoist master of Kunlun Mountain, is not a grandmaster at the level of Martial Saint, he can definitely be considered a grandmaster at the top of the Heavenly Man List.
"In that case," said Wenzhou Mu with a somewhat sorrowful expression. He glanced at Wen Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Ling'er, your father has often scolded you. But your arrogant and domineering nature has never changed. Now look, you have caused such a terrible disaster. Having offended such a powerful enemy, your father can hardly protect you!"
"Father, everyone is responsible for their own actions." Wen Ling gritted his teeth, then calmed down. He raised his head and said in a deep voice, "If the other party comes to me, I will commit suicide."
Wenzhou Mu looked a little struggling and fell silent.
Although this third son has never given him peace of mind and has brought powerful enemies to the Wen family this time, he is still his blood relative after all. It is really difficult for him to give him up easily emotionally.
Liu Shiyu said from the side, "Mr. Wen, the situation isn't that dire. If the Taoist master of Kunlun Mountain had murderous intentions, we wouldn't be able to return here."
Wenzhou Mu was, after all, a high-ranking official, and one of the few high-ranking officials supporting his faction. This time, he had caused the death of a son simply by strolling around. Although this incident was not directly caused by him, it would inevitably create a rift between them.
Once the people become disunited and set a bad precedent, how many court officials would dare to come and join them?
Moreover, putting aside other things, simply for the sake of the court's reputation, it is impossible to let the young master of the Wen family end his life on his own.
The Martial Saint was indeed extremely terrifying, and even a prince felt his scalp tingling, but that didn't mean there was no way around it.
Liu Shiyu then continued, "This matter should be turning around. I plan to personally host a banquet to make amends, and I have already sent someone to invite the Grand Master."
"Will the other party accept the invitation?"
Wenzhou Mu frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
Even though he was a governor and a high-ranking official with the support of the imperial court and even the holy land, he did not want to fight to the death with a great master of the Martial Saint realm.
You have to know that behind him stands an entire family, the lives and property of thousands of people in the Wen family.
If they acted on impulse, even if the Martial Saint really paid the price, their Wen family might be destroyed.
Therefore, reconciliation is the best solution.
"Whether or not we accept the invitation, we must be polite."
Liu Shiyu sighed.
His eyes were a little dazed at this moment, and he remembered that stunning glimpse and the red figure. Although the other person was wearing a veil, he could still vaguely see those captivating eyebrows and eyes.
She is truly a woman who is like a banished immortal.
......
......
On the second day, Xu Xianxian took her two stupid apprentices out shopping as usual, ready to start a new day of eating and drinking.
However, as soon as he left the inn, he was approached by two black-clad martial artists.
"Miss Xu, this is an invitation from my master."
They saluted Xu Xianxian very respectfully and then handed her the invitation.
These two black-clad warriors are both royal guards, and their strength is considered to be strong in the innate realm.
"The Fifth Prince of the current dynasty, Liu Shiyu?" Xu Xianxian took the invitation, glanced at it casually, and smiled faintly: "Why doesn't he dare to come?"
Her attitude towards one of the most powerful people in the world seemed very disrespectful.
Even so, the two black-clad warriors maintained their usual demeanor, only bowing with increasing respect as they said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is currently arranging the banquet himself and is unable to attend. We beg Miss Xu's forgiveness."
Faced with this Grandmaster who was suspected to be at the Martial Saint level, even though the two guards were a little panicked, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep a low profile.
"Okay, I will bring my apprentice to the banquet on time."
Xu Xianxian's dark eyes turned slightly, and then she slowly spoke.
Liu Shiyu can be considered the reincarnation of an old friend, so it won’t be a big deal if he gives some advice when the time comes.
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, the two black-clothed martial artists looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least now it seems that this grandmaster does not seem like a giant of the magic world who kills people at will.
