Chapter 1691: Immortal List

"The auspicious time has arrived, the list will be announced!"

As Huang Shuai's voice fell, a muffled "dong" sound was heard throughout the Longhu Mountain. The sound was extremely dull, as if someone was beating a war drum, which shook everyone's spirits.

Almost at the moment when the drum sounded, a ray of light was seen emanating from the Immortal List on the right, followed by a "bang", and the Immortal List was the first to announce the list, and the scroll was directly opened.

However, when the Immortal List was opened, everyone looked at the Immortal List with expectation, but they were all stunned, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Boss Huang, is this Immortal List... wrong?" A figure at the level of a head teacher asked in a low voice.

In response, Huang Shuai just smiled and said nothing.

"What's going on? Why is this Immortal List... empty?"

"Is it because our cultivation is not high enough that we can't see the words on it?"

"Impossible, didn't you hear what the head master said? He can't see it either!"

The people below also started to discuss. Even I was a little hesitant, thinking, how come there is not a single name on this Immortal List? Is it going to be re-arranged?

However, Marshal Huang had just said that although the Immortal List has been slightly adjusted, most of the top ten masters of the previous session are still on the list, so the list should have been arranged long ago.

At this time, almost everyone looked at Marshal Huang in confusion. Seeing this, he just smiled faintly and said, "Zhang Wanli, why don't you come out and recite the list?"

Almost as soon as Marshal Huang finished speaking, a muffled "dong" sound was heard again, and then a disciple from the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain jumped up and stood directly on the drum platform. He first saluted to Marshal Huang and said, "Greetings, Uncle Master."

Then, he looked at me, smiled at me, and said, "Hello, General Zhang!"

I nodded slightly in greeting, and then I saw that he just glanced at the masters indifferently, and then he ignored them directly, bent down and picked up the drumstick.

At this, all the heads of the sects looked gloomy. Obviously, this young man from Longhu Mountain did not greet them politely, which made them a little unhappy.

However, he did have the capital to be arrogant. After all, he was the eldest senior brother of the younger generation of Longhu Mountain. The most important thing was that this was Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain was a holy place of Taoism. Not only was the old master in charge, but the emperor even had to personally consult the old master on many matters in the martial arts world and even in the court.

"Be quiet!"

At this time, there was still a lot of discussion below, and as he spoke, the voices became quieter, but there were still some people who didn't understand what was going on, whispering to each other. The Longhu Mountain disciple immediately narrowed his eyes and scanned the scene with a cold gaze.

The man's eyes were very cold, especially the sword on his body. The sword suddenly exuded a strong murderous aura at this moment, and along with his eyes, it swept towards the crowd.

The crowd cried out in surprise and took a step back subconsciously, and then someone cried out in surprise: "It's Zhang Wanli, the eldest senior brother of the younger generation of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. I heard that this man has a bad temper. Once the Maoshan Sect came to visit, Maoshan's eldest senior brother Mao Buhui had a conflict with him, and the two fought in public. If it weren't for the old Tianshi, I guess these two people would have beaten their brains out!"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked, even me, I couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to myself, my god, Mao Buhui has such deeds?

I turned my head to look at Mao Buhui, and immediately I saw that Mao Buhui's expression was extremely strange. When he saw me looking at him, he grinned at me and said, "It's all rumors, it's not true at all..."

Although he said this, his face was full of guilt.

"Is there such a thing?" The people below were also curious and asked, "Then why did they conflict?"

"This..." The man was a little hesitant, and everyone urged him when they saw this: "Brother, don't hide it. I love to hear these gossips. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep for several days. Come on, I'll buy you the next few days of wine!"

Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, and then he said, "I also heard from my elders that Maoshan's eldest senior brother Mao Buhui was so bold that he dared to steal things from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and the things he stole were..."

"What else?" Everyone pricked up their ears. Seeing this, the man lowered his voice and said, "What he stole was the artifact that the old master gave to Mr. Huang... the Heaven-shaking Seal!"

This sentence made everyone stunned, and then they all looked at each other, staring at the spot with wide eyes.

Even I twitched my mouth and looked at Mao Buhui, and found that he was gritting his teeth and staring at the person who said bad things about him. That expression, that demeanor, seemed to want to tear him apart!

"Oh my god!" Hu Zi on the side couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Mao, when you were young... you were really awesome, you are this!"

As he said that, he also gave Mao Buhui a thumbs up.

"Dong..."

The drum sounded again. This time, Zhang Wanli hit the drum hard with the drumstick, and then squinted his eyes at the person who was talking in the crowd.

This look was full of murderous intent. The person trembled all over, subconsciously shrank his neck, and hid in the crowd.

Zhang Wanli sneered at this, and then said loudly: "The tenth place on the Immortal List..."

His voice was not very loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone. Even the people at the foot of the mountain could hear it clearly. It seemed that some magic weapon was used.

"The tenth place on the Immortal List, Taoist Qinglian!"

As Zhang Wanli's voice fell, four big characters suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Immortal List, and these four characters were Taoist Qinglian.

"Master Qinglian? Who is Master Qinglian?"

"This Immortal Ranking replaces the previous list of the top ten masters in the world. Logically, shouldn't the tenth place be the Soul Guiding Old Man?"

"Is it possible... that the Soul Guiding Old Man's ranking has risen? Or... that he has been replaced by Master Qinglian?"

"In every previous martial arts conference, the previous list would not change. If you want to be on the list, you must challenge the people on the list. Only by winning can you replace them. Why... did the rules change this time?"

In response to everyone's doubts, Zhang Wanli said lightly: "This time's Immortal List is indeed different from previous years. The Tianshi Mansion has readjusted the ranking according to the changes in everyone's strength, and there are also new strong people on the list. The reason for not following the challenge rules is that we are worried that human cultivators will kill each other for fame and fortune. You can rest assured about the list of my Longhu Mountain. It is absolutely fair."
