At the Dark River headquarters, several top-tier Heavenly Realm experts were gathered together for a meeting.
The people who came were all important figures, and their every move in the Northern Jianghu could cause a great upheaval.
The Dark River Alliance is divided into three factions, and Xie Qidao is one of them. He is the head of the Xie family.
In addition, there were members of the Mu family and the head of the Su family.
The Su family has many experts, but the most outstanding among them is competitive and exceptional.
The patriarch of the entire Dark River clan, Su Changhe, can manipulate events with a mere gesture; he is the head of the entire clan.
The leader of the assassins, Su Muyu, who carries the umbrella, is the head of the Su family.
In addition, there is another old man from the Tang Clan—Old Master Tang.
Several bigwigs sat around a table, each holding an identical list.
Absolutely number one on the list!!
What is meant by "the best"?
Naturally, only the most skilled, combat-powerful, and top-tier experts from the Northern Jianghu can be included on the list.
Moreover, there is a limit to the number of people; only ten can be arranged.
In the past, those who made the list were all powerful figures at the Heavenly Realm Great Freedom level, all of whom were either exceptionally talented or had been famous for a long time.
This time, however, a completely unknown young man was included in the list.
In other words, Lin Bufan has already ranked among the top ten martial artists in the Northern Li Jianghu.
This is truly appalling and unacceptable.
"Lin Bufan, who is this kid?"
The head of the Mu family stared at the ranking list and asked curiously, "He's only in his early twenties, the youngest expert on the ranking list. He actually managed to push the Furious Sword Immortal off the list."
"The Angry Sword Immortal, hehe, Yan Zhantian, he must be furious." Su Muyu laughed mockingly.
"Yes, of the five great sword immortals, only Yan Zhantian was squeezed out. No wonder he's angry."
"Lin Bufan is a young man who is not on the list of fine jade, but has risen to the list of the best. I am very interested in having him test his skills."
Xie Qidao stroked the back of his sword, showing no sign of joking.
The bigwigs were curious; Old Master Xie seemed to be in a very bad mood today.
"Old Xie, what deep-seated grudge do you have against him?"
"Hmph, I finally managed to train dozens of decent disciples and even adopted a few as my godsons, but when we went to steal the large coffin, Lin Bufan killed them all."
“If you’re going to kill Lin Bufan, count me in,” Old Master Tang interjected.
The reason why Old Master Tang wanted to kill Lin Bufan was very simple: because Lin Bufan helped Lei Wujie.
That is to help Lei Family Fortress. The Tang family has always been hostile to Lei Family Fortress, and they are irreconcilable enemies.
Old Master Tang would not allow the Lei family to have another powerful helper.
Su Changhe pointed to the additional text next to the list and reminded the two, "Look carefully, he's Li Hanyi's old flame. It says he's Li Hanyi's husband."
"If Bai Xiaosheng says so, then it must be so. Do you believe him?"
Xie Qidao said, "I clearly remember Li Hanyi's old flame, it was that Taoist priest surnamed Zhao, the Sword Immortal."
"However, Bai Xiaosheng has never made a mistake in compiling the list."
"In my opinion, he made a mistake in the rankings this time. I don't know if he's senile or if he received some benefits from someone. Look who's in first place, a guy named Mo Yi. I don't even know who he is. Have you ever heard of him?"
Well……
Su Changhe shook his head, "I've never heard of it either, and I'm wondering about it myself."
Su Muyu's expression turned serious, and she shook her head, "I've never heard of Mo Yi either, and I don't know who he is."
Old Master Tang stroked his beard, his brows furrowed, unable to recall the existence of Mo Yi.
A non-existent person has reached number one, so is this list wrong?
"Regardless of whether this list is true or false, regardless of who Mo Yi is, I, the old man, will ignore him. I'm only targeting Lin Bufan."
Old Master Tang said, "So what if he is Li Hanyi's husband? We'll just wipe out Li Hanyi along with him."
Annihilate Li Hanyi?!
The bigwigs' expressions turned slightly tense.
Old Master Tang glanced at everyone and said, "The list of the most outstanding people doesn't mean anything. Even if Bai Xiaosheng had the audacity, he wouldn't dare to include the court's experts on the list. At the same time, he wouldn't include Anhe or any of you on the list. I believe that everyone here has a way to control Lin Bufan and kill Li Hanyi."
Xie Qidao stood up excitedly, "That's right, the pressing formation can deal with them. So what if he's at the Great Freedom Realm and half-step Divine Travel Realm? If we join forces, killing him will be a piece of cake."
"Gentlemen, should we wait a little longer before killing Lin Bufan and Li Hanyi?"
Su Changhe stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked in the direction of Tianqi City.
"What are you waiting for?" Xie Qidao stood up abruptly. "He killed dozens of my outstanding disciples and several adopted sons. I must avenge this."
Old Master Tang also stood up, "The henchmen of Lei Family Fortress, my Tang Clan will surely kill them."
"Don't be anxious, you two," Su Changhe said. "Yan Zhantian has been pushed off the list of top scholars, and he wants to kill Lin Bufan even more than you do. I'll try to contact him, and also..."
Su Changhe said firmly, "We can't go to Snow Moon City to kill people, can we? I heard that the Heroes' Banquet is about to be held, and they will definitely go back to Lei Family Fortress then. We'll make our move then, and the location will be on the way."
"I'll listen to the elders." Xie Qidao clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Let's listen to the elders," Grandpa Tang agreed.
...
Tianqi City.
Yan Zhantian was furious when he saw the newly received list of the most outstanding individuals.
The name of the Furious Sword Immortal was fully displayed at this moment.
"Lin Bufan? Hmph!"
"What merit or ability does he have to push me off the list of the most outstanding sword immortals, making me the only one to fall off the list? What a joke in the martial arts world."
"I will kill this boy."
"I must go to Snowmoon City."
Clang!
The Po Jun Divine Sword flew over and was caught in Yan Zhantian's hand. Yan Zhantian prepared to fly away on the sword.
As soon as he stepped out of the pavilion, a carrier pigeon flew over from the direction of the underground river and landed in his hand.
Is there news? Is the Su family looking for me?
Yan Zhantian took down the small note and unfolded it to read it.
Indeed, Su Changhe sent a letter seeking cooperation to kill Lin Bufan and Li Hanyi.
If you agree, come to the Su family to discuss the assassination plan.
