Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Sword King of Northern Liang! (4th Update)

Seven days have passed in a flurry.

For the whole week, the Wei Family has been spreading news, fermenting public opinion within the Jingzhou circle to its climax.

Wei Shichang’s heart was filled with excitement as he had long prepared all contingencies and connected with all the resources accumulated by the Wei Family over the centuries.

Today, as long as the Immortal in Immortal Burial Valley slays Lin Fan, his Wei Family could rise to power like a bolt of lightning and ascend to the throne of the number one family in Jingzhou!

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!

In contrast, Lin Fan has been completely unresponsive over these seven days, keeping to his daily routine and only on the morning of the seventh day did he, after finishing his bath, head to Immortal Burial Valley accompanied by everyone.

Since last night, people had gradually arrived at the foot of Yanbei Mountain, and the entire winding mountain road had already been blocked, prohibiting car travel. If one wished to watch the battle, they had to hike up the mountain.

Even so, before the sun had even risen, countless luxury cars had arrived, forming a long queue, crowding at the foot of Yanbei Mountain.

Not only vehicles with Jingzhou license plates, but even those from other provinces had come specifically to watch the battle!

Wealthy individuals from various provinces gathered together like mountain tourists, walking over a dozen kilometers along the winding road, reaching halfway up Yanbei Mountain—a scene of spectacular proportions.

"Rumor has it, there are Immortals in Immortal Burial Valley!"

"I can’t believe that in my lifetime, I could actually see an Immortal from Immortal Burial Valley!"

"Will there really be a battle today? I still can’t believe that an Immortal from Immortal Burial Valley has agreed to duel with a young Grandmaster! It’s too incredible!"

The climbing tycoons discussed.

Suddenly, someone sneered:

"Heh! The duel is fake, the Wei Family’s true goal of becoming the number one noble family in Huaxia is the reality! Otherwise, how could today’s lineup be so grand? Nearly half of Huaxia’s wealthy circle is here to watch, clearly invited by the Wei Family!"

"Hiss!"

The surrounding wealthy individuals all gasped in astonishment!

"Shush!"

"Are you seeking death? Although everyone knows the Wei Family’s hidden intentions are more than they appear, don’t say it out loud!"

Everyone’s hearts raced with fear.

Everybody knew what the Wei Family’s ambition was; as for the Immortal from Immortal Burial Valley battling the young Grandmaster, it was merely a distraction!

The real aim of the Wei Family was to prove through this battle that their backer is Immortal Burial Valley, having an Immortal as their supporter!

...

Outside Immortal Burial Valley.

The chiefs of Jingzhou’s top ten families had arrived early in the morning, all of them standing there, with a host of followers behind them.

"Sister Wang, why hasn’t Lin Fan arrived yet?"

Ye Fengyun frowned, asking the Wang Family’s elder matriarch.

The Wang Family’s elder matriarch, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, directed the Wang family’s daughters and granddaughters, with Zhou Ling’er notably present, having come to Yanbei Mountain early in the morning as well.

"This old lady doesn’t know either! Since Lin Fan received the War Token seven days ago, he left the Wang Family and I don’t know where he went!"

The Wang Family’s elder matriarch sighed softly.

"Could it be that he has run away?"

Someone whispered.

"Swoosh—!"

In an instant, hundreds of eyes fell on this small wealthy individual.

"Cough cough... I... I was just speaking off the cuff, just off the cuff..." This small wealthy individual’s face instantly flushed red, guiltily lowering his head.

He could not withstand the gaze of so many people, let alone the presence of the patriarchs from Jingzhou’s top ten families and various Martial Arts Grandmasters!

Just when everyone was speculating about Lin Fan’s whereabouts.

Suddenly, another wealthy man exclaimed:

"My heavens! Look, what is that!"

Everyone looked in the direction the wealthy man pointed, only to see a figure leaping from treetop to treetop!

"This is..."

Everyone was stunned.

This figure moved like a monkey, even more agile than a monkey, his entire being seemingly weightless, starting from the foot of the mountain, flying from the top of one treetop to another, each step covering a distance of seventy to eighty feet.

From the moment they saw this figure to when he reached the mountaintop, it took less than three minutes.

When this person finally stood still, everyone discovered that he was an old Taoist dressed in a Taoist robe, looking like a wandering magician!

"Boundless Heavenly Venerate, I hope I’m not too late for today’s battle between immortals and humans in the Immortal Burial Valley?"

Even Yuan Shiyin, Huangfu Xiaoran, and other Great Grandmasters from Martial Arts families were shocked.

With their status, none of them could recognize who this Taoist was.

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Huangfu Xiaoran asked.

"Just a scruffy Taoist, no need to mention my name."

The old Taoist waved his hand nonchalantly, found a large stone to sit on, closed his eyes, and completely ignored Yuan Shiyin, Huangfu Xiaoran, and the others.

However, this didn’t lessen the shock in the hearts of Yuan Shiyin, Huangfu Xiaoran, and the others. Seeing the terrifying methods the old Taoist had just displayed, he covered the ten-plus kilometers of mountainous road in three minutes, something even they couldn’t achieve!

As everyone speculated about the identity of the old Taoist, another bout of laughter rang out.

"Haha! Master Xuan Kong, I didn’t expect you to arrive so early! Even earlier than me by a few minutes!"

"Master Xuan Kong? It’s actually him!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shiyin exclaimed, reminding himself of someone in his mind!

"How could it be him!"

The other Martial Arts Grandmasters present also had a ghastly look, staring at the old Taoist.

"Grandmaster Yuan, who is Master Xuan Kong?" a wealthy man asked cautiously.

"Impossible, this man... this man should have passed away long ago..." Yuan Shiyin still couldn’t believe it.

"Grandmaster Yuan, stop playing coy!" the surrounding group of wealthy men became anxious, scratching their heads.

"Master Xuan Kong, the last National Master of the Qing Dynasty!"

"What? Qing... Qing Dynasty... Sss! Over a hundred years ago!"

The wealthy men present couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, the man who had just shouted the name of Master Xuan Kong had arrived at the scene!

The newcomer was a burly man dressed like a barbarian, with a broad saber on his back.

"Sword King, I didn’t expect you to still be alive, looking like you haven’t become a Land Immortal either!" Master Xuan Kong opened his eyes and said teasingly.

"Ah! Don’t mention it, becoming a Land Immortal is difficult! It’s these old fellows in Immortal Burial Valley who are remarkable, having gained the great fortune to become Land Immortals!" The burly man sighed lightly.

"Sword King? Wait! One chi, four cun, eight fen long, are you the Sword King of Beiliang!"

"Beiliang Sword King..."

"Hmm? You young man, you actually know me?" The burly man’s eyebrows twitched.

"Senior, I have heard of your fame from my father!"

Huangfu Xiaoran nodded seriously, excitedly saying, "Back when the Central Plains were in dire straits and Huaxia Land was occupied, with a single sword, you charged into ten thousand enemy troops, slew the highest commander of the enemy, and were crowned a king in a single battle! Later, you were listed at the top of the enemy’s most wanted list, how could the younger generation forget?"

"Hehe! That’s all in the past! Now, dare the enemy step even half a step into our Huaxia? If they dare come again, Hu is prepared to take my sword to the Capital City!" Beiliang Sword King scoffed coldly.
