Chapter 556: Chapter 555: The Expert is Right in Front of You

Liu Cheng’an looked at everyone and then continued, "The Outer Eight Sects have been passed down to this day, organizing hundreds of competitions in secret. Some competitions were exceedingly bloody, with unexpected accidents even resulting in loss of life."

"However, born in a time of turmoil, we need strong physiques and indomitable spirit."

"But now, with the country thriving and the world at peace, should we also follow the mandate of heaven and change the content of the competition?"

Many people nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Cheng’an’s viewpoint.

After all, past major competitions always focused on strength, which was inevitably unfair to some forces, such as the Orchid Sect and the Red Handkerchief, both of which were part of the Outer Eight Sects at the [Civil Official] level.

Whenever assessments were related to strength, their results were always poor.

However.

The Outer Eight Sects were also considerate of them, not letting them participate in assessments, and giving them an average score.

As a result, although their scores were average, they lacked any sense of achievement.

After a pause, Liu Cheng’an’s voice rang out again, "Some of you may know that some time ago, the Su Province Su Residence auctioned off a Taoist amulet."

"That amulet was incredibly magical; even in the face of a fatal strike from a Grandmaster-level expert, the wearer could remain unharmed!"

"This time, the assessment content is related to the amulet."

"Whoever can find the Taoist master who crafted the amulet will be the first-place winner in this assessment."

The crowd was immediately filled with discussions.

Many were astonished that there was a Taoist master capable of crafting amulets, as such techniques had long been lost in the martial world.

Some also said it was an impossible task. Even if there was a Taoist master capable of crafting amulets, a being as elusive as a divine dragon, how could ordinary people find them in the vast sea of people?

Xu Wendong, standing to the side, was astonished.

The mysteries in his mind became clear at this moment.

Previously, when he was in Lianyun County, Su Xiaodie went to deliver medicine to him and mentioned that some martial artists were inquiring about his information.

At first, he didn’t know who it was.

Now it seemed.

Was there anyone else besides the people from the Outer Eight Sects?

Miao Tan’s voice also rang, "The Outer Eight Sects have been passed down for thousands of years. Although our forces have no connection with the Taoist Sect, one thing is clear, if we can climb the lofty tree of the Taoist Sect, our Outer Eight Sects will undoubtedly usher in glory!"

"Therefore, the rules for this major competition are simple. As long as someone can find the mysterious Taoist master, we will embrace that person as the head of the Outer Eight Sects!"

Everyone showed a look of shock.

It was well known that since the establishment of the Outer Eight Sects, they had always been in a state of division.

Although many expected the Outer Eight Sects to be integrated, no one had ever been able to achieve it.

However, one thing was evident.

If the Outer Eight Sects were indeed integrated, their influence would undoubtedly be terrifying.

To speak bluntly.

If it were the feudal era, they might even overthrow a dynasty’s rule.

"Let’s ask the opinion of Grandmaster Uncle on this matter!" Liu Cheng’an cheerfully looked at Xu Wendong, knowing that although the Outer Eight Sects had always been the weakest among the eight sects, Xu Wendong was the oldest in seniority here, and his attitude was particularly important regarding whether the Outer Eight Sects would remain divided or united.

Pop!

Xu Wendong lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a couple of deep drags, and revealed an awkward expression, "Actually, this question shouldn’t be asked of me!"

Xu Wendong was very embarrassed.

Even though he was the one who benefited the most from this matter.

But he found it inappropriate to express his own opinion.

Liu Cheng’an smiled wryly, "You are the most senior here; if we don’t ask you, who do we ask?"

"Is this the amulet you are talking about?" Ye Qingxin, standing at the desk to the side, spoke up, holding a piece of talisman paper with red runes on it.

Liu Cheng’an’s pupils suddenly trembled. Although he hadn’t participated in the auction at the Su Residence, he had seen the photo of the amulet at the auction, which looked exactly like the one Ye Qingxin had.

"Is your amulet genuine or fake?" Liu Cheng’an asked, suppressing his inner excitement.

Ye Qingxin smiled, "There might be many fake amulets in the world, but the one in my hand is definitely real."

Liu Cheng’an instinctively swallowed, "To know if this amulet is genuine, we need to test it!"

"Sure!" Ye Qingxin casually waved her hand, and the amulet flew onto a disciple of the Thieves’ Sect. She then smiled and said, "Sect Leader Liu has Grandmaster-level strength and can strike with all his might to test the authenticity of this amulet."

Liu Cheng’an’s eyes flickered with a trace of astonishment, then he expressed dissatisfaction, "Why not let your Life-Seeking Sect’s disciple test the authenticity?"

He was surprised that Ye Qingxin would generously bring out this amulet, given that the one at the Su Residence auction sold for over one hundred billion.

However...

He was displeased that Ye Qingxin threw that amulet to his disciple.

If the amulet failed to protect, would his disciple not be shattered, killed on the spot?

Ye Qingxin smiled lightly and said, "My Life-Seeking Sect’s disciples do not need this."

Everyone was baffled, not understanding what Ye Qingxin meant.

Liu Cheng’an hesitated, then looked at Xu Wendong and politely asked, "Grandmaster Uncle, can you guarantee the authenticity of this amulet?"

Xu Wendong replied, "Why not test it?"

Liu Cheng’an glanced around, seeing the expectant eyes of everyone, he ultimately took a deep breath and signaled to a disciple.

"Master, please be gentle; I’m still planning to have dumplings at midnight!" said a young man named Deng Lei, his face filled with nervousness.

Despite his words, he moved to a spacious area.

Liu Cheng’an focused his internal energy, then raised his right palm, striking it onto Deng Lei’s shoulder; even if the amulet failed to protect, it would not necessarily be fatal.

Boom!

As a Grandmaster-level expert, Liu Cheng’an’s strike was still terrifying. The wind howled like thunder, causing everyone to instinctively hold their breath.

The next moment.

Liu Cheng’an’s full-force strike landed on Deng Lei’s shoulder.

And just when everything seemed critical.

A brilliant emerald green glow instantly enveloped him; shimmering brightly, the emerald green light also repelled Liu Cheng’an, sending him flying back.

Fortunately, being a Grandmaster-level expert, he stabilized himself in mid-air and did not present a too disgraceful scene.

The scene fell silent, as no one had ever witnessed such a bizarre and inexplicable event.

Miao Tan, recovering from shock, excitedly looked at Ye Qingxin, "Where did you obtain this amulet? Do you know the Taoist master who crafted it?"

Ye Qingxin smiled beautifully and said, "Actually, the Taoist master you speak of is right in front of you!"
