Dominating Martial King
Chapter 131 - 131 124 Qingyun List Released Fourth Update Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaofeng Hongye

131: Chapter 124: Qingyun List Released (Fourth Update Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaofeng Hongye) 131: Chapter 124: Qingyun List Released (Fourth Update Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Xiaofeng Hongye) At noon, the sky was clear and bright.

In the ancient marketplace in October, the sun was still scorching hot, the heat was sweltering.

The once bustling streets of the market were now sparsely populated, with hardly even a dog in sight.

The only exception was near the Xiushui County Debating Martial Arts Tower situated in the ancient marketplace.

This place was gathering many Jianghu people, waiting outside the building in several layers.

As Xie Zhenqing walked into the first layer, she found that everything was ready, with more than a thousand copies of the latest issue of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” placed in the most conspicuous place.

Inside, there were local publications like the “East State Chronicles” as well as the nationwide “Divine Continent Records,” and some other local chronicles that might also attract people’s interest.

Xie Zhenqing casually picked up a copy and quickly flipped through it.

She found two articles written by herself, along with two interviews with martial arts experts she personally handled.

Xie Zhenqing read quickly, gradually showing a satisfied expression.

The two interviews, in particular, were of very high quality and extremely impressive.

One was from the head of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, Lei Yuan; the other was from the latest rising Sixth Grade expert, a loose cultivator prodigy ranking ninth on the East State Qingyun List, Zhang Yu.

This Young Hero Zhang personally recounted some past experiences to her and elaborated on some cultivation techniques of Jianghu martial arts, especially the “Wild Goose Formation,” including key points on footwork and such, along with a unique fast technique Zhang Yu had developed.

— This will definitely cause a sensation throughout East State!

What attracted Jianghu people most about “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” were neither the rankings nor the anecdotes and legends of the Jianghu but these martial experts’ analyses and explanations of various martial arts.

Many Jianghu martial cultivators without inheritance or background absorbed various martial arts knowledge and cultivation methods through “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism.”

Especially the “Wild Goose Formation,” which was a widely popular Light Body Ascending Skill, drawing even more attention.

Xie Zhenqing then flipped to the latest East State Qingyun List.

She saw the name Chu Xisheng on it.

— Chu Xisheng, ranked eighty-ninth on the Qingyun List, Martial Arts Primordial Skill Ninth Tier, Upper!

Comment: This person is from Xiushui County, fifteen years old, his Nourishing Essence Skill is only at the third layer, but he has extraordinary talent, mastering several Formless Divine Sect’s external techniques such as Chasing Wind Saber and Light Cloud Jump, and even developed the “Vengeful Blade Intent.” His quick blade is as fast as thunder and lightning, with combat power surpassing his rank, capable of matching Upper Eighth Grade martial cultivators.

Recently, this person has become the Inner Sect Chief Disciple of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, with great prospects.

On the back of this East State Chronicles issue, there was an article written by Old Dong from within the Tower, dedicated to Vengeful Blade Intent.

This traced back to the “Blood Vengeance Blade Lord” who was invincible in the world a thousand years ago, narrating the origin and historical evolution of the Vengeful Blade Intent, with a focused discussion on Qin Muge, the Dominating Martial King, who had been invincible on the northern battlefield with his ten-layer Vengeful Blade Intent.

Then it mentioned Chu Xisheng, noting him as the only young hero in the past ten years in East State to cultivate Vengeful Blade Intent above the third level, with great expectations for his future.

Seeing the name “Chu Xisheng,” Xie Zhenqing felt a momentary guilt and regret.

This high ranking of eighty-ninth on the Qingyun List was too high, an unbearable weight for Chu Xisheng.

At that time, she was so furious she almost exploded, without considering the consequences, just wanting to severely teach that guy a lesson by writing him up high.

The higher he climbed, the harder the fall.

But now reflecting on it, Xie Zhenqing felt she had gone too far.

Why would she get so angry with a child?

Besides, he had saved her life, and now she was being ungrateful.

But the matter had come to this point, and it was too late to remedy it.

The new issue of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” was finalized a month ago and was about to be released; it was beyond her ability to salvage.

Forget it —

Xie Zhenqing thought of a Seventh Grade expert transferred from her clan half a month ago.

Before the effects of this Qingyun List issue wore off, this Seventh Grade house guard should be able to protect Chu Xisheng safely.

In fact, young people getting some hard knocks wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; as long as his life was intact and his martial veins and body undamaged, that guy could eventually rise again.

Xie Zhenqing then heavily slapped her own forehead, as a self-inflicted punishment.

Why was she always so impulsive?

Her parents always said she had a bad temper, was reckless and headstrong, and had no brains, and they were right about that.

Xie Zhenqing gathered her thoughts and asked Dong Lishan, “Are all preparations in place?

This issue of East State Chronicles contains explanations by seven martial experts, including local experts like Lei Yuan and Zhang Jue.

The news has already spread, it might cause a rush in Xiushui County, so make sure to stock up adequately.”

“All prepared!”

The scruffy-bearded Dong Lishan smiled and clasped his hands, “I personally oversaw this matter, with one hundred twenty-seven bookstores in Xiushui County, each stocked with five hundred copies of East State Chronicles and two hundred copies of Divine Continent Records, enough to cover our seventy-seven thousand martial cultivators in Xiushui County.”

Xie Zhenqing nodded slightly and looked at the crowded scene outside the door, “The hour has come, open the doors for sale.”

The guards at the door immediately obeyed, opening the doors wide.

The crowd instantly surged in, filling the first floor of the Debating Martial Arts Tower to the brim.

As Xie Zhenqing expected, the Debating Martial Arts Tower’s main store’s five thousand copies of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East State Chronicles” were sold out in less than an hour.

Even the Divine Continent Records were nearly sold out.

After leaving the Debating Martial Arts Tower, most people went to tea houses and taverns, flipping through the books over tea; or returned home to quietly study them.

Their primary expectation was the analysis and explanations of various martial arts techniques, followed by the anecdotes and legends of Jianghu.

But soon, someone noticed the changes in the Qingyun List.

“Eighty-ninth on the Qingyun List, Chu Xisheng?”

“What ability does this person have?

How could he rank so high?

The Coastal Twin Tigers, Lu Chen and Ying Haobai, were only pushed up to ninety-second and ninety-third in this issue.”

“An Inner Sect Chief Disciple of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall?

Interesting, didn’t expect Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall to produce a Qingyun prodigy after years of stagnation!”

“The Vengeful Blade Intent?

The same intent cultivated by Dominating Martial King Qin Muge, along with a quick blade, no wonder —”

“Ha!

If the opportunity arises, I’ll surely seek some pointers from him and see how strong his Vengeful Blade Intent is.”

Most people trusted the rankings of the “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” without a doubt.

The Debating Martial Arts institution had been passed down from the previous dynasty, standing for four thousand seven hundred years now, their various ranking lists were very authoritative, with few errors.

However, some were incredulous and found it hard to believe.

When Ye Zhiqiu bought a copy of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East State Chronicles” and walked out of the bookstore, she was stunned, almost dropping her newly purchased three bottles of baijiu.

“Eighty-ninth on the Qingyun List?

How could this be possible?”

Ye Zhiqiu suspected an illusion, blinking and staring intently.

But the text remained unchanged, Chu Xisheng had indeed appeared on the Qingyun List, recognized by the East State Debating Martial Arts Tower as a Qingyun prodigy.

Moreover, his rank even surpassed Coastal Twin Tigers — Lu Chen and Ying Haobai!

Ye Zhiqiu’s face darkened, striding rapidly towards the ancient market.

Her face held a trace of killing intent.

This Qingyun List ranking had a serious issue.

As Chu Xisheng’s teacher, she must seek justice for him, and not let her disciple be schemed against!
