296: Chapter 207 February Debating Martial God Machine (Request for Subscription) 296: Chapter 207 February Debating Martial God Machine (Request for Subscription) February 15th was the release date for the new issue of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism.”

As the Debating Martial Arts Towers began to sell in various places, a new copy of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” and “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East Continent Records” was delivered to the study of Sheen Family’s manor, in the hands of Commander Sheen Zhou.

“Twenty-ninth place on the Qingyun List?”

Sheen Zhou narrowed his eyes, considering that this ranking was quite appropriate.

Chu Xisheng had reached the Eighth Rank Upper cultivation status, exhibiting terrifying sword skills, sword intent, and bloodline talent.

In the past two months, he had turned Xiushui County upside down, previously, in collaboration with Tie Niu and Jia Dali, defeating the entire West Mountain County Army, which shocked the East State.

In fact, his rank could even be higher.

Sheen Zhou believed that Chu Xisheng’s strength was such that even entering the General List wouldn’t be excessive.

The criteria for entering the Qingyun List are being under eighteen years old, without any restriction on rank.

The rules first consider the age, years of cultivation—this determines a person’s talent in cultivation, followed by inherent talent, combat power, achievements, cultivation level, and so on.

Thus, on the Qingyun Lists of various states, there are many at the Eighth Rank among the top ten.

Si Huangquan, who had once been defeated by Chu Xisheng, now ranked twentieth on the Luo Province Qingyun List, thereby making it into the tail end of the Qingyun General List.

However, their age, mostly under fourteen, labeled as ‘Super Geniuses,’ all have the potential to enter the Earthly List within twenty years.

Chu Xisheng is at a disadvantage for being a bit older, and all his achievements occurred locally, not recognized by the Discussion Martial Arts General Building, hence his fame did not extend beyond the county or province.

Commander Sheen Zhou then flipped through the pages and found the article that the Debating Martial Arts Tower had invited Chu Xisheng to write—”Wind Chasing Saber Introduction.”

After reading the first page, he couldn’t help but smile.

His Chasing Wind Saber Technique was indeed of the Sixth Layer standard.

Such a shallow understanding of the Sword Tao, yet confident enough to publish an article in “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East Continent Records,” was utterly laughable.

—However, for Chu Xisheng’s current level, it was already quite good.

Sheen Zhou was lacking interest, but he still patiently continued to read.

And just moments later, Sheen Zhou’s expression gradually changed.

Having finished “Wind Chasing Saber Introduction,” Sheen Zhou put down the book, thoughtfully looking at Long Heng sitting opposite him: “What do you think?”

Recently, this person had often visited his mansion as the link between him and Shen Hao from Shangguan Family.

Sheen Zhou had accumulated too many grievances against both the Shangguan Family and the Long Family.

However, given the dire situation they were currently in, he had no choice but to act capriciously.

The three families must strengthen their contact to be able to counter the Iron Banner Gang.

“How should I put it?” Long Heng frowned, “His language is plain and concise, penetrative and easy to understand.

The article is also very down-to-earth, without any abstruse and profound content that is elusive and obscure.

It fully covers all aspects, no—it’s too comprehensive, without any weaknesses.

Simply, simply—”

He seemed unsure of how to describe it, and after pondering for a moment, he continued, “Nearly all the sword styles have reached the ideal state of the Sixth Layer of the Chasing Wind Saber, representing the highest standard at this level of the Wind Chasing Saber.

Given that this article is published, it will surely be revered as the standard by countless low-level martial cultivators practicing the Chasing Wind Saber!”

Sheen Zhou slightly nodded, his expression complex, “Indeed so comprehensive that it’s startling.

Every move, every style, has reached the pinnacle of this level.

This shows his solid fundamentals.

In terms of the Wind Chasing Saber, there is none his equal in the world.

His comprehension was already terrifying, and yet he still had the patience to polish his fundamentals.”

Long Heng was no longer interested.

No matter how comprehensively or perfectly Chu Xisheng practiced the Wind Chasing Saber, he was still only at the Sixth Layer.

Studying Chu Xisheng’s sword technique offered no help in solving their current predicament.

“Let’s talk about West Mountain,” Long Heng said distractedly as he sipped his tea.

“What does Lord County Captain think about the situation with the West Mountain hunters?

I heard that things have been pretty difficult there in recent days.

The Iron Banner Gang, deeply supported by tens of thousands of dockworkers, tugboat persons, and ship builders from Xiushui County, is becoming terribly fearsome.

If those six thousand hunters also come under their control, our situation will only become more difficult.”

“No ideas come to mind.”

Sheen Zhou sighed.

He looked a bit listless due to some injuries in his Primordial Qi from a recent battle with the Iron Madman.

“Dan Family has set up checkpoints, sealing off three trade routes.

All kinds of supplies like grain, vegetable oil, vinegar, cloth, etc., cannot be delivered to Jiudao Dock or White Cloud Village, and we even can’t get our private salt through.”

Long Heng slightly nodded, his brow furrowed, “I’ve heard about that too.

It’s said that not only these three trade routes in West Mountain, but also two waterways from Jiudao Dock and White Cloud Village heading towards Shenxiu River, have been blocked by the warships of the Iron Banner Gang.

Additionally, including One-Armed Blade Li Cang and a few black-market figures who fence goods for the West Mountain bandits, recently have been slain one by one by Chu Xisheng.

These days, the entire Ancient Market is in turmoil, and all the shops dare not engage in business with the West Mountain bandits.”

Sheen Zhou’s expression remained calm, his tone even, “These merchants seem to be compelled by Chu Xisheng, forced to cooperate, but in reality, they are going with the flow, ignoring my orders.

But in recent years, the power of Jiudao Dock has grown greatly, and they have robbed too much on the trade routes of West Mountain, indeed inciting public wrath.

Their current situation is thus particularly difficult.”

As he knew, the bandits in West Mountain couldn’t sell their loot or buy essentials like firewood, rice, oil, or salt.

Chu Xisheng chose the timing well, just after the New Year when supplies were low everywhere.

Although Chu Xisheng had blocked West Mountain for only a few days, it had already shown its effectiveness.
