(Please Subscribe) Chu Xisheng, when he hastened his mount out of the Xiushui County City Gate, had been frowning the entire time.

He had already sent a token to Wo Meiniang, but had yet to receive a response.

However, Chu Xisheng inherently felt that Zuo Qingyun’s situation was very grim.

The Zuo family was wealthy, with Zuo Qingyun alone possessing a fortune of hundreds of thousands of silver.

They weren’t any extreme criminals, even if they were dismissed and being questioned by the court, they still held the status of officials and gentry, yet they were still detained in the most squalid bottom layer of the county prison.

This indicated that money truly wasn’t very effective, and silver was of no use, let alone the backing of the Zuo family.

Those police from the Heavenly Court also posed a significant problem.

They treated Chu Xisheng with a pleasant demeanor, greeting him with smiles.

Yet, Chu Xisheng could not see a hint of warmth in their eyes.

They were still on guard against the prison guards, handling the affairs of the Zuo family themselves without the involvement of others.

When Chu Xisheng was talking and drinking with Zuo Qingyun, these men closely monitored the entire process, extremely vigilant.

Chu Xisheng even caught several of their warning glances towards Zuo Qingyun a few times.

Yet, why would these police from the Heavenly Court, who clearly harbored ill intent towards the Zuo family, be accommodating in allowing him to meet with Zuo Qingyun?

“Xisheng!”

Chu Xisheng’s train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice.

He looked up to see, at the front of the city gate, Ye Zhiqiu riding a horse and waving at him.

Beside her were Jian Cangfeng and another man wearing a blue Daoist robe, tall and with a cold, chiseled visage, a sorcerer in his thirties.

These two were also looking towards him from afar.

Chu Xisheng was startled for a moment, then advanced to meet them.

“Instructor!

Sword Inspection Envoy!”

Chu Xisheng greeted them from horseback with a fist salute from afar.

The other person, Chu Xisheng did not recognize.

But simply from the sorcerer’s attire and demeanor, Chu Xisheng knew this person held an extraordinary identity, likely a high-ranking figure from the Formless Divine Sect.

Among the three, it seemed as though the sorcerer was the leader, with Ye Zhiqiu and Jian Cangfeng accompanying him.

“This is a special envoy from the Formless Mountain, the true inheritor of our sorcery, Zong Lingshu,” Ye Zhiqiu introduced the two.

“Senior Brother Zong, this is Chu Xisheng you were looking for, the West Mountain Hall Master of the Iron Banner Gang, and now considered a significant figure of Jianghu in Xiushui County, who will also be our future Disciple.”

When Ye Zhiqiu mentioned ‘significant figure of Jianghu,’ her words were tinged with a hint of teasing.

She then turned to Chu Xisheng with a smile, “It’s quite a coincidence.

We were just preparing to head to West Mountain Town to find you, and yet, here we meet.”

A flicker of puzzlement crossed Chu Xisheng’s mind.

What were these three doing looking for him in West Mountain?

His face, however, wore a serious expression as he respectfully bowed, “Disciple has seen Special Envoy Zong!

May I ask why the envoy seeks me?”

Zong Lingshu smiled slightly and with his mana, helped Chu Xisheng straighten up, “Master Chu, no need for excessive formalities.”

In front of him was a youth ranked among the top contenders in the East State Qingyun List, whose Vengeful Blade Intent had just begun to reach a proficient level, and who had the potential to be directly selected into the Inner Sect of the Formless Divine Sect, with a great future ahead.

Thus, Zong Lingshu treated Chu Xisheng with an extra measure of courtesy.

He spoke warmly, explaining the purpose, “This time I’m seeking Master Chu for a task on behalf of our sect.

Have you, Master Chu, heard of the recent incident at Formless Mountain, the phenomenon of the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade’ taking form?”

Chu Xisheng’s eyes lit up slightly, his interest piqued, “I have heard some rumors.

It is said that two months ago the weapon of the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade Lord,’ the ‘Blood Vengeance Divine Blade,’ resonated through the night, its sword qi soaring dozens of feet into the sky, and that the blade intent took form, turning into the Divine Beast Vengeance, roaring across a thousand mountains.”

Of course, he had heard of this event.

It was even mentioned in an article in the latest issue of “Debating Martial Arts.”

It just so happened that when the Blood Vengeance Blade resonated, that was the same night he and Chu Yunyun had captured two Killing Spirits.

At this thought, Chu Xisheng’s heart skipped a beat.

He had guessed the purpose of these three coming to find him.

They were likely searching for the successor to the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.’

And two months ago, Chu Yunyun had said he was already qualified to cultivate the ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade.’

This meant that today, he might have the chance to rise to the top, directly entering the Formless Divine Sect as the successor to the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.’

“Roaring across a thousand mountains?

Did you read about it in the latest issue of ‘Debating Martial Arts’?”

Zong Lingshu chuckled dismissively, “The rumors are true, but the claim of roaring across a thousand mountains is an exaggeration.

However, the Vengeful Blade Intent did cover an area of a hundred li at that time.

This is the Divine Skill left by the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord on the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade,’ specifically to sense those in the world who are qualified to inherit his ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade.’ I, in the service of the Sect’s orders, have come to East State to seek the person who has the qualifications to inherit the legacy of the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.'”

“Master Chu, you are ranked twenty-ninth on the East State Qingyun List, and not long ago, you combined forces with others, using the Vengeful Blade Intent to oppose a thousand men.

This shows your Vengeful Blade Intent is already of a masterful level, and you possess a great talent for this blade technique.

Hence, I further sought you out to see if you are the person sensed by the ‘Blood Vengeance Blade.’

He then produced a magic artifact shaped like a jade plate and, with a solemn expression, said to Chu Xisheng, “Master Chu, may I take a drop of your essence blood?

I need to use your essence blood to perform a secret technique to identify if your bloodline talent is a match for the ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade.’

Chu Xisheng’s eyebrows rose slightly, and he immediately extended his hand.

“Of course!”

Although the other party’s words came across as a question, the tone was definitive, and the demeanor was very assertive, clearly leaving no room for refusal.
