If this woman has no issues, we have nothing to worry about.

But if she’s also here for the God-defying Flagpole, she certainly won’t stand by and watch me die at the hands of others.”

Chu Yunyun’s eyebrows arched, her expression showing understanding.

If Chu Xisheng were to die, where would these snitches find clues about the God-defying Flagpole?

Meanwhile, on the northern side of Daning City, there was a series of caverns excavated beneath the ground.

The brothers Hu Kan and Hu Lai sat face to face in a narrow cave chamber, looking gravely at a letter in front of them.

The letter had been forwarded to them via the channel of Wo Meiniang by Chu Xisheng.

It contained friendly inquiries about their wellbeing and then casually requested their help to boost his reputation.

Along with the letter, one hundred named silver notes with a face value of a hundred taels each were sent, which could be directly exchanged for silver at the ‘World Bank’ within the city.

“Wealth sways the heart!

I never used to think so, but now, I truly understand,” said Hu Lai as he exhaled a sigh.

It’s difficult to make a living in the Capital City.

After staying here for nearly half a year, the brothers found their finances tight.

The money from Chu Xisheng was like timely help during a snowstorm!

Hu Lai then looked across, “Brother, after taking someone’s money, it’s only right to do their bidding.

In my opinion, Junior Brother Chu’s Sword Skill and talent are certainly good enough for him to be selected for this year’s ‘Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers.'”

This was a gimmick of Tianji Pavilion, which selects ten young Swordmen under eighteen with outstanding talent every three years, known as “Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers.”

These selected Swordmen all hail from the Divine Continent, blessed with spirit and talent; hence they are called “Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers,” the future seeds of Sword Tao.

There are also Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsmen, Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Boxers, and so on, an endless variety.

Moreover, since the majority of the “Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers” chosen by Tianji Pavilion in the past had made it onto the Earthly List, their selections are highly credible.

Each time Tianji Pavilion begins its selection, it attracts the attention of countless Martial Cultivators around the world.

“The problem is that the lowest standard for the Shenxiu Ten Masters is to be in the top ten of the lists for each state.”

Hu Kan, with half-closed eyes, fell into contemplation, “Junior Brother Chu defeated Si Huangquan a few months ago, and now Si Huangquan ranks ninety-ninth on the Qingyun General List.

With several months passed, Junior Brother Chu’s strength must have improved a lot, especially since he has also undergone his first Blood Burning Ritual.

His ranking on the East State Qingyun List is probably understated.

Even so, his entry into the Shenxiu Ten Masters would still be a stretch, but—”

His gaze flickered subtly, “Let’s go, we should speak with the workshop master about this.”

He led the way, walking into a secluded tunnel.

Although the name Tianji Pavilion has ‘pavilion’ in it, due to the oppression from the court, it now had to hide in an underground cavern complex beneath the Capital City.

Tianji Pavilion has five districts—East, South, West, North, and Central—responsible for the affairs of the Thirty-Six States.

Hu Kan and his brother both served in the East District.

Their workshop master, a man in his thirties with a refined and elegant appearance, listened to the brothers’ intentions.

He then went over to a bookshelf and began to search through all the documentation related to Chu Xisheng.

“Include Chu Xisheng in the Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers?

What were you thinking?

This young man is ranked twenty-ninth on the East State Qingyun List, and at almost sixteen, his cultivation is only at Eighth Rank Upper.

Hmm, he indeed defeated Si Huangquan, but it was before Si Huangquan recovered his lung.

The ‘Iron Asura’ now is far more powerful than he was several months ago.”

“Sir, Si Huangquan may have retrieved his lungs, but Chu Xisheng has also undergone a Blood Burning Ritual.

According to our intelligence, it seems all his Bloodline Talents have been enhanced.

Even after the Blood Burning Ritual, in all the battles Chu Xisheng has fought, no one has managed to push him to reveal his true strength!

No one knows the limit of his Sword Speed,” Hu Kan said, bowing with a fist and a sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

“Also, of the eight confirmed members for this year’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, all are from the Northern Lands and the Heluo Two States.

Not a single person from the fifteen states in the south has been selected.

Master, don’t you think this is inappropriate?”

The East District Master was taken aback, sinking into deep thought.

The Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual naturally must be based on credibility.

But beyond that, they also had to consider the sales of each issue.

If not even one person from the south is included in the Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers, then the Martial Cultivators from the south will grow increasingly disinterested in the selection.

He could not help but focus again, looking at the materials in his hands about Chu Xisheng.

Could it be feasible?

The young man’s cultivation might be somewhat lacking, but since Chu Xisheng is from East State, there’s little chance of him encountering other Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers, so there’s no worry about him being exposed.
