Perched beside the window, the creature appeared melancholic and lonely, with a glimmer of hope in its eyes as it gazed outside.

Seeing this, Chu Xisheng’s eyes dimmed.

He sighed softly, walked over to Little Flat Head, and gently stroked its head.

“Just bear with it a little longer.

Formless Divine Mountain is near the Northern Divine Continent.

It’s unlike Jiangnan, with vast skies and wide lands, sparsely populated and where you can roam freely across thousands of miles of ice plains.

When we get there, I’ll let you out for a few days to do whatever you want.”

Little Flat Head, however, disdainfully slapped away Chu Xisheng’s hand.

It turned back and bared its teeth at Chu Xisheng.

Chu Xisheng’s lips twitched, knowing Bai Xiaozhao was to blame for this trouble.

Recently, it was always Bai Xiaozhao fighting alongside him in battle.

This had made the little creature jealous, constantly sulking,

Chu Xisheng chuckled to himself, “You could also go hunting Giant Spirits with me.

This time, I won’t bring Little Zhao, just you alone.”

Little Flat Head then gave a soft harrumph, allowing Chu Xisheng to place his hand under its chin and gently caress it.

Soon afterward, Little Flat Head revealed a look of enjoyment.

This action was something Little Flat Head had learned from Bai Xiaozhao, and indeed, it found comfort in it.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ship, ‘Strange Blade Demon Craftsman’ Li Tiangong’s expression was becoming increasingly somber,

Several books lay in front of him.

They were the latest issues of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism,” “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East Continent Records,” “Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual,” and two special issues about Iron Banner Gang and Chu Xisheng released by “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism.”

As the event unfolded suddenly, Li Tiangong was unable to gather information about the young man from his own network of contacts.

So he directly sought out these publications.

Someone like Chu Xisheng would undoubtedly not be obscure; he was definitely a notable figure in “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” and “Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual.”

As expected, Li Tiangong found that Chu Xisheng was indeed well-known,

And to Li Tiangong’s surprise, this young man’s fame was prominent.

According to the latest supplement released by the East State Martial Arts Tower,

Chu Xisheng was now the top individual on the East State Qingyun List, ranked ninety-first on the Qingyun General List, and held the eighth position among Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, also having once been third on the East State Black List!

It was anticipated that when the new Qingyun List was published, Chu Xisheng’s rank would significantly rise.

Moreover, the young man had become the new Flag Leader of the Iron Banner Gang!

Li Tiangong marveled at the swift and unpredictable changes within Jianghu.

He hadn’t expected that someone as heroic as Iron Madman would die by the hands of Sikong Chan!

Even more surprising was that upon facing the crisis and taking over as Flag Leader, not only did the Iron Banner Gang not collapse, but it also managed to achieve several major victories over government forces and ultimately eliminated Sikong Chan, eradicating all scholars and gentry in Xiushui, avenging Iron Madman’s death.

As a result, Iron Banner Gang became a huge organization spanning both Xiushui and Xunyang counties, with over ten thousand gang members.

Chu Xisheng himself became a notorious figure during this period, as he was listed on the Black List and targeted by the combined forces of Killing Tower, Blood Bat Mountain, and Six Gates.

Forced to wage a guerrilla war in Taishan County, not only did he survive unharmed, but together with his subordinates, he also killed more than a dozen Fourth and Fifth Rank masters and dozens of Sixth Grade fighters, causing a stir across Jianghu.

This left ‘Strange Blade Demon Craftsman’ Li Tiangong feeling unsettled for a long while.

He had only gone to Penglai Eternal City to refine some magic artifacts, and in that time, the situation in Dongzhou had drastically changed.

Unbeknownst to him, such a Qingyun-listed Super Genius, a Jianghu heavyweight ruling over two counties, had suddenly risen in Dongzhou Martial World!

What’s more, this person was also a ‘Blood Vengeance Candidate’ and an Inner Sect Disciple of Formless Divine Sect!

Li Tiangong’s scalp tingled.

Indeed, such a figure was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Li Tiangong was certain that Treasure Pavilion selling the Twin Blades to Chu Xisheng was intended to make a spectacle out of him.

The former masters of the Golden Jade Marriage Sabers all had fifth-grade cultivation, but when it came to influence and background, none of the four could match Chu Xisheng.

Li Tiangong indeed had a superlative skill in artifact refining, capable of commanding those clever martial cultivators to work for him.

However, for someone like Chu Xisheng, even if he eliminated him, endless troubles would ensue.

One had to be extremely cautious with such a person.

Just as Li Tiangong was contemplating this, a knock at the door suddenly echoed from outside, followed by a clear and cold voice: “Is Master Li inside?

I, Zhu Kongming, request an audience.”

Zhu Kongming?

The Sixth Seat of Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, Zhu Kongming who holds the eighty-second spot on the Qingyun General List?

Li Tiangong surmised that this person must be here to request his services to forge a saber.

This individual was also about to become an inner disciple of a major sect and was very wealthy.

After pondering for a moment, Li Tiangong swept all the books in front of him into a drawer beside him and then sat down calmly.

“Come in, the door’s unlocked.”

Zhu Kongming immediately pushed the door open and entered.

He was about fifteen years old, around the same age as Chu Xisheng, with a heavy saber strapped to his back.

A headband fastened across his forehead, his facial features were chiseled, sharp, and angular.

His eyes were as piercing as a sword, making it difficult for others to look directly at him, exuding an aura of sharpness.

Upon entering, he didn’t salute Li Tiangong but instead stood at the door and asked directly, “I heard that not long ago, Master Li had a conflict with Chu Xisheng?”

“There was such an incident, why do you ask?”

Li Tiangong frowned deeply, wondering who the chatterbox was that spread the news so quickly.

Zhu Kongming’s lips turned coldly upward: “I also heard that in the past, you declared in the jianghu that anyone who dared to use the Golden Jade Marriage Sabers without your permission would have their life taken by you.

And now, those sabers are in Chu Xisheng’s hands.”

“That’s true indeed!”

Upon hearing this, Li Tiangong gave a snort of laughter: “What do you plan to do?

This person is an inner disciple of the Formless Divine Sect, and this here is the boat of Sanping Hermit.

Do you dare to kill him on this boat?”

“Sanping Hermit does not forbid martial contests.”

Zhu Kongming’s face was ice cold, his aura sharp: “I want to know if your word counts.

If it still does, I can engage him in a duel to the death, take care of him for you, and you’ll forge me a fine saber,”

Li Tiangong’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily, stiffening: “I’ve always stood by my word.

But do you realize what you’re saying?

Are you not afraid of the revenge from the Formless Divine Sect and Sanping Hermit?”

Are all the young people in the jianghu this reckless?

Not afraid of death at all?

“I am aware,” Zhu Kongming stated with a clear and rational gaze, chilling as a blade: “I am already a direct select candidate for the inner sect of Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City, I fear nothing.

As for dueling with Chu Xisheng, to determine victory and death, if I slay him fairly in the duel, what is there to fear?

If Sanping Hermit wants to use his power to bully the younger and deviates from the jianghu rules, then so be it!”

He then stared intently at Li Tiangong, his eyes burning with earnestness: “You know the risks I’m taking are huge, so I demand a fine saber, at least third-grade!”

If he could have a third-grade treasure sword, his strength might increase several fold!

It was worth staking his life for,

Zhu Kongming couldn’t help but swallow, pondering how to refuse.

Chu Xisheng was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Merely the thought of those mysterious experts by Chu Xisheng’s side warranted Zhu Kongming to maintain a healthy respect for them.

If something were to happen to Chu Xisheng, those men would undoubtedly take Zhu Kongming’s life!

Li Tiangong was peculiar but not foolish.

Seeing Li Tiangong’s eyes flicker, Zhu Kongming’s brow wrinkle with disdain, “Li Tiangong, aren’t you scared of that Chu Xisheng?

Say the word, does the declaration you made in the jianghu still stand?”

At this, a surge of qi-blood shot through Li Tiangong’s body, and he huffed coldly, “Nonsense!

Would I, Li Tiangong, fear a mere boy?”

No sooner had he spoken these words, Li Tiangong felt regret.

Hastily, he tried to add a qualifier: “However—”

Zhu Kongming didn’t give Li Tiangong the chance to add any qualifiers: “Then that settles it!”

Zhu Kongming immediately turned and stepped out of the room, then issued a thunderous roar that shook the entire boat.

“Is Xiushui Chu Xisheng present?

I am Zhu Kongming, the Sixth Seat of Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers.

I’ve heard of your recent impressive battle achievements, and you’re expected to enter the top eighty spots on the Qingyun General List, just ahead of me.

I am not convinced and wish to test the skills of Chu Yidao.

I wonder, would you dare to battle me in a life-and-death duel?”

At that moment, Chu Xisheng was lying down in his room, ready to enter dreams to study martial arts.

He was slightly startled, then immediately picked up the pair of Golden Jade Marriage Sabers and sprang up from the bed.
