Chapter 669: Chapter 63 Li Guanyi and Shaking Light’s Martial World_3

An indescribable pressure appeared at the bottom of his heart, making him speechless.

He just honestly stopped talking.

Even Gongsun Feixue, who had planned to open her mouth to scold, was puzzled. The Wan family was considered a Jianghu powerhouse almost at the same level as the Gongsun aristocratic family, and this Mr. Wan had always been arrogant, rarely this honest.

Only on Wan Mingyi’s forehead was a trace of sweat.

Just now, in that instant when he locked eyes with the young Taoist, for some reason, his heart thumped violently, and the air around seemed to press down. That feeling reminded him of his childhood; back then, he was only five or six years old when he went to meet a long-respected predecessor, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch of the Central Plains.

That kind of imperious and domineering aura had made him extremely compliant back then. Over a decade later, that feeling, like a nightmare, resurfaced, with the heart pounding even more terribly than when he had faced the previous generation’s Alliance Hierarch.

It was as if he wasn’t facing a young Taoist in a starched and slightly whitened Taoist robe, with a warm smile, polite and amiable.

But rather an overlord among heroes.

Gongsun Feixue introduced everyone. She truly didn’t know Li Guanyi’s identity. Elder Chen Chengbi, who had known Li Guanyi’s identity that day, ended up forcefully keeping his mouth shut and did not brag to Gongsun Wuyue.

Gongsun Feixue specially emptied an upper room for Shaking Light and asked Li Guanyi to take her there to rest, but the young girl didn’t want to stay there, feeling it was too stifling. Instead, she stayed outside, following closely behind Li Guanyi without a step’s distance.

Li Guanyi chatted casually with Gongsun Feixue and asked:

"Miss Gongsun, are you here to enjoy the scenery?"

Gongsun Feixue said, "Not really, partly to visit a few friends and conduct some business for Piaomiao Pavilion, and also because there is a rather significant event happening in the Martial World. Does Pharmacist know about it?"

Li Guanyi said, "Sword Madman challenging the entire world?"

The younger generation of the Martial World remained silent.

Gongye Boxu, who had previously prepared to lower the boat to pick up Li Guanyi and Shaking Light, said, "Well, that’s correct. The world is so vast, what could be bigger than this? But, well..."

He huffed and puffed for a long time before saying, "This matter is indeed too big."

The young man smiled wryly, "For such a matter, the participants are all this grandmaster and that elder. I once saw a swordsman, just by the way he held the sword, I knew that I could never attain his level in my lifetime."

"He is the strongest swordsman within a thousand miles, gripping a sword at eight, defeating his father at thirteen, leaving his master at sixteen, already the strongest in one province by twenty-one, renowned on both sides of the great river at thirty, and now at fifty-seven, he has profound power."

"With all his might, he only left a hair-thin mark on the Green Jade Tablet at The World’s First Building."

Gongye Boxu sighed, "In my eyes, he is already one of the most extraordinary and talented figures among the Martial World’s swordsmen, undefeated in his lifetime, only having the right to face Sword Madman in battle."

"Even so, he said that it is his descendants that must envy him."

Gongye Boxu candidly said, "It’s the alliance of Martial World sects and thirty-three aristocratic families within three thousand miles, electing the new Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch for the next five years. I heard that several Martial Arts Grandmasters are coming."

"But this time, it seems that Sky-reaching Sect also plans to get involved."

Li Guanyi said, "Oh, is that so."

The young Taoist apologized, "Such a significant event, and I’ve been indeed unaware."

"It’s alright. Mr. Li is a disciple of a Taoist Elder and the Sacrificial Wine Master. Suddenly returning to the Martial World, I see you are likely headed to the Academy. As an Academy disciple, it’s only natural for you to be concerned about the major events about to happen there," Gongye Boxu said.

Li Guanyi responded, curious to know, "Miss Gongsun Feixue is the Master of Piaomiao Pavilion, may I know what kind of business Piaomiao Pavilion does?"

Gongsun Feixue smiled freely, "You can just call me Feixue, World Brother."

"As for my Piaomiao Pavilion’s business, please take a look."

She stretched out her hand and grabbed something from her waist; it was an iron mechanical device, similar to a crossbow. However, the side where the crossbow arrows were stored was a large box. She aimed at the water beside her and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A very crisp sound.

No less than nine crossbow arrows shot out, spreading out in midair, covering an area of dozens of meters in radius.

"This is our Flying Feather Crossbow. It can shoot nine arrows at once. Each arrow’s force is slightly weaker than that of a single-shot crossbow, at seventy percent of the strength, but the covered area is vast."

Sparks appeared in Li Guanyi’s eyes as he praised:

"What a marvelous thing!"

Gongsun Feixue smiled and placed the crossbow in Li Guanyi’s hands, "For just five hundred taels of silver, you can own one. It’s a must for traveling in the Martial World, truly a fine weapon. Even an ordinary person can kill an Entering Realm martial artist if they catch them off guard."

"It’s very popular with traveling merchants who have no martial arts skills."

The young Taoist’s eyes twitched, "How much?!!"

Gongsun Feixue smiled beautifully, holding out her palm, "Five hundred taels."

Li Guanyi took a sharp intake of breath.

No, was making such mechanical contraptions so profitable in these chaotic times?!

Gongsun Feixue took out another item and said, "This kind of Flying Feather Crossbow is popular among those without martial arts. As for martial artists with quick reactions and strong physiques, they prefer another type."

She pulled out a crossbow, aimed it at the water, and pulled the trigger.

After one crossbow arrow flew out, there was no stopping; a second arrow launched as well.

With one breath, nine arrows shot out.

It was a Mechanical Crossbow.

Li Guanyi’s eyes lit up, "If this item could be mass-produced, that would be great." As he said this, the young wrestlers around him all froze, and Gongsun Feixue’s smile did not change. She simply replied:
