Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 155 Blood debts can only be repaid with blood.

Gongzi Yu's name is prominently displayed on the Celestial Ranking under the Baixiaoge Pavilion.

However, compared to other masters on the Celestial Ranking, the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion provides very little information about Gongzi Yu.

It merely describes Gongzi Yu's cultivation level and strength, as well as his past deeds of killing some experts at the Celestial Realm and various martial arts forces.

There is not much information about the specific martial arts techniques that Gongzi Yu cultivates, or the forces behind him.

Therefore, almost everyone in the martial arts world believed that Gongzi Yu was a rogue cultivator and did not have any corresponding power behind him.

Who would have thought that Gongzi Yu's identity was actually the once-powerful leader of the Azure Dragon Society a hundred years ago?

Next, let's look at Bai Xiaosheng, who is accompanying Gongzi Yu.

The same thought popped into the minds of the three women simultaneously.

"The All-Knowing Scholar is actually connected to the Grand Leader of the Azure Dragon Society? Could it be that the All-Knowing Scholar..."

The moment this thought crossed their minds, all three of them felt a chill run down their spines.

It should be noted that Baixiaoge has been established for hundreds of years.

Centuries of operation have made the intelligence network established by Baixiaoge extremely powerful.

In terms of intelligence gathering capabilities, not to mention other forces in the martial arts world, even the imperial court cannot compare.

Even people from various sects and factions knew that the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion had spies within their ranks.

However, from the very beginning of its establishment, Baixiaoge has always been a neutral force and has never participated in the struggles and battles in the martial arts world.

They simply gather and record events that occur in the martial arts world through the intelligence network established by their disciples.

In addition, the various rankings and Jianghu Chronicles created by Baixiaoge allow people from all factions in the Jianghu to know about world affairs without even leaving their homes.

Only then did many forces in the martial arts world turn a blind eye to the existence of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion.

But now, Bai Xiaosheng has appeared together with Gongzi Yu, the head of the Azure Dragon Society, and their relationship seems quite close.

In other words, the current Baixiaoge may no longer maintain neutrality as it did before.

They may even have already joined the Azure Dragon Society.

The information contained here is not so simple.

His gaze darted back and forth between Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng, his mind racing with thoughts, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

However, neither Gongzi Yu nor Bai Xiaosheng paid any attention to the three women's reactions; their eyes were both fixed on Shen Ping'an.

Meeting Shen Ping'an's gaze, Gongzi Yu slowly said, "Since ancient times, blood debts can only be repaid with blood."

"Thirty years ago, under the siege of the imperial court and various forces, my Azure Dragon Society was almost wiped out."

"Thirty years later, when my Azure Dragon Society makes a comeback, it is only natural that the Divine Sword Manor should cease to exist."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an nodded and said, "Perfect, I'll leave the finishing touches to you."

Gongzi Yu laughed and said, "So this is why you were waiting here for us to come to your door?"

Shen Ping'an shook his head and said, "If we're not sure, I'm worried there might be some problems."

Gongzi Yu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's right! After all, we're facing a top-tier power, so it's always better to be cautious."

Immediately, Gongzi Yu said softly, "In that case, after we arrive at Divine Sword Manor, let's deal with Brother Shen's matter first. After Brother Shen's matter is resolved, I will take action."

Shen Ping'an glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and then slowly said, "You agreed so quickly. It seems that you started making preparations as early as my journey here."

Knowing Shen Ping'an's meaning, Bai Xiaosheng stroked his beard and chuckled, "After all, we don't know the exact time when you will make your move, so we can only be prepared."

Seeing this, Shen Ping'an said slowly, "Senior is indeed very thoughtful."

Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "If they had really thought things through, they wouldn't have only found out later that the people from Shenjian Villa had gone to the Shen family in Yuyang."

The implication is that this shows the unpredictability of life, and also reveals to Shen Ping'an that the events at Shenjian Villa were not orchestrated by Bai Xiaosheng and Gongzi Yu afterward.

Shen Ping'an replied, "Fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself. Since you dare to do it, you must bear the corresponding consequences."

Finally, Shen Ping'an did not continue on this topic, but looked at Gongzi Yu.

After a few breaths, Shen Ping'an asked, "Have you experienced any discomfort in the past few months since taking the medicine?"

When the topic turned to his own illness, Gongzi Yu's smile deepened.

"As you said before, although my appearance did not recover after taking the medicine, everything in my body was normal. It was only when I broke through my cultivation a month ago that I experienced that discomfort for a brief period of half an hour."

Upon hearing Gongzi Yu's words, Bai Xiaosheng's expression changed.

Clearly, he was unaware of this matter. In response, Shen Ping'an said calmly, "Your premature aging was caused by a qi deviation combined with the influence of the power of heaven and earth. It's normal for this to happen after your breakthrough."

Gongzi Yu asked, "So everything is alright?"

Shen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's alright! Just as we said, those medicines are enough to keep you healthy for three years. At most, you'll only experience some discomfort when you break through your cultivation level."

Gongzi Yu nodded in acknowledgment and did not ask any further questions.

This trust led Zhang San Niang, Yao Yue, and Lian Xing to think of other things.

As far as the three knew, Shen Ping'an had been cultivating at the Shen family in the capital for the previous ten years and had almost never set foot in the martial arts world.

However, after getting to know Shen Ping'an, it turned out that Shen Ping'an was extremely knowledgeable about things in the martial arts world.

They even know many secrets.

Just like before on Mount Hua, even Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Qi Sect, did not know that the lost martial arts of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were hidden on the Cliff of Contemplation, but Shen Ping'an did know.

The three women were curious about how Shen Ping'an knew these secrets.

But now, looking at Bai Xiaosheng and Gongzi Yu sitting opposite them, the three women realized why Shen Ping'an knew so much about the martial arts world.

Neither Shen Ping'an, Bai Xiaosheng, nor Gongzi Yu were people who dragged things out.

During a casual chat, the follow-up matters were already discussed and clarified.

After the time was set, Gongzi Yu suddenly glanced at Zhang Sanniang, Yaoyue, and Lianxing, who were standing next to Shen Ping'an.

After a moment's hesitation, Gongzi Yu said, "Next time we meet, I'll introduce someone to Brother Shen. Perhaps she can get along well with Brother Shen's three beauties."

Upon hearing what Gongzi Yu said, Shen Ping'an's thoughts stirred, and he immediately understood who Gongzi Yu was referring to.

He immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lianxing, who was standing to the side, lowered her head slightly as she listened to Gongzi Yu's description.

But out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yaoyue to the side.

Seeing that Yaoyue didn't mind or pay attention to her, Lianxing finally felt relieved. Then she secretly glanced at Shen Ping'an, her heart pounding like a deer.

Gongzi Yu smiled, slowly stood up, and said, "Now that the time has been set, I'll go and have people prepare."

After speaking, Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng nodded to Zhang Sanniang, Yaoyue, Lianxing, and the others.

Even the usually arrogant Yaoyue nodded slightly in response to their gestures.

As soon as the two left, a waiter brought a pot of wine into the room.

"This was specially prepared for you by the Great Dragon Head, please enjoy it."

After saying this, the waiter took a few steps back, turned around and went out, gently closing the door of the private room behind him.

After confirming that no one was outside, Lianxing couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that this waiter would also be a member of the Azure Dragon Society."

Yaoyue, standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, all the restaurants and inns, big and small, in Shanglin City have probably been replaced by people from the Azure Dragon Society or the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion."

"As soon as we enter Shanglin City, they will receive the news immediately, no matter which restaurant or inn we go to."

At this moment, Shen Ping'an suddenly shook his head.

"If that's the case, then we're seriously underestimating the Azure Dragon Society and the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion."

"To be precise, from the moment we left Yuyang City, our whereabouts were completely under their control. They even knew exactly what we ate and did in the cities along the way."

Recalling the descriptions of the Azure Dragon Society in the martial arts world a hundred years ago, as well as the intelligence network of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, the group realized that if Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to, they could indeed do it.

Take the waiter from earlier as an example.

There was no fluctuation of true energy within the other party's body, nor did they show any hostility towards them. Even Yaoyue and the others could not detect whether the other party was just an ordinary person or had another identity.

This is why the Azure Dragon Society was feared in the past.

Although the existence of the Azure Dragon Society is known throughout the martial arts world, very few people have actually seen it.

It's quite possible that the person you spend every day with is a member of the Azure Dragon Society.

It's also possible that the vendors who have been setting up stalls in front of your house for several years or even more than a decade are members of the Green Dragon Society.

This also made it seem as if the entire martial arts world was shrouded in the shadow of the Azure Dragon Society.

This makes the already dangerous world even more unsafe.
