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

Chapter 77 The Person Being Pushed Away

Shen Qingshan took two steps forward and pressed his hand on the waiter's neck to feel it for a moment before turning around and saying, "Cousin, he's dead."

As he spoke, Shen Qingshan couldn't help but glance at the broken pieces of wine glass on the ground, a look of fear on his face.

If Shen Ping'an had not taken action earlier, the glass of wine would have probably gone into his stomach.

Qu Feiyan took a deep breath as she looked at the black blood on the waiter's arms.

"Such a domineering poison."

Smelling the scent lingering in the air, Shen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This poison is called Wutou Duanchangsan. It kills the throat instantly and is naturally very powerful."

Qu Feiyan squatted in front of the waiter and said with some dissatisfaction: "This guy just puffed up his cheeks. I thought he was in pain because his arms were cut off by the young master. I didn't expect he had poison in his mouth. He is really cruel to himself."

After thinking for a moment, Qu Feiyan asked, "Young Master, could the person who arranged this guy to poison you be the same person who delivered the "Great Shift of the Universe" last night?"

Although the following words were not spoken, the meaning was clear.

Shen Pingan shook his head and said, "If you wanted to poison someone, the parchment scroll from yesterday would have been the best carrier for the poison. Why wait until today?"

After all, a lower-grade heavenly martial art would pique some interest even among masters of the Tiangang realm or even the Tianren realm.

If they were really from the same party and smeared the poison on the parchment scroll, it would definitely make it easier for Shen Pingan and the others to fall victim to it.

"That's right!" Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and nodded: "Then who is it that wants to harm us?"

Shen Pingan said in a deep voice: "From the time I showed my strength until now, even though I have had conflicts with Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi, at present, these two people are not my real enemies."

"Given their situations, they won't set their sights on me right now."

"After thinking about it, the only thing I can think of is what happened on Guangmingding Peak yesterday."

Shen Qingshan asked, "Cousin, are you saying the person who poisoned you is from the Yuan Dynasty?"

Shen Pingan said in a slightly cold tone: "It's possible, but it's not likely."

After all, including Pang Ban, thousands of people from the Yuan Dynasty died at the hands of Shen Ping'an on Guangmingding.

Even if some of the people brought by Zhao Min have not appeared at Guangmingding, it is unlikely that these people would have the courage to cause trouble for Shen Pingan after knowing the news.

Therefore, in Shen Ping'an's opinion, the one who poisoned today should be another force.

But what Shen Ping'an couldn't understand was why the other party poisoned him?

However, after thinking for a long time, Shen Pingan was unable to come to a reasonable conclusion.

After all, there is too little information available now.

Trying to figure out the real culprit based on limited information is nothing but a pipe dream.

"Forget it. If there's a first time, there's bound to be a second time. As long as the other party keeps attacking, they'll eventually reveal their true colors."

"You all need to be careful in the next few days. Don't drink or eat anything without my permission, lest the other party poison you secretly."

Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, it is suitable to go on outings but not to hold burials.

The weather in May is already noticeably hot, and the chirping of cicadas hiding in some trees makes this summer even more noisy.

Outside Tai'an City.

As Shen Pingan and others got off the carriage, Shen Qingfeng immediately ran from the Wudang team to Shen Pingan's side.

"Cousin!"

At the same time, Song Yuanqiao also took the initiative to greet Shen Pingan.

"Master Shen."

In response to Song Yuanqiao's greeting, Shen Ping'an nodded slightly.

"This time, I have to bother Sect Leader Song."

Song Yuanqiao responded, "Young Master Shen saved us this time, so we should be grateful to him. Moreover, it is a great honor for Wudang that a swordsmanship genius like him is willing to visit us. It is something we have been longing for, so why bother with him?"

As he spoke, Song Yuanqiao also had a smile on his face.

This time, the siege of Guangmingding by the six major sects was full of twists and turns.

Over the past few days, not only the disciples of Wudang Sect felt scared when they recalled what happened on Guangmingding, but even Song Yuanqiao felt the same.

After coming down from the Ming Cult, the Wudang Sect had more than a dozen carriages filled with money and a box of secret manuals.

Money moves people's hearts.

Not to mention the millions of taels of silver.

The Ming Dynasty is not safe now.

In the underworld, there are even more powerful robbers like the Twelve Stars who specialize in robbery. If you encounter one, even Song Yuanqiao will be in great danger.
Now that Shen Ping'an is willing to return to Wudang with them, how can Song Yuanqiao not be happy?

Shen Pingan smiled and said, "My brother has studied martial arts in Wudang for many years. It is reasonable for him to return to Wudang."

After some small talk, Shen Pingan returned to the carriage.

Close your eyes lightly and let the true energy in your body flow slowly.

As for the other Wudang disciples, they also set off towards Wudang after the carriage started moving.

However, everyone did not know that in the woods ten feet away from their official road, there were a few people watching them quietly.

After the Wudang disciples and the two carriages disappeared from sight, the masked man turned his head and looked at Bai Xiaosheng beside him.

"how?"

Bai Xiaosheng stroked his white beard and nodded, "He has an extraordinary temperament and a handsome face, even more handsome than that Jade Man Jiang Feng. Even compared to me when I was young, his appearance and temperament are not much inferior."

As if he had not expected Bai Xiaosheng to give such a reply, the masked man could not help but be stunned and did not react for a short time.

After a while, the masked man's voice with a hint of helplessness came out from under the mask.

"You're already this old, so don't be so shameless."

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, then gazed into the distance in deep thought. "Three years ago, you were tempted by prey and deliberately suppressed your cultivation to fight Pang Ban. But given equal cultivation levels, even if you wanted to win within a hundred moves, it would be difficult."

"But even this powerful magician, despite using all his strength, couldn't block this man's sword."

After a pause, Bai Xiaosheng added, "And this is even before he uses his own weapons. This strength is indeed somewhat shocking."

"If it's true what he said on Bright Summit, that the sword he launched at Pang Ban was only 30% of the power of a weapon, then this boy's strength is probably comparable to the third or even fourth level of the Heavenly Man Realm."

"Even I, an old man, probably wouldn't dare to take it head-on."

The masked man nodded first, then changed the subject.

"What do you think about waiting a few years until I'm gone and letting him take over my position?"

After these words were spoken, Bai Xiaosheng fell silent, which was unusual for him.

After a moment, Bai Xiaosheng finally shook his head and said, "Although your illness is serious, it won't kill you in just a few years. It's too early to think about looking for someone to take your place now."

A light laugh came from beneath the man's mask.

"If the ineffectiveness of medicine isn't considered serious, then what other illness in this world is considered serious? I know my own body well, and I know it can only hold out for three years at most."

After saying this, the masked man continued to look at Bai Xiaosheng.

"With your intelligence, it's impossible that you couldn't guess what I was thinking. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to investigate him for so long."

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng sighed softly.

"In terms of talent, bearing, and even strength, this person is truly the best choice. I'm afraid no one in the world of his age can match him."

"And this time on Guangmingding, when facing Pang Ban, Zhao Min and other people from the Yuan Dynasty, he was even more decisive and ruthless in his killing, without any hesitation."

"Since I've used the words 'Young Master, Unparalleled in the World' to describe him, that's enough to show my opinion of him."

"To be honest, even you are far inferior to him."

Hearing this, the masked man was not angry but happy, and his tone became a little more cheerful.

"That's why I want to give this courage to him! After all, if the Grand Chief of the Azure Dragon Society isn't someone of extraordinary talent, how can he suppress the other Chiefs?"

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Although you have this intention, he may not be interested."

"This boy may seem gentle, but in reality, he is a hundred times more arrogant than an ordinary person. Furthermore, given his talent, even though the Azure Dragon Society is strong, he may not take them seriously."

However, the masked man shook his head and said, "Sometimes, people don't have that many choices. In the martial arts world, there are many people who are pushed around. Even I was in this position. Wasn't it the trend of the times that brought me to this position?"

"I didn't expect that I would meet such a suitable person at this time."

"In this case, the next plan can be changed."

Bai Xiaosheng's cloudy eyes flashed: "You want him to participate?"

The masked man shook his head and said, "What I want is a clean, upright leader of the Qinglong Society who stands tall in the martial arts world, not one like me, hiding in the dark all day long."

"Letting him get involved will dirty his clothes."

"However, it can help us to have more audiences for what we do."

After saying that, the masked man slowly turned around. As he turned around, a few strands of his waist-length silver hair suddenly floated up and fell to the ground.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng's gaze fell on these silver hairs, an invisible force suddenly appeared.

After wrapping these silver hairs, they instantly turned into powder.

Taking in this scene, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh softly.
