Invincible!

Chapter 13 Morality
Zhang Yunsheng and Bai Zhanfeng exchanged blows on the dueling platform, their fight both exciting and impressive.

To Li Xian's surprise, many people around him were cheering for the two of them.

"Truly worthy of being a disciple of Master Zhang, the Pagoda-Bearing Hand. His 'Crane Among the Pines' technique is ethereal and unpredictable. If he had launched a surprise attack with this technique at the very beginning, who would have been able to react?"

"Bai Zhanfeng is no less formidable. His Snow Fiend Blade is brimming with murderous intent, each strike deadly and leaving no room for breath! Ordinary martial artists would likely be easily intimidated by his ferocious aura upon first meeting him, unable to unleash even 70% of their full power, and ultimately defeated in a very short time! It's just a pity that he encountered Zhang Yunsheng, who comes from a prestigious family and has a very solid foundation."

"Zhang Yunsheng is said to be only twenty-four years old? If he can undergo a complete transformation and rejuvenation in the next five years, becoming flawless, he might even be able to compete for a place on the Hidden Dragon List! I think, given time, he will definitely have a place on the Hidden Dragon List!"

These discussions weren't just happening in various parts of the crowd, but even...

The two men who were having a long conversation were right next to Li Xian.

This made Li Xian involuntarily glance at the two of them.

He really wanted to ask how much money Master Zhang, the Pagoda-Bearing Hand, had given them to boast so enthusiastically.

After the two fought for dozens of rounds on the dueling platform, the Blood Fiend Blade, whose moves were already worn out, was finally caught out by the Pine Breeze Sword.

As he switched from defense to offense, the Thirteen Swords of Pine Breeze thrust out one after another, each sword strike linked together in countless variations, ultimately breaking through the defense of Bai Zhanfeng, the Blood Fiend Blade.

Blood splattered.

Bai Zhanfeng's arm was pierced by a sword, and the intense pain made him unable to even hold his sword, causing him to be defeated.

After becoming the victor, Zhang Yunsheng did not kill all the remaining enemies, but simply cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concession."

"Young Master Zhang's swordsmanship is superb, showing the demeanor of a master. Bai Zhanfeng is ashamed to admit his inferiority."

Bai Zhanfeng returned the greeting, then picked up his knife, quickly left the dueling platform, and disappeared into the crowd.

Immediately, dozens of people among the hundred onlookers cheered at the same time.

"Good swordsmanship!"

"With this swordsmanship, once Young Hero Zhang undergoes his blood and marrow cleansing, he will surely have a place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

"I won't acknowledge that Young Master Zhang isn't among the top ten young masters in Jiangzhou!"

Various shouts rose and fell.

Many people who were originally relatively objective were also caught up in the cheering and couldn't help but join in.

Zhang Yunsheng became famous overnight.

Hundreds of people in the venue, and even hundreds more in the surrounding area, all remembered this name.

Looking at the lively scene, Li Xian felt that something was amiss.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Looking at Zhang Yunsheng, who was surrounded by a crowd like a star, and with people around him constantly shouting titles such as "Hidden Dragon List," "Top Ten Young Masters of Jiangzhou," and "Pine Breeze Swordsman," he vaguely felt that this fourth-realm martial artist...

Why does he seem more like a celebrity than a martial artist?

Just as everyone was cheering, a woman dressed in white, wearing mourning clothes, suddenly walked quickly from the side.

Before Zhang Yunsheng could react while surrounded by the crowd, the woman knelt down before him and said, "Yu Niang thanks Young Hero Zhang for speaking up for justice. When everyone else turns a blind eye to what has happened to the Xu family, there is still a young hero like Young Hero Zhang who is willing to speak up for the Xu family. The entire Xu family is extremely grateful. I am willing to offer up my Xu family's Blood Jade Skill and beg Young Hero Zhang, Great Hero Zhang, to uphold justice for my Xu family of thirty-four."

If you want to look good, wear mourning clothes.

The woman known as "Yu Niang" was already quite beautiful, and now, dressed in white with tears streaming down her face, her pitiful appearance quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Even the lively clamor that had just been there quieted down because of her kneeling.

However, this sudden change caused Zhang Yunsheng's expression to stiffen slightly, and he was momentarily at a loss.

Fortunately, someone whispered something to him, and he quickly realized what was happening. He hurriedly said, "Madam Yu, please get up. I only spoke up to reprimand Bai Zhanfeng because I couldn't stand his gossip."

"I've heard of the name of Zhang the Pagoda-Bearing Hero since I was a child. In the Mingyang area, who doesn't know that Hero Zhang is righteous and hates evil like poison?"

Xu Yuniang said with a sorrowful expression, "I know that the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang are fierce and powerful. If I rashly ask Master Zhang to step forward, it will surely bring great trouble to Master Zhang. Therefore, I dare not ask for too much... I only hope that Young Master Zhang can introduce me to the Sword Saint of Guangyuan through Master Zhang, so that I can tell the Sword Saint of Guangyuan about the injustice suffered by my Xu family."

After saying this, she bowed again, kowtowed to the ground: "I will forever remember this kindness."

"This……"

Zhang Yunsheng was immediately put in a bind.

He was just looking for an excuse to fight Xue Sha Dao, so he could use him as a stepping stone to rise to power. As for the Xu family's affairs...

He didn't want to get involved at all.

Who would have thought that this orphan of the Xu family would be so ungrateful, showering him with compliments in front of everyone and putting him on a pedestal.

It would be unreasonable for him to introduce Xu Yuniang to the Sword Saint of Guangyuan without informing his master.

But he knew in his heart that the Sword Saint of Guangyuan did not want to get involved in this mess, nor did he want to offend the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang for the sake of upholding justice.

If he really sent his master to take Xu Yuniang to the Canglang Sword Sect... he would not only offend the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang, but also the Guangyuan Sword Saint.

"The ground is cold, get up first."

Zhang Yunsheng forced himself to speak.

"Young Master Zhang, you...you've agreed? Yu Niang kowtows in gratitude for Young Master Zhang's great kindness..."

As Xu Yuniang spoke, she held up a manual: "The true manual of the Blood Jade Technique is in the box. This is the only gift my Xu family can offer as thanks. Please accept it, Young Hero Zhang."

Zhang Yunsheng glanced at the cultivation manual in the box and wanted to curse inwardly.

Who would want a trashy cultivation technique like Blood Jade Skill?
Besides, in order to get those martial arts masters to uphold justice for your Xu family, you distributed at least 80 or 100 Blood Jade Skills during the Sword Tournament. What are they worth now?

Suddenly, Zhang Yunsheng agreed with his opponent Bai Zhanfeng's statement.

This despicable person is just using moral blackmail!
"Ah."

At this moment, a martial artist in the crowd who seemed to dislike his pretentious attitude suddenly said, "Young Master Zhang, since you are willing to speak up for this weak woman, Xu Yuniang, why not go all the way and help her pass on her message?"

Her words also garnered approval from some people who sympathized with Xu Yuniang.

"Yes, Young Master Zhang, the entire Xu family of thirty-four was wiped out, with only her surviving. For the past half month, she has endured immense grief, running around seeking justice, but to no avail. Master Zhang has close ties with many prominent figures in Jiangzhou. As long as you speak up, why worry that no one will step forward to investigate the matter and bring justice to the Xu family's massacre?"

"Others may fear the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang, but would Master Zhang be afraid of them? Besides, Master Zhang is only introducing Xu Yuniang to the Sword Saint of Guangyuan. Whether or not he should intervene in the end is still up to the Sword Saint of Guangyuan, isn't it?"

Various voices rose up, gradually drowning out the calls for Zhang Yunsheng's titles such as "Hidden Dragon List," "Top Ten Young Masters of Jiangzhou," and "Pine Breeze Swordsman."

Seeing that more people were rushing over after hearing the news, Zhang Yunsheng had no choice but to say, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me first."

After saying that, without waiting for her to get up or not, he quickly headed towards Canglang Mountain.

Xu Yuniang wanted Zhang Yunsheng to give a clearer statement, but seeing how fast he was walking, she had no choice but to stand up and follow him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she believed that even if Zhang Yunsheng was angry with what she had done, he would not dare to do anything excessive to her in order to protect his reputation.

It was a farce, it came quickly and it went quickly.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Li Xian also witnessed a great spectacle and broadened his horizons.

However, just as he was about to leave, he noticed something.

After moving slightly closer, he quickly picked up a box that had been abandoned by someone.

The Xu family's Blood Jade Technique?

Is it really going to be discarded like trash?

Almost as soon as he picked up the Blood Jade Manual, a burly man next to him approached, seemingly wanting to ask for it.

But his companion pulled him back: "Let's go."

"It's a fairly well-known martial arts technique, shouldn't we take it back and have a look?"

"What's so interesting about it? This cultivation technique has been scattered everywhere for the past half month. You can easily find out more and copy a copy. Besides, why did Madam Xu scatter the Blood Jade Technique everywhere? Wasn't it to disgust the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang who destroyed the Xu family for trying to steal their Blood Jade Technique? If you take the technique and don't achieve anything, fine, but if you do, won't you immediately be targeted by the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang?"

His fellow martial artist quickly said, "Of course, whether the Xu family was wiped out by the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang is still under investigation. As you just saw, the Xu family lady is no pushover. One-sided accounts cannot be taken at face value. But this trouble involves the Thirteen Eagles of Luoyang. Even if there is only the slightest possibility, we should avoid getting involved if possible."

The burly man was somewhat indignant: "That guy dared to take away the cultivation technique..."

"Don't you have any sense of observation?"

The fellow martial artist quickly pulled the man away, saying, "That man walks steadily, breathes deeply, and exudes a divine aura. He must be a master of internal energy cultivation, far beyond our reach! You still want to ask him for his cultivation techniques? Are you just asking for trouble?"

"Internal cultivation of the lungs!? He looks young..."

The burly man was startled and turned to look at Li Xian, somewhat incredulous.

"Martial arts skills can be improved through practice, but if your eyesight is poor, you might offend someone you can't afford to offend and get killed on the spot. The Sword Tournament is full of strong fighters, so you must keep your eyes open!"

As the martial artist spoke, he pulled the burly man along and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Others who were somewhat interested in this manual quickly looked away.

It's not worth offending a young, unknown master of the Qi Refining Realm for a martial arts manual that's been scattered everywhere.

In this atmosphere, Li took the cultivation manual out of the box and began to look through it.

I watched for a moment...

He already understood why no one wanted this technique anymore.

"Wow, is this some kind of demonic art?"
