I am a living immortal.

Chapter 339 Return to the Jianghu

"Ahhhhh!!"

The feeling of being suspended in mid-air while falling at high speed made Chen Tao cry out once again. When you think the old goat is serious, you don't know that he is just trying to make you let down your guard.

The moment Chen Tao touched the land, his legs went limp and his body touched the ground first. After a few breaths, his soul finally returned.

I can only say that if you want to talk about the worst, you have to look at the old goat.

The old goat chuckled, very satisfied with Chen Tao's reaction. He didn't have any profound words at all, he just wanted to play around.

Then he said, "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

He didn't ask how the other party found him. He wasn't hiding, and if he couldn't be found, he wouldn't be an intelligence officer anymore.

Chen Tao took a long time to recover. He was still dazed and his mind was in a mess. He had just felt like he was going to die, and his distrust of the old goat made this feeling doubled.

Chen Tao slowly stood up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and finally calmed down a little. He said, "The martial arts conference will start tomorrow, and I came to inform you. I originally thought you would miss it, but now it seems that it is just a coincidence."

"There's one more thing. The prince seems to have signed you up. He seems to be unwilling to believe in evil and thinks he can defeat you. Or maybe it's his pride that's getting the better of him."

"What do you think?"

"Yes, I will. I actually want to see what level Yu Chao's martial arts is at."

"What do you think?" Chen Tao knew that Old Goat was definitely not Yu Chao's man, so he was very curious about what Yu Chao looked like in the eyes of such a person. In his impression, he was pretty good.

Unexpectedly, the old goat shook his head and said, "Not very good."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" This is very surprising.

"My country, purely from a martial arts perspective, is not as good as Yu Country. And although both of them have the title of Grandmaster, their strengths are worlds apart."

"Are you talking about yourself?"

"No, I'm no longer in the Grandmaster category. I'm talking about others."

Chen Tao no longer cared about the old goat's pretense at this time: "Is the gap that big?"

"Yes, let's talk about the top ones."

"Of the three Grandmasters I've met and know, all have already reached a level beyond Grandmaster. One wields a spear, using powerful swings and movements, similar to Wang Chu, who wields the sword, but he's even more powerful. Beneath these powerful swings lies a deft touch, coupled with a relentless pursuit of the martial arts. A pinnacle strike between him and another Grandmaster even razed everything within a kilometer to the ground, and that was merely the aftermath of that pinnacle strike."

"The second Grandmaster came from an official organization similar to the Third Yamen. He was skilled in palm techniques and was rumored to have broken through his original realm decades ago."

"There's another person I haven't met, but I've heard he's reached the point of using martial arts to achieve enlightenment. He's definitely stronger than me, who only uses martial arts. Much, much stronger."

"this…………"

Chen Tao didn't understand what kind of freak martial arts world this was. From what he saw, the old goat was already incredibly tall, with the kind of true energy and control that could lift a person to the sky. Now telling him that there were people better than him in martial arts was really a bit absurd.

"Actually, I also think the Yan Dynasty is a bit of an anomaly. Not only did it produce figures like Su Mu, but all kinds of geniuses emerged one after another. From what I've seen, there are at least three. I thought this was common in other countries, but... I've traveled to several countries, and I've found that this doesn't seem to be the norm."

"Yan State?"

"Yes, that's mine, and Su Mu's country. If you have the chance, maybe you can go and take a look. I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know what that country has become. But as far as the martial arts world is concerned, it really can't be compared."

The old goat finished speaking and patted the other party: "Let's go, we should go and take a look at the site that has been built for so long."

After saying that, he left.

Chen Tao thought about it, his eyes suddenly brightening. "Yan Dynasty," he repeated these two words over and over, the place seeming like a dreamland, constantly buzzing in his ears. He was a member of the Yu Dynasty, but whether it was the Jianghu before, or the Jianghu that might be controlled by the imperial court in the future, it seemed very boring. He knew every person and every move here, so he had long lost his passion for the Jianghu. But as mentioned before, Chen Tao was a pure Jianghu person, so he yearned for a greater Jianghu.

But he had no direction and never dared to take that step. But at this moment, the world of martial arts described by the old goat continued to attract him and echoed in his mind.

In just a few steps, his eyes changed. No one knew what he was thinking in those few steps, nor did anyone know what decision he had made. He followed the old goat to the venue carefully prepared by the prince. He thought he should take another look at this world that had once fascinated him.

…………

The old goat had no idea that his casual words had aroused Chen Tao's yearning for the martial arts world. The two walked quickly, and the newly built grand venue was not in the city. After all, there was no vacant space in the city for it.

But we couldn't be careless, as this was an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So, although the site was chosen outside the city, it was connected to the city.

Originally a wasteland, it has been replaced by several quaint buildings. These wooden structures resemble earthen buildings, but lack walls and feature hollow corridors for viewing. At its center is a ring with a radius of four to five hundred meters. It's a single massive rock embedded in the earth, smoothed and reinforced, allowing even the most destructive wuxia warriors and martial arts masters to unleash their full might without needing to tread cautiously.

The craftsmen who built this arena had put a lot of thought into it. A bluestone wall surrounded the arena, at least a meter wide, like a city wall, and incredibly sturdy. This was to prevent the wuxia artists from being thrown out and crashing through the wooden structure, causing it to collapse. The seats there had already been sold, mostly to high-ranking officials. While it wouldn't cover the cost of construction, it would at least provide a way to recoup some of the investment.

This was actually the reason why the wall was built. If these dignitaries were to get into trouble, even with the Crown Prince's support, they could still secretly trip you up, leaving you completely helpless. Less trouble is worse than more. For their own safety, these craftsmen had considered every possible aspect and would not dare to play with their own lives.

At this moment, the building was already crowded with people, all coming to take a look in advance.
