I am a living immortal.

Chen Meng lost, and lost miserably.

And the old goat won, and won with great fanfare. Looking at the prince, the old goat laughed and slowly walked off the stage.

The prince stared at the old goat's back, and he also understood that the old goat's name should not be called Haitang Swordsman.

Because the branch is used against the sword, and the sword is used against the sword.

Fists and palms collide, air currents collide with air currents.

This person didn't show his true ability at all, he was just playing around.

This thought made the prince feel a tinge of regret. He knew that if he dragged this person into this, he might actually lose everything. He thought of the other person's faint smile and the undeniable dominance at the banquet.

But he just felt uncomfortable, the feeling of being seen through made him very unhappy. In fact, this was nothing, the most important thing was that the Meng family army had also mentioned that it was best not to provoke this person.

It was this remark that made him determined to see just how capable the old goat was. The prince wasn't perfect either; there were no perfect people in this world. The more you forbid him from doing something, the more he'll do it. That's a flaw. The prince knew it wasn't right, but he still had to do it.

Everything went smoothly all the way, so it wouldn't cost him much to be so stubborn. But life is like that, and at some point, there will always be a major setback, and this setback will make him heartbroken.

This time, the prince met the old goat.

The prince had also investigated the other party's information; it was as if this person had appeared out of thin air. However, the Meng family army clearly knew about the other party, but kept it a secret. There was also Chen Tao from the Jianghu Lou family.

He wanted to buy information from them, but was told that the Jianghu Lou family did not do business with friends.

This person seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, and there was no way to find out. Even his name was just a code name: Old Goat.

He seemed to have two companions, one of whom there was no news at all, and the other who had brief contact with some passengers in Jiading Prefecture and then disappeared.

The whereabouts of these three people were strange, and they came and went without a trace.

The high and mighty being wants to control everything and hold it all in his hands, but the old goat is an unexpected surprise.

The prince thought a lot.

…………

But the audience didn't think too much. The miraculous means and the crushing feeling of a cat-and-mouse game immediately made many people show great enthusiasm, full of admiration and yearning.

The other Grandmasters saw this and understood that this was no undeserved achievement. To become a Grandmaster, one must possess an unparalleled passion for the art of martial arts. Therefore, having another opponent was a boon for them. Furthermore, it could dampen the prince's aggression. While no one believed they would lose, having another strong opponent meant a new possibility.

After that, we had a few more matches.

The sky was just beginning to darken. The day's excitement was still talked about at night, and the most famous person was the old goat.

Chen Tao joked: "You will be famous tomorrow."

The old goat didn't care. This fight wasn't even a warm-up. He wanted to fight the masters, or even the prince.

Chen Tao analyzed: "Seeing your strength, if the prince comes to you at night, it means he is admitting defeat. If he doesn't come, it means he wants to fight you to the death, and he will use all the treasures in the world. He is going to fight you to the death."

&34;I hope he chooses the second one, otherwise it would be too boring.&34;

&34;I also think he will choose the second method.&34;

"After all, the prince was very proud, very proud."

The old goat shrugged and didn't care.

"By the way, let me tell you something interesting. Do you know why there are only three Grandmasters left, and you are number five?"

&34;Why?&34;

"Because a master came to the neighboring country and happened to run into the martial arts tournament."

&34;What a coincidence?&34;

"How could it be a coincidence? He came here specifically to challenge us. You'll know tomorrow. He should have a competition, and his opponent will be that Li Yang."

Li Yang was actually similar to Chen Meng, who was fighting today. They were both similar to the prince's staff. Old Goat didn't know how many people the prince had planted, but it was definitely not just one.

Speaking of this, Chen Tao felt quite sad.

That is, although there were some unpleasantness and friction between the court and the martial arts world due to some previous relationships, once outsiders appeared, the prince and the masters in the martial arts world became united against the outside world.

How should I put it? There's a barrier between the Jianghu and the underworld, a barrier of exclusion, even greater than that between the Jianghu and the imperial court. Therefore, organizations like the Lou Clan and the Meng Clan Army, which span multiple countries, are incredibly impressive.

The Jianghu Lou family was alright, as they were an intelligence organization and generally wouldn't resort to force. Rather than calling it a Jianghu sect, it was more like a brokerage or merchant organization.

Just look at the Meng family army and you will know that in order to enter the Yu Dynasty, the price they paid may be greater than the gains, but they have to do so for the Youxu Ghost Market.

Besides, now that a master from another country has come here as a friend, it is understandable, not to mention that the relationship between the two countries is not good.

The prince was testing the Grandmaster like an old goat, so he sent Li Yang in. He didn't know if it was because he trusted Li Yang's strength or what, but he felt it was a bit foolish to let a non-Grandmaster test a Grandmaster.

But this is none of the old goat's business.

Because every autumn rain brings a chill, the drizzle last night really dispelled the scorching summer heat. The autumn heat seems to have wilted, and autumn has truly arrived.

I don't know if it's because of the Su Mu, but autumn has arrived in Jiading Prefecture sooner than usual. The temperature difference between day and night is gradually increasing.

Although the enthusiasm for the martial arts tournament hadn't died down, it was no longer as lively as it once was. The busy farming season had arrived, and it was time for the autumn harvest.

Everything has to give way to the Autumn Harvest, including the Martial Arts Tournament. This year, Jiading Prefecture has seen a surge in both martial artists and labor, making the Autumn Harvest even more challenging.

The golden rice fields and wheat waves are bent by the breath of autumn.

This year is a year of harvest, and the autumn wind blows the fallen leaves into the sky.

The old goat looked up at the dead leaves being blown by the autumn wind, and suddenly said, "Autumn has arrived."

Chen Tao, who was standing nearby, was puzzled when he heard this puzzling remark and replied casually, "Hasn't it arrived a long time ago?"

Chen Tao didn't know that the old goat was talking about a different autumn. The cycle of the four seasons had reached a new stage, and Su Mu's cycle had also entered a new height, a brand new... realm.
