Qing Yu’s words brought up Meng Yunfei’s interest.
However, he suddenly turned his attention to the other drinkers who were drinking and chatting, “What do you think, what are they talking about?”
“What else can there be? The True Martial Sect’s Qingxu has advanced to the Divine Origin. If you ask me, there’s really nothing to talk about. Those five people at the top of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking could have tried to enter the Divine Essence long ago, but they’re still dragging their feet because they want to build up their strength, or because they don’t want to give in and want to fight for the top of the ranking before breaking through. These ordinary Jianghu people just don’t see the light.”
“But ninety percent of the people in the Jianghu are these people who haven’t seen anything, so now Qingxu is in the limelight and has become the number one person in the younger generation.”
Meng Yunfei replied casually.
“So, is it still enough to use the top five of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking as proof of strength?” Qing Yu asked.
Saying that, Qing Yu reached out and grabbed the long sword leaning against the table and placed it across the table, “Do you know this sword?”
The long sword was ancient in style and somewhat unattractive in appearance, and Meng Yunfei could only tell by this appearance that it was an ancient sword from the Daoist school.
However, it looked and felt familiar to Meng Yunfei.
“Clang…”
With a clanging sound, Qing Yu pulled out the ancient sword, and the snowy sword light nearly flashed into Meng Yunfei’s eyes. After Meng Yunfei blinked twice to get used to it, he saw the word “Taiming” inscribed in ancient characters on the exposed sword.
“The Sword of Tai Ming…” Meng Yunfei almost screamed out.
“This is Qingxu’s sword!”
Qing Yu smiled and pushed the sword back into its scabbard, “I guessed it right, twenty days ago, Gong Zi Yu fought Qing Xu alone in Xi’an City and won this sword. If someone hadn’t sacrificed his life to protect Qingxu, it’s not clear what would be the talk of the river and lake right now!”
“No wonder, no wonder ——” Meng Yunfei muttered, “No wonder this time the True Martial Sect is making a big deal out of Qing Xu’s breakthrough to the Divine Origin realm, which is a glorious thing, but in the eyes of other sects and forces at the same level, it is a bit too much. It turns out that it was to cover up this matter.”
Meng Yunfei didn’t suspect that Qing Yu’s words were false, the True Martial Sect’s move this time was already a bit abnormal, and now that he had learned this news, he could naturally taste which side this abnormality came from.
Besides, when Qing Xu had come down from the mountain, he had not expected to lose to Gong Zi Yu, so it was not difficult to find out his whereabouts along the way.
“I’ll go back and report to the Shadow King.” Meng Yunfei was a little impatient, Gong Zi Yu had proved that he had the strength to be above Qing Xu before he broke through, so naturally he could get more favourable terms of cooperation.
And Meng Yunfei, who had tapped into this partner, would also be able to gain greater importance from the Shadow King as Gong Zi Yu’s weight increased. It was a win-win situation for both sides.
“Eh, slow down.” Qing Yu raised his hand to stop Meng Yunfei’s movements.
“What else is it?” Meng Yunfei looked at Qing Yu in confusion.
Qing Yu pointed his finger at the Tai Ming Sword, “The matter of this, you didn’t think that Gong Zi Yu gave me such a valuable and famous sword, did you? The Tai Ming Sword is too conspicuous after all, and it’s not good for a killer to be too famous, so it needs to be changed by a master smith. The Shadow House is powerful all over the world, so I guess it shouldn’t be difficult to find a master smith.”
Wasn’t Gong Zi Yu famous enough?
Meng Yunfei was a bit speechless, this kind of a*sa*sin from the Green Dragon Society had recently created quite a stir in the Jianghu, and Gong Zi Yu was even more notable as he had emerged from nowhere and popped up from a nobody to the eighth in the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings all of a sudden.
Such a person, if he is not famous, who will be famous?
Wait, a light flashed in Meng Yunfei’s eyes. This sword was not necessarily used by Gong Zi Yu, but more likely by the real person under the bronze mask.
If you think about it, the real person of Gong Zi Yu was not a nameless person.
“I will do my best to help.” Meng Yunfei agreed with a full mouth, it was still very easy to find a master smith. As for what Gong Zi Yu could impress this master smith with, it would be up to him.
After saying that, Meng Yunfei got up and left.
His conspicuous figure, weaving in and out of those drinkers, still didn’t attract any ideas.
”Meng Yunfei, it’s not simple.” Qing Yu thought to himself as he watched that figure leave the tavern.
With such a conspicuous figure, and the fact that there were only two people at this small table in the corner of the tavern, none of the people in the entire tavern had even noticed.
This was because Meng Yunfei’s divine energy had interfered, and those drinkers who were not cultivated enough, under the effect of their spiritual energy, subconsciously ignored Meng Yunfei and Qing Yu who was near him. Meng Yunfei, who seemed to be a peaceful person, was in fact also an expert of the divine Origin realm.
”It’s true that people can’t be seen, if Meng Yunfei didn’t have such a long body, it wouldn’t be too much to say that he was a top a*sa*sin.”

“Boom…”
The boulder blocking the entrance of the cave at the Green Dragon a*sociation’s stronghold ten miles away from Xi’an City was moved by a few people dressed as Daoist priests working together.
“Senior Uncle Xuanwen, is this the place?” Outside the cave, Qingxu asked with a haunted gaze, looking at the dark cave in front of him.
“Judging from the news of unknown origin, the inside of this cave should be the stronghold of the Green Dragon Society as stated in the news, and Gong Zi Yu has been hiding here all this time.” Beside Qing Xu, Xuan Wen returned.
“However, Master Nephew, this may be some kind of trickery by Gong Zi Yu, we still need to be careful.” Xuanwen advised with a worried look on his face.
“It doesn’t matter if it is a trick or not, as long as I can meet Gong Zi Yu, I don’t care about other trivial matters.”
Qingxu’s fingers gently brushed the bangs on his forehead. Unlike before when he had always tied up his Dao sideburns, Qing Xu now had a good piece of bangs in front of his forehead, which looked, on the contrary, a little more dashing than before.
On the forehead covered by the bangs was a shallow sword scar, a reminder of what Gong Zi Yu had left for Qing Xu the last time he was at the Mei family in Xi’an City.
“I hope that this time, Gong Zi Yu will give me an even bigger surprise.” Qing Xu’s eyes were indifferent as he walked into the cave in the first place.
In the dimly lit cave, only the torches held up by Qing Xu and his group brought a small amount of light.
The cave was silent as Qing Xu and the others walked along without meeting anyone.
This made the disciples of the True Martial Sect who were following them cautious, fearing that they might encounter an ambush. Judging from the various stone chambers inside the cave, the news that someone had been here for a long time should be true. However, the cave was empty, which meant that the message of unknown origin was most likely released by Gong Zi Yu, and there must be a trap here.
However, when Ren Qingxu and the others searched the various stone rooms, they could not find anyone, nor did they encounter any ambush.
Eventually, they came to a stone room that looked like it should be a prison cell, and there was a dying man lying inside.
“Senior Brother, it’s Senior Brother Chen Qinglin.” A disciple reported.
