Li Chengqian deliberately stopped halfway through his sentence and looked at the masked man outside room number six.
"You're wearing a mask, which means you don't want to reveal your identity."
"Since you don't want to reveal it, then I'll pretend I don't know. Do you need me to go into details about Huang Yaoshi?"
The masked man remained silent; with the mask obscuring his face, no one could see his expression.
But everyone guessed his identity.
Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic.
Everyone hoped that Huang Yaoshi would speak up and defend the Song Dynasty.
宭彡衣妻哟九
But after waiting for several breaths, everyone was disappointed.
Huang Yaoshi remained silent; sometimes, not answering is the best answer.
Looking at the taciturn Song people in the inn, Li Chengqian burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"The Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty have all been wiped out. Who else would you like to name?"
"Is it Murong of the South, Qiao Feng of the North, or perhaps the highly respected Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple in the Song Dynasty?"
"If it's Xuan Ci, then there's no need to say anything. Go back and tell him one thing."
"The debts owed in the past will have to be repaid one day."
"Not to mention the Southern Murong clan, regardless of other factors, he is of Xianbei Murong blood, as you all surely know."
“Even though the Murong family has lived in the Song Dynasty for many years, the bloodline in his body can never be erased.”
"So, is there a problem with considering him half a Song Dynasty citizen?"
Every word Li Chengqian uttered resonated deeply within the hearts of the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.
Everyone racked their brains but couldn't think of a single "hero" as described by Li Chengqian.
The people they thought of were either not powerful or prestigious enough, or had committed numerous evil deeds.
For a time, everyone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty felt despair.
Is it really true, as Mr. Li says, that our Great Song Dynasty has not a single hero?
"Mr. Li, you just said you greatly admire Chief Qiao. Doesn't he count as one?"
The words of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person who lives and works in the martial arts world) rekindled hope among the jianghu people of the Song Dynasty.
Li Chengqian glanced at Qiao Feng below and said calmly, "Chief Qiao is indeed one of the few heroes in my heart."
"But he also has a long-standing case involving him, which is related to some of Steve Jobs' secrets."
"Even if I say it now, Chief Qiao won't believe me. Everything will become clear once Chief Qiao returns to the Song Dynasty. Then..."
"You fart!"
A furious shout interrupted Li Chengqian.
Chapter 173 Li Chengqian: Can this sword slay the Five Great Masters of the Song Dynasty?
This angry rebuke not only interrupted Li Chengqian's words, but also ignited the anger in Li Chengqian's heart.
I'm handsome, I have a system, and I'm the protagonist.
I'm already so outstanding, why should I put up with this kind of rubbish?
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. The person was sitting in the corner, and his aura wasn't very strong.
He could even be described as weak, but the arrogance on his face made anyone who didn't know him think he was a Grandmaster.
"Nonsense! You think you can just take whatever you say? Who do you think you are?"
The wandering swordsman was still shouting, which made the powerful figures in the inn frown even more.
Who is this person?
He actually dared to spout such nonsense; even Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the Song Dynasty, wasn't this arrogant.
Does he think he is Wang Chongyang?
Just as everyone was still confused, a faint shout came from outside the inn.
"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power and great supernatural abilities, and his influence extends throughout the Central Plains."
Upon hearing this, the wandering swordsman hurriedly ran outside the inn.
Seeing his powerful backer arrive, his smile grew even more arrogant.
"Li Chengqian, the old immortal sees that you have some talent, so he specially sent me to inform you."
"As long as you are willing to submit to the Starry Sky Sect, the old immortal can guarantee your safety."
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
Lianxing frowned slightly.
"Sister, I've heard of Ding Chunqiu."
"He's a half-step Grandmaster, so his strength is still worth watching, but his poison techniques and his power-dissolving techniques are quite troublesome."
"Mr. Li will probably have a hard time dealing with him."
Yaoyue tapped her fingers lightly on the table and said calmly, "The people that Yihua Palace wants to kill are not for others to do."
"Moreover, they are people from outside the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing Yaoyue's words, Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her sister didn't want to kill Li Chengqian today.
So no one can touch him today.
The shouts outside grew closer, and everyone turned their attention to Li Chengqian on the high platform.
He had previously stated that no one was allowed to take action inside the Ping An Inn.
Now trouble has arisen, and it's a big problem.
Ding Chunqiu was a veteran martial arts master in the Song Dynasty, whose poison skills and dissolving techniques were extremely difficult to deal with.
To deal with this person, it is absolutely impossible without the intervention of a grandmaster.
So who will he send to make the move?
Is it Dongfang Bubai in the No. 1 room, or the mysterious Old Huang?
If he were to make the move himself, it would be a good opportunity to test his strength.
Everyone was waiting for Li Chengqian's decision, and every different decision would influence how people viewed him.
Li Chengqian gracefully descended from the high platform, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, walked step by step towards the door.
The smile on his face had vanished, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Reaching the doorway, Li Chengqian reached out and said softly, "Old Huang, may I borrow the sword box?"
Upon hearing this, Old Huang grinned, revealing his large, yellow teeth with a missing front tooth.
He presented the sword box with both hands, saying, "Young master, this should have been given to you long ago."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh reproachfully, "Dream on! I'm not involved in the martial world, what use would I have for this?"
"I'll have to return it to you later."
After saying that, Li Chengqian stepped out of the inn with his right foot, followed by his left.
At this moment, Li Chengqian entered the world of martial arts!
A motley crew of people arrived at the entrance of the Ping An Inn with great fanfare, including sixteen people carrying a sedan chair.
An old man sat in the sedan chair; his silver hair flowed freely and his long beard reached past his shoulders.
This person is none other than Ding Chunqiu of the Xingxiu Sect!
"Humph!"
"You're quite sensible to come out and greet this immortal yourself."
Ding Chunqiu smiled, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
If it weren't for Li Chengqian's reputation, I wouldn't have bothered coming at all.
He's just a half-step Grandmaster; I could destroy him with a wave of my hand.
But before Ding Chunqiu could be happy for long, the people behind Li Chengqian made him a little panicked.
One Grandmaster, Two Grandmasters
Ding Chunqiu: "
No, where did all these grandmasters come from? Aren't grandmasters worthless?
Wasn't it said that there was only one Dongfang Bubai?
Why are even people from the Ming Dynasty here now? Ding Chunqiu is truly panicked.
He originally wanted to win over Li Chengqian and gain some fame, but he never expected to offend so many important figures!
Looking at his excited disciple beside him, Ding Chunqiu's face darkened.
Didn't I tell you to find out the situation?
Is this how you investigate?
Disciple: Hehe!
The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power; he's about to utterly defeat them.
As for the grandmasters present...
You expect such a cannon fodder to recognize the aura of a grandmaster?
...group.umbrella....Yiqijiu.Yiyi
Faced with Ding Chunqiu's clamor, Li Chengqian suddenly chuckled.
"Ah!"
