Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1803 Water Dragon's Chant 7

Jiang Xinxin had never considered participating in that damned Sword Bathing Festival before, even though she had long heard that the Yu family still had a "Phoenix Sword" hanging high in front of the Heavenly Flame Sword Wall, which had not yet found a suitable owner.

Jiang Xinxin did not have an invitation, but the Three Poisons Sword in her hand was very conspicuous. Moreover, the Three Poisons Sword was a well-known spirit sword in the martial arts world. Jiang Xinxin herself also possessed the antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ghostly Demon Pill. The Yu family of Sword King City liked to befriend such a promising young talent. In addition, Jiang Xinxin's attire was not low-key. Even though she maintained the relatively casual style of people in the martial arts world and did not use tassels in her hair, she was still full of jewels.

Therefore, the guards of Sword King City respectfully invited Jiang Xinxin into the city.

The moment Jiang Xinxin entered the city, the phoenix sword, which was originally suspended in front of the Heavenly Flame Sword Wall by the formation, suddenly trembled a few times. The guarding disciples almost thought that the phoenix sword was about to break away from the formation and fly away in a certain direction. They were on edge when they saw that the phoenix sword did not move again.

Even so, the guarding disciples still quickly sent someone to report the unusual movement of the Phoenix Sword to Sword King Yu Qifeng.

Yu Qifeng, the current Sword King of Sword King City, did not seem to be a magnanimous person. When he heard about the unusual movement of the Phoenix Sword, his expression was inevitably a bit unpleasant. However, the Sword Bathing Festival had already begun, and it was not advisable to take any action at this time. Therefore, Yu Qifeng simply instructed people to pay close attention to the situation in the forbidden area, while he himself still had to entertain guests from all sides.

After entering the city, Jiang Xinxin wandered around the streets and alleys and heard a lot of rumors. She didn't care whether they were true or false, but she found some of the rumors quite interesting. She couldn't help but feel tempted and locked herself in the inn for a whole day, finally finishing a rather long piece called "Old Tales of the Martial World".

In the story, Jiang Xinxin doesn't focus on the martial arts styles of different schools. Instead, she writes about the entanglements between people in a very melodramatic way, such as real and fake heiresses, real and fake young masters, white moonlight and cinnabar mole, and even more wonderfully, the love triangle of you loving me, me loving him, and him loving him/her.

Of course, to provide readers with a better reading experience, the characters in Jiang Xinxin's story are all based on the people she heard rumors about. Although the pursuit of martial arts by serious martial arts practitioners is obvious and unwavering, they are still very interested in those complicated anecdotes. As a result, in just three days, Jiang Xinxin made a small fortune and happily prepared to go out and sweep the streets.

Sword King City is powerful, and its guards are naturally somewhat arrogant and prone to flattering the powerful and belittling the weak. Tang Lizhi, along with A-Shui, Shen Langhun, and Chi Yun, wanted to enter the city, but were stopped at the city gate.

Chi Yun was impatient and was about to draw his sword to "reason" when Tang Lizhi stopped him. Suddenly, a land-based boat appeared behind him, its surface radiating light so bright that the surrounding crowd could hardly open their eyes.

The guards of Sword King City recognized the boat as belonging to the Myriad Apertures Sect and quickly stepped forward to greet them. Unexpectedly, the boat ignored them and instead lowered a ladder towards Tang Lizhi. Several extraordinary-looking people who disembarked from the boat bowed to Tang Lizhi and said, "Greetings, Master."

Tang Li gracefully led A-Shui, Shen Langhun, and Chi Yun onto the boat. This time, the guards from Sword King City dared not stop them and had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to make up excuses and smooth things over.

Tang Lizhi didn't make things difficult for the guards, but she couldn't help but sigh to Shen Langhun and Chi Yun, "Back then, the Sword Phoenix Xuanqing Zhenren was highly skilled in martial arts and his reputation was so great. It's a pity that he has now fallen into the situation of having no successor..."

After witnessing the contemporary Sword King Yu Qifeng wield the seemingly ordinary West Wind Slashing Wildfire, Tang Lizhi was even more disappointed. In private, she took Chi Yun and Shen Langhun to the forbidden area of ​​Sword King City to witness the sword intent of West Wind Slashing Wildfire left behind by Sword Phoenix Yu Xuanqing.

The group came and went in a hurry, staying on the Wanqiaozhai boat without checking into any inn. Naturally, they were unaware of the various "secrets" that had been circulating in Jianwang City in the past few days. However, Jiang Xinxin soon received news that Tang Lizhi, the leader of Wanqiaozhai, had entered Jianwang City on a huge land-based boat. She was quite curious about Wanqiaozhai, so she simply followed them. However, apart from the disciples of Wanqiaozhai, only A-nai remained on the boat.

Jiang Xinxin had no intention of causing trouble, so she naturally wouldn't board the ship rashly. After learning of Tang Lizhi's whereabouts, she simply followed him to the forbidden area of ​​Sword King City.

Within the forbidden area of ​​Sword King City, the Heavenly Flame Sword Wall stood majestically, surrounded by chilling sword energy and undiminished pressure. Chi Yun and Shen Langhun walked for a while but found themselves unable to make any further progress, so they could only stay outside to keep watch for Tang Lici. Neither of them expected that Jiang Xinxin, a seemingly delicate and beautiful girl, could enter so easily and comfortably, just like Tang Lici.

Shen Langhun didn't recognize Jiang Xinxin. Seeing Chi Yun's admiring expression, he quickly asked, "Do you know the girl who went in after that?"

Chi Yun turned to Shen Langhun with a "where did you come from, you country bumpkin?" look. "You've been on the thirteenth floor for quite some time now, how come I've never heard of the Three Poisons Master?"

Shen Langhun suddenly realized: "So this is the famous Three Poisons Master! Then the sword in her hand is the legendary Three Poisons Spirit Sword that everyone talks about?"

Chi Yun nodded reservedly with his arms crossed. "The sword held by the Three Poisons Master is naturally the Three Poisons Sword. Moreover, in my humble opinion, the martial arts of this Three Poisons Master, Jiang Xinxin, are probably no less than or equal to Tang Fox's! Although her few moves only show that her lightness technique is rare in the world and can be considered unparalleled, her hand skills are not weak either. She can subdue someone who has taken the Nine Hearts Pill of the Gorilla with just one finger."

Shen Langhun wasn't particularly interested in Jiang Xinxin's martial arts skills. He was only thinking of his wife, Huiniang, whom he had missed the chance to be treated, and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret: "If only Huiniang had met the Three Poisons Master back then, perhaps..."

Chi Yun already knew about Shen Langhun's past from Tang Licheng, and hearing what he said now, she felt it wasn't unreasonable: "That's true. The Three Poisons Master can even concoct an antidote for evil things like the Nine Hearts Pill of the Ape Demon. Perhaps she has some medicine that's no less effective than the Life-Extending Pill. Even if she doesn't, with her medical skills, she can at least help alleviate your wife's pain..."

Shen Langhun smiled bitterly: "It's no use saying these things now. When the Three Poisons Master was born, Hui Niang had already passed away."

Chi Yun felt the atmosphere was too heavy. Just then, a great commotion broke out at the Heavenly Flame Sword Wall. The sky was almost completely covered by sword light. Chi Yun and Shen Langhun glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Sword Wall, and then they both became alert in the direction from which the people came, preparing to help Tang Licheng and Jiang Xinxin hold off the approaching crowd.
