Chapter Eighty-Three: Four Years of Concealment

ong Bai, who had his eyes slightly closed!"Guan Peng let out a hearty laugh and said: 'No matter what my intentions are, if your Kong family wants to continue existing, if you want to protect all your...Seeing the peak of Mount Zang, everyone naturally understood who Bao Yuanqiang was talking about - Jiang Yun!

That day's battle between Jiang Yun and Zheng Yuan shocked everyone who witnessed it. At the battlefield blessed by fortune, they fought to the brink, almost killing Fortune Land itself. Such power would be truly exciting if they came to challenge the Five Peaks.

"However, since that battle, Ginger Cloud has been missing for over half a year now. He must be breaking through to the Blessed Land Realm and probably won't be leaving his seclusion to challenge the Five Peaks at this time."

Moreover, he became famous after just one battle and should have been accepted as a disciple by a peak master or even the sect master long ago. There was no need for him to go through the trials of the Five Peaks.

Everyone started talking at once, but Bao Yuanqiang's disdainful expression grew even stronger. He scoffed and said, "Oh, please. To say you're ignorant is an understatement! Who told you he's already at the Ninth Pulse Realm Who told you he's breaking through to the Blessed Land realm"

He said it himself! And he beat Zheng Yuansheng, it's impossible to do that even at the ninth level of Tongmai!

Bao Yuanqiang reached out and pointed at each of these people one by one, saying: "You guys just go along with the crowd! Do you believe everything you hear Well, I'll say I have nine heavens of fortune, do you believe it What evidence did he provide As for defeating Brother Zheng Yuanshi, humph, there are definitely hidden agendas involved in this as well."

Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued, and they all eagerly asked, "What's the inside story"

Bao Yuanqiang deliberately lowered his voice and said, "According to Master Xiao, Gingeryun should have ingested a powerful elixir that day, which placed his internal energy in a terrifying state. That's why he was able to unleash such formidable power. However, this also caused immense damage to his body. The reason he hasn't appeared for so long is most likely because he's recovering from his injuries."

Upon hearing the three words "Master Xiao," all the disciples immediately became reverent. This was because Master Xiao was the only second-rank alchemist within the Questioning Dao Sect!

Of course, this also increased the credibility of Bao Yuanqiang's revelations. Although they dared to suspect Bao Yuanqiang, they absolutely wouldn't dare question Master Xiao.

"I see, so that's how someone could reach the ninth level of Pulse Opening in just ten months. It turns out they were taking pills!"

"I also heard from my senior brother that Ginger Cloud's state was a little strange that day. So this is what happened!"

"I still looked up to him as a role model, but I never thought he was such a big fraud!"

"Well, I'm quite looking forward to seeing him challenge the Five Peaks. Let's see what he's really made of!"

For a moment, all the disciples turned their eyes to Zang Feng, their faces contorted with disdain.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Bao Yuanqiang couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Jiang Yun. He thought to himself, "Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun, don't blame me, these words were told to me by Fang Ruolin. Who did you provoke her"

Originally, after the battle between Jiang Yun and Zheng Yun, Jiang Yun's reputation soared, even trending towards being on par with Fang Yu Xuan.

Fang Yu Xuan was still inside the Sword Cave and naturally wouldn't know about these things. However, his younger sister Fang Ruolin couldn't sit idly by. She absolutely couldn't tolerate a boy who had humiliated her in the past being so successful. Therefore, she fabricated these stories and spread them through Bao Yuanqiang's mouth to ensure everyone continued to suppress and ostracize Jiang Yun.

It is clear from the disciples' reactions that she has achieved her goal!

And at this moment, besides these disciples, Dao Tianyou was also looking at Cangfeng!

No one knew that the start of this Five Peaks Challenge was advanced; in fact, it was Dao Tianyou who waited for Jiang Yun to emerge from seclusion so he could reopen the challenge for him!

“I wonder how Jiang Yun is doing now, but at least he should be safe! That damn Gu Bulao, what on earth does he think he’s doing, restricting me outside Zangfeng! You wait, this time I'll keep my word, as long as there's a chance, I will definitely ask to change my protector!”

Just as Dao Tianyou was voicing his complaints, a sword light suddenly surged from Jian Dao Peak, shooting into the sky and appearing in midair, revealing two figures.

One of them was Wei Zhengyang, while the other was a young man with an arrogant expression.

Seeing the young man, many older disciples exclaimed in surprise: "It's Wang Jian senior brother! He, he's still within the sect!"

Bao Yuanqiang, however, had expected this a long time ago and gave a slight smile. "Wang Jian, he is one of the two veteran outer disciples I mentioned, who has been dormant for four years. Today, he's going to make a name for himself!"

At this point, no one doubted Bao Yuanqiang's words anymore.

Wang Jian's name is no stranger to them, and the reason for his fame is that four years ago, he was favored by Wei Zhengyang and wanted to accept him as a disciple, becoming Fang Yu'xuan's junior brother, but he refused in person.

The reason is that he wants to, like Fang YuXuan, pass through the Sword Dao Peak first, and then worship Wei ZhengYang as his master!

But after that, Wang Jian disappeared. He didn't even show up for four consecutive rounds of the Five Peaks Challenge. Everyone thought he had either been sent out by the sect on a mission or had already left the sect. However, no one expected that four years later, he would reappear alongside Wei Zhengyang!

Dao Tianyou's gaze shifted from Cangfeng to Wang Jian, his brow furrowed slightly as he shook his head gently. "Wei Zhengyang, how many more disciples do you intend to harm!"

Above the sky, Wei Zhengyang smiled and nodded at Wang Jian: "From today onwards, you should be my disciple. Go!"

Wang Jian bowed deeply to Wei Zhengyang. Before he could straighten up, a bolt of blue lightning sword energy suddenly flew out from his body, condensing into a shining blade of thunder light. He rode the sword down from the air and landed at the front of all the disciples who were preparing to climb Jian Dao Peak.

"My goodness, I actually cultivated Thunder Sword Qi!"

"Thunder Blade Qi is extremely difficult to cultivate, but once achieved, its power far surpasses that of the same level."

Whether it was Wei Zhengyang's attitude towards Wang Jian, or the thunderbolt Wang Jian had just displayed, it immediately ignited everyone's emotions. Wei Zhengyang also restrained the smile on his face and spoke in a loud voice: "Please, Zhan Tianjian!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, Wei Zhengyang extended his hand and grabbed towards the sky above Jian Dao Peak.

"Boom boom boom!"

The soaring Jian Dao Peak, seemingly reaching the heavens, trembled under Wei Zhengyang's grasp. A deafening roar echoed through the air, and immediately afterward, a phantom golden sword shadow, stretching a hundred zhang long, slowly rose from the mountain's core. It hovered majestically in mid-air.

This sword, just like the soul of Jian Dao Feng, was seized by Wei Zhengyang.

Although there was no trace of sword light or sword energy surrounding it, and it was merely a sword shadow, everyone involuntarily held their breath upon seeing it.

Especially among the many disciples who cultivate the sword way, their faces and eyes revealed an even more fervent expression.

This sword is called Heaven-Slashing!

Because it truly once sliced through the heavens, thus earning its name.

Imagine wielding such a sword, with one swing cleaving the heavens. What a display of power and majesty!

"

Go!

"

Wei Zhengyang roared again, and the 100-zhang long Zhantian Sword Shadow immediately fell from the sky. During its descent, its size swelled wildly, increasing from 100 zhang to 10,000 zhang, before being obliquely embedded at the foot of Jian Dao Peak.

The hilt is below, and the blade resembles a golden avenue, slanting into the heavens. Even with the furthest reach of sight, the tip of the sword cannot be seen.

Strictly speaking, the blade of this sword is 9,999 zhang long!

Before nine thousand zhang, each thousand zhang is a section of the sword's body, and the last nine hundred ninety-nine zhang is the final section of the sword's body.

After traversing all the sword blades, you successfully conquer Mount Swordsmanship.

All the disciples of Zhuangfeng immediately stepped onto the sword hilts!

At Wei Zhengyang's command, Wang Jian was the first to step onto the sword hilt, and the other nearly two hundred disciples also hurriedly followed suit.

With all the disciples stepping onto the sword hilt, Wei Zhengyang smiled slightly and said, "The rules need not be stated by me. Within three hours of time, no matter what method you use, try your best to cross this Zhantian Sword's blade. Those who can finish it, I will accept him as my disciple. Now, the peak challenge begins!"

"Clang!"

A crisp clang of a sword rang out, and all the disciples on the hilt of the sword instantly unleashed their full strength, rushing towards the blade of the Zhantian Sword.

At the same time, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from within Zangfeng's waterfall, but it was not the sound of a sword, but thunder!
