"Is Qi Lianhua, the master swordsman of the Spring and Autumn Period, my maternal grandfather? Was he the immortal who secretly protected my mother back then?"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
Princess Wu Su of Beiliang was ambushed and killed?
Could Qi Lianhua, the master of swords and armor from the Spring and Autumn Period, be Xu Fengnian's maternal grandfather?
Either of these two events would be enough to shake the world.
It should be noted that Wu Su is the successor of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, the wife of Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, and the most respected elder sister of Deng Tai'a, the Peach Blossom Sword God.
If she is still the daughter of Qi Lianhua, the master swordsmith of the Spring and Autumn Period, then those who harmed her will probably have trouble sleeping at night.
However, it also shows that those who dare to touch Wu Su must not be ordinary forces, but rather extremely powerful beings.
If a direct confrontation were to occur, the scene would be absolutely earth-shattering.
With this in mind, everyone looked at Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to give his answer.
When Su Chen saw Xu Fengnian come out, his eyes lit up, and he immediately brought up the system to check on him.
The system quickly responded:
"Successfully told Xu Fengnian's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the rare treasure of heaven and earth, the Spring and Autumn Cicada."
Su Chen was taken aback when he heard the notification sound.
He knew that Xu Fengnian was extremely lucky, and that if he were to have his fortune told, he would surely receive a very precious treasure.
But I never expected it to be this.
If he remembered correctly, this was a treasure capable of reversing time.
Even in the vast river of time in the universe, the cicada can freely travel from the "future" back to the "past".
Not to mention a small world like the Haotian World, which has incomplete rules.
With the abilities of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, it should be possible to reach any point in time in this world.
For top masters who harbor regrets and want to make up for the past, this is undoubtedly an extremely attractive treasure.
This gave Su Chen a good idea to gain popularity.
He possesses numerous magical treasures, enough to host an unprecedented super auction.
Putting aside everything else, the Spring and Autumn Cicada alone is enough to drive countless powerful individuals mad.
Of course, this is just a thought.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada is not from this world, and there are many restrictions on its use; whether it can be used at all is still a question.
Now is not the time for detailed research.
Su Chen forcibly suppressed his curiosity, unfolded his folding fan, and said loudly:
"Qi Lianhua is indeed your mother Wu Su's father, that is, your maternal grandfather."
"His best skill in life is writing, especially the characters 'spring,' 'emotion,' and 'year.'"
“He used the character ‘Su’ in his daughter’s name, Wu Su, and the character ‘Nian’ was given to you, so your name is Xu Fengnian.”
"Although Qi Lianhua looks down on Bei Liang King Xu Xiao, he dotes on his daughter Wu Su and you, his grandson."
"But the white-clad case in the capital happened too suddenly back then, and the battle was already over when Qi Lianhua arrived."
"The same goes for Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a; he was outmaneuvered by the enemy and couldn't arrive in time."
"Therefore, Qi Lianhua and Deng Tai'a both felt extremely guilty, and they took out their guilt on you."
"That day, Deng Tai'a swore that he would do something for you."
"Qi Lianhua has been hiding his true identity and has been protecting you in secret."
"Back in the day, Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, roamed the martial world, destroying many sects and recruiting many masters."
"For example, Jian Jiuhuang who lost his fighting spirit, and Li Chungang who was disheartened."
"But what Xu Xiao didn't know was that the true strongest expert in the Beiliang Royal Palace was actually Qi Lianhua, the Spring and Autumn Sword and Armor expert."
"After the death of Princess Wu Su of Beiliang, Qi Lianhua changed his name to Wu Jiang and became a servant in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion."
"He remained hidden for twenty years, silently staying by Xu Fengnian's side and secretly thwarting three deadly assassination attempts."
After Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
All the martial arts practitioners present stared wide-eyed, feeling a chill run down their spines.
The murder of Princess Wu Su of Beiliang was clearly a carefully planned scheme.
The planners even included Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a and Spring and Autumn Saber Armor Qi Lianhua in their calculations.
This shows just how terrifying the forces behind it are.
They knew perfectly well that Wu Su had powerful backers like Deng Tai'a and Qi Lianhua, yet they still dared to make a move.
Hearing the rest, everyone was so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.
It turns out that Qi Lianhua had been hiding in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion for the past twenty years.
This also answers some of the questions that people in the martial arts world had.
Back then, Xu Xiao swept through the martial arts world and offended many people, but for the past twenty years, the Beiliang Royal Palace has remained safe and sound and has never been assassinated.
Now the truth has finally come out.
With Qi Lianhua, the master of the Spring and Autumn Blade and Armor, in charge, even top experts wouldn't dare to lay a finger on the Bei Liang Royal Palace.
In front of the railing on the fourteenth floor.
Xu Fengnian's body stiffened, his face filled with surprise.
The renowned swordsman Qi Lianhua of the Spring and Autumn Period was actually his maternal grandfather.
Moreover, over the years, Qi Lianhua had been hiding in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, right beside him, silently protecting him.
This deeply moved Xu Fengnian.
He couldn't blame Qi Lianhua for failing to save his mother, Wu Su.
It was obvious that the Liyang royal family had long been on guard against Qi Lianhua.
They came prepared, and Qi Lianhua had no choice but to fall into their trap.
Xu Fengnian just couldn't understand why the Liyang royal family was so ruthless. They knew that his mother had experts like Deng Tai'a and Qi Lianhua behind her, yet they still wanted to deal with her.
He remembered what Su Chen had said before, that if he wanted to know the truth of this matter, even exchanging the entire fortune of Beiliang wouldn't be enough.
"One day, I will definitely get to the bottom of this."
Xu Fengnian clenched his fist and made a silent vow in his heart.
Su Chen took a sip of tea and, before everyone had finished discussing, spoke up:
"Next, let's comment on the next sword immortal on the list."
"Second place on the Sword Immortal Ranking, Chuan Ying."
Chapter 87 Nothing
"This person comes from the Song Dynasty, and probably very few people in the martial arts world know him."
"But his talent is absolutely top-notch, and his comprehension is almost at the limit of human ability."
Chuan Ying came from an ordinary background, not from a martial arts family, and had never practiced martial arts as a child.
But truly talented people can grasp the essence of martial arts simply by observing the world, thus standing out from the crowd.
His parents were ordinary people, and although Chuanying acted differently, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Until one day, his uncle Li Ling came to visit.
Li Ling is a true江湖人 (jianghu person), nicknamed "抗天手" (Anti-Heaven Hand), whose cultivation has reached the逍遥天境 (Xiaoyao Tianjing).
He immediately recognized Chuanying as a martial arts genius, a talent that comes along only once in a millennium, so he took him as his disciple and personally taught him.
From then on, Chuanying embarked on the path of martial arts and displayed amazing talent.
No matter which school of martial arts he was familiar with, he could learn it at a glance and master it with a single practice. In just three years, he reached the realm of carefree enlightenment and became proficient in all martial arts under heaven.
Li Ling felt he had nothing more to teach him, so he gave him a thick-backed sword and sent him out to gain experience in the martial world...
From then on, Chuan Ying embarked on his journey through the martial world, carrying this sword on his back.
Like a sword that overturns rain and waves that surge and clouds rise, he learned from nature, traveling alone to famous mountains and rivers, and even to the extremely cold land of Xibei.
At the age of fifteen, he had already entered the realm of divine travel.
He gleaned astonishing sword techniques from the gliding trajectory of swallows, and comprehended the ultimate swordsmanship amidst the wind and thunder of a rainy night. By cultivating both swords and sabers, he reached the realm of Earth Immortal overnight.
He was seventeen years old that year.
Afterwards, Chuan Ying felt that he had no rivals in the martial arts world, so he went to the Mongol Yuan martial arts world alone. With only a sword, he swept through the entire alien martial arts world, making everyone tremble with fear.
Upon learning of this, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's Grand Preceptor, Bashiba, made an unprecedented move by leaving the Tantric sect to challenge Chuanying, but ultimately only found the knife Chuanying had used.
Bashiba is a rare genius in Tantric Buddhism, a talent that appears only once every thousand years. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and he has mastered the "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Striking Technique," a skill that no one in Tantric Buddhism has been able to achieve for hundreds of years.
He heard that Chuan Ying was just a young man, so he didn't take it seriously. He planned to locate Chuan Ying based on the residual aura on the knife and pull him into a fantastical spiritual world.
With his strength, even a terrestrial Celestial Realm expert would be trapped in his mental world and unable to escape once he was hit.
But he didn't expect that Chuan Ying's mental strength was stronger than his own. He instantly sensed Chuan Ying's presence and dragged him into his own mental world.
The two have been reincarnated and fought countless times in the spiritual world constructed by Bashiba.
Finally, Chuanying, with his strong will, shattered Bashiba's mental world.
Realizing that he was not the strongest, Bashiba returned to the Tantric sect, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs, and went into seclusion to cultivate.
Chuan Ying took this opportunity to break through the barrier between heaven and man and enter the terrestrial heaven and man realm.
That year, he was twenty-one years old.
As I said before,
