Chapter 13
The martial world is in turmoil! Who has snatched the cabbage of Snow Moon City?
"Breaking news! Breaking news!"
"Not only did Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi not kill that 'heartless man,' but her family was reunited!"
"Shocking! The mysterious tavern owner is actually the man behind the sword immortal! He even has a three-year-old child!"
"I heard that child is a prodigy, reaching the Vajra Realm at the age of three—that's terrifying!"
As news of Bai Xiaotang spread, the entire martial arts world was like a pot of boiling oil, instantly becoming a frenzy!
Countless martial artists who were in seclusion, training, or even fighting were stunned by this shocking revelation.
Who is the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?
She was the goddess of the Northern Martial World, the epitome of aloofness and abstinence!
Many talented young men considered her their dream girl, but they couldn't even get a second glance from her.
And now they're being told that not only has the goddess been won over, but she's even had a baby?
This is driving me crazy!
……
Unparalleled City.
Inside the city lord's mansion, Song Yan Hui, who was instructing her disciples on sword practice, suddenly dropped her long sword to the ground with a "clang".
He stared dumbfounded at the intelligence report in his hand, as if struck by lightning.
"What did you say? Li Hanyi... got married?"
Song Yan swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down her spine. "That female demon... actually has men who dare to want her? How strong must her destiny be?"
He had personally witnessed Li Hanyi's rage; that sword strike, "Moonlit Evening and Flowery Morning," almost killed him.
Who could handle a woman like that?
"Master, should we still go to Snowmoon City to take on the challenge?"
The young disciple beside him asked cautiously.
"Challenge my ass!"
Song Yan slapped her disciple on the forehead.
"Going to court trouble at this time? What if they attack us as a couple? Besides, the intelligence says that man can catch Iron Horse and Ice River bare-handed—that's practically superhuman strength! We'd just be easy prey if we went!"
"Pass down the order: Wushuang City disciples, if you encounter anyone from Xueyue City recently, take a detour! Especially that place called Changqing Tavern, designate it as a forbidden area!"
……
Qingcheng Mountain, Qiankun Hall.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a young Taoist priest dressed in a purple robe and holding a peach wood sword sat cross-legged.
He was none other than the Dao Sword Immortal, Zhao Yuzhen, who caused countless people in the martial arts world to sigh with regret.
"Li Hanyi..."
Zhao Yuzhen looked at the message from Baixiaotang in her hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Although he had only met Li Hanyi a few times, he always felt a strange attachment to her.
The master once predicted that if he went down the mountain, he would face a calamity, and this calamity seemed to befall that woman in red.
"In that case, I'll have my fortune told."
Zhao Yuzhen took a deep breath, made a hand seal, and the compass in front of her began to spin wildly.
"The secrets of heaven have been revealed!"
however.
Just as he was trying to deduce the identity of the man named "Su Changqing".
"Snap!"
The ancient compass in front of me, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, suddenly cracked without warning!
"puff--!!!"
Zhao Yuzhen's face turned pale suddenly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her Taoist robe red.
"This...this is..."
He looked up in utter horror at the still-calm sky above him. "A void! Not even... within the Five Elements, beyond the Three Realms?"
"How could someone have such a destiny? Even Lu Zu back then wouldn't have been this outrageous!"
Zhao Yuzhen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
But then he discovered something even stranger.
"Wait... my romantic troubles... seem to be over?"
The ominous aura that had enveloped his life palace, representing "inevitable death from a love tribulation," had vanished, replaced by a peaceful purple aura!
"That man... actually helped me avert this calamity?"
Zhao Yuzhen muttered to herself, then suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout the entire Qingcheng Mountain.
"Hahaha! Good! Well done, Su Changqing! Although you stole my love interest, you also saved my life! I will repay this kindness in the future!"
……
Besides these two major forces, the undercurrents in the martial arts world are even more intense.
Heaven and earth.
The white-haired immortal frowned as he looked at the intelligence report: "Li Hanyi has a husband? Will this affect our plan to bring back the young sect leader? What is the background of this Su Changqing? Is he a spy for the Northern Li court?"
"Send men to investigate! Make sure they find out the truth! If they obstruct the grand plan, kill them without mercy!"
underground river.
That assassin organization forever shrouded in darkness.
The patriarch, Su Changhe, toyed with the teacup in his hand and smiled sinisterly.
"Interesting. Another variable has emerged in Snow Moon City. A Divine Ascension Realm? Or an even higher realm? Heh, the stronger the better. Only when the martial world is in chaos can there be business."
"Send the spider to scout ahead. Remember, just scout ahead, don't get yourself caught in the crossfire."
……
While the outside world was in turmoil, the Evergreen Tavern remained peaceful and serene.
The morning sunlight shone on the second-floor windowsill.
Su Changqing was sitting on a small stool, holding a peach wood comb in his hand, clumsily but earnestly combing Xiao Nuomi's hair.
"Ouch, Daddy, be gentle! You're pulling my hair!"
Little Nuomi wiggled her little feet, complaining under her breath, but her face was beaming with joy.
"Okay, okay, Father, be gentle."
Su Changqing wore a fawning smile, his cautious demeanor likely to make the Black Snake Gang thugs, who were terrified by his gaze, question their very existence.
Li Hanyi leaned against the door frame, munching on an apple. Watching the interaction between the father and son, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"You're so clumsy, you can't even tie a pigtail."
Li Hanyi said with disdain.
"Everyone has their own area of expertise."
While battling those stubborn strands of hair, Su Changqing said, "I'm researching a new hairstyle called 'Sky-High Twin Ponytails,' it's absolutely awesome!"
"Ugh, it's so ugly."
Li Hanyi rolled her eyes, but she didn't offer any help. Instead, she enjoyed watching Su Changqing "get his comeuppance."
Just then.
Su Changqing paused slightly as he held the comb in his hand.
His gaze never left his daughter's hair, but in that instant, his divine sense spread out like a tide, instantly covering an area of a hundred miles.
"What's wrong?"
Li Hanyi keenly sensed his unusual behavior, her eyes instantly sharpening. "Has someone arrived?"
"Hmm, a few little flies have come."
Su Changqing said casually, his tone as relaxed as if he were saying it was going to rain today.
"It seems yesterday's commotion was too big; some fools wanted to come and probe."
In his divine perception.
A dozen or so subtle presences have appeared in the streets and alleys surrounding the tavern.
There were assassins from the Dark River who were skilled at stealth, spies from the Outer Heavens who were experts in disguise, and even a few clueless young men who came from who-knows-where who wanted to climb over the wall to peek.
Although these people were trying their best to hide, they were as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark in front of Su Changqing's divine sense, which was enough to cover the entire planet.
"I'm going to kill them."
A cold glint flashed in Li Hanyi's eyes. Although she held no sword, her sword intent was already concealed and unleashed. "Dare to intrude into my home? You're courting death!"
"No, don't get your hands dirty."
Su Changqing stopped her and finally finished braiding Xiao Nuomi's hair into a crooked braid. "Besides, Nuonuo is here, don't scare the child."
"Then what should we do? Just have them keep watch outside?"
Li Hanyi said unhappily.
"No way."
Su Changqing stood up, clapped his hands, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "Since they don't want to leave, then let's see them off."
He walked to the window and looked at the bustling street outside, as if he could see those voyeurs hiding in the shadows.
Those eyes were filled with greed, curiosity, and malice.
Su Changqing dislikes being spied on.
Especially since his wife and children are here.
"This is my territory."
Su Changqing murmured.
next moment.
He flicked his finger lightly into the void.
