Immediately, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves:
"Just as I thought! The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, sealed away for over seven thousand years, has reappeared, and it's in the hands of the Arrow Hermit!"
"No wonder the Sun-Shooting Bow has not appeared for seven thousand years since the death of Hou Yi, the God of Archery. It turns out it was taken away by the Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Dao had clearly taken back the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, but now it has given it to Arrow Hidden. It seems that Arrow Hidden is the one chosen by Heavenly Dao."
"This Arrow Hidden is the representative of the Heavenly Dao in the human world, just like the Arrow God Hou Yi back then. His strength has definitely reached the strongest level below the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man."
"How terrifying is the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty! There are so many experts at the Celestial Realm on the land, and they can all be traced back to the ancient history of the human race."
"Haha! With Arrow Hidden as the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, I can rest easy. All demons and monsters will be eliminated."
"Don't be too happy yet. Even if Jian Yin has the support of the Heavenly Dao, he may not be a match for Haotian. Don't forget how the God of Arrows, Hou Yi, died back then."
"That's right! Relying solely on Arrow Concealment is not enough to counter the Eternal Night Calamity caused by Haotian. It's just that we don't know what kind of catastrophe the Heavenly Dao has asked him to resolve."
In the sixth private room on the 15th floor, near Beibian, Helian Ba finally couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer. He strode out of the room and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"I am willing to offer three million taels of silver as payment for the divination. May I ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal—"
"Is the Arrow Shadow ranked second the same person as the Arrow Shadow who is with Guan Yutian?"
The moment those words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned.
No one expected that Guan Yutian had such a hidden archer by his side.
This is no simple matter.
After all, Arrow Hidden is not only the second-ranked expert, but also the spokesperson of Heaven's Way. His every move can stir up a storm.
In particular, Guan Yutian, a descendant of the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian from five hundred years ago, is plotting a shocking plan.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to give an answer.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen was not surprised at all by Helian Ba's question. He quickly brought up the system to check.
The system responded shortly afterward:
"The fortune telling for Helian Ba was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the divine skill manual 'Emperor's Seal Technique'."
The Imperial Seal Technique?
Su Chen was a little surprised, not expecting Helian Ba to reveal such an amazing secret manual this time.
Although he already has many powerful martial arts manuals, having one more powerful manual is always a good thing.
Thinking about it this way, Su Chen felt much better. He waved his fan and said loudly:
"These two hidden arrows are indeed the same person."
“As I said before, Arrow Hidden shoulders the great destiny of Heaven, and he himself takes ‘acting on behalf of Heaven’ as his mission.”
"The reason he stayed by Guan Yutian's side was because he had discovered Guan Yutian's plot to reforge the Ling Shuang Sword."
"So, those who are worried that the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian will be resurrected, or that Guan Yutian will wreak havoc on the martial world, don't need to be too nervous."
“These people have all been targeted by Arrow Shadow. Once they really get out of control, Arrow Shadow will take action.”
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
No one expected that these two "Arrow Hidden" were actually the same person.
Upon hearing Su Chen's next words, all the heroes and warriors of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world showed expressions of relief.
It turns out that "Arrow Hidden" had been spying on Guan Yutian all along!
Only then could everyone truly feel at ease.
After all, Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian was the most terrifying demon in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world for the past five hundred years.
After hearing Su Chen's evaluation of Guan Yutian, many martial arts practitioners felt uneasy.
Now I can finally relax.
He Lianba grinned upon hearing this, "Hahaha, Guan Yutian, you've finally met your match!"
He had been so frustrated by Guan Yutian's schemes before, and he was afraid that Guan Yutian would come to his door to take revenge.
Now I have absolutely nothing to worry about.
With "Arrow Shadow" watching over him, Guan Yutian couldn't cause any trouble at all.
In the fifth private room on the east side of the 14th floor, Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "There are always masters above masters, and mountains beyond mountains. The dangers of the martial world are truly unpredictable."
Ximen Chuixue, Hua Manlou, Yan Shisan, and others nodded in agreement, deeply moved by what they heard.
The Sword Master of Sword Forging City thought he was lucky enough to have collected all the fragments of the Frost Sword, but in reality, it was all the work of the Demon Sword Remnants.
Helian Ba of the Sea Shark Palace thought he had killed Guan Yutian and taken the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, but in fact Guan Yutian had just pretended to be dead to get away.
Guan Yutian thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't realize that he was just the mantis in the "mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" scenario.
He was always being watched by "Arrow Shadow," so his failure was inevitable from the start.
Chapter 131 Top Masters
Not to mention, above mortals, there is Haotian, the only true god, silently watching over everything.
Even the mighty archer Hou Yi, the sword saint Huangfu Jian, and the demon god Chi You could not escape the fate of divine punishment.
After some discussion, everyone fell silent and turned to look at Baiyutai.
The second place on the list has been announced, and next up is the real number one – the number one person in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty!
They were all eager to know: if "Arrow Hidden" was already this powerful, then how strong would the "Top-Ranked Player" ahead of him be?
On the white jade platform, Su Chen felt the intense gazes directed at him. Without keeping them in suspense, he spoke directly:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Number one on the list of champions: Yin Zhong!"
"I'm sure you all already know just how amazing the experts who rank above 'Arrow Concealment' really are."
"Just as everyone thought, Yin Zhong, the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty, has already entered the Great Longevity Realm!"
"Moreover, he is the only person in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty to have reached this level."
"But he was seriously injured and has not been able to recover for a thousand years, which has severely affected his fighting ability."
"Once the injury flares up, his strength will be greatly reduced."
"Therefore, he can also be said to be the weakest Celestial Longevity Realm expert in the world in terms of combat strength."
"But the Celestial Beings' Great Longevity is something that people in other realms cannot compare to."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, he is temporarily ranked first on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty."
The Dengtian Pavilion immediately erupted in excitement.
Although everyone had already guessed, they still couldn't help but feel a jolt when they actually heard Su Chen say those words.
The immortality of the gods!
This is the ultimate realm of martial arts in the human world.
Such a figure actually existed in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after hearing what came next, everyone in the hall gasped.
It turns out that Yin Zhong, the number one man in the Ming Dynasty, was seriously injured and had not recovered for a thousand years, so severely that it affected his combat ability.
This statement is so shocking; it reveals so many astonishing secrets.
First, who could have so severely injured Yin Zhong? Second, his injury has remained incurable for a thousand years; has he lived for a thousand years?
If Su Chen hadn't revealed it, who would have imagined that the powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world was actually an immortal who had lived for a thousand years?
Although his immortality is not as long as that of the butcher or the drunkard, which live for ten thousand years, it far exceeds the two or three hundred years of immortality of Li Changsheng and Yan Fei.
A thousand years!
Throughout the entire land of Kyushu, there are very few dynasties and powers with such a profound foundation.
After all, a thousand years is a very long time. Even the ocean can turn into mulberry fields. Who can guarantee that it will not decay over such a long period of time?
Having lived for so long and still being so strong, Yin Zhong inspires awe in everyone.
It's unclear who spoke first, but soon the people in the hall were buzzing with discussion:
"This is terrifying! There really are experts in the Great Longevity Realm of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's the Celestial Longevity Realm, the pinnacle of martial arts in the mortal world, where one can sense the ultimate existence of the Divine Kingdom Haotian."
"Haha, who dares to say that our Great Ming Jianghu is weak now? Our Great Ming Jianghu not only has terrestrial celestial beings, but also celestial beings with great longevity!"
"What? Did I hear that right? Someone as powerful as Yin Zhong is seriously injured? Who in the world could possibly injure a Celestial Immortal?"
"Could this Yin Zhong also be a conqueror of the heavens? Apart from Haotian, I really can't think of anyone else who could harm the Celestial Great Longevity."
"Impossible! With Haotian's strength, if he really made a move, Yin Zhong would have been dead long ago. Even Chi You was reduced to ashes. How could Yin Zhong be stronger than Chi You?"
"The Celestial Immortal said that Yin Zhong's injury has not healed even after a thousand years. Doesn't that mean he has lived for at least a thousand years?"
"A thousand years have passed. Yin Zhong is older than the Ming Dynasty itself. That's terrifying."
In the ninth private room on the east side of the 15th floor, Zhang Sanfeng stroked his white beard and said curiously, "The Great Longevity of Heaven and Man? I never thought there were people of such a level in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
As a celestial being on earth, he naturally yearned for the wonders of the Celestial Realm of Longevity.
Now that I know there are such figures in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, I can't help but feel curious.
"Yin Zhong has lived for at least a thousand years. Just as the Celestial Immortal said, every major sect has its own long-lived individuals who are unknown to the public," Song Yuanqiao remarked.
The release of this list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty greatly surprised him.
Not only him, but he believed that once this news reached the Ming Dynasty, the entire martial arts world would be shaken.
“Yin Zhong, who has lived for a thousand years, is surnamed Yin, could it be…” Yu Lianzhou murmured to himself, his eyes full of surprise.
Mo Shenggu asked, "Second Senior Brother, do you know Yin Zhong?"
Everyone else looked over after hearing this.
