Chapter 6 Is There Such a Monster in the Song Dynasty?
After leaving the City Lord’s residence, Sikong Changfeng hastily made his way toward the Ascension Pavilion.
Upon arriving, he was relieved to see that while the pavilion was still intact, the fifteenth floor had been destroyed.
He had feared that the two combatants might have demolished the entire pavilion, and that would have been an unthinkable disaster for him. However, the destruction of the fifteenth floor was not something he could easily let slide.
Unable to contain his anger, Sikong Changfeng didn’t bother with the stairs; with a few quick leaps, he reached the fifteenth floor.
Once there, he finally saw the situation clearly.
Fairy Luoxia was sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating to adjust her breathing.
After a quick glance, Sikong Changfeng relaxed, realizing that Yin Luoxia wasn’t injured, though her energy was somewhat unstable.
It was obvious that she had lost the duel.
Sikong Changfeng shifted his gaze to the young man not far away, and his pupils contracted in surprise!
The aura coming from Jiang Che gave him a sense of pressure, indicating that the youth’s cultivation level was at least on par with his own—likely a ninth-stage Great Grandmaster or even approaching the level of a Half-Step Heavenly Realm!
“Who are you?”
“Why are you causing trouble in Snow Moon City?”
Sikong Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind alert.
This young man appeared to be only eighteen, yet his strength was extraordinary.
Instinctively, Sikong Changfeng assumed Jiang Che must be a prodigy raised by some powerful force.
His mind raced as he tried to recall if he had ever offended such a figure.
Could this be an enemy of his senior brothers coming to seek revenge?
“You must be Sikong Changfeng, the City Lord, right?”
“There’s been a misunderstanding. My name is Jiang Che, from the Song Dynasty, with no sect or master. I’m just a wandering swordsman. Today, I came to challenge the Sword Immortal of Snow Moon City.
“Earlier, I accidentally overdid it and ended up destroying the fifteenth floor of the Ascension Pavilion. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
Jiang Che spoke with a calm smile, not intending to provoke any further hostility.
After all, it was true that destroying part of the pavilion was his fault.
Seeing Sikong Changfeng’s wary look, Jiang Che quickly explained his intentions.
“A wandering swordsman from the Song Dynasty?”
Sikong Changfeng was taken aback, momentarily confused.
In recent years, the Song Dynasty had been in decline, with few notable rising stars apart from the Five Greats of Song, the National Scholar Huangshang, and Southern Murong and Northern Qiao Feng—both of whom were nearing thirty and couldn’t be considered “new talents” anymore.
Since when had a prodigy like Jiang Che appeared in the Song Dynasty?
Jiang Che merely smiled, saying nothing further.
Within the Song Dynasty, his looks had already overshadowed his martial prowess, earning him the title of the most handsome man in the Song Dynasty.
“Since you’re here to challenge my second disciple, please wait for a moment. I’ll summon him now…”
Sikong Changfeng’s mind raced, unsure if Jiang Che’s claims were true. He would have someone investigate later.
Few knew that the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, ranked among the Five Sword Immortals of Beili, was actually a stunning beauty, as Li Hanyi often wore a ghost mask in public.
“Please, City Lord, wait a moment…”
Jiang Che stopped Sikong Changfeng just as he was about to leave. Seeing Sikong’s suspicious gaze, Jiang Che added,
“I’d like to exchange a few moves with you, City Lord, if you’d oblige.”
“Very well!”
Sikong Changfeng’s eyes narrowed but he didn’t refuse.
The boy had destroyed his fifteenth floor, and he was already fuming inside.
“It’s not convenient to fight here; let’s go to Erhai Lake!”
With that, Sikong Changfeng’s figure flickered, disappearing in an instant. Jiang Che followed closely behind.
…
When Bai Li Dongjun, Li Hanyi, and Sikong Qianluo arrived at the top of the Ascension Pavilion, they found only Yin Luoxia, still meditating—Jiang Che and Sikong Changfeng were nowhere to be seen.
Sikong Qianluo, glancing around in confusion, asked,
“Sister Luoxia, where are my father and that troublemaker?”
“They went to Erhai Lake to fight,” Yin Luoxia replied lazily, glancing at Li Hanyi.
“That young man’s name is Jiang Che, from the Song Dynasty. He doesn’t belong to any sect and came today to challenge Li Hanyi.”
She had overheard their conversation and was equally curious.
When had the Song Dynasty produced such an outstanding young talent?
So young, yet already so powerful!
“In that case, let’s go take a look.”
Bai Li Dongjun’s interest was piqued, and in a flash, he darted towards Erhai Lake, with Li Hanyi following right behind him.
Yin Luoxia was about to follow when Sikong Qianluo stopped her.
“Sister Luoxia, wait for me!”
“Sister Luoxia, take me with you, please!”
Sikong Qianluo tugged at Yin Luoxia’s sleeve, pouting playfully.
Though she thought Jiang Che was a troublemaker, he was quite handsome, and she didn’t want her father to injure him too badly.
Although she wasn’t sure how strong Jiang Che was, she was certain he couldn’t defeat her father.
After all, Sikong Changfeng was the renowned Spear Immortal of Beili, and there was no way a boy like Jiang Che could match him.
Since there was a vast gap between each martial realm, Sikong Qianluo, at her third-stage Grandmaster level, knew she wouldn’t be able to catch up with the others. By the time she arrived, the fight would probably be over.
“All right.”
Yin Luoxia patted Sikong Qianluo on the head, clearly delighted by her endearing “sister” act, and didn’t refuse her request.
“Hehe, Sister Luoxia is the best!”
PS: Martial stages explained—Innate Realm is equivalent to Vajra Realm; Master is equivalent to Carefree Earth Realm; Great Grandmaster is equivalent to Carefree Heaven Realm; Heavenly Realm is equivalent to Divine Wanderer Realm.
