Chapter 596: Tian Gongzi is the Carefree Marquis

In the southwest, the weather was pleasant and sunny, with no hint of the approaching winter.

However, despite the comfortable climate, the leader of the Diancang Sect was far from relaxed. After receiving a letter, he felt anxious and hesitated for a long time on Mount Diancang before finally mounting his horse and rushing downhill, sword in hand.

"Is it a letter from the Celestial Sect?"

"Xie Tianshi only mentioned that he would be going down the mountain for a while, but he didn't say what he was going to do."

"The news about Ge Shu's treasure has spread, and many in the Jianghu are secretly inquiring about the Celestial Sect. The Sect will surely make some move."

"At the very least, they'll need to give some explanation to their followers, whether it's a sweet date or a whip lashing."

"Indeed, and they also have to deal with external threats."

"That move by Lian Chengbi was brilliant. By releasing the news upon returning to his turf in the south, he ensures the Celestial Sect won't dare to make a move on him along the way."

"But Brother Lian is still in danger, isn't he? The Celestial Sect might be infuriated and decide to make an example of him to deter others."

"Lian Chengbi is no chicken, nor a monkey. He's a tiger, and judging by that winning move against me, he's probably the fiercest tiger in the world."

"Rest assured, if Lian Chengbi dares to release such news, his safety is the least of our concerns. Let's focus on tailing Xie Tianshi and extracting the secrets of the Celestial Sect Leader from him."

Feng Si Niang, Xiao Shiyilang, and Yang Kaitai followed Xie Tianshi down the mountain. Yang Kaitai was in charge of informing their subordinates, Xiao Shiyilang was responsible for close surveillance, and Feng Si Niang orchestrated their strategy.

As Xie Tianshi descended from Mount Diancang, he traveled through Yunnan and Sichuan without realizing that three people were constantly on his trail.

Not only did these three follow him, but they also kept a meticulous record of everyone he met, every place he visited, and every action he took.

Despite their vigilance, they still failed to uncover any traces of the Celestial Sect.

"The Celestial Sect truly operates in the shadows. If not for Lian Chengbi exposing Peng Pengfei in Lanzhou and startling Liu Yongnan, they might have remained hidden."

"Indeed. Initially, Situ Zhongping thought Peng Pengfei was an inside man for the bandits, but who would've thought it was the Celestial Sect double-crossing their own."

"But this time, Xie Tianshi is definitely heading to the Celestial Sect. While he has a few friends in Shu, he has no such connections in Guanzhong."

On this day, they had reached a small town in Hanzhong, and going further north would bring them into the Qinling Mountains.

"Could the headquarters of the Celestial Sect be in the Qinling Mountains?"

"The Qinling Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with areas of sparse population intermingled with bustling towns, providing the perfect cover for their activities while facilitating their movement in the Jianghu."

"Wait, who are those two?"

Feng Si Niang pointed at two figures who had just climbed the stairs of the restaurant across the street from their noodle stall. They sat down directly opposite Xie Tianshi.

While Xiao Shiyilang didn't recognize them, Yang Kaitai certainly did.

"Feng Yuzzi, Feng Songzi." Yang Kaitai exclaimed in surprise, "What are they doing here? Could it be..."

Feng Si Niang tapped her bowl impatiently with her chopsticks. "Well? Who are they?"

"They are the second and third senior brothers of the Kunlun Four Swords, also known as 'Frost and Snow Cover the Sky'." Yang Kaitai averted his gaze from the upper floor to avoid attracting their attention and whispered, "Apart from the leader of the Kunlun Sect, they are the most formidable ones."

Yang Kaitai spoke with disbelief, "The Kunlun Four Swords are the leader's senior brothers, and aside from the leader himself, they are the most powerful members of the Kunlun Sect."

Xiao Shiyilang whistled in awe, "So the Celestial Sect has infiltrated even Kunlun, I wonder if the other Five Great Sword Sects have been compromised as well?"

Feng Si Niang could barely hold back her laughter anymore. The seven great sword sects were like the Big Dipper of the current martial arts world. There were hardly any individuals or sects that could surpass them, and even if there were, they were extremely rare.

The fact that Tianzong could control someone like Xie Tianshi was already beyond their imagination. They never expected that Tianzong would also have infiltrators in the Kunlun Sect. If this pattern held true for the other sword sects...

What about Emei, Huashan, Hainan, Kongtong, and Wudang? Had they also been compromised?

A moment later, four more people climbed up to the second floor of the restaurant, and while Feng Si Niang, Xiao Shiyilang, and Yang Kaitai breathed a sigh of relief, they remained on high alert.

The good news was that these four individuals were not masters from the other five great sword sects.

The bad news was that their reputation was just as formidable as the seven great sword sects' masters.

"With these seven individuals gathered together, there are very few people in the world who can stand against them," Yang Kaitai said.

However, Xiao Shiyilang frowned, "But now that they've gathered early, does that mean they won't go to Tianzong's headquarters and we won't get to see the Tianzong Leader?"

Feng Si Niang pouted, "I thought we were about to win."

Xiao Shiyilang smiled, "It doesn't matter. If we're not winning, then Liancheng Bi isn't winning either."

The next moment, they were distracted by a commotion coming from the wine shop next door.

"What?"

"The Tianzong Leader is actually him?"

The two big men's exclamations attracted the attention of the people around them, and they quickly lowered their voices.

Feng Si Niang, Xiao Shiyilang, and Yang Kaitai exchanged glances, wondering if the identity of the Tianzong Leader had been exposed.

As the two big men continued their hushed conversation, the trio immediately focused their inner strength on their ears, straining to listen.

"Where did this news come from?"

"It's been spreading all over the Jiangnan area and has now reached Shaanxi and Sichuan. Tianzong sent a lot of people to kill the Pure Prince, but they were counter-killed by the Pure Prince's sword. They also captured one of Tianzong's important figures and identified the Tianzong Leader!"

"Tianzong really miscalculated this time!"

"Hehe, if you knew who Tianzong sent, you wouldn't say that."

"Who was it?"

"The Thunder and Lightning Twin Gods, Leimantang of Taihu, and Yikuang Longguang, as well as the Bozhong Twin Heroes, Ouyang Wenbo and Ouyang Wenzhong."

"These four are well-known heroes in the Jiangnan area!"

"There's also the Invisible Sword, Shen Feng; Iron Fist, Zhen Shanhe; Bixue Xian Gu, Liu Qingqing; Soul Chasing Hand, Xiao Luo; Cloud One Sword, Lu Feiyun; and the Night Crow brothers, Ye Ya and Ye Hu..."

"Wow—"

"How could so many masters not be a match for Liancheng Bi? Tell us exactly what happened!"

The first big man continued, "Tianzong even used a scheme where the Ouyang brothers first visited and stayed in the Pure Prince's manor. Then, the Thunder and Lightning Twin Gods pretended to be injured and fled into the manor, leading the Tianzong assassins in..."

The man painted a vivid picture of that night's events as if he had been there himself.

"Unfortunately, no matter how many schemes they devised or how many ambushes they set, they couldn't defeat the Pure Prince's sword!" The first man exclaimed, "It's said that the Pure Prince casually swung his sword and killed the Thunder and Lightning Twin Gods, as well as the Bozhong Twin Heroes."

"Aside from the leader, everyone else left their lives at the Pure Prince's Manor."

"And when the leader saw the Pure Prince's sword technique, he was so desperate that he revealed the identity of the Tianzong Leader. In Tianzong, he's known as the Heavenly Marquis, but outside, he uses the identity of..."

"The Carefree Marquis!"

Feng Si Niang, Xiao Shiyilang, and Yang Kaitai, sitting in the adjacent room, listened to their conversation with shocked expressions on their faces.
