Chapter 737: The Bat Prince is Not That Impressive
Yuan Suoyun believed that the martial world was vast, and although he knew a lot, there were definitely things he was unaware of.
He also knew that Jin Banhua was no ordinary person, so when she first started speaking, he listened attentively and heard the name of a divine skill he knew, the Robe-Transferring Divine Skill.
But this guy was getting more and more outrageous! Yuan Suoyun was confident that even if there were divine skills and techniques in the martial world that he was unaware of, it was impossible for him to know nothing else besides the Robe-Transferring Divine Skill.
Eternal Unceasing, Wave-Skimming Void Crossing, Waterfall Reverse, the Sea Sky Solitary Swallow who roamed the seven seas, the Soul-Snatching Heavenly Buddha Scroll, and the Heaven-Earth Interacting Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Ode—the names were more arrogant than the last, yet none of them had ever been heard of in the martial world.
The more Yuan Suoyun listened, the more he felt like it was the wild imagination of low-level martial artists on the streets or the fabrication of a down-and-out scholar in storybooks.
As soon as Yuan Suoyun spoke these words, the others in the darkness were also taken aback, and they couldn't help but snicker as they thought of Jin Banhua's reputation, no longer paying any attention.
Jin Banhua shook her head and sighed, "Every word I say is true."
She was talking about the martial arts from the Gu Long world and didn't mention the martial arts of the other three masters, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, and Wen Ruian.
"Truth and lies, reality and illusion, I have witnessed Jin Gongzi's abilities. The auction will be held on the third floor, and if you are interested, you can go upstairs to meet him."
The voice of the Bat Prince echoed in the darkness, and then a figure with fluttering sleeves disappeared into the wind.
After the Bat Prince left, the others didn't want to talk to Jin Banhua, except for Li Yuhuan and a few others who remained seated nearby.
"Is the skill that Jin Xiong is practicing the Jade Radiance Divine Skill?" Li Yuhuan asked in a low voice.
"Yes!" Jin Banhua acknowledged nonchalantly, "I also know one of the skills from the Heaven-Earth Interacting Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Ode."
"Sigh—what a pity that he doesn't know any other skills. It's really regrettable." Jin Banhua sighed, "I thought I could find clues from Bat Island, but it seems he doesn't know either."
"You're overestimating that Bat Prince, Jin Xiong. I haven't heard of any of the skills you just mentioned," Li Yuhuan said with a bitter smile.
"I did overestimate him," Jin Banhua said slowly, "The skills he knows are not that impressive."
The group fell silent.
To be honest, each of the skills Yuan Suoyun had just mentioned was well-known in the martial world, and they were all high-end secret manuals with a great reputation.
Whether it was the Great Slapping of the Eastern Japan Kagakura or the Great Seal Technique of the Yellow Sect Esoteric Sect, they were all profound secret manuals of their respective sects.
The Returning Wind Willow Sword of Bashan Gu Daoist, the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Bodhimanda Fist of Shaolin, and the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve of Wudang were all signature skills of renowned sects, only to be practiced by the elite disciples of those sects.
The Chenzhou Yan Family and the Shanxi Peng Family had been passing down the Zombie Fist and the Five Tigers Sealing Gate Saber for hundreds of years, and they were both well-known powerful families in the entire martial world.
Any one of these skills was enough to allow someone to travel the martial world and make a name for themselves.
But when the group thought about Jin Banhua's skills...
These skills were indeed "not that impressive" to her, and even saying so was already being polite! After a moment of silence, Liu Wumei broke the silence, "You haven't touched the food on the table, have you?"
"No," the group responded.
Yan Dianhong said, "We haven't drunk the wine either."
Hearing this, the group laughed. At this moment, they lacked evidence, and they were just short of confronting Yuan Suoyun face-to-face. Of course, they dared not drink the wine and food he had brought.
"Let's see, the sun should be up by now. I wonder if Commander Xiang has arrived yet?" Li Yuhuan asked.
Liu Wumei thought for a moment and said, "Chu Xiang is cautious and careful, Elder Ying is experienced in the jianghu, and Jin Lingzhi has been here before, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Hua Zhenzhen frowned in the darkness, "The Withered Plum Sect Leader is missing."
"Huh?" Everyone was startled.
"The Withered Plum Sect Leader and Gao Yanan wouldn't go looking for women, but they aren't in the main hall, and there aren't any separate rooms here either." Hua Zhenzhen spoke in a low voice, "Both the Withered Plum Sect Leader and Gao Yanan are missing!"
"Could it be that Elder Kumei has been ambushed?" Yan Dianhong exclaimed in shock.
"With Elder Kumei's martial arts skills, even if she were suddenly ambushed, she wouldn't be unable to make any noise, right?" Qu Wurong asked.
"I'll go look for them." Hua Zhenzhen stood up.
"On our way here, the maid warned us not to wander around in the cave," Li Yuhuan reminded them. "There were quite a few patrols we encountered along the way, and there will only be more in other places."
"It doesn't matter, it won't be that easy for them to discover me." Hua Zhenzhen said confidently.
"But don't forget one thing." Jin Banhua suddenly spoke.
"What is it?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"There's a traitor in the Huashan Sect." Jin Banhua said.
Hua Zhenzhen fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "Have you guessed something?"
Jin Banhua countered, "Have you guessed something too?"
This time, Hua Zhenzhen remained silent for even longer before saying, "I just can't figure it out."
"Eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains, no matter how incredible, is the only possibility." Jin Banhua said, "Since we can't figure it out, we can only wait for her to make the first move."
"When will she make the first move?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"Of course, it will be in the darkness." Jin Banhua said calmly, "When they need to win by surprise, for example..."
"For example, when Chu Liuxiang finds evidence of his identity," Liu Wumei smiled.
"Indeed." Jin Banhua nodded.
Just then, a crisp bell rang out from the upper level of the main hall, and a faint sound of footsteps approached the group. It was the same female voice from before, "The first auction is about to begin, would you all like to go upstairs and participate?"
"Of course we will." Jin Banhua laughed loudly, "I have no interest in the Great Seal Technique of the Yellow Sect Esoteric Sect, but I must have the eight-hundred-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain!"
The old voice from before laughed, "Jin Gongzi, you're so generous, but you're also a big talker. The Soul-Snatching Heavenly Buddha Scroll and the Heaven-Earth Interacting Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Ode, all of that was just your boasting, wasn't it?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Jin Banhua said with a dismissive gesture.
"If you can explain the second training method of the Bridegroom's Divine Art, I'll believe you're not boasting." The old voice coaxed.
Jin Banhua's eyebrows rose, and she knew who this elder was.
Xuan Yunlong, the 800-year-old elder of the Huainan Eagle Claw Sect, was planning to purchase Tangmen toxic potions on Bat Island to assassinate Tie Zhongtang.
No wonder he had taken an interest in the secrets of the Bridegroom's Divine Art, because if he could successfully assassinate Tie Zhongtang, he might be able to obtain the Bridegroom's Divine Art.
If he could really cultivate it, not only would he become the number one in the world, but he could also become the leader of the revitalization of the Eagle Claw Sect. The temptation was indeed great!
However...
Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It seems you have the Bridegroom's Divine Art in your possession. I'm impressed!"
Feeling the footsteps in the main hall suddenly stop and the gradually heavy breathing, Wang Tian shou was almost scared stiff. He quickly denied, "No, no, absolutely not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved swiftly and headed towards the third floor.
When everyone followed him to the third floor, they heard the voice of the Bat Prince, "Thank you all for coming. The first auction begins."
