Chapter 14 Who Is He?

  Seven Swords Roam the World

  Shanxi and Qilu were only separated by the Taihang Mountains, after half a day's journey, the five of them finally saw Mount Tai. After crossing the Taihang Mountains, the vast land of Qilu is basically dominated by plains. A green expanse stretches to the horizon, in the middle of which stands a towering mountain that rises abruptly from the ground and pierces the clouds.

  "No wonder they say Mount Tai is the leader of the Five Great Mountains, with Lingguan Temple proudly overlooking the Central Plains. From here, you can experience the feeling of 'all mountains are small' after climbing Mount Tai." Yang sighed as he gazed at the magnificent scenery before him.

  "One day, I will make Mount Shu surpass all the mountains under heaven!" With Yang's words of admiration, Nangong Ao Yun saw the majestic appearance of Mount Tai overlooking the world and made a bold declaration!

  "Yes, we must make Mount Shu surpass all other mountains under the sky!" Li Lian and Jiang You behind him were also infected with his enthusiasm.

  Only Yang, who was flying alongside Murong Jing in the back, remained silent and unmoved, seemingly unimpressed by Nangong Yao's grand ambitions. If others had seen this scene, they would have definitely suspected that he wasn't a disciple of Shu Mountain. Murong Jing, who was beside him, also saw everything but didn't say a word.

  In a short while, the five of them arrived at the foot of Mount Tai. Several disciples from Lingjue Temple had already been waiting there to receive the disciples from various sects who came to participate in the Silver List competition. Since the mortal martial world did not have any sects established on Mount Tai, Lingjue Temple did not need to avoid suspicion and only needed to be careful of the eyes and ears of passing tourists.

  Yang and the others walked forward, those few Lingjue Temple disciples saw that the five were dusty and exhausted, among them one was pale-faced, obviously having suffered a serious injury. They said they were just lower-level cultivators. One of them pointed at Yang and the others with an air of superiority and shouted: "Where did you come from?"

  Yang, however, noticed the other's tone was somewhat arrogant and didn't mind, bowing his hands politely to reply: "A disciple of Mount Shu and a successor of Murong Manor have come to participate in the Silver List competition, would you please lead the way, senior brother?"

  That figure standing at the top of the stairs was also a disciple of Shu Shan Sect, one of the twelve sects, and a renowned successor of Murong Manor. He didn't seem surprised to see them, and coldly said: "So it's the seniors from Shu Shan Sect and Murong Manor. I'm Gong Yao. Please come this way." After that, he led several people forward.

  Several people looked at Gao Ao who was leading the way in front of them and indeed he lived up to his name.

  "To show respect to the first sect of Xuanxiu, Lingjue Temple, when you go up the mountain, you cannot fly with objects or use body techniques, and must walk on foot. Just keep walking up, and you will naturally see the disciples who come to greet you." He said coldly and proudly, then turned around and left.

  "What? Not again, do we have to hike up the mountain?" Yang was already walking up the stairs that stretched all the way to the clouds, with a pained expression on his face. Mu Rong Qing couldn't help but stifle a smile as she watched this scene unfold. She never thought that the refined and elegant Yang would also have such an ordinary guy side to him.

  Five people walked slowly up the mountain along the stone steps, and when they reached the middle of the mountain, Jiang You couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to ask Li Lian to carry him. Li Lian carried Jiang You on his back, walking while shouting: "If one day we become the leader of the twelve sects in Shu Mountain, we will also make them walk up the mountain and not give them stone steps to walk!"

  After walking for a whole hour, the five of them finally saw the disciple from Ling Jue Temple who had come to meet them. Seeing that they were all sweating profusely, the disciple hurried over with a smile and said: "Greetings, senior brothers and sisters, you must be tired. I am Li Qian, a disciple of Ling Jue Temple. There is some cool water over here, please come this way to rest."

  Everyone looked up and saw that the disciple was politely leading them to a stone bench on the side, thinking that the disciples of Lingjue Temple were really living up to their names. Those called "High and Mighty" were indeed arrogant, while those called "Li Qian" were humble and courteous. Were they named according to their personalities?

  Five people drank water on the side, rested for a moment, and then Li Qian led everyone to the door of Lingjue Temple. Although there were also upward steps along the way, after passing by the famous Tai Shan stone carvings, admiring the beautiful calligraphy, and with Li Qian's polite introduction, everyone didn't feel tired.

  Before long, Li Qian led the five to a guest room and settled them down. Yang asked Li Qian to leave two rooms next to theirs for Yilin and Zhuge Mo, and also inquired about the residence of the Maoshan Sect disciples. After tidying up their belongings in the room, Yang went out to find Luo Man and Yilin at the residence of the Maoshan Sect disciples.

  The place where the Mao Shan sect lived was not far from Yang's residence, and in less than half a day he arrived at the place Li Qian had told him about. At this moment, a yellow-robed Taoist priest came out of the room, and as soon as Yang looked closely, he saw that it was the Mao Shan Taoist priest. He stepped forward and paid his respects, saying: "Mao Shifu, have you been well lately?"

  The Taoist of Mao Mountain saw someone walking over to greet him, looked up and saw that it was Yang Guo who had saved his life before, so he happily said: "It's you, Guo! You've also come to Mount Tai."

  After a brief moment, the Taoist of Cao Mountain carefully examined Yang and suddenly exclaimed: "In just half a year, I didn't expect your cultivation to have advanced even further. It seems that this time you have a good chance of winning the championship at Mount Shu."

  "Master Cao smiled, but as long as he could exchange blows with a young master, he was satisfied." Yang said humbly.

  "If only my disciple could have your level of cultivation." The Taoist priest from Maoshan said with envy.

  "Right, has Brother Luo arrived?" Yang asked as soon as he mentioned Luo Man.

  "Luoman hasn't arrived yet, he's been studying and healing with your junior sister in the thatched cottage for half a year now and hasn't returned to Mao Mountain. However, this time he will come to Tai Mountain, and should arrive in a day or two." The Taoist of Mao Mountain replied.

  "Does Master Shibo know if Ling Shi has broken through the Heart Control Technique?" Yang asked.

  "Hmm, I'm not quite sure about this, because Luo Man never told me. However, with Yu Xiu's ability, it should be fine for half a year." said Mao Shan Daoist, analyzing according to his own understanding.

  "That's all, Master Cao, I won't disturb you anymore." Yang bid farewell with a bow and left.

  "Alright, if Luo Man comes back, I'll let him go find you." said Mao Shan Daoist.

  "Alright, thank you Master Mao." Yang said after finishing speaking, then turned around and left.

  The Taoist of Mao Mountain looked at Yang Guo's departing back and muttered to himself:

  "It seems that this time's competition for the Silver List is exceptionally fierce. Unfortunately, it may be difficult for us, the Mao Shan disciples, to even enter the top ten."

  Yang didn't go back to his room, originally wanting to meditate and regulate his breath. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, a figure floated into his mind, with gentle words and beautiful singing swirling around his ears. Yang tried every means to drive away this figure, but it had already firmly occupied his mind, leaving no room for anything else.

  Yang opened his eyes, and after a moment of mental struggle, he gritted his teeth, got down from the couch, pushed open the door, and quickly walked to Murong Jing's door. However, when he reached her door, his raised right hand hesitated, wanting to knock but unable to do so, his right hand stiffened in mid-air for a moment.

  Yang thought that if he continued like this, it would be dark before he could knock down the raised right hand. So, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, his right hand lightly knocked on the door twice. After a while, he only heard a light and agile footsteps, followed by a "creak" sound, and the door opened.

  "Yang Gongzi, is that you? Do you have something to look for me?" Murong Jing looked at Yang Guo with gentle eyes and asked. She opened the door and saw Yang Guo, a flash of surprise crossed her face, but it was fleeting.

  "I'm bored, so I came to invite Miss Murong to tour Mount Tai with me. I don't know if Miss can grant me the pleasure?" Yang only saw a flash of surprise on Murong Jing's face, and his heart was also delighted, but he immediately calmed down and restored his usual gentle and elegant demeanor.

  "I've heard that Mount Tai is the leader of the Five Great Mountains, with a breathtaking view. I'd also like to take a look." Murong Jing said softly.

  "Then let's go." Yang was overjoyed when he saw Mu Rong Jing agree, and the two of them went to tour Mount Tai together.

  Mount Tai is the highest peak in the land of Qi and Lu, with countless stone inscriptions carved on it, forming a magnificent sight. Both were fond of reading poetry and books, and at Mount Tai, where numerous poems are stored, they naturally had endless topics to discuss. However, Yang Guo only read poetry and was not familiar with the origins of the stone carvings on Mount Tai, whereas Miao Cui could explain each one, slowly telling them to Yang Guo.

  The two of them traveled together for half a day, and as the sun was about to set, Yang invited Murong Jing to watch the sunset together. Although they had both seen the sunset before, their intention was not just to drink in the beauty of the scene, but also to enjoy each other's company. Naturally, they walked to the top of the mountain and sat down, gazing westward as the orange sun slowly dipped below the horizon.

  The two of them chatted for half a day and were already very familiar with each other. Mu Rong Jing then asked Yang Guo, "Yang young master, today Nan Gong young master said that if the Wudang sect becomes the most superior among all heroes and the number one sect in the world, you didn't react to this. I'm really curious about this."

  Yang just heard the words, looked at the setting sun and smiled faintly, saying: "I am different from my junior brother Nangong, he wants to be the first in everything, but I just hope to find out where I come from and that my friends and teachers can live in peace and happiness, then I will be satisfied."

  "Didn't Young Master Yang have his own ideals and ambitions?" Murong Jing asked softly, gazing at the remaining half of the setting sun.

  "Ideal?" Yang turned his head, gently looking at Murong Xiang: "My ideal is to travel the world with my beloved, encountering injustice and drawing my sword to defend the way, thus being free and easy, carefree and happy."

  Murong Jing couldn't help but blush as Yang Guo gazed at her for a moment, and she lowered her head. Yang Guo looked at Murong Jing's crimson cheeks, gently grasped her slender hand, and softly said: "Jing'er, I..."

  "Brother Yang, is that you?" A voice came from afar, interrupting Yang's words.

  Murong Jing was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. The two of them looked up to see a blue-clad young man and a green-clad girl standing on a five-foot-wide spiritual symbol, flying towards them. In just a few moments, the two people on the spiritual symbol landed in front of Yang and Murong. As soon as Yang saw that it was Luo Man and Yi Ling, a smile appeared on his face:

  "Brother Luo, you've finally arrived."

  Yang You and Luo Man were tightly embracing each other, two good friends who had been through life and death together, and now they met again. The two parted, and Yang You's gaze fell on Yilin, just about to ask Luo Man about Yilin's situation, when Yilin pulled on the back of Luo Man's clothes, looking at Yang You with a fearful expression, asking in a soft but audible voice:

  "Who is he?"
