Chapter 10: The Great Competition of Beifeng (Part 1)

  North Peak

  It's already very close to Beifeng Dabi now.

  The atmosphere was a bit tense six months before the big comparison on Beifeng, but it wasn't much different from usual.

  The atmosphere at Beifeng was tense a month before the Grand Competition, ordinary disciples were working harder than usual, while the top ten true transmission disciples had already been taken away by their masters for special training, such as Ye Fang and Ye Yuan. Some disciples with background and backing, such as Sima Hao, were also undergoing special training, all for the sake of the Beifeng Grand Competition.

  Naturally, this does not include Lu Yuan. It's really not necessary anyway.

  This disciple has grasped the extremely difficult-to-grasp sword intent, and his magical powers have increased again. What need is there for special training? This was Li Yuanbai's line of thinking.

  However, now that the day of the North Peak competition has arrived, although the tense atmosphere still hasn't dissipated, everyone who should be making an effort has already done so, and those who should be specially training have also finished their special training. Everyone has become idle, and with the North Peak competition imminent, those who should be striving are doing so, and those who should be preparing are prepared. Everything will now depend on the outcome of the North Peak competition.

  Everyone has some free time and they gather together in groups of three or five.

  When three or five people gather together, they will naturally talk about some interesting things that have happened recently.

  People always have some gossipy thoughts.

  "Have you heard? This time, both Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother have returned to the mountain." In Northern Peak, there was only one Eldest Senior Brother, and only one Second Senior Brother. The Eldest Senior Brother was Yun Yi, and the Second Senior Brother was Yun Ping. However, these two were completely different from the other eight of the Ten True Disciples. They had entered Northern Peak a long time ago and were core members among the tenth generation disciples, often having tasks to run down the mountain, but rarely returning to the mountain.

  "Yes, Eldest Brother and Second Brother are back, what a wonderful sight."

  "Yes, they are the two who have been competing for a long time as the leader of the 10th generation disciples." The top ten true transmission disciples of Beifeng, led by Dashi Xunyue and Ershixiong Yunping, had abilities that were far beyond the other eight, and the strength of these two was also very close.

  The problem lies in the fact that these two have similar strengths.

  The leader of the Northern Peak's previous generation was naturally Yuan Yuanshang, the first of the Six Swords of the Northern Peak. The other gentlemen, such as Sword Fang Rujun, Sword Li Yuanbai, Sword Sima Changbai, Sword Ye Rongyang, and Sword Dugu Ye, were just stars surrounding the leader Yuan Yuanshang.

  A collective can only have one leader figure, if there are two leader figures, then this collective will easily collapse.

  The leader of the ninth generation is Yuan Yuanshangren.

  So, who will be the leader of the tenth generation of Beifeng? Currently, there are only two people who have a chance, namely Master Cloud Drifter and Second Master Cloud Flat. Coincidentally, these two people's strengths are quite close, and they both have big ambitions and have set their sights on this position.

  For decades, Master Cloud Drifter and Second Master Cloud Calm have fought countless times, yet neither has ever emerged victorious.

  It seems now that these two will have to fight again in this North Peak Grand Contest.

  So everyone thinks there's going to be a good show.

  Of course, after discussing these, everyone will also discuss another good show.

  That is, among the last few of the top ten true disciples, who might be replaced and by whom.

  After discussing back and forth, everyone still felt that the one most likely to be replaced was Lu Yuan, the sixth senior brother among the top ten true disciples.

  When it comes to the two senior brothers, they are all spoken of with great respect. However, when it comes to the sixth senior brother Lu Yuan, there isn't much respect in their tone. He has always been lazy and his actual strength ranks last among the ten true transmission disciples.

  "This time, the one who will be replaced is probably Sixth Brother Lu Yuan."

  "Yes, if we're talking about the top ten true disciples, although he's ranked lower, there are a few others with similar strength to his, so it shouldn't be his turn yet. Unfortunately, his master Li Yuanbai is now old and frail, which is why he was deceived into coming here. It's said that Sima Changbai intends to let his grandson Sima Hao take over Lu Yuan's position."

  "It was actually Rikujin no Ken (Sun Sword) Shimotsuki Kōhaku who came up with this plan, no wonder."

  "Li Yuanbai, Shibo and Sima Changbai, Shishu, both are among the six sword immortals of Beifeng. Their titles, one is 'Sword of Dusk' and the other is 'Sword of Daybreak'. Now, it has come to this - Li Shibo is indeed in his twilight years, while Sima Changbai is at the height of his power, making him hard to resist."

  Actually, Li Yuanba's nickname was "Dusk Sword", his swordsmanship was like dusk, once you fell into his sword aura, everything around turned dark, no white could be seen, a chilling atmosphere emerged from under his sword.

  Simachen's sword was called the Ruyi Sword, because his swordsmanship, once unleashed, would have flames attached to it, and as the sword moved, the temperature on top would become stronger and higher, until finally, the sword seemed to have a scorching sun-like heat, making it extremely difficult for opponents to get close, hence the name Ruyi Sword.

  The two men's reputations back then were both due to their swordsmanship, but unexpectedly now, their reputations are almost as different as their circumstances. One is in decline, the other is at his peak, I don't know if it's a coincidence or fate.

  "Unfortunately, Sima Changbai's move was somewhat unscrupulous. Li Shibo is not yet dead, and he is already plotting to take his property."

  "This is also lawless, the Great Jin country lacks resources, everyone knows it, and under Li Shibo's name, there are many industries that others want to seize, such as medicine fields, and the position of Lu Yuan's ten true disciples. If he were in normal circumstances, no one would dare to seize them, but now his lifespan is limited, and the fat meat is tempting, who wouldn't want to take advantage of it and take a bite?"

  Yes.

  "Right, then Sima Hao will have the strength to challenge Lu Yuan after all."

  "I heard that Sima Hao has been brought up by his uncle Sima Changbai since he was a child and his martial arts skills are quite good."

  "But Lu Yuan, I heard that he has only been in the sect for six years and is said to be a lazy person who has always been lazy to the extreme. He probably hasn't learned much of Li Shibo's immortal skills. In terms of actual strength among the ten true disciples, he is absolutely at the bottom."

  "Besides, the current situation is very clear. Sima Shuang wants to contend with Li Yuan for power. There aren't many people willing to help Li Yuan after all. For a Lee who is in his twilight years and has little time left, it would be unwise to offend the rising Sima Shuang."

  "Yes, this time, the position of one of Lu Yuan's top ten true disciples will definitely be taken by Sima Hao."

  Lu Yuan was walking on the road, originally he was going to buy Huangjiu.

  Roasted rabbit with Huangjiu is originally a delicious part of life.

  Besides, Lu Yuan's nature is a person who loves good wine and food.

  However, on the way to buy wine, I heard such a messy discussion.

  Alas, it seems that no one has confidence in themselves. Most people think Sima Changbai will win for sure, and most people think Sima Hao will win for sure. But now, with Master's physical problems and his own lazy image, everyone has this feeling. However, Lu Yuan's mouth corners slightly hooked, a cold smile.

  Simachangbai, you think it's easy to take over Shifu's property?

  Sima Hao, you think it's easy to take the position of one of my top ten True Disciple successors?

  Now, our strength has also made great progress.

  Come and take it, it's okay if you come, when you arrive at the Feng Nei Da Hui, you must slap Sima Hao's face hard, slap Sima Changbai's face.

  Must make Sima Changbai and Sima Hao's faces swell up.

  Normally, I'm just a lazy bum.

  But for those who are hostile towards me, I will never show mercy.

  Unconsciously, I have already walked to the hotel, bought huangjiu (yellow rice wine), and swayed my way back to Changchun residence.

  The autumn wind blows through the leaves, and there is an inexplicable sense of killing intent.

  The peak is about to arrive.

  The yellow wine is just warm, and it's great to drink with the autumn wind and falling leaves. (Beautifully, the second update is here, and there will be a third one around 12 o'clock.)
