Chapter 169 Seven Killings Order, Rising Waves_2
"What is the upheaval that hasn't been seen in ten thousand years?"
In a certain courtyard, several Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples were gathered together, quietly discussing.
"I don't know, but Tianji Building is always mysterious and knows countless secrets. Seven Killings Tower, likewise, is an ancient sect that has been passed down for ten thousand years. It must be an extremely important matter for them to take it so seriously."
"This matter must be reported to the sect. If it is as those two said, a major upheaval is about to occur in the world, and our Qingyun Sword Pavilion must also prepare in advance to respond!"
"Seventh Junior Brother, later I will write a letter by hand, and you must immediately start your journey back to the sect and report today's events to the sect in full."
"Yes!"
After discussing for a while and making a decision, they then started to talk about other matters.
"Speaking of which, that Young Master Lu is truly terrifying. Even the assassins of the Twelve Heavenly Gang from the Seven Killings Tower are no match for him, not even able to flee."
One of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples, recalling the morning's events, still felt amazed.
The assassins of the Twelve Heavenly Gang from the Seven Killings Tower are recorded in the sect as extremely formidable beings.
It is rumored that they possess the ability to assassinate Martial Arts Grandmasters.
And indeed, the facts proved the rumors true.
At that time, the aura burst forth by "Heavenly Orphan" was not only frightfully powerful but also had the strange effect of shaking the heart, spirit, and stalling the thought process.
Even Wei Family Master, himself a Martial Arts Grandmaster, seemed affected at that moment, his movements delayed.
Yet, such a fearsome assassin stood no chance against Young Master Lu, unable to escape, which was simply inconceivable!
"Yes, who would have thought that in a small place like Cang County, there would be such an exceptional genius? I believe that even those top True Disciples of our Sword Pavilion Inner Sect pale in comparison to Young Master Lu in terms of talent.
The elders were right, 'There are always stronger people in the world, and there are heavens beyond our own.' There are always some geniuses and devils in this world who are beyond ordinary people's imagination.
We used to think that the locals here in Cang County were naive and had never seen a real Martial Arts expert, which is why they believed the rumors and overly praised Young Master Lu.
But it turns out, the real 'frogs in the well' were ourselves."
Another disciple also sighed.
The rest of them, hearing this, remained silent.
There was no helping it, the shock that Lu Qing brought them was too great.
Who would have thought that a teenager, barely in his teens, could achieve such martial prowess?
Even the fearsome assassins from the Twelve Heavenly Gang of the Seven Killings Tower were easily defeated by him, his strength being inconceivably strong.
Moreover, as his martial prowess was so formidable, he was also an expert in medical skills, capable of easily resolving the dreaded Blood Poison from the Seven Killings Tower.
His medical skills were no less impressive than his martial capabilities.
A young man, yet able to achieve such accomplishments in both martial arts and medical skills.
This left several disciples of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion feeling shocked and unable to comprehend.
In fact, they all felt somewhat fortunate at this time.
Fortunately, at the banquet, although they were skeptical after hearing some country heirs praise Lu Qing, they did not verbally ridicule Young Master Lu.
Otherwise, they probably all would have ended up as clowns, publicly slapped in the face.
It seems that following the teachings of the elders when going out is correct.
No matter when and where, one must remain humble, never arrogant or complacent because of a momentary whim.
Now, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion deeply realized how sensible the teachings of the elders were back at the sect.
Perhaps this was the real significance of the sect sending them out to experience the world.
Just as the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion were realizing the meaning of their experience,
In the County Lord Mansion, atop a small building. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
The Cloth-clothed Youth was sitting in front of a desk, holding a Jade Pen and writing vigorously on a Dan Book Jade Scroll placed on the table.
As he wrote, the tip of the Jade Pen emitted brilliance, transforming into characters that fell into the Dan Book Jade Scroll, disappearing into it.
After continuously writing for half an hour, the Cloth-clothed Youth wrote all the events of the past few days into the Dan Book Jade Scroll and transmitted it to the sect.
He then put down the pen, stood up, walked to the front of the small building, and looked out at the distant sky with a worried expression.
"The ten-thousand-year upheaval is approaching, the world's situation is about to change drastically, and various forces from the Demon and Evil Paths are also stirring. Where will the fate of humanity go?"
The conversation with "Heavenly Orphan" let the Cloth-clothed Youth know that the upcoming ten-thousand-year upheaval was probably no secret among many top forces.
He also thought about some of the recent information uncovered by Tianji Building, which further deepened his worries.
Feeling a great upheaval was imminent, Lu Qing knew that the world would soon be thrown into chaos. He couldn't help but wonder how many people would meet untimely deaths, their lives reduced to ashes.
He also pondered whether Tianji Building could navigate such a monumental change and preserve itself.
His thoughts then turned to Lu Qing.
Despite being such a mysterious young man, he had never been able to see through him.
Even using the Sect's Exotic Treasure had not clarified his true nature.
It was as though there was always a layer of mist surrounding him, capable of concealing any probing and calculations.
Though Lu Qing's background remained elusive, he always had a sense of warning in his heart, sensing that Lu Qing's power was extremely terrifying. He might not even be a match for him.
Thinking about Lu Qing's age and the last words of the "Heavenly Orphan" before his death,
The Cloth-clothed Youth somewhat agreed with the "Heavenly Orphan's" claim.
Perhaps, Lu Qing truly was an unparalleled genius destined to appear before the imminent changes in the heavens and earth.
Only such a favored child of destiny, born with great fortune, could fearlessly obscure his own fate from their Exotic Treasure of Tianji Building.
But could such a born genius really be so terrifying?
The Cloth-clothed Youth recalled some ancient records from his Sect.
According to those records, when the heavens and earth were about to change, numerous heroes would rise, and many geniuses destined to seize their destiny would appear.
If the talents of these Children of Fate were all as formidable as Lu Qing's, he couldn't begin to imagine the dazzling clash of brilliance when these unparalleled geniuses contested with one another.
How could they, of Tianji Building, adapt to such heavenly secrets and guide the major trends amid these unparalleled geniuses?
Thinking about his Sect's ancestral teachings, the Cloth-clothed Youth felt a chill.
He couldn't help but doubt if the founding Grandmaster of his sect had been too fanciful in his thoughts.
"Zhi Rui, are you there?"
Just as the Cloth-clothed Youth's thoughts were fluctuating, suddenly, he heard a familiar knock at the door.
"I'm here, come in."
The Cloth-clothed Youth casually put away the Jade Pen and the Dan Book Jade Scroll, and spoke indifferently.
The door opened, and Lord County Master, Yan Canghai, walked in, holding some liquor and food along with a chess set.
"What is it?" asked the Cloth-clothed Youth.
"Here to drink and play chess."
Yan Canghai mentioned what he held in his hands.
"Haven't you already had quite a lot to drink this morning at the Wei Family? More drinking?"
The Cloth-clothed Youth was somewhat speechless, finding that his friend seemed to be increasingly indulging in alcohol.
"That bit of liquor was nothing; it was scared away by the assassins from the Seven Killings Tower."
Yan Canghai casually started setting up the liquor, food, and chessboard on the table.
"Come, it looks like you also have many worries. Why not join me for a few drinks?"
The Cloth-clothed Youth thought for a moment, didn't refuse, and sat down at the table.
His friend poured him a glass of wine.
After a few drinks and several moves in chess.
Yan Canghai then asked, "Are you troubled by what the assassin from the Seven Killings Tower said today about the millennial upheaval?"
The Cloth-clothed Youth paused, his expression unreadable, "It's not something you should know; don't ask. Have you forgotten the lessons of the past?"
This time, Yan Canghai didn't back down but smiled instead, "It seems, then, what 'Heavenly Orphan' said was true. The world is really about to change."
The Cloth-clothed Youth remained silent.
After a while, he finally spoke, "Indeed, the world is about to change, but it's not the kind of change you envision.
Yan Canghai, put aside your little scheming; this is not something you can touch.
If you meddle recklessly, it's not just you, even we of Tianji Building, or Holy Mountain, could be shattered into pieces, never to recover.
Do you want to lead the Yan Family toward destruction?"
Hearing this, Yan Canghai's complexion finally changed drastically.
