"Why? Why would he have the South Li Halberd? This halberd was not obtained by Xiang Ji, the overlord of the West Chu, and the Nan Li Halberd disappeared after Xiang Ji and Wu Jiang were defeated that year. A thousand years have passed without any news, but today, I have seen the sacred artifact of my ancestor in the Yuelu Academy." Kong Wuwei muttered to himself.
"Dauntless, are you alright? What are you talking to yourself about!" Zang Qingtian had known Kong Wuwei for many years, and he knew a lot about Kong Wuwei.
"Qingtian, do you know my true identity?"
Kong Wuwei became serious for a second.
It was beginning to make Zang Qingtian unaccustomed to it.
"You often say that you are a descendant of the Great Chu Imperial Family, I always thought that you were joking. Don't tell me that you are really a descendant of the Great Chu Imperial Family, the Han Emperor actually created a testamentary edict to kill the Chu Imperial Family's descendant.
Kong Wuwei rolled his eyes at Zang Qingtian and said snappily, "What I said was true. My ancestors were the younger brother of the Great Chu Emperor.
King Nanli's name was too resounding.
He was sent by the Chu Emperor to guard Qiizhou for dozens of years without any conflicts between the Da Chu and the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. At the same time, he used assimilation tactics to divide over a hundred tribes of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.
Although Zang Qingtian was not a high-ranking officer leading troops, he still knew of the Southern Li King's achievements.
"Who is your ancestor called 'King Nanli'? If not for the fact that King Nanli has the Xiong Family surname, why would you call him Kong Wuwei?" Was Zang Qingtian's head filled with paste? He was truly worried for his intelligence. He was very curious as to how Yun Che managed to cultivate to half-step into the Spirit Emperor.
Kong Wuwei rolled his eyes at Zang Qingtian and said snappily, "Let me correct you one more time, the surname of the Great Chu Empire is Xiong, not only that, there is also the Xiong Family, and there is also the Great Han Dynasty who occupies the borders and mountains. Back then, Liu Ji's Jiang Shan was the one who seized my Chu's territory, so how long do you think I can live for, three days, or even five days?"
"Hahaha!"
Zang Qingtian gave an awkward smile.
I'm usually pretty smart, what's the matter with me today?
"That's right!" Zang Qingtian changed the topic. "You mentioned King Nanli, could it be that the little fellow below is also a descendant of King Nanli like you?"
"No."
Kong Wuwei answered decisively without thinking, "When my ancestor was killed, my grandmother hid herself in the cellar to avoid being hunted down by the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Ji. I am sure that I am the only one left from the Southern Li King's bloodline."
"What I'm worried about is that the halberd in his hand is my ancestor's Saint Weapon, the 'South Parting Halberd'. Back then, this halberd was personally bestowed by Emperor Chu Sheng to my ancestor. If the ancient records are correct, the South Parting Halberd is a medium-grade saint artifact."
"Saint... "Instrument!"
Zang Qingtian's eyes turned red. He had swallowed his saliva several times. The temptation of a saint artifact was too great.
In this half-step Spirit Emperor realm, the most powerful one was only a level eight spirit weapon. There was also a level nine spirit weapon on top of it, so it was said that a saint artifact was able to suppress the nation's luck.
A child wielding a medium-grade saint artifact was like a man guarding a mountain of gold without knowing how to develop it.
"Fearless, are you going to ?" Zang Qingtian made a choking gesture.
"Can your thoughts be a little purer?" Kong Wuwei's eyes did not show any greed, even when facing the Holy-ranked Artifact, he was still able to maintain his calm, his mind cultivation had reached an unfathomable realm.
"I don't know how the Southern Li Halberd ended up in Su Qin's hands, but there's one thing I haven't been able to find for decades. Since he was fated to be in possession of the Southern Li Halberd, I won't snatch it away from him, but I still need to talk to him.
Zang Qingtian pretended to be regretful as he said, "Then it's truly a pity. A medium-grade saint artifact is a treasure that countless people dream of obtaining. Don't you feel it's a pity to give it up? I remember that your Void Prying Blade is also only a ninth grade spirit weapon. A single saint artifact can increase your combat power by one fold.
"You are testing me. Qingtian, you have known me for more than a day or two. You know that I am not that sort of person, so there is no need to waste your time. If you like it and I don't stop you, I believe that with your ability you will be able to take the South Parting Halberd." Kong Wuwei threw the question to Zang Qingtian.
"Haha, don't take me for an idiot. I really did steal that little fellow's South Parting Halberd. I believe the first person who wouldn't let me go would be you."
Kong Wuwei and Zang Qingtian both revealed relaxed smiles.
Su Qin faintly felt a pair of eyes staring at him from below, but he was unable to find where the person who was staring at him was.
Until a sound transmission reached his ears, the pair of eyes had actually hidden itself in the air.
"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm." Su Qin heard a voice.
The person who sent the sound transmission was Kong Wuwei who was hiding in the alternate space.
"There's a bamboo forest 3 km away, where should I wait for you?"
After the sound transmission ended.
Su Qin felt that the person who was hiding in the darkness and observing him had disappeared. This was the seventh time the man told him that the person who sent the sound transmission had gone into the bamboo forest.
Someone who could avoid his spiritual sense detection must be a peerless expert, so he didn't dare to take the risk alone. The most important thing to do was to call Xiang Zhong, Fan Ziyu, and Jin Shaoyun.
Su Qin had participated in the outer sect competition of South Court, but the three people did not follow beside him. The strongest people of South Court were Min Xing and Dong Jizhong, and these two were merely at the middle and late stages of Spirit emperor stage.
Now, things were different. There were people hiding in the dark, and he didn't notice anything. It was unknown whether this person was a friend or foe. Xiang Zhong, Fan Ziyu, and Jin Shaoyun were all in the Spirit Emperor Realm back then, and their realms had been suppressed to the early stages of the Spirit king stage due to the Heavenly Dao.
If they were to break the seal, it would definitely set off a violent storm.
Su Qin then sent a sound transmission to Xiang Zhong, Fan Zi Yu and Jin Shaoyun, telling them to wait at the entrance and hide in the shadows to follow him to the bamboo forest for a gathering.
bamboo forest
The first generation of the Yue Lu people who grew it grew it, and after that, no one else would be able to take care of it, either. In a thousand years, the bamboo forest was lush and flourishing, and every bamboo was the size of a bowl, and there was not much difference between the trees and the bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, Kong Wuwei and Zang Qingtian quietly waited.
"Someone's coming."
Kong Wuwei's expression tensed up, he could sense three powerful auras.
Zang Qingtian released his divine sense and desperately tried to sense what was inside. He didn't find anything, not even a single living creature, that approached the bamboo forest.
"Kong Wuwei, you can't be having problems with your sensitive senses, right? Why didn't I notice anyone approaching me? Unless they had a higher cultivation level than you and I and were able to avoid my consciousness? It seems that the only one in your academy who is in the Spirit Emperor realm is the principal, while the other strongest is only in the half-step Spirit Emperor realm. "
The approaching three streams of air were all stronger than him and Zang Qingtian. If Kong Wuwei had not cultivated the laws of small dimensions, he would have been unable to discover the person who was approaching.
