Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 563: Chapter 209: Blood Burning Saber Skill

...

Thanks to the Hidden Dragon Order’s magical properties, anyone possessing it can check the rankings of various Hidden Dragon List martial artists through it.

The news that Lin Zheyu defeated Xiao Shi and moved up to 30th on the Hidden Dragon List spread by the next day.

”Mom, the Lin Zheyu they’re talking about, is he the Mr. Zhao we met before?”

”I heard from my senior sister that Lin Zheyu previously used the alias Zhao Hao when he first appeared in Ruyang City.”

Pingyang City, Shuiyun Palace.

Liang Yunhui listened to the idle chatter of others, and curiously asked.

Liang Yunhui has decent talent and successfully passed the Shuiyun Palace assessment to join the sect.

However, she is just an Outer Disciple and needs to pass assessments to prove her talent and comprehension before being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple.

”Don’t talk nonsense.”

”About Mr. Zhao, don’t mention it to anyone, and don’t tell others we know him,” Liang Yuhan softly said.

”Got it.”

”I haven’t told anyone.”

”But Mr. Zhao is really amazing. That’s the Hidden Dragon List! It’s only been a few years, and the next time we hear about Mr. Zhao, he’s already ranked 30th on the Hidden Dragon List, an unparalleled genius,” Liang Yunhui said, full of admiration.

Thinking of Mr. Zhao, she couldn’t help but recall Xiaohei, wondering if the little guy had gotten chubbier.

Like Liang Yunhui and her mother, many people who had interacted with Lin Zheyu heard the news of him defeating Xiao Shi and becoming the 30th on the Hidden Dragon List.

”What the hell!”

”Mr. Lin is so awesome!”

”Damn, I knew Mr. Lin was extraordinary, but holy crap, who knew he’d be this extraordinary!”

Wang Jing, who joined the Liangyi Sect, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he heard about Lin Zheyu making it onto the Hidden Dragon List. He even asked around to confirm it was the Lin he knew.

”This boy actually hid his strength and falsely reported his age. But with such a young face, no wonder he dared to tell me he was only in his thirties back then...”

”Sigh, it’s a pity I rashly joined the Liangyi Sect. Otherwise, I could have asked Mr. Lin for an introduction and surely joined a better sect.”

Wang Jing couldn’t help muttering, feeling more and more regretful as he thought about it.

His investment in Lin Zheyu was successful, but he was the first to join another sect.

”No way, I need to find a chance to go to Wuling City and get familiar with him. I wonder how the relationship between Liangyi Sect and Infinite Sect is; if it’s good, maybe I can ask Mr. Lin to help me become a True Disciple.”

Wang Jing thought to himself.

The first invitation Lin Zheyu received for the Lee Family auction was also given by him. Without that invitation, perhaps none of this would have happened later.

But setting aside the connection through the invitation, their relationship at the time was indeed quite good, with some mutual respect.

If possible, Lin Zheyu wouldn’t mind giving him a helping hand.

The Lee Family also heard about Lin Zheyu, and Lee Mengqi and her brother were very happy for him, even sending a generous gift.

Besides some former friends and sparring partners, even those with old grudges heard the news.

The Tang Family was relieved, having paid a steep price to resolve enmity with Lin Zheyu.

But the Pei Family’s patriarch was somewhat agitated.

”Why isn’t he dead yet?”

Pei Zhuangzhi’s voice was very low, tinged with anger and frustration.

At the time, he advocated for peace, like the Tang Family, by sending someone to resolve the conflict.

After all, everyone who messed with Lin Zheyu is dead now, and there’s no reason to fight the entire Pei Family, which can’t afford to provoke Infinite Sect behind Lin Zheyu.

But, unfortunately, other elders didn’t agree.

”Pei Xuan said he’d take care of it, and we don’t need to get involved.”

Pei Yuqiu said helplessly.

He had a good relationship with his brother Pei Yuchun, but not to the extent of avenging him and risking danger.

Like Pei Zhuangzhi, Pei Yuqiu also supported reconciliation, but Pei Yuchun had a powerful son.

Bam!

Pei Zhuangzhi slammed his palm hard on the table, shattering it with a bang.

”Handling, handling... Damn it, so long, and that guy’s not dead. His talent is only getting scarier!”

”Now, Lin Zheyu’s position in Infinite Sect is becoming increasingly important. If he wanted to target the Pei Family, it’d be a piece of cake!”

”If only we’d sought peace earlier, none of this would’ve happened!”

Pei Zhuangzhi suppressed his internal rage and said discontentedly.

”That’s Pei Xuan’s biological father. Given Pei Xuan’s character, how could there possibly be reconciliation?”

”If you really went to reconcile with Pei Xuan’s father’s enemy, don’t you think Pei Xuan would act even more recklessly?”

Pei Yuqiu explained helplessly.

Pei Zhuangzhi understood that since Pei Xuan’s father was the one who died, reconciliation was utterly impossible. Pei Zhuangzhi just needed a venting outlet.

”Go tell Pei Xuan to quickly deal with the matter. Infinite Sect’s suppression of our business has become increasingly ruthless recently.”

”Tell him that if this continues, with the Pei Family’s income sharply reduced, there’ll be no silver taels to support Pei Xuan’s research on demon martial artists.”

Pei Zhuangzhi glared at Pei Yuqiu, his anger dissipating quite a bit.

He pondered for a moment and continued, ”And also, ask about those people who were sent. I want to see the research results, whether Pei Xuan’s method is truly feasible.”

”I’ll talk to him next time I see him.”

”As for those people, most have successfully transformed into demon martial artists, and they’re more stable than ordinary ones, less affected by Yin Sha power.”
