Chapter 270 Yuan Tiangang
Time flies by like a white horse, and the list of strong people released by Tiandao is still being updated in an orderly manner.
[Number ten on the Strongest List, the Tang Dynasty's Bad Guys and Bad Leader—Yuan Tiangang! His cultivation has already reached the remarkable realm of a terrestrial immortal!]
As this news was announced, it was like a thunderclap, and the entire martial arts world instantly fell into a boiling state.
"Wow! Finally, a powerful person at the level of a terrestrial immortal has shown up! We have been waiting for this for a long time, and the flowers are almost withering!" Some people were so excited that they danced with joy, their faces full of excitement.
"The Bad People? I have heard of them. I heard that they seem to be a mysterious organization under the Tang Dynasty that combines intelligence gathering and assassination operations. I never expected that their leader would be such a powerful land immortal!" Others whispered to each other, amazed at the result.
At this moment, in the magnificent Taiji Hall of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was sitting on the dragon throne, and next to him stood the masked Yuan Tiangang.
Li Shimin smiled and said slowly, "Congratulations, my dear minister Yuan! Your inclusion on the Strongest List is truly an honor for the Tang Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang quickly bowed and responded respectfully, "It is thanks to Your Majesty's careful cultivation and kindness that I have achieved what I have today. In the future, I will do my utmost to serve Your Majesty, and I will never stop until my death!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Yuan Tiangang's loyal words, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the mysterious and majestic Heavenly Dao announced the generous rewards that should have belonged to Yuan Tiangang one by one, and then continued to update the subsequent process in an orderly manner.
Yuan Tiangang held the exquisite pill bottle with slightly trembling hands, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement.
He knew very well that the elixir contained in this small pill bottle was extraordinary. Its efficacy was not only to thoroughly cleanse the impurities deposited in his body over the years and remove the obstacles blocking his meridians, thereby achieving the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow; what was even more surprising was that these magical elixirs could actually cure his long-standing chronic diseases and old injuries.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but feel excited, because this meant that he finally had the hope of getting rid of his half-human, half-ghost appearance and becoming a normal person.
Li Shimin, who was standing to the side, saw this and smiled kindly. He encouraged Yuan Tiangang softly, "My dear Yuan, since such a precious and rare elixir is now in your hands, take it while it's still hot. Don't let this heaven-sent opportunity go to waste!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang quickly bowed and responded with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will do my best to fulfill my mission and recover as quickly as possible."
After he finished speaking, he carefully opened the lid of the pill bottle, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
Meanwhile, inside the inn, the stunningly beautiful and graceful Wanwan stared intently at the constantly refreshing list of powerful individuals displayed on the screen above her head. With a look of surprise on her face, she turned to the equally striking Zhu Yuyan beside her and said, "Master, look, I can't believe there are so many top-tier experts in this world who have reached the realm of earthly immortals!"
After hearing what her disciple said, Zhu Yuyan was silent for a moment before slowly nodding her head in agreement. "Yes, Wanwan is absolutely right. I originally thought my own cultivation was quite good, but compared to these true masters, I'm far behind. It seems I must practice even harder from now on, otherwise I'll never reach the supreme realm of the earthly immortals."
However, at this moment, a burst of shrill, sarcastic laughter suddenly came from the entrance of the inn without any warning: "Hahahahahaha... Zhu Yuyan, ah Zhu Yuyan, no matter how hard you try to cultivate, you will never be able to enter the realm of the immortals on land in this lifetime!"
Following the direction of the voice, everyone's eyes fell on the entrance of the inn.
There were several graceful figures standing there, like fairies descending from heaven, which was a feast for the eyes.
Especially the woman in the lead, who was a little older, but more mature and charming, with an elegant and dignified temperament.
However, when Zhu Yuyan saw these figures, her originally calm face instantly became stern.
She snorted coldly and said in a cold tone, "Humph, who did I think it was? Turns out it was you, a bunch of shameless and brazen women from Cihang Jingzhai!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yuyan seemed to feel that she was not satisfied enough, and continued to sneer: "Fan Qinghui, Fan Qinghui, you actually have the nerve to laugh at me? Don't you think about whether you have made it onto that so-called strong list! After all, I, Zhu Yuyan, am ranked 100th now!"
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Fan Qinghui's heart.
As expected, Fan Qinghui's face instantly turned gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.
She has always been resentful about not being able to make it onto the list of the strongest and has found it difficult to let go.
Being mentioned to him in person by Zhu Yuyan at this moment, the anger in his heart suddenly flared up.
Just as a fierce conflict was about to break out, Shi Feixuan, who was beside Fan Qinghui, quickly reached out and grabbed her, gently admonishing her, "Master, don't be impulsive. We are here to carry out an important mission under the order of our Grandmaster. We must not let a momentary anger lead to mistakes!"
After hearing this, Fan Qinghui took a deep breath, as if to expel all the uneasiness and doubts in his heart with this breath.
Then she nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the current situation.
Faced with Zhu Yuyan's sarcastic words, Fan Qinghui chose to remain silent and no longer pay attention to the other party's provocation.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Qinghui's beautiful and sharp eyes began to quickly scan the entire inn.
Her eyes flashed across every corner like lightning, not missing any suspicious trace.
It wasn't long before she successfully captured the target she was looking for.
I saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Then, without hesitation, Fan Qinghui led the others in a brisk walk in that direction. Their steps were light and firm, as if they had already locked onto their prey.
And this direction is exactly the road leading to where Lin Tian and his group are.
Obviously, Fan Qinghui's purpose of coming this time was very clear - to find Lin Tian and his group.
To be more precise, the person she really wanted to find was Zhang Sanniang.
Not far from Fan Qinghui and the others, Zhu Yuyan sat there quietly, watching their every move.
Seeing Fan Qinghui and others moving so decisively in a certain direction, Zhu Yuyan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
She frowned and wondered to herself, "What the hell are these guys doing? Why are they suddenly rushing over there in such a hurry?"
However, despite being full of doubts in her mind, Zhu Yuyan did not act rashly. She just continued to stare at Fan Qinghui and the others, trying to find some clues from their subsequent actions.
As for why Zhu Yuyan has never been able to detect the true identities of Zhang Sanniang and others, the reason is not difficult to understand.
Firstly, Zhu Yuyan didn't pay too much attention to Lin Tian and others at the beginning, so naturally she would not deliberately explore the specific situation of each of them; secondly, Lin Tian used his powerful true energy to cleverly isolate the communication between them in advance, making it difficult for outsiders to peek into the secrets.
