Chapter 254 Golden Lists Decide Martial Fame (Part 2)
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
The meaning of the Ultimate Experts List was the ultimate experts under Heaven.
If Bai Xiao Hall was willing to explain this briefly, then in fact, the Ultimate Experts List was the same as the Fine Jade List. It clearly ranked the first, second and third, but the evaluation encompassed all sects and clans and all disciples. But such a list was too absolute and too unconvincing.
Because on the Ultimate Experts List, there would be a first and there would be a second.
Whoever was second would want to be first, and whoever was first would face challenges from all under Heaven.
Ji Ruofeng had personally sealed this list after he took over Bai Xiao Hall, but he had opened it again. What was his purpose? Could it be that so many years of controversy over who was number one was about to come to an end?
Sikong Changfeng looked at the disciple from Bai Xiao Hall and said, "What is your position in Bai Xiao Hall?"
The disciple bowed his head respectfully. "Besides our Hallmaster, Bai Xiao Hall has no hierarchy. We’re all mere wanderers in this martial world. If Spear Immortal Sikong wishes for me not to read the Ultimate Experts List, I will simply not read it. However, the Ultimate Experts List has been distributed to all the sects and very soon, all under Heaven will know it."
"All right." Sikong Changfeng flicked his spear and half of the spear’s shaft pierced into the ground. He folded his arms across his chest. "You read!"
"Ranked fourth tier in the Ultimate Experts List," the disciple began slowly.
The Ultimate Experts List was divided into four tiers. The fourth tier had four names, the third tier had three names, the second tier had two names and the top tier had one name. Therefore, exactly ten people could make it into the Ultimate Experts List. All the disciples held their breath even though this Ultimate Experts List obviously had nothing to do with them, but the list that everyone cared most about was still this one. A sealed list that had been reopened after more than ten years. Everyone wanted to know how the experts of the martial world were ranked now. This was something even more curious than whether or not they could get into the Fine Jade List.
"Ranked fourth tier in the Ultimate Experts List, Yan Zhantian, Tan Taipo, Xie Xuan, Li Tian."
Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, Tyrant Sabre Tan Taipo, Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan. These three people were of course familiar names to everyone present, but that King of Murder, Li Tian, whose whereabouts were unknown, actually appeared on the list. Rumours were that he was already dead. Looked like Bai Xiao Hall had already confirmed that the rumours were false.
"Ranked third tier on the Ultimate Experts List, Sikong Changfeng, Zhaiyue Jun, Tang Lianyue."
A wave of cheers from the Snow Moon City disciples came from behind.
Many people didn’t really know how strong the Spear Immortal was. Ji Ruofeng once said that of all the spear power under Heaven, Sikong Changfeng possessed eight-tenths of it. But, in the martial world, people who used the spear were far less than those who used sabres and swords. So, even if you said he was powerful, how powerful could he be? At least now they could conclude something. He was stronger than both the Wrath Sword Immortal and the Confucian Sword Immortal. As for Zhaiyue Jun, she was the Nanjue Sabre Immortal whose lightness skill was considered ultimate and her sabre techniques were ghostly. She was already ranked higher than the previous number one of Nanjue, Tan Taipo. As for the third person, Tang Lianyue, his name had not been mentioned for a long time. But now that he was mentioned, everyone remembered that this was the young man whom the Tang Clan had placed very high hopes on. He, too, had not been forgotten by Bai Xiao Hall.
Sikong Changfeng smiled slightly. "I thought I could get into the top tier of the Golden Lists."
Wuxin shrugged. "Does Senior Spear Immortal really care about the ranking on the Golden Lists? I would have thought that once you reach this realm, you can transcend the world, and care little for fame and fortune."
"If you ever meet this Ji Ruofeng, you will also be interested in his evaluation," Sikong Changfeng said quietly. "No one can ignore him. Not my da-shixiong, and not that desolate sword immortal living all alone in his city."
"Ranked second tier on the Ultimate Experts List, Luo Qingyang."
Just as Sikong Changfeng mentioned him, Luo Qingyang's name was announced. The disciples behind him began to whisper, and even Sikong Changfeng's expression changed slightly. Since Luo Qingyang was ranked in the second tier, then clearly, he was no longer ranked number one under Heaven. So, the number one under Heaven was still Snow Moon City’s Baili Dongjun? But was there anyone else under Heaven who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Solitary Sword Immortal?
Could it be the Second Citymaster of Snow Moon City, Li Hanyi? If it were her, then the three citymasters of Snow Moon City would be ranked in the top three tiers. That would be a story worth telling.
"Ranked second tier on the Ultimate Experts List, Baili Dongjun."
The Bai Xiao Hall disciple announced each word one at a time, every word spoken as clear as it could possibly be. But all the Snow Moon City disciples who were present were certain they’d heard it wrong.
"Did he say second tier, Baili Dongjun?"
"That seems to be the case. Indeed, it’s second tier, Baili Dongjun."
"How is that possible, then who could be in the top tier!"
"Did he read it wrong?"
"Could it be that Second Citymaster broke through into the next realm during this trip, surpassing the First Citymaster?"
Wuxin turned his head slightly and frowned at Sikong Changfeng. He knew that Li Hanyi had been seriously injured and lost most of her martial arts. Don’t even mention being in the top tier of the Ultimate Experts List, she didn’t even qualify to be on the list anymore. "Senior Spear Immortal, could this top tier place be taken by that Grand Eunuch of Heavenly Revelations City?"
"No." Sikong Changfeng shook his head. "Don’t even mention the top tier of the Ultimate Experts List. Whether he could even be considered number one in Heavenly Revelations City is completely unknown."
"Then, it would be the Director of Astrology from the Directorate of Astronomy, Qi Tianchen?" Wuxin had a thought.
"Impossible. Not a single person from Heavenly Revelations would be included on the list. The rule of the Golden Lists is to evaluate only the rest of the world, and never the imperial court. None of the martial experts in the imperial court will ever be included in the list. Otherwise, those celestial masters and grand eunuchs, not to mention, the old eunuchs in the Imperial Mausoleum will never rest,” Sikong Changfeng explained.
"The old eunuchs in the Imperial Mausoleum?" Wuxin was taken aback.
"Each emperor’s reign has Five Grand Eunuchs. Did you think that the previous Five Grand Eunuchs would die at the same time as the previous emperor? Those who are alive will be sent to guard the Mausoleum. This was a rule set by the first emperor of Beili to prevent the dictatorship of the court eunuchs.” Sikong Changfeng stared at the Bai Xiao Hall disciple. "Enough dramatics. Just announce the list."
"Let me hear it. Who is the number one under Heaven in Ji Ruofeng's eyes."
"Ranked top tier on the Ultimate Experts List, Mo Yi." The Bai Xiao Hall disciple said the last name.
The entire city was silent.
Sikong Changfeng frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Wuxin shook his head, expressing confusion.
Those Snow Moon City disciples didn't dare to make the same noise as they did with the Fine Jade List earlier, even though their inner monologue at the moment was the same as when they heard the top ranking name on the Fine Jade List.
Who the hell was that?
After a long time, someone couldn't help but whisper, "Who is Mo Yi?"
"Yeah, who is Mo Yi?"
"Could it be some martial expert in hiding?"
"We’ve never heard of such a thing. Does Third Citymaster know?"
"Why didn't Second Citymaster make the list?"
The voices of doubt became louder and louder, and finally all the confused eyes were cast on Sikong Changfeng.
Sikong Changfeng smiled bitterly, still staring at the Bai Xiao Hall disciple. "So as they said, Mo Yi. Who is he?"
So, even Third Citymaster Sikong Changfeng had never heard this name before.
So, why was this person number one under Heaven?
