Chapter 315
**Achievements:** The current chief of Qingyuan Sect, Yunzhao Sword Hero, and Qingluan Goddess, has crossed borders in the southern frontier to slay numerous disaster beasts. In the battle of Qingmu City, he commanded an unparalleled army, maneuvering tens of thousands of soldiers with the precision of an extension of his own limbs, creating formations that rivaled the grandeur of the outside world. His mastery of music has captured the true essence of the Qingluan clan leader, surpassing the original. He later summoned the True Phoenix to the world, driving back many high-ranking disaster beasts.
**Alias:** Guya Goddess, Cold Fairy
...
**Fourth on the Qianlong List:** Li Mo
**Martial Arts:** Observing the Five Senses, Hammering the Heavens, Symbolic Martial Arts that delve into the mysteries of creation, with an unclear understanding of divine forms.
**Achievements:** He has cut down Helian Wu, the former sixteenth on the Qianlong List, with the prowess to face ten thousand foes, capable of commanding a hundred factions of soldiers. Amidst the chaos of a hundred thousand troops, he beheaded the former dynasty's national master, dispelling the phantom of the Blood God, and striking fear into the southern frontier. Together with Ying Bing, he defended Qingmu City, wielding the Hammer of Heaven to turn the tide.
**Alias:** Prosperous Wife, Little Overlord of the Divine Hammer
The lakeside of Yulong Lake fell into silence.
Even the top three on the Qianlong List were no longer the focus of attention. After all, it was still the same three: the current crown prince, the young master of Tianshan Sword Manor, and the Holy Son of the Demon Summoning Sect, who had already been discussed ad nauseam.
If there were to be discussions, they would revolve around the next positions in the top three...
Would it still be these three?
Countless faces in the Jianghu of Yunzhao wore expressions as if they were dreaming, lost in thought for a long time.
The bad news was that many had guessed correctly: something significant had indeed happened in the southern frontier, and it was even bigger than they had imagined.
The good news was that the matter had already been settled.
Even experts from the Human List and Earth List might not have been able to handle the situation.
It was resolved by two rising stars from the Qianlong List.
In the tavern.
“Ah? This...”
Zhong Zhenyue looked bewildered.
He had just made a firm resolution to go down in flames, having built himself up mentally for so long that he felt ready to ignite.
Now, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him.
“...”
Elder Xu's face turned red, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say:
“How can they be so impressive at such a young age?”
“Alright, alright...”
Elder Zeng let out a heavy sigh of relief, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth from curling up.
He thought there would be no more surprises, but it turned out they were even more impressive than before. Where could he find reason in this?
“Does this mean we don’t need to gather the heroes to defend Yunzhao anymore?”
“Hahaha, since they’re already here, let’s invite them to Jian City for a drink.”
“Absolutely, let’s toast to our Sword Hero and Li Jianxian, and celebrate!”
The elders were overjoyed, with Elder Zeng even claiming to have found inspiration, planning to write a couple of poems that night.
Zhong Qintai’s expression, which had remained unflinching in the face of calamity, finally relaxed a bit, though his demeanor grew increasingly complex.
He looked up at the three suns.
The heavy burden on his shoulders still remained.
“Let’s set off for the capital.”
When the King of Zhen Nan spoke, his voice regained its calm.
Zhong Zhenyue was about to say something when Zhong Qin interrupted:
“They will eventually come to the imperial capital; you can wait for them there.”
“Yes, Father.”
...
In the Eastern Wilderness, Ziyang City.
Ziyang City didn’t have a Dragon Gate, but every issue of the Jiutian Shidi Fengyun List was posted on the notice board at the city gate.
It was posted by the Qingyuan Sect.
As long as it was a sect recognized by the court with its own fief, they would receive the news around the same time.
The news had arrived.
In the Happy Hotpot restaurant, everyone fell silent.
The elders exchanged glances, recalling how at the beginning of the year, that kid was still naive and had never been exposed to martial arts, while that girl was still troubled by her cold condition, facing the danger of a short life.
Suddenly, these two names appeared in the top five of the Qianlong List.
They had become renowned heroes across Jiutian Shidi, truly making a name for themselves.
It hadn’t been long since then.
Why did it suddenly feel like a lifetime had passed?
“No need to leave, hahaha, we don’t need to go anymore.”
Xue Jing was grinning from ear to ear.
“That brat, why hasn’t he replied to my Tongxin Bell?”
Shang Wu was happy inside, but her beautiful face was pouting in annoyance, hands on her hips, saying that when Li Mo returned, she would give her precious disciple a good talking-to.
“Five pieces of Xuanjing! Five! If I had known, I wouldn’t have filled the warship all at once.”
Elder Qian’s face twitched in pain:
“Forget it, it’s done now. Let’s eat first.”

**Chapter 343: Li Mo Recovers at the City Gate to View the Rankings**
In the southern frontier, Qingmu City.
The weather was fine, and the remnants of snow that hadn’t yet melted sparkled in the sunlight, except for the eaves of the Jiawei Tavern, which had no snow at all, having melted away long ago.
Perhaps it was due to the mysterious fluctuations occasionally emanating from a certain private room.
The Prosperous Wife Little Overlord was still unaware that another commendable title of his had vanished, and his dream of becoming a Sword Immortal was drifting further away.
He was in the midst of dual cultivation.
Under the harmony of Yin and Yang, the effects of "Phoenix Ming Tian Ze" had improved significantly; his injuries were nearly healed.
Today was about right; he could set off to gather the power of all beings.
Little Li was fully prepared!
“Li Mo, why do you keep... staring at me?”
“Oh, that’s part of my preparation too.”
“?”
“Your aloof expression helps onlookers perceive me as profound and mysterious, unlike an ordinary person.”
Li Mo had now mastered the cold demeanor of Bing Tuozi, achieving a resemblance that was seven parts accurate!
This was all thanks to his hard work during dual cultivation, staring face-to-face at Bing Tuozi’s features!
The remaining three parts were mainly lacking in his own face.
The hint of red on his neck was something he could never replicate, and probably wouldn’t need...
As he spoke, Li Mo revealed a refined, aloof, and deep expression.
The cold face of Bing Tuozi—Little Li’s version.
“Looks good, right? Don’t you think I suddenly have a divine aura?”
“.....”
Ying Bing’s beautiful eyes momentarily lost focus, then she silently withdrew her hand and said softly:
“It’s time to set off; Clan Leader Shang and the others should be waiting below. Remember to take off your clothes.”
“Take off my clothes?”
“Your training outfit; it can only be worn during practice.”
“But this is my best-looking outfit.”
Li Mo fondled the golden sun pattern on his clothes, reluctant to part with it.
He didn’t have many outfits to begin with.
A few were standard garments for Qingyuan Sect disciples, one was sewn by his mother, and another was made by Princess Jiang.
But those clothes didn’t quite suit his temperament.
Since he was going to perform... um, gather the power of all beings, it wasn’t just about acting; the costume and props had to be on point too.
That’s right.
Our Best Actor at the Golden Statue Awards doesn’t rely solely on looks; that’s quite professional.
The key was that it was the same outfit Bing Tuozi was wearing.
Thinking this way, he felt quite proud.
“Then you wear it.”
Ying Bing tied her hair up neatly, knowing that if Li Mo wanted to wear it, he would secretly change into it once they were outside.
She instinctively smoothed out the wrinkles in his collar:
“But you must return early; otherwise, the consequences are on you.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo was puzzled.
What consequences could come from a piece of clothing?
He didn’t quite understand.
The two of them went downstairs together, and upon entering the tavern’s main hall, it was bustling with martial artists who had mastered symbolic martial arts.
But it wasn’t a problem; Li Mo had a bit of understanding in this area and could blend in perfectly.
“This outfit...”
Wu Qing looked at the two descending the stairs, resembling a golden boy and jade girl.
She raised an eyebrow, contemplating whether to order a matching set for Feng Ge, and asked:
“Xiao Mo, where did you get this couple’s outfit made?”
“Hmm?”
Shang Qinqing perked up, pulling out a handful of sunflower seeds from who knows where.
“Tsk, no wonder you didn’t want that set of the former dynasty’s phoenix crown and bridal gown; it turns out you had something more suitable—one sun and one moon, quite thoughtful.”
Li Mo glanced at Bing Tuozi, cleared his throat, and said:
“This is a training outfit, also my performance costume.”
Wu Qing: “?”
Is this how young people date these days?
Ying Bing lowered her gaze, seriously and calmly replied:
“Yeah, it’s better for training.”
“What kind of training?”
Shang Qinqing, being the goddess of love in the Great Shang Dynasty, keenly picked up on the nuances.
“Dual—”
Li Mo was about to speak when he suddenly felt a familiar sensation on the top of his foot, as Bing Tuozi gently stepped on it.
Ying Bing’s expression remained unchanged:
