Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 351 - 245 Two Months_2

Ning He pondered and said, "Bi Prefecture is quite remote; it takes a long time for news to reach here. However, we already received something close yesterday; maybe in the next couple of days, there will be a result."

Speaking of which.

Recently, there had been continuous updates from Bi Prefecture about the various geniuses on the Wind Cloud List clashing, but there was never any news about Chen Mu. Had it not been for some information they received from the Seven Profound Sect, they would have wondered if Chen Mu had even gone to Bi Prefecture.

Just as everyone in the courtyard had shifted their thoughts to Chen Mu.

Suddenly.

A maid rushed in; it was Ku’er, who stayed by Chen Mu’s side.

"My lady, Miss... there’s news of the master, it’s being talked about outside. They say it’s about the master and the Wind Cloud List, something about being ranked twenty-seventh," the little maid said while catching her breath.

This statement startled everyone in the courtyard; they were all momentarily befuddled.

"Twenty-seven?"

Chen Yue’s face looked somewhat strange, "Could you have heard it wrong?"

Although the last ranking had Chen Mu falling to the thirties, returning to twenty-seventh was an improvement, but she heard half a year ago that Chen Mu had gained fame slaying demons at Yunlu Pass and had already mastered the Qian Heaven Artistic Conception. Even if he didn’t make it into the top ten this time, he shouldn’t be ranked as low as twenty-seventh—it seemed far too low.

Could there have been some accident?

For a moment, Chen Yue looked at Ning He and the others with suspicion and uncertainty.

Xu Hongyu and Ning He also appeared momentarily stunned, they too were closely concerned with everything about Chen Mu and found the twenty-seventh ranking a bit too odd.

But just then, someone from the front courtyard came to report:

"The Wang Family has sent someone to congratulate the master, presenting congratulations gifts..."

"The Yu Family has sent someone to congratulate..."

"The Commander-in-chief Xie has come to congratulate..."

"The City Lord Xue has come to congratulate..."

The continuous reports pouring in left everyone in the courtyard dumbstruck.

Although somewhat confused, Xu Hongyu quickly reacted, signaled Chen Yue and the others to change their attire, and headed to the main hall.

In the main hall.

They saw not only Xue Huaikong, Xie Changfeng and other big figures of Yu County, but also Yu Zuyi, the family head of the Yu Family, who had arrived at some unknown time, chatting and laughing with people from different families of the Inner City.

"Grandfather, how come you are here too?"

Xu Hongyu entered the main hall and saluted Yu Zuyi.

Yu Zuyi said amiably, "Chen Mu did something so remarkable that it has alerted the Cold North Eleven Northern States. How could I not come?"

Did something remarkable?

Xu Hongyu turned her head to look at Ning He who was behind her, both of them were a bit puzzled.

Seeing Xu Hongyu’s expression, Yu Zuyi couldn’t help but chuckle, "You still don’t know? On the Yunni Sky Steps, Chen Mu defeated Zuo Qianqiu and claimed the top spot. He is now the number one newcomer in the Northern Path."

Not only Xu Hongyu and Ning He, but even Chen Yue and Yu Ru, who were hiding behind listening, were stunned and stood frozen with shock evident in their eyes.

Newcomer... first? Continue reading at novelbuddy

Yu Ru glanced at the nearby Chen Yue, whispering in a puzzled manner, "Didn’t they say, twenty-seventh?"

Although she spoke in a very low voice, from the back of the hall.

But the figures in the hall were no ordinary people, from Yu Zuyi, who was at the perfected Bone Tempering Realm, to the Prefectural Governor Xue Huaikong and Commander-in-chief Xie Changfeng, both of the Five Viscera Realm.

Xue Huaikong, who was standing nearby, his eyes flickered with a trace of indecipherable complexity, but he quickly suppressed it and turned to the somewhat dazed Xu Hongyu, "This time, the true inheritor Chen not only ranked first on the Wind Cloud List of the Northern Path but also ascended to the Wind Cloud List and is now placed twenty-seventh. This is the first person since the founding of the Wind Cloud List by the End of the World Sea Pavilion to be listed in the Five Viscera Realm."

Wind Cloud List twenty-seventh!

Perhaps in terms of potential or other factors, it may not be as prestigious as the number one newbie, but for people like Xue Huaikong, the significance of the Wind Cloud List was far greater because it represents absolute strength!

This group was almost the cream of the crop just below the Grandmaster, those ranked toward the top could even rival Grandmasters, and their status far exceeded that of common practitioners in the Five Viscera or Six Viscera Realm, it’s indeed truly a step towards standing shoulder to shoulder with Grandmasters!

Grandmaster.

This was an entirely different concept.

If Chen Mu had only topped the newcomer’s chart, even if his talent was unmatched and he was the best of his generation, Xue Huaikong, as the Prefectural Governor of Yu County, may not have personally come to congratulate him, after all, in terms of Martial Arts Cultivation, it was still fundamentally at the same level, and his ability to serve as Prefectural Governor, overseeing an entire prefecture, meant the Xue Family held deeper influence in the Seven Profound Sect.

But making it onto the Wind Cloud List was different. Although not actually advancing to a Grandmaster, he had reached the steps comparable to one, and his status was now on par with the Inspector Yan Jingqing, not to mention everyone knew that Chen Mu, while still in the Five Viscera Realm, had made it onto the Wind Cloud List, and his future wasn’t limited to just the twenty-seventh position, going forward, compared to a typical Grandmaster, there wasn’t much difference.

Therefore.

This Prefectural Governor also had to personally come and pay his respects.

Hearing Xue Huaikong’s words, Xu Hongyu, Ning He, and those in the back of the hall including Chen Yue, Yu Ru, were all somewhat astounded; they knew all too well the significance of the Wind Cloud List, where everyone listed was a long-established figure, even those at the lower end were supreme entities like the Inspector Yan Jingqing!

The difference between the newcomer’s chart and the Wind Cloud List was simply too vast; the newcomer’s chart was at most a ’reserve’ for Grandmasters and the Wind Cloud List, not every one of them might get a chance to ascend. However, once on the Wind Cloud List, one was a true powerhouse capable of traversing states and paths.
