I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master
chapter-142-30041322

"Oh, what place are you talking about?"

Lou Hongzhi's gloomy face suddenly showed a curious expression.

Jianglu said slyly, "But the Southern Region is too boring. I'm afraid that even if I tell you, Brother Lou won't go, or it will waste your time. Forget it, I won't say it..."

Lou Hongzhi hurriedly interrupted Jianglu's words.

"Brother Jiang, don't make fun of me. It's my fault. Tell me quickly, I just need an opportunity to improve my swordsmanship."

Jianglu saw Lou Hongzhi's sincere attitude and slowly said, "There is an Ancient Sword Immortal's cave in the Southern Territory of Startling Rainbow Valley that is about to open. Many cultivators have already taken the initiative."

Lou Hongzhi asked curiously, "Has there been any famous Ancient Sword Immortals in the Southern Territory?"

Jianglu said in shock, "To think that you are a sword cultivator who has attained the Dao with the sword. Don't you know that Sword Immortal Cheng He is from the Southern Territory? He is someone who is on par with the Carefree Grand Sage of the Constellations Dao Palace. He has left behind many legendary figures in the Central Plains."

Lou Hongzhi said with a red face, "Is that because I am obsessed with cultivating sword arts, so I don't have the time to understand these strange anecdotes?"

Jianglu laughed to himself and said proudly, "I infer that the cave abode is most likely left behind by Sword Immortal Cheng He."

"Sword Immortal Cheng He..."

Lou Hongzhi repeated the name silently, deep in thought.

"My Master mentioned it before. He just wished that he could be in the same era as Sword Immortal Cheng He."

Lou Hongzhi's eyes became fervent. "I must go to Sword Immortal Cheng He's cave abode."

Jianglu was amused. "See, now we won't waste time, right?"

Lou Hongzhi was ridiculed by Jianglu many times and could not help but retort:

"Don't talk about me all the time. Have you forgotten your mission in the Southern Territory this time? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your master when you go back if you don't finish your business?"

Jianglu did not care at all. "So what? It's not easy to come out once, so of course I want to play more. This time, I only need to go somewhere to confirm one thing."

"The people in that place won't fly away. I naturally don't have to worry. No rush, no rush."

Lou Hongzhi saw Jianglu's appearance and got angry. He snorted and said, "You are not in a rush, I am. I will go to Startling Rainbow Valley first."

After saying that, Lou Hongzhi flew with his sword in one direction.

Jianglu looked at Lou Hongzhi who was running away. He was stunned for a while before he reacted.

"Wait, Brother Lou, you are going in the wrong direction. Startling Rainbow Valley is in the other direction."

...

The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Yu Hongye rushed into the hall and saw her second uncle, Yu Mingzhi, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Yu Mingzhi's ears twitched. He sensed that someone was approaching.

"Ye'er, you are here."

Yu Hongye exclaimed in her heart. Yu Mingzhi's cultivation was so strong. He could tell that it was her just by the sound.

However, Yu Hongye didn't think too much about it.

She came here to report on a major matter.

"Second Uncle, there is an Ancient Sword Immortal's cave in Startling Rainbow Valley. Countless cultivators have gone there to watch it."

Yu Mingzhi opened his eyes and looked at Yu Hongye. He said calmly, "I know. Do you want to go?"

Yu Hongye smiled happily.

"That's right. Second Uncle has indeed predicted everything. I want to go there now to look for some opportunities. It seems that Second Uncle's deduction skills have improved again. You actually guessed my thoughts in an instant. I'm really scared. I don't have any secrets in front of Second Uncle."

"Impudent. Don't tease me about what happened before. Didn't you want your father to lock you up?"

Yu Hongye stuck out her little tongue. She didn't show any signs of fear. Instead, she went forward and hugged Yu Mingzhi's arm, gently shaking it.

As she shook it, there was still a lot of physical contact.

"Second Uncle, just let me go. A lot of people are going, so my Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets naturally has to participate. As the spokesperson of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, I can't let others look down on my Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets."

Yu Mingzhi remained unmoved and shook off Yu Hongye's hands.

"Don't use these tricks. You won't be able to fool me with your nonsense. Tell me, why are you going to that damned place? The Sword Immortal's cave usually has a lot of disputes."

"Those who want to go to that kind of dangerous place to try their luck are either those who have little life left or those who are down and out and gamble their lives in order to break through the bottleneck."

"Is your lifespan not enough, or are the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets' resources not enough for cultivation?"

"There's no need for you to go there at all. If you don't explain your reason clearly, I'll immediately have your father lock you up. I'll let you have a good rest."

Yu Hongye said aggrievedly:

"Second Uncle is a bully. Wu, wu, wu."

Yu Hongye squeezed out a few drops of tears, but she realized that Yu Mingye did not move at all.

Yu Hongye was at her wit's end, so she could only ask:

"Second Uncle, the last time I went to the Carefree Grand Sage's cave abode, you agreed to it. Why did you not agree to it this time?"

Yu Mingye said angrily, "How can it compare?!"

"The Carefree Grand Sage has a pure character. He uses chess to enter the Dao. The inheritance he left behind is only related to chess. Even if you fail to obtain the inheritance, your life is basically not in danger. Even the people who went to the abode were mostly scholars. They would not resort to violence."

"However, this is the abode of an Ancient Sword Immortal. Sword cultivators are good at killing, and that is the cave abode left behind by a Sword Immortal. There will definitely be killing formations everywhere. Moreover, those who go to the Ancient Sword Immortal's cave abode are mostly sword cultivators. Perhaps, before you reach the Sword Immortal's cave abode, you will be robbed by someone. Not only will you be robbed of wealth, you will also be robbed of women."

"Aren't you afraid of losing your life? I am afraid that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets will lose its inheritance. If anything happens to you, how will I explain it to Big Brother?"

Yu Hongye pouted.

"Of course I'll bring enough magic treasures and bring Uncle Zhao Li with me. I'll protect myself well."

Then, Yu Hongye changed the topic and raised her tone.

"Besides, I don't want to go to that cave abode for myself this time, but for Senior Liu."

"I think even if the Ancient Sword Immortal's cave abode doesn't have any legacy treasures, there must be a lot of Immortal Jade."

"Even if you use spirit stones, you might not be able to buy Immortal Jade, and you don't have any sincerity. If I take the risk to get the Immortal Jade this time, only then can I show the sincerity of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets."

"Second Uncle, didn't you say that our Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is just a chess piece, and we have to be the most important one? Why have you changed your mind now?"

After hearing Yu Hongye's words, Yu Mingzhi knew that he didn't say anything else, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing this, Yu Hongye continued:

"Second Uncle, what I said makes sense, right? Can I go to the Ancient Sword Immortal's cave abode now?"

Yu Mingzhi shook his head and said worriedly:

"I'm wondering if this Startling Rainbow Valley is also a part of Senior Liu's chess game. If it really is Senior Liu's chess game, wouldn't you be interrupting Senior's plan if you rashly go?"

"Senior Liu had just asked Sacred Lord Brahma to exterminate the Li family, and this Ancient Sword Immortal's cave suddenly appeared. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
