“What if someone rides off with my horse that I tethered at the foot of the mountain? It may not be worth much, but it is a gift from my senior brother.”

In the martial arts world, there is no lack of petty thieves. If someone turned up while he was up the mountain and stole his horse, wouldn’t that cause him, Meng Chong, embarrassment?

He looked up at the path to the mountaintop, noticing its steepness would make horse-riding a bit challenging.

Meng Chong scratched his head, suddenly having an idea.

He turned to his horse and hoisted it onto his shoulders, beginning to ascend the mountain.

The horse thought, “How thrilling, I get to ride a human again!”

Atop the plateau of the mountain, Meng Chong appeared, carrying his horse, before the crowd on the stage.

The martial arts experts of Wu Country opened their eyes wide in shock.

They saw a robust youth carrying a horse, as if descending from the sky, landing on the stage.

Senior Wu, who was seated on the stage, jumped in surprise, almost out of breath with his face growing red and his hand holding his cane trembling.

Where did this horse-carrying lad come from? It almost scared him to death!

After catching his breath, Senior Wu demanded angrily, “Hey lad, where are you from? Don’t you know the rules? State your name!”

Meng Chong glanced around, coldly retorting, “I am Meng Chong, the one you all want to capture. Here I am, anyone who wants to capture me, step forward!

“Once I have defeated all you fools, I still need to claim my reward from the Emperor of Wu!”

Meng Chong!

All the martial arts experts present were shocked and many were thinking of fleeing.

This robust and horse-carrying youth evidently had extraordinary skills.

“So, it’s Meng Chong!”

Senior Wu was overjoyed and announced, “Whoever captures Meng Chong will become the Alliance Hierarch, attack him!”

With a wave of his hand, Senior Wu swiftly moved aside with his cane to avoid being involved.

“Attack!”

The experts shared a glance and moved forward eagerly.

“I have him!”

One expert held Meng Chong, trying to subdue him, but it was as if he was trying to shake a mountain, impossible to move.

“Watch this!”

Whoosh!

A shooting star dart was sent straight to Meng Chong’s shoulder blade, intending to penetrate it and incapacitate him!

Bang!

The dart hit Meng Chong but fell straight down without causing any injury.

“Attack together!”

The martial arts experts swarmed towards him.

Meng Chong stood still with the horse on his shoulders, indifferent to their assault. They launched all sorts of moves; those who could grab his legs did so, those who could pull his arms did so. They were flushed in effort, using every ounce of their strength.

They stacked up like a human wall, surrounding Meng Chong in the middle.

Even the horse that he was carrying had people jumping onto it, almost completely engulfed by the human wall.

Senior Wu, the old fox observing from a distance, was surprised by this.

This horse-carrying youth was incredibly strong and robust!

This was not a place to stay for too long!

As a man of the martial arts world who had lived to such an age, he was not ordinary.

“Disciple, let’s leave quickly”

He immediately called out to his disciple standing by his side.

“Yes, master!”

His disciple, too, sensing a bad turn, quickly picked up senior Wu and they made their escape.

Boom!

Suddenly, the stage collapsed.

A golden, radiant light burst forth accompanied by an aura of terror, sweeping in all directions.

One by one, shadows of people were flung outwards from the stage as if the sky was raining down on them.

“Impossible, how can he be so strong!”

“I’m done for, I think my ribs are broken!”

“What, your ribs are broken? Great, finally a chance for revenge. Old rascal, your life ends here!”

“… ”

Many martial arts experts lay scattered on the mountain top. Some even saw it as an opportunity for revenge when they noticed their enemies were badly injured.

They launched themselves at their enemies!

However, most of the martial artists were horrified, looking at the horse-carrying lad with a terrifying aura, like a god descending from the heavens.

The radiant golden light made even the horse he was carrying seem extraordinary!

Gulp!

“What kind of martial arts is he using?”

“How can there be such a powerful martial artist in the world?”

“Qi Country! Is the rumored expert from Qi Country real?”

“Why don’t we have anyone like this in Wu Country?”

The martial arts experts were horrified.

Meng Chong looked down at the martial arts experts who lay scattered around him. He ignored the ones taking advantage of the situation to retaliate against their mortal enemies. With his gaze cold and intimidating, he asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to capture me, Meng Chong? Feel free to make your move!”

Silence!

No one dared to make a sound.

“Where is the Alliance Hierarch’s command?”

Meng Chong continued to ask.

Once he received the the Alliance Hierarch’s command, he could logically ask the Emperor of Wu for the title of ‘Marquis of the Martial World’.

Meng Chong always acted rationally and justifiably, ensuring that the Emperor of Wu had to acquiesce.

“It’s…it’s with Senior Wu!”

Finally, someone responded in a hushed voice.

Meng Chong looked around; the old man had run away.

“Old fox!”

He grunted, leaped up carrying his horse, and darted down the mountain.

Halfway down, he saw a bronze token embedded in a large tree.

With a twitch of his lips, he thought about how the old fox, Senior Wu, had been able to survive this long for a reason.

During his time in Wu Country learning martial arts, he had already known about this famous figure in Wu Country’s martial arts world. Truly an old fox, seeing strengths beyond most people’s comprehension.

“This old man!”

Meng Chong reached out to remove the Alliance Hierarch’s command, set the horse free after descending the mountain.

Afterwards, he headed straight to the capital of Wu Country.

On Tianping Mountain, the martial arts masters were picking themselves up, all of them still in shock.

They had almost died!

“Hahaha, I’ve finally taken my revenge!”

“Meng Chong, good man!”

“Bastard, dare to kill my master, I’ll never let you go!”

The martial artists on Tianping Mountain were in chaos, many of them greatly impacted.

Is there really a master in this world?

Is the Qi’s unparalleled martial arts real?

Wasn’t it just made up by fraudsters?

…

The capital of Wu Country.

The Emperor of Wu was in a bad mood. Being cooped up in the palace was making him sick.

However, every time he tried to go out, his ministers would block him.

The ministers were not having a good time either. They carefully selected their house servants, for fear that people like Meng Chong might infiltrate their residences.

For those relatives and clan members with whom they had a bad relationship, they simply wrote to the emperor asking him to be a witness of them severing all relations!

Not only that.

When they go out, their bodyguards are carefully chosen. Carriages or palanquins needed to be sturdier to prevent arrows from being shot in and getting killed.

Even in the capital, they were always apprehensive each time they attended court, fearing a sudden appearance of an assassin intent on sacrificing his life for revenge.

When did life start becoming so difficult?

It all started when that bastard Meng Chong attempted to assassinate the Emperor of Wu.

And the worst of all, what the hell were the Emperor of Wu’s guards doing? They actually let Meng Chong escape!

There were recent rumors that a big event had happened in Qi Country. The new Grand Tutor, the Crown Prince’s master, the Emperor Qi’s sworn brother, the former minister of personnel Guo Rongshan’s grandson, was a martial arts master.

A strong presence that could suppress Qi Country’s army on his own.

Of course, the ministers of Wu Country did not believe it.

“It’s just that Emperor Qi is incompetent, Guo Rongshan has seized control of the government, and this is just an excuse.”

“I heard that Guo Rongshan’s grandson, what’s his name again? Has been obsessed with storytelling since childhood, he treats stories and biographies as real, seeks masters everywhere. There’s even a rumor that he’s mentally ill.”

“This Guo Rongshan is really something, silently and suddenly took control of Qi’s politics, even the Emperor Qi has to listen to him.”

“Be careful what you say! If our emperor gets suspicious because of this, our lives will become more difficult!”

The Wu Country’s ministers were quietly discussing before the court session began.

The Emperor of Wu attended court with a black face.

“Has Meng Chong been caught?”

The first sentence at court was about Meng Chong.

The Secretary of Justice gritted his teeth and said: “Your majesty, the martial arts people have gathered on Tianping Mountain for the reward. I believe Meng Chong will be captured soon.”

“You’re all incompetent! The face of my Wu Country has been utterly lost!

“A reward of 100,000 pieces of gold, a 3000-year-old ginseng, ten precious medicines, such a generous reward, and yet Meng Chong has not been captured. What use are you to me!”

The Emperor of Wu was furious.

The ministers looked at their feet in silence, every court session was like this. They would wait for the Emperor to finish venting his anger, then they could start discussing affairs.

They were used to it!

“Speak!! Why are you all silent, have you all gone mute?”

The Emperor of Wu roared angrily.

“Your majesty, please take care of your health!”

“Yes, your majesty, your health is important!”

The ministers began to try and calm him down, their attitudes somewhat perfunctory.

It felt like a routine.

After all, it wasn’t the first time.

“Besides those words, what else can you incompetent fools say? What I want is Meng Chong captured!”

The Emperor of Wu slammed the table and roared.

“Emperor Wu, I am here. Is my reward ready?”

At this moment, a voice echoed from outside the main hall.
