Chapter 421: All Parties In Attendance (II)
The Lius of Skystar Dynasty were quite famous and known by the nickname of the God of Wealth. Of the nine ministries, the inspector general of the Ministry of Finance was the old man of the Lius. He was incredibly intimidating, but it should be only some side branch members of the family who’d come to the province. While they were also noteworthy, the young man didn’t care since they weren’t from the main branch.
“The woman is not a simple character either,” the old man transmitted back. “Although she is not one of the thirty-six, she is still a renowned Silver Moon martial master from back in the day. She married into the Bai family and her husband is the vice commander of the Tiger Wings. The other Bai branch is on good terms with the Ministry of Armed Forces in Skystar City. It’s said that they’re involved with the royal family... They are absolutely not what they seem.”
The young man inclined his head once more.
......
Heartjab Daughter Madame Bai was chatting with a few other young men and women. She waved a greeting to a young man with frost in his hair and murmured, “What is that one doing in Silver Moon?”
A young man next to her took a look in the relevant direction and responded with casual contempt or possible jealousy, “Perhaps he’s too heavily suppressed in the central region by those people and came here for a breather.”
Another younger woman next to him—or rather, a girl—asked curiously, “Brother, who is he?” She didn’t seem to be aware of this person.
“Xu Feng.” The young man didn’t want to respond, but did so curtly when his younger sister remained curious.
Xu Feng.
The girl thought for a bit, puzzled, then thought of something. “Is he... is he the Icefrost Swordsman Xu Feng on the Divine Masters Ranking?”
“What Divine Masters Ranking!” grumbled the young man. “It’s just an unofficial ranking that some amateurs put together. Look at you treating it like a real thing!”
“Brother, are you jealous?” giggled the girl.
“Why would I be jealous of him?”
“He’s one of the ninety-nine dragons and phoenixes on the ranking!” she tittered. “The Divine Masters Ranking records ninety-nine of the best powerhouses younger than thirty. One major province typically only has one person on the list. Although Xu Feng is ranked in the rear—I think ninety-seven a few days ago? He’s still very strong!”
Or it could be better put as super amazing strong! Although it was only a listing of those below thirty years old, it still included a lot of powerhouses as the supernatural had only been around for twenty years.
The girl was immensely excited. Madame Bai smiled next to her and didn’t say a word. The Divine Masters Ranking was similar to the Record of Heroes back in the day. It wasn’t an official ranking, just something cooked up by interested parties. It wasn’t a definitive ranking either as there were those who preferred a low profile while others basked in the limelight. Not everything could be taken into consideration.
When it came down to it, the Ranking was not as famous as the Record. The Record of Thirty-Six Heroes was acknowledged by the entire martial world, while the Ranking was popular only in the central region. The provinces of the four directions would not recognize it. None of their powerhouses had fought in the central region, how would they admit that the youngsters there are stronger than them?
The Central Youngsters Divine Masters Ranking might be a more appropriate title.
Xu Feng was an ice Heaven Favored of the mid Nova level. Incredibly domineering, he was only ranked ninety-seven. Plainly, there was still some merit to this ranking despite its limited popularity. Someone like Hu Qingfeng had not made the list.
A loud rumble overhead interrupted the thoughts of Madame Bai and the rest of the group. They raised their eyes overhead to see Yu Luocha thrust her palm out. Thunder and lightning erupted with a roar and forced Blue Moon and the others back.
A thunder powerhouse!
There was something special about Yu Luocha’s power as it appeared purplish-black. It exploded with extreme force. The clap of thunder brought everyone’s attention back to their clash.
......
Over the canyon.
Manager Yu’s expression was as frosty as usual. She didn’t follow up her palm thrust with another move. Instead, she coolly denounced, “Have all of Red Moon’s hidden personnel come out, Blue Moon! There can’t be just one Tidal Wave from the elder’s council. She was already in the three northern provinces. You alone are not worthy since Red Moon has decided to go against the director!”
You are not worthy!
Blue Moon flushed with indignation and anger crept into his eyes.
“Has Indigo Moon come? Or is it Green Moon?” An aloof Yu Luocha looked in the four directions, speaking slowly. “Since you’re here, why not come out? Blue Moon and Violet Moon are respectively their second and third generations. That’s fine against the youngsters, but I am not young anymore.”
“We’re all young, younger sister Violet Moon.” Laughter traveled in from the distance, along with a complaint. “Since when did we get old?”
Violet Moon blinked, then realized that the newcomer wasn’t talking about her. She was talking about Yu Luocha, the first generation Violet Moon!
“Violet Moon is young, but I am old.” Yu Luocha smiled—it was a bizarre sight for a smile to appear on such a standoffish face. “I thought it would be Indigo Moon here, but to think it’s Green Moon...”
A figure abruptly appeared in front of Blue Moon and the others. A plump body clad in a long green skirt, her green locks flowed in the wind. The sunny smile on her face appeared particularly inviting.
Green Moon of the Seven Moons!
“It’s... you, Green Peacock!” Golden Spear frowned. “How are you worthy of being Green Moon? I’ve often wondered how Ying Hongyue ranked his Seven Moons and why Yu Luocha is the last as Violet Moon. I thought I understood when I learned that Black Widow is Orange Moon. He is rather shameless to grant those who’ve slept with him a higher ranking!
“My theory is confirmed today, but how dare you be ranked ahead of Yu Luocha when you are less than even the Heartjab Daughter??”
Normally of few words, this string of denouncements was a clear indication of Golden Spear’s annoyance!
Not only did Green Moon’s expression shift, but so was Madame Bai in the distance equally resigned. What are you dragging me into this for? But... she really hadn’t known that Green Peacock was Green Moon. As expected, Golden Spear was widely experienced. Green Peacock possessed some fame, but as Golden Spear said, Green Peacock was less than her back in the day.
“The times have changed, Golden Spear!” Green Moon looked frostily at Golden Spear, the smile dropping off her face.
Golden Spear answered with a surge of blood qi and roared, “No matter how they have changed, it is never a slutty peacock’s turn to lecture this old man! I would curse Ying Hongyue to his face for being shameless if he was here! How dare he put a whore he’s slept with over Yu Luocha?! Don’t forget, he was once one of the thirty-six! He has no right to humiliate Yu Luocha!”
“......” Even Yu Luocha was speechless now. That’s enough, old man! She didn’t really care about this, but it appeared that he did. Thank goodness she couldn’t be bothered to hold a conversation with him before, or they would’ve dissolved into exchanging insults long ago.
Golden Spear was furious about none other than Ying Hongyue placing one of the thirty-six heroes as the last of the Seven Moons. The ignoble Green Peacock was ranked ahead!
He could accept Black Widow since she was part of the thirty-six as well, but Golden Spear did not accept Green Moon no matter what! It was an affront to the entire Record of Thirty-Six!
“Ying Hongyue’s lost his brains with all the sleeping around he’s done!” raged Golden Spear. “I’ll chop off his empty head sooner or later!”
He suddenly seemed to understand why Ying Luo had turned on her former organization. This was too great of an insult!
Manager Yu was at quite a loss. She knew that the old man was stuffy and old fashioned, but it was her first time seeing just how far he could take the mindset. He was beside himself for just an enemy’s ranking!
Green Moon flared her presence; a domineering sensation surged over the scene. Late Nova!
Such overwhelming force shook even Golden Spear, but the old man remained unmoved and stared coldly at Green Move. So what? That was very normal! Blue Moon was a mid Nova and there was an Indigo Moon between them. It wasn’t out of the norm that Slutty Peacock had reached late Nova. He just wasn’t satisfied by the situation. Her accomplishments were all the result of Red Moon, not her own skills!
When did it come to her being placed over Yu Luocha??
Green Moon stared coolly at the man, her presence building until suddenly—wham!
A blade’s hum rang through heaven and earth! Blade light broke through the void. Standing behind Golden Spear, Wang Qing smiled.
A tall and muscular man wearing a navy blue military uniform landed on the ground. He looked expressionlessly at Green Moon. “What, do you show utter disrespect toward us just because you’re a supernatural now, Slutty Peacock?”
Blade intent soared to the heavens when he took a step forward!
“There stands three people in front of you today who were existences that you once looked up to. Do you think yourself something just because you have a little bit of strength? You would have more dignity to your name if you had the Black Widow come. You? Hah!”
An exceedingly unpleasant expression spread across Green Moon’s face! She was a right and proper late Nova, one of the Seven Moons of Red Moon. She was a preeminent existence even in the central region. Everyone showed her some face! But here, she was the target of snubs and insults!
And yet... and yet, she was also a Silver Moon martial master and knew how brazen these people once were. Who would’ve thought that they’d still be so arrogant years later?
“Berserk Blade!” she snapped back. “Don’t live in the past! It’s been twenty years since the rise of the supernatural and martial masters are relics of the past! Recognize the times you live in!”
“It’s one thing for someone else to say that,” Golden Spear sighed. “As trash as you are, you were once a Silver Moon martial master. To think that you’d say the same thing too... As expected, trash is trash!”
They could pretend not to hear it if supernaturals voiced these sentiments, but to think that a Silver Moon martial master would say the same thing, and with pride and jeering! They disdained having anything to do with her!
When others said so, they did so with a sigh, regret, or reluctance. But there was absolute schadenfreude in her voice! No wonder martial world experts couldn’t bother themselves with her. Only Ying Hongyue liked the taste of her.
