Eternal Sword

Chapter 522: Overlord of the River
The members of Bashan Sword Sect stayed at Yunmeng Villa.

In the past few days, all major martial arts sects and gangs have arrived one after another.

The entire Yunmeng Villa became extremely lively, with crowds of people.

Yunmeng Villa holds the Yunmeng Sword Contest every year and is quite experienced in this area. It has placed the major gangs and sects in different areas according to the six states, in an orderly manner.

Some sects with grudges against each other would be deliberately separated to avoid conflicts.

These days, the martial arts conference has not officially started yet, and the owner of the manor, Yun Yifeng, has been entertaining the leaders and gang masters of various major sects and gangs every day.

If it weren't for some deep blood feud, some of the grudges between sects might have been resolved at the banquet.

Disciples from various major sects are naturally not qualified to attend this kind of banquet.

Yunmeng Villa had already prepared the banquet. Every time it was time for dinner, people could take their own food, just like the buffet in the previous life, which was quite convenient.

Some friends in the underworld, who usually don’t have the chance to meet due to long distances, also take this opportunity to have a small gathering.

Chen Tang took this opportunity to travel around the major sects in Yunmeng Villa.

I did see a few familiar faces, such as Shen Zhiyuan from Shujiantang, Su Muzhe from Taohuawu, and Yan Shu from Huanhua Sword Sect.

The two seemed to have secretly decided to spend their lives together. They went out in pairs and were quite close.

Before, Old Lady Su of Langya Pavilion did not allow Su Muzhe to be with the female disciples of Huanhua Sword Sect because of some past events.

I guess that as Old Lady Su has grown old, she has let go of many things and no longer cares about them.

This is a good thing for both of them, as it saves them from having to be secretive and not even dare to express their affection.

Chen Tang didn't know that this matter was somewhat related to him.

Old Madam Su did not allow Su Muzhe and Yan Shu to be together. Besides the personal grudges they had in the past, she also wanted to serve as a matchmaker between Su Muzhe and Zhiwei.

But after the battle at Langya Pavilion, Old Lady Su found that Chen Tang was a good guy and seemed more suitable for Zhiwei, so she let Su Muzhe go. By chance, a marriage was created.

Due to his status, Chen Tang did not go up to chat with Shen Zhiyuan and the others.

Chen Tang also saw Master Bai of Feixue Hall, Miss Su and her husband, and their daughter, Bai Ruoqing.

When the two saw Chen Tang, they smiled and greeted him from a distance.

When Bai Ruoqing saw Chen Tang, her eyes lit up and she ran over to ask him all kinds of questions.

Chen Tang responded briefly, apologized to Master Bai and his wife, and found an excuse to leave.

He and Ali agreed to meet at the martial arts conference.

But after turning around for a few times, he didn't see anyone from Taoyuan Valley. He couldn't help feeling disappointed and a little worried.

The martial arts conference hasn't officially started yet, let's wait and see.

Taoyuan Valley has been secluded from the world for many years and is not used to participating in such occasions, so perhaps it would not come so early.

Chen Tang comforted himself.

"Little brother!"

At this moment, someone suddenly patted Chen Tang on the shoulder.

He was startled and subconsciously turned around and took a half step back.

Even though he was a little distracted just now, he was unaware of the person approaching him. I'm afraid even Tianyin couldn't do that!

The man opposite looked unfamiliar. He was wearing a coarse cloth short shirt, with his arms and calves exposed. His palms were unusually broad, he had a burly figure, rough skin, and graying temples, but his eyes were bright and full of emotion.

"You are Chen Jing, right?"

The visitor asked in a rough voice, "Who was the one who killed the Tantric monk?"

Chen Tang didn't know the other party's intention, so he was secretly on guard. Instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Haha, little brother is quite cautious!"

The man laughed and said, "My name is Jiang Feng, I'm from the boat gang, I just arrived today. I heard Wang Xiang and the others mention you, little brother, and they were full of praise for you, so I came to meet you."

After hearing this, Chen Tang’s doubts were mostly dispelled.

This man's dress is indeed somewhat similar to that of the brothers in the boat gang.

"Thank you for the things on the boat, little brother."

Jiang Feng said: "If you have any problems in the future, come to the boat gang and find me directly. I will help you solve it." "Thank you, senior."

Seeing that he was older and had strong cultivation, Chen Tang called him "senior".

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng frowned upon hearing this and waved his hand, saying, "There is no such thing as senior or junior. All the boatmen are brothers. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother."

"Brother Jiang Feng."

Seeing that this man had a straightforward personality and a hearty laugh, Chen Tang felt a bit of favor towards him. He couldn't help but laugh and changed his address.

"Easy to say!"

Jiang Feng laughed again and said, "I'll go in first and say hello to the host."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Being able to greet the owner of Yunmeng Villa, it seems that Jiang Feng from this boat gang is no unknown person.

After returning to his residence, Chen Tang mentioned this matter to Ye Yushi, only to find out that this person was actually the leader of the boat gang, and a powerful master at that.

He once participated in the Battle of Xiajiang and blocked the Wu Dynasty army on the bank of Xiajiang River. He became famous for decades and was feared by the people in Southern Xia. He was known as the "Overlord of the River".

“Such a big shot!”

Chen Tang was secretly shocked.

Jiang Feng was not at all arrogant, and he dressed casually like the other gang members. Who would have thought that he was actually a master, the leader of a gang!
"Has anyone from Jiange arrived?"

Chen Tang asked.

In the past few days, he has been paying attention to the news from Taoyuan Valley, but Ye Yushi is most concerned about the situation in Jiange.

"not coming."

Ye Yushi shook his head slightly and said, "I heard from Master that he just asked someone to send a letter to Yunmeng Villa, saying that the four rankings of Fengyun, Tiandiren and Ren will be announced after the martial arts conference."

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something.

Ye Yushi said: "All the major sects have arrived. The Sword Pavilion is not coming. Master Yun announced that the martial arts conference will be officially held tomorrow."

There is no news from Taoyuan Valley yet.

It seems that after the martial arts conference, he will find Song Wu to inquire about the location of Taoyuan Valley.

No matter what, Ali followed him across the ocean and came to Nanxia.

Now that he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, he couldn’t just ignore it.

Day two.

The martial arts conference officially begins.

On the bank of Yunmeng Lake, there is an extremely wide open space where all the major sects and gangs gather according to the distribution of the six states.

In addition to the first-rate sects in the Six States such as the Bashan Sword Sect, Shujian Hall, Tea Ceremony Sect, and Boat Gang, there are also some second- and third-rate sects in the martial arts world, and some representatives have come.

Like the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, Chen Tang saw Mei Qingyuan, Mei Zhenyu, Zhu Lingxue and several disciples arrived.

At the scene, Chen Tang also saw an acquaintance.

The top of the local list, He Shiyao!

Zuixianlou is located closest to the main seat, and many people came here today.

He Shiyao stood in front of the crowd, holding a folding fan in his hand, and next to him stood a young girl in red brocade clothes.

At the very front of Zuixian Tower, sat an old man with white hair and beard, a rosy face, wearing a loose robe and having a kind face.

"He is the drunkard."

Ye Yushi said in a low voice.

Chen Tang nodded secretly.

Judging from the attitude of the people around him towards the old man, he had already vaguely guessed it.

At this moment, Zui Weng glanced over here as if unintentionally.

Chen Tang remained calm, but was shocked in his heart, and a chill suddenly rose behind him!
He even suspected that with just that one glance, Zui Weng had seen through his mask.
