A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"General, these are the results of our interrogation. This person is indeed a spy of the wolf clan, and the information on that strange cloth should also be true."

Wang Yi took the intelligence report, glanced at it, and then chuckled.

"Don't remember what the other person looks like? Could it be that this person doesn't even know how they were captured?"

After such a long interrogation, Wang Yi was surprised that besides confirming that the wolf clan was restless and wanted to move south, he couldn't even find out who had sent them the message.

The black-armored soldier lowered his head and answered:

"This man's memory seems to be confused. Once asked who captured him, he starts to talk nonsense, trembles all over, and is on the verge of collapse. I really have no way to deal with him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi waved his hand, realizing he couldn't blame his subordinates for their incompetence.

The person who sent them the message was clearly unwilling to come forward, so they deliberately tampered with the wolf spy's memories.

Wang Yi had no way to deal with this.

After sending his men away, he picked up the blank sheet of paper containing the intelligence and gently stroked it with his fingers.

"This thing is definitely not cloth. It's so light, almost negligible, that it's incredibly convenient for writing! Who could have made something like this?"

Wang Yi spent most of his time leading troops in battle. As a famous general of Qin, he was skilled in leading troops, but he knew little about things outside of war.

He knew nothing about the things the Taoists had recently come up with, including the information on this blank paper.

That's why he was so shocked.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Wang Yi felt the sky suddenly darken, as if the sun had been blocked out, and the room became pitch black.

As a disciple of a military strategist, Wang Yi had been on the battlefield for many years and had developed an unimaginable tenacity. Therefore, he immediately realized that he had been pulled into an illusion.

Although he sensed something was wrong, he was unable to break free from the illusion.

Not only was the illusion itself very sophisticated, but the person who cast the illusion on him was also much stronger than him.

"Now that you're here, why hide like this!"

Wang Yi snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever. He calmly sat down, staring into the darkness before him, as if he could see the person hiding in the shadows.

"It's always better to be careful, after all, our relationship can't be revealed yet."

A man dressed as an ordinary Qin soldier in black armor emerged from the darkness.

In his hand he held a famous sword, the Yanri, one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.

The identity of the newcomer was also obvious: the top-ranking assassin of the Luo Wang organization, Yan Ri, whose status was extraordinary.

"Speak! What is it this time?"

Wang Yi waved his hand; he had no interest in these assassins who only dared to hide in the shadows.

He had no good feelings towards them; he only chose to cooperate with Luo Wang, or more precisely, with certain people within Luo Wang, for certain reasons.

Yan Ri did not show any dissatisfaction with Wang Yi's attitude. Compared to his attitude, as long as he could bring enough benefits to Luo Wang, it didn't matter.

"Naturally, it's about the wolf clan. We've also received news that the wolf clan is making a move, and not long ago, the King of Qin sent Meng Ao to lead troops to attack the State of Wei. For this purpose, he has mobilized the only grain available in the country. Shangjun doesn't have enough grain to support it, so it will probably be very difficult for you to resist the wolf clan's army."

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"So, according to you, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, this time someone will send you enough food and supplies, so you won't have to worry about food supplies."

It was as if Yan Ri had come to offer warmth, immediately providing tempting benefits.

Wang Yi revealed an extremely complicated smile.

Despite the fact that so many people in the country were starving and there were corpses everywhere, even the King of Qin couldn't raise enough grain by offering official positions as a lure. Yet, the Luo Wang (a military organization) could obtain enough provisions to supply tens of thousands of troops with just a few words. What an irony!

However, none of this mattered to him. Compared to these things, he was more concerned about the army's food supplies. With enough food supplies and the intelligence from the wolf clan, he was confident that he could make another great contribution.

However, he also knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and the Net wouldn't give him such a big benefit for nothing.

However, up to now, Luo Wang has not made any demands on him. Before this, he was just a spy planted by Luo Wang in the military.

After explaining some things that Wang Yi needed to pay attention to next, Yan Ri prepared to leave.

At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly called out to him.

Do you know who sent us this message?

Yan Ri paused for a moment, then told Wang Yi about the information regarding the blank paper.

"The blank sheet of paper in your hand comes from the Taoist Heavenly Sect. Nowadays, the only people in the world who can freely produce blank sheets of paper are the disciples of the Taoist Heavenly Sect and some Confucian disciples."

"A blank sheet of paper. It seems the Taoists have come up with something extraordinary!"

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Ri continued:

"The person who delivered this intelligence to you this time is likely Bai Yuan, the junior brother of Chi Songzi, the head of the Tianzong Sect. We received intelligence some time ago that Bai Yuan left Taiyi Mountain and has already come to Shangjun."

"If you have the chance, you can try to get in touch with him. If you can win him over, that would be even better. He has quite a few secrets."

Yan Ri said something meaningful, then picked up the Yan Ri sword and left.

After he left, Wang Yi also emerged from the illusion, and everything around him returned to normal, except for Wang Yi himself, who remained in the same spot.

"Somebody come!"

Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, then immediately summoned his men to prepare to send someone to search for Bai Yuan.

Although Wang Yi hadn't interacted with Yan Ri many times, he understood that someone who commanded such respect from Yan Ri was clearly no ordinary person, and befriending him would be entirely beneficial.

However, Bai Yuan and his group had already left Fushi County, the capital of Shangjun, and were even about to leave Shangjun and enter the territory of Zhao. His actions were bound to be in vain.

By the time Bai Yuan arrived at a small town on the border of Zhao, he had already put the events that had occurred in Shangjun out of his mind.

He had done all he could; the rest was up to the Qin state itself.

After such a long journey, Bai Yuan and Ning Yan had almost used up the food they brought down from Mount Taiyi, so they planned to see if there was an opportunity to replenish their supplies here.

Just as they found an inn and were about to check in, a strange man approached them.

"Are you perhaps Mr. Bai Yuan, the junior brother of Chi Songzi, the head of the Taoist Heavenly Sect?"

Bai Yuan showed a hint of doubt.

"you are?"

"My name is Feng Cheng, a descendant of Feng Hu Zi."

Chapter 161 We Don't Need Sword Manual Rankings

Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the other party introduce himself.

Judging from the other person's appearance, it seemed that he had come specifically to find him, but how did he know his whereabouts?

Out of curiosity, Bai Yuan asked directly.

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

"That's right, I've been following you for almost half a month."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan was even more puzzled.

Based on his perception, Feng Cheng, who claimed to be a descendant of Feng Hu Zi, was not very powerful. It was simply a pipe dream for him to follow them undetected for half a month.

It should be noted that apart from Hei, the entire carriage was filled with experts above the Innate Realm.

Seemingly noticing Bai Yuan and the others' confusion, Feng Cheng took the initiative to explain.

"Please don't misunderstand. I wasn't actually following you. With my abilities, I couldn't have followed you for so long without being discovered. I was able to find you thanks to a secret technique of my Feng clan. I won't go into details here, please forgive me. I can only say that I came here with no ill intentions."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly after hearing this. Feng Cheng had been very polite since they met.

Feng Cheng even paid for Bai Yuan and the others' rooms, just so he could have a chat with them.

Bai Yuan did not refuse. He was also very curious about Feng Cheng, or more precisely, about the sword manual established by Feng Cheng's ancestor, Feng Hu Zi.

Back then, Feng Hu Zi appraised the famous swords of the world and ranked them, which became known as the "Sword Manual".

Every sword in the sword manual is a renowned sword, but the ranking of a sword is related to the sword itself and the extent to which it has been developed by its owner, and the ranking is not always fixed.

This was something that Bai Yuan was very curious about from the beginning. The sword manual was revised by Feng Hu Zi, but he had been gone for over a hundred years. So who was evaluating the changes in the ranking of the sword manual?

How can one then win over the public?

Now the answer seems to have been revealed: Feng Hu Zi's descendants may be the ones who maintain and revise the ranking of the sword manual.

As expected, they went to the room to talk in detail. As soon as they sat down, Feng Cheng explained his purpose for coming directly.

Previously, Bai Yuan used the Peach Blossom Sword in places like Sanghai, which made both him and the sword famous.

However, most people are focused on Bai Yuan as a person, while Feng Cheng, or rather the Feng family of swordsmen, is focused on his swords.

Unlike the famous swords in the sword manual, Bai Yuan's Peach Blossom Sword is said to be just a peach wood sword, not a bronze or iron sword.

Yet this peach wood sword is in no way inferior to a bronze or iron sword.

This aroused great curiosity among the Feng family members.

So Feng Cheng was sent to see what was so special about Bai Yuan's Peach Blossom Sword.

From Feng Cheng, Bai Yuan also learned that since Feng Hu Zi's death, the Feng clan has always followed Feng Hu Zi's last instructions and maintained the ranking of the sword manual.

They were a group of passionate sword appraisers who would not participate in any worldly struggles, but simply act as judges of famous swords, striving to rank the world's famous swords fairly.

To some extent, they are a completely neutral force.

It is precisely for this reason that the Feng clan's evaluation of famous swords is generally accepted by swordsmen throughout the land.

Recognition.

Whenever a new famous sword appears, the Feng clan will immediately send people to observe it and then determine its ranking.

Most factions would give the Feng clan face and lend them the sword to demonstrate their power.

This is why the rankings on the sword manual often change.

Of course, the top ten swords in the sword manual have remained almost unchanged since the manual was created.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, I sense that you carry more than one sword. May I have a look at it?"

After explaining his purpose, Feng Cheng seemed a little anxious.
