Chapter 153: 153 Sure enough, it’s him!

Translator: 549690339

Divine City, outside the Martial Academy.

Princess Chang’s phoenix carriage arrived once again. After ten days, the grand competition had finally ended, and the ten martial scholars had been determined. Today was the day to grant them their titles, and she naturally had to be present. Otherwise, her presence on the opening day would have been in vain.

With the decline of the Martial Academy, the so-called martial scholars had become insignificant in officialdom, though they still held some use in the military.

However, with the support of a major figure like Princess Chang, the weight of this title was not the same.

This time, she again invited Gu Yunfei to accompany her.

Today, she was delayed by some matters and had arrived a bit late.

At the entrance of the Martial Academy, a group of people was respectfully waiting for Princess Chang.

Inside the carriage, Princess Chang was flipping through a dossier, with her hand supporting her chin, her eyes thoughtful.

This dossier, which had just been delivered to her in the morning, had detailed information about Gu Yang.

“Lian Mountain…”

Gu Yang first appeared at Lian Mountain. It was an unremarkable range in Jiangzhou.

The dossier also attached a particular piece of information that could not help but spur certain thoughts.

A hundred years ago, Heavenly Extreme Taoist, the then Dao Sect figure, was killed at Lian Mountain by an individual from the Literary Academy.

Since then, the Dao Sect, once the leader of the six major sects, had been severely damaged and hadn’t recovered to this day.

In the following hundred years, the Dao Sect had been extinct in the martial arts world.

If it weren’t for a Dao Sect representative on the Grandmaster’s board, everyone would have thought this sect already extinct.

From this dossier, it was challenging to figure out Gu Yang’s origins.

The things he knew were too diverse. “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” of Shen Family, possibly obtained from the treasure of the Shadow Thief.

Then there’s “God Destroyer Nine Styles” of the Wu Family, this was a bit strange. Today, Wu Family only had Wu Lingling left, and given her age, she definitely did not know any saber techniques. Although there are some techniques scattered throughout the martial world, only in the royal family does complete inheritance exist.

How did he learn it?

The most puzzling thing is the “Six Heavenly Annihilations”.

As for the rumors that Gu Yang was a disciple of Blue Sky Palace, she sneered at them because she knew that the Blue Sky Palace never took in male disciples.

So, the question is, how did he get this Saber technique’s legacy?

There were only three places in the world where one could inherit the “Six Heavenly Annihilations”; one was the Blue Sky Palace, and the second was the royal palace

“Could it be… that woman?”

A deep murderous intent flashed in Princess Chang’s eyes.

Sitting across the curtain, Gu Yunfei only felt a wave of chill rocking him to his core. His heartbeat almost stopped.

Soon, that chills disappeared without a trace.

Gu Yunfei swallowed, a lingering fear in his heart, and his back already drenched in sweat.

Princess Chang did not pay attention to the frightened Gu Yunfei; she was still thinking about that woman.

Twenty years ago, because of that woman, her father and mother were brutally murdered by Wu Da.

She was the youngest daughter of the late emperor and was very spoiled. At that time, she contracted a severe illness and was kept in the palace, thus escaping the tragedy. She did not end up dying in the hunting ground together with her hundred-plus older brothers and sisters.

When it came to that woman, she harbored an intense hatred.

However, after her father died, this woman disappeared. There was only a name left on the master list.

Could this Gu Yang be sent by that woman?

As Princess Chang was thinking, she suddenly heard some commotion. “The First Rank list has changed again, could it be that Gu Yang again?”

These words immediately brought her thoughts back.

The First Rank list has changed?

She lifted the curtain and looked. Her gaze penetrated a distance of several hundred meters and went through the crowd, seeing an old man changing the list.

Could it really be him?

Rationality told her that after being on the First Rank list, it was impossible to have such a significant rise in just ten days.

But thinking about Gu Yang’s incredible past records, she wavered.

Finally, the old man finished changing the names.

However, her vision was blocked, and she couldn’t see the names on the list.

“It’s Prince Jinghai, the first ranker has changed.”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

Someone exclaimed in shock, “Prince Jinghai’s name has disappeared, has he achieved Divine Power?”
