Chapter 484 - THE MARTIAL ART WORLD (2) (1/2)

YONG MOUNTAINS

HEADQUARTERS OF THE MARTIAL ALLIANCE

A man is standing on top of the balcony of a high tower, clouds is only one feet away above him.

Below him is the large trees that dotted the landscape of the Yong Mountain range.

This area constructed by many martial artists in the past is the headquarters of one of the most powerful orthodox force in the martial art world.

This is the headquarters of the Martial Alliance ruled by the Seven Elders of Wulin. The man looks at the scenery, his eyebrows creased and it is clear his heart is not calm.

There is ambition in his eyes and a fire of determination

He was wearing an elegant black robe that accentuate all the features of his body. Slim and lean, there is this aura of power that radiated around him.

He looks at the large expanse of land beneath the mountain and he harrumphed. He looks back at the letter and he read it once again.

He did read what happens in Silhae so he was not surprised. But he is still angry at the failure.

He clenches the letter he got from his messenger and throw it into the brazier.

'Useless! All three of them are useless' He exclaimed. He then takes a dep breath and calm himself down

The he said to himself

'I still have a chance. That young man would not live long now that the whole martial art world knows that he possesses the Flowing Sword Art manual. If I could grab the chance…..hehehe. I need to send someone to help him when the time come. Then he would trust me'

The man in the black robe then smiles wickedly and continue looking out from the balcony, smiling as he closes his eyes

ZHOU EMPIRE

JINGLING

The winds of winter bows coldly this time of the year on the thirteen year of Ji Fa reign of Zhou.

Fortunately, the cold did not freeze the river but normal people would hardly row their boats in the Zhou River in winter.

The trees on the other side of the river sways gently, resisting the cold wind.

The boat keeps on moving forward with only two people in the large boat.

The boat could be considered a leisure boat but there doesn't seem to be any pleasure girl in the boat and there doesn't seem to be anyone playing melody or songs

Instead there is only two old man. One of them is rowing the boat while the other one lay himself under large umbrella.

It is clear whoever these two old people are they have high internal energy to be able to be out of the chain of the large boat, enduring the blowing of the cold winter

An old man with long flowing beard, his face is covered by a large bamboo hat read a piece of paper detailing the new ranking of the List of Swordsman.

His eyebrows creased when he saw the name on the thirtieth ranking of the List of Swordsman

The old man sighed and said

'This is not right. I did show him the ten moves of the Flowing Swords Art but I also saw how the young man had no hope of mastering it'

He the tilt his head trying to remember his meeting with the young hero.
