Chapter 78 Senior Liang

"How can there be a pinnacle?"

"At this moment, the ultimate peak descends..."

"They've come with ill intentions!"

The three top experts in black had given up on intercepting Ji Fan and Chen Yao. With the final battle approaching, their primary goal was to protect themselves.

"Is that him..." Chen Yao looked up at the light blue ball of light flying through the air, then stared intently at the three top-level men in black opposite him.

Ji Fan, on the other hand, jumped off the ship's deck, then landed on one foot, shattering the deck before landing in the cabin.

Crash—!

After shattering two layers of wooden planks, Ji Fan, dressed in blue, landed in the cabin and saw Ling Heng and the others still fighting.

"Master Ji."

Jiang Yanming stood beside the corpse of the man in black, observing the battle. When he saw Ji Fan descending from the sky, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing this, the men in black who were fighting Ling Heng and his two companions withdrew and gathered together to await reinforcements, as they dared not engage in combat with top experts.

Ji Fan ignored the men in black huddled together for warmth, glanced at the corpse at Jiang Yanming's feet, and asked, "Young Alliance Leader, are you alright?"

"There's a little blood on it, but it's not mine," Jiang Yanming said, smoothing his clothes. "How's the battle going?"

"We were initially at a disadvantage, but fortunately, the Supreme One appeared." Ji Fan said, still feeling lingering fear.

The men in black brought far too many experts. There were three top experts, more than ten first-class experts at the fourth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the number of experts at the third and second levels of the Qi Condensation Realm far exceeded that of the Great River Alliance.

"Which master is it?" Jiang Yanming couldn't help but ask, "And what is their relationship with my Great Jiang Alliance?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who has come should be Senior Liang from one of the three major families in Jiangnan," Ji Fan said solemnly.

……

The surface of the Yangtze River.

A figure shrouded in azure aura flew to the top of the central ship and then slowly landed on the top of the ship's deck.

"May I ask, are you Senior Liang?" Chen Yao asked first, bowing respectfully.

"It is indeed Liang."

Much of the azure blue aura dissipated, leaving only a faint glow that illuminated an elderly man in white robes with white hair and beard.

"Greetings, Senior Liang." Chen Yao bowed respectfully. "Thank you for coming to my rescue, Senior Liang."

"Before Alliance Leader Jiang left for the Four Nations Alliance, he met with me in Jiangnan." The old man put one hand behind his back and stroked his white beard with the other. "At that time, your alliance's young leader was still an infant in swaddling clothes. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The child's return to the country has caused a stir among the forces in the shadows."

At this point, the old man looked at the three men in black who possessed top-notch strength.

"Greetings, Senior Liang."

The three of them hurriedly cupped their hands in greeting, their attitude very respectful.

There's no other reason than that the person in front of him is of extremely high seniority. He is the first top expert in the Divine Martial Kingdom, and even Xue Yu doesn't know how long he has lived.

After the connection with the upper realm was severed, Blood Rain experienced a great upheaval and only recovered its strength more than a hundred years ago.

However, judging from the rise of the three major families in Jiangnan, this Senior Liang should have lived for nearly three hundred years!

"You are from Blood Rain, aren't you?" the old man said, looking at the three men in black.

The three men in black lowered their heads and remained silent, refusing to answer the question that would give others cause for criticism.

"Even if you don't answer, I can be certain that you are from Blood Rain," the old man said with a smile. "Apart from Blood Rain, no other force can hide so many experts in the shadows."

"Senior Liang, what brings you here today?" a man in black asked, bowing respectfully.

"I, Liang, have come to oppose you with bloodshed. I have protected the young leader of the Great River Alliance. You may return to report now." The old man's tone was gentle, but it brooked no argument.

The three men in black looked at each other, all seeing helplessness in their companion's eyes.

When the most powerful experts arrive, even though they are eager to kill them, their strength is insufficient.

After exchanging glances for a moment, a man in black stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Since Senior Liang wants to protect the young leader of the Great River Alliance, we have no choice but to return and report."

"Go." The old man flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.

"Farewell." The three men in black bowed and then leaped away from the central ship.

call out--!

A whistle with a long, thin timbre sounded, and the men in black who heard it began to retreat, orderly notifying and taking away their other wounded companions.

Inside the cabin.

Seeing that the five men in black had withdrawn from the cabin without hesitation after the whistle sounded, Jiang Yanming asked, "Have they given up on the assassination?"

"It's probably related to Senior Liang's arrival." Ji Fan glanced at the corpse at Jiang Yanming's feet and said, "Young Alliance Leader, we should go and thank Senior Liang."

"That's only right." Jiang Yanming nodded upon hearing this, and breathed a sigh of relief. "The protective jade talisman of the Nascent Soul cultivator has been preserved."

soon.

Jiang Yanming and the others came out of the cabin and came to the deck. They saw a lot of corpses, and the number of corpses of the Great River Alliance disciples exceeded that of the men in black.

As Jiang Yanming looked at the corpses, his originally relaxed heart became much heavier, because the disciples of the Great River Alliance who died here had died protecting him, their young leader.

"Which faction do the men in black who attacked belong to?" Jiang Yanming asked softly.

Ji Fan replied, "I think that apart from Blood Rain, no other force could mobilize so many skilled assassins."

"Understood." Jiang Yanming nodded slightly, his face expressionless, but he made a mental note of what had happened today.

"Young Alliance Leader, Hall Master." The blood-stained leader of the Chishui Hall's Sishui branch greeted them and said to Jiang Yanming and the others, "Senior Liang is on the top of the ship's deck."

"Understood." Ji Fan nodded slightly. "Arrange for the brothers to rescue people and put out the fire, and remember to finish them off."

"Understood." The leader of the Sishui branch nodded and left.

On the way upstairs, Ji Fan reminded him, "Young Alliance Leader, don't be rude when you see Senior Liang later. The former Alliance Leader also respected Senior Liang very much."

"Hmm." Jiang Yanming nodded upon hearing this; Ji Fan didn't need to remind him of this.

After all, this Senior Liang saved him, sparing him the protective jade talisman left behind by the Nascent Soul cultivator.

soon.

When Jiang Yanming and his group arrived at the top of the ship, they saw an elderly man in white with a ruddy complexion sitting in a chair, while Chen Yao, the leader of the Ziguang Hall, stood beside him.

"Greetings, Senior Liang." Ji Fan was the first to bow.

"Greetings, Senior Liang." Jiang Yanming and the other three bowed, and a light blue aura immediately lifted them up.

"Alright, Master Ji and young friend Jiang, come over here." The old man's gentle voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming and Ji Fan went over, while Ling Heng and the other two tactfully bowed and left.

"Master Ji, I remember meeting you more than twenty years ago?" the old man said with a smile.

Ji Fan respectfully replied, "If Senior Liang is not mistaken, I had the honor of meeting you twenty-four years ago when I saw the Alliance Leader and the Young Alliance Leader off the country."

"I remember that time, when Alliance Leader Jiang held you in his arms." The old man smiled and turned to look at Jiang Yanming.

"I was young at the time and do not remember ever meeting Senior Liang," Jiang Yanming replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Indeed." The old man nodded slightly, then looked Jiang Yanming up and down and praised, "Your physique is good. I imagine you will be able to enter the second realm soon after your Qi and blood condense. You are a good match for my little girl."

"Huh?" Jiang Yanming was taken aback upon hearing this.

"I'm quite surprised," the old man said with a slight smile. "Didn't your uncle send you a message?"
