[Zixia Junzi Sword]: That was the old Yue Buqun. Back then, the Songshan Sect had the upper hand in strength, and I didn't dare act righteously because I didn't want to drag my sect down with me!
[Zixia Junzi Sword]: But now? I'm not afraid of Songshan anymore! Brother Jiang Li, rest assured—this time I'm personally descending the mountain to protect Liu Zhengfeng's family and deal with those Songshan bandits!
[Zixia Junzi Sword]: My tragic fate in the past—those dogs of the Songshan Sect caused it! They tried to swallow up my Huashan Sect, forcing me to cut myself off! They can just wait for retribution!
[Zixia Junzi Sword]: And now? Forget me—my wife and daughter alone could crush Zuo Lengchan!
[Wang Chao]: Sect Master Yue, magnificent!
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: Those bastards who'd even destroy a whole family after someone's washed their hands of blood—beat them to death for this old Daoist!
[New prompt: "Yan Shisan from the Wuxia World has joined the chat!"][New prompt: "Shi Potian from the Wuxia World has joined the chat!"]
Suddenly, two notifications flashed before everyone's eyes.
Newcomers had entered the group.
[Chen Beixuan]: Huh? New members again? Finally, this Immortal Lord isn't the newest one anymore! Too bad they're just from a Wuxia world though.
[Long Bo @Chen Beixuan]: You've already forgotten the last time you got humbled? Even Wuxia worlds can produce monsters!
[Zixia Junzi Sword]: Welcome, newcomers!
[Chen Beixuan]: Tch! You think freaks like Jiang Li show up every day?
[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef @Yan Shisan]: Newbie, show your face! And your cultivation level!
[Yan Shisan]: What's this? What's a "chat group"?
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: This is a chat group. As the name suggests—it's a place where people chat!
[Xiao Li Flying Dagger]: But not just any chat group. This one connects people from different worlds. Everyone you see here comes from another realm.
[Yan Shisan]: Do you take me for an idiot? People from different worlds chatting together? Who has such godlike power?
[Zombie Daoist Priest]: Seems the newbie's brain's not screwed on right. We tell him the truth and he thinks we're lying!
[Yao Yue]: It's normal not to believe it at first. Who didn't doubt it when they first joined?
[Long Bo]: The divine powers of beings across the myriad worlds are beyond your imagination. Don't be a frog in a well.
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: Indeed, a frog in a well thinks the sky it sees is the whole world!
[Yan Shisan]: Spout all the nonsense you want. I only seek someone who can defeat me! If you don't have that strength, then shut up!
[Zombie Daoist Priest]: Confirmed! Another lunatic!
[I'm Spider-Man @Yan Shisan]: Bro, are you for real? Talk big all you want, but aren't you afraid you'll bite your tongue? There are cultivation monsters here, and you're talking tough?
[Chen Beixuan]: How dare you act all high and mighty before me?
[Xiao Li Flying Dagger]: If I had a hundred thousand points, I'd come to your world right now just to beat some sense into you!
[Zixia Junzi Sword @Yan Shisan]: So arrogant! Have you even reached Martial Saint? Do you even know what a Grandmaster of Martial Arts is? Don't tell me you're still a mere Innate-stage rookie!
[Jiang Li]: Don't flame him. Yan Shisan's a sword maniac. To him, there's nothing in the world but the sword.
[Chen Beixuan]: Damn it! A sword maniac? Another psycho!
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: These people really are mad—they challenge anyone they meet!
[Yao Yue @Yan Shisan]: You're a sword maniac? Have you entered the Way of the Sword yet? Reached the realm where your heart manifests the divine? Have you seen a sword so powerful it seals time and space in a single strike?
[Yan Shisan]: Enough of that nonsense! If you've got guts, fight me! Win, and you can say whatever you want!
[Zombie Daoist Priest]: We're not even in the same world, genius. If we were, you'd have been taught a painful lesson already!
[Jiang Li @Yan Shisan]: Have you managed to deduce the Fourteenth Sword beyond your Thirteen Death Swords?
[Yan Shisan @Jiang Li]: Didn't you say we're from different worlds? Yet you know of my Thirteen Death Swords? Guess your secret's out now.
[Long Bo]: Just because we're in different worlds doesn't mean Jiang Li doesn't know about you.
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: Forget knowing your sword—if Jiang Li wanted, he could tell you the exact date of your first wet dream.
[Chen Beixuan]: I can't stand this poser anymore! Invite him already! I'll pay the hundred thousand points myself—if I don't beat him, I won't be at peace!
[Jiang Li]: Sure, sure. But you'd better defeat Xie Xiaofeng first.
[Yan Shisan]: You think I don't want to? I went to his home—but that bastard's already dead!
[Yan Shisan]: I, Yan Shisan, have sought the ultimate sword all my life… yet I've found no one who can defeat me. Life's become meaningless!
[Yan Shisan]: I exhausted my mind and spirit to deduce the Fourteenth Sword, but there's no one left worthy to face it. If you frauds dare appear before me, I'll cut every one of you down with a single sword!
[Chen Beixuan]: Still pretending, huh? Then invite us already!
[Long Bo]: Enough! You say your Fourteenth Sword is so amazing—upload it to the chat group. Let's see how many points it's worth.
[Nie Feng]: Even Jiang Li's Peerless Sword Realm—worth a billion points—doesn't brag as hard as you!
[Jiang Li]: Xie Xiaofeng isn't dead.
[Yan Shisan @Jiang Li]: What?! Impossible! I saw his tomb with my own eyes—Xie Manor's master took me there himself!
[Jiang Li]: He's not dead. The guy's got issues in his head. He got tired of the bloodshed and riches of the martial world, so he faked his death and hid away.
[Yan Shisan]: Where is he? Tell me! That bastard Xie Xiaofeng faked his death?!
Yan Shisan's heart trembled with excitement.
He'd thought this "chat group" was just some mystical scam—yet now he'd heard that Xie Xiaofeng might still live.
He didn't even bother questioning whether it was true or not.
As long as there was even the hope of crossing swords with Xie Xiaofeng again, he'd treat illusion as reality!
[Jiang Li]: He's in Suffering Sea Town, shoveling dung. Goes by "Useless A'Ji."
[Jiang Li]: But if you want to defeat Xie Xiaofeng, your Fourteenth Sword won't be enough. You'll need to deduce the Fifteenth Sword.
Jiang Li really wanted to see that Fifteenth Sword.
In the original tale, during Yan Shisan's duel with Xie Xiaofeng, he transcended himself—realizing the Fifteenth Sword.
That sword embodied both death and annihilation—its power was so terrifying even Yan Shisan was frightened by it.
In the end, he didn't use the Fifteenth Sword to kill Xie Xiaofeng; instead, he rammed his own throat onto Xie's blade, taking that dreadful sword art with him into oblivion.
[Long Bo]: What the hell? The top master in your world's a dung-shoveler?
[Wudang Hundred-Year Old Daoist]: Seems this Xie Xiaofeng must be the strongest man in your world, then!
[Jiang Li]: Shoveling dung is nothing. The guy's so eccentric—after faking his death, he even worked as a brothel keeper!
[Heaven and Earth Boundless Qiankun Borrowing Technique]: …
[Xiao Li Flying Dagger]: Yep. Certified lunatic.
[Zixia Junzi Sword]: Looks like Xie Xiaofeng's mental illness is even worse than Yan Shisan's!
[Zombie Daoist Priest]: So in Yan Shisan's world, all the top experts are crazy?
"Shoveling… dung?"
The once-excited Yan Shisan froze.
Then hearing that Xie Xiaofeng had also worked in a brothel, his mind went completely blank—like thunder splitting his skull.
This… this was the sword god he had admired all his life?
[Yan Shisan @Jiang Li]: You're saying I'm still not Xie Xiaofeng's match?
[Jiang Li]: With only your Fourteenth Sword, you'd be about even with him. Check the Points Mall for yourself.
[Jiang Li]: This isn't some mystical hoax. The people here truly come from the myriad worlds. They weren't lying. In this group, your current power is bottom-tier. Only when you grasp the Fifteenth Sword will you finally be worth something.
[Yan Shisan]: Fine. I'll look into it. I hope you're truly experts from across the heavens—then maybe, after I defeat Xie Xiaofeng, life will have meaning again!
Jiang Li's calm, detailed explanation about Xie Xiaofeng had already shaken Yan Shisan to the core.
Though he still harbored a bit of doubt, he began exploring the chat group's functions just as Jiang Li instructed, eager to test its truth for himself.
