Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1436: Chapter 836: Peach Blossom Villa

Under the burning gazes of the crowd, Sui Yi seemed completely unaware, instead looking back at Gong Jiu and the others.

"Has she been here before?"

Haha~~ What a brilliant change of topic.

Gong Jiu shrugged, "Of course not."

Nie Wanqing didn’t press the issue. Zhong Buli had eloped, and while she suspected she might be coming to find Sui Yi, she wasn’t certain, so she wasn’t disappointed.

"All I can hope is that she stays safe."

Not mentioning Zhong Buli, Nie Wanqing also received an invitation this time, representing the Nie Family to attend the Thousand Years Martial Birth. Apparently, Gong Jiu and Flower Demon received it too, aside from these two, there was also Ye Zixu and Sui Yi....

Evidently, the four invitations were sent together; the sender had thoroughly understood that Ye Zixu and Gong Jiu were staying with Sui Yi here.

The information collection was quite good.

Ye Changan and Su Zimu didn’t receive invitations. Firstly, the former didn’t have as much exposure as Gong Jiu and the others, even though she often accompanied them on adventures. Secondly, their strength wasn’t up to par.

After all, they had only recently followed Sui Yi and rapidly broken through to S-level, all happening in the past few days.

However, surprisingly, Yhan Qingwu wasn’t among the invitees.

"Yan Zi, aside from you, there’s no one more suitable in the Tang Sect. Your strength is among the top, right? Do you want those ancient ones to come out of seclusion?"

The depths of the Tang Sect are unfathomable, and no one knows exactly how many strong individuals there are. It’s certain that those ancient ones won’t come out of seclusion.

Why is that?

With so many assassination techniques and enemies lurking everywhere, should one of those ancient ones show themselves, the masters at the Thousand Years Martial Birth would surely unite against them.

Of course, the Tang Sect isn’t afraid of trouble; mainly, those old fellows have concealed their whereabouts and disappeared!

Even the Sect Master cannot find them, and unless there’s a major crisis in the sect, those emotionally distant old men would never return.

So why didn’t Miss Yhan participate?

Don’t say she wasn’t selected; just to give the Tang Sect some face, Yhan Qingwu must be on the list.

"The Tang Sect will be represented by the Sect Master personally, and I have to go to the USA to substitute for my mother, so I don’t have the time."

The general idea is that she doesn’t have the time.

But Gong Jiu and the others felt it was because of what she said earlier.

However, Sui Yi didn’t understand the exact reasons, just noticing that Yhan Qingwu truly didn’t want to attend the Thousand Years Martial Birth.

Otherwise, she could find the time for other matters.

The Thousand Years Martial Birth is not a small affair.

Nie Wanqing soon stood up to leave, saying they would meet again at the Thousand Years Martial Birth.

And the place to meet again...

When Sui Yi saw the location remarked on the invitation, his eyes slightly glimmered.

——Peach Blossom Villa.

Speaking of Peach Blossom Villa, it can’t be separated from the Cherry Snow Forest.

Both a peach and a cherry, places that are earthly paradises are never open to the public. If Cherry Snow Forest possesses more of a national and noble family flavor, then Peach Blossom Villa is more aligned with the romantic and adventurous aspect of martial arts.

"The master of Peach Blossom Villa has always been mysterious. Rising to fame twenty-five years ago, he was said to be young then, debuting as a swordsman with extraordinary swordsmanship, causing quite a stir among the families and sects of that time, dubbed the first young genius. It was later said he was ambushed and surrounded, his leg poisoned, leaving him unable to stand, confined to a wheelchair. Martial artists initially thought he would fall from grace, but a year later, he purchased what was then an ordinary peach orchard, built Peach Blossom Villa, and invited many to the founding banquet in the name of Mr. Tao of Peach Blossom... Naturally, this also included those who ambushed him. Just a cripple, few took him seriously, most attending out of curiosity, including those people... As a result, at the banquet, the man in the wheelchair used sword qi to swiftly kill those people, leaving none alive, with martial arts far surpassing his previous level, using the blood of those enemies as a blood sacrifice for the peach orchard. Since then, no one dared underestimate Peach Blossom Villa, and over the years, the peach orchard has consumed countless martial artists’ corpses, including some very well-known martial arts masters."

Yhan Qingwu paused and mentioned a few names.

The crowd fell silent.

These people were already top-notch masters over a decade ago, if not SS, then at least SSS, so Mr. Tao of Peach Blossom’s strength must also be at least SSS. Now, it seems he’s likely under fifty years old.

Indeed formidable.

"Although Peach Blossom Villa is independent in the martial arts world, it is highly reputable and holds a prestigious position, producing many master fighters, each with exceptionally mysterious identities. For example, if we encounter a master in the martial arts world, there’s a chance this person is from Peach Blossom Villa."
