Upon hearing this, the Wheel-King fell silent.

He knew the strength of his three ace killers all too well. Even he would have to be careful when facing them, yet Lian Sheng said the chances of winning were less than one-tenth. It was clear how incredibly skilled that Sword Demon was.

After a long silence, he finally asked, “What did Fatty Chen say?”

Lian Sheng replied, “Just like the outside world, no information can be found. This person’s identity, origin, master, and martial arts are all unknown. We only know that he suddenly appeared in Nanjing a few days ago, possesses the Water-Repelling Sword of Xiyu, and the complete Bodhi Dharma’s remains. His first move, with just one strike, killed Divine Blade Duan Yue and the Five Swords of Dian Cang.”

The Wheel-King nodded again, then continued, “Notify Fatty Chen to keep investigating. As long as it’s a person, they must have an identity and origin. I don’t believe this person just popped out of a rock. Also, issue a bounty: whoever can uncover this person’s identity, my Black Stone will offer fifty thousand taels of gold. If someone can kill him or seize Bodhi Dharma’s remains, the reward is two hundred thousand taels of gold.”

Upon hearing this, Lian Sheng couldn’t help but be surprised, saying, “Two hundred thousand taels of gold, that’s half a year’s income for us. Although this person is powerful, isn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill?”

The Wheel-King said, “If this person is truly as you say, then he is completely worth that price, or even more.” He paused slightly, then added, “Moreover, this person’s power is already established. If we don’t offer something substantial, who would be willing to risk their lives for us?” Finally, he secretly thought, “No matter the cost, I must seize Bodhi Dharma’s remains.”

Black Stone’s bounty undoubtedly added fuel to Ye Qingfeng’s fire, causing continuous tremors throughout the martial arts world.

One must know, that was two hundred thousand taels of gold, equivalent to the entire Great Ming Dynasty’s annual national treasury income.

If one obtained this enormous wealth, it would be akin to being as rich as a nation.

Therefore, with the issuance of this bounty, the undercurrents in the martial arts world grew increasingly turbulent.

Affected by this bounty, the inn where Ye Qingfeng resided had been incredibly lively recently, with numerous martial artists arriving from other places daily. Some came to join the excitement, others to get a share of the spoils. With the arrival of these people, the inn and its surrounding area were completely surrounded, indirectly boosting the business of inns in this area.

On this day, the inn’s lobby was still packed with guests, and even the entrance of the inn was surrounded by a large crowd.

As everyone was discussing animatedly, an old woman and a young boy suddenly pushed through the crowd and approached.

The old woman was about sixty or seventy years old, and the young boy was around ten years old.

The inn entrance was already crowded, with everyone occupying a small space. When the two pushed through, some people could no longer stand their ground, and someone immediately cursed, “Where did this old hag and little brat come from? Don’t you have eyes? How dare you push your grandpa? Believe it or not, your grandpa will chop you to death with one swing!”

The old woman and the young boy suddenly turned their heads, staring menacingly at the cursing person.

“You are…”

Seeing their faces clearly, the cursing person shivered, then lowered his head submissively, not daring to say anything more.

The old woman and the young boy then turned around and walked directly into the inn’s lobby.

After they entered, someone in the crowd immediately said, “Brother, you’re a man, yet you were scared like that by a child and an old woman. That’s truly shameful.”

The cursing person retorted, “Shame my ass! They are the notorious Ghost Grandson and Ghost Granny of the martial arts world. If you have the guts, go confront them and see. If you dare to confront them, I’ll write down the word ‘submit’.”

“Hiss!”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp, and the scoffing person shut his mouth.

No other reason, it was simply that the names of Ghost Grandson and Ghost Granny were too famous, making people afraid to provoke them.

As soon as Ghost Grandson and Ghost Granny entered the lobby, someone in the corner called out, “Here.”

Turning to look, the caller was a robust old man in his sixties. This person was nicknamed Divine Constable. In his youth, he worked in the public office, specializing in apprehending notorious bandits. Later, for some unknown reason, he left the public office and began to make a living in the martial arts world.

Next to Divine Constable sat a man and a woman. The man was thin, and the woman was petite and beautiful. This man and woman were the infamous Human Bear siblings of the martial arts world. The thin man was the elder brother, known as Killing Bear, and the petite woman was the younger sister, known as Man-Eating Bear.

Ghost Granny glanced at the two and asked, “Presumably, these two are the Human Bear siblings?”

Man-Eating Bear smiled sweetly and replied, “Precisely.” Then she asked in return, “Presumably, you are Ghost Grandson and Ghost Granny?”

A hint of disdain appeared on Ghost Grandson’s face as he said, “Human Bear siblings, one kills, one eats. What grand names. I wonder what their skills are like, whether they can kill that Sword Demon?”

Man-Eating Bear sneered coldly, “Heh, you speak lightly. If it were that easy to kill the Sword Demon, everyone here would have already acted. What do we need you two useless people for?”

Ghost Grandson’s eyes turned cold, and he grinned menacingly, “It’s been a long time since anyone dared to speak to this grandpa like that. You’re quite bold…”

His figure looked to be only about ten years old, yet he referred to himself as “grandpa,” which sounded rather ridiculous, but no one dared to laugh.

Man-Eating Bear scoffed, “No one usually dares to speak to me like you do either.”

Although she was smiling broadly when she said this, her voice was filled with a chilling coldness that made people shudder.

Seeing that the two sides were at odds as soon as they met, which was not a good sign, Divine Constable quickly stepped forward to mediate, advising, “Everyone is here for the Sword Demon, and we need to cooperate fully. Let’s all speak less.”

The wrinkled Ghost Granny made no attempt to conceal her murderous intent, smiling chillingly, “Divine Constable is right. My good grandson, let’s first figure out how to kill the Sword Demon. As for this brat, Granny will take care of her for you later.”

Hearing this, Killing Bear, the brother of the Human Bear siblings, became displeased again and said coldly, “What big talk! Although you Ghost Grandson and Ghost Granny are powerful, we Human Bear siblings are not to be trifled with. It’s not certain who will take care of whom.”

“Enough!”

Divine Constable frowned and lightly rebuked, “Infighting before even fighting? Do you still want Bodhi Dharma’s remains?”

1.0 As soon as the words “Bodhi Dharma’s remains” were spoken, both sides immediately fell silent.

Those around them heard their conversation and all turned their heads, secretly sneering, “Hehe, a few more coming to their deaths.”

Seeing that he had attracted the attention of those around him, Divine Constable’s face was ashen. He said, “If you keep arguing, don’t even dream of Bodhi Dharma’s remains. I’ll leave right now, otherwise, even if we fight, it’ll be a death sentence.”

Ghost Grandson, Ghost Granny, and the Human Bear siblings exchanged glares, their faces showing chagrin, and they said no more.

Ghost Grandson cast a cold sidelong glance at the Human Bear siblings and said in a deep voice, “Alright, since Brother Divine Constable has spoken, I naturally have to give him face. Let’s first unite against the outside, and we’ll talk about other matters after dealing with the Sword Demon.”

Man-Eating Bear also said, “Alright, let’s unite against the outside first.”

Then, Ghost Grandson asked again, “Brother Divine Constable, does that Sword Demon really live here?”
