Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were squatting by the roadside eating, just like when they were still living in Yangzhou.
Kou Zhong ate while reading, then abruptly threw down the history book, sighing, "Is it because we're from different worlds, or is it because I didn't even leave a name in this world?"
Having been in this world for quite some time now, they have figured out the situation.
He flipped through several history books and saw the names of many familiar faces, but none of them were his own. He was on the verge of breaking down.
So, just how bad am I?
They don't even bother to record it in history books?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be because I come from a different world.
Then he stood up and cursed, "And that bastard Li Ping, saying that's our past, that we can't remember it once we come into this world."
"But didn't we remember it soon after we came into this world?"
"Damn it, they tricked us out of our secret to immortality."
For some reason, the two of them suddenly remembered everything that happened in that time fragment when they were practicing together.
Xu Zilin finished his flatbread and clapped his hands: "I don't think he was lying at the time. Maybe he didn't even understand why he did it."
"After all, we haven't heard anyone talk about fragments of time until now, and even in this era, it must be a novel concept."
"Li Ping..."
"So he was the number one person in the world in this era, and he also had the supernatural power of immortality. No wonder he was so powerful."
"Young Master Zhong, what do you think the immortals wanted us to do when they sent us to this era?"
Kou Zhong clutched his head in frustration: "The Ming Dynasty has just defeated the Tatar royal court and is relatively stable now. Surely we can't afford to throw the world into chaos and then go on to fight for supremacy again?!"
He was somewhat disheartened: "I'm not cut out to conquer the world. Have you read the history books? That kid Li Shimin killed even his own brothers to fight for the throne. I could never do that."
"However, to be honest, if I were to become emperor, I really wouldn't dare say I could do a better job than him!"
"How about we open a restaurant, like we've said before? With our skills, we're sure to make a fortune."
Xu Ziling said, "I'd be willing, but I'm afraid you might not be able to stand the loneliness, Young Master Zhong..."
After retrieving the memories from the fragments of time, Xu Ziling was filled with guilt towards Kou Zhong.
But he knew that if he showed it, Kou Zhong would be very unhappy, so he tried his best to hide his emotions.
But this time, whatever Kou Zhong wants to do, he will absolutely support him.
This brother was too good to me; just because of one sentence from me, he was willing to give up his ambition to dominate the world.
If he wants to do something now, can't I just not support him?
Kou Zhong scratched his head: "I really don't know, let's just take it one step at a time... Huh?"
They suddenly sensed someone making a move ahead. The two exchanged a glance, and Kou Zhong said, "Shall we go check it out?"
Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Where there's fighting, there's trouble; where there's trouble, there's excitement. I know you can't sit still; you love excitement!"
Let's go!
The two used their lightness skills to give chase, and soon they entered a grove of trees.
A group of masked people were seen attacking a man. One of the masked people did not make a move and was clearly the leader of the masked people!
The man being attacked wielded a knife and was quite skilled in martial arts; those who attacked him were also formidable.
But in the end, the man was still the better one, and he had gained an absolute advantage.
At this moment, the leader of the masked men said, "Xiao Shiyilang, you can't keep this Time Crystal Sand."
"Hand it over, and you can live."
Even in the heat of the battle, Xiao Shiyilang's voice remained calm, even suggesting a sense of ease: "The knife is in my hand, the words are in the knife."
The meaning is clear: stop talking nonsense, if you want something, come and take it yourself.
The masked man snorted coldly, said no more, and instantly drew his long sword, which flashed with a streak of light.
The blade vibrated, emitting a sharp crackling sound; the swordsmanship was surprisingly good.
Just then, a long sword with a red hilt attached appeared out of nowhere and pointed directly at Xiao Shiyilang's back.
The sword light was as swift as thunder, changing freely, like a legendary flying sword.
Clang...
The light from Xiao Shiyilang's sword suddenly intensified.
A series of clanging sounds rang out from the woods, and the knives and swords in the hands of the masked men all snapped instantly.
Only the longsword bound with crimson silk withstood the blow, and then a red figure flew back and landed on the treetop.
Kou Zhong and the other man exchanged a glance.
As expected, Xiao Shiyilang did not go all out earlier because he discovered that someone was lurking nearby.
He was trying to entice others to make a move, but no one expected him to be so fierce, cutting off the weapons of so many people with a single strike!
However, the woman in red who wielded the sword was also very strong back then; she was actually able to defend herself against that single strike!
And she's good-looking too!
So, they were fighting over Time Crystal Sand?
During this time, the two had also heard rumors about Time Crystal Sand.
Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling, and Xu Ziling understood his gaze...
Xu Ziling shook his head. He sensed that there was someone else lurking nearby, a master.
It might even feel somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Xiao Shiyilang laughed: "So it's Granny Gongsun from Feiyan Tower? You truly live up to your name, so beautiful it's breathtaking! I'd rather watch your sword dance than fight you."
Li Ping and his group had been away from the Central Plains for about a month. If they had run at full speed, it would have taken them much longer, but they had been enjoying the scenery along the way, and later in the desert, they had camels with them, which naturally slowed them down.
In the past month, many powerful new sects have emerged in the martial arts world.
Among them, Shenshui Palace and Feiyan Tower are the most famous.
Because their founders were all women with high martial arts skills.
Besides these, there is also a mysterious Azure Dragon Society. No one knows who their leader is, or even who the Azure Dragon Society actually consists of, or what they want to do.
Gongsun Da Niang chuckled and said, "If you want to see my sword dance, you can come to Feiyan Tower anytime."
"As long as you are willing to hand over this Time Crystal Sand to us, all your visits to Feiyan Tower will be free."
Xiao Shiyilang laughed and said, "It is a good price, but I don't think it's worth it. This kind of harmful thing is not worth this price."
After he finished speaking, a crystal of time, shimmering with seven-colored light, appeared in his hand.
The long sword in his hand moved with lightning speed, slashing towards the Time Crystal Sand.
No one expected him to do this!
This alarmed Gongsun Da Niang. Her long sword flashed like a white rainbow piercing the sun as she frantically thrust it at Xiao Shiyi Lang.
But even faster than her was another sword.
The sword transformed into countless tiny rays of light, and a hazy figure appeared and disappeared within the sword's glow.
The terrifying sword energy was almost blinding; even before it arrived, one felt pain all over their body.
The next moment, a dim yellow light flashed, and Kou Zhong made his move.
He recognized the person who made the move as his old rival—the Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan!
He actually came too.
Xu Ziling also made his move. Instead of stopping Gongsun Da Niang, he faced a spear that fell from the sky...
