My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 96

Chapter 96: The Situation After More Than Sixty Years

Peng Feng arrived at a large city nearby.

He found a restaurant in this large city that was frequented by many Jianghu people.

Inside, he ordered about half a catty of wine and a few meat dishes.

He enjoyed a good drink.

After all, he hadn’t had a drink in decades.

Nostalgic!

At the same time, through casual conversation, he quickly obtained the information he needed.

He understood what had happened over the years.

After learning this, he realized that the world had truly changed a lot.

The changes were really too big, too big.

It turned out.

That 66 years had passed since he went to pursue the phoenix and his name disappeared from the Heavenly Dao Ranking List.

He went to pursue the phoenix in 1172 AD, so it is now 1138 AD.

And so many things have happened over these years.

In 1125 AD, the Mongol Empire rose.

Temujin was actually also a Loose Immortal, in the same realm as him, which was interesting.

In 1126 AD, Temujin sought immortality, and the Mongol Empire split into four, becoming the Great Yuan Khanate, the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ogedai Khanate.

Among them, the Great Yuan Khanate, one of the four major Khanates, became the enemy of the Great Song.

The Great Yuan Khanate’s Heaven List is as follows:

First on the Heaven List, Tore （Heavenly Human Realm）.

Second on the Heaven List, Chilaowen （Heavenly Human Realm）.

Third on the Heaven List, Meng Chixing. （From *Shattered Void*, the master of Pang Ban.）
Fourth on the Heaven List, Jebe.

Fifth on the Heaven List, Hasar.

Sixth on the Heaven List, Phagpa. （From *Shattered Void*.）
Seventh on the Heaven List, Sihanfei. （From *Shattered Void*.）
Eighth on the Heaven List, Kokocho.

Ninth on the Heaven List, Golden Wheel Monk.

The Great Song’s Heaven List is as follows:

First on the Heaven List, Yue Fei. （Heavenly Human Realm）

Second on the Heaven List, Peng Lang. （Heavenly Human Realm）

Third on the Heaven List, Xin Qiji.

Fourth on the Heaven List, Ling Donglai （From *Shattered Void*）.

Fifth on the Heaven List, Emperor Ningzong of Song Zhao Kuo.

Sixth on the Heaven List, Yu Yunwen.

Seventh on the Heaven List, Meng Gong.

Eighth on the Heaven List, Guo Jing.

When Peng Feng saw this list, he was quite satisfied. Yue Fei was a junior he had high hopes for, and Peng Lang was his son. Both of them had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, which was great.

But…

In 1136 AD, which was the year before last, Yue Fei died of old age.

His son, Peng Lang, was unable to support the situation alone, and was defeated by the combined forces of the two Heavenly Human Realm experts of the Great Yuan Khanate. He had no choice but to retreat south. This was known as the Southern Song.

And now it is already 1138 AD.

At this time, a major event is taking place.

Two Land Immortals from the Great Yuan Khanate—

Sihanfei, ranked seventh on the Great Yuan Khanate’s Heaven List, and the Golden Wheel Monk, ranked ninth on the Heaven List, are leading 50,000 Yuan soldiers to attack Xiangyang City.

The garrison of Xiangyang City originally had two Land Immortals—

One was Yu Yunwen, ranked fifth on the Great Song’s Heaven List, and the other was Guo Jing, ranked seventh on the Great Song’s Heaven List. They could have held Xiangyang City.

However, Yu Yunwen was poisoned by the number one poison in the world, the Heavenly One Divine Water, while defending the city.

Guo Jing was unable to support the situation alone.

Xiangyang City is about to fall.

Xiangyang City.

Is a very important city.

Zhuge Liang’s 《Longzhong Plan》 mentioned this issue: “Jingzhou is located north of Han and Mian, it has access to the South Sea, it is connected to Wu and Hui in the east, and it leads to Ba and Shu in the west. This is a place of military importance, but its lord cannot defend it. This is probably heaven’s way of providing support to the general. Does the general have any intention of taking it?”

The main city of Jingzhou is Xiangyang City.

Simply put.

If Xiangyang City does not fall, it will be very difficult for the Great Yuan Khanate to conquer the Southern Song.

If Xiangyang City falls, the Great Yuan Khanate can attack the Southern Song from various angles, in various ways, with a 360-degree no-dead-angle attack. The Southern Song will find it difficult to organize an effective defense.

If Xiangyang City stands, the Southern Song stands.

If Xiangyang City falls, then the Southern Song is in danger.

◈◈◈

Then what else is there to say?

Go support Xiangyang City.

By the way, he can also see the great hero Guo Jing who is defending Xiangyang City. This person has good strength, and his character is even more noble.

Peng Feng finished the wine and dishes on the table simply.

Then.

He left the restaurant.

He found a deserted place.

And directly flew into the sky.

He flew straight towards Xiangyang City.

◈◈◈

Peng Feng flew along the way.

Of course.

The most annoying thing about flying in this era is… there are no maps, no GPS, so he has to come down to the ground from time to time to ask people for directions, so he doesn’t fly in the wrong direction.

After some time, he finally arrived at Xiangyang City.

At this time.

Xiangyang City was already heavily surrounded by Yuan soldiers.

However… there was no air defense.

In this world, the only people who can fly are Land Immortals, Heavenly Human Realm experts, and Loose Immortal Realm experts.

But in this era, the public thinks there is only one Loose Immortal, Temujin.

There are two Heavenly Human Realm experts in the Great Yuan, and one in the Great Song.

The total number of Land Immortals in both countries is only a dozen.

These people are too rare, there is no need to defend against them, and they can’t be defended against anyway.

So.

Peng Feng easily entered Xiangyang City.

After entering Xiangyang City, he learned that General Guo’s residence was constantly recruiting martial artists.

General Guo naturally refers to Guo Jing, who had also become a general of the Great Song.

Peng Feng also entered General Guo’s residence.

He met the experts who were currently in Xiangyang City.

The leader was naturally the great hero Guo Jing.

The great hero Guo was burly, with a majestic figure, about two and a half meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His appearance was not eye-catching, but he had a heroic aura that made people admire him.

This person was originally a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert like the Five Unrivaled Martial Artists of Jianghu, but after defending Xiangyang City for a long time, experiencing many battles, and with righteousness in his heart, he was a great hero. Relying on a heroic spirit, he forcibly improved to the Land Immortal Realm, and is now at the second level of the Land Immortal Realm.

Among the experts who came to help, there were also many famous experts.

For example.

Huang Yaoshi was already seventy or eighty years old, quite old, but he looked refined and elegant, with a detached and ethereal air. However, he was still at the tenth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and had not taken that crucial step to enter the Land Immortal Realm.

Besides that.

There were also Zhu Ziliu, Wu Santong, and others.

Zhu Ziliu was a refined middle-aged scholar.

Wu Santong was an old man with messy hair.

Beside Guo Jing was his wife, Huang Rong.

Logically, Huang Rong was also over sixty years old this year, but she looked like a woman in her thirties. She was beautiful, with hair like a waterfall, simply draped behind her head, with a charming and elegant aura.

Beside Huang Rong were two people who looked like her younger sisters, with appearances that were six or seven parts similar to Huang Rong. One was also a young woman, who should be Guo Fu. Beside Guo Fu was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, who seemed to be her husband, Yelü Qi.

And next to them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. This girl’s appearance was also six or seven parts similar to Huang Rong. She was wearing a yellow dress, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a beautiful figure, and a cute and charming demeanor. Her beauty and temperament were very striking. She should be Huang Rong’s second daughter, Guo Xiang.

Besides that, there were many other experts in the field.

Peng Feng couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

When he first transmigrated, it was still the Northern Song Dynasty.

He never thought that he would live, live, and live until the Southern Song Dynasty, and even meet Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and others.

If he lived longer, until the Ming Dynasty, he might even meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

If he lived until the 20th century, he wondered if he would be able to see…
