Chapter 567 - 566: Fierce Wind and Torrential Rain, Sweeping the World!
The Martial Dao forum had already posted the news!
Has the great battle in Yu State already finished? How is Qin Heng now?!
Su Yiyi felt extremely anxious. She ran straight to Su Beihe, took the phone, and said, "Grandpa! Qin Heng is alright, isn't he? He must have come out unscathed and not hurt at all, right?!"
She was truly worried to an extreme.
Su Mingli also took out his phone with a solemn expression, logged into the Martial Dao forum, and said to Su Beihe, "Grandpa, Mr. Qin should be alright, shouldn't he? With his strength, he should be able to walk out of Yu State alive, right?"
He didn't dare to imagine Qin Heng emerging unscathed. After all, that was incredibly difficult. Yu State had over twenty Semi-Saints, plus a descendant of Yin Shang—the terrifying Semi-Saint ranked ninth on Heaven's List!
Even if Qin Heng was very strong, even if he had killed Zeng Tusheng with one palm, facing such a fearsome lineup, emerging unscathed would be as hard as reaching the heavens!
"Don't talk nonsense, brother! Qin Heng is so amazing; he must have come out unscathed!" Su Yiyi was searching on her phone for news about the battle in Yu State, but for some reason, she just couldn't find any. She became anxious. "Grandpa, there's nothing! What happened? Is Qin Heng alright?!"
Su Beihe said gravely, "Qin Heng did not come out unscathed."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Yiyi's tears immediately started to flow. She ran over, her emotions overwhelming, grabbed Su Beihe's sleeve, and cried, "Then he must still be alive! He's still alive, right?!"
"Grandpa! What exactly is Mr. Qin's situation now?"
Su Mingli also realized he couldn't find any news about the battle in Yu State. He looked toward Su Beihe and said, "Grandpa, from now on, please manage the Su family. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate martial arts!"
He thought Qin Heng was dead or seriously injured and wanted to become stronger to avenge Qin Heng!
"Oh my, what's wrong with you two? Can't you let me finish speaking?" Su Beihe was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh. "Don't look for news about the battle in Yu State. Go look for the latest edition of Heaven's List published by Tianji Pavilion."
Heaven's List??
Both Su Yiyi and Su Mingli were taken aback upon hearing this, a bit unclear about Su Beihe's meaning. Weren't we just discussing Qin Heng's safety? Why are we suddenly talking about the Heaven's List issued by Tianshi Sect?
Could it be?!?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in their minds, a thought so audacious they hardly dared to believe it.
The Heaven's List rankings issued by Tianshi Sect only consider battle outcomes, nothing else. Could it be? Could this edition of Heaven's List have changed because of Mr. Qin??
No, that can't be possible, can it? The King of Shang's son is a Semi-Saint who has existed for over six hundred years, his strength immense. Even if Qin Heng is incredibly strong, it's highly unlikely he could have defeated him.
In their minds, Qin Heng making it out of Yu State unscathed would have already been a stroke of incredible luck. Even just emerging alive from Yu State would have been the best possible outcome!
As for defeating over twenty Semi-Saints in Yu State and the King of Shang's son, who was ranked ninth on Heaven's List? They didn't even dare to dream of it.
But now, Su Beihe's words seemed to hint at this very possibility? How could that be! How could that possibly be true!
The King of Shang's son was a terrifying powerhouse capable of suppressing dozens of Semi-Saints with a single finger, an unparalleled expert who had almost transcended the Semi-Saint category! No matter how strong Qin Heng was, he was only at the peak of the Innate Realm. How could he possibly bridge such a colossal gap?!
Even if they wished for it with all their hearts, Su Yiyi and Su Mingli still felt such a thing was highly unlikely.
「Soon.」
They both found the latest edition of Heaven's List issued by Tianshi Sect. Before clicking to open it, expressions of surprise were already on their faces.
The view count for this post had already surpassed one hundred thousand! And there were over a thousand replies! How could that be possible!
The Martial Dao forum was a very niche community; even registration required rigorous identity verification. Furthermore, Heaven's List was published in a high-level section of the forum, inaccessible to the vast majority.
Moreover, the Heaven's List rankings rarely changed, almost always featuring the same ten individuals. Although it was updated periodically, at most, it would just add some battle records; there was never anything truly new.
Therefore, posts by Tianshi Sect announcing Heaven's List usually received very few views and replies, sometimes practically none!
Now, the popularity of this post had actually skyrocketed to this extent!? Simply unbelievable!!
What did this mean? It meant the names on Heaven's List must have changed, and it was an unprecedented, utterly unexpected change at that!
Could it be! Could our earlier speculation actually be true!?
With hearts pounding with excitement, Su Yiyi and Su Mingli both opened the post.

Seeing this, Su Yiyi and Su Mingli's pupils suddenly shrank, their faces etched with immense shock. Even though they had harbored suspicions, seeing it with their own eyes still felt incredibly hard to believe!
The original Number Nine on Heaven's List was the King of Shang's son!!
"It's true! It's really true! Oh my goodness!!" Su Yiyi was overjoyed, her delight nearly spilling out. She trembled with excitement, staring intently at her phone screen. "Hahahaha! Fantastic! I knew it! Qin Heng is so powerful! He must be fine!!"
"Mr. Qin... his strength... just how formidable has it become!" Su Mingli was also overwhelmingly joyful, yet shocked to his core.
Peak of the Innate Realm, slaying a Heaven's List Semi-Saint... what a stunning achievement, truly unparalleled throughout the ages!! It's too inconceivable!!
Equally shocked were all those who saw the new Heaven's List issued by Tianshi Sect; almost everyone doubted their own eyes upon seeing the Number Nine spot.
This record and information seemed almost like a fabrication. However, by cross-referencing their individual intelligence networks with the influence and credibility of Tianshi Sect, they could confirm that these records and information had to be true!!
Like a stone cast into a calm lake, the news of Qin Xuantian slaying the Heaven's List Semi-Saint, the King of Shang's son, and claiming the ninth spot on Heaven's List, swept through the entire world like a raging tempest within just a few hours!
