Chapter 2921:- Flooding Paternal Love (3)
Bai Mo thought that the biggest mistake in his life a thousand years ago was that he shouldn't run to Jun Wu Yao to challenge him. If it wasn't for that battle, he wouldn't have been seriously injured by Jun Wu Yao. Given his strength, if he wasn't seriously wounded, he would have already been among the Top Ten Experts, else he would not be provoking Nangong Lie today. Without provoking Nangong Lie, he would not encounter Jun Wu Xie and found out about Jun Wu Xie's Dual Spirit Ring. He eventually rose to greed and fell into the hands of Jun Wu Yao again ...
Bai Mo found that he had walked an entire circle and came back to the same spot. The initial mistake made him end up nearly being killed by Jun Wu Yao. And this time, he was afraid that he would not even have the chance to hide and recover!
Only God knows what medicine did Jun Wu Yao take to have such unbelievable thoughts!
Bai Mo regretted his actions countless times, but he could only roll about the cold floor like a fish out of water and wanted to cry but didn't even have any tears.
What good son? Where is his so-called father? !!
Even though Bai Mo was ignorant, he knew that no father would tie up and throw his son onto the ground!
Someone had no sense of being a father at all!
Bai Mo couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and he was caught in an endless loop of remorseful thoughts. He didn't notice that his room door was being pushed open a little by others.
When Bai Mo finally regained his senses, he realized that he was shrouded in shadows without knowing it!
Five pairs of eyes were staring at him intently!
Only for a moment, Bai Mo snorted loudly. If it hadn't been for his spiritual power being sealed and his limbs tied up, he would have swept an aura of light over!
"What are you going to do !!!" Bai Mo stared at the uninvited Qiao Chu and others. If he remembered correctly, these five guys were just the ones who had watched the show in Jun Wu Yao's room just now.
Why would they collectively run over here to watch?
"Hey!" Qiao Chu squinted his eyes with a smile. That wretched smile made Bai Mo feel all his hair rise...
If this had happened normally, Bai Mo would have kicked him a long time ago, but now ...
"What the hell do you want to do !?" Bai Mo was a little nervous. For the first time, he felt so helpless and without spiritual power, his little arms and calves couldn't stop the "infringement" of these people!
"Nephew!" Qiao Chu slapped Bai Mo's small shoulder.
A sudden call of "nephew" completely stumped Bai Mo as he froze in place ...
What did this guy call him! !! !!
The ignorant Qiao Chu did not notice Bai Mo's menacing eyes, instead, he squatted beside Bai Mo, and said in a serious manner: "Nephew! We are all your mother's good brothers. According to seniority, you have to address us Uncles, do you understand?"
"..." Bai Mo was dumbfounded, he didn't understand! He didn't wish to understand!
He was threatened to recognize someone else as his father and mother. He was already very aggrieved and yet at this moment, these five "uncles" suddenly popped out from nowhere?!
At this moment, Bai Mo fainted and his eyes rolled over!
He had never been so aggrieved being a Spirit Ring exponent!
"Hey? Be good and call out uncle!" Qiao Chu said very matter-of-factly. Although Jun Wu Xie had told them Bai Mo's identity, but for Qiao Chu and the rest, they were more concerned that Jun Wu Yao recognized Bai Mo as his son. Some of them who have lacked affection since childhood, they will not miss the chance to claim a family connection with their relatives!

Chapter 2922:- Flooding Paternal Love (4)
Being single for more than 20 years, Qiao Chu and others, just after recognizing Han Zi Fei and Jun Gu, the little surging in their hearts has not stopped. Now they had Bai Mo, they were naturally overjoyed.
"Call your head! If you don't want to die, get out quickly!" Bai Mo had completely lost his temper. Even if Jun Wu Yao and Jun Wu Xie oppressed him, he knew that he really couldn't beat them. But these five little ghosts who didn't even have a Spirit Ring dare to oppress him, it was so unbearable!
Bai Mo's roar made Qiao Chu and others stunned momentarily.
Seeing that Qiao Chu and others' expressions had changed, Bai Mo sneered with satisfaction, but did not expect ...
"Brother Wu Yao! Your son is no longer obedient again !!!" Qiao Chu shouted out.
That roar was so loud that it stunned Bai Mo completely.
Although...
He didn't know the origin of the name Brother Wu Yao but he knew that that was how he addressed the demon king. Qiao Chu had clearly heard that. This roar made Bai Mo sweat heavily in an instant.
"Brother Wu Yao, do you want to come ..." Qiao Chu shouted at Jun Wu Yao, who was facing the wall, in a serious manner.
However, before he said this, a small face slammed into his squatting knee.
"Uncle!!!" Bai Mo almost squeezed these two words out of his teeth gap!
Threatened by a young boy who was merely at the Gold Spirit Pinnacle ... Bai Mo had never been so humiliated in his life.
"Sigh! Yes, this is correct!" Qiao Chu ended with satisfaction and rubbed Bai Mo's head with pride. He gave an extremely happy smile!
However, Bai Mo could only gnash his teeth and endure it.
With Qiao Chu's lesson learned, Fei Yan and the others who were eager not to be left behind. Bai Mo could only bear a grieved face, shouting numbly.
In his heart, it was already full of scars.
He swore, as long as he regained his freedom, he would! !! !! !!
Run far away! Don't ever see this group of people again in this life! !!
When Jun Wu Yao took Jun Wu Xie into his dreamland, Bai Mo was tossed around by Qiao Chu and others all night. The next day when Jun Wu Yao opened the door and was ready to meet his cheap son, he saw Bai Mo lying on the ground with two huge dark circles. He looked at Jun Wu Yao with a sad expression.
Jun Wu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his heels as if he hadn't seen anything. He took Jun Wu Xie behind him directly into his arms and walked downstairs.
"It's still early today, go to breakfast first." Jun Wu Yao's voice was full of infinite tenderness, but it was all for Jun Wu Xie.
Bai Mo was locked in the empty room again. He was crying and feeling hungry.
When Nangong Lie came to the restaurant with a gift, he was ready to express his gratitude to Jun Wu Xie for helping each other yesterday. He happened to see Bai Mo stepping down from the restaurant with his exhaustion and embarrassment. He walked obediently towards a chair beside Jun Wu Yao and sat down.
This weird scene really amused Nangong Lie.
Looking at Bai Mo, who was sitting honestly next to Jun Wu Yao and eating in silence. Nangong Lie seriously doubted that the person who provoked himself in public yesterday was this fellow!
Just one night that they had not met, Bai Mo looked like a completely different person!
.

Chapter 2923:- Knight Long Yao (1)
Bai Mo stared at Nangong Lie, and Nangong Lie didn't know what to do.
But Nangong Lie quickly returned to his senses and talked about the matter at hand with Jun Wu Xie. The next day would be the selection of the top ten exponents and the large number of people who had come to participate in the selection would make the entire process particularly long. Nangong Lie came here today for two reasons, one was to thank Jun Wu Xie for her life-saving grace yesterday, and the other was to tell Jun Wu Xie a clever way to pass the trial.
"This year's numbers are more than in previous years. The trial of the top ten exponents is nothing but gauntlet where the better exponents win and the losers retreat. The winner will stay in the fighting ring until he is defeated. So if you want to participate in the trials, you don't need to participate in the first few days of the competition. Anyone who is worth their salt will only start in the later few days. They will not be willing to waste too much energy in front of all the unimportant opponents. " Nangong Lie spoke of his experience to Jun Wu Xie without reservation.
Each trial would cause a large number of deaths and injuries, and the better fighters would result in more intense battles that would pit "two tigers" against each other.
Jun Wu Xie's power was very great, but there was no need to waste it. In fact, even Nangong Lie couldn't understand why His Lord would let Jun Wu Xie participate in the trials. After all, with Jun Wu Xie's strength, even if today's top ten exponents joined forces, they were not necessarily her opponents.
If that was the case, would it not be an unnecessary move?
Jun Wu Xie quietly listened, there was not much nervousness regarding this trial.
It was Bai Mo, on the side, quietly absorbing the information that Nangong Lie was providing.
"I heard that this time the trial is hosted by a Knight of Destruction?" Jun Wu Xie asked calmly.
Nangong Lie nodded, "I was just about to tell you about it."
"Do you already know which Knight of Destruction?" Jun Wu Xie said.
Nangong Lie said, "I received news this morning that the host for this trial is Lord Long Yao."
"Long Yao?" Jun Wu Xie's brow lightly frowned. Although Jun Gu was one of the Knights of Destruction, he had not been fully brainwashed and rarely contacted other people in the Upper Realm as he had only entered the Upper Realm for a short time. He knew nothing about the other three Knights of Destruction.
"It's him?!" Bai Mo, who was beside him, exclaimed surprisedly, immediately attracting the attention of Nangong Lie and Jun Wu Xie.
"You know him?" Nangong Lie looked at Bai Mo with some doubts, truthfully, there was some friction between him and Bai Mo because of yesterday's events, but these things were common in the Upper Realm. Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao were seated at the same table and sharing the conversation, nothing was impossible.
Bai Mo glanced at Nangong Lie, an arrogant and contemptuous aura suddenly appeared on his tender bun-like face, but ... before his proud smile could fully bloomed, his head was suddenly hit!
"Play nicely." Jun Wu Yao held a pair of chopsticks in one hand, while the other hand that had just taught his "son" a lesson calmly rested on the table.
The force of the slap caused Bai Mo's chubby face to wince in pain, causing tears to well up in his eyes, and then the arrogance which had vaguely become visible, disappeared in an instant ...
Nangong Lie swallowed his saliva and looked at the person who was crying from one flick of Jun Wu Yao's hand, and felt a surge in his heart ...
.
.
.
Chapter 2924:- Knight Long Yao (2)
Although Nangong Lie was still not clear about what was going on with Bai Mo, seeing Bai Mo's blank expression after being reprimanded by Jun Wu Yao, his heart was very pleased...
As Nangong Lie watched on with pleasure, Bai Mo's heart was shattered.
It was only yesterday in front of a crowd that he had pressed Nangong Lie into submission. But alas, it was only one night. He was even defeated in front of his own subordinates, taught a lesson like a boy by that demon king...
Dignity!
Where was his dignity!!!
Leave him some dignity!!!
With tears streaming down his face, Bai Mo covered his abused head, wishing that he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"Oh, I don't know much about Lord Long Yao. If Senior Bai knows about it, please share with us a little." For some reason, Nangong Lie could not bear looking at Bai Mo's aggrieved and sobbing bun-like face and immediately gave Bai Mo a chance to extricate himself from this rather awkward situation.
Bai Mo was not a fool. He knew, even without saying, that Jun Wu Yao could pry his teeth out one by one. He now had serious suspicions as to whether this person was a sadist. What was the reason for disciplining him like a son?
If this was the son of a certain demon king, suffering such a blow, would surely result in brain damage!
"Long Yao is the second Knight of Destruction, and no one knows where he came from. Furthermore, presently no one knows the origins of the four Knights of Destruction. Ever since they have appeared to people, they already possessed strong and unbeatable power. Standing in the supreme position, being second only to the existence of His Lord. It is said that each of them is strong enough to crush the top ten exponents, but no one actually knows how strong they are. "
"The Knights of Destruction rarely interact with the outside world, usually staying at His Lord's side. However, I have seen Long Yao once...." At this point, Bai Mo couldn't help but look at Jun Wu Yao.
"At that time, I had been living in the mountains while recovering from my injuries, and occasionally I practiced in the mountains. It was then that I saw Master Long Yao ..."
Bai Mo was known to be arrogant and looked down on others. If he were not, he would not have rushed to challenge Jun Wu Yao so impetuously, getting injured in the process. However, his arrogance continued. When he met Long Yao in the mountains, Bai Mo did not know the identity of the other party and wanted to show off. However, he saw that Long Yao, with just one move produced enough force to level a mountain in front of him ...
Seeing that completely stunned Bai Mo and he instantly knew that he would never be that person's match. Later, after he had overheard the person next to him call him Lord Long Yao, did he know the identity of the person.
At that time, Bai Mo was very glad that he had been injured and did not rush out, otherwise he was afraid that he would be injured further there and then.
"Long Yao is extremely arrogant and merciless to anyone in his way. Even if it is a mountain or river, if it displeases him, he can also level it without hesitation. With him as the host, I'm afraid this selection would not be that simple. " Bai Mo honestly said what he knew.
Although he didn't know much, from this alone he could tell what Long Yao's strength was and also his uninhibited arrogance.
.

Chapter 2925:- The Start Of The Selection (1)
"Senior Bai's words should be true. I also heard some news about the Knights of Destruction. It is said that with the exception of Lord Gu, who was the last to join, the other three are very cruel and not easy to deal with. In this selection, City Lord Yan should be more careful." Nangong Lie cast a meaningful look towards Jun Wu Xie.
If Jun Wu Xie was truly Yan Hai, there would have been no need to worry. But in reality she was more like a time bomb, and posed great danger at all times.
Even though she possessed the strength of the Dual Spirit Rings, she was in enemy territory. If her identity were to be revealed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ju Wu Xie nodded her head. In her heart, she was clear on this point.
Nangong Lie spoke to Jun Wu Xie for a while then left. Bai Mo had a very troubled look. He looked silently at Jun Wu Yao several times, with all his thoughts almost written on his face.
"Rest assured that when you are going to participate in the selection, I will lift your seal." Jun Wu Yao said with a rare note of compassion.
Bai Mo kowtowed to show his immense gratitude.
The night before the trial, it was as normal as it could possibly be for Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie had anticipated that Jun Gun would not become the examiner, but she did not know if she could see her parents while in the Sacred City.
Over the course of one night, the atmosphere in the Sacred City had changed dramatically. The selection of the top ten exponents was in full swing. Naturally, Jun Wu Xie, Qiao Chu and the rest went to the selection venue as soon as they could, wanting to see the strength of the participants.
The huge venue was packed with innumerable people. Bai Mo was also brought there to accompany her, and the seal on his body had been lifted. Jun Wu Yao had immediately assigned him the task of maintaining Jun Wu Xie's safety.
However....
Bai Mo felt that Jun Wu Yao was teasing him.
Was it not a joke that someone with Dual Spirit Rings needed his single Spirit Ring to protect her?
However, although he was full of complaints, he definitely did not dare to show it in front of Jun Wu Yao, and could only go along.
In the venue, one could see Bai Mo's small body circling Jun Wu Xie like a little chicken protecting its food. Whenever anyone approached, he used his murderous gaze to force them away.
He was not afraid that others would harm Jun Wu Xie, but rather, he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, it would give the Devil King an excuse to teach him a lesson!
Moreover....
At this stage, Bai Mo could only accept his fate. Although the Devil King was a bastard, City Lord Yan looked very kind. Bai Mo had not forgotten his original purpose of approaching Jun Wu Xie. Since he could not resist the Devil King's pressure, then he might as well be more attentive, maybe in a moment of compassion from City Lord Yan, and he might even get to share that elixir!
With this in mind, Bai Mo became more attentive to Jun Wu Xie, becoming nothing more than a lackey in the process.
In the venue, Jun Wu Xie even saw "old acquaintances".
Surrounded by a group of people, the magnificent Bai Zhu, Lord of White Night City, held a folding fan, projected elegance and nobility while sitting on the viewing platform, watching the selection. Surrounded by a group of lackeys, Bai Zhu's soaring posture seemed especially attractive and eye-catching.
.
.
.
Chapter 2926:- The Start Of The Selection (2)
There were but a few who could cultivate a Spirit Ring. Below the top ten exponents, were 72 City Lords. White Night City had long been ranked first place among the 72 cities, in addition to Bai Zhu's impressive personal strength. Naturally, many people fought to fawn over Bai Xhu.
However, the 72 cities today were not the same as before. Although Bai Zhu's status seemed to be unchanged, if one observed carefully, you could see that the lackeys around Bai Zhu were all from White Night City. Unlike in the past, the other cities were no longer always around the White Night City.
Each city fought for their leader, and the division was extremely obvious. As Nangong Lie said, in the early stage of the selection, basically no strong person will enter, and the first match was a duel between two strong exponents who were at the peak Gold Spirit level.
For ordinary people, the peak of Gold Spirit was unattainable, but in the top ten selection, those of that level had become the weakest exponents. The battle between them did not have any influence on the final result. The reason they worked so hard was to seize the opportunity to show their strength. Even if they could not hold a candle to the top ten exponents, being able to stay in the city would be their biggest lucky break.
In the ring, the two opponents were fighting as if their lives depended on it, but few paid them much attention. Most of them were talking amongst themselves, as if they came only to change meeting places instead of watching the selection.
Bai Zhu's gaze swept around the square, and soon his eyes set upon Jun Wu Xie, his eyes betraying his surprise. In an instant he got up and walked towards Jun Wu Xie.
The people around Bai Zhu were still a little dazed, but when they noticed the direction in which Bai Zhu was headed, they all quickly understood.
No matter how lofty Bai Zhu's status was, but in the realm of the 72 cities, there was always one person he could never surpass. That person was the lord of the Sea Spirit City, the Overlord of the 72 cities!
The people sitting beside Jun Wu Xie also noticed that Bai Zhu was walking towards them. Qiao Chu couldn't help but whisper into Jun Wu Xie's ear, "Bai Zhu is coming."
Jun Wu Xie glanced over blankly and gave a slight nod.
Jun Wu Xie didn't care too much for Bai Zhu
However, the identity of Bai Zhu had taken on a new meaning for Qiao Chu and the others.
Qiao Chu shifted his buttocks and went directly towards Bai Mo's side. Bai Mo looked at Qiao Chu with disdain, with a look in his eyes that clearly said to get lost.
However, Qiao Chu completely missed Bai Mo's hint and said, "Nephew, look at that person."
Qiao Chu raised his finger towards the approaching Bai Zhu.
Bai Mo gave him an exasperated look, "What's so good to look at? This kid is the current Lord of White Night City, must he have some blood relationship with you?" Qiao Chu looked at Bai Zhu with bright eyes. From the mouth of Jun Wu Xie, they already knew the identity of Bai Mo, as the previous Lord of White Night City.
Although Bai Mo, as the city lord, abandoned White Night City and chose to live in seclusion, it did not change the fact that he and Bai Zhu were both surnamed Bai. In fact, the two might have no blood relationship at all!
.
.
.
Chapter 2927:- The Start Of The Selection (3)
When Jun Wu Xie conquered the 72 cities, although Jun Wu Xie already showed her strength, and the Lords of the 72 cities were terrified, this did not erase the fact that Bai Zhu and the 72 Cities Lords' attempt to overthrow Jun Wu Xie. However, the power of Jun Wu Xie's Dual Spirit Rings gave Bai Zhu no chance of winning.
From Qiao Chu's years of experience, a hypocrite, such as Bai Zhu, could be seen a mile away.
Bullying the weak and fearing those above him was Bai Zhu's nature
However....
Qiao Chu was curious as to what Bai Zhu's reaction would be if they found out that White Night City's most powerful Lord had become Jun Wu Xie's "son".
However, Bai Mo did not realise Qiao Chu's intentions, but instead glanced at Qiao Chu impatiently, and then looked away.
What happened to White Night City?
He had already killed one Lord of White Night City, what was another to him?!
Just as Qiao Chu was eagerly awaiting to watch a good show, Bai Zhu had come right up to Jun Wu Xie, with a hypocritical gentle smile on his face.
"My Lord, it has been a long time since we last met, but I trust you are well?" Bai Zhu's tone of humility was extremely overboard. No one could have ever imagined that Bai Zhu, the former City Lord of the top city of the 72 cities, would be greeting a mere "youth" so humbly.
As soon as Bai Zhu got up and walked around the arena, many people focused their attention on him, and when those people saw the object of Bai Zhu's fawning, they understood everything.
Even they were unable to come forward and have a few words with Jun Wu Xie, not to mention Bai Zhu.
Given the power of Jun Wu Xie's Dual Spirit Rings, there would not be many people able to compete with her in the Upper Realm. Naturally, being on good terms with Jun Wu Xie would be the best choice at this time.
The only thing was....
Because the 72 cities previously jointly declared war on Sea Spirit City, many City Lords had fear in their hearts. This fear kept them from stepping forward and exposing their necks, but instead decided to watch Jun Wu Xie's reaction to Bai Zhu.
If Jun Wu Xie was able to accept the 'courageous' Bai Zhu calmly, then they would naturally dare to go up and fall at her feet!
"I am alright." Jun Wu Xie responded blandly, belaying an extremely cold attitude.
However, Bai Zhu seemed to be completely oblivious to Jun Wu Xie's coldness. He sat down where Qiao Chu had moved before, and looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile, saying, "Fortunately, My Lord is forgiving towards the previous incident, your subject Bai has never had time to apologize to you. Meeting you by chance, and coming to you uninvited, I hope you are not offended. "Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly. In truth, she had no plans to settle the score with Bai Zhu at all. The 72 cities were just a platform for her. After gaining the attention of His Lord, the significance of the Overlord title was negligible.
"My guess is that you have come here today to watch the selections. Am I right? But with your skills, it's natural that such a competition is not a problem, and there is not much to see in the early stages of the selection. There is only one point which my Lord should stay a little longer today as I hear that at the end of today's selection, Lord Long Yao will announce the will of His Lord." Bai Zhu did not care if Jun Wu Xie paid him any heed as he murmured to himself while still looking very natural. That self absorbed look made Bai Mo furrow his brow.
.

Chapter 2928:- A Dangerous Omen (1)
Bai Mo was annoyed by Bai Zhu's prideless appearance. Even though he had not bothered with the affairs of White Night City for a long time, he still held great pride for White Night City deep in his heart. No matter how powerful Jun Wu Xie was, as the Lord of White Night City, it was truly unbecoming for Bai Zhu to be so unnecessarily reverent.
Had it not been for his own internal power being sealed, Bai Mo might have killed the "unworthy successor" with a single slap.
It was utterly embarrassing for White Night City.
Unfortunately, Bai Zhu did not recognize Bai Mo at all, and didn't realize the impression he was giving. Bai Mo's face was turning red with anger, but all he cared about was saying what he wanted to say.
Jun Wu Xie listened quietly, she didn't care about the compliments coming out of Bai Zhu's mouth. It was, however, Bai Zhu's information that Long Yao would read out His Lord's will after the selection, which made her curious.
In the Sacred City, it could be said that Jun Wu Xie and His Lord were well within each other's reach, hope and danger were intermingled.
Maybe because Jun Wu Xie did not shoo Bai Zhu away, the other City Lords observing him all felt a little relieved.
During the selection, one could see all the City Lords lining up to either pledge their loyalty to Jun Wu Xie or pay her some kind of flattery. For a long period of time, there were a large number of people surrounding Jun Wu Xie, with her attracting far more attention than those exponents in the ring who were putting their lives on the line.
It was not until towards the end of the first day of the selection that the City Lords retreated, and allowed Jun Wu Xie to finally enjoy a moment of peace.
After the first day of the selection, a strong exponent with peak Gold Spirit had emerged victorious. After the fierce battle, he was already bruised and exhausted, but he looked like a man who was soaking in his glory, standing in the center of the ring, while waving his fists with excitement and showing his strength.
However, in the entire arena, the spectators cheering him on were few and far between, everyone's eyes merely glanced over him before looking at the man sitting in the highest seat of the arena.
Long Yao, one of the Knights of Destruction, who was also a judge at this selection. He had been in that seat for a long time and throughout the selection, wore a look of impatience on his face.
In terms of appearance, Long Yao was not exceptional. Under his burly figure, his slightly vicious face made people feel uncomfortable and unapproachable. Even a person as big and tall as a tree would think twice before approaching him.
Long after the victor showed off his victory to little applause, he finally realized that he was being ignored, and exited silently with the help of his companions.
What everyone knew was that today's game was of no consequence. No matter how fierce that fighter was, he had no chance to enter the Top Ten. He was, at best, just an appetizer, not qualified to even stand next to the real competitors.
Long Yao watched the people leave the platform as his sharp eyes swept around the quiet arena.
The day had ended, and the sun had set in the west. However none left the arena and all looked at Long Yao nervously.
"Sir, is it possible to start?" a guard standing behind Long Yao asked respectfully.
.
.
.
Chapter 2929:- A Dangerous Omen (2)
Long Yao did not rush to reply, as his gaze swept across the crowd in the arena. His attention focused on a thin figure in the crowd.
It was a good-looking youth. Throughout the selection, he was very quiet. No matter how much the elegant man sitting beside him sought his attention, he didn't even give as much as a smile in return.
Long Yao's was caught up in that moment because of that image.
"Sir?" The guard called out nervously.
Long Yao returned his senses and raised his chin slightly, but did not look away from Jun Wu Xie.
"That youth, is he Yan Hai, the Lord of Sea Spirit City?" Long Yao asked, in a deep, gravelly voice.
The guard followed Long Yao's line of sight, and after seeing Jun Wu Xie's image, he nodded slightly.
"Yes"
"Oh?" Long Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was an indescribable flash of light in his eyes. "This is the second person in the Upper Realm who has the legendary Dual Spirit Rings. Seriously ... I would never have guessed."
This drew a sneer from Long Yao's face. He could not reconcile the image of a big and powerful person with the youth in front of him.
He was too young and thin and looked like he could not withstand even the slightest wind or rain.
Such great power was really hidden in such a small body?
Long Yao could not help but stare at Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie quickly looked in his direction and although separated by distance, their gazes met and there was a moment of connection but it was all too fleeting.
Long Yao retracted his gaze and accompanied by the guard, sat up from the high position. His large frame took a step forward and was in everyone's sight.
There was silence in the arena, and no one dared to make a sound.
Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly, for some reason, when her and Long Yao's eyes met, she got a bad feeling in her heart.
But she did not know where that feeling came from.
She was sure that she and Long Yao had met for the first time today. It was rare that a complete stranger could elicit such a strong feeling from her. At the same time, Long Yao started speaking to the crowd..
"Today is the first day of the Top Ten Exponents selection contest. I am also participating in this competition for the first time. What I have seen today is utterly disappointing ... My Lord wants the truly strong, the ones who deserve the title of the Top TenExponents! Instead, this was rubbish. If the future selections are just as meaningless, then you can get out of the Sacred City, the Sacred City will not tolerate such garbage! " As soon as Long Yao spoke, everyone in the arena was stunned!
The merciless insult was like a bucket of ice cold water poured over everyone's head. Even the person who won that day was as good as dead from Long Yao's contempt!
"Looking at this pile of garbage, it's just a waste of my time. I'm too lazy to tell you more, except this!" Long Yao's look stiffened: "My Lord has ordered that anyone who wants to challenge the top ten exponents must challenge them during this selection and in this arena only. No one may attack the top ten privately at any other time or place, or they will be killed!
As soon as Long Yao's words finished, everyone couldn't help but let go of their breath!
This is the first time His Lord has changed the rules of the selection of the top ten exponents since its inception!
.
.

Chapter 2930:- A Dangerous Omen (3)
Before Bai Mo, the reason why he could openly challenge Nangong Lie was because there were no restrictions on the time and methods when challenging. Those who wanted to compete for the positions of Top Ten Experts could use all kinds of unscrupulous means, assassinations, poisoning, etc. But now, there was no chance of using them in the arena.
One of the top ten exponents today, the seventh-ranked Fang Jinghe, was a master at using poison. He was able to climb into the Top Ten that year, because using a large amount of poison, he poisoned a number of participants before the selection, including one of the Top Ten exponents at that time and killed him, giving himself an opportunity to ascend the ranks.
Although Fang Jinghe was also a strong exponent who possessed a Spirit Ring, he was not the strongest in that batch. But he had used this method to successfully get everything he wanted. Whoever entered the Top Ten, would have had the best resources to cultivate their own strength. Therefore, Fang Jinghe improved his power little by little over the next millennium.
If he did not resort to poison at the start, it was likely he would not have the ability to ascend to his current position.
Long Yao's proclamation basically killed off anybody's hopes of using non-conventional means to obtain victory, making the selections more fair, while increasing the level of competitiveness and savagery in the battles.
"If you understand everything, get lost." Long Yao waved his hand impatiently, as if dismissing a group of flies.
In the arena, no one dared to have any dissatisfaction with Long Yao's attitude, and could only withdraw obediently from the arena.
"This year's trials will be a bit more interesting, but these changes should have no impact on you my Lord." said Bai Zhu after listening to Long Yao's words, while looking at Jun Wu Xie with a smile, never forgetting to be reverent.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Bai Zhu disinterestedly and got up to leave.
Of course, Bai Zhu who had no intention of avoiding suspicion, followed the steps of Jun Wu Xie.
"I say, Lord of White Night City, what do you mean by this?" said Fei Yan, who was on the side, with a frown on his face. How thick was Bai Zhu's skin? Jun Wu Xie ignored him from beginning to end, but he was still shamelessly following her?
Bai Zhu did not think his actions were embarrassing at all, but said very matter of factly, "It's rare to see my Lord and I have to apologize for past mistakes. I also ask my Lord to give me face, and accept my invitation to a meal."
Jun Wu Xie looked at the smiling Bai Zhu and replied coldly, "There is no need."
The smile on Bai Zhu's face continued. "My Lord, don't be in a rush to refuse. I know I'm wrong, and I know you do not rate my power highly. However since you will be participating in the selection, I have some information on the Top Ten exponents and I wonder if you could spare some time to look at it? "
When Rong Ruo heard Bai Zhu's words, she could not help but frown secretly. Bai Zhu was clever and knew what others needed. Jun Wu Xie was powerful and did not need Bai Zhu's help. In the selection, she would eventually face the person from the Upper Realm, but before that, Jun Wu Xie must fight with his lackeys.

Chapter 2931:- A Dangerous Omen (4)
Whether Bai Zhu meant it or not, this was exactly what Jun Wu Xie needed.
After a moment of silence, Jun Wu Xie nodded slowly, and Bai Zhu immediately led the way with a smile.
Looking at Bai Zhu who was fawning over Jun Wu Xie, Bai Mo's brows were deeply wrinkled. Standing to the side, Qiao Chu watched Bai Mo give an extreme expression, and couldn't help but quipp, "My nephew, it is truly amazing how thick the younger generation's skin is!"
Jun Wu Xie might as well have carved the words "Get Lost" on her face, but Bai Zhu could still behave in such a familiar manner. This really made Qiao Chu's stare with his eyes wide open.
Bai Mo licked his lips and looked at Qiao Chu with a complicated expression.
"Idiot"
Qiao Chu was confused at getting scolded by Bai Mo. Before he could react, Bai Mo went forward, which confused Qiao Chu. "This is a matter for the Bais, what does it have to do with me?" Qiao Chu scratched his head silently.
Rong Ruo sighed aloud, "Bai Zhu is being so attentive, that there is definitely more than meets the eye. Bai Mo should be thinking this too and thus reacted as such."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Chu was a little confused.
Hua Yao spoke up, "The end game is not yet certain, but with Bai Zhu's status, there is no need to fawn over Little Xie in this manner. Although Little Xie has become the Overlord of the 72 cities, she will never intervene. It can be said that as long as you don't provoke her, things in the 72 cities will remain the same, and Bai Zhu will maintain his current status in White Night City. No matter how much he tries, the Little Xie won't give him more."
Bai Zhu's attention was a bit overboard, but Jun Wu Xie could not possibly have failed to notice what those at her side already have.
Several youths had their own opinions and although not obvious, they were watching Bai Zhu's every move.
Bai Zhu led Jun Wu Xie and the rest to a restaurant in the Sacred City. He very arrogantly reserved the whole floor, ordered a tableful of delicacies, and generously treated Jun Wu Xie and the others to a meal.
During the banquet, Bai Zhu sat down next to Jun Wu Xie, as if he already knew what Jun Wu Xie was interested in. Bai Zhu did not talk much nonsense, but went directly to talking about the current Top Ten Exponents.
"My lord, please look over there." Bai Zhu said as he raised his hand, He arranged to be at the window on the second floor of the restaurant so that when he raised his hand, he was pointing at someone below.
The man was wearing a light, pale green gown and had a tall and thin build, he was so thin he seemed to consist of skin, bone and not much else. His cheeks were sunken, and dark rings under his eyes. Next to him were a few burley guards, and everyone who walked on the road was trembling and respectful.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and looked at the man, waiting for Bai Zhu's next words.
"That is Fang Jinghe, who is ranked seventh among the Top Ten masters and the one with the most devious means. He may not be the strongest, but his skills are not to be looked down upon. If my Lord fights with him in the future, please be careful. This person's skill is poisoning, and has trained up great immunity by having poisons in his body at all times. If he injures you, even a minor injury will spread because of the toxin and kill you." said Bai Mo seriously and sincerely.
.
.
.
Chapter 2932:- A Dangerous Omen (5)
Jun Wu Xie looked at Fang Jinghe, who was surrounded by guards while walking on the street. This was the person Nangong Lie had mentioned to her in the past. It was this person's underhanded means in the past that made many people with insufficient strength and ill intent start to think about getting into the Top Ten Exponents by any method necessary.
However...
For any method or any strategy.
The first person to use it was a genius, the second was a fool.
After Fang Jinghe used poison, all who came to participate in the Top Ten Exponents selection would have already taken precautions, and they would rarely fall for the same trick. So the current situation where His Lord changed the rules was really weird. After all, people like Fang Jinghe had only one trick up their sleeves.
"Fang Jinghe can be regarded as the most unscrupulous of the Top Ten exponents, and he is cruel by nature. Anyone who comes up against him must be careful." said Bai Zhu as he looked at Jun Wu Xie.
"I had heard that he was leaving his residence today, so I invited you, my Lord to come here."
Bai Zhu appeared as sincere as possible in front of Jun Wu Xie. If it was not for the fact that everyone knew that Bai Zhu colluded with the other city lords of the 72 cities in an attempt to overthrow Jun Wu Xie, people would be totally unaware what a wicked person he was purely based on his actions today.
After all, with Bai Zhu's handsome appearance and elegant manner, coupled with a calming voice that sounded like flowing water in a gentle stream, it was easy to be charmed by him.
Qiao Chu stared at Bai Zhu secretly, becoming more confused with the more he saw. He really could not figure out what Bai Zhu's intentions were and could only peek at Bai Mo's reaction from time to time as a gauge.
However, he found that Bai Mo looked very displeased since he took his seat.
Perhaps Qiao Chu was staring at Bai Mo a little too intently that even Bai Zhu became aware of it. Bai Zhu had just noticed that a little brat accompanied Jun Wu Xie and his surprise could be seen in his eyes.
"And this is?" asked Bai Zhu.
"This is the son of our Lord." Qiao Chu replied without good intention, he suddenly and unexpectedly developed a bad intention in his heart.
As soon as Qiao Chu said this, Bai Mo, who was at his side, immediately glared at him.
Bai Zhu had a look of surprise on his face.
"I would not have guessed that my Lord already has a child at his age..." If he remembered correctly, Yan Hai was not that old, how could he have such a big son?
Jun Wu Xie said nothing, but Bai Mo looked at Bai Zhu with exasperation, "Can't I be adopted?"
"..." Bai Zhu did not expect this little rascal to have such a big temper. That look gave him a bit of a chill, but soon he returned to normal.
"Sorry, I have overstepped my boundaries."
Bai Mo tsked coldly and turned away, no longer caring about Bai Zhu.
After sitting for a while, Bai Zhu continued telling Jun Wu Xie about the other strong exponents, and then they went their separate ways.
The second day of the selection was still boring, but Jun Wu Xie still attended. She was more interested in observing Long Yao and seeing if any Top Ten exponents appeared in the arena. Bai Zhu seemed to be infatuated and as long as he saw Jun Wu Xie, he would spontaneously go to her and continuously kept a smile on his face no matter how cold Jun Jun Xie treated him.
Since Bai Zhu did not do anything other than sit near Jun Wu Xie, and rarely spoke, it was difficult to find a reason to chase him away. As such, Jun Wu Xie could only choose to ignore his existence.
When the selection ended, Bai Zhu would quickly leave on his own. Even Qiao Chu, who was very straightforward, also felt there was no reason to lay a hand on him.
.
.
.
Chapter 2933:- Descending Into Danger (1)
The first two days of the selection were boring and made the spectators restless. On the first day, many people were in the arena to watch the trial and the number of people on the second day had dropped by almost half. When it came to the third day...
"Little Xie, do you still want to go today?" Qiao Chu stared at Jun Wu Xie. In truth, seeing the people of peak Gold Spirit Peak fight for their lives all day, was utterly boring for him.
Although Qiao Chu was now trying to condense Spiritual Inscriptions, it was only a bit higher than the peak of the Gold Spirit, but for him who had experienced countless blood battles, the 'enthusiastic' fighting in the ring couldn't stir his blood.
Although the foundations of the Upper Realm were strong, they were too powerful, resulting in many lost fighting opportunities. The strong exponents in the Upper Realm could, at best, have one-on-one battles. Compared to the battles involving tens of thousands in the Lower and Middle Realms, there was much less blood and excitement.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. "I received news from my father yesterday. Today, Wu Yao and I are going to see him and my mother."
At the mere mention of Jun Gu and Han Zi Fei, Qiao Chu and the others' eyes lit up.
However, these youths were very clear. Given Jun Gu's status as a Knight of Destruction, there would be many guards and strong exponents surrounding him. With the skills of Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao, sneaking in to meet Jun Gu would not be difficult. But it would not be so easy for the rest of them.
"Then please help us pay our respects to Grandpa and Grandma," Qiao Chu said.
Jun Wu Xie nodded with a slight smile forming across the corner of her mouth.
"Alright, I want to go into the city to see what's there as well. I won't go to the stadium today." Fei Yan shrugged. Watching two days of the selection made his eyes go dizzy, plus the constant presence of Bai ZHu disgusted him. He really did not want to go anymore. He turned his eyes and looked at Rong Ruo expectantly.
"LIttle Ruo, do you want to go and take a look?"
As he said this, Fei Yan's eyes were full of tension and worry, and he was afraid that Rong Ruo would reject him.
Maybe it was due to Fei Yan's worried expression but after only a moment's hesitation, Rong Ruo nodded her head, indicating her agreement.
Fei Yan and Rong Ruo intended to go out for a walk and Qiao Chu and the rest naturally did not want to stay in the restaurant. He and Hua Yao were also ready to go out for a walk, while the singular Fan Zhuo said he was willing to stay in the restaurant. Jun Wu Xie did not force it and directly pushed Bai Mo to Fan Zhuo as a companion.
Bai Mo, "..."
Could it be that nobody wanted his opinion?
It was a shame that no matter how angry Bai Mo was, whenever he saw Jun Wu Xie's smiling face, he had no response except to go with the flow and he dared not speak out at all. He could only lower his head in sorrow and self pity.
Got it!
He said nothing, okay?
When each person formed their plans, the group separated.
Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao deliberately disguised themselves to make their looks less attractive.
Qiao Chu liked good food, and naturally dragged Hua Yao to a delicious place, but Fei Yan and Rong Ruo, intended to look at the scene in the Holy City and see if they could get some useful information.
Back in the restaurant, only Fan Zhuo and Bai Mo remained, both of them staring at each other. Bai Mo grunted arrogantly and turned to his room.
Although....
This was an excellent opportunity to escape, but ... Bai Mo's spiritual power was still blocked by Jun Wu Yao! !!
.
.
.
Chapter 2934:- Descending Into Danger (2)
Bai Mo wanted to escape, but he was not willing to sacrifice all of his cultivation, no wonder Jun Wu Xie dared to leave him alone under the watch of Fan Zhuo, she had accurately predicted that Bai Mo would hate to part with the strength of his single Spirit Ring, she knew that before regaining his power, Bai Mo wouldn't rush away!
Fan Zhuo looked at Bai Mo's back with a smile and could not help but raise his hands and touch the tip of his nose. His attitude towards the "nephew" was really quite delicate.
On their way from the Sacred Mountain, Jun Wu Xie had sent Zheng Weilong, Ah Da, and Ye Mei and Ye Sha back to Sea Spirit City, and it was also an early message to Ye Gu from Sea Spirit City.
"Brother Fan?" Bai Zhu shouted suddenly while looking at Fan Zhuo's back.
Fan Zhuo was a little surprised, he had not expected Bai Zhu to be back there again, but no matter how displeased Fan Zhuo was with Bai Zhu at that moment, Fan Zhuo's face still had a gentle smile on it.
When it came to being pretentious, both of them were not joking.
"City Lord Bai?" What brings you here today?" Fan Zhuo asked with a smile.
Bai Zhu replied, "I've come to see my Lord, I wonder if he is resting in the room?"
Fan Zhuo shook his head, saying, "My Lord has some matters to attend to and left early in the morning."
"I see, it looks like I have made the trip in vain." Bai Zhu said, still smiling.
Fan Zhuo was not one to console people, fortunately Bai Zhu was not a fool and after knowing that Jun Wu Xie was not there, did not stay long.
"In that case, please allow me to trouble you to inform my Lord that I have come today." Bai Zhu said.
Fan Zhuo nodded his head, smiling.
At that, Bai Zhu left.
Fan Zhuo felt that Bai Zhu's behaviour was very suspicious. After all, with his status, it was really unnecessary. He, Rong Ruo and Hua Yao had been pondering this for a few days, but they could not think of a reason and could only return to the room and stare.
However, when Fan Zhuo turned around, he found Bai Mo that had already returned. He had no idea when Bai Mo had returned and now Bai Mo was standing boldly at the doorway, looking at Fan Zhuo with an undecipherable look.
"What's up?" Fan Zhuo asked suspiciously.
Bai Zhu pursed his lips and his eyes were a little hesitant. He said nothing and pushed open the door to his room. With one foot through the door, he paused and looked up at Fan Zhuo.
"There aren't many good people from the Bai family, best you don't believe too much of what they say."
This sudden warning stunned Fan Zhuo slightly. He did not expect Bai Mo to say such a thing.
These words felt like there was concern behind them.
"Nephew..."
Bai Mo's facial expression changed slightly and his eyes suddenly became alive!
"Thank you." Fan Zhuo said with a smile.
Bai Mo suddenly looked angry and hastily entered the door.
"Who needs your thanks? I just cannot stand these hypocritical things, they are the tricks of the weak!" With that, Bai Mo closed his door in a huff.
Fan Zhuo stared at the locked door and was unable to stifle his laughter.
Bai Mo was getting cuter and cuter, no wonder Brother Wu Yao would adopt such a "son". He seemed like an interesting person.
However, what exactly was Bai Mo warning him about?
Could Bai Zhu have some tricks up his sleeve?
.

Chapter 2935:- Descending Into Danger (3)
Jun Wu Xie found Jun Gu's residence quickly after following the instructions mentioned in Jun Gu's message. It was heavily guarded, but for her and Jun Wu Yao, it was as simple as entering a deserted area. In no time at all, Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao entered the house.
Being a Knight of Destruction, Jun Gu's residence in the Sacred City was very spacious.
Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao saw the figures of their parents in the courtyard.
"Father, mother." When Jun Wu Xie saw her parents, her expression softened greatly.
Han Zi Fei, who had been living in Sacred City for a while, dropped all nobility when she saw Jun Wu Xie and stretched her arms out to embrace her daughter.
Jun Gu looked on with a smile and shook his head, his eyes met Jun Wu Yao's, with whom he had a tacit understanding and both their eyes were filled with affection for their respective wives.
"You're finally here. If you were delayed any longer, I'm afraid your mother would go in person to see you." Jun Gu sighed helplessly. Jun Wu Xie's status in the Upper Realm meant that she was noticed wherever she went. As soon as Jun Wu Xie entered the Sacred City, Jun Gu had already received the news. If it weren't for being afraid that it would attract too much attention, Han Zi Fei would have already gone to Jun Wu Xie.
Han Zi Fei glanced at the man of the house, "Our daughter has gone through so much suffering, if you as a father are not heartbroken, I am."
"..." Jun Gu was taken aback and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"How can I not be heartbroken? Alright, let them sit and rest. The way you are hugging her might scare her away." Jun Gu said.
Han Zi Fei still had the pained expression on her face, but was really just feeling heartbroken for Jun Wu Xie and pulled Jun Wu Xie to sit down in the gazebo.
"We asked you to come, firstly because your mother misses you and secondly, due to the Top Ten Experts selection." Jun Gu said seriously as Han Zi Fei stopped her complaining.
"It seems that there are quite a few differences between this Top Ten Experts selection and previous ones. Do you know something about that?" Jun Wu Xie guessed.
Jun Gu nodded, "It seems you have noticed, because I entered the Upper Realm relatively late, I have not experienced any selections. For this selection, His Lord has already made some moves, he let Long Yao be the examiner of the selection, this alone is highly suspicious. Long Yao is very cruel and unforgiving. He's the second person to become a Knight of Destruction and has great pride, even sometimes looking down on me. He is thinking of becoming the highest position below His Lord, and he often has disagreements with the other two Knights of Destruction. This time, the Lord did not call you directly but asked you to participate in this selection and it is really disturbing me. "
Jun Gu's brows were lightly furrowed. He was indifferent to matters of the Upper Realm but this time, it was relating to his own daughter. He did not know why but he felt that the selection was specially designed by His Lord's to deal with Jun Wu Xie.
After all, there was no need for someone with the power of Jun Wu XIe to participate in this competition, for no one there would be a match for Jun Wu Xie.
.
.
.
Chapter 2936:- Descending Into Danger (4)
However, she was obviously the most unsuitable participant for the selection, but she was nevertheless asked to participate. Coupled with the various changes announced, made it difficult for Jun Gu's mind not to race with possibilities.
"Long Yao is powerful, even I may not necessarily be his match. You have to be careful. No one in the Sacred City knows your real strength. As far as the Dual Spirit Rings is concerned, you already have the power to destroy the Knights of Destruction. With Long Yao's temperament, he will never allow anyone to threaten his position. In this selection, the one you really need to pay attention to is not your opponent, but Long Yao. Do you know that?" Jun Gu watched Jun Wu Xie cautiously. If he were not afraid to expose his relationship with Jun Wu Xie prematurely, raising suspicion from His Lord, he wished he could stand in front of everyone at this moment and declare that Jun Wu Xie was his daughter, so that he could take care of her.
But if he did, it was likely that within a day, His Lord would realise that he had recovered his memory, and that he might be arrested and Jun Wu Xie's identity would be under further scrutiny.
"What father means is that His Lord is using this selection as a means to make it difficult for me?" asked Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Gu did not respond immediately, but after a long silence, said, "Although I was selected by him, I have little actual contact with him. Before that, I had been in a daze, and I can only say nobody can predict his behavior, moody is the best way to describe him. If I really had to guess ... "Jun Gu looked up at Han Zi Fei," Zi Fei, you should know more about him than me. From your point of view, what does the Lord want to do? "
Han Zi Fei had no reason to mince her words, she said bluntly: "According to everything you just said, I think your inference should be correct. This selection is very likely to be directed at Little Xie. The Lord is a very strange character and seems to care about nothing. Looking at the entire Upper Realm and how chaotic the system is; the strong live and the weak die. This is not a place suitable for people to live. No matter how bad the injustice, He never reproaches anyone. The only thing he cares about is strength ... "
In the Upper Realm, murder, arson, adultery, looting and whatever evils could be done, and no sanctions would be imposed. There were no family ties, no friendship, no love, and everything revolved around strength.
The strong controlled everything and could trample on the lives and dignity of the weak.
As far as someone in power was concerned, no one would be willing to raise a group of ambitious strong men, which would greatly threaten their rule.
But in the Upper Realm, there was no such worry. His Lord not only allowed this savagery, he even erased all rules and linked all power and status to strength. He hoped to see the ambitious people fight for their lives.
He never feared the emergence of any strong exponent, he even dared to use such an ambitious person as Long Ya and entrusted him with a big task.
In the eyes of many, his behaviour was that of a madman!
He only needed the strong, and everything else was secondary.
.

Chapter 2937:- Descending Into Danger (5)
"I don't think the Lord is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Little Xie through this selection, because it is not something he has done before. I do think he is using it as a test." Han Zi Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. "It is a test of how much strength Little Xie has, and whether it is enough to make him pay attention."
Han Zi Fei's words made Jun Gu and others fall into silence. Whether it was to make life difficult or a test, there was only one consistent point.
And that was that this selection was set up by His Lord specifically for Jun Wu Xie and nobody knew what would happen while it was running its course.
"Your mother may be right. Little Xie, you have to remember to be careful of Long Yao. He is His Lord's first step to deal with you, and you will have to deal with him all by yourself. Your mother and I's greatest desire is to see you safe and sound. Remember that in any situation, protect yourself! "
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head. The closer she got to His Lord, the more she realised that danger was everywhere.
......
On the Sacred City's streets, Fei Yan was following Rong Ruo and not for a second did his gaze move away from Rong Ruo. Perhaps his stare was too obvious and after walking for a while, Rong Ruo could not help but turn around and look at Fei Yan.
Fei Yan was startled, and he averted his gaze stiffly and said: "The Sacred City is so big, but there are so many experts here. If in the future, Little Xie battles with His Lord here, I am afraid that it will be a fierce battle. With our current strength, we will not be of much help and I don't know if there is any way to quickly improve our strength."
Rong Ruo looked at the rambling Fei Yan with a smile. Although she knew what he was doing just now, she didn't reveal it and very gently said, "If you want to improve your strength, you cannot do it overnight. However as long as we keep working hard, there will always be progress. Our strength may not be comparable to those with the Spirit Rings, but we have Ring Spirits. This is what people in the Upper Realm do not have, and it is our greatest advantage. "
Ring Spirits, this kind of spirit had never been seen in the Upper Realm, was an inseparable binding for Rong Ruo. She believed that if used properly, it would have great effects in future battles.
"Unfortunately, this place is full of danger. I haven't released the Ring Spirits for a long time, and I don't know if it will be badly repressed." Fei Yan sighed.
Rong Ruo laughed, said no more as she continued walking forward.
Fei Yan's eyes could not help but rest on Rong Ruo's back once more. Rong Ruo's was very tall, not as petite as Jun Wu Xie, and not as graceful as the average woman, it was almost as if she moved with the freedom and ease of the man. But to Fei Yan, it was the most beautiful sight in the world, one that he would not tire of looking at everyday for the rest of his life.
He wanted to get closer, but did not know what to do. Fei Yan did not dare not take a step forward as he once tried that, but was rejected. Now he can only bury his love in his heart and go along as before as if it didn't exist.
.
.
.
Chapter 2938:- Massacre (1)
The two walked on the street one after the other. The bustling crowd suddenly disappeared. Rong Ruo paused her footsteps. She looked at the figure standing at one end of the street.
"Little Ruo?" Fei Yan's mind was all on Rong Ruo's body. He hadn't noticed the previous situation. Suddenly, he saw Rong Ruo stopped and he couldn't help being curious.
Rong Ruo turned around without giving Fei Yan any chance to speak. She grabbed Fei Yan's hand.
Fei Yan's face was flushed completely. A moment of joy just rose from his heart. Suddenly he found that Rong Ruo's expression was very dignified. He pulled her toward the direction that he came from.
"Don't talk, just go." Rong Ruo deliberately lowered her voice and sounded in Fei Yan's ears.
No matter how ignorant Fei Yan was, he realized the abnormality of the matter. He quickly turned his head and looked at the street behind him.
The street was empty. There's only one figure standing at the entrance to the street.
The appearance of that person surprised Fei Yan!
It was a skinny man, and his sunken cheeks looked a little sick. At the thin corner of his lips, there was a creepy smile. The hollow and gloomy eyes looked straight at him and Rong Ruo.
Fang Jinghe! !!
In Fei Yan's mind, the identity of that person quickly emerged.
Fang Jinghe, one of the Top Ten Experts, wasn't the one they saw that day?
But how did he appear here?
Why did he look at him and Little Ruo with such dangerous eyes?
Fei Yan didn't have time to think about it. He subconsciously sped up his steps, and backhandedly walked away with Rong Ruo. Regardless of why Fang Jinghe appeared here, his eyes only made Fei Yan feel very dangerous. Anxiety emerged from the bottom of his heart, as if a voice in his heart urged him to leave immediately.
Of course ...
Fei Yan and Rong Ruo failed to get out of that street.
Fang Jinghe, who was not far behind them, did not know when they appeared in front of him. He happened to block their only way!
Fei Yan was almost subconscious, defending Rong Ruo behind him. The smile on his face disappeared in no time. He attentively looked at Fang Jinghe. Every cell in his body seemed to be cold and exploded in the cold wind.
Fang Jinghe's skinny face had a creepy and grinning smile on his face. His eyes looked like poisonous snakes, with a disgusting contempt. He looked up and down at Fei Yan and Rong Ruo.
"Please give way." Fei Yan forced himself to calm down. The other party was one of the Top Ten Experts, not his ability to fight with. If he took the initiative, he and Rong Ruo would suffer.
Fang Jinghe raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not respond. He did not move away either.
Fei Yan took a deep breath and pulled Rong Ruo away from Fang Jinghe's side.
However, Fang Jinghe stretched out his hand at this time and once again blocked their way.
"You two, aren't you from the Sacred City?" Fang Jinghe narrowed his eyes and looked at Fei Yan and Rong Ruo with indignation.
"No." said Fei Yan.
Fang Jinghe raised his chin slightly and said, "No wonder you don't understand the rules well. Don't you know that in the Sacred City, you have to bow down and greet when you see the Top Ten Experts?"
Fei Yan's eyes shook slightly. Even if he had never been to the Sacred City before, he knew that Fang Jinghe's words were sheer rumours!
.
.
.
Chapter 2939:- Massacre (2)
Kneel?
If there was such a thing, why would Nangong Lie not mention it?
It was clear that Fang Jinghe deliberately made things difficult for them.
At this moment, Fei Yan and Rong Ruo already knew very well that Fang Jinghe came to them at this time. But why?
They had not stayed in Sacred City for a long time and they had never had any contact with the people in the Sacred City. What was the reason that Fang Jinghe made things difficult this time?
"How? You don't understand, I had already taught you. Do you want me to do it myself, break your legs, and teach you how to kneel down and greet?" Fang Jinghe sneered.
Fei Yan's eyes narrowed, his whole body's spiritual power had quietly condensed, and Rong Ruo following behind him had also entered a state of alert.
Kneel down?
Whether they kneel or not, Fang Jinghe would not let them go!
They had no time to think about why Fang Jinghe came. The situation right before them had driven them to a dead end!
Almost instantly, Fei Yan and Rong Ruo secretly exchanged a look. The two were at a distance from Fang Jinghe at the same time .Their spiritual power was started churning rapidly!
A spirit pattern flashing with light radiated around Rong Ruo's body, and a spirit inscription appeared on Fei Yan's body.
These were spiritual inscriptions that they had improved during this period of time.
"Oh? I didn't expect two of you to be strong spirit inscriptions exponents. It really surprised me that you can condense spirit inscriptions at your age." Fang Jinghe saw the spirit inscriptions around them. No surprise, he raised his eyebrows lightly. He slowly raised his hand, a dazzling aura emerged from the palm of his hand.
"However, it's a pity that your opponent is me. Before you reach the real level of Spirit Ring exponent, even if you have more spirit inscriptions, it will not help you." Fang Jinghe issued a grinning smile, viciously glanced over to Fei Yan and Rong Ruo.
Fei Yan and Rong Ruo had raised their alertness. Though Fang Jinghe had not given his shot, they had already felt a strong and powerful spiritual pressure surrounding them. The overwhelming force made them difficult to breathe. They had clearly realized the big gap between themselves and Fang Jinghe.
Cold sweat seeps from their foreheads. They were dealing against a real Spirit Ring exponent. It was a huge challenge for the two who had just gathered the spirit inscriptions.
Of course.
If they don't fight, they will die. If they fight, there might be a chance to live!
"Now, I will let you know the difference between you and the Spirit Ring exponent. Dying in my hands is a glory for you." The smile at the corner of Fang Jing's mouth suddenly deepened. The figure disappeared without a trace the moment his words landed.
Rong Ruo was too late to see the moves of Fang Jinghe. She felt that a powerful force was coming towards her. She could only rely on her accumulated experience over the years of battles, concentrating all her strength on her arms. She covered her face with her arms in the shortest time.
Just when Rong Ruo just raised her hand, the figure of Fang Jinghe appeared in front of her. She saw a ray of light, like a thunderbolt. It hit Rong Ruo's arms instantly. Rong Ruo's body was like a kite with a broken line, flying several meters away. She fell heavily onto the ground, smashing a huge dent on the stone floor beneath her!
.
.
.
Chapter 2940:- Massacre (3)
"Little Ruo !!!" Fei Yan watched Rong Ruo fading to the ground. His eyes were instantly congested with blood. He didn't care about anything. He tried to use all of his strength to rush to Fang Jinghe, blocking the next blow from him!
With only one blow, Fei Yan's internal organs were as painful as if they were smashed into smithereens. But he did not step back. He blocked it in front of Rong Ruo, and the spirit inscription on his chest was already crumbling. A faint crack appeared.
Fang Jinghe stepped back. Like a tiger teasing prey, he watched Fei Yan and Rong Ruo.
The Spirit Ring Exponent. The reason why they could set foot on the top of the Upper Realm was precisely because of the powerful force. The spirit inscription and the spirit ring seem to be only one word apart. But the real difference was huge.
With only two blows, Fang Jinghe had already seriously injured Rong Ruo and Fei Yan.
At this moment, Fei Yan realized for the first time the gap between himself and the Spirit Ring Exponent. His own power was beyond ordinary people. But facing Fang Jinghe, he was so pale and weak. That pain seemed to remind him of the danger at all times.
Of course ...
The corner of Fei Yan's eyes glanced at Rong Ruo behind him. She took the first blow of Fang Jinghe's full strength and was not supported by the brute force of Fei Yan. With one blow, a large amount of blood had leaked from the corner of her mouth. The slender body trembled on the broken stone slab. She couldn't even stand up.
Fei Yan had never seen Rong Ruo look so embarrassed. The trace of blood was imprinted in his eyes, like the magma burning his soul.
"Oh, the two of you indeed have some skills. You could still survive after taking a blow from me. I thought that it would be a very boring thing to kill the two spirit inscriptions exponent. You are better than my expectations." Fang Jinghe looked at the embarrassing Rong Ruo and Fei Yan with contempt. In their eyes, such miserable looks were a pleasure to him.
Fei Yan wanted to help Rong Ruo up, but he didn't dare to move. Fang Jinghe was too formidable. He was not fast enough to keep up. He was afraid. If he moved away, Fang Jinghe would take the opportunity to attack Rong Ruo again.
His physical strength was higher than that of Rong Ruo. His brute force had a little effect at this moment. Fei Yan's mind was thinking quickly about the situation at this moment. In his condition, he may still be able to stand up to defend the second attack, but Little Ruo...
Fei Yan took a deep breath with one hand behind his back. He secretly made a gesture to Fei Yan.
Rong Ruo felt that her whole body was as painful as being beaten by someone. But when she saw Fei Yan's gesture, she froze.
That gesture. She was most familiar with it. It was a gesture often used by the two when they were young and caught by Yan Bu Gui.
You go, I'll follow behind.
The memories of childhood filled Rong Ruo's mind instantly. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Fei Yan with uncertainty.
At that time, every time she and Fei Yan were caught by Yan Bu Gui. One person would always stand up to bear their master's punishment. At that time, they also used this gesture to let the other party slip away.
But...
Rong Ruo rubbed her lips. There was no room for negotiation. Fang Jinghe wanted to kill them!
