Chapter 415

Leng Yan's voice echoed in the Jueyin Tower; it seemed gentle, but it made everyone in the many elegant rooms realize something was wrong.

A visit?

If it were a visit, why be so loud?

"Leng Yan? That's the only son of the Huanzhen Marquis, right? Why would he suddenly run over here to find Xu Yuan? Who is Xu Yuan?"

"I seem to have heard it just now; Xu Yuan is that newcomer who is tenth on the Sky-Flying Ranking."

"I remember now; Leng Yan was tenth on the Sky-Flying Ranking before, and now he's coming to find trouble with Xu Yuan?"

"This is interesting," the hundreds of elegant rooms were almost full, and many people looked over through the windows with great interest, and quite a few even walked out of their rooms.

One must know, as a top place of pleasure in the Yuan Nation's Royal Capital, the spending in the Jiuyin Tower was extremely astonishing, and the Jueyin Tower was an even more top-tier place within the Jiuyin Tower... those who could sit in the elegant rooms of the Jueyin Tower were either rich or noble.

Most of those in these elegant rooms were members of divine families or even marquis families, and there were also many members of the royal family, most of whom were demigod experts... if they were lone wolves, they usually had to be peak demigod experts to be willing to spend money here.

It could be said.

Below the gods.

This represented the upper society of the Yuan Nation's Royal Capital, and they were mostly very familiar with Leng Yan.

"Leng Yan is not to be trifled with."

"The only son of the Huanzhen Marquis."

"That Xu Yuan can replace Leng Yan's spot, is he easy to trifle with? Let's watch them fight it out," the hundreds of demigods present all watched Leng Yan and the dozen or so demigods he led.

"Xu Yuan seems to be with Jiang Shan."

"Jiang Shan is here too?"

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Leng Yan's voice echoed in the Jueyin Tower.

In the elegant room, Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and others who were chatting very harmoniously naturally heard it too.

"Leng Yan?" Jiang Shan frowned.

"This idiot Leng Yan, he sent people to follow Brother Xu and me on the way here, and now he actually dares to come looking for us directly," Jiang Xuan was immediately angry: "Brother, I will drive him away."

She didn't care about Leng Yan's background.

"Sit down," Jiang Shan said in a low voice.

"Brother," Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Shan.

"I told you to sit down," Jiang Shan frowned; Jiang Xuan gritted her teeth when she saw this, but still sat down.

The Prince of Wushan had dozens of children, all from different mothers... but she and Jiang Shan had the same mother, so their bond was naturally very deep.

On ordinary days, Jiang Shan didn't care if she was spoiled.

Once Jiang Shan became strict, Jiang Xuan didn't dare not to listen.

"Brother Xu Yuan, should we see him?" Jiang Shan looked at Xu Yuan and said: "If Brother Xu Yuan doesn't want to see him, I guarantee he won't be able to harass Brother Xu Yuan today."

The few people present all looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was about to speak.

"Xu Yuan, I know you are in His Highness Jiang Shan's elegant room, why don't you come out?" Leng Yan's voice sounded again: "What? You can snatch my spot directly, but you don't even dare to see me? Or is it that you don't have the strength to rank in the top ten of the Sky-Flying Ranking, so you don't dare to show your face?"

"This Leng Yan?" Jiang Shan frowned.

Leng Yan was the only son of the Huanzhen Marquis.

Those who could be enfeoffed as marquises among the non-royal gods were mostly peak Void Gods, not inferior to the royal family's prince-level experts.

Like the Yuan Nation's royal family's dozen or so gods, all were enfeoffed as marquises, and among them, three were enfeoffed as princes.

And among the thousands of Void Gods who followed the True God Jiang Yuan, there were only about a hundred marquises still alive today... each one's strength was very terrifying.

Although Jiang Shan's talent was high and he was a member of the royal family, his father, who could best protect him, was already dead.

The royal family had multiplied for over ten thousand years, spreading its branches and leaves, countless in number; unless they became Void Gods, the True God Jiang Yuan didn't care at all, and no one knew how many royal family members had died in the various struggles and killings within the Yuan Nation.

Therefore, from his heart, Jiang Shan didn't really want to offend Leng Yan; he had to consider the many members of the Wushan Prince's lineage.

It was just that in Jiang Shan's view, Leng Yan had gone too far today.

"His Highness Jiang Shan," Li Yuan smiled instead: "This Leng Yan is clearly looking for trouble with me; if I don't see him under your protection, it will only cause rumors to spread. At that time, I fear even the Void God Shaxi will be in a difficult position... please act as a witness and accompany me to see him."

"Very well," Jiang Shan nodded.

It was best that Li Yuan was willing to come forward himself.

"Brother Xu Yuan, I must kindly remind you," Yan Long said: "Since Leng Yan has come, I fear he is prepared to fight you. Although his tenth place on the Sky-Flying Ranking has some water in it... he can normally rank in the top twenty of the Sky-Flying Ranking. If you are not confident, it would be better to let His Highness Jiang Shan help you drive him away."

"Otherwise, if you lose later, it will be even more embarrassing," Yan Long shook his head.

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

Li Yuan smiled and ignored him, walking straight out of the elegant room.

Jiang Shan and Baili Teng looked at each other and also followed out of the elegant room.

Yan Long was annoyed when he saw no one paying attention to him: "Hmph, this Xu Yuan, still pretending at this time; if he really loses later, let's see how you continue to pretend."

"Yan Long, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Jiang Xuan, who was nearby, suddenly smiled: "If Brother Xu really spars with Leng Yan, I bet Brother Xu wins; how about fifty square divine crystals?"

"Fifty square divine crystals?" Yan Long was stunned.

Although he was also a god's offspring, the Void God Yan Qing didn't only have him as a child.

So many divine crystals were not a small number for him either.

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, then shut up," Jiang Xuan sneered, turning around and following them out the door.

"Who says I don't dare? Bet is a bet!" Yan Long said angrily.

"It's a deal," Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Get your divine crystals ready."

Jiang Xuan had seen Li Yuan take action, so she was naturally full of confidence.

... Outside the elegant room.

"Jiang Shan is out."

"Baili Teng is there too; they are both prominent figures in the Royal Capital."

"Is that Sky-Flying level expert Xu Yuan?"

For a moment, in the top-floor hall of the Jueyin Tower, the hundreds of demigods all saw Xu Yuan, Jiang Shan, and the others walk out of the elegant room, all looking over curiously, wanting to see what the final result would be.

Leng Yan also saw Li Yuan at first glance, and his eyes lit up.

What he was most worried about was that Li Yuan wouldn't come out... then he wouldn't have a better way, he couldn't just break into Jiang Shan's elegant room.

"Xu Yuan, you finally decided to come out," Leng Yan said in a low voice: "I thought you were going to be a shrinking turtle forever."

"You are Leng Yan? Speak if you have something to say," Li Yuan said indifferently, not taking the other party seriously at all.

Li Yuan didn't want to offend people.

But that didn't mean he had to be pleasant when the other party killed their way to his face.

Even a clay figurine has a temper.

"Good! Truly arrogant enough," Leng Yan said in a low voice: "I came to find you, and I think you know the matter; the spot in the top ten of the Sky-Flying Ranking is something I killed for, match after match, in the Godfire Palace... you got it directly, so naturally, I am not convinced."

"Not convinced? Why not go find the Void God Shaxi? Why find me?" Li Yuan shook his head: "If there is nothing else, go back; I still have to go back and drink."

When Leng Yan saw this, he was even angrier in his heart.

"Xu Yuan!"

"It's not just me who is not convinced; others in the Godfire Palace are also not convinced, and I have come to challenge you," Leng Yan's eyes were cold: "If you have the ability, defeat us, and if you win, we will recognize you as the tenth on the Sky-Flying Ranking."

As he was speaking.

Whoosh! Along the passage of the Jueyin Tower, another purple-armored figure flew out, also at the Sky-Flying level.

"Ji Ming!"

"The current twelfth on the Sky-Flying Ranking, Ji Ming."

"He actually came too?" Many people present recognized the newcomer, and immediately understood a lot.

Before Li Yuan arrived, Ji Ming was eleventh on the Sky-Flying Ranking, and his true strength was actually quite a bit stronger than Leng Yan's.

He was the one who was actually tenth on the Sky-Flying Ranking before.

And the fact that he gave his spot to Leng Yan was enough to prove the special relationship between the two; in a sense, Ji Ming had secretly received many benefits from the Huanzhen Marquis.

"Xu Yuan, do you dare to accept my challenge?" Ji Ming said loudly, his fighting spirit astonishing.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

"You say challenge, so I must challenge?" Li Yuan shook his head: "You really want to challenge me? Fine, then bet five hundred square divine crystals; if you dare to bet, I will accept the challenge."

Silence!

The entire hall went quiet, and the hundreds of demigods present were all somewhat shocked.

Five hundred square divine crystals?

One must know, the total net worth of a normal demigod was only ten to twenty square divine crystals.

With Yan Long's strength and status, he felt pained just betting fifty square divine crystals.

Five hundred square divine crystals?

Among the hundreds of demigods present, except for the very top few, no one could take out so many divine crystals in one go.

Ji Ming's expression also changed.

Although he was a member of the Godfire Palace, he was currently only at the Sky-Flying level, and the wealth he possessed was equivalent to that of an ordinary demigod.

"Five hundred square divine crystals? Can you take out five hundred square divine crystals?" Leng Yan roared in a low voice.

"That is natural," Li Yuan said indifferently: "If you dare to bet and I cannot take it out, I will give the tenth place on the Sky-Flying Ranking to you... if you don't dare, then get lost as soon as possible!"

"Good!" Leng Yan's eyes were faintly red: "I will bet!"

Whoosh!

Leng Yan flipped his palm, and a fiery red crystal appeared in his palm, roaring in a low voice: "Owner of the Jueyin Tower, please come out; this is a life-saving item gifted to me by my mother, and it can kill a peak demigod expert. I will value it at one thousand square divine crystals, how about that?"

The hundreds of demigods present all looked at that fiery red crystal, and they all felt bursts of deadly threats.

A peak demigod expert? Among the hundreds of demigods present, those who could reach this level could be counted on one hand.

Whoosh!

A streak of light flashed through the void; it was the person in charge of the Jueyin Tower, who had arrived in purple clothes upon hearing the news.

"Young Master Leng Yan, this treasure can indeed be valued at one thousand divine crystals, but are you sure you want to..." the person in charge of the Jueyin Tower couldn't help but say.

"Confirmed," Leng Yan said in a low voice: "If I lose, the Jiuyin Tower will exchange it for divine crystals."

"Xu Yuan, it's your turn," Leng Yan stared at Xu Yuan.

"No problem," Li Yuan nodded, and with a wave of his hand, divine crystals piled up like a small mountain appeared in the center of the hall.

The demigods present scanned with their spiritual sense and confirmed it was correct.

It was five hundred square divine crystals.

For a time, many demigods' breathing became rapid; it was truly somewhat shocking.

It was the first time many of them had seen so many divine crystals gathered together.

"This Xu Yuan actually has so much wealth?" Yan Long felt even more uncomfortable in his heart: "A Sky-Flying level expert, possessing more wealth than me?"

Even Jiang Shan and Baili Teng looked slightly surprised.

The two of them could naturally take out so many divine crystals... but Li Yuan, a Sky-Flying level expert, had such astonishing wealth?

They immediately realized that Xu Yuan's background and origin were likely even more astonishing than they had imagined.

"He can really take it out?" Leng Yan's heart also sank; even he couldn't take out so many square divine crystals.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand to put away the five hundred square divine crystals, saying indifferently: "Trouble the Jueyin Tower owner to open the gambling space."

"Young Master Leng Yan, are you sure?" The purple-clad woman looked at Leng Yan.

"Confirmed," Leng Yan gritted his teeth; he felt something was wrong, but he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

Quickly.

The purple-clad woman had Li Yuan and Leng Yan each sign a 'gambling contract'.

Clearly, such things happened often in the Jiuyin Tower.

Killing was prohibited in the Yuan Nation's Royal Capital, but fighting and killing were still allowed in some large restaurants and some god's mansions.

Rumble~

The purple-clad woman activated the source power array, and the lake in the center of this hall quickly dissipated, rising to reveal a dueling ring about a hundred meters wide and long.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan took a step and flew into the ring, his figure quickly shrinking.

At the same time, in his vision, the ring quickly grew larger, becoming a ring about three kilometers in diameter. This ring utilized spatial mysteries.

It had the same effect as the 'Hundred-Battle Ring' in the Ancient God Palace.

"Leng Yan," Ji Ming couldn't help but look at Leng Yan; the bet was too big, making him feel uneasy in his heart.

If he lost, he couldn't afford to pay.

"Gambling battles cannot use external items, his strength is definitely not as good as yours," Leng Yan transmitted: "As long as you defeat him, the five hundred square divine crystals you win will all belong to you."

"If you lose, as long as you go all out... I won't blame you either."

Ji Ming's eyes turned red; an opportunity to win five hundred square divine crystals?

"Good, I will definitely go all out to defeat him," Ji Ming said in a low voice.

Whoosh!

Ji Ming flew into the ring.

He had just landed.

An invisible force swept over immediately, and then, a layer of hazy light appeared on both Li Yuan and Ji Ming.

!.

It was the array force shrouding the ring.

"I will repeat the battle rules," the purple-clad woman was a peak demigod expert, saying in a low voice: "No external items are allowed, and you cannot harm lives; there will be a protective light shield on your surface... once the power contained in the protective light shield is exhausted, you will be declared defeated."

"Begin!"

The purple-clad woman flashed and flew out of the ring's range.

And the hundreds of demigods present all stared at the ring, wanting to see the outcome of this battle.

Inside the ring.

"Boom!" Ji Ming's aura erupted suddenly, and he had instantly activated his body-refining star technique, his body instantly turning ten meters tall, his aura so powerful it was close to the demigod level.

"Kill!"

Ji Ming held a battle blade, rushing toward Li Yuan like a bolt of lightning; a dazzling blade light swept across the sky, instantly triggering surging law fluctuations, killing its way to Li Yuan's front.

Although he was only a Six-Star Pulse expert, being able to rank in the top ten of the Sky-Flying Ranking in the Godfire Palace meant he had also stepped into the threshold of laws.

In terms of true strength, he had absolutely reached the demigod level.

Even when facing Fang Hai at the Sky-Flying level, he had the strength to fight... it was a pity that the one he was facing was Li Yuan.

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan took a step, his body also turning ten meters tall, his life aura far more vigorous and violent; this was still the result of him deliberately restraining it.

The next second.

Li Yuan's palm lifted slightly, as if pressing into the void.

And streams of earthy yellow air were born out of thin air, and immediately condensed into a huge palm of air in the void.

"Suppress!" Li Yuan pressed his palm down gently, and the giant palm in the void also erupted suddenly, slapping toward Ji Ming.

"Not good."

Ji Ming only felt the entire world changing crazily, and that terrifying giant palm contained an unrivaled momentum, crushing over layer by layer, directly crushing the blade light he had slashed out into pieces.

Following that, it slapped onto his battle blade, sending the battle blade flying.

Finally, the giant palm slapped directly onto his body, causing the hazy light on his body's surface to shatter with a boom.

"Pfft~" Ji Ming flew backward, blood spraying wildly from his mouth, his eyes full of terror.

One encounter.

Not only was the ring's array protection broken, but he was also beaten into serious injury.

The two sides were simply not on the same level.

"Too weak," Li Yuan shook his head; he hadn't even fully revealed the power of his Heaven-Earth River domain.

He had originally wanted to keep a low profile.

But since the other party was aggressive, he would reveal one percent of his strength.

In this way, he could also deter all parties and save himself a lot of trouble.

"What?"

"Ji Ming was defeated in one encounter? How is that possible!"

"Ji Ming is at least at the demigod level of combat power."

"That palm of his is likely close to the peak demigod level; why do I feel this isn't his full strength?"

"A Sky-Flying level expert can erupt with such strength?"

"A monster! Has our Yuan Nation given birth to another peerless monster?" The hundreds of demigods watching the battle were all stunned.

If a Sky-Flying level expert could erupt with demigod threshold strength, it was already incomparable; it was hard for one to appear among a million Sky-Flying experts.

If they could erupt with strength close to the mid-demigod level, it was almost legendary among Sky-Flying level experts; the first place on the Yuan Nation's Sky-Flying Ranking throughout the ages was usually at this level.

Like Li Yuan? One slap, and it was close to peak demigod strength? In the Yuan Nation's ten-thousand-year history, it had never been born.

"Brother Xu Yuan."

"Impressive!" Jiang Shan and Baili Teng walked up, and there was a look of shock in their eyes.

Even the two of them, when they were at the Sky-Flying level, had ranked first on the Sky-Flying Ranking, and their strength hadn't been this impressive.

"This! This Xu Yuan is actually this impressive?" Yan Long was also dumbfounded: "Such a person, I mocked him just now, and he didn't refute?"

"Yan Long, are you convinced?" Jiang Xuan transmitted.

"Convinced! Convinced," Yan Long shook his head repeatedly: "He is even more monstrous than Jiang Shan, how could I not be convinced?"

Just now, he still looked down on Li Yuan in his heart.

But now he understood that with Li Yuan's strength, he could easily take first place on the Sky-Flying Ranking.

"Remember to give me the fifty square divine crystals, don't try to welch," Jiang Xuan transmitted.

Yan Long's expression immediately became ugly.

The protection on Ji Ming's body surface was broken, which meant the end of the battle.

Above the ring.

"Young Master Xu Yuan wins," the purple-clad woman said directly, her voice full of respect.

If just now, she was only calling Li Yuan 'Young Master Xu Yuan' out of professional habit, then now it was from the bottom of her heart.

As a peak demigod expert, she knew very well what kind of monster it was for a Sky-Flying level expert to be able to erupt with this kind of strength.

Such a genius.

I fear his law comprehension is already close to the demigod limit; continuing to cultivate, becoming a Void God in the future will be effortless... as long as he lives, he has a great hope of becoming a True God.

A True God, looking at the entire Juexing Continent, belongs to the super-powerful experts in the true sense.

Even in the Ancient Juexing City, True God experts belong to the high echelon.

It could be said.

Predictably, as long as Li Yuan lives, he will become one of the highest echelons within the Yuan Nation in the future.

"Splash~" The array suppression shrouding the ring dissipated, and Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and flew out.

Following that, Ji Ming also flew out of the ring quite miserably; he came to Leng Yan's side and lowered his head without a word.

"Young Master Leng Yan, please fulfill the contract according to the gambling agreement," the purple-clad girl said loudly.

Immediately.

The hundreds of demigods present all looked at Leng Yan, whose expression was changing.

Before coming, the Huanzhen Marquis's task for him was to find a way to defeat Li Yuan once in public.

Only by defeating Li Yuan in public could the Huanzhen Marquis use this as an excuse to go find the Void God Shaxi or even the Nation Lord.

Therefore, as soon as Leng Yan got the news that Li Yuan had left the Godfire Palace, he rushed over immediately.

It was just that Leng Yan never expected Li Yuan's strength to be so terrifying.

"Bastard!"

"With such strength, wouldn't it be enough to just become first on the Sky-Flying Ranking? Why rank tenth?" Leng Yan felt bitter in his heart; he knew the trouble was big.

Not only was the spot for the Ancient Juexing City definitely lost.

But he had also made such a big enemy.

If the other party held a grudge, after a few hundred years, when the other party grew up... I fear even his mother would be in trouble.

Many thoughts flashed through Leng Yan's mind, but his face was full of shame: "Brother Xu Yuan, I was wrong; for a Sky-Flying level expert to possess such strength is simply unbelievable."

"With your strength, ranking tenth on the Sky-Flying Ranking is too low-key; you should completely rank first on the Sky-Flying Ranking. Such strength truly makes me admire you immensely; I am convinced by my loss."

"The gambling battle just now was for five hundred square divine crystals."

"But the extra value of this treasure will be my apology; I hope you won't take it to heart," Leng Yan said with an admiring look: "Later, I will definitely host another banquet to apologize."

Li Yuan looked at the other party quite surprised.

What a Leng Yan.

What a son of the Huanzhen Marquis!

Just now he was clamoring, but in the blink of an eye, seeing him reveal his astonishing strength, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake extremely decisively, and even took the initiative to offer an apology gift.

This temperament and forbearance were truly extraordinary.

"No need to apologize, you weren't wrong either; I indeed didn't reveal my strength before, and it was indeed inappropriate to get the spot," Li Yuan shook his head, while decisively putting away the fiery red crystal.

Since the other party was giving a gift, Li Yuan wouldn't be polite.

"Haha, that is appropriate," Leng Yan smiled: "Brother Xu Yuan is much more suitable than me; this trip to the Ancient Juexing City will definitely be a success, achieving a fine story."

"Very well."

"Then Brother Xu Yuan, continue drinking; I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first," Leng Yan bowed and smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he quickly led his subordinates away along the passage.

From beginning to end, although the other hundreds of demigods were all paying attention, no one interrupted.

Although they were demigods.

But whether it was the Leng Yan with a powerful background or the Li Yuan with super-transcendent talent... neither was someone they could compare to.

"A treasure worth a thousand square divine crystals, given away just like that," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Truly impressive."

Since the other party expressed goodwill, Li Yuan didn't mind accepting it.

In the end, he and the Huanzhen Marquis's lineage had no life-and-death grudge, so there was no need to let a peak Void God expert hold a grudge.

"Brother Xu," Jiang Xuan walked up excitedly.

"Brother Xu Yuan, impressive."

Yan Long stepped forward, full of smiles: "I was blind just now, I hope you will forgive me; later I will punish myself with three cups of wine."

Although it was just some verbal exchange, he was indeed worried that Li Yuan would hold a grudge.

That would be a big trouble.

"Haha, Brother Yan Long, don't worry, I didn't take it to heart," Li Yuan smiled.

"Brother Xu Yuan, after today's battle, I fear your name will soon spread throughout the Yuan Nation's Royal Capital," Baili Teng teased: "Jiang Shan, your name as the number one genius of the divine nation, I fear it won't be kept."

"Compared to Brother Xu Yuan, my talent is just average," Jiang Shan shook his head with emotion: "Looking at the countless Sky-Flying experts on the entire Juexing Continent, Brother Xu Yuan is probably among the very top."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Among the very top?

If they knew he had only revealed one percent of his strength, I fear they would be even more dumbfounded.

Just as the True God Jiang Yuan said, looking at the Sky-Flying level of the continent, he should be able to compete for first place.

However, Li Yuan understood that revealing such talent was enough.

Being too monstrous might not necessarily be a good thing.

"It's a pity," Jiang Shan suddenly shook his head with emotion: "If Brother Xu Yuan had been born fifty years earlier, I fear he would have had the hope of impacting the Battle of the Ancestral Realm; now it feels a bit late."
