Chapter 109: The Troublemaking Young Brother, Ye Shenghan

After resting for about two days, the three of them set off together.

"Goodbye, Aunt (Aunt Huang)!" x3

"Goodbye, be careful!" Yi Huang smiled and exhorted the three of them. Only after she came to her senses did she feel astonished to discover that her mindset seemed to have aged, as she was actually nagging the juniors like an old woman.

On the other side, after a long and tedious journey, Xiao Wu and the other two finally arrived at the simple, grand, and historically profound city in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains—Ancient Saint City.

Feeling the faint pressure emanating from that towering city in the distance, even Xiao Wu, a rather restless fellow, subconsciously lowered his posture.

"Damn, this Ancient Saint City is truly worthy of being the connection point between the Ancient Realm and the outside world; it really lives up to its reputation!" Passing through the transparent barrier outside Ancient Saint City, Xiao Wu observed the city, which looked dilapidated yet was filled with an ancient aura, and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Mm." Ye Shenghan also nodded, agreeing with Xiao Wu's assessment, while Xin'er, the little tail behind the two, opened her curious big eyes and looked around.

"The strength of the guests here is quite impressive!" Feeling the auras emanating from the many invited guests passing by, Ye Shenghan was somewhat surprised; such experts were rarely seen in the outside world!

"Eh, isn't that normal? After all, they are the Ancient Clan." Xiao Wu accepted it quite well. How could the forces invited by such a formidable Ancient Race as the Ancient Clan be considered ordinary?

The Central Plains was a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers resided; it was not incomprehensible that these relatively reclusive experts existed.

"That's true." Ye Shenghan also nodded in agreement.

However, just as they were feeling surprised by these experts, others were also looking at the three of them in shock.

"How is it possible? These little fellows' strength is suspiciously strong!" one expert said in astonishment.

"Indeed, could they be disciples from other Ancient Races?" another person asked curiously.

"How could that be? Every Ancient Race has its own insignia; how could they be so casual?" The dissenter pointed to the three little ones' vastly different attire.

"..."

For a moment, the scene began to buzz with discussion surrounding Ye Shenghan and the other two.

It wasn't that they were ignorant, but that Xiao Wu and his companions were simply too young. In terms of strength, although the three were strong, they hadn't reached a level that would make people gasp; there were more than ten people present who were stronger than them.

But if this were combined with their age, it was enough to show how terrifying the other party was.

Everyone had a discerning eye; one could tell at a glance the difference between an old monster pretending to be young and someone truly young, and Xiao Wu and his companions were clearly the latter.

However, among those present who possessed their level of strength, which one wasn't an old senior in the cultivation world? Even those who looked middle-aged were considered young, and there were quite a few who already had long beards.

And these three...

Everyone shook their heads helplessly and remained silent; comparing oneself to others only leads to frustration!

At this moment, someone recognized the identities of Ye Shenghan and the others and said with slight surprise: "Aren't they the successors of those high-level figures from Langya Pavilion?"

Once these words were thrown out, the crowd was immediately in an uproar.

"Langya Pavilion?"

"So that's how it is."

It must be said that even while maintaining a low profile, the reputation of Langya Pavilion was still very substantial.

It was truly because their record of destroying the Tianming Sect over a decade ago was too brilliant; although there had been no major movements since then, that influence still existed.

After the news of Xiao Han becoming a Saint spread, many forces began to conduct detailed investigations into Langya Pavilion, and some even had their simpler children buy intelligence from Tianji Tower.

Finally, combined with the strength exposed during the blitzkrieg on the Tianming Sect back then, they had a very profound impression of the former—powerful.

At the very least, it was not something their own forces could compare to.

And the three from Langya Pavilion, including Xiao Han, were all seen as existences with extraordinary talent by everyone. But that belonged to the previous generation; yet the appearance of Xiao Wu and the others...

"Langya Pavilion has worthy successors!" one of the experts sighed endlessly.

Although Xin'er belonged to Sound Valley, Ye Shenghan and Xiao Wu were both pure Langya Pavilion Disciples, and either one could become a pillar capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities; this had to be said to be the good fortune of Langya Pavilion.

However, these were situations that occurred in a very short time, and no one paid them too much attention; the main business today was entering the city.

"Brother Ye, who do you think is stronger, the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army or our Langya Guard?" Looking at the Black Annihilation Army at the city gate, whose auras were powerful and long-lasting, whose appearance was solemn and orderly, and who exuded a fierce air, Xiao Wu, who was honestly waiting in line, couldn't help but ask this question.

"The overall strength is definitely stronger with the Black Annihilation Army." Ye Shenghan was quite knowledgeable about the gap between the two, after all, the controller and Commander of the Langya Guard was his father, Ye Jianxin.

The Black Annihilation Army was, after all, the signature legion of the Ancient Clan; how could the Langya Guard compare to it? Just in terms of numbers alone, the difference was worlds apart.

However...

"But in a battle between the same rank, the Langya Guard will not lose," Ye Shenghan said with full confidence.

The selection and training of the Langya Guard were extremely rigorous, and the resources invested were massive; to say that everyone was a veteran of a hundred battles would be an insult to them. In a situation of same-rank combat, Ye Shenghan did not believe the Langya Guard would be inferior to others.

It was understandable for Ye Shenghan to think so, but as luck would have it, a Black Annihilation Army Commander heard these seemingly arrogant words and was quite disdainful.

"Hmph, to actually dare to say that they can fight the Black Annihilation Army at the same rank without being defeated; they are simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth." The three heard the cold snort coming from behind them.

Turning around, they saw a figure clad in silver armor glaring at them, and behind him were dozens of Black Annihilation Army soldiers with unfriendly expressions.

"Oh no!" Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat; discussing others behind their backs and getting caught red-handed—things were not going to be easy to handle now!

"May I ask how to address you?" But Ye Shenghan did not have this realization; instead, he asked coldly.

"Are you provoking my Black Annihilation Army?" Ye Shenghan's tone, which was extremely easy to incite hatred, irritated this Warrior.

"No. I was just stating the truth..." Before Ye Shenghan could finish, he was covered by the mouth by a nervous Xiao Wu, "Big Brother, please don't say any more."

Xiao Wu was in agony in his heart, "I am having such a hard time."

Of the three who came, only Xiao Wu had better communication skills with others; as for the other two, one could only say...

Forget it!

"Sorry, this friend, my Senior Brother is like this by nature; he has this attitude toward everyone. Please don't take offense!" Xiao Wu apologized repeatedly to the person in front of him; going head-to-head with someone on their own turf was something even his teacher had never done.

"Hm?" The silver-armored man looked at Ye Shenghan, whose expression had never changed, and somewhat believed Xiao Wu's words in his heart; this guy seemed to be a deadpan.

But...

"What about his words? Can I assume that he looks down on my Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army?"

He would not just let Ye Shenghan and the others get away with it; he still remembered the latter's arrogant remarks.

"This..." Xiao Wu was in a difficult position; in public, it was not easy for him to agree with Ye Shenghan's words—wasn't that slapping the other party's face?

But to ask him to lower his head to others was absolutely impossible, so he was conflicted. The crowd waiting in line to enter the city also noticed the anomaly here, and curious eyes were cast over.

As it turned out... a spoiler had arrived.

"I want to have a fight with you." Xiao Wu was about to go crazy; big brother, are you messing with me? He looked at the outspoken Ye Shenghan with a face full of resentment, while simultaneously punching himself in the heart a few times—why did he let go of his hand!

At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Yin Xin: "Senior Sister, why didn't you stop him?"

Yin Xin smiled without a word, leaving Xiao Wu feeling helpless.

"Oh?" The silver-armored man stared fixedly at Ye Shenghan; his height, being slightly taller, gave the former a great sense of oppression, yet Ye Shenghan still stared back at him with an expressionless face.

Just as Xiao Wu was trembling with fear, thinking they were about to fight on the spot, the silver-armored man spoke: "Good lad, you are the first outsider to dare challenge me; I accept."

"Remember my name, Gu Yue. Go into the city and wait!"

Although he was very angry, Gu Yue had not forgotten his primary duty; the other party was a guest, and as a member of the Ancient Clan, he had to treat them with courtesy.

Whatever grievances there were, they could be settled on the arena; when the time came, he would definitely make this arrogant fellow experience the might of the Black Annihilation Army.

After saying this, Gu Yue left in a menacing manner.

"Ye Shenghan, do you have to be so impulsive?" Xiao Wu angrily sent a voice transmission to the poker-faced man, even changing how he addressed him.

Didn't Master's wife say he was steady? Steady my foot! Now it was great; he had offended someone the moment they arrived. How were they supposed to get by for the next few days?

"I did it on purpose." Ye Shenghan glanced at the seething Xiao Wu and said in an indifferent tone.

Hm?

"How so?" Xiao Wu was curious; so this guy, who had no sense of the situation today, was just pretending to be blind!

"This is the fastest way to challenge the strong."

"Heh~" Xiao Wu was speechless; this speed was indeed fast. First offend someone, then provoke them—wasn't it very easy to end up in a fight with others?

"You win. I will never go out with you again." Seeing that the line was about to reach them, Xiao Wu cut off the conversation.

"This brother, could you please not look at me with that kind of gaze?" Xiao Wu, being stared at by a member of the Black Annihilation Army with a look that could eat him alive, felt a bit of trepidation in his heart and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"Hmph." Fortunately, no incident broke out, and they entered the city without further danger.

"Whew~"

Following the Black Annihilation Army guide, the three of them arrived at their lodging. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Wu let out a long sigh of relief; it had finally quieted down.

Enduring so many deadly glares, heaven knows how uncomfortable he had been. As it turned out...

He glanced at the two people sitting quietly—they were completely unconcerned—what exactly did I do wrong?

Subsequently...

"Now, we invite our Black Annihilation Army Third Commander Gu Yue and Langya Pavilion's Ye Shenghan to the arena for a spar."

Xiao Wu listened in despair to the announcement from the host below.
