Chapter 425: line with translation of chapter title

"Valley Master, have you considered it clearly?"

Ye Huanhuan narrowed her eyes, a warning hidden in the depths of her gaze.

Although Yaowang Valley is mysterious, its foundation is far inferior to that of Nan Yin Zhou's Yunfu.

If Yaowang Valley truly offended Nan Yin Zhou's Yunfu, it would definitely not get away with it.

"It's just Nan Yin Zhou's Yunfu; no need to consider."

Ye Qingran smiled faintly and said.

Ye Huanhuan's expression changed.

Is this Medicine King Gu Gu Master truly confident, or just blindly arrogant?

She couldn't tell for a moment.

Just then, a mocking voice came over.

"Medicine King Gu Gu Master, what a big mouth!"

Along with the words came a white-clad figure.

This person had handsome features, a graceful bearing, and lightly shook a folding fan, possessing exquisite beauty and unrestrained charm.

He was none other than the Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall, Xu Kong Gongzi.

Behind Xu Kong Gongzi followed about a dozen handsome men and beautiful women, all in flowing white robes, resembling immortals.

After Xu Kong Gongzi stood firm, he sized up Ye Qingran from a distance.

Rumors about Medicine King Gu Gu Master could be heard everywhere, even in Western Extremity Shengyu.

However, he always thought highly of himself; that so-called Medicine King Gu Gu Master was nothing but exaggerated legend.

After all, no matter how powerful Yaowang Valley is, it's ultimately just a faction in the Central Region.

The Central Region itself is the weakest of the five great realms of the Profound Void, and even falls short of the barbaric lands of the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

How strong can Yaowang Valley possibly get?

It's merely that the people of the Central Region, having never seen the world, have exaggerated Yaowang Valley to be unmatched under heaven.

As he would say, Medicine King Gu Gu Master is nothing special!

Upon seeing the Holy Envoy descend, everyone showed reverence.

People have an instinctive awe of Wuji Hall.

After all, Wuji Hall is the orthodox lineage of all cultivators under heaven.

Ye Huanhuan's eyes lit up upon seeing Xu Kong Gongzi.

The princess had told her that the Holy Maiden of Wuji Hall was her friend, and her people would lend her aid.

Therefore, this Xu Kong Gongzi from Western Extremity Shengyu is evidently her ally.

"Who are you?" Ye Qingran asked lightly.

"Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall, Xu Kong Gongzi."

Xu Kong Gongzi slightly raised his chin, exuding arrogance.

The Holy Envoy's status commands reverence wherever he goes.

Even in Nan Yin Zhou and Beimingzhou, the leaders of many major powers greet him with utmost respect.

Thus, the Valley Master of Yaowang Valley will surely do the same.

Xu Kong Gongzi naturally thought so.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingran snorted, "Turns out it's just a mere Holy Envoy."

"A mere Holy Envoy?"

Xu Kong Gongzi's hand movement stalled, and his face gradually darkened.

What does that mean? Looking down on his esteemed Holy Envoy?

"Valley Master, with such confidence, your strength must be exceptional; may I ask for some advice?"

He had only heard that Medicine King Gu Gu Master was a renowned Ghost Doctor, with superb medical skills, but had never heard of any accomplishments in cultivation.

If today, in front of so many people, he could defeat Medicine King Gu Gu Master, it would not only humiliate him but also surely elevate Xu Kong Gongzi's reputation.

Everyone was startled.

The Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall—is he picking a fight with the Valley Master of Yaowang Valley?

"No." Ye Qingran lightly shook her head.

Xu Kong Gongzi first froze, then gave a cold smile, the curl of his lips filled with contempt.

"I thought Medicine King Gu Gu Master was someone remarkable, but he turns out to be as timid as a mouse."

Such a quick refusal only shows that this so-called Medicine King Gu Gu Master lacks confidence, doesn't it?

As expected, the rumors are unreliable.

"Valley Master doesn't even have the courage to spar with me—where does he get the confidence to slight Nan Yin Zhou's Yunfu?"

Xu Kong Gongzi asked sharply.

"If the Valley Master refuses, then today you'll likely just watch helplessly as Ye Qingran meets her end in the street."

Everyone's hearts pounded, feeling the atmosphere overly oppressive.

Although Xu Kong Gongzi's words were weighty and he seemed to have the upper hand, Medicine King Gu Gu Master remained unmoved, possessing the aura of a mountain unshaken even as it collapses before him.

"Pfft~"

A snicker leaked from beneath the silver mask.

Xu Kong Gongzi's brows knitted.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Xu Kong Gongzi, could it be that you've misunderstood something?"

What did he misunderstand?

"What do you mean?"

Ye Qingran lightly shook her head, rather helplessly, "Does Xu Kong Gongzi think that Valley Master refuses your duel because he's afraid?"

"Isn't that so?"

"If Xu Kong Gongzi thinks that, then he's completely wrong." Ye Qingran paused, then said: "The reason I refuse is because Valley Master feels that Xu Kong Gongzi's strength is feeble and not yet qualified."

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but stare.

Medicine King Gu Gu Master refuses to duel Xu Kong Gongzi because he despises Xu Kong Gongzi as too weak?

This...

Xu Kong Gongzi was practically laughing in anger.

His strength is weak?

Not qualified?

Good, very good!

"Valley Master, could it be that you have some misunderstanding about me?"

As he spoke, Xu Kong Gongzi sank his breath, and the aura of a Profound Venerable spread out, enveloping this heaven and earth, pressing everyone so they could barely breathe.

"Profound Venerable cultivation!"

"So strong!"

"At such a young age to possess Profound Venerable cultivation, no wonder he's a Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.

You know, Profound Venerable cultivation is top-notch. In the vast Central Region, there are hardly any.

Xu Kong Gongzi looks to be only about twenty years old; to have such an achievement is undoubtedly a peerless genius.

Hearing the surrounding voices, Xu Kong Gongzi couldn't help but show a proud expression. Although he isn't the most outstanding among the Ten Holy Envoys, being able to become a Holy Envoy itself says everything.

He instead wanted to see Valley Master's reaction upon learning his strength.

Who would have thought...

"Grain of Light, dare to show off?"

Ye Qingran merely glanced at him, then turned her gaze away, and lightly said that sentence.

Grain of Light?

A Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall, a Profound Venerable–level expert, before him, is merely a Grain of Light?

Hiss~

It must be said, Ye Qingran's words shocked everyone.

Xu Kong Gongzi's brows knit tightly, his heart filled with both anger and surprise.

"Then let me see your strength!"

"Then you better watch carefully!"
