Chapter 193: Watching from the Heavens

Outside the realm, Meiying was hopping mad, shouting: "How arrogant this junior is! I'll go give him a lesson!"

The Great Shaman beside her said coldly: "I advise you not to."

"Are we just going to watch this junior spout such wild words?"

"If you go, then they will no longer be just wild words."

Meiying was furious: "Do you think that I..."

Before she could finish, the Great Shaman said: "That's right!"

Meiying was speechless for a moment. After a pause, she said: "Fine, even if I'm not enough, surely you, Lord Yanlong, going out yourself would be no problem?"

Yanlong said calmly: "It would be easy enough outside the realm, but now that it is his home turf, I have no certainty of success."

Meiying was shocked; she had not expected Yanlong to rate Wei Yuan so highly.

Yanlong was a standout among all the Great Shamans of the Shaman tribe, viewed as someone with the potential to become a Heavenly Shaman. Now, with a major realm difference, he actually felt he had no certainty? Meiying could not understand it; it was just the advantage of home turf, how much of a boost could it really provide?

Yanlong added: "Besides, even if I wanted to try, I'm afraid I can't. Someone has invited me to play chess."

Meiying suddenly felt the surrounding temperature soar, as if she were inside a furnace; it was indescribably uncomfortable. Flames suddenly ignited on her outer robe. Meiying was startled, and she spread her magic power to protect her whole body, only then extinguishing the flames.

At this moment, the surrounding space was filled with an extremely scorching Dao power. This Dao power was incredibly overbearing; it had actually managed to ignite even Meiying's magic-treasure-grade outer robe.

She turned around abruptly and saw an old Daoist standing behind her, smiling with particular warmth and kindness.

He stroked his beard and said: "This poor Daoist is Fenhai. I have long heard that Great Shaman Yanlong's magic power reaches the heavens and that you have unique insights into the Dao of heaven and earth. Since we have met today, how about we play a game of hand-talk?"

Yanlong said: "Are those your disciples and grand-disciples inside?"

Fenhai said candidly: "Indeed they are. Young people, you know, they love to speak the truth, and sometimes it is inevitably unpleasant to hear. If you two have nothing better to do, you might as well accompany this old Daoist for a game of chess to see our understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth. If you two insist on making a move, this old Daoist can also accompany you. It is just that there are quite a few of my human race present today, so don't blame us for using numbers to bully the few."

Yanlong smiled and said: "You certainly have good luck. Fine, then let's play a game. Having me accompany you is enough." After speaking, he waved his robe, and both he and Fenhai vanished.

Meiying remained where she was, looking from afar at Wei Yuan on the high platform, and she felt like going over. But remembering Yanlong's words, she hesitated again and again, and in the end, she stayed where she was, not moving.

At this time, in the prison beneath the main peak, a beautiful woman appeared beside Tianyu. On her shoulders, several thin wings like flower petals unfolded, beautiful as a dreamlike bubble.

Tianyu looked in the direction of the battlefield, his face full of yearning, and said: "Heh! Is there any Great Shaman who dares to fight me... What spirit! Truly worthy of being the man who defeated me! If it were me standing there, and those words were mine, how good would that be?"

The woman said coldly: "Then I would have to collect your corpse. Stop dawdling, hurry and leave!"

Tianyu shook his head: "No, I cannot just leave like this. This man has such spirit; no matter what, I lost narrowly last time. To leave like this, wouldn't that be deserting the battle? I must negotiate the ransom with him and then leave with dignity. Only then will I have the face to challenge him again in the future, letting him become a stepping stone on my path to the heavens."

The woman said impatiently: "With that little ransom of yours, can't you just pay it yourself? If you leave a couple of your magic tools with him, could he possibly disagree?"

Tianyu sneered: "How could I, Tianyu, be so cheap?"

The woman was helpless: "Then how much do you think you are worth? Didn't you only enter the Power Shaman Ranking because several people were promoted to Great Shaman this year?"

Tianyu sneered with disdain: "That man, the condition he set is for the Shaman tribe to withdraw their army!"

The woman was stunned: "Is this person sick?"

Tianyu was displeased and said: "The human sage once said, a scholar dies for one who understands him! This person thinks so highly of me, how could I sneak away?"

The woman looked at him deeply and said: "You are also quite sick. Your sister paid a high price to ask me to save you, but I only promised her I would act once. If you don't come with me this time, there won't be another chance."

Tianyu said firmly: "I am not leaving." A thin ray of light suddenly shot from the woman's eyes, landing on Tianyu.

"What did you do to me?"

"Nothing, just looking at your fate for the next few days. I will ask you one more time, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, you will regret it."

Tianyu shook his head.

The woman waved her hand, and all the magic chains binding Tianyu shattered, then she said: "Now you decide for yourself whether to leave or not. I am going to snatch the boundary stone."

High in the sky, on a wisp of cloud, two old men were playing chess. Both were placing their pieces very quickly, and one of them was already at a disadvantage.

The old man with the advantage stroked his beard and smiled: "Brother Wang, your family has another Qilin child; this is a great thing, so it is only natural that I should lose at chess."

On the battlefield below, Wang Yu's eyes were tightly closed, and blood tears kept streaming from the corners of his eyes. But as if he had a heavenly eye, the long spear in his hand was already so fast it was invisible. The Dao power on the spear was extremely condensed, protruding no more than a finger's breadth from the spear tip. His spear strikes were also extremely simple—just a simple thrust and withdrawal. Every time he thrust the spear, there was a dead soul beneath it; his spear technique already had a shadow of the Great Dao being simple.

Regardless of Wang Yu's Dao foundation, this spear technique and control over Dao power alone far exceeded that of ordinary aristocratic family disciples; even a human-rank Dao foundation would be highly valued.

The old man who was losing the game had an ugly expression and said coldly: "Isn't that one from your Cui family even better? Otherwise, why would it trouble you, old man, to watch from the heavens?"

The old man who was winning smiled happily: "Cui Yu, this child, truly has a touch of returning to simplicity. In the future, he might even have a glimmer of hope of becoming a True Lord, and he is also a good hand at leading armies and governing cities. It is only right that I come to look after him; such a good child, after all, cannot really be lost here."

!.

On the battlefield below, a great sun suddenly rose slowly, and the sun was entwined with beams of bright saber light, slaughtering all the Shaman tribe members who approached.

Cui Yu held an immortal sword and led 1,500 cultivators with Dao foundation combat power to cut fiercely into the main Shaman army from the side, the spearhead pointing directly at the high platform. Both the point of entry and the timing were impeccable.

In the team were also two great experts, Xiaoyu and Feng Tingyu; the Shaman tribe's Dao foundation powerhouses simply could not stop the two of them working together. 1,500 cultivators with Dao foundation combat power were terrifying; in the blink of an eye, they slaughtered the Shaman tribe in swathes.

However, although the Shaman tribe's main general fled into his personal guard, the army did not collapse as Wei Yuan had expected. Five Shaman tribe captains suddenly saw their momentum rise, their cultivation bases climbing step by step, and different military flags were erected beside them. In the blink of an eye, ten military flags were erected in the front and rear armies, and then one of the military flags was exceptionally tall, taking over the command authority.

This Shaman tribe unit was originally like one body, and now it had split into ten units, still acting as one body, just with a different main general. The process of changing generals was as smooth as flowing water; if Wei Yuan were not standing on the high platform, he would have thought the main general had never changed.

Although the Shaman tribe was strong, the human race was not weak either. Cui Yu commanded with certainty, directing the army to strangle the Shaman tribe in an orderly fashion, already possessing the demeanor of a great general.

The old man from the Wang family said: "Xiaoyu, this child, is also very outstanding. Could it be that the Xiao family didn't send anyone?"

A palace-dressed woman as cold as frost appeared and said calmly: "You have long known I was coming, why bother saying such things?"

The old man from the Cui family stroked his beard and smiled: "We old friends haven't seen each other for many years; I didn't expect we could gather so completely here. The Bao family is also an old acquaintance, but that fellow doesn't like crowds and is watching from the heavens himself, so we won't bother with him. However, why did the Xu family and Li family also send people?"

A middle-aged man stepped slowly out of the void and said calmly: "I heard that a child qualified to match Yi'er appeared here, so I came to take a look. As for why Brother Li came, I do not know."

The old man from the Cui family nodded and said: "Wei Yuan? That child already has the demeanor of a great general, but Xu Yi already has the feeling of being reborn; the two are indeed a three-tenths match."

The palace-dressed woman suddenly said: "Could that brat have anticipated we were here and deliberately let the children encounter danger, then lure us into acting?"

Everyone's expression froze as they looked down together.

At this time, Wei Yuan had already fallen into a bitter battle, but he still managed to free up his hands to bless Xiaoyu, Cui Yu, and Feng Tingyu with Qi luck, and then supplemented the sixteen aristocratic family young masters and misses with another dose of Qi luck.

It was during this moment of distraction that Wei Yuan was slashed twice, and the wounds were unable to close on their own for a time.

Someone said with emotion: "If this old man is not mistaken, what Wei Yuan just distributed was Qi luck?"
