Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Night Owl was also astonished.

He couldnt sit still after Jun Linyuan turned things around.

Although he Imew deep down that Jun Linyuan was never going to lose, Night Owl was still so angry that he almost jumped off his chair.

Just when Sakiya thought he was going to explode, Night Owl took a deep breath and let out a breath of relief. Only then did he calm down.

Seeing Night Owl like this, Sakiya nodded. As long as the crown prince could stay calm, there was still hope.

Sir, I was so wise that I sent Xiao ahead of time. Night Owl played with the fruit in his hand and smiled at Sakiya.

Sakiya didnt say anything.

Master, are you disappointed in me? Night Owl stared at him.

Sakiya narrowed his eyes and looked at the crown prince, whom he had brought up.

Night Owl snickered. Master, have you fantasized about having Jun Linyuan as your pupil so many times that you couldnt sleep at night?

Night Owl stared at Sakiya as he spoke.

Sakiya narrowed his eyes even more.

Night Owl laughed so hard that he was convulsed. He even clapped his hands. Master, I was only joking!

Sakiya stared at Night Owl and heaved a long sigh. He cupped his hands at Night Owl and left.

He was leaving just like that?!

Night Owls face darkened when he saw Sakiya leave. He smashed the table next to him after Sakiya was gone.

He just doesnt like me!

He just thinks that Jun Linyuan is better than me!

Is Jun Linyuan stronger than me? Hes going to die! How can he be better than me?!

Night Owl vented his frustration.

He chased everyone out of the room.

His heart-wrenching scream resonated in the s.p.a.cious room.

He whimpered like an injured beast.

To him, who was only one step away from Jun Linyuan, Jun Linyuans talent was unacceptable.

He had been dreaming about surpa.s.sing Jun Linyuan! Just then, a dark shadow appeared and asked a question.

Do you want to surpa.s.s Jun Linyuan?

Who could it be?!

Night Owl turned around involuntarily, but there was no one behind him.

A chill ran down his spine. Do you really want to surpa.s.s Jun Linyuan? The voice rang out again.

Whos there? Who are you? Come out!

Night Owl was on the alert. He kept spinning around, trying to find the person, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt find the person.

Tell me yes or no. The voice seemed to be giving Night Owl a chance to make a choice.

Night Owl froze on the spot.

As the voice rang out, a terrifying power seemed to restrain him. Night Owl realized that he couldnt even move a finger. Why was this happening? To make it worse, Night Owl felt the power of death around him.

What a terrifying power

As a prince of the Dongsang Kingdom, Night Owl had met many capable cultivators, but he had never met anyone so terrifying.

This person reminded him of Minister Chu!

People wanted to prostrate on the ground and wors.h.i.+p this person.

Who on earth are you?

The person didnt reply.

Seeing that Night Owl still hadnt answered the question, the person seemed displeased. The suffocating coldness seemed to dissipate as well.

Night Owls stomach lurched.

He suddenly had a feeling that he would lose this opportunity forever.

Seeing that the master was going to give up on him, Night Owl suddenly raised his voice. Wait!

Ill tell you! Ill answer your question now!

Thats right! Im jealous of Jun Linyuan! Hes the one I want to defeat the most!

Hes my nightmare as long as hes alive and my archenemy after hes dead!

Night Owl was about to say something else when the shadow waved at him.

Night Owl immediately stopped talking.

You talk too much. The shadow seemed displeased.

Night Owl held his breath.

Could it really be Master Chu Tianxiao

Night Owl was thrilled.

The next second, the shadow tossed Night Owl a stone.

To be more precise, it was a purple pebble.

Night Owl looked at the purple pebble in bewilderment.

The shadow said, To master the technique, you have to first Once that happens, Jun Linyuan wont be your match anymore.

The Rhadnw was ready in leave after that

Night Owl didnt see the persons face and had no idea where the person came from. Seeing that the shadow was leaving, Night Owl ran after them. What if I dont want to practice it?

The shadow snorted. Itll set itself on fire in two hours.

After that, the shadow disappeared, leaving Night Owl behind.

What was the prerequisite for mastering the technique?

Night Owl injected his spiritual essence into the purple pebble, and soon, words flew out of it and lined up in the air.

The first line of the words in mid-air said, To master the technique, one has to castrate themselves first..

Night Owl was astonished.

It took him a while to recover from the shock.

Castration? Night Owl didnt know what to say.

Naturally, he wouldnt do that.

That was preposterous!

Night Owl looked at the water screen and saw that the battle was coming to an end.

Night Owl thought to himself, Jun Linyuan is going to win.

But so what if Jun Linyuan was going to win? Night Owl had long seen that Jun Linyuan was injured, and there was blood on his clothes. It had to cost him a lot.

Xiao couldnt get there yet. Even with the special portal, it would still take him some time.

But the three old masters were there. Night Owl sat back down and waited for Jun Linyuans death.

Meanwhile, in the temple of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Seeing that Jun Linyuan had gained the upper hand and Gui Qulai was steadily losing ground, Feng Wu was so excited that she almost waved her fists. However, she restrained herself when she considered the fact that the giant eagle was having an epiphany.

A short distance away, Princess Raoxi clenched her fists involuntarily, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright.

Only the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom knew what a capable cultivator Guilai was. Right now, Jun Linyuan was going to defeat him.

Whoos.h.!.+

Sky Destroyer moved again, and this time, it stabbed at Gui Qulais throat.

It was too late to dodge.

The Sky Destroyer was aimed at Gui Qulais throat.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Everyone held their breaths, and the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom watched this in astonishment.

As much as they hated to admit it,

Jun Linyuan had indeed pointed his sword at Gui Qulais vital point. With a flip of his wrist, Gui Qulais throat would be pierced instantly, and his life would be in danger.

You win.

Gui Qulai stared at Jun Linyuan with a defeated look in his eyes.

He had risen by a level since the last time he met Jun Linyuan and had switched to the Heaven Demon Sword. He had come here with great ambition, but he had been defeated by Jun Linyuan. It took him by surprise.

Therefore, when Jun Linyuan was ready to draw back his sword, Gui Qulai ambushed him! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Feng Wu was furious.

How dare you sneak up on my Junjun! You must be tired of living!

Feng Wu had made up her mind. She would tell her Sixth Senior Brother about it when she got back.

Little Phoenix said, Hes forcing Jun Linyuan to kill him!

What?

Feng Wu looked up and saw that the tip of Jun Linyuans sword was already in Gui Qulais next. Blood was oozing out, but Gui Qulai was still smiling.

Jun Linyuan had obviously stopped, but Gui Qulai grabbed Sky Destroyer with his bare hands.

His palms were covered with blood, but he still stuck Sky Destroyer into his throat.

He had to have lost his mind!

Just then, the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom saw it as well.

Their eyesight wasnt as good as Feng Wus, so they only saw a little.

Jun Linyuan has crossed the line! Gui Qulai admitted our defeat, but he still wants to kill him!

Thats right! How can he be so cruel?!

How can he be so cruel? Havent you heard of that fiend? Hes synonymous with cold-blooded murderers!

But no matter how many people he kills, he should do it in the Junwu Empire.

He cant show off in the Northern Yan Kingdom!

Thats right! Gui Qulai is our symbol. We can accept his defeat, but how can Jun Linyuan humiliate him like this?!

By humiliating Gui Qulai, hes humiliating all the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Feng Wu was furious.

Blind!

Were these people blind?

Couldnt they see what was going on?

No, they werent blind. Some of them could see what was going on, but as natives of Northern Yan, they always took Gui Qulais side.

That was their home-ground advantage!

Feng Wu was about to say something when someone stepped out.

Its not what you think. There has to be a misunderstanding Princess Raoxi rose to her feet and turned to face the crowd. Please trust me. Ill give you an explanation!

Feng Wu stared at her coldly.

What was that supposed to mean? Wasnt it obvious? Gui Qulai had been trying to kill himself and wanted to die by Jun Linyuans sword

Feng Wu looked up anxiously.

Jun Linyuan was badly injured, so when Gui Qulai exerted all his strength, Jun Linyuan couldnt push him away.

Below, Princess Raoxi seemed to be speaking up for Jun Linyuan, but her words were ambiguous.

Feng Wu heard someone ask Princess Raoxi, Whats your relations.h.i.+p with the crown prince of the Junwu Empire? Why are you helping the people of the Junwu Empire instead of our own swordsman?

Princess Raoxi looked as if she had been put in a difficult spot, but her cheeks had turned pink

Feng Xun glared at Princess Raoxi. Why did he feel that the princess was looking for trouble? Why did she seem to want to create a rumor between her and Boss Jun?

That was indeed the case.

Tears welled up in Princess Raoxis eyes as she shook her head. Youre mistaken. How can I have anything to do with His Royal Highness? I only met him a few years ago, and we sat in the same carriage Other than that, how can there be anything between us?

Its improper for a man and a woman to stay in a room alone, and you were in

the same carriage! Who knows what you did in the carriage?

Your Royal Highness, if you really have nothing to do with Jun Linyuan, from now on, you dont have to say another word for him!

But but His Royal Highness is a guest

Look, dont you see? Princess Raoxi is still on His Royal Highnesss side. Would she do this if they werent involved? Have they

Feng Wu didnt know what to say.

She looked at Princess Raoxi in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Princess Raoxi was also looking at Feng Wu, and their eyes met.

Feng Wu saw the look of satisfaction in Raoxis eyes.

She did it on purpose! Feng Xun was furious!

Boss Jun was supposed to be an impeccable man, but he had just been blackmailed by this woman, right under their noses.

Feng Wu was amazed by how shameless Princess Raoxi was.

Princess Raoxi only snorted and went on talking to her people.

Feng Wu held her breath. Suddenly, she concentrated her energy in her dantian and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Gui Qulai!

Hearing Feng Wus thunderous voice, everyone gave her strange looks.

Feng Wu went on yelling. Get the h.e.l.l down from there!

A hush fell over the crowd.

Everyone was speechless.

Even the third prince looked at Feng Wu in astonishment and admiration.

That was incredible!

After all, Gui Qulai was the best swordsman of Northern Yan!

What a formidable cultivator!

How dare Feng Wu yell at him like that? It was as if she was yelling at her servant.

Princess Raoxi smirked and waited for Feng Wu to embarra.s.s herself.

But

To everyones astonishment, Gui Qulai stopped moving when he heard Feng Wus voice.

Jun Linyuan looked from Gui Qulai to Feng Wu and was even more confused. Even someone as smart as the crown prince couldnt figure out what was going

on.

Gui Qulai let go of Jun Linyuans Sky Destroyer and only landed after giving him a long look.

He had really landed.

No one said a word. They all held their breaths and stared at Gui Qulai, wondering what had happened to him.

The swordsman had always been a lone wolf. What was he going to do now?

Was he going to kill the girl?

That was the only way to save his dignity as a swordsman, wasnt it? Many people thought so.

What Princess Raoxi was thinking was that even if Gui Qulai didnt kill Feng Wu, he would still teach her a lesson because the best swordsman couldnt be humiliated!

Right now, Jun Linyuan was standing behind Feng Wu like a rock, protecting the pet.i.te girl in front of him.

Princess Rao xi stepped forward and bowed at Gui Quai. She was about to say something when

He nodded at her without saying a word. He had always been a man of few words.

Princess Raoxi didnt feel offended either because Gui Qulai was powerful

enough to do that.

Gui Qulai stood in front of Feng Wu and kept his unblinking gaze on her.

Feng Wu cleared her throat uneasily.

She had bellowed in excitement just then, but when Gui Qulai walked up to her, she felt a little embarra.s.sed. After all, he was the best swordsman of the Northern Yan Kingdom. Was she a little However, Gui Quai spoke the next moment.

Miss, how can I help you?

Wait

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

Miss?

What did he mean?

Did he mean what he thought he meant?

What was with that t.i.tle?

However, Gui Qulai frowned and spoke again. Miss?

Feng Wu didnt know what to say.

Noticing that all eyes were on her and even Jun Linyuan crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, Feng Wu was embarra.s.sed.

Feng Wu waved him off. Youre not my servant. Thats not necessary.

Gui Qulai nodded and didnt say anything else, but he seemed to be protecting Feng Wu from where he stood.

Well

Three people were sipping tea in a teahouse a short distance away.

The battle between the swordsmen on the top of the temple had ended.

The show was only getting started.

Its our turn.

It was none other than the old master of the Firmament Palace.

With a wave of her hand, she covered her face with a black scarf.

The head of the Firmament Palace was hiding her face, which meant that she didnt want to expose herself.

The Zuo familys elder and the Hua familys old lady looked at each other, and they covered their faces as well.

Hence, when the crowd was about to leave, formidable, cold energy spread out toward the temple.

Jun Linyuan narrowed his eyes and pulled Feng Wu behind him. The next second!

Gui Qulai stood in front of Feng Wu as well.

The old master of the Zuo family, the old lady of the Hua family, and the master of the Firmament Palace joined the battle. They formed a triangle around Jun Linyuan and the others.

Everyone was astonished.

They stared at the three masked men in black, who had surrounded Jun Linyuan and the others. Who were they? Why were they so powerful?

They hadnt started fighting yet, but the impact made their blood boil.

They were too close.

Hence, the commoners backed away.

But they were curious as well, so the bold ones stopped at a teahouse a kilometer away. Together, they stared at the imminent battle.

They had a feeling that the battle would be fiercer than the one between Jun Linyuan and Gui Qulai.

Patriarch Zuo, Matriarch Hua, and the master of the Firmament Palace took up positions in mid-air and surrounded the crowd.

Seeing the princes and princesses of Northern Yan, Patriarch Zuo said coldly,

You random people should get out of my way!

Who was their target?

Our target is Jun Linyuan. The rest of you, leave. The old Lady Hua only wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible. She didnt want to get involved with the most capable cultivators of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Gui Qulai was one of them.

And they didnt want to mess with Patriarch Huyan either.

Princess Raoxi and the eldest prince looked at each other.

The three of them

Gui Qulai said, Its a battle of the Spiritual Saints. Leave!

He was a swordsman of the Northern Yan Kingdom, so he reminded the princes and princesses.

Neither Princess Raoxi nor the eldest prince moved.

Apart from them, Feng Wu, Little Phoenix, Feng Xun, Huyan Yichen, and the eagle were also there.

Your Royal Highness, its been a while. How have you been? Patriarch Zuo asked in a taunting voice.

Half a month ago, Jun Linyuan attacked the Zuo familys old manor in Shangyang Province and defeated the old man. Today, things had turned around, and Patriarch Zuo was sure that he was going to win.

Of course, Princess Raoxi recognized them right away, for she had worked with them before.

They werent the only ones. There were more!

They were after Feng Wu, but why did they go after Jun Linyuan now? Princess Raoxi was suspicious, but her eyes soon lit up because she had an excellent idea!

The best way to get Jun Linyuan.

Get out. Jun Linyuan tried to push Feng Wu out of the circle.

But Feng Wu shook her head affirmatively. No.

Jun Linyuan frowned a little. Do as I say.

Feng Wu looked into his eyes. No! I want to fight alongside you!

However, at that moment, a gust of wind charged at them.

Apart from Jun Linyuan and Gui Qulai, everyone else was blown hundreds of meters away before they fell to the ground with a thump.

Of course, Patriarch Zuo wouldnt be polite with these kids. Even Princess Raoxi and the eldest prince fell to the ground, let alone Feng Wu.

Ouch! The giant eagle was woken up by the noise. Covering its b.u.t.t, it opened its eyes and looked around in confusion. Was the battle over?

Stop whining! What level are you now? Little Phoenix sat on the eagles shoulder and smacked it on the head.

The giant eagle was still dumbfounded. I used to be at Level but now Ive risen by one, two, and three levels Gosh, Im a Level-2 Spiritual Saint now!

The giant eagle stomped its foot in frustration. I could have made another breakthrough, but I was woken up. Who did it? Who kicked me?!

Staring at the eagle in astonishment, Little Phoenix cringed.

The eagle was already a Level-2 Spiritual Saint! Little Phoenix didnt know what to say.

The giant eagle looked at Little Phoenix. Did you just hit my head?

Little Phoenix swallowed.

Meanwhile, Princess Raoxi grabbed Feng Wus arm, for Feng Wu was running toward the arena.

Listen to me! I can save Jun Linyuan! Princess Raoxi had never been so serious. Give me what I want, and Ill help you save Jun Linyuan! Feng Wu threw off her hand.

However, Princess Raoxi shouted after her, Jun Linyuan is alone, but hes fighting three Spiritual Saints. Do you think he can defeat them all?!

Do you think the three of them are the only ones? Youre making a big mistake if you think that way.

Feng Wu stopped, turned around, and stared at Princess Raoxi.

She Imew better than Princess Raoxi that Jun Linyuan was injured.

He had been injured before the battle, and his wounds had only gotten worse. Feng Wu could smell blood on him just then, and his clothes were soaked with blood. However, because he was wearing a black robe, people couldnt see it with their naked eyes.

And the Dongsang Kingdom? Feng Wu narrowed her eyes. Princess Raoxi smirked. Youre so good at guessing.

Feng Wu said coldly, Didnt you work with them to kill me?

Princess Raoxi almost choked on her own spit.

However, she could do it, but she couldnt say it aloud. Therefore, she denied it right away. Thats bulls.h.i.+t!

Feng Wu smirked and didnt reply.

The others were dumbfounded.

Especially the eldest prince and Huyan Yichen. They exchanged looks.

Did Feng Wu just say that Princess Raoxi had teamed up with these Spiritual Saints to kill Feng Wu?

That was to say, Feng Wu had escaped the pursuit of these powerful cultivators.

That couldnt have been!

But judging by the look on Feng Wus face, she was telling the truth.

The eldest prince was astonished!

Meanwhile, Huyan Yichen was dumbfounded.

It then occurred to him that he had fancied Feng Wu before and had felt conflicted because of the rumor about Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan Gosh, he was thinking too highly of himself!

Staring at Feng Wu, Princess Raoxi said, Im the only one who can save Jun

Linyuan now!

Feng Wu glanced at her and said, Speak!

But Princess Raoxi couldnt tell the others that because it was very private.

She whispered something in Feng Wus ear.

Feng Wu only had one word for her suggestion. Shameless!

However, Princess Raoi wasnt provoked. Instead, she grinned at Feng Wu. Im taking advantage of the situation. Yes, I find it shameless, but youre in love with him. Since you like him, you should give up on him. What kind of logic was that?!

Feng Wu ignored her and ran into the circle as fast as she could.

Feng Wu saw how shameless the three Spiritual Saints were. They were attacking Jun Linyuan all at once!

Feng Wu didnt think much of it under normal circ.u.mstances, but her Junjun was so badly injured that she almost couldnt breathe.

She saw Gui Qulai watching the battle as if he was comprehending something.

Gui Qulai. Feng Wu looked at him.

Gui Qulai revered Feng Wu because he had seen with his own eyes how the Patriarch treated the girl.

The old master treated her like a treasure, so Gui Qulai saw her as a young master.

Feng Wu said, Will you listen to me?

Gui Qulai looked at Feng Wu and nodded.

Feng Wu said, I know youre a top swordsman and wont follow orders. Lets make a deal.

If you help me this time, Ill owe you one.

When youre in trouble next time, no matter what the situation is, Ill help you with my life!

It wasnt that Feng Wu hadnt thought about asking for her Sixth Senior Brothers help. In fact, she had talked to the giant eagle earlier, and the eagle had let slip that the Patriarch wasnt in the tower.

He wasnt in the tower Feng Wu was filled with despair.

Hence, she could only ask Gui Qulai for help now.

A moment ago, Gui Qulai was going to fight Jun Linyuan to the death, but now, she was asking him to help her Feng Wu didnt know what to say, but she didnt mind giving up her dignity for Jun Linyuan. She had to force Gui Qulai for this once.

Gui Quai gave Feng Wu a serious look. After some thought, he nodded and said, Alright.

Feng Wu nodded at Gui Qulai with a smile. The next second, she turned to look at the battle and set foot in the arena.

She headed straight for Matriarch Hua as soon as she walked in.

Her plan was very clear. Jun Linyuan still had a chance, and as long as they stalled the other two, Jun Linyuan would be able to take care of one of them as soon as he could!

Gui Qulai, stall the master of the Firmament Palace! Yes, the tallest old woman!

The head of the Firmament Palace almost exploded when he heard what Feng Wu said.

The tallest old woman? Was she that old?
