Among all the defeated compet.i.tors were people from all three kingdoms . The people of the Celestial Kingdom chose to give up the fight willingly, as their compet.i.tor was the prince himself . There was nothing they could do but to give up .  However, the same respect was not shown by the people of the Devil and Monster Kingdoms . After taking a few defeats, they joined hands and fought the duo together .

These people were no ordinary warriors . According to the ranking of the Celestial Kingdom, these opponents were at least Golden Immortals and above . Some had even achieved the level of a Mighty Immortal .

When these people worked together and raised the siege, it would become a rather difficult battle even for Gu Xijiu and Yun Yanli . Fortunately, the prince's cultivation had reached the level of a Mighty Immortal . From the fight, Gu Xijiu also realized that her strength was sufficient, even in a foreign land . Her level of spiritual power was comparable to Yun Yanli's, or probably higher .

In addition, her battle experience was an advantage . When the real fight began, she commanded many moves and saved Yun Yanli from making a lot of unnecessary mistakes .

In the beginning, Yun Yanli was not really sure if he should follow all of her commands, as he was worried that she might take him the wrong way . When he finally tasted the victory made possible under Gu Xijiu's lead, he began to trust her completely .

Their excellent teamwork had eliminated dozens of compet.i.tors along their way . When they finally arrived at the valley, there were only seven or eight remaining teams .

Those teams were certainly made up of elite fighters; they were equally outstanding in both Kung Fu and strategy . Seemingly staged, all of them worked together and laid siege to the duo .

Apparently, the main reason behind their teamwork was to eliminate the powerful duo first; only then would they compete for the magic weapon among themselves .

Under the intense circ.u.mstance, both of them had to fight an extremely tough battle against 20 fighters, whose Kung Fu were well–matched .

Gu Xijiu made a prompt decision that she would be the one defending the compet.i.tors, while Yun Yanli would seize the window and pull the weapon out from the stone .  The golden ruler could already be partly seen .

To his disappointment, Yun Yanli could not remove the ruler at all; it was like it had completely merged with the stone into one .

Yun Yanli's strength was strong enough to lift an entire mountain with his spiritual power, but he could hardly pull the sword out .

He was unprepared for the sudden bounce from the power of the ruler . He snapped backward and almost cut himself under his opponent's sword .

Luckily, Gu Xijiu was there to pull him back, preventing his flesh from being torn apart . The slight delay gave their opponents the opportunity to make a dash for the ruler .

Gu Xijiu was anxious . Quickly, she teleported and grabbed the ruler in her hand right away . She had obviously taken the lead . Others decided to give up their attack at Yun Yanli . Instead, they turned and launched their attacks simultaneously at Gu Xijiu .

Without having much thought, she exerted her strength and pulled the ruler out of the rock very easily . Under the gleaming golden light, all the weapons that were aimed at her were immediately shattered into pieces .

With a sword in his hand, Yun Yanli rushed to her side to help . Unfortunately, the ruler caused the same damage to his sword without taking any sides .

Most of the magic weapons would pick the masters of their choice . Obviously, Gu Xijiu was chosen to be the master of the golden ruler . It was best for others to give up hope of owning it .

Despite being unhappy about the result, they were willing to acknowledge their defeat . Since the magic weapon had already chosen its master, there was nothing else they could possibly gain from the place . Thus, all of them left immediately .

Gu Xijiu did not really like the golden ruler . She thought that it was too fancy and glamorous, so she preferred something modest .
