Night Owl was also astonished.
He couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 Owl’s face darkened when he saw Sakiya leave. He smashed the table next to him after Sakiya was gone.
“He just doesn’t like me!
“He just thinks that Jun Linyuan is better than me!
“Is Jun Linyuan stronger than me? He’s 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 spacious room.
He whimpered like an injured beast.
To him, who was only one step away from Jun Linyuan, Jun Linyuan’s talent was unacceptable.
He had been dreaming about surpassing Jun Linyuan! Just then, a dark shadow appeared and asked a question.
“Do you want to surpass 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 surpass Jun Linyuan?” The voice rang out again.
‘Who’s 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 worship this person.
“Who on earth are you?”
The person didn’t reply.
Seeing that Night Owl still hadn’t answered the question, the person seemed displeased. The suffocating coldness seemed to dissipate as well.
Night Owl’s 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!
“I’ll tell you! I’ll answer your question now!
“That’s right! I’m jealous of Jun Linyuan! He’s the one I want to defeat the most!
“He’s my nightmare as long as he’s alive and my archenemy after he’s 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 won’t be your match anymore.”
The Rhadnw was ready in leave after that
Night Owl didn’t see the person’s face and had no idea where the person came from. Seeing that the shadow was leaving, Night Owl ran after them. “What if I don’t want to practice it?”
The shadow snorted. “It’ll 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 didn’t know what to say.
Naturally, he wouldn’t do that.
That was preposterous!
Night Owl looked at the water screen and saw that the battle was coming to an end.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNight 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 couldn’t 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 Linyuan’s 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.
“Whoosh!”
Sky Destroyer moved again, and this time, it stabbed at Gui Qulai’s throat.
It was too late to dodge.
The Sky Destroyer was aimed at Gui Qulai’s 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 Qulai’s vital point. With a flip of his wrist, Gui Qulai’s 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 bastard!”
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, “He’s forcing Jun Linyuan to kill him!”
What?
Feng Wu looked up and saw that the tip of Jun Linyuan’s sword was already in Gui Qulai’s 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 wasn’t as good as Feng Wu’s, so they only saw a little.
“Jun Linyuan has crossed the line! Gui Qulai admitted our defeat, but he still wants to kill him!”
“That’s right! How can he be so cruel?!”
“How can he be so cruel? Haven’t you heard of that fiend? He’s synonymous with cold-blooded murderers!”
“But no matter how many people he kills, he should do it in the Junwu Empire.
He can’t show off in the Northern Yan Kingdom!”
“That’s right! Gui Qulai is our symbol. We can accept his defeat, but how can Jun Linyuan humiliate him like this?!”
“By humiliating Gui Qulai, he’s humiliating all the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom.”
Feng Wu was furious.
Blind!
Were these people blind?
Couldn’t they see what was going on?
No, they weren’t blind. Some of them could see what was going on, but as natives of Northern Yan, they always took Gui Qulai’s side.
That was their home-ground advantage!
Feng Wu was about to say something when someone stepped out.
“It’s 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. I’ll give you an explanation!”
Feng Wu stared at her coldly.
What was that supposed to mean? Wasn’t it obvious? Gui Qulai had been trying to kill himself and wanted to die by Jun Linyuan’s sword…
Feng Wu looked up anxiously.
Jun Linyuan was badly injured, so when Gui Qulai exerted all his strength, Jun Linyuan couldn’t 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, “What’s your relationship 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 Raoxi’s eyes as she shook her head. “You’re 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?”
“It’s 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 don’t have to say another word for him!”
“But… but His Royal Highness is a guest…”
“Look, don’t you see? Princess Raoxi is still on His Royal Highness’s side. Would she do this if they weren’t involved? Have they…”
Feng Wu didn’t 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 Raoxi’s 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 Wu’s thunderous voice, everyone gave her strange looks.
Feng Wu went on yelling. “Get the hell 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 embarrass herself.
But…
To everyone’s astonishment, Gui Qulai stopped moving when he heard Feng Wu’s voice.
Jun Linyuan looked from Gui Qulai to Feng Wu and was even more confused. Even someone as smart as the crown prince couldn’t figure out what was going
on.
Gui Qulai let go of Jun Linyuan’s 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, wasn’t it? Many people thought so.
What Princess Raoxi was thinking was that even if Gui Qulai didn’t kill Feng Wu, he would still teach her a lesson because the best swordsman couldn’t be humiliated!
Right now, Jun Linyuan was standing behind Feng Wu like a rock, protecting the petite 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 didn’t 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 embarrassed. 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 title?
However, Gui Qulai frowned and spoke again. “Miss?”
Feng Wu didn’t 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 embarrassed.
Feng Wu waved him off. “You’re not my servant. That’s not necessary.”
Gui Qulai nodded and didn’t 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.
“It’s 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 didn’t want to expose herself.
The Zuo family’s elder and the Hua family’s 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 hadn’t 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 didn’t want to get involved with the most capable cultivators of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
Gui Qulai was one of them.
And they didn’t want to mess with Patriarch Huyan either.
Princess Raoxi and the eldest prince looked at each other.
The three of them…
Gui Qulai said, “It’s 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApart from them, Feng Wu, Little Phoenix, Feng Xun, Huyan Yichen, and the eagle were also there.
“Your Royal Highness, it’s been a while. How have you been?” Patriarch Zuo asked in a taunting voice.
Half a month ago, Jun Linyuan attacked the Zuo family’s 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 weren’t 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 wouldn’t 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 butt, 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 eagle’s shoulder and smacked it on the head.
The giant eagle was still dumbfounded. “I used to be at Level… but now… I’ve risen by one, two, and three levels… Gosh, I’m 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 didn’t 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 Wu’s 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 I’ll help you save Jun Linyuan!” Feng Wu threw off her hand.
However, Princess Raoxi shouted after her, “Jun Linyuan is alone, but he’s fighting three Spiritual Saints. Do you think he can defeat them all?!
“Do you think the three of them are the only ones? You’re 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 couldn’t see it with their naked eyes.
“And the Dongsang Kingdom?” Feng Wu narrowed her eyes. Princess Raoxi smirked. “You’re so good at guessing.”
Feng Wu said coldly, “Didn’t you work with them to kill me?”
Princess Raoxi almost choked on her own spit.
However, she could do it, but she couldn’t say it aloud. Therefore, she denied it right away. “That’s bullshit!”
Feng Wu smirked and didn’t 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 couldn’t have been!
But judging by the look on Feng Wu’s 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, “I’m the only one who can save Jun
Linyuan now!”
Feng Wu glanced at her and said, “Speak!”
But Princess Raoxi couldn’t tell the others that because it was very private.
She whispered something in Feng Wu’s ear.
Feng Wu only had one word for her suggestion. “Shameless!”
However, Princess Raoi wasn’t provoked. Instead, she grinned at Feng Wu. “I’m taking advantage of the situation. Yes, I find it shameless, but you’re 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 didn’t think much of it under normal circumstances, but her Junjun was so badly injured that she almost couldn’t 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 you’re a top swordsman and won’t follow orders. Let’s make a deal.
“If you help me this time, I’ll owe you one.
“When you’re in trouble next time, no matter what the situation is, I’ll help you with my life!”
It wasn’t that Feng Wu hadn’t thought about asking for her Sixth Senior Brother’s help. In fact, she had talked to the giant eagle earlier, and the eagle had let slip that the Patriarch wasn’t in the tower.
He wasn’t 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 didn’t know what to say, but she didn’t 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?
