The outcome of the battle between Gao Yan and Xiahou Jian quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Xuanming Sect.

Inside a certain temple of the Holy Son.

After reading the message in the communication talisman, Dugu Yang couldn't help but crush it into powder.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Should we engage in battle?"

His subordinate said with concern.

He had already seen the message in the communication talisman in advance and knew that Gao Yan would come to challenge him in three days.

Since their own Holy Son ranked the highest among the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Xuanming Sect, it was naturally up to him to face Gao Yan.

At this moment, Dugu Yang was in a state of inner turmoil. After emerging from the Emperor's Tomb, his cultivation level had also increased by one realm, reaching the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

I originally thought I could compete with Xiahou Jian, but I didn't expect Xiahou Jian to have already reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that Xiahou Jian has been defeated by Gao Yan, he has no confidence at all!

"This battle is unavoidable!"

Dugu Yang shook his head.

Just then, someone came to report that You Xuance, the head of the You family, had arrived.

What's he doing here?

Dugu Yang frowned slightly. Suddenly, he remembered that You Lin'er had been captured and humiliated by Gao Yan, which not only caused You Lin'er to lose her position as a saintess, but also caused the You family to lose face!

Soon, Dugu Yang invited You Xuance to a palace.

After exchanging pleasantries...

You Xuance smiled and said, "Holy Son, I have a favor to ask of you!"

"Please speak, Patriarch You!"

A cold glint flashed in You Xuance's eyes: "Three days from now, Gao Yan wants to come and challenge us, doesn't he? I'll kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yang's expression changed drastically: "Patriarch You, you've put this junior in a difficult position. I'm not confident I can kill Gao Yan!"

He wasn't even confident of killing the opponent, let alone defeating them.

"It's alright, I can provide you with something that will allow you to kill him on the spot!" As he spoke, You Xuance took out a jade pendant and handed it to him. This jade pendant contained a sword aura.

This sword energy was provided by the You family's Dao Integration Realm, and it could kill even an ordinary Void Transformation Realm expert, let alone a Nascent Soul Realm expert!

However, Dugu Yang felt that the jade pendant was too hot to handle. If he could kill Gao Yan fair and square in the duel, the Nine Saints Sect would have nothing to say.

However, he used You Xuan Ce's jade pendant, which was cheating in front of everyone. Not to mention that the Nine Saints Sect would not let him off the hook, the Xuanming Sect would probably not let him off the hook either.

After all, the Xuanming Sect is a top sect in the Eastern Wilderness, and it has its pride.

"Patriarch You, I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this!"

But You Xuance was not giving up: "Holy Son, rest assured, if the Nine Saints Sect causes trouble afterward, my You family will protect you. After it's done, my You family will also owe you a favor!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yang laughed. Did they really think that the Nine Saints Sect was a weak and easily bullied ordinary sect? If the other party wanted to kill him, how could a mere Dao Integration cultivator from the You family possibly protect him?

In order to give the Nine Saints Sect an explanation, his own sect would most likely revoke his status as a holy son and leave him to fend for himself.

Just for a favor from the You family, not only do they have to risk being assassinated by the Nine Saints Sect, but they also have to give up their position as Holy Son?

This Youxuan Strategy is simply outrageous!

Thinking of this, anger flashed in his eyes: "Patriarch You, there's no need to discuss this matter further. In three days, I will have a battle with Gao Yan. I need to be in the best condition to fight, so I cannot entertain you any longer!"

Upon hearing this, You Xuance frowned slightly: "Does the Holy Son truly refuse to agree?"

"Guards, escort this guest out!"

Dugu Yang said loudly.

Then an attendant appeared and asked You Xuance to leave.

"Holy Son, You Xuan Ce has gone too far!"

After You Xuance left, Dugu Yang's subordinates couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"hehe!"

Dugu Yang sneered: "Isn't he only daring to come and bully me because he thinks I have no background?"

As he said this, the teacup in his hand shattered with a crack, and he secretly vowed that once he came to power, he would make the You family pay.

The You family is not considered a major family in the Xuanming Sect, after all, they only have one Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

at the same time.

Liu Qingwei, the Holy Maiden of the Shangqing Sword Sect, was also reviewing information about Gao Yan and Xiahou Jian.

Inside the imperial tomb, Gao Yan left a deep impression on her.

"Your Highness, are you going to the Xuanming Sect to watch the battle?"

"I asked the personal maid."

Liu Qingwei said softly, "Gao Yan clearly wants to become the number one genius in the Eastern Wilderness. After challenging the Xuanming Sect, he will most likely challenge me. I have to go and see this battle!"

Before entering the Emperor's Tomb, among the holy sons and daughters of the Nine Sects in the Eastern Wilderness, only she, Dugu Yang of the Xuanming Sect, and Xiahou Jian of the Nine Saints Sect had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

No matter how high Gao Yan wants to be the number one genius in the Eastern Wilderness, he can't get past her!

"Even Xiahou Jian is no match for him, Your Highness, can you defeat him?" the personal maid asked worriedly.

"It's alright!"

A fighting spirit flashed in Liu Qingwei's eyes: "It just so happens that I have reached the perfection of my Shangqing Sword Scripture, so let's use it to test my sword skills!"

"Ah, it's perfect! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

The personal maid quickly replied, as she was Liu Qingwei's personal maid and naturally knew something about the Shangqing Sword Scripture.

It is said that the Shangqing Sword Scripture is a sword technique from an imperial scripture.

Because the cultivation methods in the Imperial Scripture are not available, no one in the Shangqing Sword Sect has ever mastered this sword scripture to perfection.

Unexpectedly, something that no one had accomplished in tens of thousands of years was done by His Highness.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, just how powerful is the Shangqing Sword Scripture?"

Liu Qingwei smiled and said, "You'll find out in a while."

If she hadn't obtained a fortuitous opportunity within the Emperor's Tomb, she would never have been able to cultivate the Shangqing Sword Scripture to at least perfection in her lifetime.
