"Master, Master, the geese are back!"

Yi Cheng and his friends happily ran back from the foot of the mountain.

More than a dozen powerful demons carried loads of food and piled them neatly on the hilltop.

"Xiaobai, why is your face swollen?"

Wen Qing looked at the Netherworld White Tiger and asked.

The Netherworld White Tiger, its large eyes darting around, glanced at the little guy beside it who was squinting and chuckling. Immediately, its body trembled, and it roared:

"Reporting to Xiao Wen, I was the one who fell; it really has nothing to do with Boss Yi Cheng."

"Hmm, it has nothing to do with geese."

Yi Cheng shook her head repeatedly.

Warmth: ? ? ? ? ?

Looking at the two of them, who weren't very bright, she was both angry and amused.

"Yi Cheng, Xiao Bai is Senior Sister's good friend. Many bad guys tried to kill her, but Xiao Bai saved her. So, can you please stop bullying him and play with him instead?"

Wenqing pulled Yicheng aside and explained gently.

"Ah! Xiao Bai is so nice! He even helps his senior sister fight bad guys!"

Yi Cheng stared wide-eyed, her sparse eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she immediately felt annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Little White, I won't bully you next time."

Yi Cheng ran over with a "da da da" sound, took the paw of the Netherworld White Tiger, and sincerely apologized.

The Netherworld White Tiger blinked its big eyes, "Then next time, can you let me play the Golden Wheel Monk?"

"Goose...goose...can...can you?"

Yi Cheng turned her gaze to Little Fatty.

The chubby boy was taken aback, then asked questioningly, "No...no?"

Yi Cheng immediately turned to look at the Netherworld White Tiger, "Little Fatty said no."

Netherworld White Tiger:.........

Little Fatty:............

"Haha, the legendary super king crab is here! Junior Sister, aren't you going to come out and greet it?"

At that moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the sky.

Amidst the rising glow of the clouds, a shadow the size of a small mountain swept across the sky—a crab, its entire body gleaming with golden light, dazzlingly bright.

Xiao Xuan sat on the crab and slowly landed on the mountaintop.

Wow! What a huge crab!

Yi Cheng stared at the glittering golden crab, her little eyes widening and practically glowing green.

She had eaten crabs before, including drunken crabs made by her senior sister, but she had never eaten such a big crab.

"Huh! Siwu, Siwu, you're here!"

Yi Cheng happily pounced on it.

"Haha, I'm here!"

Xiao Xuan opened his arms to welcome him.

With a splash, Yi Cheng jumped up and pounced directly onto the crab's head.

"Wow! Such a big crab, it must be delicious! ( ° ▽、° ) ")

A little orange face happily rubbed against it.

Smack!

Little Fatty and Black Rabbit watched from the side, their mouths watering with happiness.

When they were in the Da Duan Royal Palace, they ate crabs for the first time. The crab leg meat was so delicious, and Yi Cheng even ate the shell.

"All right. "

Xiao Xuan relaxed his brows, chuckled, then lowered his arm and walked towards Qin Beast.

"Greetings, Master."

Xiao Xuan bowed and then smiled, "Master, the once-in-a-century Immortal Martial Arts Tournament in the Central Plains has concluded. I received the latest news two days ago and knew you were bored on the mountain, so I gathered the relevant information about the tournament for your amusement."

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan handed over a jade slip containing information about the Immortal Martial Arts Tournament, as well as some ranking lists.

"Hehe, that's thoughtful."

Qin Shou smiled as he accepted the list.

Since transmigrating to this world, he has spent almost all of his life on this mountain, but he is extremely curious about the world below, especially since it is a colorful world of cultivation.

Qin Shou was just waiting, waiting until he broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm before he could roam the mortal world, live a carefree and unrestrained life for eternity.

"You are Xiao Xuan!"

At this moment, Luo Bingshu, the young man in white standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

From the moment Xiao Xuan appeared, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Xuan, and an uncontrollable fighting spirit rose up from his body.

Xiao Xuan had noticed him from the very beginning; his inner radiance was restrained, and his vital energy was as vigorous as a blazing sun.

This is a connection unique to a select few top geniuses.

Xiao Xuan felt that the white-robed youth in front of him was very strong.

Luo Bingshu also sensed that Xiao Xuan was no ordinary person.

"Two months ago, I received news that a peerless genius had appeared in the desolate borderland of Yunzhou. He possessed the power to fight against all odds and had once killed a Void Realm expert on the Blood Sea with his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."

Luo Bingshu stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You're very strong!"

"With combat strength like yours, within the same realm, I've only ever seen one other person so far."

"Therefore, I volunteered to come to Yunzhou this time, firstly to escort the secret technique, and secondly to go to the Vermilion Bird Imperial Capital to challenge you, this rising star who has gained fame in recent years."

"Perhaps you are unaware of this, but I heard of your name decades ago. To reach the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred is indeed amazing, but it is only amazing. Such talent is not uncommon. At least there are one or two in my Northern Continent, and there should be more in the Central Divine Continent."

So when I first heard the name, I just found it amusing and then forgot about it.

"Now it seems you truly deserve to be remembered."

Luo Bingshu stared intently at Xiao Xuan, his pupils growing brighter, revealing an unconcealable surge of emotion—the joy of meeting a worthy adversary and the will to fight.

Luo Bingshu was a warlike man throughout his life, and even in the Northern Continent, where sword cultivators gathered, he won the title of the number one attacker among the new generation.

So he was very curious whether his own offensive power was stronger, or whether the Xuan Emperor, who had risen to fame in recent years, was stronger in this desolate border state.

"Rumors say that you visited the Nine Heavens Cave, inherited the mark of the Vermilion Bird God, and awakened your bloodline power."

Luo Bingshu stared intently at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan didn't shy away from the question and responded frankly, "That's right."

"Great! Great! Great! Excellent!"

Luo Bingshu laughed heartily and said "good" four times in a row, showing how excited he was.

"My name is Luo Bingshu, and I come from Beiju Luzhou. I hereby challenge you to a duel. Will you accept?"

Luo Bingshu stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said solemnly.

"You are Luo Bingshu of the Luoshen Dynasty."

Xiao Xuan's gaze paused slightly.

"good. "

Luo Bingshu nodded, his eyes flashing. "You recognize me?"

"Hehe, that's for sure. He's one of the most outstanding top geniuses of the new generation in Beiju Luzhou, known as the number one attacker below the Void Realm."

"Your name ranks third on the list of the top 100 new generation in Beiju Luzhou, which I naturally know."

Xiao Xuan, with his hands behind his back, said casually:

"But I won't accept your challenge."

Why?

Luo Bingshu immediately frowned.

"Because I took a cold bath yesterday, I caught a cold and am not fit to fight."

? ? ? ?

Luo Bingshu was immediately filled with questions.

Did you catch a cold?

"You, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, are telling me you've caught a cold? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"Are you scared?"

Luo Bingshu's eyes revealed a hint of anger.

He felt that the other party's excuse was very perfunctory.

"Mmm, I'm scared."

Xiao Xuan didn't take it to heart and nodded repeatedly.

"Hmph, I thought this small Yunzhou would produce some kind of peerless genius after Yun Anran, but it turns out he's just a coward who fears death."

Luo Bingshu gave a cold snort.

He had initially had some expectations for this trip, but now all that remains is disappointment.

When a prodigy loses his invincible spirit, his path will not go far.

“(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~”

"A poor attempt at provocation."

Xiao Xuan curled his lip, dismissing it with disdain.

He paused, then nodded, and said, "However, if you insist on a fight, it's not impossible."

"How is it?" Luo Bingshu's eyes twitched.

Xiao Xuan laughed loudly, "I have no hobbies in my life except gambling. If you and I fight, and I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. But if you lose, you'll serve me for five thousand years. How about it?"

"this........ "

Luo Bingshu hesitated for a moment.

He frowned and said, "If it's a fight, then it's a fight. Why should we risk our lives for you just because we're losing? Besides, isn't five thousand years too long?"

"Heh, are you scared?"

Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Bingshu.

Luo Bingshu immediately replied in a deep voice, "When have I ever been afraid of a battle between equals?"

"That means you lack confidence in yourself."

"Hmph, I'm just afraid you'll lose too badly."

"Oh, since you're so confident in yourself and think you won't lose, what are you hesitating for?"

Xiao Xuan chuckled and looked at the other person, sizing him up from head to toe. He smacked his lips, his expression full of disdain.

"you....... "

Luo Bingshu's brows furrowed with anger. He knew the other party was trying to provoke him, but he was still emotionally affected.

“Alright, I, Luo Bingshu, have never gambled in my life, but today I will make an exception and accept your bet.”

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Truly worthy of being the most outstanding talent in Beiju Luzhou!"

Xiao Xuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Actually, I've long wanted to fight against those of you who are worthy of being called the pinnacle of geniuses!"

"Hmph, enough nonsense, come and fight me. I've reached the half-step Void Realm, I won't take advantage of you. In the duel, I can suppress thirty percent of my cultivation."

Even among those who are considered geniuses, there is an inherent sense of pride.

"No rush, no rush, we haven't made our oath to the Heavenly Dao yet."

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan immediately swore an oath with his primordial spirit.

“............”

Upon seeing this, Luo Bingshu's lips twitched.

"Is it really necessary...?"

"Absolutely."

Xiao Xuan nodded repeatedly.

"My word is my bond, how could I possibly go back on my word?"

"Hey, what are you saying? Oaths from Heaven are much more credible."

Xiao Xuan said something, then raised an eyebrow and feigned surprise, saying:

"No way, no way, you're not scared, are you?!"
