Chapter 66 The Emperor's Eldest Son (23)
After Zhao Yan returned...
Yue Cangwu then went into seclusion. He did not withdraw the order to capture Chang Qing or the bounty, but in reality, he had no one assigned to do it.
Nobody found it strange.
At this point, everyone knows that only the father and son can resolve the issue between them.
The major powers remained silent.
After all, strictly speaking, this is still a family matter of the Yue family.
The discussion about this matter on the streets and alleys grew more and more, especially as time went on, the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Formation outside the Imperial Pass gradually took shape, and the number of visitors to the Imperial Pass City gradually increased.
"The betting has started! Bets on the old should go left, bets on the small should go right. Minimum bet is 1,000 Xuanjing. Poor guys, get out of the way."
At the entrance of Wanbaolou, betting has already begun, and there are still many people placing bets.
"I'm betting on Emperor Yue. After all, he's a veteran Emperor-level expert. How old is his son? Even if his talent is extraordinary, it would be remarkable if he could break through to the Emperor level. He would never be a match for Emperor Yue!"
Someone shouted, "Stand in the line on the left!"
"Hehe, haven't you heard the saying 'youth has the upper hand'? The younger you are, the more vigorous your blood and energy are. I'll bet on the smaller one."
Someone retorted and stood on the other side.
"I'll bet two thousand Xuan Crystals!"
"I'll bet three thousand!"
The scene was very lively, with gamblers everywhere.
Not far away, Mu Zong and his daughter looked at the bustling crowd ahead, their expressions quite complex.
The two of them had been kidnapped by that wicked son of the Great Emperor before.
Who could have imagined that things would be so complicated, and that the villain, after more than a decade, would actually be able to challenge the Emperor?
"Why--"
After standing there for a long time, the old man Mu Zong sighed, his expression desolate.
"Let's go, Qing'er, let's not get involved in these things."
Mu Qing's heart was filled with even more complex emotions.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, the father and daughter have experienced many things over the years. She is beautiful and has good talent in cultivation, so many people have come to propose marriage to her, including some old monsters who are hundreds of years old and even older than her father.
Some resort to coercion and bribery, but many more use their power to oppress others.
The small sect the father and daughter belonged to also had designs on her, wanting to use her to make connections with important figures, forcing the father and daughter to flee the sect, and now they are being hunted down.
Throughout her tumultuous journey, she often thought about what happened that day, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed to her.
When he finally approached her, he could have easily reached out and touched her body, but he inexplicably paused, as if he were waiting for something.
Did he already know Su Bai would appear, so he put on a show of lust for him?
and--
She remembered the look in that person's eyes when he approached her.
That was a different look in her eyes than those of the men who later came to the sect to ask for her hand in marriage.
There was no excitement, and seemingly no lust either; it was as if I were looking at a stone.
"Bet 100,000 Xuan Crystals, betting that Yue Changqing will win."
Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out, making both father and daughter turn around.
The speaker was an extremely young woman, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a chubby, round face, and her eyes were dark and bright. When she smiled, she looked like a sweet little sister next door, which was very endearing. However, the aura emanating from her body was not to be ignored.
Royal Realm!
Wang Jing at this age is no ordinary genius.
Many people immediately thought of the successors of the four holy sites.
"Auntie, young lady, are you sure you want to bet so much on Yue Changqing?"
The fat man's face twitched as he opened the shop. He dared not underestimate the young girl in front of him and was extremely respectful.
"Of course, he's my friend."
The little girl looked up. He had treated her to barbecue, so they were friends, right? Besides, she wanted to ask him for the recipe because she had tried to grill it herself later, but it didn't taste the same at all.
She stretched out her hand and threw a storage ring onto the table in front of her.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp softly.
friend?
That guy actually has friends?
Many people wondered if Yue Changqing's rapid advancement in cultivation was actually due to the support of a sacred land.
The little girl noticed everyone's surprise and frowned slightly.
"What's so strange about that? He even treated me to roasted tits before."
hiss.
These words elicited another collective gasp.
That god of death still has the leisure to eat?
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what level has your friend reached now?"
"I can't say for sure, but it's definitely very strong."
Everyone fell silent.
After a while, many people from the group supporting Yue Cangwu stepped forward and joined the group on this side.
However, most people are clearly rational.
The Great Emperor is a veteran emperor, and his strength is beyond doubt. Most people are optimistic about him. In the end, only about 30% of people are optimistic about Changqing.
...
The day the formation was completed.
Yue Cangwu finally emerged from seclusion. He was calm and composed, his aura as deep as an abyss. He did not care about the countless probing gazes in the sky.
"My lord!"
His subordinates had all arrived and bowed in greeting. Yue Cangwu nodded to them.
"Brother Cangwu".
Su Rongrong stepped forward, her expression filled with excitement.
"You... broke through?"
Her cultivation was not weak, and she sensed that Yue Cangwu's aura was much stronger than before, which is why she asked this question.
Yue Cangwu nodded, somewhat moved.
"Yes, I have taken another step forward and entered the mid-stage."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clear enough for countless people hiding around to hear him.
Countless people were shocked at that moment.
Especially on the distant mountain peak, sitting around the chessboard were the Wan Jin Lou Master, the Sword Sect Supreme Elder, and the Qian Guo Supreme Emperor.
"Mid-stage Emperor Realm? So, the Emperor Realm isn't the end?"
The white chess piece in Wan Jin Lou's hand remained suspended on the chessboard for a long time, as he muttered to himself, completely lost in thought.
Opposite him, the retired emperor, dressed in noble attire, gazed into the distance with a complex expression.
"What a remarkable Yue Cangwu! He actually managed to break through at this critical juncture!"
The Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect had already stood up, his face still showing disbelief.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and try him out."
The next moment, he transformed into a sharp sword and slashed towards the Imperial Pass.
In the shadows, countless gasps of surprise rang out.
Wan Qianjin, the owner of Wan Jin Lou, and Gan Zheng, the retired emperor of Gan Guo, suddenly stood up, not caring about the chessboard that had been overturned on the ground.
Sizzle!
The clouds rolled across the sky, and a ravine stretched out in the distance.
A swordsman at the Emperor Realm unleashed a dazzling attack.
Wan Qianjin and Gan Zheng stared wide-eyed. The three of them had become emperors almost at the same time and often sparred with each other, so they naturally knew how terrifying sword cultivators were. They knew that even if they could block this attack, they would still be injured.
"Oh."
A cold snort came from afar, and the next moment, the figure of the Sword Sect's Supreme Elder flew back.
"Brother Zhuo!"
The man leaped forward and caught the man. He saw that Zhuo Feifan's mouth was bleeding and his face was as pale as paper, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.
"Cough cough."
He coughed twice, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"I'm afraid we'll have to give back the benefits we fought for earlier."
