"Let's cut to the chase."
But Gu Jianmen quickly said, "Miss Yan, the events of that day are still vivid in my mind."
"But may I ask, Miss Yan, are you here today with the same intentions as your elder brother did back then, to challenge my Gu Jianmen?"
"Has the Yan Family's ambition to unify the Southwest Dao not yet been extinguished?"
Gu Jianmen truly did not want to provoke another conflict in the Southwest Dao.
Maintaining the current situation of two separate entities is sufficient.
Moreover, he didn't believe Yan Liuli could defeat him today. If Yan Liuli lost, his men would inevitably start to have designs on him.
They forced him to unify the martial arts world in the Southwest Dao!
"The Southwest Dao naturally needs to be unified, but Liuli will never do it my elder brother's way."
"The Yan and Gu Families can govern together."
"But we need to clearly distinguish who is in charge and who is secondary."
"Let's go with today's duel, shall we?"
After a moment's thought, Gu Jianmen realized that although the Gu Family and the Yan Family had some reputation, they were not really considered any major power.
It's not presentable.
But if it were to unify the martial arts forces throughout the entire Southwest Dao...
They will undoubtedly become a force to be reckoned with in this world!
"In that case, let's go!"
Gu Jianmen drew his sword and charged forward.
The sword energy crisscrossed, raging all around and leaving behind clear sword marks.
They headed straight for Yan Liuli.
Yan Liuli, on the other hand, activated the Bright Jade Skill, making her appearance even more stunning, and with a single palm strike, she sent all the scattered sword energy flying back.
The audience.
The onlookers cheered with joy.
"They've started fighting! They've finally started fighting!"
"Do you think Gu Jianmen will win today's duel, or Yan Liuli?"
"Nonsense! Of course it's Gu Jianmen!"
"How long has Yan Liuli been practicing martial arts? Gu Jianmen was already one of the Eight Princes of Northern Li half a year ago!"
"He's still a disciple of Academy Mister Li!"
"How could I possibly lose to Yan Liuli?"
"However, don't be so quick to speak. In the past six months, hasn't Yan Liuli defeated quite a few Yan Liuli masters?"
Everyone couldn't help but recall Yan Liuli's achievements over the past six months.
Many renowned martial arts masters were defeated by Yan Liuli with a single palm strike.
Among them were even experts at the Free Earth Realm!
On stage.
Yan Liuli gazed at the Gu Manor before her, filled with nostalgia.
But what she missed was not the Gu Manor, but the person who once killed Yan Bietian with a single finger in the Gu Manor and saved her from dire straits.
He then imparted his teachings to her, enabling her to obtain the Bright Jade Skill, which allowed her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
I just wonder how he is doing in Tian Qi City now, and whether his wish to Spreading the Way Across the World has been fulfilled?
I heard that he has become the Second Mister at the Academy.
He was ranked alongside Li Changsheng.
He could be considered to have achieved great success.
"That day, he shocked everyone with a single finger."
"Then I will respond with a single palm strike!"
Yan Liuli suppressed her sadness.
He gathered all his internal energy.
He leaped into the air.
His aura was no longer concealed; a surge of powerful true energy erupted, and his Dharma Aspect appeared behind him!
Instantly, the world changed color.
The wind sweeps away the clouds!
It was as if Yan Liuli was the only one left in the world.
"This... she's not in the Free Earth Realm, but in the Carefree Heaven Realm!"
"What? How is that possible! She's only been practicing martial arts for half a year!"
"She has truly entered the realm of carefree bliss, able to touch the heavens with her bare hands, seeing neither living beings nor the world itself. She has indeed entered the Carefree Heaven Realm!"
In mid-air.
Yan Liuli showed neither joy nor sorrow.
Everyone knows that her cultivation has progressed rapidly, but how could they know that she has been practicing day and night?
Little did she know that someone had imparted profound wisdom to her, from which she benefited immensely.
A palm strike landed.
Heaven and earth collapsed.
Gu Jianmen wanted to resist, but he was completely powerless to do so.
"Is this... the Carefree Heaven Realm?"
"I lost."
Gu Jianmen lowered his sword, admitting he was no match for him.
This showdown, which shocked the entire Southwest Dao, ultimately ended with Yan Liuli's victory!
Then, within a month...
The Yan and Gu Families joined forces and swept away all the martial arts forces in the Southwest Dao!
Unify the entire Southwest Dao!
From that Under Heaven, another force that could not be ignored emerged in the world!
Once everything has settled down.
The Yan Family.
Yan Liuli gazed at the countless stars in the sky.
He murmured:
"Wait a little longer... until I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."
"Then I will go to Tianqi to find you..."
The Southern Jue.
