Ji Yunshang's words caused an uproar throughout the venue. She actually knew Bai Yu?
When had that happened? No one had ever heard of it.
And now, Ji Yunshang had actually agreed to Bai Yu's outrageous demand, allowing Lu Youruo and Shu Lichuo to directly challenge the Royal Court's clan elders and Jiang Tangbo!
Wasn't the outcome of such a match obvious before it even began?
In other words, for Ji Yunshang's sake, Bai Yu had given the Soaring Sky Dynasty and the Jiang Family a way out?
The River-Subduing King and Jiang Tangbo exchanged glances, both clearly finding it hard to believe.
"Since that is the case, let this be considered a sparring match. We have no intention of becoming enemies with the Myriad Treasures Sect or Master Bai. Regardless of the outcome, the compensation the Jiang Family previously promised will be delivered in full."
The River-Subduing King sized Ji Yunshang up and down. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"Hehe, naturally. I have never gone back on my word. Besides, my friendship with the Empress Dowager is right here for all to see."
Bai Yu smiled faintly, his tone becoming much more easygoing.
"Then let us fight beyond the heavens."
Lu Youruo had no interest in their words. After coldly tossing out that sentence, her figure vanished from where she stood.
Seeing this, the River-Subduing King, the Dragon River King, and Jiang Tangbo exchanged looks. They then transformed into streaks of radiant light, carrying monstrous pressure as they instantly arrived in the skies.
The moment the three had steadied themselves, waves of terrifying sword intent had already locked onto them.
Shu Lichuo stepped forward as well, closing in on the three almost in an instant.
Countless eyes between heaven and earth stared fixedly at the sky
