After resting for about two days, the three set off together.

"Goodbye, Master's Wife (Aunt Huang)!" x3

"Goodbye, be careful!" Yi Huang said with a smile, then realized with a start that her mindset seemed to have aged, and she was actually talking to the younger generation like an old woman.

Meanwhile, after a long and tedious journey, Xiao Wu and his two companions finally arrived at the ancient and Ancient Saint City in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains, a city steeped in history and imposing with a profound sense of grandeur.

Feeling the faint pressure emanating from the majestic city in the distance, even Xiao Wu, a rather impulsive guy, subconsciously lowered his posture.

"Damn, this Ancient Saint City truly lives up to its reputation as the junction between the Ancient Realm and the outside world!" Passing through the transparent protective barrier outside the Ancient Saint City, Xiao Wu observed the seemingly decaying yet ancient city with some amazement, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"Hmm." Ye Shenghan nodded in agreement with Xiao Wu's statement, while Xin'er, the little tail behind them, looked around with curious eyes.

"The guests here are all quite powerful!" Ye Shenghan was somewhat surprised as he sensed the auras emanating from the many invited guests passing by. Such powerful individuals were rarely seen in the outside world!

"Hey, that's perfectly normal! After all, they're Gu Clan." Xiao Wu accepted it quite well. A force that could receive an invitation from such a powerful Gu Clan Ancient Races was not to be taken lightly.

The Central Plains is a land where hidden talents abound, so the existence of these relatively secretive powerful individuals is not incomprehensible.

"That's true." Ye Shenghan nodded in agreement.

However, while they were marveling at these powerful individuals, the others were also watching the three in shock.

"How is this possible? These kids are stronger than I think!" one of the experts exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, could this be a disciple of another Ancient Races?" another person said curiously.

"How could that be? Every Ancient Races has its own symbols. How could they be so arbitrary?" The objector pointed to the Three Little Ones' completely different outfits.

"..."

Immediately, the three people around Ye Shenghan began to discuss the matter.

It's not that they lack experience; it's just that Xiao Wu and the others are too young. In terms of strength, although the three of them are strong, they haven't reached an amazing level yet. There are more than ten people stronger than them among the crowd present.

But when you combine that with the ages of the people involved, it's enough to show how terrifying the other party is.

They all have good eyesight; they can tell at a glance whether an old monster is pretending to be young or is genuinely young. Xiao Wu and his two companions were clearly the latter.

However, among those present with their strength, who wasn't a senior figure in the Cultivation World? They looked young despite being middle-aged, and many already had long beards.

And these three...

Everyone shook their heads helplessly and remained silent. Comparison is the thief of joy!

At this moment, someone recognized Ye Shenghan and his companions, and said with slight surprise, "Aren't they the successors of those high-ranking members of the Langya Pavilion?"

His words caused an uproar.

"Langya Pavilion?"

"I see."

It must be said that even though it has always kept a low profile, Langya Pavilion still has a very strong reputation.

Their achievement of destroying the Heavenly Underworld Sect more than ten years ago was too glorious. Although they haven't made any major moves since then, their influence still exists.

After the news of Xiao Han's ascension to sainthood spread, many forces began to conduct a detailed investigation of the Langya Pavilion, and some more naive children even went to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to buy information.

Ultimately, considering the strength that Langya Pavilion had demonstrated in its Heavenly Underworld Sect, they had a very deep impression of the former—powerful.

At least their power is incomparable.

Everyone considered Xiao Han and his two companions from the Langya Pavilion to be exceptionally talented. But that belonged to the previous generation; the appearance of Xiao Wu and his two companions...

"The Langya Pavilion has a worthy successor!" one of the powerful figures exclaimed with emotion.

Although Xin'er belongs to the Sound Valley, Ye Shenghan and Xiao Wu are both pure disciples of the Langya Pavilion. Either of them can become a pillar of the organization, which is undoubtedly a stroke of luck for the Langya Pavilion.

However, these events only occurred in a very short period of time, and no one paid much attention to them. The important thing today was to go into the city.

"Brother Ye, who do you think is stronger Black Annihilation Army of the Gu Clan or our Langya Guard?" Looking at the Black Annihilation Army at the city gate, whose auras were powerful and long, whose appearances were solemn and who exuded a fierce aura, Xiao Wu, who was obediently queuing up, couldn't help but ask this question.

"The Black Annihilation Army is definitely stronger overall." Ye Shenghan was very aware of the gap between the two, after all, the controller and commander of the Langya Guard was his father, Ye Jianxin.

The Black Annihilation Army is a flagship legion of the Gu Clan, and the Langya Guard cannot compare to it. The difference in numbers alone is enormous.

But...

"But in battles between equals, the Langya Guard will not lose," Ye Shenghan said confidently.

The selection and training of the Langya Guard are extremely rigorous, and the resources invested are enormous. To say that anyone has been through countless battles is an insult to them. In a battle between equals, Ye Shenghan does not believe that the Langya Guard are inferior to others.

Ye Shenghan's opinion was understandable, but coincidentally, a Black Annihilation Army Commander overheard these seemingly arrogant words and was quite disdainful.

"Hmph, how dare they claim to be on par with the Black Annihilation Army and remain undefeated? They're utterly ignorant of their own limitations." The three heard a cold snort coming from behind them.

Turning around, they saw a figure clad in silver armor glaring at them, followed by dozens of menacing-looking members of the Black Annihilation Army.

"Oh no!" Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. Being caught talking about someone behind their back was really going to make things difficult!

"May I ask your name?" But Ye Shenghan was oblivious to this and instead asked coldly.

"Are you provoking my Black Annihilation Army?" Ye Shenghan's tone, which was extremely likely to provoke hatred, irritated the valiant warrior.

"No. I'm just telling the truth..." Before Ye Shenghan could finish speaking, Xiao Wu nervously covered his mouth. "Big brother, please don't say any more."

Xiao Wu was in great pain, thinking, "This is so hard for me."

Of the three who arrived, only Xiao Wu had relatively good communication skills; the other two, well...

Forget it!

"I'm sorry, my friend. That's just how my senior brother is. He treats everyone the same way. Please don't take offense!" Xiao Wu apologized repeatedly to the person in front of him. Even his teacher had never done anything like this, confronting someone on their own turf.

"Hmm?" The Silver Armored Giant glanced at Ye Shenghan, whose expression had remained unchanged, and began to believe Xiao Wu's words; this guy seemed to be expressionless.

But...

"What did he mean by that? Can I take it as him looking down on my Gu Clan's Black Annihilation Army?"

He wasn't going to let Ye Shenghan and the others get away with it so easily; he still remembered their arrogant remarks.

"This..." Xiao Wu was in a dilemma. In front of everyone, he couldn't agree with Ye Shenghan's words. Wouldn't that be slapping Ye Shenghan in the face?

But it was absolutely impossible to make him submit to anyone, which put him in a dilemma. Meanwhile, the crowd waiting in line to enter the city noticed the unusual situation and cast curious glances their way.

And then... a troublemaker appeared.

"I want to fight you." Xiao Wu was going crazy. Big brother, are you kidding me? He looked at Ye Shenghan with a resentful expression, while mentally banging his hands a few times. Why did he let go?!

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Yin Xin, "Senior Sister, why didn't you stop him?"

Yin Xin smiled without saying a word, leaving Xiao Wu feeling helpless.

"Oh?" The Silver Armored Giant stared intently at Ye Shenghan. His slightly taller stature made him extremely imposing, but Ye Shenghan remained expressionless as he met his gaze.

Just as Xiao Wu was trembling with fear, thinking a fight was about to break out on the spot, the Silver Armored Giant spoke up, "Good lad, you are the first outsider who dares to challenge me, I accept."

Remember my name, Gu Yue. Go into town and wait!

Although he was very angry, Gu Yue did not forget his job. The other party was a guest, and as a member of the Gu Clan, he had to treat him with courtesy.

Whatever grievances we have, let's settle them in the arena. We'll make sure this arrogant guy experiences the power of the Black Annihilation Army.

After saying that, Gu Yue left in a huff.

"Ye Shenghan, do you have to be so impulsive?" Xiao Wu angrily transmitted her voice to a certain expressionless man, even changing her way of addressing him.

Didn't his wife say he was steady and reliable? Steady and reliable my foot! Now look what's happened, he's offended her right away, how is he supposed to get along for the next few days?

"I did it on purpose," Ye Shenghan said indifferently, glancing at Xiao Wu, whose anger was rising.

Um?

"What do you mean?" Xiao Wu asked curiously. So this person was pretending to be blind today because they were so oblivious!

"This is the fastest way to challenge the strong."

"Hehe~" Xiao Wu was speechless. This was indeed very fast. First offend someone, then provoke trouble. Wouldn't it be easy to get into a fight with someone?

"You win. I'll never go out with you again." Seeing that it was almost their turn in the line, Xiao Wu ended the conversation.

"Brother, could you please stop looking at me like that?" Xiao Wu, feeling a bit intimidated by the cannibalistic gaze of a Black Annihilation Army, couldn't help but speak up to him.

"Hmph." Fortunately, no accidents occurred, and they entered the city safely.

"Phew~"

Following the Black Annihilation Army were leading the way, Xiao Wu and his two companions arrived at their residence. As soon as they sat down, Xiao Wu let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to calm down.

With so many piercing stares, heaven knows how much he suffered. And then...

I glanced at the two people sitting quietly—they were acting like it was none of my business. What did I do wrong?

Then...

"Now, please welcome Gu Yue, the Third Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, Ye Shenghan the Langya Pavilion to the arena for a duel."

Xiao Wu listened to the host's announcement from below in despair.
