A Duel, with Demigod Artifacts as Stakes

Zhen Changsheng was surprised that before Lin Yi could even speak, Tongguan Prefecture Fuyi stepped forward and gave him a thorough dressing-down.

"Gu Chaokuang, you...!"

"What do you mean, you...? I think your Zhen Family is just like the Tai Shang Family, utterly shameless!"

The Tai Shang Lingyun inside the hall turned pale. It was one thing to scold the Zhen Family, but why drag their Tai Shang Family into it?

The Zun Sheng coughed, and the sound echoed in the hall.

"Ahem, I didn't gather you all here in the hall today to watch you argue."

At this moment, Qian Poqiong spoke up, "Your Zun Sheng, if we continue to try to smooth things over today, I'm afraid the Zhen Family patriarch will still clash with Tongguan Prefecture. In my opinion, it would be better to resolve this matter thoroughly while everyone is still here. After all, I also feel that Tongguan Prefecture has too many slots."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi glanced at Qian Poqiong.

Since he collaborated with Qian Wujiang multiple times, the Qian Family hasn't caused him much trouble.

Unexpectedly, the Qian Family has jumped out again today.

However, Qian Wujiang was ultimately only Eight-Realm Martial Saint, and he didn't have much say in the Qian Family.

Lin Yi Yizhi, the prefectural Prefecture Lord, has shielded him from enough firepower. His cheap master has remained silent throughout, so it's time for him to make his stance clear.

What do you want?

Qian Poqiong: "It's simple. We martial artists respect martial arts. The two of you will have a duel, and whoever wins will take the other's spot. However, you cannot use divine artifacts in this duel."

The red-haired Bu Huili Bu Hui Li: "I find this laughable, Qian Poqiong. Can you look in the mirror before you speak? You are so biased towards Zhen Changsheng. Could it be that you have received benefits from him?"

"Everyone knows that Brother Qin controls the Combined Tong Pass artifact, yet you forbid him from using it. Isn't that specifically targeting him?"

Inside the hall, other Nine-Realm Ancestor also spoke up, "Brother Qian's actions are indeed inappropriate. Martial arts competitions should be fair and reasonable. Moreover, Brother Zhen is a Ninth Realm Martial Saint. It would be inappropriate to prevent Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin from using the divine artifact."

"Gentlemen, your opinions don't count. Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin, what are your thoughts?"

Qian Poqiong looked at Lin Yi.

"We can compete, but Qin don't want to compete for the only prize: a spot in the Secret Realm Slot."

Qian Poqiong narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?"

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Since it was you, Elder Qian, who proposed this, why not use the Qian Family's Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead as the prize?"

Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead?

This is a renowned Demigod Artifact from the Ancient Domain, the treasure of the Qian Family family.

It is said that this Demigod Artifact has fused multiple ' Heaven and Earth Power ', and its complete power is comparable to that of Martial Dao Divine Artifact.

Everyone present showed curiosity, wanting to see if Qian Poqiong was willing to accept the challenge.

Qian Poqiong's expression stiffened slightly, and he softened his tone, asking, "If I take out the Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead, what will you offer as a prize?"

"How is this item?"

Lin Yi held a small, exquisite red stove in his palm.

It was Flame Lotus Separation Fire Furnace.

"What a magnificent fire-attribute Demigod Artifact! It's scorching hot, brimming with the power of the Fire Vein. Hmm? There seems to be another source of fire inside this furnace... What an ingenious design!"

Seeing Flame Lotus Separation Fire Furnace up close, the one who was most envious was not Qian Poqiong, but Bu Hui Li.

As Ninth Realm Martial Saint Ancestor Li Family, Bu Hui Li's skills in refining jade and weapon crafting were quite high.

He could tell at a glance that this Demigod Artifact furnace was no ordinary artifact; it was an extremely powerful Demigod Artifact that was perfectly suited to the ' Li Fire '.

Xun Hanfeng praised, "I've long heard that Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin used Demigod Artifact to beat two Envoy Demon God their heads exploded and they fled in terror. Now that I see it, this Demigod Artifact is indeed extraordinary!"

"Qian Poqiong, you're not going to restrict the use of Demigod Artifact again, are you?"

Qian Poqiong shook his head. "I certainly won't, but Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin, are you willing to give up this Demigod Artifact?"

Lin Yi said, "As long as Elder Qian can produce the Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl, I can offer this Demigod Artifact as a prize."

"Brother Qian, quickly agree! This is Demigod Artifact!"

Zhen Changsheng, who was standing to the side, urged him hurriedly.

It should be noted that even for Ninth Realm Martial Saint, Demigod Artifact is a rare find.

First of all, the materials required to craft a Demigod Artifact are very complex and require careful consideration of attribute combinations.

Secondly, there are very few master forgers in the Ancient Domain who can forge Demigod Artifact, or rather, in the last thousand years, no one in the Ancient Domain has forged a Demigod Artifact.

Even after the Li Family several times to collect multiple sets of Demigod Artifact materials, he still failed to refine them all.

Now, a Demigod Artifact is right in front of him. Even if it is a fire-attribute Demigod Artifact, it is enough to attract Zhen Changsheng.

However, Qian Poqiong did not readily agree.

How could he not care about the family's most precious treasure, the Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl?

Moreover, he could sense that Lin Yi in front of him seemed very confident.

Qian Poqiong privately transmitted his voice. "Brother Zhen, don't be anxious. How confident are you really?"

Zhen Changsheng said, "As long as that kid doesn't possess the Combined Tong Pass Artifact, I'm fully confident. Hmph, so what if he's Envoy Demon God? Their methods are completely different from ours as Ninth Realm Martial Saint. This kid thinks he can subdue Envoy Demon God, and therefore thinks we're no match for him. How laughable..."

Seeing that Qian Poqiong was still hesitant, Zhen Changsheng said, "Brother Qian, don't worry. If this battle is won, the Demigod Artifact will be mine, and the spot will be yours. How about it?"

"Okay, but you'll need to compensate me with some more Heavenly Power..."

"No problem..."

Soon, the two secretly discussed how to divide the benefits.

Qian Poqiong said, "Deputy Prefect Qin, since you are so confident, why don't I offer the Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl as a prize for this battle?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Alright, but I only fight when I see rare treasures."

"You just wait..."

After a moment, Qian Poqiong and brought out the so-called Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl.

The main color of this bead is a deep purplish-gold, like a mysterious nebula in the depths of the universe, and it can float freely in the air.

"What a treasure!"

Lin Yi praised it in his heart, feeling that even though he currently possessed many fragments of the power of heaven and earth and Drops Envoy-level Demon God, it would still be difficult to forge Demigod Artifact with ' Qian Heaven ' as its source.

This Demigod Artifact should rightfully belong to him.

Seeing that the two had agreed to the duel, Tai Shang Lingyun also took sides and said, "Since it's a prize, I don't think we should use this Furnace Demigod Artifact."

The Tai Shang Family and Lin Yi are at odds, so naturally they have to suppress them in the current situation.

Bu Hui Li frowned and said, "Nonsense, why not let Zhen Changsheng lower his cultivation level and suppress his realm to the Eight-Realm Martial Saint, and then compete with Deputy Prefect Qin?"

Tai Shang Lingyun smiled and said, "Brother Bu Hui, how can we, as Ninth Realm Martial Saint, suppress our own realm? Besides, I think Deputy Prefect Qin doesn't seem to care much. I suppose he can defeat Zhen Changsheng without even using Demigod Artifact."

Lin Yi glanced at Tai Shang Lingyun and said, "If you, Grand Supreme Ancestor, were to participate in the competition, I wouldn't need to use Demigod Artifact, how about that?"

"Hehe, never mind."

Tai Shang Lingyun shook his head.

In his opinion, only a reckless fool like Zhen Changsheng would dare to challenge an Eight-Realm Martial Saint in the Martial Saint Hall.

Winning is dishonorable, losing is shameful.

It's always a thankless task.

Moreover, he had a special small sword nurtured within his dantian, a sword with the ability to issue warnings.

Just now, when Lin Yi invited him to a duel, this sword trembled as a warning.
