Even after defeating Ming Shou, the Your Highness Sixty-Four did not leave but continued to wait.
I hope that Lianxin, the person who challenged me to this duel, will show up and fight him.
But to his and everyone else's disappointment...
Even as the sun was about to set, Lianxin still hadn't appeared to fight.
Everyone was deeply disappointed and utterly astonished.
Lianxin...
Lianxin, in the end, still didn't come.
The Your Highness Sixty-Four's face turned cold, and a kind of anger at being fooled surged in his heart.
He spoke coldly, "Truly... disappointing!"
"I thought that Lianxin, who was able to kill my sixty-fifth brother, must have some strength. Now it seems that I overestimated her."
"Perhaps she didn't defeat or kill my brother through strength, but rather through some underhanded means. Hmph... That makes sense. With your inferior race, it's unlikely you could defeat my royal prodigy in a direct confrontation."
After saying that, the Your Highness Sixty-Four gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He was laughing because he had overthought things.
Previously, I actually believed that Lianxin had killed the sixty-fifth brother through sheer strength.
The Human Race cultivators, especially those from the Profound Alliance, wanted to defend Lianxin, but since Lianxin herself wasn't present and had directly backed down, any explanations or reasons they gave would be futile.
Even some Human Race cultivators—especially those from the Ancient Alliance —felt doubts and couldn't help but question the existence of doubts.
Lianxin...
Did she truly kill the Your Highness Sixty-Five through her own strength?
The strength of the Alien Race royal family was just witnessed by everyone.
Its strength is such that it is far beyond the reach of ordinary geniuses.
Even the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Realm, whom their Ancient Alliance was so proud of, could not escape being defeated in two moves when facing the Alien Race royal family ranked sixty-fourth.
This level of strength is truly terrifying!
Such a terrifying prodigy... it's extremely difficult to even withstand a few moves from him, let alone defeat or kill him...
It wasn't that they didn't believe Lianxin was strong enough, but rather that the Your Highness Sixty-Four's strength was simply too great, so great that he easily crushed the ambitions of some of the geniuses present; he was ridiculously strong.
In an instant, a thought gradually took shape in everyone's minds.
"Perhaps, Lianxin really did use some other means to kill the Your Highness Sixty-Five..."
"Otherwise, anyone with a modicum of backbone wouldn't choose to cower like a coward at this crucial moment."
They waited until nightfall, until the Your Highness Sixty-Four's face turned ashen, but neither the Human Race nor the Alien Race could wait for Lianxin to arrive.
Naturally, this challenge...
That's the only way it can end...
Even though Lianxin didn't participate in the battle, the story of this battle, spread by those with ulterior motives, still caused a huge uproar in the Profound Domain.
However, these waves, these surges, were crashing down on the faces of the people of the Profound Domain.
The battle with the Your Highness Sixty-Five brought shame to the entire Profound Domain, especially to the cultivators of the Ancient Alliance.
After all, the cultivators of the Ancient Alliance were the ones who boasted the most and jumped the gun the most.
They were saying something about how their Ancient Alliance's prodigies hadn't yet emerged, and that once they did, the Alien Race royal families would be no match for them...
However, reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.
Ming Shou, hailed as one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Alliance and considered one of the top geniuses, suffered a crushing defeat in his battle against the Your Highness Sixty-Five!
This battle was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, rudely waking the Ancient Alliance cultivators from their beautiful dreams.
This also made everyone realize something, albeit with difficulty and resentment.
Alien Race royal family...
They are far more powerful than they imagined!
Even their last trump card, Ming Shou, one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Alliance, was defeated by the Your Highness Sixty-Five of the opposing side. Moreover, to put it bluntly, he was defeated in one move!
This was unacceptable to countless cultivators of the Ancient Alliance; their faces were like a spilled palette, a riot of colors.
how so!
How could this be!
The heavy blow was like a sledgehammer, slamming into the Ancient Alliance cultivator's crown chakra.
For a moment, when they clashed with the Profound Alliance cultivators again, their voices were not as loud, and their attitudes were not as arrogant as before.
but.
After a brief period of rest and recuperation, the Ancient Alliance cultivators returned with a heavy dose of skepticism.
If the Alien Race royal family is so powerful that even Ming Shou, one of the Ten Heroes of the Ancient Alliance, lost, how did Lianxin, who holds the top spot on the Earth Ranking, manage to defeat Alien Race?
It should be noted that Ming Shou is a descendant of Emperor Ming, with Emperor Blood flowing through his veins. His ability to stand out among all the imperial clans is enough to prove that he is no ordinary prodigy.
What is the basis for this Lianxin?
If she truly is a peerless genius, why doesn't she dare to accept the challenge?
Is it because the methods she used to kill the Your Highness Sixty-Five were not honorable?
The various comments, like mosquitoes buzzing in the ears, were extremely bothersome to the Profound Alliance cultivators, who were both annoyed but helpless.
No matter how harsh or unpleasant the words of the Ancient Alliance cultivators may be, there is one thing they are right about.
That is to say, several days have passed since the Your Highness Sixty-Five challenged him to a duel, and Lianxin... still has not shown up.
They didn't even show up, let alone utter a sound.
It's as if this person doesn't exist in this world at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the jade talisman issued by the Great Emperor Treasury couldn't be faked, and that the War Merit Ranking wasn't determined by human assessment, they would now doubt whether there really was such a person as Lianxin in this world.
But only two people never doubted it.
These two were the two Mystic Ranking prodigies who witnessed Su Lianxin killing the Your Highness Sixty-Five.
One of them appeared somewhat simple-minded, but was a troublemaker and skilled with double hammers.
One of them was tall and handsome, with a penchant for green robes—he was also the one who was severely injured by the Your Highness Sixty-Five's punch.
After returning to their sect, the two of them did not leave again, since the green-robed youth had suffered considerable injuries and recuperating was the most important thing.
At this moment, the two were in a tavern at the foot of the sect's mountain, facing a table full of dazzling Spirit Cuisine. After listening to the chattering around them and trying to figure out what the other people were talking about, they looked at each other at the same time.
The two looked at each other, instinctively pursing their lips.
The people at the next table were still chatting and boasting, saying things like:
"If you ask me, that Lianxin definitely didn't get to the top of the Earth Ranking through legitimate means."
"Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare show yourself and fight?"
"They must have used some underhanded methods to kill the Your Highness Sixty-Five! Hmph... Let's not even mention those underhanded methods!"
Everyone at the table was extremely convinced by his statement, and even cheered him on.
It was as if they had witnessed with their own eyes how Lianxin had used some dishonorable method to kill the Your Highness Sixty-Five.
The green-robed youth withdrew his gaze, listened to the surrounding doubts and condemnations against Su Lianxin, exchanged a glance with his companion, and sneered inwardly.
Do you think you're worthy of being called a cultivator by mere words and wild speculations?
What a bunch of idiots!
Being led by the nose by someone with ulterior motives!
The young man in the green robe rolled his eyes as he listened to the increasingly offensive comments.
Although he didn't know why Su Lianxin hadn't come.
But he believed she must have her reasons!
Even if she had faced the Your Highness Sixty-Four that day, she would not have been the one to lose.
