Xue Yan's cold rebuke was like a slap across everyone's face.
In an instant, everyone felt a burning pain on their faces.
ridicule.
This is blatant mockery.
but...
They had no other options.
Strength is an insurmountable barrier that no one can overcome.
Xue Yan's strength and the resulting gap in skill left no room for anyone to refute him.
Even looking at that seemingly ordinary figure on the stage, many people felt extremely pessimistic.
We lost...
Almost everyone lost.
Ji Yanbai has already lost the Mansion Competition, and they have no one left to play.
Now, it can even be said that the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince have completely lost this game.
Losing the Mansion Competition isn't the most important thing.
Most importantly, from now on, it is likely that most of the Divine Dynasty's territory will fall under the control of the Eldest Imperial Prince.
Having demonstrated his strength and power this time, the Eldest Imperial Prince will surely gain more and more followers.
Because he has already proven himself.
The fact that the princess's residence lost this contest undoubtedly proved its weakness.
From now on, it seems that all the people in the princess's residence will be purged one by one.
Many clan leaders and sect leaders from neutral factions present were also itching to make a move as they watched this scene unfold.
They had not originally decided which side to belong to.
after all...
There are plenty of people who are undecided.
But now, the scales in their hearts have slowly tipped.
Xue Yan is simply too strong!
It could even be said that he is now fully qualified to be called the number one person in the current Taiyu Divine Dynasty!
With this person serving under the Eldest Imperial Prince, how can the Eldest Imperial Prince compare to him?
At this point, the Eldest Imperial Prince finally smiled.
He slowly turned his head, looked at Dongfang Muxue who had an extremely ugly expression, and chuckled, "It seems I've won this Mansion Competition?"
Although it was a question, there was no hesitation in the words, only certainty.
Xue Yan defeated Ji Yanbai.
In the Eldest Imperial Prince's view, he had already won this round.
So what if Dongfang Muxue is unwilling?
Does she have any capable people left to manage?
Thinking about it, the Eldest Imperial Prince couldn't help but sigh.
"We've been fighting for so many years, it's time for it to end."
Having said that, she said with feigned pity, "After this Mansion Competition is over, you can disband the princess's residence and dismiss all your retainers. Considering that we share the same blood, I can spare your life."
However, under his gaze, Dongfang Muxue slowly withdrew the unpleasant expression from her face, making no comment on his words. She simply glanced indifferently towards the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion and said softly, " The Mansion Competition is over? I doubt it."
She was indeed a bit taken aback.
after all...
Although she didn't place all her hopes on Ji Yanbai, how could she be in a good mood seeing him so easily defeated?
But just because she's in a bad mood doesn't mean she thinks she's going to lose!
The Eldest Imperial Prince followed Dongfang Muxue's gaze and saw the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion. He couldn't help but sneer.
" The True Spirit Prince's Mansion?"
Don't tell me you're still counting on them.
"What good is a royal palace that can't even retain a spot in the royal palace and doesn't even have Saint Realm member?"
The others in the princess's residence couldn't help but shake their heads and smile wryly.
The princess suddenly recruited another prince's household at the last minute of the Mansion Competition. How could they, as members of the princess's household, not care?
But that's the True Spirit Prince's Mansion...
Even without investigating, they knew perfectly well that the True Spirit Prince's Mansion was facing disbandment this time.
It can be described as extremely weak.
A quick search revealed that the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's fighting force this time consisted of a prodigy they had brought from the Sword Ruins at great expense in order to avoid being expelled from the ranks of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions and to preserve their ranking.
However, that prodigy was merely Half-Saint!
In the current situation, what use could Half-Saint possibly be?
At most, we'll win one or two games, just to prevent the outcome from becoming too ugly...
But how could he possibly hold out until the end?
At that moment, the roll call began again.
"Match 10: Wang Xiao the True Spirit Prince's Mansion versus Jiang Yuan of the Profound Ancient Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of everyone in the princess's residence.
Jiang Yuan of the Profound Ancient Prince's Mansion!
Compared to Xue Yan's great reputation, Jiang Yuan, though he also has some fame, is simply not enough to compare.
Most importantly, it's Jiang Yuan's realm of cultivation!
It is said that Jiang Yuan was merely Late-Stage Ancient Emperor.
He is still quite far from being Half-Saint.
In an instant, everyone's expressions warmed up considerably, and their eyes showed relief.
Thank goodness, it was Jiang Yuan I ran into.
This match is almost certainly going to be won.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for the princess's residence to not win a single game!
The True Spirit Mansion Master was also experiencing complex emotions at this moment.
He never imagined that, having already latched onto the princess's coattails, and just as he was starting to feel a little better and hopeful, the princess's residence would suffer a complete defeat.
But it's alright.
If Wang Xiao can win this match, their True Spirit Prince's Mansion's ranking will be secured.
As for the princess's residence... that was beyond his control.
However, as long as the Prince's Palace still has a place, there is still room for things to turn around.
As for whether Wang Xiao can win?
The True Spirit Mansion Master wasn't too worried.
Jiang Yuan didn't have much intelligence, but he wasn't completely without it either. The Profound Ancient Prince's Mansion was near the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, and he happened to obtain information about this person while gathering intelligence.
What is certain is that Jiang Yuan's realm is truly only at the Ancient Emperor.
There were no problems.
Wang Xiao, as a prodigy of the Sword Ruins, is by no means ordinary.
He will surely be able to defeat Jiang Yuan and stabilize the declining situation of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion.
The True Spirit Mansion Master's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao was facing off against Jiang Yuan.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
Xia Huanchao, the youngest son of the True Spirit Mansion Master, looked at Wang Xiao with adoration.
In his opinion, Brother Wang is the most amazing!
Brother Wang will definitely win this match and maintain the status of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion.
While watching, he would occasionally glance at Lin Xuan.
Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Seventh Senior Brother's failure was just an accident.
But Brother Wang is a prodigy from Sword Ruins, and he will definitely not repeat the same mistake!
Under the eager gaze of everyone in the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, Wang Xiao walked step by step onto the arena.
Opposite them was Jiang Yuan from the Profound Ancient Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Yuan looked somewhat gloomy, with narrow eyebrows and eyes. He stood quietly on the arena, squinting at Wang Xiao opposite him.
The style of Sword Ruins is completely different from that of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
Wang Xiao comes from the Emotion-Extinguishing Sword Sect, and at this moment he represents the True Spirit Prince's Mansion. Therefore, he is not wearing the Emotion-Extinguishing Sword Sect's robes, but one can still see the intense Sword Intent emanating from him.
With his Half-Saint- level cultivation stable, compared to Jiang Yuan's Ancient Emperor cultivation level, it was indeed no surprise that he was guaranteed to win.
but...
Accidents often happen at this time.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Xiao suddenly smiled and then spoke.
I surrender.
