Dongfang Muxue didn't care at all about the impact her words would have on others; she continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Xiao and said, word by word, "While my princess's residence may not be considered particularly powerful, it's not so powerful as to need to win over a shameless person like you."
"As for the distinguished guest that my men mentioned..."
She curled her lips into a mocking smile at Wang Xiao. Although she didn't say anything, Wang Xiao could clearly see the "you're not worthy" meaning in Dongfang Muxue's smile, and his face immediately darkened.
Why not ask yourself?
How could that be!
With the True Spirit Prince's Mansion holding such a high status, who else could the princess treat as a lifeline or a distinguished guest?
I am a genius from the Sword Ruins!
Who else but myself could do it?
However, Dongfang Muxue completely ignored his anger. Instead, she turned to look at Lin Xuan, who was still sitting in the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion, took a deep breath, and spoke solemnly.
"My name is Dongfang Muxue, and I request your assistance, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone followed Dongfang Muxue's gaze and looked at Lin Xuan.
Including Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao never expected that the distinguished guest Dongfang Muxue mentioned wasn't him, but someone else he had always looked down upon.
He was immediately annoyed, along with a deep disbelief, and looked at Lin Xuan with a cold sneer, "Him?"
"Him? Ha! Princess, even if you want to save face, you should pick a better person! What right does this mere ant at the Great Emperor Realm have to be called a distinguished guest above me?"
Others might not know, but Wang Xiao, who had spent some time with Lin Xuan, was very clear about Lin Xuan's background.
She's just someone the Ninth Princess brought from who-knows-where. Her cultivation level is only Great Emperor, and she's never had any real presence in the True Spirit Prince's Mansion. She's nowhere near as good as me, let alone worthy of being compared to me.
If it's true...
Those people in the princess's residence are truly blind!
The Eldest Imperial Prince glanced at Lin Xuan and immediately discerned Lin Xuan's cultivation level, and then sneered.
" Dongfang Muxue, are you out of your mind? Him? A mere Great Emperor Realm, and this is the trump card you've been hiding?"
His words were full of sarcasm.
Not only the Eldest Imperial Prince, but everyone else who saw Lin Xuan Lin Xuan observed his cultivation level also laughed at him for a while.
Half-Saint Realm are no match for the prodigies around the Eldest Imperial Prince.
The princess was so angry she lost her mind; she even wanted to drag the Great Emperor up to make up the numbers.
Doesn't she realize that this won't make her look better, but will actually make her lose even more embarrassingly?
The Eldest Imperial Prince thought the same thing, and he said sarcastically, "This kind of character... no matter where you put him, he's far too weak. Dongfang Muxue, in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions of our Divine Dynasty, there are countless geniuses under the age of fifty with this level of skill. You must have lost your mind from losing so much, right?"
He then looked Lin Xuan up and down.
Sensing Lin Xuan's unassuming aura and Lin Xuan calm expression—unchanged even after being mocked, showing no trace of the pride of a powerful figure— the Eldest Imperial Prince became even more certain of his suspicions.
He couldn't help but say, "Someone of your level shouldn't embarrass themselves in public."
Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao, who had already lost, could only manage a wry smile upon hearing this.
Neither of them had any intention of betraying Dongfang Muxue.
However... in their hearts, they also wondered, could it be that the princess was already planning to give up on herself? The two of them had entered the Dark Orchid Secret Realm Dark Orchid Secret Realm with Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan's behavior there was truly outrageous.
With his aptitude, he couldn't even improve in such a precious place, and now we're expecting him to turn the tide?
What unrealistic dreams are you having?!
However, despite the distrust and mocking looks from the crowd, Lin Xuan paid no attention to any of them and stepped forward, appearing directly on the arena.
This action startled everyone else.
They never expected that Lin Xuan, who was looked down upon like this, would still intend to go on stage.
Could it be that this person genuinely doesn't know how to write the word "lose"?
Let alone the Great Emperor Realm, the Eldest Imperial Prince's side has countless Ancient Emperor Half-Saint, and there is also a prodigy Xue Yan, who was able to defeat Ji Yanbai had already broken through to the Saint Realm.
What can a cultivator at the Great Emperor Realm do besides humiliate himself by stepping onto the stage at this moment?
The True Spirit Mansion Master shook his head helplessly.
Although he felt a slight sense of gratitude that Lin Xuan was actually willing to fight for the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion, he still felt that this wasn't the right way to participate in the war.
Unable to see their own position or their own strength, they led the True Spirit Prince's Mansion to become a laughing stock among the Sixteen Princes' Mansions ' Mansions!
He had seen that Lin Xuan had been in the Prince's mansion for so long without any major troubles, and thought that the other party knew how to advance and retreat. He didn't expect that he would actually dare to go up at this critical moment.
Based on his strength and realm Great Emperor, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will inevitably be suppressed by the Eldest Imperial Prince in the future.
really...
You're still too young.
As expected, the Eldest Imperial Prince's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw Lin Xuan dare to ignore his imposing aura and step onto the stage.
He had assumed that this unfamiliar cultivator would understand the current situation and, like Wang Xiao, would simply concede defeat and forfeit.
But to my surprise, the other side actually planned to fight!
It wasn't that he thought he would lose.
Rather, the fact that the other party still chose to go on stage after he had already made such a statement was undoubtedly a slap in the face for him!
In an instant, the Eldest Imperial Prince let out a cold laugh.
"They're absolutely courting death!"
He sat back down in his seat, staring coldly at Lin Xuan, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Since there are people on the stage, the calling of names must continue.
Even though this was a competition that no one expected.
"Match 11: Lin Xuan of the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion versus... Xue Yan of the Northern Dipper Prince's Mansion's Mansion!!"
The moment the names were announced, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Many who still remained loyal to Dongfang Muxue couldn't help but turn pale.
Lin Xuan, towards whom?
Xue Yan!?
Did they hear that right?
How could we possibly win!
This is a battle between the Great Emperor Realm and Saint Realm!
It's not even simply a matter of hopelessness...
They instinctively looked in the direction of the Eldest Imperial Prince, only to see Eldest Imperial Prince indifferently shift his gaze and fix it on Xue Yan.
The two exchanged a glance, making no attempt to hide it from anyone.
With victory already assured, the future ruler of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty will undoubtedly be the Eldest Imperial Prince. So why would he need to hide anything?
Therefore, everyone understood the meaning behind that look.
That is...
kill!
The Eldest Imperial Prince was very dissatisfied with Lin Xuan, this cultivator who suddenly appeared and embarrassed him.
He had only one requirement for Xue Yan: that he not allow the opponent to beg for mercy, but to completely crush him to death on the arena!
Surprisingly, no one was at all surprised by the decision made by the Eldest Imperial Prince.
Yes, there was only a faint pity.
There's no way...
The gap between the two sides is simply too large.
It was so great that they couldn't even muster a sliver of hope.
There was no way to believe that Lin Xuan could win.
I really don't know what the princess was thinking...
After already losing so many games, do they really want to send another person up to demonstrate the strength of the Eldest Imperial Prince's side?
Xue Yan received a look from the Eldest Imperial Prince and stood up from his seat.
Although he belonged to the Northern Dipper Prince's Mansion, he did not sit in the designated seat of the Northern Dipper Prince's Mansion. Even though the Northern Dipper Prince's Mansion was right next to the Eldest Imperial Prince, Xue Yan sat not far away from the Eldest Imperial Prince.
This is a privilege granted to him by the Eldest Imperial Prince because he values him highly.
Now, this nonchalant young man calmly stood up, staring straight at the stage, spitting out the grass root he had picked up from who-knows-where, and simply shook his head.
"Madness."
He gave his assessment of Lin Xuan in a casual manner.
Wang Xiao went down after admitting defeat.
He originally belonged to the True Spirit Prince's Mansion, but having committed such a treacherous act in public, he certainly cannot return to the True Spirit Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, he stood behind the Eldest Imperial Prince, coldly watching Lin Xuan step onto the arena, his eyes filled with only mockery.
Oh!
His dark eyes followed Lin Xuan intently; in his eyes and in his heart, there was only one thought.
That is, he's right here waiting to see!
Watch how Lin Xuan was easily and brutally killed by Xue Yan!
Of everyone present, not a single person thought Xue Yan would lose.
Xue Yan himself shared the same view.
After evaluating Lin Xuan, he went on stage and sensed Lin Xuan's cultivation level, which was indeed that of the Great Emperor Realm.
Does the princess really believe that someone at the Great Emperor Realm can defeat her?
This thought flashed through Xue Yan's mind, making him want to laugh.
" The Great Emperor Realm is too weak. Since you've come up here, you should know what your fate will be."
With a slightly condescending air, he looked at Lin Xuan and spoke, the coldness in his eyes undiminished.
Lin Xuan remained completely calm. Whether his opponent was Saint Realm expert or Ancient Emperor or Half-Saint, they were no different from ants to him now.
So he had no intention of explaining anything; he simply looked up at the young man standing opposite him.
In every sense, Xue Yan is indeed a prodigy; it's just a pity that the person he's facing now is Lin Xuan.
With no intention of wasting words, Lin Xuan lightly drew an arc in the air with his sword, his aura exploding instantly, Sword Intent whistling, and the entire world darkened in an instant.
The sudden change in circumstances left the audience stunned.
Almost instinctively, they thought, "Has Xue Yan become this terrifying?"
The opponent hadn't even used the slightest bit of strength before?
However, when they saw Xue Yan's ugly and incredulous expression on the stage, they belatedly realized something.
No...
It's not Xue Yan!
That Sword Intent that made the clouds change color and startled heaven and earth was actually unleashed by that Great Emperor!
One Sword strike, and everything is destroyed.
boom!
A chilling Sword Intent erupted, and the sharp Sword-Ray gave Xue Yan no chance to react. It directly collided with his protective Spiritual Power shield and broke through the shield in an instant, sending him flying off the arena!
Xue Yan didn't even have time to retaliate. He stared in astonishment at the Sword Qi that he could not resist, and the black and white fish hidden within the Sword Qi. The next second, he fell heavily to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
One Sword.
The outcome is already decided.
Xue Yan was defeated!
Not only was he defeated, but he was also seriously injured!
The young man in white on the stage looked at him indifferently, without saying much, and there was no joy on his face, only the same indifference as when he went on stage.
He spoke slowly, "Indeed, very weak."
These words were originally used by Xue Yan to describe him, but now, he completely returned them, hitting Xue Yan hard and causing Xue Yan's face to turn red, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
shock!
Everyone who witnessed this scene could not hide their shock. Many people were incredulous, and some even stood up from their seats, nearly rushing onto the stage.
They simply couldn't believe their eyes!
Such Sword Intent...
Such Sword Intent!
Almost everyone present could feel the terror in it.
This was also something they found particularly unbelievable.
Sword cultivator.
This young man in white is a pure sword cultivator!
Incomparable.
Regardless of whether it's Xue Yan or any of the sword-cultivating prodigies from the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, compared to this person, they're like children playing house, and even somewhat humiliating the swords of the person before them.
and...
Looking at this man's sword, they subconsciously thought of another One Sword...
Many of those present had been to the Dark Orchid Secret Realm before, and some were even there when the Lord of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty subdued the broken sword.
Although the broken sword was damaged, its power was still not to be underestimated. When they first tried to subdue it, many of them were seriously injured. It was only after entering the secret realm multiple times and waiting for the Sword Qi in the broken sword to completely dissipate that they were able to bring it out.
The Sword Qi that filled the entire Dark Orchid Secret Realm was none other than that broken sword.
Right now, the feeling that Lin Xuan's sword gave them was exactly the same as that of the broken sword that hadn't completely dissipated its Sword Qi!
This must have alarmed everyone.
You must know, that was the Sword Qi of a peerless sword immortal!
The Eldest Imperial Prince witnessed Xue Yan being knocked off the stage, severely injured and coughing up blood. He was terrified and stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock.
How could that be!
He stared intently at the sword in Lin Xuan's hand and at Lin Xuan himself, feeling the still sharp Sword Intent lingering in the air, and felt himself sinking into a deep unease.
Such a swordsman, such a swordsman... there is no one like him in the entire Taiyu Divine Dynasty!
Where on earth did Dongfang Muxue find such a monster?!
Wang Xiao, who was originally waiting to see a good show, was also stunned.
He stared blankly at the Sword Intent in the air.
His gaze gradually became lost in fascination.
sword.
The people of Sword Ruins spend their entire lives searching for their own sword.
He came from the Emotion-Extinguishing Sword Sect, Sword Heart was ruthless. Therefore, he never felt that there was anything wrong with what he did.
Because he wants to become stronger!
He wants to possess the strongest Sword Intent in the world!
Become the ultimate swordsman!
but...
Now, feeling Lin Xuan's sword, he suddenly felt as if something in his heart was slowly disintegrating.
That's my own...
Sword Heart!
However, he had no strength to stop it.
Because he knew very well that even if he spent his entire life trying, he probably still couldn't catch up to that level of Sword Intent...
Distinguished guest?
hehe...
hehe!
It turns out that what Dongfang Muxue said was true.
It turns out, I really am a complete buffoon...
regret!
I regret it so much!
