Since your City Lord's Mansion is not participating, it doesn't matter whether you wait or not." The second Bai Family Elder sneered after hearing Feng Wuji, not putting Feng Wuji in his eyes at all.
"Hmph!" Feng Wuji let out a cold snort. At the same time, the aura of a martial artist at the half-step Immortal King Realm spread out, enveloping the people from Bai Family. "Don't think that you can act so arrogantly in front of me just because someone powerful is backing you.
"You…"
Feeling Feng Wuji's powerful aura, expression of the second Elder of the Bai Family changed. As for the disciples of the Bai Family behind him, all of their faces were pale and their bodies began to tremble.
"Bai Family, that's all you have." Feng Wuji retracted the pressure and smiled faintly.
The second Elder of the Bai Family, Bai Ming snorted coldly and did not say a word. Because what he said was the truth. The strength that Feng Wuji had just displayed in his Blue Wind City, perhaps only the Supreme Elder of their Bai Family could match him.
Feng Wuji was only one of the many dukes of the Golden Kingdom's Imperial Family. If every one of them had the same strength as Feng Wuji, then wanting to exterminate their Bai Family or perhaps even the Snow Cold Palace would be an easy matter.
Feng Wuji noticed the change in Bai Ming's expression and sneered in his heart. He continued to speak, "In this competition of Nature's Chakra, my City Lord's Mansion will also participate."
"City Lord, I think you should know the rules of the Nature's Chakra competition." The head of the Mo family and the person in charge of the Mu Family frowned and said. No one dared to underestimate the power of City Lord's Mansion. Although it had always been very low-key, everyone was very clear on the strength of City Lord's Mansion. Now, the City Lord's Mansion was finally going to reveal its fangs?
"Of course I know that. You can be at ease, I will naturally abide by the rules." Feng Wuji swept his gaze across the three people and walked to the side, revealing Ye Xiao who was behind him. He said: "This little brother is our City Lord's Mansion's contestant."
"It is him…"
"It is you…"
Several members of the three great forces opened their eyes wide as they shouted out at the same time.
"What is it? Mu Rong, do you know him?" The person in charge of Mu Family, Mu Yi, looked towards the youth beside him and said.
"Second Elder, he is the youth that killed Bai Shan." Mu Rong's face twitched when he saw Ye Xiao's gaze looking at him. He still had some lingering fear in his heart as he said this. That day at Floating Fragrance Restaurant, the prowess that Ye Xiao showed was truly stunning. It was not easy to forget that scene.
"It is actually him. It looks like this time City Lord's Mansion has already decided to must obtain the qualifications to enter the Nature's Chakra." Mu Yi said thoughtfully but his gaze was on Bai Family at the side.
To put it nicely, this competition for Nature's Chakra was a battle between the three great clans. However, everyone was clear that the final victor was already decided.
With the help of Snow Cold Palace, the strength of the Bai Family's younger generation had long been overthrown by the Blue Wind City of many other forces. And this time, the reason why Feng Wuji invited Ye Xiao was very clear. It was to tell Bai Family that I, Feng Wuji, dislike the likes of you.
"Men, seize this villain." Bai Ming stared at Ye Xiao with a cold glint in his eyes and said to the group of Martial Artists of the Bai family.
In a split second, more than ten figures flew out from the Bai Family area, grabbing towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's expression was calm as if he did not see the dozen or so martial artists that were attacking him.
"Hmph."
A cold snort rang out, as after seeing the gesture of Feng Wuji, the warriors of City Lord Mansion dashed forward to counter-attack. Both sides fought before quickly separating. The City Lord's Mansion's men steadily stood on the ground while the Bai Family's people all lied down on the ground with pale faces. It was clear that they had suffered quite a bit from the previous clash.
"City Lord, what do you mean by this?" Bai Ming's face was extremely gloomy.
"This little brother is currently a guest of my City Lord's Mansion and he has come here to represent me in the competition. So I naturally have the right to protect him." Feng Wuji said indifferently.
"City Lord, this kid killed more than ten of my Bai Family's men. My Bai Family must kill him." Bai Ming enunciated each word coldly.
Feng Wuji smiled lightly: "You guys from the Bai Family should be asking for it. After the death of your men, you can't blame anyone else. Today, with me here, none of you can touch him. "
"You…" Bai Ming looked at Feng Wuji. His face was green with anger but there was nothing he could do. Their Bai Family was indeed the strongest amongst them, but Feng Wuji was able to use his City Lord's Mansion to mobilize the city's defense troops which was an army of over ten thousand people. If they were to crush their Bai Family, their Bai Family would be destroyed in an instant.
"Humph! I'll let this little bastard be proud for a while. I don't believe that City Lord can protect him for the rest of his life."
Bai Ming glared at Ye Xiao and retracted his gaze unwillingly.
"I don't think your two families have any objections either." Feng Wuji narrowed his eyes and said towards Mu Family and the Mo family.
"Nope." Mo Li and Mu Yi shook their heads. To be able to see their Bai Family deflated was better than anything else. Besides, if the place to enter Nature's Chakra was taken by City Lord's Mansion, it would be much better than Bai Family.
After all, City Lord's Mansion didn't have the ambition to dominate Blue Wind City. And this Bai Family, on the other hand, was so ambitious that it even wholeheartedly wanted to annex the two great families, turning the Mo and Mu Family into a subordinate clan of the Bai Family.
"Can we start now?" Bai Ming said with a dark expression.
"Mm, let's begin." Feng Wuji said indifferently as he sat in his seat.
As the crowd below watched the Blue Wind City four forces gathered together, they also instantly went into an uproar.
"Come, let's bet. Let's see which family's genius will win this bet." Outside the crowd, a group of fellows had long since set up a gambling house. This was practically a gamble that would definitely happen in every Nature's Chakra competition.
Bai Family's odd was 1:1. The odd of the Mo Family and the Mu Family was 1: 8 while City Lord's Mansion was a little outrageous, 1: 50. Other than Bai Family, the other two great families had participated in the competition for Nature's Chakra before. Only City Lord's Mansion had not participated in this. So no one ever betted on the City Lord's Mansion.
And this time also, almost no one has confidence on the City Lord's Ma
Mansion so everyone had put their bets on the Bai Family. Even the people of the Mo and Mu Family had put their bets on the Bai Family.
As for placing bets on the City Lord's Mansion, no one placed their bets on the City Lord's Mansion.
But at this moment, a voice, that surprised the audience, sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
"Come on, I'll bet on City Lord's Mansion. One million High Grade Spirit Stones." A middle-aged scholar walked over and directly betted three thousand High Grade Spirit Stones on the City Lord's Mansion.
This middle-aged scholar was City Lord's Mansion's aide and was also Feng Wuji's right-hand man, Li Shang. A look of helplessness appeared on his face. He naturally did not want to participate in this gamble. However, after City Lord's daughter's continuous insistence, he helplessly came to bet on City Lord's Mansion, hoping for Ye Xiao to win.
[Author's Note:- Although this is the Upper Realm and there are Immortal Stones here, it didn't mean that Spirit Stones are useless. High Grade Spirit Stones are used as common currency in small cities. As for Spirit Stones below High Grade, they were of no use. Kids play with them!
Even for the cultivation of seven levels of Mortal Realm, people of the Upper Realm only use High Grade Spirit Stones. There is simply no use of Middle Grade or Low Grade Spirit Stones in the Upper Realm!]
Hua!"
The moment a bet was placed on the City Lord's Mansion to win, the entire audience went into an uproar. They clearly did not expect that someone would actually bet on the City Lord's Mansion to win and that someone would actually bet a million High Grade Spirit Stones.
"Sir, are you sure?" The boss of the gambling house gulped and said with greed in his eyes. One million High Grade Spirit Stones, this amount was an enormous sum for a person to have in a city like the Blue Wind City. This was definitely a large amount of income.
"Alright, sir." The boss of the gambling house quickly put away the spirit stones and signalled the waiter to record the money.
As far as he was concerned, this middle-aged scholar was giving him money.
Without a doubt, the Bai Family which had the support of Snow Cold Palace, was obviously the most powerful competitor this time and even had a ninety-nine percent chance of obtaining a victory.
The few disciples participating in the competition from the Bai Family were all disciples of Snow Cold Palace and three disciples had already broken through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
How could Feng Wuji trust Ye Xiao so much?
"City Lord, it is better if you announce it."
Mo Li and Mu Yi looked at each other for a moment before speaking to Feng Wuji at the same time. Although they were from the Blue Wind City's three great families and the Bai Family was a giant existence, but this Blue Wind City's nominal big boss was still City Lord Feng Wuji.
In the past, it had always been announced by Feng Wuji that the competition would begin.
After looking at the crowd, Feng Wuji smiled and then said in a clear voice: "Today is the competition for the Nature's Chakra that occurs once every three years, and at the same time, it is also the days of the young generation of Blue Wind City displaying their elegance. However, I will first announce something, if anyone dares to disturb us today, don't blame me for being rude."
As Feng Wuji finished speaking, he intentionally swept his eyes over the people of the Bai Family. Bai Ming noticed Feng Wuji's gaze and snorted coldly.
"Alright, I won't waste any more time. Let's have the young geniuses of our Blue Wind City enter the stage. " After Feng Wuji finished speaking, he sat down and nodded to the other heads. Afterwards, the young talents of the four noble families started to walk towards the arena.
At the same time, Ye Xiao also lightly stepped onto the stage.
This time, there were 17 people on the stage. The Mo family and the Mu Family sent four people while the City Lord's Mansion sent eight people. The City Lord's Mansion only sent one person, Ye Xiao.
I believe that everyone is clear about the rules of the Competition for the Nature's Chakra, so I won't say much." An old man walked onto the stage and swept his gaze across the three great clans. Afterwards, his gaze landed on the seventeen young talents on the platform.
The old man's name was Wu Xiu and he did not belong to any of the three great families, nor did he belong to the City Lord's Mansion. So, he was chosen as the referee of this competition.
This old man usually looked amiable but the older generation all knew that this guy was definitely a vengeful person. Ten years ago, there was a large clan within which an expert of the Immortal King Realm was born.
However, who knows how he offended Wu Xiu, in the end, all of the strong martial artists at the Immortal Lord Realm of that clan were killed overnight. Not a single one was left alive. The others also hurriedly ran away. A large clan had turned into ashes overnight. Even that Immortal King Realm expert ran away.
It is said that Wu Xin's strength was unfathomable. Not even the City Lord Feng Wuji could rival Wu Xin in terms of cultivation and strength.
Every year, whenever the competition for the Nature's Chakra was organized, Wu Xin would come on his own to be the referee and no one dares to refuse him, not even the Bai Family.
"Alright, there are lots to decide which one of you is not going to fight." Wu Xiu waved his shrivelled hand and a bamboo stick that he prepared beforehand appeared.
Originally, these bamboo sticks had been useless. However, this time, Ye Xiao's appearance had resulted in an imbalance in numbers. Therefore, they could only draw lots to determine who would be spared from fighting an opponent.
The drawing of lots for the seventeen people quickly finished. A person from the Bai Family directly drew the no-fighting lot and directly advanced to the next round of battles.
"Alright, you can go now." The old man glanced at Ye Xiao and said.
"Yes." After drawing his lot, he returned to the area allocated to the City Lord's Mansion.
For some reason, Ye Xiao could feel a dangerous vibe coming from Wu Jin. Ye Xiao could clearly sense with the help of his Divine Sense that Wu Xin's cultivation was at least at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
With this kind of cultivation base, he could have easily rule over any second level sect like the Snow Cold Palace and the Dragon Immortal Sect but for some reason, he chose to stay in a small city like the Blue Wind City where there was not even a single Immortal King Realm martial artist.
The first battle was between the Mo family's Mo Feng and Bai Family's Bai Hai. The younger disciples of the Mo and Mu Family added up were coincidentally the same as the number of people sent by the Bai Family. Thus, it had almost already become a habit for the Mo and Mu Family families to fight against the Bai family.
"Mo Feng is truly unfortunate. He actually encountered Bai Hai in his first battle. Although his strength is not weak, he can only be eliminated by Bai Hai."
The match had not even started, yet everyone behaved as if they already know who is the winner.
"You can begin."
Wu Xiu said indifferently as he looked at the two young men who remained on the field.
"Haargh!"
Both of them shouted at the same time as their Spirit Energies surged. Fierce attacks were launched towards each other.
After the two sides exchanged about twenty moves, Mo Feng's face became a lot paler as if he could not hold on much longer.
"Ripping Wind, go to hell."
Bai Hai ruthlessly smiled and pressed his palm down on Mo Feng's chest.
BOOM!
"Pfft."
After suffering such a heavy attack, Mo Feng's body flew backwards, landing outside of the arena.
"Bai Family's Bai Hai wins this match." Wu Xiu said expressionlessly.
"Trash!" Bai Hai disdainfully said. He had not even used much strength before Mo Feng was defeated. What he found a bit of a pity was that Mo Feng was actually still alive and was not killed.
In the following battles, most of them ended with Bai Family being the victor. The Mo Family and the Mu Family had only won three of the seven battles, and from this battle, it could be seen how big the gap was between the three great families.
The final battle that followed was between Ye Xiao and the person fighting against Ye Xiao was an old acquaintance of Gu Feng, Mu Rong from the Mu Family. Mu Rong also did not think that his opponent was this pervert. Thinking about how he wanted to attack him back at Floating Fragrance Restaurant, his face twitched.
Ye Xiao was also a bit surprised. How should he put it... Umm, it should be put like this: "Enemy truly has narrow paths!"
Stepping onto the stage, Ye Xiao looked at Mu Rong, who was hesitating and asked, "Are you going to come up or not?"
The meaning behind Ye Xiao's words was clear. You can give up now. If you come up, I don't mind teaching you a lesson.
"I... I forfeit." Mu Rong's face turned red as he said helplessly.
"This round, Ye Xiao wins." A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Xiu's eyes. He glanced at Ye Xiao and announced the winner.
"Wait a minute, City Lord, it doesn't seem right to continue like this. Every time we do this, there will be one contestant who will be spared from battle. Doing this seems to be unfair to the other contestants." After Wu Xiu announced Ye Xiao's victory, Bai Ming stood up and said.
"Oh, then what do you think we should do, Second Elder Bai?" Feng Wuji raised his eyes and asked. However, he secretly sneered in his heart. He was naturally aware of Bai Ming's thoughts.
