Chapter 847: Chapter 21: Emperor Longchang Appears! Spirit Treasure Qianqiu Takes the Stage

In one’s own sister, naturally, no one knows better than oneself. From a young age, this sister of his has been full of schemes, always doing whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Who knows if there’s a trap laid in front waiting for him to fall into?

"Uh... hehehe~ Brother, how can you say that about me? I’m doing this for your own good, you know, so you don’t just focus on cultivating every day. Only by competing with masters can you continuously break through yourself." Lady Bilian said confidently.

"Though that’s true, something still feels off." Suddenly, Shangguan Yunque’s expression became incredibly serious as his gaze sharpened, "By the way, I heard some rumors earlier, that you were involved with some Wang family... could it be... that Wang Liyao is your mistress..."

"Brother!" Lady Bilian was practically about to explode with anger, "I’m your sister! How can you throw mud at your sister like this?"

In her heart, she was even muttering in anger, this old lady also had the impulse to sleep with someone... but there’s just no opportunity given.

"Cough~ cough cough~ Sorry, sorry." Shangguan Yunque also felt embarrassed and hurriedly apologized, "It’s all because those rumors were so convincingly detailed."

Although his sister acted all innocent, he always felt like there was a faint hint of disappointment in her.

"Phew~"

Lady Bilian secretly let out a sigh of relief.

That Wang Shouzhe fellow is really something, always giving her tricky problems to solve.

Who knows what’s in his mind, actually letting her provoke her brother into the fray. Is he afraid his daughter isn’t having enough excitement in the Upper Capital? Or does he actually believe Wang Liyao can defeat her brother?

But then again.

Patriarch Shouzhe is becoming more and more fascinating... no wonder Ancestor Fire Fox likes to stick to him whenever there’s nothing to do. If I were in his position... hehehe~

Such a strange situation, watching it, sent chills down the spines of the Shangguan Yunque brothers, and Bilian she...

...

Time flies, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The most bustling topic in Gui Long City during this time has been none other than the Great Celestial Pride Trial Battle stirred up by Wang Liyao.

And today.

Is the day for the arranged private Great Celestial Pride Battle agreed upon by Prince Heng, where the Longzhou Purple Mansion Academy’s Great Celestial Pride Liyao will face off against the Imperial Family’s Great Celestial Pride Zhixing.

This unprecedented showdown in a century naturally draws everyone’s attention, with the excitement reaching its peak.

Outside White Cloud Tower, the crowd is so dense it looks like a sea of people.

Those are spectators who couldn’t squeeze in, but even if there’s no qualification to watch, getting a feel for the atmosphere up close is still good enough.

Inside White Cloud Tower, the place is filled with nobles, with princes as common as dogs.

Even those seated in the scattered seats today are usually high and mighty figures in their own right. As for those in the private compartments, any of them pulled out would be someone who can make the earth tremble three times with a stomp of their foot.

Especially in those few most luxurious and top-notch compartments, the isolation array is fully activated, and there’s no knowing who sits inside. Everyone only sees that even the owner of White Cloud Tower, Prince Heng, bends over year after year to enter, exiting with a face full of smiles and reverence.

Inside one of the compartments.

As one of the sides participating in the battle - Wang Liyao.

She quietly sat on a quaint Spirit Wood chair, her bright, deep eyes calm and undisturbed, reflecting her heart as still as a deep pool.

Contrarily, her two Celestial Pride-level followers behind her seemed a little restless.

Indeed, she now has two Celestial Pride-level followers. One is naturally Mo Waoqiu, while the other is Wang Anan.

One must say the life force of a Celestial Human Realm Celestial Pride is truly tenacious, having two legs broken along with countless flesh injuries, yet jumping and bouncing around in just over ten days.

The physicians from Duke Dingguo’s Mansion really have remarkable skills, complemented by internal elixirs, external salves, and the healing effects of Wood Profound Qi, which isn’t bad at all.

This is the heritage of a top family, with talented individuals in every aspect.

As soon as Wang Liyao returned to the Wang Family’s Main Residence, she received the best care and was incidentally summoned and encouraged by the Wang Family’s only Ancestor, receiving many gifts, and having Wang Anan kicked to her as a follower.

Although Wang Anan’s strength can’t match that of a Great Celestial Pride, he is still quite formidable among the Celestial Prides, and serving as a follower isn’t really an insult to Wang Liyao.

"Grandma Liyao." Having become a follower, Wang Anan transformed completely into the lapdog of the Great Celestial Pride Liyao, repeatedly reporting, "My brothers have already helped investigate, Wu Zhixing, during these ten or so days, claims to be in seclusion but is actually refining a Divine Power Spirit Treasure, reportedly sought from Your Majesty by the Little Princess. Heh, this Imperial Family is too weak to, really..."

"Watch your words." Wang Liyao glanced coldly.

"Yes, yes, I’ll be careful with my words, careful with my words." Wang Anan nodded repeatedly, but his expression showed worry, "Grandma, although Wu Zhixing’s courage is a bit lacking, his strength is indeed not weak. The most important thing is, he’s about ten years older than you..."

For ordinary cultivators in their seventies or eighties, a gap of about ten years wouldn’t make too much of a difference. But for Celestial Prides of this age group, this is the time for rapidly advancing strength, and even a difference of five or six years can make a considerable difference.

"No matter." Wang Liyao said calmly, "This Great Celestial Pride Trial Battle is for self-refinement, victory or defeat is not important. The stronger Zhixing Celestial Pride is, the happier I am." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Wang Anan was just about to flatter her like a lapdog when.

A buzz erupted from the scattered seats outside, "Zhixing Celestial Pride and Xue Ning Celestial Pride have arrived, they have arrived~"

Outside White Cloud Tower.

A distinguished and calm gentleman and a pretty and flamboyant girl walked into White Cloud Tower amidst countless gazes.

Amidst the discussions and cheers.

The man wearing a full set of Profound Black Martial Attire leisurely stepped onto the arena.

"Zhixing greets Liyao Celestial Pride." Wu Zhixing’s voice carried a hint of laziness. Normally he only wanted to cultivate peacefully, not wanting anything to do with life or death battles.

Yet for this battle, even Your Majesty has taken notice, and through Xue Ning, bestowed upon him a Divine Power Spirit Treasure - Qianqiu.

He had no choice now but to fight.

As soon as his words ended.

Wang Liyao gracefully fluttered down, and before she even had the chance to speak.

A sword suddenly flew out with a "whoosh" from behind Wu Zhixing, quivering as it said, "Wow, this chick is hot. Little Wu, go on, fight her, subdue her, make her your..."

"Bang!"

Before "Qianqiu" could finish speaking, it was pinned down on the Obsidian Iron Arena by Wu Zhixing’s foot, as he said to Wang Liyao with a face full of awkwardness, "Miss Liyao, I never expected this damned thing to act like this."

Feeling dejected inside, it was no wonder Your Majesty was so generous in bestowing a Divine Power Spirit Treasure...
