Poof!

The sound of blood splattering was particularly crisp.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Bai, bearing the sword intention of Ye Jianjun, decapitated Ye Jianjun with two flying swords.

"No!" An anguished roar sounded from the clouds above, echoing the fury of Ye Jianjun.

As one of the most powerful beings on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, his roar resounded for millions of miles, sending a chill through the bodies of all the warriors around Mu Mountain, causing them to shiver uncontrollably.

In his fury, Ye Jianjun shattered the clouds, revealing Ye Clan warriors on Cloud Sky, along with a grim-faced Ye Jianjun.

Lin Bai walked to Ye Jianjun’s corpse and looked down at it with a slightly strange expression.

Although Ye Jianjun was killed by his own hand, Lin Bai felt that something was amiss.

Even after killing Ye Jianjun, Lin Bai did not feel a sense of vengeance fulfilled.

Something just didn’t feel right.

With a cold expression, Lin Bai stood silently before Ye Jianjun’s corpse.

"Saint Lin Bai!" Ye Jianjun stood above the clouds, a power of Great Perfection of the Wending Realm radiating outwards forcefully, akin to the might of the heavens, suppressing all directions and crushing all things beneath the sky.

Ye Jianjun’s imposing aura descended from Cloud Sky, instantly causing an uproar among all the warriors around Mu Mountain.

Lin Bai silently looked up at Ye Jianjun above the clouds and said with a faint smile, "So it’s Sword Venerable Ye Jianjun. I didn’t expect you’d come to watch this martial arts competition."

Ye Jianjun glared at Lin Bai through gritted teeth.

All the surrounding warriors sensed the intense rage emanating from Ye Jianjun.

"It’s over, it seems Ye Jianjun is about to get angry!"

"Nonsense, one of the most outstanding warriors within his family, and moreover a God-level Martial Soul warrior, was just killed by someone. If it were you, wouldn’t you be angry too?"

"Next, we’ll see what Ye Jianjun does. If things aren’t handled well, it might provoke a great battle!"

The surrounding warriors at Mu Mountain commented one after another.

...

On the spirit boat of the Lounan royal family, Emperor Lou Nan exclaimed in surprise: "I didn’t expect Ye Jianjun to be truly killed by Lin Bai."

The old eunuch gasped in surprise: "Your Majesty, it seems Ye Jianjun is about to rage!"

Emperor Lou Nan of the Lounan royal family, his eyes flickering, said in a low voice: "If Ye Jianjun in his rage kills Lin Bai, East Continent Academy might not take it lightly!"

"Once East Continent Academy is provoked, it could lead to a bloody conflict between the territories of East Continent and Northern Continent, which wouldn’t be beneficial for the Lounan Dynasty!"

Emperor Lou Nan of the Lounan royal family suddenly looked towards Ye Jianjun above the clouds.

...

On another side, Qian Mu said with a faint smile: "Ye Jianjun is dead, a God-level Martial Soul warrior is dead. It seems Ye Jianjun won’t let this go!"

The senior warriors of the Fighting Arena spoke in low voices: "Young Master Qian Mu, should we step in to persuade them? After all, Lin Bai is the Saint of East Continent Academy!"

"If Lin Bai dies in the Northern Continent, it might be hard to explain to the East Continent Academy."

Qian Mu laughed and said: "What is there to fear!"

The few affluent middle-aged men spoke in low voices: "If East Continent Academy truly goes to all lengths to avenge their saint, it might trigger a bloody conflict between the territories of East and Northern Continent!"

"At that time, there would be nothing but chaos!"

Qian Mu chuckled: "Wouldn’t that be beneficial? If there’s no fighting, to whom would Tianbao Tower sell their divine soldier weapons and peerless elixirs?"

"This..." The few affluent middle-aged men were stunned.

Qian Mu smiled subtly and did not continue speaking!

In Qian Mu’s heart, he wished for the warriors of East Continent and Northern Continent to clash; once such cross-regional warfare erupted, it would surely mobilize everyone to join the battle.

By then, the daily consumption of weapons and elixir pills during the great battles would reach immeasurable levels, and Tianbao Tower’s elixirs and weapons would sell even better.

This was the business strategy Tianbao Tower had developed a long time ago.

For this reason, Tianbao Tower’s business thrived best during times of war.

...

"Sword Venerable, it seems Ye Jianjun is about to act." Several elders of the Ed Clan spoke in low voices.

Edsword Lord responded coldly: "In the martial arts competition, Lin Bai killed Ye Jianjun, we have nothing more to say, but if, after the competition ends, Ye Jianjun kills Lin Bai out of anger, it might incite dissatisfaction from East Continent Academy!"

...

Lin Bai stood among the ruins of Mu Mountain, looking up at Ye Jianjun in mid-air.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Ye Jianjun, what do you intend to do?"

Ye Jianjun glared at Lin Bai through gritted teeth, stepping forward as the powerful force from him spilt forth, descending upon Lin Bai as if a mountain was crushing down.

"You’ve killed Ye Jianjun, and you dare ask what I intend to do?"

Ye Jianjun’s expression grew vicious, a cold hue surfacing.

At that moment, Ye Jianjun’s sword aura grew ever colder, with an intention to annihilate Lin Bai.

Then, the clouds suddenly parted, revealing the figure of Edsword Lord, looking at Ye Jianjun and saying: "Ye Jianjun!"

Ye Jianjun looked up, his expression cold: "Edsword Lord, what do you mean? Do you wish to stop me?"

Edsword Lord responded coldly: "Lin Bai and Ye Jianjun had long agreed upon a life-and-death duel. Now, during the martial arts competition, Ye Jianjun couldn’t rival Lin Bai and was slain, our skills are inferior, we can say nothing!"

"But now the competition is over, if you wish to kill Lin Bai out of anger, it might bring calamity upon the Sword God Family, I advise Ye Jianjun to think this through!"

Edsword Lord said icy cold.

Ye Jianjun sneered coldly: "Edsword Lord, don’t use East Continent Academy to pressure me. Your Ed Clan may fear East Continent Academy, but my Ye Clan does not!"

"Since I am determined to cut down Lin Bai, if East Continent Academy’s strong ones come for revenge one day, they can come find my Ye Clan anytime!"

Ye Jianjun said domineeringly.

Edsword Lord slightly shook his head, seeing that Ye Jianjun was overwhelmed by anger, he could only speak with determination: "Since you’ve been blinded by rage, I cannot let you have your way!"

"If you wish to slay Lin Bai, you’ll have to go through me first!"

Edsword Lord said coldly.

Ye Jianjun sneered: "Edsword Lord, we haven’t dueled in over a hundred years, I wonder if you’ve made any progress in your cultivation over this time!"

"More than a hundred years ago, you were no match for me, and more than a hundred years later, today, you still aren’t my match!"

Ye Jianjun said disdainfully, looking at Edsword Lord.

Hearing this, Edsword Lord did not get angry, his expression remained calm.

Just then, another voice rang out: "Ye Jianjun, since Ye Jianjun and Lin Bai had agreed upon a life-and-death duel, and Ye Jianjun was bested and killed, we have no words!"

"But if you wish to bully the weak today, I, Emperor, cannot allow it!"

On the spirit boat of the Lounan royal family, Emperor Lou Nan spoke coldly.

Ye Jianjun and Edsword Lord looked down, seeing the spirit boat slowly rise to the cloud level, on deck was a seemingly noble middle-aged man in royal robes, exuding authority while gazing at Ye Jianjun without anger!
