"Outsider, are you sure?"
"I'm not completely sure, but I'm at least 90% sure," Emperor Golden Snake said solemnly.
Temple Master Iceberg thought for a while and shook his head. "Even if he's an outsider, it's still not easy for you to have a Life-death Duel with him."
"I know. That's why I came to see you." Emperor Golden Snake looked at Temple Master Iceberg.
Temple Master Iceberg frowned slightly and fell silent. He did not reply immediately.
"Senior, I once got a Jade Slip by chance." Emperor Golden Snake took a deep breath and said slowly, "There was a message in the Jade Slip that mentioned … the Ancient World Token."
"What did you just say?" Temple Master Iceberg, who had been sitting on the throne, suddenly stood up with a strange look in his eyes.
Emperor Golden Snake was not surprised by Temple Master Iceberg's loss of composure. He knew how attractive the Ancient World Token was to Temple Master Iceberg.
"Senior, you heard me right. The Jade Slip did mention the Ancient World Token," Emperor Golden Snake said.
"Quick, show me the Jade Slip," Temple Master Iceberg said hurriedly.
Emperor Golden Snake took out a Jade Slip without hesitation and handed it to Temple Master Iceberg.
Temple Master Iceberg took the Jade Slip and infused his consciousness into it. Immediately, a message was transmitted to him.
Emperor Golden Snake was still standing there, waiting quietly with a confident smile on his face. Temple Master Iceberg soon came to his senses with an unconcealable look of surprise on his face.
"Golden Snake." Temple Master Iceberg looked down again. "I'll take this Jade Slip. As for the Life-death Duel … I'll send a message to the other Temple Masters and ask them to do me a favor. I'm sure they won't refuse."
"Thank you, senior!" Emperor Golden Snake was overjoyed.
"Well, you can go back and prepare." Temple Master Iceberg waved his hand.
"Yes." Emperor Golden Snake answered and then left.
Only Temple Master Iceberg was left in the palace. At this moment, Temple Master Iceberg was ecstatic.
"The Ancient World Token!"
…
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed since the Demonic Beast's attack.
In these ten days, the East Camp had completely stabilized. Most of the sergeants who had died in the previous battle had been replenished.
At this moment, two figures were slowly approaching from the void near the camp of the Seventh Army.
One of them was Emperor Fengxiao, who had given the token of the fourth level of the Earth Core Palace to Jian Wushuang, and the other was Emperor Xiying, who had stopped Emperor Golden Snake.
"Alas, I tried to stop Emperor Golden Snake from killing Jian Wushuang, but now, I'm the one to announce it." Emperor Xiying sighed with a gloomy expression.
"I didn't expect that Golden Snake could make 17 Temple Masters agree to the Life-and-Death Duel." Emperor Fengxiao also frowned.
"I don't think Golden Snake is capable of that. In my opinion, Temple Master Iceberg must have personally intervened." Emperor Xiying said, "Temple Master Iceberg is one of the top three Temple Masters in the Monster-exterminating League, so the other Temple Masters will show him respect. Most importantly, Jian Wushuang is an outsider."
"Yes, if he is not an outsider, even Temple Master Iceberg would not be able to stop him." Emperor Fengxiao sighed.
"Well, we've arrived." Emperor Xiying looked down at the camp of the Seventh Army.
"Jian Wushuang." Emperor Xiying and Emperor Fengxiao stood side by side in the void, but Emperor Xiying's voice had already spread out.
Jian Wushuang, who was concentrating on comprehending the Restriction of the Six-story Pagoda, immediately walked out of the tent and appeared in the void.
"Emperor Fengxiao, Emperor Xiying." Jian Wushuang bowed respectfully to the two men in front of him.
Both of them had helped him, so Jian Wushuang was grateful to them.
However, Emperor Fengxiao and Emperor Xiying were looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Jian Wushuang."
Emperor Xiying opened his mouth slightly, but he suddenly paused. After a long while, he sighed and continued, "I'm sending you a message under Temple Master Pure Moon's order. Emperor Golden Snake has proposed a Life-and-Death Duel with you, and 17 Temple Masters have agreed."
"What? Agreed? "Jian Wushuang could not help being surprised.
He had thought that it was almost impossible for Emperor Golden Snake to persuade 17 Temple Masters to agree to the Life-and-Death Duel, but …
"It seems that I've underestimated Emperor Golden Snake. He's quite capable to persuade 17 Temple Masters to agree to the Life-and-Death Duel," Jian Wushuang thought.
Emperor Xiying continued, "According to the rules of the Alliance, since 17 Temple Masters have agreed to the Life-and-Death Duel, the Life-and-Death Duel between you and Emperor Golden Snake has been decided. However, considering that you're only a Saint Realm expert, you have one month to prepare. One month later, you'll have a Life-and-Death Duel with Emperor Golden Snake in the Bloodshed Valley of the Holy Place!"
"One month?" Jian Wushuang nodded secretly.
The Monster-exterminating League did not go too far. At least, they gave him a month to prepare.
"Since the order has been delivered, I'll take my leave." Emperor Xiying turned and left. However, Emperor Fengxiao was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he came to Jian Wushuang's side.
"Jian Wushuang." Emperor Fengxiao looked at Jian Wushuang with a faint smile.
"Emperor Fengxiao." Jian Wushuang greeted him modestly.
"You surprised me during the Divine General Assessment in Skyplume City. But now, you've given me an even bigger surprise." Emperor Fengxiao smiled. "What's the matter? Do you feel pressured because you'll have a Life-and-Death Duel with Emperor Golden Snake in one month?"
"Yes, a little." Jian Wushuang nodded honestly.
A Life-and-Death Duel was different from a normal fight.
If it was a normal fight, he would not worry about Emperor Golden Snake at all. After all, even if Emperor Golden Snake could not defeat him, he could escape.
However, in a Life-and-Death Duel, it was either life or death. If he was weaker than his opponent, he would die.
"The Alliance found out that you're an outsider, so none of the Temple Masters will support you," Emperor Fengxiao said.
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang could not help but smile bitterly.
He finally understood why the Temple Masters had agreed. It must have something to do with his background.
"The Life-and-Death Duel has been decided, so it can't be changed. Even if you want to escape now, it's too late. Unless you escape into the territory of Demonic Beasts, you can never return to the Human Territory," Emperor Fengxiao said.
"Emperor Golden Snake is not qualified to make me escape," Jian Wushuang said with a faint smile.
What a joke! In the Divine Land, Jian Wushuang had faced so many super experts above the Cloud Realm, who were equivalent to the Temple Masters of the Monster-exterminating League.
