"Enough nonsense. Wang Meng, take out your stake," Nuan Muyun said in a deep voice, not afraid at all.
Wang Meng also took out a jade bottle and said, "There is half a drop of Dragon Marrow in here. It can also improve one's physique. It is no weaker than your Monarch Blood Grass. If you win, it is yours."
The stakes that the two took out were all rare treasures worth cities. The surrounding cultivators who were watching the excitement all had fiery gazes, feeling incredibly envious.
"Let's go and see who will win."
A group of people followed behind Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng as they headed for the Proud Son of Heaven Hall.
Before the Sage Wall, the cultivators of the various sects of the Tianwu Domain all looked at the last of the one thousand lanterns. They all felt very depressed.
As long as one was on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking, one would be able to obtain benefits. It might be difficult for people like them to reach the top eight hundred or nine hundred in one go.
However, there was a high chance of making it to the last hundred. This was especially so for those who had prepared for many years and only wanted to show their faces on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.
He didn't have any extravagant hopes for the rankings. He just wanted to stand there and feel a little satisfaction in his heart.
But now, this little bit of hope was mercilessly blocked by the last lantern, making him sad and dejected.
Dong dong dong!
The sound of footsteps could be heard coming from afar. When they gathered together, it was very noisy. From the sound, one could tell that at least a thousand people had arrived.
"That's strange. Since when did so many people come to challenge the ranking?"
If one failed, the challenger would suffer serious mental and internal injuries. Under normal circumstances, no one would attempt the rankings unless they were absolutely sure of success.
Those who wanted to challenge the Roll of Honor would have to think thrice before acting, and they would be extremely cautious. Those who came to challenge the Roll of Honor would definitely not swarm together.
Everyone looked back curiously. When they saw the two people leading the group, they could not help but be startled. A moment later, their faces were filled with ecstasy.
"That's great, Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng have brought people over to challenge the rankings."
"The people they brought with them are definitely not weak. It's even possible for them to reach the top fifty."
"Nonsense. Not to mention the Nine Ranks of the Great Families behind Wang Meng, just the disciples of the Phoenix's Passion Palace alone would not be brought out unless they could get into the top hundred."
"Hahaha, no matter what, I will definitely be able to push this Xiao Chen down. Fortunately, I had foresight and did not rush to make a move earlier."
The group of people hurriedly moved aside, making way for Wang Meng and Nuan Muyun. Especially those who were not in a hurry to make a move, their faces were filled with excitement.
Such a scene astonished the many cultivators that had followed Nuan Muyun and Chu Feng.
After asking around, Zhang Xuan understood what had happened. When he looked at the final lantern, he was shocked.
When Leng Liusu heard Xiao Chen's name, her body trembled. At first, she thought it was someone with the same name. However, when she looked at the lantern, she noticed that it was a lantern.
The flame figure in the lantern quickly grew larger in her eyes. Finally, the white-robed Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen holding the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared before her eyes. Only then did Leng Liusu confirm it.
The shock in her heart could not be described with words. Unexpectedly, that young bladesman from back then also came to the Kunlun Realm. Furthermore, he caused such a commotion in the Proud Son of Heaven Hall.
Nuan Muyun frowned slightly and asked, "Liusu, do you know this person?"
Leng Liusu's eyes flickered. She had once heard rumors of Xiao Chen defeating several disciples of the Phoenix's Passion Palace in the outer sect.
Afraid that Nuan Muyun would bring trouble for Xiao Chen if she found out, Leng Liusu hid the truth. "He seems to be a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion as well."
"The Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Xiao Chen. I have some impression of him."
Leng Liusu could not help but find it strange that an insignificant person like Xiao Chen could attract Senior Sister Nuan's attention.
Nuan Muyun smiled gently and said, "I heard Junior Brother Mu mention him before. His younger brother was ruthlessly defeated by this person in the Sky Dome Realm. If I am not wrong, that strand of saber Qi from earlier should be from him."
After Wang Meng understood what happened, he laughed loudly and said, "Interesting. Unexpectedly, there is such a person in the Sky Dome Realm."
"Very good. I like challenges that are difficult. Nuan Muyun, are you going to chase that brat off first, or should I? "
A crafty look flashed in Nuan Muyun's bright eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I'll let you go first."
Wang Meng chuckled, and the fighting spirit in his eyes soared. He said loudly, "In that case, it would be impolite to refuse. Ninth Junior Brother, chase that brat from the Sky Dome Realm off. If he is not even as good as a lower-realm disciple, he will be embarrassing the sect. "
Wang Meng's tone was filled with confidence. Wang Wei thought very highly of this Ninth Junior Brother. At the very least, this Ninth Junior Brother could charge up a hundred ranks in one go. Taking down Xiao Chen would not be a problem.
Wang Meng's Ninth Junior Brother smiled proudly, and a faint flame appeared on his fist. He said, "I swear I will not disappoint you!"
"Fire Spirit Body!"
"It looks like he has a Fire Spirit Body that is at least sixty percent comprehended. Otherwise, he would not be so confident."
"With this, Xiao Chen will definitely be chased off."
Upon seeing this scene, the surrounding people exclaimed in surprise. Several people saw hope and could not help rejoicing.
"Hu chi!"
In less than the time it took to brew a pot of tea, the Ninth Junior Brother's lantern easily cleared the Sage's test before everyone's expectant gazes.
The Ninth Junior Brother's lantern knocked down Xiao Chen's lantern with a 'bang.' Then, he gently leaped up and landed on Xiao Chen's lantern.
…
Time passed much slower than everyone expected. The Ninth Junior Brother, who originally thought that he could suppress Xiao Chen, was still unable to end the battle even after fifteen minutes.
The cultivators who originally had fervent gazes filled with anticipation slowly showed conflicted expressions.
After the time it took for half an incense to burn, the outcome of the battle was still undecided. Even the calm Wang Meng could not help but frown.
"Ka ca!"
Suddenly, a crisp shattering sound rang out in the silent plaza. Wang Meng relaxed his frown and smiled. "The victor is decided!"
However, when Wang Meng looked carefully, he discovered that the shattered lantern actually belonged to his Ninth Junior Brother. He had not expected such an ending, so he could not help but be flabbergasted.
"How can it be like this?!"
The people who were filled with anticipation all sighed. Then, they focused their gazes on Leng Liusu. Unexpectedly, Nuan Muyun placed her right hand on Leng Liusu's shoulder, preventing her from making a breakthrough.
"There's no need. Liusu, come back next year."
Nuan Muyun's words shocked everyone. A person brought by a Holy Land to make a breakthrough actually gave up because of a lower-realm genius.
Wang Meng smiled coldly and said, "Nuan Muyun, what do you mean by this?"
Nuan Muyun faced the many paintings of Sages on the wall and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Wang Meng looked in the direction of Nuan Muyun's finger and saw that one of the paintings had dimmed significantly. If Nuan Muyun had not pointed it out, it would not have attracted anyone's attention.
"This is! A Sage is personally guiding Xiao Chen in his Martial Technique!" Wang Meng cried out hoarsely, startled.
Normally, only cultivators with high comprehension ability would attract the attention of Sages, causing them to exhaust their will to guide them.
There would not be more than twenty such people in the entire Proud Son of Heaven Ranking. Now, there was one more, Xiao Chen.
"No wonder Xiao Chen spent so much time in the Sage's test. So that is why."
"We were really stupid at that time. We actually believed what Bai He and Bai Yu said, that Xiao Chen was being chased by a Sage and was running around to buy time."
"F * ck, those two guys are idiots. They made us idiots for once."
Everyone suddenly understood. They finally understood everything. They could not help but curse themselves for being too stupid. Then, they cursed Bai He and Bai Yu.
In the distance, White Feather and White River, who were rushing back, sneezed continuously. They looked at each other and felt that this was very strange.
"Ah! Damn it! This is really strange. Why are there so many sneezes today? "Bai Yu said depressedly. After he said that, he sneezed again.
Bai He said in a low voice, "It can't be. Hundreds of people are scolding us for being stupid, right?"
"We will be fools. What a joke! Then no one in the world would be smart. Ah … Ah! "
Wang Meng looked at Nuan Muyun unhappily. She probably saw the dimmed Sage portrait long ago and purposely let Wang Meng take the bait.
"Let's go. We will come back next year!" Wang Meng withdrew his gaze and left without looking back.
Nuan Muyun called out to the two, "Wait a moment!"
Wang Meng felt depressed in his heart. He asked unhappily, "Nuan Muyun, is there anything else?"
"Haha! It's fine. If you admit your defeat, you will not go back on your word, right? Hand over that half drop of Dragon Marrow," Nuan Muyun said rudely as she stretched out her hand.
"What a joke. I did not lose to you. Why should I give it to you?"
Nuan Muyun smiled faintly and said, "Both of us lost. According to the bet, we have to put up a good wager. Hand over the Dragon Marrow. I will get someone to send it to Xiao Chen, along with the Monarch Blood Grass. "
Nuan Muyun's tone was calm, but the look in her eyes deterred anyone from doubting her determination.
Wang Meng was extremely upset. However, although he was arrogant, he had his own targets. When he faced the other giants, he would have left long ago, ignoring them.
However, when he faced the Phoenix's Passion Palace's Holy Daughter, Nuan Muyun, no matter how frustrated he was, he did not dare to go against her decision.
Wang Meng could only hand over the half drop of Dragon Marrow to Nuan Muyun and leave, filled with rage. Today, he had embarrassed himself and lost money.
It was all that brat Xiao Chen's doing. Wang Meng thought to himself, I have to get back at him for this.
Nuan Muyun and Wang Meng were the Phoenix's Passion Palace's Holy Daughter and the most arrogant Tyrant Saber of the seven giants.
In the Tianwu Domain, they were the focus of attention, the dazzling peak geniuses. This was especially so for Nuan Muyun. Her lantern had already been in the second row of the pyramid for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the disciple that these two brought actually lost to Xiao Chen, a Sky Dome Realm cultivator that the outside world did not think highly of, when he tried to break into the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking.
"Before this, there was the Luck bearer of the ten great battle realms. On his first attempt, he swept through more than two hundred people. Now, there is this Xiao Chen. The Tianwu Domain is probably going to undergo a complete transformation."
"The age of cultivators is not limited to the Great Thousand Realms controlled by the Bushin Palace. In the past few years, our Tianwu Domain has seen many new young experts as well."
"The top hundred of the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking has not changed much for a long time already. I guess that in less than a year, with the growth of these lower-realm geniuses, there will definitely be a big change in the rankings."
