Outside the city, at the Golden Lotus Mountain.
The Four Great Clans held a competition between the three realms every three years, and the Huang Clan had chosen this place as the venue.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was dark. It seemed like the sun wouldn't rise today.
The valley had been cleaned and tidied up, and there were many tall platforms.
The leaders of the Four Great Clans, as well as their core forces, were all present, scattered and gathered in various places.
Every platform was built with hard stones, and they were used as battlegrounds.
Yu Yuan supported Old Master Yu Can's wheelchair as he listened to Old Master Yu Can introduce the important figures of the other three clans.
On Yuan Lianyao's side, there was Li Feng and several elders with the surname Yuan. Each of them had a powerful aura, and it was obvious that they weren't people to be trifled with.
"The City Lord might be a woman, but her cultivation is actually higher than the older generation in Anyue City," Yu Can introduced. "If I'm not wrong, the City Lord should be in the early stage of the Subtle realm. She's probably the only Subtle realm cultivator in Anyue City!"
"She's already in the Subtle realm at such a young age. The Yuan Clan might become a pillar of the empire like the Lin Clan or the Su Clan in the future."
Before his legs were broken and his cultivation dropped, Yu Can was only in the Breaking Profound realm.
Compared to Yuan Lianyao, his cultivation and talent were far inferior.
"The Yuan Clan isn't that simple," Yu Yuan whispered.
The old man from the Red Devil School was someone who was close to forming a Yin Soul, so he definitely had a close relationship with Yuan Lianyao. Furthermore, he was currently hiding in the City Lord Manor.
After failing to form a Yin Soul, the old man was only in the middle stage of the Subtle realm, and with his experience, his strength was comparable to that of a late-stage Subtle realm cultivator.
That was why the old man could kill Lu Mang of the Frigid Yin Sect so easily.
It was precisely because the Yuan Family was powerful, Yuan Lianyao was the head of the Yuan Family and the City Lord of the Anyue City, and the old man of the Crimson Fiend Sect was hiding in secret that Yuyuan dared to continue to stay and take risks with the City Lord even when she knew the existence and conspiracy of the Blood Divine Sect.
"By the way, why did you barge into the City Lord's Mansion and insist on seeing the City Lord?" Yu Can asked curiously.
"I just wanted to ask if she would care about the Huang Clan spreading the word that they would kill me during the Three Realms Competition." Yu Yuan smiled and placed his hands on the old man's shoulders, indicating for him to relax. "The City Lord said that she can guarantee that I will not die in the hands of the Huang Family's juniors."
"Is there really such a guarantee?" Yu Can's eyes were filled with doubt.
Ever since he received the news that the Huang Family was going to kill Yu Yuan, he didn't approve of Yu Yuan continuing to participate in the battle. However, under Yu Yuan's insistence, he finally agreed.
But in his heart, he was still worried.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll be fine." Yu Yuan said, then turned and glanced at his aunt, Yu Hu, and asked, "Is that thing useful?"
Last night, he secretly went to Yu Hu and gave him the Blackdragon Scissors.
Even Yu Hu's eyebrows were filled with joy. "Of course! Kid, you're really something! Don't worry, no matter who my opponent is, I will win in this Golden Hall Realm competition! "
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the Zhao Family.
Beside Zhao Dongsheng, who was as fat as a mountain of flesh, stood a tall white-robed man. He seemed to be bored to death, as if he didn't care about the Three Realms Competition.
"Zhao Xi is also at the late stage of the Golden Hall Realm. He should be your greatest enemy." Yu Can frowned and said, "Zhao Dongsheng's younger brother has no interest in managing the Zhao Family. He wants to leave Qianxuan Continent. He has no talent in managing the family, but in the path of cultivation, he will probably surpass Zhao Dongsheng in the future. "
Yu Hu was filled with fighting spirit. "I knew that he would be my strongest opponent!"
On the side of the Zhao Family, there was a beautiful girl in a long blue dress. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was gracefully smiling at Yu Hu as she said, "Aunty Yu, if you fight with my uncle, please go easy on him."
"Brat, remember to call me big sister!" Yu Hu glared at her angrily and said, "Serves you right for being trapped in the Spirit Nurture Realm and not being able to break through!"
Yu Yuan was stunned, so he took a few more glances. "So she is Zhao Yafu."
They were both in Dark Moon City and were one of the four great families. The Yu Family and the Zhao Family weren't enemies, and the Zhao Family operated all kinds of shops all year round.
The Zhao Family and the Yu Family didn't interfere with each other's business, and many of their clansmen were familiar with each other.
Yu Hu obviously knew Zhao Yafu. They had interacted before, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other. Otherwise, she wouldn't speak like this.
"Yafu greets Big Brother Yu."
The beautiful girl from the Zhao Family, who was standing quite a distance away from Yu Yuan, bowed respectfully as her dazzling eyes lingered on Yu Yuan's body. "Please forgive me if I disturb you in any way in the future, Big Brother Yu."
Not only the Yuan Family, the Yu Family, and the Huang Family, but even many people in the Zhao Family exclaimed in surprise.
As her father, Zhao Dongsheng was already the next patriarch of the Zhao Family.
As for Zhao Yafu, she was chosen by the Dragon Concealing Lake since birth and had the soul of an infant dragon implanted in her. She was very likely to be the Dragon Attendant of the Dragon Concealing Lake in the future.
The core members of the Zhao Family all believed that Zhao Yafu was the future of the Zhao Family and the link between the Dragon Concealing Lake and the Zhao Family.
As for the death of the infant dragon and the Zhao Family's secret plan to devour the dragon, only three to five people in the Zhao Family knew about it. Most of the Zhao Family members were kept in the dark.
As the pride of the family and the future Dragon Attendant, Zhao Yafu's high opinion of Yu Yuan puzzled them.
"You're welcome."
Yu Yuan nodded from afar and smiled lightly as she said, "Little Girl, you're really a bully. You should have stepped into the Golden Hall Realm, yet you just happened to suppress your cultivation. Do you want to take the first in the Spirit Nurture Realm and obtain benefits for the clan?"
Zhao Yafu smiled sweetly. "Big Brother Yu, don't laugh at me. The family nurtured me, so I naturally have to do my best for the family."
Both of them were smart people. They knew the details, but they still deliberately said so.
"Strange! Strange!" On the Huang Family's side, Huang Bin's expression was gloomy as he glanced at Zhao Yafu and Yu Yuan. "These two people probably don't know each other."
Zhao Yafu, Huang Bin, and even Yu Yuan were actually all of the same age.
The most dazzling person in the third generation of the four great clans was Zhao Yafu!
She'd already attained the peak of the Spirit Nurturing Realm at such a young age, and it was rumored that she was only a step away from stepping into the Golden Hall Realm. What sort of natural talent was this?
Lin Zhuyun who'd entered the Golden Hall Realm before her was the pride of the Silvermoon Empire, and she only possessed her current cultivation and strength under the support of the Frostmoon Sect.
She was merely a realm weaker than Lin Zhuyun.
Huang Bin who was of the same age as her had high hopes placed on him by the Huang Family as well. However, Huang Bin was only at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm, and there was an entire realm between them!
In Huang Bin's heart, this beloved daughter of Zhao Dongsheng was a dream that was beyond his reach!
However, Zhao Yafu just so happened to favor Yu Yuan, who had just recovered from his stupor, during the competition between the three realms. She even called him Big Brother Yu, and her tone and attitude were unusually warm.
Huang Bin looked at the two of them and felt even more upset. At the same time, he became even more determined to kill Yu Yuan.
"It's about time."
At this moment, the city lord, who was as beautiful as a red lotus, flew lightly onto a high platform.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the members of the four great clans who were whispering to each other instantly stopped talking.
Everyone's gazes instantly gathered on her.
"Since it's the same every time, then I won't bother to explain the rules. You all know what to do." Yuan Lianyao's gaze swept over the faces of the leaders of the other three great clans. "You should've warned the participants before you came. I hope you won't bother me again."
Before she withdrew her gaze, she took one last glance at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan nodded imperceptibly.
"Then, let's begin the competition between the Meridian Opening stage of the three realms." Yuan Lianyao stood alone on the high platform and said condescendingly, "The Four Great Clans will send three participants to participate in the competition. I'll draw lots first to decide the clans that will be fighting each other, and then you'll continue to draw lots to decide your opponents. "
The four great clans would face each other in pairs.
As the clanmaster of the Yuan Clan, she only needed to choose the Yuan Clan's opponent first, and then the remaining two clans would have to fight each other.
This was the majesty of the strongest expert in Dark Moon City!
The bamboo sticks that represented the Zhao Clan, the Huang Clan, and the Yu Clan were brought over by Huang Chen, Yu Wei, and Zhao Dongsheng. After they were mixed up in the bamboo tube, Yuan Lianyao casually picked up a bamboo stick with two slender fingers. She looked down at it and laughed softly. "It's the Zhao Clan again."
She looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.
The fat Zhao Dongsheng sighed and said with a long face, "Sigh, I'm so unlucky."
"Alright, the Huang Clan and the Yu Clan will fight each other first. Only after the winner is decided will it be our turn." With an indifferent expression, Yuan Lianyao waved her hand, signaling Yu Wei and Huang Chen to quickly start the best of three matches so that they wouldn't waste too much of her time.
"Let's stop drawing lots," Huang Chen said with a grin. Huang Chen grinned and said, "My son, Huang Bin, has long heard of Yu Yuan's great name. I would like to fight Yu Yuan first, is that possible?"
He fixed Yu Wei with a provocative look.
"This doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, does it?" Zhao Dongsheng chimed in.
Yu Can's face fell. "The Huang Clan is too impatient!"
"I agree." With a soft laugh, Yuan Lianyao pointed at Huang Bin and Yu Yuan and said, "The first match of the Meridian Opening stage will be between the two of you."
"Oh, right." She patted her head and seemed to suddenly think of something. Then, she added, "This match will determine victory and defeat, as well as life and death!"
