"Rumble..."
Even the earth seemed to be shaking. A tall figure was approaching from afar, flying towards them.
He Yiming narrowed his eyes. Although the other party was not a member of the Wolf Totem or the Snake Totem, he had a feeling that this guy was coming for him.
Below the tall platform, the expressions of many disciples were quite interesting. Due to the conflict between Heng Shan and the totem clan, most of them had heard of the totem clan. However, they had never seen one before. Therefore, there was even a trace of anticipation in their eyes.
However, on the high platform, Ai Wenbin and the other members of the Heaven Lake's main branch looked a bit gloomy.
No matter why Xiong Wuji was here, it was a great humiliation for him to show up on such an occasion. If he was not a powerhouse of the Totem Clan, they would have taken him down long ago.
After a short while, the figure arrived in front of the huge platform. When the crowd saw who it was, they all gasped.
The figure was not a person, but a man and a bear.
The giant bear was three meters tall. When it stood up, it looked like a castle, giving people a heavy pressure and a shadow that they could not get rid of.
There was also a person sitting steadily on the bear's body.
When they arrived at the center of the square, he jumped down from the bear's back and landed in front of it.
This person was about two meters tall and had a resolute face. His eyes were bright and full of vigor, and he looked especially spirited.
However, when such a tall man jumped down, he was as light as a piece of paper. Based on this lightness technique alone, people could not help but guess the nature of his genuine Qi.
Xiong Wuji looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the high platform. He cupped his fists and said loudly, "Xiong Wuji greets the Venerable of Heaven Lake."
Ai Wenbin snorted. His voice was not loud, but it was as loud as a drum. Both Xiong Wuji and the giant bear behind him trembled a little. The domineering aura they had when they first arrived was immediately stagnated.
"Xiong Wuji, do you know what day it is today?" Ai Wenbin said coldly.
Xiong Wuji was startled. He looked at the huge platform with a confused look in his eyes. However, he was not stupid. He knew that there must be a celebration on the platform when he saw that there were at least 10,000 people on it. He had come at the wrong time.
If the Venerable of Heaven Lake thought that he was here to cause trouble, he would not be able to redress his grievances even if he was killed.
Xiong Wuji seemed to be reckless, but he was actually quite meticulous. He bowed deeply and said, "Please forgive me, Venerable. I really didn't know. If I've offended you, please forgive me.
His voice was full of apology, as if it came from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, whether it was the high and mighty Ai Wenbin or the ordinary disciples on the platform, their expressions all eased up.
In fact, Ai Wenbin also knew that it was impossible for him to use this opportunity to kill this person. The reason why he did this was to beat down his arrogance.
"Xiong Wuji, today is the day of Heavenly Lake's main branch's Mountain-Opening Competition. You're a guest from afar, so why don't you come and watch?" Ai Wenbin said leisurely.
Xiong Wuji's honest and tough face was even more surprised. "Sir Venerable One, if I remember correctly, your sect's competition that's held once every 10 years should be next year."
On the high platform, Jin Zhanjiang suddenly laughed out loud. "The Mountain-Opening Competition is an internal matter of Heavenly Lake. Do we need to inform you from afar?"
Xiong Wuji's face tightened, and he fixed his eyes on Jin Zhangzhan. Jin Zhangzhan, on the other hand, was staring back at him fearlessly with a cold smile on his face. The aura competition between the two of them was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that a battle of life and death was about to break out.
Ai Wenbin wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Since Jin Zhanjiang was willing to stand up for him, he was more than happy to watch. If the totem clan in the deep mountains could change their target to Great Shen in the East, it would be great for him.
After some time, Xiong Wuji nodded and said, "I've long heard that a peerless genius has appeared among the outsiders. Looks like it's you, Your Excellency."
Jin Zhanjiang was surprised. "Don't the totem clan live deep in the mountains and don't care about the outside world?"
He sounded slightly proud. Although he was so famous in Great Shen in the East that almost the entire country knew about him, this was the Northwest. After all, they were in the northwest, and the one who said that was from the totem clan deep in the mountains. When he thought about how his reputation had spread far and wide, he could not help but feel proud.
Xiong Wuji scoffed angrily. "The totem clan may live deep in the mountains, but how can we not care about people who steal totems and kill totem messengers?"
Jin Zhanjiang was startled, but he immediately understood that Xiong Wuji must have mistaken him for someone else. Despite that, he was extremely proud. Although he knew the totem clan member in front of him was not to be trifled with, the stronger the person, the more interested he was. At this moment, Xiong Wuji's eyes flickered, and he said loudly, "Xiong Wuji, there's no need to say anything. Since today is the day of the competition, why don't we fight first?"
Xiong Wuji's eyes flickered with a fierce light, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Although the smile was extremely cold, it gave off a different feeling when it appeared on his resolute face.
He Yiming frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, this has nothing to do with Great Shen. Aren't you going to mediate?"
Zhang Zhongchi smiled carelessly and said, "Junior Brother Jin came north this time to find a strong opponent to fight. Originally, this Zhang planned to use this old face of mine to invite you One-Line Heavens to fight after the Great Competition, but now that this guy is here, it's the best of both worlds."
He Yiming, Yu Jinglei, and the others were puzzled. Given Zhang Zhongyun's identity as a treasure merchant, no one would refuse to fight if he invited them. However, Jin Zhanjiang's purpose of coming here was to challenge them. This was too surprising.
As though he noticed their doubts, Zhang Zhongyun chuckled and explained, "Junior Brother Jin has already condensed the 3 flowers and formed a tripod. He was only a step away from condensing the top when he tried to do so. This is why he traveled around the world this time to challenge equal-ranked powerhouses. Perhaps he'll be enlightened during the battles, which can help him form the cauldron successfully. "
Yu Jing Lei's expression changed, "Brother Zhang, isn't this a little too dangerous?"
Zhang Zhongyun shook his head and explained, "Junior Brother Jin's cultivation technique is rather peculiar, where he's good at breaking through during battles. As such, he has no choice but to challenge the world."
He Yiming and the others kept quiet because it was their first time hearing about such a peculiar thing. Nevertheless, they also understood that Jin Zhanjiang was not someone who could not see the big picture and acted rashly; he did it on purpose.
For a powerhouse like him, as long as he could break through to become a Venerable One, not to mention offending the Bear Totem Clan, even if he offended all of the totem clans, he would not care at all.
After all, he was backed by the greatest sect in Great Shen — the Golden Spirit Palace.
"Hmph …"
Two soft snorts were heard from the high platform. This sound was extremely cold. It was as if a snowstorm had blown past. The Hou Tian cultivators below the platform couldn't help but shiver. Their eyes revealed a look of fear.
Xiong Wuji had a grave look on his face too. He was nervous when he looked at Li Mingxuan on the high platform.
Ai Wenbin blushed. He initially wanted to watch the show from the side, but he could tell that Li Mingxuan was mocking him. He sighed. He did not understand why the Ice Palace's big shot still disliked He Yiming since Yuan Lixun became Li Mingxuan's disciple. Nevertheless, since things had come to this, the Heavenly Lake's main branch could not stand by idly anymore, or they would become a laughing stock.
He stood up and said, "Nephew Jin, this is the Heavenly Lake's matter. I appreciate your kindness, but please take a seat."
A hint of regret flashed through Jin Zhanzheng's eyes. He glanced at Xiong Wuji and the big bear behind him, reluctant to part with them.
He was about to lose such a good opponent. He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Jin Zhanzheng glanced at Li Mingxuan from the corner of his eye and cursed internally, 'Old witch, you ruined my plan. I'll settle the score with you in the future.'
Needless to say, he was discreet and did not attract anyone's attention.
Li Mingxuan was a genuine Venerable One from Gathering Peak. Jin Zhanzheng was arrogant, but he was not an idiot. He would not ask for trouble when he knew he was no match for her.
Seeing as Jin Zhanzheng returned to his seat, Xiong Wuji was surprised. He asked, "Aren't you He Yiming from Mount Hengshan?"
Jin Zhanzheng laughed. "I'm Jin Zhanzheng from Great Shen. If you're interested, Brother Xiong, we can spar at any time after this."
Xiong Wuji glared at him angrily. Then, he turned around and ignored him completely.
Ai Wenbin smiled and said, "Xiong Wuji, you're here for He Yiming from Mount Hengshan?"
"Yes." Xiong Wuji cupped his fists and said, "Senior, He Yiming came to our totem clan and stole the wolf totem. He also colluded with Mount Hengshan and gathered helpers to kill hundreds of our envoys, envoys, and tribesmen. I'm here on the order of the Sacred Lord Kirin to arrest him and bring him to the deep mountains. "
Ai Wenbin's face was terribly gloomy. Xiong Wuji was strong, but he was only an envoy of the bear totem clan.
However, Ai Wenbin understood why the totem clan did this. If they really sent a Saint-level totem warrior here, the two sides would fall out completely, and there would be no room for negotiation.
Letting out a sigh, Ai Wenbin said, "Zhu Baqi, you tell him."
Zhu Baqi immediately stepped forward and narrated everything that had happened on Hengshan Mountain. She especially emphasized two points. Suo Ge and the others hadn't died under the joint attack of Hengshan Mountain's people. Instead, it was He Yiming who had chased them down for thousands of miles by himself. In addition, He Yiming had obtained the Ring of Five Elements, and someone had framed him. He also told the whole story.
Given his status, the tens of thousands of people on and off the platform were silent. It was not until he stopped talking that people began to whisper.
