Xiong Wuji's face was extremely solemn. Of course, he understood that Zhu Baqi explained in such detail not because he was afraid of him, but because he was afraid of the great power of the totem clan.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind. In fact, Xiong Wuji had completely believed Zhu Baqi's explanation. With his identity and status, if he still dared to lie under such circumstances, then from today onwards, Zhu Baqi would no longer have the face to see others.
Slowly glancing over the platform, Xiong Wuji said in a deep voice, "May I know which one of you is He Yiming from Mount Heng?"
Hearing Xiong Wuji mention his name, He Yiming couldn't help but smile. He strode to the edge of the platform and said, "I am He Yiming. Brother Xiong, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that He Yiming was so young, a commotion broke out again.
Zhu Baqi had said that he had killed over a hundred totem clansmen, including ten totem messengers, two great messengers, and two mutated spirit beasts of over a thousand years.
What a great record! The people below the platform didn't even dare to think about it. Naturally, they were in awe of him.
Xiong Wuji's eyes shone brightly as he stared at He Yiming. Behind him, the giant yellow bear, which had been silent since it arrived, suddenly lowered its body and let out a ferocious voice.
Taking a step back, Xiong Wuji gently stroked the giant bear's head, as if to comfort it.
"Brother Xiong, your spirit beast seems to be very dissatisfied with He," said He Yiming with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
It was true that the totem clan didn't like him at all, but so did He Yiming.
Xiong Wuji snorted coldly and said, "My partner said that you reeked of killing. Both the Red Wolf King and the Stone King were killed by you."
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "What a sensitive nose. It's even better than the Red Wolf King's."
Xiong Wuji said expressionlessly, "Whether or not someone is trying to frame you, it's not wrong for you to kill my totem people."
He Yiming laughed and said, "He has been staying in Hengshan Mountain. You Totem clansmen came to his door without any reason. Are you going to let He just wait for death?" His voice grew deeper and deeper, but it wasn't soft at all. The murderous intent in his voice was no less than Xiong Wuji's.
Xiong Wuji lowered his head and suddenly said, "It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. I only want to know whether you killed Suo Ge and the others on your own or because you were outnumbered."
He Yiming's expression turned cold as he said, "Of course it was He who did it. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Xiong Wuji raised his head, his eyes glittering, as if he had been waiting for the words.
However, before he could say anything, Ai Wenbin said loudly, "Xiong Wuji, what do you mean by this?"
Even Xiong Wuji didn't dare to be arrogant in front of a Venerable One, but he didn't show any fear either. Instead, he said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Before I came here, Great Elder Qilin said that if the totem clansmen died in a fair fight, it would be because they weren't skilled enough, and the matter would be settled by the Wolf Totem Clan, the Snake Totem Clan, and Tianchi. However, if Suo Ge and the others died in a siege, it would be a declaration of war against the entire totem clan. We will defend the honor of the totem clan with our lives. "
Ai Wenbin frowned slightly, but he was relieved. He said, "What do you plan to do now?"
"I've met Suo Ge and the Snake Ru several times, so I know their strength very well." Xiong Wuji's voice was deep and powerful like a big drum, where every word he said went straight to people's hearts. "As long as the 2 people from your sect below Venerable One can defeat me together, it'll be enough to prove that Suo Ge and the others died in a fair fight."
As soon as he said that, there was an uproar. Many disciples looked at him with strong hostility.
Those below Venerable One referred to all the powerhouses in One-Line-Sky. The fact that this person dared to boast so shamelessly and wanted to challenge 2 powerhouses in One-Line-Sky by himself naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Ai Wenbin's face darkened. He glanced at the man and the bear, then he suddenly said, "You're saying that they can defeat you and your partner, the yellow bear, right?"
Xiong Wuji straightened his chest and said in high spirits, "Totem emissaries have always been one with their beasts, and there's no distinction between them."
Everyone finally understood, and they focused on the giant yellow bear that was more than 3 meters tall. Everyone knew that it was a spirit beast, but not many people knew how powerful it could be when it was one with its beasts.
Jin Zhanzheng suddenly stood up and said, "Senior Ai, please allow me to fight."
Ai Wenbin was hesitating, but he heard Li Mingxuan say, "Nephew Jin, the Heavenly Lake's main branch has a lot of talents, and He Yiming is a rising star. As a guest, you can just watch from the side. You don't have to fight."
Jin Zhanzheng's face twitched, and he forced himself to sit back down. Even so, he was furious. If he did not know that he was not a match for Xiong Wuji, he would have challenged him long ago.
Ai Wenbin was also furious, but he was too embarrassed to refute Li Mingxuan's words. He glanced at the crowd and said, "Xiong Wuji, I should've asked He Yiming to fight you, but you broke into the Heavenly Lake Competition today. If I don't punish you, people will say that the Heavenly Lake has no capable people. How about this? I'll randomly pick 2 disciples from the Heavenly Lake to fight you. If you can defeat them, I'll allow you to challenge Yiming. "
Xiong Wuji bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your help, senior."
Ai Wenbin harrumphed and said, "You don't have to thank me. I'm afraid you can't even pass the first round."
A confident smile appeared on Xiong Wuji's face as he said, "As long as it's not a Venerable, if I'm defeated, the Totem Clan will no longer interfere with the feud between the Wolf Clan, the Snake Clan, and Heaven Lake."
His words were sonorous and forceful, making a sound when they landed on the ground.
For a moment, the entire square was silent. Apart from the whistling of the mountain wind, there was no other sound.
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, "This guy is so arrogant..."
Jin Zhanzheng's eyes were glittering, filled with a strong fighting spirit. If it was another occasion, he would have attacked without hesitation. However, looking at the 2 Venerables beside him, he could only force himself to suppress the thought.
Ai Wenbin said with a cold face, "Alright, then let me see what the Bear Totem Clan's powerhouse is capable of."
Although he was a magnanimous person, he was still enraged at this moment.
Xiong Wuji was looking down on the Heavenly Lake's main branch.
"Yang Hao, Zhou Datian, you two will do it." Ai Wenbin pointed at them casually. In the eyes of those who did not know, he seemed to have casually sent out the 2 of them.
However, when he mentioned the 2 lives, all the Innate Experts on the high platform were enlightened.
There were more than 10 Innate Experts on the high platform, but apart from Jin Zhanzheng, whose strength was unknown, and He Yiming, who was widely acknowledged as the No.1 in the Northwest, Yang Hao and Zhou Datian had the most profound cultivation of Martial Arts.
Both of them had condensed the Three Flowers. Although they had not reached the Culmination Realm, their strength was definitely among the best among their peers.
If the two of them were to join forces, even He Yiming would have to retreat. He was no match for them.
Yang Hao and Zhou Datian stepped forward at the same time and bowed, "Yes."
The 2 of them had different thoughts. As a disciple of the main branch, Yang Hao had long disliked Xiong Wuji's arrogance. Therefore, it was exactly what he wanted to do.
However, Zhou Datian was cursing in his heart. Although he had paid a great price to be on good terms with He Yiming, it was just a strategy. In his heart, he did not have the slightest good impression of He Yiming.
When Xiong Wuji came to him, he was even gloating over his misfortune. However, he did not expect that after a while, he would inexplicably fight for He Yiming.
Thinking of this, he was so depressed that he even wanted to burst into tears.
However, on this occasion, even if he were 10 times bolder, he would not dare to disobey Ai Wenbin's order.
Although the 2 of them had different thoughts, they immediately restrained themselves when they stepped down from the high platform and stood side by side in front of Xiong Wuji. It seemed that in their eyes, there was only the man and the bear in front of them.
Although it was 2 against 1, they did not have any grudges at all.
The strong killing intent from the giant yellow bear behind Xiong Wuji showed how powerful he was. Intelligent spirit beasts like him were usually more difficult to deal with than humans.
The 3 of them and the beast stood under the platform and faced each other from a distance. Strong auras gradually spread out from their bodies.
All the disciples in the Postnatal Realm sensibly stepped back, leaving enough space for them to fight. Fortunately, the square on the main peak was huge. Otherwise, after accommodating so many people, there would not be enough space.
He Yiming turned his eyes and took half a step back, then he said, "Elder Yu, Senior Ai is not the only Venerable with Culmination Realm in the main branch of the Heavenly Lake, right?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?" Yu Jinglei said without turning his head.
"If there is more than one, why don't I see the others?"
Yu Jing Lei shook his head and laughed, "Elder He, they're all Zun cultivators, of course they need to cultivate. Only during the centennial ceremony, all the strong cultivators of Tian Chi will show up. But during the ceremony, which happens once every ten years, a Zun cultivator will show up. It's already an incredible thing." He paused, then said, "If Venerable Li Mingxuan of the Ice Palace did not come this time, I'm afraid Senior Ai would not show up."
He Yiming was relieved. He turned his head and looked down from the high platform. The auras of both sides were getting stronger and stronger.
After a while, He Yiming and the other Innate Realm masters all looked serious.
Xiong Wuji and his giant yellow bear were vaguely gaining the upper hand in the battle of auras, firmly suppressing the two Three Flower Realm masters.
