With a taut face, Fang Xing sent off the Nimble Technique Sect disciple Xin Jianyu with his eyes. Then, he suddenly smiled. Carrying the child, he looked at Dragon Girl again. At this moment, Dragon Girl actually had a feeling of fear and trepidation. She was afraid that this little bastard would say something that she couldn't defend herself against, and that she had no choice but to defend herself … Speaking of which, it was laughable. This Princess Hai Lan Hai was really afraid of this little devil's mouth.
"Enough!"
But at this moment, there was a sudden shout. The sound was like the sound of a sword, shaking the Taoist Palace and forcibly suppressing all other voices.
Like the sound of a sword, the sound cut off all other voices.
He forced everyone present to look at him.
The one who spoke was the great swordsman Yun Du of the Yun family of the Bitter Sea who was less than a hundred years old. This cultivator, who was barefooted and dressed in linen, and had no weapons or runes on his body, raised his head and coldly swept his gaze across the crowd. He paused for a moment on the face of Fang Xing, and then said in an awe-inspiring voice, "I don't like things that are too troublesome, and I can't be bothered. Today, I am here on the orders of the ancestor to complete the engagement with the Grand Princess. Since the ceremony has ended, there is no need to wait until tomorrow's battle. I just want to ask, who dares to compete with me?"
His awe-inspiring voice caused the scene to quiet down a little, and then there was a low murmur of discussion.
Most of the immortals had already completed their goals, and were only waiting for the final negotiation to decide on a plan to divide the benefits equally.
To put it simply, there was nothing for them to do.
After all, they were all sects and forces of the Northern Region of the Divine Continent. To a certain extent, they advanced and retreated together, and it was impossible for them to fight to the death for a woman.
However, there were also exceptions, such as Yun Du of the Bitter Sea, Xie Linfuan of the Talisman Tools Dao, Wen Yiru, and the Little Demon Nan Zhan, who kept saying that he wanted to bring his child to meet his mother. Amongst the four of them, the first three had received the orders of their clans. Not only did they want to sign the Four Seas Alliance, they also wanted to seize the position of leader and control the leadership of the alliance. As for who would be the leader, it was very simple. It had already been determined when the alliance was secretly circulated. Whoever could set a marriage contract with the Grand Princess would naturally become the leader of the Four Seas Alliance.
The Dragon Palace of Canglan Sea ruled the four oceans. Now that the Royal Court was in chaos, the powers in the four oceans were all restless. No one knew how many of them had joined Dragon Mother's side, and how many were still secretly loyal to the orthodox dragon clan. Currently, Dragon Lady couldn't show up in public and unite those powers. Otherwise, the moment the decree was issued, she would have died for no reason before all the powers in the four oceans who were loyal to the orthodox dragon clan could be united. However, once she had the power to protect herself, she could raise her banner in public, and no one knew how many sea creatures would join her.
And the power of these Sea Clan was equivalent to the Dragon Lady's dowry. The important task of restoring the Dragon Palace was the betrothal gift of her husband's family. Finally, after the Dragon Palace was restored, the huge resources in the Four Seas would be the motivation for the sects and forces of the Northern Region to join the Alliance of the Four Seas.
In order to become the leader of the Alliance of the Four Seas, one had to marry the Dragon Lady. This was actually a restriction. After all, if one had a nominal engagement with the Dragon Lady, announcing it to the world would be equivalent to shedding all pretense of cordiality with the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea. There would be no way out. Although they could gain more benefits in the process of fighting with the Dragon Queen of the Azure Sea, they would also have to bear a great deal of danger. Therefore, although there were many forces that joined the Alliance of the Four Seas, only these three forces had the guts and the heart to invite the Dragon Lady back.
As for Fang Xing, this old man's thinking was even simpler. He just wanted to find a mother for his child!
He had wanted to use underhanded methods to force all the competitors to back off. After all, you can't marry my child's mother, right?
To a certain extent, he had indeed succeeded.
However, it was not of much use. The people who had really come for the Dragon Lady were the small cultivators who had come from all over in hopes of marrying a beautiful lady. They could only join in the fun and basically did not even have the right to enter the Dao Palace.
And in the eyes of those who had entered the Dao Palace and could even participate in the final battle for the championship, their main goal was not the Dragon Lady!
This sentence, which was filled with sword Qi, had a domineering aura that cut into people's hearts coldly.
For a moment, no one in the Hall of Dao spoke.
Even the Talisman Tools Path successor disciple Xie Linfuan, who was publicly acknowledged to have a fierce battle with Ku Hai Yundu, as well as the Wen Clan's youngest great talisman master Wen Yiru, did not jump out to oppose Ku Hai Yundu at this moment, let alone the other unknown cultivators.
"Yun Du is a sword genius of the Yun Family of the Bitter Sea Sword Principle. He once killed a Golden Core with his sword when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, his cultivation advanced and he formed a Golden Core. However, he only secluded himself to understand the Dao of the Sword and rarely used his sword. It was only two years ago that he sparred with Xiao Xue, a sword genius from the Nan Zhan. He defeated her easily and even destroyed her meridians and Sword's Resolve …"
"That lady is also extraordinary. She once left her name on the Xuan Domain Stone Tablet of the Nan Zhan and was later taken in as a direct disciple by the Severing Emotions Sect. She has a bright future and is one of the few disciples who came to the Divine Continent four years ago. Even in the Divine Continent, she is one of the few sword geniuses. It is a pity that she fought with Yun Du when she was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and ended up being a cripple!"
"Ha, she is not strong enough and forced herself to stand out. Who else would be unlucky if not her? Ku Haiyun cultivates the Slaughter Sword Dao alone, and he loves to slay other sword dao geniuses of the same kind to sharpen his sword. That Nan Zhan's so-called genius is just courting death! "
For a moment, whispers could be heard and the cultivators looked at Yun Du with uncertainty.
Amidst the discussions, Fang Xing carried his child and looked at Yun Du with a gloomy gaze.
At this moment, Yun Du also looked over with a cold gaze, "I've heard of your name. Back then, that woman was defeated by me. I asked her if my sword could overturn the Sword Dao of the Divine Prefecture, but she refused to admit it. She said that if the true number one person among the younger generation of Nan Zhan were here, I wouldn't even have the chance to use my sword. Because of this, I decided to cripple her. Since you're here today, do you dare to take my sword?"
Fang Xing's expression was strange, but he didn't have the cheeky smile he had just now. He looked at Yun Du from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top. Only when this great swordsman looked angry did he suddenly say, "What was your cultivation at that time?"
Yun Du's gaze turned cold and he said after a while, "Golden Core Fourth Transformation!"
Fang Xing scoffed and said, "A Golden Core Fourth Transformation defeated a Foundation Establishment Realm lady. Are you very powerful?"
Annoyance flashed in Yun Du's eyes and he was filled with killing intent. He shouted coldly, "I cultivate the sword and respect my opponent. As long as I pull my sword out of the sheath, be it Lingdong or Yuanying, or even Tribulation Transcendence, I will give it my all. It doesn't matter if she is at Foundation Establishment or Golden Core. As long as she is standing in front of me, she has to have the resolve to take my sword!"
Fang Xing smiled and nodded. "But you don't have to cripple her, do you?"
Yun Du's eyes turned cold. "You lost the bet. What else is there to say?"
Fang Xing scoffed and said, "In other words, you will accept it if someone uses their cultivation level to suppress you?"
Yun Du raised his eyes. "Do you have the ability to suppress me?"
Fang Xing said with a smile, "This young master has the ability to make you unable to cry even if you want to!"
When the two of them were talking, no one in the Hall of Dao made a sound. When the elder of the Tianyi Palace heard this, he instructed the disciples beside him in a low voice and went out to arrange the venue for the battle. Originally, the final victory was arranged for the second day. However, this little devil was really annoying. He faintly felt that he was unable to recruit a son-in-law, so he quickly used Yun Du's sword to subdue him!
All the cultivators were secretly surprised. They did not expect that the first battle would be between Yun Du of the Bitter Sea and Nan Zhan!
Seeing this, Xie Linfuan sneered inwardly. This was what he wanted to see the most.
In the end, things had returned to the direction that Dao Wufang had predicted. Yun Du of the Bitter Sea's Yun Family was a genius that Song Guichan had personally recruited into the Dao Defense League. As for Wen Yiru of the Wen Family, although he had never joined the Dao Defense League, he was a good friend of Song Guichan. He had already put pressure on Xie Linfuan and Dao Wufang. On the surface, they appeared to be harmonious, but in reality, they were fighting for the peak. Although the overall strength of the two sides was difficult to determine, and because they were both in the Northern Domain, it was impossible to determine who was stronger. However, in the confrontation between the younger generation, he and Dao Wufang, who represented the younger generation, were at a disadvantage. This time, the selection of a son-in-law for the Dragon Lady was actually a process of them fighting.
Simply put, the Yuanying cultivators had already retreated behind the scenes. They were only thinking about how to transcend the tribulation, or how to plan for the bigger picture. Normally, they would not participate in this kind of open and secret struggle. Occasionally, they would give some pointers, but it was only to prevent the overall situation from collapsing too much. On the surface, they had long since been handed over to the younger generation of the Golden Core Realm. Even the positions of clan leader and sect leader were mostly held by Golden Core Realm cultivators. This kind of phenomenon was similar in the four regions, and it was not unique to the Divine Continent.
Although Xie Linfuan and the others were not very old, usually under three hundred years old, they already represented a power. In this kind of situation, even if they lost in the battle, the Yuanying behind them would only pinch their noses and accept it.
It was precisely because he was at a disadvantage that he had joined forces with Dao Wufang to take control of the Four Seas Alliance.
If it weren't for these entanglements of interest, his sword embryo really wouldn't have been able to get Dao Wufang to help him so wholeheartedly.
This time, he, Yun Hai, Jian Du, and Wen Yi Ru were the three people who were more or less close to Song Guichan. Although the two of them would also fight for the Dragon Lady, they seemed to want to take him down first. If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would eliminate him first, and then they would fight for the Dragon Lady. However, Dao Wu Fang was the host, so he couldn't participate.
This was the reason why Xie Linfuan had always been eager to rope in Fang Xing.
Yet now, the battle between Yun Du and Fang Xing hadn't even begun, yet it had already aroused the flames of rage. It was obvious that no matter who won this battle, the other wouldn't have it easy. Thus, he didn't have to worry about being targeted, and he just had to calmly deal with his enemies …
