The giant bear stood in the air like a small mountain. Its fur was pitch-black, except for the palm-sized red fur on its forehead, which was particularly eye-catching.
It was as if Xiong Tu was stepping on water. Translucent white ripples spread out in all directions, disappearing after reaching a distance of three meters. They were filled with destructive power. These were the demonic energy ripples that only Demon Kings could possess. It was a phenomenon that would only appear when one's Qi Blood had reached a certain level.
"Xiong Mo, this king gave you the King's Protection a few days ago. Why did you use it so quickly? Why are all your subordinates dead? What happened?"
This was only a projection of Xiong Tu, but when he spoke, the air naturally trembled. His voice was like a great bell in everyone's ears. It was unparalleled.
Anyone with a lower rank than Grand Scholar would instinctively show a humble expression when they saw Xiong Tu.
Xiong Mo pointed at Fang Yun with his bloodstained paw and said, "It's this human Grand Scholar … No, he's Hanlin, disguised as a Grand Scholar. He killed two thousand of my subordinates alone and almost killed me! If you can kill him, I'll tell you a great secret. "
Xiong Tu shook his head and said, "When I appeared, I used the power of the King's Protection to save you. Now, I only have a projection but no power. Killing him will be difficult, but … saving you will be easy. In this Bloodlight Ancient Lands, there is no one that I, Xiong Tu, cannot protect. Eh? Which scholar is here? Why don't you come out and meet me? "
Fang Yun was stunned. He did not expect a scholar to be spying on them. His heart tightened. After all, he was Hanlin. No matter how weak a scholar was, he had a natural advantage.
Although the scholars here were impulsive and bad-tempered like the people of the Bloodlight Ancient Lands, they had more combat experience than most of the scholars in Saint Yuan Continent.
"Sigh, I didn't expect this place to be so lively."
A thunderous voice came from the sky in the east. Everyone looked in that direction.
A white cloud rose from behind the mountain peak. On top of the white cloud stood a scholar in green robes with his hands behind his back.
"City Lord!" Everyone cried out.
Fang Yun was as stunned as everyone else. No one would have thought that Yun Zhaochen, the City Lord of Juyun City, would actually appear here.
Nie Que hurriedly jumped off his horse and said, "City Lord. Why did you come here personally? We've already spoken to the City Lord's Mansion, and we'll sell all the Saint Blood Jades to the City Lord's Mansion at a low price. "
Hearing Nie Que's words, Fang Yun, Yun He, and the others came to a realization. No wonder Nie Que and Yun Ao were so confident in snatching the Dragon Grain Rice and Saint Blood Jade. It turned out that he had long been in cahoots with the City Lord Manor.
Yun He gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Even the hot-tempered Kang Xingzhi remained silent.
Fang Yun watched the approaching Yun Zhaochen warily.
Yun Zhaochen stood on the cloud and scanned everyone. His gaze seemed to linger on Fang Yun for a moment. He smiled and said, "It's just the Dragon Grain Rice Field. It was not worth the Old Man coming in person. However, there's always a first come first serve rule. You guys go about your business first. When you're done, the Old Man will tell you the reason. "
Everyone felt as if they had fallen into a fog. They couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to say anything.
The translucent Bear Butcher turned to look at Yun Zhaochen, revealing an arrogant expression. He raised his head and asked, "How many palms can you take from me now?"
Everyone was shocked. This Bear Butcher was too arrogant. Even if everyone knew that Bear Butcher could defeat Yun Zhaochen, saying it in front of so many people was simply humiliating.
Yun Zhaochen's expression didn't change. A calm smile appeared on his aged face. He said, "I could only take five palms from you back then. Now, I can take four at most."
"Not bad. I've fought with more than half of the scholars. You're the most sensible. If you were born in the Saint Origin Continent, you would definitely become a great scholar, "Bear Butcher praised.
"Brother Bear Butcher, you're too kind. If you were born in the Demon Realm, you would definitely be a Great Demon King now, "Yun Zhaochen said.
Bear Butcher said, "It's a waste of energy for me to speak here, so I won't talk to you anymore. This Xiong Mo is mine. "
Yun Zhaochen looked at Bear Butcher and smiled without saying anything.
Bear Butcher's expression changed. He opened his mouth slightly, revealing his sharp teeth. He said sternly, "What? Yun Zhaochen, you dare not give me face? Do you believe that I'll personally lead an army to destroy your Juyun City? "
Yun Zhaochen chuckled. He said, "Brother Bear Butcher, you've misunderstood. I'm just a bystander. I don't know Xiong Mo and that scholar from Hanlin Academy. Whether Xiong Mo stays or not, it's not up to me. You have to ask the main character!"
Most scholars didn't think much of it, but a minority felt that there was more to the words "scholar from Hanlin Academy."
Bear Butcher looked at Fang Yun in confusion and said to Yun Zhaochen, "Don't lie to me. You're a scholar and have the same surname as him. He has to listen to you!"
Yun Zhaochen smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Bear Butcher, do you think I'd lie to you over such a small matter? You'd better ask the main character, who might be called Yun Fang. "
Fang Yun's eyes flashed as he looked at Yun Zhaochen carefully. That "might" was definitely not a groundless statement.
Yun Zhaochen happened to look over. He smiled and nodded at Fang Yun lightly, as if greeting him.
Fang Yun didn't know what Yun Zhaochen was up to, but he nodded lightly in return.
Bear Butcher looked at Yun Zhaochen carefully and made sure that he wasn't joking. Only then did he turn to Fang Yun.
"Who are you? How did you defeat Xiong Mo's army by yourself?"
"Because I'm just a little bit stronger than Xiong Mo," Fang Yun said with a smile.
The scholars around Fang Yun felt helpless. This answer wasn't a good one at all.
"You dare to make fun of me?" Bear Butcher's expression changed.
Fang Yun had long known that the Barbarians were violent and unreasonable. This was even more so in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands.
"You're the one wasting my time!" Fang Yun retorted without holding back.
"You've got guts! Hmph, give me some face and let Xiong Mo leave. If you're attacked by the Bear Tribe in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands in the future, mention my name and I'll spare your life. "
Fang Yun smiled indifferently. "You're not worthy of mentioning face in front of Bensei."
Fang Yun's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
"How dare you!" Bear Butcher was furious.
Thousands of people took half a step back in fright. This was the Bear Tribe's strongest Demon King!
All the scholars, including Yun Zhaochen, were puzzled because Fang Yun had indeed said the two words "Bensei". However, it was inconceivable for such a young Hanlin to call himself "Bensei". Everyone instinctively thought that Fang Yun had misspoken.
"That's what everyone says," Fang Yun answered honestly.
Yun Zhaochen, who was standing in the air, smiled. He found this rather interesting, but the doubt in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Are you Half-saint's clone?" Bear Butcher questioned.
"No," Fang Yun said.
Bear Butcher was unable to restrain his anger. "A mere Hanlin dares to call himself a Holy Dao Ancestor in front of me? You're simply looking down on me. Let me tell you, if Xiong Mo dies on Axe Mountain, I'll bury your entire city with him! "
Yun Ao and Nie Que looked at Fang Yun with pity in their eyes. It was as if they were looking at an idiot.
Bear Butcher's projection had no power, but his true body could easily kill anyone in the Bloodlight Ancient Lands apart from Wei Huangan.
"Then I'll kill you as well," Fang Yun said.
