Yu Sheng's name spread throughout Crimson Dragon City at an alarming rate, and it even spread to the major cities around the city.
He had defeated all the geniuses at the Battle of the Crimson River, including Xing Chou of the Ancient Imperial City, Xiang Nan of Xiang City, and Kong Xuan and Kong Zhan of the Peacock City. What kind of battle power was this? Many people lamented that they had not been able to watch the battle in person. They had heard that Yu Sheng had defeated all the top figures by himself, and all the top figures had been defeated by him.
Qianye City was also shaken. Ye Futian had brought people to destroy the Bliss Palace and had become famous. Later, he had become the City Lord of Qianye City, making everyone know him.
No one had expected Yu Sheng to be so terrifying.
What kind of extraordinary figure had come from Emperor Xia's Realm this time?
Both of them were so strong.
And Princess Xia Qingyuan of Emperor Xia's Realm had not made a move yet. Her strength was definitely not weak.
In the City Lord's Office of Qianye City, Shen Jun had also heard the news. After many days of healing, he was gradually recovering.
At that moment, in the courtyard, Shen Jun heard the report and sighed.
It was funny that he had wanted to use Ye Futian and Yu Sheng. Little did he know that he did not exist in their eyes.
He had asked Yu Sheng to participate in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, and Yu Sheng had not only won. Now, even in the Battle of Crimson River, he had entered the Regional Palace.
The Regional Palace was the holy land of cultivation that Shen Jun had dreamed of. He had always wanted to go in and see what was inside and what kind of geniuses there were.
And now, Yu Sheng had done it.
A figure walked over. It was Shen Jun's father, Shen Tianzhan. After he had been defeated by the Great Shaman, he had stayed in the City Lord's Office.
"You know?" Shen Tianzhan looked at him and asked.
"Yes." Shen Jun nodded.
"Those who come out of the Regional Palace are at least Unblemished Saints. Over the years, there have been many Nirvana Saints. Some have stayed in Crimson Dragon City, and some have left the Crimson Dragon Region. There have even been Renhuangs." Shen Tianzhan said, "I heard that Yu Sheng was stronger than many of the previous ones at the Battle of Crimson River. He will at least become a Nirvana Saint in the future."
Shen Jun was speechless. He naturally understood this, so he sighed.
"The people from Emperor Xia's Realm have come, and Ye Futian is the City Lord of Qianye City. What do you think of his relationship with Yu Sheng?" Shen Tianzhan asked.
"Very good. The group was led by Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan. Yu Sheng was probably a good friend of his, doing whatever he told him to do. Their relationship was extraordinary," Shen Jun said.
"You're really lucky. I sent you to Fu Sang Valley to train, and on your way back, you met several people with the potential to become Nirvana Saints," Shen Tianzhan said. Shen Jun lowered his head. He naturally understood the meaning behind his father's words.
With such luck, what was he thinking and what had he done?
"It was not easy for you to enter the Divine Path. I once advised you not only to be open-minded, but also to broaden your horizons. Unfortunately, your horizons are only limited to a city." Shen Tianzhan sighed. No one knew a son better than a father.
Shen Jun was talented, but his horizons were limited, and his vision was too narrow.
Shen Jun's vision was limited to a single city. He would not have thought of using others to participate in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon otherwise and gain some treasures.
With such a vision, it was destined that even if he entered the Divine Path, his achievements would be limited.
Shen Jun lowered his head in shame.
"Don't hold any grudges in your heart during this time. Reflect on yourself," Shen Tianzhan said, and then left.
"Yes, father," Shen Jun lowered his head and answered. Even if he held grudges, what could he do?
It was not like he could fight Emperor Xia's Realm.
…
One day, Li Yao came to the Peacock City with a group of people.
Kong Zhan and Peacock City met Li Yao in the city lord's office.
"Congratulations to Princess Kong Xuan for entering the Saint Plane. These are some gifts. Please accept them," Li Yao ordered people to present gifts.
"There's no need for that," Kong Xuan took a look at Li Yao and said. Her people did not accept the gift from Li Yao.
"Why are you here?" Kong Xuan asked.
Before the Battle of the Crimson River, Li Yao had come to her to discuss how to take down Yu Sheng and the others.
But just like in the Battle of Empty Realm, the final winner was still Emperor Xia's Realm. Fortunately, they did not lose too badly, and she successfully entered the Saint Plane.
"To tell you the truth, Princess Kong Xuan, this time I brought people to the Crimson Dragon Realm for Ye Futian. Both this person and Yu Sheng have extraordinary talents. If we do not take them down, they will become a disaster for Dali and the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm in the future. So I deliberately came to invite you to join forces again. What do you think?" Li Yao said.
"This is between Dali and Ye Futian. I will not interfere," Kong Xuan refused directly.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's talents had been shown one after another. Looking at the relationship between Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan, it seemed that there was something going on.
Perhaps Emperor Xia saw him as a son-in-law.
If she touched Ye Futian, it would probably cause a great commotion. She would not make a decision on her own and start a war.
The war between the Emperor's Realms was not something she could decide.
Moreover, Li Yao had an excuse to deal with Ye Futian. What excuse did the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm have to make a move?
They could watch the show, so why should they do it themselves?
"Princess Kong Xuan, have you forgotten how Ye Futian treated all of you in the Battle of Empty Realm? If he is of a higher plane, he will be a great threat to the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm, "Li Yao reminded. Naturally, he was referring to Ye Futian's ability to control demonic beasts.
Kong Xuan frowned and seemed to be a little unhappy. "That was the Battle of Empty Realm. Any means could be used. Ye Futian has already apologized. If he dares to do it again in the future, the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm will not let him go. Li Yao, you broke the rules and wanted to kill Ye Futian in the Battle of Empty Realm. You did not succeed. Later, I heard that Ye Futian turned into the Seventh Swordsman and cultivated in Dali. You don't have to involve us in your grudges."
Li Yao's expression suddenly became gloomy. He looked at Kong Xuan and smiled. "It seems that after several battles, Princess Kong Xuan no longer dares to make an enemy of Ye Futian and the others. In that case, I will take my leave."
He turned around and left after saying that.
Kong Xuan glanced at his departing figure. She naturally understood that Li Yao was referring to her two defeats, once to Ye Futian and once to Yu Sheng.
Those battles had indeed left a deep impression on her.
Although she was very unhappy, there were some things that she had to admit.
After Li Yao left, his expression was a little gloomy. He did not expect that after the Battle of the Crimson River, Kong Xuan's resentment towards Ye Futian and the others had faded. Had she been beaten into submission?
It seemed that there was no hope for the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm to join forces with them.
Kong Xuan's attitude had left no room for negotiation.
"Let's go to Xiang City," said Li Yao in a low voice. Then he stepped out and the group left, heading straight for Xiang City.
…
Li Yao wanted to visit Xiang Nan in the Xiang City Lord's Residence.
But he did not see him immediately. Someone stopped him and said, "His Highness is cultivating in seclusion. I will pass on the message, Your Highness Li Yao."
Li Yao laughed inwardly. Cultivating in seclusion was a lie. He was really recovering from his injuries.
During the Battle of the Crimson River, Yu Sheng had not shown any mercy at all.
"It's about the Emperor-level treasure. It's a big deal. I'm afraid you can't make the decision," said Li Yao.
A strange look came over the man's face. Emperor-level?
What did Li Yao mean by that?
"I'll pass on the message," said the Saint after a moment of hesitation. He then went to report. After a while, he came back and said to Li Yao, "His Highness Nan wants to see you."
"Thank you," said Li Yao with a smile. He then followed the Saint.
This time, he would visit the Demon Peacock City, Xiang City, and the Ancient Imperial City. As long as one of them succeeded, it would be enough. The next battle would be foolproof.
These three cities were all terrifyingly powerful. The first two were built by Renhuangs. The Ninth Servant, the Lord of the Ancient Imperial City, was known as the first Lord of all the cities.
However, Kong Xuan had refused to cooperate. Next, he hoped that Xiang City would succeed.
Li Yao soon saw Xiang Nan. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked very handsome. It was as if he had never been injured.
He sat there, smiled at Li Yao, and said, "Sit."
Li Yao sat down and heard Xiang Nan say, "Let's cut the crap. What can I do for you, Brother Li Yao?"
Li Yao looked around. Suddenly, Xiang Nan waved his hand, and everyone around him left. He was not worried that Li Yao would dare to do anything to him.
"I have heard of Emperor Xiang's Realm. It is a very powerful realm in the Crimson Dragon Realm. Therefore, I have come today to cooperate with you," said Li Yao straightforwardly.
"What kind of cooperation?" asked Xiang Nan.
"Dali has some grievances with Ye Futian of Emperor Xia's Realm. Ye Futian, the Lord of Qianye City, once snuck into Dali Dynasty and secretly learned cultivation methods. He even learned a Renhuang-level method of our Dali Dynasty. Therefore, this time I have come from Dali to deal with him," said Li Yao.
"However, Ye Futian is guarded by cultivators, and we of Dali are not absolutely sure that we can take him down. Therefore, we want to find an ally. If Emperor Xiang's Realm can ally with us, after we take him down, I can hand him over to Emperor Xiang's Realm for a while."
Of course, this was a hint that Emperor Xiang's Realm could interrogate him about Renhuang-level methods. This was a great temptation.
"How can I be sure that this is true?" asked Xiang Nan.
"The Imperial Advisor of Dali is highly regarded by my father, and he is respected by countless cultivators of Dali. The method he cultivates is called the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, which is definitely above the Saint level. If Emperor Xiang's Realm asks around, they will know that Ye Futian indeed learned it."
Li Yao continued, "Moreover, are you not interested in the demonic method that Yu Sheng cultivated after the Battle of the Crimson River?"
A cold look flashed in Xiang Nan's eyes when he heard the name Yu Sheng.
Of course, he could not forget the Battle of the Crimson River. Yu Sheng had pressed him to the ground with one palm.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life as a cultivator.
That demonic method was indeed very strong.
"Is there no grudge between Emperor Xiang's Realm and Emperor Xia's Realm?" asked Xiang Nan.
"This is not a grudge between Emperor Xiang's Realm and Emperor Xia's Realm. But can't Emperor Xiang's Realm take another city? Moreover, we have no intention of doing anything to Xia Qingyuan. " Li Yao continued, "Ye Futian and Yu Sheng were once cultivators of the Lower Worlds of Emperor Xia's Realm. Princess Xia Qingyuan valued them because of their outstanding talent."
A smile flashed in Xiang Nan's eyes when he heard Li Yao's words. It seemed that it was indeed tempting!
