Among Xiao Yuanjing's group.
Bai Shaoyu stood side by side with him and said with a cold expression, "I saw that brat with the surname Ye. I didn't expect him to dare to participate in our exchange. Why did you stop me from killing him just now?!"
"What's the hurry?"
Xiao Yuanjing maintained his calm expression, "Don't forget that this person also has a netherworld token. If you attacked just now, can you guarantee that Xiang Nan and the rest won't stop us because of the netherworld token?"
Bai Shaoyu snorted coldly and was rather indignant, "Then are we just going to watch that brat act so smug in front of us?"
"Since this person is here to participate in this exchange, I'm sure he wants to board the ghost ship. Arrange for someone to challenge him during the exchange."
Xiao Yuanjing smiled noncommittally, "As long as we snatch his netherworld token, he'll no longer be of any use to Xiang Nan and the rest. By then, won't we be able to do whatever we want to him?"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
…
On the 20th floor of the Yang City International Hotel, in the spacious hall.
At this moment, everyone in the hall took their seats.
The Bai, Duan, Lin, and Du families led by the Xiao family sat on one side, while the Tang, Xiang, Tong, and Liu families led by the Luo family sat on the other side.
Du family's Du Zong glanced at Luo Shuiyao and the rest coldly and said with a fake smile, "Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng, Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming from your family didn't come. Don't tell me you're afraid?"
His words were immediately echoed by many people.
Both parties had been fighting openly and secretly in Shang Santian. Now that the younger generation had gathered, naturally, both parties were unhappy with each other.
Luo Shuiyao was not angry. Instead, she looked at Du Zong with disdain and said, "Du Zong, do you dare to say that to my big brother?"
Du Zong's tone froze, "You …"
To be honest, he really did not dare to!
"What about you?"
Luo Shuiyao snorted coldly, "Have you forgotten who was almost killed by my big brother with a single slash? Who knelt before him and begged for mercy?"
"Hahaha!"
Her words naturally caused Xiang Nan and the others to laugh out loud. Even many people in the Xiao family's camp could not hold back their laughter.
Previously, Du Zong had bullied Luo Shuiyao because he was on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard. When Luo Tianya found out about it, he barged into the Du residence alone and forced Du Zong to kneel and apologize in front of everyone.
The upper echelons of the Du Family were furious, but they did not dare to say anything. This was a contest between the younger generation. Not only would it be shameful for the older generation to make a move, but the older generation of the Luo Family would also not sit idly by.
After all, Luo Tianya was not called the Crazy Sister Protector for nothing!
Du Zong's face flushed red when he heard everyone's laughter. He could not help but stand up and coldly stare at Luo Shuiyao. "You …"
"Enough!"
At this moment, Xiao Yuanjing, who was seated at the head of the table, spoke slowly.
The entire hall quietened down.
Xiao Yuanjing scanned the crowd expressionlessly before his gaze finally landed on Luo Shuiyao and the rest. He said with a smile, "Shuiyao, I believe Shuhui has told you guys that the purpose of today's exchange is to discuss the ghost ship and redistribute the netherworld token."
"I wonder what you guys have thought about it?"
As soon as he said that, Luo Shuiyao glanced at Xiang Nan and the rest before saying, "There's no need to think about it. We've agreed. We were just about to fall asleep when you guys took the initiative to give us a pillow. How could we not agree?"
"Alright!"
Xiao Yuanjing looked at Xiang Nan, Tong Shuhui, and the rest. Seeing that they had no objections, he said slowly, "Since that's the case, I'll explain the details. Each side will send one person to challenge, and the winner will obtain the netherworld token from the other party."
At this point, he added, "Of course, since Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming aren't here, for the sake of fairness, not only will I not make a move, even the people on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard won't make a move. The challenger's strength is limited to intermediate-level martial venerable. What do you guys think?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, "No objections!"
She regretted it after saying that. She looked at Ye Chen by instinct, her pretty face was filled with guilt.
That was because she suddenly recalled that Xiao Yuanjing said that the challengers were limited to intermediate-level martial venerables. Although Ye Chen had killed Xiao Yang and the rest, they were only beginner-level martial venerables.
The beginner-level and intermediate-level seemed to be only one level apart, but to martial venerables, this level was like heaven and earth.
However, Ye Chen only nodded at her lightly.
Xiao Yuanjing stroked his hands lightly and said with determination, "Alright, since that's the case, let's draw lots. The party who draws the long lot will initiate the challenge!"
Following that, Luo Shuiyao walked out and drew lots with a young man from the Xiao clan. Fortunately, Luo Shuiyao drew the long lot.
Tong Shuhui and the rest secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Luo Shuiyao would draw the short lot and give the initiative to the other party.
Xiao Yuanjing looked at the scene and said with a faint smile, "You guys drew the long lot, so the initiative belongs to you. Who do you plan to send to challenge which clan?"
Luo Shuiyao could not help but look at Xiang Nan and the rest.
Tong Shuhui sized everyone up and said with a frown, "Jian Feng, Liu Qing, Xiang Heng, which one of you will represent us to challenge?"
"I'll go!"
Xiang Heng, who was eager to give it a try, was the first to speak, "Don't worry, I'll definitely win a netherworld token for us."
He glanced at Ye Chen coldly as he said to this point, "I'll show someone that I, Xiang Heng, am not a piece of trash like Xiao Yang!"
Earlier, Liu Qing had said that if he attacked Ye Chen and got killed, he should not blame anyone else. He still remembered that.
"Alright, you go. Be careful!"
Xiang Nan nodded slightly. He was well aware of Xiang Heng's strength. He was an intermediate-level martial venerable and had mastered the Xiao clan's mysterious-grade martial technique, the Rolling Thunder Cloud Palm. Even among intermediate-level martial venerables, he was one of the best.
Seeing that Liu Yunfeng and Tong Shuhui had no objections, Xiang Heng took a step forward and leaped out. In the end, he landed at the spot that had been vacated.
Shang Santian's formation was set up here. Even if several intermediate-level martial venerables fought at the same time, it would not affect the formation at all.
Xiang Heng swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted, "Xiang Heng of the Xiang clan, intermediate-level martial venerable. Which one of you wants to come and challenge me?"
"I'll do it!"
As a faint voice sounded, a young man with a birthmark on the left side of his face leaped out from the Xiao clan's camp, "Duan Hu of the Duan clan, intermediate-level martial venerable!"
"Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before? "
"He seems to be from the Duan clan!"
"…"
Tong Shuhui, Xiang Nan, and the rest looked at each other when they saw each other. They saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes. Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng shook their heads as well, indicating that they had not seen each other before.
That was because anyone who had cultivated to intermediate-level martial venerable before the age of 30 was considered a genius. It was impossible for them to not know each other.
Just at this moment, a slightly regretful voice rang out, causing everyone's eyes to narrow.
"Xiang Heng is going to lose!"
