"Face?" Lei Jian heard the intention of the other party to pressure him and burst out laughing.
Pressuring others with power?
He loved nothing more than pressuring others with power.
"What face do you have? A mere servant girl, have your young master come and negotiate in person."
"Million Shadow, is my face enough?"
At this moment, a young man's voice came from the private room.
The voice sounded very young but carried a kind of inherent arrogance, as if born superior.
"Million Shadow?!"
"It's actually Million Shadow?!"
"I didn't expect it to be the Young Shadowless Gentleman!"
The moment the arrogant voice pronounced his name, it immediately caused a sensation in the crowd, even the martial artists who were trying to hide their identities couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Million Shadow?"
Upon hearing this name, Lei Jian's expression changed slightly, "This is not a small trouble, but a big one."
"Million Shadow? Who is that?"
"The younger brother of Million Change, only eighteen years old, with a cultivation of the ninth level of refining true, a top genius who has mastered the Moon Demon Sword Art to perfection, and his combat power is not inferior to a typical ten-level refiner. He is known as the Young Shadowless Gentleman! It is rumored that once he overcomes his shortage of true qi, he will break through to become a top-tier expert not inferior to the top ten sons."
Lei Jian turned to Liu Qinghe and said, "Double Twin Sect! Million Change and Young Shadowless Gentleman, both are similar to you and Lu Qingyun, but they have gained more fame over the years than you and your sister, Lu Qingyun."
"The ninth level of refining true is not inferior to the typical ten-level refiner," Liu Qinghe murmured.
Geniuses in this world were not limited to just him, Liu Qinghe.
"Million Shadow has obviously come for the Primordial Crystal. He only needs to use the power of the Primordial Crystal to breakthrough to the tenth level of refining true and immediately have the strength not inferior to the top ten sons, making his way to the inheritance academy quota as easy as pie."
Lei Jian looked a little serious.
Involving the quota for the inheritance academy, Lei Jian could already imagine that if he and Liu Qinghe were to get this piece of Primordial Crystal, they would inevitably fall out with Million Shadow, and even his brother, Million Change, one of the top ten sons.
"You all have learned of my identity. Is my face enough? If you still want to bid, be prepared to pay the price for your choice." Once again, the indifferent voice of Million Shadow came from the private room.
Originally, Lei Jian was still hesitating, wondering whether it was worth offending Wan Wuying, a major enemy, for a piece of Primordial Element Crystal. But Wan Wuying's threatening words only fueled Lei Jian's anger.
"Hahaha, Wan Wuying, you are not even one of the top ten young lords of the Eternal Kingdom yet. If you were to become one, wouldn't that be ridiculous? Everyone in the world would have to look up to you? Are you prepared to pay the price for your choice? I am ready, and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Smack!"
It sounded like the closing of a folding fan. Then, a young and handsome man emerged from the private room, along with three equally beautiful women who were at the ninth level of True Refinement in their cultivation.
"It is rumored that the Shadow Young Lord, like his senior brother Wan Wuying, always travels with four beautiful women by his side. I thought it was just a rumor, but here I am, lucky enough to witness it today."
"Beautiful women are easy to find, but it's extremely rare to find women at the ninth level of True Refinement. Any young woman who can reach the ninth level of True Refinement can be called a daughter of heaven. It's not easy to make such outstanding women become his attendants."
"To be guarded by such four national beauties is worth dying for."
Seeing the three snow-white clad, beautifully faced women behind Young Lord Shadow, along with the man who had come out earlier, the onlookers couldn't help but express various sighs.
Four beautiful women, along with the handsome, elegant Young Lord Shadow, holding a fan and an exquisite jade hanging from his waist, presented a scene that could only be envied by many.
"Announce your name when you arrive, for under my sword, Wan Wuying, I do not slay nameless beings."
Wan Wuying handed the fan to a nearby person, and one of his attendants took it. Then, another attendant on his right brought forth an exquisitely mounted sword.
"Pah, I, the grandpa, never change my name or surname. I am Lei Jian from the Blue Moon Lake."
"Lei Jian of the Blue Moon Lake?"
Initially indifferent, Wan Wuying's manner finally showed some seriousness upon hearing this name. The shining sword handed to him by his attendant was slowly drawn out.
"I've heard of this person. It's said that he is the most outstanding among the inner disciples of the Immortal Questioning Sect, having already cultivated to the tenth level of True Refinement!"
"Lei Jian, this hero, I have also heard of. He is one of the top strongmen in the Immortal Questioning Sect, only second to Young Lord Questioning in the sect."
"I didn't expect it to be Lei Jian from the Immortal Questioning Sect. Lei Jian and Wan Wuying, both are top-level strongmen at the True Refinement stage. Once they clash, it will be a fierce battle."
Although Lei Jian's reputation in the Eternal City was not as bright as that of Wan Wuying, he was quite renowned among the high-level practitioners of the Eternal Kingdom. As soon as he announced his name, many people recognized his identity.
"The Immortal Questioning Sect, a sect that has never had a star-level strongman. It dares to claim itself as a holy land. If it weren't for the rumors about immortals surrounding the Immortal Questioning Sect, the whole sect would not be worth mentioning. And your so-called top disciples from the inner sect may not even be able to secure a spot. Now that you have recklessly come before me, I may as well let the world see clearly how much fame and glory the Immortal Questioning Sect deserves."
"Boasting shamelessly!"
"Bang!"
Lei Jian stepped forward, ready to draw his sword and have a life-and-death duel with Wan Wuying. However, at this moment, Lu Qinghe stood up.
"Brother Lei Jian, this matter started because of the Primordial Element Crystal I want to buy, so I should handle it. There is no need for Brother Lei Jian to take action."
"You?"
Lei Jian looked at Lu Qinghe in surprise. "Wan Wuying, a top figure who has defeated a True Refinement level ten strongman, definitely cannot be compared to Yellow Heavenly Peak."
"I have the courage to challenge Young Lord Qiankun. If I didn't have any skills, wouldn't it be seeking death?"
Upon hearing Lu Qinghe's words, Lei Jian's eyes brightened. Lu Qinghe's strength was a mystery, and the high-level members of the Blue Moon Lake had always been suspicious whether Lu Qinghe's achievements were due to his extremely high talent or relying on supplementation from Lu Qingyun.
"That's good, then it will be Brother Qinghe who takes action."
Lei Jian spoke, making way for Lu Qinghe but still following him out of the private room.
"The Primordial Element Crystal is already in my possession, and no one is qualified to take it away! Luoying, go and bring the Primordial Element Crystal over."
Wan Wuying glanced at Lei Jian and ordered one of his attendants by his side.
"Yes."
Following the command, the attendant Luoying soared into the air and flew toward the platform.
"The Primordial Element Crystal stays!"
Seeing that Wan Wuying actually wanted to snatch the Primordial Element Crystal first, Lei Jian roared and intercepted it.
"Lei Jian, your opponent is me."
Wan Wuying roared, drawing his sword with a frosty sword aura.
"But your opponent is me!"
As Wan Wuying made his move, Lu Qinghe also acted.
The Thirteen Swordsmanship of Flowing Light, breaking through the sky.
"You insignificant pawn, get lost!"
Wan Wuying's sword turned into a flawlessly perfect full moon, and in an instant, Lu Qinghe seemed to see a radiant and rising bright moon.
"Flowing Light!"
Welcoming this radiant and bright moon was Lu Qinghe's sword edge, as swift as flowing light.
Lu Qinghe had long since perfected the Thirteen Swordsmanship of Flowing Light, and with the added speed boost of the Flowing Light level and the fusion of swordsmanship, in his hands, this top-tier sword art erupted with a terrifying power that was almost on par with the Mysterious Spirit Swordsmanship.
The flowing light tore through the void, completely suppressing the radiant moon transformed by Wan Wuying's swordsmanship.
"Who are you!"
In this battle, Wan Wuying dare not underestimate Lu Qinghe anymore. With a long howl, the brightness of the moon in his hand burst out during the clash. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sword energy shook, and the true energy surged. The private box where Wan Wuying was located collapsed into dust under the sword energy's radiant shock, and concentric circles of sword energy scattered in all directions, visible to the naked eye. Even the marble floor underfoot, leaving dozens of sword marks in all directions, was not spared. "This...where did this young man come from, to actually be able to hold his own against Wan Wuying!?" "This kind of sword energy...at my Refining True 7th stage, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get close, and I would be killed by that scattered sword energy!" "Refining True 9th stage, can actually be this powerful!? I believe in Wan Wuying, who is a well-known strong figure, but that young man, can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with Wan Wuying! When did our Thousand Kingdom produce such a terrifying young swordsman?" Two pinnacle Refining True 9th stage experts battled with all their might, and the sword energy was dazzling. For a moment, the entire place exploded, and all the attention of everyone present was drawn to the clash between Lu Qinghe and Wan Wuying. "Bang!" In the midst of intersecting sword edges, a sword shadow rose into the air with the momentum to pierce the sky. "The Demon of the Moon descends!" Within the sword shadow, Wan Wuying's piercing cry permeated the empty space. "Fourteen!" However, in the face of this sword momentum that pierced the sky, more than a dozen sword shadows descended from the void, each containing terrifying power, and they merged together, colliding with the peak of the sword momentum piercing the sky. "Bang!" The thunderous explosion reverberated in the void. A more terrifying wave of energy, stronger than before, surged in all directions, and everything within a radius of ten meters, including all the seats, sofas, and coffee tables, was torn to pieces by the wave. As the sword shadows scattered, a figure flew out from the midst of the sword energy and landed on the ground, unable to help but continue retreating, leaving cracks all over the ground. "Wan Wuying!" "It's Young Master Wuying!" Seeing the figure that abruptly retreated, there was an incredible exclamation from the crowd. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Wan Wuying was at a disadvantage in the battle with the mysterious young expert.
