Push the Envelope

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

As the local tyrant of the Southern Territory of the Cang Qiong Empire, the Tianling Sect had tremendous strength and foundation.

Surrounded by mountains shrouded in mist, disciples riding swords would occasionally fly by in the fog, giving off an aura of immortals.

Today, it was especially lively here.

The news of the battle between Xiao Zhan and Tianling Saintess Liu Ruyan had already spread throughout the Southern Territory. So the moment they heard the news, many people rushed to Tianling Sect without stopping.

Of course, apart from watching Xiao Zhan make a fool of himself, they also wanted to get a glimpse of the elegance of Tianling Saintess Liu Ruyan.

Within the Tianling Sect, Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged on a futon, with tranquil aura. She didn't seem to care much about today's duel.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked over.

"Ruyan, what do you think, are you confident about today's battle?"

The man asked. He was Liu Ruyan's master, and also the Sect Master of Tianling Sect, Yin Tianxiong.

"Master, this is a battle with a foregone conclusion, what's there to be confident about." Liu Ruyan said rather mockingly.

"You're right, my question was rather meaningless."

Yin Tianxiong laughed awkwardly, then said softly, "Ruyan, you don't blame me for making your Liu Family and the Xiao Family become like fire and water, do you?"

"Master jests. Even without your involvement, that Xiao Zhan and I are not of the same path. "

"Besides, the Xiao Family was kind to the Liu Family in the previous generation. That is the business of our elders, it has nothing to do with me." Liu Ruyan said expressionlessly.

"As long as you don't blame your master, that's good." Yin Tianxiong sighed and said, "After all, the marriage arrangement on you makes the Third Prince very unhappy. Only by showing enough attitude will the Third Prince be satisfied."

"So in order to put on a show today, I also secretly fanned the flames, and openly welcomed everyone to watch the fight."

"You have my gratitude, Master." Liu Ruyan said gratefully.

"It's nothing. No matter how powerful our sects are, we still have to bow our heads to the Empire above. If you can form ties with the Third Prince, your future accomplishments will far surpass your achievements in Tianling Sect. In the future, Tianling Sect's foundation will also become more solid because of you!" Yin Tianxiong said emotionally.

"Rest assured Master, I, Liu Ruyan will not forget Tianling Sect's nurturing!" Liu Ruyan said solemnly.

"That's good to hear."

Yin Tianxiong nodded in satisfaction. As if remembering something, he solemnly reminded, "Also, don't go easy on that Xiao Zhan later. Even if you beat him to death, it's no big deal. Although the Third Prince is not here in person, there will definitely be people watching on his behalf among the spectators. If you go easy on your opponent and displease the Third Prince, things will become difficult."

"Don't worry Master, I know what to do."

Liu Ruyan nodded lightly.

"Let's go, it's about time, we should start."

Yin Tianxiong said.

Then the two of them walked outside.

At the foot of Tianling Sect's mountain, Su Yunyun and the other senior martial brothers had arrived.

"Senior martial sister, martial brothers, there is no need for me to continue this duel."

Seeing Tianling Sect's grandeur and the crowds rushing up the mountain to watch the show, Xiao Zhan said calmly.

Ever since he became an immortal on earth, his perspective and outlook on life had changed tremendously.

The so-called inner demons no longer existed for him.

In his opinion, there was no need to prove anything in front of Liu Ruyan.

"No way."

But before his voice fell, Hong Fengkuang and Xiao Yunyi immediately refuted in unison.

The two looked at each other, and Hong Fengkuang quickly said, "If you don't fight, wouldn't your martial brother have come in vain? I was looking forward to destroying Tianling Sect."

"Yeah, I bet heavily on you. With this one bet, your dad will get filthy rich. If you don't fight, wouldn't my bet go to waste?" Xiao Yunyi stared and followed up.

The reasons of these two made Xiao Zhan quite speechless. He turned his gaze to Su Yunyun.

"Senior martial sister, what do you think?" he asked.

"Junior martial brother, although I understand your thoughts, wouldn't your actions be seen as cowardly?" Su Yunyun admonished seriously: "That is not the style of our Heaven and Earth Sect."

"I see, senior martial sister."

Xiao Zhan suddenly realized, and looked towards Tianling Sect with determination.

At this moment, a huge ring had already been set up on Tianling Sect's square.

And around the ring, hundreds of thousands of spectators had gathered.

Tianling Saintess Liu Ruyan had arrived early and was waiting on the ring.

Dressed in white today, her beauty was like a snow lotus in full bloom, making her the center of attention of the entire venue.

"The Saintess is indeed a saintess!"

"Yes, at such a young age, she is already so accomplished. And with her looks, she really makes people jealous!"

"That wastrel from the Xiao Family actually still dares to challenge Miss Liu. He really doesn't know the height of the heavens!"

Her presence aroused fanatical cheers from countless people in the venue.

Finally, it was time.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Zhan slowly walked towards the ring.
