Shi Xueyun stood with pride on her face, allowing everyone to know how high Yi Tianyun's position was in her heart, and that Shi Xueyun was not afraid to be enemies with Spirit Sect!
In fact, Shi Xueyun was aware that Spirit Sect absolutely didn't dare to disturb the peace. Even if Zhao Hualong was slapped, he would not let that matter escalate into war. Although the comprehensive strength of Jade Palace is weaker than Spirit Sect, with connections from others, Jade Palace can be much stronger than Spirit Sect.
There are many disciples in Jade Palace who are married to outsiders. While Jade Palace's status is not particularly high outside, they have no problem bringing in support from the outside.
Zhao Hualong knew that his words were a bit mean, but he was slapped. How could he bow down like this? He immediately sneered, "Lord Palace Shi gave me a slap; this is undoubtedly a physical confrontation. This is not a simple matter. If he really didn't make a mistake, why didn't you let him go? Not because I want to embarrass him, but because he injured our disciples. Not only that, he even accused us of snatching the Dragon Blood Divine Pill. He thinks that we can't afford the Dragon Blood Divine Pill ourselves!"
He was furious that Shi Xueyun slapped him in front of so many people. This humiliation was unimaginable.
"Is it? I repeat it again, I believe that Tianyun will not beat people without reason. They wanted to snatch the Dragon Blood Divine Pill. Sure, you can afford this pill, but you won't use it for these trash! If you really insist on blaming this on Tianyun, then don't expect me to back down without a fight!" The strong aura around Shi Xueyun had not dissipated, rising with every tick of time, and anger was bubbling in her eyes.
She knew Yi Tianyun would definitely lose. That was not the only reason—the main reason was that his body was too weak, which made the consequences of losing even worse. If he were knocked out, even if he didn't die, he would be disabled for life.
In any case, Shi Xueyun would not give in. This was her bottom line!
Although her aura was strong enough, Yi Tianyun, standing on one side, was suffering from the judgmental eyes watching around them. A man standing behind a woman is considered a weakling, equivalent to a chicken. In this world of martial arts, it is a very shameful action.
Yi Tianyun was not weak, nor was he a chicken. He always wanted to stand up and prove himself, to prove that he was not trash, and to prove that his aunt was not supporting the wrong person!
"I will fight. I will represent Jade Palace," Yi Tianyun stood up and looked indifferent.
He did not retreat. He wasn't a coward. He stood boldly at this moment. Even if he died in the duel, he would stand up for himself. With firm eyes, not afraid of death, fearless, standing above his peers.
Once he stopped speaking, the sound of the system echoed in his mind.
『Quest: Defeat the disciples of the Spirit Sect challenge and lead Jade Palace to victory!』
『Reward: 10,000 EXP, 100 gold, Divine Armor (Common)!』
"Quest? This reward is quite plenty!" Yi Tianyun was very happy with this information. He did not expect to have such a quest. As long as he could complete it, the reward he received would be worth the trouble, especially the EXP.
Just the treasures that are obtained look like the level is too low?
Whether it is a weapon or a treasure, it is divided into several levels: Common, Spirit, Holy, Relic, and Artifact!
Yi Tianyun's words attracted all the attention around him. Among them, Zhao Hualong squatted and sneered at the corner of his mouth. This was a sly smile, and finally, he got what he wanted. If Shi Xueyun didn't agree, he really couldn't help it, but Yi Tianyun himself agreed, and that really fit his convenience.
Well, for Spirit Sect itself, Fang Chen was just a low-level disciple; they didn't really care about Fang Chen's life. However, Fang Yun was really angry. If his little brother, who had been getting along with him day and night, was dead, how could he not be angry?
As everyone knew, his little brother had become a victim and was immediately used by Zhao Hualong.
The female disciples of Jade Palace, watching Yi Tianyun, had changed their views a bit. At least he did not choose to remain silent and let his aunt keep protecting him, but chose to stand up. This is how a man should be!
Shi Xueyun hurriedly said to him, "Don't talk nonsense, this is not a joke!" Her expression was very serious, or at least that's how Yi Tianyun saw it.
"If I don't participate in this competition, then I can't call myself a man. I'm not worthy of Aunt's protection," Yi Tianyun smiled at her, and his eyes were extremely firm.
Shi Xueyun was surprised by Yi Tianyun's gaze. She had never seen such fire in Yi Tianyun's eyes. He was so determined to win! Immediately, she took a deep breath and said to Zhao Hualong, "Okay, I agree!"
"That's good. After half a month, I'll see you on the arena!" Zhao Hualong sneered. "This is a life-and-death duel. Death is justified!"
At this time, Yi Tianyun stood up and said coldly, "No problem. No matter what happens to me in this duel, stop causing problems for our palace!"
"This is interesting. This will be your grave, of course!" Zhao Hualong sneered, and they yelled at Fang Yun, "Let's go!"
Fang Yun was taken aback. When Fang Yun left, he looked at Yi Tianyun with a troubled look. Although he knew he wanted to fight Yi Tianyun until death, it was impossible to kill Yi Tianyun with Shi Xueyun standing next to him.
When they left, the entire Jade Palace erupted in chatter. No one was optimistic about Yi Tianyun. In this competition, his cultivation was too weak. It was like already losing before even departing for the war, especially since Yi Tianyun lacked blood qi. If the battle was dragged on a little, he would definitely lose.
In the face of confusion and dissatisfaction from the entire Jade Palace, Yi Tianyun's expression was still so indifferent. He had already withstood this kind of treatment before, and today was no different than any other day.
"Disperse," Shi Xueyun said with a wave.
"Yes, Palace Lord."
After many female disciples looked at Yi Tianyun with disappointment, they left. This time, the winners and losers would decide the direction of things in Jade Palace. They naturally did not want to see what the changes would be.
When everyone left, Shi Xueyun said softly, "Don't force yourself, even if you lose, just keep your life. As long as you live, everything will be okay."
"Aunt, do you believe in me?" Yi Tianyun asked in a firm tone.
"I believe in you!" Shi Xueyun nodded without hesitation but immediately sighed, "But one must know what one can do. If your body…" She said that behind her, her eyes became watery, which was caused by her sadness. If there were no pills to supply Yi Tianyun's blood qi, it was estimated that Yi Tianyun would have already died.
"I will win!" Yi Tianyun grabbed Shi Xueyun's small hand and smiled brightly. "Even if I stand on death's door, I don't want to kneel. Let me be willful. I don't want my aunt to be criticized again, and I don't want my aunt to be wronged again…"
Yi Tianyun returned to his room. After calming down himself and calming his aunt completely, he returned his gaze to the Crazy Leveling System. Because of the chaos earlier, many things had not been clarified.
