Chapter 1696: I'll Conjure One Up for You

"Reporting to the Inspector, the Tianying Imperial City, in the secret realm, used extremely shameless means to kill our Zhining's Grand Elder and seize the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain! Grand Elder Gao Yuan was the one in our Zhining Imperial City with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Divine Tribulation realm. This time, Zhining has suffered a heavy loss. Therefore, your subordinate, in indignation, activated the Golden Sword Edict."

"Inspector, Qiao Anshan is slandering us! Gao Yuan, in the secret realm, repeatedly harmed our Tianying martial artists. He deserved to die!"

…

As soon as they started, Qiao Anshan and Zuo Shujie engaged in a war of words.

Each claimed to be in the right.

But such matters were clearly impossible to distinguish truth from falsehood.

When the middle-aged man in blue heard the words "Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain," his eyebrows lifted slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

"Enough!"

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, the middle-aged man in blue let out a deep shout.

Sure enough, the two dared not speak further.

The middle-aged man in blue said, "I never imagined that a remote place like the Ten Cities of Lingnan could produce a treasure like the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain. No wonder you went so far as to initiate the Golden Sword Alliance! Since the Golden Sword Edict has been issued, let's proceed according to the rules. The victor shall obtain the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain!"

The middle-aged man in blue clearly saw through things thoroughly; such arguments could go on for ten thousand years without resolution.

The crux of the issue was the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain. Qiao Anshan's purpose in initiating the Golden Sword Alliance was obviously also for the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain.

A war of words was useless; only a contest of strength would settle it.

At this moment, Qiao Anshan suddenly said, "Inspector, this time we initiated the Golden Sword Alliance not only for the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, but also for a person!"

The Inspector was slightly surprised and said, "Oh? Who?"

Qiao Anshan said, "His name is Ye Yuan. He is the chief culprit who killed Grand Elder Gao Yuan! If we win this Golden Sword Alliance, we also demand that Tianying hand over this brat!"

The Inspector nodded upon hearing this and said, "If you can win, naturally you will have the final say."

In the Inspector's eyes, only those at the Divine Tribulation realm caught his attention; the life and death of Divine Lord realm cultivators did not concern him.

Having lost the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, would Tianying still care about a person?

Zuo Shujie's expression changed, and he said, "Qiao Anshan, you are shameless!"

Qiao Anshan sneered, "Where is Ye Yuan? In the presence of the Inspector, you wouldn't try to hide him, would you? Or has that brat been scared into not daring to come out?"

"Yeah, you're so ugly you scared this elder so much I didn't dare come out."

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Yuan's figure stepped through the air.

"Pfft..."

Ye Yuan's words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Qiao Anshan was very short and extremely ugly in appearance, indeed somewhat frightening.

Qiao Anshan flew into a rage upon hearing this and said, "Brat, you're asking for death!"

Ye Yuan still wore a lazy expression and said calmly, "The Golden Sword Alliance hasn't even started yet, and you're already throwing your weight around? Do you have any respect for the Inspector?"

Qiao Anshan's expression changed, and he indeed dared not make a move.

Ye Yuan bowed to the Inspector and said, "Ye Yuan of Tianying pays respects to the Inspector."

A flicker of surprise passed through the Inspector's eyes. He was astonished to find that, with his strength, he could not see through this young man!

This brat is not simple!

Almost immediately, the Inspector formed a conclusion about Ye Yuan.

"So you are Ye Yuan? Qiao Anshan says it was you who killed Zhining's Grand Elder Gao Yuan?" the Inspector asked with some doubt.

Logically, at Ye Yuan's level, it should have been impossible for him to kill Gao Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan nodded and admitted frankly, "That scoundrel Gao Yuan tried to kill me several times, but he lacked the strength and was instead suppressed and killed by me using the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain. In the secret realm, seizing treasures and killing people is common. What's the big deal? Qiao Anshan, if you want the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, just say it openly. Wanting to be a whore and set up a chastity memorial—your heart is as ugly as your face!"

Qiao Anshan's face alternated between pale and red. He found that in a war of words, he was truly no match for Ye Yuan.

If this continued, Ye Yuan would surely infuriate him to death.

"Sharp-tongued little beast! After the Golden Sword Alliance, I'll see if that mouth of yours can still be so glib!" Qiao Anshan glared at Ye Yuan and said.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Isn't it just two more Divine Tribulation realm cultivators? Look at you, all puffed up!"

Speaking of Divine Tribulation realm experts, Qiao Anshan seemed to finally find a reason to be smug. He laughed loudly, "Why shouldn't I be smug? The strong are revered! An ant like you deserves only to be trampled under my feet! If you have the ability, conjure up two Divine Tribulation realm cultivators for me! Hahaha..."

Ye Yuan looked at Qiao Anshan as if he were an idiot. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed toward the direction of the Martial Tower, saying calmly, "Ugly freak, watch closely. I'll conjure them up for you right now!"

Qiao Anshan's expression changed. He looked in the direction Ye Yuan pointed, but saw no movement at all. His face darkened, and he said, "Little beast, are you mocking me?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Mocking you? Look again."

Qiao Anshan turned his head again but still saw no sign of activity.

He was almost about to lose his temper.

Qiao Anshan could wait no longer. He swore in his heart that he would kill Ye Yuan.

"Little beast, very good! You're very good! After the Golden Sword Alliance, you'll know what it means to wish you were dead!" Qiao Anshan said through gritted teeth, staring at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's face was full of smiles as he looked at Qiao Anshan and said, "Look again. They really have appeared!"

"Little beast, are you done or not! Inspector, your subordinate requests that the Golden Sword Alliance begin immediately!" Qiao Anshan, on the verge of a breakdown, said to the Inspector.

But he spoke for a long time, and the Inspector did not respond.

Looking up, Qiao Anshan saw the Inspector's face full of solemnity, and the direction he was looking was precisely the direction of the Martial Tower, the same direction Ye Yuan had pointed.

Qiao Anshan's heart jolted. He instinctively turned his head and instantly his expression changed dramatically.

He saw that the originally calm Martial Tower was now surging with wind and clouds.

Violent spiritual energy crazily surged toward that direction.

Such a commotion was clearly someone breaking through to the Divine Tribulation realm!

Truly... truly conjured?

A figure flew out from the Martial Tower, stood high in the sky, and frantically absorbed spiritual energy.

The momentum was extremely terrifying.

"Th... that's Leng Yu! H... how is it possible? H... he also broke through?" Wen Yilin exclaimed in disbelief.

Wen Yilin was no stranger to Leng Yu. They were geniuses of the same era and had secretly competed for a long time.

But in the end, Wen Yilin stepped into the Divine Tribulation realm, while Leng Yu ended up missing.

Although Leng Yu had now returned, to Wen Yilin, he was no longer a threat.

Over a hundred thousand years of wasted time—how could that be easily remedied?

Wen Yilin had come this time intending to taunt Leng Yu when he saw him.

But who knew that he would be met with such a result!
