The astonishment of the crowd gradually subsided after a long while.
Ye Wushuang stood in front of the table, looking at Sheng Shaoqing across from him, and said indifferently, “I, a country bumpkin from the Blue Cloud Empire, may not be able to compare with Young Master Sheng, who has seen the vastness of the world.”
“But I do know that one must honor a bet and accept defeat.”
In that instant, the faces of the people from the Sacred Alchemy Pavilion changed.
They had thought victory was in the bag, but they never expected Sheng Shaoqing to lose so miserably.
Yet they also knew that it wasn’t because Sheng Shaoqing was incompetent, but because Ye Wushuang was just… too formidable!
However, losing meant paying with one’s life!
This time, it wasn’t just Shen Yunrui’s life on the line, but also Sheng Shaoqing’s.
“Ye Wushuang, I will remember you!” Sheng Shaoqing stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly, “One day, I will win back what I’ve lost.”
With these words, Sheng Shaoqing flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
But the many guards of the Blue Cloud Pavilion quickly surrounded him, not allowing Sheng Shaoqing to go anywhere.
“Sheng Shaoqing, if you honor a bet and accept defeat, then what? Are you unwilling to pay with your life after losing?” Ye Wushuang laughed again, “Everyone here saw it with their own eyes…”
“Humph!”
Sheng Shaoqing stood in the hall, looking at the gazes of the people around him, but he was not afraid at all.
His gaze slowly turned to Qing Mengli and he said with a smile, “Qing Mengli, do you dare to kill me?”
“My father, Sheng Xuan, is one of the seven great elixir masters of the Sacred Alchemy Sect. If you kill me, do you know what kind of wrath from the Sacred Alchemy Sect you will face?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi quickly looked at her mother.
Ye Wushuang was brought out by her to make a show of strength, and he had cleanly and neatly won the philosophical debate with Shen Yunrui and the alchemy competition with Sheng Shaoqing.
Now that Sheng Shaoqing was unwilling to die and brought up his father Sheng Xuan, if her mother was unwilling to offend the Sacred Alchemy Sect and let Sheng Shaoqing go, it would definitely cause Ye Wushuang’s dissatisfaction.
“Mother… this guy is so shameless…” Mu Qiqi humphed.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang just stood in place and did not make a move.
Whether the Blue Cloud Pavilion was worth him serving as a guest elixir master depended on the decision of the current Crown Princess of the Blue Cloud Empire, the head of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, Qing Mengli.
If the Blue Cloud Pavilion was unwilling to kill Sheng Shaoqing, Ye Wushuang would do it himself.
But his position as a guest elixir master of the Blue Cloud Pavilion would come to an end.
If the Blue Cloud Pavilion dared to take this responsibility, then he would be willing to stay in the Blue Cloud Pavilion.
How would Qing Mengli choose?
As the head of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, Qing Mengli had naturally seen countless people.
This Ye Wushuang was definitely not as amiable as he appeared on the surface.
He was waiting!
Waiting to see if she would make a move.
Qing Mengli’s eyebrows slightly lifted.
“Mother…”
Mu Qiqi was getting anxious.
Sheng Shaoqing continued, “You can kill Shen Yunrui. Let this matter end here, and the Sacred Alchemy Sect will not hold it against you.”
With that, Sheng Shaoqing took a step forward and headed towards the exit of the Blue Cloud Pavilion.
The guards were now hesitant to stop him.
“Kill him.”
A cold and clear voice suddenly rang out.
It was from Qing Mengli.
As soon as her words fell, the man in black who was holding Shen Yunrui slit the master’s throat in one swift motion.
As the blood spurted out, the man in black flashed and struck again, directly aiming at Sheng Shaoqing.
In that instant, Sheng Shaoqing’s face turned pale, and he roared, “You dare to kill me? The Sacred Alchemy Sect will never let you go!”
But Qing Mengli remained expressionless.
The man in black did not stop.
Clang…
In that moment, the blade in the man in black’s hand swung down, but it did not hit Sheng Shaoqing.
Instead, a figure appeared in front of Sheng Shaoqing like a wraith, grasped his hands, unleashed his inner spiritual energy, and formed a shield to block the man in black’s attack.
The two figures separated after a brief clash, and the man in black frowned as he looked at the middle-aged man who had appeared in front of him.
