Su Xuanye, Yuwen Yi, Shi Wuheng, and Shi Wuque immediately became wary.
**Who would dare to be so bold?**
The Spirit Sword Mountain had mobilized an overwhelming force to escort Ye Wushuang into Qingzhou. Was someone actually attempting to ambush them along the way?
At that very moment, through the swirling mist and clouds, a flying spirit beast appeared, flapping its wings.
**”The Li Clan?”**
Su Xuanye furrowed his brows. On the back of the spirit beast, several figures stood. One of them was none other than Li Hong, the fifth patriarch of the Li Clan, a genuine figure at the Reversion Realm.
**”Li Hong, what do you mean by this?”** Su Xuanye said coldly.
Li Wuyeh looked at Su Xuanye and his group and replied coldly, **”What? Is the entire land of Qingzhou now under the jurisdiction of your Spirit Sword Mountain? Am I not allowed to pass through here with my people?”**
Su Xuanye’s expression remained indifferent as he sensed the terrifying sword energy gathering within him. The Li Clan, Tianji Mansion, Shengdan Sect, Tianyan Empire, Taiqing Palace, and Jujian Sect all harbored murderous intentions toward Ye Wushuang. It was just that the Tianji Mansion and Shengdan Sect had the deepest grudges.
Who knew what Li Hong’s intentions were by appearing here with his group!
**”Senior Su, you’ve misunderstood!”**
At that moment, a handsome young man with an air of elegance stepped forward from the back of the spirit beast and greeted with a smile, **”I am Li Baifan, a junior from the Li Clan. The fifth patriarch just happened to pick me up and we were passing through here. That’s all.”**
Su Xuanye carefully surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that, as Li Baifan had said, there were no other flying spirit beasts present. After giving Li Hong and Li Baifan a piercing look, Su Xuanye was about to order his group to leave.
**”Please wait a moment, everyone!”**
Li Baifan took a step forward, approaching the Blue-Winged Thunder Falcon. The Blue-Winged Thunder Falcon’s eyes carried a hint of intimidation. Li Baifan stopped ten zhang away from the Blue-Winged Thunder Falcon and said calmly, **”Senior Su, this time you are here to escort Young Master Ye Wushuang to the Spirit Sword Mountain, correct?”**
**”May I have a moment with Young Master Ye?”**
Su Xuanye replied directly, **”No way!”**
Li Baifan chuckled and said, **”I am not very talented. In my Li Clan, I am just an ordinary person. I have heard that Young Master Ye has extraordinary talent and is now at the late stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm. Today, by chance, I would like to meet Young Master Ye and… perhaps have a friendly match with him!”**
Before Su Xuanye could refuse, a voice rang out, **”Li Baifan, you are twenty-two years old this year, while Brother Ye is only seventeen. Aren’t you ashamed? How dare you challenge Brother Ye?”**
The Hundred Nations Martial Contest gathers the most outstanding geniuses and prodigies under the age of twenty-six from the hundred nations and the seven great sects, who have reached the Yuanfu Realm. In fact, among the top participants from the seven great powers, the most outstanding ones are usually between seventeen and twenty years old. As for those geniuses between twenty and twenty-five years old, they are mostly at the middle or late stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and they have already participated in the previous Hundred Nations Martial Contest. This is actually a kind of balance. If the most powerful geniuses from the seven great powers, who are between twenty and twenty-five years old, all participated in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest, the hundred nations would have no chance of winning the top seven spots.
Li Baifan had participated in the previous Hundred Nations Martial Contest. Now, at the age of twenty-two, he has reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Heavenly Gang Realm, just one step away from the Myriad Methods Realm. At such a young age, he has achieved such a cultivation level, which is enough to make him stand out among the peak figures of the great empires.
In fact, these geniuses in their twenties truly represent the super status of the seven great powers. Li Baifan’s appearance here and his challenge to Ye Wushuang are clearly a message from the Li Clan to Ye Wushuang:
**”Don’t think you are some kind of peerless prodigy. There are plenty of peerless prodigies within the great powers!”**
Li Baifan couldn’t help but smile and said, **”Prodigies and geniuses all have their unique strengths. If everything is judged by age, then how can a genius be called a genius?”**
Li Wenbo snorted and said, **”If you have the ability, go challenge my sister!”**
Li Wenbo’s sister, Li Wenqing, is a true peerless prodigy of the Spirit Sword Mountain!
Li Baifan shook his head and continued, **”I was just inspired by the moment. If Young Master Ye is afraid, then…”**
**”You’re even using reverse psychology. What’s the harm in me sparring with you?”**
A voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
