Chapter 469: Change of Plans
Li Yue seemed a bit unsure and asked stuttering, "Is she, is she really Xia Mingzhu?"
Jiang Yun shrugged and said, "She says she is, but I haven’t met her!"
"Master Jiang, you!"
Li Yue chuckled and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you are even from our world."
Being doubted about his origins twice in one day, Jiang Yun wryly remarked, "Is she really that famous?"
Li Yue exclaimed, "More than famous, Xia Mingzhu is the number one beauty in our land, The Barbaric Southern Land. Can’t believe you don’t know how many men desire her, you don’t know!"
"The number one beauty!" Jiang Yun nodded, "She does have good looks!"
Li Yue was completely speechless at Jiang Yun’s plain reaction and decided to stop talking, instead looking towards the still ongoing battlefield nearby.
Xiao Yun and his son, along with Little Fu, are battling against Qian Jin!
After Master Feng trapped Qian Jin with a formation, Little Fu could have killed him several times. However, Jiang Yun secretly instructed them to let Xiao Yun and his son take care of Qian Jin themselves, so they held off until now.
Suddenly, Xiao Wangjie fiercely struck Qian Jin in the chest, causing him to stagger and cough up blood. He fell to the ground, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at the father-son duo in front of him.
Qian Jin tried to beg for mercy, but Xiao Yun didn’t give him a chance. He approached and delivered a final blow, ultimately killing him.
After silently observing Qian Jin’s body for a while, Xiao Yun turned around and bowed deeply to Little Fu. He knew that Little Fu deliberately let him seek revenge personally.
Then, he also bowed deeply to Jiang Yun.
At this moment, he finally settled his vendetta with his own hands.
While nodding, Jiang Yun calmly absorbed all the life fire from these dead bodies into the Flameless Puppet Lantern.
In the Shadow Spirit World, Jiang Yun had depleted all the life fire in the lantern from facing Fang Yuxuan’s sword strike and couldn’t find an opportunity to replenish it.
As one of his secret weapons, Jiang Yun urgently needed to increase the life fire in the lamp.
Next, Jiang Yun raised his hand and threw a small creature like an old mouse to Little Fu, saying, "It’s up to you now, make sure it behaves!"
Of course, it was the Illusion Rat, and as soon as Little Fu heard this, his eyes sparkled fiercely, glaring at the Illusion Rat.
Poor Illusion Rat was a super beast, but it had no strength. Faced with Little Fu’s unfriendly gaze, it could only curl up its body.
"Alright, let’s continue our journey!"
As for the bodies on the ground, Jiang Yun only bothered to take their storage artifacts, ignoring to get rid of the bodies completely.
Because in his mind, the Qian family had already disappeared.
With everyone and the creatures back in Overcast, under Jiang Yun’s control, Overcast continued on towards the location where the beast fight was taking place.
During the remaining journey, the group didn’t encounter any more ambushes.
Just three days after leaving the battlefield, Jiang Yun met four worried men wearing similar clothes who stopped Overcast and asked if he had seen a woman.
Jiang Yun knew they were looking for Xia Mingzhu, but since she had told him not to say anything before leaving, he shook his head.
The men didn’t bother him and hurriedly left.
Jiang Yun saw this as a small incident and didn’t think much of it.
After nearly a month, Li Yue excitedly stood up and said, "Master Jiang, Xia City is ahead!"
Xia City was built by the Xia family and is where the Beast Arena is held.
Even Jiang Yun, who had seen a lot, was deeply impressed when he finally saw Xia City from afar.
It was more like a country than just a city!
Although it was far away, the city looked like a huge monster crouching on the ground from a distance.
The size of this city is so big that it’s beyond imagination.
According to Li Yue, it can hold at least tens of millions of creatures inside, even giant beasts hundreds of feet tall wouldn’t feel cramped in the Holy City.
However, Xia City was not built all at once, but went through countless renovations and additions before reaching its grand scale today.
Obviously, one of the purposes of constructing such a large city is for the Beast Arena.
"We’re here, finally here!"
Everyone else also stood up, looking at the distant Xia City, excitement and awe visible on each face.
Though they had heard about this place for a long time, they never expected to actually visit it in their lifetime.
Even if they don’t participate in the Beast Arena, being able to see Xia City with their own eyes is worth it.
"I really hope other members of our tribe can come see this city too!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yun mumbling, Jiang Yun’s face showed a pensive look, then he smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, it’s not impossible!"
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Xia City drew closer and closer. At that moment, Jiang Yun looked up at the sky and saw various flying vehicles.
Some were large ships, others were square carpets, and there were also many monstrous creatures, which dazzled the onlookers.
Evidently, these people were from different tribes of The Barbaric Southern Land, just like Jiang Yun and the others, here to participate in the Beast Arena.
However, when they were still thousands of miles away from Xia City, a heavy pressure appeared in the sky ahead, forcing Overcast to come to a halt.
Li Yue explained, "Flying is not allowed within a radius of thousands of miles from Xia City!"
This also showed the dominance of the Xia family, deserving of the title of Daoist clan.
Jiang Yun nodded, saying, "Then let’s go down!"
Not only Jiang Yun, but all the flying vehicles in the sky descended to the ground. The cultivators inside also walked out and headed towards Xia City along the very wide road.
Jiang Yun discovered that most of the tribes did not have any beasts displayed outside, just like he kept his beasts in the Overcast.
Obviously, they also have similar tools to store their beasts.
Jiang Yun kept looking around, amazed by the variously dressed cultivators.
He never expected there would be so many cultivators in this Ancient Grand Desolate World, and they were all humans.
However, he also wanted to see if he could find familiar faces in the crowd.
He believed that besides himself, his fellow disciples, and even Gui Li and others, might have come to this world.
Not only Jiang Yun, but even the natives like Xiao Yun in this world were full of amazement, wishing they had more eyes.
Only Li Yue remained calm because he had visited Xia City before with Mu village during the previous Beast Arena, so it was like revisiting an old place.
"Have you heard? They say that the way the Beast Arena is being tested this time is different from before."
At that moment, Jiang Yun noticed the low conversation of two big men nearby and listened closely.
"I haven’t heard about it. What’s the difference? Isn’t each Beast Arena about challengers taking turns to compete on the stage?"
"Yes, the format remains the same, but this time the top ten chosen will not fight each other. Instead, they will determine the winner in a different way."
"What way?"
"It is said to be…"
At this point, the man switched to using telepathy, and Jiang Yun amplified his divine sense to the maximum, barely catching two words – Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!
