"Too strong, is this the strength of the Eldest Prince?"
"No wonder he’s a cultivator of the Ninth Heaven, who in the entire Imperial Capital under three hundred years old can rival him!"
"The Eldest Prince’s status is noble, his cultivation stands above the crowd, and Gu Nianxue, born with the Cold Frost Battle Body, is also an unparalleled prodigy. Truly, they are a match made in heaven!"
...
The murmurs were incessant. As Ji Wudao successively defeated several strong warriors, he firmly established his position as the reigning champion.
After defeating the ninth challenger, no one dared to step onto the ring anymore.
Ji Wudao stood at the center of the platform, looking down on the four directions, fully displaying the power and majesty of the royal family.
Martial artists who t Ji Wudao’s gaze retreated one after another, not daring to step forward to contend.
Ti passed bit by bit, a stick of incense was already half burnt, and once it was completely extinguished, the outco would be irreversible.
Gu Qiu averted his gaze, unable to bear watching, hating himself for not being able to protect his daughter.
Gu Nianxue lowered her head, silently clenching her fists, full of unwillingness.
Only Ma Liuniang couldn’t hide her joy, her eyes fixed on the burning incense, wishing it would burn faster.
Ji Wudao crossed his arms, having already showcased his strength, now he just needed to wait.
"Gu Nianxue will definitely belong to this Prince!" Ji Wudao thought joyfully, his heart starting to race uncontrollably.
Everyone watched intently, waiting for the last mont when the incense stick would burn out.
"Ancestor Sect... Chu Nan, challenges the Eldest Prince!"
Just when everyone assud Ji Wudao would achieve final victory, they saw another person step onto the platform.
This person was dressed in black, with a determined yet youthful face, indicating he wasn’t very old.
But the aura of cultivation emanating from him caused many to feel suffocated, a profound and unfathomable sense of fear.
"Who, Ancestor Sect’s Chu Nan?"
"It’s said he’s the guy who supposedly refined thirty-six True Martial Pavilions in a day and was appointed as Elder Zhenwu by the Supre Sect Leader!"
"It’s also said he single-handedly defeated all the true successors of the Ancestor Sect, his strength is unfathomable."
"However, his origins are unclear, and it’s said he’s not from the Imperial Capital."
...
"Chu Nan, how is this possible!"
Hearing the na Chu Nan, both Gu Qiu and Ma Liuniang widened their eyes, unable to imagine how Chu Nan would appear in such an occasion!
Gu Nianxue stood up directly, holding her chest with one hand, a mist forming in her eyes, her gaze towards Chu Nan full of concern.
In her view, Chu Nan was simply not Ji Wudao’s match, and even if he could defeat Ji Wudao, how could he contend with the royal family behind him?
Compared to Gu Nianxue, Ma Liuniang was even more shocked, with a hint of terror in her eyes.
Seeing Chu Nan, she recalled how she once humiliated the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and Chu Nan, her heart racing uncontrollably.
For Chu Nan’s status unknowingly already surpassed hers!
In less than a year, Ma Liuniang beside Chu Nan was nothing more than a humble ant.
An endless worry arose in her heart, but upon seeing Ji Wudao, she thought secretly: "I really don’t know what kind of luck Chu Nan had to beco so powerful, becoming an Elder Zhenwu of the Ancestor Sect."
"If I had known, I should have killed him with one slap back at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"
"But it’s fine, with the Eldest Prince here, no matter how strong Chu Nan is, he can’t cause any waves. When the ti cos, find a chance to instruct the Prince to kill him, eliminating future troubles!"
Chu Nan’s strength and status terrified Ma Liuniang, hoping to use this tournant battle to cause his death here.
Amidst the discussions around, Chu Nan stepped onto the platform, confronting Ji Wudao from a distance.
"Chu Nan..." Ji Wudao frowned. As the Eldest Prince, he naturally knew so things about Chu Nan, but not much.
His first knowledge of the na Chu Nan was due to a few of his brothers dying at his hands in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm.
But Ji Wudao didn’t care, those brothers had too low cultivation and were rely ants, dying was of no consequence.
What truly made him rember the na Chu Nan was his appointnt as Elder Zhenwu of the Ancestor Sect, heavily valued by the Supre Sect Leader.
The Supre Sect Leader, a peak expert of the Ninth Heaven, a terrifying figure even Emperor Qin had to pay attention to.
Anyone valued by him naturally aroused Ji Wudao’s curiosity.
"So you are the Elder Zhenwu of the Ancestor Sect?" Ji Wudao raised his chin arrogantly, speaking with authority.
An invisible aura of superiority emanated from him, with Dragon Qi spreading towards Chu Nan, attempting to suppress him.
But when this power made contact with Chu Nan, it instantly shattered, leaving nothing. Chu Nan even smiled easily and said, "As of now, I’m not considered an Elder Zhenwu, but soone like you, just a fool wanting Gu Nianxue."
As he spoke, Chu Nan’s gaze fell on Gu Nianxue not far away.
Gu Nianxue’s heart tightened, her steps subtly shifting, with an urge to rush to Chu Nan’s side.
With Ji Wudao’s keen perception, he imdiately noticed this detail and frowned, mories flooding his mind.
Chu Nan is a martial artist from Qingxuan Province, and Gu Nianxue once practiced for several years at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, a subordinate of Qingxuan Province...
Could they have known each other long ago, perhaps even having an extraordinary relationship!
Having reached this conclusion, Ji Wudao’s eyes beca sharp. He couldn’t allow his woman to have any entanglent with another man.
"Chu Nan, you’re not a match for the Eldest Prince, do not offend the royal authority, just step down and admit defeat!"
At this mont, Gu Nianxue’s voice suddenly rang out, her heart still worried for Chu Nan, unwilling for him to get hurt, risking to persuade.
Gu Qiu’s expression changed dramatically, hastily trying to intervene, but it was already too late.
Although she seed to be portraying Chu Nan as overestimating himself, to discerning individuals, this clear as day intention showed she was saving Chu Nan.
This would undoubtedly leave a thorn in the heart of the Eldest Prince, making entry into the royal family due to Gu Nianxue extrely troubleso.
At this mont, Ma Liuniang also spoke: "Daughter, once on the platform, there’s no such thing as admitting defeat. Without a decision of victory or death, no one can leave the platform!"
Ji Wudao’s killing intent surged; he was now certain Gu Nianxue had an extraordinary relationship with Chu Nan.
And Ma Liuniang’s words reminded him to kill Chu Nan on the platform!
Throughout, Chu Nan’s expression remained relaxed; once he made this decision, he was prepared for all consequences. He also had the confidence to bear it all.
"Gu Nianxue, you have changed."
"Once you were resilient and brave; now you waver and are timid."
"What is the Eldest Prince, what is royal authority? If I, Chu Nan, had to hand over what I cherished, I would have never co this far."
"Watch carefully, co what may, I, Chu Nan, shall stand my ground."
With that, Chu Nan directed a decisive punch towards Ji Wudao, saying with determination, "Your Highness, Chu Nan of Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, seeks your guidance!"
