The moment Jiu You and the others entered West City, they immediately witnessed the chaos within the city.
A battle was taking place between a green robed man wielding a golden spear and an old man.
Jiu You and the others did not rush to leave and instead chose to watch from afar for a while.
The young man with the golden spear possessed the cultivation of Peak Eighth Grade Sovereign, while the old man was even stronger, possessing the strength of Half Step Ninth Grade Sovereign. Naturally, the battle between the two was earthshaking.
However, among the group present, aside from Tan Qiu and Stone King, everyone possessed combat power not inferior to the two fighters, so their expressions remained calm. Someone like Zong Qingfeng, who pursued only strength, could not even be bothered to watch.
Although those two had slightly higher cultivation than him, in terms of actual combat power, he could fight both of them alone. A battle of this level held no value to him whatsoever.
Although the battle itself had no value, they were able to hear quite a bit of useful information from the surrounding spectators.
"That person should be Golden Sacred Spear Liu Ming, right? I heard he comes from the Western Region. At such a young age he has already reached Peak Eighth Grade Sovereign. During this period he has continuously challenged others, and many people have already lost to him."
"Heh, it seems the Ancient Heavenly Palace really has attracted quite a few monstrous geniuses. The coming days should be entertaining..."
"Monstrous genius? If we are talking about monstrous geniuses, then the Azure Lotus Swordman from a few days ago was even more monstrous! I heard he severed the arms of four Eighth Grade Sovereigns with a single sword strike. That was truly incredible."
"That's right, I saw that battle too. It happened in the blink of an eye. The arms of those four Eighth Grade Sovereigns were severed before they could even react. That Azure Lotus Swordman's sword was unbelievably fast!"
"..."
After listening for a while, Jiu You glanced at the battle in the sky that was already nearing its conclusion and immediately lost interest in continuing to watch.
"Let's go."
After speaking, Jiu You directly headed toward the city below.
"Could it be that the geniuses of the Skylaw Continent are only at this level? If so, then I will truly be disappointed." Zong Qingfeng glanced at the enormous golden spear light stretching across heaven and earth in the sky and merely curled his lips.
"All flash and no substance!"
His words caused Dragon Arm Sovereign beside him to frown slightly, feeling that this cold faced youth was somewhat overly arrogant.
You are merely an Eighth Grade Sovereign. Perhaps you possess some abilities, but that does not mean you can disregard everyone else.
Of course, Dragon Arm Sovereign did not know the identities of Zong Qingfeng and the other three beast slaves. He merely felt that all three emitted a dangerous aura, proving their strength.
Moreover, judging from their respectful attitude toward Liu Bai, the three were all subordinates of the latter. Since they could be considered allies, Dragon Arm Sovereign did not say anything to avoid creating unpleasantness.
"Big Sister Jiu You, what kind of people do you think will appear this time? Are any of them stronger than you?" Mo Ling hugged Jiu You's arm and asked curiously with an innocent expression.
Jiu You smiled faintly. "Naturally there are people stronger than me, but not many. So you do not need to worry, Mo Ling."
These words caused Zong Qingfeng's eyes to light up. Someone stronger than Jiu You was naturally someone who interested him. Whether he could win or not was another matter. At the very least, he had to fight them first.
Very soon, the group found another tavern within the city. Places like this were where information spread the fastest and easiest, regardless of the world or setting. Thus, many people liked coming to such places to sit around, Liu Bai being one of them.
This habit had naturally influenced Jiu You as well, so after arriving in West City, their first choice was also a tavern.
However, passively gathering information here was rather inefficient, and it was impossible for all of them to remain inside. Thus, Old Bai soon volunteered himself and left together with Tan Qiu and Stone King.
Dragon Arm Sovereign remained beside Jiu You and the others in case any unexpected situations arose.
This was the advantage brought by strength and status. Someone would always think about and handle every matter for you, while you only needed to sit here and wait.
From the conversations around them, Jiu You also learned that most of the forces currently gathered here had come from the Western Region. Thanks to their geographical advantage, they were naturally the first batch to arrive.
As for the other regions, the journey was simply too far, so they could only arrive gradually.
Just as Jiu You was thinking this, suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed from the distant horizon and arrived above West City in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, countless gazes within the city shot upward, followed by waves of astonished cries.
Jiu You and the others looked toward the sky and were equally startled.
Within the lightning was actually a magnificent golden carriage.
Golden dragon patterns were engraved upon the carriage, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations spread from it. This was what surprised them, this carriage was actually a Divine Artifact.
Of course, what truly drew Jiu You and the others' attention was not the carriage itself, but the four enormous silver beasts before it that resembled both horses and lions. Lightning flickered beneath their feet, and every step seemed to command thunder itself.
These were Thunder Lion Spirit Beasts!
It was said that they possessed Divine Beast bloodlines as well. If they matured fully, they could eventually evolve into true Divine Beasts. Yet now they were being used merely to pull a carriage.
This scene instantly caused a trace of coldness to emerge in the hearts of the five Divine Beast clan members present. Even the usually innocent Mo Ling's pretty face turned cold.
"Who is this person? Quite an extravagant display." Jiu You frowned slightly and spoke.
However, among those present, either they were newcomers entering the human world for the first time, or country bumpkins who had always wandered the Northern Region. Naturally, they did not recognize the meaning behind the emblem on the carriage.
Fortunately, the surrounding people knew.
"What a grand display. Looking at the patterns on that golden carriage, this should be someone from the Great Xia Dynasty of the Eastern Region!"
"Tsk tsk, the Great Xia Dynasty. That is the overlord of the Eastern Region. I did not expect them to arrive so quickly. Judging by the carriage, the person inside should at least be one of the princes of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Hehe, there are many women laughing within that carriage. It seems the person inside has quite the preference for such things. Among the Great Xia royal family, the only one with such tastes and such arrogance is probably Fourth Prince Xia Hong."
"Oh? Fourth Prince Xia Hong? You mean that Xia Hong who ranks twentieth on the Skylaw Continent Young Experts Ranking?"
"Of course it is him. I heard Xia Hong has already entered Ninth Grade Sovereign. However, this person cultivates through strange methods and leans toward dual cultivation techniques, which is why his progress is so rapid..."
In just a few sentences, the identity of the newcomer had already been mostly revealed. After hearing this information, Jiu You, Mo Ling, and Chi Hongwu immediately developed an even greater dislike toward the person in the carriage.
However, if the other party truly came from the Great Xia Dynasty, then such arrogant behavior could indeed be understood.
After all, the Eastern Region was unlike the chaotic Northern Region, where three major powers competed while the Northern Region remained an unstable factor. The Eastern Region was completely dominated by the Great Xia Dynasty alone, which naturally fostered this overbearing attitude of supremacy.
At the same time, two more voices sounded.
"Hehe, although this Xia Hong is impressive, compared to the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the gap between them is enormous..."
"That is only natural. The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is a famous genius throughout the Skylaw Continent. He ranks fourth on the Young Experts Ranking. Among the younger generation of the entire Skylaw Continent, how many people can compare to him?"
The speaker's voice was filled with admiration and reverence toward the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, clearly showing that he was a devoted admirer.
"It seems I was right. There really are many powerful monstrous geniuses on the Skylaw Continent..." Jiu You smiled faintly, now somewhat interested in this Skylaw Continent Young Experts Ranking mentioned by these people.
"Xia Hong has already entered Ninth Grade Sovereign yet is only ranked twentieth. It seems this ranking truly carries some weight." Excitement flashed through Zong Qingfeng's eyes.
While the group was discussing this, they failed to notice that Xia Hong had already emerged from the carriage with women in both arms. His gaze swept arrogantly across the crowd below like that of an emperor before quickly landing on Jiu You's group.
There was no helping it. Among the crowd, the three women Jiu You, Mo Ling, and Chi Hongwu were simply far too outstanding, perfectly matching Xia Hong's tastes.
"One noble, one innocent, and one fiery. All three are absolutely perfect!"
Strictly speaking, all three women originated from the Phoenix Clan.
Each of them possessed an innate nobility and holiness. To any man, such qualities were a fatal temptation.
Moreover, each had her own unique charm, and when seated together, their attractiveness multiplied several times over.
For a lustful maniac like Xia Hong, how could he possibly resist such temptation?
However, Jiu You immediately sensed that disgusting gaze. Her beautiful face instantly turned icy cold, and her sharp eyes pierced toward him like swords.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, a single glance from Jiu You would have been enough to severely injure the soul of any Sovereign below Fifth Grade.
But Xia Hong was obviously no ordinary person, and his cultivation was not inferior to Jiu You's. A mere gaze naturally could not intimidate him.
"Interesting."
Xia Hong revealed a wicked smile. He had not expected to encounter such beauties in this unfamiliar little place.
More importantly, these beauties actually possessed astonishing strength and were already not weaker than himself. This could already be considered the first gain of his trip.
As for the three men beside Jiu You, namely Dragon Arm Sovereign, Zong Qingfeng, and Bai Bin, they had already been completely ignored by him.
With the personalities of Zong Qingfeng and Bai Bin, how could they tolerate such treatment?
They were all heaven favored geniuses within their respective races. Which one of their backgrounds was weaker than a mere Great Xia Dynasty? If not for the fact that this was human territory, how could they allow a prince to act so arrogantly?
Most importantly, from Xia Hong's gaze, Zong Qingfeng and the others could clearly see the desire he held toward Jiu You and the other two women. Although he had not acted yet, it was obvious that he had already set his sights on them.
As beast slaves under Liu Bai, if someone dared harbor intentions toward their master's woman and they still did not act, then what were they waiting for?
Without any warning, a piercing cry suddenly resounded within everyone's hearts, causing many people to feel as though their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.
The four Thunder Lion Spirit Beasts that had originally been obediently pulling the carriage suddenly became violent. Their blood red eyes locked onto the Great Xia Dynasty guards driving the carriage as they directly spat out enormous spheres of lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Because no one had expected the already tamed slave beasts to suddenly rebel, several guards were instantly blasted into charred corpses by the terrifying lightning spheres.
Of course, this alone was naturally not enough to threaten Xia Hong, a Ninth Grade Sovereign. However, due to the sudden loss of control of the four Thunder Lion Spirit Beasts, the royal carriage directly overturned in the sky. Although Xia Hong managed to escape in time with his concubines, displaying such a scene before the entire city caused him to completely lose face.
His beast like vicious eyes instantly locked onto Zong Qingfeng. Naturally, Xia Hong had heard that sharp cry earlier.
"You've got guts!"
Xia Hong was furious. An even fiercer aura than that of Zong Qingfeng, who was a Divine Beast himself, erupted explosively from his body.
"Wang Wu, deal with him!"
A mere Eighth Grade Sovereign naturally was not worthy of making the Fourth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty act personally.
The moment Xia Hong's voice fell, a figure suddenly shot out explosively from behind him. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept forth like a storm.
"Half Step Ninth Grade..." Battle intent surged within Zong Qingfeng's eyes, but he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the opponent's strength.
Jiu You merely raised her brows slightly and showed no intention of stopping him.
He was only a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if they killed him, so what?
If Liu Bai were here, then with his utterly lawless personality, he probably would have directly captured this fellow and used him as bait to fish out Earth Sovereigns from the Great Xia Dynasty.
Seeing another good show about to unfold, not only were the people inside the restaurant unafraid, they instead watched excitedly like spectators eating melons.
Many were curious about the origins of this table of seemingly young men and women. They actually dared openly oppose the Great Xia Dynasty. Could they also be from some hegemonic force of another region?
Of course, such guesses held no meaning for now.
At this moment, after receiving Jiu You's permission, Zong Qingfeng had already arrived in the sky and confronted Wang Wu.
Without any intention of exchanging words, the man named Wang Wu carried boundless Spiritual Energy as he shot directly toward Zong Qingfeng. He held a blood red long blade in his hand, and its killing aura was extremely sharp. His clean and decisive methods clearly showed he was someone seasoned through countless battles.
Zong Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He appeared to completely ignore the incoming attack while crossing his arms before his chest, showing no intention of defending or counterattacking.
This scene caused many spectators to frown.
Anyone who dared display such an attitude during battle was either a fool or someone who truly possessed the strength to completely disregard his opponent.
Zong Qingfeng clearly seemed to be the latter, but what greatly puzzled the surrounding spectators was exactly what kind of confidence this young man possessed to so utterly ignore the attack of a Half Step Ninth Grade Sovereign!
