Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Behind Sect King Mountain.

Jun Wuxie walked out from under the iron fist. Uncle Bird waved his large sleeve, and the formation was activated, concealing the scene of the training ground.

Xu Daoling also rushed out of the enclosure. Kongxu threw away the large stone and soared upwards from under the waterfall.

"What's going on? Who dares to call Uncle Bird by his name directly?"

The two of them were unaware of the situation, as they had never seen He Jianyuan before.

"You beat up the elite disciples of the Great River Sword Sect, and now they've come looking for trouble."

Uncle Bird sat back down at the tea table and drank his tea, unconcerned.

"Afraid of what? We'll just beat them up again!"

Xu Daoling was instantly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"You can't beat them." Uncle Bird poured a bucket of cold water on him, saying, "He Jianyuan has brought the top three elite disciples of the Great River Sword Sect, who are also geniuses ranked in the top fifty of the Southern Domain's Wind and Cloud List."

"Uncle Bird, why are you boosting the morale of others and diminishing our own prestige?"

Xu Daoling was very unconvinced. Was he really inferior to the elite disciples of the Great River Sword Sect?

Jun Wuxie, however, showed a strange expression and asked, "Uncle Bird, what is the Southern Domain Wind and Cloud List?"

"The Southern Domain Wind and Cloud List is one of the ranking lists that reflects the strength of the young generation of martial artists in the Southern Domain. It has fifty seats, and those who can make it onto the list are all powerful individuals who can kill opponents across realms."

"The Southern Domain has such a list? What are the rankings of those three?"

Jun Wuxie and the others were very curious, having heard of the Wind and Cloud List for the first time.

"The last three places."

"Besides the Wind and Cloud List, are there any other lists?"

"Indeed." Uncle Bird nodded and said, "The Southern Domain has dozens of dynasties, with vast territories and numerous sects. Besides the Wind and Cloud List, there are also the stronger Star Glory List and the Heavenly Pride List."

"So, the Heavenly Pride List is the strongest…" Xu Daoling yearned, saying, "Uncle Bird, do you think we'll have a chance to break into the Heavenly Pride List in the future?"

Uncle Bird glanced at Xu Daoling and the bald little Kongxu, and said, "Probably not. Unless you have a miracle. However, that kid might have a slight chance."

He pointed at Jun Wuxie.

"Tch! I don't believe it. Is that Heavenly Pride List really that hard to get on?"

Xu Daoling curled his lips.

"Ignorance is bliss." Uncle Bird shook his head and said, "The top ten on the Wind and Cloud List can crush you with a single finger, while the last one on the Star Glory List can instantly kill the top ten on the Wind and Cloud List. As for the Heavenly Pride List, the weakest genius can blow you dozens of miles away with a single breath."

Jun Wuxie: …

Xu Daoling: …

Kongxu: …

"Mu Qianshan, what's this? Are you planning to hide and be a coward?"

He Jianyuan brought three elite disciples to the back mountain, his words extremely sharp and harsh.

"He Jianyuan, you're intruding without being invited. Your skin is really thick." Uncle Bird was still sitting at the tea table, slowly drinking his tea, not even looking at He Jianyuan, and said calmly, "There's still more than half a year before next year's life-and-death arena duel. What's the meaning of you bringing your disciples here today?"

"Hahaha!" He Jianyuan put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly upon hearing Uncle Bird's words, saying, "Are you pretending to be confused when you know perfectly well? Are you afraid?"

As he spoke, he strode forward, sneering, "That's right, haven't you always been a coward? Poor Qingyun, how could she be so blind as to fall for you?"

Uncle Bird's hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled, and then his whole body was shaking.

This was the deepest scar in his heart.

At this moment, He Jianyuan was tearing open his scar layer by layer.

With a 'pa' sound.

The teacup in Uncle Bird's hand shattered, and scalding tea splashed all over him.

"Sect King Academy, what meaning is there left in its existence?" A thin and lean young sword cultivator stepped forward a few steps, mocking, "Now that we've stepped on your faces, do you dare to retaliate?"

"Junior Brother Chu, how can you be so rude to Senior Mu?" Sima Yuan's sword robe fluttered, his black hair was thick, his eyes were piercing, and he walked to the front with a lantern, saying, "Senior Mu has a detached temperament and doesn't compete with the world. He can even endure his wife being exposed and refuse to come forward. What does stepping on the face of Sect King Academy count for?"

"Hmm." Xiang Ziyun flicked his sword robe and also stepped forward with a lantern, saying, "Let's just treat it as a leisurely sightseeing trip. It's just that the lighting on this Sect King Mountain is not good. Without lanterns, it's really hard to appreciate the beautiful scenery here, tsk tsk."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately raised the head lantern a little higher and shook it in front of Uncle Bird, Jun Wuxie, Xu Daoling, and Kongxu.

"Damn it, this Daoist is going to kill you bastards!"

Xu Daoling was furious and was about to rush up, but Uncle Bird's hand tightly grabbed him.

"Uncle Bird!"

Jun Wuxie's face was cold, and the anger in his heart was already surging.

These bastards from the Great River Sword Sect were being too bullying!

How could they endure this?

"Endure it for me, endure it until the life-and-death duel next year!" Uncle Bird gritted his teeth, his voice low and hoarse, saying, "Except for Wuxie, the two of you are not their opponents right now!"

"Endure my ass, they've already stepped on our noses!" Kongxu's eyes widened like an angry Vajra, and golden light flowed through his body as the Vajra blood was gradually recovering, saying, "Let us go, we have to fight even if we can't win today, even if we die!"

"Hahaha!" Sima Yuan laughed wildly, pointing at Jun Wuxie and the others, and said to Xiang Ziyun and Chu Yixuan, "Look, look at their incompetent and furious appearance, isn't it very similar to those fools on the life-and-death arena before?"

"Three clowns!"

Jun Wuxie sneered. Facing such provocation and verbal humiliation, how could he continue to endure?

A soldier should be indomitable!

A soldier's spine must always be straight. How can it be soft?

If you don't dare to fight back against the provocation of your peers, what qualifications will you have to pursue the path of the strong in the future?

"What did you say?" The smile on Sima Yuan's face suddenly froze as he looked down at Jun Wuxie with a condescending attitude: "You're just a piece of trash that my Great River Sword Sect doesn't even look at. It only takes one sword to kill you!"

"Want to try?"

Jun Wuxie's gaze was like a sword as he stared at Sima Yuan.

"Wuxie!"

Uncle Bird grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

"Uncle Bird! Do you know what I'm cultivating? Do you want to ruin my sword heart?"

Jun Wuxie broke free. Without waiting for Uncle Bird to speak, he looked coldly at Sima Yuan, Xiang Ziyun, and Chu Yixuan, and said, "If we're going to fight to the death, wouldn't it be boring? How about we set a time and let everyone in the entire capital come to watch the battle?"

"It seems you want to humiliate yourselves!"

Sima Yuan, Xiang Ziyun, and Chu Yixuan all laughed.

"How could we not fulfill such a wish to humiliate yourselves?" Sima Yuan looked at He Jianyuan. After receiving his approval, he immediately said, "Let you live for one more day. Tomorrow at noon, we'll fight to the death. You choose the location."

Jun Wuxie said coldly, "Under Sect King Mountain, tomorrow at noon, I will cut off your three heads!"

"Hmm, I admire your courage to seek death."

Sima Yuan chuckled dumbly.

"Mu Qianshan, do you see that?" He Jianyuan laughed and said, "Your disciples have more backbone than you, but unfortunately, they are very stupid. Tomorrow, three more head lanterns will be added to the mountain road of my Great River Sword Sect, hahaha!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with Sima Yuan, Xiang Ziyun, and Chu Yixuan.

"Wuxie, you…" Uncle Bird sighed. He knew that Jun Wuxie cultivated the sword intent of being unyielding and also had the strength to fight one of Sima Yuan and the other two, but what about Xu Daoling and Kongxu?

"Uncle Bird, don't worry!" Jun Wuxie said, "What I promised was only a life-and-death duel between me and them, and does not include the two of them!"

"Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Just because you can't bear to be humiliated, does that mean we're willing to endure such humiliation?"

Xu Daoling and Kongxu were instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"You are not allowed to fight tomorrow!"

Uncle Bird said to Xu Daoling and Kongxu.

"You kill us now, kill us, so we won't fight tomorrow!"

Xu Daoling and Kongxu said in unison.

"You…" Uncle Bird pointed at them, his fingers trembling slightly, his lips quivering, but in the end, he didn't say anything more, only sighed deeply.
