Swish! Swish! Swish!

At first, the majority of the people didn’t pay attention to Jiang Yi. Right now, all their eyes were instantly locked onto him—even Situ Yinian and Situ Yixiao looked at Jiang Yi. Huangfu Taotian’s eyes turned cold as he clearly knew about the grudge between Jiang Yi and Lu Lin.

Lu Yu also had a deep impression of Jiang Yi. He might have altered his appearance, but when her divine senses scanned over, she too stood up while her mouth was filled with cold intent while sneering. “Chief Jiang. It has been a long time since we last met.”

Qian Wanguan was seated inside, but he didn’t meet in person with Lu Lin and Lu Yu, and they didn’t have an impression on him. Thus, he wasn’t exposed today, and he also didn’t expect Lu Lin and Lu Yu to be here as well. Just as he was thinking out to get out of this situation, he never imagined that Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian would have come.

“Ke-Ke!”

Since his identity was exposed, Jiang Yi didn’t hold anymore. He was originally in a low-profile and hiding behind Huangfu Taotian, but now, his eyes were emitting radiance as he took a step forward and laughed. “Lu Lin, is this your White Dragon Archipelago and you want to make a move in the city? If you want to break the rules, then go ahead. This Chief can crush you with a single hand!”

“...”

There was nothing but silence as many young masters had a change in expression. Many of the people here didn’t know Lu Lin, but he was still a member of the 13 Clans. If Jiang Yi was behaving so rampantly, it was the same as slapping the faces of the young masters and ladies present.

“Ke-Ke!”

Huangfu Taotian laughed and cast a look of disdain at Lu Lin and spoke indifferently, “Young Master Jiang is Master’s brother. I am Master’s servant. If anyone wants to deal with Master and his brother, Huangfu Taotian will not hesitate to fight.”

When Qian Wanguan heard Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian’s declarations, he also felt strong-willed and added on with a cold voice. “Chief Jiang is my brother, and anyone who wants to deal with him will be my enemy...”

Lu Lin’s grandeur immediately weakened. He could disregard Jiang Yi’s words, but he had to treat Huangfu Taotian and Qian Wanguan’s word seriously. Especially this lunatic, Huangfu Taotian. If he was to provoke Huangfu Taotian who might disregard everything and make a move, Lu Lin would definitely be carried out from this place.

Lu Lin turned silent, and the atmosphere got awkward. Lei Qiyan, who was seated on the host seat on the left, laughed and said, “Lu Lin, you might want to repay vengeance with vengeance and repay resentment with resentment, but the city has its rules. Do you have grievances against this Chief Jiang? You can go out of the city or go to the Dueling Ground to settle it. Don’t be reckless in the city. Otherwise, when the seniors investigate, we all will not be able to bear the consequences.”

Lei Qiyan might look like he was resolving a dispute, but Lu Lin understood the hidden intention in his words. Lu Lin’s eyes flickered as he locked onto Jiang Yi and said, “Little bastard, if you have the guts, then follow me out of the city or to the Dueling Ground for a fight? Of course... if you are not a man, then we can forget about it.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi let out a long laugh and spoke back sharply, “Going out of the city or to the Dueling Ground are both fine. Of course, there must be a condition. The fight must only be between you and me, and no guards are to accompany us. Jiang Nobody is naturally a true man, but I don’t know about you, Lu Lin. Are you going to pee while you stand or while you squat?” Follow current s on Nov????lFire(.)nᴇt

Pshaw!

Situ Yinian and many young ladies blushed and involuntarily let out a giggle while turning around. Everyone present here were young masters and ladies from great clans, and they had all received etiquette education. They would never speak so vulgarly like this.

“Alright!”

Huangfu Taotian praised loudly and raised his thumb in regard to Jiang Yi inside his heart. This reverse psychology was used perfectly. He might not know clearly about Jiang Yi’s combat strength, but seeing how confident Jiang Yi was, it meant that crushing Lu Lin was a simple task. He spoke faintly, “A duel is very fair. Young Master Lu should be older than Brother Jiang, right? He naturally wouldn’t get his guards to interfere.”

Lu Lin was already 25 years old while Jiang Yi was only 20. One was a descendant of a great clan while the other was an unknown nobody. The conditions that Jiang Yi proposed to Lu Lin were very fair and in front of so many people. If Lu Lin didn’t dare to personally battle and sent his guard instead, he would definitely become a laughingstock for everyone.

“Uh?”

Lu Lin’s expression turned immense. He might not have witnessed Jiang Yi’s combat strength, but he had checked out Jiang Yi’s information and knew he was able to eliminate a middle-stage Heaven Monarch. How could Lu Lin, who was just a low-stage Heaven Monarch, dare to fight?

He originally wanted to cheat Jiang Yi out of the city and get his subordinates to kill Jiang Yi, but he was forced by Jiang Yi into a difficult situation instead. Today was actually Situ Yinian’s birthday. Hence, all the reputable young masters and ladies from the 13 Clans were almost fully present. If he was to cower in front of so many people, he would never be able to lift up head high in the future.

“Accept the challenge. I will lend you my Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor to you later on. I still have a Nine-Revolution Scarlet Blood Elixir, too...”

Hearing a transmitted message in his ears, Lu Lin’s body shook while his eyes lit up. The Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and the Mother Earth Armor were both spirit-connected cardinal treasures, and Lei Qiyan was actually going to allow him to use it?

Lu Lin might not be able to complete refine these two cardinal treasures, but with Mother Earth Armor, Jiang Yi wouldn’t be able to kill him. In addition to the Nine Revolution Scarlet Blood Elixir which could increase the power of the essence force by three folds in a short period of time, it was guaranteed that he wouldn’t lose this battle.

Lu Lin considered for a moment and laughed loudly. “Alright, little bastard. We will go to the Dueling Ground. Our grievances shall all be completely settled today.”

Huangfu Taotian frowned and glanced at Lu Lin suspiciously before he looked at Jiang Yi and transmitted a message: “Brother Jiang, do you have the confidence?”

Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, “Everyone present can be the witness. Lu Lin is the one that challenged me. If he is to die, the blame is not on me.”

“Wow!”

The hall was in an instant uproar. The young masters and ladies had been in the city recently, and it had been a long time since they witnessed a duel. Right now, they were actually going to see a duel between Lu Lin and Master Yi Piaopiao’s brother? It was natural that everyone was excited as they stood up and walked outside.

The Situ siblings laughed bitterly and looked at each other, but they didn’t voice out to stop the duel. Lu Lin wanted his face, Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi wanted their faces as well. This duel was already at the point of no return. Furthermore, the Gods Bestow City had a hidden rule. If both sides had agreed to the duel, not even the upper echelons of the four major clans could interfere.

In fact...!

The main purpose of the setup of this Dueling Ground was meant for the descendants of the great clans in the city to use. The 13 Clans had plenty of clansmen, and it was normal to have some conflicts from time to time.

Young people were fond of fights while the various clans didn’t want to get involved. If someone was unconvinced, they would go duel it out. The winner would obtain glory for the clan, but they would definitely be severely punished. The loser would never be able to stand with their head held up in the city or the clan in the future.

Dozens of young masters and young ladies led their guards and walked out of Situ Clan and boarded their war chariots and headed straight for the Dueling Ground in the western side of the city.

“En?”

Huangfu Taotian waited for Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi to board the luxurious war chariot before he also got onto the war chariot. On the shaft of the chariot, his eyes suddenly turned cold as he noticed that Lu Yu entered Lei Zihan’s war chariot while Lu Lin boarded Lei Qiyan’s war chariot.

“Brother Jiang!”

He entered the war chariot and transmitted a message with concern: “Lu Lin boarded Lei Qiyan’s war chariot. That Young Tiger Lei might lend a spirit-connected cardinal treasure to him. Why not... you use my Thunder Rush Saber, too? My battle armor might be a pseudo-divine artifact, but it doesn’t have a spiritual connection. There is no meaning to lend it to you. How are your defenses like?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi laughed and didn’t mind at all. He replied with a transmitted message: “Don’t worry, Big Brother Huangfu. A crap like Lu Lin will not be able to kill me. I will not use your Thunder Rush Saber. Even if you wiped out the spiritual imprint on it, I will not be able to completely refine it in such a short period of time and will not be able to wield its power properly. Moreover... I also have a spirit-connected cardinal treasure!”
