Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Beneath Mount Zongwang, all was utterly silent.

This was the longest period of silence of the day.

For a long time, no one spoke, not even a whisper could be heard.

People looked at the dazzling, radiant youth in azure robes on the Life and Death Stage, marveling in their hearts.

Jun Wuxie!

Just a short while ago, he was someone the Great River Sword Sect wouldn't even bother accepting as a disciple.

Today, with three swords and three kills, he silenced the elite disciples of the Great River Sword Sect.

"Great River Sword Sect, is there anyone else who wants to come up and seek death?"

Jun Wuxie's words were extremely forceful, his sword pointing at the Great River Sword Sect, causing them to collectively lose their voice.

Today was a life-and-death duel between elite disciples and Zongwang Academy disciples, so core disciples naturally couldn't fight, and the sect's management certainly wouldn't.

After all, the Hunter Guild and Juba斋 were present, and these two forces seemed to have a good relationship with Jun Wuxie.

Forcibly bullying him with power would probably be more trouble than it's worth.

He Jianyun deeply understood the pros and cons.

Even if his heart was being devoured by ten thousand ants, he could only forcefully endure it.

"What should we do with the corpses of these three Great River Sword Sect guys?" Seeing that the Great River Sword Sect didn't respond, Jun Wuxie immediately pointed at the corpses and said to Uncle Bird and Old Wine, "Should we also turn them into some kind of decorations?"

"Forget it, we are humans, not beasts in human skin like He Jianyun, we can't do such insane things." Old Wine shook his head and said, "Bring them all back next year for the Life and Death Duel!"

"We will!"

Jun Wuxie nodded emphatically.

"It's just winning against my sect's elite disciples!" Yu Zhi gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Next year's duel, you will face my sect's strongest true disciples, and then we will definitely turn your heads into lanterns!"

"You lost, so you want to forcibly regain face?" Uncle Bird retorted sarcastically, "Next year, you will lose even more miserably!"

"We'll see!"

He Jianyun flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Yu Zhi led the others, collected the three corpses, and also left in a hurry.

Only then did people come back to their senses, and instantly the place exploded.

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell.

There were also people who were heartbroken, having lost their years of savings on the bets, and were in unbearable pain.

"Third Prince, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Jun Wuxie looked at the Third Prince's pale face and said, "Third Prince, you should take care of your body. To look so weak at such a young age is really worrying."

"Jun Wuxie, how dare you be so insolent to this Prince!"

The Third Prince's face was gloomy. This damned Jun Wuxie had brought nothing but trouble since they met at Juxian Manor!

"Third Prince, you should put away your princely airs in front of me, I don't buy it." After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yang Qingya and smiled brightly, "Princess Qingya, your Mu Yang family must have lost a lot this time, right?"

"Jun Wuxie!"

Mu Yang Qingya's sexy and beautiful face was as cold as frost.

Being looked at by him like this, she was reminded of the slap in Juxian Manor, her face still seemed to burn and ache faintly.

This damned country bumpkin dared to slap her!

In her entire life, she had never been hit by anyone. Who didn't hold her in their palms?

"Let's go!"

The Mu Yang family's higher-ups stood up with cold faces and left with a flick of their sleeves.

People left one after another, and before long, only Su Lan and Qin Keqing were left.

"Wuxie, congratulations, you are a rich man now."

Qin Keqing teased with a smile.

"Miss Qin, I didn't expect there to be so many gold coins in your card." Jun Wuxie didn't want to take advantage of others and said, "Let Su Lan estimate how much my beast core can be mortgaged for, and that will be how much I betted."

"That won't do. You used the beast core as collateral, it's all about your willingness, there's no fixed price." Qin Keqing pretended to be displeased, "Besides, you are the real protagonist in this gamble. We only earned a huge fortune because of you, so that's all you deserve. If you refuse again, I'll be angry."

"But..."

"No buts, I'll go and collect the winnings now and send them to you later. How about we celebrate here tonight?"

"Alright."

Jun Wuxie touched his chin helplessly.

He had a feeling like he was in a dream.

Had he just transformed into a multi-billionaire?

Su Lan smiled and chimed in, "Today is worth celebrating. I'll bring some ingredients over later, and Keqing and I will cook ourselves to thank you for letting us win so many gold coins."

"You can cook?"

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. These two looked like they had a life of luxury, did they even know how to cook?

"Who are you looking down on?"

Qin Keqing and Su Lan both gave him a big eye roll.

"Alright, we have to go and collect the winnings and buy ingredients, and it's getting late."

Qin Keqing and Su Lan said goodbye to Jun Wuxie, waved to Little Yueyao in the distance, and turned to leave.

"Brother!"

Returning to the foot of Mount Zongwang, Little Yueyao ran over and hung on him like a koala.

"Brother is so awesome!"

She was so happy that she kissed him on the face, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Senior Brother!" Xu Daoling and Kongxu struggled to stand up, extremely excited, "You really brought glory to our Zongwang Academy today! In next year's Life and Death Duel, we will also try to kill a few more Great River Sword Sect bastards!"

"There are plenty of opportunities. The grudges between our Zongwang Academy and the Great River Sword Sect will not stop until they are completely settled."

Jun Wuxie said very calmly, but he didn't feel relieved in his heart.

The Great River Sword Sect was a behemoth, and its overall strength was more than a hundred times stronger than the dilapidated Zongwang Academy.

The most important thing was that the Great River Sword Sect had the Qingshan Sword Sect behind it, which was an upper-level sect, and its power was unimaginable.

In the future, if he really wanted to shake the foundations of the Great River Sword Sect, would the Qingshan Sword Sect intervene?

This was a question that had to be considered.

In short, settling the grudges with the Great River Sword Sect was a long and arduous task, and it was by no means easy, with too many deep implications.

"Today's battle, although Wuxie won with three swords and three kills, allowing our Zongwang Academy to achieve victory, you two should also understand the gap between yourselves and the disciples of the Great River Sword Sect." Uncle Bird said earnestly, "Among the three of you, Wuxie has the greatest potential. Although you are not as good as him, it is possible for you to become geniuses in the future. Now, your biggest disadvantage is that your realm is still low, and there is a considerable gap between you and the top talents of the same generation."

"We dragged Senior Brother down..."

Xu Daoling and Kongxu were very remorseful.

"Just cultivate hard in the future." Old Wine said, "Next, you will continue to stimulate your own bloodline potential and strengthen your strengths. At the same time, work hard to improve your realm. You don't have to worry about spiritual medicine resources. Over the years, I and Qianshan have accumulated a lot."

"Give all the sect's resources to them in the future, don't consider me."

Jun Wuxie knew that these resources must have been collected by Uncle Bird and Old Wine by traveling to famous mountains and rivers, which was very difficult.

Now that he had enormous wealth, he could directly go to Juba斋 or Tianjing Tower to buy whatever he needed.

"When the time comes, I will leave some funds for the sect, and we will buy whatever we lack."

Old Wine was slightly taken aback: "Are you leaving?"

Jun Wuxie nodded: "Yes, there are some things I must do, and I may leave the sect temporarily after some time."

Old Wine was silent for a moment, then said: "I will not interfere with your affairs, but if you have any difficulties, you must tell me and Qianshan. As long as we can help you, we will do our best."

"I will."

He nodded. Old Wine and Uncle Bird were really good to him, and he could feel it in his heart.

Old Wine patted him on the shoulder, pointed into the distance, and said, "Someone is looking for you over there, and has been waiting for you for a while."

Jun Wuxie turned to look, and on a mountain path thousands of meters away, a woman in a silver-white dress stood quietly, looking at him from afar with a smile on her face.

"Ah, it's that beautiful Princess Sister." Little Yueyao's big eyes were bright and sparkling.

Jun Wuxie was immediately shocked.

Thousands of meters away, Little Yueyao could actually see that it was Ji Yinlan?

This was too incredible!

Even a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist would find it difficult to see the facial features from such a distance!

Her eyesight was comparable to a Cave Heaven Realm martial artist?

Ji Yinlan appeared at this time, what did she want from him?

Jun Wuxie was puzzled and walked towards the mountain path.

During the Life and Death Duel, he did not see Ji Yinlan's figure in the crowd.
