Chapter 764 Prefecture Lord Battle (1/2)

Yi Qiushui’s voice spread from the gate of the city, pa.s.sing into the ears of the many closely watching factions. A clamour even broke out.

No one thought that Yi Qiushui would be so decisive.

On the city walls, Qiu Long squinted as he sneered out loud, “Niece Qiushui is indeed courageous.”

Then he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Yi Qianji, who was in midair, “Is that what your Yi clan wants?”

Yi Qianji swept a glance over Yi Qiushui before he responded, “Before our master left, he said that Qiushui will be the new Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture. So what she says naturally represents my Yi clan.”

“She’s the head of the Yi clan, and that’s your Yi clan’s business, so I naturally have nothing to say. But as to whether she is the new Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, I’m afraid it can’t be decided by a word the head of the Yi clan said before his death,” Qiu Long said with mockery.

“According to the rules, before the new Prefecture Lord takes up the official post, it needs to be considered and pa.s.sed through Tianyuan Region’s elders committee!”

“The previous Prefecture Lord has the right to appoint a temporary Prefecture Lord,” Yi Qianji stated.

How would he not know about the Qiu clan’s wild scheme? Ultimately, they were after the position of Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, but the Yi clan absolutely wouldn’t give it up either. After all, the Yi clan also had to pay a considerable price in order to obtain that position.

“You also know that it’s just a temporary Prefecture Lord.” Qiu Long waved his hand dismissively. “My Qiu clan can oppose and initiate a Prefecture Lord battle.”

“Prefecture Lord battle?”

When these three words spread out, it undoubtedly shocked many people across Xuanzhou City. Once the Prefecture Lord battle was initiated, it meant the Qiu and Yi families would completely tear into each other’s faces.

Yi Qianji narrowed his eyes. “The Qiu clan really wants this?”

Qiu Long’s eyes drooped slightly. “I’ll repeat once again, hand over the beast that killed my son and the two families will be the same as before.”

Yi Qianji didn’t respond again. He just s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto Yi Qiushui.

A calm and composed expression remained on Yi Qiushui’s fair and bright face. Even if Qiu Long was pressing closer and closer, she had no intention of retreating. She simply nodded. “If the Qiu clan insists, then the Yi clan will accept the Prefecture Lord battle.”

The various forces and powerful people who were paying attention looked stunned. n.o.body expected Yi Qiushui to not hesitate to tear the face of the Qiu clan to protect an outsider.

The corners of Qiu Long’s mouth curved in a smile as he remarked, “Niece Qiushui is indeed remarkable.”

“According to the rules, since I am now at the Divine Dwelling stage, the Prefecture Lord battle should naturally be at my level,” Yi Qianji said solemnly.

“Of course, the Prefecture Lord battle this time is a matter of the Divine Dwelling stage.”

Yi Qiushui was only at the Divine Dwelling stage, so if they were to send out a Heavenly Sun expert, it would be impossible for the Prefecture Lord battle to go ahead. At that time, the Yi clan would similarly send out an expert of the Heavenly Sun stage, and the situation would only turn into an uncontrollable mess.

She slightly tilted his head, only to see a figure walking out from behind Qiu Long.

Countless gazes gathered on the tall man with knife-like brows. He exuded a chill that made one’s heart palpitate.

The younger generation of the various forces, including Mu Chao, had an abrupt change of expression, and their eyes went wide with shock and fear. “Qiu Ling? Isn’t he training at the Heavenly Spirit Sect?”

Yi Qiushui’s beautiful face instantly tensed up the moment the figure appeared.

The man in front was the Qiu clan’s eldest son, Qiu Ling!

Qiu Ling wasn’t trash like his younger brother. He was the leader of the younger generation of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, and he was later accepted as a disciple into the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

Qiu Ling had rarely returned to Xiaoxuan Prefecture these years, but his fame continued to rise, not only in Xiaoxuan Prefecture but also in Tianyuan Region.

Therefore, when Qiu Ling appeared, not only Mu Chao and the others felt an oppressive pressure, even Yi Qiushui felt it.

Under the gazes of countless people, Qiu Ling stood tall on the city wall and peered down at Yi Qiushui. “Qiushui, long time no see.

“I didn’t expect we would become enemies when we met again.”

He mumbled to himself. As for Zhou Yuan, he didn’t even sweep a glance at him.

Yi Qiushui increased her vigilance and didn’t answer.
