Chapter 923 Seeing Su Youwei Again (1/2)

Xu Ming peered down at Zhou Yuan from the towering tree, his expression indifferent.

The expressions of the members from the four pavilions abruptly changed when they heard Xu Ming’s words, and their faces reddened with anger. Xu Ming was indeed as the rumors said: extremely arrogant.

Zhou Yuan, the chief pavilion master of the Tianyuan Region, had a high and mighty status, while Qiu Jiu was just a n.o.body from the Yaogui Region. How could Zhou Yuan apologize to him!

Xu Ming’s words were an insult to the Tianyuan Region.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes. “You finally showed up? Then what about the matter of you taking our building?”

Xu Ming tilted his head slightly, staring coldly at Zhou Yuan. “Do you not understand what I said? I told you to let them go and apologize.”

Zhou Yuan shook his head. “It seems that you don’t plan to resolve the problem.”

He motioned with his hand. “Strip them and hang them at the city gate.”

The Tianyuan Region disciples immediately began to strip their clothes. Qiu Jiu and the others’ expressions changed drastically as they cried for help. They would lose all their face if they were hung naked.

There was a chilly glint in Xu Ming’s eyes as he uttered, “How dare you give no face to the Yaogui Region! Give me back my people!”

The hundreds of figures behind him were ready to act.

“Disciples of the Tianyuan Region, listen to my order. Get into formation. Whoever dares come forward, kill them!” Zhou Yuan thundered.

“Yes!”

The 2,000 disciples responded immediately. Mighty Genesis Qi erupted as they intently watched for movements among the Yaogui Region’s people.

With 2,000 people staring at them, even those from the Yaogui Region were a little afraid to move because they were outnumbered. They only had 100 people with them.

Gasps of astonishment sounded throughout Fallen City.

No one had thought that Zhou Yuan would be so fierce. Did he really intend to start a fight?

Xu Ming’s eyes glinted fiercely at Zhou Yuan’s actions. “Is it correct to say that the Tianyuan Region plans to battle the Yaogui Region before the nine regions tournament even begins? It’s not that I look down on you, but you and your people are no match for my Yaogui Region!”

Three thousand people from the Yaogui Region had come to the tournament, and overall, they were much stronger than the Tianyuan Region. There was no doubt they would dominate the battle.

“Don’t worry. You don’t have to be considerate of us. Both sides would just suffer in the end. My Tianyuan Region was last in the previous nine regions tournament, so our results can’t be any worse than before.

“In other words, if we dragged your region down with us, it would be a bit of a gain from last year.”

Countless people's eyelids trembled. The Tianyuan Region’s chief pavilion master did indeed have a fiery temper, but what he said made some sense. The Tianyuan Region was last in the previous tournament, so how could they do any worse? As they said, the man with nothing fears n.o.body.

The Yaogui Region was indeed stronger overall, but they would suffer a great loss even if they were to win. As a result, they might not pa.s.s the next three rounds.

On the contrary, their scuffle would benefit the other top forces.

Within Fallen City, the eyes of the people from the other top forces lit up, and the watchers repeatedly yelled in their minds: “Fight! Fight!”

Xu Ming’s eyes grew colder and colder. He evidently didn’t expect Zhou Yuan to threaten him like that!

If they were alone, he would have gotten rid of Zhou Yuan that day regardless of means. But Xu Ming now carried important responsibility. He didn’t know whether or not Zhou Yuan would really dare to fight all out with them at the gate, but he couldn’t take the risk. Once a large-scale battle broke out, there would be inevitable losses.

It would only benefit other people in the end.

But if Xu Ming were to ignore Zhou Yuan’s threat, wouldn’t that make him appear weak? He was a top heaven pride ranked on the Divine Dwelling List of Hunyuan Heaven. He had remarkable battle achievements! But what about Zhou Yuan? He had only defeated Chen Xuandong, so how could he be compared to him?

He originally thought that Zhou Yuan would humble himself when he showed up. But unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan, who was newly promoted to the ninth place on the Divine Dwelling List, acted arrogantly in front of him. Xu Ming was unable to contain his anger anymore.

That arrogant thing!

Xu Ming drew a deep breath, lifted his palm and stopped the Yaogui Region experts who were waiting on his signal to fight.

When the bystanders saw his actions, disappointed sighs sounded throughout Fallen City. In the end, Xu Ming remained rational and didn’t go crazy with Zhou Yuan.

Studying Zhou Yuan carefully, the corners of Xu Ming’s lips curved in a sneer. “Zhou Yuan, we all carry heavy responsibilities, and there is no need to scare people with your reckless threats.

“What do you say? Do you accept the challenge?”

A commotion broke out in the surroundings. Xu Ming was indeed cunning. He wanted to force Zhou Yuan to fight. Although Zhou Yuan had defeated Chen Xuandong, n.o.body thought he had the strength to compete with Xu Ming, a top heaven pride of the nine regions.

Therefore, if a fight were to break out between the two, Zhou Yuan would suffer a huge loss.

Countless eyes s.h.i.+fted to Zhou Yuan, waiting for his response.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged under those watchful gazes. “How do you want to play?”

The corners of Xu Ming’s mouth tugged just slightly upward. He took off a string of white beads from his wrist and, with a flick of his finger, broke off five white beads. Dazzling light erupted, and the beads rose and transformed into five gigantic white jade beasts tens of meters tall.
