#17 - Ji Yinlan
Xiao Xu is dead.
People stared blankly at the bloody corpse on the stage, unable to return to their senses for a moment.
Until his death, Xiao Xu couldn't shout out the words to admit defeat.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say those words, but under the suppression of the sword intent, he had no chance to speak.
"Jun Wuxie, you are outrageous!"
The elders of the Xiao family trembled with anger, their faces ashen.
Xiao Xu was gone, a person who might have been able to cling to the Heavenly Mandate of the Xiao clan was gone just like that!
"Jun Wuxie, you actually killed the Envoy of Heavenly Mandate, causing my Great River Sword Sect to lose a genius!"
Elder Qi's eyes were cold as he stared intently at the young man on the stage, his hand hanging at his waist trembling, and terrifying true energy flowed between his fingers.
"Elder Qi!"
Lord Wu's expression changed slightly, sensing his killing intent, and couldn't help but remind him: "The selection competition for talents has come to an end, and Jun Wuxie is the one who won the Great River Selection Token. As for Xiao Xu, a dead man, how can he be called a genius?"
"This selection does not count!" Elder Qi gritted his teeth and said coldly, "This elder announces that Jun Wuxie's first place qualification is revoked! Want the Great River Selection Token? Dream on!"
Jun Wuxie's pupils constricted slightly upon hearing this.
"Elder Qi!"
Lord Wu glared at him.
"Don't look at this elder like that!" Elder Qi said coldly, "Xiao Xu is the Envoy of Heavenly Mandate, a person with connections to the Heavenly Mandate. His significance to this sect is something that a hundred Jun Wuxies cannot compare to!"
"But, Sister Qing, why does everyone want to bully Wuxie gege?"
Little Yueyao tightly grasped Qin Keqing's hand, her eyes filled with tears, feeling angry and aggrieved for the injustice Jun Wuxie was facing.
Qin Keqing sighed inwardly, not knowing how to answer.
"Jun Wuxie, follow this elder to the Great River Sword Sect to receive punishment!"
As Elder Qi spoke, he was about to step onto the stage to capture Jun Wuxie.
"Qi Kefu, you are just a registered outer sect elder, yet you have such great prestige."
Just as Elder Qi stepped onto the stage, a slightly cold voice rang out from behind the crowd.
"Marshal Ji!"
The city lord Wang Cheng turned around in shock and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and welcome her.
"Your subject, Wu Dayou, pays respects to the Third Army Marshal, Seventh Princess!"
Lord Wu was also taken aback and quickly knelt down.
"Greetings, Seventh Princess!"
The crowd automatically parted a wide path, and then knelt down in unison.
Ji Yinlan rode a pure white Thousand Spirit Steed to the front of the arena, coldly looking at Elder Qi, and said, "Are you abusing your power or bending the law for personal gain?"
"Seventh Princess, I..."
Elder Qi's throat was dry, and he dared not look at Ji Yinlan's gaze.
This Great Zhou legend is not only a princess but also the supreme marshal of the three armies. It is said that the sect behind her is very extraordinary, and even the higher-ups of their sect have to give her some face.
"Now, hand over the Great River Selection Token and the Qi Gathering Pill to Lord Wu."
"This..."
"Hmm?"
Ji Yinlan pointed her silver spear at Elder Qi, the war spear hummed and trembled, and a wisp of terrifying spear intent instantly locked onto him.
"I, I'll give it!"
Elder Qi shuddered, his entire body ice-cold. As the spear intent struck, he felt that every inch of his flesh and blood was about to crack open. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable and terrified.
Everyone was silent as cicadas in winter.
Ji Yinlan!
A resounding name!
The legend of Great Zhou, controlling the millions of troops of Great Zhou!
This name is shrouded in too many halos, extremely brilliant.
No one expected that this legendary figure would suddenly come to Qingyang City and stand up for Jun Wuxie!
"He disappointed me greatly." Ji Yinlan glanced at Xiao Xu, who was pinned to the stage, then looked at Jun Wuxie and said, "But you gave me a surprise."
"After our parting that day, the princess's demeanor is even more outstanding than before."
Jun Wuxie said, he did not expect that Ji Yinlan would appear.
"You deserve the credit."
Ji Yinlan nodded slightly to him.
Instantly, the entire audience was shocked.
What did the Seventh Princess mean by this? Was she saying that Jun Wuxie had helped her before?
If that was really the case, then Jun Wuxie's connections were too strong.
This Seventh Princess, the legend of Great Zhou, is not only skilled in commanding troops and strategizing, but also invincible among her peers in terms of cultivation!
It is said that in the past two years, no one has been able to withstand a single spear from her in the same realm!
On the third day of wielding the spear, her understanding of spear intent reached the grandmaster level!
Grandmaster level, that is the existence of founding a sect!
Although it is only a grandmaster in terms of artistic conception, not a realm in true energy cultivation, it is also extremely terrifying.
You must know that this legend is only eighteen years old this year, and she only used three days to achieve the spear dao grandmaster!
With such a powerful and unshakeable backer, wouldn't Jun Wuxie be able to walk sideways in the future?
"The Seventh Princess is too kind. To be honest, you helped me a lot."
Jun Wuxie recalled the matter of joining forces to kill the Flame Python that day. Ji Yinlan contributed more, playing the most important role in it, and he was just taking advantage of the situation.
At this time, Elder Qi's face had changed countless times.
He never expected that a young man from a small city would actually know the Seventh Princess. It wasn't that the Seventh Princess couldn't stand him acting for personal gain, but that they were old acquaintances!
His eyes flickered uncertainly. That kid named Jun had clung to the Seventh Princess. If he held a grudge against him in the future, it wouldn't be a good thing.
The people of the Xiao family now had changing expressions and flickering eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Your Great River Selection Token and Qi Gathering Pill."
Ji Yinlan reached out and grabbed, and the token and pill box in Lord Wu's hand arrived in her hand.
She casually tossed it, and the box landed steadily in Jun Wuxie's hand. Then, she took out a silver token from her storage ring.
"This is the Great River Sword Sect's inner sect special recruitment token. If you hold it and go to the Great River Sword Sect, after passing the basic assessment, you don't have to start as a registered disciple, you can directly enter the inner sect to cultivate."
At this moment, everyone was extremely envious. This was truly a great benefit. Entering the inner sect of the Great River Sword Sect was truly a meteoric rise in status.
The faces of the Xiao family turned green and white.
Now that Xiao Xu is dead, Jun Wuxie is the only one left in the younger generation of the Xiao family, but he has already been offended. What should they do now?
Having obtained the favor of the Seventh Princess, Jun Wuxie's future is bound to be limitless. The Xiao family must hold on tightly to this future big tree.
"The heavens favor my Xiao family! The heavens favor my Xiao family! Wuxie is a heaven-defying genius, truly a blessing to the family!"
The high-level members of the Xiao family changed their previous attitude and began to compliment loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They were still shouting to kill just now, and now he has become a blessing to the family?
