Chapter 849 - 847: The Curtain Falls

Chapter 849: Chapter 847: The Curtain Falls

The Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk was undoubtedly a top-tier precious medicine, extremely valuable. Although he had suffered heavy injuries today, taking this item away meant it wasn’t a huge loss. After all, he deserved it.

"UGH..." Jiang Yue Long’s teeth had all been knocked out. Air leaked from his mouth as he let out a pained, low growl. He forced his eyelids open, his gaze filled with deep-seated resentment.

Seeing this, Xu Yang grinned and slapped him hard across the face.

SLAP!

"What a sore loser!

"You think you deserve to be ranked sixth on the Dragon and Tiger List?

"A top-tier genius of the Eastern Continent? To be honest, I used to have a pretty good impression of the Eastern Continent’s geniuses. But as the saying goes, one bad apple ruins the whole bunch. You’re not even as good as Situ Ke."

If Situ Ke were here, he would undoubtedly grit his teeth and say "thank you."

SLAP!

SLAP!

The onlookers’ eyelids twitched. Seeing Jiang Yue Long’s face continue to swell under the slaps, with blood splattering everywhere, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

Mo Baijun violently beating Jiang Yue Long and Xu Yang violently beating him were two entirely different concepts. Although no one else from the Canglan River had shown up today, it was easy to imagine that they would hate Xu Yang to the core. This was a complete, fight-to-the-death feud. Jiang Yue Long might be nothing, but the Canglan River was a top-tier immortal sect.

After beating him for a while, Xu Yang shook his hand and murmured, "I’ll be waiting for your revenge.

"But next time, you’d better not bring any old fogeys along. Otherwise, Mr. Mo’s sword won’t show any mercy."

"UGH..." Jiang Yue Long was maddened with hatred, but he couldn’t even twitch.

Xu Yang stood up, looked at the Storage Ring, and hesitated for a moment before handing it to Mo Baijun. "I have to trouble you, Mr. Mo." His injuries had not yet healed, and his Primordial Spirit in particular had suffered a severe shock. He feared he wouldn’t be able to erase the imprint on it for a while.

Mo Baijun didn’t take it. Instead, a phantom sword shadow shot directly from his eyes.

BANG!

The imprint on the Storage Ring shattered instantly.

PFFT!

Jiang Yue Long’s body suddenly convulsed as he spat out a mouthful of blood, then twitched and fell completely unconscious.

Xu Yang quickly sent his divine sense inside to inspect it. At a glance, he saw the Ten Thousand Medicines Cyan Lotus Milk, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiling brightly. Subsequently, the dozens of other heavenly treasures and nearly one billion third-grade Immortal Crystals inside the Storage Ring nearly blinded him. As expected of the young master of the Canglan River, carrying so many treasures when he went out. Naturally, Xu Yang accepted them without any hesitation.

"Keep this item. It contains my Slaughter Sword Intent.

"If you encounter an old monster making a move, it can block them for a moment, and I will rush over as soon as possible," Mo Baijun said as he condensed a miniature blood sword in the palm of his hand.

Xu Yang hurriedly and carefully accepted it. If he encountered a similar situation next time, this would be his guarantee.

"Right, Mr. Mo, there’s one more thing," Xu Yang said, informing Mo Baijun of Liou Sanqian’s proposal.

Mo Baijun pondered for a moment. "Heaven’s Edge Tower? Is there something unusual between you and Heaven’s Edge Pavilion?"

Xu Yang sent a voice transmission, "I am the Dragon and Tiger Venerable!" There was no need to hide this matter from Mo Baijun.

"Dragon and Tiger..." Mo Baijun’s pupils constricted, a flash of shock passing through his eyes.

Not only did he know about the Dragon and Tiger Venerable, but he had also gone to challenge it back in the day, naturally returning in defeat. The difficulty was simply abnormal. Even though Xu Yang had a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation, the fact that he had actually become the Dragon and Tiger Venerable left Mo Baijun incredibly shocked.

"No wonder." He took a deep breath. Thinking back to Pavilion Master Cang’s attention that night, he figured that a part of the reason was likely due to Xu Yang. Otherwise, why would a dignified Golden Immortal Extreme Realm expert, a ranked powerhouse in the Eastern Continent, coincidentally pay attention to that particular area?

"This matter shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ll mention it to the Sect Leader when I return. As for the final outcome, it will depend on how Heaven’s Edge Tower negotiates with our sect," Mo Baijun said.

"Thank you, Mr. Mo," Xu Yang said, a look of joy on his face. Having Mo Baijun mention it was enough. If it succeeded, it would ultimately benefit him as well.

Suddenly, Mo Baijun turned his head to look in a certain direction outside Chongshan City.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Yang looked over curiously but didn’t notice anything.

"Someone is looking for me," Mo Baijun smiled with a playful expression.

"Who?"

"The third on the Wind and Cloud List. He was my rival back then. After I underwent my demonic deviation, he remained the first on the Dragon and Tiger List for all those years."

HISS!

Xu Yang silently clicked his tongue. The former number one on the Dragon and Tiger List, and now ranked third on the Wind and Cloud List. His strength was even greater than Mo Baijun’s.

"After all these years, I also want to see if his rank as third on the Wind and Cloud List is unearned.

"I’ll go on ahead." Mo Baijun waved his hand and soared into the sky. The sky full of blood swords instantly vanished without a trace. This was bound to be an astonishing battle. Unfortunately, Xu Yang was not yet qualified to participate at such a level.

Xu Yang let out a breath and walked straight away without even glancing at Jiang Yue Long. Halfway there, his heart stirred, and he suddenly turned around. He searched carefully in the potholes beside Jiang Yue Long and, sure enough, found a Storage Ring. Xu Yang’s eyes lit up; he put it away and turned to leave. This Storage Ring remarkably belonged to the Late Stage of Golden Immortal expert who had been killed by Mo Baijun with a single sword strike. The Storage Ring of a Late Stage of Golden Immortal was basically a treasure trove.

Coming outside, Liou Xueyan looked at Xu Yang with a complex expression. Xu Yang’s breakthrough in battle and his subsequent defeat of Jiang Yue Long had given her a massive shock. When they first entered the Eastern Continent, she hadn’t felt in the slightest that Xu Yang could catch up to her in a short period of time. However, things had not turned out as expected. Not only had Xu Yang caught up, but his speed was also unbelievably fast.

"I will work hard to catch up to you," Liou Xueyan said earnestly.

By now, Xu Yang no longer felt much disgust or repulsion toward Liou Xueyan. He couldn’t bear to shatter her conviction, so he offered a faint smile. "I’ll be waiting."

"What are your plans now?" she asked.

"I’ll find a place to go into secluded cultivation for a while."

"That sounds good." Liou Xueyan broke into a smile, then turned and left.

Xu Yang suddenly saw Hong Xiaoxing chasing straight after Liou Xueyan. Hong Xiaoxing and Liou Xueyan. Xu Yang shook his head and chuckled. Ignoring them, he walked over to Liou Sanqian.

"I was almost scared to death today.

"If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t have the qualifications to contact Mr. Cang, I would’ve summoned the Pavilion Master himself," Liou Sanqian sighed with a bitter smile.

Mo Baijun. A Guardian. After this battle, although they had thoroughly offended Jiang Yue Long and the Canglan River, with an expert of the Slaughter Sword Dao like Mo Baijun present, those old fogeys would have to weigh the consequences before making a move.

"Although I sustained some injuries, the outcome is good.

"And the harvest should be quite substantial," Xu Yang smiled, licking his lips. He hadn’t yet checked the Storage Ring of that Late Stage of Golden Immortal, but he imagined he wouldn’t be disappointed.

"Let’s head back to Heaven’s Edge Tower first. I told Mr. Mo about that matter earlier, and he said he’ll mention it when he goes back," Xu Yang said.

"That’s wonderful!" Liou Sanqian was overjoyed. Look! The very first benefit of the Dragon and Tiger Venerable had already arrived. As long as Mo Baijun put in a word, he could be certain there was basically no suspense. At most, there would just be some disputes over the specific negotiations.

After all, Mo Baijun had openly announced today that he was Xu Yang’s Guardian; there was no way Celestial Sword Mountain wouldn’t know about it. Add Xu Yang’s own potential into the mix, and it was no exaggeration to say that in the current Eastern Continent, Xu Yang and Celestial Sword Mountain were natural allies.

"Let’s go," Xu Yang said, and he and Liou Sanqian quickly departed.

Tens of thousands of cultivators watched them from a distance, sighing with emotion and exclaiming in endless amazement.

"The Northern Province is about to rise."

"Between Liou Xueyan and Xu Yang, they’ve beaten nearly half of the top geniuses in the Eastern Continent."

"Especially Xu Yang. Now that he has Mo Baijun as his Guardian, once he grows up, at the very least, the gap between him and Di Qinghe won’t be too large."

"Today was a real eye-opener. To think that a figure like Mo Baijun would actually act as someone’s Guardian. It’s unbelievable."

"That trash, Jiang Yue Long, is a f*cking disgrace to the cultivators of the Eastern Continent."

"Don’t even mention Jiang Yue Long. As of today, I’ve kicked him out of the ranks of Eastern Continent geniuses. If there were a list for the most shameless and brazen people, he would definitely take first place."

...

The various discussions showed no signs of stopping. It was foreseeable that after this battle, Xu Yang’s name would rise to a new level in the Eastern Continent. He would not be inferior to the likes of Di Qinghe, Ji Wushuang, or Yv Feng. In the Eastern Continent, he had completely established his foothold. With Heaven’s Edge Pavilion, Mo Baijun, and Celestial Sword Mountain behind him, anyone wanting to deal with him in secret would have to carefully weigh the consequences. The crowd slowly dispersed. Whenever someone occasionally thought of Jiang Yue Long, they would turn back to look at him with nothing but disgust and mockery.

At a certain moment, a figure silently appeared beside Jiang Yue Long, scooped him up, and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
