Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 813: Chapter 13: Li Yao Enters the Capital! The Strong Wind Blows_4

Indeed, even as she ate, she had already entered a state of Cultivation, beginning to digest the vital energy brought by the food.

“What potent ‘True Water Mysterious Energy’, what rapid absorption speed.”

As a member of Heng Commandery Prince and the Imperial Household, not only was his strength formidable, but his experiences were also extraordinary. Yet now, his attention was wholly captivated by her, and he couldn’t help but express his amazement repeatedly.

However, just a few breaths later, he noticed something peculiar, “Eh? The characteristics of her Mysterious Energy clearly come from one of the top-quality Cultivation Techniques of the Sacred Land’s Nine Veins—the ‘Tianyi True Water True Verses’. The method she’s using, could it really be the Small Divine Power—’True Water Transforms All Things’?”

“This young woman is only at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Human Realm in her Cultivation base, yet she has been granted permission to cultivate the Sacred Land’s legacy True Verses—could she possibly be a Great Heavenly Proud of the Sacred Land? No, that doesn’t seem right. Among the young generation of the Tianyi True Water Vein, one of the Sacred Land’s Nine Veins, there is no heir to the Great Heavenly Proud.

Great Heavenly Prouds are rarely seen throughout history.

Even within the Sacred Land’s Nine Veins, not every generation is lucky enough to find a suitable heir to the Great Heavenly Proud at just the right time. Occasionally, there would be a break in the lineage for some veins.

Of course, as long as the Sacred Land remains, even if a vein temporarily breaks, it will eventually continue.

But no matter which vein, whenever a suitable heir to the Great Heavenly Proud appears, they would inevitably be a prominent figure known all over the world, and it’s impossible for one to just pop up out of nowhere like this.

While Heng Commandery Prince was riddled with doubts, Fang Yaowu—Heavenly Human Realm Arrogant from the military arts domain—finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He collapsed to the ground with foam at his mouth, his vital energy churning violently within his body, which looked very alarming.

Every King of Gluttons competition witnessed similar incidents—participants pushing themselves beyond their limits despite being unable to eat more.

Seeing this, the waiters of White Cloud Tower immediately commanded the guards to carry him away, and they forced an emetic into him.

“Fang Yaowu is, after all, a bit inferior to Shangguan Yunhong, who possesses a Devouring class bloodline.”

Many of his supporters were full of regret.

Now, all eyes were on the enigmatic and dignified woman resembling an Immortal, and on Shangguan Yunhong, to see who would emerge victorious.

Half an incense stick’s burning time later, Shangguan Yunhong picked up the last piece of barbecued meat to his mouth. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he almost vomited it right out and finally gave up completely. He ran under the stage and heaved violently.

After a considerable time, he recovered enough strength to run back to the stage, furiously pointing at the mysterious woman and cursing loudly, “I, Shangguan Yunhong, possess a Devouring class Bloodline and have finely cultivated my Horizontal Refining Battle Body. How could I possibly lose?! You must have cheated! I refuse to accept this defeat. I’ll tear off your veil to see which enchantress is causing trouble here!”

With that, the aura around Shangguan Yunhong surged violently, and he charged towards the mysterious woman with thunderous steps. His hand, as large as a fan, shot out swiftly, reaching for her veil.

Under the lamp light, it was clear to see that his entire arm thickened and bulged instantly, the muscles twisting as if a torrential force was brewing within.

Even the tips of his fingers cutting through the air were letting out shrill whistling sounds.

It was evident that, though this claw strike was done casually, its might was still not to be underestimated.

“Miss, be careful.”

“Immortal, run quickly.”

The supporters of the mysterious Immortal below the platform were anxious, loudly alerting her and rebuking Shangguan Yunhong, “Shangguan Yunhong, you’re despicable for not accepting your loss after being defeated!”

But before Shangguan Yunhong’s hand could touch her veil,

the mysterious woman deftly dodged his claw and, like lightning, delivered a kick to Shangguan Yunhong’s belly.

A “boom” sound resonated, and Shangguan Yunhong, with a body as sturdy as an ancient war elephant, was hammered fiercely, flying backwards out of the stage and smashing heavily onto the ground.

In the midst of everyone’s stunned silence,

the mysterious Immortal gently lifted her hand, and a huge scroll rose in the air, hanging steadily at the top of White Cloud Tower; it then unfurled from top to bottom with a rustling sound.

A vast vertical banner was suddenly displayed before everyone’s eyes.

It was inscribed with a row of fluid and powerful characters: “Longzuo Academy’s Tianhe Successor, Wang Liyao, aged sixty-nine, stages a challenge here today—first defeating the Sky Prides of Shangjing, then sweeping through the Sacred Land’s Nine Veins. Anyone below the age of one hundred and fifty is welcome to battle; none shall be rejected!”

Upon the release of this banner,

the scene fell deathly silent.

The supervisor next to Heng Commandery Prince froze completely, cold sweat beading on his forehead, “My God… this is the Challenger of Heaven… How many years has it been since Shangjing had such a grand event?”
