Chapter 0935 Ye Yaoxue

Chapter 0935: Night Invites Snow

Ten Superior Imperial Source Stones are a hell of a reward for those in the Martial Emperor Realm!

Murong Tianzhe smiled and said, "Gramps, you really have faith in me!"

City Lord Murong lowered his voice, "Today, you must save some face for me! If you lose after those guys earlier, even I’ll run out of excuses!"

"It’s all that womanizing jerk’s fault!" Murong Yuwei glared at Qin Yun, who was sitting below the arena.

Qin Yun was seated beside Kang Feiqing and Gong Feiyan.

Though many looked at Kang Feiqing with strange gazes, she was quite proud—after all, she had scored Qin Yun, an impressive Grand Master.

She knew very well of Qin Yun’s abilities. It was with his help that her Heavenly Patterns evolved, allowing her to suddenly break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Even if misunderstood, she couldn’t care less!

Gong Feiyan, however, felt kinda squirmy.

Kang Feiqing whispered, "Little Yun, do you think I could defeat Murong Tianzhe if I went up?"

Qin Yun shook his head, "I’m not sure. Do you want to give it a try?"

Kang Feiqing teased, "If you tell me to go, I will!"

"Nah, don’t push your luck—you just hit Emperor Wu!" Qin Yun chuckled.

Ying Chengyu said, "Brother Yun, why don’t you go up and take Murong Tianzhe down? If you go balls to the wall, you should be able to, right?"

"Who knows?" Qin Yun shook his head.

Truthfully, he did want to go up—to size him up, which would also give him a clearer understanding of Xie Wufeng’s strength.

But if he accidentally won, City Lord Murong’s pride would totally lose face.

Soon enough, someone stepped forward to challenge—a Midstage Martial Emperor elder from a sect!

Once the challenger appeared, City Lord Murong chuckled and descended from the arena.

The barrier went up, and the battle between Murong Tianzhe and the elder began!

No weapons were allowed in this duel—only martial techniques—so the spectators below were eating it up, cheering loudly.

In no time, Murong Tianzhe came out on top!

The elder conceded, as the gap was obvious.

Murong Tianzhe, only at the Initial Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, had defeated a Midstage Martial Emperor elder, leaving many in awe of his strength.

The fangirls’ shrieks hit new highs!

Kang Feiqing whistled, "No wonder he’s City Lord Murong’s eldest grandson—a true genius, capable of defeating even Midstage Martial Emperor Realm opponents!"

Qin Yun laughed, "Glad we sat this one out!"

Kang Feiqing cooed, "Little Yun, you’re much more handsome than him, and stronger too! Right, Feiyan? Or are you too busy eyeing him?"

Gong Feiyan quickly nodded, "I think you're better looking and more capable than him!"

Old Feitian laughed, "Of course! Yun bro's ability to repair artifacts is at the Grand Master level—no cap! If artifacts were allowed, two Murong Tianzhes wouldn't be a match for Yun bro!"

Old Feitian had seen Qin Yun duck into a cauldron and withstand the Tribulation Lightning that could kill a whole group of Half-Immortals, which was why he said so.

City Lord Murong and his group were seated four or five tables ahead of Qin Yun's. Suddenly, Murong Yuwei shot a glare at Qin Yun as if to tell him how strong her elder brother was.

Kang Feiqing noticed the little girl glaring at Qin Yun and glared back for him.

Qin Yun couldn’t care less, keeping his head down as he ate.

At this moment, another challenger stepped up against Murong Tianzhe—a middle-aged man at the Martial Emperor Realm Initial Stage.

The crowd was glued, though Qin Yun continued eating while observing.

Despite being beaten a few times earlier, Murong Yuwei was still fired up, whooping and cheering loudly for her elder brother.

Soon, Murong Tianzhe defeated the middle-aged man, drawing cheers!

City Lord Murong stood up and announced, "Defeat Murong Tianzhe, and you'll win twenty Superior Imperial Source Stones!"

Murong Tianzhe shook his head with a smile, "Grandfather, you wanna see me get wrecked?"

"Young man, you’ve rarely been defeated! You gotta take some Ls to grow!" City Lord Murong chuckled. "Spending twenty Superior Imperial Source Stones to have you beaten and tempered—I think it's worth it!"

Ying Chengyu whispered with a smirk, "Old Man Murong is fronting. If Murong Tianzhe loses, he’ll be pissed!"

Old Feitian grinned, "I’d love to see his eldest grandson lose so we can witness Old Man Murong’s meltdown!"

"Is City Lord Murong your boy?" Qin Yun asked.

"Of course he is! That’s exactly why we want to see him eat dirt!" Ying Chengyu replied cheerfully.

"Exactly! Old Man Murong never shuts up about how amazing his sons and grandsons are in front of us—it’s been annoying for a long time," Old Feitian added with a laugh.

Qin Yun chuckled as he ate—these were truly savage friends!

After ten consecutive matches, no one could defeat Murong Tianzhe.

Most challengers were at the Midstage Martial Emperor Realm.

A few battles were hype as hell, and even Qin Yun couldn’t deny Murong Tianzhe was a genius.

City Lord Murong was delighted and gave Murong Tianzhe a few energy pills to replenish his energy.

Now in a rest phase, City Lord Murong took the opportunity to run an auction.

The arena transformed into an auction stage.

The items up for auction were consigned by various families of Hundred Tower City, setting off fierce bidding wars over many dope loot.

None of those items were useful to Qin Yun, so he sat out.

Finally, the beast horn hit the stage!

The horn was white, over ten meters long, and weighed a ton—freaking huge.

That was put up for auction by Gong Zhangzhuo, and it wasn't auctioned with Purple Crystal Coins but with low-grade Emperor Source Stones instead!

According to the introduction, the beast horn could withstand attacks from immortal artifacts and was an immortal-grade refining material.

This caused a huge uproar!

Bidders jumped in left and right!

Although City Lord Mò Róng was only assisting with the auction, he needed to buy it to gift to Qin Yun, so he could only send someone to bid under the radar.

The beast horn was indeed precious, shot up past a hundred Emperor Source Stones in no time!

Based on the conversion rate of one low-grade Emperor Source Stone being worth one billion Purple Crystal Coins, a hundred Emperor Source Stones would amount to a hundred billion in Purple Crystal Coins.

But the bidding war raged on.

Soon, the price soared to one hundred and fifty low-grade Emperor Source Stones!

Qin Yun knew damn well that, given his financial means, acquiring that beast horn would be quite difficult.

"Who the hell has this many low-grade Emperor Source Stones?" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"They can't immediately produce that many Emperor Source Stones—they're buying on credit! Because they belong to powerful factions with enough Purple Crystal Coins, they can slowly scrape together Emperor Source Stones later!" Old Feitian explained.

In the end, the beast horn was snagged for one-seventy low-grade Emperor Source Stones by a representative of City Lord Mò Róng.

Since Gong Zhangzhuo had entrusted City Lord Mò Róng with the auction, the latter would skim a cut as commission, meaning he didn’t have to pay Gong Zhangzhuo the full amount of Emperor Source Stones.

Qin Yun finally relaxed.

"Old Man Mò Róng got fleeced!" Ying Chengyu laughed.

"Indeed!" Old Feitian also snickered under his breath.

Qin Yun couldn’t help but admire City Lord Mò Róng’s credibility and financial power—he’d pulled it off and bagged the horn.

After acquiring the beast horn, City Lord Mò Róng continued to have Murong Tianzhe take on challengers.

"Why is he still so happy?" Qin Yun asked quietly.

"You’re out of the loop—Old Man Mò Róng is extremely wealthy! Rumor has it that when he was a Tower Master, he raked in a fortune. Over the years, he’s received many gifts and accumulated quite a few Emperor Source Stones!" Old Feitian said.

"No wonder!" Qin Yun marveled.

City Lord Mò Róng took out twenty Mid-Grade Emperor Source Stones and stacked them under the stage, plain as day.

"If you want these twenty Mid-Grade Emperor Source Stones, come challenge Murong Tianzhe now!" City Lord Mò Róng bellowed.

Many Tower Masters had brought their outstanding disciples, but no one had the guts to step up.

Everyone knew that, at the Martial Emperor Realm Initial Stage or Intermediate Stage, defeating Murong Tianzhe was damn near impossible.

Murong Tianzhe’s strength surpassed even many of his elders' generation, which truly was a major flex for City Lord Mò Róng.

"I’ll do it!"

A voice, icy and crisp, rang out from above the arena.

A graceful woman in plain white robes, like some fairy-tale goddess touching down, slowly landed on the stage.

As soon as this woman appeared, the martial arena instantly fell silent. The people from the Hundred Towers Sect all wore expressions of shock!

The graceful beauty was wreathed in a faint mist, her delicate oval face graced with a gentle smile.

"Who is she?" Qin Yun asked Kang Feiqing.

Kang Feiqing, her face a mix of awe and envy, gazed at the woman in white on the stage and said, "She is the chief disciple of the First Tower of the Hundred Towers Sect, named Ye Yaoxue. They call her the Night Enchantress! Nobody knows her martial soul, or what techniques she uses. All we know is that she’s at the Midstage Martial Emperor Realm, and she's crazy strong!"

Murong Tianzhe looked at City Lord Murong below the stage and said with a wry smile, "Grandfather, I might lose this one!"

City Lord Murong, of course, had heard of the Hundred Towers Sect’s "Night Enchantress." He smiled calmly and said, "You won't know unless you try! Even if you lose, I want to see how you lose!"

Ye Yaoxue pursed her lips and smiled. "City Lord Murong, if I win, I only want ten Emperor Source Stones."

City Lord Murong looked puzzled. "Why only ten?"

"I believe defeating Murong Tianzhe is only worth ten Emperor Source Stones, as it’s an easy task!" Ye Yaoxue said with a light laugh.

The crowd went wild!

What arrogance—openly declaring that Murong Tianzhe was only worth ten Emperor Source Stones.

To be mocked by a woman, but nobody dared stand up for Murong Tianzhe.

Everyone knew Ye Yaoxue was powerful and mysterious!

No one expected her, who rarely appeared in public, to suddenly show up here.

City Lord Murong laughed. "Little girl, if you defeat my eldest grandson, take twenty - no need to be modest!"

"Since City Lord Murong is so generous, this girl won't say no," Ye Yaoxue replied with a faint smile. Then, she turned to Murong Tianzhe and said softly, "Xie Wufeng has already lost to me."

Hearing this, Murong Tianzhe stiffened!

A wave of gasps swept through the disciples and elders of the Hundred Towers Sect present.

Xie Wufeng had finally been defeated!

Within the Hundred Towers Sect, Xie Wufeng often challenged the geniuses of various towers and had never lost—at most, he'd tied. Yet now, he had been defeated by Ye Yaoxue!

But upon reflection, it wasn’t surprising. After all, Xie Wufeng was only at the Peak Martial King Realm, while Ye Yaoxue was two levels above him.

It could only be said that Xie Wufeng had been too arrogant to challenge Ye Yaoxue, leading to the end of his undefeated record.
