Chapter 83: Eighty-three, have you had enough fun?

"Yun Xiao, this Prince would like to see just how much ability you really have?"

Seeing that Cao Luo had already walked behind Yun Xiao, Xuan Zhi finally revealed a sinister and triumphant smile on his face. Because of the fresh blood on half of his face, this smile appeared particularly eerie.

Yun Xiao naturally sensed Cao Luo’s presence behind him, but a hidden cold sneer flashed through his eyes. Although the cooperation of these two would be somewhat troublesome, it certainly didn’t reach the extent that he would retreat without a fight.

As long as he utilized all his means, Yun Xiao believed that even if he might be severely injured, these two would definitely have a hard time as well. It’s just that he didn’t want to resort to this step unless absolutely necessary.

After all, he had already taught Zhao Ningshu a lesson today and made the Third Prince Xuan Zhi of the Xuanyue Empire suffer a loss. Yun Xiao had taken advantage of the situation; he really didn’t want to entangle with these people any further.

"Hey, the two senior brothers and sisters over there, if you keep ignoring this, and someone ends up dead, don’t blame me!"

Suddenly, Yun Xiao turned around and called out loudly in one direction. The senior brothers and sisters he mentioned were naturally Jade Pot Sect’s two great talents, Yin Huan and Mo Qing.

However, the implication in Yun Xiao’s words was subtle with a thoughtful timing. As the crowd pondered, Xuan Zhi angrily retorted, "Hmph, you think you can kill someone? You should be more concerned about your own life!"

Because Yun Xiao made him lose face and become disheveled today, if Xuan Zhi couldn’t recover face here, this incident would become the laughing stock not only in the Jade Pot Sect but throughout the entire Xuanyue Empire among many cultivators.

In Xuan Zhi’s view, with the status of being the Third Prince of the Xuanyue Royal Family, the two over there would absolutely give him face. Currently, by joining forces with Cao Luo, there was a good chance to slay Yun Xiao on the spot, an opportunity he did not want to miss at any cost.

"Enough already! Have you caused enough trouble?"

Just as Xuan Zhi was about to launch another Meridian Qi attack with a cold snort, a clear and cold female voice suddenly came from somewhere, causing him to turn his head in surprise. The speaker turned out to be Mo Qing of the Jade Pot Sect.

Even Yin Huan, standing beside Mo Qing, looked at her with some puzzlement. He had also thought that Mo Qing wouldn’t concern herself with such trivial matters because until now, both Yun Xiao and Xuan Zhi hadn’t turned in the pill recipe materials, and strictly speaking, neither of them qualified as true Outer Disciples of the Jade Pot Sect.

Seemingly sensing the unusual looks from those around her, Mo Qing turned her icy face and said, "Can’t you see that if the fight continues, there’s a high likelihood of mutual destruction? If that happens, how are we to explain to the elders?"

Hearing Mo Qing’s words, Yin Huan was momentarily stunned but then quickly realized the significance and nodded. In truth, he didn’t care about Yun Xiao’s fate; the boy had no backing and killing him wouldn’t be a big deal. It would be best to bring him severely injured to his teacher for research.

However, the strength Yun Xiao had shown previously was not much less than that of the Third Prince Xuan Zhi of the Empire. Moreover, Yun Xiao had made Xuan Zhi suffer embarrassingly with several gashes from the Meridian Qi Sword.

Despite Xuan Zhi now teaming up with Cao Luo to deal with Yun Xiao, who knew what the outcome would be? If Yun Xiao ended up defeated, then it would be fine. But if anything happened to Xuan Zhi, even the Jade Pot Sect would have to carefully weigh the wrath of the Royal Family.

It seemed that Yun Xiao had impressively made these talented individuals of the Jade Pot Sect take him seriously with his strength, even if Yin Huan, who had always harbored malice towards him, didn’t dare to take such a risk.

"Sister Mo Qing is right. Let’s stop here for today. Once you enter the Outer Sect of the Jade Pot Sect, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to spar!" Mo Qing’s reminder galvanized Yin Huan to make his presence felt, and his statement effectively put an end to the fight.

"You... you two..."

The consecutive words from Mo Qing and Yin Huan almost made Xuan Zhi spit out a mouthful of blood in frustration. It was exasperating that he had finally persuaded Cao Luo to join forces with him, only to be thwarted by these two.

But this was not the Xuanyue Royal Family territory, and the overall strength of the Jade Pot Sect was not much less than that of the Xuanyue Royal Family. Moreover, Xuan Zhi had significant plans for attending the Outer Disciple assessment of the Jade Pot Sect this time, and he did not wish to clash with the sect’s talents just yet.

Indeed, these two were in control of the standards for the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Disciple assessment. If they were displeased with him, even as the Third Prince of the Empire, Xuan Zhi might end up in an unfavorable situation.

The reason for his restraint, apart from Mo Qing and Yin Huan overseeing the assessment, was also because these two were much stronger than Xuan Zhi. He dared to stand against Yun Xiao and reprimand any young talent loudly, but he never dared to offend these two.

"Hehe, it seems that the senior brother and sister have a clear understanding of the situation!"

Yun Xiao’s soft chuckle came once more, and while it infuriated Xuan Zhi even further, the surrounding crowd looked somewhat amused because at this moment Yun Xiao was like someone who had received a favor and was now smug about it.

"Alright, hand over your medicinal ingredients!"

Mo Qing did not concern herself with Yun Xiao’s sentimentality; her beautiful eyes swept over the youth in coarse clothing, and eventually she lightly opened her mouth to address the main topic of this examination for the Jade Pot Sect Outer Disciple.

No matter how irreconcilable the conflict between Yun Xiao and Xuan Zhi, to an Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Pot Sect like Mo Qing, their quarrel seemed no more serious than child’s play. Her most important task was to recruit new blood for the Jade Pot Sect, or more precisely, for the medical lineage of the Sect.

"Hmph, Yun Xiao, consider yourself lucky this time. Once we enter the Jade Pot Sect, I have ways to make your life worse than death!"

Since no more fighting was possible, harsh words had to be said, and as Xuan Zhi uttered these, Yun Xiao’s smile became even more pronounced.

"Eh? If I’m not mistaken, it was Third Prince who just suffered a setback, no? If we’re talking about luck, I’m certainly not as fortunate as you!" Yun Xiao, the reincarnation of the Long Xiao Battle God, was not to be outdone in verbal sparring by these young talents of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

His few sentences ruthlessly tore open the healing wounds of Xuan Zhi, drawing the strong attention of the onlookers. It must be said, sometimes words can indeed strike like arrows.

Xuan Zhi, realizing he was no match for Yun Xiao in a battle of words, finally came to this understanding, and with a cold snort, he quickly stepped forward, heading towards Yin Huan and Mo Qing.

Behind Yun Xiao, Cao Luo, upon noticing the former’s gaze shifting towards him, immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and with some difficulty, he forced a wry smile, chuckling, "Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!"

Cao Luo was adaptable, knowing that without Xuan Zhi to back him up, he himself was no match for Yun Xiao.

Even though the latter had suppressed his Ancestor Vein Power and recovered to the Peak of Meridian Introduction Realm Meridian Qi Cultivation, the impact of the battle they just had was overwhelmingly strong.

That didn’t mean Cao Luo would submit to Yun Xiao’s dominance. If an opportunity arose, he would still strike while the iron was hot; it’s just that such an opportunity did not exist at the moment.

Yun Xiao did not overstep, and after seeing that Xuan Zhi had already submitted his medicinal ingredients, only then did he casually step forward, and started to pull out various herbs and ingredients from within his chest.

"This guy, he doesn’t even have a Waist Storage?!"

Witnessing this scene, the bystanders murmured among themselves. Those who had come to participate in the Jade Pot Sect Outer Disciple examination were generally from well-known families, and although a Waist Storage was precious, it was no big deal for these families to equip their promising youth with one.

Thus, everyone present, except Yun Xiao, possessed a Waist Storage, making the action of the youth in coarse clothing taking out materials from his chest seem exceptionally odd. Was this the same person who had just made Xuan Zhi suffer a considerable loss?

Therefore, the onlookers speculated that Yun Xiao might not come from a prominent family, otherwise how could he not afford a Waist Storage?

Even Mo Qing of the Jade Pot Sect looked at him with curiosity while receiving the medicinal ingredients, finding the secrets surrounding this youth exceedingly plentiful.

"Wait!"

Who could have guessed, just as Yun Xiao was about to empty all the herbs from his chest, an inappropriately familiar voice suddenly came from an angle, causing everyone to be taken aback, and Mo Qing’s delicate hand to stiffen slightly.

"Xuan Zhi, what else do you have to say?"

When Mo Qing’s gaze shifted to the person speaking, her pretty face darkened because this person was none other than Xuan Zhi, the Third Prince of the Empire who had just fought fiercely with Yun Xiao.

In Mo Qing’s view, after she had personally spoken, Xuan Zhi’s untimely interruption was an act of disrespect. Did he really think that his status as the Third Prince of the Empire entitled him to create trouble at the Jade Pot Sect?

"Apologies, Senior Sister Mo Qing, I’m merely puzzled by one question!"

Xuan Zhi was well aware of Mo Qing’s intentions and immediately bowed with a fist in apology. This gesture eased Mo Qing’s expression a bit, before he went on to say, "Your Highness would like to inquire about your family lineage, sir. From what I know, in the entire Xuanyue Empire, there is no ’Yun’ family qualified to obtain an examination slot for the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Disciple."

Xuan Zhi had not thought of this point before, but just like the others, when he saw that Yun Xiao didn’t even have a Waist Storage, a lightbulb went off. He thought he might be able to use this reasoning to prevent Yun Xiao from joining the Jade Pot Sect.

As long as Yun Xiao could not join the Jade Pot Sect and lacked the protection of this powerful Sect, Xuan Zhi would naturally find it much easier to deal with Yun Xiao. Whether he acted personally or utilized the power of the Royal Family, the Jade Pot Sect would no longer intervene.

Xuan Zhi truly harbored a murderous intent towards Yun Xiao, and by now, he was prepared to use any means necessary.
