“Then what are you talking about? Go back and tell your Hundred Clans Alliance to wash their necks clean.
“Lwill bring people over tomorrow and destroy your strongholds one by one. At the same time, I will chop off your heads.”
‘The two messengers laughed.
“Young Master Ling, why are you so hot-tempered? Since we are here to ask for peace, we are definitely here with sincerity.
“although this star area doesn’t have a clear definition on who does it belong to. “However, we’re willing to admit that those star areas were indeed occupied by your Xuan Yuan clan.
“But… After all, they’re the disciples of our Hundred Clans Alliance and we sacrificed our blood to fight for them.
“If we give them to your Xuan Yuan clan just like that, it’s inevitable that we’ll be laughed at by the other god clans in the starry sky.
“Therefore, the Hundred Clans Alliance had thought of a solution.
“We knew that the Xuan Yuan clan’s strongest martial arts experts in the Azure Billow star field were at the seventh level of the Godslayer realm. Therefore, we had sent a seventh-level Godslayer to fight them.
“If you win, not only will we return the star areas to you, but we will also compensate you for your loss.
“If we win, those star areas will be ours. Moreover, the Xuan Yuan clan can’t continue to find trouble with us.
“What do you think?”
Hearing that, all the members of the Xuan Yuan clan in the hall could not help but feel surprised.
Although they all had the same realm, their Xuan Yuan clan was stronger.
‘That was because the cultivation techniques the Xuan Yuan clan cultivated were slightly stronger than theirs.
Therefore, from that point of view, it was basically impossible for the other party to defeat them.
However, the people from the Hundred Clans Alliance were definitely not fools.
They could not possibly fight a match that was impossible to win and then give away the territory that they had obtained with great difficulty, right?
There must be something fishy going on there.
Ning Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and then said,
“Who is your Hundred Clans Alliance going to send out?”
One of the envoys chuckled and said,
“Young Master Ning, the martial arts master that our Hundred Clans Alliance is going to send out is Nangong Chenming!”
Hearing that name, Ning Zhiyuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He felt that he had heard of that name before, but he could not recall who it was.
A moment later, Song Qingxue could not help but exclaim,
“Nangong Chenming, could it be the Earth Dragon clan’s Nangong Chenming?”
The envoys smiled again,
“As expected of Young Master Song. He’s experienced and knowledgeable. He immediately told us about Senior Nangong’s background. That’s right, Senior Nangong is the Earth Dragon clan’s martial arts master.”
Song Qingxue’s expression froze.
“No wonder you dared to challenge us! So you’re that confident because he is on your side?”
Ling Shaoyu could not help but ask,
“Qingxue, who is Nangong Chenming?”
Song Qingxue explained,
“Nangong Chenming is a martial arts master of the Earth Dragon clan, the 141st god clan in the starry sky.
“It’s said that the Earth Dragon clan has some connection with the number one god race in the starry sky, the dragon race.
“Their ancestors obtained a trace of the dragon race’s great sage’s blood essence and evolved into the Earth Dragon clan.
“Their clan’s ranking is relatively low, so under normal circumstances, people don’t understand their situation.
“However, in reality, these lower-ranked clans more or less have some amazing geniuses.
“Nangong Chenming is one of them.
“[heard that he was lucky enough to obtain the nine-star god technique left behind by the ancestors of the Earth Dragon clan. It was a god technique that was infinitely close to an archaic masterpiece technique.
“With the help of the nine-star god technique, he stepped into the seventh level of the Godslayer realm in just over 160 years.”
Hearing Song Qingxue’s explanation, everyone could not help but be slightly shocked.
To advance to the seventh level of the Godslayer realm in 160 years was actually not bad.
‘As a comparison, Ning Zhiyuan’s father was only at the sixth level of the Godslayer realm in his 120s.
What he cultivated was not an archaic masterpiece technique, but a peak nine-star god technique that was comparable to one.
Although it was true that Ning Zhiyuan’s father was slightly stronger than his father in that sense, in reality, the resources of the Earth Dragon clan that he belonged to definitely could not compare to Ning Zhiyuan’s father.
‘The Earth Dragon clan did not even have a Godly Emperor, and the strongest was only a Godly King. As a whole, they could not be compared to the Xuan Yuan clan.
However, one had to know that Ning Zhiyuan’s father was the head of the Ning family, and the Ning family was one of the few lineal families of the Xuan Yuan clan.
Therefore, from that point of view, the other party’s aptitude was not much inferior to Ning Zhiyuan’s father.
Zheng Fenghua could not help but open her mouth to ask in puzzlement,
“He does seem to have a good aptitude. However, there’s nothing too eye-catching about him, right?
“How could the Hundred Clans Alliance send such a guy out? Are you sure that they don’t actually want to return our star field to us?”
Song Qingxue shook her head again, her face solemn as she said,
“Don’t look at his cultivation base as only at the seventh level of the Godslayer realm. The strongest thing about him is that he has cultivated that nine-star god technique.
“It’s just like how the cultivation techniques that our Xuan Yuan clan cultivates are generally higher than those of the Hundred Clans Alliance. That’s why martial arts experts in the same realm as us have the ability to easily defeat our opponents.
“And he also has this ability. It can even be said that he’s even better than us.
“That nine-star god technique of his is already infinitely close to an archaic masterpiece technique.
“Up until now, he has challenged countless opponents, and each time he challenged an opponent with the same cultivation as him.
“According to statistics, he has challenged more than 100,000 people in his lifetime!
“He has been challenging since he was at the Emperor realm, all the way until he reached the seventh level of the Godslayer realm, and… He hasn’t lost a single time!”
‘When he said that, everyone’s faces could not help but freeze.
They did not expect the other party to be so powerful. That truly surprised them.
“I did not expect this person to have such powerful methods.”
“It seems that he still has some skills.”
The two envoys smiled.
“The plan proposed by our Hundred Clans Alliance is for the sake of both of us.
“This way, everyone would not have to fight so fiercely, and many fewer people would die.
“Of course, if the Xuan Yuan clan members have any misgivings, and if they aren’t willing, we can only go back and report the truth and wait for the Xuan Yuan clan to attack us.”
‘When those words were said, the expressions of all the people from the Xuan Yuan clan froze.
It was true that they were afraid of Nangong Chenming.
They also knew that they were trying to provoke them.
However, they could not just ignore him like that.
It was because they were the 19th Xuan Yuan clan in the starry sky!
They had their own dignity!
If they did not even dare to accept a challenge from an ant, would they not become the laughingstock of the entire starry sky?
A god clan at their level really could not afford to lose face like that.
Once that kind of dark history stuck to them, they would not be able to shake it off for a long time.
At the thought of that, an elder of the Zheng family at the seventh level of the Godslayer realm suddenly said,
“Okay! We accept this challenge.
“However, don’t forget the agreement you just mentioned… If you lose…”
“Don’t worry, Elder! Our Hundred Clans Alliance isn’t that shameless. If we lose, we will return all the remaining star areas with our bare hands!
“Apart from that, we will also give you a certain amount of compensation.”
“When will the battle be held?
“Where will the battle be held?”
“The battle will be held in three days. The location will be in Jianghai city. Since we are here to challenge, we will do as we please.”
The people of the Hundred Clans Alliance did not have to worry about the Xuan Yuan clan threatening their safety.
If an existence at their level would do such a thing, then they would be on par with these scoundrels.
The high-level gods had their own pride and dignity.
They would definitely not do anything that would lose their dignity.
“Good! Then go back and prepare. In three days, we’ll fight there!”
“Good! Old Seniors, Young Masters, Seniors, the two of us will take our leave first. We’ll go back and report to our superiors. Farewell.”
‘As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them left the Ning family estate as fast as they could.
Ning Zhiyuan could not help but frown,
“Senior Zheng, I know that you are very powerful, but aren’t you being a little rash?
“That Nangong Chenming isn’t simple! If we lose, we won’t be able to get those star areas back.
“We are the great Xuan Yuan clan. We can’t go back on our words and do something shameless, right?”
“Hehehe.
That old elder of the Zheng family laughed and said,
“Young Lord Ning, you don’t have to worry too much. Although the nine-star god techniques he cultivates is indeed a very good cultivation technique.
“It isn’t an archaic masterpiece technique after all!
“As long as it isn’t a technique of that level, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Ning Zhiyuan sighed deeply.
“Since Senior Zheng has such confidence, it’s naturally the best option.”
Song Qingxue sighed slightly.
“Senior Zheng, actually you were a bit rash just now. Did you know? That Nangong Chenming didn’t just defeat more than 100,000 people.
“Every time he raises his cultivation base, the martial arts experts he challenges will gradually increase in strength.
“If [remember correctly when his strength reached the seventh level of the Godslayer realm, he challenged Yun Dong Cheng, who was only one rank lower than our Xuan Yuan clan and was also at the seventh level of the Godslayer realm.
“I think I don’t need to say much about Yun Dong Cheng’s aptitude and combat methods. Everyone here should have a deep understanding.”
“What? He actually defeated Yun Dong Cheng before?”
After hearing those words, the expressions of several seventh-level Godslayer masters instantly changed, and they became somewhat unsightly.
