Chapter 329
Xue Ziye, Murong Daren, Huo Zhong and Hou Xingfeng were already seated at the same table. They were waving at Qin Yun and company.
“Come, let’s go to that table!” Lan Fengjin said.
Qin Yun’s appearance caused quite a stir but it did not take long to calm down.
After Lan Fengjin and the others sat down, they saw Palace Head Yang of the Western Palace and a few middle-aged elders walking in, talking and laughing.
The people of the Yang family dressed happily and smiled happily.
“Senior Lan, what’s the situation with Yue Lan?” Qin Yun asked.
“She has stabilized. It’s a good thing that with the assistance of the Tranquil Heart Pill and the Grand Palace Master, her condition has stabilized. In the future, it will not affect her at all!” Lan Huanyu said.
Qin Yun was relieved. Due to the incident with Xiao Yuelan, he had been feeling uneasy for the past few days.
“The Grand Palace Master isn’t here?” Murong Daren looked around and said in a low voice, “This is a grand matter. The Head Palace Master just came out of seclusion. I thought he would come!”
Lan Huayu said with a smile, “He likes peace and quiet, so he rarely participates in this kind of thing! He probably doesn’t know now and I didn’t tell him before!” (TL NOTE : yeah good job not telling that his saint palace’s disciple is being coerced into marriage by west palace.)
“He might have to clean up the Blue Spirit Star Palace after a while.”
The situation at the Blue Spirit Star Palace was indeed very dire.
The interior was a mess, especially for some disciples and elders. Their hands and feet were dirty and their actions were extremely extreme.
In the big square of the West Palace, there were more and more people.
Old Tan had also come to Qin Yun’s table. As for Wu Xian, he was in his room, studying the medicinal liquid.
“The bride and groom have appeared!” Someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone immediately looked at the red carpet covered road, only to see Xiao Yanglong dressed in a gorgeous red robe, his face filled with arrogance, his head raised and chest puffed up, his face filled with a pleased smile.
Beside him was Yang Shiyue, who was wearing a gorgeous red dress. Her face was covered by the red veil and with slow steps, she slowly walked to the center of the stage with Xiao Yanglong.
Zhuo Chuan and Lan Huayu looked at each other, feeling slightly nervous.
They were worried that Qin Yun would suddenly do something.
“Brother Yun!” Xie Wufeng saw Qin Yun sitting there quietly and shouted in a low voice.
Lan Fengjin was extremely certain that Qin Yun would challenge Xiao Yanglong today!
He could only hope that Qin Yun could defeat Xiao Yanglong!
The Yang family, the few elders of the Tian Xiao Empire, as well as the West Palace Master and a few other elders were all standing on the red carpet on the battling platform.
Their faces were all smiles as they watched Xiao Yanglong and Yang Shiyue walk up.
Especially the Yang Family, they were laughing the happiest!
“Thank you very much, all heroes, for coming to my Western Palace to participate in my beloved disciple Xiao Yanglong’s wedding feast!” Palace Head Yang of the West Palace laughed loudly.
Xiao Yanglong and Yang Shiyue had already stepped onto the stage and everyone stood up.
“Groom, please say a few words!” Palace Head Yang said with a smile.
Xiao Yanglong raised his eyebrows with an arrogant expression as he scanned the crowd. He also saw Qin Yun but he remained seated and did not stand up.
When he saw how Qin Yun looked like he had lost his soul, he felt extremely delighted. He then said a few polite words.
“Let’s begin our ritual!” A blue robed old man smiled and said loudly.
Just as the elder finished speaking, Qin Yun suddenly stood up and walked out of his spot!
He stepped onto the red carpet and ascended the battling platform.
Everyone was looking at him.
At the same time that many people were astonished, they were also secretly delighted in their hearts. The thing that they had been hoping for was finally going to happen.
Indeed, Qin Yun could not sit still!
Zhuo Chuan and company had wanted to stop Qin Yun but when they saw his resolute expression, they had no choice but to let him go.
Xiao Yanglong was not surprised to see Qin Yun walk over. In fact, he was looking forward to it. His face revealed a proud sneer.
“Xiao Yanglong, you said that as long as I am in the Western Palace, I can challenge you at any time.”
“If I defeat you, I will become the head disciple of the Western Palace, right?” Qin Yun said slowly with an expressionless face.
Yang Shiyue had sensed Qin Yun’s aura earlier but when she heard Qin Yun’s voice, her body involuntarily trembled.
She had originally thought that Qin Yun would listen to her advice and not cause trouble here. However, he had still come!
Palace Head Yang of the West Palace and a few elders of the Yang family seemed to be very happy.
They were looking at each other with a joyous smile on their faces.
Xiao Yanglong smiled, “That’s right, you can challenge me right now! I can accept the challenge at any time! I am a man of promise. If you challenge me, I will accept the challenge immediately. I won’t let you wait for long. I’ll finish fighting fast, so I’ll continue to pay respects!”
Qin Yun had challenged Xiao Yanglong in advance, especially when they were paying their respects. This made many people secretly rejoice.
After all, it was rather boring for them to watch a wedding.
“Qin Yun, you are only at the ninth level Martial Body realm. Stop fooling around and get down! They are in the middle of paying respects!” someone shouted.
“When you step into the Martial Dao Realm, then you can come challenge Xiao Yanglong. That’s something to look forward to! You are very strong and you are invincible in the Martial Body realm. However, when you face a cultivator of the Martial Dao Realm, you are still too lacking! Don’t block their way!”
“Qin Yun, are you planning to defeat Xiao Yanglong and marry Yang Shiyue in his place?”
“Hahaha... Has your wife Xiao Yuelan agreed? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be jealous if you do this? I heard she’s tyrannical!”
There were always those who were not afraid of getting into trouble, especially after a few more drinks.
There was a roar of laughter from below but Qin Yun was not angry at all!
Yang Shiyue lifted her veil and looked at Qin Yun. She said, “Qin Yun, quickly get down! Once you step into the Martial Dao Realm, you will have a chance to win if you go challenge him!”
“Teacher, you are dismissed!” Qin Yun whispered, “I can defeat him!”
Lan Fengjin and Xue Ziye also hurriedly walked up and accompanied Yang Shiyue down the battling platform.
Lan Huayu took out many pillars and placed them around the dueling platform. He could not persuade Qin Yun, so he could only ensure that no one else would interfere in the battle.
Yang Shiyue stood beneath the battling platform. As she watched Qin Yun’s magnanimous back, she felt mixed emotions. Her heart was filled with worry!
A few days earlier, Qin Yun and Ji Kailin had nearly lost their lives.
At the time, she had been grieving.
And right now, Qin Yun’s opponent was the martial dao realm Xiao Yanglong.
Ninth level Martial Body realm, to compete in martial arts with bare hands, it was simply impossible to win. This was an irrefutable fact; no one could subvert this common sense!
And now, no matter who it was, they felt that Qin Yun’s chances of victory were slim!
Lan Fengjin, Xie Wufeng and the rest of Qin Yun’s friends only had a glimmer of hope that Qin Yun might win.
As for the others, they believed that Qin Yun would definitely lose!
Array pillars had been set up on the battling platform, so that during the match, they wouldn’t affect anyone below the stage.
Palace Chief Yang from the Western Palace chuckled and said, “Qin Yun, your courage is commendable. Furthermore, to challenge the chief disciple at such a time and liven up the atmosphere, we have to thank you for that!”
Who didn’t know of Qin Yun’s great name?
If he lost miserably to Xiao Yanglong at this moment, then it would undoubtedly allow Xiao Yanglong’s reputation to reach its peak.
Furthermore, Xiao Yanglong deeply hated Qin Yun!
If he could get rid of Qin Yun here and marry Yang Shi Yue, it would be a joyous occasion for him.
“Wait for Xiao Yanglong to defeat me, then you can say those words!” Qin Yun smiled. “If he loses to me, that would be embarrassing!”
“Hahaha... Qin Yun, you sure know how to make jokes!” Palace Head Yang laughed and many people followed suit.
An elder from the Yang family said with a sneer, “Qin Yun, you can’t use a spirit talismans or spirit artifacts in such a competition. Is the confidence you’ve brought enough for His Highness the crown prince to temporarily take you seriously?”
Palace Head Yang laughed and said, “Fine, since it’s the wedding day, I’ll take out some winnings! In a match between the two of you, as long as you win, you will be able to obtain one of the few Xuan Artifacts of the Western Palace, the Blue Spirit Profound Robe!”
The disciples of Blue Spirit Star Palace suddenly let out cries of envy.
Every Blue Spirit Palace had their own strong spirit artifacts.
And the Western Palace’s best profound artifact, was the Blue Spirit Profound Robe.
When Palace Master Yang took it out as a reward, it was obvious that he placed great importance on Xiao Yanglong.
Xiao Yanglong was the chief disciple and at such a young age, he was already at the Martial Dao Realm. (TL NOTE : young age? really??)
His style of doing things was appreciated by Palace Head Yang and he was seen as the future Palace Master of the West Palace!
Qin Yun smiled. “Palace Chief Yang is truly generous! Since that’s the case, then I will take out something to add some liveliness to this martial arts competition!”
He took out a bottle and two pieces of paper, then passed them to Lan Huanyu and said, “Elder Lan, these are the Sun Flame Liquid, Star Mark and Xuan Artifact blueprints! If I lose, you just have to give these things to Xiao Yanglong!”
When Lan Huayu heard this, he was immediately stunned!
Palace Master Yang, Xiao Yanglong and a few elders from the Yang Family were all looking at Qin Yun in shock!
The plaza of the Western Palace was suddenly enveloped in an uproar!
With his cultivation base at the ninth level Martial Body realm, Qin Yun challenged Xiao Yanglong, who was at the Martial Dao Realm. Furthermore, he took out so many good things as rewards to Xiao Yanglong, who was about to beat him!
“Is Qin Yun insane?”
“That’s a good thing he got from participating in the tournament! He actually want to give it up to someone else!”
“Does he have the confidence to win?”
“It looks like he thinks he already won!”
Everyone was alarmed and could not understand what Qin Yun was doing.
“What are you thinking, Brother Yun?” Murong Daren said in a low voice.
Huo Zhong said, “Brother Yun is confident in his victory. We’ll just watch!”
Yang Shiyue looked at Lan Fengjin because Qin Yun had spent the past few days with her.
Lan Fengjin shook her head, “He has not stepped into the Martial Dao. With his dual core cultivation, it is impossible for him to break through so quickly!”
Qin Yun looked at Xiao Yanglong and calmly said, “We can begin now!”
After Xiao Yanglong recovered from his shock, he laughed, “Since you have already taken out such a generous reward, I naturally have to express my gratitude as well!”
After saying that, he took out a small bronze bowl.
The small bowl looked extremely ancient and rather old. However, Qin Yun could tell at a glance that the inscriptions on it were extremely profound.
Xiao Yanglong laughed proudly, “This is the Tian Xiao Empire’s most precious heirloom, the Sun Moon Profound Bowl! Although it is severely damaged, it is still a very powerful profound artifact. It can gather the essence of the sun and moon and speed up the growth of medicinal ingredients.”
