The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 513 A Mighty Horse Leaving the World in the Dust

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by Qingxue, Wang Wu arrived at the bow of the spirit-catching ship. Here, the Cricket Dragon had already adjusted the three calamity sails, forming a space with a radius of five hundred miles, and it was possible to enter and exit from above, meaning that one could jump out of the spirit-catching ship to fight at any time.

Almost all 560 Taiyi masters from Frost Domain came to watch the show, since they were bored anyway.

Moreover, this competition was actually for the position of head of an outlying branch altar.

When can we disregard Frost-kun's words?
However, when everyone saw Shuangjun sitting there, pale-faced, with a sharp aura and an unapproachable demeanor, they basically understood that the more fierce he appeared, the more it showed that he was guilty.

Her injuries have not healed.

Looking at another Taiyi level 8 figure in the Frost Domain, who is also Frost Lord's father, everyone understands even better.

Is this a small matter?

Yes, it's just a small matter, just one spot, and it's not even the final result yet.

But it seems that Shuangjun's father was intentionally or unintentionally using this trivial matter to take back the power from Shuangjun...

It seems that Frost Lord has tacitly agreed.

When Wang Wu arrived, he looked at Shuang Jun from afar, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

Shuangjun seemed to sense his gaze as well, and immediately looked over. Her expression remained unchanged, and her gaze was sharp, piercing him painfully.

It feels like we've suddenly become strangers.

"I'm here!"

For some reason, Qingxue suddenly grabbed Wang Wu's hand and whispered something very gentle.

Wang Wu nodded, realizing he had lost his composure. He gently squeezed Qingxue's hand before flying to the center of the arena, where someone was already waiting—his competitor for the day.

However, it wasn't Xu Taiping, but a fifth-order Taiyi who used to follow Shuang Liuyun on the spirit-catching ship, whose name seemed to be Yang Juechen.

In a sense, the person the other party chose was very reliable.

Firstly, he is more suitable in terms of cultivation, has more experience and knowledge, and most importantly, he has made great contributions.

From any perspective, he seems to be more suitable than Wang Wu to be in charge of Longshou City.

After Wang Wu and Yang Juechen exchanged greetings, Shuang Jun's father spoke from afar, but not to everyone. He addressed Shuang Jun and the elders of Shuang Domain, including Shuang Jun's uncles, great-uncles, and so on.

"The journey is boring, so let's find something to do. One of these two has been stationed on the spirit-catching ship for 8000 years. He is outstanding in every aspect and is loyal to my Frost Clan and Frost Domain. I think he is more suitable to be appointed as the head of Dragon Head City."

"Of course, there is another person named Wang Wu. Although he is a bit young, he has made great contributions to our Frost Domain. It is said that he is skilled in the art of formations and also skilled in refining a certain mysterious elixir. He saved Feng Muhan's life in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. That is quite an achievement. As a result, Hongye admires him very much. When she was injured and went into seclusion some time ago, she appointed Wang Wu to temporarily assume the position of Lord of the Frost Domain. Now it seems that he has done a very good job."

"Therefore, even I am in a bit of a dilemma. So today, since everyone is here by chance, we cannot act arbitrarily and discourage the meritorious officials. So we can only resort to a competition. Elders and officials, do you have any different opinions?"

There was complete silence all around, so of course no one would have any objections, or even if they did, who would say anything?

Frost Lord hasn't said a word yet.

Perhaps Frost-kun tacitly agreed.

Just as Wang Wu thought so too, Shuang Jun suddenly coughed slightly, but not to speak; it seemed that his injury had flared up.

"Father, Mother, Elders, you shall decide this matter."

After saying that, he left.

Has her injury become that serious?
It doesn't look like he's faking it.

An eerie silence fell over the scene. Then Zhuang Bufei, Feng Muhan, and Qu Shenglian took their leave, citing the reason that they were there to protect Shuangjun.

But everyone knows that the rift between the two sides is widening because of this small, unexpected incident.

However, Wang Wu had a different opinion.

Frost Lord, is this a strategic retreat?
Or is she deliberately speeding things up? It feels like she has a grand scheme in mind.

"Now, the competition begins, and it is divided into two parts: the literary test and the martial test. In the literary test, you two can freely choose from array formation, alchemy, and the preparation of immortal talismans. The superiority of the finished product will be determined by the result. In the martial test, the two sides will engage in a friendly exchange, stopping when the opponent has made a point."

"The winner will be qualified to compete for the position of Dragon Head City's leader, while the loser will receive a Creation Jade Talisman as compensation."

"Do either of you have any objections?"

"I abstain!"

Wang Wu was straightforward and chose to give up, saying in one sentence, "It's meaningless, I don't want to put on a show for you."

Since the cracks have already formed, let's make them even more severe.

The entire arena fell silent once more. Frost Lord's father and the Frost Clan elders showed no change in expression, but a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly smiled and said, "Red Leaf's men are all loyal and righteous. Our lord's injuries have relapsed, and he is unwilling to fight. This is understandable. I hope my husband and the elders will not punish him."

Huh? Frost Lord's stepmother, Frost Flowing Cloud's biological mother?
"Good! Abstention is permitted! The injury to the red maple leaves certainly needs to be taken seriously!"

An elder of the Frost Clan nodded, and the atmosphere immediately eased. Frost Lord's father glanced at Wang Wu expressionlessly and nodded as well. He found this man repulsive and even had the urge to smash him flat. "You think you're worthy to be my daughter's follower?"
A mere Taiyi level one, does he think he doesn't know what his daughter is thinking? A strategic retreat, huh, how willful!
"And so it is decided, Yang Juechen, you will represent the Frost Domain and compete with the Black Domain for the position of Dragon Head City Chief!"

No sooner had Frost Lord's father finished speaking than a long laugh rang out from outside the spirit-catching ship. "Where is Frost Lord? This journey is long and quite boring. Why don't we settle the matter of who will be in charge of Dragon Head City? Send your men out to fight my men. The winner will be the in charge of Dragon Head City. Don't cry if you lose. Come on, let's not waste any more time."

Is he the Black Emperor of the Black Domain?

"Nonsense! When did the appointment of the branch leaders of the Hidden Origin Society become a matter of a competition? Is this something that can be decided by a competition? That's too hasty!"

Frost Lord's father was furious and took to the air without hesitation.

The Black Emperor of the Black Domain is only at the eighth level of the Taiyi realm. What is there for him to fear?

"Huh? Where is Shuangjun? You're her father who just advanced to the eighth level of Taiyi? Hahaha, brother, I advanced to the eighth level of Taiyi 100,000 years ago, while you only reached it 800 years ago. Guess if I didn't have to consider your daughter Shuangjun's feelings, would I have slapped you away!"

Black Emperor is quite humorous.

Frost Lord's father's face darkened, but he didn't back down. He immediately sneered, "Very well, then I would like to ask for your guidance!"

"Stop! The Hidden Origin Society forbids elders of the fifth rank and above from fighting each other in private. You couldn't possibly not know that, could you? Don't act rashly. Either your Frost Domain admits defeat and forfeits, or you fight my people. This is no joke. The Hidden Origin Elder Council has already agreed. Currently, only our two families are competing for the position of head of the Dragon Head City branch. Whoever wins will take the position. Frost Lord has also voted in favor. What, does your Frost Domain want to go against the Hidden Origin Elder Council?"

"Come on, come on, I'm in a hurry. Don't dawdle over such a small matter. Are you people of the Frost Domain so cowardly?"

The Black Emperor was very impatient. This matter was so simple, but what about Frost Lord?

Frost Lord isn't here, oh, I guess that makes sense.

At this moment, Frost Lord's father's face was ashen, and all the elders of the Frost family remained silent. Internally, they could refer to themselves as elders to Frost Lord and act arrogantly because of their age, but externally, they were asking for trouble.

The Frost Domain's current status was entirely due to the Frost Lord's efforts, and they themselves are well aware of this.

Of course, they weren't saying they wanted to deny it or sideline Shuangjun. She was injured, after all, and it's impossible not to feel sorry for any girl.

Hey!
They had such good intentions, but who understands?
"Yang Juechen, step forward to accept the challenge. Remember, stop when you've made your move! Black Emperor, what do you say?"

Frost Lord's father said in a deep voice, but he also felt that it was fortunate that he had pushed Yang Juechen out, otherwise, if that first-level Wang Wu had come, he would have been beaten to a pulp by the other side.
After all, Yang Juechen was a fifth-level Taiyi cultivator with rich combat experience.

"I can't guarantee that. I can only guarantee that no one will die. That's also the requirement of the Hidden Origin Elder Council. No one will die! If you agree, then fight. If you don't agree, then admit defeat. It's that simple. That's how we've always made decisions."

The Black Emperor beckoned to the rear, and an ordinary-looking fifth-order Taiyi jumped out. At this moment, both sides' spirit-capturing ships slowly stopped and set up temporary battle markers within a radius of 100,000 miles to remind passing spirit-capturing ships not to collide with them. Of course, they could also watch the battle and join in the fun.

How could Frost Lord's father not know these things?

But he was still a little annoyed; the whole thing was just too coincidental.

However, on the other hand, he only put forward Yang Juechen three days ago, and Shuangjun had already boarded the ship at that time. This means that she had already voted in the Yinyuan Elder Council three years ago. Such a trivial matter is not worth using the veto power.

In short, that seems to be the case.

There's nothing we can do then; let's see how strong each side is.

Frost Lord's father glanced at Yang Juechen, who was, after all, a Taiyi fifth-level cultivator nurtured by the Frost family.

"Please rest assured, Master, I will fight to the death!"

Yang Juechen is quite spirited. Just kidding, he is a seasoned Taiyi level 5 expert who has seen many storms. His opponent is also a Taiyi level 5 expert, so the outcome is evenly split between them.

Let's fight!
"Alright! Zhuang Dayou, go into battle. Remember, you must not take anyone's life!"

The Black Emperor lazily gave an order and tossed a golden token into the air, which had a countdown timer on it.

Both sides then left the stage, leaving only Zhuang Dayou and Yang Juechen.

When the ten-second countdown ended, both sides attacked simultaneously. In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, with ghosts howling and wolves howling. The fifth-level Taiyi cultivators were attacking with all their might, and the commotion was enormous.

Both sides' spirit-capturing ships had retreated more than 100,000 miles away, but the enormous impact could still be felt!

Wang Wu, holding Qingxue's hand, watched the commotion from the crowd, shouting and cheering excitedly... He was so glad he was watching the excitement.

"Wow! This Zhuang Dayou is incredibly powerful, terrifyingly so. His move is like a celestial horse galloping freely, like a gazelle hanging its horns. Wow, Fellow Daoist Yang Juechen's counterattack is also quite brilliant. Wow, his mastery of Daoist techniques and supernatural powers is clearly superb and flawless. I know I can't beat him."

"Look at them, their escape techniques are so powerful yet agile. If I were on the field, I'd probably be in trouble. I'm impressed!"

Wang Wu was overjoyed. Qingxue didn't say anything, occasionally glancing at both sides of the battlefield. The rest of the time, she quietly watched him ramble on and on, but she seemed to be listening with great interest!

After about half a cup of tea's time had passed, Yang Juechen was ultimately outmatched and was struck by Zhuang Dayou's ultimate move, which severed his two legs, one arm, and destroyed most of his immortal body. Wang Wu was still there, providing commentary on the evenly matched battle.

Qingxue finally couldn't help but gently hit him.
"Stop talking nonsense. Taking advantage of someone's misfortune and gloating over their misfortune is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"Ah, the situation has reversed so quickly, it's truly beyond my expectations. Is Fellow Daoist Juechen in any danger?"

"It's not life-threatening, just a minor injury."

Qingxue spoke casually.

The Immortal Body of Creation was almost destroyed, and you're telling me it's just a minor injury?
Wang Wu gave her a strange look. We really are a match made in heaven.
