Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 59 Appearance
Half a month later, outside Fenglei Mountain, in front of Shabo Valley.

A giant arena stands in the open air. Although it was a product of a last-minute rush, it was still built in good condition by the Spirit Beast Engineering Team, and it is fully equipped with spectator stands.

At this time, a large number of spirit masters came from all directions and bought tickets to enter.

"Three thousand crystal coins per ticket?"

"Are you crazy because of poverty?"

"It's still the outer back seats. Do you have to pay extra for the front seats?"

"You guys really don't miss any opportunity to make money!"

Looking at the price of admission tickets, many people's faces turned dark.

However, the ticket seller had anticipated this and came straight to the point.

"This is a king-level battle, and even emperor-level spirit beasts will be involved. For spirit masters, this is a rare opportunity once in a century, and we can gain valuable combat experience. To ensure the safety of the audience, we have spent a lot of money to set up a protective spirit formation..."

"In summary, the ticket price of 3,000 crystal coins is completely reasonable. If guests find it unacceptable, they can go to the surrounding towns. We have set up a crystal spirit formation to broadcast the event in real time, and they can watch it live for only 100 crystal coins."

"You're so cruel, give me one!"

Looking at the ticket seller who was talking so much, everyone was helpless. Those who were short of money could only sigh and leave, but there were also many who suppressed their pain and took out their crystal coins to buy tickets to enter.

In this way, the stands on all sides were soon mostly filled, leaving only the central arena empty as the main performer had not yet appeared.

"Such a large venue and stands were built in just half a month, and a protective spiritual formation was even set up. The Sand Valley Spirit Beast Engineering Team is truly worthy of their reputation."

"A ticket costs three thousand crystal coins, and there's an extra fee for front-row seats. After deducting construction costs and various expenses, Sand Valley will make a net profit of at least tens of millions of crystal coins this time."

"Li Qingshan is truly a prodigy. He's proficient in everything from controlling spirits to fighting battles to managing businesses and developing businesses. He's proficient in everything. He's well-rounded and strong in every aspect. How could such a person exist in the world?"

"It's because he met the Dongfang family. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have unified the Fenglei Mountains in just a few years and established a kingdom."

"It's not too late now. Dongfang Bai certainly has a great chance of winning, but Li Qingshan dared to accept the challenge and even made a 30 billion crystal coin bet, which shows that he has some confidence."

"Strange, for such a big competition, there's no one offering betting?"

"Why are you opening a new market? Aren't the lessons learned from the past few years enough?"

"Needless to say, Shahu Valley has always banned gambling and prostitution. Other forces have left a psychological scar on Shahu Valley over the years, and they dare not open the market easily anymore."

"It's not that there aren't any. I heard that in Fenglei Town, the Lei family set up a gambling platform and raised the odds on Li Qingshan, hoping to reap some benefits. But I heard that Shahu Valley directly sent people to bet tens of millions of crystal coins."

"Based on these odds, if Li Qingshan defeats Dongfang Bai, the Lei family will probably go bankrupt."

There was a lot of discussion in the venue.

And off the court...

"Whirl!"

A team came slowly, with hundreds of armed men on the periphery, riding the same imperial knights, and in the center was a phoenix carriage pulled by four horses.

"coming!"

"Wind and Thunder Kingdom!"

"Dongfang Family!"

Seeing the frame, everyone's eyes fixed and they all moved away.

But some people were not afraid at all and started talking on both sides of the aisle.

"Is this the team from the Wind and Thunder Kingdom?"

"Are they going to challenge the Valley Master?"

"I thought they had superpowers!"

"I heard that their leader is the princess of the Wind and Thunder Kingdom, and there's also a Heavenly Fate Spirit Control Master who is said to be the savior of the previous generation of the Spirit Control Continent."

"Are they worthy enough to be a Heavenly Destiny Spirit Master?"

"He calls himself the savior of Yuling Continent. I think he is just a lackey of those nobles."

"They want to seize the Sand Valley and bring the Wind and Thunder Mountains back under their control."

"These nobles are even more greedy than the sand beasts. The sand beasts can be fed, but their desires can never be satisfied."

"We're all going to die anyway, so what's the difference between being killed by the dark beasts and being killed by them?"

"Of course. The dark beasts can make you feel better, but they may not."

"Running dog, get out!"

"What kind of guardian chapter is this? It's just a bunch of crap!"

People lined up in the street to talk, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally turned into verbal abuse.

"Um!?"

A spirit knight on the outskirts of the team had a sharp look in his eyes. He then spurred his horse out to the sides of the road, drew his sword, and pointed at an angry civilian, cursing, "How dare you, lowly person, slander His Excellency the Guardian Chapter?!"

After saying that, he was about to swing his sword and cut it down.

At this moment...

"boom!!!"

There was a loud bang, a flash of lightning, and a sharp arrow flew over, but was blocked by the knight.

"who is it?"

Although he blocked the sharp arrow, his anger did not subside at all. The knight shouted angrily and turned his horse's head to check the identity of the attacker.

But unexpectedly, the earth rumbled and a group of hundreds of cavalrymen rushed over, directly rushed into the field and surrounded them.

"alert!"

The scene instantly became chaotic, and the Dongfang family's Soul-Controlling Knights immediately launched a defense, forming a standoff with this team of cavalry.

The cavalry leader was a young man who looked a little immature.

He rode up to the front of the Dongfang family's formation and pointed at the knight who had just been about to swing his sword and kill someone: "How dare you kill someone in broad daylight?"

"Huh!?" The Dongfang family's cavalry captain's eyes glared. Just as he was about to argue, the knight rode out, "This lowly person insulted His Excellency, Guardian Zhang of the Heavenly Mandate Imperial Spirit Master. No matter which country on the Imperial Spirit Continent he's in, we have the right to punish him."

"Untouchable?"

The young man's eyes turned cold. "This is Shahu Valley. No one is a pariah, and you are no better than others. Who gave you the power to commit such a crime in public? You have violated the laws of Shahu Valley. Disarm immediately and submit to arrest, or I will kill you without mercy!"

After saying this, he raised his hand, and hundreds of cavalrymen followed suit, with their powerful bows and crossbows ready to fire.

"you……!"

The knight's eyes narrowed, filled with shock and anger, but he did not dare to act rashly.

At this stalemate...

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man walked out, riding his horse to the front of the battle.

"Little Lord!"

"Your Mightiness!"

Seeing him coming, all the cavalry guards bowed their heads.

Dongfang Bai said nothing as he rode his horse to the front of the battle formation. He looked at the stern-looking young man, the resentful gazes of the people around him, and his own guards who were in a difficult position. He frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said calmly, "This matter is indeed our fault. Chengming, disarm yourself and take responsibility for our mistake!"

"This……"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The knight's eyes narrowed, and there was some struggle in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed. He directly disarmed the spirit guard, dismounted, and came to the young man.

"..."

The young man didn't say anything immediately. He just looked at Dongfang Bai deeply, and then said, "Take him away!"

After saying this, he ordered his men to make way.

Dongfang Bai said nothing and rode his horse towards the venue.

This little episode caused the expressions of the spirit masters watching nearby to change.

"As expected of the young master of the Dongfang family."

"Li Qingshan's move was inferior."

"He wants to stir up public opinion and trigger a conflict between the Dongfang family, the Fenglei Kingdom, and the people of Shabo Valley."

"But Dongfang Bai didn't expect that he would directly order his personal guards to accept punishment, which was not what he wanted at all."

"It seems he doesn't have much confidence in Dongfang Bai at all. The 30 billion bet was just a bluff. He resorted to these tricks at the last minute. It's a last-ditch effort."

"Not only has he not embarrassed Dongfang Bai, but he has also shown his magnanimity. If he is defeated again, he will truly be left with nothing."

"Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, I thought you were a rare figure, but I didn't expect that in the end you would be..."

"Humph, how do you know this was Li Qingshan's idea, and not his men acting on their own?"

"I know that young man. He's Li Qingshan's direct disciple and the captain of the Ninth Guard of Shabo Valley. He has an impulsive personality, so it's only natural that he would do something like this."

"There are more than one such person in Shabo Valley. If Dongfang Bai can't defeat Li Qingshan with an absolute advantage, then governing this land will still be fraught with difficulties."

"Although we can suppress it bloodily, that will only give Li Qingshan the opportunity to make a comeback..."

The spirits whispered and discussed constantly.

At the same time, inside the venue.

"This Li Qingshan is nothing but that!"

Feng Qingming came to Dongfang Bai and said, "In the end, they still want to stir up public opinion. It seems that the 30 billion gambling money is also a bluff and a last-ditch effort."

Dongfang Bai shook his head, not agreeing with his lover's words, and just looked in the direction of the venue: "He... looks a bit like someone."

"one person?"

Feng Qingming was startled, but soon came to his senses and said tentatively: "You mean..."

"nothing."

Before she could finish her words, Dongfang Bai shook his head, suppressing her words. He chuckled and changed the subject: "Don't worry, no matter what means he uses, he can't change the outcome of this battle."

"Ok!"

Seeing his confident look, Feng Qingming nodded vigorously: "I believe you!"

"Wow!!!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of birds crying, resounding throughout the Fenglei Mountains, and huge shadows rushed in and entered the venue.

"The Wind and Thunder Eagle is here."

Dongfang Bai raised his head, a smile on his face, and joined hands with the person beside him: "Let's go!"

And so it went on for a moment.

In the venue, on the stage.

Looking around, there were crowds of people in all directions, and the shouts were like surging waves.

At the top of the stands, there were several giant figures, carrying the spiritual light of wind and thunder, overlooking the entire venue.

With no host or leader, Dongfang Bai, dressed in silver armor, came onto the stage and waited quietly under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Then, a figure came calmly, walked out of the dark passage, and gradually appeared in front of people.

"Um!?"

It was also at this moment that the usually calm Dongfang Bai's expression changed for the first time, and he even cried out in shock: "It's you!?"

Not only him, but also Feng Qingming in the back and several important figures of the Dongfang family were all horrified at this moment.

"Li Taiyi!?"
