C1090 I'll Do It
Although the atmosphere around the Stairway of Dao was still quite noisy, an expert like Yin Huan still noticed Nalan Mingyue at once.
One reason was that after he reached such a high level, he was quite good at sensing things.
The other reason was because of Nalan Yanran.
After all, Nalan Yanran's great strength and great reputation had spread all over the entire Grand Middle Heaven. This caused Nalan Yanran to not have many cultivators surrounding her. Coincidentally, Nalan Yanran was beside Nalan Yanran. Naturally, Yin Huan noticed Nalan Mingyue at the first moment.
"Nalan Yanran."
However, although Yin Huan had discovered Nalan Mingyue at the first moment, his gaze did land on Nalan Yanran.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran also noticed that there was something wrong with Nalan Mingyue's earlier words. Her brows were slightly knit together, but she ultimately did not lose her composure.
"Little girl, what did you say just now? I really don't think that I heard it clearly."
Yin Huan looked at Nalan Mingyue and spoke with a smile. His tone was very gentle, but all the cultivators around the Dao Confirming Stairs who knew something about the silver ring couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end. Those who knew something about the silver ring couldn't help but change their expressions at this moment.
None of them could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind the silver ring's words.
Nalan Mingyue hid behind Nalan Yanran. This was especially the case when Yin Huan said those words earlier. He did not do anything.
As Nalan Yanran's younger sister, Nalan Mingyue naturally knew just how strong Yin Huan was. She knew just how frightening Yin Huan's strength and alcohol were.
Originally, he had only casually said a few words, but he didn't expect Yin Huan to hear it.
"You little girl. I just asked you a question. Why didn't you hear me?"
Yin Huan looked at Nalan Mingyue with a smile and spoke gently.
However, when he said those words, the blood within his body started to surge, giving off an invisible pressure.
The people who had been standing around them, as well as the cultivators who were standing between the two of them, all stepped aside at this moment. They could feel that there was going to be a fight coming up.
Both the people from the Silver Ring and Nalan Mingyue's side were geniuses. Normal cultivators like them had to move aside if they did not want to be involved.
"Yin Huan, my sister is very young. I apologize on his behalf."
At this moment, as Nalan Mingyue's elder sister, Nalan Yanran obviously wouldn't sit and wait for death.
She suddenly moved her body and completely blocked Nalan Mingyue's body behind her.
Yin Huan's eyes involuntarily narrowed at this moment.
However, at this moment.
"Hehe, Nalan Mingyue, you look pretty talented. You're so young, yet you're already a Half-Step Saint."
A playful voice sounded from the crowd.
Hearing these words, both Yin Huan and Nalan Yanran hurriedly turned their heads. They managed to see a human figure walking over in time. The person leading the group was the Princess of the Huo Country.
"Huo Country, what do you mean by this?"
Nalan Yanran frowned. Her expression was a little uncertain. She felt that it was definitely not a good thing for Huo Jun to come over at this moment. Could it be that this kind of thing was something that even Huo Jun, this little girl, had to participate in?
Huo Jun laughed coldly, "What meaning can I have?"
"How does your little sister train? Don't you know that trouble comes from one's mouth?"
As she spoke, her gaze shot towards Nalan Mingyue. Then, the playful expression on her face instantly became laughable.
Nalan Mingyue stayed behind Nalan Yanran and did not say anything.
When she was at the easternmost part of the city, she was able to rely on her clan and Nalan Yanran to support her. Naturally, she did not feel any fear. However, now that she had arrived at the Orthodox Dao Mountain Villa, any genius in the place where these geniuses gathered was not someone she could offend.
"Huo Jun, this matter is not something that you can investigate!"
At this moment, Nalan Yanran also coldly opened her mouth and spoke. This Huo Jun was clearly adding insult to injury.
"Hmph, I just happen to want to intervene in this matter."
Huo Jun sneered and said. Then he turned to look at Yin Huan and said, "Yin Huan, people are calling you an idiot and a pervert. Don't you feel anything?"
Yin Huan's face turned dark. The softness on his face disappeared at this moment.
Huo Jun laughed. He had seen the change in Yin Huan's expression at this moment. Immediately, he laughed softly, "Yin Huan, seeing that we are acquainted, if you wish to attack, I can help you block Nalan Yanran."
"Huo Jun!"
Nalan Yanran angrily opened her mouth and spoke.
"Yin Huan, what do you think of this suggestion? Do you want to cooperate?"
Huo Jun ignored Nalan Yanran. His gaze merely landed on Yin Huan.
Yin Huan was silent.
Her gaze first swept over Nalan Yanran and Huo Jun. It could be bluntly said that this pretty lady was definitely the most outstanding two ladies under the Saint level in the entire Grand Middle Sky.
Moreover, the strength of both of them was not weak. Even though he, Yin Huan, was also a genius, he did not wish to offend either of them while facing the two girls.
"Nalan Yanran, on account of your face, I can let bygones be bygones."
Yin Huan opened his mouth and said.
When she heard these words, Nalan Yanran's heart involuntarily sighed in relief. However, contrary to Nalan Yanran's side, indeed, when she heard these words, it was Huo Jun's expression that involuntarily changed. Her eyebrows could not help but change slightly at this moment.
Wasn't it a waste of her breath to think of him as a coward and not pursue the matter?
"But..."
Just when the two ladies thought Yin Huan wouldn't pursue the matter, Yin Huan spoke again.
"Your sister seems to have no respect for her elders. If I don't pursue this matter, I'm afraid I will become a laughing stock in the future."
"I will not make things difficult for your sister. Let her lend me a hand, and I can assure you that I will use less than half of my strength, but such a lesson is inevitable."
After these words appeared, the expressions of both Nalan Yanran and Huo Jun by the side changed.
A coldness appeared on Huo Jun's face. On the other hand, Nalan Yanran by the side could not help but frown.
One must know that with Yin Huan's strength, he could be considered the strongest half-Saint in the entire Grand Middle Sky.
Although Nalan Mingyue's cultivation wasn't weak, and she was also at the half-step Saint level, she was still a half-step Saint. Compared to this old half-step Saint, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"Yin Huan, I'll take this move for my sister."
Nalan Yanran suddenly said.
Yin Huan's eyebrows were raised at this moment. He did not expect Nalan Yanran to reply in such a manner.
"Elder sister, he has also said that he will only use less than five percent of his strength. Let me do it!"
Behind Nalan Yanran, Nalan Mingyue suddenly opened her mouth and hurriedly spoke, stopping Nalan Yanran's next action.
All the surrounding cultivators were watching this scene with great interest.
[Is the Dao Verification Assembly going to start before it begins?]
One must know that the Dao Verification Assembly was about to begin. As long as they, the young geniuses, could directly climb up the Dao Verification Stairway, the Dao Verification Assembly would truly begin.
Now, if Nalan Yanran was allowed to take the initiative and endure a blow from the silver ring without retaliating, even if Nalan Yanran appeared to be fine on the surface, she would definitely have a small influence on her ranking in the subsequent Dao Confirming Meeting.
"Ke ke, looks like I have underestimated the deep relationship between you two sisters."
Huo Jun, who was standing beside them, frowned at this moment. A faint smile came out from his mouth. He seemed extremely excited.
She and Nalan Yanran were originally enemies. She was naturally extremely happy when she saw this scene.
"Hmph, Yin Huan, if you want to attack, hurry up and attack. Don't be so garrulous and act like a woman."
At this moment, Nalan Yanran looked at Yin Huan and took a step forward. An aura surged from his body when he spoke these words. It was also extremely powerful. Clearly, he was also preparing to endure one of Yin Huan's attacks.
Yin Huan looked at Nalan Yanran. Thoughts repeatedly rotated in his heart. With his strength, he was naturally no match for Nalan Yanran. However, now that he had such a good opportunity, if he was able to injure Nalan Yanran in this place, he would definitely be able to increase his ranking a little, even though it would not allow him to obtain first place on the Dao Confirming Stairs.
"Well, since you can't wait, I'll do as you wish."
At this moment, Yin Huan didn't hesitate. She spoke with a smile. However, at this moment...
"Let me take the hit from you this time."
A human figure could be seen walking out from behind Nalan Yanran. At the same time, a calm voice was emitted when he walked out. This human figure was none other than Ling Jian.
At this moment, Ling Jian's action could be said to have exceeded the expectations of everyone present.
People were all looking at Ling Jian at the moment. They acted like they were looking at a weird creature.
As cultivators of the Grand Middle Heaven, they were well aware of the young geniuses of the Grand Middle Heaven. However, Ling Jian, who was not a cultivator of the Grand Middle Heaven, gave them a completely unfamiliar feeling.
None of them had expected a stranger to be so bold as to take a single blow from the silver ring.
"Hmm? Who's this person with alcohol? He's only at the late stages of the Heavenly Retribution Realm. I didn't think he would dare to come out."
"Late stages of the Heavenly Punishment Realm? Is he crazy? Under normal circumstances, he might not be a match for Yin Huan, let alone under such circumstances. If he doesn't fight back, he might be killed by Yin Huan."
"Just who is this person? From the looks of it, he should be one of Nalan Yanran's suitors, right?"
"Did you say something wrong? I think he should be Nalan Mingyue's pursuer. Although this kid looks good, he is far from being able to pursue Nalan Yanran. He should be Nalan Mingyue's pursuer."
"It should be. Although Nalan Mingyue's cultivation is inferior to his sister's, her talent and appearance are not bad at all."
"However, even if it is Nalan Yanran's pursuer, this young man is really too crazy. He looks to be less than fifty or sixty years old. To be able to reach the late stage of the Heavenly Zhu Stage at such a young age, he must be a real genius. What a shame that he has to do something like this. I am afraid he won't have a future."
"That's right. That's right. Does he really think that Yin Huan won't dare to kill him?"
"Hehe. If it really was Nalan Mingyue standing there, Yin Huan wouldn't be able to kill her no matter how good the reason is. However, if it was this young man in front of him, Yin Huan wouldn't have any concerns."
"That's right. It seems the Dao Verification Assembly is going to be a bloodbath before it even begins."
...
The cultivators around them started to gloat, especially when they found out Ling Jian's true cultivation level. They were all surprised.
A cultivator in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage was definitely a rare creature in this place where geniuses gathered.
After all, those who were able to come to the Hall of Dao Verification, even those who couldn't climb the Stairway of Dao, were not weak. Those who were in the late stages of the Heavenly Judgment Stage were far from those who could climb the Stairway of Dao Verification.
"Ling Jian, what are you doing?"
After seeing Ling Jian appear, Nalan Mingyue was slightly stunned. Her eyes were filled with astonishment and the expression on her face instantly turned pale.
She never thought that Ling Jian would actually stand out under such circumstances.
Of course, she was surprised by this scene. However, in Nalan Mingyue's heart, she didn't know why, but because of Ling Jian's sudden appearance, she felt a trace of warmth in the deepest part of her heart.
She was touched.
After all, among all the cultivators who had followed them to the Hall of Dao Verification, Ling Jian was indeed the first one to help him, except for her sister, Nalan Yanran.
"Ling Jian, who let you out? Go back!"
At this moment, Nalan Yanran also let out an angry cry. She was extremely angry.
Of course, the reason she was angry was not because she did not like Ling Jian. Instead, she felt that Ling Jian was too impulsive when he went out at this moment.
After all, Yin Huan was not an ordinary figure. She was one of the best cultivators among the Half-Saints. What about Ling Jian? She was only in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage. Under such circumstances, how could she withstand a single attack from Yin Huan without any resistance?
"Late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage?"
At this moment, Yin Huan couldn't help looking at Ling Jian. In his opinion, when he saw Ling Jian's cultivation level, he was shocked.
It was rare to see a cultivator in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage here.
"She is only in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage. You didn't expect her to be so bold. Is it because of the relationship between master and servant? Or is she an idiot?"
Huo Jun sneered. He looked at Ling Jian with disdain in his eyes.
It seemed to him that the parts were seeking their own deaths. The story of a hero saving a damsel in distress could happen anywhere, but if he was only at the late stages of the Sky, such a hero wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Yin Huan, go ahead. This brat is so devoted and has the courage. You might as well help him."
At this moment, Huo Jun also looked at Yin Huan and sneered.
Yin Huan had been looking at Ling Jian. When he heard those words, he raised his eyebrows.
"Yin Huan, hurry up if you want to attack. I will take this attack."
Nalan Yanran opened her mouth and spoke in a deep voice. Immediately, her eyes looked at Yin Huan before saying, "She is merely a forbearance within my clan. She does not have the qualification to decide what I wish to do."
"Ling Jian, you should hurry up and return."
After saying those words to Yin Huan, Nalan Yanran hurriedly chided Ling Jian.
However, what caused Nalan Yanran to be speechless was that Ling Jian appeared to be unaware of Nalan Yanran's scolding and good intentions at this moment. Similarly, she did not even react.
She merely looked at Yin Huan. Immediately, her footsteps moved slightly at this moment. After which, she arrived in front of Yin Huan and coincidentally blocked Nalan Yanran and Nalan Mingyue's figures behind her.
"Feel free to attack."
An indifferent voice was emitted from Ling Jian's mouth. His tone was even more casual. It was as though he did not place Yin Huan in his eyes.1
