C268 Joust for a Spouse
"These are three Vitality Pills. Consider it my compensation for misunderstanding you."
Ji Wuyan handed three Vitality Pill to Tian Liang, then turned and flew away. "Let's go. There are still things I need you to do."
"Yes!"
Tian Liang followed closely behind him.
The two of them returned to the room together. When Yan Chuang and the others saw the two of them, they quickly straightened their posture and bowed. "Master!"
Ji Wuyan waved his hand and stood in front of them. He said faintly, "I think all of you should know what happened to my family this time. I want to know who is the mastermind behind this."
"I will give you seven days to investigate. When the matter is done, I will reward you. If you don't find anything, don't blame me for punishing you."
"Yes!"
Even though his tone was extremely calm, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble, and they imperceptibly felt the killing intent on the other party's body that caused one's heart to palpitate endlessly.
After that, Ji Wuyan returned to King Pan's mansion. After telling Ji Weitian and the others some things, he opened the dimension door and returned to Upper Realm.
"Eh? Where did you go? Why didn't I see you in the room just now?"
Ji Wuyan had just opened the door when Hsiao Haifeng walked over with a puzzled expression.
"I just had something to do. I need to go out for a while. What's wrong?"
Ji Wuyan replied half-heartedly and asked back.
"Nothing. I just came to ask you to eat. I didn't find anyone in your room." Hsiao Haifeng shook his head.
"Well, then let's go eat!"
Ji Wuyan nodded and walked downstairs together.
Since he broke through yesterday, the two of them did not stay in the Ten Thousand Broken Mountains anymore. Instead, they went to an inn in the nearby Spirit Ether City and stayed there.
The two of them ordered a few dishes. They were all the flesh and blood of the Demonic Beast. It was beneficial to the Martial Cultivator's body.
"What do you plan to do next?" After eating a few mouthfuls, Hsiao Haifeng looked at the other party and asked.
Ji Wuyan had already broken through to the Supernatural Stage. So, should he stay here and kill monsters or go somewhere else? He wasn't sure.
However, he really didn't want to continue accompanying his opponent in killing monsters. It was too painful. In just ten days' time, he had killed more than a thousand fifth level Demonic Beasts. It wasn't a human's job at all.
"Naturally, I have to continue killing monsters to level up? Is there even a need to ask? What if you break through to the All-seeing Stage next time and I haven't broken through to the Dharmakaya Stage yet? Am I still going to be a boss?" Ji Wuyan rolled his eyes and said.
When he heard this, Hsiao Haifeng's face instantly turned gloomy. He kept silent and ate his food.
At this time, there was a disturbance outside the inn. Many people were looking towards the center of the city. They seemed to be very happy and smart.
"I heard that Miss Dugu Fenn is setting up an arena for the spouse finding competition again. Everyone, quickly go and take a look!"
"Pfft, this big miss is here again. What spouse finding martial competition? Actually, she is just putting on an act. It does not count at all. Last time, I remember that there was someone who won. She actually went back on her word. She thinks that the other party is too old. That person is also unlucky. She didn't dare to provoke that young lady. After getting the prize money for the martial arts competition... She ran away with her tail between her legs. "
"I remember that it seems like a year has already passed. A year has passed, and this Eldest Miss created another martial competition arena. Presumably, that Eldest Miss's strength has ascended to another level."
"I heard that this young lady has become smarter. She has set the age of the competition to be below thirty years old, and cultivation base to be above Supernatural Stage. These two conditions can directly stop many people!"
...
On the street, the discussions of passers-by could be heard without stop.
"Joust For A Spouse Festival? So interesting? Let's go, should we go and take a look? " Ji Wuyan couldn't help but smile. He looked at Hsiao Haifeng, who was standing beside him. This was the first time he had encountered the matter of "spouse finding martial competition" in another world, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity.
"Alright!"
Hsiao Haifeng was slightly helpless, but he was still curious, so he followed behind.
The two of them mixed in the crowd and followed along. They could also hear some discussions in their ears from time to time.
"I heard that the competition this time around is even more alluring than the previous one. It is a true grade treasure sword. That treasure sword is completely snow white. It is forged from top grade Sky Jade. It is indestructible and incomparably sharp!"
"There is no hope of marrying that young lady. However, this reward has attracted quite a number of people. Although everyone knows that there was a matter last time, there are still many people participating."
...
"So that's how it is! No wonder so many people are heading to the city. I wonder how strong Dugu Fenn is." Ji Wuyan sensed for a while.
There were at least a thousand people following him to the center of the city.
"I don't think it's simple. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost to an old man last time." Hsiao Haifeng shook his head.
"Tsk tsk, if this brother says so, then he is wrong!"
Suddenly, a clear voice entered their ears. They looked over and saw a handsome young man about seventeen or eighteen years old walking over.
The aura wasn't very powerful. It was similar to Ji Wuyan, a First Layer of Supernatural Stage cultivation base.
"In fact, the man last time wasn't old, and he was about the same age as Dugu Fenn. It's just that he looked a little old. In the younger generation, that man is quite strong."
The young man cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Oh right, let me introduce myself first. I'm Feng Ze, may I ask the two big brothers?"
"Xiao Feng!" Hsiao Haifeng said.
"Yan Wuji!" Ji Wuyan said.
At this moment, Hsiao Haifeng had already put on a human skin mask. It was an ordinary face. In order to prevent others from suspecting him, he changed his name.
However, the moment he heard this name, a strange expression appeared on Ji Wuyan's face.
This fellow, what kind of name is not easy to come up with? Why did he choose this name?
Of course, he didn't say anything. His voice didn't change as he gave his alias.
"Oh, so it's Big Brother Xiao, Mr Yan!" Feng Ze nodded and looked at Hsiao Haifeng. His eyes sparkled. He smiled and said, "I think Big Brother Xiao is a good cultivation base. He has a Fourth Layer of Supernatural Stage cultivation base. Although he is weaker than Dugu Fenn, he still has a chance of winning. I wonder if Big Brother Xiao is interested in giving it a try? Perhaps, that genuine treasure sword will fall into your hands. "
"Eh? Brother Feng Ze is right. Xiao Feng, I think it's better for you to give it a try. Perhaps, not only will you win the treasure, you might even make that young lady look at you in a different light!" Ji Wuyan was very surprised. Then, he said to Hsiao Haifeng as if he had just realized something.
This guy definitely did it on purpose!
Hsiao Haifeng glared at Ji Wuyan, then said to Feng Ze, "Sorry, my age has passed, and I don't meet the requirements to participate."
He looked at Ji Wuyan, who was beside him, and did not miss the chance to fight back. He said, "It's you, Wuji. Your age is just right. Also, cultivation base is enough. Why don't you give it a try? Perhaps the young lady will like someone like you. "
"That's right. What Brother Xiao said makes sense. Mr Yan, I think you should give it a try. You look so handsome and dashing. Dugu Fenn will definitely like your type. Maybe when the time comes, you won't even need to compete in martial arts. I will directly call you my husband." Feng Ze clapped his hands, his eyes carrying a trace of anticipation. He looked at Ji Wuyan.
"Me? Hehe..."
Ji Wuyan laughed lightly and the image of a girl automatically appeared in his mind. He shook his head and said, "Forget about me. I already have someone I like!"
"Oh?"2
Feng Ze and Hsiao Haifeng exclaimed at the same time.
Especially Hsiao Haifeng. He had been with Ji Wuyan for a long time, but he did not expect Ji Wuyan to have a girl he liked in his heart.
"Then where is she?" Hsiao Haifeng vaguely felt that things were not that simple, so he asked.
"An unreachable place!" Ji Wuyan laughed lightly.
"Oh!"
Hsiao Haifeng nodded and did not ask any more questions. His eyes sparkled. He vaguely guessed that Ji Wuyan was probably the same as him. When he thought of this, his eyes could not help but have some sympathy.
Both of them had fallen from the sky!
"Don't look at me like that. I'm different from you. ” Ji Wuyan couldn't stand the look in his eyes and said. Then he looked at Feng Ze and said," By the way, little brother Feng Ze, I can see that your strength isn't simple either. Why don't you go by yourself?"
"Yes, you have a Supernatural Stage cultivation base as well, and you're younger than us. Why don't you go by yourself?" Hsiao Haifeng looked at Feng Ze with a smile on his face, and his words carried an unusual meaning.
"Haha, I know what I am capable of. How could I dare to compare myself with two big brothers? I'm afraid that once I go on stage, I will be crippled by that woman!" Feng Ze laughed loudly and found an excuse to reply perfunctorily.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Looks like you're quite self-aware."
Ji Wuyan and Hsiao Haifeng came to a realization and nodded. They patted Feng Ze's shoulder and praised him.
"That is! That's right!"
Feng Ze bowed and said.
This young man was not simple!
The two of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Ever since this young man appeared, he had been encouraging them to participate in the martial arts competition. All kinds of expressions, eyes, and tone were filled with anticipation. Clearly, he hoped that the two of them would participate.
In that case, the other party should have known the two of them before.
Ji Wuyan and the other two did not make it clear. It was rare for them to be muddle-headed. Just like that, they chatted casually with each other and arrived at an empty field.
There was a huge arena on the field, about a hundred meters long. Seventy meters of forgiveness. In the four corners of the arena stood a gray-clothed old man. There was an obscure energy fluctuation, but it didn't leak out the aura. Ji Wuyan couldn't tell, but he was sure that this old man was at least a cultivation base at the All-seeing Stage.
Apart from that, there were rows of guards standing on both sides of the arena. Among these guards, the lowest cultivation base was actually a Dharmakaya Stage.
In the center of the arena stood a young girl in red, holding a sword in her hand. She had shiny black hair, a beautiful face, and a curvy body. She was about twenty years old. Her body was emitting an extraordinary aura. It was a peak Ninth Layer of Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator. She was only a step away from the Dharmakaya Stage.
In front of the young girl, there was a young man who was looking at her with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Miss Dugu, the son of the LingMiao City's City Lord, Zhang Shengling, please enlighten me!"
