Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 81 - 81 81 Demon

81: Chapter 81: Demon?

81: Chapter 81: Demon?

Logically speaking, Ye Xuan was not a lustful person, something Azure Dragon was extremely certain of.

However, when Ye Xuan walked towards Xue Ji, Azure Dragon’s heart began to waver.

Gentle as jade, his smile warm, this was the demeanor Ye Xuan presented, until he arrived at the Desolate Group’s resting area and stood in front of Xue Ji, which made her complexion look rather unpleasant.

“Hello, my name is Ye Xuan.

May I get to know you?” Ye Xuan’s gaze was peculiar, and his smile inscrutable.

Unfortunately, Xue Ji, the leader of the Desolate Group, ignored his greeting.

Her delicate face remained unresponsive as if she considered Ye Xuan to be mere air.

“Heh.”

A light laugh escaped from Ye Xuan’s mouth.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he actually sat down beside Xue Ji, making her face turn cold as she looked at him with disgust.

“I am very curious.

Logically speaking, this era is the Last Law era, where nature’s spiritual energy no longer exists in the world, and the Dao Law leaves no trace to be found.

Even cultivators cannot survive here, yet why do ‘demons’ still exist in this world?”

“I wonder if Lady Xue Ji could enlighten me?” Ye Xuan said, staring intently at the woman before him, his voice filled with playful tones.

Boom!

Like the Nine Heavens Thunder exploding or a vast ocean’s waves attacking, when his words reached Xue Ji’s ears, her already displeased face instantly showed a look of panic, her fair complexion turning even paler as she looked at Ye Xuan with extreme shock.

“You…

what are you talking about…

I…

I don’t understand!” Xue Ji’s voice was weak and tremulous, but if one listened carefully, they would detect a trace of quiver in it.

“Hehe.”

Ye Xuan rose from his seat, patting Xue Ji’s shoulder congenially, his voice eerie, “Not understanding is alright.

After this annual meeting ends, I will look for you.”

Ye Xuan maintained a smile, but it made Xue Ji shiver all over.

Watching Ye Xuan’s departing figure, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, and she looked down, her mind seemingly lost in thought.

“This guy has a lot of nerve to lay hands on Lady Xue Ji?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, didn’t you see Lady Xue Ji didn’t even get angry?

Maybe they’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Lady Xue Ji is famously known as the Ice Queen; for all you know, these two might even be in a romantic relationship.”

“Are you looking to get yourself killed?

If Lord Ming Ye from Heaven Group hears that, he’ll make you pay.”

In the resting area of various groups, a variety of discussions emerged, and the leaders of each group focused their gaze on Ye Xuan, each with a different look in their eyes.

“Hmph.”

Bai Lang snorted coldly, “This kid has a lot of nerve to flirt with Xue Ji.

It looks like we won’t need to take action; Ming Ye won’t let him go.”

“Interesting, interesting, it looks like this annual meeting will be quite fascinating,” Tian Yu observed deeply, a curious gleam crossing his eyes.

In the Heaven Group’s resting area, the leader Ming Ye’s face was gloomy, his gaze sweeping over Ye Xuan with substantial hostility.

In the Earth Group’s resting area.

As Ye Xuan returned, Azure Dragon wore a bitter expression, not knowing what to say to Ye Xuan.

“Mr.

Ye, what was that about?” Azure Dragon eventually asked.

“This Xue Ji is very interesting.

It seems this world is not so boring after all, don’t you think so, Azure Dragon?”

“Haha!” Ye Xuan laughed mysteriously, causing Azure Dragon to feel even more perplexed, uncertain of what Ye Xuan was talking about.

Clang!

A burst of gong and drum sounds filled the venue, drawing everyone’s eyes away from Ye Xuan and toward the center of the venue.

A platform in the center of the venue rose, and the head of the Wu’an Office, dressed in formal attire, first circled to greet the guests from all directions, then slowly began to recite the opening speech.

Boring, so tedious—this was Ye Xuan’s feeling.

The head of the Wu’an Office’s opening speech lasted for more than twenty minutes, merely boasting about the past year’s achievements of the Wu’an Office and encouraging the members of each group with trivial words.

Perhaps sensing the impatience of the audience, the head of the Wu’an Office gave a slight smile and directly announced the start of the martial arts tournament, which immediately stirred up noise in the venue.

“First match, Yellow Group’s Zhang Meng versus Xuan Group’s He Huan, please both contestants come up to the stage.” As the referee’s voice sounded, the two contestants quickly ascended the stage.

Powerful energy was unleashed, and fists hit flesh.

The two on the arena fought fiercely, drawing cheers from all directions.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan reclined lazily in his chair, disinterestedly watching the contest below.

To him, the martial skills of these two were like child’s play, how could it possibly pique his interest?

“Xuan Group’s He Huan wins!”

When the first match ended and the referee announced the result, Bai Lang was visibly pleased and laughed loudly at Ye Xuan from across the space, “Guest Elder Ye, if our group members encounter each other, I will surely instruct them to go easy.

But when it’s your turn to compete, just make sure not to embarrass the Earth Group!”

“Ha, ha!”

Bai Lang’s provocative behavior directly darkened Azure Dragon’s expression and elicited laughter from the members of the other groups.

Clearly, Earth Group’s ranking was a well-known issue each year, and although Ye Xuan had a big reputation, nobody had seen him fight, so naturally, nobody had high hopes for him.

“Second match, Earth Group’s Zhang Xiaoqiang versus Heaven Group’s Li Fenglan.”

As the referee’s voice sounded, Zhang Xiaoqiang’s complexion was pale, and he looked nervous.

It was his first time attending such a grand event—how could he not feel tense?

“As a man, you can lose, but you cannot cry.

Fight with all your might and prove yourself.”

As Zhang Xiaoqiang nervously entered the stage, Ye Xuan’s voice timely sounded.

“Mr.

Ye, I won’t let you down,” Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face froze for a moment, then he clenched his fists tightly, determination filled his eyes, and he strode toward the stage.

On the stage!

Li Fenglan was a young woman, not particularly beautiful, but she radiated a heroic aura, and her cultivation was at the Hua Realm.

However, when she learned her opponent was Earth Group’s Zhang Xiaoqiang, her initially excited emotion gradually cooled.

It was for no other reason than Earth Group’s inherent weakness, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was famously known as the weakest of the group.

Competing against such a person was merely a formality; even if she won, it would bring her no pride.

“Will you forfeit voluntarily, or shall I throw you off the stage?” Li Fenglan said coldly.

“Mr.

Ye once taught me that as a man, one should never bow to a woman.

Either you kill me today, or I will not admit defeat,” Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face turned red, yet he still shouted out loud.

“Mr.

Ye?”

“Is that the Mr.

Ye who became the Earth Group’s Guest Elder through connections?”

“How could such a person teach you anything worthwhile?” Li Fenglan sneered repeatedly, her eyes filled with disdain.

“Do not slander Mr.

Ye.”

Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face flushed with anger, and like a wild beast, he charged directly at Li Fenglan.
