I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

"The person in the shadows? What person in the shadows?"

Xiao Yuxuan's face showed a strange expression, and she glanced at Liu Tianyi, who was lying on the ground.

He was spitting blood, his face full of pain, obviously seriously injured.

"What exactly is going on? And where did that explosion just now come from?"

She was full of doubts.

Liu Tianyi's cultivation was far above her own, and his control over the spiritual fire was also extremely skilled, so how could he suddenly lose control?

What's even stranger is that there were no strong spiritual energy fluctuations just now; everything seemed to happen without warning.

Facing the Casting Pavilion's slander,

Xiao Yuxuan looked coldly at the group of black-robed men and sneered, "What? The Casting Pavilion can't afford to lose? I was focused on casting just now and didn't have the mind to play tricks on you!"

"Besides, with my abilities, why would I need to do the kind of shady things that you Casting Pavilion does?"

The surrounding cultivators nodded in agreement:

"That's right! Xiao Yuxuan didn't do anything.

It's obvious that Liu Tianyi himself is incompetent; are you trying to play dirty?!"

"Heh heh, the Casting Pavilion is still the same as always; they slander others when they can't do it themselves."

"The casting competition led by the Casting Pavilion is about to begin soon; why not just decide internally who will win the championship? What's the point of competing?"

"Or how about this? I have a suggestion for you; in your casting competition, whoever loses can win the championship—a zero-win champion; how great is that!"

The piercing taunts made the faces of the black-robed casters turn ashen, and anger churned in their chests.

Feng Xiong, the leader, snorted coldly, "My Casting Pavilion acts with integrity and would never slander anyone casually.

It's you who are playing tricks in the shadows, harming my son-in-law and causing him serious injury!"

He pointed at Xiao Yuxuan and shouted sternly, "If you don't hand over the person behind you, don't blame me for smashing your shop!"

"What? The Casting Pavilion wants to cause trouble in Brahma City?" The surrounding casters were immediately outraged and surrounded them.

This is Brahma City!

As opposing forces, you dare to cause trouble here?

"You blame others for your own incompetence?

Do you really think no one can deal with you?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiong's eyes turned cold, and with a loud shout, his aura instantly surged.

The blood-colored battle halberd in his hand trembled slightly, and the pressure that erupted from it instantly made the surrounding casters gasp.

"A peak-stage Tribulation Transcender?!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Feng Xiong raised his battle halberd high, and his black battle robe fluttered in the wind.

He coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his tone grim: "Let me see who dares to stop me?!"

The casters were momentarily speechless.

Most of them had focused their minds on casting and were not good at actual combat, and they couldn't help but retreat in the face of Feng Xiong's power.

Feng Xiong sneered and turned his gaze to Xiao Yuxuan in the shop: "It seems you are determined not to hand over that person?"

Inside the shop, the girl pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists, and prepared to fight to the death.

"Since that's the case…" Feng Xiong put away his battle halberd, and his spiritual energy gradually gathered.

He revealed a hideous smile; "Then I'll make you pay for him with your life!"

"Die!"

The battle halberd slashed across the sky, carrying terrifying power as it struck down fiercely.

A piercing shriek echoed in the air, threatening to end Xiao Yuxuan's life with one blow.

The difference in cultivation was too great!

Xiao Yuxuan didn't even have time to react; the battle halberd was already approaching her brow!

She subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.

Time reversal? Or is this just what death is like?

She opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was still alive.

Her gaze slowly turned forward, and she was stunned.

In front of Xiao Yuxuan stood a young man in white.

The young man stood tall and straight, his long hair fluttering, his expression indifferent, his right hand gripping Feng Xiong's battle halberd, making the latter's expression incomparably hideous.

The young man turned slightly, a gentle smile on his face, looking at Xiao Yuxuan.

Thump~ Thump~

Xiao Yuxuan suddenly felt her heart beat faster, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

The person in front of her was coldly looking at her, with an indescribable strangeness about him from head to toe.

For some reason, at the moment their eyes met, Xiao Yuxuan seemed to see the most dazzling sunlight.

Her attention was suddenly interrupted by a horrified voice:

"Who are you?"

Feng Xiong's pupils shrank, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

His heart was pounding violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, that his full-strength strike had been defused so easily by the other party.

The young man in front of him had an extraordinary bearing, his expression indifferent, as if he was a lofty god!

That spiritual energy bombardment was like a drizzle in front of him, failing to stir up any ripples.

Clearly, this person's strength was unfathomable and far exceeded his own realm.

A head-on collision would probably not work.

Feng Xiong took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and raised his head: "Your Excellency, I am Feng Xiong of the Casting Pavilion.

Today's matter is a private feud between my pavilion and Brahma City.

If Your Excellency is willing to stand idly by, my Casting Pavilion will pretend that we have not seen you.

After today, there will be great rewards!"

He paused, his tone suddenly turning stern: "But if Your Excellency insists on interfering, then you will be at odds with my Casting Pavilion!

After today, whether in heaven or on earth, the Casting Pavilion will make sure you have nowhere to be buried and no way out!"

Lin Ning sneered, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Feng Xiong, and said in a tone as indifferent as a light breeze: "Casting Pavilion? Is it very strong?"

His gaze shifted, first landing on Liu Tianyi, who was being supported by the black-robed men.

The other party's face was twisted with pain, and his right arm hung down unnaturally, its bones already broken.

Lin Ning glanced at him and then turned to Xiao Yuxuan behind him, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness: "Senior Sister, didn't he gamble his life with you?

Since you won, his life should be yours to take."

"He called me Senior Sister?" Xiao Yuxuan's body trembled slightly.

When did I have such a young and powerful Junior Brother?

Lin Ning didn't notice Xiao Yuxuan's reaction.

He once again swept his gaze over the two black-robed men who were gripping their weapons tightly.

After being glanced at, the two thugs broke out in cold sweat, the blades in their hands trembling slightly, their hearts shaking violently.

"Just who is this person?

Even Elder Feng can't deal with him alone.

Just this one glance makes me unable to move…" The black-robed man on the left had a dry throat, and the energy in his dantian stagnated.

"Even if his strength is strong, we have the Casting Pavilion behind us.

Does he dare to be enemies with our Casting Pavilion!" The black-robed man on the right threatened in a hoarse voice, but his lips were already trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Ning was unmoved, his gaze as gloomy as an icy pool, sweeping over the disciples of the Casting Pavilion.

Bang! Bang bang!

A series of more than a dozen muffled sounds rang out, and a heavy spiritual energy pressure suddenly descended.

The disciples of the Casting Pavilion were crushed as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

They believed that kneeling before the enemy was the most humiliating thing, and they immediately mobilized all their strength to resist, but found that they could not stand up no matter what!

The surrounding Brahma City casters were stunned.

Everyone was as if they were in a dream, unable to believe the scene before them.

"One glance is enough to seriously injure these Casting Pavilion rats… Just what kind of great power is this person?"

One person couldn't help but tremble and whisper, exchanging glances with his companions around him, and they all saw a kind of absurd fear in each other's eyes.

Feng Xiong's eyes were tearing, and the shock and anger in his heart intertwined and ignited, his fists clenched tightly, and the sound of bones cracking could be faintly heard.

"Boy!

No matter what secret technique you are using, stop now!" Feng Xiong roared, and the powerful cultivation of the Tribulation Transcending stage in his body erupted madly, his voice like thunder, and the wind and clouds changed because of it.

"If you continue to interfere in the affairs of the Casting Pavilion, even if you are a Great Emperor, the elders of my pavilion will tear you to pieces!"

Hearing this, Lin Ning curled his lips and smiled, a chill spilling from the corners of his lips: "Feng Xiong, you have a very big mouth."

Lin Ning sneered: "But even the Emperor Venerables of Burial God Mountain don't dare to speak wildly to me."

"The Casting Pavilion, what kind of thing is it?"
