Chapter 764 Prefecture Lord Battle
Yi Qiushuiâs voice spread from the gate of the city, pa.s.sing into the ears of the many closely watching factions. A clamour even broke out.
No one thought that Yi Qiushui would be so decisive.
On the city walls, Qiu Long squinted as he sneered out loud, âNiece Qiushui is indeed courageous.â
Then he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Yi Qianji, who was in midair, âIs that what your Yi clan wants?â
Yi Qianji swept a glance over Yi Qiushui before he responded, âBefore our master left, he said that Qiushui will be the new Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture. So what she says naturally represents my Yi clan.â
âSheâs the head of the Yi clan, and thatâs your Yi clanâs business, so I naturally have nothing to say. But as to whether she is the new Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, Iâm afraid it canât be decided by a word the head of the Yi clan said before his death,â Qiu Long said with mockery.
âAccording to the rules, before the new Prefecture Lord takes up the official post, it needs to be considered and pa.s.sed through Tianyuan Regionâs elders committee!â
âThe previous Prefecture Lord has the right to appoint a temporary Prefecture Lord,â Yi Qianji stated.
How would he not know about the Qiu clanâs wild scheme? Ultimately, they were after the position of Prefecture Lord of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, but the Yi clan absolutely wouldnât give it up either. After all, the Yi clan also had to pay a considerable price in order to obtain that position.
âYou also know that itâs just a temporary Prefecture Lord.â Qiu Long waved his hand dismissively. âMy Qiu clan can oppose and initiate a Prefecture Lord battle.â
âPrefecture Lord battle?â
When these three words spread out, it undoubtedly shocked many people across Xuanzhou City. Once the Prefecture Lord battle was initiated, it meant the Qiu and Yi families would completely tear into each otherâs faces.
Yi Qianji narrowed his eyes. âThe Qiu clan really wants this?â
Qiu Longâs eyes drooped slightly. âIâll repeat once again, hand over the beast that killed my son and the two families will be the same as before.â
Yi Qianji didnât respond again. He just s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto Yi Qiushui.
A calm and composed expression remained on Yi Qiushuiâs fair and bright face. Even if Qiu Long was pressing closer and closer, she had no intention of retreating. She simply nodded. âIf the Qiu clan insists, then the Yi clan will accept the Prefecture Lord battle.â
The various forces and powerful people who were paying attention looked stunned. n.o.body expected Yi Qiushui to not hesitate to tear the face of the Qiu clan to protect an outsider.
The corners of Qiu Longâs mouth curved in a smile as he remarked, âNiece Qiushui is indeed remarkable.â
âAccording to the rules, since I am now at the Divine Dwelling stage, the Prefecture Lord battle should naturally be at my level,â Yi Qianji said solemnly.
âOf course, the Prefecture Lord battle this time is a matter of the Divine Dwelling stage.â
Yi Qiushui was only at the Divine Dwelling stage, so if they were to send out a Heavenly Sun expert, it would be impossible for the Prefecture Lord battle to go ahead. At that time, the Yi clan would similarly send out an expert of the Heavenly Sun stage, and the situation would only turn into an uncontrollable mess.
She slightly tilted his head, only to see a figure walking out from behind Qiu Long.
Countless gazes gathered on the tall man with knife-like brows. He exuded a chill that made oneâs heart palpitate.
The younger generation of the various forces, including Mu Chao, had an abrupt change of expression, and their eyes went wide with shock and fear. âQiu Ling? Isnât he training at the Heavenly Spirit Sect?â
Yi Qiushuiâs beautiful face instantly tensed up the moment the figure appeared.
The man in front was the Qiu clanâs eldest son, Qiu Ling!
Qiu Ling wasnât trash like his younger brother. He was the leader of the younger generation of Xiaoxuan Prefecture, and he was later accepted as a disciple into the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Qiu Ling had rarely returned to Xiaoxuan Prefecture these years, but his fame continued to rise, not only in Xiaoxuan Prefecture but also in Tianyuan Region.
Therefore, when Qiu Ling appeared, not only Mu Chao and the others felt an oppressive pressure, even Yi Qiushui felt it.
Under the gazes of countless people, Qiu Ling stood tall on the city wall and peered down at Yi Qiushui. âQiushui, long time no see.
âI didnât expect we would become enemies when we met again.â
He mumbled to himself. As for Zhou Yuan, he didnât even sweep a glance at him.
Yi Qiushui increased her vigilance and didnât answer.
Qiu Ling also didnât care. His voice was gentle, and it was unknown whether he was happy or annoyed. âWe have known each other for years. My younger brother has died tragically, but you let the situation become like this because of an irrelevant person. Arenât you being too willful?â
âYou presumably also know the reason.â Yi Qiushui sneered.
Qiu Ling shook his head and sighed, âItâs not good that the situation turned to this. Itâs best for you and my clan to sit down and talk...I understand, is it because the outsider is making things difficult for you?
âYour personality is too kind.
âIf thatâs the case, leave it to me. If heâs dead, it wonât be difficult for you anymore.â
The moment his voice faded, mighty Genesis Qi gushed out, and his figure disappeared elusively from the city walls like a ghost.
In midair, Yi Qianji frowned and was about to stop him.
But the three Heavenly Sun experts of the Qiu clan immediately locked onto him. Qiu Long faintly smiled. âDoes elder Qianji need to intervene in the matters between youngsters?â
During that moment, Qiu Lingâs figure reappeared in front of Yi Qiushui and Zhou Yuan.
Mu Chao and the others retreated rapidly one after another to avoid facing Qiu Ling directly.
There was a hint of a smile on Qiu Lingâs handsome face, but his pair of eyes was cold and ferocious like a lizard in the dark. He fixed a piercing stare at Zhou Yuan. âThis is an affair between two families. Country b.u.mpkin, if you know whatâs good for you, you should end yourself. Why are you still here?
âBut Iâm sure you donât have this courage. Since itâs like this, Iâll send you on your way.â
He clenched his fist, and Genesis Qi pulsed out, forming three Divine Dwelling halos behind him that displayed eight different colors.
The advanced Divine Dwelling stage!
He had also established an eight heavens Divine Dwellings!
No wonder he was so arrogant!
He punched out, sending violent Genesis Qi blasting forth that directly bombarded Zhou Yuan. His Genesis Qi contained murderous intent.
The torrent of Genesis Qi rapidly expanded before Zhou Yuanâs eyes. But just when he was about to make a move, Yi Qiushuiâs figure appeared in front of his body with two eight-colored Divine Dwelling halos behind her. Her beautiful hand, wrapped in Genesis Qi, thrust out and met the Genesis Qi torrent head on.
Genesis Qi shock waves erupted out.
Yi Qiushuiâs body trembled as she reeled back from the force. At the same time, a palm stretched out from behind her and pressed against her back to help her withstand the force.
âQiushui, it seems you donât want me to help you solve the problem. Fine, I hope he wonât regret that he didnât simply die here.â Qiu Ling shrugged with a smile, and he slowly turned away after leaving behind these words.
His action was more than a kind of deterrent; he was hoping to break the Yi clanâs confidence.
A voice sounded from behind Qiu Ling. He halted his footsteps, tilted his head and fixed an indifferent look at Zhou Yuan, who was behind Yi Qiushui. Zhou Yuan simply responded calmly, âIf the Heavenly Sun experts of your Qiu clan donât interfere, I think I can kill you.â
Qiu Ling shook his head, and his lips twisted in a contemptuous sneer. He knew that even Xu Feng had suffered a loss when he faced Zhou Yuan, but so what? If Xu Feng were to face him, he most likely wonât have the courage to even make a move.
Qiu Ling leapt onto the city walls, his gaze sweeping across Xuanzhou City.
The head of the Qiu clan, Qiu Long, shot a glance at Yi Qiushui and then at Zhou Yuan, saying, âThe Prefecture Lord battle is in seven days. I hope the Yi clan will arrive as scheduled.â
As his voice died away, he and the two other Heavenly Sun experts of the Qiu clan also darted towards Xuanzhou City.
With their departure, the atmosphere at the city gate also eased. But the countless forces and people who were closely watching were all aware that the Qiu and Yi families were going to face each other for real this time.
There was going to be a good show in seven days.
