Chapter 347: Shangguan Nan Takes Action
Seeing that Wang Yufan could withstand his aura and pressure, Shangguan Nan’s brows twitched. Although he had thought highly of Wang Yufan before, his attitude changed greatly once he realized the identity of the Drought Demon. This was because Yang Xiu of their Tianyu Divine Sect and Soul Reaper of the Netherworld Divine Sect, two Prime Ancestors, had a very close relationship.
If he were to take Wang Yufan into their Tianyu Divine Sect today, he would not be able to bear the blame from above. Even if Wang Yufan was a good genius, what was a genius who had not fully matured?
On the arena, Wang Yufan bore the pressure from Shangguan Nan. This aura and pressure were very strong, but Wang Yufan still resisted it.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Nan and the others in the VIP section, then said, "Hahaha, I didn’t expect this Genius Competition to be like this. What’s the use of this competition? I think there’s no need for future competitions. We just need to rely on the strength of our backing. Don’t you agree, Lord Shangguan Nan?" After Wang Yufan finished speaking, everyone was surprised that Wang Yufan did not try to curry favor with Shangguan Nan in such a situation, and even dared to say such words.
Shangguan Nan, seeing Wang Yufan’s expression as he looked at him, sighed and said, "Actually, you don’t have to be like this. You only need to stay here for a period of time. In order not to let the other people of the Mingyue Empire be punished, I actually think highly of you and really hope you can join my Tianyu Divine Sect. However, you provoked the people of the Netherworld Divine Sect, and if I’m not mistaken, that Drought Demon has an extraordinary relationship with Lord Soul Reaper. If you can admit your mistake now and then stay with the Emperor of the Mingyue Empire for a period of time, if nothing happens, I can let you join my Tianyu Divine Sect."
Upon hearing Shangguan Nan’s words, Wang Yufan burst into laughter.
"Hm? What are you laughing at? Do you find what I just said very ridiculous?" Shangguan Nan asked.
"Hahaha, you ask me what I’m laughing at. As an Elder of the Tianyu Divine Sect, are you afraid of the Netherworld Divine Sect, which is also a Super Divine Sect like your Tianyu Divine Sect? I think you’re afraid that you yourself have offended someone you shouldn’t have. To put it bluntly, you’re just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong, so there’s no need for you to pretend to be noble here."
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound of discussion began to rise from the spectator area.
"It’s over, this Wang Yufan actually dared to speak to Lord Shangguan Nan of the Four Great Divine Sects like that."
"Yes, this Wang Yufan’s talent is indeed good, but he’s a bit too arrogant."
"However, I think this Wang Yufan is a young man who dares to act. A true genius must be fearless of hardships."
"Tsk, I admit what you said is also very true, but sometimes one must assess the situation. However, if this Wang Yufan doesn’t follow the words of these Lords, I estimate that today will not end well."
When he said this, the surrounding crowd also nodded.
Wang Yufan heard their words, but he didn’t pay attention.
As for what Wang Yufan had just said, Shangguan Nan, who was sitting in the main seat of the VIP section, clenched his hand, making a cracking sound. He had originally thought highly of Wang Yufan, thinking that the aura released by the Drought Demon was too evil. He hadn’t expected that the Drought Demon would eventually use the Youming Flame Fire, which only the Soul-Reaping Ancestor possessed. He immediately thought that the Drought Demon was very likely to have an inseparable relationship with the Soul-Reaping Ancestor.
He knew everything Wang Yufan had just said. However, he himself was still a bit apprehensive about the Netherworld Divine Sect, so he still hoped that Wang Yufan would listen to him. But Wang Yufan’s words just now made his good impression of Wang Yufan instantly disappear a lot.
"Wang Yufan, do you know that you have already made a big mistake?" Sima Chun, who was sitting next to Shangguan Nan, said at this moment.
Hearing Sima Chun’s words, Wang Yufan sneered and said, "What mistake have I made? Did I say something wrong? You can ask everyone present, where was what I just said problematic?"
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he looked at everyone watching the battle.
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the people watching the battle at this moment began to discuss animatedly.
"That’s right, what Wang Yufan said before was indeed reasonable. These people from the upper sects are too unreasonable, aren’t they?" Someone whispered.
Hearing this, the person standing next to him whispered, "Keep your voice down, aren’t you afraid of being heard by these people from the upper sects?"
And hearing the words of the person next to him, the person who had just spoken also quietly lowered his head. However, such words were not only being spoken in his area; people in other areas were also saying the same thing.
Shangguan Nan, sitting in the VIP section, heard the unfriendly words coming from all directions, and he was also extremely displeased. Immediately, some pressure once again emanated from his body and spread in all directions.
Everyone felt this powerful pressure. Those who had just been speaking ill of Shangguan Nan were now silent.
"Hmph, if anyone here says something that is incorrect, then step forward." Shangguan Nan’s voice spread in all directions. This voice was like a grand bell, reverberating in everyone’s hearts.
And Wang Yufan, as the person involved, received the strongest pressure. However, a force emanated from Wang Yufan’s body, completely neutralizing this pressure. At this scene, Shangguan Nan’s eyes narrowed slightly, surprised in his heart. He knew that Wang Yufan had many methods. He hadn’t expected that a Yuankun Realm cultivator could withstand his Yuandao Realm cultivation.
"I knew you had a trump card, but do you think that as an Elder of the Tianyu Divine Sect, I only have this much? You’re wrong. Since you’re so disrespectful to me, then I’ll teach you a good lesson." Shangguan Nan said.
However, when Shangguan Nan’s words came out, Sima Chun, Zhang Dao, and Emperor Huang Wuji, who were beside him, were all stunned. Shangguan Nan’s words clearly meant that he was going to attack Wang Yufan.
In the next moment, Shangguan Nan’s figure flashed directly to the sky above the arena. He suddenly unleashed a palm strike towards Wang Yufan’s position.
This palm strike carried the sound of wind and thunder, and a huge flaming palm descended crashingly towards Wang Yufan.
Wang Gang, who was standing on the arena, was directly pushed to the edge of the arena by the force of this power’s momentum, without suffering any substantial harm. Wang Yufan, at this moment, felt immense pressure. Wang Yufan directly unleashed the Heavenly God Fist, but before Wang Yufan’s fist technique could even be fully unleashed, it was already shattered by Shangguan Nan’s attack.
