Free Web NovelChapter 468: Li Yun’s Popularity Soars!
"Hm?"
Li Yun’s words seemed to carry a strange power, causing Xing Chenfeng to stop just as he was about to leave.
His face became extremely ugly. He turned around, stared coldly at Li Yun, and said, "Li Yun, do not go too far. You should know that I am a member of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom’s royal family. Are you certain you want to offend me?"
"The Starheaven royal family?"
Li Yun’s expression remained cold as he said indifferently, "Since we made a bet, you must accept the result after losing. Do you think you can go back on your word in front of everyone just because you come from the royal family of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom?"
"You!"
Xing Chenfeng’s face became even uglier.
If only he and Li Yun had been present, he would have left without hesitation. However, with so many people watching, he could not do such a thing.
Losing the bet would only disgrace himself, but refusing to honor the bet would disgrace not only him, but also the reputation of the Starheaven royal family.
He was certain that if he dared to go back on his word and leave, once the news spread, the law enforcers of the Starheaven royal family would never let him off lightly.
"Li Yun, I can give you those one thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Xing Chenfeng’s face was grim, and his voice was heavy as he said, "I can even compensate you with an additional three hundred high-grade spirit stones, but the other condition of the bet must be canceled."
"Do you think I care about those three hundred high-grade spirit stones?"
Li Yun immediately sneered. "Xing Chenfeng, if I had lost, would you have let me off just because I offered you three hundred extra high-grade spirit stones? I suggest you stop dreaming and do what you are supposed to do. I am in a hurry."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help sighing in admiration.
This Li Yun was truly domineering.
Even when facing Xing Chenfeng of the Starheaven royal family, he showed no intention of giving the other party any face.
Xing Chenfeng’s face darkened until it looked as if water might drip from it. Finally, he fiercely threw out a storage ring and said through gritted teeth, "I am trash. I am trash. I am trash."
After saying those three sentences, he did not say another word. He immediately turned around and vanished from everyone’s sight.
Watching his dejected figure leave, the crowd could not help revealing different expressions. Some looked at him with pity, while others took pleasure in his misfortune.
The Starheaven Ancient Kingdom, especially its royal family, cared deeply about reputation. Xing Chenfeng was a member of a branch bloodline of the royal family, yet he had lost such great face in public. From this day onward, he would likely never have the chance to rise again.
There was a high chance that the law enforcers of the Starheaven royal family would place him under house arrest. After that, Xing Chenfeng might never appear in public again.
Regarding this, Li Yun’s expression remained calm.
Since Xing Chenfeng had taken the initiative to provoke him, he had to be prepared to bear the consequences of failure. The winner took everything, and Xing Chenfeng had brought this ending upon himself. He could not blame anyone else.
After receiving the one thousand high-grade spirit stones, Li Yun went straight to the Outer Sect commercial street and exchanged all the spirit stones for materials to nurture the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.
The Sword-Nurturing Gourd was a treasure that could accompany him for a long time. If nurtured properly, it would be of great use to him in the future, so he naturally would not neglect it.
Meanwhile, Li Yun’s performance in the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda spread throughout the entire Outer Sect like a whirlwind.
"Have you heard? A new Outer Sect Disciple named Li Yun, who is only at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm, actually cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda."
"What? That is impossible. Those who can clear the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda are usually top experts at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm. How could a new disciple at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm do it?"
"It is true. Not only did Li Yun reach the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda, but he also made Xing Chenfeng suffer a massive loss. It is said that because of this matter, Xing Chenfeng has already been placed under house arrest by the law enforcement team of the Starheaven royal family, and he may never have another chance to appear in public."
"Damn. This newcomer is truly fierce."
Li Yun’s performance shook the entire Outer Sect.
Many people had already memorized the name Li Yun, and even some of the top experts of the Outer Sect began to take notice of him.
After all, he had cleared the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda while only at the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm.
If he was already this powerful before reaching the Mortal Core Realm, then how terrifying would he become once he truly broke through?
As long as such a person did not fall prematurely, he would sooner or later rise in the Outer Sect and even throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.
"I did not expect Li Yun’s progress to be so fast." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Inside a closed pavilion, Princess Yuehan’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she murmured to herself, "It has only been about a month since the Outer Sect assessment, yet he already has the strength to clear the ninth floor of the Heaven-Ascending Pagoda. Fortunately, I did not truly offend him back then."
After a brief silence, Princess Yuehan spoke again. "Remember this. After entering the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm, none of you are to provoke this person. If possible, try to draw him into the camp of our Moonveil Ancient Kingdom."
"Yes."
Beside Princess Yuehan stood dozens of cultivators. Most of them had reached 8th and 9th level of Mortal Core Realm and some of them were at the very peak of 9th level of Mortal Core Realm.
However, after hearing Princess Yuehan’s words, all of them nodded respectfully without the slightest doubt.
