Chapter 698: The Extremely Confident Xiang Heng!

Among Xiao Yuanjing and the rest, Bai Shaoyu stood next to him and said with a cold expression, “I saw that brat Ye. I didn’t expect him to actually dare to come to our exchange. Why did you stop me from killing him earlier?”

“What’s the rush?”

Xiao Yuanjing maintained his calm expression, “Don’t forget that this person also has a netherworld token. If you made a move earlier, can you guarantee that Xiang Nan and the rest wouldn’t stop us because of the netherworld token?”

Bai Shaoyu harrumphed coldly and said in an unconvincing manner, “So are we just going to watch that brat act so smug in front of us?”

“Since this man is participating in this exchange, he probably wants to board the ghost ship. During the exchange, get someone to challenge him.”

Xiao Yuanjing smiled noncommittally, “As long as we get his netherworld token, he’ll have no value to Xiang Nan and the rest. By time, won’t he be at our mercy?”

“Hahaha, that’s brilliant!”

On the 20th floor of the Yang City International Hotel, everyone present sat down in a spacious hall at the moment.

The Xiao family led the Bai, Duan, Lin and Du family, while the Tang, Xiang, Tong and Liu families were led by the Luo family. They sat on the other side.

Du family’s Du Zong coldly swept his gaze over Luo Shuiyao and the rest before he smiled insincerely and said, “Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng, your familes’ Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming aren’t here. Could it be that they’re scared?”

What he said was what most of them were thinking.

Both sides had been fighting openly and covertly in Shang Santian. Now that the younger generation had gathered, it was natural that no one liked each other.

Luo Shuiyao did not get angry. Instead, she looked at Du Zong with a face full of disdain and said, “Du Zong, do you dare to say this to my big brother?”

Du Zong paused, “You…”

Honestly, he really did not dare!

“What are you trying to say?”

Luo Shuiyao said with a cold snort, “Have you forgotten who was almost killed by my big brother with a single sword strike back then? Who knelt before him and begged for mercy?”

“Hahaha!”

Her words naturally caused Xiang Nan and the rest to burst into laughter. Even many people from the Xiao family could not help but laugh.

Previously, Du Zong had bullied Luo Shuiyao because he was ranked on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard. When Luo Tianya found out about it, he barged into the Du family alone and forced Du Zong to kneel down in front of the Du family members, apologizing profusely.

The upper echelons of the Du family were furious, but they did not dare to say anything. It was a competition between the younger generation. Not only would it be embarrassing for the older generation to make a move, the older generation of the Luo family would not sit idly by either.

After all, Luo Tianya was not called the Crazy Sister Protector for nothing!

Hearing everyone’s laughter, Du Zong’s face flushed. He could not help but stand up and look coldly at Luo Shuiyao, “You…”

“Enough!”

Right at this moment, Xiao Yuanjing spoke slowly.

The entire hall fell silent.

Xiao Yuanjing scanned the crowd expressionlessly before his gaze finally landed on Luo Shuiyao and the rest. He smiled and said, “Shuiyao, I believe Shuhui has told you that the purpose of today’s exchange is to discuss the matter of the ghost ship and redistribute the netherworld token.

I wonder what are you guys going to do about it?”

Luo Shuiyao first glanced at Xiang Nan and the rest before saying, “There’s no need to think about it. We agreed. We were just about to fall asleep when you guys offered us pillows. How could we say no?”

“Alright!”

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Xiang Nan, Tong Shuhui, and the rest one by one. Seeing that none of them had any objections, he said slowly, “Since that’s the case, here are the details. Each of us will send one person to challenge the other. The winner will get the netherworld token from the other party.”

At this point, he added, “Of course, considering that Luo Tianya and Tang Yiming have yet to arrive, for the sake of fairness, not only will I not fight, but even those on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard won’t fight. The challenger’s strength is limited to intermediate-level martial venerable. What do you guys think?”

Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, “I’ve no objections!”

She regretted it after she said that. She looked at Ye Chen subconsciously, her pretty face filled with guilt.

That was because she suddenly recalled that Xiao Yuanjing said that the challenger was only allowed to be an intermediate-level martial venerable at most. Although Ye Chen had killed Xiao Yang and the rest, they were only beginner-level martial venerables.

Beginner-level and intermediate-level seemed to be only one level apart, but to martial venerables, the difference was like heaven and earth.

However, Ye Chen merely nodded at her.

Xiao Yuanjing gently stroked his hands and said with a firm voice, “Alright, in that case, let’s draw lots. The side that draws the long lot will initiate the challenge!”

Following that, Luo Shuiyao walked out and drew lots with a young man from the Xiao family. Fortunately, Luo Shuiyao drew the long lot.

Tong Shuhui and the rest secretly sighed in relief. They were afraid that Luo Shuiyao would draw the short lot and let the other side take the initiative.

Xiao Yuanjing looked on with a faint smile and said, “You’ve drawn the long lot, so you guys get to go first. Who do you plan to send to challenge which family?”

Luo Shuiyao could not help but look at Xiang Nan and the rest.

Tong Shuhui sized up everyone and said with a frown, “Jianfeng, Liu Qing, Xiang Heng, which one of you will represent us to the challenge?”

“I’ll go!”

Xiang Heng who had been itching to fight since long ago spoke first, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win a netherworld token for us.”

He glanced at Ye Chen coldly as he spoke to this point, “Let me show you that I, Xiang Heng, am not a piece of trash like Xiao Yang!”

Liu Qing had said earlier that if he attacked Ye Chen, he would not blame him if he was killed. He still remembered that.

“Okay, go ahead. Be careful!”

Xiang Nan nodded slightly. He was aware of Xiang Heng’s strength. He was an intermediate-level martial venerable and had mastered the Xiao family’s mysterious-grade martial technique, the Rumbling Thunder Cloud Palm. He was one of the best among the intermediate-level martial venerables.

Seeing that Liu Yunfeng and Tong Shuhui did not have any objections, Xiang Heng took a step forward and leaped out. He landed at the space that had been emptied out since earlier.

A Shang Santian formation was set up here. Even if several intermediate-level martial venerables fought at the same time, it would not affect the formation at all.

Xiang Heng swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted, “Xiang family’s Xiang Heng, intermediate-level martial venerable. Which of you wants to come over and fight him?”

“Allow me!”

A young man with a birthmark on his left cheek leaped from the Xiao family’s side, “Duan Hu of the Duan family, intermediate-level martial venerable!”

“Who is this person? Why haven’t I seen him before?”

“He seems to be someone from the Duan family!”

“…”

When they saw each other, Tong Shuhui, Xiang Nan, and the rest looked at each other. They saw confusion in each other’s eyes. Luo Shuiyao and Tang Jianfeng shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen each other before.

It was because anyone who had reached the intermediate-level martial venerable before the age of 30 was considered a genius. It was impossible for them to not know each other.

Right at this moment, a voice filled with slight pity was heard, causing their gazes to freeze.

“Xiang Heng is going to lose!”
