127: Chapter 127 The First Martial Artist, Amber Venerable Makes His Move

Amber Sovereign is the number one Martial Artist in the Shun Kingdom.

This title of "number one" requires no qualifiers.

He is simply the number one Martial Artist in the Shun Kingdom.

Various factions have sent people to keep an eye on Amber Sovereign's movements.

As a top-tier powerhouse in this world, everyone fears that if he makes a move, some major event might occur.

This time, when leaving his residence, Amber Sovereign did not hide his tracks.

He headed openly and directly toward the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Meanwhile, the news that Li Yuan is the son of the wanted criminal Li Guangyi spread throughout all of Da Shun.

Prince Guiyuan and Amber Sovereign intend to handle this matter, and not just to deal with Li Yuan.

They also want to seize complete dominance in public opinion.

The family of Li Guangyi are criminals wanted by the imperial court, subject to execution of the entire clan.

Corruption and malpractice in the imperial examinations—this charge is grave enough.

For Amber Sovereign to make a move to capture or execute Li Yuan, the young descendant who escaped, is entirely reasonable and justified.

After arriving at Meifeng Mountain, Amber Sovereign paused temporarily and did not act immediately.

He knew very well that many others wanted to come and watch the spectacle.

A Ninth-Grade Supreme does not act lightly; every time he does, he must expand his influence.

Amber Sovereign believed that dealing with Li Yuan would not be difficult, but behind Li Yuan was a newly promoted Ninth-Grade.

He would very likely have to deal with this Ninth-Grade.

As the number one Ninth-Grade in Da Shun, Amber Sovereign was confident that his strength surely surpassed the Ninth-Grade behind Li Yuan.

However, the survival abilities of a Ninth-Grade Martial Artist are usually very strong.

He believed he could win, and perhaps even injure the opponent.

But what if that Ninth-Grade Martial Artist only knows how to flee?

Amber Sovereign was uncertain about this point.

He might not be able to stop a Ninth-Grade Supreme who disregards face and only wants to flee for their life.

If other Ninth-Grade Supremes were to come and watch, then this matter might likely take a different turn.

For the Shun Kingdom, an additional Ninth-Grade Supreme means a boost in national strength.

But for many factions currently possessing a Ninth-Grade Supreme,

an additional Ninth-Grade Supreme could very likely mean a portion of their occupied resources would be taken away.

If Amber Sovereign takes the lead and manages to force that Ninth-Grade Supreme into a dangerous situation, they would not mind joining in the attack.

Soon, Yan Louchuan of the Yan Family headed toward Meifeng Mountain once again.

This was a major event that shook the Shun Kingdom, and many factions without a Ninth-Grade also followed.

Among them, there were not a few whom Li Yuan knew and had had some interactions with.

From Yingyang Pass, Wang Jiuxing led a team and came to Meifeng Mountain.

Previously, when he learned that even Yan Louchuan had compromised, he had gone into hiding.

Now, seeing Amber Sovereign step forward, and with Li Yuan being the son of a wanted criminal,

his spine straightened again, and he had the courage to pursue the matter once more.

In addition, Qianqiu Mountain also came along to watch the excitement.

Ruan Xingqiao's family had gone missing, and Qianqiu Mountain had yet to find their bodies.

Ruan Xingqiao's aunt, Yu Jin, knew about the conflict between Ruan Xingqiao and Li Yuan.

However, there was no evidence to suggest that the disappearance of Ruan Xingqiao's family was related to Li Yuan.

But this time, she wanted to come and see.

Previously, she thought Li Yuan was just a nobody, but now it had been confirmed that Li Yuan had the ability to kill Ruan Xingqiao's family.

Besides these factions, Meng Shanshi, who had previously competed with Li Yuan in craftsmanship at Liulin Pass, also brought a team.

Meng Shanshi was actually still lingering outside the Shun Kingdom.

At Liulin Pass, the threat Li Yuan had made against him had truly frightened him.

A person like him is incredibly arrogant when the opponent is weaker.

But when the opponent can suppress him in every aspect, he is even more cowardly than any stray dog.

The reason he dared to return this time was naturally because Amber Sovereign gave him courage.

The number one Martial Artist in Da Shun; how could Meng Shanshi not trust Amber Sovereign?

Meanwhile, at the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, Li Yuan also heard the news that Amber Sovereign was coming.

The entire middle and upper management of the academy panicked immediately.

Amber Sovereign, the number one Martial Artist in Da Shun.

If he wants to make a move against Li Yuan, who can stop him?

Dean Guo also immediately found Li Yuan to discuss this matter.

Dean Guo and the others did not think that Li Yuan being the son of Li Guangyi was much of a problem.

The main issue was that Li Yuan's appearance—or rather, the appearance of Li Yuan and the Supreme behind him—had affected the interests of too many people.

Even if Li Yuan were not the son of Li Guangyi, other charges would have been fabricated against him.

Dean Guo also spoke bluntly, telling Li Yuan to hide outside immediately.

Leave the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy; the world is vast, he could even leave the Shun Kingdom.

For Li Yuan, naturally, he had no intention of leaving.

The grudge of having his family's property confiscated and his clan exterminated was something he had originally intended to repay them for, using this very opportunity.

"Dean, if others dared to let us receive this news, it means they have long since laid their plans.

No matter how we flee now, we are already in someone else's trap.

Besides, why must we flee?"

Li Yuan's reply was incredibly calm.

But this time, it was not just Dean Guo alone trying to persuade him.

Vice Dean Shao Lin, who was beside him, also strongly supported what Dean Guo had said.

"Li Yuan, you are the most talented young person we have ever seen.

Given time, perhaps there really will come a day when you surpass Amber Sovereign, but not now."

After the Vice Principal finished speaking, Dean Guo continued to advise him.

"I know that you previously blocked Yan Louchuan's threat and even made him compromise.

This was heartening, and because of it, we gained quite a bit of confidence.

But Amber Sovereign is different!"

Dean Guo's tone gradually became serious. As the Dean of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, he had a clear understanding of the current Ninth-Grade Supremes.

"Li Yuan, after stepping into the Ninth-Grade Realm, every step of improvement is very difficult.

But at the same time, every step of improvement brings about a transformation.

Yan Louchuan's strength is considered to be in the top three in Da Shun.

To put it bluntly, he is on par with one other person, and it is hard to tell who would win between them.

But Amber Sovereign is the number one, without any suspense.

If he were to fight Yan Louchuan, he would definitely win without any suspense.

And he would not suffer even a single injury."

Dean Guo's warning was reasonable and well-founded.

Amber Sovereign is definitely an opponent that needs to be taken seriously.

In fact, Li Yuan had already considered all of this long ago.

On the day he dared to reveal his strength in front of others, Li Yuan had already made his plans.

He had even considered a situation that was even worse.

That he would not be facing just one Ninth Grade Great Perfection opponent, but the siege of several Ninth-Grade Supremes.

Now, he possessed the martial arts experience of dozens of Ninth-Grade Supremes.

Under the tempering of the Tai Xuan Divine Art, his Foundation was far beyond what other Ninth-Grade Supremes could compare to.

Furthermore, he had mastered many of the ultimate techniques that Ninth-Grade Supremes kept hidden.

After his trip to Liulin Pass, he had even obtained a Divine Weapon to keep by his side.

To tell the truth, Li Yuan was not really worried about this Amber Sovereign at all.

If they did not come looking for him, he would have followed his plan and gone looking for them.

Prince Guiyuan is the enemy who confiscated his family's property and exterminated his clan.

This grudge, in the end, must be avenged.

Before him, Dean Guo and Vice Dean Shao Lin were both still nagging.

In their words, they were still worried about Li Yuan.
