128: Chapter 128 Meeting! The So-Called Amber Venerable
Since the decline of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, it had often appeared desolate.
Many factions had no interest in visiting Meifeng Mountain.
However, in these past few months, Yan Louchuan had visited just once, yet that alone had caused Meifeng Mountain to become packed with people.
Not long after, the number one Martial Artist of Da Shun, Amber Sovereign, had actually come as well.
Those happiest about this were none other than the people running taverns and inns on Meifeng Mountain.
Their business had suddenly boomed.
In just a few days, relying on the skyrocketing prices, they could earn the income of over half a year.
As for those large factions, they did not care about this slight price hike.
Compared to cultivation resources, it was truly too cheap.
No matter how much prices rose, a single ordinary basic Medicinal Pill was still several times more expensive than the room rates.
Seeing that Li Yuan's attitude was firm and that he did not accept their persuasion, the two deans could only leave with a sigh.
In fact, although they were now quite close to Li Yuan, their understanding of Li Yuan's strength still remained skewed.
To this day, many people were still doubting Li Yuan's true strength.
They believed the Ninth-Grade Supreme who made Yan Louchuan compromise was not Li Yuan, but someone else behind him.
Li Yuan could not be bothered to explain; possessing sufficient strength meant he had no fear of others' doubts.
To a certain extent, these things were even slightly advantageous to him.
Perhaps when dealing with that Amber Sovereign, it would provide no small amount of help.
Five days passed, and Meifeng Mountain had become lively to the extreme.
The room rates for nearby inns and taverns had been bid up to exorbitant prices.
Meanwhile, Amber Sovereign had also arrived in the vicinity.
However, this Ninth-Grade Supreme did not stop to rest.
Over these past few days, he had caught several bears and drained their blood.
He used their blood to encase the corpses, the blood solidifying into a translucent red shell.
This was the origin of Amber Sovereign's name; opponents who died at his hands would eventually be turned into this kind of amber.
For Amber Sovereign, this was an art form he adored.
Aside from women, this was likely his greatest hobby.
The bears turned into amber were simply left lying in Meifeng Mountain City.
This place was only twenty-some miles from the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, so the relevant news naturally reached there as well.
In the eyes of Dean Guo and the others, this was a blatant provocation.
It was a clear signal that he intended to strike hard against Li Yuan.
Those who were supposed to come had mostly arrived.
Amber Sovereign was also prepared, and the next step was to get down to business.
Just past noon today, Amber Sovereign picked up the two pieces of amber made from bear corpses and stepped into the Void Realm, flying toward the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.
Upon receiving the news, a large crowd followed along.
Having traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to get here, they were doing it just for this grand spectacle.
With Amber Sovereign arriving, everyone felt that this matter would surely proceed according to his wishes.
But Li Yuan's side was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Even someone as arrogant as Yan Louchuan had chosen to compromise.
Furthermore, Li Yuan had killed Yan Wudi and had even taken Yan Chenzhou hostage, forcing him to undergo a Drug Trial.
If he hadn't encountered some immense pressure, how could Yan Louchuan have compromised so easily?
Therefore, today, many people believed it would not be a one-sided crushing defeat.
At the very least, they would be able to see Amber Sovereign make a move.
It was even possible that he would be forced to use his true strength.
A moment later, Amber Sovereign had already arrived at the entrance of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy; holding the two pieces of amber, he walked into the academy.
Upon seeing him, the guards here at the academy didn't even have the courage to open their mouths to reprimand him.
Thinking back, even Yan Wudi from the Yan Family, an Eighth-Grade, had dared to break into the academy.
The academy's guards couldn't even stop Yan Wudi.
Facing Amber Sovereign, the group of guards was afraid to even make a sound for fear of provoking him.
Amber Sovereign was the genuine, number one Martial Artist in the world.
If he merely raised his hand, it was very possible that he would take the lives of these guards.
Seeing Amber Sovereign enter the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, other onlookers also squeezed into the academy.
The academy's defenses were effectively useless.
As for these onlookers, they did not care at all about the thoughts of the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.
Their current restraint was only to maintain a certain distance from Amber Sovereign.
They were worried that by getting too close, they would displease this number one Supreme.
As for what the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy thought, most onlookers did not care.
Many of the factions represented by those who came to watch today were stronger than the Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.
Aside from still having a bit of sentimentality and having once trained so many top-tier Martial Artists.
Other than that, in their eyes, it was just a small to medium-sized faction.
Amber Sovereign found a stone chair and sat down, then looked around, waiting for Li Yuan and the others to appear.
Before long, Li Yuan and several high-level members of the academy walked out.
This scene also left the onlookers present very surprised.
They probably had not expected Li Yuan to walk out so calmly.
Amber Sovereign coming here had already made his intentions clear.
Li Yuan was the son of the wanted criminal Li Guangyi, so he had a very sufficient reason to kill Li Yuan right then and there.
Regardless of what Amber Sovereign's true goal was, he definitely wanted Li Yuan's life.
"Plain and unremarkable; can this actually make Yan Louchuan compromise?"
Amber Sovereign saw Li Yuan and then spoke, offering his commentary.
It felt as though his voice was not loud.
Yet everyone around felt they could hear it extremely clearly.
As his voice fell, Amber Sovereign spoke again toward the south side: "Yan Louchuan, there is no need to hide, come out."
To the south was a clump of bamboo, but the environment was not complex, making it difficult to conceal one's figure.
The crowd looked up and only saw that bamboo grove.
The next moment, a figure walked out from the bamboo grove.
Yan Louchuan was still holding his fishing rod, and it was unknown what he wanted to fish for by coming here today.
"Yan Louchuan, are you interested in making a move today?"
Amber Sovereign asked, his words carrying a hint of casualness.
Only he would dare to speak to Yan Louchuan in such a manner.
It appeared he still held some goodwill toward Yan Louchuan, inviting him to join forces.
Before them was the number one Martial Artist, Amber Sovereign, and the opponent was the younger generation's Li Yuan.
Anyone with a discerning eye felt that this matter required no hesitation.
Thinking back to before, Yan Louchuan had suffered quite a loss at the hands of Li Yuan.
Taking this opportunity, it would be perfect to get it all back.
But upon hearing these words, Yan Louchuan shook his head.
"My Yan Family came here only to watch the excitement from the sidelines."
"Just fishing to cultivate a bit of elegant interest, that is all."
"If Amber Sovereign is interested, you should make your move yourself."
Unexpectedly, Yan Louchuan had actually rejected Amber Sovereign's proposal.
Among the onlookers, a few even wanted to stand out and accept this invitation on behalf of Yan Louchuan.
It was not just people from other factions who thought this way.
The other Yan family members present today were all a bit confused.
Li Yuan had, in front of everyone, slapped the Yan Family in the face hard.
Today, there was clearly an opportunity, so why not take the chance to pay him back?
These Yan family members even wanted to make the decision themselves.
But since Yan Louchuan had already answered this way, they had no right to interfere with a Ninth-Grade Supreme.
