547: :The battle for the tenth place on the Honor List! Zhou He vs. Bai Feiyang!

Su Shengyuan walked out of the secret chamber, feeling the brand new power within his body, and let out a sigh of relief.

Peak of the Dadao Realm, Hongmeng Dao Embryo!

He didn't even know how strong he was now.

"Where's my brother?"

At this moment, Fu Ling walked over and asked.

Su Shengyuan pointed to the secret chamber, "He's still spacing out in there. Don't worry about him. How long have I been in seclusion?"

"A day and a night. Are you hungry? I've prepared food for you."

"..."

After eating his fill, Su Shengyuan constantly paid attention to the situation in Jiulin County.

Pei Yuan was killed, and the forces behind him would definitely not let it go.

The best place to inquire about news was, naturally, a restaurant!

Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling once again arrived at Cuiyun Pavilion.

However, Cuiyun Pavilion at this moment no longer had its usual liveliness.

After all, Pei Yuan died in Cuiyun Pavilion.

No one wanted to be implicated at this time.

As soon as Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling entered the tea house opposite Cuiyun Pavilion, they saw dozens of people riding tall horses arriving in front of Cuiyun Pavilion.

Su Shengyuan looked at the leader of these dozens of people.

He wore a sword robe, had a robust build, appeared middle-aged, and exuded terrifying Evil Qi.

"This person is Pei Ji, the Sect Master of Kui Xing Sword Sect. He possesses Peak Dao Dan Realm strength and is also Pei Yuan's father."

Fu Ling explained the person's identity to Su Shengyuan from the side.

Su Shengyuan nodded! He did not speak!

Soon, another young man walked from the other side of the street.

His body was filled with Sword Intent, and he held a sword in his arms!

It was Zhou He, who was now hailed as the number one Prodigy Genius in Jiulin County!

Originally, Pei Yuan came to him to discuss swordsmanship.

But he ended up dying tragically in Cuiyun Pavilion, so he also bore some responsibility.

"Sect Master Pei, please accept my condolences!"

"Condolences? Heh heh, don't let me find out who killed my son, otherwise I'll let him know what condolences mean."

Pei Ji's voice was cold, and he didn't give Zhou He a good look. He then took his people into Cuiyun Pavilion to investigate.

Zhou He's expression immediately turned gloomy.

Indeed!

Pei Yuan died here, and he was also a suspect.

After all, although he and Pei Yuan were friends, they were also rivals.

Zhou He wanted to enter the Glory Ranking of Kaiyang Prefecture, and the first person he wanted to challenge was Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan's death only benefited him, with no drawbacks.

But if he thought about it carefully, Zhou He couldn't possibly have killed Pei Yuan.

After all, with Pei Yuan's death, he would be the biggest suspect. Wouldn't that be inviting trouble upon himself?

That county magistrate of the Zhou family only had Middle Stage Dao Dan Realm strength. How could he withstand the Peak Pei Ji?

Not long after!

Pei Ji walked out of Cuiyun Pavilion, his face extremely gloomy.

He had actually detected a Dao Infant Realm aura from within.

In other words, the one who killed his son was a Dao Infant Realm expert?

How was this possible?

How could a Dao Infant Realm expert lower himself to attack a junior?

"Sect Master Pei, my father invites you over for a talk!"

Zhou He looked at Pei Ji and said with a calm expression.

The pure will remain pure, and the turbid will remain turbid. Although he knew Pei Ji suspected him, he had not done it, so there was no need to be afraid.

"I had the same intention!"

Pei Ji, with a gloomy face, led the Disciples of Kui Xing Sword Sect and followed Zhou He towards the county yamen.

Su Shengyuan looked at Zhou He's retreating figure, thinking about how to kill him.

And when Fu Ling saw Su Shengyuan's expression, she immediately shivered.

She knew that Su Shengyuan had probably set his sights on Zhou He, the number one Prodigy Genius in Jiulin County, again.

"You wouldn't still be thinking..."

Before Fu Ling could finish her sentence.

Su Shengyuan asked Fu Ling, "Do you know about the struggle between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao?"

"What Human Dao? Heavenly Dao?"

Fu Ling blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion.

Su Shengyuan shook his head!

It seemed they didn't know about the so-called struggle between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao.

They only knew that the Primordial Demon Clan outside the city must be killed!

Heaven chose the Primal, so the Human Dao wanted to destroy the Primal.

The Heavenly Dao chose the Chosen Ones and bestowed upon them Heavenly Luck.

The Human Dao wanted to destroy the Chosen Ones.

Going against the Heavens!

This was the struggle between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao.

Su Shengyuan fell into deep thought!

He pondered how to silently and unknowingly kill Zhou He, the Chosen One.

However, after much thought, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

After all, that county magistrate was stationed in Jiulin County. Su Shengyuan could only act when he was not around, or when Zhou He left Jiulin County!

Otherwise, he currently couldn't withstand the retaliation of a Dao Dan Realm expert.

Thus, half a month passed!

Pei Ji couldn't find the murderer and had no choice but to leave in anger.

However, in Jiulin County, news spread that Zhou He was going to challenge for the tenth position on Kaiyang Prefecture's Glory Ranking.

To challenge for this position, it was very simple!

He only needed to fight the ninth-ranked person and gain the ninth's approval.

Of course, many Prodigy Geniuses throughout Kaiyang Prefecture were also eyeing this position.

They all wanted to fight the ninth-ranked person!

The ninth was also annoyed, so he set a rule.

If anyone fought him and didn't get his approval, there would only be one outcome!

Death!

As this news spread.

It immediately scared away those Geniuses who wanted to try their Luck.

The title of tenth on the Glory Ranking was indeed dazzling, but life was more important.

Only those confident in their strength would dare to face the ninth!

This day!

Zhou He intended to go to Baiyun Manor to challenge the ninth!

Upon receiving the news, Su Shengyuan immediately knew his chance had come.

He then, along with Fu Ling, rode tall horses and left Jiulin County.

"You really want to kill Zhou He? Why?"

Fu Ling asked in confusion.

Su Shengyuan chuckled, "The struggle between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao. Since I've already entered the game, I naturally have to do something."

Of course, this was only one reason.

The second reason was naturally that the rewards given by the System were too tempting.

If he obtained the Body Tempering Fluid rewarded by the System, Su Shengyuan felt he could Breakthrough to the Entering Dao Realm.

"It's Human Dao and Heavenly Dao again. Can humans really go against the Heavens?" Fu Ling's eyes showed confusion.

Su Shengyuan, however, did not explain anything further!

...

Baiyun Manor, known as the number one manor in Kaiyang Prefecture.

Young Master Bai Feiyang was even a Prodigy Genius who was vaguely about to step into the Dao Dan Realm.

Currently, outside Baiyun Manor, it was crowded with people who came to watch the battle.

Next to the gate of Baiyun Manor, there were bodies covered with white cloths.

Crimson seeped through the white cloths. These bodies were all those who came to challenge Bai Feiyang.

As expected, they were all killed by Bai Feiyang.

"What a pity, even the Cloud Xiao Sword couldn't defeat the Azure Palace Sword in Bai Feiyang's hand!"

"Are you kidding? Do you think anyone can challenge Bai Feiyang? Once Bai Feiyang Breaks Through to the Dao Dan Realm, his position on the Glory Ranking will probably move up one or two spots."

"..."

Many people looked at the bodies, pointing and whispering, some with regret, some with disdain.

Su Shengyuan looked at those bodies, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

He felt that Zhou He might be able to survive Bai Feiyang's hands.

But at that time, he would certainly be severely injured!

Su Shengyuan didn't mind giving Zhou He another push!

At this moment!

A commotion appeared in the crowd.

"Young Master Zhou of Jiulin County is here!"

In an instant, everyone looked towards the back.

They saw Zhou He riding on a tall horse, holding a sword in his arms, with a stern face, and a surging Sword Intent emanating from his body.

The crowd made way for him!

Zhou He rode his tall horse into the manor.

Everyone's attention immediately focused on the plaza inside the manor.

They saw a young man in brocade robes standing in the center of the plaza, his green sword emitting a sharp Sword Intent.

This person was precisely the Young Master of Baiyun Manor, Bai Feiyang!

"Zhou He! Very good, I am very satisfied that you could come, Young Master!"

Bai Feiyang looked at Zhou He, his eyes filled with appreciation.

He had always believed that Zhou He was the best candidate for the tenth position on the Glory Ranking.

"Greetings, Brother Bai! Please!"

The moment the words fell, Zhou He immediately gripped his sword, pushed off the ground, and instantly charged towards Bai Feiyang.

Hongmeng True Qi swept out like an overwhelming tide, transforming into sharp Sword Qi, raging across the plaza.

The clash of their sword moves in the battle amazed everyone.

Even the older generation of experts couldn't help but nod.

Su Shengyuan watched the two fighting from outside, his eyes flickering with amusement.

"Bai Feiyang is also a Chosen One!"

Su Shengyuan murmured to himself.

The moment he saw Bai Feiyang, the System's voice resonated in his mind.

But for now, he would just watch the show!

On the plaza inside Baiyun Manor!

Zhou He had already blocked ten of Bai Feiyang's sword strikes!

Bai Feiyang's eyes were filled with approval!

"Very good, if you can block this last sword, then you are qualified to be ranked tenth on Kaiyang Prefecture's Glory Ranking!"

As soon as the words fell.

Bai Feiyang's eyes immediately burst forth with fierce Sword Intent, followed by a swing of the Azure Palace Sword in his hand, stabbing towards Zhou He at a tricky angle.

Zhou He's expression changed drastically. He wanted to raise his sword to meet it, but it was too late.

Pfft!

Zhou He's abdomen was pierced!

"I lost!"

Zhou He stumbled and half-knelt on the ground, a pale look on his face.

At this moment, he finally knew the gap between him and Bai Feiyang!

"No, you won. You have my approval! From now on, you shall be ranked tenth on Kaiyang Prefecture's Glory Ranking!"

As Bai Feiyang's voice resonated.

The onlookers outside immediately burst into exclamations.

"Young Master Zhou!"

"Young Master Zhou!"

"Young Master Zhou!"

"..."

Zhou He listened to the cheers, the corners of his mouth turned up, and finally, unable to hold on, he fainted.

As time passed!

The news of Zhou He's battle with Bai Feiyang also quickly spread throughout Kaiyang Prefecture.

And Jiulin County was even more overjoyed, even hanging banners on the city walls to welcome Zhou He's return.

After staying in Baiyun Manor for two days.

Zhou He left!

Although his complexion looked no different, the Sword Intent Bai Feiyang left in his body was constantly raging at his wound!

Zhou He rode his tall horse, traveling on the main road.

But Su Shengyuan had already been waiting here for a long time!

Looking at Zhou He who was gradually approaching!

Su Shengyuan's mouth curved slightly upwards!

"Little Tower, close the door and unleash Dawn Morning!"

As Su Shengyuan's words fell.

This Void Realm was immediately sealed by the Little Tower.

After that, Dawn Morning once again cast an illusion.

Although Zhou He had already entered the mysterious space set up by the Little Tower, he remained unaware.

Just then!

A misty haze rose in the space!

Zhou He then became alert and immediately drew his sword.

He didn't expect that someone would dare to attack him.

After all, he was now famous throughout Kaiyang Prefecture, a young Prodigy who had entered the tenth rank of the Glory Ranking.

Before Zhou He could think further!

He felt his Realm being suppressed by a force of rules.

"Dao Infant Realm..."

Boom!

A flash of sword light filled his vision.

He seemed to see countless stars, which actually transformed into divine swords, covering him!

Before losing consciousness.

A thought suddenly popped into Zhou He's mind.

"So, this is how Pei Yuan died..."
