266: Single

“Calm down, Elder Shen, now is not the time for infighting!”

Tianyan Holy Master quickly smoothed things over. If Shen Yue really used soul-searching on Ye Yan, it would all be over.

“The Holy Master is right! I was impulsive!”

Shen Yue also calmed down.

Hearing Shen Yue say this, Ye Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes towards Shen Yue held a bit more hatred.

“Shen Yue, and Su Xuan… I won’t let you off!”

Ye Yan thought to himself.

“The most urgent task is still to figure out how to rescue Shen Li. As for Ye Yan, without absolute evidence, let's wait and see!”

“After all, after Ye Yan came to our Tianyan Holy Land, he also brought huge benefits to our Holy Land!”

“If he were a demonic cultivator, then our Holy Land would have been finished long ago, right!”

Tianyan Holy Master said.

“Hmph, I’ll let you off for now today! Ye Yan! But you’d better not have any ties with demonic cultivators, otherwise, even if you’re my Disciple, I won’t let you off!”

Shen shot Su Xuan a glance.

Ye Yan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, knuckles white from the force. His heart was filled with grievance and anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.

“Yes… Master…”

After a long while, Ye Yan finally managed to utter that sentence.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now, Elder Shen, Holy Master, comparatively, I’m quite interested in Holy Son Ye!”

“As you both know, our Tianwu Holy Land recently selected a new Saint, but I’ve never been very confident in his strength!”

“Coincidentally, taking this opportunity, I’d like to spar with Holy Son Ye to see how big the gap is between me and the Saint!”

Tianyan Holy Master and Shen Yue were both stunned upon hearing this, not expecting Su Xuan to suddenly make such a request.

If Ye Yan were to spar with Su Xuan, any mishap could not only affect Ye Yan's condition but also trigger a conflict between the two Holy Lands.

However, Su Xuan was a guest after all, and directly refusing might make him lose Face.

“Elder Shen, Holy Master, don’t worry, my sparring emphasizes stopping at the right moment, nothing will happen!”

“I just don’t know what Holy Son Ye’s wishes are!”

Su Xuan smiled.

“Good! I accept!”

As the protagonist, Ye Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, he had just been greatly annoyed by Su Xuan, so this was a good opportunity to vent his anger.

Heh, stopping at the right moment, huh? He wanted to see how Su Xuan would stop at the right moment.

In Ye Yan’s opinion, as long as he beat Su Xuan to the point where he couldn't speak, then it wouldn't be stopping at the right moment.

Seeing that Ye Yan had also agreed, Shen Yue and Tianyan Holy Master couldn't say much more.

Soon, Shen Yue and Su Xuan arrived at the training ground of Tianyan Holy Land.

Hearing that Ye Yan was going to spar with someone, the Disciples of Tianyan Holy Land quickly gathered.

“I heard Holy Son Ye is going to spar with someone! Who is the opponent?”

“I heard that person is called Su Xuan, and he seems to be from Tianwu Holy Land!”

“Su Xuan? That name sounds familiar! If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Chu Chen, that Genius from the millennia-old family, defeated by Su Xuan?”

“What kind of trash is Chu Chen, worthy of comparing with Holy Son Ye? Holy Son Ye is already in the Supreme Realm! Among the younger generation, he is definitely the most Peak existence!”

“That Chu Chen, merely at the Peak of the Seal King, is nothing!”

Everyone was chattering, most of them favoring Ye Yan.

After all, Su Xuan wasn't the Heavenly Martial Holy Child; he was just a Disciple of a Peak Master. How powerful could he be?

If Su Xuan could truly defeat Ye Yan, he should have already become the Heavenly Martial Holy Child.

“Number one, number two, you two set up a betting pool over there!”

Su Xuan had brought a few servants with him this time. He wanted to use this opportunity to further diminish Ye Yan's prestige!

“Yes, Master!”

Upon hearing this, servants number one and number two went among the Disciples of Tianyan Holy Land.

“The betting pool is open! Place your bets! I bet one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on Su Xuan to win!”

Hearing someone opening a betting pool, the Disciples of Tianyan Holy Land were also filled with interest.

“I bet one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on Holy Son Ye to win!”

“Heh, isn’t this a sure win? I’m directly putting my Storage Ring on it! I’m betting my entire family fortune on Holy Son Ye to win!”

“Bets are placed~ Don’t miss out, everyone~”

Many Disciples of Tianyan Holy Land favored Ye Yan to win, and there were also a few who bet on Su Xuan.

They just didn’t bet much, hoping for an upset.

The odds had now reached a terrifying one to ten!

“Brother, the odds are already one to ten! Do you have that many Spirit Stones to pay out?”

Someone asked curiously.

“Don’t worry! Plenty enough!”

Servant number one directly threw out thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and everyone present immediately widened their eyes.

These thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones were definitely enough!

“If it’s not enough, there’s more here! To be honest, I am an official from a certain country, and I came here because of some issues. I have plenty of Spirit Stones, alright!”

Number one laughed.

“Tsk! So he’s a corrupt official! Then no problem!”

Someone teased.

As they were talking, Su Xuan and Ye Yan had already stepped onto the training ground.

“Both of you, this sparring session emphasizes stopping at the right moment. I hope you will not let it harm your camaraderie!”

Tianyan Holy Master spoke.

“Holy Son Ye is so strong and so easygoing, he will definitely show mercy, Holy Master, rest assured!”

Su Xuan directly used flattery to put Ye Yan in a difficult position.

“I… I will!”

Ye Yan suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Subsequently, both parties stood on the training ground.

“Elder Shen, what do you think of Su Xuan?”

Tianyan Holy Master looked at Shen Yue.

“A very cunning person, also very good at rhetoric, simply impeccable!”

Shen Yue gave Su Xuan a high evaluation, mainly because with Ye Yan, that pig-headed person, as a foil, Su Xuan suddenly seemed a bit perfect.

“Well said! Don’t you feel that Su Xuan gives off a sense of being unfathomable?”

“His strength seems to only be at the Peak of the Seal King, but the feeling he gives me is always more than that…”

Tianyan Holy Master sighed.

“Su Xuan’s way of doing things is different from ordinary people. He seems humble and polite, but in reality, every step hides a deep meaning!”

“Take this betting pool, for example. He clearly wants to use the power of the crowd to suppress Ye Yan’s prestige.”

“Perhaps he has hidden his strength! But no matter what, Ye Yan is still in the Supreme Realm, and he is the most Peak existence in this generation, so he shouldn’t lose, right!”

Although he was a bit annoyed with Ye Yan now, he still had great faith in Ye Yan's strength.

“Hmm… He shouldn’t lose!”

Tianyan Holy Master also agreed, after all, Ye Yan was in the Supreme Realm, no matter how much Su Xuan hid, he could at most be at this level.

“Holy crap! Holy Son Ye has been knocked down!”

Just then, a Disciple shouted loudly.

Shen Yue: “?????”

Tianyan Holy Master: “?????”
