As soon as the words fell, this Dao Sword light crashed to the ground, and the figure of Xue An emerged from it.
Seeing this scene, many people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Because they did not recognize Xue An at all, they had no idea who this young man in white was.
However, some who recognized Xue An couldn’t help but exclaim.
"It’s that newly emerged young powerhouse, Xue An!"
"He actually came!"
Amidst the low whispers, Shen Muyu, who was standing with eyes closed among the Shen family camp, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Xue An.
And Xue An, seemingly sensing it, also looked towards him at the same moment.
Their gazes met in mid-air, producing a muffled bang.
In an instant, those standing close felt their minds tremble violently, involuntarily stepping back.
As for the others, they showed expressions of shock.
Merely a meeting of eyes could stir such a great wave; how powerful must these two be?
Just as many were shaken, Shen Muyu was slightly taken aback, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Back when Xue An was still in seclusion with the Pharmacists’ Alliance, he personally delivered a challenge.
At that time, Xue An was like a dead man; although the Sword Intent was refined, it posed no threat in Shen Muyu’s eyes.
But who would have thought that in just a few days, Xue An not only emerged successfully but had made such astonishing progress in strength.
So much so that in the recent probing, he was on par with him, not falling behind at all.
Shen Muyu was surprised, but Shen Hongyi standing beside him was even more astonished.
Having once fought Xue An and ultimately lost, she was already full of dissatisfaction, wanting to redeem herself at this Bai Family gathering.
But when she sensed the hidden yet immensely powerful Sword Intent from Xue An, her pupils instantly shrank to needle size.
This guy’s strength had undergone a monumental change pared to when he fought her before.
And this speed of progress deeply terrified Shen Hongyi.
At the same time, Xue An’s lips curled into a sinister, cold smile, then he slowly made a throat-slitting gesture toward Shen Muyu.
This shocked the entire audience.
To know that before this, almost no one favored Xue An in the bet against Shen Muyu.
After all, despite Xue An’s rising fame, his foundation was much weaker.
And although Shen Muyu was young, he was already a long-renowned prodigy.
With the Shen family boasting an undefeated Sword Authority, many thought this showdown would surely end in Xue An’s defeat.
But who knew their first encounter would defy everyone’s expectations.
First, the probing ended in a stalemate, and then Xue An, who was supposed to be at a disadvantage, arrogantly used a gesture to threaten Shen Muyu.
This was truly rare.
At least Yue Qinghuan’s face flushed with excitement.
"Brother, look quickly, Xue An looks so cool right now!"
Yue Shifang glanced at his sister, who was already infatuated, and helplessly smiled wryly.
"Silly girl, do you really think he’s just showing off?"
"What else?"
"You’re still thinking too simply!" Yue Shifang sighed softly.
Meanwhile, many eyes focused on Shen Muyu, wanting to see how he would react.
But Shen Muyu appeared calm, only his gaze was slightly cold, then he slowly lowered his eyes without any response.
This left many feeling disappointed.
Especially many of the Shen family, who felt unfortable.
Because Shen Muyu’s response seemed akin to backing down.
Take Shen Gaoge, for instance, who muttered discontentedly.
"What’s going on? That kid is so arrogant, why doesn’t the second young master deal with him? If it were me, I’d have beat him up by now, Hongyi, you say..."
The rest of his words went unsaid because Shen Hongyi glared at him fiercely, forcing him to swallow them back down.
In fact, only a very few present could see the subtleties within.
Such as Yue Shifang, who first was stunned, then sighed slightly.
"Truly, heroes e from youth, the battle hasn’t even started, but their first confrontation is already so brilliant!"
Yue Qinghuan, not quite understanding, asked, "What does that mean? Didn’t they just meet face to face?"
"You don’t get it! Ever since the Shen family stepped into the Yin and Yang Starry Domain, they’ve been building momentum non-stop. By now, the Sword Intent in Shen Muyu’s chest has reached its peak. In this situation, if he doesn’t act, it’s fine, but if he does, it will be an earth-shattering blow!"
"And Xue An chose to appear in such an arrogant manner at the last moment to break the momentum in Shen Muyu!"
Yue Qinghuan nodded as if understanding, "Then what’s going on next?"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady beside her suddenly spoke up, "Later, Xue An made a threatening gesture towards Shen Muyu, an invisible declaration of war. If Shen Muyu accepted, the momentum in his chest would be diminished by three parts."
Yue Shifang nodded approvingly.
"Her Majesty, the Empress, is correct. This was clearly also a move sent by Xue An, but it’s unexpected that despite his young age, Shen Muyu is so posed and wasn’t provoked. It’s evident that his title as the only prodigy in the Shen family in thousands of years is not just empty talk! Indeed, he has some real skill!"
Yue Qinghuan listened until her head spun and couldn’t help but say, "Why is there so much twisting and turning, it sounds so plicated, are you sure you’re not just imagining it?"
Yue Shifang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady: "..."
Just then, Xue An’s voice was heard saying, "Is everyone here?"
As he spoke, he came to the center of the camp.
Yue Shifang nodded, "All our people have arrived!"
"Good! Be prepared, it’s about to start!" Xue An said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, heaven and earth shook.
This tremor was unlike any ordinary tremor, it was a quivering originating from space itself.
Then, the twelve primordial cauldrons in the sky burst into brilliant light.
The beams of light that were originally connected quickly submerged, then fused into one.
In this extremely dazzling light, a terrifying aura was being nurtured.
In an instant, a colossal figure, as if a star, appeared above Yunxiao City.
With the appearance of this figure, the three shadow deities of the Yin and Yang Clan, Lord Yuehua, and all their subordinates simultaneously knelt to the ground.
"Wele, Lord Taiyi!"
That’s right!
The figure that appeared was the extremely mysterious Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Everyone present was shocked, and those with slightly lower strength couldn’t even lift their heads.
Only the strong could barely look up.
They saw that the figure, which originally occupied the entire sky, had now shrunk considerably, but even so, it was still ten thousand feet tall.
He wore a long robe, standing tall in the sky as if the ruler of the world.
And his appearance was hidden within deep chaos, pletely inscrutable.
Xue An gazed deeply at this figure, a flash of Red Lotus in his eyes.
And at this moment, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s immensely majestic voice slowly spoke.
"The battlefield opens!"
