I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 103: For My Sake

"Alright, let's end this duel here!"

With a wave of his hand, King Yanxuan declared the battle, which was meant to determine the victor and decide life or death, to be over.

His tone was filled with an undeniable firmness.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Nianling Sect was dumbfounded.

ended?

Huang Li isn't even dead yet, and that guy stormed up the mountain gate and killed one of their elders. How can this matter be let off so easily? Originally, the Nianling Sect came to this duel with the aim of completely suppressing the Huangdao Sect!

Now that King Yanxuan has said it's over, where do they stand?

Meanwhile, the disciples and elders of the Desolate Blade Sect were equally bewildered.

As for the people watching the battle around Jingku Valley, they were also somewhat puzzled. Most of them did not expect that King Yanxuan would intervene at this time.

Logically speaking, what does the struggle between these two major sects have to do with King Yanxuan?

Only a few people sensed something amiss...

The appearance of King Yanxuan is no small matter...

Perhaps this perfectly represents the attitude of the Sun Flame Emperor?

"This Kuyun Prefecture is not exactly an auspicious place, but in just a few days, our Sunflame Dynasty has gained two more cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage. This is certainly something to celebrate!"

Yan Xuanwang's voice, imbued with Daoist power, carried far and wide.

"We should value harmony and not dwell too much on these sectarian grudges. Since things have come to this, let's all take a step back." "That's giving me face."

King Yan Xuan said this.

He came here solely to prevent the two from killing each other and needlessly losing a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Ultimately, these two were still loyal to the Sunfire Dynasty.

We cannot afford to suffer any losses because of this internal strife.

"...Ah, what a great opportunity."

On the spirit boat, Zhu Ling sighed deeply, feeling that the opportunity had been missed.

The elders' faces were also full of regret.

If Xiao Ling had been able to kill Huang Li here, Nian Ling Sect would naturally have been able to dominate Ku Yun Prefecture!

But now, with King Yanxuan's intervention, that possibility has been completely blocked.

The prince has already made his words clear. Anyone who disobeys will be slapping him in the face, and the consequences will be dire…

"Everyone, let's reassure the disciples. But they also understand that our Nianling Sect has won this duel!"

Zhu Ling addressed the elders with a firm and resounding voice!

Although Huang Li was a little confused, he quickly understood. Given Yan Xuan Wang's personality, since he had intervened, it meant he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Xiao Ling continue to make moves.

Thinking of this, Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Yan Xuan Wang with gratitude.

Otherwise, if Xiao Ling were allowed to continue using that simple yet powerful punch, he might just die here.

"Elder Xiaoling, you have won this battle. I believe no one will object to my decision."

King Yanxuan's voice carried far.

No one objected to this result, since everyone had seen that not only had Huang Li failed to break through the defense, but he had also suffered a backlash, which clearly showed the superiority of Huang Li. "I have no objection to what Your Highness has said."

Xiao Ling clasped his hands in a fist salute, but then immediately changed the subject: "However, since the Desolate Blade Sect has lost, it must pay a price. Otherwise, wouldn't this duel be meaningless?"

His gaze swept over them, and the members of the Desolate Blade Sect immediately felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

"indeed so."

King Yanxuan nodded.

He also knew the cause of this duel: Huang Li had broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage first, and then went to the Nianling Sect to provoke and seek battle. However, he did not expect that Xiao Ling would advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage in just four days and even reverse the decline.

Now, the Desolate Blade Sect has suffered a crushing defeat. Since the Spirit Nian Sect has won, it is only right that the loser should pay a price; otherwise, it would be somewhat unfair to the Spirit Nian Sect.

King Yanxuan didn't understand many power struggles, but he knew that the victor needed to be rewarded and the loser needed to be punished. "I'll leave this matter for you two to discuss; I won't interfere," King Yanxuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Nianling Sect had their eyes light up.

very good!

Since King Yanxuan said so, then Nianling Sect has a chance to take a big piece of flesh from Huangdao Sect!

Meanwhile, everyone in the Desolate Blade Sect wore masks of pain.

It's impossible for the Nianling Sect not to make exorbitant demands!

However, at least the sect leader is still alive.

The status of the Desolate Blade Sect won't decline that drastically, but its reputation... might not recover for more than a decade.

"Elder Xiaoling, please come with me to the warship for a chat."

After Yan Xuanwang finished explaining his decision, he turned and flew into his warship. Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

……

In the distance, on a low hill, Gu Heng and Li Dahu watched as Yan Xuanwang intervened in the duel and declared it over. Gu Heng then curled his lip in disapproval.

"Really boring."

"It's better to stay in the clinic and mind the shop than waste so much time."

These moves clashed back and forth, but they weren't particularly amazing. Gu Heng even thought they were a bit too simple and clumsy. They were fought realistically, so they weren't bad to watch, but they just weren't satisfying!

They've only been fighting for a short time, not even half an hour.

Moreover, it felt rather anticlimactic, as it was clear that the duel wasn't even over before the prince wanted to end it.

Gu Heng thought to himself that he had spent a long time getting here, not to watch this hasty farce.

"Brother Li, it seems you're going to be disappointed just like me."

Gu Heng looked at Li Dahu, who was currently munching on his thirteenth melon, enjoying it immensely. However, judging from his expression, he was clearly quite unhappy about the duel that hadn't gone to the end.

This guy is probably feeling even worse.

Gu Heng has the Swift Boots, but Li Dahu has nothing. He might have to rely entirely on his two legs to get here, so he won't get to see a great fight.

"Sigh, I'm really disappointed."

Li Dahu shook his head and sighed, filled with resentment.

That "True Meaning of the Desolate Blade" looks quite powerful, but the person using it is a rather mediocre blade cultivator.

"Forget it, now that it's all over, I should go back."

Gu Heng stood up, ready to leave.

"Brother Li, we're acquainted now. If you have time in the future, you can come to the south of Yunling City. My clinic is there. If you have any illness, I'll treat it!" Gu Heng said boldly, patting his chest before parting.

Upon hearing this, Li Dahu was taken aback, then grinned and chuckled foolishly, "Hahahaha... Alright, then I'll be bothering you from now on!"

The two said goodbye to each other, and Gu Heng went down the mountain. Halfway down, seeing that no one was around, he put on his Swift Boots and used his teleportation ability to shrink the distance between them and disappear into the distance.

Li Dahu scratched his head and silently memorized the address.

Then, he soared into the air and fled far away on his own.
