"Truly laughable, what do you think you are?"

Murong Huang was utterly enraged. Indeed, Ling Feng had an exceptional Soul Talent, capable of killing King-level Jian Chen across levels, but even among King-levels, the difference is not something that can be measured with precision.

Jian Chen was only of average level among the geniuses of the Inner Sea, while Murong Huang was a first-class talent among them.

Being insulted by Ling Feng in such a manner, Murong Huang immediately became angry, the sword light in his hand flickered coldly, and he said coldly: "I will make you pay a bloody price, and let you know who the true strong one is!"

"Murong Huang, remember your limits. Although Young Master Ling is indeed young and impulsive, you must not forget the demeanor of our Deserted City, show mercy to him."

Murong Zining said with a calm face.

"Hmm, I will show a bit of mercy, spare him a worthless life!"

Murong Huang sneered coldly and said lightly.

The way Murong Zining treated those who looked down on her immediately won applause from everyone, praising her exceptional demeanor, beyond comparison to ordinary people.

Ling Feng lifted his head slightly, showing no disguise of his disdain, sneering: "Pretending to be so noble? It's truly disgusting!"

These words left the entire audience stupefied for a moment, cursing Murong Zining for pretending to be noble? Is his brain damaged? How can he slander Murong Zining like this?

Immediately, the onlookers who originally supported their goddess were all enraged.

"Damn boy, apologize to Lady Murong quickly!"

"Boy, you're in trouble now! Daring to defame Lady Murong, I've remembered you!"

In the midst of curses from the crowd, Murong Zining lightly smiled as if nothing happened, adjusted the hair by her ear, and said softly: "Perhaps Zining didn't do well enough somewhere, which led Young Master Ling to misunderstand Zining. Everyone doesn't need to curse Young Master Ling anymore. The reason why Zining organized this contest is to resolve the conflict between Young Master Ling and Murong Huang. I hope after the match, they can shake hands and make peace. This is Zining's true intention."

"Look! Look! This is Lady Murong, the goddess of our Tianlan Sea Domain!"

"So magnanimous! Lady Murong is simply someone who can accommodate anything in her belly!"

"Damn! That boy with the surname Ling, don't just think that passing Queen Huanxin's test makes you a big shot. Being able to speak in front of Lady Murong is the fortune you accumulated in your past life. Lady Murong's magnanimity and mindset are beyond comprehension for a petty person like you!"

"Damn, I can't hold back anymore! If Lady Murong wasn't stopping us, I'd curse his ancestors to eighteen generations!"

"Young Master Murong! Teach this boy, who dares to insult the goddess, a good lesson!"

"Murong Huang! Murong Huang!"

"Take him down!"

...

In the midst of thousands shouting in unison, Murong Huang's long sword with a chilling light quivered gently, emitting a remarkably crisp sword sound.

Facing the unified shouting of thousands, Murong Huang raised his hand, signaling for quiet. When the entire audience focused on him, Murong Huang said solemnly: "Although Zining is magnanimous, I, Murong Huang, swear to the heavens, today, I will surely let this boy know that the Deserted City cannot be easily insulted!"

"And the First Divine Woman of our Tianlan Sea Domain, Murong Zining, is not someone a jumping clown like him can rashly evaluate!"

At these words, all the onlookers present were instantly fired up with passion.

"Destroy him!"

"Kill him!"

"At least break one of his arms!"

...

Murong Zining gently smiled: "Everyone, don't be like this, it's just a contest, don't harm each other."

For her, Ling Feng still had considerable value to exploit. She just hoped that today's battle would let Ling Feng understand exactly how powerful he was against the Deserted City, which wasn't something a small fry like him could contend with!

Her so tolerant words prompted another series of praises.

"Young Master Ling, hope you can, after this battle, keep the promise and turn hostility into friendship."

Murong Zining, looking at Ling Feng, said softly.

"That will depend on Lady Murong's sincerity."

Ling Feng scoffed, not drawing his sword, just standing steadily in place, saying lightly: "No need to waste time, let's get started quickly. No matter how loud your slogans are, it will be over soon anyway."

"Hmph, indeed, it will be quick!"

Murong Huang gripped his long sword tightly, knowing that Ling Feng indeed had some abilities, so he dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

Murong Zining glanced at Murong Huang, then leapt aside to the spectator seat, preparing to let the match begin.

At this moment, two figures appeared in the crowd, one clad in purple clothes with a handsome appearance, but looking a bit wretched. The other was a pretty and charming girl, furrowing her brows and muttering: "The queen said not to let you go out!"

"Sister Xiangxiang, sister only asked you to watch over me. Look, aren't you watching me now? I haven't disappeared under your nose, so it doesn't count as disobeying sister's orders!"

Yang Huanzhi shamelessly argued.

"Hmph, can't argue with you!"

Xiangxiang gave Yang Huanzhi a hard glare, thinking that his ability to play rogue was unmatched in the world.

"Hehe, just in time, how could I miss this interesting duel between brother-in-law and the people of the Deserted City!"

Yang Huanzhi said with a chuckle.

"Did you just sell out the queen? Already calling him brother-in-law?" Xiangxiang's eyelid twitched, feeling speechless inside.

"Hehe, anyway, I just recognize this brother-in-law!"

Yang Huanzhi raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Hehe, with me Yang Huanzhi secretly matchmaking, this is only a matter of time!"

"You better not mess around..." Xiangxiang was startled, knowing that when Yang Huanzhi went crazy, he dared to do anything.

"How is this messing around?"

Yang Huanzhi squinted and laughed sinisterly, thinking to himself: In the future, when sister marries, no one can control me anymore, wahahaha!

At this moment, a shadow flew in and sat unceremoniously next to Murong Zining, laughing aloud: "How can an occasion like this be without this old man!"

That Elder Tianyi said as his gaze fixed on a dense forest behind the arena.

In the forest, several figures were rustling. Feeling this cold gaze, the leader cursed immediately.

"Damn old thing, watching so closely!"

The person who cursed was naturally the Second Elder, Jian Liang, and Jian Chen's father, Jian Xibai.

Originally, these two planned to do some tricks secretly during the contest between Ling Feng and Murong Huang, directly causing Ling Feng to die unfortunately. However, with the Great Elder's arrival, this plan was entirely aborted.

Murong Zining, seeing the Great Elder arrive without invitation, nodded slightly to him, smiling: "So it's Elder Tianyi himself, apologies for not welcoming properly."

"No matter, this old man is just here for some fun."

The Great Elder laughed heartily, then loudly announced: "Let the contest begin, this old man is already getting impatient!"

The Great Elder announcing the start of the contest had a bit of a taking-the-usual-host's-role meaning, but due to the high status of the Great Elder on Tianhuan Island, no one dared to say much.

Murong Zining felt displeased in her heart, for this Elder Tianyi showed such disrespect. Someday, she would let him know, her means!
