The peak of Guest Welcoming Peak was extremely lively at this moment.

Outer Sect Disciples in gray Daoist Robes, Inner Sect Disciples in light blue Daoist Robes, and True Disciples in deep blue Daoist Robes nearly filled the peak.

At the center of the area surrounded by everyone, two groups of people stood face to face, with an intense atmosphere.

At the forefront were two people eyeing each other, their auras outstanding among the crowd.

Definitely top-tier Late-stage Qi Refining, much stronger than that Evil Cultivator Lou Yi encountered before.

One was tall, with fair skin and sinister good looks, yet still a handsome man.

He wore a jade hairpin on his head, and a crystal-clear white-green Jade Pendant hung from his waist, making his aura vastly different from ordinary disciples.

The other had a broad face, dark skin, with little pallor on his face, indicative of deep cultivation without much invasion from yin and cold energies.

"Yan Zechen, why do you keep pestering my Junior Brother Ye's little fiancée?

The two have been betrothed since young; why do something so despicable?" the dark-skinned man angrily questioned.

"Wan Feishun, stop spouting nonsense. Yueyue and I are deeply in love, our hearts tied to each other.

As for the engagement you mentioned, it was merely a joke by the two families when they were kids, why take it seriously?" The handsome man with the Jade Pendant scoffed disdainfully.

"Fine, keep making excuses, then let's settle this with action!" The dark-skinned Wan Feishun flashed coldly in his eyes.

"Master Wan, you should have said so earlier. We're all adults here; do we need anyone else telling us what to do? It's just a matter of pride, after all!" The handsome man named Yan Zechen laughed coldly.

Next to these two stood a man and a woman, the cause of this conflict—Junior Brother Ye and his fiancée.

However, Lou Yi just glanced at them and shook his head secretly.

Junior Brother Ye's fiancée 'Yueyue' was a fair-skinned beauty, no wonder she caused a conflict between the two.

Yet at this moment, she stood on the side of the handsome man named Yan Zechen.

However, most of the time her head was bowed, seemingly holding a hint of guilt towards the man opposite her.

The man across, short and broad-faced, really didn't win any beauty contests.

It's no wonder his fiancée didn't fancy him.

Yet, even if she wasn't interested.

Breaking an engagement is unreasonable and unethical in any world.

The Ye-named disciple was from the Four Seas Association, and Yan Zechen was a Hall Master of the Cyan Cloud Alliance.

The fight over the woman had entirely turned into a clash of pride between the two powers, the Four Seas Association and the Cyan Cloud Alliance.

As the two largest disciple organizations of the Corpse-Driving Sect, they had countless open and hidden conflicts.

For some unknown reason.

The Sect Elders above always turned a blind eye to it, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Lou Yi came to the scene to watch the fun.

On the scene, Master Wan Feishun of the Four Seas Association and Hall Master Yan Zechen of the Cyan Cloud Alliance each summoned their Lifebound Corpses.

The appearance of their Lifebound Corpses was different from what Lou Yi had seen before.

They were taller than the average Iron Corpse.

The color of their skin was a dark bronze, reflecting as if coated with oil, with sharp black nails on their fingers.

Their eyes glowed with ferocity and wisdom, each side of their mouths showing two three-inch long white fangs.

Their exposed chests bore clearly engraved markings of four plum blossoms.

Of course, their forms were still quite different from humans, especially in facial structure.

Wan Feishun's Lifebound Corpse had a square face, while Yan Zechen's had a round face.

'Copper Corpses?'

It was Lou Yi's first time witnessing Copper Corpses in action.

The Corpse-Driving Sect's Lifebound Corpses have seven levels: Grass Corpse, Walking Corpse, Spirit Corpse, Iron Corpse, Copper Corpse, Silver Corpse, and Golden Corpse.

The newly gotten corpses can't move, they are Grass Corpses. It takes years of ritual refinement for them to evolve into Walking Corpses.

Spirit Corpses, possessing spirit and able to act independently, are typically only owned by Inner Sect Disciples.

Only a few of the elite have the chance to refine them into Iron Corpses.

True Disciples' Lifebound Corpses are usually in the Iron Corpse Realm, and those who can refine them into Copper Corpses are the cream of the crop.

Upon reaching the Copper Corpse stage, their speed surges, and they can autonomously cast Magic, comparable to a top-tier Magical Artifact.

The combat power of a Lifebound Corpse thus experiences a qualitative change.

A familiar middle-aged man from the Cyan Cloud Alliance opened the betting pool: "Old rules, bet that Wan Feishun's Lifebound Corpse wins, place the silver on the left plate.

Bet that Yan Zechen's Lifebound Corpse wins, place the silver on the right plate.

After the results come out, aside from our alliance taking a ten percent cut, the rest of the winnings will be distributed according to the original silver coin ratio. The more you bet, the more you win, the less you bet, the less you win."

"Brother Lou." Lou Yi was watching the excitement when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.

Turning his head, it was none other than the cold-looking, stunning You Qingyi.

The girl Yueyue, fought over by the two disciples, was nowhere near her in terms of figure, skin, or elegance, not by eight streets at least.

But beside You Qingyi stood a girl whose appearance nearly rivaled hers.

She looked about twenty, tall like You Qingyi, with apricot eyes and peachy cheeks, brows like new moons.

When she smiled, shallow dimples formed beside her mouth, giving off a vibrant young charm.

However, the most attention-grabbing was her ample chest.

Even the loose Daoist Robes of the Corpse-Driving Sect couldn't hide it. Even the well-traveled Lou Yi was impressed.

The Liu-named actress famous for her figure in his past life might have to bow down before her.

She was now looking at Lou Yi with a playful expression: "Qingyi, is this the Junior Brother Lou you grew up with as childhood friends?"

"Senior Sister Bi, don't joke, I already said it's not like that." You Qingyi said with a bit of annoyance and then shifted the topic, "Brother Lou, who do you think will win this duel?"

Lou Yi hadn't replied when an enthusiastic duck-like voice came from the side: "Of course, our Cyan Cloud Alliance's Senior Brother Yan will win."

The short and plump Wang Wenbai swaggered over.

Beside him were Zhang Baopeng and other familiar followers.

He looked at Lou Yi with disdain: "A Qi Cultivation second layer like you can understand the Copper Corpse Fighting Technique?"

"Not necessarily, Brother Lou is well-known for his corpse gambling skills.

Ask around, who hasn't heard of Brother Lou's divine gambling reputation?" Unnoticed until now, Rong Xuejian had also arrived at the scene, openly supporting Lou Yi.

"He's been gambling with Spirit Corpses and Iron Corpses. These Copper Corpses can fight on par with Peak Qi Refining Cultivators. What does he know?" Wang Wenbai sneered coldly.

The dimpled girl beside You Qingyi then asked Lou Yi, "Who do you think will win?"

"Of course, Wan Feishun from the Four Seas Association."

"Why is that? Because your friend is from the Four Seas Association, so you support him?" The dimpled girl asked with interest, not knowing Lou Yi had also joined the Four Seas Association.

"No, because his mouth smells so bad, it might drag down the Hall Master of the Cyan Cloud Alliance." Lou Yi pointed at Wang Wenbai with a smile.
