The commotion here attracted the attention of many people.

"It seems the people from East Victory Kingdom are confronting those from West Lan Kingdom."

"Who is this person? It seems I've never heard of him."

"He must just be a nobody, only possessing the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm cultivation, probably brought by Tang Liren as cannon fodder."

"He seems to be saying that the masked woman is more beautiful than Su Lian'er, one of the Six Great Beauties."

"That's simply sensationalizing. If that woman was truly more beautiful than Su Lian'er, she would already be famed throughout the entire Eastern Domain."

...

Everyone around was discussing, all with a look of amusement on their faces.

"Su Lian'er, it seems someone thinks you're not beautiful enough."

At this moment, Xiahou Lie smiled at Su Lian'er from the crowd.

Hearing Xiahou Lie's words, other prominent figures like Lin Jingfeng also turned their gaze towards Su Lian'er, with expressions of interest.

They were all considered the most outstanding young elites in the entire Eastern Domain and were quite familiar with each other.

"A fledgling youth, how many women could he have seen, and how could he know what true beauty is."

Su Lian'er looked coldly at Wang Ruoxie and slowly said.

"Ridiculous, what does whether my friend is beautiful or ugly have to do with you? Why should she remove her veil for you to see?"

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie looked indifferently at the young men in luxurious clothes and said coldly.

"Enough nonsense, either let your friend remove her veil, or admit that your friend is not as beautiful as Su Lian'er and then apologize to Su Lian'er, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

The young man in luxurious clothes said, looking coldly at Wang Ruoxie.

"Indeed, Su Lian'er is a national beauty; how can you insult her? You must apologize to her."

"Su Lian'er is the goddess of our dreams. How can you casually insult her? If you don't apologize, we won't let you go."

...

Many people around opened their mouths to agree, obviously wanting to show off in front of Su Lian'er.

Seeing this scene, Tang Liren's mouth revealed a sneer. Wang Ruoxie had just arrived at Moon Burial Valley and already became the target of everyone. Even if he didn't act, this guy might not be able to return alive.

As for Xiao Ningyue, she just stood there with a smile in her eyes, seemingly quite enjoying the feeling of being defended by people.

"Is that so? Then I want to see how you're going to be impolite."

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently and said to the young man in luxurious clothes.

"Courting death."

The young man in luxurious clothes shouted coldly, and his figure suddenly dashed out, arriving in front of Wang Ruoxie in an instant, directly swinging a punch.

With his Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm cultivation, dealing with a mere Eighth Layer Element Transformation Realm guy was nothing but easy.

He seemed to already see the scene where the opponent would be heavily injured or even killed outright by his punch.

Seeing the incoming punch, Wang Ruoxie's mouth curled into a mocking smile, then he slowly raised his fist to meet it.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, the two fists collided fiercely.

The next moment, everyone saw a figure being directly blasted away, accompanied by a muffled groan.

However, when people clearly saw the face of the person sent flying, their eyes all froze in place.

Almost everyone thought that with this punch, even if Wang Ruoxie wasn't killed outright by the young man in luxurious clothes, he'd certainly be heavily injured.

Therefore, they believed the person who was just blasted away was obviously Wang Ruoxie, but contrary to their expectations, the Ninth Layer Element Transformation Realm young man in luxurious clothes was actually sent flying by Wang Ruoxie, who only had the Eighth Layer cultivation.

"What's going on? How did Zhang Tai get blown away with one punch?"

The other nine people from West Lan Kingdom all showed incredulous expressions.

Though not the strongest among them with Ninth Layer Element Transformation Realm cultivation, Zhang Tai's strength far exceeded that of average Ninth Layer practitioners and yet was so easily defeated by an Eighth Layer youth.

"Could he be a hidden prodigy from East Victory Kingdom?"

"Very likely, only prodigies could achieve such feats with Eighth Layer cultivation punching down a Ninth Layer opponent."

"It seems we underestimated him. He can't be just cannon fodder from East Victory Kingdom, but perhaps a trump card. We must be cautious of him once inside the ruins."

...

The crowd looked at Wang Ruoxie with curious and secretive glances.

Those who previously regarded Wang Ruoxie with disdain now had a hint of dread in their eyes.

"This... how is it possible?"

After stabilizing his footing, Zhang Tai stared at Wang Ruoxie in disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.

That punch just now, though not his full strength, was enough to easily kill an Eighth Layer opponent, and even an average Ninth Layer might not withstand it.

However, his punch not only was effortlessly neutralized but he was also repelled back by an incomparably terrifying force.

What Zhang Tai didn't know was that Wang Ruoxie's punch just then barely used any strength. Otherwise, just one punch could instantly kill him.

Zong Yuzhe, Xiao Ningyue, and others had expected this result, without any surprise.

When Wang Ruoxie was at the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, he already had Half-Step Innate level strength; now that he has advanced to the Eighth Layer, he might not be far off from Innate level.

Tang Liren's expression grew somber; this guy's strength had indeed increased significantly.

"Kid, so what if you're strong? Do you think you can stand against so many of us?"

Zhang Tai looked at Wang Ruoxie coldly and said.

As his voice fell, the other nine West Lan Kingdom individuals, along with those wanting to impress Su Lian'er, all radiated powerful auras, oppressing Wang Ruoxie.

"What, do you think we from East Victory Kingdom are pushovers?"

Tang Liren shouted coldly, stepping forward, releasing a torrential aura to counter the oppressive forces.

His actions were less to help Wang Ruoxie and more because, as the Second Prince of East Victory Kingdom, if he didn't stand out now, it would certainly bring shame to East Victory Kingdom and the Tang Family's Royal Family.

Zong Yuzhe, Ruan Junhao, and others also released strong auras to counter those of Zhang Tai and his companions.

The crowd around watched with amusement, with no one stepping out to stop, obviously waiting for a good show.

"Buzz..."

At this moment, the space suddenly trembled slightly, and then everyone felt a strong fluctuation of aura coming from the crescent-shaped valley ahead.

"The Ancient Ruins have opened, quickly go in."

Faces around were filled with excitement and eagerness as they rushed towards the valley.

"Kid, the Ancient Ruins shall be your resting place."

Zhang Tai said coldly to Wang Ruoxie before turning to head towards the valley.

"Let's go in as well."

Tang Liren said to the others.

Everyone nodded, then stepped out, following the crowd into the valley.

Soon, a total of two hundred people from sixteen kingdoms and five top-level forces entered the Moon Burial Valley.

Their purpose this time was, of course, the Ancient Ruins within the Moon Burial Valley.
