Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin continued to walk forward, although there were many items for sale at the surrounding stalls, they were completely uninterested.

After all, these stalls mostly belonged to ordinary martial cultivators, and the treasure resources they put up for trade could hardly compare to theirs.

Especially Tang Miaoyin, who was once the Seventh Princess of the Royal Family and now an Inner Sect disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect, was certainly not someone these ordinary martial cultivators could compare to.

"In this Star Hall, aside from the trading area, there is also a gambling arena. There, not only can you hone your strength, but you can also earn money. For the average martial cultivator, it's quite a good place to go."

Tang Miaoyin said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Gambling arena?"

Wang Ruoxie heard this and couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

"Yes, it is also called the gambling platform. Many unknown individuals have gained fame through this gambling platform."

Tang Miaoyin slightly nodded and continued, "The Hidden Dragon List, you should know about it, right?"

"Yes."

Wang Ruoxie nodded. He had heard about the so-called Hidden Dragon List from Xiao Ningyue, the people on the list were all outstanding gifted experts among the young generation of East Victory Kingdom.

"With your current strength, you should be enough to enter the top two hundred, or rank even higher."

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie and said with a smile, "Once you break through to the Element Transformation Realm, I bet you can directly challenge for the top hundred."

"Could this gambling platform be related to the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Wang Ruoxie asked Tang Miaoyin; he wasn't much concerned with the so-called Hidden Dragon List's ranking, and the Element Transformation Realm was not his ultimate goal.

He believed that within a year, he would definitely break through to the Innate Realm, stepping into the Celestial Human Realm.

"Indeed, in fact, the Hidden Dragon List is devised and published by the Star Hall."

Tang Miaoyin nodded, saying, "The Star Universe Pavilion, which is a branch of the Star Hall, is spread throughout East Victory Kingdom, and its intelligence agency is very powerful. It can almost collect and organize the information on every gifted expert in the shortest time, and then produce the latest Hidden Dragon List."

"The Hidden Dragon List is updated every half month, and I fear your name should already be on it."

Upon hearing Tang Miaoyin's words, Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly, then asked, "I wonder, Seventh Princess, what rank you hold on this Hidden Dragon List?"

"One hundred and sixty-third."

Tang Miaoyin smiled slightly, replying.

With a cultivation of the Second Layer of Element Transformation Realm, she ranked one hundred and sixty-third on the Hidden Dragon List, which indeed warranted pride.

Many martial cultivators in the Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm cannot even enter the top two hundred.

Wang Ruoxie defeated her in a platform battle, naturally ranking above her, and entering the top one hundred and fifty was not impossible.

"Wang Ruoxie, I did not expect you would still dare to come to the Royal City. It seems you are really seeking your own death."

Just at this moment, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.

Wang Ruoxie's eyes slightly narrowed, then he turned his gaze to see four young men parting the crowd and appearing before him.

"Do you know them?"

Tang Miaoyin slightly frowned, asking Wang Ruoxie.

"I don't."

Wang Ruoxie shook his head. It was his first time in the Royal City, naturally, he couldn't have made enemies.

Moreover, these four individuals were quite unfamiliar, obviously never seen before.

"Zhu An from the Zhu Family offers his greetings to the Seventh Princess."

Zhu An looked at Tang Miaoyin with eyes blazing with fervor, then cupped his hands in a salute.

"Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, Lou Xing, offer their greetings to the Seventh Princess."

Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, and Lou Xing also excitedly bowed to Tang Miaoyin in unison.

"Members of the Zhu Family,"

Tang Miaoyin's gaze landed on Zhu An. Although the Zhu Family was not one of the Six Great Clans of the Royal City, it was a family that had been passed down for over a hundred years, and its foundation was far beyond the average family.

"The Zhu Family? Don't tell me…"

Wang Ruoxie's eyes flashed with coldness. As far as he knew, the first lady was surnamed Zhu, it seemed Zhu An must be related to the first lady's family.

Zhu An came with ill intentions, and directly aimed at him, he must want revenge for Wang Ruokun, if so, he won't show mercy.

"My cousin Wang Ruokun is your biological older brother, yet you dealt him a heavy blow at the clan meeting, crippling his cultivation—a maddening act, today I, as his cousin, demand an explanation."

Shifting his gaze, Zhu An coldly said to Wang Ruoxie.

"This guy even dares commit fratricide, he's worse than a beast."

"Seventh Princess, people like this scum should avoid associating with him."

"This kind of animal deserves a thousand cuts."

Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, and Lou Xing also began cursing in unison.

"Zhu An, it's best to have your lackeys shut their filthy mouths lest they spray spit and befoul the ears of the Seventh Princess."

Wang Ruoxie coldly stared at Zhu An, slowly emitting an indifferent voice.

"Courting death."

"Brother Zhu, how about I slaughter him."

"Ignorant fool, dare humiliate us like this."

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Yu Feng and the others' faces instantly darkened tremendously.

Although their families were attached to the Zhu Family, and they had been following Zhu An, calling them lackeys wouldn't be much of an exaggeration, yet how could they endure such humiliation from others.

Beside Wang Ruoxie, Tang Miaoyin displayed a faintly amused look in her eyes. She had no intention of standing up for Wang Ruoxie.

She knew, although Zhu An possessed Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm cultivation, and the three, Yu Feng and others, all had Second Layer cultivation, Wang Ruoxie could still manage this problem himself.

Moreover, she wanted to see how Wang Ruoxie would handle this situation.

"Wang Ruoxie, it's inconvenient to fight here, do you dare to join me on the gambling platform?"

Zhu An coldly said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently, replying.

After a pause, he continued, "However, if you wish to fight me, you must first put up some stakes."

"What kind of stakes do you want?"

Zhu An sneered slightly, inwardly thinking that if there were stakes, killing this fellow would not only avenge his cousin but also bring benefits, why wouldn't he do it?

"One thousand lower-grade spirit stones."

Wang Ruoxie said.

"What...one thousand lower-grade spirit stones?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around had their eyes slightly narrowed. For these ordinary martial cultivators, it was simply astronomical and perhaps unattainable in a lifetime.

"Ridiculous, can you take out one thousand lower-grade spirit stones?"

Zhu An's expression also changed slightly, even as the Zhu Family heir, he couldn't produce so many lower-grade spirit stones.

"I said it because I can indeed provide them, moreover, even if I don't have them, the Seventh Princess would lend them to me."

Wang Ruoxie smiled at Tang Miaoyin, saying.

"If you require, I can lend you even more lower-grade spirit stones,"

Tang Miaoyin said with a charming smile.

"Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, Lou Xing, lend me the spirit stones on you three, once I kill this fellow and collect the one thousand lower-grade spirit stones, I'll pay you back double."

Zhu An turned his head, saying to Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, and Lou Xing.

"Alright."

Yu Feng and the three did not hesitate, directly nodding.

In their eyes, Wang Ruoxie's Ninth Layer Cultivation in the Energy-Introducing Realm was no match for Zhu An.
