“What do you want to bet?” Ji Qinglan frowned.

“Hmm, let me think. Today is the recruitment day for our Hundred Sects. And our Qingyun Sect lacks disciples now. How about this? If you lose, you will join the Qingyun Sect! If I lose, you can decide for me. You can even take my life!” Li Yu said with a smile.

“Your Highness must not agree!” The cold-looking woman, who followed behind Ji Qinglan earlier, immediately stopped him as her face darkened.

She was confident that Ji Qinglan’s capability was sufficient to defeat Li Yu.

Furthermore, with the help of that sword immortal’s remnant soul, even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator might not be Ji Qinglan’s match.

However, when she observed the expressions of Li Yu and the surrounding people, she felt that their smiles were rather strange.

Therefore, she kept feeling uneasy.

After Li Yu gave his conditions, a commotion broke out among the surrounding crowd.

The excitement on their faces intensified!

Li Yu’s program had a terrific entertainment effect!

To turn the competition into a bet, while the stakes were really high!

If Li Yu won and Ji Qinglan refused to enter the Qingyun Sect, Ji Qinglan would be going back on his word. He would be ridiculed by the world.

The Xi Liang Dynasty he represented would also be humiliated.

If he entered the Qingyun Sect, it would be another form of embarrassment to the Xi Liang Dynasty as well.

The thought of a prince from Xi Liang, the peerless genius ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, who eventually entered the Great Xia Dynasty’s Qingyun Sect, sounded humiliating enough.

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely be a blow and disgraceful for the Xi Liang Dynasty.

This was what everyone liked to see.

Furthermore, becoming a Qingyun Sect disciple was equivalent to Ji Qinglan bidding farewell to mortal life from now on.

He might even become a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the throne of the Xi Liang Dynasty would have nothing to do with him.

Everyone could not help but look at the 3000 Physique Rankings that bothered them.

If Ji Qinglan’s background became Qingyun Sect, it would be much more comfortable to look at.

Li Yu’s words made Ji Qinglan hesitate. If he lost, he might really have to enter their sect. This was simply a disgrace.

No, he’s just trying to use this strange bet to shake my will to win.

It must be a psychological tactic to make me give up fighting him because I’m afraid of failure. I can’t be tricked!

Ji Qinglan thought this way.

“Yo, so you’re scared now. You dare to challenge our Great Xia Dynasty with this little ability!” Li Yu provoked.

“I think he just wouldn’t dare. The Xi Liang Dynasty’s number one on the Hidden Dragon Rankings isn’t much after all!”

“Yeah, why don’t you just admit defeat!”

“Hurry up and get down. Stop embarrassing yourself here. He has already dared to bet on his life, so what are you hesitating for? Coward!”

The crowd began to boo as they watched the show.

Although Ji Qinglan could cope mentally, he was naturally annoyed to be mocked by that many people.

Furthermore, he did not think that he would lose. Instead, he felt that Li Yu was putting up a bluff to conceal his weakness.

“Humph, why wouldn’t I dare? But I’m not interested in your life!” Ji Qinglan said coldly.

“Then what do you want?” Li Yu asked.

“Chongming Bird!” Ji Qinglan said. He was most irritated about the additional reward that the Heavenly Dao Rankings had bestowed on Li Yu.

Therefore, he decided to snatch the Chongming Bird from Li Yu’s hands today.

“Okay! Deal!” Li Yu agreed readily and immediately jumped on the platform. “Come, let’s begin!”

“Your Highness…” The cool lady still tried to persuade him.

However, Ji Qinglan waved his hand and said sternly, “Yu Feng, stop it. I won’t lose!”

“Haha, you hear that, everyone? If Ji Qinglan loses, he must enter our Qingyun Sect. If I lose, the Chongming Bird rewarded by the Heavenly Dao Rankings will belong to Ji Qinglan!” Li Yu repeated the bet and spoke with a clear voice.

“That’s right, indeed. We all heard it!” Everyone agreed.

“Ji Qinglan, you have no objections, right?” Li Yu looked at Ji Qinglan again.

“No objections!” Ji Qinglan snapped coldly.

“Your Highness, please be our witness again!” Li Yu looked at Murong Xingqiao below the stage.

“Very well!” Murong Xingqiao nodded with a smile.

She was also in a good mood.

She knew that Li Yu would win. In a while, she would witness how Ji Qinglan would resolve the situation after he lost.

Thinking about how the Xi Liang Dynasty’s most powerful prince was also the most qualified candidate for the future crown prince—if Ji Qinglan really entered a sect from the Great Xia Dynasty, that would be interesting!

Of course, she knew that this matter was not that simple. Nonetheless, today’s competition would become an indelible stain on Ji Qinglan and even the Xi Liang Dynasty.

“Hehe, this is going to be fun!” Yi Caidie’s eyes were smiling, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

“Alright, let’s begin!” Li Yu curled his finger at Ji Qinglan.

“Aren’t you going to draw your sword?” Ji Qinglan held the Reverse Scale Sword and asked in a low voice.

“I don’t need a sword to deal with you!” Li Yu smiled calmly. Though this smile was full of mockery in Ji Qinglan’s eyes.

“Anyone can brag. Let’s see if you have what it takes!” Ji Qinglan roared and attacked first.

As he swung his sword, sword Qi rampaged, transforming into countless sword shadows that filled the entire arena.

It was as if it wanted to tear apart the sky, making it impossible to dodge.

His gaze was sharper than a sword, and his aura was more oppressive than the sword ray.

He was locked onto Li Yu, and he didn’t give Li Yu the slightest chance to dodge!

At that moment, Li Yu remained on the spot, yet his voice sounded like a ghost from behind Ji Qinglan.

“You’ve lost!”

Swoosh!

Ji Qinglan’s hair instantly stood on end, but before he could react, the Reverse Scale Sword in his hand was snatched away by Li Yu.

At the same time, his entire body was blasted away by an extremely terrifying force.

With a bang, it smashed heavily onto the array formation light screen.

In the end, he fell off the stage with a bang.

The entire process was like a glimpse of a white colt flashing past a chink in a wall.

It was so quick that the audience below the stage did not even see what had happened. And Ji Qinglan was already lying below the platform.

“…”

After a brief silence, the entire square was lit up.

Ji Qinglan lay on the ground, startled, with eyes empty.

He was like a salted fish!

“Your Highness, are you alright?!” Yu Feng rushed over immediately and helped Ji Qinglan up.

However, Ji Qinglan’s soul seemed to have been punched out and had not returned.

His eyes were glazed, and his expression was wooden as he kept muttering, “Impossible, impossible!”

“Oh my, Li Yu is too powerful!”

“This is too unbelievable. Ji Qinglan got defeated just like that!”

“Li Yu’s strength is absolutely ridiculous!”

Countless people who had witnessed Li Yu’s capability for the first time exclaimed in admiration.

However, after their shock, some complaints sounded.

“This is the fastest showdown in history, right? In the freaking blink of an eye, Ji Qinglan was defeated!”

“Hey, hey, did anyone see what just happened?”

“And that’s it? I didn’t see anything!”

“This is it? F*ck, this Ji Qinglan is too useless. I came all the way here, and you’re finished in one second!”

“That’s right, he’s even more useless than my toothpick!”

Waves of complaints echoed in the square like a tsunami.

As for those from the various sects and large families who had long known Li Yu’s strength, they could not contain their excitement after witnessing Li Yu defeat Ji Qinglan in one move.

Particularly when they saw Ji Qinglan doubting his life with that expression, they could not help but find it funny.

It proved how great a blow and shock Li Yu brought to Ji Qinglan.

The high-spirited, confident, and proud Xi Liang prince.

The prodigy who had never tasted defeat while challenging the geniuses of various countries.

The same man could not even withstand a single strike from Li Yu before he was sent off the stage.

The shadow of this trauma might be larger than the Huaxia continent.
