At this moment, Chu Xiu walked over.
Although she did not know how Xu Yan had suddenly become so powerful, this was not the time to think about it.
But now was not the time to think about this. She understood Yan Yue's character too well. If she wanted her to apologize, she might as well let her die!
Therefore, she could only take her place to beg Xu Yan for mercy. After all, Yan Yue was looking for trouble with Xu Yan because of her.
Chu Xiu did not feel comfortable begging for mercy from a scum who had taken liberties with her in the past.
Even though the past grudges had been cleared, her impression of Xu Yan still carried a bit of hatred.
"Xu Yan, this matter is all my fault. It's because of me that I came to target you. I apologize, I'm sorry!"
After Chu Xiu finished speaking, she bowed to Xu Yan.
Hearing Chu Xiu's apology, Xu Yan felt that in this world, Xu Yan's true spirit obsession, everything related to Chu Xiu had disappeared!
Only the pure true spirit was left!
He did not expect that this would work!
Looks like this true spirit obsession was rather rigid!
In the future, he could think of ways to cheat.
"Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for her." After speaking, Xu Yan released his hand and let go of Yan Yue's arm.
Xu Yan's current mood was rather good. Originally, he only wanted to make a name for himself, but he did not expect to complete the other half of the obsession. What a pleasant surprise!
Now that the Heaven Leaderboard's Yan Zhongtian had appeared, Xu Yan did not need to hold on to Yan Yue anymore.
What Xu Yan should do now was to use Yan Zhongtian to ask where the current Heaven Leaderboard's number one was.
Now, as long as he defeated the Heaven Leaderboard's number one, Xu Yan would be able to complete the obsession mission and perfectly absorb the remaining true spirit!
…
In a remote courtyard in the outskirts of Rivertown.
In a pavilion in the courtyard, Xu Yan and Yan Zhongtian sat opposite each other.
"Little friend Xu Yan, do you think this place is peaceful?"
Earlier in Drunken Cloud Restaurant, there were too many people and it was not convenient to discuss matters. Therefore, Yan Zhongtian took the initiative to change the location.
"Peaceful!
Not only is it quiet, but the scenery is also exceptionally beautiful. Brother Yan really knows how to find a place! "
Xu Yan looked around. The bamboo forest was quiet and the flowers were blooming. It was a good place to relax.
"Haha!
This is my favorite courtyard. I usually chat with my brothers here. "Yan Zhongtian accepted all of Xu Yan's praises without hesitation.
"Oh?
Could it be that he's in the top five of the Heaven Leaderboard? "Xu Yan asked curiously.
"Of course!
There's no one else in this world that I can call elder brother other than them! "
Yan Zhongtian was not modest at all, but there was also no need for him to be modest. To be able to be ranked sixth in the world, other than the few people in front of him, no one else was worthy!
"Then, can Brother Yan contact the number one on the Dao Heaven Ranking?" Xu Yan asked.
"Number one on the Heaven Leaderboard, Old Man Zheng?
Why are you looking for him?
His whereabouts have been strange recently. I don't know where he went. "
When Yan Zhongtian heard Xu Yan's words, he felt that it was strange. Could it be that this Xu Yan was related to old man Zheng?
Was he a disciple that he took in outside?
"To be honest, I want to defeat him directly and become number one in the world!"
Xu Yan directly spoke the truth. He was not worried that Yan Zhongtian would not believe him. After all, his speed at the Drunken Cloud Inn was already at the level of a Martial Saint.
"You're looking for him because of this?" Yan Zhongtian was a little depressed. "You don't need to defeat him to become number one in the world!"
“？？
You don't need it? "
Xu Yan was a little confused. If he did not defeat him, how would he know who was stronger?
"Yes, there's no need at all. The Heaven Leaderboard is different from the other leaderboards. As long as you use your full strength, Bu Tian Pavilion will be able to observe your strength and rank you according to your strength."
"There's no need for a real battle because the strength of the Martial Saints at the top are about the same. If they really fight, there's no way to determine the winner."
After hearing Yan Zhongtian's explanation, Xu Yan heaved a sigh of relief. "So it's like that!
Then I'm relieved! "
Xu Yan and Yan Zhongtian chatted until night fell and directly stayed in the guest room next door. They agreed to go see the leaderboard together tomorrow morning.
… …
Early the next morning, Xu Yan and Yan Zhongtian set off.
Because the leaderboard for the new month would be announced on the first of every month, before the sun rose, they had to wake up early to see the leaderboard.
When Xu Yan and Yan Zhongtian arrived at the city wall where the leaderboard was released, it was already packed with people.
The plaza in front of the city wall was completely blocked. They could not even squeeze in!
Seeing Xu Yan's frown, Yan Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, we don't need to squeeze in with them!"
Yan Zhongtian pointed to the observation deck next to the plaza and said, "That's a place specially prepared for us Martial Saints. We can just go up and take a look."
After saying that, Yan Zhongtian's figure turned into an illusion and rushed up to the observation deck.
Xu Yan followed suit. His figure turned blurry and he also rushed up to the observation deck.
When Xu Yan arrived at the observation deck, he realized that there was already someone there.
This person has white hair and a youthful complexion. His white hair casually draped over his shoulders, making him look somewhat casual.
Seeing this person, Yan Zhongtian smiled and said, "Old Zhu, I didn't expect you to come too!"
"I had nothing to do so I came to take a look at the leaderboard." Old Zhu looked at Xu Yan behind him and said, "Who is he?
Why did you let him come up?
Don't forget our agreement. "
"Don't worry, I remember!
Only Martial Saints can come up to this observation deck. No one else is allowed to enter! "
"Then why did you …" Old Zhu suddenly understood something and looked at Xu Yan in disbelief, "Could it be that he …"
"Yes, he's already a Martial Saint!
The youngest Martial Saint in history! "
Yan Zhongtian said proudly, as if he was talking about himself, "His name is Xu Yan. I met him yesterday."
"Xu Yan, this is senior Zhu Gongda who is ranked third on the Heavenly Leaderboard!" Yan Zhongtian turned around and introduced to Xu Yan.
"Junior Xu Yan greets senior Zhu Gongda!" Xu Yan cupped his fists and said.
"You're already a Martial Saint at such a young age. Your future is truly limitless!"
Zhu Gongda looked at Xu Yan and praised.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Xu Yan said modestly.
"Don't be so modest. If you don't dare, then wouldn't us old fellows be ashamed and hide in the ground?" Zhu Gongda teased.
… …
Time slowly passed by as they chatted.
On the eastern horizon, the sun gradually peeked out and the first ray of golden sunlight shone on the earth.
The leaderboard is about to be released!
A strong figure appeared on the city wall. He carried two large scrolls and a small scroll on his shoulder.
First is the Mortal Leaderboard. The long scroll fell down from the city wall and names appeared on it.
Next is the Earth Leaderboard. Like the Mortal Leaderboard, it is also a long scroll. The scroll is densely packed with names. If one stands a little further away, they won't be able to see it clearly.
This can't be helped. After all, the Mortal Leaderboard and Earth Leaderboard have 500 names. They can only write smaller names.
