"Competitors of Cloud Sky City, step forward!" Yang Yan shouted.
Immediately, four people stepped forward.
Ximen Yan, Ximen Nu, Ximen Ju, and Yang Dingtian!
The scale of the Cloud Sky City Lord's Grand Duel was much smaller than the previous one.
Last time, there were more than ten people participating, or it could be said that Ximen Wuya fought against more than ten experts.
This time, there were only four people participating.
Three of Ximen Wuya's adopted sons and a son-in-law.
Actually, there was one more person who definitely had the qualifications to participate in the Grand Duel, and that was Ximen Lie.
As Ximen Wuya's most outstanding adopted son, it was perfectly justifiable for him to become the successor of Cloud Sky City.
If he participated in the Grand Duel, he would take a lot of pressure off Yang Dingtian.
Previously, Madam Ximen and Yanyan had mentioned this tactic, but they were rejected by Yang Dingtian.
"Verify your identity!" Yang Yan shouted.
"Member of Cloud Sky City's Elder Association, Chief of Internal Affairs, Ximen Ju!"
"Member of Cloud Sky City's Elder Association, Abyss Castle Commander, Ximen Nu!"
"Member of Cloud Sky City's Elder Association, Blood Cavalry Commander, Ximen Yan!"
After Ximen Yan proudly introduced himself, Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Ximen Yan to become a member of the Elder Association and the Blood Cavalry Commander.
On the surface, he seemed to be on the same level as Ximen Lie, but everyone knew that he was just a puppet.
Yang Dingtian took a step forward and said, "Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian!"
This self-introduction caused a burst of laughter.
This was because the first four people had said their prominent positions, while Yang Dingtian was just a rookie in Cloud Sky City. His identity as Ximen Wuya's son-in-law couldn't be considered a position.
After the four of them reported their identities, the Elder Association of Cloud Sky City verified their identities.
However, this was just a procedure. These four people, especially Yang Dingtian, could be recognized even if they were burned to ashes.
"The verification is complete. The duel begins and the lots are officially drawn!" Yang Yan said.
Yang Dingtian suddenly stood up and said, "Please wait!"
Immediately, everyone raised their heads.
Yang Yan and the others frowned, not knowing what Yang Dingtian was up to. Yang Yan said with a frown, "Do not casually interrupt the Arbitration Council. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the competition."
"I'm just pointing out some mistakes," Yang Dingtian said coldly.
"Speak!" Yang Yan said coldly.
"Firstly, may I ask Cloud Sky City's Elder Council if Commander Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen's qualifications to join the Elder Council were not revoked during the previous Tiandō League Northwest Conference?"
Yang Dingtian asked, "Didn't Young Master Wu Ming say that it was illegal for Cloud Sky City to expel Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen from Cloud Sky City?"
Yang Yan's expression changed.
In particular, Qin Huaiyu's expression instantly became extremely ugly.
Damn it, wasn't that bullshit Young Master Wu Ming yourself? This is a huge matter. Once it's exposed, there won't be a place for you, Yang Dingtian, in this world. Now, you're actually recklessly bringing it up?
"That's right. I didn't say that Ximen Lie and Yang Peipei were expelled from Cloud Sky City," Yang Yan said.
"Then in this Martial Arts Arbitration Council, shouldn't there be a spot for Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Yang Yan's expression instantly became extremely ugly and was about to scold him.
Suddenly, Qin Huaiyu's gaze shot over.
Yang Yan hurriedly bowed towards the VIP seats and said, "May the Tiandō League Northwest Conference make a decision!"
The Sky Wind Pavilion Sect Master and the surrounding Tiandō League members looked at each other and nodded.
Yang Yan said, "Add two more spots for Yang Peipei and Ximen Lie to join the Martial Arts Arbitration Council!"
After saying that, Yang Yan's mouth revealed a cold smile.
He felt that Yang Dingtian's actions were laughable and pointless. Could it be that he would win and stand up alive?
What a joke!
Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen entered the Martial Arts Arbitration Council.
Yang Yan frowned and said, "Let the drawing of lots begin!"
"Hold it!" Yang Dingtian shouted.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of people in the hall were shocked.
Yang Yan's expression turned cold as he coldly scolded, "Yang Dingtian, shut up. Don't think that we won't dare to disqualify you."
Yang Dingtian laughed mockingly, "Don't worry, you won't."
Of course they wouldn't. They still wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of this scourge, Yang Dingtian, in broad daylight.
Then, Yang Dingtian ignored Yang Yan's reaction and walked to the VIP seats. He bowed and said, "Reporting, Tiandō League Northwest Branch.
Wooden Sword Castle is a member of the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty-Seven Branches. Tiandō League.
Castle Lord Li Guinong came to Cloud Sky City to observe the ceremony. Shouldn't he be seated in the VIP seats? "
Once these words came out, the faces of the people in the VIP seats became slightly awkward and angry.
That's right, the Wooden Sword Castle was in dire straits now. They were worse than a countryside force.
But they were still a member of the Twenty-Seven Branches and Tiandō League.
A few hundred years ago, they were even one of the leaders of the Tiandō League.
They couldn't treat them coldly when they were in dire straits and not even give them a seat.
The Sky Wind Pavilion Master stood up and saluted Li Guinong, "My apologies, Senior Brother Li, I didn't see you earlier."
Then, the Sky Wind Pavilion Master ordered an extra seat in the VIP seats. Li Guinong sat in the most prominent seat of the day.
Coincidentally, he sat directly beside Qin Huaiyu.
At this moment, Yang Yan's complexion was extremely unsightly. Yang Dingtian had repeatedly ruined the drawing of lots, causing his prestige to be swept to the ground.
"Yang Dingtian, can we begin?
What else do you have to say? "Yang Yan said coldly.
"No, please!" Yang Dingtian returned to his seat.
"The drawing of lots has officially begun!"
Yang Yan said coldly, "The rules are the same as the previous martial contest. One of the lots is the stage master, and the rest are the challengers, from number one to three.
The person who draws the stage master's lot will take turns to accept the challenges of all the opponents on the stage until they are defeated.
The winner will automatically become the new stage master.
The last person to stand on the stage will become the new Cloud Sky City Lord! "
When this rule was announced, the crowd was in an uproar!
This was too cruel. It was simply a tag-team battle!
That's right, it was a tag-team battle.
This rule was tailor-made for Ximen Wuya by the Yang clan. It couldn't be described as shameless.
Moreover, they had prepared more than a dozen challengers for Ximen Wuya, each stronger than the last.
Not only that, they even schemed to frame Ximen Wuya and poison him, weakening his cultivation.
But even so, Ximen Wuya still defeated more than a dozen challengers with incomparable valiance.
He won the martial contest and became the first city lord to defy the heavens in more than two hundred years.
This time, Yang Yan and the rest were considered kind. They only prepared three challengers for Yang Dingtian.
However, this was also a form of disdain. They felt that Yang Dingtian and Yang Dingtian were worlds apart. Three challengers were more than enough to kill Yang Dingtian.
With regards to Yang Dingtian's cultivation, they were extremely clear about it.
One month ago, in the Dongli Grassland, Yang Dingtian was completely defeated by Dugu Fengwu and didn't have the slightest ability to retaliate.
…
After the Tiandō League Chairman checked the lot, the drawing of lots began!
Many people present held their breaths and waited for the result of the drawing of lots.
Yang Dingtian went forward and casually drew a lot before handing it over to Yang Yan.
The result of this drawing of lots was certain. Yang Dingtian would definitely get the stage master position!
Yang Yan opened the lot and flipped it over to show it to everyone. He then announced loudly, "Yang Dingtian has drawn the lot, Stage Master!"
"Hush …" Instantly, countless people below booed.
Yang Dingtian also sneered. Regarding the shamelessness of Yang Yan and the rest, no matter how high their estimation was, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Of course, on the surface, this was very fair and transparent.
All the lots had been carefully examined.
These lots were all made of energy crystals. If one wanted to cheat, it was really too easy.
Following that, Ximen Yan and the rest drew lots even more blatantly.
Ximen Yan drew the first challenger.
Ximen Nu drew the second challenger.
Ximen Ju drew the third challenger.
It was a completely undisguised battle of attrition from low to high.
The tens of thousands of people present booed unceasingly!
Cloud Heaven City's way of eating was simply too unsightly.
Yang Yan's expression was cold as he said to Yang Dingtian and the rest, "Do you have any objections to the result of the drawing of lots?"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Ximen Yan, Ximen Nu, and Ximen Ju said at the same time.
Yang Yan's gaze landed coldly on Yang Dingtian's face and said in a cold voice, "Yang Dingtian, do you have any objections?"
Immediately, everyone's gazes all looked at Yang Dingtian, waiting for him to peel off Yang Yan's face again.
The corners of Yang Dingtian's mouth revealed a mocking smile as he shook his head and said, "I have no objections!"
"If you have no objections, then stand on the stage!" Yang Yan said.
… …
The stage was in the center of the huge plaza.
Paved with huge stones, after dozens of steps, the stage was more than ten meters high and about 500 square meters in area!
Yang Dingtian stepped onto the stage step by step!
Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian who was walking up step by step and had a very strange feeling. Yang Dingtian seemed to not be competing, but ascending to the throne as a king.
He walked to the center of the stage.
Suddenly, the tens of thousands of warriors below cheered in unison.
"Long live City Lord Yang Dingtian!"
"Long live Yang Dingtian!"
In the beginning, it was only the Black Blood Cavalry that was shouting. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian's 500 new direct subordinates also started to shout. Subsequently, most of the martial artists in Cloud Heaven City also started to shout. Finally, almost all the martial artists were shouting.
Anyway, the law can't punish the masses.
Most of the people sitting in the plaza were basic level warriors.
They yearned for the legend of Yang Dingtian's rise very much.
If they were previously filled with jealousy towards Yang Dingtian because he had married Ximen Yanyan, they were now filled with jealousy.
But now, this jealousy had almost disappeared. They only felt that Yang Dingtian was like their spokesperson. From the weakest martial artist, he had walked to the peak of this world. This feeling made them empathize with him!
Hearing everyone cheering for Yang Dingtian, the faces of Yang Yan and the rest turned ugly.
"Let him be proud for a while. In any case, he will definitely die today," Tang Bozhao said coldly.
In terms of hatred towards Yang Dingtian, no one present could surpass Tang Bozhao. His son and daughter, whether directly or indirectly, had died in the hands of Yang Dingtian. He really wished he could skin Yang Dingtian alive.
"Challenger number one, go!" Yang Yan said.
Ximen Yan bowed towards the VIP seats and gently bounced. He landed lightly on the contest stage and stood ten meters in front of Yang Dingtian.
"Draw your sword, you bastard picked up."
Ximen Yan said coldly, "Originally, you should have died under my sword more than a year ago. Killing you today can be considered letting you off too easily."
When he said more than a year ago, he was obviously referring to when they were at sea.
"A year and a half ago, you bastard used despicable means to defeat Qin Shaobai.
You used the power of heaven and earth to break through from a Novice Warrior to a Xuan Martial Artist and steal the title of a peerless genius. "
Ximen Yan sneered and said, "I want to see how strong a peerless genius like you has been in this year and a half.
Because there won't be a second Yin Yang Festival for you to take advantage of.
Did a peerless genius like you break through to the Great Xuan Martial Master? "
Ximen Yan actually did not know his cultivation. Qin Huaiyu clearly knew, so Ximen Ju definitely knew as well.
However, he did not tell Ximen Yan. Immediately, Yang Dingtian looked at Ximen Yan like an idiot.
"In this year and a half, I have already broken through from a nine star Martial Profound to a two star Martial Ancestor. Tell me, how do you want to die?" Ximen Yan slowly drew his sword.
Yang Dingtian looked at Ximen Yan with a gaze filled with pity.
This idiot was clearly a cannon fodder that Ximen Ju and Yang Yan pushed out to die.
"Yang Dingtian, draw your sword!" Ximen Yan shouted.
Yang Dingtian raised his sword and said indifferently, "Against trash like you, there is no need to draw my sword!
Your blood is not enough for my sharp blade to drink! "
Hearing Yang Dingtian's humiliating words, Ximen Yan was enraged and roared, "Die!"
Then, he held his large sword and ferociously charged towards Yang Dingtian!
