Since it was related to the Youth Emperor Ranking Battle, Tu Dahu couldn't get involved. Although he hadn't been in the Holy Land for long, he knew that it was an unwritten rule.
It was normal for young emperors to compete and challenge each other.
Tu Dahu sent the news back to the pavilion, but Yao Yue remained in seclusion. No one dared to disturb him.
Han Shang happened to have nothing to do. When he heard the news, he took the initiative to share some of the burden with Yao Yue.
Han Shang was ranked second among the ten young emperors. His strength was at the forefront of all the young emperors.
Even the Emperors of the older generation were much inferior in front of him!
Han Shang carried the Snow White Sword on his back and appeared before Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the city, causing them to cry out in alarm.
"White clothes, white hair, white sword … He … He's the Sickly Prince, Han Shang. Why is he here?
Is he here to challenge Yao Yue as well? "
"It's getting more and more lively. Three young emperors have gathered here. If Pavilion Lord Yao Yue is here, I wonder if he'll accept the challenge."
"Before Pavilion Lord Yao Yue became famous, Han Shang was already one of the ten young emperors. He even almost ranked first. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time."
"I heard that the Sickly Prince obtained the inheritance of Great Emperor Mask. Even he is ranked second to Yao Yue. From this, we can see how strong Yao Yue is!"
…
"Han Shang!" Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang became excited when they saw Han Shang.
They had come to challenge Yao Yue because they wanted to rank higher, or even rank first, to prove their strength.
However, Han Shang was second only to Yao Yue. They also wanted to fight against an opponent like him.
"Come at me together," Han Shang said calmly, looking at Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang.
As soon as Han Shang said this, it immediately caused an uproar among the people below!
They all thought that Han Shang was here to challenge Yao Yue, but unexpectedly, he was here to deal with Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang.
Logically speaking, Han Shang's ranking was higher than Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang's, so he shouldn't challenge them. However, the truth was right in front of them, and even Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang were astonished.
Wei Shaoyang shouted excitedly, "Alright, Yao Yue. If you still don't come out, I'll spar with you and see if you are really that strong!"
Feng Luofeng didn't say anything, as if he was going to help Wei Shaoyang, and he was going to be a spectator!
"You're too weak. I say, all of you attack together. Otherwise, you won't have the slightest chance!" As Han Shang spoke, he released the cold air from his body.
The aura of a peak Emperor instantly caused Luo Feng and Wei Shaoyang to reveal astonishment!
They never thought that Han Shang's cultivation level was actually so much higher than theirs!
However, they were not ordinary people. Otherwise, they would not have come to challenge Yao Yue!
Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang glanced at each other and said, "Since you say so, let's fight you!"
After saying that, he began to fully release his strength to resist the terrifying cold air emitted by Han Shang!
The purple lightning around Wei Shaoyang increased in number, and each lightning bolt was like a small purple dragon roaming about!
"Come, you only have one chance to attack. If you miss it, you won't have another chance!" Han Shang said indifferently while holding the White Snow Sword with both hands.
Arrogant and conceited!
These words immediately appeared in the minds of the crowd below.
They all felt that although Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang were ranked lower than Han Shang, the difference in strength shouldn't be too great!
That was why they had such an impression of Han Shang!
However, Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang, who were facing Han Shang, didn't think so.
They felt that Han Shang's strength was bottomless, and it caused their confidence to waver slightly!
"Kill!"
When Luofeng gathered his strength to the peak, the green sword on his back instantly flew out, and a green rainbow flashed across half the sky!
Wei Shaoyang also attacked at this moment. The lightning spear in his hand pointed to the sky, and several flaming thunderbolts were forcefully drawn down by him, making him as terrifying as a real Thunder God!
The green rainbow flashed across the sky, and the heavenly lightning struck furiously!
The two Young Emperors besieged Han Shang with their most powerful moves.
The people below were so scared that they all hid. Their strength was limited, and they weren't strong enough to face the attack of these Young Emperors!
"Light of Cocoon Fire!" Han Shang said disdainfully. His White Snow Sword also slashed out in an instant.
Thousand Miles of Ice!
The absolute power of ice flashed past, and layers of ice crystals immediately appeared, as if the entire sky was completely frozen!
The green rainbow and the heavenly lightning were all frozen by the ice, and the two Young Emperors were directly frozen, unable to move!
When the people below saw this scene, their jaws dropped.
They didn't expect Han Shang to be so powerful. In just one move, he was able to freeze the two Young Emperors!
This was really too powerful, too terrifying!
"With your strength, you want to challenge Boss Yao Yue? You're overestimating yourselves!" Han Shang put away his White Snow Sword and revealed a very disdainful smile.
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and quietly disappeared in a certain direction!
After Han Shang left, those ice crystals lost control and all of them melted away.
Luofeng and Wei Shaoyang regained their breath, curled up their bodies, and left unwillingly with a pale expression!
The blow that Han Shang gave them was not small, and Han Shang's last sentence gave them an even greater blow!
Boss Yao Yue?
Did this mean that Han Shang was willing to be the subordinate of Yao Yue?
Not only them, but everyone in Yue Feng City had this thought!
Later, someone spread the news that Han Shang had joined the Yuefengge and became Yao Yue's subordinate!
This made it even more difficult for them to imagine just how powerful Yao Yue had become.
In the Yuefengge, Yao Yue sat cross-legged beside Xuanwu Lake and continuously absorbed the extremely rich origin energy here.
Yao Yue had returned from the Holy Glacial Lands for a year, but he hadn't taken a single step out of the Yuefengge. He had been cultivating his body and mind all this time, trying his best to eliminate the killing intent in his heart. At the same time, he was also accumulating his strength.
Aside from using the Divine Technique of the Nine Sovereigns to absorb energy, he also swallowed Demonic Cores, causing his strength to rise from the mid-stage Emperor Stage to the late-stage Emperor Stage. This rate of improvement was very obvious!
However, even though his strength had increased, the killing intent in his mind was still there.
Yao Yue opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I'll only be able to get rid of this killing intent after I become a Monarch?"
He sighed softly and jumped into the lake. Standing on the surface of the lake, he began to casually practice his palm techniques!
Only by using the continuous flow of the water could his state of mind become peaceful and calm!
This was also a mental cultivation technique that Yao Yue had discovered after a year of suppressing his killing intent!
His movements were very natural and smooth, as if he was standing in the middle of the lake. He appeared to be very relaxed and carefree!
From time to time, he would gather half of the water and knead it into all kinds of different shapes, creating an extremely mystical sight!
Splash!
Suddenly, the sound of water splashing against the surface of the lake sounded.
This wasn't caused by Yao Yue. Instead, it came from the bottom of the lake!
Yao Yue retracted his hands and retreated. His eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Oi, Phoenix brat, you're always standing on this old turtle's back. You're asking this old turtle to drink the water that you wash your feet with!
Do you believe that this old turtle won't pluck all your feathers? "An old man carrying a turtle shell on his back shouted with dissatisfaction.
"Lord, Lord Black Tortoise!" Yao Yue looked at the old man and exclaimed with joy.
He had never expected that the Black Tortoise, whom he had always wanted to see, was actually in the lake. He had called out to him many times before, but there had been no response!
Now, the Black Tortoise had suddenly appeared, which really surprised him!
"Don't be so surprised. That little fellow over there will also know!" The Black Tortoise stretched his old waist and said.
Just as he finished speaking, he realized that Zhuge Tianji had already walked over quietly.
"Yao Yue, who is this?" Zhuge Tianji asked as he stared at the Black Tortoise.
His eyes were filled with astonishment. He had lived in this area for quite some time, but he hadn't noticed the Black Tortoise's existence. How could he not be surprised?
At the same time, when he looked at the Black Tortoise, he felt as if there was a large amount of chaotic water floating in front of him. He couldn't see through the Black Tortoise at all!
He was already a half-step emperor. If he couldn't see through the Black Tortoise, it could only mean that the Black Tortoise was far stronger than him!
Just as Yao Yue was about to introduce the Black Tortoise, the Black Tortoise said, "Little fellow, don't you always say that there's nothing in the world that you don't know?
How come you don't know this old man? "
Zhuge Tianji was stumped by the Black Tortoise's question. However, he wasn't someone who would compromise easily. He carefully looked at the Black Tortoise, and after a while, he smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, you must be the lord of the Demonic Tortoise Clan!
Perhaps you are the legendary Black Tortoise Clan, right? "
The Black Tortoise raised his eyebrows and said, "Little fellow, you have good eyesight!
However, this old turtle doesn't like you. Stand aside! "
"Hehe, I know that you have some prejudice against me. In that case, I'll take my leave!" Zhuge Tianji cupped his fists and didn't continue to pester the Black Tortoise.
The Black Tortoise snorted and said, "Hmph, don't think that this old turtle doesn't know that you have designs on this old turtle!"
At this time, Yao Yue took the opportunity to ask, "Lord Black Tortoise, when did you return?
Why didn't I know about it? "
"If I let you know, wouldn't it make this old turtle look incompetent?"
The Black Tortoise said disapprovingly. He then continued, "Alright, if there's nothing else, don't disturb my sleep, or I'll pluck all your feathers!
Also, don't let the other little fellows come here, or this old turtle will be very angry! "
After saying that, the Black Tortoise was about to sink into the water.
Yao Yue hurriedly called out, "Lord Black Tortoise, don't be in such a hurry. Let's talk!"
"Talk? What can we talk about?" the Black Tortoise asked.
Yao Yue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Er … I want to ask if you have been to the Jueyao Ridge. Do you have a way to deal with the Blood Devil Ancestor?"
