Seeing that Yun Yuhan had left, Bai Ling glanced at Yan Xi with a malicious look. Standing a few hundred meters away from the Yan family’s team, she deliberately raised her voice and said, “We have to reach the gathering point before noon. We won’t stop and wait for those who are left behind! If some trash can’t make it in time, they’ll be left behind to feed the magical beasts.”

She glared at Yan Xi fiercely.

Yan Xi touched her nose and admired Duanmu Rou’s tactics. She did not know what Duanmu Rou had said to make her give up and find trouble with her.

She looked over with her dark eyes and the corners of her mouth curled up. “In that case, why don’t we compete to see who is faster?”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was shocked and looked over with disdain.

The students from Imperial College, in particular, were scornful.

They had always looked down on the people of Muyun, not to mention that Yan Xi’s identity was special as Yun Yuhan’s fiancée.

Yun Yuhan was the representative of Imperial College this year and the idol of countless students. To them, Yan Xi was a stain on Yun Yuhan’s record.

Apart from Ji San, who was Yun Yuhan’s enemy, most of the others did not like Yan Xi.

“Yan Xi… Don’t let your emotions affect your decisions. I heard that the lowest cultivation realm of this batch of people from Imperial College is the Mystical Learner Realm.” Yan Gu reminded her in a low voice.

A cultivator’s physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people. Every advancement tempered the body of a cultivator.

“Are you sure you want to compete with me?” Bai Ling raised her chin and looked at Yan Xi arrogantly—as if she was laughing at Yan Xi’s overconfidence.

“Since it’s a competition, there’s naturally something at stake.” Yan Xi touched her empty wallet and sighed deeply.

Life was not easy! She was poor!

How could she refuse an opportunity that was delivered to her door?

Bai Ling’s eyes flashed with ill intentions. “You don’t have anything good on you. Why don’t you use yourself as the wager? If you lose, you’ll have to cut off one of your arms.”

The people present gasped in unison.

“What a ruthless person! Yan Xi is already useless. If she loses one of her hands, wouldn’t she be absolutely worthless?”

Yan Zhongshan’s face was tense. He wanted to stop this.

Yan Xi was the first to speak, her black eyes looking over lazily. “Okay. However, there’s an additional condition. The loser not only has to cut off one of their arms but also has to give the other party ten thousand gold coins.”

Hearing this request, the Yan family, who had seen yesterday’s incident with Ji San, were rendered speechless. Yan Xi cared more about money than her life!

Yesterday, she tricked Ji San into looking at her face for ten thousand gold coins, and today, she changed her target!

Bai Ling did not think that she would lose at all. She laughed smugly and said, “You’re the one who asked for it. When the time comes, don’t go back on your word.”

“We’re all watching. No one would dare go back on their word.” Ji San carried his broadsword and grinned, revealing his pearly teeth. The feather earring on his right ear swayed—as if he was extremely entertained. “But you, Bai Ling, don’t try to renege on your debt with your identity as a member of the Bai family. If you don’t pay up, I’ll personally cut off one of your arms.”

Bai Ling’s face turned red with anger. “Why are you helping an outsider?”

“What do you mean by helping outsiders? When did we become a family? Don’t tell me that your family has acknowledged my family as your ancestors without my knowledge?” Ji San clicked his tongue.

Bai Ling was rendered speechless.

Ji San did not mind. A light flashed in his eyes, and he said with great interest, “Besides, I didn’t help her. If Yan Xi loses, I’ll cut off her arm. Isn’t that fair?”

He spread his hands and shrugged.

Everyone immediately understood that the third young master of the Ji family simply wanted some entertainment!

Some of the Yan family’s disciples could not help but look at Yan Xi with sympathy. When they saw Ji San’s attitude towards Yan Xi yesterday, they were still wondering what was wrong with him.

Now it seemed that the other party did not take Yan Xi seriously at all. He just wanted to play with her.

However, when they looked over, they only saw a wooden mask and a pair of lazy black eyes. It was as if nothing around her could affect her.

Even the people who had looked down on Yan Xi had to admire her good attitude.

“Li Qingming, aren’t you going to get the green crystal and guide them? I’m going to fall asleep if I keep standing here. I don’t even know how far Yun Yuhan has gone.” Ji San yawned.

Li Qingming did not mind his attitude. He smiled gently and opened his right hand.

A ray of green light shot out from his hand, and with the infusion of spiritual energy, a spirit artifact that glowed with green light rose from his hand. The outer shell of the spirit artifact’s four corners reassembled, revealing the green crystal inside.

A ray of green light shot out from the crystal and soared into the sky.

Not long after, a ray of light shot up into the sky from the distance.

The two rays of light echoed from afar.

“The other green crystal is in the hands of our teacher. Everyone, just follow the direction of the other green light and you will reach your destination.” Li Qingming’s voice was gentle.

Yan Xi looked at the object in his hand with great interest. It should be a spirit device.

The blacksmiths in Tianqi could use magical beast core crystals and ores to create spirit devices with all sorts of functions. They were not inferior to the high-tech products of her world.

Li Qingming was probably holding a spiritual device that could sense each other’s location.

“Family heads, please set off first. Fly to the meeting point and break the fog barrier with the teachers,” Li Qingming said to the family heads.

The family heads of the five great families were all Mystical Kings.

Once a cultivator reached this realm, they would be able to transform their Profound Qi into wings and grow a pair of wings on their back, allowing them to fly in the air.

“Alright.”

Yesterday, Li Qingming had already discussed this matter with the family heads. The Mystical Kings could fly and head to the depths of the Misty Forest first. The rest of the disciples would be led by the elders and walk to the meeting point.

The heads of the five great families spread out their Profound Qi wings and flew toward the direction of the other green light.

Yan Xi’s eyes were filled with the image of them flapping their wings and flying into the sky. Although she knew that Mystical Kings could fly, the shock of seeing it with her own eyes was completely different.

She stroked her chin, the corners of her lips curved up, and her dark eyes revealed a sharp glint. She clicked her tongue and sighed. “One day, I will also get to fly.”

Although she was once the head of the ancient Yan family, the martial arts inheritance of her world was broken, and the spiritual energy was shallow. Although she had cultivated to the highest realm, she could not fly in the air.

Hearing Yan Xi’s “bold and heroic words”, other than Yan Gu and Yan Chushi, the people around them could not help but roll their eyes. Some people even laughed out loud.

“Hahaha! A piece of trash wants to fly? Do you think that you can become a Mystical King just because you want to?” Bai Ling could not help but say with a disdainful look. “You really like to talk big. Even we don’t dare say such things. However, you really have some guts to say whatever comes to your stupid head!”
