The old man in brocade clothes, upon hearing that Guo Yi was the successor of the heavenly doctor, immediately showed great respect and knelt down to request Guo Yi to go to Huadu Holy City to treat Bai Taigong.
Guo Yi didn't know any medical skills, so he could only hurry to help him up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Old man, get up first and then talk, I really can't bear to see you kneeling like this."
"Master, have you agreed to go to Huadu Holy City to treat my family's old master?" The old man in brocade clothes had moist eyes and looked at Guo Yao eagerly.
Kuo Yeh smiled wryly and nodded, saying: "I'll do my best."
"This is great, I'll send a message to Huadu Holy City immediately. If the master of the house knows that the successor of Tianyi has arrived, he will definitely dispatch many powerful experts to welcome him."
The old man in brocade clothes was overjoyed, stood up and bowed three times to Guo Yao, then ordered a beautiful maid to lead Guo Yao and Hong Xiangyin into the palace, saying: "You must serve the young master wholeheartedly."
After handing over these matters, he hastily walked out of the palace.
After entering the palace, all that could be seen were spirit lamps emitting brilliant light on both sides. In the center was a gigantic spirit wine pool, one hundred meters square in size. Above the wine pool floated strands of divine and extraordinary wine vapor. Some of these vapors resembled coiled dragons, some were like qilin, and others looked like lotus flowers... There were over a thousand strands of vapor, each with different shapes, simply incomparably marvelous.
In the palace, a jade table was placed, on each jade table there were two bronze wine cups and two jade seats, while the large wine pool was surrounded in the center.
Guo Yi and the two of them stepped into the palace, immediately attracting everyone's attention. However, they were not paying attention to Guo Yi, but rather to Hong Xiangyin who was holding his arm.
Hong Xiang's voice was charming without being overly flirtatious, elegant without losing its refinement, and instantly overshadowed the various princesses and young ladies present.
A young master of the prefecture saw Guo Yao standing beside Hong Xiangyin and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "What a beautiful flower, yet it's planted next to a thatched hut."
"If you're interested, just get rid of this little brat later and the beauty will be yours?" Another young master beside him laughed.
"How dare you say you're not moved by her, this is a heavenly beauty, any man would be moved. Didn't you see the sixth prince's eyes are fixed on her? With his personality, he won't be able to leave alive later!"
Guo and Yi walked towards the Wine Pool, causing a large expanse of astonished gasps, as well as over ten powerful killing intents. Especially the yellow-robed man sitting in the central position of the Wine Pool, his eyes hid not a single bit of murderous intent, just like an icy sword dancing in the air, ready to pierce Guo's heart at any moment.
Guo Yi whispered in Hong Xiangyin's ear: "As for me, there is not a single thread of spiritual energy left in my body now. You'd better protect me later."
"Hehe, why do you need me to protect you? I've heard that the Holy Maiden of White Bone Mountain has a deep affection for you and wouldn't bear to see you get killed." Hong Xiangyin said with a smile.
"Is your wife eating vinegar or are you willing to see me being cut down by someone's sword?"
"I'm sour again, and I don't want to give up." Hong Xiang said with a smile.
After entering the palace, Guo Yi did not see the White Bone Saintess, but instead saw his cheap disciple Xiao Changsheng. Not only Xiao Changsheng, but also the Ninth Prince of the Qingling Palace, Yun Tongling, and the Ming Killer, Gulü, these three top-ranking experts from the Spirit List were all present, sitting in three different directions around the wine pool. Although the three had not made a move, they were mutually on guard against each other.
"How did these three guys end up here?" Guo Yi was a bit curious, after all, once the top three of the "Spirit List" started fighting, it would be hard to stop, whoever stopped first would likely be killed by the other two. But now, they were sitting quietly by the wine pool, drinking silently, without any intention of making a move.
Guo Ye and Hong Xiangyin walked in, laughing and chatting like a loving couple, intending to sit down at a jade table near the wine pool, but someone deliberately provoked them.
"In the Lin family's estate, Young Master Lin Jianan invited Miss Hong to share a table and drink together." A handsome young man with elegant demeanor extended an invitation to Hong Xiangyin, speaking with refinement like a gentleman.
Guo Yi looked at him and suddenly lost his smile, saying: "I'm telling you, brother, can't you see that she's my wife?"
Hong Xiangyin feared that the world would not be chaotic, and smiled: "People call him Lin Jianan, not **male, old man you are rude again."
Lin Jian Nan's smile froze on his face as he heard Guo Yi and Hong Xiang Yin's singing, and he suddenly felt a surge of anger. Seven misty palaces burst out from his body, and he pointed at Guo Yi, shouting: "I want to challenge you! Whoever wins will get her! Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"What a fool." Guo Yi smiled and shook his head, saying: "You ask her first if she's willing or not?"
"Haha, of course I'd love to see my husband teach him a lesson. Someone as old as he is has never had a man fight over me before, it's really quite exciting. Husband, I support you." Hong Xiangyin's face was filled with smiles as she suddenly pushed Guo Yao out the door.
"Are you kidding me? Are you really my wife or not? Even if we were to remarry, I've never seen anyone as eager to murder their husband as you are! Don't you know what level of cultivation I'm at right now... it's inconvenient for me." Guo Yi gritted his teeth and scolded Hong Xiangyin.
Lin Jianan took out a Longyuan Ling Sword and shouted: "Are you a man or not, dare to fight?"
"You go stand aside first, wait for me to discuss something with my wife, and then we'll settle the score." Guo Yi pulled Hong Xiang's voice to one side, glaring at him angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "What do you want to do? Is it over or not?"
Hong Xiangyin leaned into Guo Yi's arms, whispering with a smile: "As long as you kiss me in front of the White Bone Saintess, I'll help you teach him a lesson. Are you willing, dear husband?"
"No need, it's just a small role, even if I lose all my spiritual power now, dealing with him is still easy as pie. I just don't want this kind of thing to happen again."
Guo Ye glared at Hong Xiangyin fiercely, then turned around and smiled at Lin Jianan: "My wife is not very understanding, let you wait for a long time."
Guo Ye looked at the Longyuan sword in his hand, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He coldly smiled and said: "You are actually from the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden."
"Are you scared?" Lin Jianan was most proud of becoming the disciple of the world's number one sword cultivator, and didn't notice at all Guo Yi's gaze that seemed to want to tear him in half.
"No, I'm just lamenting that the road of grievances is narrow." As for the disciples of Longyuan Yujian Garden, Guo Yi's hands were ruthless and merciless.
Although Guo Yi's spiritual power was completely lost, his physical strength had been transformed by Lao Mangzi's three cups of wine and was now even more powerful than the top masters of the Ninth Palace. Although he couldn't mobilize his spiritual incantations or use his spiritual instruments, when it came to close combat with a Seventh Palace cultivator, he would absolutely not be at a disadvantage.
Kuo Yeh and Lin Jian Nan were less than ten meters apart, at such a close distance, the fight was more about human reaction speed and physical strength, in which Kuo Yeh had the upper hand.
Since the other party has already spoken provocatively, Guo Yi naturally wants to take the initiative to strike first. After all, he currently doesn't have spiritual power, which is a fatal weakness, so he absolutely cannot let the other party raise their guard and pull away from him.
Kwok stepped on the ground, his body quickly bounced up, his index finger and thumb formed a claw shape, and his body borrowed force from the ground to rapidly pounce forward.
This move is a sudden attack and must be fatal with one blow, otherwise if the opponent reacts and uses the power of high-grade spiritual instruments to issue a sword mantra, Guo Yi will be in danger.
Lin Jianan indeed lived up to his reputation as a master of the Seventh Palace of the Spiritual Realm. Upon hearing the sound of breaking wind, he instantly struck out with the seven spiritual palaces surrounding his body and flew backward in retreat.
"Boom!"
Kuo Yi's fist shattered a Ling Palace, and his second step landed just as the palace reassembled. However, Kuo Yi's figure had already burst through the palace's seal, and he launched a faster killing strike.
"Unexpectedly, without relying on spiritual energy, his physical strength alone was enough to break through the Spirit Palace of a Seventh Palace cultivator. If he were to use his spiritual power, he would definitely be able to kill Lin Jianan in one move." A princess from the Spiritual Country's eyes sparkled as she saw Guo Yao's extraordinary abilities.
"Lin Tian Nan doesn't even deserve for him to use his spiritual energy, this young man's true strength is almost on par with those who haven't entered the Spiritual Rankings."
These people had no idea that Guo Yi's spiritual power was completely lost, and they all thought his combat strength could be ranked on the Spiritual List. Therefore, the young talents present acknowledged his strength and treated him as a young master of the same generation who could sit with them.
"Bang! Bang!"
Guo Yiquan's fists came in waves, shattering Lin Jianan's one by one spiritual palace, each punch seemed extremely casual, as if he hadn't used any strength at all.
Lin Jianan was startled by Guo Yi's strength, but at this time the two had already begun fighting, and he couldn't retreat either. So, gritting his teeth, he raised the Longyuan sword, bringing out a flash of spiritual light that shot out suddenly.
"Give me a break!"
Even if the Ling Sword flew in, Guo Yi was still fearless, and with one punch, he knocked the Longyuan Sword flying out. His body speed was incredibly fast, and he jumped five zhang away, directly grabbing Lin Jian's neck with his hand.
Guo Yi's face was filled with a smile that never faded, and in a low voice, he whispered to Lin Jianan, who had already been frightened into trembling: "Actually, I don't have even a single thread of spiritual energy. If you can just calm down a bit and use one sword move, it's possible for you to kill me with one strike. However, your combat experience is too shallow, so you've lost your composure. It seems that being pampered has made you soft. By the way, next life, remember not to enter Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden again, and also try to restrain your temper a bit."
After hearing Guo Yi's words, Lin Jianan's eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something else, but he had already died of suffocation and was thrown to the ground by Guo Yi.
Kuo Yen's eyes swept coldly around, saying: "Is there anyone else who wants to provoke?"
A proud voice rang out, coldly laughing: "Your Excellency's methods are truly ruthless and poisonous. Chu Mouren will avenge the dead and seek justice."
The sixth imperial son of Zhongzhou Lingguo stood up from his seat, and the words just now were spoken by him. His eyes were filled with cold smiles, and his murderous intentions were not hidden at all. However, what he looked at more was not Guo Yi, but the sexy and charming Hong Xiangyin standing beside him.
It's clear that his target is not Guo Yi, but this delicate and beautiful woman.
Guo Yi sneered, "If Shao Changsheng or Shao Gongzi said this sentence, I would believe it. But you, a mere Sixth Prince, dare to say such a grandiose and righteous phrase? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Haha, you're quite bold, daring to insult me, the Crown Prince. Even if you were a top master of the 'Spiritual Leaderboard', it would still be a dead end for you, let alone you haven't even made it onto the leaderboard yet." The Sixth Prince was furious.
Guo Yi carefully sized up the sixth prince, and saw that the spiritual energy on his body had condensed into a tangible form. There was also a "Ling Bang" imprint on his forehead, indicating that he was a "Ling Bang"-level figure. Although he had also made it onto the "Ling Bang", the aura on his body was not as powerful as that of Xiao Changsheng or Yun Tongling, and it was clear that he was one of the lower-ranking experts on the "Ling Bang". So why did he have such a big attitude?
The sixth prince actually claimed that even the masters of "Ling Bang" would be a dead end in front of him, why did he have such great confidence?
Someone dispelled Guo Yi's confusion, saying that Yun Tongling was the ninth prince of the Great Qing Spiritual Country. The Great Qing Spiritual Country and the Zhongzhou Spiritual Country had always been at odds. He smoothed out his white eyebrows and laughed: "Although the sixth prince is ranked lowest on the Spiritual List, 72nd place, his older brother is the number one expert on the Spiritual List, Chu Ge. Your strength may be able to rival his, but Chu Ge's anger is something that no one in the ancient mystical realm can withstand, haha!"
Although Yun Tongling's words seemed to be kindly reminding Guo Yi on the surface, in reality he was secretly instigating a fight between Guo Yi and the Sixth Prince, which was his true intention.
The entire ancient Xuan domain knows a phrase: Zhongzhou's one sword shocks all directions, when marrying, marry the Chu Ge Lang!
It can be seen that Chu Ge's position in the hearts of all cultivators under the heavens is absolutely someone who cannot be provoked, not only because of his own super-absolute strength as the first on the Spiritual List, but also because he is the next master of Zhongzhou Spiritual Country.
Guo Ye naturally could hear Yun Tongling's provocative words, but he smiled and said: "People from Longyuan Yujian Garden, I kill one by one, even if he is the younger brother of Chu Ge, the first person on the Spirit List, I will still kill him without hesitation."
The sixth prince indeed had a dragon-head spirit sword at his waist, the Longyuan Sword, which was the symbol of the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden, and only outstanding disciples of the garden were qualified to be equipped with it.
Guo Yi is not a troublemaker, but he's not afraid of making trouble either. Even if the other person is as legendary as Chu Ge, he will not be intimidated.
"You have a big tone, daring to challenge the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden. This is seeking death." A cold and stern voice came from outside the palace.
"Thud...thud..." The clear footsteps came from outside the palace, and everyone's eyes turned to look over there, all wanting to see what kind of person had just spoken.
Lan Tianlong held the Qiankun Mirror in his hand, with a serious and cold expression on his face, step by step entering the palace.
"Blue Sky Dragon, 64th on the Spirit List! Haha, another Spirit List master!" Yun Tongling's face was filled with smiles as he scooped up a cup of Qilin wine from the wine pool and downed it in one gulp.
"The seven great 'Spirit Rankings' of the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden have finally been decided, and that young man is doomed to die." Ming Killhand sighed, putting away a blood-colored sword-shaped wine gourd into his palm before directly swallowing it.
The sixth prince saw the arrival of Blue Sky Dragon and burst out laughing, his face no longer showing any concern. He laughed and said: "Blue brother arrived just in time, my junior brother was about to slaughter this madman who dared to challenge the Sword Garden's authority. I'm afraid that with one sword strike, I would have split him into two halves. Brother, do you want to torture him first?"
"You two have arrived just in time, since you're both here, let's do it together! The people of Longyuan Garden, I've always been one to kill whoever I see. If I see one person, I'll kill one; if I see two, I'll kill a pair." Guo Yi also didn't conceal the killing intent on his body.
"Boom!"
Guo Yi's words shocked the entire audience. The Sixth Prince and Lan Tianlong were both top figures on the Spirit List, and either one of them was a formidable young master who could shake the world. If two Spirit List experts joined forces to kill someone, even older generation figures would have to retreat. Guo Yi actually claimed he would simultaneously kill both of them, which in everyone's eyes was simply seeking death.
Even Yun Tongling and Gu Leng, two top-ranked masters of the Spiritual Ranking, didn't think highly of Guo Yi. The corners of their mouths curled up in ridicule, "Thought he was a decent master, turns out to be a second-rate fool, haha!"
Hong Xiangyin understood Guo Yi's strength, let alone now that his spiritual power was completely lost. Even if he had all his spiritual power, it would be impossible for him to be a match for any of the top masters on the Spiritual Leaderboard, let alone two of them.
She didn't think highly of Guo Yi either, thinking he was acting on impulse. She advised him: "Don't let someone's instigation make you do something foolish."
"Hmph, it's been a long time since anyone has died in the Ling Bang. Today, I'll set an example. I want to let everyone know that as long as one is a top master of Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden's Ling Bang, they are meant to be used for killing."
"Boom!"
Kuang Ye's body burst forth with a thunderous spiritual energy, his momentum rising steadily from the First Palace of the Spiritual Rankings, Second Palace... Eighth Palace, and finally reaching the Ninth Palace of the Spiritual Rankings, yet still showing no signs of ending, as if he was going to continue climbing upwards...
