Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Could it be that Long Manor is afraid of him? Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Could it be that Long Manor is afraid of him? After Yang Xiaotian left, he cupped his fists towards Shi Zhonglou in gratitude, “Thank you for today, Elder Shi.”

Shi Zhonglou patted Yang Xiaotian on the shoulder and said with a smile, “What’s there to thank? You are a disciple of Long Manor. If I don’t help you, should I instead help that old duck head, Chen Yu?”

Old duck head?

Yang Xiaotian thought about Chen Yu’s relatively long and protruding neck and couldn’t help laughing.

The other experts of Long Manor also smiled.

“Elder Shi, since it’s like this, I shall take my leave as I have matters to attend to,” said Yang Xiaotian as he cupped his fists.

Shi Zhonglou responded with a laugh, “Go ahead, just be careful. If anything comes up later on, feel free to come and find me.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded in acknowledgment and then turned around to leave.

Shi Zhonglou watched Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure and asked, “Could any of you make out that sword strike from the youngster just now?”

An Elder of Long Manor pondered before saying, “That sword strike just now should be Fleeting Light Shadows.”

“Fleeting Light Shadows, Summit Mastery!” Shi Zhonglou recalled that sword strike, unable to hide his amazement, for he knew well how difficult it was to cultivate this Supreme Divine Technique of swordsmanship to perfection.

Sword Dao Geniuses capable of cultivating Fleeting Light Shadows to the realm of Summit Mastery were indeed rare.

“It’s just unknown how many Supreme Divine Techniques of the Sword Dao he has cultivated? I wonder if he has cultivated all ten Supreme Sword Dao techniques to the realm of Summit Mastery?” the Elder speculated.

Shi Zhonglou, of course, knew what was in the Elder’s mind.

In fact, like everyone else, he wanted to know what kind of Life-Bound Talisman this youngster had condensed.

After leaving, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the Time Chamber of Commerce.

The Time Chamber of Commerce was the second largest chamber of commerce in Primordial Holy Land, only second to the Kirin Chamber of Commerce.

A chamber of commerce like the Time Chamber of Commerce had all the materials needed for refining most Elixirs, except for some rare Elixir herbs.

This time, Yang Xiaotian successfully purchased a large batch of materials for refining the Great Emperor Pill at the Time Chamber of Commerce and released news seeking Ms. Meng, the Sword Prison King and others.

After buying the materials, considering the ninefold Heavenly Tribulation Thunder that the high-grade Nine Tribulations Great Emperor Pill would attract, which would cause a major disturbance, he did not return to Long Manor but instead found a deserted place to start refining the Nine Tribulations high-grade Great Emperor Pill.

While Yang Xiaotian was refining the Nine Tribulations high-grade Great Emperor Pill in a desolate place, at the deepest part of Long Manor’s forbidden land, Holy Fire True Monarch, Emperor Fenlei, and two other Dao-Confirming beings were sitting in the main hall with a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

Liuli Sect was a Supreme Sect belonging to the Seven Treasures Holy Land and was located next to Long Manor’s domain.

But everyone received news that the Kirin Clan had just exterminated the Liuli Sect from Seven Treasures Holy Land!

“The Kirin Clan has been getting more and more audacious in recent years!” Emperor Fenlei snorted coldly.

The Kirin Clan’s objective in annihilating the Liuli Sect was naturally not simple; it was clear that they were aiming for Long Manor.

“The Kirin Clan, over these tens of thousands of years, has already destroyed more than a dozen Sects,” said Myriad Dao Sword Venerable in a deep voice, “We in Long Manor must make early preparations.”

Considering the pattern of the Kirin Clan, Long Manor would likely be their next target.

Just then, the Message Talisman of Holy Fire True Monarch vibrated suddenly. He took it out and looked at it – it was a report from the Long Manor Master. After reading the content, his brows furrowed, and he passed the Message Talisman to Emperor Fenlei and the other three people to see.

After Emperor Fenlei and the others finished reading, their brows also furrowed.

The message stated that the Kirin Clan wanted to have a friendly “exchange” of Inner Sect Disciples with Long Manor.

The Long Manor Master was asking for the opinions of the four.

“Sparring is sparring; how could we of Long Manor be scared of them?” Myriad Dao Sword Venerable declared coldly, his whole body surging with Sword Qi.

Holy Fire True Monarch pondered, “The Kirin Clan actually dares to actively propose a friendly sparring session with our Long Manor Inner Sect Disciples. They must be extremely confident about this encounter.”

“I’ve heard that the Kirin Clan has a once-in-a-million-years genius. Not only does he possess four Defying Heaven Divine Bodies, but he has also developed a Fourteen Sword Domain at the Minor Accomplishment Realm. This individual is named Chen Haiba.”

“Four Defying Heaven Divine Bodies, Fourteen Sword Domain, all at the Minor Accomplishment Realm!” Emperor Fenlei and others were astonished.

“Indeed, and he’s cultivated three Top Tier Godhoods and brought sixty Supreme Divine Techniques to Summit Mastery.” Holy Fire True Monarch spoke with a grave voice: “It’s just unknown which Life-Bound Talisman he has condensed.”

However, his estimation was that the opponent’s Life-Bound Talisman was definitely above Divine Grade, and most likely ranked among the top ten Divine Grade Life-Bound Talismans.

Dao Life Symbols that could appear once every ten million years were indeed the strongest Life-Bound Talismans, unmatched within the same realm.

Yet, among the disciples currently recruited by Long Manor, not one was a match for this Chen Haiba.

Considering this, Holy Fire True Monarch’s brows were tightly knitted.

It was clear that the Kirin Clan intended to use this friendly sparring session with the Inner Sect Disciples to crush the Long Manor disciples’ confidence and undermine Long Manor’s authority, setting the stage for their next move.

Emperor Fenlei and Myriad Dao Sword Venerable also came to this realization, all furrowing their brows with concern.

However, if they refused the friendly sparring session, the Kirin Clan would certainly spread the word everywhere that Long Manor didn’t even have the courage to spar with the Kirin Clan.

Several days later, Yang Xiaotian refined three hundred Top Grade Nine Tribulations Great Emperor Pills in the Uninhabited Mountain Range before returning to Long Manor.

However, no sooner had he entered Long Manor’s gates than he heard many of the manor’s disciples discussing the Kirin Clan’s pending friendly sparring session.

“It’s said that Chen Haiba of the Kirin Clan has condensed one of the top ten strongest Divine Grade Life-Bound Talismans and possesses four Defying Heaven Divine Bodies! He’s even condensed an Arcane Diagram – the Supreme Arcane Diagram!”

“What, one of the top ten strongest Divine Grade Life-Bound Talismans!”

“Supreme Arcane Diagram? Then who among Long Manor’s Inner Sect Disciples could possibly withstand Chen Haiba?”

All disciples of Long Manor were shocked.

A thought crossed Yang Xiaotian’s mind: the Kirin Clan wanted a friendly sparring session with Long Manor’s Inner Sect Disciples?

“The Mansion Master has stated that whoever defeats Chen Haiba and takes first place in this friendly sparring session with the Kirin Clan’s Inner Sect Disciples will be rewarded with a Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine!”

“And also a High Grade Chaos Spirit Vein.”

The disciples erupted in excitement.

Yang Xiaotian was astounded as well.

He had not expected Long Manor to offer a Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine and a High Grade Chaos Spirit Vein as rewards.

It seemed Long Manor was indeed going all out this time.

“Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine,” Yang Xiaotian pondered.

What he lacked now was a Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine. If he had one, he could break through to the Fourfold Realm of a Divine Monarch.

After returning to his palace, Yang Xiaotian consumed Divine Fruits and continued to cultivate his eight Divine Bodies.

Using the Top Grade Nine Tribulations Great Emperor Pills to nourish several Divine Trees, the resulting Divine Fruits were significantly more potent than before. Yang Xiaotian could clearly feel his cultivation speed had greatly increased.

In the blink of an eye, eleven months passed by.

As the day of the Long Manor’s sparring session with the Kirin Clan’s Inner Sect Disciples approached, the atmosphere within Long Manor changed palpably. Yang Xiaotian could keenly sense the disciples’ tension, excitement, anxiety, and unease.
