Chapter 1900 If That’s Not Nonsense, What Is It?

“Hmph, if you’re less skilled than others, who can you blame?”

The people of Dark Assassination naturally have tempers too; others might fear Mo Han, but Mu Hongyi, daring to make a move, shows no hesitation towards him.

Above the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, Dark Assassination’s influence, though not as vast as Emperor Canglong Palace’s, is mysterious; even Emperor Canglong and Lu Qinwan might not know where Dark Assassination’s headquarters is, let alone search for it.

Moreover, the assassins from Dark Assassination are adept at disguise. Even now, Mo Han sees Mu Hongyi’s appearance, which may not be her real face, thus why should she worry too much about this Dragon Academy genius?

“Is it the time for you to quarrel? Or do you want to give the golden banner to me?”

A voice suddenly penetrated their ears, causing their faces to change, followed by a white figure swiftly passing by them—who else could it be but Yun Xiao?

Yun Xiao’s speed was naturally not slow, especially with the Thunder Dragon’s Wings enhancing him, those two couldn’t surpass him, so even if he started late, at this moment he had already caught up here, heading towards the rolling golden banner.

“You wish!”

Mo Han’s hatred for Yun Xiao is undoubtedly more intense than for Mu Hongyi, so he certainly doesn’t want the golden banner to fall into Yun Xiao’s hands. However, at this moment, he’s already behind Yun Xiao.

Boom!

After Mo Han let out a shout, a massive finger burst forth from the sky, it was the Cold Nether Cloud Finger he performed earlier.

When Mo Han displayed Cold Nether Cloud Finger this time, it was just to stop Yun Xiao from retrieving the golden banner. As for whether this Cloud Finger could directly kill the young man, he never thought about it.

Even with Yun Xiao’s strength, he couldn’t afford to take a Holy Rank Low Level Cloud Finger head-on without any defenses. Just as his body slightly evaded, a red figure had already dashed through the air, it was Mu Hongyi, the Dark Assassin.

“This girl reacts quickly!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but secretly praise, as the Ancestral Vein Fire burned the Cold Nether Cloud Finger to ashes, an unexpected Black Light Wooden Sword appeared right before the golden banner.

“It’s that Ancient Divine Artifact!”

The watching geniuses could no longer regard that Wooden Sword as ordinary; their eyes slightly sharpened, and the Wooden Sword already struck the golden banner, causing it to fly swiftly out, leaving Mu Qingyi’s grasp empty.

“It seems the golden banner is destined for Yun Xing’s hands!”

Seeing this scene, Wu Jiantong, the Holy Doctor Alliance genius who had just arrived, couldn’t help but exclaim, mixing reluctance with acceptance of the outcome.

However, on the other side, Lu Zhanbai and Jiang Jingyu wore slightly dark faces; they undoubtedly wished Mo Han to seize the golden banner, yet the result was unexpected.

Yet their expressions differed; Jiang Jingyu’s gaze repeatedly swept over the Wooden Sword, deep memories in his mind were about to surface, as if reachable with just a grasp.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, whether intentionally or not, the Dragon Taming Sword controlled by Yun Xiao spun around the golden banner in mid-air, finally landing not far in front of Mo Han.

Mo Han undoubtedly felt conflicted this moment, uncertain if Yun Xing deliberately arranged this. Previously in the stone house, he already witnessed Yun Xiao and Gu Zhixuan’s battle, knowing that Wooden Sword is an Ancient Divine Artifact.

Thus, even with the golden banner close at hand, Mo Han surprisingly didn’t reach out, fearing that if Yun Xiao’s plot comes true, it may cost him his arm.

Due to such caution, Mo Han could only watch as the golden banner swiftly passed before him, eventually flying back to Yun Xiao’s side, caught with one quick grab.

“Haha, thanks for letting me!”

Seeing the golden banner in his hands again, Yun Xiao was delighted; casting a glance at the man and woman on the side, he vowed not to repeat the previous mistake.

Swish!

With the banner secured, Yun Xiao didn’t procrastinate at all; seeing the man and woman displaying gloomy and hesitant faces, he spread his Thunder Wings, in an instant, shot into the air, steadily landing on the Xuanyuan Platform.

At this moment, Yun Xiao seemed like a supreme strongman overlooking the numerous young geniuses below, akin to a crane standing independently among chickens, creating a sense of majestic superiority.

“Damn!”

Watching Yun Xiao capture the golden banner and stepping onto Xuanyuan Platform, as for others, they might be fine, but Mo Han, this Emperor Palace genius, was practically fuming.

This time Mo Han represents the Emperor Canglong Palace. He is determined to seize the banner and ascend the Xuanyuan Platform. Under the powerful conditions of his Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage, he has gained the necessary assurance.

Yet, despite such assurance, the final outcome is rapidly moving in the completely opposite direction of Mo Han’s expectations. A suddenly appearing Yun Xing has undoubtedly disrupted his entire plan.

Before departing from the Dragon Academy, Mo Han had assured the chief of Jun Shan with a confident pat on the chest that he would certainly win the championship of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting and restore the face of the Emperor Canglong Palace.

After all, in recent editions of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, the final champion had always been a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace. Mo Han could imagine the ridicule he would face from the Dragon Academy’s geniuses if he failed here.

Whoosh!

Driven by rage, Mo Han had obviously forgotten the rules of the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting. With his figure flickering, he surprisingly landed on the Xuanyuan Platform, standing opposite Yun Xiao.

“Yun Xing, roll off the Xuanyuan Platform, and perhaps I will spare your life temporarily!”

Mo Han scowled, and upon these words, many people felt an unusual sensation, yet none spoke up, seemingly intimidated by the background of the Emperor Canglong Palace.

“What’s this? I’ve seized the banner and am the first to ascend the Xuanyuan Platform. Has the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting not ended yet?”

Even Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, and after his voice fell, his gaze did not linger on Mo Han, but traversed considerable distance to focus on Hou Weiliang below.

When Yun Xiao’s gaze projected over, Hou Weiliang seemed to be lost in thought, as if he hadn’t noticed the conflict, causing the peculiar sensation in everyone’s hearts to deepen.

“Tsk tsk, it seems the Emperor Canglong Palace intends to enforce tyranny, breaking the rules they themselves established!”

In the arena, the only person besides Yun Xiao who dared to confront the Emperor Canglong Palace was likely Ouyang Yi, a descendant of the Ouyang Family. Enraged, he couldn’t help but speak sarcastically.

“Hmph, does the Emperor Canglong Palace need to explain its actions to outsiders?”

Knowing he was in the wrong, Mo Han did not bother reasoning with Ouyang Yi. Seeing Hou Weiliang’s silence below, he was delighted, knowing the latter was acquiescing to his unruly conduct.

As Mo Han expected, Hou Weiliang was after all sent by the Emperor Canglong Palace. Who else would he support but Mo Han? Moreover, should Mo Han manage to kill Yun Xing on the Xuanyuan Platform, surely no one would dare utter even a single word.

The shameless words of this Palace genius left Ouyang Yi at a loss for words. It’s clear he intended to use the force of the Emperor Canglong Palace to suppress others. Can you reason with him?

“The Emperor Canglong Palace is indeed tyrannical; their ability to speak nonsense is unmatched!”

Even Yun Xiao was amused by Mo Han’s words. Upon these words, the seemingly indifferent guardian Hou Weiliang finally opened his eyes and raised his head.

“Young man, be careful not to court disaster with your words!”

Hou Weiliang had been sent by the Emperor Canglong Palace to guard the Xuanyuan Platform. Naturally, he couldn’t allow the palace’s dignity to be challenged, hence his threatening words.

“What’s this? Have I spoken incorrectly? Just now, it was you, old man, who spouted the rules, and now you wish to recant them. Isn’t this nonsense?”

Yun Xiao and Hou Weiliang met each other’s gaze without a hint of fear. His words weren’t wrong, and they indeed provoked this guardian of the Xuanyuan Platform.

“Hey, this isn’t about the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting winner. You dare disrespect the palace, and you invite death. Young Master Han, act as you see fit!”

Although angered, Hou Weiliang was deep in thought and quickly found a perfect justification, which no one dared to refute.

“According to you, old man, anyone who grabs the banner first and ascends the Xuanyuan Platform is disrespecting the Emperor Canglong Palace?”

If it’s about eloquence, Yun Xiao fears no one. Hearing his cold sneer, he stated: “If that’s the case, why bother attending the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting? Just build a wall and claim Dragon Fallen Mountain as private property of Emperor Canglong Palace!”

This time, Yun Xiao’s words weren’t just aimed at Hou Weiliang. Upon hearing this, the palace-appointed guardian felt a chill, now truly witnessing the eloquence of this young man in white.

If it were simply based on strength, Emperor Canglong Palace might indeed monopolize the Xuanyuan Platform, and who could object? Yet to appear magnanimous, they hadn’t gone this far.

Moreover, for each Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, the palace sends only one genius to ensure fairness, as Emperor Canglong Palace curries favor with every Family Sect in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud—a carefully calculated move.

As the guardian, Hou Weiliang was aware of the palace leaders’ plans. He knew if Yun Xiao continued, turning the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting into a solo act of Emperor Canglong Palace, he would bear huge responsibility.

“Fine, fine, fine. You brat not only provoke the palace’s dignity but also dare to slander the palace—simply unforgivable!”
