Chapter 2272: Duke Shouzhe’s Banquet! Congratulations from All Directions

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Shentu Jingming also returned a polite gesture, but his heart was full of bitterness.

He didn’t expect that he couldn’t even defeat Wang Shouye.

Ultimately, one reason is that he himself doesn’t enjoy fighting and rarely puts in hard work on battle techniques. Secondly, that Blue Flame Gourd of Wang Shouye is indeed hateful; to him, no no no, to all cultivators with Fire Element Bloodline, it’s extremely suppressive.

So, one can’t blame him for being too weak, it can only be blamed on how abnormal the Wang family’s strength is, you can’t evaluate their combat power based on common sense.

At this time.

Inside the hotel room where Immortal Emperor and Shouzhe were staying.

Having watched the entire battle process, the Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but sneer: "That young Shentu Jingming seems to have a pretty good cultivation base, but he’s nothing more than a fancy show. Even with a peak Purple Abode Realm cultivation, he couldn’t suppress Wang Shouye."

But just as her voice fell, the air in the room suddenly twisted and quickly turned into a semi-transparent mirror surface.

On the mirror surface, the arrogant smiling face of the Demon Emperor gradually emerged.

"Muyun, Muyun, this round your Immortal Dynasty has been outdone by us. Our third child, Jingming, took fifth place, while your third child, Jingan, only took twelfth place; the difference is quite large~~"

"Bah! You shameless old thing!" The Immortal Emperor was so provoked that she jumped up, pointing at the mirror and cursing, "That young Shentu Jingming is your Demonic Dynasty’s Crown Prince, yet he was beaten like a dog by a few young juniors of the Wang family, and you have the face to boast here? Even if we are to compare, he should be compared with our Su Yun. Our Su Yun, even with just a toe, could crush that boy to death!"

"Bah! Your Su Yun princess is over five hundred years old and already in the Advanced Stage of the Divine Power Territory, right? Still thinking of devouring the young~~" the Demon Emperor taunted.

This sentence obviously touched a nerve in the Immortal Emperor.

She was so infuriated that she was trembling with rage: "You dare speak so rudely! Come out if you dare, and see if I don’t beat the crap out of you!"

"What, you’re allowed to curse at people, but I’m not allowed to state a fact? Su Yun is indeed older than our Jingming~" the Demon Emperor retorted, but his tone was clearly lacking in confidence.

In terms of a duel, he wasn’t the Immortal Emperor’s match.

Helplessly, Wang Shouzhe had to stand up and mediate: "Senior Muyun, Senior Red Hell. Soon, it will be the Duke’s banquet for the junior, as well as the grand wedding of Rich and the two princesses, everyone please don’t act rashly, let’s save face."

"Hmph~"

Immortal Emperor Muyun snorted coldly, barely holding back: "For the sake of Shouzhe, I’ll tolerate that old thing for a few more days. Red Hell, stay away from me, don’t prance around in front of me."

"Muyun, if you have the ability, hurry up and knock Jingming from the fifth position." After another moment of verbal satisfaction, the Demon Emperor promptly and sensibly removed the mirror projection, disappearing without a trace.

"Shouzhe, quickly get your Divine Skill Leaderboard out." The Immortal Emperor was beside herself with anger, her stunningly beautiful face flushed red, "I must have Su Yun and He Lan crush Shentu Jingming on the Divine Skill Leaderboard."

"Why not, Your Majesty, provide a bit more support with top-grade materials and formation materials?" Wang Shouzhe took the opportunity to ask for materials, "The top-tier Divine Skill arena should at least withstand the full force of an Early Stage Transcendent Void Realm, otherwise it might be dismantled in no time."

"..."

The Immortal Emperor was at a loss for words.

Immortal Dynasty could indeed provide shield barriers and formation materials that can withstand the bombing of an Early Stage Transcendent Void Realm, but firstly, such materials are extremely expensive, invaluable, and secondly, they are inherently extremely scarce, always reserved for the most top-tier military fortifications, using them to build a sparring arena is an utter waste.

The Immortal Emperor reluctantly waved her hand: "Alright, let’s put it aside for now. Anyway, our Su Yun is at least, um... third in Divine Skills for now."

Originally, she wanted to say first, but upon thinking of Wang Shouzhe’s hidden depths and abnormal abilities, and that even more unfathomable Liu Ruolan, she had to swallow her words back.

For a moment, the Immortal Emperor also felt a bit uneasy.

Currently, from the Spirit Platform List, Celestial Being List, Purple Abode Leaderboard, and even the yet-to-be-rated Divine Skill Leaderboard, it’s the Wang family occupying the top spots.

Her rivalry with that old Demon Emperor was nothing more than an effort to fight for the top three or top five positions.

In the past, who would believe this?

Never mind that the second on the Celestial Being List is Princess Chuan Nan, and the third is Princess Zhao Yu. But now, both are to marry into the Wang family, naturally also becoming part of the Wang family.

Sigh~ The Immortal Emperor suddenly felt a bit dejected.

The competition was still ongoing.

Outstanding descendants from the prominent families or nobles of the Immortal-Demon Dynasties were all striving to rank, hoping to make a name for themselves on this almost world-wide leaderboard, even squeezing into the top one hundred would be good.

For a time, whether on the Spirit Platform List, Celestial Being List, or Purple Abode Leaderboard, data was continuously being updated.

According to professional evaluations, except for the Purple Abode Leaderboard, both the Celestial Being List and Spirit Platform List were expected to undergo significant changes. Combined, the Immortal-Demon Dynasties could occupy nearly fifty slots on each leaderboard.

This shows that the true strength and heritage of the Immortal-Demon Dynasties are still very strong.

However, the top positions on each leaderboard are almost all occupied by the Wang family, and their positions are as stable as Mount Tai, impossible for others to shake.

Especially on the Purple Abode Leaderboard, the Wang family is most abnormal, it’s like a gathering of experts, leaving no chance for others, making it extremely difficult to squeeze in even a single position.
