Bai Zihan looked at Long Haotian quietly, then a faint smile appeared on his face.Long Haotian immediately noticed it.
His mood improved slightly.
(As expected, he is quite happy to hear his generous proposal.)
He thought.
After all, who wouldn’t be happy?
He was the heir of a Top Clan from the Central Glorious Continent.
His talent was unparalleled.
His background was monstrous.
His future was limitless.
To become his brother-in-law was an opportunity countless people could only dream of.
In Long Haotian’s eyes, this was no different from a chicken transforming into a phoenix.
Naturally, he thought that Bai Zihan should be delighted.
Thus, Long Haotian waited confidently for Bai Zihan’s response.
Then Bai Zihan finally spoke.
"Do you even deserve that?"
Silence!
The smile on Long Haotian’s face froze instantly.
Long Haotian blinked.
Then his expression slowly darkened.
"What did you say?"
His voice became noticeably colder.
Bai Zihan merely smiled.
"Are your ears also malfunctioning now?"
His gaze swept over Long Haotian leisurely.
Then he shook his head slightly.
"Toad dreaming about eating swan meat!"
The surrounding disciples immediately lowered their heads.
Many were desperately suppressing their laughter.
Meanwhile, Long Haotian’s face became increasingly ugly.
"You!"
His voice contained a warning.
"I advise you to think carefully before speaking. Do you know who this young master is?"
Immortal Realm pressure subtly leaked from his body.
Many disciples immediately felt their breathing become difficult, yet Bai Zihan remained completely unaffected.
Long Haotian continued coldly.
"You should understand your position. I am already giving you plenty of face!"
His expression became increasingly arrogant.
"Don’t mistake my goodwill for weakness."
Then he sneered.
"Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
His eyes flashed coldly.
"I sincerely advise you not to choose the second option."
The threat was obvious.
Everyone present could hear it clearly.
Long Haotian took another step forward. His aura surged slightly.
"Because once I start using force..."
His gaze locked onto Bai Zihan.
"You won’t like the outcome."
Countless eyes turned toward Bai Zihan.
Waiting for his reaction.
Waiting to see whether he would back down.
However, Bai Zihan simply smiled.
"I see!"
Long Haotian thought he had finally understood.
A trace of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Unfortunately, Bai Zihan’s next words immediately shattered that illusion.
"Then I’d quite like to see it."
Long Haotian stared at him.
Bai Zihan met his gaze calmly.
As though he genuinely wanted to see what Long Haotian could do.
Long Haotian felt something was wrong.
The confidence before him did not seem fake, yet that was impossible.
No matter how talented Bai Zihan was, he should be younger than Bai Xueqing.
Meanwhile, he was already an Immortal Realm expert.
The difference between them should have been insurmountable.
Behind Long Haotian, the two old men narrowed their eyes.
While they found Bai Zihan strange, their focus was on Bai Ren and Bai Chu.
They didn’t know why, but those two gave them a feeling of threat, almost as though they were as strong as they were.
However, they shook their heads. They didn’t think that should be possible.
They were two of the strongest cultivators in the Central Glorious Continent.
How could people from such a remote place possess strength comparable to theirs?
Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan silently watched everything unfold.
Previously, when Long Haotian had revealed his Immortal Realm cultivation, both of them had been somewhat worried.
After all, regardless of how arrogant he was, his strength was real.
However, the moment Bai Zihan appeared, those worries quietly disappeared.
The two women understood him far too well, especially that expression.
That calm smile and relaxed demeanor.
When Bai Zihan acted like this, it usually meant one thing.
Everything was already under control.
At least, that was what Chu Ziyan believed.
Looking at Bai Zihan’s back, the coldness in her eyes gradually softened.
Meanwhile, Bai Xueqing’s thoughts were on different things.
While she also trusted Bai Zihan completely, she knew her younger brother better than almost anyone.
Therefore, something immediately felt suspicious.
The timing was too perfect.
Not only had Bai Zihan appeared at exactly the right moment, he had also brought Grand Elder Bai Ren and Grand Elder Bai Chu with him.
That was definitely not a coincidence.
Bai Xueqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
(He’s planning something.)
The thought immediately surfaced in her mind.
She knew that Bai Zihan never acted without purpose.
Still, regardless of what Bai Zihan was planning, one thing was certain.
Long Haotian had already become his target.
And once Bai Zihan set his sights on someone...
Their fate was usually not very pleasant.
Unfortunately, the person in question remained completely unaware.
Long Haotian’s expression became uglier and uglier.
The more Bai Zihan spoke, the angrier he became.
In his eyes, he had already shown tremendous generosity.
He had even considered treating Bai Zihan as a future brother-in-law.
Yet instead of gratitude, he received mockery.
Long Haotian felt that his goodwill had been completely trampled upon.
His expression darkened.
"So be it!"
His voice became cold.
"Since you refuse to recognize what’s good for you..."
A terrifying aura surged from his body.
The surrounding air immediately became heavy.
"Then I can only do this the hard way."
Immortal Realm pressure swept across the arena.
Many disciples instantly felt their blood qi fluctuate.
Some weaker disciples even turned pale.
Long Haotian’s gaze looked down upon Bai Zihan.
Arrogant and domineering.
Like a ruler looking down upon a mortal.
Then his voice echoed throughout the entire arena.
"Bai Zihan! I challenge you! Do you dare accept it?"
The moment those words fell, the entire Heaven Sword Sect erupted.
Countless disciples immediately became excited.
Fear?
There was definitely fear.
After all, Long Haotian was an Immortal Realm cultivator.
But excitement quickly overwhelmed it.
Because opportunities like this were simply too rare.
An Immortal Realm battle!
Many cultivators could spend their entire lives without witnessing one.
And now they might witness it with their own eyes.
Moreover, one of the participants was Bai Zihan.
The legendary genius of the Desolate Heaven Empire.
The man who had overturned countless impossible situations.
The man whose strength nobody could accurately measure.
Instantly, everyone’s attention became focused.
Even the elders could not remain calm.
The atmosphere reached an unprecedented level.
The atmosphere inside the Heaven Sword Sect’s arena reached its peak.
Countless eyes were fixed upon Bai Zihan.
Would he accept? Or would he refuse?
After all, his opponent was an Immortal Realm cultivator.
Bai Zihan merely stood there calmly.
Outwardly, his expression remained unchanged.
Internally, however, he was already weighing several considerations.
Agreeing had several benefits.
The first was time.
Han Sha had already received his instructions, but mobilizing the Heaven Sword Sect’s forces still required time.
The longer Long Haotian remained occupied, the better.
A duel would naturally buy him that time.
The second reason was curiosity.
Bai Zihan had heard countless legends regarding the Central Glorious Continent.
He wanted to see for himself whether those stories were exaggerated or true.
He knew that there was a high chance of war between the Desolate Heaven Empire and the Central Glorious Continent.
So, it was a good idea to learn about their strengths.
And now, a perfect test subject had conveniently delivered himself to his doorstep.
The third reason...
Bai Zihan glanced at Long Haotian.
Then a faint smile appeared on his face.
He simply wanted to beat him up.
The fellow was truly irritating.
Thus, after a brief moment of silence, Bai Zihan finally nodded.
"Sure, why not!"
A confident smile appeared on Long Haotian’s face.
Then he suddenly raised a hand.
"Wait!"
Long Haotian looked toward Bai Zihan.
"If we’re going to fight, then let’s make things more interesting."
Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
Long Haotian clasped his hands behind his back.
His expression was full of confidence.
"Let’s make a bet!"
Long Haotian pointed toward Chu Ziyan.
"If I win."
His voice echoed throughout the arena.
"You will dissolve your engagement with her."
The moment those words fell, Chu Ziyan’s expression instantly became cold.
Yet Long Haotian remained completely serious.
Bai Zihan did not immediately agree.
Instead, he looked at Long Haotian.
Then he casually asked,
"And if you lose?"
Long Haotian blinked.
For a brief moment, he genuinely froze.
Lose?
The word felt unfamiliar.
The possibility had never crossed his mind.
After all, he was Long Haotian.
He was an Immortal Realm cultivator.
How could he lose to someone from the Desolate Heaven Empire?
The very idea sounded absurd.
Thus, after a short pause, Long Haotian laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
His laughter was filled with absolute confidence.
Then he proudly declared,
"If I lose?"
He spread his arms.
"Then name your price!"
His voice thundered throughout the arena.
"Anything you wish!"
The two old men behind him immediately frowned.
Their expressions changed slightly.
Unfortunately, Long Haotian either failed to notice or simply didn’t care.
His confidence had already reached its peak.
After all, in his mind, there was only one outcome to this battle.
Victory!
Therefore, making promises cost him nothing.
As long as Bai Zihan accepts his bet!
