Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Inside the valley.

Gu Junhe gave Xiao Yi many elixirs to consume and, seeing Xiao Yi's complexion regain some of its rosiness, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the dozen or so empty medicine bottles on the ground, Gu Junhe couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "This kid... In order to save you, he almost emptied out my entire stock... You better not disappoint me!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Yi had burned up to seventy percent of his blood.

Any other person at the Golden Core Realm would have long since died from excessive blood loss.

Gu Junhe had also been startled when he saw Xiao Yi's blood was nearly drained.

He hastily fed all his treasured elixirs to Xiao Yi.

"What a monster!"

Watching the body that had become withered after losing the power boost of the Blood Explosion Skill, slowly recovering, Gu couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Such terrifying recovery ability is no less than some Spiritual Bodies!"

In the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

There are many special physiques, and from weak to strong, they are classified as Spiritual Body, Sacred Body, and Divine Body!

For instance, Xiao Tianjiao possesses the Supreme Overlord Holy Body!

This is a terrifying physique that can evolve into a Divine Body.

Although Xiao Yi doesn't possess a special physique, the transformation from the silent influence of the divine power has made his body no weaker than an ordinary Spiritual Body. Otherwise, he would not have survived after consuming so much blood!

Hum!

The entrance to the secret realm suddenly transmitted a surge of energy fluctuations.

Jiang Tai walked out with the support of Yue Ling'er, and the first thing they saw was the unconscious Xiao Yi and Gu Junhe.

Jiang Tai's face changed, and he quickly asked, "Principal Gu, Xiao, is he...?"

"He's fine!"

Gu Junhe shook his head and frowned at Jiang Tai, "What about you? What happened to you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi was fine, Jiang Tai also relaxed and then bitterly recounted everything that had happened in the secret realm to Gu Junhe, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Xiao to be so terrifying, even Ye Feng was killed by him..."

"Not just Ye Feng?"

Gu wore a strange expression and moved his mouth towards a side, "Zhang Tianyi and Zhuang Bifan were both killed by him. Jin Sheng from the Nine Profound Sect also had an arm severed by him and fled in a sorry state..."

Hiss!

Jiang Tai and Yue Ling'er took a sharp breath, exchanging glances and seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Zhuang Bifan and Jin Sheng!

They were both high-level Golden Core practitioners from the older generation.

They were killed by Xiao Yi?

Seeing the astonishment that left the two at a loss for words, Gu Junhe thought for a moment but decided not to tell them that Xiao Yi had fought Wu Yu, who was at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, for dozens of rounds without falling at a disadvantage!

To avoid hitting them too hard and making them lose their confidence in pursuing the martial path.

Yue Ling'er sized up Xiao Yi with curiosity and suspicion sparkling in her phoenix eyes.

The first time they met.

Yue Ling'er didn't think much of Xiao Yi at all.

When they met again.

In front of her, Xiao Yi had slain Ling Feng, making it hard for her to believe.

Now, the third time they met...

Even though Xiao Yi was unconscious, his battle achievements had also shaken her heart.

Gu Junhe glanced at the secret realm entrance behind them and frowned, "Logically, now that you've broken through the main tomb, others should have come out too. How come it's only you two..."

"They're all dead, I suppose!" said Yue Ling'er.

"Hmm?"

Gu Junhe was taken aback, "Was the competition in the secret realm that intense?"

Jiang Tai glanced at the unconscious Xiao Yi and said with a bitter smile, "Most of them were killed by Junior Brother Xiao!"

"Eh... He killed them?"

Gu Junhe looked confused.

Twenty people each from the royal family and the Royal Martial Arts Academy, ten each from the Nine Profound Sect and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, four from Mingjian Manor, and ten from the Tianlan Kingdom.

All seventy or eighty people were killed by Xiao Yi?

Gu Junhe looked down at the unconscious Xiao Yi, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said with a wry smile, "This guy... Does he have such a heavy killing intent?"

Yue Ling'er said, "Elder Gu, it was those people who tried to take Xiao Yi's life first, that's why he killed them!"

Gu Junhe let out a sound.

Jiang Tai looked at her with a strange expression, "Ling'er, you... seem to be very concerned about Xiao, aren't you?"

"Wha, what..."

Yue Ling'er's face turned red with embarrassment.

But from the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance over at Xiao Yi from time to time.

Jiang Tai's expression turned thoughtful.

Gu Junhe shook his head and said, "Since no one else is coming out, we can also close the entrance to the secret realm!"

With a wave of his hand, the secret realm's entrance dispersed into nothingness.

Out of the blue, Jiang Tai said, "Elder, this is a Martial Dao Divine Fruit that I acquired from the ancient tomb!"

"You keep it,"

Gu Junhe waved his hand, not even glancing at the Martial Dao Divine Fruit, for he was still young and fully capable of breaking through to the Tao Tribulation Realm on his own, "Let's head back first! Next up, the Royal Capital is going to be a lively place indeed…"

Gu Junhe whistled.

High above in the sky.

The Cangyun Eagle flapped its wings and descended, carrying a few people as they soared into the air...

......

Just as Gu Junhe had predicted.

The Royal Capital indeed became bustling with excitement, with everyone from noble lords to commoners in the streets discussing the battle in the secret realm.

And the most famous from this battle was naturally Xiao Yi!

He had slain nearly eighty young talents from various major forces!

Fighting one against three, killing the lord of Mingjian Manor, grievously wounding the elder of Nine Profound Sect, and clashing with a peak Golden Elixir Realm powerhouse for dozens of rounds without falling behind, and so on...

A series of such news spread through the entire Royal Capital like a plague.

Xiao Yi became famous in one battle!

Simultaneously...

The news that Xiao Yi had agreed to fight Zhou Yuan and flatten the Martial Arts Institute in three months also spread rapidly, with the source being none other than Treasure Pavilion, the very same entity in charge of the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List!

Treasure Pavilion's influence extended across the Heavenly Yuan Realm, and its intelligence network was immensely powerful, with eyes and ears everywhere.

On this day.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion.

It was already a sea of people.

"The latest Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List is about to go on sale soon, where do you think Xiao Yi will rank?"

"He must be in the top three!"

"Top three? You are underestimating him. Xiao Yi killed Zhang Tianyi, the second-ranked of the Tianlan Kingdom's Teng Long List, and the lord of Mingjian Manor. I think he might very well challenge for first place!"

"First place? That's impossible. Great Prince Jiang Shanhe has been at the ninth layer of the Golden Elixir Realm for two years, firmly holding the top spot on the Teng Long List. Xiao Yi cannot surpass him!"

"I heard that Xiao Yi is only at the fourth layer of the Golden Elixir Realm. There's still a significant gap between him and the Great Prince, so it's unlikely he'll surpass the Great Prince any time soon."

"I think Xiao Yi has a good chance of challenging for first place..."

Among the crowd, there was a heated debate.

More than half of their focus in the debate was whether Xiao Yi could surpass Jiang Shanhe and become the first-ranked on the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List and Teng Long List.

Being first on the Teng Long List.

That also signified the glory of being the foremost among the Tianqing Kingdom's younger generation.

It was a matter of significant importance!

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the doors of the Treasure Pavilion slowly opened.

A young man stood at the doorway and shouted, "The latest edition of the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List is now on sale, one hundred Gold Coins per copy, limited to one copy per person!"

Whoosh!

The crowd rushed in, frantically purchasing.

Moments later...

A young man squeezed out from the crowd, eagerly flipping open the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List. Upon seeing the contents, he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, "This, this..."
