Chapter 440: The Mysterious Man
When Song Yourong told Xu Dingfeng to call her Miss Song, Song Dingfeng started laughing and said, "Heh heh, Yourong, those words of yours are too foreign to say. Don"t ruin the relationship between us just because of the fight over a treasure."
Song Yourong was furious but she could not win against the other party"s thick skin, so she could only frown and get angry.
Ning Feiming, who was standing beside Xu Dingfeng, had a proud look on his face. He looked at Ye Xiao and said lightly, "Who is this little brother?"
Ye Xiao smiled indifferently. He first glanced at Song Yourong and then calmly answered, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Huh?"
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned. No one expected Ye Xiao to say this. After all, Ning Feiming was a famous Formation Grandmaster.
However, Ning Feiming wasn"t angry. He continued to smile and said, "I am Ning Feiming, how should I address you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Ye Xiao again replied expressionlessly.
Having been choked twice by Ye Xiao in a row, Ning Feiming"s expression immediately turned cold.
Xu Dingfeng said sarcastically, "Brother Ning, why do you have to get angry at this brat? He is just a country b.u.mpkin found by my junior sister to a.s.sist her, if we are to quarrel with such a person, we will only weaken our ident.i.ties."
"Xu Dingfeng, please be careful when you speak. Ye Xiao is also an Immortal Formation Grandmaster just like Senior Ning Feiming." Song Yourong unceremoniously struck back when she heard Xu Dingfeng calling Ye Xiao country b.u.mpkin.
When everyone heard that Ye Xiao was actually an Immortal Formation Grandmaster, all of them were shocked, including Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming. But when they saw how young Ye Xiao looked, they didn"t think much of Ye Xiao and only thought that Song Yourong was bluffing just to save her face.
Xu Dingfeng sneered and thought, "Today is the last time you"ll talk to me like this."
"Guild Leader, here!"
At this time, a loud voice was immediately transmitted over from the surrounding of the platform.
The hearts of everyone present froze as they all turned to look in the same direction.
The higher-ups of the Formation Guild walked over one after another. The one in the lead was thinner, but even so, his eyes were flashing with a heroic spirit that ordinary people did not have.
This person was the Leader of the Formation Guild, Su Hao.
Behind Su Hao was a slightly fat old man with a round face and a white beard.
He was the Great Elder of the Formation Guild and it was also because of him that the Second and Third Elder didn"t dare to directly give away the treasure of the Formation Guild to Xu Dingfeng.
Behind Su Hao, on the left, there were two middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties. Of course, their age was far more than just forty years. One of these two people was wearing green and the other was wearing a blue robe.
They were the second and third elders who stood by Xu Dingfeng"s side!
Ye Xiao squinted his eyes, secretly exclaiming in his heart. This Fomrtain Guild was indeed worthy of being one of the powerful forces of the Golden Kingdom. The Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were all experts of the Early Stage Immortal Emperor Realm while the Formation Guild Leader was an expert at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
"Greetings Guild Leader and Elders!"
Everyone present bowed respectfully.
Out of politeness, Ye Xiao also clasped his hands together and slightly bowed but no one looked at him. All the elders including the Formation Guild Leader were looking at Ning Feiming!
"He is Ning Feiming from the Ning Family?" Su Hao frowned and looked at Ning Feiming in surprise.
"Junior Ning Feiming greets Guild Leader Su!" Ning Feiming"s face revealed a somewhat amiable smile, but the arrogance in his eyes became increasingly stronger.
Su Hao"s expression turned slightly ugly. In the past ten years, Ning Feiming"s reputation had risen exponentially throughout the entire Golden Kingdom.
"I didn"t expect Xu Dingfeng to invite me here!" Su Hao thought in his heart.
The outcome of today"s compet.i.tion could only be described as disastrous.
He then looked at Ye Xiao, who was standing beside Song Yourong. Song Yourong had already informed Su Hao how Ye Xiao defeated her and he was also an Immortal Formation Grandmaster. But now, in his eyes, although Ye Xiao was also a talented person, but compared to Ning Feiming, he was still lacking.
Su Hao sighed secretly. Did the heavens want his Formation Guild to lose its only Top Grade Immortal Rank treasure?
It was at this moment when a strong gust of wind blew as a person, fully covered in black, descended from the sky. This person"s face was impossible to see but the pressure and aura it was giving off were terrifying.
Even the Guild Leader of the Formation Guild"s aura was suppressed in front of this person. This person was the mysterious man that took away Xu Dingfeng two years ago. He was also the one standing behind Xu Dingfeng.
From this person"s aura, Ye Xiao could tell that this person was a Late-Stage Immortal Emperor Rank martial artist.
But what really caught Ye Xiao"s attention was not this man but the "skull" on his left hand. It actually had a reaction when this person in black descended from the sky.
"Hmm?"
As if sensing something, the man covered in black clothes turned at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao could feel that this man was looking at him coldly. He could also feel the killing intent overflowing from the mysterious person.
He immediately understood that this person was either a Demonic Cultivator or a Demon. He thought that this person was going to take action against him immediately, but to Ye Xiao"s surprise, the man in black turned at Xu Dingfeng and said, "I have something to do, so I"ll be going. Remember, if you want that thing, you have to prove yourself first by breaking this formation and becoming the winner."
Saying this, without waiting for Xu Dingfeng to react, the man in black again turned at Ye Xiao before flying away.
Ye Xiao immediately guessed that this person will definitely attack him. Maybe, he didn"t attack him because there are so many people here and he didn"t want to expose his ident.i.ty as the Demonic Cultivator or Demon.
But the arrival of this person confirmed one thing for Ye Xiao. This Xu Dingfeng is definitely related to the Demons.
At this moment, Xu Dingfeng had his hand clenched into a fist tightly, as if he was swearing that he"ll definitely become the winner and win over the treasure of the Formation Guild.
Seeing that the man in black has left, the Guild Leader of the Formation Guild and the Great Elder took a deep breath. They looked at Ye Xiao because they noticed the man in black turning at Ye Xiao a few times to look at him.
Calming down, Su Hao looked at the crowd in front of him before looking at Song Yourong with a dispirited face. Taking a deep sigh, he said, "Let"s start!"
Su Hao had already mentally prepared himself for a long time for his loss. It is because he had met the mysterious man one time before. It was when Xu Dingfeng returned to the Formation Guild. He already knew that this mysterious man is definitely not a simple person.
Furthermore, since Xu Dingfeng dared to challenge the entire Formation Guild"s younger generation, he must be confident that he"ll definitely win.
Although there were many feelings of unwillingness in Su Hao"s heart, he would probably be unable to protect the only Top Grade Immortal Rank treasure of the Formation Guild that is pa.s.sed down to the guild from generations.
Song Yourong naturally knew the meaning behind Su Hao"s gaze. She clenched her lily-white hands tightly and thought to herself, "I will not give up until the very last moment."
Immediately, Su Hao and the other higher-ups sat on the row of chairs in front of the large platform.
Many of the surrounding Formation Guild"s disciples also retreated to the two sides, opening up an empty s.p.a.ce under the platform.
Ye Xiao and Song Yourong, Xu Dingfeng, and Ning Feiming also stood at the left and right sides of the platform.
"Bring me the incense table." The third elder in blue clothes stood up and walked in front of Ye Xiao and Song Yourong, and said.
Afterwards, two disciples of Formation Guild smoothly carried a square table to the bottom of the stage.
The square table was two meters long and one meter wide!
The Third Elder walked to the square table, held two incense sticks, looked at the two teams who were standing opposite to each other, and said, "Both of you, take your place. Remember, when I"ll light up the incense stick in my hand, you"ll start breaking the formation."
"Both of you will have only one hour of time. After one hour, winner and loser will be decided."
