Chapter 2272: Chapter 2272: Interception!

Yue Shan returned to Zhou Yu after the meeting and said respectfully:

"Senior, you should have heard everything just now."

"Now, the Black Gold Canyon has spotted traces of the Ginseng Immortal, and there are magic treasures that can detect the Ginseng Immortal’s presence."

"Therefore, these powerful cultivators are all coming for the Ginseng Immortal."

As Yue Shan was speaking, suddenly several Divinity Transformation Realm experts approached.

"Brother Yue, you’ve heard about the Ginseng Immortal, right?"

Yue Shan nodded and said:

"Just found out."

"What brings you here, fellow Daoists?"

One of the middle-aged men said:

"Brother Yue, the few of us plan to enter the Black Gold Canyon together to find the Ginseng Immortal."

"Your familiarity with the Black Gold Canyon is well-known; we would like to invite you to join us."

"If you can help us find the Ginseng Immortal, we can offer Brother Yue at least this amount as a reward."

The middle-aged man extended five fingers.

Yue Shan was stunned.

"Five million Spirit Stones?"

The middle-aged man chuckled.

"Brother Yue jests; with your reputation, wouldn’t five million be too meager?"

"Fifty million!"

Upon hearing this figure, Yue Shan showed a sign of being moved.

This time, Yu Ruo only spent ten million when inviting him.

Little did he expect these people were willing to offer such a high price of fifty million.

At this moment, Yu Ruo, standing beside, naturally noticed that Yue Shan was tempted.

She immediately approached Yue Shan and said:

"Daoist Yue, the matter of the Ginseng Immortal is being watched by so many people, and more will surely come."

"Whether it can be found is yet another matter."

"Even if found, there will surely be a bloody confrontation."

"Daoist Yue, you’d better think it through."

"Do you really want to risk everything to get involved?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Shan’s expression changed slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the few people and said:

"Thank you all for your appreciation, but unfortunately, I already have other tasks and cannot split my attention. I apologize."

The few people sighed and then left.

At this moment, Yue Shan and Yu Ruo returned to Zhou Yu’s side.

Yu Ruo feared delay might cause change, so she immediately said:

"Senior Zhou, shall we enter the canyon now?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Alright."

Then, Yu Ruo quickly paid the entry fee to the canyon, obtained the Demon Avoidance Talisman, and the three of them headed towards the entrance.

However, at this moment.

Two more people suddenly blocked Zhou Yu and the others.

These two were among the three Peak Void Refinement Realm experts Zhou Yu had discovered earlier.

One of the two scrutinized Yue Shan and then said with an imposing aura:

"You must be Yue Shan?"

Yue Shan was startled, quickly bowed, and replied:

"Indeed, I am the junior."

"I’ve heard that you’re the most familiar with this Black Gold Canyon?"

Yue Shan smiled wryly and said:

"It’s just other Daoists’ appreciation."

Upon hearing this, the person commanded:

"So it is!"

"Very well."

"Tomorrow, Daoist Miao and I will enter the canyon."

"You’ll accompany the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruo immediately stepped forward and said:

"Seniors, Daoist Yue has already agreed to come with us, and I’m afraid he’s too occupied to accompany both seniors."

Once this was said.

The person immediately snorted coldly.

"How bold."

"A mere Nascent Soul Realm level ant dares to be impudent before this old man!"

As soon as this was said, Yu Ruo seemed struck by a heavy blow.

She instantly spat out blood and her figure flew backward.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu frowned, immediately reaching out to catch Yu Ruo.

This sudden scene caught everyone’s attention.

Including the earlier Elder Yan.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Elder Yan’s figure flashed, arriving instantly before Yu Ruo, then coldly looked at the two.

"The two of you, it’s forbidden to use force here."

These two naturally realized Elder Yan’s cultivation wasn’t weaker than theirs.

But, Elder Yan was still just one person, while they were two.

The person chuckled coldly, took a step forward, confronting and staring him down.

"What if we insist on fighting?"

"Do you think you alone can stop the two of us?"

As he spoke, a barely noticeable gray light flashed in his eyes.

In an instant, Elder Yan felt a fleeting sense of disorientation.

But in the next moment, he recovered to normal.

At this moment, Elder Yan’s heart was filled with shock.

This person’s cultivation was comparable, yet that maneuver nearly made him lose his focus.

If this person had launched an attack earlier, he might have...

Elder Yan quickly realized that these two were undoubtedly top experts.

But Elder Yan was the person in charge here; naturally, he couldn’t be intimidated by anything.

Elder Yan coldly gazed at them and said:

"Gentlemen, your cultivation is not weak."

"However, that doesn’t allow you to break the rules here."

"Otherwise, I’ll immediately notify Black Cloud City’s Law Enforcement Pavilion, and their elders will arrive very quickly."

"I can clearly tell you that all the elders from the Law Enforcement Pavilion are Integration Realm or above masters."

"Once they arrive, you two will not only fail to enter the Black Gold Canyon, but you wouldn’t even be able to leave."

As soon as this was said, indeed, the person showed a trace of dread.

He turned to look at his companion behind him.

"Brother Miao, is what he said true?"

The person called Brother Miao thought for a moment and said:

"It seems there is such a thing."

"But, I also remember that if there’s any dispute here, it can be resolved through the duel arena."

"Brother Ghost, you might want to try that."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost surnamed man immediately chuckled coldly.

He looked at Elder Yan.

"Is there such a rule for the duel arena?"

Elder Yan took a deep breath, nodded.

"Indeed there is."

"You can resolve disputes at the duel arena."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost surnamed man immediately sneered at Yu Ruo.

"If you don’t want to die, scram."

"Otherwise, we’ll go to the duel arena."

Yu Ruo’s face became extremely troubled.

She was only at the Nascent Soul Realm level of cultivation; how could she dare to duel this Peak Void Refinement Realm expert?

She immediately looked at Zhou Yu and transmitted:

"Senior Zhou."

"Daoist Yue is crucial for us. Without him, our journey will likely be challenging, and success isn’t guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu said calmly:

"So, you mean you want me to duel for you?"

"This person is at the peak of Void Refinement Realm; do you think I’m his match?"

Yu Ruo gritted her teeth and said:

"Although Yu Ruo is only at Nascent Soul Realm, I do have my sources."

"Senior, when you saved the prince of the Heaven Puppet Clan, you single-handedly destroyed two Giant Battle Spirit Boats and killed hundreds of Divine Horn Clan experts."

"This girl believes senior certainly has the ability to defeat this person."

"I humbly request senior to lend a hand once."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Didn’t expect you to investigate so thoroughly."

"If that’s the case, I’ll make a move this time."

With that, Zhou Yu stepped forward and looked at the Ghost surnamed man.

"Since you want a duel, I’ll accompany you for a game..."
