Chapter 2601: Changsun Xingyu

"I, He Yunxiang, second of Huayang City, am willing to submit to you, sir!"

He Yunxiang came before Ye Yuan, bowed deeply, and said words that shocked everyone.

Di Xing was stunned on the spot.

He thought He Yunxiang was going to fight Ye Yuan to the death, but instead he directly backed down!

Brother, have some backbone, will you?

After all, you're the second!

Sure enough, his words caused an uproar throughout the city.

"Is this for real? He Yunxiang actually... directly surrendered?"

"It shouldn't be, right? That kid won, but barely! He Yunxiang can't possibly be unable to beat those few."

"If He Yunxiang concedes, doesn't that mean this kid will directly face Changsun Xingyu?"

...

They couldn't believe that He Yunxiang had no backbone at all and surrendered without even fighting.

In their view, with Ye Yuan so arrogant, neither Di Xing nor He Yunxiang would let him off.

It was even possible they might join forces.

Who would have thought he'd back down?

Ye Yuan looked at He Yunxiang and said calmly, "Your strength is not weak. Don't you want to fight?"

He Yunxiang said, "My strength is indeed not weak, but I know you, sir, didn't use your full power!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Who is the first?"

He Yunxiang was startled and said, "Changsun Xingyu!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "In three days, if Changsun Xingyu doesn't show up, go tear down the city lord's mansion!"

He Yunxiang's expression changed, and a flash of surprise crossed his mind.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to see through his plan at a glance!

Indeed, he was very wary of Ye Yuan.

But his direct submission also had another intention.

He planned to use Ye Yuan to deal with Changsun Xingyu.

If Ye Yuan won, his submission would naturally be no problem.

If he lost, it wouldn't be much of a loss for him.

But Ye Yuan had clearly seen through his thoughts.

Ye Yuan ordering him to tear down the city lord's mansion was to send him to the front line.

Once he actually made a move, it would be equivalent to burning bridges.

He Yunxiang never expected that this seemingly immature sect disciple could be so shrewd.

"This... As you command!" He Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

He always had a feeling that facing Ye Yuan was like facing Changsun Xingyu back then.

Even more terrifying than Changsun Xingyu!

This was the intuition of an expert.

Unreasonable, but accurate!

Just as Ye Yuan knew his strength was considerable without even sparring with him, it was the same principle.

So, after hesitating for a moment, He Yunxiang still chose to submit to Ye Yuan.

But his actions, in Di Xing's eyes, were a great shock.

He had only been surprised for a moment before understanding He Yunxiang's purpose.

But who knew that after Ye Yuan's coercion, He Yunxiang still chose to submit!

This was too astonishing!

Could this guy really be that formidable?

After hesitating repeatedly, Di Xing also came before Ye Yuan, cupped his hands, and said, "Di Xing, third of Huayang City, is willing to submit to you, sir!"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said calmly, "Mm, since you also choose to submit, then go with He Yunxiang when the time comes."

Di Xing's mouth twitched slightly, but he still replied, "Yes!"

With these two taking the lead, how could the others among the top hundred dare to refuse?

Those people came out one after another to express their submission to Ye Yuan.

Everyone was stunned.

This sect disciple had been in Huayang City for less than half a day and had already convinced all ninety-nine of the top hundred.

Such strength was truly breathtaking!

After all, the strong in the Land of Exile weren't born this powerful.

They had grown stronger through countless life-and-death battles.

But as soon as Ye Yuan entered, he was already this strong?

Then how great was his potential?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yuan waited three days, but Changsun Xingyu did not come.

Then he would have to go find him himself.

Spoken words are like spilled water; naturally, they cannot be taken back.

"Changsun Xingyu hasn't made a move in ten years! Ten years ago, ten of me combined couldn't defeat him! As for how strong he is now, no one knows! Sir, do you really want to challenge him?" He Yunxiang said solemnly.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "It's not a challenge. Those who don't submit will be killed!"

In the first layer of the Land of Exile, he had come to conquer!

Those exiled here all deserved death.

Ye Yuan had given them a chance. Since Changsun Xingyu didn't know how to cherish it, he wouldn't be polite.

He Yunxiang and the others were awestruck and dared not say more.

The city lord's mansion was not luxurious. In fact, in this space where the weak were prey to the strong, people did not pursue luxury.

What they pursued was ultimate power.

Because these people understood that luxury would only lead to their堕落.

Even the number one of Huayang City could not afford any slack.

Otherwise, they would soon be replaced.

"He Yunxiang, Di Xing!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

The two were extremely reluctant, but at this moment, they had no choice.

If they didn't act, it would be war.

But the consequences of war would be theirs to bear.

The two exchanged glances and struck at the same time!

Each unleashed a palm strike, the momentum extremely terrifying.

Even Ye Yuan's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

Just then, a gust of palm wind drifted out from the city lord's mansion, directly meeting He Yunxiang and the other.

Boom!

The two spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

A young man in blue robes walked out of the city lord's mansion with his hands behind his back.

He Yunxiang and the other's eyes showed horror.

"Changsun Xingyu! This guy is much stronger than he was ten years ago!" Di Xing said.

He Yunxiang clutched his chest and said solemnly, "The ten city lords hold a discussion every year. Only they know the outcome! Changsun Xingyu has clearly improved a lot in these ten years!"

The ten city lords were the supremes of the first layer of the Land of Exile.

They had no opponents.

Sparring with those below was a waste of time.

So, the ten city lords held a discussion among themselves every year.

But this discussion was never made public.

Only they knew how terrifying the strength of these ten was.

Now it seemed that Changsun Xingyu's strength was more than a notch above what it was ten years ago.

One palm repelled two strong men!

With this strength, even thirty He Yunxiangs would be no match.

Changsun Xingyu strolled out and said calmly, "Kid, you have good talent! I gave you a chance, but there are roads in heaven you don't take; there are no gates in hell you barge in! Since you seek death, don't blame me."

Changsun Xingyu's face bore an arrogant confidence that looked down on everything.

As the city lord, how could he not know such a big event happening in the city?

But he didn't come, which showed his attitude.

He disdained to make a move against Ye Yuan.

Or rather, Ye Yuan wasn't worthy of his making a move!

But Ye Yuan attacking the city lord's mansion was another matter.

Ye Yuan looked at Changsun Xingyu and said calmly, "Is that so? Those are exactly the words I wanted to say to you."
