Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 472 - 468: Divine Dream Elder, Nangong Jin

Several people, including Zheng Changnian, all had smiles on their faces.

It seemed like disdain, it seemed like sympathy, and it even seemed like pity.

Standing beside Zheng Changnian, Ying Jiu had an added look of disgust in her eyes.

Shen Han hiding his strength like that previously made her lose face.

This time, Zheng Changnian would help her vent her anger.

Shen Han turned his head and glanced at them, his face as indifferent as ever, unconcerned about their display.

Seeing no panic on Shen Han’s face, a few of them felt the fun lacked a bit.

"I didn’t expect, you really dare to come.

Originally, Brother Changnian said he’d go to the Star Tower to spar with you after this qualification competition.

Absolutely unexpected, you really came this time.

How can someone with such little skill be so bold?"

Zheng Changnian did not speak, but Guan Yutang, standing beside him, was the first to speak.

Seeing him speak, Shen Han couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

"Someone who lost to me still dares to talk like that?"

Shen Han remained indifferent, merely glancing at Guan Yutang.

Then he turned and went back to the camp, uninterested in arguing with them.

Guan Yutang had not responded to Shen Han’s retort.

By the time he thought of a reply, Shen Han had already left, leaving him filled with suppressed anger.

"Alright, let him enjoy his fleeting moment of tongue-lashing.

In tomorrow’s match, as long as he dares to step into the Spring Mountain Range, I’ll vent your anger for you."

Zheng Changnian softly comforted those around him.

This qualification match is, in fact, a mission for these disciples of Cangxuan Valley.

Two months ago at the Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition, Cangxuan Valley lost face in front of everyone.

The top disciples of Cangxuan Valley naturally bear the responsibility of regaining honor for their valley.

The first task is to thoroughly suppress Shen Han,

trampling him underfoot, leaving him with no shred of dignity in front of everyone.

Secondly, it’s to possibly make a move against the Star Tower disciples.

This is to warn other sects that coming to Cangxuan Valley to poach will bring the fiercest retaliation.

During a summer night in the Spring Mountain, the stars were scattered across the sky, and a bright moon hung high.

Sitting on the ground in front of the camp, one felt an indescribable sense of ease.

Today was leisurely, but from tomorrow on, the three-day qualification competition will be very intense.

After a night passed, it was only 5:00 AM, and the sky was already bright.

At the foot of the Spring Mountain, people from each sect were already waiting for the start of the qualification match.

Shen Han stood among the crowd from Star Tower, his expression as usual.

On the side of Cangxuan Valley, a group of people were pointing at Shen Han.

They seemed intent on remembering Shen Han.

After all, during the Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition, many disciples did not attend to observe.

They had heard of him but did not know what Shen Han looked like.

Remembering what he looked like would help them know whom to target after entering the Spring Mountain.

At 6:15 AM, the Valley Master of Cangxuan Valley, Yue Bugong, walked over to the crowd.

As the strongest sect in the Northern Three Domains, it’s customary for each qualification match to be opened with a speech by Yue Bugong.

Suspended in the air, Yue Bugong began his speech.

The opening speech was just the usual polite talk about the need for unity in the Northern Three Domains and that disciples should be friendly to one another.

Amusingly, he emphasized being mindful during the matches and not harming opponents once victory was decided.

But this time, Cangxuan Valley had already planned to make a move against Shen Han.

The so-called warning to not harm opponents was something they would certainly disregard.

After the polite words, Yue Bugong started to introduce the judge for this qualification match.

The Northern Three Domains were like a circle, usually interacting only among themselves.

So, the judge was actually the sect leaders of the eight strongest sects.

But to appear a little more fair, they invited Elder Wu Pu from White Blade City this time.

Hearing his name called, Elder Wu Pu stood up and greeted everyone.

White Blade City is a sect within the Inner Domain, not as strong as the Celestial Sword Sect, but still a major sect in the Inner Domain.

If not for owing a favor, Wu Pu would have no interest in coming here.

But since he was already here, he had to put on a show.

In two more quarters, it would be 7:00 AM.

The time for the qualification match to begin.

As Yue Bugong paused in his speech, a deep voice drifted over from afar.

"Could you save a spot for me among the judges?"

As the voice fell, an elder with a white long beard arrived gracefully.

With an aura of an immortal, he looked like a master.

Hearing this, everyone’s attention shifted with a hint of vigilance as they looked at him.

Even someone as strong as Yue Bugong couldn’t see through this person’s depth.

For a moment, everyone had a sense of facing an enemy, feeling that this person had come to cause trouble.

"Your Excellency suddenly visiting, what is your purpose?

This is a competition of the Northern Three Domains, held here consistently. We should not have troubled you?"

As a representative of the Northern Three Domains, Yue Bugong stepped forward to confront him.

He didn’t want to start a conflict, so his tone remained polite.

Before this white-bearded elder could reply, Zheng Changnian suddenly stepped forward from the crowd.

"Elder Jin? Is it you, Elder Jin?"

"Young friend Changnian has spent months with me, yet can’t you recognize?

Who else could it be but me?"

Hearing Zheng Changnian speak to him, the elder face of Elder Jin broke into a kind smile and spoke.

"With Elder Jin dressed like this, it’s not that easy to recognize..."

Zheng Changnian seemed to have a good relationship with Elder Jin, even showing a bit of a reproachful tone in his words.

"Back then, I was experiencing the flavors of life.

When you met me, I was in the guise of a farmer, so that was my attire."

"Experiencing life... Elder Jin, you really live leisurely..."

In front of so many people, the two chatted as if there was no one else around.

However, the next moment, Elder Wu Pu, not far away, suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait a moment, Elder Jin...

Are you... are you Divine Dream Elder, Nangong Jin?"

Not knowing what status this Nangong Jin had, but even the elder of White Blade City used "you" to address him.

Instantly, the leaders of all the sects turned to look at Wu Pu.

Because this Nangong Jin was not famous in the Outer Domain.

After hearing Wu Pu’s words, Nangong Jin, who was hovering in the air, turned his head to look at Wu Pu.

"I didn’t expect that in a place like this, someone would still recognize me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Pu immediately stood up and saluted.

"Elder Jin’s fame is widespread, and I, as an elder of White Blade City, have seen Elder Jin from afar before.

If you don’t mind, Elder Jin, after this qualification match, please visit us at White Blade City."

Though Nangong Jin declined, Wu Pu remained courteous.

Yue Bugong, standing at the same level, also quickly landed on the ground to show his respect.
