The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 136: Unparalleled Spiritual Artifact

Kang Yahui and the others shook their heads: "We’re really not familiar with this place!"

Although the Shuanglong Tower in Ever-Bright City is well-known, the elites of these prominent families and martial arts sects treat it with disdain.

In their eyes, this place is nothing but a gathering of ragtag misfits, following crooked paths.

Thus, Ever-Bright City is actually not famous in these upper-class circles.

It’s normal for Qiaoqiao and others not to know it.

Li Zhixuan smiled brightly: "Well then, let me take you there today. I believe this is the most wonderful place in the Northwest."

"By the way, rascal, can you acquire the magical treasure you mentioned?"

Kang Yahui asked cautiously.

Li Zhixuan’s lazy demeanor suddenly shifted, his eyes shooting cold beams: "No one here can match me in this place! In the entire Northwest, I might temporarily hold back when encountering Ling Zhantian of the Northern Army of Five Dragons of Huaxia, but everyone else is like ants to me, just waiting to be stomped."

"You sure talk big. Can you even imagine the Huaxia Martial Arts Realm? You’re bragging so much you’d better not bite your tongue."

Qiaoqiao naturally couldn’t stand Li Zhixuan’s attitude.

Compared to Ye Xiaoyao, who dominates the Northwest, Li Zhixuan is merely like a small-time thug.

"Talking big? Woman, you seem unconvinced by me. How about we go across to the hotel for some sparring later?"

Li Zhixuan joked, full of roguish charm.

"You damn rascal, hurry up and take us in!"

Kang Yahui pinched the soft flesh at Li Zhixuan’s waist.

"Ouch, it hurts, ouch..."

Li Zhixuan howled in pain as they entered the Shuanglong Tower.

Soon, Ye Qingtian and Fan Jingyu arrived at Shuanglong Tower in Ever-Bright City.

Shuanglong Tower is a gathering place for martial artists in Ever-Bright City, and Fan Jingyu, having been here multiple times, knew the place well.

The Shuanglong Tower was bustling with activity, as it’s rumored that an unparalleled spiritual artifact would appear, attracting many martial artists.

"Huh? Junior Brother Fan, you’ve actually come."

As soon as Ye Qingtian and Fan Jingyu arrived, voices rang out around them.

There were now two women and one man beside them.

The woman who spoke was dressed in a red combat attire, her face cold and aloof, exuding a powerful aura, evidently a mid-stage martial form martial artist.

Beside her, a little beauty blinked at Fan Jingyu.

The man was about the same age as Ye Qingtian, with a similarly superior demeanor, looking at Fan Jingyu with displeasure.

"Senior sister, you’re here too?"

Fan Jingyu was surprised with a hint of excitement.

"Who are these people?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

Fan Jingyu was taken aback, not expecting Ye Qingtian’s interest.

"Young Master Ye, this is my senior sister Liu Piaoying, my junior sister Liu Piao’er, and my senior brother Tan Keqin. We are disciples of Blood Hand Demon Venerable, considered an eccentric and unorthodox sect within the martial arts world. Thus, few know my identity as a martial artist, and besides the Fan Family, nobody knows."

Fan Jingyu quietly introduced to Ye Qingtian.

Tan Keqin glanced at Ye Qingtian and sneered: "Young Master Ye? Could it be another family’s heir again, Junior Brother Fan? You haven’t returned to the sect in a long time; your strength hasn’t improved at all. It’s no wonder you’ve been mixing with these ordinary folk."

"I..."

Fan Jingyu was momentarily speechless; since leaving the sect, he had been busy with mundane matters, with no improvement in his abilities.

Tan Keqin stood with hands behind his back, face full of arrogance: "I have now reached the same realm as Senior Sister, just advanced to mid-stage martial form! Junior Brother Fan, you need to work harder!"

"Hahaha..."

Fan Jingyu couldn’t help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing? Do you belittle me?"

Tan Keqin asked in astonishment.

"No!"

Fan Jingyu suppressed his laughter and instinctively glanced at Ye Qingtian.

Tan Keqin observed closely, capturing everything.

"What do you mean? Does the young master beside you have extensive knowledge? Want to spar?"

Tan Keqin was furious.

"Junior brother, there’s no need to bother with an ordinary person."

Liu Piaoying said coldly.

With that, she turned and walked into the pavilion.

Ye Qingtian wasn’t even worth a second glance to her.

Except for having good looks, he held no attraction.

Even Fan Jingyu didn’t attract her, let alone him.

As they entered the pavilion, it grew more crowded.

But everyone was seated at tables, quietly waiting.

Ye Qingtian and Fan Jingyu followed Liu Piaoying and the others to a table.

"Junior Brother Fan, you indeed need to work harder!"

Liu Piaoying glanced at Fan Jingyu and said.

"Yes, Senior Sister!"

"I have two good news to tell you. First, Senior Brother has advanced to the half-step Martial King realm."

Liu Piaoying’s eyes lit up with pride.

"Really? That’s terrifying."

"The second news is that Senior Brother joined the Thunder God Special Forces, and Ling Tianlong didn’t mind his status and even appointed him vice-captain. With guidance from Ling Tianlong, it’s likely only a matter of time before Senior Brother advances to the Martial King realm. It’s a great honor for our sect!"

Liu Piaoying spoke of her senior brother with excitement, shedding her aloof demeanor.

Women in the martial arts world tend to admire power, especially when it’s similar to their own.

The other two echoed: "Indeed, Senior Brother is the first genius of our sect."

Liu Piaoying’s expression turned serious as she seemed reminded of something.

"Since you’re at Shuanglong Tower today, you must be aware of tonight’s event. Many powerful figures will be vying for the unparalleled spiritual artifact, so I hope you and your friend don’t cause any trouble. We won’t be able to help you out."

Liu Piaoying warned.

"Yes, you two behave and don’t cause any trouble. We won’t clean up after you."

Tan Keqin’s eyes showed disdain.

In a certain pavilion in Shuanglong Tower.

"Master Tang, Fan Jingyu and the mysterious one didn’t seem to pursue, as they seem to have disappeared after leaving Dingsheng."

A message came from Master Tang’s subordinate.

"Oh? Could they have other plans? But this is advantageous to us; we need to act swiftly. Recruit more powerful figures; I must settle this grudge!"

Master Tang’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Soon, the atmosphere in Shuanglong Tower became lively.

Everyone eagerly awaited the appearance of the unparalleled spiritual artifact.

"Senior Sister, have you heard? It’s said that if this artifact is used properly, it can rival a Martial King powerhouse."

Tan Keqin said.

"If a Martial King obtains it, their power would surely double."

Liu Piaoying said with a solemn expression.

"Wow, the unparalleled spiritual artifact is indeed enticing enough; over twenty martial forms have appeared, and Ever-Bright City has never been so lively."

Tan Keqin exclaimed.

Liu Piaoying was calm: "The real spectacle is yet to come; I’ve heard several Martial Kings are participating."

"Hiss! That’s terrifying!"

Tan Keqin couldn’t help but gasp.

"Everyone, quiet down; Master Tang is coming out."

Suddenly, a voice shouted from the second floor of the pavilion.

The place instantly quieted, as everyone knew Master Tang’s appearance meant the arrival of the unparalleled spiritual artifact.
