Chapter 1 The Bumbling Savior

　　Bai Xinweng looked at Qiao Yu, his dignified old face full of astonishment.

　　It was as if you were a lawyer, desperately defending the defendant, arguing fiercely with the opposing counsel, citing classics, and fighting on the basis of reason.

　　Just as you were about to win the case, the defendant suddenly said, "I confess."

　　Who wouldn't be dumbfounded?

　　So, I defended you for so long, and you really took their stuff?

　　"Child, don't lie because you're scared, just tell the truth! Did you take it or not?"

　　Bai Xinweng winked at Qiao Yu desperately, his eyelids almost sparking.

　　"I took it, grandpa, look, it's this."

　　Qiao Yu had an innocent expression, and directly took out the Huangquan Staff.

　　He had originally planned to deny it to the death, since no one could search his undead space anyway.

　　But at this moment, Qiao Yu suddenly had bigger ambitions! So he changed his mind!

　　Bai Xinweng's vision went black. He couldn't figure out if his grandson was really stupid or pretending.

　　Now that you've admitted to taking their stuff, if you don't return it, will Huangquan Hirazaka let us leave?

　　The moment Jia Jinnian, Rui Wei, Lü Guzheng, and many elders saw the Huangquan Staff, their eyes turned green, like a pack of hungry wolves.

　　Jia Jinnian couldn't help but take action, grabbing at Qiao Yu.

　　"This is the Huangquan Staff of Huangquan Hirazaka, give it to me!"

　　A terrifying hand materialized in the sky, grabbing down at Qiao Yu.

　　However, before the hand could approach Qiao Yu, a huge fist, as if cast in gold, shot out and shattered the hand.

　　Jia Jinnian grunted and took two steps back to steady himself.

　　"Godfather, are you alright?!" Lü Guzheng hurriedly stepped forward to support Jia Jinnian.

　　"I'm fine."

　　Jia Jinnian's face was ugly as he looked at Bai Xinweng. That punch was from Bai Xinweng.

　　"Bai Xinweng, Qiao Yu has admitted to taking my sect's treasure. Does the Bai family really want to forcibly seize the treasure of my Huangquan Hirazaka?"

　　Jia Jinnian roared, coercing Bai Xinweng with his power.

　　Bai Xinweng took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Yu.

　　He felt that his grandson must have some plan of his own, so he didn't speak.

　　Sure enough, Qiao Yu stepped forward, holding the Huangquan Staff, and said with a light smile.

　　"I did see Jia Fengyuan, and I had an exchange with his remnant consciousness."

　　Qiao Yu's words were like a thunderclap in everyone's ears! The elders couldn't help but whisper to each other.

　　This kid actually saw the ancestor Jia Fengyuan and had an exchange with him!

　　"Ancestor Jia Fengyuan told me that if the current Huangquan Hirazaka has successors, talents no weaker than him, then hand the Huangquan Staff to that person. Otherwise, let me take the Huangquan Staff!" Qiao Yu continued.

　　Qiao Yu's words made everyone exclaim again and again.

　　"Nonsense!" Jia Jinnian shouted angrily. "Ancestor Jia Fengyuan has been under the Yellow Springs for so long, how could there still be a remnant consciousness? These are just fabrications of yours!"

　　"I advise you to hand over the Huangquan Staff obediently, otherwise, don't blame Huangquan Hirazaka for being impolite!"

　　Faced with Jia Jinnian's threat, Qiao Yu slowly gripped the Huangquan Staff.

　　"So, your Huangquan Hirazaka is really without successors, and you don't even listen to the words of ancestor Jia Fengyuan." Qiao Yu shook his head slowly.

　　"It's useless no matter how eloquently you speak. If you don't hand it over, then die!"

　　A cold light flashed in Jia Jinnian's eyes, and then he raised his hand.

　　"All members of Huangquan Hirazaka, capture this treacherous person who is trying to seize my sect's treasure. If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"

　　"Wait!" Rui Wei said coldly.

　　"Rui Wei, what are you trying to do again? You are no longer the Grand Elder!" Jia Jinnian roared.

　　"Shut up! Otherwise, I don't mind cleaning house first!" Rui Wei's eyes flashed with coldness.

　　Jia Jinnian was choked speechless by Rui Wei, and then a clear anger appeared on Jia Jinnian's face, his entire face turning liver-colored.

　　"Qiao Yu, even if it's really as you said, how do you determine that Huangquan Hirazaka has someone with talent no weaker than ancestor Fengyuan?" Rui Wei asked in a deep voice.

　　"It's very simple." Qiao Yu smiled kindly. "Beat me, if you can beat me, I will offer the Huangquan Staff with both hands!"

　　"Let Jia Yu come over."

　　Rui Wei didn't waste any time, but directly ordered.

　　After a while, a young man arrived here.

　　The young man's face was as handsome as jade, his expression calm, and the aura emanating from his body was extremely oppressive.

　　He was dressed in a black and gold robe, his figure was tall and sturdy, and his long brown hair was draped over his shoulders, like a young god-king.

　　He was Huangquan Hirazaka's well-deserved number one genius, Jia Yu!

　　At a young age, Jia Yu had already reached the terrifying realm of the sixth level of the demigod rank, and even many of Huangquan Hirazaka's older generation had been defeated by Jia Yu.

　　As a descendant of Jia Fengyuan, many people felt that Jia Yu would definitely reach the height of Jia Fengyuan, or even surpass Jia Fengyuan!

　　It can be said that Jia Yu was the brightest star of Huangquan Hirazaka's new generation.

　　"Qiao Yu, I'll ask you one more time, if you lose to Jia Yu, will you return the Huangquan Staff?" Rui Wei asked.

　　"That's right." Qiao Yu smiled faintly.

　　"Good! Jia Yu, the importance of this battle, I don't need to say more, right?" Rui Wei took a deep breath and said.

　　"Understood, Grand Elder, Jia Yu will do his best to defend against and suppress the evildoer!"

　　There was no expression on Jia Yu's handsome face.

　　He had already sensed that Qiao Yu's strength was only at the first level of the demigod rank.

　　As Huangquan Hirazaka's number one genius, cross-level challenges were commonplace for Jia Yu, let alone dealing with someone whose realm was inferior to his own.

　　Although Jia Yu wouldn't be careless, he didn't pay much attention to Qiao Yu.

　　"Alright, let's begin!" Rui Wei didn't waste any more words. The longer it dragged on, the more uncertain things became. She just wanted to get the Huangquan Staff back as soon as possible.

　　"Come on, let's end this meaningless battle as soon as possible."

　　Jia Yu walked towards Qiao Yu, but Rui Wei's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

　　"Wait!"

　　Rui Wei's pretty face was pale, as if she had thought of something, and her gaze focused on Qiao Yu.

　　"What's wrong, Grand Elder?" Jia Yu was a little puzzled.

　　"Qiao Yu, return my Huangquan Hirazaka's Underworld Spring Yin Thunder Formation Plate first!"

　　Rui Wei's back was covered in cold sweat. She almost forgot about this.

　　If Qiao Yu wielded the Underworld Spring Yin Thunder Formation Plate, he could probably kill Jia Yu with one punch.

　　Jia Yu's expression also changed. He naturally knew the terror of the Underworld Spring Yin Thunder Formation Plate.

　　He didn't expect this kid to be so insidious. If he had rushed over without knowing the truth just now, wouldn't he have...

　　A hint of coldness flashed in Jia Yu's eyes as he looked at Qiao Yu.

　　What a despicable villain!

　　The Huangquan Hirazaka Grand Elders could naturally think of what Jia Yu could think of.

　　They also showed disdain in their eyes as they looked at Qiao Yu.

　　Qiao Yu's expression was a little speechless. To deal with a mere sixth-level demigod, did he need to activate the Underworld Spring Yin Thunder Formation Plate?

　　"Here, you take it first, I'll ask you for it later." Qiao Yu handed the formation plate to Rui Wei with an indifferent expression.

　　Rui Wei's face darkened when she heard that. You're still thinking of taking it back?

　　"How about it, can we start now?" Qiao Yu spread his hands and said.

　　"Let's begin!" Rui Wei nodded.

　　Jia Yu, upon hearing this, immediately raised his hands towards Qiao Yu, and then starting from Jia Yu's feet, the ground began to freeze continuously, and endless power of Xuanbing (Mystic Ice) surged out, condensing towards Qiao Yu.

　　Jia Yu went all out from the start, wanting to freeze Qiao Yu and the surrounding world together. Qiao Yu had no way to avoid this attack and could only withstand it!

　　For this kind of insidious villain, Jia Yu wanted to defeat him with thunderous force!

　　Sure enough, before Qiao Yu could react, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by Jia Yu.

　　"Hmm! Jia Yu's Xuanbing power has improved again. He truly deserves to be Huangquan Hirazaka's number one genius!"

　　"This Qiao Yu is simply a clown. He was killed by Jia Yu in one hit. He even wanted to covet my Huangquan Hirazaka's Huangquan Staff. What wishful thinking!"

　　"He's doomed. Once frozen by Jia Yu's Xuanbing, even an eighth-level demigod would find it extremely difficult to break free, let alone a mere first-level demigod!"

　　Many elders expressed their approval of Jia Yu's strength.

　　Even Jia Yu himself couldn't help but show a confident smile on his face.

　　But the next second, reality slapped them hard in the face.

　　Bang!

　　After a crisp sound, the Xuanbing that had frozen Qiao Yu instantly shattered into ice powder, and black armor covered Qiao Yu's entire body.

　　"Your so-called Xuanbing power is far inferior to the icy aura under the Yellow Springs."

　　In Jia Yu's shocked gaze, Qiao Yu smiled contemptuously, and then waved the Huangquan Staff, and countless undead creatures crawled out of the ground and surged towards Jia Yu.

　　Those undead creatures carried the terrifying power of the Yellow Springs. Jia Yu tried to freeze them with Xuanbing, but it didn't work at all!

　　The Yellow Springs were far colder than Xuanbing!

　　Jia Yu panicked and wanted to fight back, but he felt a chill run down his crotch, and then he was dragged into an illusion.

　　A fierce-looking woman blocked Jia Yu's path, clamoring for Jia Yu to apologize to her psychologically fragile child, making Jia Yu's head spin.

　　Then Jia Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing right in front of Rui Wei.

　　Looking at Jia Yu, who was vomiting blood and unconscious, Rui Wei's face became very ugly.

　　From Qiao Yu breaking free from the Xuanbing to Qiao Yu defeating Jia Yu, the whole process took no more than five seconds.

　　It should be known that Jia Yu had even slashed an eighth-level demigod.

　　This Qiao Yu was clearly only a first-level demigod, how could he be so terrifying?

　　"Grand Elder, not to say anything, but your Huangquan Hirazaka's geniuses are really not up to par. Is that all the number one genius is?" Qiao Yu said with a kind smile.

　　Qiao Yu's words were like a resounding slap on the faces of everyone in Huangquan Hirazaka.

　　"It doesn't count! This battle doesn't count!"

　　Jia Jinnian couldn't help but jump out and shout at Qiao Yu.

　　"You used the Huangquan Staff! The Huangquan Staff was originally my Huangquan Hirazaka's treasure. Jia Yu was restrained by you, which is why he lost so quickly. Your victory is dishonorable!"

　　"Oh? But you only said that the Underworld Spring Yin Thunder Formation Plate couldn't be used, but you didn't say that the Huangquan Staff couldn't be used." Qiao Yu replied with a smile.

　　"I don't care! It just doesn't count!" Jia Jinnian directly played the rogue in front of everyone.

　　Even Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh. This old b*stard's face is really thick.

　　But it doesn't matter, after paving the way until now, the effect Qiao Yu wanted has already come out.

　　Qiao Yu smiled kindly and said loudly.

　　"Since that's the case, then let's do this. I'll give your Huangquan Hirazaka another chance. This time it's not ancestor Fengyuan's entrustment, but a private bet between me and you."

　　A sharp light flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes, and then he pointed at Lü Guzheng.

　　"Let him fight me. If he wins, I'll offer the Huangquan Staff with both hands. If I win, I'll take the Huangquan Staff, how about it?"
