Lee Xie and Xiao Xian'er stayed behind, along with Xue Wu and Ye Lee.
Although the outside world was already abuzz with excitement over Heaven's Pride Diao's matter, the Xueyang Village had not been affected in the slightest.
Xiao Xian'er was not interested in Heaven's Pride's ranking. Previously, she only wanted to show off her skills in front of Lee Xie and the rest of the students. Besides that, Heaven's Pride's ranking was useless to Xiao Xian'er.
Lee Xie and the other two knew that they were not strong enough. If they were to get involved in the matters of the outside world, they might be picked off the Heaven's Pride Rankings and lose their face!
Especially Lee Xie, Xiao Tian had already said that as long as Heaven's Pride ranked lower than him on the rankings of the list of geniuses, defeating him would allow him to obtain the opportunity Xiao Tian bestowed upon him, which made Lee Xie even more eager to increase his strength!
After all, as Xiao Tian's disciple, he was already the target of countless people's envy. Before, there might have been people who were afraid of Xiao Tian's might and didn't dare to challenge him, but now that Xiao Tian personally said it, those geniuses not only dispelled their doubts, they even became crazy because of Xiao Tian's conditions.
If he didn't do everything he could to improve his strength, then once he was defeated, he would become a laughingstock. Even his master Xiao Tian's reputation would be affected!
As a result, even though the outside world was in an uproar because of Heaven's Pride's ranking, Lee Xie and the others still borrowed the Magic Formation left behind by Xiao Tian to steadily increase their strength.
And what's worth mentioning was that after the appearance of the Wu Steel Ranking, the Thirteen Great Pirates of Beiyuan had even been directly searched inside the Blizzard City, led by the bandit leader Lee Yan. Even though Lee Xie had already grasped the two secret arts, the Immanent Body of Buddha and the Devouring Body, when Xiao Xian'er didn't help, he still wasn't confident that he could take down the Blizzard City, and take down all the remnants of the Thirteen Great Pirates of Beiyuan in one fell swoop.
Thus, Lee Xie temporarily put the matter of Thirteen Great Pirates of Beiyuan aside and wholeheartedly focused on improving his own strength.
However, even if Lee Xie did not go outside to cause trouble, it did not mean that trouble would not come knocking on his door, especially since the place where Lee Xie and the rest were at was not a secret in the first place. Just that in the past, Xueyang Village had become a forbidden area due to the existence of Xiao Tian, but now that Xiao Tian had spoken, giving them the chance to challenge Lee Xie, even if they did not come looking for Xueyang Village, as long as they did not do anything, their lives would not be in danger.
Among them, not only was there Heaven's Pride from the Ninth Heaven, there was even a genius in Immortal Domain, and there was no lack of talents ranked higher than Lee Xie on the Heaven's Pride Board!
"This is the Xueyang Village, Lee Xie is inside!" Outside the Xueyang Village, a genius from the Ninth Heaven and the Ten Great Earth looked at the Xueyang Village in front of him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
As long as he defeated Lee Xie, he would be able to obtain the opportunity that Xiao Tian gifted him.
Therefore, who knew how many geniuses would be able to defeat Lee Xie and rise to the top, becoming the most popular geniuses of the two realms!
"We failed to determine the victor last time. I hope that you won't disappoint me this time around!" A figure surrounded by ghost aura let out a low laugh, causing the surrounding geniuses to unconsciously step back, unwilling to have too much contact with him.
"Who wants to challenge first?" The crowd of geniuses looked at each other, and some of them asked.
"The ones who are at the top will go first!" Someone pondered for a moment and said: "If the person at the bottom of the ranking defeats Lee Xie, then wouldn't it be a loss for those at the bottom of the other rankings?"
"Then I'll go first!" The figure that was surrounded by ghost aura stepped forward and arrogantly said: "I am Divine Son of Hell and Xue Yan. If there is anyone among you who is ranked higher than me on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, feel free to step forward!"
Hearing Xue Yan's words, the surrounding geniuses were all silent.
Xue Yan happened to be behind Lee Xie on Heaven's Pride's 52nd place list. Although there were geniuses ranked higher than Xue Yan among the remaining people, there was nothing good for them to gain even if they defeated Lee Xie. Naturally, they wouldn't stand out at this time.
In fact, many of the top 50 ranked geniuses on the list would appear here to see if they could fight with Xiao Xian'er, while the others wanted to see how outstanding the geniuses who were accepted by Xiao Tian were!
"It seems like there's no one else!" Xue Yan roared, and directly walked to the Xueyang Village gate. He cupped his hands towards the Evil Killing Sword, and respectfully said: "Senior, please inform Lee Xie, Heaven's Pride, Rank 52, Divine Son of Hell, Xue Yan, has come to challenge you!"
"But," The Evil Killing Sword nodded, then dispersed the Sword Qi that was blocking the Xueyang Village gate.
He had long been instructed by Xiao Tian to stop these geniuses who came to challenge the sect according to the normal procedures. Even those talents ranked higher than Lee Xie didn't need to stop them.
Although Xue Yan was Divine Son of Hell and had quite a deep relationship with Lee Xie, the Evil Killing Sword still did not stop them.
Seeing this, Xue Yan did not hesitate and directly walked into the Xueyang Village.
However, he hadn't walked very far before Lee Xie and the other three slowly walked out of the Xueyang Village. However, Lee Xie and the other three had ugly expressions on their faces.
Previously, the four of them were still training within the Magic Formation, but in the end, they were shocked by Xue Yan and had no choice but to leave the Magic Formation.
Especially Xiao Xian'er, she was already dissatisfied after her experiential learning was interrupted. When she found out that the person who interrupted her training was Xue Yan, who had a conflict with Lee Xie in the past, and Xue Yan had come to challenge Lee Xie, Xiao Xian'er's anger flared up even more.
If she didn't know that this was Xiao Tian's arrangement and planned to use this opportunity to train Lee Xie, she wouldn't have been able to resist and beat Xue Yan up!
But even so, Xiao Xian'er did not give Xue Yan any face!
Xue Yan naturally noticed Xiao Xian'er's expression and smiled bitterly, but he did not say much.
He was one of the very few people who had seen Xiao Xian'er fight. Back then, when Xiao Xian'er had entered the Divine Mini-world where hell was located, she had used King of Tao Slaying's cultivation level and Lee Xie to sweep the area, striking straight into the Hall of Judges.
Even though Xiao Tian was in charge of guarding the entrance to hell, leading to the fact that the saints did not dare to attack, Xue Yan had heard many saints from hell admit that even without Xiao Tian, they might not be Xiao Xian'er's match with their full strength. Therefore, Xiao Xian'er and Xue Yan were still extremely wary of Xiao Xian'er.
Now that he saw Xiao Xian'er looking at him with that kind of expression, Xue Yan smiled in embarrassment and shifted his gaze to Lee Xie.
Therefore, he did not take Xiao Xian'er's attitude to heart. As long as he defeated Lee Xie and obtained the opportunity from Xiao Tian, he would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step. At that time, he might not be Xiao Xian'er's match!
