Chapter 1864: Chapter 1861: Riding the Roc

"The stakes?"

Gu Changfeng grinned and said mockingly, "Well, it’s not impossible. If you lose, you must declare to all heroes on the Emperor Road that I’m a dog!"

The East Desolate Wolf’s gaze was cold as he said indifferently, "And if you lose?"

Gu Changfeng laughed, "Although there’s no chance we’ll lose, since you asked, let me propose a stake."

"If we lose, we will no longer call you dogs and willingly hand over the Dao baptism on the Emperor Road."

"How about that?"

Gu Changfeng looked at the East Desolate Wolf with a smile.

These words slightly surprised the other followers of Gu Changge. When they looked at Gu Changfeng, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Why did this guy drag them into it directly?

Did he ask the young master?

There were quite a few people who didn’t like this cousin of the young master, but due to the young master’s influence, they couldn’t say anything.

Now, Gu Changfeng’s behavior made them even more displeased.

However, they didn’t believe they would lose either.

So they didn’t stop him.

"In that case, let’s begin."

The East Desolate Wolf grinned, his eyes as sharp as blades.

"This will be interesting to watch."

Other powerful figures on the Emperor Road saw this scene, and all smiled knowingly.

Ever since the Gu Family announced their return, people have often compared Ye Xuan and Gu Changge, saying the two are destined to clash. Now, it looks like the battle is about to ignite.

Although this is just a contest between Ye Xuan’s and Gu Changge’s followers, neither Ye Xuan nor Gu Changge stopped it, which says it all.

Gu Changge indeed had this idea.

As for Ye Xuan, he simply didn’t care. The East Desolate Wolf was always fond of fighting, Ye Xuan knew that well and wouldn’t stop him.

Being fiery is normal.

As for that Gu Changfeng, he’s asking for a beating. Since that’s the case, a lesson wouldn’t hurt.

So, what was originally a path to comprehend the Dao and gain recognition on the Emperor Road.

Has turned into a subtle confrontation between Ye Xuan and Gu Changge.

On one side was Ye Xuan leading.

On the other was Gu Changge leading.

Both sides ceased the banter and pushed forward with full force.

Even Gu Changge rarely got serious.

While Ye Xuan remained calm from start to finish, it didn’t bother him at all.

Just a kids’ game.

However, the East Desolate Wolf and others became serious, this overt and covert battle seemed trivial, but it might represent an early confrontation between two future Great Emperors.

So as followers, they must win this victory!

A calm yet turbulent battle had thus commenced.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, both parties progressed faster and faster.

Many wanted to observe this battle but found they couldn’t keep up, leaving them sighing with admiration.

However, Zhou Ye, Duan Qingcang, Mu Tian, the Rakshasa Holy Daughter, and others could keep up with the speed and watched with interest.

There were even some mischievous Snow Storage, fanning the flames from the side, which pushed both sides to go even faster.

Some were close to overtaking Ye Xuan and Gu Changge.

Gu Changge initially advanced seriously, but seeing Ye Xuan’s indifferent attitude, he lost interest and let his subordinates go ahead.

Soon, the two leaders were at the back.

Gu Changge looked at Ye Xuan, curious about this prodigy much younger than himself, "Does Brother Ye feel certain of victory?"

Ye Xuan smiled softly and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Changge’s eyes were calm, as he quietly said, "Changge also feels certain of victory, but on our side."

"Of course, such a victory is meaningless. Upon reaching the end of the Emperor Road, will Brother Ye battle Changge?"

Gu Changge’s eyes lit up with fervor, "Changge can see that whether it’s Brother Ye or your ally Liang Difan from the Divine Continent Valley, you both have genuine Immortal Bodies. And you’re not the legendary Dark Immortal Body; you’re a Taiyang Immortal Body like Changge, while Liang Difan is a Taiyin Immortal Body. Am I right?"

Ye Xuan laughed, "Correct."

Gu Changge spoke solemnly, "So, shall we battle?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, "If you truly wish to battle me, it won’t be on the Emperor Road, but outside of it."

Gu Changge was surprised, "Why?"

Ye Xuan replied calmly, "Because you would die."

Gu Changge paused, then burst into a grin, "Brother Ye’s joke wasn’t very funny."

Ye Xuan shrugged, "It’s the truth."

Gu Changge showed curiosity, "So, outside the Emperor Road, I wouldn’t die?"

Ye Xuan looked at Gu Changge seriously, "Because by then, you should have become an Emperor. Maybe I’ll consider your worth and spare your life."

Gu Changge curbed his smile and said quietly, "Then Changge will remember Brother Ye’s appreciation and give some face when the time comes."

With that, Gu Changge stopped talking to Ye Xuan and quickly moved ahead, soon reaching the front again.

Ye Xuan watched Gu Changge’s back, smiling softly.

These days, fewer people believe in the truth.

No matter.

We shall see in the days to come.

"Young Master Ye, if you don’t hurry, Gu Changge might win, and then you’ll be the laughingstock."

Just then, a voice came from beside him.

A golden Roc bird flew up from behind.

It was the Sky-winged Little Roc King from the Qing State, ranked seventeenth on the Mystic Yellow List.

Previously during the Great Ruins, he had been clobbered by Ye Xuan.

The Sky-winged Little Roc King seemed unworried about Ye Xuan and even talked to him.

Ye Xuan glanced at the Sky-winged Little Roc King and said smilingly, "Your words reminded me."

In that instant, the Sky-winged Little Roc King felt a shiver in his soul.

Soon after, Ye Xuan was sitting on the Sky-winged Little Roc King’s back, speeding ahead, quickly surpassing Gu Changge and others, reaching the front.

"Eh?!"

Seeing that scene, people were astounded.

Can you ride a mount on the Emperor Road?

Don’t mounts need to comprehend the Dao’s aura too?

The crowd was bewildered.

"Isn’t that the Sky-winged Little Roc King?"

Upon seeing the golden Roc beneath Ye Xuan, they were shocked.

"Even on the Emperor Road, this guy can fly so fast?"

This was another focus of interest.

"The young master is formidable!"

Hai Dong and others couldn’t help but laugh seeing that scene.

Only the Sky-winged Little Roc King felt bitter, lamenting, "Brother Ye, I only meant to remind you, you can’t do this to me!"

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the Sky-winged Little Roc King’s back, feeling the rich Dao aura, and said leisurely, "Being ridden by me is a blessing from your past life."

The Sky-winged Little Roc King could only mutter, "Such a blessing, who wants it, take it away..."

When they reached the real end of the Emperor Road, the Sky-winged Little Roc King realized Ye Xuan wasn’t joking.
