I Am Overlord

Chapter 1338: Provocation Before the Heavenly Snow Mountain

Before the Heavenly Snow Mountain was a certain place where a massive flag was billowing in the wind. The flag acted as a signal for those qualified to enter the Saintforce Realm. Currently, about half of those qualified had gathered before the flag. As for the remaining half, they would probably arrive before long. After Xiang Shaoyun and company dealt with the ice wolves, no other demonic beasts attacked them, and they reached the gathering spot smoothly.

When they arrived, Xiang Shaoyun saw several familiar faces. They also saw him, so they approached him. Xiang Shaoyun wore a look of pleasant surprise as he said, "You're here as well? This is great!"

The ones he saw were Devil Concubine, Yu Caidie, Han Chenfei, and Ouyang Chuanqi. They had arrived separately and had only started moving in the same direction upon seeing Xiang Shaoyun.

Devil Concubine was dressed in a black outfit that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure. Coupled with her face, she was akin to a dark beauty. Yu Caidie was dressed in a bright outfit. She looked like a pure fairy unpolluted by the mortal world, peerless and magnificent.

Han Chenfei was slightly lacking compared to the two in terms of looks, but she seemed to be one with nature here, with the snow around her adding to her beauty and grace. The three beauties came from three different directions. They were akin to three bright stars, gracing their surroundings with a brilliant radiance.

Ouyang Chuanqi had a helpless smile when he realized that he had been relegated to a side character before the three beauties. None of the four had managed to enter the top-100 in the Devil Hunting Expedition. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was surprised to see them here.

"Overlord, I have been missing you," said Devil Concubine as she gave Xiang Shaoyun a big hug.

She had always been a straightforward woman. The other two beauties had unsightly expressions as they looked at her.

"Move away, Devil Concubine. Don't touch my man," said Yu Caidie with a frown.

"Hehe, you're going to get married into the Di Clan. Aren't you embarrassed to claim that the overlord is your man?" said Devil Concubine smugly.

"I won't enter the Di Clan even if I have to die. I belong only to the overlord, dead or alive!" said Yu Caidie as she walked over and hugged Xiang Shaoyun's other arm.

Han Chenfei was envious of the two women. After hearing their forceful declarations, she also wanted to say something. However, she felt helpless. She wasn't confident she could compare with them in terms of looks, background, or talent. Thus, she had no confidence in competing against the two. She had long expressed her feelings for Xiang Shaoyun, but he had been avoiding her. Moreover, he had no lack of women around him. She was starting to feel despair.

Perhaps I really should let go, thought Han Chenfei sullenly.

Xiang Shaoyun did not notice Han Chenfei's bleak expression. Just the two women beside him were enough to give him a headache. The surrounding people were filled with envy when they saw that Xiang Shaoyun was surrounded by beauties.

"Who is that fellow? Why is he so conceited? How can Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie revolve around him?"

"He is the Western Desert's Devil Hunting Expedition champion, Xiang Shaoyun, a well-known genius cultivator."

"You must be joking. That kid doesn't look strong at all. How did he become the champion?"

"Some geniuses can't be measured with cultivation level alone. Most of them are basically freaks who can deny the heavens. Do not look down on him."

"That's right. How can a man who had won the favor of those two beauties be a pushover?"

...

As the people started talking about Xiang Shaoyun, he became the center of attention. The admirers of Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie were naturally unhappy. The Gu Society's prodigy, Gu Ming, was the angriest of the bunch. Gu Ming was an up-and-coming youngster from the superpower Gu Society. With his astonishing talent, he had long reached ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm.

He wasn't even 50 yet and still looked only 30. In the cultivation world, he could be considered a youngster. The Gu Society had long planned to form a marriage alliance with the Darkdevil Sect, but before they could even propose the marriage, they found that someone else had won over Devil Concubine's heart. Gu Ming couldn't accept that.

Gu Ming was ranked 12th in the Western Desert's Devil Hunting Expedition. His strength was clear for all to see. Although he ranked much lower than Xiang Shaoyun, he was confident he wasn't weaker than Xiang Shaoyun, as he had held back during the Devil Hunting Expedition. If he had used all his strength, he could have easily entered the top-5 or even taken first place.

Mounted atop a goldscale snake, Gu Ming approached Xiang Shaoyun with his three underlings.

"Devil Concubine, how can you fall for a pretty face like him?" questioned Gu Ming unhappily.

Devil Concubine wasn't even bothered to give him a reply.

Yu Caidie hurriedly said, "Devil Concubine, your lover is here. What are you waiting for? Go with him."

She had just finished her words when someone else charged over and yelled, "Yu Caidie, you belong only to our Lord Di Mie. How can you involve yourself with a different man publicly like this?"

The newcomer was Xiang Nantian, 28th place in the Western Desert's Devil Hunting Expedition. As a peak Sovereign, he was one of Di Mie's followers.

"Scram!" shouted Yu Caidie unhappily.

"Xiang Shaoyun, disaster is coming for you. Get lost, or I won't mind personally taking your head," yelled Xiang Nantian as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.

"Audacious! You dare be rude to our little ancestor? Die!" Xiang Feidian roared and charged Xiang Nantian.

Xiang Feidian was no weaker than Xiang Nantian. With his warlike personality, he was the perfect person to fight on behalf of Xiang Shaoyun.

"I'll first kill you before dealing with Xiang Shaoyun," said Xiang Nantian as he faced Xiang Feidian. A fierce battle erupted.

At the same time, Gu Ming glared at Xiang Shaoyun and yelled, "Kid, Devil Concubine is not someone you can have. Piss off if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, both you and the organization behind you will be eliminated!"

That was a very direct threat.

"Little ancestor, I can't stand that fellow anymore!" Xiang Chenxi was furious.

"I'll deal with him," said Xiang Keren calmly.

Xiang Shaoyun said, "We're entering the Saintforce Realm soon. I don't want anything to happen beforehand. Go and drag Xiang Feidian back as well." He then looked at Gu Ming and said, "As for that idiot, Money can deal with him."
