"Yang Zui ranks only thirteenth on the Qingyun List, while Luo Tianyang from the four elites is ranked ninth. Judging from the rankings on the Qingyun List, there's a significant gap in strength between the two; can Yang Zui really be Luo Tianyang's match?!" Long Ao exclaimed in disbelief. He had just been injured internally by Ye Chen, but thanks to an ancient medicinal pill from Yun Xianghan, which he consumed, his wounds were largely healed in a short while.

The Emperor, the two Kings, the three Heroes, and the four Elites—these ten individuals are the strongest beings in this world!

Among them, the Emperor is a woman, with a cultivation realm so terrifyingly unparalleled that she has been at the top of the Qingyun List ever since its inception, never once ousted by anyone!

The two Kings refer to the Dragon King of the South Sea and the King of Chaos, both of whom are terrifyingly formidable figures, each boasting the supreme achievement of having campaigned against the Land Gods and returning fully intact!

The three Heroes are Li Manshan, Qian DuKun, and another mysterious figure whose name is unknown; these Heroes are all beings just a step below the Emperor and the Kings, possessing the strength ranked among the top five of the Qingyun List!

From the South Sea comes Nan Zhiji, from the north is Autumn Chang, from the east, Luo Tianyang, and from Xishan, Li Xiaoran. These four Elites are the youngest among the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Elites. However, their power is somewhat inferior compared to the Emperor, Kings, and Heroes, but they too possess the battle strength of the top ten in the Qingyun List!

This Emperor, two Kings, three Heroes, and four Elites stand at the pinnacle of all beings, and the top ten of the Qingyun List are mostly their names. Even if some of them are not within the top ten, it is not because they cannot be, but because they choose not to be.

"Victory is determined by strength, not by those so-called rankings!" Yun Xianghan said. "The King of Chaos is also listed among the Emperor, two Kings, and three Heroes, and moreover, he is a peerless individual who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Na Wudao. Yet, Na Wudao is ranked fourth on the Qingyun List, and the King of Chaos only seventh. But who can say for certain that the Dragon King of the South Sea is definitely stronger than the King of Chaos?"

"In this world, there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons; do not underestimate the people of the world!" Yun Xianghan advised.

"Miss Yun is right. Only when the King of Chaos erupts in his full glory can he deter the multitude of heroes," the elder standing behind Yun Xianghan agreed wholeheartedly.

The King of Chaos is not a core member of the Huaxia Dragon Group, but his status within the organization is second only to the Dragon Head!

Since the establishment of the Huaxia Dragon Group, there has been a constant emergence of powerful experts within the organization. Outsiders are virtually irrelevant, but this phenomenon was completely overturned with the addition of the three Kings of Chaos.

King Xiao and the War King are both terrifying figures ranked within the top twenty of the Qingyun List. The King of Chaos is even more formidable, not only is he among the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Elites, but he has also contended against the Land Gods!

Besides the supreme Dragon Head within the Dragon Group, the fearsome King of Chaos holds the highest position. Although the three Kings of Chaos are auxiliary members, it's well understood among the Dragon Group that the Kings disdain fame and fortune, unwilling to be disturbed by mundane affairs.

It is rumored that the supreme Dragon Head has communicated with the three Kings, promising them the position of Dragon Envoy should they formally join the Dragon Group, a status second only to the Dragon Head's. However, all of these offers were declined by the three Kings of Chaos.

"At this pinnacle gathering where the ten directions' heroes converge, who among the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Elites will descend upon us?" Yun Xianghan pondered aloud.

When the three Kings of Chaos join forces, they are virtually invincible; however, if the individuals among the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Elites unite, they can resist them, and even potentially suppress the three Kings with the influence of the gathered heroes.

The three Kings seek to intimidate the heroes, but these heroes are all proud and unyielding characters, how could they simply submit to such intimidation?

If the heroes rebel, the three Kings must assert their dominance forcefully; if they fail to suppress the rebellion, they themselves may face a bloody demise.

In the depths of the forest, massive trees continued to fall, with the earth still quaking from the fierce clash between Luo Tianyang and Yang Zui, with no clear victor yet in sight.

Just as several Dragon Group powerhouses were intently observing the battle, a terrifying aura suddenly surged towards them!

High above the heavens, an energy resembling a dragon danced and churned the boundless clouds, pressing down on the Dragon Group delegation with such fearsome force that the powerful members turned pale with shock.

"Miss Yun, didn't expect to find you here?"

Li Xiaoran arrived with formidable presence, but upon seeing the figure of Yun Xianghan, he abruptly came to a stop.

The newcomer's aura was like that of a dragon, pulsating with terrifying fluctuations. He was pressuring the members of the Huaxia Dragon Group in a clearly hostile approach. However, upon noticing Yun Xianghan, he strangely halted in his tracks, his expression full of wariness.

"This person is actually Li Xiaoran, a top figure among the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Outstanding Talents. Why has he come? Could it be to suppress us?"

A member of the Dragon Group who recognized Li Xiaoran's identity was immediately filled with shock and fear gleaned from their eyes.

They may also be considered Grandmasters, but compared to the likes of the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Outstanding Talents, they weren't even in the same league; their counterpart could crush them at any moment if he wished.

Indeed, upon hearing those words, everyone, including Long Ao and the Grandmaster Peak elder, underwent a drastic change in expression.

"Li Xiaoran!" Yun Xianghan addressed the newcomer with a cold tone.

"It's me," Li Xiaoran replied indifferently.

As one of the four young prodigies, Li Xiaoran naturally exuded an invincible aura, standing proud and unassailable like an immortal amongst mortals. However, for some reason, in front of Yun Xianghan, he seemed somewhat restrained.

"Our paths have always remained separate. Are you planning to strike at me today and challenge my position?" asked Yun Xianghan.

Yun Xianghan's demeanor was as light as a breeze and easy as clouds, unfazed even by a peerless figure amongst the Emperor, Kings, Heroes, and Outstanding Talents, exhibiting a sense of superiority.

Her unchanging expression in the face of surprise and the trace of reproach in her words left the other members of the Dragon Group utterly astonished.

Li Xiaoran, a character among the four prodigies, with a cultivation astonishing enough to be ranked within the top ten of the Qingyun List, what confidence did this Miss Yun possess to be so dominant?

The members of the Dragon Group deeply respected Yun Xianghan, as this Miss Yun held a very senior position within the group, a true veteran of the Huaxia Dragon Group!

Yun Xianghan's cultivation must be very strong, but as to the extent, the members of the Dragon Group had some ignorance. However, considering the current situation, could Miss Yun be so powerful as to make Li Xiaoran bow his head?!

"Li Xiaoran started practicing martial arts at six, achieved the Grandmaster status at twenty-eight, and was recognized as one of the four prodigies at thirty-nine, boasting a cultivation that could look down upon the world, but even he dares not challenge Miss Yun's position," Li Xiaoran said, shaking his head with utmost reverence for Yun Xianghan.

"You're indeed not bad. Among the prodigies, probably only Na Wudao's offspring can compete with you!" Yun Xianghan remarked.

Na Wudao was the Dragon King of the South Sea, one of the two Kings; his son was Nan Zhiji, one of the four prodigies!

"Nan Zhiji is born with a pure heart and possesses exceptional talent in martial arts. He often receives instructions from the Dragon King himself, and in life-and-death battles, I am still not his equal!" admitted Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran didn't shy away from admitting his inferiority to Nan Zhiji. However, he clarified that it was only in life-and-death battles where he lagged behind. The gap between them was truly minuscule, and Li Xiaoran had the confidence to erase this slight difference and become even stronger than Nan Zhiji.
