The God of Sky and Earth

"Haha, my dear friends, don’t panic. Palace Master has a clear understanding of right and wrong. He has spent a long time in the Iron Gauge Hall, inquiring about the whole story from me. Those who are loyal to Yutian Palace will be valued by Palace Master in the future, while those who have malicious intentions towards Yutian Palace will likely face eternal damnation!"

Elder Gu Yue intentionally raised his voice while saying the last four words, causing the crowd below to tremble and feel anxious. Some people with weak courage even fainted on the spot.

"Alright, elders, it’s time to pass down Palace Master’s decree!"

"Swish!"

Ten Princely Elders along with a few scattered elders immediately half knelt on the ground, looking serious and listening carefully!

"Listen, disciples of the Heavenly Control Sect, tomorrow’s Yutian Soul Race will continue as planned! Anyone causing trouble will be temporarily detained in the Iron Gauge Hall and dealt with after the race. Tonight, I ask all the elders present to organize the list of guilty individuals and those eligible to participate in the Yutian Soul Race. We will continue early tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Gu Yue’s robe fluttered, his expression once again serious as he spoke.

"Just now, we were discussing the revised rules of the Yutian Soul Race, keeping it simple! Only to find the strongest disciples of the Yutian Palace! Tonight, my brothers, please put in extra effort!"

"Hey! We were just saying, Jun Haotian is such a wasted talent!"

Gu Yue glanced at the list of names kneeling below and calmly said, "Master is at fault, but disciples are not all the same. Please, everyone, adhere to the rules of the Yutian Palace and carefully select, as it is necessary for the Yutian Soul Race and the future revival of the Yutian Palace."

"Yes!" The elders’ expressions turned solemn, not daring to make any accusations.

"Elder Luo, this time the Sky Wind Ranked Battle will be held in your region. The Palace Master summons you to discuss matters, while the other elders may proceed!"

Luo Wuya looked deeply at Gu Yue, nodded lightly, and suddenly his energy soared. A purple mist-like gust of wind directly rushed into the Iron Gauge Hall.

"Palace Master Duanmu truly possesses wisdom and valor!" Long Poshan nodded in agreement.

After the announcement, Gu Yue took three Deputy Palace Masters back to Lingyue Peak. All the people who kneeled in front of Iron Gauge Hall left one after another under the command of the elders.

As soon as the four people returned to Lingyue Peak and landed, Guan Lan eagerly asked Gu Yue about Su Yi’s condition.

"Palace Master Gu Yue, how is that kid Su Yi doing?"

Gu Yue sighed softly. Underneath his serene and kind face, he sighed three times in a row, leaving Yunding and others puzzled.

"Let’s talk about it inside!"

Han Yurou, including Han Wulong, were waiting in the room. Gu Yue briefly explained the judgment of the Palace Master. Han Wulong couldn’t help but nod.

"Palace Master Duanmu is always considering the overall situation. If it were me, I would have done the same."

Gu Yue pondered for a moment and looked around at Tian Chang, Achu, and others, saying, "So you all need to prepare for the Yutian Soul Race tomorrow. This time, the testing won’t be as strict. Everything will be simplified. The details will be announced tomorrow. Luckily, you and Ran’er have high soul qualities, which cannot be denied! By the way, how is Ran’er doing?"

Achu looked at Elder Gu Yue and gratefully said to Han Wulong, "Master, Sect Leader Han has sent powerful experts from Wuliang School to heal my sister. She’s no longer in great danger and is currently resting in the room!"

"Leader Han, thank you!" Gu Yue bowed politely to Han Wulong.

Han Wulong waved his hand casually and said, "No need to be polite, Elder Gu Yue. Yutian Soul Race’s Yuer will also participate. We are all in this together, no problem!"

Elder Gu Yue took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to Achu, smiling as he said, "Since Leader Han treated your injuries, the Palace Master has given you this medicine for self-defense in the future. It will also greatly benefit your research on ordinary medicines!"

Han Wulong’s eyes widened in surprise as he said, "Did Palace Master Duanmu send this?"

Gu Yue nodded heavily and sighed, "We are fortunate to have Palace Master Duanmu in our Yutian Palace! Despite her aloofness, she cares deeply for Yutian Palace. Ran’er and Chu’er’s performance in the palace has earned the special approval of the Palace Master, which is why she personally gifted this bottle of xuan-grade ‘Taiwei Pill.’ In the future, you must focus on cultivating, as gaining the Palace Master’s favor is a blessing in itself!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment, remembering the formidable aura Duanmu Xiaoman had displayed on the front peak of Zhongzhen Peak during the day. It was hard to imagine that she also had such tenderness in her heart.

"By the way, Palace Master Gu Yue, have you heard any news about Su Yi from the Palace Master?" Han Yurou furrowed her eyebrows.

Guan Lan, Yunding, and Yan Lu were also extremely anxious and exclaimed, "Palace Master Gu Yue, please tell us! We are all dying of worry!"

"There are two pieces of news. The good news is that today is actually the registration day for the Sky Commander Trials, and the Palace Master came personally to ask for Su Yi’s leave!"

"Neigh!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone’s eyes were filled with countless scenes of surprise. Their hearts raced like thousands of galloping horses.

"Palace Master… personally coming to grant Su Yi a leave?"

This kind of treatment has never been enjoyed by anyone before. Duanmu Xiaoman, who usually kept to herself, went to such lengths for a young boy.

"That woman… actually granting Su Yi a leave!"

Han Yurou’s expression became somewhat unnatural. Han Wulong gently pulled her, causing her to regain her composure. All those who noticed the change in Han Yurou’s demeanor were also filled with astonishment.

"But this presents another problem. If Su Yi can’t come to register himself, it means he hasn’t passed the dangerous period. His life is at stake!"

"So, how is Su Yi doing now?"

"Yes, this Palace Master is incredibly mysterious. How can we know what happened to Su Yi?" Several Deputy Palace Masters echoed.

Gu Yue gently stroked his long beard and sighed, "Since Palace Master has already registered Su Yi, with Palace Master’s advanced skills, Su Yi will surely make it through! Let’s wait patiently, everyone!"

Hearing Gu Yue’s words, everyone didn’t relax their furrowed brows, but instead became even more serious.

"The Guardian Mountain Formation is no small matter. It is a prohibition set up by countless generations of strong warriors from our Yutian Palace. And yet, Elder Tong actually used the Guardian Mountain Formation against a young boy who is not even twenty! It’s truly unbelievable!" Guan Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her round body couldn’t help but tremble as a strong intent to kill surged out.

"Evil will be punished, isn’t that already happening! Okay, it’s getting late. Early tomorrow morning, the new Yutian Palace tournament rules will be revealed! The rules personally set by the Palace Master will be countless times more difficult than before! Let’s all be prepared!"

After saying that, a gleam of determination and seriousness appeared in the eyes of everyone present. After exchanging a few cold pleasantries, they went straight back to their own rooms.

Lingyue Cottage, inside the courtyard, illuminated by moonlight.

"Could that old woman also like Su Yi?" Han Yurou supported her rosy cheeks and gazed at the moon in the sky.

"So you really have feelings for that kid?" Han Wulong’s enormous figure walked out from the shadows, with great tenderness in his voice and whispered softly.
