Compared to the casualness of Ye Yu and Li Xuanyi, Huangfu Jin and the bald man wore extremely serious expressions.
They each glanced over their own disciples first, and only after seeing them safe and sound did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Huangfu Jin said in a deep voice, “Tang Sha, it’s getting late. There’s a match tomorrow. Why don’t you take your people back to rest first?”
The bald man gave a forced smile and said, “What a coincidence, I was thinking the same. Disciple, let’s go.”
Li Xuanyi looked back at Tang Sha.
The latter immediately stepped aside to make way.
“You have five more hours to consider. My patience is not endless.”
After dropping this sentence, Li Xuanyi turned and left.
Tang Sha went with him.
After watching their figures disappear completely,
Huangfu Jin finally relaxed and softly said, “Tang Sha, the Master of Xuandu Cliff, Li Xuanyi is his disciple. Ye Yu, if your opponent later is anyone else, I won’t interfere.
But if it’s him, please give up the match immediately.
That guy is a complete freak!
Extremely dangerous to the extreme. Even Tang Sha can’t control him.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu showed a smile and happily agreed.
But inside, he was already itching to face Li Xuanyi in a duel.
“What, just because he’s a freak you think you have to back down?
Especially after what that kid just said, he has to die!”
Things that are too easy to agree to are often not trustworthy.
Huangfu Jin gave Pei Chuxia a meaningful look, obviously wanting her to try persuading him again.
After all, Huangfu Jin ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) had been in seclusion for ten years.
The one really close to Ye Yu was Pei Chuxia!
Probably only she could persuade Ye Yu.
Then Huangfu Jin did not stay long, instructing Ye Yu to be careful before leaving.
Pei Chuxia looked at Ye Yu and softly said, “You seem very interested in Li Xuanyi. Are you impressed by his talent?”
“No, he has a stronger ability. I like that very much.”
Ye Yu’s answer made Pei Chuxia silent.
Thinking back ten years ago,
Pei Chuxia cooperated with Ye Yu to make him stronger, to help her take revenge.
She hadn’t seen Ye Yu so excited for a long time.
That meant as long as Li Xuanyi was defeated, Ye Yu’s strength would definitely increase greatly.
This should have been a great thing.
But Huangfu Jin’s warning made Pei Chuxia hesitant.
You have to know, Huangfu Jin already knew Ye Yu possessed Earth Demon Realm cultivation.
Yet he insisted that if Ye Yu encountered Li Xuanyi, he should give up the match.
Doesn’t this mean Li Xuanyi had power stronger than the Earth Demon Realm?
God, we thought the hundred-year Earth Demon Realm was already the ceiling.
Stronger? That’s just ridiculous.
After much thought,
Pei Chuxia softly said, “Huangfu Jin wouldn’t speak without reason. If possible, spare Li Xuanyi for now, kill him later.
After all, you’ve cultivated for too short a time.
And everything about that kid is unknown.
For safety’s sake, you should give up for now.
Only by living well can you have more possibilities.”
Ye Yu looked at Pei Chuxia in surprise.
This master with the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart was always known for calmness.
Although she analyzed situations before, she had never spoken such emotional words.
This made Ye Yu feel teasing.
Leaning close to Pei Chuxia’s pretty face, he whispered, “What, are you afraid I’ll die at Li Xuanyi’s hands?”
Pei Chuxia’s expression was normal, but her right hand hidden in her sleeve had already tightly clenched.
Because of gripping too hard, her knuckles were somewhat white.
“You still have important things to do. Before then, you absolutely cannot have accidents.”
Pei Chuxia’s voice remained calm.
Ye Yu waved off lightly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
Pei Chuxia slightly lowered her head and did not speak further.
But in her eyes, an unusual gleam flickered.
The next day,
Led by disciples of the Kunsen Palace, Ye Yu arrived at a new arena.
With him were other disciples from the top twenty of the sect competition.
This was a trial stage covering nearly ten thousand square meters.
Around it was a circular viewing area.
Leaders of hundreds of sects sat here.
They would watch today’s matches on-site.
Unlike yesterday, today would begin match by match.
The top four would be decided, and tomorrow would be the real finals.
Here, Ye Yu and the others needed to draw lots to determine their opponents.
While waiting for the draw,
Ye Yu instinctively glanced around, looking for any gold-colored tags besides Li Xuanyi.
But the result disappointed him.
Only Li Xuanyi had a gold tag; the highest among others was purple.
As expected, gold tags were rare and precious.
If so, Ye Yu hoped even more to face Li Xuanyi.
Otherwise, if he was killed by others, it would be a huge loss.
Just as Ye Yu was thinking,
Li Xuanyi suddenly transmitted in mind voice, “Five hours have passed. Tell me your answer. Will you submit to me?”
Hearing this,
Ye Yu slightly turned his face and looked toward Li Xuanyi, three body lengths away.
Li Xuanyi was looking at him as well.
Ye Yu didn’t use mind voice, but laughed and said, “I’m willing to be your ancestor.”
His voice was not loud but loud enough for all top twenty disciples present to hear.
They all curiously looked at Ye Yu.
Why on earth is he preparing to be someone’s ancestor?
Li Xuanyi laughed instead of being angry, and his laughter grew louder.
The Kunsen Palace disciples noticed the abnormality and quickly rushed over, saying sternly, “Senior brother, please do not disturb the order.”
Li Xuanyi’s mind moved.
A surging power suddenly appeared, sending that Kunsen Palace disciple flying to the distant wall with a thick cloud of smoke, his life unknown.
Seeing this,
Wen Zihao, the Kunsen Palace leader, couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He loudly said, “Who dares be so presumptuous here?”
Tang Sha, Master of Xuandu Cliff, suddenly showed a troubled face.
“Oh my ancestor, starting trouble again. I really shouldn’t have brought him here.
But since he’s already out, I can’t ignore it.
My hair is going bald from worry!”
