"The Northern Border King, Ye Feng, and his people have arrived!"
"It seems they really did co here on their own. At first, I thought they had decided not to partake in the talent ranking Martial Dao competition."
"How could that be possible? This is an opportunity to enter the Source Secret Realm for cultivation; only a fool would miss out. Plus, with the Chi Family prodigy Chi Jianren and the Xiao Family prodigy Xiao Rulong following Ye Feng, they definitely won't be short on benefits."
"Exactly, wherever there are benefits to be had these past years, those two have never been absent. Last ti, I almost got my hands on the Sacred Spirit Vine, but it was snatched away by that guy from the Chi Family."
The crowd from Xuanyuan Hall were all looking over, whispering among themselves.
Both Chi Jianren and Xiao Rulong had slightly pale faces. What did they an by "they were never missing from places with benefits"?
Even though what these people were saying wasn't wrong, discussing it right in front of their faces felt a bit too much.
Chi Jianren let out a cold huff, releasing his strong aura.
The aura of a top-level Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm was displayed in front of everyone!
The crowd imdiately quieted down, all of them shocked by Chi Jianren's aura, which felt even stronger than when he had erged from the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. How could it be?
Had it not been many days since he left the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm?
At this mont, figures like Bu Tianyun and Golden Cicada from Xuanyuan Hall had extrely solemn expressions. Chi Jianren had indeed grown stronger, far more formidable than when they last saw him during the battle for the Void Spirit Fruit. How could he have improved so rapidly? Could it be because of the Void Spirit Fruit?
Many who knew Chi Jianren had obtained the Void Spirit Fruit speculated that his rapid increase in strength was related to the fruit.
Though the fruit's effects were limited to boosting spiritual power, the strength of one's spiritual power was indeed connected to their Realm. Stronger spiritual power ant faster progress in strength, even in the Yin-Yang Realm. Only with sufficient spiritual power can your Realm beco more powerful.
Many eyes now filled with envy and jealousy—the Void Spirit Fruit was a supre-grade Spirit Fruit, coveted by all.
Ye Feng, noticing the malicious looks from the crowd, hurriedly sent a telepathic warning to Chi Jianren, "Brother Jerk, keep a low profile; don't let your aura rise any further. Now is not the ti to reveal our full strength."
Chi Jianren's aura was indeed still climbing. He was extrely annoyed by these people gossiping about him to his face. Having already had his embarrassing past poked at by Xiao Rulong on their journey, he was still holding back his anger. Now at Xuanyuan Hall's camp, to be subject to their idle talk, he could no longer restrain himself.
However, after Ye Feng's warning, he imdiately stopped releasing his aura and reigned it in.
He had almost decided to let out his full aura, but thankfully Ye Feng reminded him. He had actually only revealed eighty percent of his aura.
But even that eighty percent made everyone feel the terror, including so of the elder Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, whose expressions had beco extrely serious. They felt that, just from the aura Chi Jianren had released, he was already on par with them, and if a real fight were to occur, he would likely be even stronger.
No one felt this more acutely than Hong Qing, who had previously fought with Chi Jianren. His face was particularly grave; he had personally clashed with Chi Jianren over the Void Spirit Fruit, and at that ti, Chi Jianren's aura was only on par with his.
Yet, in less than ten days since then, Hong Qing could feel Chi Jianren's aura had surpassed his own, leaving him astonished and resentful. Grinding his teeth, he said, "It must all be thanks to the Void Spirit Fruit. Damn it, that fruit was supposed to be mine!"
Beside him, Hong Gaishi's gaze flickered, staring intently at Ye Feng and his group while telepathically communicating with Hong Qing, "Elder Hong Qing, what's going on? Didn't you inform the Sword Saint Palace about Ye Feng? They said they would intercept, but why are Ye Feng and his people appearing here safe and unhard?"
Before setting off, Hong Qing had claid that he inford the Sword Saint Palace to intercept Ye Feng and his group. Hong Gaishi had been looking forward to hearing about Ye Feng's disappearance upon arriving here, but now, not only had nothing happened to Ye Feng and his group, they seed unscathed. What was going on?
Was the Sword Saint Palace's previous promise a lie, or did they simply never encounter Ye Feng and his party?
Hong Qing was taken aback by Hong Gaishi's question and looked bewildered at the unhard Ye Feng and his companions, equally puzzled.
"Gaishi, you've reminded , it seems that the people from the Sword Saint Palace in the Yin-Yang Temple camp haven't arrived yet."
Hong Qing was confused, and his gaze shifted toward the Yin-Yang Temple camp, his brow furrowing at the sight of only a handful of people in the camp.
Only then did Hong Gaishi look over and noticed with surprise that indeed, not a single person from Sword Saint Palace had arrived, whereas Ye Feng and his company had made it. What exactly was the situation?
Just as the two from the Hong Family were bewildered, the First Hall Master, seeing Ye Feng and his group, approached with a smile, "Well done, you youngsters have done well to safely make it here on your own."
The First Hall Master wasn't joking. rely passing through the Outer Battlefield was fraught with many Alien Beasts and hidden perils, coupled with mbers from various Great Powers hurrying towards this region, it was all too easy to encounter mbers from hostile forces. In previous editions, there were always lone prodigies who perished en route, mostly due to being ambushed by rival forces.
A small portion also fell to the jaws of Alien Beasts, which is why it beca customary for Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm to lead the teams, with the goal of reducing losses.
"Hall Master, you flatter us. We were just lucky and didn't encounter any Alien Beasts on the way,"
Ye Feng said modestly.
The First Hall Master glanced at the Yin-Yang Temple camp, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he turned back and directly transmitted his voice to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, did you encounter anyone from the Sword Saint Palace on your way here?"
The First Hall Master had just noticed a burst of spiritual power from the direction of the Yin-Yang Temple; glancing over, he didn't see anyone from the Sword Saint Palace, which piqued his curiosity. Could sothing have happened to the people from the Sword Saint Palace?
Now, there wasn't much ti left until the official start of the Talent List Martial Competition, and most had arrived within the designated hour. People from various powers were almost all present, with only the Yin-Yang Temple having about a dozen people missing. It was clear to everyone that only the Sword Saint Palace mbers were absent.
Seeing that Ye Feng's group was the last to arrive, and recalling that Ye Feng seed to have a grievance with the Sword Saint Palace back on Earth, he asked Ye Feng about it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a stir in his heart, but his facial expression and eyes revealed no fluctuation as he transmitted back to the First Hall Master, "Reporting back to the First Hall Master, we did not see anyone from the Sword Saint Palace. Along the way, we only killed so Alien Beasts, which delayed us a little."
The First Hall Master looked at Ye Feng and the others with a skeptical eye, then rembered the Sword Saint Palace was said to have a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm leading them. If they had really encountered Ye Feng and his group, they should have been injured if not dead. But looking at them now, they seed unhard. It appeared they truly hadn't encountered anyone from the Sword Saint Palace.
But why hadn't the Sword Saint Palace mbers, led by a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm, arrived yet?
Considering the locations of the various powers, the Talent List Martial Competition was generally held in a central area with each of the Four Great Powers encamped equidistant from one another. Generally speaking, the arrival tis of the powers should not differ too much.
Many lone prodigies had already arrived, yet the Sword Saint Palace of the Yin-Yang Temple hadn't. This sparked curiosity among the crowd.
As the First Hall Master mulled over this, a loud voice rose from the Western Vampire Divine Court, "Tanaka, where are the people from your Yin-Yang Temple's Sword Saint Palace? Why haven't they arrived? This Divine Lord is keen to witness the new Sword Saint of the Xuanyuan from your Yin-Yang Temple's Sword Saint Palace. Don't tell he got scared off halfway through?"
The voice was unmasked, audible to all the powers present.
All eyes turned to see that in the blood fog surrounding the Western Vampire Divine Court, a figure now hovered in the air, its blood-colored wings fluttering, a pale face, and sharp fangs bared.
This was a Vampire Divine Lord from the Western Vampire Divine Court!
The Divine Lord looked amused, his gaze already fixed in the direction of the Yin-Yang Temple camp.
At the Yin-Yang Temple camp, a figure in a long robe rose slowly from a tent, the Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm leading the team – Divine Master Tanaka.
Divine Master Tanaka, with a cold expression, glanced at the Vampire Divine Lord and said in a chilly voice, "Lais, there's no need for you to worry about this. Sword Saint of the Western Palace had so matters to attend to and has not arrived yet."
He did not reveal the truth that the Sword Saint from the Western Palace had gone missing, as the sudden disappearance of a newly advanced Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm was a trendous loss for the Yin-Yang Temple. Announcing it now would have significant repercussions for the Yin-Yang Temple in the future, so the matter had to be kept under wraps for the mont.
Hearing Divine Master Tanaka speak thus, those present couldn't help but look doubtful. Had so matters? Or had he disappeared, or encountered so accident?
The crowd speculated, but no one could be sure of the exact situation, especially since the Sword Saint from the Western Palace of the Sword Saint Palace had also reached the Realm of Yin and Yang. A being of the Yin-Yang Realm was typically an unrivaled existence in the Outer Battlefield, so logically, no accident should occur.
"But the ti has co, and if the Sword Saint from the Western Palace of your Yin-Yang Temple does not show up, we must begin,"
said a man in a cloaked Daoist Robe from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country, as he too rose in the air. He was a Divine Shaman from Snow Wolf Country, speaking with a cold face.
"There's no need to wait, the hour has co. We shouldn't wait for those of no consequence. Distinguished friends, let us proceed to the arena,"
said the First Hall Master, now levitating as well, speaking indifferently.
Divine Master Tanaka's face imdiately darkened. What did he an by people of no consequence?
