“Father, h-how, how do you know about the Supreme Divine Mansion?” Yuan Han Jin’s expression changed slightly upon hearing his father’s message. He had told his father that he had found a dangerous place filled with fortuitous encounters, but he had never said it was the Supreme Divine Mansion.
In the past, when Yuan Han Jin’s disciples died in the beginning, Yuan Ping Sheng had dismissed it as an accident. However, as Yuan Han Jin’s disciples continued to die one after another, he became suspicious. At that time, he had questioned Yuan Han Jin, and Yuan Han Jin said he had found a place that could help rudimentary Lords of Gods become intermediate Lord of Gods, providing they came out of that place alive. After listening to Yuan Han Jin, he had warned Yuan Han Jin against sending his disciples to that deadly place again.
Yuan Ping Sheng scoffed and said coldly, “I knew it all along. I just didn’t want to expose you in the past. As you know, the Supreme Divine Mansion may contain fortuitous encounters, but it’s extremely deadly. The survival rates are low. There’s a reason why I prohibited you from sending your disciples there. It wasn’t easy for you to find a talented new disciple after so many years, but you actually sent him to that place. Yang Qian Ye was indeed talented and had good comprehension skills, but it would be impossible for him to progress so much in such a short time. It’s obvious that you sent him to the Supreme Divine Mansions, and he, fortunately, survived his time there.”
Yuan Han Jin smiled and replied, “Father, you’re too smart. However, I succeeded this time! Look at him! He managed to rank in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Feast! Even if he’s only in tenth place, he’ll still obtain two slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm! One of the slots will go to you, Father!”
Yuan Ping Sheng remained silent for a moment. Then, he replied with a sigh, “I’ve told you that the Secret Holy Realm might not be able to help me. I’m still far from becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods so entering the Secret Holy Realm might not even help me to become one. There were many intermediate Emperors of Gods like me who entered the Secret Holy Realm in the past, and they all failed to achieve a breakthrough. This chance will only be wasted on me.”
Nearing the end of his words, Yuan Ping Sheng’s voice softened considerably. He knew Yuan Han Jin was doing this for his sake.
Yuan Han Jin replied solemnly, “Father, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a breakthrough. No matter what, you’ll definitely benefit from entering the Secret Holy Realm. Although you acted like nothing was wrong, I knew you were injured during your last Heavenly Tribulation!”
Yuan Ping Sheng fell silent after listening to Yuan Han Jin’s message. He changed the topic and asked, “Did you have something to do with the death of Yang Qian Ye’s father?”
Yuan Han Jin’s eyes widened immediately. He hastily replied, “Father, what do you mean? What could I possibly have to do with his father’s death? Qian Ye and the 10,000 Devils Sect confirmed that his father was killed by Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. Qian Ye was very determined to avenge his father, and as a result, he survived the Supreme Divine Mansion. I…”
Before Yuan Han Jin finished speaking, Yuan Ping Sheng interjected solemnly, “Someone has already started an investigation. It’s been confirmed that when Qian Ye’s father died, you weren’t in the Pure Yang Sect’s estate. Do you think the others would be fooled by you? Do you believe they’d think it’s just a coincidence?”
Yuan Han Jin’s expression darkened when he heard that the matter was being investigated. He asked, “Father, do you know who’s investigating the matter?”
“I only know it’s one of the Ascension Elders,” Yuan Ping Sheng replied.
Yuan Han Jin’s expression changed again, and he instinctively glanced at Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu.
Before Yuan Han Jin reacted, Yuan Ping Sheng sent another message. “Be honest with me. Do you have anything to do with the death of Qian Ye’s father? If you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t be able to help you if things escalate. I’m your father. Do you think I’ll harm you?”
Yuan Han Jin was moved by his father’s words. After a brief moment, he replied, “Father, I, I killed Qian Ye’s father. However, I made sure not to leave any traces so it should be fine. I mimicked Long Qing Chong’s movements to kill Qian Ye’s father after studying past Mirror Image recordings of him. I even recorded the entire scene and deliberately left it there so everyone would think it’s Long Qing Chong.”
“Is that what you think?” Yuan Ping Sheng said coldly, “It might not be as traceless as you think it is. In any case, this will be the last time that you do something like this.”
After the conversation ended, Yuan Han Jin sighed in relief inwardly. Fortunately, his father did not reprimand him too harshly. However, he was unaware that after their conversation, his father, who had not left Ping Sheng Island for a long time now, not only left Ping Sheng Island, but he had left the Pure Yang Sect’s estate as well, making his way to the Flying Dragon Sect.
…
At the same time.
Lin Dong Lai said, “Participant number ten, please enter the battlefield.”
Everyone watched as Wanqi Hong flew into the battlefield.
Wanqi Hong’s expression was a little gloomy. He thought to himself, ‘Everyone thinks I’m only strong enough to challenge Wang Xiong or Yang Qian Ye?’
After a moment, Wanqi Hong turned to look at the people from the Howling Heaven Sect and said expressionlessly, “I challenge participant number four.”
The fourth participant was Yuan Mo Yu from the Howling Heaven Sect. He was a hidden trump card of the sect and had only revealed his strength during the Seven Mansions Feast.
Yuan Mo Yu flew out expressionlessly, looking like a monk who had forsaken all worldly desires and emotions.
Everyone began to discuss among themselves.
“Wanqi Hong challenged Yuan Mo Yu?”
“Isn’t he risking too much for the fourth place?”
“It’d be better for him to challenge Yang Qian Ye since there’s a chance Yang Qian Ye has yet to recover from his injuries.”
“Well, I guess he’s aiming for the fourth place, not the ninth place…”
“That’s right.”
Wanqi Hong felt like he had made the right choice even more so after listening to the hushed conversations in his surroundings. With this, his mood improved slightly.
After landing, Yuan Mo Yu wore a rare smile on his face as he said, “Wanqi Hong, the former strongest young prodigy in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Your reputation precedes you.”
Yuan Mo Yu’s words were said casually with no malice, but to Wanqi Hong, they sounded like they were mocking him. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said, “I’ve been waiting to spar with the outstanding prodigy from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect. I really want to see if you’re going to embarrass your sect today.”
Wanqi Hong smiled contemptuously at the end of his words.
Yuan Mo Yu frowned upon hearing those words. However, after a moment, he realized that Wanqi Hong must have taken offense at his words when he meant none. However, as an outstanding prodigy, he was naturally prideful. As such, he did not bother to explain himself. He said expressionlessly, “Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass the Howling Heaven Sect. You’ll see for yourself soon enough.”
Soon after, the duo moved.
Wanqi Hong attacked fiercely like a raging tornado.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous explosions rang in the air as shockwaves after shockwaves rippled out.
Lin Dong Lai waved his hand, neutralizing the shockwaves.
After exchanging ten and twenty moves, the two opponents were still equally matched.
“The former strongest young prodigy from the Eastern Ridge Mansion really lived up to his reputation! He’s undoubtedly strong!”
“I didn’t expect Yuan Mo Yu to be strong as well. After all, he was not as famous as Wanqi Hong. Yuan Mo Yu is amazing!”
“Based on the current situation, it seems like it’ll take a while to determine a winner.”
“Look! Wanqi Hong is casting his bloodline power!”
“Yuan Mo Yu is doing the same!”
After exchanging 30 moves, Wanqi Hong and Yuan Mo Yu finally cast their bloodline powers, greatly boosting their strengths.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the high-ranking officials from the Howling Heaven Sect and the Wanqi clan darkened.
At this time, Wanqi Yu Ning received a message.
“They’ll exhaust themselves if this continues. What do you think, Elder Yu Ning?”
