Yu Ningbai, wearing a Confucian robe, said loudly:
"The 'Decisive Battle' is now over. The top sixteen have been decided separately and will advance to the next round of 'Elimination Battle'!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and 16 stone slabs flew out of the air and floated in front of the sixteen participating disciples.
"Please leave your names on the stone slab in front of you."
"You will draw lots later to choose your opponent for tomorrow."
Soon, Ye Qingchen and others left their names on the stone slab in front of them.
Then sixteen stone slabs flew up into the air and flew into the sleeves of Yu Ningbai's robe.
After a while, Yu Ningbai stretched out his hand and sixteen wooden sticks appeared together in a bamboo tube, which he held in his hand.
"Please draw lots."
Ye Qingchen and others immediately stepped forward to draw lots.
After a while, they all finished drawing lots.
Seeing this, Yu Ningbai stretched out his hand and waved, and the sixteen wooden sticks suddenly turned into sixteen cyan streams of light, flying into the air and converging into a cyan light curtain.
Above the light curtain, the opponents of each of the sixteen participating disciples emerged.
Except for Gui Ming Palace, Feixian Pavilion, and the last sect that had been eliminated, everyone present immediately paid attention to this curtain of light.
However, the grouping situation shown on the light screen made them feel a little regretful.
Because there was no bloody situation where two talented disciples who received much attention met in advance.
But this also allowed them to make quite clear predictions and judgments about the subsequent promotions of major disciples.
"Fortunately, Mr. Ye did not meet Qingyao in advance, and they were even divided into different halves."
The second elder said solemnly: "At present, it seems that except for Qi Ziyan, the rest of Qingyao in the upper half of the area should not be opponents."
"On Mr. Ye's side...'Little Sword Immortal' Xiao Wumo and 'Thousand-level Lieutenant General' Ren Qianzhong are actually in the same half area as him!"
"And if nothing else happens, Mr. Ye will meet Xiao Wumo in the top eight battles. After defeating the opponent, he will meet Ren Qianzhong in the top four battles!"
"This is not really good news..."
According to their understanding of Ye Qingchen, the upper limit of his combat power is that he can at most suppress the average level four of the Mysterious Hidden Realm.
But the problem is, these two are definitely not ordinary level four warriors of the Mysterious Hidden Realm!
They are the chief genius disciples of Lie Sun Sect and Qinglian Sword Pavilion!
"There's nothing to worry about."
Yun Yangqing spoke calmly and said: "You must know that Ye Qingchen's goal for this trip is to get the first place in this year's 'Tianhu Battle'."
"Even if he has to meet a genius disciple from two of the first three sects in advance, he will never allow himself to fail."
"Therefore, his real opponent is Qi Ziwu from Rufeng Study School!"
"He will never let himself fall before the decisive battle against Qi Ziwu."
Hearing this, the faces of the second elder and others relaxed slightly, and they all nodded in agreement.
What Yun Yangqing said is indeed correct.
Ye Qingchen is the type of person who is willing to face all difficulties in order to achieve his goals.
Don't say it's just Qi Zinuo.
Even if a powerful Saint Emperor blocks his way to achieve his goal, he will try his best to defeat him completely!
"The drawing of the top sixteen has been completed. Please take a good rest tonight in the accommodation arranged by me, Rufeng Study, to prepare for the first round of the 'elimination battle' tomorrow!"
After Yu Ningbai finished speaking, he took Qi Ziwu and two disciples from Rufeng Study Studio back to the rest area of Rufeng Study Studio.
Soon, the other disciples who participated in the battle also returned to their respective rest areas.
That night.
Confucian style study.
In the residence of Huanxia Sect.
Ye Qingchen closed his eyes and meditated in his room.
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Ye Qingchen opened his eyes: "Please come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and a sky-blue figure came into Ye Qingchen's sight.
It is Xia Qingyao.
She was still wearing the same sky-blue dress, which faintly glowed under the transmitted moonlight.
But even so, it's still not as eye-catching as her exposed snow-white skin.
"It's so late. When Fairy Xia comes here this time, is she here to talk to me late at night?"
Ye Qingchen said half-jokingly.
As expected, Fairy Xia couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him and said:
"I came here this time to ask you... are you confident in defeating Qi Ziwu?"
"If we don't make a breakthrough during the time we meet him, the probability of defeating him should be low."
Ye Qingchen said truthfully.
But to Xia Qingyao's ears, it clearly meant something else.
The implication of this sentence is...if he can make a breakthrough within this period of time, he is very likely to be able to defeat Qi Ziwu!
Xia Qingyao thought for a moment and then shook her head slightly.
Tomorrow, the first round of the top 16 will be played within two days.
The subsequent quarter-finals and semi-finals were held one day apart and completed within one day.
Only after the semi-finals are over, the two participating disciples who advance to the finals will have three days of rest.
In such a short period of time, Ye Qingchen had little hope of making a breakthrough in cultivation.
After thinking about this, Xia Qingyao sighed and said leisurely:
"I didn't expect that fate would play such a big joke on us..."
Ruo Qi Ziyan is still a level four overlord as they know.
Then it is completely possible for Ye Qingchen to defeat him!
But now he is already a level five Overlord!
From the early stage to the middle stage in one step!
Moreover, this realm was stabilized with the help of Han Gufeng and several elders from Rufeng Study Studio.
It will not be like a warrior who has just entered the next realm.
"It's okay, even if he is a sixth-level or seventh-level Overlord, I will definitely find a way to defeat him!"
Ye Qingchen clenched his fists and looked out the window at the night with a firm look in his eyes: "In order to bring the Ye family back to its previous peak, no matter who is in front of me, I will eradicate them at all costs!"
When she saw Ye Qingchen's unwavering profile, Xia Qingyao's eyes were slightly dull.
She didn't expect Ye Qingchen to have such unwavering faith and will.
Just when Xia Qingyao was about to speak out, Yun Yangqing's voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Ye Qingchen, come to my place, there is an important guest who wants to see you."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen and Xia Qingyao looked at each other.
They can probably guess who the distinguished guest should be.
as expected.
When Ye Qingchen saw the eldest grandson Chongyang in Yunyangqing's courtyard, there was no surprise on his face.
"Junior Ye Qingchen has met Elder Chongyang!"
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands into fists and bent down to salute.
Facing one of the elders with the highest experience in the Jidao Sanctuary, he always had respect for him.
"Haha, little friend Ye, there is no need to be polite, just treat me as an ordinary old man."
Changsun Chongyang looked at Ye Qingchen up and down with a smile, and suddenly said with a smile:
"Everyone knows that in this world, there are as many geniuses as there are princes across the river, and there are always a lot of freaks and monsters."
"But I really didn't expect that there would be such an amazing genius as Ye Xiaoyou in this world!"
As Changsun Chongyang spoke, his tone became slightly excited:
"If Xiaoyou Ye can join our Jidao Sanctuary, I believe that he will definitely become the supreme glory of our Jidao Sanctuary in the future!"
"Even... it is very likely that he will become the new generation of Tao Emperor of our Jidao Sanctuary in the future!"
Tao Emperor!
When they heard this name, both Yun Yangqing and Ye Qingchen were shocked.
The Tao Emperor is the master of their holy realm!
It is also the most powerful existence in the entire world!
Originally, an elder like Changsun Chongyang had absolutely no qualifications to make irresponsible remarks about a transcendent existence like the Tao Emperor.
But even so, he still insisted that Ye Qingchen was likely to become a new generation of Tao Emperor!
From this we can see how exaggerated the potential Ye Qingchen has shown!
"Elder Chongyang's words are too strong."
Yunyang Qing said quietly: "Ye Qingchen is only eighteen years old. It's hard to say whether he can reach that height in the future."
"indeed so."
Changsun Chongyang nodded and said, "This is why I took the liberty of visiting you tonight."
"If little friend Ye can join our Jidao Sanctuary after this "Battle for Tianhu" is over——"
"I can guarantee that Ye Xiaoyou will never be targeted or harmed in the slightest. I can definitely guarantee that Ye Xiaoyou will have smooth sailing on his cultivation journey and will attain enlightenment and become an emperor!"
Changsun Chongyang's promise is extremely tempting to anyone.
If the Jidao Sanctuary can really protect Ye Qingchen with all its strength, then no matter how hard the other three holy places in the Dark Demon Netherland target the Jidao Sanctuary, they will never be able to succeed.
After all, the Jidao Holy Land is the well-deserved first holy land!
Is it so easy to target? "I am really unworthy of Elder Chongyang's love."
Ye Qingchen said solemnly: "But this junior really hasn't thought about which holy land to join."
"Currently, this junior is very comfortable staying in Huanxia Sect and has no plans to leave for the time being."
"So, I am afraid that this senior will disappoint Elder Chongyang tonight."
Regarding the eldest grandson Chongyang coming here to find him privately, Ye Qingchen already knew what he was thinking.
It's just that he wants to get a promise from him in advance so that after the battle is over, Ye Qingchen can be dragged to the Holy Land of the Ultimate Realm as soon as possible.
You must know that the Jidao Holy Land is the one that values the infusion of new blood the most among the four holy places.
It is precisely for this reason that they can maintain the dominance of the first holy land among the four holy places for a long time.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Changsun Chongyang came here so eagerly.
Seeing that Ye Qingchen still gave the same answer as before, Changsun Chongyang had a look of disappointment on his face.
However, he was not so impatient that he had to ask Ye Qingchen to give an answer immediately.
So he nodded and smiled:
"It's okay, maybe I was too impatient and scared Xiaoyou Ye."
"Let's do this. When Ye Xiaoyou intends to join the Jidao Sanctuary, he will contact me."
Changsun Chongyang took out a simple token from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Ye Qingchen.
"With this token, you can contact me, and you can also find me unimpeded when you go to the Holy Land of the Ultimate Realm."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but feel flattered. After taking the token, he quickly thanked him.
It is obvious that the weight of this token is self-evident!
"Well, since the original purpose has been achieved, I won't stay any longer."
After sending the token, the eldest grandson Chongyang stood up, causing Yun Yangqing to stand up quickly.
"I would like to send you off, Master Yun. Please also ask Master Yun to help me and say a few more kind words in front of Ye Xiaoyou...I will be very grateful."
Yunyangqing nodded and agreed.
"By the way, I'm probably not the only one who came to see Ye Xiaoyou tonight."
Changsun Chongyang suddenly smiled and said: "Young Ye Ye, you must be mentally prepared."
Ye Qingchen was startled.
The next moment, Changsun Chongyang stepped forward, stepped into the void, and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but his eyes narrowed.
Is this the method possessed by the powerful Saint Emperor?
It can actually affect the surrounding space!
"It seems that there are quite a few people looking for you tonight."
Yun Yangqing suddenly said: "Envoys from Dark Demon Netherland and Xingluohen Mountain are also waiting outside the courtyard."
"Which one do you want to see first?"
Ye Qingchen was startled, then thought for a while and said:
"Let's go see the senior from Xingluohen Mountain first."
"Although Xingluohen Mountain has cultivated several avenue powers, which seem a bit mixed, the main weapon is still the sword."
"I think he will give very good conditions in this regard... I will first go and hear how big the pie he draws can be."
Hearing this, Yun Yangqing couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Qingchen is definitely the only one who dares to say this about one of the four holy lands.
Soon, Ye Qingchen came to a hill outside the courtyard based on the aura specially released by Ning Duankong.
"Oh, you actually came to me first instead of looking for that crazy bitch Ye Zhaoqing."
Ning Duangkong seemed very surprised to see Ye Qingchen actually looking for him first.
"Junior Ye Qingchen has met senior Ning."
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands and said, "I wonder why senior Ning came to see this junior?"
Seeing Ye Qingchen pretending to be stupid, Ning Duangkong couldn't help but said with a smile:
"Stop pretending to be stupid with me. If you don't want to join us in Star Luohen Mountain, just say so."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen scratched his head and smiled, looking shy.
Seeing this, Ning Duankong had no choice but to shake his head and said:
"I saw the look on Elder Chongyang's face when he left before, and I roughly knew what kind of choice you would make."
"But I didn't expect that you would still refuse when faced with Elder Chongyang's personal visit to woo you."
"Junior doesn't have that idea for the time being." Ye Qingchen said: "But, maybe he will think about it in a few days."
Hearing this, Ning Duankong didn't say much.
He was quiet for a while, looking at the moonlight in the sky, and suddenly said:
"By the way, have you heard about the Ye family in Wuhuang Country?"
