A not tall figure stood on the mountain peak, looking into the distance.
There seemed to be no breath in him, as if he was completely natural.
But as soon as you get a little closer, you can feel a burning heat rushing towards you.
He is the leader of Wanyan Immortal Sect—Yan Wuhai!
"Huang Ning." He suddenly whispered.
"I'm here."
An old figure appeared behind him out of thin air, bending down to bow to him.
"How is the martial arts meeting in Fengyan City going?"
Yan Wuhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Based on time, today should be the finals, right?"
"Back to the sect master, it is indeed the case."
Huang Ning said respectfully: "Among the disciples sent by our Wan Yanxian Sect, Chu Huamei, the leader, passed all the tests and successfully entered the finals!"
"Haha, sure enough, I knew I would not misjudge him."
Yan Wuhai smiled lightly: "Otherwise, I would not take the opportunity to arrange such a martial arts meeting."
"In the end, the Taixuan Golden Flame Pill is still ours, but we can expand our influence for no reason!"
“It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!”
After sighing for a few times, Yan Wuhai asked casually: "So, which genius disciple is his opponent, the Sanhuo Yan Sect or the Fei Yan Sect?"
In his impression, disciples under the age of thirty-five, whether from the Three Fire Flame Sect or the Fei Yan Sect, should not be able to produce a Half-Step Feather Immortal!
But in the finals, Chu Huamei's opponent should still be one of the disciples from these two sects.
"Back to the sect leader...it's none of them."
"Oh?" Yan Wuhai looked slightly sideways.
"Chu Huamei's opponent is a casual cultivator named Ye Qingchen."
Huang Ning told everything he knew: "This person has extremely high potential and his strength is beyond ordinary people's imagination."
"He can use his cultivation at the ninth level of the Touching Dao Realm to exert strength comparable to the tenth level of the Heavenly Climbing Realm!"
"With a cultivation level of ninth level in the Touching Dao Realm, it is as good as the tenth level of the Heavenly Realm?!"
A look of shock finally appeared on Yan Wuhai's face.
This level of combat power leap has never been heard of by him!
"Quick! Contact Yu Wanzhao immediately! No matter what method is used, we must recruit him into our Wanyan Immortal Sect!"
Yan Wuhai said excitedly.
"...He has already refused." Huang Ning hesitated for a moment, then said loudly, "And he refused twice."
"?" Yan Wuhai suddenly frowned, "What's going on?"
"The day before the martial arts meeting started, Ye Qingchen had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Wang Chuilin, the son of the city lord of Yanlian City, because of the two daughters of the Xu family in Xu Yangcheng. He punched Wang Chuilin away, which attracted the attention of Chu Huamei, who was drinking in a restaurant at the time.
and Bai Zhengxi’s attention.”
"At that time, Chu Huamei asked Bai Zhengxi to try to recruit Ye Qingchen."
"But Bai Zhengxi seemed to be rejected when he went there. Before the finals started, Hou Chu Huamei once again extended an invitation to Ye Qingchen and offered extremely generous conditions."
"But I was still rejected."
Hearing this, Yan Wuhai frowned slightly, then shook his head: "Forget it, since our Wanyan Immortal Sect has never had any trouble with him, there is no need to provoke him."
"Such people... would rather not be friends than enemies."
Yan Wuhai closed his eyes, enjoying the sunshine and waving his hands behind him:
"Go down and report to me after Chu Huamei wins the title."
In his mind, he still believed that Chu Huamei would only be the final leader of this martial arts meeting.
Even if that Ye Qingchen could exert a strength comparable to the tenth level of the Ascension Realm, he would not think that Ye Qingchen could win over Chu Huamei.
After all, as someone who has experienced it, he knows how huge the gap is between the half-step Feather Immortal and the tenth level of Ascending Heaven Realm.
"Yes, sect master, I take my leave."
Huang Ning bowed again, and then his figure gradually disappeared.
But at this moment, another old man in robes walked up.
Yan Wuhai, who was bathing in the sunshine with his eyes closed, still had his eyes closed and his lips moved slightly:
"Liang Yan, do you have anything to report to me this time?"
"Back to the sect master, there is indeed something important to report."
The old man in robes, who was called "Liang Yan", bent down and bowed, and said respectfully:
"Just now, we received a message from someone claiming to be Wang Chuilin, the son of the Lord of Yanlian City."
Wang Chuilin?
Yan Wuhai suddenly opened his eyes.
Isn't this the son of the lord of Yanlian City who had a conflict with Ye Qingchen?
He said nothing and signaled Liang Yan to continue speaking.
"He wrote in the letter that Xiang Yuyan's death has nothing to do with our Wanyan Immortal Sect."
"The person who really killed Xiang Yuyan... was a guy named Ye Qingchen!"
Yan Wuhai: "?!"
He turned around as fast as lightning, with a shocked look on his face: "What did you say?!"
A quarter of an hour ago, he was saying not to be an enemy of people like Ye Qingchen.
But why did this guy turn around and "direct trouble to the east" and pour this dirty water on their heads?!
Was there any hatred between him and the Wanyan Immortal Sect?
"Sect Master, this Ye Qingchen...who is he? Why did he do this?!"
Liang Yan asked aloud.
As the second elder of the Wanyan Immortal Sect, he is personally responsible for all matters in the sect in the absence of the great elder.
Therefore, he didn't know much about the progress of the martial arts association, so he asked such a question.
Yan Wuhai did not answer him immediately, but frowned in thought.
He couldn't figure it out.
Why would Ye Qingchen do this?
Finally, he squinted his eyes, and a frightening cold light burst out from them.
"Yanlian City is one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Sanhuo Yan Sect. We have received the news. There is no reason for them to be one step behind us."
"Sect Master Mingjian." Liang Yan nodded, "According to the news from our spies placed in Sanhuoyan Sect, the second young master of Sanhuoyan Sect has taken many elders on the 'Zhusun Yunzhou'
Head to Beacon Flame City quickly."
Zhuri Yunzhou is the most expensive Yunzhou of the Sanhuo Yan Sect, and its speed is also unparalleled.
This shows how angry Xiang Wuhan was.
"Very good, then let's just wait and see what happens."
Yan Wuhai narrowed his eyes and said, "In addition, send a message to Yu Wanzhao and ask him not to do anything to Ye Qingchen."
"?" Liang Yan looked confused, "Sect Master, this man named Ye Qingchen framed our Wanyan Immortal Sect, shouldn't we send someone to arrest him?"
"You don't have to think too much, just do as I say."
Yan Wuhai said calmly.
Liang Yan clasped his hands into fists and left here immediately.
Yan Wuhai turned his head to look at the sun in the sky, and the firelight reflected in his pupils.
He did not intend to let Wanyan Immortal Sect take action.
Before he understood Ye Qingchen's hatred for Wanyan Immortal Sect, he did not plan to let Wanyan Immortal Sect come forward.
This is called keeping a line in everything.
"Oh, a little guy I've never met before... I have to find out what's going on between you and my Wanyan Immortal Sect."
————————
Beacon Flame City, Douwu Terrace.
Half an hour passed.
On the martial arts platform at this moment, the gray fog that shrouded the entire martial arts arena still existed.
There doesn't seem to be any signs of disappearing.
Many people began to become anxious.
"What on earth is going on?! We can't even feel the situation inside, and we don't know who is better and who is worse now!"
"Can't the elders of the three major sects also be unable to sense the situation inside?"
"I didn't expect that a casual cultivator with no family or sect could reach this point and display such mysterious and weird martial arts... Wow, it's really eye-opening."
"Although I still don't know what's going on inside, it's worth it to witness the birth of two peerless geniuses!"
Some people are waiting anxiously, while others are laughing and chatting.
"It's really strange... No matter how much spiritual sense is penetrated into it, I just can't sense what's going on inside..."
Yu Wanzhao's brows were furrowed tightly.
This was the first time he had encountered this situation in the finals.
Since no one from both sides fell out of the martial arts arena, he could not determine who would lose and who would win.
"If this is held inside the sect, we can also go to the treasure house to find some things to break through the gray fog and find out what's going on inside."
Yu Wanzhao rubbed his eyebrows, feeling quite a headache.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that the gray-black fog domain seemed to be shrinking!
He suddenly became energetic.
The gray fog dissipated, revealing the figures of Ye Qingchen and Chu Huamei.
The injuries on the two of them at this moment are much more serious than before the gray mist realm appeared!
There were many sword marks all over Ye Qingchen's body.
There was also a bloody hole in his chest, and several ribs were broken.
There was blood flowing on the palm of his hand holding Yucang Sword.
But Chu Huamei was even more serious than him.
The Ice Spirit Flame Sword in his hand trembled violently, and the sword was full of gaps. It looked nothing like the same sword as the previous Ice Spirit Flame Sword.
Looking at her body again, Chu Huamei's hair was disheveled, with a few streaks of blood left on her forehead, sliding down her face, making her look extremely oozing.
His left arm was almost broken, and it looked like it could be completely torn off if the wind blew a little stronger!
This tragic situation left everyone stunned.
"This... this is actually such a brutal beating?"
"The injuries on both of them... were too terrible. I can't imagine how they managed to survive."
"It's not worth it to injure yourself so badly for a Taixuan Gold Flame Pill..."
Many people shook their heads.
Chu Huamei, who was panting violently, raised his head, and the blurry outline of Ye Qingchen's figure was reflected in his blurred vision.
"I have to say...you are really a...freak..."
After Chu Huamei finished speaking these words with difficulty, her hand loosened, the Ice Spirit Flame Sword fell to the ground, and she completely passed out.
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
He fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled.
This is...Chu Huamei lost?
This scene happened so suddenly that they couldn't even recover.
Until Yu Wanzhao's expression suddenly changed and he quickly went down to inspect Chu Huamei's injuries.
After finding out that he had not damaged his blood essence and that the injuries he suffered were not life-threatening, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he looked at Ye Qingchen and shouted with great emotion:
"Congratulations to Ye Qingchen, a casual cultivator! He successfully won the title of the leader of this martial arts competition!"
Bang bang bang bang!
For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
Everyone is celebrating Ye Qingchen!
Before the game, many people were not optimistic about Ye Qingchen.
But he used his own strength to break many doubts!
"Hurry back and recuperate. Come tomorrow to receive the Taixuan Golden Flame Pill."
After Yu Wanzhao gave him instructions, he immediately flew away from the martial arts arena with Chu Huamei in his arms.
"Tai Xuan Jin Yan Dan..."
Ye Qingchen grinned.
Then, he turned around and returned to his rest area to greet the cheers and applause of the two sisters of the Xu family.
The next day.
On the martial arts stage, Ye Qingchen, who had fully recovered from his injuries, stood on the stage, listening to Yu Wanzhao's speech, and waiting for the Taixuan Golden Flame Pill to fall into his hands.
"Finally, let us congratulate the leader of this martial arts competition...Ye Qingchen! He has won the final reward of this martial arts competition——"
"Tai Xuan Golden Flame Pill!"
After Yu Wanzhao's speech fell, he walked up to Ye Qingchen and took out a golden box.
"Inside this box is the Taixuan Golden Flame Pill."
Yu Wanzhao smiled and said: "You'd better not open it now... This box has a strong sealing effect on the medicinal energy of Taixuan Jinyan Dan."
"If you don't want the medicine to lose too much, it's best to wait until you go back to take it before opening it."
"Thank you, Elder Yu."
Ye Qingchen took the box and put it into the ring without ceremony.
However, he had just put the box in.
A huge cloud boat suddenly reached the sky above Fengyan City at an extremely fast speed from far to near.
Everyone present had not yet had time to identify where this cloud boat came from.
