The human lords and sages from the various factions gathered for the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord’s birthday banquet. But now that the small group matches were over, the arena was completely made available. All the matches from now on would be held on the Divine Wilderness Stage. And everyone was waiting for them!
In the past, when Tai Ah Divine City cultivators battled each other, the audience would only be cultivators from the Tai Ah Divine City. Since everyone was from the same faction, even if someone lost, there would not be much disgrace.
But now, every match was being watched by the different important figures.
There was no doubt that such a situation would make people tense up.
“Senior Wen…” A thirteen year old junior swallowed a gulp of saliva as he pulled on Wen Yu’s sleeves before turning silent.
Wen Yu knew what he was nervous about. The three of them should have been eliminated. It was because Yi Yun had fought early, so there was no need for them to fight in the first round, and this allowing them to survive. Their opponents for the battles ahead were all much stronger than the three of them, so going up on the stage to fight was a masochistic move.
It wasn’t a big deal to be battered by others normally, but under the watchful gaze of all the important figures in the audience, the resulting embarrassment from being badly beaten was obvious.
Wen Yu was helpless. In fact, her situation wasn’t any better than the junior.
Just glancing at the Yun Long Divine Kingdom participant benches, each person gave off a terrifying aura that made people fear them.
“You guys don’t have to go up.” Yi Yun said from behind Wen Yu. His voice was calm.
“Ah? I… ” Wen Yu’s face turned red as she fell into a predicament, “At least… we can test them out…”
Wen Yu felt that she had to play a tiny role, no matter how tiny it was.
Having joined this alliance tournament, she had done nothing besides gathering intelligence.
“There is no need.”
Yi Yun also did not need Wen Yu to test his opponents out. In fact, they were unqualified to do so. The battles that were going to happen only involved him and Chu Xiaoran.
As for their opponents, there were seven people! The number of people was more than three times larger.
The VIPs from the various factions were observing these new people, especially Yi Yun and Jun Yue.
Everyone focused on them.
Yi Yun had defeated Viper without using a weapon and Jun Yue defeated Li Hong without moving a single step.
Both of them were absolute geniuses, but unfortunately, Yi Yun was one year younger than Jun Yue.
For geniuses in their teens, it was the period where they progressed the fastest. A year’s time was too long. Even 3-4 months could unsurprisingly allow a person to increase their strength exponentially due to one breakthrough.
“Such a pity. That Yi Yun is young and he doesn’t have many team mates. One person alone can’t save the situation.” said an Elder of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom, who was sitting in the Elders seats, while stroking his beard.
“If Yi Yun was a year older, he might be able to fight Jun Yue. But now…he is too young.”
Another Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elder echoed. He was dressed in a plain white robe and had the demeanor of an immortal, it was as if he existed on a different ethereal plane.
The two of them believed that there was no doubt that Jun Yue would win the battle.
“Dumb ass!”
Just as the two Elders finished saying their respective statements, they suddenly heard someone exclaim that. They were stunned. In such an occasion, with so many legendary figures sitting together, who would use such low-grade words?
They turned around and saw a thin old man. He was nibbling on seeds and also throwing the shells away without thought.
The old man was looking right at the Divine Wilderness Stage and he wasn’t even looking at them.
This thin old man was none other than Cang Yan.
The immortal-looking white-robed Elder was sure that the “retard” who said those words was that old man.
“My friend, why do you say so!?” The white-robed Elder exclaimed angrily.
“What?” Cang Yan looked shocked at being shouted at. He gave a confused expression, “Are you referring to me?”
“Yes!” The white-robed Elder’s expression was ugly. “Please explain the words you said just now!”
“Just now? Me?” Cang Yan looked surprised before finally understanding, “Oh, while I was chewing on these Spirit Abutilon Seeds, I suddenly remembered something about my mount, a green ass. It had overturned my herb furnace yesterday, so I cursed it. Is there a problem?”
Cang Yan gave a look of innocence, while the two Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elders’ faces turned livid.
They were questioning Cang Yan in a disapproving manner but they had been scolded by this old bastard once again.
