Upon hearing that voice, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but shudder. The voice was all too familiar.
Qing Shiyu, dressed in a green dress and carrying a long sword on her back, emerged from the crowd, looking like a valiant female swordsman. “Chu Wentian, do your people from the Chu family always act so arrogant wherever you go? Once we enter the trial zone, I, Princess Qing, will accompany you.”
Upon hearing Qing Shiyu’s words, Chu Wentian’s expression changed slightly. He snorted and led his group away. Although Qing Shiyu was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhen Mountain, she had been granted the title of princess. Everyone in the capital knew that Emperor Qing Muyuan doted on the sisters Qing Shihua and Qing Shiyu. It was unnecessary to offend Qing Shiyu.
Shang Hanxue also glanced at Qing Shiyu, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Only then did Qing Shiyu turn to Ye Wushuang, smugly saying, “What do you think? I’ve just helped you out of a tight spot. How are you going to thank me?”
Ye Wushuang was left speechless and walked to a corner, finding a place to sit.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t be so cold!” Qing Shihua laughed, “I’m now at the eighth level of the Ningmai Realm. In this trial, if we team up, we’ll be unstoppable. What do you say?”
Eighth level?
In just ten days, she had broken through again. It had to be said that the Pure Yuan Spirit Body was truly dominant, with no one able to match her progress in cultivation.
“Team up with you? I think I’ll pass!” Ye Wushuang said with a smile, “Although I’m only at the seventh level, even those at the ninth level can’t do anything to me. Teaming up with you would just be dragging me down.”
After spending ten days in the Qingliao Tower, Ye Wushuang had also advanced from the sixth level of the Ningmai Realm to the seventh.
“You’ve reached the seventh level?” Qing Shiyu completely ignored the latter half of Ye Wushuang’s sentence and said excitedly, “That’s great! Then you won’t hold me back.”
…
As they were talking, Qing Shihua approached with a few others.
“Ye Wushuang,” Qing Shihua said with a faint smile, “This Tayan Battle trial is very dangerous. It’s easy to be at a disadvantage if you fight alone. Why don’t we team up?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu immediately complained, “Sister, I was the first to propose an alliance with Ye Wushuang…”
Qing Shihua, however, completely ignored her sister.
Ye Wushuang replied with a smile, “Forget about the alliance. I prefer to fight alone. It’s more convenient.”
Hearing this, Qing Shihua did not insist and continued in a low voice, “Father and Uncle the Emperor have said that if you need anything, we will do our utmost to help.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
At that moment, more figures arrived from outside the valley.
The elders of Qingyun Academy had arrived!
Qing Shihua also looked at the group of elders dressed in their robes.
The leading few had an especially distinct aura, and their presence exuded an undeniable sense of superiority that anyone could feel.
Qing Shihua whispered, “The most powerful elders of the Inner Court!”
“Originally, the ten highest-ranking elders in the Inner Court were Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, Liu Jing, Shang Wanjun, Xiao Shangyu, Zhao Xuanyu, He Wuchen, Sheng Pu, and the other two, Elder Tang Chuyi and Elder Shen Qian.”
These were the top ten elders of the Inner Court, all at the peak of the Yuanfu Realm.
“Elders Tang Chuyi and Shen Qian have both recently broken through to the Tiangang Realm and have been transferred to become elders of the Tian Court.”
Qing Shihua continued, “However, for this Tayan Battle, these two are the overall leaders, with the other eight cooperating with them.”
Eight top Inner Court elders, plus two Tian Court elders. This lineup was more than sufficient.
At this moment, led by the ten elders, dozens of Inner Court elders and mentors arrived at the valley, stood on the high platform, and looked at the crowd.
“Quiet, please!”
Elder Tang Chuyi stepped forward and addressed the disciples.
“This time, the Tayan Battle will be conducted as a trial.”
Elder Tang Chuyi announced directly, “All Inner Court disciples must participate. This is not only an opportunity for you to showcase your talents but also a chance to temper yourselves.”
The crowd listened attentively.
