Upon hearing that voice, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but shudder. It 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 Chu clan people always act so arrogantly wherever you go? Once inside the trial zone, I, the princess, will accompany you,” she declared.
Chu Wentian’s expression changed slightly at Qing Shiyu’s words. He let out a cold hum and led his people away. As the daughter of the Zhen Mountain King and a princess, Qing Shiyu was well-known throughout the capital. The emperor, Qing Muyuan, doted on both her and her sister, Qing Shihua. It was pointless to offend her.
Shang Hanyue also glanced at Qing Shiyu, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Only then did Qing Shiyu turn to Ye Wushuang, smirking triumphantly. “How about that? I got you out of trouble, didn’t I? How are you going to thank me?”
Ye Wushuang was left speechless and simply moved to a corner, finding a spot to sit down.
“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 formidable. Her cultivation progress was unmatched by anyone else.
“Team up with you? I think I’ll pass!” Ye Wushuang joked. “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 to the seventh level of the Ningmai realm.
“You’ve reached the seventh level?” Ignoring the latter half of Ye Wushuang’s sentence, Qing Shiyu exclaimed joyfully, “That’s great! Now you won’t hold me back.”
…
As they were talking, Qing Shihua approached with a few others.
“Ye Wushuang,” she said with a faint smile. “This Tayan Battle trial is very dangerous. It would be easy for you to get into trouble if you go it alone. Why don’t we team up?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu immediately complained, “Sister, I was the one who wanted to form an alliance with Ye Wushuang first…”
Qing Shihua, however, completely ignored her younger sister.
Ye Wushuang laughed and said, “Forget about forming an alliance. I prefer to fight alone. It’s more convenient.”
Hearing this, Qing Shihua didn’t insist. Instead, she whispered, “Father and Uncle the Emperor said that if you need anything, we’ll do our best 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 warriors dressed in the attire of the elders.
The leading few had an exceptionally different aura, and their presence side by side exuded an oppressive power that anyone could sense.
Qing Shihua murmured, “The highest-ranking 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 two others, Elder Tang Chuyi and Elder Shen Qian.”
These were the ten Inner Court elders, all at the peak of the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm.
“Elders Tang Chuyi and Shen Qian both recently broke through to the Tiangang realm and have been reassigned as elders of the Tian Court,” Qing Shihua continued. “However, for this Tayan Battle, these two are the overall coordinators, with the other eight assisting 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 down, everyone!” Tang Chuyi stepped forward and addressed the disciples.
“This Tayan Battle will be conducted as a trial,” he 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.
