Chapter 690: Wanted!
“The Saint Martial Assembly is one of the grandest events in the Central Region, attracting all major forces, including independent cultivators. Everyone desires to be part of this event, even if they can’t secure a top spot. It’s an opportunity for growth. While there are age restrictions for participating, in previous years, the number of participants has ranged from three to five million,” Xi Wuqing told Su Yi.
“Three to five million participants…” Su Yi gasped.
The fact that the younger generation alone amounted to millions of participants in the Saint Martial Assembly was astonishing.
After thinking it over, Su Yi realized that despite the age limitations, the Central Region was vast. Since the event was meant for the entire region, it made sense that there would be such a large number of participants.
Su Yi couldn’t help but be amazed at the sheer scale of the event. With millions involved, it would be an enormous undertaking for the city to manage.
“Everyone entering the city must follow the rules and go through qualification checks and registration if they wish to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. The official start of the assembly will be in three days, and registration will close ahead of time. Without passing the qualification check and completing the registration, you will not be able to take part in the event!”
The powerful figures clad in armor spoke loudly, their voices easily carrying to the crowded people outside the city.
“Do we need to register and go through the qualification check first?” Su Yi asked Xi Wuqing, still unclear about the process, as this was his first time attending the Saint Martial Assembly.
“Of course, we must register and pass the qualification check first, or else we won’t be allowed to participate,” Xi Wuqing nodded, explaining.
“Hmph…”
Suddenly, from the distant depths of the grand Central Region city, a streak of light shot through the sky like lightning, and a strong aura immediately filled the air.
The people present were startled by the overwhelming pressure, their internal energies disturbed by the force.
An elderly man in his fifties appeared, having rushed out from the Central Region city. He hovered in the air, his eyes gleaming with intensity as he looked down at the people below. His gaze was sharp, as though piercing through everything.
Upon seeing the elderly man, all the armored warriors present immediately bowed in respect, their eyes full of reverence.
“Listen, everyone! The city of Central Region is looking for three individuals. One is a young man, around eighteen or nineteen years old, named Yi Su from the Overlord Sect. Then there is the Demon Emperor and the Yuan Emperor. Anyone who spots them must report to the city guards. There will be a generous reward for those who help, but anyone hiding them will face serious consequences!”
The voice rang out powerfully, like thunder, filling the air. The old man was clearly a formidable Yuan Emperor Realm expert, not someone ordinary.
“A wanted Yuan Emperor and the Demon Emperor!”
“Yi Su from the Overlord Sect?”
The announcement bewildered the crowd. How could a Yuan Emperor and the Demon Emperor be on the wanted list? What had happened?
“Boss, are they looking for you?” Su Xiaoshuai asked weakly, poking his head out from Su Yi’s arms.
“Of course it’s me,” Su Yi’s face immediately darkened. It was clear that the incident with Ouyang Mingjie had led to this. He had only used the name of the Overlord Sect once.
Being wanted by Central Region city meant Su Yi needed to uncover the connection between Ouyang Mingjie and the city.
“Swoosh, swoosh…”
A group of armored warriors swiftly searched the crowd, their eyes as sharp as lightning. Hu Bu, walking with disciplined steps, appeared highly trained. Each of them was strong and capable.
“Hurry, let’s leave this place,” Xi Wuqing said to Su Yi. His voice reached Su Yi’s ears, but Xi Wuqing had already vanished from sight.
“Let’s go,” Su Yi murmured, keeping his head down as he walked through the crowd.
They were searching for three individuals: a young boy, a powerful Yuan Emperor Realm warrior, and a formidable Demonic Emperor Realm warrior. With tens of thousands of people just outside the city gates, finding Su Yi and the others was no simple task. It felt like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially with more and more people arriving at Central Region city.
Still, Su Yi knew he couldn’t afford to take chances. He and Xi Wuqing, accompanied by the Green Emperor, immediately hid in a corner near the city wall, where no one was around, ensuring they remained undetected.
“This is problematic,” Su Yi muttered, feeling a sense of worry.
Finding out that he was being hunted by the authorities of Central Region unsettled Su Yi. The real issue was that the Saint Martial Assembly was taking place right there. How could he participate now?
“It’s your own fault!” Xi Wuqing chided Su Yi.
“But you were involved too,” Su Yi retorted.
“Fine, next time I won’t get involved,” Xi Wuqing replied calmly, casting a glance at Su Yi.
“Please, brother, it was my mistake. But that Ouyang Mingjie was too arrogant and pushed things too far,” Su Yi pleaded.
Su Yi took a deep breath and looked at Xi Wuqing. “What should we do now? With this situation, it seems like we can’t participate in the Saint Martial Assembly.”
“I just realized that the ruler of Central Region city is Ouyang Yuanfeng. Given Ouyang Mingjie’s age, he’s probably Ouyang Yuanfeng’s son or grandson. The city falls under the jurisdiction of Sacred Mountain, and for Ouyang Yuanfeng to be in charge of the Central Region city, he must hold a special status there. That’s why you’re wanted by the city for injuring Ouyang Mingjie.”
When Xi Wuqing mentioned Ouyang Yuanfeng, his expression shifted, revealing a trace of fear. Being the ruler of the most powerful city in the region, Ouyang Yuanfeng’s strength was unquestionable.
“It’s alright. I can just change my appearance and continue participating in the Saint Martial Assembly.”
After thinking for a moment, Su Yi’s expression softened. With his ability to disguise himself, he was confident that he could participate in the Saint Martial Assembly without drawing attention from the authorities in Central Region city.
“Do you really think it’s that simple? When you made your move earlier, it was definitely noticed by powerful figures in the area. Even the smallest clue could lead to you being recognized, which would make the situation even worse.”
Xi Wuqing shook his head. Changing appearance wasn’t a huge issue for him. However, when Su Yi attacked Ouyang Mingjie, strong figures from the Yuan Void Realm and Yuan Emperor Realm were present. They likely saw through Su Yi’s actions, and if they picked up on even the smallest detail, they could expose his identity, making the trouble far greater.
“What should we do then? Are we going to skip the Saint Martial Assembly?” Su Yi frowned. Originally, he hadn’t planned on attending the Saint Martial Assembly. He had only agreed because of Xi Wuqing’s request. But now that they were so close to the event, he couldn’t ignore the draw of the grand competition, where the most talented individuals gathered. As a young person full of energy, the desire to compete surged within him.
“If you want to quit, there’s no issue. If you don’t want to participate, I won’t be a part of your so-called Overlord Sect either,” Xi Wuqing said calmly.
