"You wretched child! I will make you pay with your life for Ling'er!"

The Holy Lord of Cangming roared and flashed to the vicinity of the Seven Absolutes Tower, intending to forcefully break through the entrance and enter.

"No."

"Fellow Daoist, calm down."

Several figures blocked the way for the Holy Lord of Cangming; they were none other than the Holy Lords, including Chi Tianhao.

Their imperial princes and princesses are still in the Seven Absolutes Tower; how can they allow the Holy Lord of Cangming to act recklessly?

"You think you're asking for death!"

A tremendous pressure, comparable to a towering mountain, suddenly descended from the sky, forcing the Holy Lord of the Azure Sea to prostrate himself on the ground.

The Holy Lords were shocked to see this and all looked at You Rong Xuanqing, the only eighth-order Reincarnation Realm being in the arena.

At that moment, a huge illusory image of Rong Xuanqing appeared in the sky above Bibo Lake. This image opened its eyes, and the eye sockets, which had no whites or pupils, were filled with chaos and darkness, permeated with death energy. It looked down on Cangming Saint Lord and Chi Tianhao and others with a god-like disdain for all living beings. The profound and heavy pressure of the Reincarnation Realm made all the Saint Lords almost suffocate.

"Senior Yourong, please don't be angry. This junior would not dare to do it again!"

The Holy Lord of Cangming was caught off guard by Rong Xuanqing's sudden attack and was filled with fear. He cried out in panic.

He was only at the sixth level of Saint, two levels lower than You Rong Xuanqing. He had no power to fight back against You Rong Xuanqing, so how could he dare to contend with him?

With his ethereal blue form looking down at the assembled holy lords, You Rong said coldly, “Those who harbor malicious intentions will only bring harm upon themselves. Since you have entered this game, you must abide by the rules. If you try to force your way in, don’t blame me for not giving you any face.”

The holy lords were alarmed upon hearing this. These words were a warning and a threat to them, implying that if their imperial sons and daughters were to suffer the same fate as Li Cangling, then death was no big deal. If they were to make trouble for Chi Yuan, Rong Xuanqing would definitely step in to stop them.

This means one thing: You Rong Xuanqing... or rather the entire You Rong clan, are on Chi Yuan's side!

Realizing this, the Holy Lords felt a heavy weight in their hearts. In fact, they should have thought of this long ago. Why did You Rong Xuanqing declare that whoever recruited Ye Chen would be the mortal enemy of the You Rong Clan? Why did they stand against Ye Chen even though they knew he possessed the Divine Sun Body? Why were You Rong Qingyan and You Rong Qingxian so close to Chi Yuan? All of this indicated that the You Rong Clan had chosen to support Chi Yuan, Ye Chen's mortal enemy.

No wonder Chi Yuan dared to kill Li Cangling without any scruples; it turns out that the Rong family was backing him up.

Even the Holy Lord of Cangming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The Cangming Holy Land was a whole level below the You Rong Clan. If the You Rong Clan stood on Chi Yuan's side, how could the Cangming Holy Land protect Ye Chen?

...

Outside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.

Seeing the situation reverse in an instant, with Li Cangling dying tragically at Chi Yuan's hands, Rong Qingxian and the other four were completely stunned, unable to believe their eyes. They had personally experienced the power of the explosion just now; without a Venerable-level cultivation, it was impossible to dodge it. Yet Chi Yuan had actually dodged it?! How fast was that?!

You Rongqingxian controlled the flower basket to fly to Chi Yuan's front and flew out with the five people. She carefully examined Chi Yuan and saw that he was completely unharmed and his breathing was not disordered at all. She was even more shocked. What kind of opportunities had her former disciple experienced in the past few years that made him grow to be stronger than her!

Xu Jingyuan and his group of five had mixed feelings. Their cultivation levels were not much different from Chi Yuan's, but their combat strength was worlds apart. They were afraid that even if they spent their entire lives, they would never be able to catch up with him.

Seemingly afraid of causing Chi Yuan any more trouble, the five of them expressed their sincere gratitude to Chi Yuan and then took their leave.

After the five people left, Chi Yuan descended to Li Cangling's corpse, put his Qiankun bag into his pocket, and then activated the Nine Netherworld Fire, burning Li Cangling's headless corpse into nothingness, leaving only a piece of spirit armor and a pair of boots in place.

Chi Yuan didn't mind the bad luck and took both items into his possession.

The sight of this scene made the Holy Lord of Cangming grit his teeth. He could only console himself that Li Cangling's death was not in vain, as it at least gave the Cangming Holy Land a bargaining chip in winning over Ye Chen.

"Young master, so you've been here! Little Yan has finally found you!"

At this moment, a man and a woman came rushing from a distance. As soon as the woman saw Chi Yuan, she showed joy and sped up to fly towards him.

It was Liu Ruyan, who used the alias Liu Yan.

The man accompanying Liu Ruyan was Ji Tianming, the imperial prince of the Heaven-Mending Holy Land.

Upon seeing Ji Tianming appear, the Heaven-Mending Saint Lord outside the Seven Absolutes Tower immediately tensed up, secretly praying that Ji Tianming wouldn't risk his life against Chi Yuan, lest he follow in Li Cangling's footsteps.

Chi Yuan glanced at Liu Ruyan, then looked at Ji Tianming, who made no attempt to hide his hostility. He frowned slightly. He knew without guessing that this guy was also here to cause him trouble.

These arrogant geniuses from the holy land are truly annoying.

"Young master, please help me! This man insists on taking me as his imperial concubine."

Liu Ruyan hid behind Chi Yuan and spoke weakly and helplessly.

"Miss Liu Yan, why would you rather be his maid than my imperial concubine? What is it about me that makes me unworthy of you?"

Ji Tianming was puzzled. He was the imperial son of the Holy Land of Mending Heaven. He wanted to take a woman who was a maid as his concubine, but Liu Ruyan refused. He didn't understand what Liu Ruyan was thinking. Was being his concubine worse than being Chi Yuan's maid?

Willow smoke?

Is this woman the one who ranked third in the first trial, second only to Ye Chen?

She was actually Chi Yuan's maid?

A chorus of astonishment erupted outside the Seven Absolutes Tower. No one had expected that such a gifted and exceptionally talented young woman was actually one of Chi Yuan's maids. Was it really that absurd?

"you……"

Just as Liu Ruyan was about to respond, she suddenly noticed three people flying in from another direction: Rong Qingyan and Ning Wan'er, and Feng Ge, the imperial prince of the Tianfeng clan.

"Young master."

"Senior brother."

Rong Qingyan and Ning Wan'er landed beside Chi Yuan. Before they could say anything, Feng Ge, who was behind them, shouted loudly, "Chi Yuan, I've finally found you! Come and fight me! Let me see what you're made of!"

“Young master, it was he who insisted on asking for a beating, not Wan’er and me who caused you trouble.”

You Rongqingyan explained something to Chi Yuan.

"It's hard to say who will get hit."

Feng Ge snorted coldly and challenged Chi Yuan again, saying, "Chi Yuan, if you're a man, fight me and let me see what makes you worthy of my clan's goddess's devotion to you!"

goddess?

Wasn't Yunmeng the princess of the emperor? How did she become a goddess?

The holy lords looked at Feng Huai in shock. Although there was only one word difference between Goddess and Empress, they were worlds apart and completely different concepts. Once the word "god" was mentioned, it meant that one had the potential to become a god. This meant either having a divine bloodline or physique, or having a true god-level bloodline or god-level physique.

But in either case, it would be enough to bring a top power tens of thousands of years of glory, and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan actually has such a talented genius.

etc!

If Yunmeng is truly a goddess of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, then why is she behind Liu Yan and Ning Wan'er on the first level of the trial rankings? Could it be that these two women have higher aptitude than Yunmeng, who is a goddess?

This speculation startled everyone.

What kind of monsters are surrounding Chi Yuan?!
