When Murong Gong returned home, he was extremely agitated. How could he, the young lord of Lieyang City, do such a thing in front of so many people?

Cough cough, although it hasn't come to the final stage, he has already lost all face. The key is that his father is afraid of the other party's status as a fourth-level alchemist and is unwilling to stand up for him. He was pacing around anxiously in his room.

Just then, Shadow One knocked on the door and came in. He was the male cultivator who had been hit by the tendon-pulling talisman earlier. As for Shadow Two, who had been intimate with him, he was killed by Murong Gong. Even though Shadow Two had been his bodyguard for many years, after what had happened, how could a normal man like him allow such a stain to live?

"Young Master, we couldn't find anything. These people should be from other continents. We only learned from the staff at Zuixianju that they are going to participate in the Sword Dao Competition!"

"You guys are really useless. Since they came from other continents, then send people to investigate those continents. Never mind, no matter where they came from, go and hand over their portraits to the Shadow Pavilion. Keep the two women and cripple their cultivation. As for the male cultivator, just kill him!"

Yingyi hesitated, "Young Master, the people of the Shadow Pavilion never leave anyone alive!"

Murong Gong's mind flashed back to Ouyang Yanyu's aloof and stunning face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Take my mermaid pearl. Remember, the woman must be alive!"

Yingyi was helpless. He thought that his young master would restrain himself after kicking a hornet's nest this time, but he was willing to give away even the priceless mermaid pearl for a woman. That was a birthday gift that his wife had given him when she was alive. But what could he do? This was his master.

After Jianying left, Murong Gong angrily kicked over the tables and chairs. A trace of resentment and drooling flashed in his ugly triangular eyes. He stuck out his bright red tongue and licked his lips, looking disgusting and sinister.

After a hurried journey, the three of them finally arrived outside Wanjian City just before sunset on the afternoon of the second day. They put away their flying boats and used their light footwork to rush into the city, their figures almost turning into afterimages.

Ouyang Yanyu was the fastest; after all, she was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, much stronger than the two Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, she didn't know where the registration location was, so she grabbed a young man to the side and dragged him forward, asking as she ran, "Where do I register for the Sword Dao Competition?"

The captured youth was still stunned, not knowing what had happened. He was about to get angry, but when he realized that the person who had captured him was a stunning beauty, he was momentarily stunned. Ouyang Yanyu also felt that this was not a good thing, so she handed the other party a bottle of pills and asked, "This is your reward. Tell me where to register for the Sword Dao Competition?"

The young man instinctively took the pill from the hand and pointed to an intersection, saying, "Just go in from here!"

Ouyang Yanyu tossed the young man aside and disappeared into the bustling crowd in a flash.

Bai Luochen and Ye Sisi were almost out of breath but still couldn't catch up with Ouyang Yanyu, so they were about to stop and ask for directions when, by sheer coincidence, the young man who had just been abandoned by Ouyang Yanyu walked right up to them. Ye Sisi handed him two spirit stones and anxiously asked, "Where do I register for the Sword Dao Competition?"

The young man thought he must be seeing a ghost today, as everyone was asking him for directions to the Sword Dao Competition registration office. But after looking at the spirit stones in his hand, he still said, "It's at the intersection to the left from here!"

The two used the Clear Body Step again, transforming into a gentle breeze and disappearing into the crowd.

Ye Sisi and her companion arrived at a huge square, panting. There they saw their second senior sister frowning and arguing with a middle-aged man, surrounded by a crowd of people.

"I already told you, my junior brothers and sisters are all sword cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators. You can just register directly, and I won't shortchange you on a single spirit stone!"

"Rules are rules; registration must be done in person!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi and her companion quickly pushed through the crowd and shouted, "We're here!"

Upon seeing this, Ouyang Yanyu quickly said, "Can we register now?"

The middle-aged man curled his lips in a wicked smile: "You're too late, the sun has already set! Besides, pretty boys like you should just go back home and stop embarrassing yourselves!"

Ye Sisi pulled back Ouyang Yanyu and Bai Luochen, who were both quite angry. She realized that this person was doing it on purpose.

"Uncle, do you have a Daoist partner?"

The middle-aged man's smile faltered, and he looked at Ye Sisi with some confusion. What kind of question was this? How did the topic suddenly veer off course? Besides, what business is it of theirs whether he has a Daoist partner or not?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Sisi said to herself, "Sure enough, someone like you will never be able to find a wife in your entire life!"

The man immediately got angry and drew his sword to strike. Ye Sisi shrank back and said, "Uncle, you're not good-looking to begin with, and at your age you're only at the Golden Core stage. Plus, you have such a bad temper. If you don't change, no older sister will like you!"

"Shut up, you brat! What does it have to do with you whether I find a Daoist partner or not!" Actually, what angered him the most was the comment that he was not good-looking to begin with. His appearance had always been a scar in his heart. Cultivators are different from ordinary people. They are constantly exposed to spiritual energy, so most people are not too bad-looking. He belonged to the bottom tier of good-looking cultivators.

He used to like a junior sister from the outer sect, but she disliked and humiliated him in various ways. So now he hates any pretty female cultivators. Normally, you don't need to be present to register, but the female cultivators he invited were so beautiful that he just couldn't stand them.

But this girl in front of him is not only beautiful, she also dares to stab him in the heart. If he doesn't kill her, he's not Gu Chen.

Seeing that he was really about to draw his sword and kill someone, Ye Sisi quickly shouted, "The seniors of the Heavenly Sword Sect are bullying people!"

Gu Chen immediately decided to kill her, but Ye Sisi said directly, "Uncle, do you dare to go to the life-or-death arena with me? If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. If I win, you can register us!"

Everyone thought Ye Sisi had gone mad. Her opponent was a Golden Core cultivator, and a swordsman from the Heavenly Sword Sect at that. How could a naive young girl like her challenge him? And in a life-or-death arena no less, she was truly courting death.

Ouyang Yanyu was about to stop her, but Bai Luochen stopped her, saying, "Second Senior Sister, don't worry, Junior Sister will be fine!"

Gu Chen, still on the verge of exploding, sneered: "Fine, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

After Gu Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the arena on the other side of the square. Private duels between cultivators were not allowed in Wanjian City, so he had only put on a show of force and did not dare to kill anyone. But now, that girl wanted to go to the life-or-death arena with him. Hehe, that suited him just the way he wanted.
