On the arena.
Yue Chen's body lay silently, devoid of any life.
At this moment, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with terror.
One can only imagine the immense mental pressure this person endured before his death.
Ye Tian held a sword that was still dripping with blood, his face utterly indifferent.
The entire audience was shocked.
This is not like the previous two empty battles.
Now is the real decisive battle, one that has resulted in deaths.
Is it possible for Yuechen to risk his life to fix a match?
Absolutely impossible!
Yue Chen is the sect leader of the Moon Worship Cult.
Even the Imperial Pavilion would never order Yue Chen to risk his life to fix a match.
The powerful figure behind Yue Chen is a truly extraordinary genius.
Even the Imperial Palace was wary of this person.
Now Yuechen has died silently, at the hands of an unknown outsider.
Wuchen Daoren.
A mere fourth-level Cloud Realm cultivator was actually able to defeat and kill Yue Chen, who was at the peak of the Cloud Realm.
How is that possible?
Ye Tian sneered; the shock of this group of people was exactly what he had expected.
Is it true that someone at the fourth level of the Cloud Realm cannot defeat someone at the ninth level of the Cloud Realm?
This is just a prejudice of the world. Ye Tian proved with his strength that as long as one's combat experience is large enough, even someone at the fourth level of the Cloud Realm has the strength to defeat and kill someone at the ninth level.
Within the Nine Emperors Universe.
"Your Majesty, a mere fourth-level Cloud Realm cultivator has slain Yue Chen, a ninth-level Cloud Realm cultivator," someone respectfully reported.
The handsome man with a face like jade opened his eyes lazily, a smile playing on his lips. "Murder? Murder beyond one's cultivation level? What a joke. Even if someone could truly transcend five levels, they would never appear in a remote place like the Cloud Mist Mountains."
"It's just using some strange methods to hide its true level."
The handsome man commented so calmly.
"Your Majesty sees things clearly, so what about us?" the messenger asked respectfully.
The handsome man narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of amusement, "Do I really have to teach you this simple principle?"
"Since he has a way to make money for us, let him keep fighting. Just when we think he's about to win, we'll send someone to cripple him."
"Understood, Your Excellency."
The visitor retreated in fear and trepidation, not daring to utter a sound.
Ye Tian stepped down from the arena, and the person who had just been provoking him didn't dare to say a word.
A skilled person can receive special treatment no matter where they are.
His ability to kill Yue Chen, who was at the ninth level of the Cloud Realm, with a single sword strike has proven his strength, and now he deserves the treatment of a sect leader.
The once arrogant and unruly Daoist of Life-Stripping now swallowed hard.
Recalling the arena match just now, the Life-Stripping Daoist felt a deep sense of lingering fear. He had thought that surrendering was a favor he had done for the Dust-Free Daoist.
But now he realizes that perhaps surrendering was the one thing that saved his life.
Yue Chen's strength must be above his.
Even Yue Chen died at the hands of Wu Chen Dao Ren in just one round of combat.
How did he manage to stay alive?
Ye Tian remained calm and composed, unmoved by any external influences, just as if he were sitting on a fishing platform.
"Nine Emperors, someone asked me to bring you a message." At this moment, Li Zhan suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tian again, with a smile on his face.
Ye Tian intended to maintain his aloof demeanor to the extreme, aiming to establish Wuchen Daoren as someone unfathomable and ruthless in killing. Therefore, he simply uttered a single word: "Speak."
Li Zhan grinned and teased, "At your age, you still have quite the temper."
"My master told you to be careful and not to die in a place where you shouldn't die. Some people will challenge you later, so don't accept the challenges recklessly," Li Zhan said.
Ye Tian simply pretended not to care.
It's not that they truly don't care; the Royal Pavilion, which Li Zhan represents, is the semi-official force behind this recruitment competition.
Every word he says may contain valuable information.
Ye Tian tapped the table quietly. Li Zhan's words meant that Huangyu Pavilion didn't want him to lose for the time being. Therefore, they wanted him to avoid challenges from people from forces they couldn't control.
So, if that's the case...
What kind of forces, beyond the control of the Imperial Pavilion and harboring grudges against him, are planning to challenge him?
It's nothing more than the Moon Worship Cult.
This group of people is really boring; they don't even dare to challenge others openly and honestly.
"Do they have the realm of immortals?" Ye Tian asked, only concerned with this one question.
"No."
"Below the level of immortals, all are mere ants," Ye Tian said indifferently.
This creates an extremely arrogant image for Wuchen Daoren.
These words made Li Zhan chuckle, and he said, "You have quite the nerve. Since they dare to provoke you, their strength must be considerable. If you're not very confident, you'd better not die too soon."
"His Majesty asked me to remind you, also for your own good."
Li Zhan commented so indifferently, and then said nothing more.
Ye Tian remained calm, without any extra expression, and simply said, "You don't need to worry about that for me."
That's not exactly bragging.
With the ability to fight against a hundred people five levels above him, as long as they are not immortals, even those at the ninth level of the Cloud Realm are not considered to be superior.
They are nothing but ants in his presence.
If there aren't more than a hundred, they're not worth even a second thought.
As for more than a hundred? That's simply impossible.
Li Zhan left with a playful smile.
But everyone here has some level of cultivation; everyone here is sharp-witted and perceptive.
Ye Tian and Li Zhan's conversation had already been heard by everyone.
Everyone was talking about it.
"This Daoist Wuchen is truly arrogant! Below the immortals, all are mere ants?"
"So, does he completely disregard everyone below the level of immortals? Does he really have that much confidence?"
"Tsk tsk, just watch, the Moon Worship Cult won't let him off so easily. Let's see how he handles things later."
These people held differing opinions; some believed that Ye Tian could overcome this crisis.
Some people don't believe it.
Despite their chatter, Ye Tian remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
"I want to challenge you. Will you accept?"
Just then, someone walked over.
"Holy crap, it's him! The bigwigs of the Moon Worship Cult have even brought out this guy."
As soon as one person appeared, everyone in the room gasped in shock.
It was as if they had seen some kind of monster.
Ye Tian looked up at the person.
not simple.
This was Ye Tian's first thought upon seeing this person: this person must be difficult to deal with.
"With him around, dealing with Wuchen Daoist should be a piece of cake."
"The power and influence of the Moon Worship Cult are terrifying."
