Night falls.
The streets of the imperial capital were becoming increasingly bustling, brightly lit. Yaoguang and Qiongtian's geniuses left the embassy one after another, strolling around the imperial capital, shopping, eating and drinking...
At this time, undercurrents were surging in Shouyun's Yuchi family.
Hidden in a secret room deep inside the Yuchi family's home, there was a woman with black lines all over her body. She was lying on the stone bed, her whole body twitching. She screamed in extreme pain, her voice hoarse like the harsh sound of sandpaper rubbing against the ground.
“Ah…ah…”
"Grandfather...save...save Wan'er...it hurts so much..."
She struggled to get up from the stone bed, but was suppressed by an invisible force. Again and again, she screamed in pain.
The screams sounded like the evil spirits from hell demanding lives.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the secret room opened automatically.
Several hazy shadows appeared in the secret room. They walked towards Yuchi Wan lying on the stone bed, looking down at her struggling appearance with indifference.
Yuchi Wan's vision was already blurred, but she could vaguely see several shadows, which made her feel an inexplicable chill. However, she thought it was the Grand Ancestor who loved her and came, and she immediately cried out pitifully:
"Ancestor...Ancestor! Save me!"
No matter how much she asked for help and how hysterically she shouted, she still got no response.
The shadows looked at each other, and then one of them leaned forward slightly, raised a misty hand, and placed it on Yuchi Wan's forehead.
In an instant, Yuchi Wan's screams stopped abruptly.
Her whole body trembled, her eyes widened, completely without any luster.
At this moment, an extremely powerful force surged out of the phantom hand and forcefully injected into her forehead, and then poured into her body.
The black lines on Yuchi Wan's skin gradually faded away, returning to her previous appearance, and then her eyelids drooped and closed little by little.
A thumb-sized black and purple skull pattern mark appeared on Yuchi Wan's forehead, emitting wisps of black light.
Soon, the mark disappeared.
The entire secret room was filled with an eerie silence and gloom.
The shadows seemed to have accomplished something and then went out of the secret room.
With a bang, the door of the secret room was closed.
Outside the secret room, a young man was hiding behind a rockery, holding his breath, his face pale and frightened.
His heartbeat was like a drum, and his five senses became extremely clear.
After he could no longer see the shadows, his legs went weak and he leaned against the rockery. His body slid down little by little, as if he had been fished out of the water, and cold sweat kept pouring out of his body.
Wan'er...what happened to her?!
Yuchi Bai forced himself to suppress his fear and looked towards the secret room again.
This sight almost made him lose his mind.
The person who suddenly appeared in front of him was none other than the Great Ancestor Yuchi!
"Bai Er, what are you looking at?"
When Yuchi heard his sinister and amusing voice, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He stammered in response, "Grand...Grand Ancestor...I...I didn't see anything."
Yuchi Taishang Laozu said: "It's late at night, it's time to go back and practice."
"Yes, I'll go back now!"
Yuchi Bai quickly agreed, and without even saluting, he hurried away from the rockery. He ran until his legs gave out and he nearly fell to the ground.
The Great Ancestor Yuchi narrowed his eyes and looked at his departing back, with a few faint lights flashing in his eyes, seeming indifferent and dangerous.
…
Yuchi Bai returned to the attic, his face pale and his mood still restless. It seemed as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He murmured in a low voice.
"Wan'er..."
He couldn't understand why the Supreme Elder, who had always doted on Wan'er, had locked her up in a secret room in a forbidden area. Wan'er also had strange black lines on her body, and her shrill voice seemed to still linger in his ears.
What is going on?
And what are those several blurry shadows that are so blurry that their figures cannot be seen clearly?
Should he tell grandpa?
No, you can't tell grandpa!
Even if I told Grandpa, what would happen? Grandpa couldn't resist the Grand Ancestor, and he always followed his lead. No matter how talented Wan'er was, Grandpa wouldn't break up with the Grand Ancestor just to protect her.
Even if it were him, it would be the same.
Yuchi Bai felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly thought of the affairs of the Supreme Ancestors and the Nine Gates of the Primordial World, and his face changed in shock.
What on earth is this for?!
…
Time flies and two days have passed.
In the evening, at Lantianxiang Restaurant.
In the top and most luxurious box on the seventh floor, there were more than twenty young geniuses.
They came from the three continents: Yaoguang's Fan Yu'er, Yuwen Zhou, Yin Jinse, Yin Nianhua, You Fuyue, and Murong Heng. Shouyun's Feng Yuanxiao, Feng Yuanming, and Gong Liyuan. Qiongtian's Fengyun team of eight, Si Kouyuan, Sima Xun, Seng Buhui, and Bai Yuning.
There was a subtle atmosphere.
Fan Yu'er took in the expressions of the people present, then slowly stood up, holding a glass of wine in her hand and toasting them, smiling and saying:
"I'm glad you can come to the banquet. Tonight is not an assessment or a competition. Let's just treat it as an ordinary gathering and exchange."
"I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"
After Fan Yuer said this, she drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Wenzhou, standing by, said with a bright smile, "It's not easy for people from our three continents to meet each other. We don't know if we'll have the chance to see each other again after we return, so let's put aside our differences from the competition for now and have a good exchange. This is also worthy of the name of the exchange meeting."
