Chapter 202 Lyu Wutian Arrives [Fifth Update]
"Enough talk, let's enter the city and rest," Su Yie spoke up, breaking the eerie silence.
After saying this, he led Xiao Pao into the city by flying, and Ling Sang also departed with her disciples.
Once they had left, Ren Wolang muttered, "Why would the master choose a group of nuns? Was it a misjudgment in taste?"
Tang Qingtian whispered beside him, "She is a disciple of the Malevolent Matriarch of Baili."
Malevolent Matriarch of Baili!
Ren Wolang's expression drastically changed. Although he had only recently emerged into the world, he had heard of the Malevolent Matriarch of Baili.
An existence even Li Huahun dared not battle!
"I take back what I just said."
Ren Wolang chuckled, prompting Tang Qingtian to shake his head and smile.
Han Yuandao stroked his chin, deep in thought.
What exactly is the origin of Emperor Su's Sect?
What is the relationship between Su Yie and Emperor Su?
Is it merely a coincidence that they share a surname?
At that moment, he developed a deep interest in Emperor Su's Sect, yet he felt it was not his place to ask more questions.
Both Tang Qingtian and Ren Wolang were not easy to deal with and had powerful backgrounds. He did not want to stir up trouble.
Not just him, Noble Prince Shangxie was also pondering this matter.
"Could the destruction of the Divine Physique Hall have something to do with Emperor Su's Sect?"
Noble Prince Shangxie inwardly felt alarmed. Were there such giants hidden in this world?
...
Over the next few days, more and more competitors gathered towards Xiwan City.
Due to Su Yie and Xiao Pao, Xiwan City became the most attention-grabbing place of this Three Dynasties' Saint Competition.
Even the capitals of Great Zhou and Great Xia had switched the competition's screen images to Xiwan City.
Combined, the population from these three capitals totaled at least five million.
Su Yie was still unaware of this fact. He was focused on growing stronger and was ready to take on all the competitors who would come attacking.
Not that he was bloodthirsty, but simply a matter of stance.
"We're approaching Xiwan City. Such a crowd,"
Prince Bi Jie murmured, looking towards Xiwan City on the horizon. By "crowd", he was referring not to the people of Xiwan City but to the competitors around it. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
All were lurking, some hidden in mountains, others behind huge rocks, cultivating.
There were at least three hundred competitors. If their followers were included, the number reached over seven hundred.
Seven hundred practitioners of the Astral Projection Realm could destroy an empire, not to mention the many among them who were in the Realm of Taoist Fruition.
Zhao Yuxuan suppressed his excitement, saying, "This is the fame of the Bailing Demon Lord."
Being surpassed by the Bailing Demon Lord did not breed hatred in him.
On the contrary, having such a rival in his generation excited him.
Now, the opportunity had arrived!
"Once more people gather, we'll take the lead,"
Prince Bi Jie smirked. He could tell that the competitors were waiting for a formidable figure to appear,
Someone who dared to face the fierce reputation of the Bailing Demon Lord!
He wanted to be that figure!
Zhao Yuxuan understood his thoughts and nodded with a smile.
Thus, they walked into the competition's screen in Xianyang City, causing an uproar.
The battle among princes was about to begin!
The Holy Dynasty of Great Qin had many crown princes; even had plenty who never lived to ascend the throne, rendering the battle for crown prince full of drama and horror.
Rumors even said that becoming the Crown Prince was like stepping one foot into a coffin.
The danger came not only from other princes but from the current emperor himself.
Nevertheless, the princes coveted the position of Crown Prince,
For the Crown Prince could command the million-strong army of Xianyang.
"Noble Prince Shangxie and Prince Bi Jie, who will win?"
"It's not about winning or losing, but about life and death."
"In the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition, only one of the princes will come out alive."
"Bi Jie has Zhao Yuxuan, and Noble Prince Shangxie has the Bailing Demon Lord, but the Bailing Demon Lord's hatred is too great."
"I bet on Prince Bi Jie, the Bailing Demon Lord is bound to die!"
Various discussions echoed within Xianyang City, with most people believing that the Bailing Demon Lord was doomed.
Who would have thought the Bailing Demon Lord would be involved with the Sacred Body of Qiling and keep it by his side all the time?
More and more contestants gathered outside Xiwan City, and half of the Bailing Demon Lord's body had almost sunk into the yellow earth.
Meanwhile.
At the edge of Bailing Territory, a figure was slowly walking toward it.
His hair was completely white, casually draped behind him, wearing a silver-white long robe, tall and straight, with purple pupils in his eyes, eerily bizarre.
"The aura of the King's body..."
The white-haired man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with coldness.
He was none other than the Zi Wei Star Body, Sovereign of the Nether Sky!
Emperor of Constitution!
In the Eastern Lands, his physical strength was among the top three!
He walked toward the Bailing Territory, his presence as if he were the void itself.
Ahead, dozens of Qin soldiers stood guard to prevent anyone from disrupting the Three Dynasties' Saint Competition or any contestant from fleeing the trial grounds.
However, eerily, they did not notice the arrival of the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
The Sovereign of the Nether Sky walked right past them, quietly, while they were still discussing who would win the current Three Dynasties' Saint Competition.
Just like that, the Sovereign continued toward the Bailing Territory.
His purpose for this journey was to execute the Bailing Demon Lord!
Not just to kill, but to do so in front of the Three Great Holy Dynasties, to show everyone what fate awaits those who offend him.
...
Inside Emperor Su's Sect.
Empress of the Great Zhou: I have received definite news that the Sovereign of the Nether Sky has already headed to the Bailing Territory.
Demon Wolf Star: Tsk tsk, the Demon Lord is in trouble, really want to go back and see, which big shot can make the Heaven Stealer Sect call off the manhunt on me? I'm so tired from running every day.
Murong Invincible: The Sovereign of the Nether Sky, huh? I really want to fight him.
Divine Ghost Lü Wutian: Give it up, you still think you're invincible? If you dared challenge him, you wouldn't be talking nonsense. Learn from me; I'm almost at the Bailing Territory.
Tang Qingtian: Great Lord, are you coming to support us?
The conversations between the Empress of the Great Zhou and Lü Wutian shook Emperor Su's Sect.
The Sovereign of the Nether Sky really came.
Lü Wutian also came.
From the looks of it, Lü Wutian seemed intent on challenging the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
Suddenly, Gong Sunqi revealed the truth: Lü Wutian once had a beloved, but because he betrayed the Great Qin, it was hard to drag that woman along as he fled, so he left her in a small mountain village.
She was not just extraordinary in appearance to catch Lü Wutian's eye; she possessed an unusual constitution that could collapse mountains with one finger.
Ling Sang later targeted her, wanting to subdue her, but she refused and chose to fight.
In the end, she died under the feet of the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
Since then, Lü Wutian harbored a hatred towards the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
Both their names contained the character for 'heaven,' as if some force interwove their destinies.
In the face of Gong Sunqi's revelation, Lü Wutian adamantly denied it, claiming he had no beloved; he simply wanted to kill the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
The arrival of Lü Wutian also alleviated the pressure on Su Yie and others.
After all, the opponent was the Zi Wei Star Body, the Sovereign of the Nether Sky.
This day.
While practicing on the rooftop, Su Yie suddenly opened his eyes; he could feel a surge of killing intent erupting outside the city.
"I am Prince Bi Jie of Great Qin! Today, I wish to exterminate the Bailing Demon Lord and rid the Human Clan of this menace! Who wishes to fight alongside me?"
The voice of Bi Jie resounded through heaven and earth, full of vigor.
