The Medical Immortal Sectâs actions undoubtedly pushed Liu Zixuan into the most dangerous situation.
Even if the Profound Sword Sect overlooks the matter of the death warrant and lets Liu Zixuan enter the sect to aim for the Emperor Realm, it could still be considered as pushing him step by step into an abyss!
Donât forget, Gu Huaqiu has been in the Profound Sword Sect for several years, with deep-rooted connections. Once Liu Zixuan enters, whether he can reach the Emperor Realm is uncertain, but he will surely face that manâs frenzied attacks.
Perhaps itâs just a personal vendetta between Liu Zixuan and the Gu Family, and the Profound Sword Sect might give Liu Zixuan some help. But itâs not that simple; to get first place, he has to defeat Gu Huaqiu.
In doing so, it would only increase the animosity, making Gu Huaqiu hate Liu Zixuan even more!
Yafei looked at Liu Zixuanâs troubled expression and smiled meaningfully: "The Medical Immortal Sect is not interested in your personal vendettas; you just need to complete that task."
With that, she patted Liu Zixuan on the shoulder: "The Profound Sword Sect is a sect that keeps its promises. Once you obtain the item, someone will secretly come to take it from you. By then, your beautiful master will naturally be released, as for whether you survive the Profound Sword Sect, thatâs up to your skills!"
After speaking, Yafei swayed her enchanting figure and walked toward the high platform.
Liu Zixuan frowned, knowing that once he went to the Profound Sword Sect, everything that followed would be unknown.
The disputes in the Martial Realm might be avoided for now, but once they reappear, the Star Sea Martial Realm might become unfamiliar to him!
And the matter with Ye Lianyi would have to be postponed.
After all, the previous rules mentioned that once the martial arts tournament concluded with a victor, the Hidden Sects would immediately take away the chosen martial artist!
In the coming period, Liu Zixuan would have to deal with the Profound Sword Sect, giving him no time to consider outside matters.
Plans never keep pace with change, and what the Medical Immortal Sect asked Liu Zixuan to do had completely disrupted his prior intentions!
"What are you thinking about?"
At this moment, Ye Lianyi came over with bread and asked.
Liu Zixuan took the bread, sat down beside her, and said, "A little unexpected event occurred. The Medical Immortal Sect wants me to do something at the Profound Sword Sect, but as you know, once the martial arts tournament ends, the Hidden Sects will take the chosen person to the sect with no extra time given, I fear..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lianyi interrupted Liu Zixuan: "Donât burden yourself mentally, my vendetta isnât a day or two old; waiting a few more days is fine, and even if you hadnât said it, I was planning to tell you and stop you!"
"Tell me what?" Liu Zixuan asked, puzzled.
"This morning, Iâve been searching, but havenât found any trace of them so far. I fear they didnât come to this martial arts tournament!" Ye Lianyi said softly.
"They didnât come? Yet all the sects and families in the Martial Realm are here." Liu Zixuan said, suddenly looking up. "You mean, your adversaries arenât from the Martial Realm."
"Thatâs right, they are from a Hidden Sect." Ye Lianyi sighed. "Since they didnât come, I naturally canât take revenge. Go to the Profound Sword Sect with peace of mind; Iâll wait for you outside."
Liu Zixuan nodded: "Donât worry, if everything goes well in the Profound Sword Sect, I wonât be there long. By then, even if itâs a Hidden Sect, Iâll join you in facing them!"
Ye Lianyi seemed unwilling to dwell further on these matters and changed the subject: "Oh yes, thereâs also some good news."
"About Zhao Yi?" Liu Zixuan mumbled as he took a bite of bread.
Ye Lianyi gave him a sidelong glance: "I wanted to be mysterious, yet you figured it out right away."
"Our earlier speculation was right. They threatened Zhao Yi with Nannan, but those in the Land of the Far North have already been controlled by Gu Yu. Once they order Zhao Yi to do something, we can completely counter-attack and catch them off guard!" Ye Lianyi said excitedly.
Liu Zixuan laughed: "Thatâs probably the best news Iâve heard today!"
Ye Lianyi wiped the crumbs from the corners of Liu Zixuanâs mouth with her hand and asked curiously: "What do you think they would threaten Zhao Yi to do? By now, they should realize youâre not interested in unifying the Martial Realm or not, so theoretically, they shouldnât be a threat anymore."
Liu Zixuanâs lips twitched with amusement, "You think that, but they wonât. Those who want to be rulers wonât allow anyone stronger than themselves near. If I place in the martial arts tournament and grow in strength, they will see me as the greatest threat."
"Rather than letting me grow and then dealing with me, theyâd rather kill me now while my strength isnât formidable."
Ye Lianyiâs pupils contracted slightly: "What you said does indeed align with the mindset of those from powerful families."
"Itâs not just aligns, but itâs definitely their mindset." Liu Zixuan finished his bread, lit a cigarette, and said slowly, "So you should have guessed what they want Zhao Yi to do!"
Ye Lianyi contemplated carefully and suddenly displayed a look of horror, "What theyâre doing is simply inhuman!"
"They are human, but theyâve long lost their humanity, willing to pay any cost to achieve their goals!" Liu Zixuan waved his hand, smiling. "Alright, itâs about time; I have to compete."
"Go ahead and do your thing; Iâll wait for your return outside!" Ye Lianyi said, standing on tiptoe to give Liu Zixuan a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Liu Zixuan wore a familiar confident smile as he headed straight toward the martial arts arena.
Liu Zixuan understood that the upcoming martial arts competition was the most spectacular for the Star Sea Martial Realm,
But for him, it was the beginning of completely offending the entire Martial Realm!
Among the ten martial artists currently in the arena, two are from Hidden Sects. No one knows why they, already in a Hidden Sect, would participate in such a meaningless competition.
But none of that matters anymore.
Whether itâs disciples from Hidden Sects or martial artists from the Martial Realm, they will soon witness who will claim the title of the strongest among the young generation in the Star Sea Martial Realm!
With all eyes on her, Yafei once again ascended the platform in that signature red Wenshan, flashing a charming smile at the ten martial artists before her, and then said, "The upcoming competition will be somewhat unique. It will test not only your cultivation techniques but also your character."
"Yafei kindly reminds everyone here to use your utmost strength and most steadfast determination to defeat your opponents, as this will determine whether you can attain a higher ranking and enter a more prestigious Hidden Sect!"
