Chapter 413: The Early Stages of the Dao Competition

The news of Ye Xingchen challenging Ye Changge swept through the entire Star Palace like a whirlwind.

They were all looking forward to this battle.

They hoped that Ye Changge would be able to ruthlessly suppress Ye Xingchen.

After all, Ye Xingchen’s actions were well-known in the Star Palace.

If it were not for his protection, they would not have believed it.

Tomorrow would be the start of the competition.

Many things had been prepared, and the venue was set at the training grounds of the Star Palace.

There was a ten-meter-tall tower there for the battle.

This was an unprecedented battle. Not only did the Star Palace and the Great Luo Heavenly Palace come, but other small sects also came.

“I heard that the genius disciple of the Star Palace wants to challenge Ye Changge.”

“Ye Changge, who is this? He doesn’t seem to be a disciple of the Great Luo Heavenly Palace!”

“I heard that he is Mo Qingmeng’s friend, and he helped the Star Palace solve their problems.”

“Now, the Star Palace actually wants to challenge Ye Changge. This is really not right.”

“Someone is here. The matters of this large sect are not something that we can discuss.”

…

Originally, this Dao competition was organized by two sects, and no other sects were invited.

However, ever since Mo Yushu changed his mind…

Bai Xiongtian had actually invited the sects of the northern desert to watch the battle.

This made the Star Palace take this matter seriously. He was going to kick them off the stage in front of everyone in the northern desert.

As for the other sects, after receiving the news, they did not dare to delay and immediately rushed over.

They did not even have time to rest.

Bai Xiongtian was the sect master of the Great Luo Heavenly Palace, who would dare to refuse his invitation?

Surely no one, unless they did not want to continue living in the northern desert.

After all, in the northern desert, the Great Luo Heavenly Palace was a huge power.

And at this time…

Ye Changge sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, leisurely drinking tea.

It was the Daluo tea that he made himself.

It had the effect of strengthening the vital essence and refreshing the mind.

He did not care about the challenge at all.

Plus, Ye Xingchen was at the Sage Heaven Realm… He would not be afraid even if he was at the Void Realm.

He was able to reach this step because he had walked out from the flames of war and experienced many tribulations.

His will had long been tempered to be invulnerable.

Tomorrow was the day of the competition, so today was especially lively.

Every minute, one could hear the discussions coming from outside.

“Brother Ye, aren’t you going out to take a look? All the sects in the northern desert are here.

Like the Flame Sect, Hundred Spirit Valley…”

Usually, these sects were not rare.

Of course, these sects could not compare to the Great Luo Heavenly Palace and the Star Palace, but to the Li family, they were all powerful existences.

Compared to the Sunset Immortal Sect, these sects were much stronger.

Ye Changge shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

His cold eyes were calm, as if the entire world was beneath him.

“I wonder how my sister is doing now.”

As she sat on the stone bench, Li Miaoling felt a little sad.

Since young, she and Li Miaoxian had only met a few times.

It was not easy for them to have the chance to meet, and in the blink of an eye, she was taken away.

The relationship between the two of them had always been good. Hopefully, the Supreme Oblivion Palace, would not make things difficult for them.

“Don’t worry, they will be fine!”

Ye Changge saw the worry on Li Miaoling’s face and spoke.

There was no one in this world who dared to touch his disciple.

If they did it, they had to pay the price, the price of blood.

“Brother Yi, what’s wrong?”

At this moment, Yi Tianming ran out of the room.

There were big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked much more haggard.

Logically speaking, a cultivator at the peak of the Sage Heaven Realm would not experience any side effects even if he did not sleep for ten days and ten nights.

At this time, the blood energy in the body of a warrior was surging ceaselessly, and cultivation could recover their energy.

This was why Li Miaoling was deeply puzzled.

With a heavy sigh, Yi Tianming picked up the wine on the stone bench and gulped down a mouthful.

His gaze revealed a deep sense of loneliness.

“If you have anything you need, just say it!”

Ye Changge casually said.

Yi Tianming’s appearance was indeed a little frightening. His entire person seemed to have aged several decades.

He had also become taciturn. This was not in line with his personality.

His personality was similar to Ning Manman’s. He had so much energy.

Something must have happened, something that he could not resolve.

Otherwise, he would not be so depressed.

His cultivation was already at the peak of the Sage Heaven Realm. Even in the central plains region, he was already a powerhouse.

He had seen that the other party’s cultivation base far surpassed the Sage Heaven Realm. He was a powerhouse in the Void Realm.

Yi Tianming laughed bitterly. “I’m really useless.”

Just now, he had received a voice transmission from home.

Huo Ling ‘er had been chosen by a sacred son of a great sacred land. The other party was a cultivator in the initial stage of the Void Realm.

Huo Ling ‘er’s father was also very satisfied with this marriage.

If it was just this, he would not be so sad.

However, Hui Ling ‘er did not reject him, and she actually did not refuse the marriage.

This was the thing that made him feel the most despair.

Why!

Were all the promises she made him in the past fake!?

If Huo Ling ‘er did not agree, even if he risked his life, he would go to the sacred land and take her back.

He was not afraid of the Void realm or the sacred land.

But now…

As Yi Tianming slowly arrived at that conclusion, the two of them also understood what had happened.

The two of them fell silent. It was fine to settle things by fighting, but if it was a relationship matter, they would not be able to help.

He still needed to get through this by himself.

After pausing for a moment, Yi Tianming suddenly raised his head, and the dispirited look in his eyes disappeared.

He looked at the two of them with a questioning gaze. “Do you think she was forced to accept him?”

At this moment, he still had a trace of hope.

From what had happened before, it was not impossible.

Ye Changge did not say anything. Li Miaoling rolled her eyes. “When the time comes, you can just look for her!”

However, he was thinking about it now, but he could not come up with a reason.

When she saw her, everything would be clear.

…

At this moment, in a cold gathering place…

Seven people in black robes suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

“Northern desert!”

The cloaked black-robed man said hoarsely.

The others exchanged a glance and disappeared in an instant.

These people were peak-stage Sage Heaven Realm experts who had come out of death enchantment.

Among them, the leader’s cultivation was even stronger. He had already reached the peak of the Void Realm.

The Netherworld elder had been following them for the past few days. He had traveled more than half of the area and was about to collapse from exhaustion.

However, there was nothing he could do. He could not beat them in a fight, and he could not escape either.

What was even more terrifying was that during the middle of the journey, he felt an invisible gaze sweep over his body.

It made his scalp tingle and he felt that someone might be gone.

But there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to escape, he would die even faster.

This was the only way for now.
