“Since you’re already here, have you sensed what you’re looking for? If not, this is not a place for you to linger long…”
The grand elder smiled slightly, unwilling to dwell further on such a trivial question. Indeed, he still needed to protect the entire Huangpu Clan, but if someone dared challenge his authority, he wouldn’t mind stretching his muscles a bit.
“If you deliberately concealed what we’re seeking, I’m afraid I wouldn’t sense it at all. After all, your strength surpasses mine by a slight margin!”
Under different circumstances, Xiao Ding would have shown no tolerance towards anyone else, but this individual exuded a dangerous aura that made him hesitant to act recklessly. Even his tone carried a cautious edge.
Earlier, he indeed sensed unusual fluctuations within the Coldwater Ravine, but upon entering this stone chamber, those fluctuations mysteriously vanished. Without a doubt, this person must have done something to conceal them.
This only strengthened Xiao Ding’s conviction that the restricted area hidden by the Huangpu Clan must harbor some unknown secret—most likely connected to an ancient lost formation, if not directly related to it.
“I don’t have time to indulge in such childish games. If you believe I’ve hidden what you’re looking for, feel free to search again!”
Such probing meant nothing to the grand elder. Even if he had done it, would he actually show it? Naturally not!
Upon hearing the grand elder’s words, Xiao Ding found himself momentarily at a loss. Could he really start searching again right in front of him? If he failed once more to detect the ancient formation, wouldn’t he just end up undermining his own position?
Meanwhile, outside the Coldwater Ravine…
As Xiao Ding had not emerged for quite some time, Yu Yiren’s delicate brows had furrowed deeply. Earlier, she had sensed the aura of the person inside the ravine and knew that this mysterious expert likely surpassed them in strength.
If her second elder brother became entangled with this formidable figure, the situation could turn dire. Yu Yiren felt an unfamiliar sense of anxiety creeping in—since arriving in this world, this was the first time she had experienced such emotions. Perhaps it was because their leader was still in seclusion, or perhaps because the hidden expert from the Huangpu Clan was simply too strong.
“Why hasn’t Second Brother come out yet? So much time has already passed…”
Li Xuan was also beginning to lose his composure, a glint of something unusual flashing through his eyes. He was clearly contemplating something. This expert from the hidden Huangpu Clan had completely disrupted his plans.
“Second Brother is the most composed among us. I’m sure nothing has gone wrong unless that pretentious fellow dares to make a move!”
A cold frost formed on Yu Yiren’s face as her icy gaze swept across the hidden experts of the Huangpu Clan, sending a chill down the spines of those she passed. True experts always carried an aura of silent intimidation.
Though Yu Yiren had no desire to kill, should anything happen to Xiao Ding, she would undoubtedly transform into a vengeful demoness. After all, she held no attachment to anyone in this world except for the three people closest to her heart.
“Why don’t we capture these weaklings first? That might make the person inside think twice before harming Second Brother!” Li Xuan suggested, a barely perceptible gleam of satisfaction flickering across his eyes.
Yu Yiren hesitated slightly, biting her lip, but before she could respond, Li Xuan had already moved. To these people, a Tianling Realm expert was like a god. Without the Huangpu Clan’s patriarch and the elders present, no one here could withstand his oppressive aura.
Li Xuan showed no restraint in his actions, and naturally, the hidden members of the Tan Clan would not stand idly by. Stirring the pot would only make things worse.
A blurry shadow flashed across the ground as the hidden Huangpu experts hastily retreated. Two elders at the half-step Tongling Realm stepped forward, but were sent flying backward before even touching Li Xuan—whether they lived or died was uncertain.
Shock and terror spread across the faces of the Huangpu Clan members. They had never imagined being so utterly humiliated. A single opponent was enough to wipe them all out—this was a crushing, one-sided domination.
“You dare to attack within the territory of the hidden Huangpu Clan? That seems rather inappropriate. Do you truly believe no one in this world can stand against you?”
As everyone’s hearts sank, the figure of the Huangpu Clan’s patriarch suddenly appeared before their eyes, followed by the gradual gathering of powerful auras.
At the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, one extraordinary young talent after another emerged—not necessarily vying for the top ten rankings, but rather drawn by the mysterious location mentioned by the Eastern Holy Temple’s leader.
The fact that such a place was even mentioned at the tournament spoke volumes—it was likely a remnant from the previous ancient martial era. Even the Holy Temple Guardians would be eager to claim such a treasure.
“Since you’ve already come, have you sensed what you’re looking for? If not, this is not a place for you to linger…”
The Grand Elder smiled, not bothering to dwell on trivial matters. Indeed, he still had to protect the entire Huangpu family, but if someone dared to challenge his authority, he wouldn’t mind stretching his muscles.
“If you have the intention to hide what we’re seeking, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to sense it, given that your strength surpasses mine by a margin!”
If it were anyone else, Xiao Ding wouldn’t have shown the slightest compromise. But this person’s strength gave him a sense of danger, and he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. Even his tone carried a hint of probing.
Earlier, he had indeed sensed some unusual fluctuations in the aura of the Cold Water Ravine. But after entering this stone chamber, those fluctuations had quietly been concealed. It was obvious that this person had tampered with it.
Involuntarily, Xiao Ding became even more certain that the hidden forbidden grounds of the Huangpu family must hold secrets unknown to others. Even if it wasn’t an ancient lost array, it must be something related to it.
“I don’t have time to play these trivial games with you. If you think I’ve hidden what you’re looking for, you’re free to search again!”
Such probing was of no use to the Grand Elder. Even if he had done it, would he show it? The answer was naturally no.
Upon hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Xiao Ding was momentarily at a loss. Should he search again in front of this person? If he still couldn’t sense the lost array, wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?
Meanwhile, outside the Cold Water Ravine…
As Xiao Ding had yet to emerge, Yu Yiren’s delicate brows furrowed deeply. Earlier, she too had sensed the aura of the person inside the Cold Water Ravine and knew that, in terms of strength, this mysterious expert was likely a notch above them.
If Second Brother were to be entangled by this mysterious expert, wouldn’t that be very bad? Yu Yiren inexplicably began to feel nervous. Since coming to this world, it was the first time she had felt such emotions, perhaps because the eldest was still in seclusion, or perhaps because the hidden expert of the Huangpu family was too strong.
“Why hasn’t Second Brother come out yet? It’s been so long…”
Li Xuan was also growing restless. A strange glint flashed in his eyes, though it was unclear what he was thinking. The hidden expert of the Huangpu family had completely disrupted his plans!
“Second Brother is the most composed. Surely nothing has gone wrong, unless that mysterious figure really dares to make a move!”
A layer of frost seemed to form on Yu Yiren’s face. Her icy gaze swept over the many experts of the Huangpu family, her formidable aura sending chills down their spines. A true expert always exuded an intimidating presence without needing to show anger.
Although Yu Yiren had no desire to kill, if something were to happen to Xiao Ding, she would undoubtedly become a demoness. After all, she had no emotional ties to the people of this world; her only attachments were to the three closest to her.
“Perhaps we should take control of these useless people first, to make the one inside think twice before acting against Second Brother!” Li Xuan suggested, a barely noticeable hint of delight in his eyes.
Biting her lower lip, Yu Yiren hesitated. But before she could react, Li Xuan had already moved. To these people, a Tianling Realm expert was like a god. Without the Huangpu Patriarch and the many elders present, there wasn’t a single person here who could withstand the pressure of that aura.
When Li Xuan acted, he naturally held nothing back. The hidden members of the Tan family, seeing this, naturally wouldn’t stand idly by. Adding fuel to the fire was the best course of action!
A shadow flashed across the ground, and the hidden experts of the Huangpu family were forced to retreat a few steps. Two half-step Tongling Realm elders stepped forward, but before they could even touch Li Xuan’s body, they were sent flying, their fate unknown.
The faces of the Huangpu family members slowly turned to horror. They had never imagined they would be in such a dire situation. The opponent was just one person, yet he was enough to annihilate everyone present. It was an undeniable, overwhelming force.
“To act so boldly within the Huangpu family’s territory, isn’t that a bit too much? Do you really think there’s no one in this world who can stop you?”
Just as everyone’s hearts were sinking, the figure of the Huangpu Patriarch suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight. Following him, a series of powerful auras began to converge.
At the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly, a group of monstrously talented young individuals had emerged. They weren’t fighting for the top ten spots but were instead drawn to the mysterious location mentioned by the Eastern Earth Temple’s leader.
The fact that it was brought up at the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly as a selling point was enough to indicate that this mysterious place was no ordinary location. It was likely something from the previous era of ancient martial arts, something even the Guardian Temple would covet.
Even some half-step Xiantian Realm experts had emerged, making many of the older generation’s eyes light up. Were the young people of today truly so terrifyingly talented?
Fortunately, no one had yet reached the Xiantian Realm, or else these old-timers would have been banging their heads against the wall. It would have been as if they had wasted decades of their lives!
After Guo Chen was nearly killed and Xiao Yufan fell into a coma, a few others were bestowed with the most dazzling halos of the younger generation. Most of these individuals were from the Guardian Temple, which made everyone somewhat relieved. Only a thousand-year-old institution like the Guardian Temple could cultivate such strong individuals.
Apart from these, there was also a graceful figure that caused the entire Ancient Martial Arts Assembly to buzz once more. A woman, who had successively defeated three half-step Xiantian Realm experts, left everyone’s jaws on the floor.
This woman was Cheng Ying. After leaving several young members of the Guardian Temple in the dust, she calmly stepped down from the platform. Her stunning beauty even surprised some of the older generation.
“It’s a shame you can’t see this, but I must secure a spot in the top ten. Because in the future, I won’t let you face things alone.”
Returning to the Qingling Temple’s seating area, Cheng Ying paid no heed to the many astonished gazes. She walked straight to Xiao Yufan’s side, placing her jade-like hand in his palm, whispering softly.
Seeing this, countless men’s hearts shattered. Cheng Ying’s performance could only be described as otherworldly, yet such a woman already had her heart set on someone.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Kong shook his head helplessly. He finally understood that Cheng Ying’s threats had not been empty. If he had truly harmed this man, he wouldn’t be sitting here so comfortably now.
At the same time, Ye Kong silently prayed for the old man of the hidden Guo family, hoping he wouldn’t meet too gruesome an end…
Fortunately, no one had yet reached the full Xiantian Realm among the younger generation, or else these old masters would have been driven to despair, questioning if they had lived like pigs for decades!
After Guo Chen nearly lost his life and Xiao Yufan fell into a coma, several new figures emerged as the most dazzling stars of the younger generation. Most of them belonged to the Holy Temple Guardians, prompting others to feel reassured—only an organization with a thousand-year legacy like the Holy Temple Guardians could cultivate such powerful experts.
Among these figures was also a graceful silhouette that reignited the entire tournament’s excitement. A woman who defeated three half-step Xiantian experts in succession left everyone stunned, jaws dropping in disbelief.
This woman was Cheng Ying. After easily outclassing several young talents from the Holy Temple Guardians, she calmly descended from the viewing platform. Her peerless beauty even drew astonished glances from the elders.
“Pity you can’t see this, but I must secure a top ten spot, because from now on, I won’t let you face things alone anymore!”
Returning to the Qingling Sect’s section, Cheng Ying paid no heed to the astonished gazes around her and walked straight to Xiao Yufan’s side. She gently placed her hand in his, whispering softly.
At this scene, countless hearts of men shattered instantly. Cheng Ying’s actions could only be described as heavenly—truly beyond words. Yet such an extraordinary woman had already given her heart to someone else.
“Since you’ve already arrived, have you sensed what you’re looking for? If not, this is not a place for you to linger…”
The Grand Elder smiled, not dwelling on trivial matters. Indeed, he still had to protect the entire Huangpu family, but if someone dared to challenge his authority, he wouldn’t mind stretching his limbs.
“If you, sir, have intentionally hidden what we seek, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to sense it, especially since your strength surpasses mine!”
If it were anyone else, Xiao Ding wouldn’t have shown any leniency, but this person’s strength gave him a sense of danger. He didn’t dare to be too presumptuous, even his tone carried a hint of probing.
Earlier, he had indeed sensed some unusual fluctuations in the aura of the Cold Water Ravine, but upon entering this stone chamber, those fluctuations had subtly disappeared. It was clear that this person had done something to conceal them.
Involuntarily, Xiao Ding became even more convinced that the hidden sanctuary of the Huangpu family must hold secrets unknown to others. Even if it wasn’t an ancient lost formation, it was certainly related to something of that nature.
“I don’t have the time to play such trivial games with you. If you think I’ve hidden what you’re looking for, you’re welcome to search again!”
Such probing was useless to the Grand Elder. Even if he had done it, would he show it? The answer was naturally no!
Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Xiao Ding was momentarily at a loss. Should he search again in front of this person? If he still couldn’t sense the lost formation, wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?
Meanwhile, outside the Cold Water Ravine…
As Xiao Ding had yet to emerge, Yu Yiren’s brows were deeply furrowed. Earlier, she had also sensed the aura of the person in the Cold Water Ravine and knew that, in terms of strength, this mysterious powerhouse was likely a notch above them.
If her second brother was entangled by this mysterious powerhouse, wouldn’t that be very bad? Yu Yiren inexplicably began to feel nervous. Since arriving in this world, it was the first time she had felt such emotions, perhaps because the eldest was still in seclusion, or perhaps because the hidden powerhouse of the Huangpu family was too strong.
“Why hasn’t Second Brother come out yet? It’s been so long…”
Li Xuan was also growing restless, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. It was unclear what he was thinking, but the hidden powerhouse of the Huangpu family had completely disrupted his plans!
“Second Brother is the most composed. Surely nothing has gone wrong, unless that charlatan really dares to make a move!”
A layer of frost seemed to form on Yu Yiren’s face as her cold gaze swept over the many powerhouses of the Huangpu family. Her formidable aura sent a chill down everyone’s spine. A true powerhouse always exuded an intimidating presence without needing to show anger.
Although Yu Yiren didn’t want to kill, if something happened to Xiao Ding, she would undoubtedly turn into a demoness. After all, she had no feelings for the people of this world; her only affections were reserved for the three closest to her.
“Why not take control of these useless people first, to make the person inside think twice before acting against Second Brother?” Li Xuan suggested, a hint of delight barely concealed in the corner of his eye.
Biting her upper lip lightly, Yu Yiren was conflicted, but before she could react, Li Xuan had already moved. To these people, a powerhouse at the Heavenly Spirit Realm was like a god. Without the Huangpu patriarch and the many elders present, there wasn’t a single person here who could withstand the pressure of such an aura.
When Li Xuan acted, he naturally held nothing back. Seeing this, the hidden members of the Tan family wouldn’t stand idly by; adding fuel to the fire was the best course of action!
A shadow flashed across the ground as the hidden powerhouse of the Huangpu family suddenly retreated a few steps. Two elders at the half-step to the Spirit Realm stepped forward, but before they could even touch Li Xuan’s body, they were sent flying, their fate unknown.
The faces of the Huangpu family members slowly turned to horror. They had never imagined they would be in such a sorry state. The opponent was just one person, yet he could easily annihilate everyone present. It was an undeniable crush.
“To act so boldly within the Huangpu family’s territory, isn’t that a bit too much? Do you really think there’s no one in this world who can stop you?”
Just as everyone’s hearts were sinking, the figure of the Huangpu patriarch suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight, followed by the gradual convergence of several formidable auras.
At the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly, one monstrously talented young person after another emerged. They weren’t fighting for the top ten spots but were instead drawn by the mysterious place mentioned by the Eastern Earth Temple’s master.
To be brought up at the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly as a selling point was enough to show that this mysterious place was no ordinary location. It was likely something from the previous Ancient Martial era, something even the Guardian Temple would covet.
Even some half-step to the Innate Realm powerhouses emerged, making many of the older generation’s eyes light up. Were the young people of today all so terrifyingly talented?
Fortunately, no young person had yet stepped into the Innate Realm, or else these old-timers would have been banging their heads against the wall, feeling like they had wasted decades of their lives!
After Guo Chen was nearly killed and Xiao Yufan fell into a coma, a few more people were bestowed with the most dazzling halos of the younger generation. Most of these were from the Guardian Temple, which made everyone somewhat relieved. Only the millennia-old Guardian Temple could nurture such powerhouses.
Apart from these, there was also a graceful figure that caused the entire Ancient Martial Arts Assembly to boil over once again. A woman, who successively defeated three half-step to the Innate Realm powerhouses, left everyone’s jaws on the floor.
This woman was Cheng Ying. After leaving several young members of the Guardian Temple in the dust, she calmly walked down from the viewing platform. Her stunning beauty even surprised some of the older generation.
“Unfortunately, you can’t see this, but I must secure a spot in the top ten. Because in the future, I won’t let you face things alone!”
Returning to the Qingling Temple’s seating area, Cheng Ying paid no heed to the many astonished gazes. She walked straight to Xiao Yufan’s side, placing her jade-like hand in his palm, softly murmuring.
Seeing this, countless men’s hearts shattered. Cheng Ying’s performance could only be described as otherworldly, yet such a woman already had her heart set on someone.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Kong shook his head helplessly. He finally understood that Cheng Ying’s threats had not been exaggerated. If he had truly harmed this man, he probably wouldn’t be sitting here so comfortably now.
At the same time, Ye Kong silently prayed for the old man of the hidden Guo family, hoping he wouldn’t meet too gruesome an end…
At the same time, Ye Kong silently offered prayers for the old man hidden within the Gu Clan, hoping he wouldn’t meet too tragic a fate…
