“Li Yu, who is this person? Why have I never heard of him in my previous life?”

Zhu Xiaotian frowned as killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Yi Caidie was also slightly surprised, and she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Zhu Xiaotian’s rather sullen expression.

“He even got an additional reward!” Zhu Xiaotian was even more shocked!

Not to mention that number one had been seized by a fellow called Li Yu.

He was also the first in his previous life, but he had only obtained the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

There was no additional reward.

What ability did this person have to obtain the favor of the Heavenly Dao and even obtain additional rewards?

Moreover, the additional reward was too great. Chongming Bird was a divine bird!

It was said that this bird was shaped like a chicken and sang like a phoenix. It had two eyes and was born with the ability to dispel evil. It was the natural enemy of demons and ghosts.

It could reach adulthood in sixty years. Once it did, it would possess the strength of the Profound Void Martial Stage at the very least.

Obtaining this divine bird was equivalent to acquiring a powerful aid in combat strength with limitless potential.

Such a reward was a desirable and crazy opportunity for the entire Huaxia continent.

If his family obtained this divine bird, they could possess an expert at the Profound Void Martial Stage in the future.

The Zhu family would dominate over the entire Huaxia continent.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill was another incomparable treasure.

A single Heavenly Spirit Pill could shape a heavenly spiritual root.

In the past, he had relied on this pill to cleanse his marrow, reconstruct his foundation, and establish an even more monstrous cultivation talent.

However, in this life, not only did he lose the top spot, he did not even obtain this Heavenly Spirit Pill.

Zhu Xiaotian felt as if he had suffered double the damage.

At this moment, he only had a single thought in his mind—he must eliminate Li Yu.

This guy was an uncertain factor for him, a hidden threat to his future plans.

He had to get rid of him. He had to make everything return to the path he was familiar with.

…

In the Eastern Palace, Murong Xingqiao and Shen Qiuming looked at the name of the rankings with faces filled with bewilderment.

“Who is Li Yu? And that… large sect? Why have I never heard of it before?” Murong Xingqiao had a puzzled expression.

“From the name, you can tell that it’s very likely a small sect that’s not up to standard. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it, Your Highness!” Shen Qiuming said.

“Elder Shen, quickly send someone to find this person. I want to take this person under my wing and ensure his safety!” said Murong Xingqiao.

He was very clearly aware that such a hidden genius was like an unpolished jade that had not been developed.

Many factions would likely scramble to recruit such talent.

After all, obtaining this person would not only give them a young elite with limitless potential, they could even improve their own reputation with him.

After all, being the first on the Heavenly Dao Ranking was simply too dazzling.

Likely, after today, there would be no one in the world who did not know Li Yu.

The next time the rankings refreshed, the information about Li Yu’s background was the key to the rise of the reputation of countless factions!

Not only that, if they accepted this child, they could even obtain more rewards from the Heavenly Dao through him in the future. They would have endless opportunities to grow.

Of course, there would definitely be many jealous people who might even have ill intentions.

After all, if he was eliminated, the ranking of others would increase, especially for the second place.

Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Chongming Bird were peerless treasures that were enough to drive everyone in the world crazy.

A man’s wealth is his ruin by itself. If such a reward went to the imperial family or large factions like the Jade Pure Dao Sect and the Zhu family, no one would dare to think of obtaining it.

However, it had fallen into the hands of such a small and unknown sect, it would likely invite a fatal disaster.

Perhaps the first to take action would be the demonic sects.

So, Murong Xingqiao had to protect that person and take him under his wing as his retainer.
