“No… No thanks.” Chen Ge hesitated. He was suspicious of Lonemoon’s sudden politeness. Yet, he smiled courteously and said, “Exalted Immortal Lonemoon must be joking. Little Ling may be of low cultivation, but she is already an immortal and does not fall sick that easily. This must be due to the nerves of participating in a competition with immortals from other continents.”

He turned and looked at Hui Ling with a comforting gaze. Hui Ling did not react. Instead, she turned pale and looked panicked. She looked like she had a million and one things that she was holding back from saying.

This was the first time Chen Ge had ever seen her this bothered. He could not help but say, “Little Ling, just take this as another ordinary competition. Just fight as how you normally would and it will be okay. Your master has faith in you. Don’t get too stressed out.”

“… Yes, Master.” She became even paler. She did not know how to ask if she could back out of the competition.

“Your Majesty has a point,” Lonemoon said, grinning until his eyes became slits. He glanced at Hui Ling, then turned to address his own disciples. “Did you hear that? Just fight as you normally would. I have faith in you too!”

The five disciples behind him answered, “Yes, Elder!”

Their voices resonated in the hall. Hui Ling repressed the sudden hesitation and doubt she was feeling.

Hui Ling’s expression turned nastier.

Even Chen Ge frowned. Was he imagining this? Why did he feel like Lonemoon’s words were dripping with sarcasm?

Just as Chen Ge started to clarify this with Lonemoon, a white beam of light appeared in front of him. The people from He Chuan continent arrived.

There was a huge stage between them and the light, so Chen Ge and the others could see clearly this time. The white light illuminated a huge transportation array. After awhile, more than ten people appeared in the white light. At the forefront was Chu Xuan.

His gaze swept over where Chen Ge and the others were. Then, he laughed mirthlessly. “Chen Ge, I thought you would not dare to appear, just like you did the previous few times we were supposed to battle. I see that you arrived earlier today.”

Chen Ge ignored this challenge. He maintained his gentlemanly demeanour and answered in a low tone, “Celestial Emperor Chu Xuan invited us here in the name of the He Chuan continent – how can Feng Cang continent not show up?”

“Oh, it looks like you are very confident!” Chu Xuan looked at him with contempt. Unwillingly, he continued, “Since that is the case, let me see how skilful the fighters from Feng Cang continent are!”

When he finished speaking, he waved his hand and three immortals flew out from behind him, landing atop the stage. All three of them were Stygian Immortals.

“It is far too troublesome to compete one-by-one. Why don’t we let everyone of the same cultivation level battle?” Chu Xuan suggested.

Chen Ge did not object. He nodded at the three Stygian Immortals who were taking part in this competition. The three of them flew toward the center of the stage.

Lonemoon glanced at the six people on the stage. He pondered for awhile and figured out why Chu Xuan wanted all three immortals to fight at once. The three Stygian Immortals from He Chuan continent may not have looked as skilful as the other three Stygian Immortals from Feng Cang, but it was obvious that they were used to co-operating with one another in battle. The Stygian Immortals from Feng Cang, on the other hand, were picked out from different countries. It was likely that they had never fought together before. Their teamwork and chemistry was obviously lacking.

Indeed, in a few moments, the three Stygian Immortals were broken apart. It could be said that they were shamefully defeated. The three of them were kicked off the stage. Suddenly, the expressions of the various emperors present changed.
