C29 (1/2)

On this day, the mountains were shrouded in a hazy cloud. The rolling sea of clouds came from the endless wilderness in the west, as if it was a legion of billions, passing through the jade-green mountains and heading towards the ocean in the east.

It was already noon. The golden sunlight penetrated through the clouds and descended like a pillar of light, enveloping the entire jade-green mountains in a golden glow.

In the midst of the mountains and ravines, countless cranes fluttered about, creating a grand scene of the immortal path in the air.

And today, this mountain peak of the War Immortal Stage had a single sword, Ling Tian. It was majestic and majestic!

The arena was like a giant sword slanted into the sky, the tip of the sword pointed eastward, it had a domineering, heaven-defying will! On the surface, there was no flat surface. Everything that could stand was slanted. For an ordinary disciple to be able to stand firmly on the Dou Xian Stage was already an impressive feat, much less fight.

It was precisely because of this slanted surface that most of the disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be able to watch today's battle. Those who could stand here and watch would at least be at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage.

Just from this point alone, the Dou Xian Stage was several levels more solemn than the ascension platform.

This Immortal-Battling Terrace forbade the Immortal Crane from flying. Therefore, the disciples had to rush up on foot. When they arrived at the true battlefield, they were actually already slightly exhausted.

On the vast War Immortal Stage, when one looked over, they would see heads moving. The Immortal Dao disciples had eyes full of expectation as they waited for the battle between the twelve core disciples. A battle between Qi Condensation disciples was something they could only hope for.

Of course, Wu Yu was not one of the core disciples. But because he was involved in the struggle between the two supreme figures of the Sect Master and Protector, as well as the enmity between him and Situ Qing, and even the one year agreement, it was all very interesting.

”The Supreme Protector has arrived!”

The noisy and loud discussion of the disciples immediately shut their mouths. They looked in awe at a beauty in a blue dress that was floating down from the sky.

Even though she wasn't young, the passing of time didn't leave any traces on her body. Instead, it gave her a noble air, a refined temperament, and elegant makeup that added to her beauty.

As she fell, the surrounding light and shadows changed. Vaguely, there seemed to be a deep blue lake behind her. She was like a woman falling into water, finally landing above everyone's head, landing on a golden blue seat made from ten thousand swords.

This was the Myriad Sword Sovereign Seat, the exclusive seat for the Supreme Protectors. If anyone else dared to sit around, they would at least be considered a death sentence within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

One of them was someone Wu Yu recognized, and that was Elder Mu Ge. Today, the other Elders, including Lan Hua Yun, were all in charge, and Mu Ge was in charge of the selection of the supervisors of the Immortal Kingdom.

All of them stood there, surrounding the center of the Immortal Battlefield. Even people like Su Yan Li were among the crowd, but they were the closest to the battlefield. There were no other disciples within thirty feet of them.

Normally, the selection of the supervisors from the immortal countries would not be this grand. The reason why Lan Huayun had personally come today was all because of Situ Qing. Her appearance also caused the selection to become grand and solemn like it had never been before.

Surrounded by the crowd, Situ Qing, who was wearing a blue robe, was chatting and laughing with a group of disciples. The people around him were all participants, but they were on good terms with him and were trying to curry favor with him. At this time, he had absolutely attracted the attention of most of the onlookers.

”Wu Yu.”

Situ Qing secretly searched for a while, but didn't find Wu Yu.

”Sure enough, it's as they said. He did not have the intention to join the battle, and only wanted to stall for time in fear that I might kill him.” Thinking of this, Situ Qing sneered in his heart.

If they hadn't seen Wu Yu at this time, many of them would've thought the same.

At this moment, Elder Mu Ge stood up from his seat and asked, ”The competition is about to begin. Have the twelve participants come?”

Everyone looked over. Among them, ten of the participants had already gathered around Situ Qing. In total, there were only eleven of them.

”Wu Yu, you're not here yet.”

Very quickly, many people replied with disdain. Wu Yu's absence today confirmed the guess of most of the disciples these days. He had participated in the selection competition purely because he was afraid that Situ Ming would kill him.

”To think that our Heavenly Sword Sect has produced such a shameless person. ”I heard that a few days ago, he even picked up the Monkey Head Fruits that Situ Qingming threw on the ground.”

When these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into an uproar. As disciples of the righteous sects, they naturally felt no shame towards such cowardly actions.

”You guys don't know much about it. It was said that Wu Yu had crawled under Situ Qing's crotch to pick up the Monkey Head Fruit.” It's just a mere Monkey Head Fruit, and yet you call him someone without a backbone, it's really us … ”

He hadn't even finished speaking when Elder Mu Ge looked around before his gaze finally landed on Su Yan Li. He said in a clear voice, ”Martial Nephew Yan Li, since you're on good terms with Wu Yu, go and invite him. Don't waste any time.”

He naturally knew that Wu Yu definitely hadn't arrived because he was afraid of death.
