Chapter 56

On the eighteenth day, at the Ten Thousand Sect Platform, Chu Yan had yet to emerge from the Black Forest, which made the remaining ten sects increasingly anxious.

In the Yan Kingdom, Fan Ye had also joined the Vast Heaven Sect. A disciple from the Yan Kingdom beside him said, "Your Highness, it looks like that kid isn't coming out."

Fan Ye sighed, "That's his fate."

"It's a pity that Your Highness did so much for him. If he hadn't delayed us, Young Master might have surpassed Murong Kuang and become the first person to emerge from the Black Forest this year."

"It doesn't matter; it's just a hollow reputation. I've never cared about such things. However, if Chu Yan dies, the Changlong Kingdom will face a disaster. When I go to the Vast Heaven Sect, you should return to the Yan Kingdom and tell my father to try to protect the Changlong Kingdom as much as possible. It's a gesture of goodwill from our kingdom."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Then came a long wait, with no news of Chu Yan.

In the past few days, some sects had extended invitations to the fat boy, but they were all sects ranked outside the top hundred, and the fat boy had rejected all of them.

"What's wrong with that fat boy? A waste of the Mortal Realm, how can he still be here?" A few disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect began to discuss.

"I don't know. For the past few days, he's been telling people that he's going to join our Vast Heaven Sect." A disciple shook his head, finding it amusing. "He must be dreaming too much."

"A waste of the Mortal Realm, wanting to join the Vast Heaven Sect?" Suddenly, a disciple laughed.

At that moment, a young man who somewhat resembled Murong Kuang smiled and said to the fat boy, "Little fatty, let me give you some advice. Join a trash sect quickly, or soon you won't even have the chance to join a sect, and you'll be left to till the land back home."

The fat boy glared at the young man with disdain, "Your fat brother won't do that. Don't worry, in a few days, when my brother Chu comes out, your Vast Heaven Sect will beg me to join."

Hearing the fat boy's words, the Vast Heaven Sect disciples frowned. One of them was taken aback, "Brother Chu? You mean Chu Yan?"

"Of course." The fat boy proudly puffed out his chest.

But the young man suddenly burst out laughing, "Ha, that's hilarious. It's already been eighteen days, and that kid hasn't come out of the Black Forest. He's probably long dead, and you still hope he'll bring you into the Vast Heaven Sect?"

The fat boy glared, "What the hell! Who are you saying is dead? You're the one who's dead, and your whole family is dead!"

The young man wasn't angry at the fat boy's insults; instead, he became even more mocking, "Don't get so worked up. Is what I said wrong? Oh, I remember who you are now. When Chu Yan was being hunted like a dog, you were there, right? Ha, I still remember how one of you was nailed to the ground by Snake Yi. What a pitiful sight."

The fat boy's eyes turned red. Zhao Sanfeng's death had always been a sore spot for him, "Did you participate in the hunt?"

"Yes, but it's a pity you didn't choose to break through where I was. Otherwise, I would have been the one to kill you." The young man sneered.

"Damn it, I'll kill you, fat boy!" The fat boy was furious. Although he was sleazy, he valued loyalty. Zhao Sanfeng was his best brother, and now he knew this young man had participated in the hunt, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Fat boy, stop!" At that moment, Su Muyan suddenly stepped forward. She hadn't joined any sect in the past few days and was still waiting for Chu. She had decided that if Chu Yan didn't come out, she would give up and directly join the Changlong Sect.

"Thirteenth Princess, don't stop me, I'm going to kill him!" The fat boy roared.

"Don't be foolish. He's the second prince of the Yunding Kingdom, at the eighth level of the Moving Dust Realm. You can't beat him. You've barely made it out of the Black Forest; do you want to die here? How will you explain this to Brother Chu Yan?" Su Muyan said sternly. Although she was capricious, she was a princess, so she knew better than the fat boy who could be provoked and who couldn't.

The fat boy clenched his fists and held back. Su Muyan gave the young man a cold look, "Murong Zhe, don't go too far. If my brother Chu Yan comes out, you won't even be as good as a dog in front of him."

Murong Zhe looked at Su Muyan and smiled greedily, "I wondered who you were. You're just a princess from a waste of a kingdom that can only rely on marriage alliances to protect its territory."

"What did you say?" Su Muyan's eyes widened.

"Am I wrong? The Changlong Kingdom only knows how to form marriage alliances. When the Snow Kingdom attacked, the Changlong Kingdom used Su Xishuang to form an alliance, selling their daughter for peace. Ha, it's actually a good method. Next time I return to the Yunding Kingdom, I'll tell my father to attack the Changlong Kingdom and see if they'll give you to me as a dowry." Murong Zhe mocked.

Su Muyan's face turned dark. She had never known about Su Xishuang's marriage alliance with the Snow Kingdom and didn't want to believe it.

"You're talking nonsense!" Su Muyan shouted in anger.

But at that moment, Murong Zhe's eyes turned cold. He waved his sleeve, and a burst of energy shot towards Su Muyan, "Bitch, I hate it when people insult me. You, a woman about to become a national disgrace, dare to insult me?"

"Thirteenth Princess, be careful!"

No one expected Murong Zhe to attack. The Changlong Kingdom guards behind Su Muyan changed their expressions and rushed forward to block Murong Zhe's energy.

"A bunch of slaves, daring to block me?" Murong Zhe's face turned even darker. He drew a long spear and thrust it forward, severely injuring the guards who were protecting Su Muyan.

After severely injuring the guards, Murong Zhe coldly snorted and sent another burst of energy towards Su Muyan.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked. No one expected Murong Zhe to go so far. Murong Kuang, standing nearby, glanced at the scene but said nothing. In his eyes, it was a world of the strong preying on the weak, and the Changlong Kingdom was just an ant. No matter how much Murong Zhe caused trouble, it didn't matter.

"Damn it, I'll fight you, fat boy!" The fat boy roared from behind, charging forward with a three-foot-long sword in his hand, aiming at Murong Zhe.

"Waste, if you want to die, I'll send you to join your brother!" Murong Zhe's anger intensified. In the Yunding Kingdom, he was always a high-ranking figure, so he couldn't tolerate a waste of the Mortal Realm challenging him.

"Poof!" In the next moment, a long spear pierced the fat boy's chest, accompanied by his scream. His eyes were still bloodshot, and the three-foot-long sword in his hand thrust forward, but it was blocked by a Yuan Qi shield just before it reached Murong Zhe.

"Fat boy!" Su Muyan was shocked, but she couldn't do anything. Murong Zhe was too strong, even stronger than her. Even if she and the fat boy joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Murong Zhe.

"Is there no one to stop this?" Su Muyan looked helplessly at the Vast Heaven Sect elders and other students, but all she received were cold stares.

This was the world of cultivation, where there was no right or wrong, only strength.

Su Muyan cried, but her tears couldn't change anything. No one was willing to help the fat boy. Newcomers fighting was a common occurrence during the Ten Thousand Sect recruitment, and many elders saw it as a form of cultivation.

"Thirteenth Princess, don't cry. Tell Brother Chu that I, the fat boy, didn't disgrace him. When he comes out, have him kill this bastard for me!" The fat boy smiled painfully at the Thirteenth Princess.

"Ah!" But in the next moment, the fat boy screamed again. The spear inside his body was twisted, and Murong Zhe used more force, piercing the spear through the fat boy's back.

"Damn it, I'm not afraid of dying. When my brother Chu comes out, he'll kill you eventually! Come on!" The fat boy roared defiantly. At that moment, one of Fan Ye's subordinates was about to intervene, but Fan Ye stopped him.

"Your Highness, why?"

Fan Ye shook his head, "This is the world of cultivation, where only hot blood leads to death. Without strength, you can't survive. You can save him once, but not twice."

The subordinate sighed and said nothing. But at that moment, a fierce wind whistled past, coming from the Black Forest.

"Whoosh!"

The sky darkened, as if a dragon's roar echoed. An iron spear flew out of the Black Forest, heading straight for Murong Zhe.

This sudden change shocked Murong Zhe. The iron spear was too powerful, and its speed was terrifying. At that moment, the iron spear didn't look like a spear but more like an arrow shot from the heavens, with only one target: Murong Zhe.

"Damn it, who is it!?" Murong Zhe was shocked and had no choice but to drop his spear, quickly retreating. He drew a three-foot-long sword and struck the iron spear dozens of times, finally slowing its momentum.

But it wasn't over yet. At that moment, a figure rushed out of the Black Forest like a wild beast, leaping onto the Ten Thousand Sect Platform. He grabbed the iron spear and charged at Murong Zhe.

Everyone was shocked. The figure was too fast, like a bolt of lightning. Murong Zhe was also taken aback. He could clearly sense that the opponent was only at the fourth level of the Moving Dust Realm, but when he grabbed the iron spear, it brought an endless sense of danger.

"Run!" This was the only thought in Murong Zhe's mind, but he had no chance.

"I'll cripple your legs first!" Ye Xun's spear pierced through Murong Zhe's calves, causing him to kneel. But it wasn't over yet. Ye Xun pulled out the iron spear, spun gracefully, and thrust it into Murong Zhe's other calf, pinning him to the ground with a fluid motion.

Seeing Ye Xun, everyone was shocked, but what was even more exciting was... after Ye Xun emerged from the Black Forest, another young man walked out.

When everyone saw the young man, the entire crowd held their breath, and the Ten Thousand Sects were excited. Mo Tu and Jiang Yi's eyes were filled with joy.

In the sky, seeing Chu Yan, the Demon Elder also sighed in relief. Similarly, in the sky above, the Chiyue Valley group, with Chiyue's eyes almost as cold as ice, said, "How is he still alive!"
