Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

The Swift Wind Law, Rock Law, and Vibration Law seemed to find a point of harmony and began to merge. Wen Qingye’s sword grew faster and faster.

The pressure on Ling Tianyu suddenly multiplied. He wondered in shock, ’Why has Wen Qingye’s sword suddenly become so much faster?’

He now had to guard against not only the terrifying explosive force on Wen Qingye’s sword, but also its insidious, vibrating Dark Force. The speed was also so fast it chilled him to the bone.

Gradually, Ling Tianyu’s Heart Spirit felt a wave of exhaustion, and the sword in his hand began to slow.

Suddenly, Wen Qingye’s eyes flew open, and the sword in his hand shot directly toward Ling Tianyu’s heart.

’Not good!’ Ling Tianyu was horrified when he saw Wen Qingye’s cold blade. He immediately swung his own sword at Wen Qingye, but Wen Qingye showed no fear whatsoever.

SHLICK!

At that moment, the sound of a sword plunging into flesh rang out, and everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.

’Are they both trying to trade their lives?’

The two in the sky also seemed momentarily stunned. Wen Qingye’s sword had struck Ling Tianyu directly in the heart, while Ling Tianyu’s sword had hacked into Wen Qingye’s arm, embedding itself deeply.

’Is Ling Tianyu dead?’

Everyone present gasped, their expressions of shock impossible to suppress.

”COUGH COUGH COUGH... Thank you for sparing my life,” Ling Tianyu said in a low voice, his eyelids feeling extremely heavy.

Had anyone been watching up close, they would have seen that the One Thought Sword had not struck Ling Tianyu’s heart, but the area just to the side of it, almost grazing the organ itself.

Wen Qingye shook his head coldly. ”No need.”

Killing Ling Tianyu here in the Jade Maiden Sect would force the sect to fully side with the Celestial Profound Sect, but they would do so with extreme reluctance. That wasn’t what Wen Qingye wanted.

Besides, Ling Tianyu’s earlier words had also made Wen Qingye hold back.

Ling Tianyu struggled to lift his head and look at Wen Qingye, his voice dry as he spoke. ”If you return to the Celestial Profound Sect now, you will surely die. Experts from my Taiyi Pavilion are lying in wait on every necessary path. Since they failed to kill you this time, they won’t give up. I’m telling you this to repay you for sparing my life. From now on, there are no grudges between us. We’ll stay out of each other’s way.”

After speaking, Ling Tianyu abruptly pulled his sword back. His body trembled as he descended before a stunned Fang Huatong. ”I must trouble Sect Leader Fang to prepare a room for me. I need to meditate and tend to my wounds.”

Seeing this, Fang Huatong nodded hurriedly. ”Of course, of course. Yann Ting, quickly, go prepare a room for him.”

Bu Yanting nodded quickly and led the blood-soaked Ling Tianyu toward the guest rooms in the distance.

At this moment, Wen Qingye also slowly descended to the ground. His body staggered, and he nearly fell.

Everyone present stared dumbfounded at Wen Qingye. His white robes were dyed crimson with blood, but his star-like eyes held such an intimidating aura it seemed they could suck a person’s very Heart Spirit right in.

’Who would have thought he could nearly kill Ling Tianyu without even using a Secret Technique? Keep in mind, Ling Tianyu’s rank within Taiyi Pavilion is even higher than Zhuo Xiangqun’s.’

’Although they are both at the Life and Death Realm Second Layer, everyone in the Taiyi Pavilion knows that Ling Tianyu is stronger than Zhuo Xiangqun. A while ago, it was rumored that Zhuo Xiangqun had pushed Wen Qingye into a corner, and Wen Qingye only managed to slay him by using a Secret Technique in the end.’

’But now, only a few short days have passed, and even Ling Tianyu is no longer Wen Qingye’s match. His growth is simply too fast!’

’A genius. Wen Qingye is the true genius!’

”Sect Leader Fang,” Wen Qingye said with a slight smile and a soft voice.

”Oh, oh.”

Only when she heard Wen Qingye speak did Fang Huatong snap back to her senses. She quickly said, ”Since you have defeated Ling Tianyu in this battle, the selection for the Sect Leader Candidate has its result. The candidate will naturally be Junlian.”

The surrounding disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect burst into a deafening, jubilant cheer that echoed to the heavens.

Wen Qingye watched the clamorous scene and nodded to himself. ’This is enough to show that Youu Junlian has a good reputation among the ordinary disciples. She holds a fair amount of prestige.’

Su Zixin clapped her hands and laughed. ”Senior Sister Youu got the Sect Leader Candidate position! This is fantastic!”

”Yes, it’s all thanks to Wen Qingye,” Liuu Han nodded, her beautiful eyes turning to his handsome face as she sighed. ”If not for him, I think it would have been basically impossible for Senior Sister Youu to get the position of Sect Leader Candidate.”

Su Zixin also nodded emphatically and pouted. ”How much time has passed? He’s already reached heights we can’t even dream of. It’s so frustrating to compare yourself to others!”

’I still remember when I first saw Wen Qingye, his cultivation was lower than mine. Now, I can’t even see a glimpse of him no matter how high I look.’

’His growth is just too fast.’

When Youu Junlian heard Fang Huatong’s words, she felt as if she were in a dream. She couldn’t quite believe it was real. She had done nothing but wait quietly on the sidelines, and in the end, the position of Sect Leader Candidate was hers.

Meng Fei and Yanm Fang watched the ecstatic Youu Junlian with faces full of jealousy. They believed they were in no way inferior to her, but simply because Youu Junlian had received help from that Wen Qingye, the position of Sect Leader Candidate had fallen into her hands.

Yanm Fang laughed bitterly. ”If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the Celestial Profound Sect to ask for Wen Qingye’s help. A pity it’s too late now.”

And just at that moment, Duan Chi stepped forward, walked up to Fang Huatong, and cupped his fists. ”My coming to the Jade Maiden Sect to help Dan’Er was secondary. My main purpose is to ask for her hand in marriage.”

”Ask for her hand?”

Fang Huatong glanced at Zhao Dan’Er, whose face was flushed with shyness and looked as delicate as a dew-kissed flower. She immediately understood everything and couldn’t help but ask, ”Dan’Er, I adopted you from the foot of the mountain. Although I am not your birth mother, I can still make the decision on this matter. If you agree to this, then I will agree.”

Zhao Dan’Er lowered her head, her voice as faint as the buzz of a mosquito. ”I agree.”

”As long as you agree.” Fang Huatong nodded, then turned to Duan Chi with a serious expression. ”Dan’Er was an orphan whom I adopted when she was little. All these years, I have treated her as my own daughter. You must not fail her in the future.”

Duan Chi quickly replied, ”Of course, of course.”

Hearing Fang Huatong’s words, a trace of joy appeared in Zhao Dan’Er’s eyes.

Fang Huatong smiled slightly. ”Then we shall discuss the specific arrangements another day.”

The two of them were overjoyed and naturally nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Standing to the side, Wen Qingye was feeling utterly exhausted and couldn’t help but say, ”Sect Leader, I will take my leave then.”

Only then did Fang Huatong realize, quickly saying to Youu Junlian beside her, ”Quickly, Junlian, take Young Hero Wen to a guest room to rest.”

Youu Junlian supported Wen Qingye and headed toward her own quarters.

The crowd watched as Youu Junlian led Wen Qingye away, knowing that the selection of the Sect Leader Candidate had come to an end.
