Facing the reprimand, Zhuge Yu displayed an indifferent expression, "Sovereign Dantai, according to my palace ancestor master, the ancestor master of the eternal immortal sect, and the ancestor master of your sect sovereign, the rule established fifty thousand years ago is one hour."
"For the past thirty thousand years, your Huangfu Sacred Sect has consistently ranked last, while my divine soul celestial palace has either ranked first or second."
As for your Huangfu Sacred Sect, this palace master is naturally handling it according to the one-hour rule discussed by the three ancestor masters back then. Is there a problem with that?
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong knew that Zhuge Yu was speaking nonsense, yet he still had to speak the truth, “Palace Master Zhuge, actions are being observed by the heavens. The rule set by the three ancestor masters clearly states that we will battle again after one day.”
“You are blatantly lying with your eyes wide open, aren’t you just trying to have your palace disciples kill Tan Yun? Don’t you fear being ridiculed?”
Zhuge Yu continued with righteous indignation, “Ridiculous! This palace master is merely stating the facts. Dantai Sect Leader, if you are worried that Tan Yun will die, then just let him concede!”
“Enough, this palace master doesn’t want to waste words with you. If your sect wants to fight, then fight; if not, concede and stop making a fuss!”
At this moment, Ru Yan Wu Ji echoed with a guilty conscience, “Indeed, what Palace Master Zhuge said is correct. The three ancestor masters indeed established the rule of battling again after one hour!”
Hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong laughed angrily, “In collusion… in collusion indeed!”
At this time, Tan Yun, sitting cross-legged to recover from his injuries, stood up and said, “Sect Leader, no need to worry. Even if I’m injured, defeating the mere disciples of the divine soul celestial palace is still not a problem!”
“Good, you have spirit! No wonder you are the benchmark disciple of my Huangfu Sacred Sect!” Dantai Xuanzhong praised. He transformed into a shadow and rushed up to the pavilion, sweeping his robe sleeve towards Zhuge Yu, his gaze dark and grim, “Just wait to collect your palace disciples' corpses!”
Zhuge Yu smiled disdainfully and then looked down at Xu Sisi, He Chao Yang, and Li Suyue on the Ascension Platform, declaring with conviction, “The honor of my divine soul celestial palace must not be violated. You are to display the might of our celestial palace!”
The three of them radiated killing intent, responding in unison, “Disciples obey, we will slay the opponent under our swords!”
“Good!” Zhuge Yu approved, “Among the three of you, Xu Sisi has slightly weaker strength. In that case, let Li Suyue and He Chao Yang take the lead in battle.”
“This palace master commands you both to ensure victory and not give Huangfu Sacred Sect a chance in the third round!”
Upon hearing this, Li Suyue and He Chao Yang bowed and responded, “Disciples obey!”
“Whoosh!”
Li Suyue, in a long green dress, turned into a streak of shadow and leaped onto the high platform, her icy gaze fixed on Tan Yun, unafraid, “Come up and fight!”
“Are you bullying me when I’m injured?” Tan Yun’s lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with disdain.
“Tan Yun, you should recover from your injuries first. Let me deal with her,” Mu Mengyi said, looking at Tan Yun with concern.
Tan Yun hugged Mu Mengyi, whispering softly, “She obtained a legacy in the ancient well at the Battlefield of the Gods ten years ago.”
“As for what the legacy is, I do not know right now, so when the battle begins, you must go all out against her.”
“It would be best if you can defeat and kill her. If not, escape from the high platform. To me, your life is far more important than the honor of Huangfu Sacred Sect; nothing in this world is more important than you.”
Mu Mengyi felt sweet in her heart, snuggling in Tan Yun’s embrace, she softly said, “You don’t have to worry, believe that I can defeat her.”
