What shocked everyone the most was the chilling aura emanating from the two individuals.
One radiated like a brilliant star, while the other was deep and profound, like a towering mountain range.
They were clearly exceptional geniuses from the Star God Palace and the Great Cosmic Mountain.
"Ancestor Ji Tianyao, we haven't even started the challenge, how can you declare it over?"
The young man from the Star God Palace smiled, standing tall and proud, truly a sight to behold.
“Hahaha, Miss Ruyue, you are breathtakingly beautiful, a rarity in this world. As the Young Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain, I have admired you for a long time. Today, I would like to compete for your favor, lest you fall prey to some arrogant individuals and end up in a dire situation,” said the Young Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain, also speaking with a bold demeanor, his hair dancing in the wind.
The two looked at Qin Chen, their gazes icy, as if sparks were igniting in the void, a killing intent surging.
At this moment, everyone changed their expressions, looking towards the Star God Palace Master and the Great Cosmic Mountain Master. These two powerful factions had clearly set their sights on Tian Gong.
Previously, people felt that the Star God Palace and the Great Cosmic Mountain seemed to be colluding against Tian Gong, but it wasn't obvious. However, now that both Young Masters had soared onto the arena, everyone understood that today's battle would be exceptionally thrilling.
Ji Tianyao's expression changed, and he turned to look at the Star God Palace Master and the Great Cosmic Mountain Master, frowning, "Both of you, this..."
His Ji Family was hosting a martial arts competition for marriage, not to resolve grievances between these factions. Yet, the actions of the Star God Palace and the Great Cosmic Mountain clearly aimed to target Tian Gong within his Ji Family, which Ji Tianyao did not want to see.
Seeing Ji Tianyao’s concern, the Star God Palace Master laughed heartily, “Ancestor Ji Tianyao, it’s hard for heroes to resist the charms of beautiful women. Young people, when they encounter someone they love, will act recklessly. As elders, we can only support them, right?”
“Though this brat Ao Jue is the Young Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain, he is completely devoted to cultivation and has never shown interest in any woman. I never expected he would risk everything for Ji Ruyue today. As his elder, I’m genuinely pleased. If he can win this contest, I hope Ancestor Ji Tianyao will not hesitate to betroth Ruyue to my Young Master, and my Great Cosmic Mountain would gladly form a alliance with the Ji Family,” the Great Cosmic Mountain Master added with a smiling face, his dark eyes shining with brilliance.
Ji Tianyao's expression grew grim. He understood that today, for the sake of Ji Ruyue, a victor must be determined.
These top factions of the human race were clearly not taking his Ji Family seriously, which made him furious.
“Alright, since both the Star God Palace and the Great Cosmic Mountain are interested in my Ji Family's Ruyue, as the ancestor of the Ji Family, I am naturally very pleased. However, we must keep things civil. Please, everyone, restrain your disciples a bit and do not let anything unpleasant happen. As for the rest, I leave it up to you young people to determine the victor,” Ji Tianyao said, revealing a hint of a smile, his voice booming. After finishing, he stepped aside and ceased his commentary.
He realized that since these top factions were intent on causing trouble here, they might as well go ahead. In any case, regardless of who fell, his Ji Family would only ally with the victor. He had made his intentions clear, and he wouldn't intervene further.
On the open ground, the three of them exchanged glances.
Qin Chen gazed at the Young Palace Master of the Star God Palace and the Young Master of the Great Cosmic Mountain, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
It seemed the Star God Palace Master and the Great Cosmic Mountain Master had no intention of backing down.
