Chapter 1498: Chapter 1489: Major Change
Ye Chenfeng stepped down from the arena.
On the arena, the Spiritual Qi River within Ye Chenfeng’s meridians was completely restricted. Facing Song Haiyun, he had no power to protect himself whatsoever. He casually picked up the Black Xuan Sword that was stuck in the ground.
Ye Chenfeng did not want to clash head-on with Song Haiyun, at least not now. Song Haiyun had the strength of the Nirvana Realm Fourth Heavenly Layer Initial Stage, while Ye Chenfeng only had the strength of the Divine Thought Realm Second Heavenly Layer Middle Stage, with the Creation Realm and Reincarnation Realm in between! The gap in strength between him and Song Haiyun was too great.
When Song Haiyun, disregarding his status, attempted to attack Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou from the audience gracefully appeared beside Ye Chenfeng. Her aura of the Reincarnation Realm Second Heavenly Layer Late Stage surged within her. The pair of gentle, beautiful eyes she originally used to look at Ye Chenfeng now exploded with icy cold light when she glanced at Song Haiyun.
Bai Xiaorou stood firmly on Ye Chenfeng’s left side, not yielding a step. As long as Song Haiyun dared to act, she wouldn’t care whether Song Haiyun was a master in the Nirvana Realm or not! In Bai Xiaorou’s heart, she only wanted to protect Ye Chenfeng.
When Bai Xiaorou arrived beside Ye Chenfeng, the young master of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Feibai, and the young master of Sunset Island, Wu Lifen, also appeared at Ye Chenfeng’s side.
Zuo Feibai said assertively, “Song Haiyun, as the Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, don’t you want any of your dignity left? The rules of the pure physical arena competition at Sunset Island are very clear: as long as the opponent does not concede, the match cannot be terminated, and once you’re on the arena, life and death are determined by fate.”
Currently, the ancestors of Yunxian Sect, Zuo Deyuan, and Sunset Island, Wu Qingshan, these two Nirvana Realm masters haven’t arrived yet, so Zuo Feibai dared not immediately turn against Song Haiyun, as all of them combined were no match for Song Haiyun!
Wu Lifen quickly said, “At Sunset Island, slaughtering is prohibited, and the martial arena has its rules. Since someone died on the arena, all this is within the rules.”
In the various private rooms of the martial arena, there were young disciples from Third-Rank and Fourth-Rank sects. They were very resentful of Song Haiyun’s actions. In their view, Jiang Motian was the one who first went on stage to provoke, and in the end, even if killed by Ye Chenfeng on the arena, he deserved it.
Yet, Song Haiyun, using the status of a Nirvana Realm master, came out to bully others, which was undoubtedly excessive and utterly disgraceful.
“Senior Song, the martial arena at Sunset Island has its rules. It’s probably not appropriate for you to interfere, right?”
“Senior Song, we saw it clearly just now; it was your junior who sought his opponent’s life and got backfired brutally. If your junior had taken his opponent’s life, you probably wouldn’t stand out now, right? Martial competitions call for fairness!”
…
Voices echoed from the various private rooms in the martial arena. They were disciples from major sects, and they did not believe that Song Haiyun dared to lay hands on all of them, as it would undoubtedly push the Hall of Sea Gods into abyssal depths.
Song Chunmei, who came beside Song Haiyun, picked up Jiang Motian. Feeling Jiang Motian’s intermittent breathing, her gaze towards Ye Chenfeng was filled with venomous hatred.
When Song Haiyun heard the voices from the private rooms, the fire in his chest burned to the extreme, seemingly about to explode. Unable to swallow this anger, he pointed a finger at Ye Chenfeng and shouted, “I want to kill this brat! Anyone who dares utter one more word, I don’t mind sending him to meet King Yama along with him!”
Once Song Haiyun spoke, the martial arena instantly fell silent. Everyone could see that Song Haiyun was furious. If they spoke now, they might really be killed by Song Haiyun.
Song Haiyun completely disregarded his dignity, nor did he care about the dignity of the Hall of Sea Gods.
As the martial arena quieted down, two powerful auras swiftly enveloped the entire area.
The figures of Sunset Island’s ancestor Wu Qingshan and Yunxian Sect’s ancestor Zuo Deyuan instantly appeared beside Ye Chenfeng. Upon receiving messages from Wu Lifen and Zuo Feibai, they rushed here immediately.
Wu Qingshan heard Song Haiyun’s previous words clearly, and with a face full of displeasure, he shouted, “Old Song, you want to kill someone on my territory? I’m afraid I won’t let you have your way.”
Zuo Deyuan waved his sleeve, coldly shouting, “Old Song, looks like today’s battle is unavoidable? I must see how strong your Song Haiyun truly is!”
Seeing Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan appear so timely, Song Haiyun’s expression became more somber. Repeatedly unable to kill a mere Divine Thought Realm brat made his frustration reach the peak. If he didn’t vent this anger, he’d probably suffer internal injuries.
Facing the aggressive tone of Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan, Song Haiyun’s rationality was partly overwhelmed by his anger, his eyes flashed with immense killing intent, and his momentum soared as he clenched his dry fists.
Song Haiyun didn’t plan to engage in a mere aura confrontation like in Wu Manor; he wanted to truly fight Zuo Deyuan and Wu Qingshan in a battle.
Zuo Deyuan and Wu Qingshan, sensing the surging aura within Song Haiyun, also elevated their momentum, though deep down they didn’t want to fight Song Haiyun, as even if they joined forces, they lacked confidence in defeating him.
But now, this battle was almost unavoidable.
Looking at the imminent confrontation before him, Ye Chenfeng felt immense gratitude towards Zuo Deyuan and Wu Qingshan and vowed that once he gained absolute strength, he would repay them.
As for the spectators in the martial arena, upon seeing the three Nirvana Realm masters about to engage, they hurriedly left, knowing the combat between Nirvana Realm masters wasn’t a trivial matter — their lives could accidentally be endangered.
As for the disciples in the private rooms of various sects, they were much braver, with many intending to stay and witness the battle between Nirvana Realm masters.
“Wu Qingshan, Zuo Deyuan, today I’m determined to kill this brat! Let’s see how long you can protect him!” Song Haiyun glared at Ye Chenfeng, just as he was about to move forward to attack.
The ground of Sunset Island suddenly shook without any warning, and the frequency of the tremors was escalating.
A thunderous roar reverberated throughout Sunset Island.
In a distant sky, a radiant beam of seven-colored light shot up, illuminating the sky with absolute splendor.
Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan’s expressions slightly changed, clearly aware of the source of the seven-colored light. It emanated from a mountain range in the western part of Sunset Island.
At Sunset Island, the relic known only by Wu Qingshan, Zuo Deyuan, and Southern Yuan Dynasty’s ancestor Jiang Yunhu was located in that western mountain range.
But according to Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan’s calculations, that relic shouldn’t open for another five days, and never has such a commotion been caused during its past openings.
This time, not only did the relic open early, it caused such intense activities, making Wu and Zuo have a vague bad premonition.
The tremors on Sunset Island’s ground hadn’t ceased, and the beam of seven-colored light soaring into the sky transformed into a massive silhouette of a Qilin, emitting an exceptionally sacred aura.
At this moment, almost everyone on Sunset Island focused their gazes on the sky, many eyes brimming with fervent light, as this kind of celestial anomaly indicated that a treasure or relic at Sunset Island would be revealed, which was an opportunity cultivators couldn’t afford to miss.
The incorporeal Qilin pattern in the sky lasted for more than twenty seconds before dissipating.
Once the Qilin pattern in the sky disappeared, the people on Sunset Island gradually regained their composure from their myriad emotions.
Ye Chenfeng with the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, looked at the distant place where the seven-colored light surged. His brows slightly furrowed, faintly feeling as if some force or something there was calling out to him.
