Huang Nian, Xu Meng, Zhang Dahai, and others were all blasted out of the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion by Lu Chengde.
Under Lu Chengde’s outburst, no one could withstand it.
Many disciples smashed onto the ground, feeling utterly miserable.
Only Huang Nian and a few others managed to steady their forms, but their faces were extremely pale, showing that they too were in distress.
Huang Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent spilling from his heart.
No one had expected Ye Xuan to suddenly appear, bringing Lu Chengde with him.
Even more unexpectedly, Lu Chengde actually listened to Ye Xuan and directly blasted them out.
"Damn it, once I become the chief disciple tomorrow, the first thing I’ll do is settle things with this guy!" Xu Meng cursed aloud.
"Let him be arrogant for one more day today, we’ll settle the scores tomorrow!" Zhang Dahai also said somberly.
"Don’t worry, the position of the chief disciple tomorrow is definitely mine," Huang Nian coldly swept his gaze over Zhang Dahai and Xu Meng.
"Just with you?" Xu Meng and Zhang Dahai both scoffed and turned away, shouting: "If previously we thought you were somebody, but after those nonsense you’ve been studying recently, we think you’re just a fool!"
Saying this, both laughed and left.
"Brother..." The disciples following Huang Nian were infuriated by the taunts of Xu Meng and Zhang Dahai, but they dared not say anything, only looking towards Huang Nian.
Huang Nian waved his hand and sneered, "Let them be arrogant for a bit longer; they’ll know my strength tomorrow!"
"And Ye Xuan, once I become the chief disciple, I definitely won’t spare you!"
"Brother, let’s go back," Wen Lin was calm as he spoke softly.
"Yes, let’s return," Huang Nian no longer wasted words and chose to turn around and leave.
Today’s events weren’t over, but with Lu Chengde present, they dared not act rashly.
Ye Xuan had already entered the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion and met with Zhou Youwei.
After bringing Ye Xuan and Zhou Bingyi to the place, Lu Chengde left the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion.
The Emperor Immortal Sect was currently busy with many matters. Only because Ye Xuan had ordered it was Lu Chengde able to come.
"You’ve reached the Seventh Layer of Earth Element?"
Upon meeting, Ye Xuan sensed Zhou Bingyi’s cultivation.
Zhou Youwei nodded slightly, speaking softly, "I just broke through yesterday."
Seventh Layer of Earth Element, this can already be considered as top-tier among princes!
Generally, those under the Third Layer are considered new princes.
From the Fourth to Sixth Layer, they belong to the mystic princes.
From the Seventh Layer to the peak, they belong to the top-tier princes.
The previously vanquished five princes by Ye Xuan are not included in this list because their realms had surpassed Earth Element, but they still belonged to the princes within Lie Tian Heavenly Country, hence they were called senior princes.
"It seems you might have a chance to reach the peak of Earth Element before the exchange conference," Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
The cultivation speed of the Dual Divine Body was already astonishing and coupled with the Great Emperor Immortal Skill that Zhou Youwei was cultivating, it became even more remarkable.
"What are your plans for tomorrow’s battle?" Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan and asked softly.
"What else can I do? Sister, you don’t know, Ye Xuan has been hiding in the Qi Bamboo Forest and eating barbecued meat these days," Zhou Bingyi spoke first.
"Eating barbecued meat?" Zhou Youwei was a bit puzzled.
Since the day she returned from Xuanyuan Peak with Ye Xuan, she had been cultivating in the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion and was completely unaware of this matter.
"Don’t worry, you’ll find out tomorrow," Ye Xuan smiled slightly, not saying much else.
"Find out what?" Zhou Bingyi rolled her eyes, said irritably: "But it doesn’t matter, with your strength, even if you’re not the chief disciple, you have nothing to fear from those guys."
She had previously witnessed Ye Xuan’s capabilities; even the vice president of the Spiritual Boat Association had to bow down.
Although Yang Jinchun, Huang Nian, and others were considered geniuses of their generation, trying to compete with Ye Xuan was still too naive.
With his own strength being secure, being the chief disciple wouldn’t make a difference.
After all, Ye Xuan had another identity that stood clear.
Hearing this, Zhou Youwei also felt somewhat relieved.
Indeed, as Zhou Bingyi had said, Ye Xuan’s personal strength was evident, so they had no fear of what those people might do afterward.
However, regarding tomorrow’s duel, neither of them had any confidence.
After all, the disciples Ye Xuan had chosen were not very strong; the gap in their hard strength was there and it was basically impossible to win.
"Rest well, tomorrow’s duel isn’t important. The exchange conference a few days later is what’s really important," Zhou Youwei consoled softly, taking Ye Xuan’s hand with a tender look in her eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, sis, I’m still here!" Zhou Bingyi watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but widen her eyes and scold softly.
Zhou Youwei, who had finally mustered up some courage, instantly lost it and quickly withdrew her hand, her face flushed red.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said annoyed, "You still know it’s not good for you to be here, why don’t you hurry up and scoot?"
"Ye Xuan you jerk, I knew I shouldn’t have brought you here!" Zhou Bingyi exclaimed angrily.
After saying that, she stormed out.
But after a while, she ran back in again.
"What’s up?" Ye Xuan asked with a half-smile.
"Grandpa Lu’s gone, how am I supposed to get down?" Zhou Bingyi said with a face full of grievance.
"I’ll take you back to Emperor Peak," Zhou Youwei volunteered, stepping forward gracefully and leading Zhou Bingyi out of the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion.
"You’re leaving me here alone?" Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes again.
"I’ll take her back and then come over," Zhou Youwei said, her pretty face slightly flushed.
"That’ll do," Ye Xuan nodded.
"Show-off!" Zhou Bingyi glared at Ye Xuan, snorted proudly, and left.
A gradually twisted smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face.
Then, Ye Xuan waited all night and Zhou Youwei didn’t return.
At Emperor Peak, Zhou Bingyi kept holding onto Zhou Youwei, not letting her leave, and the sisters slept together that night.
Zhou Youwei loved her sister and seeing Zhou Bingyi keeping up her coquettish behavior, she went along with Zhou Bingyi’s wishes.
This really made Ye Xuan suffer.
First thing in the morning, Ye Xuan blurted out a curse.
"This little sister-in-law really needs a lesson," Ye Xuan muttered.
With his smarts, he could easily guess whose idea this was.
"Never mind, my wife is still young, I’ll take it slow," he comforted himself inwardly.
But now, it was time to head to the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Today was the day of the duel.
The Mystic Ice Cave Mansion stood on the waist of a steep peak, surrounded by cliffs with floating white clouds everywhere, completely obscuring the view below.
Ye Xuan stood on the edge of the cliff, his eyes calm, and suddenly leapt forward.
He soared high, plummeting directly towards the ground below.
Just then, a sharp cry came, filled with urgency.
"Hmm?" Ye Xuan couldn’t help but turn his head to look.
A sword light struck, followed closely by a fragrant breeze. Ye Xuan stopped his fall and instead flew upwards.
"Youwei," Ye Xuan saw who it was and couldn’t help but smile.
"Ye Xuan, what were you thinking? I was wrong for not coming yesterday, but you shouldn’t do something so foolish!" Zhou Youwei’s stunning face was filled with self-reproach and anxiety as she scolded Ye Xuan.
"What?" Ye Xuan was momentarily confused, then said, "I was preparing to go to the Heavenly Dao Academy."
"Huh?" Zhou Youwei was stunned and incredulously said, "You weren’t trying to kill yourself?"
"Who’s trying to kill themselves?" Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes, wondering what was going through this girl’s mind.
"As long as you’re not committing suicide, that’s good," Zhou Youwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the intense worry on Zhou Youwei’s face, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Truly a woman deeply in love, always so foolish."
"I’ll take you to the Heavenly Dao Academy," Zhou Youwei summoned her Flying Sword and carried Ye Xuan, speeding towards the Heavenly Dao Academy.
With Zhou Youwei steering the sword, the journey was much faster.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Heavenly Dao Academy.
"Huh, so many people," Ye Xuan looked down at the Heavenly Dao Academy, surprised by the crowd dense like ants below.
"Most disciples from the nine peaks must have come..." Zhou Youwei whispered.
"Let’s go, we’ll head down," Ye Xuan said.
All these people came just to see who the new Chief Disciple was.
Too bad, they were destined to be disappointed today!
