Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yan’s words shocked the members of the Magic Cloud Mansion.

“Wan Qing Qing is working with Duan Ling Tian?!”

“The Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“Yun Yan, is it really Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Nether Mansion?”

A bitter smile appeared on Yun Yan’s face when he heard all the questions. “Apart from the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian, who else in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is capable of such a feat?”

The people on the scene inhaled sharply upon hearing Yun Yan’s words.

“Wan Qing Qing is actually working together with Duan Ling Tian? Although Duan Ling Tian’s speed is slightly slower than hers, he’s strong enough to breach the defenses of the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng!”

“In the past, Heng Feng’s defenses were only considered second-tier in the middle realm… However, after he comprehended the law of earth’s Defense Profundity, his defenses can be considered top tier!”

“That’s right! Even then, Duan Ling Tian managed to breach his defenses!”

“Wan Qing Qing makes up for his shortcomings and vice versa… It’s indeed smart of them to work together.”

“Their combined strength is enough to threaten those six people.”

For a moment, the elders and disciples of the Magic Cloud Mansion shifted their attention to the top six places on the scoreboard. The six people who occupied the top six spots had consistently maintained their ranks over the past few years. Over the years, there were people who joined forces, thinking they would be able to defeat the top six participants. Alas, none of them had succeeded. They wondered if this time Wan Qing Qing and Duan Ling Tian would be able to defeat any one of the top six participants by joining forces and break their winning streaks? They were eager to see the outcome. After all, the top six participants were not only strong, but they were mysterious as well.

“I wonder how they hooked up… After all, Wan Qing Qing is from the Martial Battle Mansion while Duan Ling Tian is from the Profound Nether Mansion.”

“What do you mean by hook up? They’re working together!”

“I thought I heard Wan Qing Qing was working together with Heng Feng before Heng Feng was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian? At that time, Wan Qing Qing managed to escape. Maybe they decided to work together at that time?”

“I don’t think so. When Duan Ling Tian was waiting outside the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base, Wan Qing Qing was nowhere to be seen. Maybe they ran into each other later on and decided to join forces.”

“I agree.”

It did not take long before news of Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing joining forces spread from the Magic Cloud Mansion to the other grade-six Celestial Mansions.

It did not take long before the top six participants in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm also received word about Wan Qing Qing and Duan Ling Tian from the higher-ups from their respective Celestial Mansions.

…

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

A lonely figure stood unmoving at the peak of a dangerous mountain ridge. The figure belonged to a handsome, tall, and well-built young man who was dressed in a long crimson robe. The wind flew against the robe, causing it to flutter in the air like blood rippling in the sky.

“Duan Ling Tian joined forces with Wan Qing Qing? Interesting…” The corner of his lips lifted up in a smirk as his eyes glinted.

,,,

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air. The surface of the calm lake was disturbed as a skinny figure shot out of the lake. The figure belonged to a good-looking young man who looked gentle like a scholar. A faint smile appeared on his face as he murmured, “Duan Ling Tian? Wan Qing Qing? I hope I run into them. I need some excitement after all.”

After he finished speaking, he left like a streak of light.

…

In the sky above a forest.

A figure descended domineeringly, frightening his opponent.

“Wang Tai, I surrender!”

Crack!

The frightened participant hastily shattered his Accumulative Point Jade.

“Hm?” The figure seemed divine as surging flames shrouded his body. He muttered to himself, “Junior Sister Qing Qing actually joined forces with the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian?”

…

In a cave on the wall of a canyon.

A figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed as though he was waiting for something or someone. The figure belonged to a young man dressed in a long grey robe. Strangely, despite his youthful experience, he had a head full of long white hair. Moreover, even his eyes were white.

Ding!

A soft sound rang in the air.

At some point, a coin had appeared in his hand, and he was flipping it.

After the coin landed accurately in his palm, he murmured, “It seems like I’m not fated to meet with Duan Ling Tian this month…”

He sighed softly before he closed his eyes again. It was clear he had no intention of leaving the cave.

…

“The Profound Nether Mansion disciple who killed Gongsun Jing teamed up with the Martial Battle Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing?”

In the sky above a field of ice, a black-clad young man who was flying suddenly came to a stop when he received a message. His eyes narrowed as he scoffed. “Even if you join forces with Wan Qing Qing, it’s useless. You’ll definitely die if we meet! Since the Profound Nether Mansion treats Duan Ling Tian as their hope, I’ll stomp out their hope.”

His eyes shone with killing intent as he continued on his flight.

…

“It would be great if I ran into Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing. Otherwise, I’d be bored…” A swift figure flew in the sky above a mountain range. His eyes brightened when he received news of Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing working together. “It would be boring to run into those five people. It’s not like they can eliminate me, and I can’t eliminate them either… They’re the only people I can fight without holding back. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be able to fight unreservedly with Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing as well! How exciting! I really hope I’ll run into them…”

…

Meanwhile, the Profound Nether Mansion was shocked when they received news about Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing’s collaboration.

“Duan Ling Tian teamed up with Wan Qing Qing?”

“They eliminated the Magic Cloud Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing… Why did Duan Ling Tian concede the points to Wan Qing Qing though?”

“As it turns out, this is the reason Duan Ling Tian’s points stagnated over the past two days… He must have given the points to Wan Qing Qing.”

“A hero always has a weakness for beauty… Even Duan Ling Tian isn’t an exception!”

Most of the elders and disciples were of the opinion that Wan Qing Qing was taking advantage of Duan Ling Tian. Regardless, they did not say much. After all, it was Duan Ling Tian’s choice. Moreover, even if he continued to concede points to Wan Qing Qing, his current achievement was more than enough to make the Profound Nether Mansion proud.

Meanwhile, Qi Tian Ming, an inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion, felt slightly exasperated when he heard this news. ‘Is that lad infatuated with the Martial Battle Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing?’

He was rather worried so he quickly sent Duan Ling Tian a message. “Lad, don’t forget your test! Wan Qing Qing isn’t human; who knows what intentions she harbors? It’s best if you can maintain a distance, lest she betrays you. Please don’t foolishly give up your points to her…’

…

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Old Qi…” Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded when he received Qi Tian Ming’s message.

He smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly.

Qi Tian Ming was unaware that he had joined forces with Wan Qing Qing quite a while ago, and if it were not for her, he might not have been able to eliminate Tan Yuan. Due to her information, he had successfully eliminated Tan Yuan. Therefore, he owed her a favor. How could it be considered as him foolishly giving up his points to her?

Now that he had given her Yun Yan’s points, he no longer owed her. This also meant the subsequent points they obtained would be distributed per their agreement.

At this moment, Wan Qing Qing’s Voice Transmission rang in his ears. “Word has gotten out that we’re working together.”

Both of them usually maintained quite a distance when they traveled. However, their Divine Consciousness was linked. In case of an attack on either one of them, the other would be able to make a move immediately.

“That’s not unexpected,” Duan Ling Tian replied through voice transmission. At this moment, his eyes narrowed as he stared ahead. It was as though he had sensed something.

Swoosh!

A figure shrouded in green energy was flying in another direction. However, when it discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence, it switched direction and made its way over to Duan Ling Tian immediately.

“Duan Ling Tian!!” the figure called out coldly. Based on its voice, the figure clearly belonged to a man. His speed was faster than Duan Ling Tian but slower than Wan Qing Qing. His speed was considered second-tier in the middle realm with the likes of the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan and the Magic Cloud Mansion’s Yun Yan.

The man’s eyes shone with killing intent when he appeared, blocking Duan Ling Tian’s path. His voice was cold as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, you managed to eliminate last month by sneaking an attack. Today, I, Liu Ji, will kill you to clear my reputation!”
