Yue Qi found a spot to sit down.
Tianhu Elder let out a sigh of relief. "The rules for this competition are the same as before. The number plates you hold will be randomly matched, and the selected numbers will determine the battles. Each participant must compete at least once a day, and only one person will remain in the arena. Rankings will be based on the last standing clan. Now, everyone take your positions and begin drawing your number plates."
The crowd returned to their respective clan lines, their gazes uncontrollably drawn to Yun Zhi Yue, who was resting on Suye Emperor's knee. Despite having heard rumors about Yun Zhi Yue's scandalous affair with the Heavenly Emperor, witnessing it so openly stirred a sense of curiosity among the onlookers.
It seemed that Yun Zhi Yue was the one being protected rather than the one seducing the Heavenly Emperor. With Suye Emperor shielding Yun Zhi Yue, Yun Shijiu let out a breath of relief, but at the same time, a surge of anger boiled within him. That damned Yue Qi had actually hurt his sister; he was still too weak.
While others avoided looking directly at the scene, only Yun Shijiu's fierce gaze made it hard for anyone to ignore him.
Ji Wei chuckled softly. "This child has quite a bit of courage; even the clan leader couldn't see his true nature."
"He is of the human race, my younger brother recognized by my Dimension. His talent is strong but nothing special; there’s no need for Clan Leader Ji Wei to concern himself," Yun Zhi Yue replied, opening her eyes.
Ji Wei's gaze flickered slightly. "A human? He certainly doesn’t look like one."
"He is indeed human, though he has been altered by the Reincarnation Stone from the Underworld, infused with a significant amount of divine beast bloodlines. He can’t be considered purely human anymore."
"The Reincarnation Stone? Isn't that the Soul Artifact of the King of Hell? It's said to control the Cycle of Reincarnation and lead one into the Imperial Realm. A Soul Artifact so powerful indicates that the King of Hell's strength is immeasurable."
Hearing Ji Wei say this, Yun Zhi Yue smirked. "Of course, the King of Hell is historically the strongest in the Underworld; it's only natural for a Soul Artifact to lead one into the Imperial Realm."
"So there’s internal strife in the Underworld? Are you part of the Underworld Party? One Hall has sentenced you to Qian Han Prison, which means there are others behind One Hall and Yan Luo Mi Yin. If Dian Hei Shi wants to help delay your punishment, Ming Yin Yan Luo must be siding with the King of Hell."
"If the King of Hell were in charge, there wouldn’t be such internal discord. It’s likely something has gone awry, perhaps even affecting the slumbering Soul Artifact, Reincarnation Stone. You apprenticed under Li Shang Di Jun; do you have intentions to evade this internal conflict?"
Yun Zhi Yue fixed her gaze on Ji Wei, her expression inscrutable.
Heaven knows she merely praised the King of Hell once, yet he managed to extract so much information from it—truly an old fox.
Seeing her expression directed at him, Ji Wei chuckled lightly.
People from the Underworld rarely took action outside; this clan leader had always been curious about this internal strife, and now it provided an opportunity to glimpse inside.
As she observed two clans already engaged in battle in the arena, Yun Zhi Yue felt compelled to speak up.
"There’s nothing to be curious about; wherever there are people, there will be conflict. The Underworld cannot escape this truth."
"I heard that Feng Rujiao's father is about to enter the Imperial Realm; it’s likely that after this, the Phoenix Clan will want to attack the Underworld. If they can achieve great merit, it would certainly bolster their standing."
The time has come for the Sixteen Great Clans to inevitably fracture. Even a clay figurine, when seated for too long, will develop ambitions; let alone a Phoenix. Will the Thirty-Six Heavens also begin to experience internal strife, leading to another division?
Su Ye pinched her head and said, "Don't speak with such schadenfreude; you are from the Celestial Realm too."
Yun Zhi Yue chuckled.
If I can't hide from Wujie, then it's over. While you all enjoy the spectacle of the Underworld, the Celestial Realm is also starting to heat up. Suye Emperor is fine on his own, but the Celestial Fox Clan cannot escape. Will the Ji Clan Leader stand with the Heavenly Emperor or the Heavenly Queen?
If it truly comes to that, this clan leader can still choose later. Let's watch the grand competition; there will be plenty of outstanding individuals among the thousand participants.
This clan leader remembers Zhao Yue, who was taken as a disciple by the Heavenly Emperor over five hundred years ago. It seems he also has a Mu Zhi Hybrid.
