The journey to the Evil Spirit had been anything but peaceful. The dark-eyed Evil Spirits seemed to see them as a feast, eager to approach and take a bite.
For some inexplicable reason, they had become the guardians, with Hei Shijiu leading the charge while Yun Zhi Yue and the others stood by without lifting a finger. The name "Evil Spirit" was quite explosive, yet the only remarkable thing about this place was a peculiar well.
The only unusual aspect was that the well emitted black smoke, occasionally spewing out Evil Spirits that clawed and flailed about. It wasn't that Yun Zhi Yue wasn't serious; rather, the sight of the well made her absurdly think of a gas-exiting orifice. The Evil Spirits being expelled looked somewhat like vomit—surely she wouldn't have to dive in there?
The answer was affirmative. Morning Dawn stood at the edge of the well, ready to jump in, looking expectantly at her as if asking who would go first. Hei Shijiu's expression was grave as he pledged his loyalty: "Duchess of the Underworld, Hei Shijiu will guard the well, waiting for your return to ascend to the position of Ming Hou and receive the worship of the spirits of the underworld."
Yun Zhi Yue felt distressed: "Actually, I would prefer to be the Underworld King." Under Hei Shijiu's wide-eyed stare, she took a leap but did not enter the well.
Xian Kong chuckled lightly: "Of course, being favored by Song Huai means one harbors great ambitions." The wheelchair vanished, and Xian Kong stood up and jumped in, followed by Little Loli Morning Dawn.
Yun Zhi Yue faced an early setback, being forced into the realm of Evil Spirits while Yun Shijiu began a new journey on this side.
With the Sixteen Clans competition concluded, the top five chose to undergo trials in Batwing Clan's domain. Originally, the candidates were Zhao Yue from the Dragon Clan in first place, Xuanwu Clan's Xuan Hui Hui in second, Ying Yu Clan's Wang Zhu in third, Batwing Clan's Fu You in fourth, and Han She Clan's Yun Shijiu in fifth.
After Zhao Yue was killed by the Heavenly Emperor, they were left with one less candidate. Yun Shijiu insisted on bringing Han Xi along to fill the gap. This led to discontent among the sixth-ranked clan; Wang Zhu also protested, claiming that if Yun Shijiu could bring his wife, he could bring his fiancée Ying Ying as well.
Before they even reached Batwing Clan, internal strife erupted within their group. Both Wang Zhu and Yun Shijiu proposed a fight—whoever won would lead. As for the sixth-ranked individual, he had already been knocked back home by both of them.
Currently, both were at the Celestial Realm Pinnacle level; it was hard to predict who would win or lose. Ying Ying stood atop Wang Zhu's head flaunting her power, flapping her arms like wings and making slapping sounds against his head while her mouth ran wild.
"It should have been me going! Han Xi is hiding something; you can't fool my eyes! If you go in there, it's cheating! This isn't a one-on-one; it's a three-on-one! You’re just being unreasonable!"
Yun Shijiu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to retort but was pulled back by Han Xi.
With an icy demeanor and under the watchful eyes of the Emperor, she calmly countered: "You don’t even qualify; you can’t even manage a three-on-one. You’re not even considered a person—at most, you’re just a pet."
Yun Shijiu stared in shock at Han Xi. Was this the cold, beautiful ice queen of the Han She Clan, Shaozongzhang?
When they had been in bed together, he hadn't seen her display much emotional fluctuation; she would just curse at him!
Ying Ying was furious. It pained her to be ridiculed like this. In a fit of anger, she was about to expand her body again, but was suppressed by the Tide Emperor.
Enough! You were the one who spoke so offensively first; it's only natural to be poked at your heart. If you want to go, then go. The Batwing Clan Leader will have something to say about it.
The Dragon Phoenix Clan is competing fiercely, and the heavens will surely fall into chaos. You all need to seize the opportunity to grow stronger during this trial; only then can you face the storms without fear. Off you go!
A vast surge of spiritual power swept through like an ocean, and several young figures vanished into thin air.
