"Alright, alright, stop talking, I don’t want to hear it. What do you want to do, anyway? This old man is right here." Liu Wuxie was completely defeated by Ye Lingtian’s words; he had never seen anyone cultivate to the God Emperor Realm like him.

"I just want to ask, who exactly are you, sir?" Ye Lingtian said.

He had wanted to fight Liu Wuxie earlier, but if he lost here, wouldn’t he lose a lot of face? Only after clarifying Liu Wuxie’s identity and background could Ye Lingtian feel at ease.

Hearing Ye Lingtian’s words, Liu Wuxie said:

"Why are you like this? Didn’t I say I’m from Jidao Imperial Court? Let me put it this way: even if the entire Jidao Imperial Court is fake, I am real. Do you believe me now? If you don’t believe me, you can ask our Extreme Dao Emperor Lord. As for my name, how should I put it, even if I tell you, you might not believe it, so it’s better if I just don’t say it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, Ye Lingtian, on the contrary, looked troubled. He didn’t know what to say, so he turned his head and looked at Changtian, who was standing nearby. Changtian, seeing Ye Lingtian turn his head, also nodded in acknowledgement.

At this moment, all the disciples from the Five Great Imperial Courts who were watching were stunned. Soon after, they began to discuss again.

"What exactly is going on? Look at the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord’s reaction, and the words spoken by that old man from Jidao Imperial Court. I’m completely confused."

"I’m confused too. The intricacies here are truly diverse. I don’t know what to make of it either."

"Don’t just talk about yourselves; I dare say that even the other Emperors are completely bewildered."

...

Everyone in the audience had something to say, but they were all whispering to each other, not wanting their words to be overheard by others.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that. I believe you. However, today’s competition will be postponed by one day. Alright, all Imperial Court members, you may disperse. We will fight again at this time tomorrow." After Ye Lingtian announced this, he directly walked away, completely disregarding the opinions of others, giving off a commanding air.

Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Martial Ascendancy Sovereign also followed suit, leaving the main stage in a hurry. Seeing this scene, Changtian knew that anything he said would be useless. He looked at Primal Origin Emperor, who was standing opposite him.

"It seems Primal Origin Emperor also doesn’t want this competition season to end like this, does he?" Ye Lingtian said.

Primal Origin Emperor nodded. In his opinion, it didn’t matter who failed; it had nothing to do with him anyway. He just needed to be a tool that couldn’t be manipulated.

A day of competition was canceled just like that, all because of Liu Wuxie’s presence.

Half a day later, in Jidao Imperial Court.

Changtian slammed the table and said:

"I knew that Ye Lingtian had no good intentions; he actually wanted to play dirty. It really infuriates me! If I had known, I would have just laid all the cards on the table and let him lose all the face he had accumulated in front of others."

Listening to Changtian’s angry voice, the expressions of the few people present varied.

Liu Wuxie sat on the chair and said:

"It’s fine. As long as this old man is here, my good disciple won’t suffer any harm. If anyone is to blame, it’s that little fellow from Tiandao Imperial Court who doesn’t know his limits."

Li Meng’er, knowing she had narrowly escaped death, quickly said to Liu Wuxie, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life. If you hadn’t been here, I probably would have either had my cultivation crippled or died directly."

Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Liu Wuxie was very gratified. He now deeply regretted his past intention to take Li Meng’er’s life-destiny.

Looking at Li Meng’er speaking to him, he felt very guilty, so he spoke:

"Well, actually, Master didn’t know at first that fellow had any bad intentions towards you. It was only after Wang Yufan reminded me that I found out. That fellow was going to harm you, so I think you should thank Wang Yufan."

Hearing her Master speak highly of Wang Yufan, Li Meng’er was a bit speechless.

"Master, why are you mentioning him? He’s a big bad guy, and I’m not going to thank him. Do you really think he was kind enough to remind you? I don’t believe it," Li Meng’er said.

Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Liu Wuxie looked at Li Meng’er with a strange gaze. As the saying goes, if one doesn’t speak, they won’t die, but if they do, they’ll shock others to death. The next moment, Liu Wuxie said in front of several elders of Tiandao Imperial Court and Changtian, "I think you might like Wang Yufan, aren’t you?" Hearing her Master say such words, Li Meng’er’s face instantly turned crimson.

How could she like Wang Yufan? Wang Yufan was just a bad person, who didn’t help his disciple when she was in trouble and even abused her. Thinking about it, Li Meng’er felt that Wang Yufan was a bit terrifying. But then she thought about how she had encountered many things during this period, and it seemed that after meeting Wang Yufan, things had indeed become easier and simpler.

"Master, I don’t like him," Li Meng’er tried to say, her voice gradually fading. The people from Tiandao Imperial Court exchanged glances, feeling that Li Meng’er was a good match for Wang Yufan.

Although Li Meng’er was wearing a mask, the elders present were all in the True Immortal Realm, so seeing through Li Meng’er’s mask was effortless.

Li Meng’er saw the strange gazes of several people directed at her, and in an instant, her small face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Liu Wuxie very seriously said to Li Meng’er:

"I believe you’ve been with Wang Yufan for some time, and you should have a general understanding of what kind of person he is. He is indeed someone you can entrust your life to. It’s been many years, and I haven’t seen a woman by his side. My dear disciple, you are the first. So, as your Master, I hope you can seize this opportunity.

As long as you seize this opportunity, your future growth path will be limitless. When I first met Wang Yufan, he was already in the God Venerable Realm. And now, after so many years, I’m still clueless about how terrifying his strength has become, but one thing is certain: he absolutely far exceeds our imagination."

Hearing her Master give such a high evaluation of Wang Yufan, Li Meng’er knew that this was not unfounded. Li Meng’er herself was very confused about whether or not she had fallen in love with Wang Yufan.

She didn’t know how to face her inner thoughts. She originally thought Wang Yufan wasn’t that great, and although he looked decent and was powerful, Li Meng’er wondered if he had any other strengths.
