Later, Yao Yue and Ye Mo, with one in the front and another staying behind, started to search for demonic beasts.

“Those demonic beasts have all been influenced by the Primordial Shenrui Blood so their reproductive capacity is very strong,” Yao Yue said. “Their defense and power are better than other beasts. Even the weakest beasts here will have power in the Profound World Realm.”

When Yao Yue was introducing the demonic beasts to Ye Mo, a very loud booming sound came from a place in the distance. Immediately, they looked for the source.

In the mountains, big chunks of land started to collapse. The ground exploded into pieces.

Four shadows, floating in the air, were fighting fiercely.

Boom Boom Boom Boom!

The fight between the four people was so powerful that the mountains around them were leveled in seconds.

Other castellans nearby were all staring at the fierce fight in the sky. They tightly grasped their weapons with their hands as if they might join the fight at any moment.

“It’s already begun?” Ye Mo looked at the sky nervously and his breath became more rapid. It had only been about three minutes and the fighting had already begun. But the competition would last for 3 months.

“Yes. Maybe it’s just the first day, but, in our district, many castellans will be wiped out today,” Yao Yue said. “Some weak ones will be killed or pushed out of the competition area. So the survivors will be the strongest of the strong.”

“Come here, there are two guys who’re weaker than us. Let’s just kill them first!”

Two people were talking behind Ye Mo. Ye Mo and Yao Yue instantly realized they were talking about them. They quickly turned around and looked at the two people.

Between the two, one had Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm cultivation and the other one was a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert.

Both of them were rather muscular, with giant broadswords in their hands. They were both aggressive and had a very clear division of the fight. In no time, they dashed toward Yao Yue and Ye Mo.

Castellan versus castellan, deputy versus deputy. That was the convention.

The muscular man with the Profound World Realm cultivation level held his broadsword tightly as he rushed to Ye Mo. A steak of blinding sword rays flew toward Ye Mo.

“Hey, look at that! The Cosmos Realm expert is under attack. Let’s take a look from here. I’m curious about his tricks.”

“Alright. But his reaction just now doesn’t look like he’s pretending. Maybe he isn’t a Cosmos Realm expert?”

“A Cosmos Realm expert joining this battle would definitely be in disguise. Be patient and watch the fight first. Let’s see if he can defeat that Mid-grade Profound Realm expert.”

Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao hid to one side, staring at Ye Mo closely.

Ye Mo, noticing the attack from the hideous muscular man, smiled coldly. The man was just a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert with such pitiful power. To Ye Mo, he was no more powerful than an ant.

Even if he were a High-grade Profound World Realm expert, Ye Mo could easily take him down with one attack.

Whoosh!

In a flash of the sword ray, Ye Mo jumped into the sky and dashed over like lightning. In a second, the giant broadsword in the muscular man’s hand broke in half.

And then, with a burst of blood, the muscular man’s head was rolling on the ground.

Ye Mo was able to end his opponent’s life with just one attack, but Yao Yue wasn’t powerful enough to do that.

The two Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm experts were still fighting fiercely. And Ye Mo couldn’t find the right timing to join in the fight, so he stood aside and watched. He was waiting for a chance, a small mistake that the opponent made. When the time was right, he would give this man a “closing attack” and help Yao Yue to defeat him.

On the other side, Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao were deeply afraid after seeing Ye Mo behead his opponent.

“That’s… that’s… He killed that Mid-grade World Profound expert with just one attack,” Hu Yidao said, terrified.

If they still had some doubts about Ye Mo’s cultivation before, after that terrifying scene, their doubts were laid to rest. They believed that Ye Mo couldn’t just be a Transcendence Seventh Realm expert. Otherwise, he could never kill a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert like that with one attack, one clean and clear attack.

“Big brother, what’s he waiting for? Why doesn’t he just kill that Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert now?” Hu Erdao asked in surprise watching Yao Yue and the other muscular man fighting.

“Stupid! Such a powerful man came to this battle with castellan Yao Yue and hid his power from everyone. Why? The only reason is that he wants to help Yao Yue with her cultivation. If that’s the case, naturally, he won’t help Yao Yue right now, because he expects Yao Yue to cultivate more through the fight,” Hu Yidao said confidently.

“Big brother, why don’t we give them a hand now? He has no idea that we’ve already figured out he’s a Cosmos Realm expert. So, if we could be friends with them or even team up with them, our battle would be easy-peasy then,” Hu Erdao asked.

“Erdao, when did you become so smart? If we befriend a Cosmos Realm expert, who would dare to touch us?” Hu Yidao complimented his brother and pulled out his broadsword. ” Erdao, let’s fight!”

The twins’ movements were almost identical. Two sharp blades were shining and dancing on the sky, piercing the air and rushing to the muscular man.

Such an unexpected twist caught Ye Mo completely off guard. In a blink, with two sword rays flashing, the head of the muscular man fighting with Yao Yue was cut off.

Yao Ye was shocked and confused watching the muscular man’s head flying away.

Instantly, the blood burst out like a fountain. Yao Yue cast out her ice technique and froze the blood.

“Aren’t you guys Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao?” Looking at the two brothers, Yao Yue walked toward them slowly and cupped her hands to them. “Thank you guys for the help.”

“You got it, you got it. As the old saying goes, ‘at the sight of injustice, draw a sword and render help’. We’re just doing what’s right!”

The two brothers waved their hands and cracked a big smile at Ye Mo.

“At the sight of injustice, draw a sword and render help?”

Listening to this old saying, Ye Mo found it quite funny. This was the Battle of the Thousand Cities. Nobody would draw a sword and render help at the sight of injustice, unless there was an advantage in it for them.

Ye Mo immediately thought of a reason, and that reason was Yao Yue.

Ye Mo dragged Yao Yue behind him and said angrily, “What are you guys up to? Yao Yue is my woman! You’d better back off.”

Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao thought that Ye Mo misunderstood their intentions and thought they wanted to badger with his cultivating partner Yao Yue. They instantly explained in fear, “Brother, how could it be possible that we want to take advantage of Castellan Yao Yue? We just wanted to give her a hand when we saw she was in trouble.”

Ye Mo loosened up a little when heard them explaining in such a sincere tone, He cupped his hands and said, “Then thank you guys very much. Let’s go!”

As Yo Mo was speaking, he dragged Yao Yue to the other side.

“Hey, brother. Why don’t we go together? We could watch out for each other. What do you think?” Hu Yidao said in a hurry when he saw Ye Mo leaving.

“Together?” Ye Mo asked suspiciously. “You two are Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm experts. Why on earth would you want to team up with us? Aren’t you afraid of us slowing you down?”

“You’re so good at pretending, my friend. We already know that you’re a Cosmos Realm expert. It should be you afraid of us slowing you down,” Hu Yidao murmured to himself, then said, “My brother, it is true that our power is quite strong. And we’re also confident of defeating a High-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert working together. But, usually, there will be another deputy castellan fighting us together. Therefore, if the four of us fight, hand in hand, our team could be even more outstanding.”

Hu Yidao had his speech for a long time. And it turned out to be very persuasive.

“Alright then, let’s go together!” Ye Mo and Yao Yue agreed to his suggestion after listening to Hu Yidao’s analysis.

In such a cruel battle, many cultivators were going to die. Even though Ye Mo and Yao Yue could fight together, their odds of survival were still quite limited. Therefore, if they teamed up with the twins, their power would be much stronger.

Even if they couldn’t trust them completely, Hu Yidao and Hu Erdo could still be useful.

Hu Yidao and Hu Erdo were secretly thrilled when Ye Mo agreed to team up with them.
