"It seems my suspicions were correct, Ye Luo either has a powerful force behind him or a master whose strength reaches the heavens."

Mu Qingsong gazed at Ye Luo and Feng Tian on the stage, his eyes slightly narrowed, silently contemplating in his heart.

Upon witnessing this scene, Cao Wuheng’s expression also slightly hardened, a glint flickering in his eyes, yet no change could be discerned on his face.

"Who exactly are you?" Ji Mo’s eyes had now become somewhat unsightly and grave as he looked at Feng Tian, who had defeated four experts of the Saint Realm sixth level with a single move, and he did so with such an air of nonchalance.

That strength was at least that of the Saint Realm seventh level or even the eighth level, but how could there be such a formidable expert in the secular world? Could he be a person from the Hidden Sect, and if so, why would he help this youngster?

Could it be...

Thinking of something, Ji Mo’s expression suddenly changed as he looked at Ye Luo. Could this guy be a disciple of some Hidden Sect force? But Ji Mo’s expression quickly returned to normal, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain.

Even if the youngster was a disciple from a Hidden Sect force, so what? His own son was the proud disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Yuheng Pavilion of the Seven Stars Pavilion, and the Seven Stars Pavilion was a super-first-rate force within the entire Hidden Sect.

Only a few other super-first-rate forces could contend with it, and all other forces were insignificant in comparison, hence this youngster definitely couldn’t be from one of those few super-first-rate forces.

However, he must now deal with this guy, or else facing Ye Luo would truly be troublesome. Ji Mo was well aware of his son’s temperament; having suffered such immense humiliation today, he would definitely not let Ye Luo off the hook.

With this in mind, his gaze turned to Seven Stars Pavilion Yuheng Pavilion Pavilion Master Xu Ruobai, who had remained silent below the stage, obviously intending to have him take action.

Feng Tian, upon seeing Ji Mo’s gaze towards Xu Ruobai, also had a look of slight concern.

"Pavilion Master, shall we?"

At this moment, the four white-robed men standing behind Xu Ruobai spoke up again, clearly ready to make a move. After all, Ji Lingtian was a disciple of the Yuheng Pavilion, as well as a direct disciple of the esteemed Pavilion Master. Now faced with such an incident, as members of the Yuheng Pavilion, they naturally wanted to intervene.

"You four just need to stop that man, as for Ling Tian’s matters, let him solve them on his own," Xu Ruobai said indifferently, showing no hint of joy, anger, sorrow, or delight.

"Yes, Pavilion Master!"

The four nodded, their eyes sweeping towards the masked Feng Tian, and with a leap, they appeared in front of him like lightning. The might of the Hua Yuan Realm directly enveloped their opponent, causing Feng Tian’s complexion to change.

All four were Hua Yuan Realm experts. If it were the Feng Tian from five years ago, he would not care in the slightest, but now his strength was only at the ninth level of the Saint Realm.

Although a part of his True Qi had transformed into True Yuan, he had not fully stepped into the Hua Yuan Realm. Facing the might of these four men from the Hua Yuan Realm was somewhat difficult to withstand, suddenly making it hard for him to move.

"Pavilion Master Xu, do you intend to violate the Hidden Sect’s rules by meddling in mortal affairs?" Feng Tian couldn’t help but look towards Xu Ruobai and speak.

"I have not meddled in mortal affairs. How can you say that? Given your strength, you must not be a common mortal either. I simply want you also not to meddle in these mortal matters. Let them handle their own issues," Xu Ruobai said with an indifferent expression, his voice as calm as water, reasonable and irreproachable, causing Feng Tian’s complexion to change again, his look becoming somewhat anxious as he gazed at Ye Luo.

At the same time, he pondered what method he could use to help Ye Luo; after all, Ye Luo had given him a chance at new life, and naturally, he couldn’t just stand by and watch the other die.

"Kid, I am going to make you completely useless!"

And at that moment, Ji Lingtian finally made his move. Carrying the immense might of the Saint Realm, he rushed at Ye Luo and threw a vicious punch directly at his Dantian, intent on completely crippling Ye Luo’s cultivation and reducing him to a cripple.

Seeing this scene unfold, many in the audience showed a hint of sighing and compassion in their expressions. Women like Leng Ruobing, Situ Luoyun, and Qin Yuru were exceedingly nervous and uneasy.

However, Ye Luo remained calm, his demeanor resolute and his eyes free of fear. Facing Ji Lingtian’s attack, he was not without means to defend himself.

As long as he activated the Eight Feet Mirror, Ji Lingtian’s strength at the fourth level of the Saint Realm wouldn’t be able to harm him. But he did not want to reveal the Eight Feet Mirror in front of so many people. Not to mention others, just with the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion present, he dared not casually take out the Eight Feet Mirror.

After all, according to his understanding, even among the super first-rate powers of the Hidden Sect, there were only a few King’s Tools in existence. These King’s Tools were absolutely coveted treasures in the Hidden Sect.

Even masters of the Spirit Sea Realm and Controlling Qi Realm who knew of the existence of a King’s Tool would definitely seize it the moment they could. If he revealed the Eight Feet Mirror and the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion recognized it as a magic artifact, he wasn’t sure if the other party would snatch it. It would really be terrible then, so he absolutely couldn’t take out the Eight Feet Mirror unless it was a critical moment.

Imperial Dragon Art—Earth Dragon Seal!

Ye Luo muttered to himself, his hands forming the signs of the Imperial Dragon Art, evidently preparing to use the power of the Imperial Dragon Art. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This powerful cultivation technique had been his biggest trump card ever since he obtained it from the Imperial Jade Seal. Each time he used it before, it greatly amplified his attack power.

Ever since he got the Lingyun Sword, he had seldom used this technique, but now he was deploying the Imperial Dragon Art again, and this time, it drained all the True Qi from his body, transforming it into the Earth Dragon Seal!

Streams of Nine Yang True Qi turned into black Dragon Shadows, and with a loud dragon chant echoing in all directions, they exuded an incredibly terrifying majesty that shook all beings. Now, with Ye Luo’s increased strength, the power of the Earth Dragon Seal was even greater.

"This... this is a secret technique of the Dragon Pavilion, how is this possible?"

Seeing the black Dragon Shadow in the void, the previously composed Xu Ruobai of Yuheng Pavilion showed surprise, his eyes revealing a hint of amazement.

Even Cao Wuheng’s complexion changed, and Feng Tian, along with the four Yuheng Pavilion disciples standing on the stage, all had their expressions shift at the sight of the Dragon Shadow in the void.

All the guests in the banquet hall were astounded by this unbelievable scene.

Among them, Ji Lingtian was the most shocked, his pupils dilating as he watched the majestic Dragon Shadow, utterly astonished.

"Earth Dragon Seal—Break!"

Ye Luo urged the Dragon Shadow formed by the Earth Dragon Seal to attack Ji Lingtian. The latter reacted instantly, unleashing all his strength in a punch directly at the Dragon Shadow, and the void immediately exploded.

Boom—

Ji Lingtian’s full-force punch collided with the Dragon Shadow created by Ye Luo at his fullest power, unleashing a fearsome energy wave. True Qi ripples spread out like tidal waves, destroying everything on the stage.
