Chapter 1131: Chapter 1033: Lan Hushan’s Surprise

"The Palace Master wants to come out ahead of schedule?"

Wu Zetian was taken aback.

It’s unsure how Chen Xiaoli’s secluded training is going, but if she comes out, Yang Tian and Wu Zetian will have trouble here.

After all, Chen Xiaoli is a Divine Spirit from the Demon Realm, not someone ordinary people can oppose.

"The matter of Lan Huling is very serious. If things go wrong, the entire Butterfly Race could be in crisis. The Palace Master’s emergence at this time provides us with reassurance!"

Lan Humei remarked, then looked at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian felt a bit uneasy under Lan Humei’s gaze. Was she going to ask for his service again?

As if knowing what Yang Tian was thinking, Lan Humei chuckled and said, "You don’t need to be nervous; I’m not in the mood to have you serve me now. You two have come from the Purple Butterfly Palace and need to participate in our martial arts competition."

"Martial arts competition?"

Wu Zetian looked nervously at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian gave a look, indicating Wu Zetian not to worry.

He looked seriously at Lan Humei: "We’ve escaped from the Purple Butterfly Palace. We don’t want them to know we’ve defected to the Blue Butterfly Palace, so we hope you can keep it a secret for us."

"Join the martial arts competition first, and we’ll talk after."

Lan Humei gave Yang Tian and Wu Zetian a glance, then walked out.

The so-called martial arts competition was just a small-scale contest within the Blue Butterfly Palace, without participation from other palaces.

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian followed Lan Humei to the Central Martial Hall.

The hall was as large as a football field.

The Butterfly Race is a strict hierarchical tribe; the highest is Chen Xiaoli, followed by ten elders, whose seclusion whereabouts are unknown, and then a hundred elders overseeing affairs in the five great halls.

Below the elders are the Admirals.

The woman who appeared to be about twenty-five and met Yang Tian previously was an Admiral named Lan Hushan.

Each Admiral manages about a hundred Butterfly Demons.

Lan Humei is under Lan Hushan’s management.

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian followed Lan Hushan to the eastern area of the competition, where a woman stood in front of them, none other than Lan Hushan. She looked at Yang Tian and Wu Zetian arrogantly and waved, "You two, come out."

Wu Zetian was a bit nervous.

Yang Tian gave her a look and stepped forward.

"You’ve escaped from the Purple Butterfly Palace, but we don’t accept useless people, so in a moment, I’ll send you up. If you can win three matches, you’ll qualify to join our ranks. Any objections?"

Lan Hushan spoke in a high-handed tone.

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian exchanged a glance and quickly nodded, "No objections."

"Very well, if you qualify, you will be part of our Blue Butterfly Palace!"

Lan Hushan said coolly.

After speaking, Lan Hushan walked to the martial arts platform along with other Admirals to receive the instructions from about twenty elders.

These twenty or so elders are the main leaders of the Blue Butterfly Palace, comparable to Martial Emperors in the Human Realm.

Quickly, Lan Hushan returned.

Yang Tian approached and quietly said, "Lord Admiral, we’ve escaped from the Purple Butterfly Palace and are afraid they’ll discover us here, so if we win three matches, we ask Lord Admiral to keep our secret, allowing us to serve you with more peace of mind!"

"Oh?"

Lan Hushan’s beautiful eyes settled on Yang Tian, her thoughts unknown, before she nodded after a long pause, "If you win three matches, I will keep your secret and allow you to stay in the Blue Butterfly Palace forever!"

"Thank you, Lord Admiral!"

The martial arts competition soon began.

There are more than twenty Admirals in the Blue Butterfly Palace. Each selects opponents through a lottery ceremony, then sends a martial artist from their respective teams to perform.

The martial stage is large and can be divided into ten small combat zones.

The first round was a duel between Lan Hushan and someone named Lan Hujiao.

Lan Hujiao sent a young girl around twenty to the stage, while Lan Hushan sent Yang Tian: "The opponent is an expert in Butterfly Traceless Technique; don’t let me down."

"Rest assured, Lord Admiral; I won’t disappoint you!"

Yang Tian said seriously.

He then walked onto the martial platform.

"Go, Lan Hutian!"

The cheers erupted from the hundred young girls behind him.

Yang Tian looked around and saw the competition was full of delicate girls, except for the twenty elders, who were around thirty; the others were under twenty-five, with the main force being seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.

These girls were transformed from butterflies.

But in fact, at the beginning of Hongmeng, cultivators in the Demon Realm had come from the Human Realm. They have both human and demon forms.

In the Demon Realm, they often cultivate in their demon form.

In the Human Realm, they adapt to the Spiritual Breath by appearing in human form.

"It’s truly a Women’s Country!"

Yang Tian muttered inwardly.

"Let the duel begin!"

The voice of an elder resonated.

Yang Tian looked up but didn’t see his opponent, frowning slightly.

Soon, he felt a gush of Demon Breath surging towards him, after which the surroundings fell silent, and everyone appeared motionless.

Even the fights on other martial platforms came to a halt.

A cold gleam flashed in his eyes: "Is this the legendary Butterfly Traceless Technique?"

"Impressive, despite my Butterfly Traceless Technique being in effect, you’re still so calm!"

A sweet voice rang out.

Yang Tian turned and saw a girl floating behind him.

The girl wore a striking red cloak.

Quickly, the girl transformed, her body shattering into countless blue butterflies, flying towards Yang Tian as beautiful music played.

Listening closely, Yang Tian felt a bit dazed.

He knew this was the Butterfly Traceless Technique at work.

He steadied himself with a vibration of his Divine Sense, regaining clarity, waiting to see what the girl intended.

In front, Demon Breath condensed, and the butterflies gathered, forming a handsome young man.

The young man exuded charm, though he stood naked.

Yang Tian could only laugh inside.

He understood the essence of the girl’s Butterfly Traceless Technique.

She intended to attack the mind with beauty. First dousing him in music-induced stupor, then presenting a handsome figure — undeniably lethal.

But she miscalculated.

Yang Tian was a man!

He shook his head, stepped forward, and struck with a palm.

Boom!

With a crashing sound, the girl flew off the stage, and the surroundings returned to their normal pace, revealing shocked expressions all around.

Lan Hushan stood up, "My heavens, someone actually broke through the Traceless Technique! Even if all the Admirals went up, they wouldn’t break this, only elders might contend, but now, Lan Hutian just shattered it?"
