The moment I opened my eyes, the scene around me changed drastically.
The green mountains and clear waters disappeared, replaced by a bare valley with no grass at all.
After five years of seclusion, Wutan finally gained a thorough understanding of the confinement.
The prison is called the Nine Sorrows Prison. As the name suggests, it can trap all the strong men who have reached the Nine Calamities of Destruction.
Boom…
At the same time, there was a surge of wind and thunder in the sky.
This is a sign of the appearance of a heavenly calamity, but it is not Wu Tian who is going through it, but Han Tian and Di Tian!
After five years of training, the two could have broken through long ago, but seeing that Wutan had not woken up yet, they were afraid of disturbing him, so they suppressed their energy forcibly.
Now that Wutan has come out of seclusion, there is naturally no reason for them to continue suppressing him.
Di Tian opened his eyes, and beams of flame-like light burst out. He looked up at Wu Tian and said, "Send us to the Star Realm quickly."
Wutan nodded, and with a thought, the two of them disappeared in an instant. The dark clouds in the sky also quickly dissipated, and the thunder stopped.
"The Nine Sorrow Prison can only be broken by the Pseudo-Saint Overlord. Perhaps I should thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Wu Tian stood up, stretched out his hand in the air, and grabbed the forbidden talisman in his hand. There was a hint of coldness on his face, and his voice rang out in the Star Realm: "Sixth Brother, give me the recorded image."
As soon as he finished speaking, the void in front of him distorted, and a picture quickly emerged, followed by a conversation.
"Lu Jiyuan, Ji Boyun!"
Wu Tian muttered, his eyes flashing with cold light.
There was an old man and a young man in the picture. He naturally recognized the young man. It was Lu Jiyuan.
And after reading the memories of the three giants, he also knew that the old man was the law enforcement commander of the Xuan Palace in Ximing City, the ninth-level tribulation master, Ji Boyun!
But what he didn't expect was that the two were actually uncle and nephew.
The three giants don't remember this either.
However, analyzing from the conversation between the two, the reason why Lu Jiyuan condescended to come to the Huang Palace might be because of Leng Aoxue.
Swish!!
A moment later, Han Tian and Di Tian both appeared. They looked as bright and handsome as ever, but they looked rather haggard. It was easy to imagine that they had suffered some trauma under the heavenly calamity.
However, there is a powerful life function hidden in their bodies. It is probably because they swallowed a holy medicine after overcoming the tribulation.
As soon as the two appeared, they noticed the empty picture.
"I didn't expect that they have this kind of relationship. It's really interesting. It seems that Lu Jiyuan's name is also fake." A playful smile appeared on Di Tian's lips.
"Haha, you still want to carry on the family line? Today, this handsome guy will make sure you have no children or grandchildren!" Han Tian smiled evilly.
Di Tian said: "It will be no problem to make the Ji family extinct, but Ji Boyun is undoubtedly powerful. It may be difficult to kill him as well."
"It's not difficult at all." Wutan said coldly.
"What do you mean?" The two looked at him in surprise.
Wutan smiled without saying anything. He took out the messenger's order and sent the video to the woman in purple robe.
Di Tian suddenly realized, "I understand. The purple-robed woman is a heavenly soldier and controls everything in the Yellow Palace. If someone harms the Yellow Palace disciples right under her nose, I think she will definitely not sit idly by."
Wu Tian sneered and said, "Even if she sits back and does nothing, I have a way to make sure Ji Boyun never returns!"
"Let's go without further ado. The Centennial Competition has already begun. It's a good time to join in the fun and add some fun to the competition." Han Tianxie said with a smile.
…
Yellow Palace.
After a mess of ninety stages, it was almost coming to an end.
The three giants were extremely anxious and angry as they had not seen Wutan show up.
If Wutan showed up at this moment, the three of them would definitely surround him and beat him up regardless of their image.
However, none of the three showed up until the end of the first round.
The Palace Master said angrily: "It seems that the bastard boy really escaped with the treasure."
"Don't let me catch him, or else..."
The deputy palace master originally wanted to say something harsh, but when he thought of Wujitian’s fighting ability, he felt deeply powerless.
"Alas, this time we lost both the lady and the soldiers!" sighed the law enforcement commander.
Compared with the distress of the three giants, the gray-clothed old man Ji Boyun seemed particularly refreshed.
With a smile on his face, he glanced at the ninety victorious inner palace disciples on the arena, and looked especially at Lu Jiyuan and Leng Aoxue, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"You are all very good. Here are 900 royal healing medicines. Each of you can take one. Take it immediately, recuperate for half an hour, and then continue with the finals." Ji Boyun said.
"yes!"
Ninety arenas and nine hundred winners responded in unison.
Ji Boyun nodded and waved his hand. Colorful and steaming imperial medicines flew into the air like a meteor shower.
Seeing this, the outer palace disciples, law enforcers, and eliminated inner palace disciples were all envious.
For them, the imperial medicine is a miraculous elixir, and it is hard to get one!
"Tsk tsk tsk, nine hundred imperial medicines, he's really willing to give them away, Wu Tian, why don't we snatch them all from him, what do you think?"
Above the Nine Heavens, Wu Tian and the other two restrained their aura and stood in the clouds, looking down. Han Tian spoke with shining eyes.
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly. We don't know where You Hanyun is hidden. If we act now, Ji Boyun will be desperate and might hurt her."
"Yes, we can only wait for You Hanyun to appear and then attack like lightning." Di Tian echoed.
"I don't think You Hanyun will show up soon." said the Gold-Eating Rat.
After five years of training, its cultivation had reached the stage of heavenly perfection, and it was considered one of the strongest in the entire Fengmen City.
Di Tian said calmly: "Don't worry, Lu Jiyuan is a man who cares about his reputation. After he wins first place, he will definitely announce the good news of his marriage in public. At that time, You Hanyun, the bride-to-be, will naturally show up."
"Damn, you even took this into account, Di Tian. I really have to admire your intelligence." The Gold-Eating Rat looked at him with admiration.
“Actually, this is very easy to identify. You just need to observe carefully. It’s a pity that you are a little mouse who doesn’t like to be serious.” Di Tian said with a smile.
The gold-eating rat kept grinning, looking quite cute.
During the conversation, each of the nine hundred inner palace disciples had received a royal medicine. Then, under many envious gazes, they stuffed it into their mouths, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to heal their wounds.
Only Leng Aoxue and Lu Jiyuan did not take it, and chose to put the imperial medicine into their space bracelets.
Because before, they had not used their full strength and had not suffered any trauma.
A law enforcer squeezed out of the crowd, walked up to the Palace Master, whispered a few words in his ear, and the Palace Master's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You go down first."
The palace master waved his hand and the law enforcers retreated.
Then the palace master looked around and searched among the crowd.
"Palace Master, what are you doing?" The Deputy Palace Master asked in confusion upon seeing this.
The Palace Master explained: "You don't know yet, a few days ago I secretly told the law enforcers guarding the Yellow Palace's portal to notify me as soon as Gu Yi appears..."
The law enforcement commander asked hurriedly: "How is it? Any news?"
"Can you wait until I finish speaking?"
The palace master rolled his eyes at him, and the law enforcement commander smiled awkwardly.
The Palace Master continued, "Just now, the law enforcer came to tell me that Gu Yi, Han Tian, and Di Tian had entered the Yellow Palace not long ago. But what puzzles me is why they didn't show up? And I also looked for them in the crowd, but I couldn't find their presence at all."
"What the hell are these three bastards doing?" the deputy palace master said angrily, almost going berserk.
"No, you guys watch here and I'll go look for them. As long as they have entered the Yellow Palace, I'm confident that I can catch them." said the law enforcement commander.
"kindness."
The two palace masters nodded imperceptibly.
"Master Ji, I have something important to attend to, so I will take my leave for now."
The law enforcement commander found an excuse, bowed to Ji Boyun, and turned to leave.
Ji Boyun didn't suspect anything either.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The injuries of the nine hundred inner palace disciples have basically recovered.
Ji Boyun took a few steps forward, looking down at the nine hundred people like a king, and said, "It's the same as before, ten people in a group, the last one standing wins, let's begin!"
With one order given, the finals will begin immediately!
Han Tian frowned and said, "Is this the Huang Palace's centennial competition? This is too much of a joke!"
Generally speaking, the finals are held in a one-on-one format, so that the potential and strength of the disciples can be measured more clearly.
In other words, the free-for-all mode is only applicable to the first round of knockout matches.
But Huang Gong still used the same melee mode as in the first round. In this case, those who were assigned to the same arena as Leng Aoxue and Lu Jiyuan had no hope at all.
Even if nine people joined forces, they could not be a match for the two and would only suffer a crushing defeat.
The key point is that some of these defeated people may not be inferior to those who won other arenas.
There is no fairness at all in such a competition.
"Nothing in the world is fair." Wu Tian shook his head and said, "The personnel allocation for each major arena was discussed in advance by the three giants. In other words, the winners in the end are the ones they all unanimously favor."
"Then how are the rankings determined?" Di Tian was puzzled.
Wu Tian explained: "Whoever finishes the battle first will have a higher ranking. For example, Leng Aoxue, if she finishes the battle before the other eighty-nine arenas, she will be the first. On the contrary, if she finishes the battle last, she will be the last."
"That's not right. According to the current situation, there will be only ninety winners in the end. Aren't there always a hundred disciples entering the Xuan Palace every time? Where are the remaining ten?" Han Tian wondered.
Wu Tian said calmly: "This is the use of Ji Boyun. During the competition, he will pay attention to the status of each disciple, and finally select the ten most talented disciples from the defeated inner palace disciples."
Han Tian and Di Tian looked down and saw that just as Wutan said, Ji Boyun's eyes were always scanning the ninety-nine arenas.
"So you are here!"
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard.
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw the law enforcement commander coming through the air, his eyes filled with anger.
