The news that Yan Chu, a disciple from a second-rate force, had eliminated a genius from the Sacred Heart Region spread. Some people were happy, while others were sad.
Those who were unhappy were the higher-ups of the first-rate forces and the higher-ups.
The second-rate forces were supposed to be used as a testing ground for their disciples, but now, a disciple from a second-rate force had shown his prowess. Regardless of whether the person who had been eliminated was a genius from their own force, it was hard for them to accept.
Especially the first-rate forces whose geniuses had been eliminated, such as the higher-ups from the Demon-Slaying Hall, all looked gloomy.
Although the higher-ups from the second-rate forces were not very happy, they were still happy to be able to hold their heads high.
After all, the other party had arranged an elimination test before the Genius Pageant, and they had treated the disciple they valued as a testing ground in the Antiquity Relic. How could these higher-ups, who had always been in high positions, feel good?
Now that there was news that a disciple from a second-rate force had eliminated a disciple from a first-rate force and even a disciple from the Five Major Regions, they could not help but be secretly happy.
The only pity was that the famous disciple was not from their own force. Otherwise, it would be even more surprising.
However, there were always exceptions. Among the second-rate forces, there were always people who heard such news, and their faces darkened.
This person was the elder from the Divine Heavens Sect, the number one second-rate force.
Similarly, his disciples all looked gloomy when they heard the news, and they could not accept it for a long time.
After a long while, someone shouted coldly with resentment in his voice. "What kind of luck is this? He actually made it to this stage!"
"He is so arrogant. Let's see how long he can last!"
They did their best to vent their anger and resentment because they were envious of Ye Xiwen's battle record of defeating the pride of the Sacred Heart Region.
When they thought of the Heaven's Secrets Sect disciple, who they could have easily killed not long ago, they did not do it for some reason and allowed him to slowly make it to this stage, how could they feel at ease?
Naturally, the Deputy Sect Leader of the Heaven's Secrets Sect, Zhu Yun, was also feeling emotional.
At this moment, there was a slim figure of a woman standing beside Zhu Yun. She was quite eye-catching.
The slim figure was Luo Xue.
In fact, when Luo Xue had been eliminated not long ago, Zhu Yun had thought that this was the limit of the Heaven's Secrets Sect disciples. However, not long after, a genius from the Demon-Slaying Hall was eliminated, and he even said that he had been eliminated by Yan Chu.
Such news already made Zhu Yun extremely shocked. However, not much time had passed and yet another prided disciple from the Sacred Heart Region had been eliminated by Yan Chutian. This caused Zhu Yun's originally shocked heart to be ruthlessly hammered once again.
A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on Zhu Yun's face when he finally accepted this fact.
From the looks of it now, even though he had already realized that he had underestimated Yan Chutian, he had still underestimated him.
According to his strength, which was enough to eliminate the Sacred Heart Region's Heaven Prides, it was likely that he now had the ability to fight with the top Heaven Prides — the young masters of the five major regions.
However, it was also because of this that he couldn't help but secretly worry. Yan Chutian's display of strength was very likely to cause the dissatisfaction of the disciples of the first-rate forces.
At that time, no matter how strong he was, it would be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands!
Beside Zhu Yun, Luo Xue couldn't conceal the shock on her pretty face. Now that she had heard the news about Yan Chutian, she didn't have the indifference she had when facing ordinary matters.
As she gradually returned to normal, she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, and her red lips parted slightly as she softly muttered to herself.
"Good luck!"
…
Ancient Ruins, Mysterious Flame Sacred Palace.
In the dilapidated building, Yan Chutian sat cross-legged as he circulated the Mysterious Yang Condensation Qi. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask Yan Ningzhu about the specific situation.
Hearing this, how could Yan Ningzhu hesitate? She also recovered and immediately told him everything.
After knowing all the news, Yan Chutian's face gradually became solemn.
As Yan Ningzhu had said, there were too many top Heaven Prides gathered at the top of Dragon Peak, and they were all fighting for the Five Element Bead.
In the mysterious palace deep inside the peak, she had separated from Qiu Yu and obtained a fire bead by chance. That was why she was chased by Shen Qing.
The moment Yan Ningzhu's voice fell, Yan Ningzhu unscrupulously displayed the fire pillar in front of Yan Chutian.
It was a fist-sized round light bead, and there was a lotus-like flame slowly burning inside. It was truly strange.
After glancing at the fire bead, Yan Chutian withdrew his gaze, and he didn't have the slightest intention of possessing it. Because compared to the opportunity that the Five Element Bead might contain, Qiu Yu's safety was obviously more important to him.
If Qiu Yu unleashed all her strength, perhaps all the Heaven Prides present wouldn't be her match even if they joined forces.
However, unleashing one's strength would come at a huge price. And that price was something that Mu Wan's body couldn't bear. Therefore, Yan Chutian had repeatedly warned her not to act rashly.
Therefore, how could Yan Chutian not be anxious in his heart? He was worried whether Qiu Yu was safe and sound, and whether she had used strength that exceeded what Mu Wan's body could bear!
Therefore, Yan Chutian didn't even have the intention to recover. He immediately asked anxiously, "Miss Yan, where is the entrance to the mysterious palace on the peak?"
Seeing this, Yan Ningzhu looked deeply at Yan Chutian. Even though she was worried about Yan Chutian's current situation, she understood even more clearly what Yan Chutian was worried about.
Therefore, she didn't say anything unnecessary and immediately pointed to the entrance.
Before Yan Chutian left, she forcefully stuffed the fire bead into his palm and said faintly, "I can't help you now, but this fire bead might be useful. Also …"
"Okay."
Yan Chutian didn't have time to listen to anything else and had already left in a flash.
Yan Ning Zhu, who hadn't finished speaking, could only look at his back. She muttered to herself to finish what she had wanted to say.
"Also … I've been waiting for you here …"
…
He quickly rushed towards the entrance that Yan Ningzhu had pointed out. A moment later, a huge cave that seemed to lead to the depths of the earth appeared before his eyes.
With Yan Ningzhu's information, Yan Chutian already knew that this huge cave was the entrance to the mysterious palace underground. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and immediately jumped into the huge cave.
The cave had an ancient aura. Along the way, Yan Chutian had already seen many traces of activity. Of course, there were also many corpses.
But now, Yan Chutian was no longer in the mood to care about these. He pressed forward and flashed past at an extremely fast speed.
Right now, he urgently wanted to see Qiu Yu safe and sound. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would go crazy.
However, after going deep for a long time, he still didn't see a single living person, let alone a trace of Qiu Yu.
Even in the depths of the huge cave, there were very few traces of activity. The dark space was filled with an oppressive ancient aura, causing people to feel uneasy.
Seeing such a situation, Yan Chutian quickly regained his senses. After regaining his senses, he finally realized that he was too anxious. It was fine if it was elsewhere, but here, how could he still be like this?
Furthermore, he had to believe in Qiu Yu. With Qiu Yu's ability, even if he didn't use all of his strength, he wouldn't put himself in danger.
In the past, when he was in the Heaven Realm, he had fallen into a dangerous situation a few times. Wasn't it because of Qiu Yu that he was saved?
After constantly reminding himself, Yan Chutian finally calmed down. Then, he opened his Spirit Core and carefully scanned every inch of his surroundings.
Under such a sweeping gaze, he finally discovered that this place was different from the places he had been to before. The large cave was extremely humid. Even the air was filled with a thick layer of moisture.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was unremarkable, but Yan Chutian was very sensitive, not to mention that he had a Spirit Core.
Therefore, Yan Chutian consciously walked towards the source of the moisture. At this time, the role of his Spirit Core became more and more obvious. If it was an ordinary cultivator, how could it be easy to distinguish the difference in humidity? Only the Spirit Core could be so meticulous.
After advancing for an hour, the humidity in front of him became denser and denser. Even on the ground, there were puddles of various sizes.
But it was also at this time that Yan Chutian finally noticed that there was movement in front of him.
"There's someone!"
With that thought, Yan Chutian quickly lowered his voice and tried his best to restrain his aura. Only then did he slowly walk towards the source of the movement.
Half a quarter of an hour later, when Yan Chutian cautiously probed out his line of sight, he saw several figures treading on the waves of a bottomless lake ahead.
In the center of these figures, there was a fist-sized round bead floating up and down.
