Five months later.
In the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
The safe zones were in an uproar as the news spread.
"Heavens! The Dao Scholar Profound Sect's true disciple, Yan Ru Yv, eliminated Tang Ping Shan from the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect? "
"Ever since Tang Ping Shan ranked first in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he hasn't been eliminated before, right?"
"Tang Ping Shan is a peerless prodigy from the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect. He has comprehended three profundities from the law of thunder to the rudimentary stage. How could he be defeated?"
"Did Yan Ru Yv from the Dao Scholar Profound Sect grow quickly, or did he conceal his strength? He actually eliminated Tang Ping Shan! "
"From today onward, Tang Ping Shan's legend will be shattered. Yan Ru Yv will become a peerless prodigy in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!"
…
Tang Ping Shan, a disciple of the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect, was a peerless prodigy who had dominated the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm for many years.
However, he was eliminated today.
He was eliminated by the Dao Scholar Profound Sect's Yan Ru Yv.
Yan Ru Yv was no stranger to those in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm since he was a true disciple of the Dao Scholar Profound Sect and ranked in the top ten in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Most importantly, Yan Ru Yv was younger than Tang Ping Shan. Today, he had defeated Tang Ping Shan and ascended to the top.
From today onward, the news of him defeating Tang Ping Shan would spread like wildfire in the Southern Heaven Territory.
Somewhere in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
A young man stood in the void. He wore a white robe and had a handsome appearance. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked extraordinarily scholarly. His temperament was outstanding and he had an elegant demeanor.
"Congratulations, you've gotten what you wanted and defeated Tang Ping Shan … I, Chen Li, am truly blessed to have a friend like you in this life!"
The refined young man smiled when he received the message. Then, he sent a Voice Transmission to Chen Li. "Chen Li, how's the investigation going? Is Duan Lingtian who's currently ranked 13th in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion? The target of the mission that was canceled 30 years ago? "
The refined young man was none other than Yan Ru Yv who had just defeated Tang Ping Shan, a true disciple of the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect.
Yan Ruyu was also a childhood friend of Chen Li, the son of Chen Yuanshan, the deputy leader of the Blood Skull.
If one were to ask who Yan Ruyu cared about the most in this world, it would be Chen Li.
"Yes! According to Hei Sha, the sectless cultivator who was eliminated by Duan Lingtian, the Duan Lingtian in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion."
"I can't believe he's already a Three Talents Celestial King. Moreover, he even has the strength to defeat the Black Fiend. According to the Black Fiend, although Duan Lingtian is only a Three Talents Celestial King, he has comprehended many profundities from the law of space to the initial stage."
Chen Li replied via voice transmission.
"Where's the woman by his side, Huan 'er? Have you found anything? According to my guess, the reason why he was able to enter the top 20 was because of that woman. Otherwise, it's impossible for a Three Talents Celestial King like him to have such a brilliant result in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. "
Yan Ruyu continued to send messages to Chen Li.
"That woman is very mysterious. She only appeared in the Profound Nether Mansion 30 years ago. Prior to that, she had a close relationship with Duan Lingtian in the borderlands.
At that time, she was already stronger than Duan Lingtian. "
Chen Li replied.
"Both of them are monstrous geniuses. If it weren't for your testimony, I would've suspected that there's something wrong with the Blood Skull Gang's intelligence network."
Yan Ruyu sighed with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Initially, he had thought his innate talent was shocking.
However, his innate talent was nothing compared to Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er's innate talent.
Duan Lingtian had just turned 100 years old, but he was already a Three Talents Celestial King and had comprehended many profundities from the law of space to the initial stage.
Huan 'er was not even 100 years old, but she was already a Six Combos Celestial King and had comprehended many profundities from the law of space to the initial stage.
"Although the mission to kill Duan Lingtian has been canceled, if you encounter him, I hope you can kill him for me!"
Chen Li continued to say, "I won't be able to calm down until he's dead!"
"Don't worry."
Yan Ruyu said confidently, "If I encounter him, he'll definitely die!"
"I heard there's a new person in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm who's ranked in the top ten?"
Chen Li asked, changing the topic.
"That's right."
Yan Ru Yu replied, "That person is called Zhang Jin Yi, and I don't know where he came from … After he entered, all the people that were eliminated by him died at his hands, and no one knows his background."
He's very mysterious.
Moreover, he's very strong. Even Tuo Ku, a true disciple of the Bodhi Zen Sect, was killed by him. "
A hint of fear could be seen in Yan Ruyu's eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.
"Tuo Ku? Tuo Ku, the true disciple from the Bodhi Zen Sect who has comprehended three profundities from the law of earth to the initial stage and is said to have the strongest defense in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? "
Chen Li inhaled sharply. "Rumor has it that even Tang Ping Shan wouldn't be able to kill Tuo Ku if he insists on crushing his Identity Jade Token and leaving."
"That person called Chen Jin Yi … Where did he come from?"
Although Chen Li had only heard of Tuo Ku, he was familiar with Tuo Ku since Yan Ruyu was familiar with him.
"Even if I'm confident I can kill him now, I won't be able to stop him if he insists on leaving," Yan Ruyu said.
Chen Li nodded.
"If you say that … doesn't it mean that Zhang Jin Yi's strength is not below yours? In fact, he's stronger than you? "
Chen Li sucked in a breath of cold air again.
"It's not impossible. However, there's another possibility. Tuo Ku didn't know Zhang Jin Yi and was killed by him due to his carelessness.
Yan Ruyu made her own judgment. "If that's the case, then his strength might not be comparable to mine."
Regardless, the fact that he's ranked in the top ten means he's quite strong. "
Yan Ruyu continued to speculate.
…
In the Profound Nether Mansion.
In the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.
"You're ranked 13th and 15th. Why didn't you stay in the upper realm and enter the top ten as soon as possible? There's still a month left. "
The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion asked in confusion as he looked at Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er who had just been transported out of the upper realm.
"Something's not right."
Duan Lingtian shook his head with a grim expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
The old man asked.
"Four months ago, a person called Zhang Jin Yi suddenly appeared in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. It's as though he appeared out of thin air. Before that, nobody had heard of him or knew of his existence."
No one knew about him, "Duan Lingtian said in a deep voice," Currently, he's ranked fourth on the scoreboard. Even Tuo Ku from the Bodhi Zen Sect, who was said to have the strongest defense in the upper realm, was killed by Zhang Jin Yi.
Although it's possible Tuo Ku's death was due to carelessness, it's highly unlikely. After all, before Zhang Jin Yi killed Ta Ku, he had already reached ninth place in the rankings. "
Duan Lingtian's expression turned grim when he finished speaking.
"So?"
The old man asked again.
"I suspect Zhang Jin Yi is from the Phantom Fox Clan."
Duan Lingtian replied.
"The Phantom Fox Clan?"
The old man frowned before he shook his head decisively. "It's impossible for such a person to exist in the Phantom Fox Clan.
What if he's not from the Phantom Fox Clan's branch in the Southern Heaven Territory? What if he's from the main Phantom Fox Clan outside the Southern Heaven Territory? "
Duan Lingtian said boldly, "With the convenience of the Transporting Formation, even if he's from the main Phantom Fox Clan, he should be able to travel to the Southern Heaven Territory in a short time."
"The main Phantom Fox Clan? You're saying he's from the Heavenly Territory in the Seven Upper Province? "
The old man's eyes widened.
"Although I'm not certain, it's possible. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?
It's someone who hasn't appeared in the upper realm before, and his surname is Zhang. "
Duan Lingtian suspected Zhang Jin Yi was from the main Phantom Fox Clan. After all, Zhang Jin Yi's speed of accumulating points was much faster than his and Huan 'er's. Therefore, he decided to leave the upper realm in advance.
He and Huan 'er did not plan to enter the top ten.
Once the rankings were reset, he would enter the secret realm with Huan 'er.
Even if Zhang Jin Yi was from the main Phantom Fox Clan, since he was ranked in the top ten, the secret realm he would enter would be different from the secret realm he and Huan 'er would enter. Therefore, he did not have to worry about encountering Zhang Jin Yi.
Although Huan 'er and Huan' er were not weak, they would only be able to enter the top ten at most.
Based on Zhang Jin Yi's performance so far, even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for him.
"Now that you mention it, it's true that we have to be on our guard … I really didn't expect that a kid like you would have such a high level of comprehension and have such a good brain."
Even the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion was convinced by Duan Lingtian's words.
…
In the Phantom Fox Clan's estate in the Southern Heaven Territory.
"Duan Lingtian and the woman by his side have left the upper realm through the Transporting Formation?"
Zhang Dong Nan who had just received a message could not help but frown.
After Zhang Yun Ting's death, Zhang Dong Nan's son had been lurking in the safe zone to monitor the Transporting Formation. He had finally found Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er to leave the Southern Heaven Territory.
Therefore, he immediately sent a message to Zhang Dong Nan.
"Zhang Jin Yi refused to enter the upper realm under an assumed name. Now, it seems like Duan Lingtian is suspicious of him."
