After the people from the various mansions and forces returned to their respective mansions, noon finally arrived.
"It ended earlier today. I'm already looking forward to the Seven Mansions Banquet tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, Wang Xiong will challenge Duan Lingtian!"
"Although I know Wang Xiong will definitely win, I still want to see Duan Lingtian in action. After all, he's a monster from a Devata Realm, and he's not even 3,000 years old!"
"If you didn't mention this, I would've forgotten. Duan Lingtian is only 3,000 years old. As for Wang Xiong, he's more than 8,000 years old. Compared to Duan Lingtian, he has a huge advantage in terms of age! "
"Well, it can't be helped. Why didn't Duan Lingtian be born a few thousand years earlier? Generally speaking, it's not that there aren't any monstrous geniuses around Duan Lingtian's age, but they haven't grown up yet. They haven't even entered the stage of a low-level Divine Emperor so they're not qualified to participate in the Seven Mansions Banquet! "
…
Since the people from the various mansions and forces had nothing better to do, they began to gossip.
From the beginning to the end, they talked about the two main characters of tomorrow.
Wang Xiong.
Duan Lingtian.
As for the others, only Lin Yuan was mentioned occasionally. Moreover, they felt Han Di would most likely admit defeat if Lin Yuan challenged him tomorrow.
Time also quietly passed by as they discussed.
In just a blink of an eye, night had fallen.
…
In the temporary residence of the people from Chunyang School.
In a spacious courtyard, Yang Qianye stood in front of a table. An old man sat behind the table. He was Yang Qianye's master, Yuan Hanjin.
Yuan Hanjin sat in front of the table and waved at Yang Qianye with a smile on his face. "There's only the two of us here. There's no need for you to be so reserved.
"Qianye can just stand."
Yang Qianye looked at Yuan Hanjin calmly and said.
Upon seeing Yang Qianye's reaction, Yuan Hanjin did not mind. He knew Yang Qianye's personality had changed after the great incident. At the same time, he did not insist. "You did well this time.
I'm very satisfied with your ranking in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Banquet. My father is very satisfied as well.
"When we return this time, the Ping Sheng lineage will spare no effort to nurture you!"
"In addition, my father, who is also your Grandmaster, will also apply for resources from the Sect to nurture you so that you can catch up to that Duan Lingtian and even surpass him!"
"He's ahead of you now, but that doesn't mean he'll always be ahead of you."
"At the very least, I think you can surpass him."
"At that time, you can avenge your childhood friend and kill him. Perhaps, at that time, you'll have the ability to kill Long Qingchong, the Clan Leader of the Tianlong Clan."
Yuan Hanjin smiled.
As soon as Yuan Hanjin finished speaking, Yang Qianye immediately added, "I just received news that Long Qingchong is dead."
Obviously, Yuan Hanjin didn't expect Yang Qianye to say something like that.
His first reaction was to reveal a look of astonishment.
His disciple already knew about this?
After all, he only found out so quickly because of his father.
It was his father, Yuan Ping Sheng, the Patriarch of the Chunyang School's Ping Sheng lineage, who had personally gone to the Tianlong Clan and killed Long Qingchong, the Clan Leader of the Tianlong Clan.
His father had done this to prevent Yang Qianye from becoming a 'wolf' who would kill his master.
"As expected, he knew!"
Yang Qianye naturally noticed the shock on Yuan Hanjin's face. At the same time, he was even more certain that Yuan Ping Sheng was the one who killed Long Qingchong, the Clan Leader of the Tianlong Clan.
His purpose was to cover up Yuan Hanjin's crime.
"How did you know about this?"
Yuan Hanjin asked.
"Master, have you forgotten that I'm from the Ten Thousand Devil Sect? Many people from the Ten Thousand Devil Sect are in the Tianlong Clan, right?"
Yang Qianye asked rhetorically.
Realization dawned on Yuan Hanjin when he heard this. "For a moment, I did forget about this."
In fact, Yang Qianye had rarely contacted the Ten Thousand Devil Sect since his father's death. Moreover, the people he was familiar with from the Ten Thousand Devil Sect who had joined the Tianlong Clan had basically all died.
The few who did not die had long lost their Soul Marks in their Soul Orbs as time passed, and they could no longer communicate with each other.
However, Yuan Hanjin did not know about this.
"Master, do you know about this too?"
Yang Qianye asked.
Just now, Yuan Hanjin acted as if he did not know about Long Qingchong's death. Otherwise, he would not have told Yang Qianye that Yang Qianye would kill Long Qingchong to avenge his father.
"Of course I don't know."
Yuan Hanjin also came back to his senses at this time and realized that his reaction just now was a little excessive. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I just heard you say that he died, so I was stunned for a moment … I really didn't expect that he would die before you killed him."
"It seems that he has offended many people."
"Do you know how he died?"
Yuan Hanjin asked curiously. There was indeed curiosity on his face and in his eyes.
However, he did not know that his behavior was a little too pretentious … At least, in Yang Qianye's impression of his master, even if he was very curious about something, he would not show such an expression.
"I heard that he was killed by force in the Tianlong Clan."
Yang Qianye said indifferently.
"Killed in the Tianlong Clan?"
Yuan Hanjin was shocked. "Doesn't that mean that the person who killed him did not fear the Tianlong Clan's great protective formation?"
"Yes."
Yang Qianye nodded. "According to my Ten Thousand Devil Sect elders in the Tianlong Clan, the Tianlong Clan's great protective formation is not something that can be ignored even by a lower god emperor."
"Only a god emperor or above has the ability to enter the Tianlong Clan and kill the tianlong Clan's clan master under the threat of the tianlong Clan's great protective formation!"
Yang Qianye said.
"Middle god emperor?"
Yuan Hanjin raised his eyebrows and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "It seems that the Tianlong Clan's clan master, Long Qingchong, was also a fool … He even dared to provoke a middle god emperor, so he deserved to be killed in his own clan!"
As his voice fell, Yuan Hanjin looked at Yang Qianye and said, "You wanted to kill him to avenge your father, but now that he is dead … Do you feel that you have no more goals?"
"When I first heard that Long Qingchong died, I felt that way."
Yang Qianye nodded. "However, after a while, I remembered that I still have an enemy, Duan Lingtian … So, I am still very motivated to become stronger!"
While saying this, Yang Qianye was saying something else in his heart. "My goal is you, Yuan Hanjin!"
"Before you, Yuan Hanjin, die, as long as I, Yang Qianye, have a breath, I will not stop my footsteps to become stronger!"
Of course, although Yang Qianye hated Yuan Hanjin to the core, he did not show it on the surface. This was because he knew that the moment he exposed himself, Yuan Hanjin and his father would definitely make the first move.
He was not afraid of death.
However, he did not want to die in the hands of Yuan Hanjin and his son.
Even if he had to die, he wanted to die in the hands of others after killing Yuan Hanjin and his son.
"That's good."
Yuan Hanjin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "I was worried that you would lose your motivation after knowing that the person who killed your father had died … Now that I hear you say this, I'm relieved."
"Very good. You did not disappoint me."
The current Yuan Hanjin had a kind expression on his face.
If it was the Yang Qianye of the past, he might have been happy with Yuan Hanjin's encouragement.
However, at this moment, there was only hatred for Yuan Hanjin left in the depths of his heart. When he saw Yuan Hanjin's hypocritical attitude, he felt extremely disgusted.
"Alright, you can go back and rest."
"Tomorrow, let's see how your enemy is defeated."
Yuan Hanjin looked at Yang Qianye and said with a faint smile. It was as though he could not wait for Duan Lingtian to be defeated by Wang Xiong and not be able to win first place.
However, Yang Qianye only replied with a 'yes' before he left.
Would Duan Lingtian lose?
Thinking of this, although Yang Qianye was not very optimistic in his heart, when he thought of Duan Lingtian's calmness and composure when facing Duan Lingtian, he could not help but be slightly shaken.
"However, it is indeed very, very difficult for him to defeat Wang Xiong."
Yang Qianye thought to himself.
The current Yang Qianye was only thinking of killing Yuan Hanjin and taking revenge for his father.
As for Duan Lingtian …
As of now, he really did not see Duan Lingtian as an enemy.
…
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for most people.
As the Seven Prefectures Banquet gradually came to an end, many people felt a sense of loss …
When the Seven Prefectures Banquet had just started, many people felt that the process of the Seven Prefectures Banquet was slow and hoped to enter the later stages of the ranking battle as soon as possible.
However, now that the ranking battle had really come to an end, they all felt that time had passed too quickly.
Or rather, the Seven Prefectures Banquet had progressed too quickly.
"Let's go."
Early the next morning, when the Chunyang School students gathered, they also saw Ye Chenfeng, who they had not seen for a day. They only saw Ye Chenfeng look at everyone, greet them, and then lead the way to the Seven Prefectures Banquet.
"Where is Duan Lingtian?"
Liu Feng Gu asked. He did not see Duan Lingtian, and at the same time, he also noticed that Zhen Pingfan was not there.
However, he was more concerned about Duan Lingtian.
As for Zhen Pingfan, he might have already gone there.
"He will come with nephew Zhen later."
Ye Chenfeng said.
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Liu Feng Gu did not say anything more. As long as Duan Lingtian could arrive in time, it was fine … Moreover, if Duan Lingtian really did not have the confidence to secure first place, it did not matter whether he was there or not.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng Gu felt relieved.
Among the other people from Chunyang School, many people thought that Duan Lingtian was going to forfeit.
According to the rules of the Seven Prefectures Banquet, if the challenged person did not show up within fifteen minutes, it would be considered as admitting defeat …
"Duan Lingtian is not here yet?"
When the people from Chunyang School and the host of the Seven Prefectures Banquet, Elder Lin Donglai of the Flame Howl Sect also arrived, the people from the various prefectures who had yet to see Duan Lingtian looked as if they had discovered a new continent and stared in the direction of the people from Chunyang School.
"Chunyang School's Elder Ye Chenfeng is here … Duan Lingtian is not here. Is he going to forfeit?"
"It should be … I guess he is not confident, so he chose not to come and indirectly forfeited."
"How disappointing … I originally wanted to see him fight with Wang Xiong. Now it seems that it has become an extravagant wish. "
