"Qin Yichen …"
Deacon Lin frowned as he looked at Qin Yichen, who had remained silent all this while. He could not help but call out worriedly.
Qin Yichen already had a high reputation in the Taihao Sacred Ground. Deacon Lin was worried that this matter would dampen his spirit and fighting spirit.
"I'm fine."
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Yichen slowly let out a sigh. He squeezed out a smile and shook his head.
He had never expected something like this to happen!
This was obviously against him.
Originally, with his performance at the Taihao Sacred Lake, it would not be a problem for him to obtain a slot.
But now, even the spot that he had fought for had been unreasonably taken away!
He did not even have the time to complain!
He had already left. Even if he complained, what was the use?
Moreover, even if he complained, the matter would be handled by the Great North Hall.
Moreover, this matter was very strange. It was as if he had been excluded from the start.
This meant that the elder did not make a decision at the last minute. Instead, he had been instructed to do so long ago.
"The Palace Master of the Great North Hall?"
Qin Yichen's heart sank.
Back then, he had killed Yi Buyan in front of everyone. This was equivalent to offending the Palace Master of the Great North Hall.
At that time, if he had not taken out the Compound Elixir and attracted the attention of the Pill Hall's higher-ups, he might not even be able to stay in the Sacred Ground.
However, in this matter, because of their standpoints, it was not clear who was right and who was wrong.
Yi Buyan had intended to kill Li Yuanba. Therefore, Qin Yichen had killed him out of anger.
The Palace Master of the Great North Hall's reaction was within reason.
Speaking of which, the Palace Master of the Great North Hall did not personally kill Qin Yichen. This was already considered magnanimous.
Even if it was Qin Yichen, if he was in Yi Buyan's position, his reaction would be even more intense!
"Brothers, I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first."
Qin Yichen cupped his fists in front of everyone's worried eyes. Then, he strode out of the Martial Hall.
"Senior Brother Qin …"
"Senior Brother Yichen …"
Wherever Qin Yichen passed by, the packed crowd would open up a wide path for him. Worried cries continuously sounded out.
Qin Yichen could only bitterly smile in the face of these worried gazes. He strode out and quickly left Vast North Hall.
"Sigh … I hope Senior Brother Yichen's spirit won't be dampened because of this."
Qin Yichen was already a legend in the outer sect of the Taihao Sacred Ground. Regardless of whether it was in the South Vast Palace or the North Vast Palace, his deeds had won the respect and admiration of countless disciples.
Many disciples secretly sighed in their hearts as they looked at his slightly bleak back.
…
On the way back from the outer sanctum, Qin Yichen remained silent.
When he returned to the residence and saw the beautiful figure, his heart finally calmed down.
Feng Qianxue was sitting on a stone platform in the courtyard. At this moment, the stone platform was completely red, like a piece of red-hot metal. However, the stone platform was surprisingly not melted.
This was obviously specially prepared for Feng Qianxue.
At this moment, Feng Qianxue was cultivating. Behind her, an indistinct silhouette of a phoenix could be seen. An overwhelming aura emanated from her body, forming a rainbow-like halo that revolved around her body. It made her look exceptionally holy, like a goddess.
As if it was because of the fluctuation of the phoenix figure, the little beast that was sleeping in Qin Yichen's arms poked its head out from his collar. Its bright eyes stared straight at Feng Qianxue.
Qin Yichen was already used to its strange actions.
"Eh?"
With a glance, he realized that the little beast's body was a little different.
Originally, there were some lines on its body that looked like a gecko. Under Qin Yichen's careful observation, he realized that something seemed to be growing out from those lines.
As if it noticed that Qin Yichen was looking at it, the little beast stretched its body and went back into his arms.
"This guy …"
Qin Yichen originally wanted to see clearly what the thing that was about to grow was, but the little beast did not give him a chance.
"Brother Yichen, you're back!"
In the courtyard, Feng Qianxue opened her eyes. Seeing that it was him, she immediately rushed over.
Qin Yichen naturally held her soft and boneless hands and hugged her.
At this moment, his worries were all gone.
So what if he couldn't participate in the competition in the City of Saints? He just lost an opportunity to gain experience.
For Qin Yichen, there were plenty of opportunities to gain experience.
For a period of time, Qin Yichen didn't leave the courtyard. He didn't even go to the Pill Hall much.
Together with Feng Qianxue, he cultivated in seclusion in the courtyard to improve his cultivation.
Seven days later …
"Sigh …"
Qin Yichen opened his eyes and sighed.
He had already touched the threshold of the high-level Emperor Realm, but until now, he still couldn't take that step.
"It seems that seclusion is useless if I want to break through the shackles."
He felt that what he lacked wasn't the accumulation of True Origin, but an opportunity.
It was his first time walking the path of martial cultivation. It wasn't like spirit cultivation. As long as his Spiritual Energy accumulated to a certain level, breaking through was just a matter of course for him.
However, martial cultivation was different.
Qin Yichen stood up. He hadn't been to the Pill Hall for a few days. He told Feng Qianxue and walked towards the Pill Hall.
"Hmm?"
On the way, Qin Yichen vaguely felt that there was an unusual atmosphere.
There were fewer people on the way. Even if there were one or two, they all looked gloomy and hurried away.
"Could it be that something happened?"
Qin Yichen's heart trembled. He thought of the competition in the Sacred City.
Seven days had passed. The results should be out!
"I wonder how that barbarian Li Yuanba is doing."
Qin Yichen was a little worried.
Although Li Yuanba's skin was rough and his flesh was thick, no one in the Holy City was weak. There was still a possibility of an accident.
"Qin Yichen."
Just as he was about to ask about Li Yuanba's situation, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Deacon Yu Liang?"
Qin Yichen looked sideways. When he saw the figure, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. This person was the deacon who led them to the Sacred Land … Yu Liang.
At this moment, Yu Liang seemed to have returned from outside. However, his expression was the same as the other disciples. He didn't look very happy.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Yu Liang felt a little emotional.
Back then, he only accepted Qin Yichen because of Li Yuanba. He didn't expect Qin Yichen's talent to far surpass Li Yuanba's!
"Sir Deacon, how is the competition in the Sacred City?"
