More and more people gathered in Ginkou, the elites of Grand Xia from all over the Grand Xia Empire. The entire city was bustling with activity, and discussions about the ranking battle could be heard in every single inn in Ginkou.
There were only three days left before the start of the pilgrimage period. This indicated that the battle for the Heavenly Fate Rankings would truly begin three days later.
Currently, in the airspace above Ginkou, demonic beasts circled the skies as experts soared through the air. Just by raising their heads, they would be able to see the silhouettes of experts flying through the air.
Outside of the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia, there were countless silhouettes gathered. They stared at the ancient kingdom in front of them, the towering pillars towering into the heavens. Ninety-nine flights of stairs made from Azure Dragon Jadestone formed the path of pilgrimage, exuding a boundless majesty. This flight of stairs was the entrance to the ancient kingdom, the place of pilgrimage.
On the vast land, there were many young elites. Their hearts were filled with anticipation as they stared at the Ancient Path of Pilgrimage, wanting to make a name for themselves in a single battle.
How many years of painstaking cultivation was all for the sake of today's battle? If they could make a name for themselves and step into the Heavenly Fate Rankings, there would be no need to worry about their future. The path laid out before them would be much smoother compared to cultivating alone. The various transcendent powers would all invite them to join them, and would focus on nurturing them. The moment they stepped into the transcendent powers, they would instantly become the core of the core.
Naturally, there were also those who wanted to compete against the geniuses of the world, tempering themselves. Only by doing so would they be able to sweep away the dark clouds and ascend to the heavens. Who could obstruct them?
"It's said that within the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia, there is the fate of the Emperor. If one is able to display a dazzling performance in the ranking battle, their fate would change drastically," a young man and woman murmured in a low voice, filled with anticipation.
Naturally, there were also those who came with ulterior motives. For example, Shu Ruanyu from the Moon Continent. She stood alone in a corner, her countenance filled with coldness, causing the people in the surroundings to not dare to approach her.
Back then, she was once engaged to Yang Fan. Her talent was extraordinary, and she would eventually be married into the Star-Seizing Manor. However, after she was captured by Qin Wentian, the Star-Seizing Manor started to doubt her innocence, and gradually, they grew distant. In fact, she could even sense that Yang Fan's attitude towards her had changed. Evidently, he was unhappy with the fact that she was a captive. In a fit of anger, Shu Ruanyu broke up with Yang Fan and took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
However, she still couldn't breathe normally today. She wanted to find the person who had kidnapped her back then, Qin Wentian, to settle the debt. However, she didn't know if that crafty fellow, Qin Wentian, would come to Ginkou to spectate the ranking battle.
Shu Ruanyu's gaze swept over the surroundings, only to see two silhouettes standing not far away from her. One was an old man, one was a young man, both exuding an extraordinary aura. The old man then asked, "Di Feng, are you prepared for the Heavenly Fate Rankings?"
Di Feng stared at the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia. His chest was filled with hot blood, and an incomparably strong self-confidence radiated from him. A confident smile appeared on his handsome face as he replied in a low voice, "I'm here to fight for the top position."
"You've been in seclusion for so many years, all for this opportunity to shake Grand Xia. The Heavenly Fate Rankings has an extraordinary meaning to you. If you can obtain it, your position would be unshakable, and in the future, you would be able to command the 'hidden' Faction. Let them know who you really are, "the old man murmured, as he calmly continued," But this time around, you must remember not to neglect your opponents. Chen Wang, Shi Potian, they have yet to break through to Heavenly Dipper, and will be your greatest competitors. "
Di Feng nodded his head lightly, yet the self-confidence radiating from him was unshakable.
"Come again three days later." The old man faintly spoke. After which, he turned and departed together with Di Feng, causing Shu Ruanyu's beautiful eyes to flicker with a strange light. What an arrogant tone, wanting to fight for the top position. Not only that, the old man seemed to be extremely confident in himself, as though only Chen Wang and Shi Potian were his opponents.
Among the top few rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, the first ranker, Hua Taixu, and the fourth ranker, Jing Wu, had already broken through to Heavenly Dipper. In that case, the strongest among them should be Chen Wang, Shi Potian, and Emperor Azure.
Could it be that this young man didn't even care about Emperor Azure?
What she didn't know was that Di Feng and Emperor Azure were the same person, and were also the most mysterious ranker on the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
Shu Ruanyu turned her gaze over, as her beautiful eyes froze. She saw yet another strange scene. The young man with Di Feng who was preparing to leave also halted his steps, as he glanced at the person beside him in bewilderment.
Beside him, two strange silhouettes could be seen.
One of them was a maiden clad in tattered robes, her body covered in dust. Her hair was dry, and had already turned yellow. Only her eyes were extremely clear, and when she turned her head back to glance at the person behind her, her eyes were filled with worry.
This maiden should be very young, and the person behind her was being dragged along by her. She used wood and bamboo to weave a tattered bamboo bed, dragging it forward. On the bamboo bed, there was also a figure clad in tattered robes, sitting there like a beggar. His hair was disheveled, and black qi could be seen on his face, as though he would die at any moment. However, the aura he exuded was so cold that it caused those who passed by him to involuntarily step away from him.
"A cripple like him actually came to spectate the ranking battle?" Some passersby had expressions of disgust on their faces as they mocked.
The maiden clad in tattered robes inclined her head, glaring at the person who spoke. You are not allowed to say such things about my Feng gege, he is not a cripple. "
"This beggar lass is pretty amusing. Feng gege? Little lass, how old are you? You already have a lover? " The mockery in the eyes of the passersby grew even more intense. The young man sitting on the bamboo bed acted as though nothing had happened, he was still as quiet as ever, not even his eyelids twitching.
"Scram." The maiden cursed in a low voice when she saw the passersby blocking her path.
"Yo, your temper is so bad. Although you are a little dirty, you still look pretty fresh. If you take a bath, you might even be a little beauty. Do you want to follow me back to help you wash your body?" The passersby laughed, as did the two beside him, causing the maiden to tremble in anger.
At this moment, the eyelids of the young man sitting on the bamboo bed twitched as he lifted his head to glance at them.
The passersby cursed again, but at this moment, their bodies suddenly convulsed violently as their glabella turned black. After which, all of them softly slumped to the ground.
Such a scene caused the spectators to tremble involuntarily. What was going on?
There wasn't the slightest bit of vitality in those people. They died in an instant, their countenances completely black.
Shu Ruanyu also had an expression of shock on her face when she saw this scene. The young man on the bamboo bed had only lifted his eyelids slightly, and those people had already died.
"Feng gege, can you not be like this?" The maiden turned her head back when she saw this scene. Her heart softened as she stared at the young man pitifully.
"I've arrived, you can leave now."
The young man finally spoke. His voice was exceptionally cold, so cold that it could seep into the bones of those who heard it.
"I'm not leaving, you are not allowed to make me leave." The maiden spoke in an aggrieved tone.
"Scram." The young man inclined his head, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes as he stared at the maiden. However, the maiden had no fear as she replied, "No matter what you become, I will always love you. Even if you kill me, I won't leave."
The eyelids of the young man twitched, but his eyes were as cold as ever. Nobody knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"Poison, this person is using poison. He must have cultivated in a poison art."
At this moment, someone exclaimed in shock. The faces of those who died were so black that they didn't even look human anymore. This was a clear sign that they had been poisoned.
When they looked at the young man again, there was no longer any mockery or contempt in his eyes. There was only fear in his eyes.
"Could it be him?" A name suddenly appeared in Shu Ruanyu's mind, causing her heart to involuntarily tremble.
Mu Feng was a character ranked # 7 on the Heavenly Fate Rankings. It was rumored that he was the youngest of the top ten rankers, and his attainments in the field of poison had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. His talent was so high that no one didn't fear him, and he was also the disciple of the Poison Monarch of Grand Xia.
There were many rumors about Mu Feng.
Some said that although Mu Feng was proficient in the Dao of Poison, he was extremely loyal to his friends. His character was forthright and straightforward, and he loved to make friends. Sometimes, when the Poison King ordered him to kill people to cultivate his poison arts, he dared to disobey. If it wasn't for the fact that the Poison King saw his talent, he would have long since killed him. The Poison King was truly ruthless.
Not only that, it was said that although Mu Feng was proficient in the Dao of Poison, he was also a suave and elegant character. However, the person in front of them was extremely sinister and terrifying. Not only that, he was actually dragged here by a maiden. This didn't seem like Mu Feng's style at all.
And at this moment, Shu Ruanyu's gaze suddenly froze. She stared in the direction of the voice as her beautiful eyes involuntarily narrowed.
It's him, that fellow has appeared. Qin Wentian, and that damnable fatty, the fatty who always threatened her and wanted to take off her clothes.
Qin Wentian and the rest surveyed the ancient kingdom in front of them. In his heart, Qin Wentian couldn't help but be shocked. Indeed, this place was very similar to the one in his memories. In the memories left behind by his father, he had passed by this place, the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia.
At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. His gaze shifted in a certain direction, and when he saw Shu Ruanyu, a strange light involuntarily flashed in his eyes.
What a coincidence, this woman actually came here as well. And after a year of not seeing her, Shu Ruanyu had already broken through to the ninth level of Yuanfu.
At this moment, Qin Wentian felt another pair of eyes staring at him. Shifting his gaze over, he saw that the strange person was none other than Mu Feng, who was sitting on the bamboo bed. Mu Feng's gaze was filled with boundless venom as he stared at Qin Wentian, as though he wanted to dismember Qin Wentian into a million pieces.
That kind of venom caused Qin Wentian to feel his entire body turning cold, as though a chill was seeping into his bones.
"What's going on?" Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. He didn't recognize this person, this should be the first time he met him. Why was this person staring at him with such a venomous gaze?
"Be careful," Qin Wentian warned in a low voice. Those beside him also noticed Mu Feng's presence.
"Qin Wentian!"
A voice that seemed to originate from the depths of hell drifted over, causing Qin Wentian to freeze. Did this person really know him? Not only that, other than the coldness in Mu Feng's eyes, there was also a hint of bloodlust in them.
"You are?" Qin Wentian asked in bewilderment.
"You actually pretended not to know me? Ridiculous, ridiculous." Mu Feng's killing intent towered up into the skies, as a terrifying black qi gushed forth from him. Qin Wentian only felt his entire body turning cold as a terrifying venomous intent seeped into his body.
