"I never thought that the Heavenly Moon Empire's competition would attract the attention of the Underworld."
Zuo Shangchen raised his brow as a peculiar light flashed in his eyes. "However, I don't know what the Underworld's objective is. As long as their objective isn't the Moon Soul Herb, it's fine. If they want the Moon Soul Herb as well, I'm afraid that things will be a little difficult for us this time."
Ever since Gu Ruoyun had met Zuo Shangchen, this man has always been fearless. This was the first time he had said such a thing.
If even Zuo Shangchen was afraid of them, the Underworld's power must not be underestimated.
"However, that shouldn't be the case." Zuo Shangchen's expression gradually returned to its usual calm and his lips curled into his usual seductive smile. "The Underworld's cultivators are outstanding. This Moon Soul Herb is of no use to them. Besides, the Underworld's cultivators are all at the refined state. It's only a Moon Soul Herb, it's not worth it for them to make such a big fuss."
Gu Ruoyun did not reply. She stared silently at the Left Protector who was seated in the judges' seat as a clear and cold light flashed in her eyes.
The Left Protector, who had been conversing with the Heavenly Moon Emperor, sensed her gaze and turned towards her. She then asked with a frown, "Your Imperial Majesty, may I know who this young lady is …"
"She's Gu Ruoyun." The Heavenly Moon Emperor was a little astonished but he answered her truthfully.
"Gu Ruoyun?"
The Left Protector smiled calmly. "So, she's the Gu Ruoyun you've been talking about."
She does not know why but the Left Protector did not have a good impression of Gu Ruoyun at first glance. She even felt a deep sense of disgust towards her.
Even the Left Protector herself does not know where this feeling had come from.
"It's almost time." The Heavenly Moon Emperor did not probe any further. He then turned his eyes towards the many geniuses participating in the competition and calmly said, "Everyone, We are very honored to have so many young geniuses in the Heavenly Moon Empire. That's why we've organized this competition. The winner shall receive a generous gift from the Heavenly Moon Empire! Of course, even if swords have no eyes, We still hope that you will be able to point it out. Our Heavenly Moon Empire does not wish to lose any of our geniuses! "
His words were obviously directed at Su Lin and Gu Ruoyun. After all, the two of them had signed a life or death contract. It was impossible for him not to know about such an important matter.
Su Lin scoffed icily when she heard the Heavenly Moon Emperor's words. She then stared disdainfully at Gu Ruoyun who was standing not too far away and curled the corners of her lips. "Gu Ruoyun, you had my father's support in the past but no one will be able to help you in this competition. When the time comes, you can either kneel down and beg me or die!"
That day, after she and Gu Ruoyun had signed the life and death contract, she had been lectured by the Regional King.
Of course, the Regional King was aware of Gu Ruoyun's power, which was why he had taught Su Lin a lesson. After all, Su Lin's promise to Gu Ruoyun was no different from seeking death.
However, in Su Lin's heart, she believed that the Regional King was biased towards Gu Ruoyun and was afraid that she would hurt her so he had scolded her.
From that day onwards, the image of the Regional Prince in Su Lin's heart collapsed and she secretly hated him.
The pitiful Royal Prince, his painstaking efforts had been misunderstood and even his daughter hated him!
"If everyone is ready, the competition that the Heavenly Moon Empire has prepared will now begin!" The Heavenly Moon Emperor's deep voice carried a sense of sternness. His handsome features were as cold as ever. "Next, We will explain the rules of the competition!"
