"Humph, you have guts. I'll see how you die in a month!" The black-clothed old man didn't even bother to say anything else after leaving these ruthless words. He flicked his sleeves and left.
"Ye Xiwen, although his words are a bit arrogant, there is one thing that he is right about. The Divine Union is currently unable to deal with you, but that doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to do so. I'm afraid that you will soon face the intense retaliation of the Divine Union if you don't have the protection of the Heaven Wasteland Palace!" Hua Menghan said.
"They don't have any good intentions!" Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said. "They are not trustworthy. Moreover, they are willing to betray someone who has risked his life for them for so many years just for an invitation. If the Divine Union can afford it one day, I'm afraid that they will personally cut off my head in exchange for the reward!"
Ye Xiwen understood. The behavior of the people of the Heaven Wasteland Palace made him feel even more bitterly disappointed. In their opinion, perhaps it was a matter of course to return the invitation. However, in his opinion, it was incomparably bitterly disappointing.
In the eyes of those higher-ups, he was probably just a chess piece. A chess piece that could be abandoned at any time. Those who had followed them for so many years could be abandoned just for a trifling invitation, let alone him.
However, he also understood that a trifling invitation was an opportunity for those people to change their fate. Perhaps, it was the only opportunity for them to prove their Dao in this lifetime.
They had already cultivated to the Profound Realm, and were only one step away from the legendary Dao Corroboration. Now that they had such an opportunity, as long as there was a little chance, they would not let it go. It was by constantly seizing every opportunity that they had today that they could achieve their current cultivation.
This invitation card was just an invitation card for Ye Xiwen. However, it wasn't the same for other people.
However, even if he understood, he absolutely could not agree with such an approach. Moreover, the person who might be abandoned the next time would be him.
"Yes, he definitely doesn't have any good intentions. However, it is very likely that the first thing we will face when we leave the city in a month's time will be their surprise attack!" Hua Menghan said. She was simply too familiar with the style of these big forces.
"Yes!" Ye Xiwen nodded. This was just as he had guessed. How could they be willing to give up without achieving their goal?
"When we leave, we will face a continuous stream of surprise attacks!" Hua Menghan also had a rare look of worry on her face. Even with her self-confidence, she could not guarantee that she would be able to withstand the countless attacks that would follow.
This was the most terrifying trial of the Nameless Dao College. There was no need for them to take action personally. Just a simple rule was enough to make one face the most terrifying trial. It was unknown how many people had been knocked unconscious by this rule. Since ancient times, countless geniuses had fallen to this rule.
Unless he was willing to give up, it was almost inevitable that he would face an endless pursuit.
"You will separate from me after a month. They won't dare to kill you as long as Phoenix King doesn't open her mouth. So, no one should make things difficult for you if you leave alone!" Ye Xiwen said.
"No, how can I leave you alone at this time?" Hua Menghan said immediately.
"That would be for the best. You know what kind of existences will attack when the time comes. You won't be able to help much even if you stay here for a few more months!"
Ye Xiwen's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart. However, she also understood that Ye Xiwen was only saying that to give it a try. Although her strength was considered top-notch amongst the younger generation, there was still a huge gap between her and those experts who were at the late Profound Death Stage or even the peak Profound Death Stage.
"Don't worry!" Ye Xiwen caressed her fair face and smiled. "With my speed, as long as I'm careful, even late Profound Death Stage experts won't be able to surround me. As long as I don't get surrounded on the spot, it won't be a problem for me to escape unscathed. Moreover, I will use all my strength to make a breakthrough in this one month. As long as I break through to the mid Profound Death Stage, I will be able to escape unscathed even in a direct confrontation. It won't be a big problem. They are still far from being able to kill me!"
"Yes!" Hua Menghan softly called out as she snuggled into his embrace. They had only been together for a short period of time, and now they had to separate again. Even if it wouldn't be long this time, she was still reluctant to part with him. "Don't force yourself. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing!"
Even though he knew that every single one of them had experienced mountains and seas of blood and killed their way out, when it came to himself, he was still confused by his concern. Rationality was no longer important.
"Don't worry, your man is still quite strong. Those people who want my life can forget about it if they don't prepare to fill the fields with floating corpses!" Ye Xiwen coldly laughed.
If they wanted to kill, they would kill until blood flowed like a river. If they wanted to kill, they would kill until the heavens and earth turned dark!
"Therefore, the most important thing now is to step into the mid Profound Death Stage. As long as I step into the mid Profound Death Stage, I will at least have the ability to protect myself!" Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes and said.
After stepping into the mid Profound Death Stage, his strength would experience an explosive growth. Naturally, it would be extraordinary and his chances of success would be much greater!
"You can do it!" Hua Menghan rebuked. However, she stuck her head to Ye Xiwen's chest and was unwilling to move away for a long time.
The news that the Heaven Desolate Palace had suffered a crushing defeat at Ye Xiwen's side had quickly spread. The reason why everything had been calm after Ye Xiwen had entered, and no one other than the people from the Heaven Desolate Palace had actually come to find trouble with him was largely because the people from the Heaven Desolate Palace had spoken. Before Ye Xiwen had even arrived, the people from the Heaven Desolate Palace had already spread the word that Ye Xiwen had already been booked by them. Therefore, after Ye Xiwen's identity was exposed, even though many forces had the same thoughts, they did not take action. After all, not many people were willing to fight to the death with the Heaven Desolate Palace just for an invitation.
Although the quota was important, it was not to the extent of starting a war with the Heaven Desolate Palace just for this quota.
Just like the black-clothed old man, everyone felt that Ye Xiwen had no reason to refuse. He had already offended the people of the Divine Union. How could he still refuse the olive branch of the Heaven Desolate Palace?
Although this good intention itself would require him to pay a huge price and cut off any possible future Dao Validation path.
Although it was not impossible to enter the Nameless Dao College, most of the Dao Validation experts in the Xuan World were related to the Nameless Dao College, so there was no difference.
Even so, it was better than dying in battle!
Even so, he still refused, and in such a straightforward manner, without even considering it!
This was simply beyond everyone's expectations.
"Have you heard? Ye Xiwen actually refused the good intentions of the Heaven Desolate Palace. It is said that Elder Xuan Ting's face was distorted with anger!"
"Ha ha, don't talk about rumors. I saw it with my own eyes. He was indeed so angry that his face turned green. I guess he did not expect Ye Xiwen to actually refuse!"
"However, Ye Xiwen is really arrogant. He has already offended the Divine Union, and it is said that he has a conflict with Cloud City, but he still has the guts to refuse the Heaven Desolate Palace!"
"Who knows? Perhaps it is because he is brave and fearless that he was able to make it this far?"
"No matter what, this is at most a struggle before his death. Once one month is up, it will be the time of his death. To be able to anger Elder Xuan Ting of the Heaven Desolate Hall to such an extent, he can be considered as one of a kind!"
"It's not just the Heaven Desolate Palace. There are more than one or two people eyeing his invitation. Without the protection of the Heaven Desolate Palace, does he think he can still live? What a fool. Although it seems like a loss to hand it over to the Heaven Desolate Palace, it is still better than losing his life! "
After receiving the accurate news of Ye Xiwen's refusal, all the major forces immediately took action.
There were only a mere 100 invitations to the Nameless Dao College, but there were more than one or two forces and individuals who wanted to obtain them.
Any one of the invitations could cause a war, and this was the true purpose of the Nameless Dao College.
However, just as they were about to make a move, the Heaven Desolate Palace, which had been ruthlessly humiliated by Ye Xiwen, suddenly announced that no one was allowed to interfere in this matter. Even if Ye Xiwen had to die, he had to die in their hands.
In particular, Elder Xuan Ting flew into a rage. He had to kill Ye Xiwen with his own hands to appease the hatred in his heart.
Everyone understood that the Heaven Desolate Palace had an ulterior motive. Dealing with Ye Xiwen was secondary, and the real reason was probably that they were determined to obtain the invitation.
However, facing the Heaven Desolate Palace who had already issued a kill order, no one wanted to go against them.
However, this did not mean that they would just let it go. They just hid deeper.
The entire Luoyue City was surging with undercurrents.
Time passed day by day amidst the surging undercurrents.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed in the blink of an eye. While some people were looking forward to it, this month passed in the blink of an eye. In the hearts of many ordinary people, they seemed to have forgotten about Ye Xiwen.
This was because in this month, it could be said that there were many big and small things happening in Luoyue City.
Diwu Xin was the first to engrave his name on the stone tablet, and his name became famous for a while. However, he was only one step ahead. Not long after, many other names appeared on the stone tablet. Each and every one of them was tyrannical, and their thunderous names slowly diminished people's attention towards Ye Xiwen.
The only thing that could be related to this was the fact that Hua Menghan had continuously attacked even though Ye Xiwen had hidden himself away and was in seclusion. Her opponents weren't existences like Diwu Heart-hearted, but they were all people with illustrious reputations. There was no lack of experts at the Profound Death Realm.
In this month, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden's reputation skyrocketed, and her name spread everywhere, diverting people's attention away from Ye Xiwen.
However, for those who were looking forward to it, the arrival of this day was only a matter of time. It was unknown how many pairs of eyes were tightly fixed on that small courtyard.
