Someone Else!
From start to finish, Jiang Wei hadn't left his room at all.
But last night, Ye Zichen had seen Jiang Wei enter in the wee hours of the morning and attacked him.
Could it be that someone else was behind this?
Although he suspected this, he couldn't completely trust Dai Xiaoyan's words. No one could confirm whether or not it was Jiang Wei who'd entered the room, or whether or not he'd used some other method to reach the outside world.
Ye Zichen couldn't confirm any of this, but at the very least, he wouldn't say that Jiang Wei had attacked him last night.
"How strange. If it wasn't Jiang Wei, then who could it be?"
At this time, Jiang Wei had already brought a few members of the Navigators to the arena. When he entered the arena, a few of his teams had already arrived. However, because both sides did not know each other, no one took the initiative to speak to the other.
After finding the Navigators' seats, Jiang Wei sat down, hugged his rusted sword, and closed his eyes.
The Xu Brothers stood on either side of him. As they sized up the other teams, they couldn't help but frown.
"Is it really appropriate for us to keep hiding this?"
Jiang Wei didn't answer. Xu Lei knit his brows and said, "When we went downstairs, we clearly saw someone else in the main hall. He saw us and ran. Why didn't we tell them?"
The Xu Brothers and Jiang Wei had agreed on a time and left seclusion at the same time.
They'd planned to go downstairs to find some food, but they just so happened to run into Ye Zichen, his soul on the verge of shattering. He was lying on the ground, barely breathing. A man dressed in black squatted in front of him, rummaging through his robes for who knew what.
The appearance of the Xu brothers and Jiang Wei gave the man in black quite a fright.
He immediately gave up on searching for Ye Zichen and ran right through the wall. Jiang Wei chased after him, but by the time he stepped out of the door, he couldn't find any trace of him. He had no choice but to hurry back into the building, find a Soul-Condensing Pill, and give it to Ye Zichen. At the same time, he woke up the other members of Anti-Upheaval and told Qiu Enhuai to gather his soul.
After escorting Ye Zichen to his room, Jiang Wei stood guard for the entire night, sword in hand.
"There's no need."
Jiang Wei didn't even open his eyes. The Xu Brothers had no choice but to give up and sigh.
"Just who is that? Anti-Upheaval's Ye Zichen is no ordinary person. To be able to silently scatter his soul, one must at least be an expert at the Celestial Being Realm or above. "
"Not necessarily!"
Only then did Jiang Wei open his eyes and shake his head. Ye Zichen's soul had been shattered, and he'd suffered a spiritual attack.
His realm was indeed very high, and his strength was not bad.
However, he had spent too little effort on mental defense. If one wanted to shatter his sea of consciousness, they would only need to be slightly proficient in mental attacks.
The way Jiang Wei saw it, the chances of a diviner attacking Ye Zichen were extremely low.
From the accommodations that the Divine Martial Academy had arranged for the yao and demons, it was clear that the Divine Capital was wary of the two realms. Most of the participants were at least sky supremes. Anyone below the diviner realm wouldn't pose much of a threat to the students of the Nine Divine Mountains.
Sovereigns weren't easy to monitor, but even if they didn't need to be monitored, Sovereigns were always exposed to God Capital's control due to their unique bodies. As such, the Divine Capital's focus was naturally on celestial experts.
Under such heavy surveillance, the Divine Capital would be able to capture a diviner before they could attack Ye Zichen.
As such, the way Jiang Wei saw it, the chances of the person they'd seen on the first floor being a diviner were slim.
In comparison, he was more inclined to believe that there might be someone among the students who were adept at spiritual attacks. His nerves were taut as he investigated everyone present. So long as that person showed up, Jiang Wei would be able to find him immediately.
Within a certain room. The windows were sealed shut, and there was no light at all.
A skinny man sat on the leather sofa in the living room, and there was another person standing behind him.
"Are you sure?"
A hoarse voice rang out from within the room. The man placed his hands on his abdomen, bowed, and said, "I'm not completely sure.
"It wasn't completely confirmed. When I was in the process of confirming it, I was discovered. However, there's an eighty percent chance that he isn't the Yellow Emperor's reincarnation. "
"Is that so?"
"That's right. Everyone knows that the Yellow Emperor has two divine artifacts: the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Yiyuan Soul Pearl. The Xuan-Yuan Sword is mainly used for attack, while the Soul Pearl Yiyuan is used for soul defense. This subordinate's mental attack easily penetrated his sea of consciousness without any resistance. This doesn't seem like a sea of consciousness protected by the Soul Pearl Yiyuan. "
"You were discovered in the middle of the investigation, but that person didn't realize it was you, did he?"
"I'm sure I didn't, but …" The person standing behind him wanted to say something but stopped. Then, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a silver-white sword mark on his back. "I've been marked by someone, but I can't erase it with my current cultivation level."
As he spoke, the man seemed to recall something and hurriedly explained.
"As soon as the mark was placed on me, I used my own cultivation to conceal it. The other party couldn't find me through the mark, but I can't be sure if I'll be able to …. "
"Come here and let me take a look."
The man hurried over. Just as he'd said, he used his power to completely conceal the mark on his back. The silver mark on the blade was dark and dull.
The skinny man glanced at it and couldn't help but nod.
"No wonder you couldn't erase it. This mark was condensed from sword intent. It's obvious that the other party is an expert swordsman. He's probably at least a diviner. Only that little fellow called Jiang Wei is capable of observing the Heavenspan of the North. "
The people standing kept smiling apologetically. The skinny man said.
"No matter. I'll help you erase it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the skinny man placed his hand on the man's back.
In an instant, the skinny man's palm turned red, and the back of the person standing in front of him began to emit green smoke.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he gritted his teeth. By the time the skinny man lowered his hand, the mark on his back had already disappeared, but the skin there was completely charred. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
"I'm done."
The skinny man smiled calmly. The man in front of him endured the pain in his back, put down his robes, and turned back to respectfully thank him.
"Thank you for your help, milord."
"You don't need to do this. This is my punishment for you. You made a mistake over such a small matter, almost ruining my entire game of chess. Fortunately, you still have some brains, and didn't let things get out of hand. "
The skinny man snorted coldly, rubbing his fingers.
