Qin Zhong stood rooted to the ground. The battles around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He only knew that he had lost.
He, who had never been defeated in his generation in Yu State, had lost to Ye Futian today. The number one sage of Zhisheng Cliffs had lost to the most outstanding noble of the Barren State.
Furthermore, Ye Futian's plane was lower than his.
He raised his head slightly and stared at Ye Futian. Ye Futian's physical strength, the power that he had unleashed during the battle, and the rules that he had comprehended were also power. Even though he had a deeper understanding of the rules, he had still been injured. He would remember this battle.
The land of the Nine States was blessed with great talents. Even though many people had praised him as the most talented of the Nine Warriors, he still could not be too complacent. Now, in the declining Barren State, he had lost, and his brother Zhan Xiao had also been crushed by Gu Dongliu.
Then, what about the geniuses of the other seven states? He had not yet entered the Sage Plane and had not truly come into contact with the cultivators of the other states, but he was sure that there were many geniuses among them.
The others also watched the battle that had stopped and were filled with emotion.
The people of the Holy Zhi Palace were not here today. If they were here, it was unknown how they would feel.
Qin Zhong had crushed Ximen Hanjiang in the Holy Zhi Palace before, and no disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace had been able to stand up to him. Now, Ye Futian, who had been expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace, was still continuing his undefeated legend. Even though his opponent was the Son from Yu State, the most talented of the Nine Warriors, he still defeated him as a Grade Two Noble.
The great figures of the Barren State all knew what this battle meant. Huang Xi, Xu Shang, and the others all looked at Ye Futian. The handsome young man stood in the air. He had won the battle, but he did not look proud at all, because he knew that this battle would not affect the overall situation at all. It was just an insignificant battle.
For Ye Futian, it only proved that the cultivators of Zhisheng Cliffs were not all that high and mighty. Even the most outstanding of the younger generation could still be defeated, proving what he had said before.
"Divine ability, huh?" Huang Xi murmured. It was said that Qin Zhong had divine ability and was the most outstanding of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs.
Now that Ye Futian had defeated Qin Zhong as a Grade Two Noble, what did this mean?
Ye Futian naturally had divine potential as well. Not only that, but this battle proved that Ye Futian was already capable of shaking those who had just entered the Sage Plane as a Grade Two Noble.
While Qin Zhong was not a sage, how could he be weaker than someone who had just entered the sage plane?
Back then, Bai Luli had become a god in one battle and possessed the lineage of the Divine Path. Sage Wanxiang had calculated that he had the potential to become a Saint. For Bai Luli, the Holy Zhi Palace was willing to sacrifice a lot, even if it meant expelling Ye Futian from the Palace. The battle in White Cloud City had also shown their stance.
But now, Ye Futian had truly proven that he was no worse than Bai Luli. Although it was impossible to say who was better because of the difference in plane, at least no one dared to say with certainty that Bai Luli would win against Ye Futian.
In that case, was it really worth it for the Holy Zhi Palace to do so much for Bai Luli?
The Holy Zhi Palace could have had two Saints.
Now, they were completely on opposite sides, and there was no turning back. Even the Holy Zhi Palace itself was already on the opposite side of Ye Futian.
Even people like Huang Xi and Xu Shang, who were not part of the Holy Zhi Palace, felt that it was a pity. Although they were not people of the Holy Zhi Palace, they still felt that way.
Huang Jiuge, Di Gang, Li Futu, Nan Hao, and many others of the younger generation also felt that he had not lost, and he was getting stronger. Di Gang could clearly feel that if he were to fight Ye Futian again, it would not be like the battle last year. Now, Ye Futian would probably be able to defeat him easily.
His father, Di Kai, had high hopes for him to enter the Divine Path. Now, in order for him to enter Zhisheng Cliffs and receive Kong Yao's care, he did not hesitate to start a war with Zhuge Qingfeng. But now, among his generation in the Barren State, there was a genius that he could not surpass.
Raising his head to look at the battlefield in the void, Kong Yao and Yuan Hong in the sky would make everyone's hearts beat faster every time they clashed, but at this moment, Kong Yao's state of mind was disturbed. It was not because of the battle, but because of the battle below that did not affect the overall situation.
Qin Zhong, his nephew, belonged to his line of cultivation, and was the most outstanding junior in his line. Not only that, but Qin Zhong was also very outstanding and had been personally enlightened by the Saint, who said that he had the potential to enter the Divine Path. In the future, he would be able to become a Saint, and when Qin Zhong became a Sage, he would have the opportunity to be taught by the Saint.
As such, there were many voices in Zhisheng Cliffs. Qin Zhong was the most outstanding of the Nine Warriors, and in the future, he would be an important figure in Zhisheng Cliffs. In order to protect Qin Zhong and protect him, Kong Yao, who was ranked ninth on the Sage Ranking, was willing to pay a lot.
This was the charm of the Saint Plane. Even if it was a descendant with the potential to become a Saint, it was worth the protection of an elder like Kong Yao. This was also a kind of inheritance.
As such, while the battle between Qin Zhong and Ye Futian had no impact on the overall situation, and could be said to be inconsequential, Kong Yao's state of mind was shaken, and he grew suspicious. He did not know whether he was suspicious of himself or Qin Zhong.
In the land of Yu State, Qin Zhong, who was under the protection of his line of cultivation, had been defeated by a Grade Two Noble.
At that moment, the shadow of the staff that covered the sky came crashing down with unparalleled power. Kong Yao's state of mind was shaken by Qin Zhong's defeat, and coupled with the fact that he had not been able to take down Qin Zhong for a long time, his movements slowed for a moment. When he raised his hand to counterattack, Yuan Hong's Polearm of Divine Destruction had already come crashing down. An earth-shattering sound was heard, and the shadow of the Divine Destruction Divine Destruction exploded in a frenzy. Kong Yao's body was sent crashing down from the sky to the ground.
Even so, he was still unharmed. Yuan Hong's Saint-level ritual implement was a defensive ritual implement, and the offensive ritual implement, the Polearm of Divine Destruction, was not Saint-level. For someone who had already reached the limit of the Sage Plane, no matter how strong Yuan Hong was, it would be difficult for him to hurt him.
In reality, the top ten of the Sage and Saint Ranking were already standing at a critical point, the true limit. While they had not broken through that layer of shackles, it would be difficult for anyone below the Saint Plane to shake them.
However, it was also difficult for him to defeat Yuan Hong, who had the defense of a Saint-level ritual implement.
Similarly, on the other battlefield, while there were several extremely powerful figures on the Barren Sky Ranking teaming up, Zhuge Qingfeng had used all of his power for defense. With the addition of the Saint-level ritual implement, Yan Wuji and the others could not find an opening to attack even if they teamed up. No matter what, Zhuge Qingfeng would not fight them head-on.
He was very clear about the current situation. As long as he and Yuan Hong were not defeated or killed, it would be enough to intimidate these people. They would not dare to make any rash moves. At their level, as long as they were alive, it would be too easy for them to massacre the younger generation. As long as they were alive, their opponents would not dare to make any rash moves.
Especially now that Gu Dongliu and Ye Futian had displayed such shocking talents, he understood one thing even more clearly: as long as they were alive, there was hope.
In the future, as long as Ye Futian did not die, he would definitely be able to prove himself as a Saint. At that time, even the entire Zhisheng Cliffs would have to think twice if they wanted to make a move against them.
With a roar, Yuan Hong charged down from the sky. He raised the Polearm of Divine Destruction and swung it towards the Nantian House Lord, the Nantian Divine Spear. The strike carried with it the power to shake the heavens. The Nantian Divine Spear swept the spear high into the sky. In an instant, shadows of the spear pierced through the sky, gold and silver light clashing together.
Boom … A deafening rumble was heard. The Nantian Divine Spear, Nan Shu, was smashed into the ground. Both his legs sank into the ground, and the arm that held the spear trembled slightly. Yuan Hong's power was terrifying. Yuan Hong, who could defeat the City Lord of White Cloud City, attacked him alone.
Yuan Hong did not linger. The Polearm of Divine Destruction swept towards the others, and in an instant, Yan Wuji and the others retreated. They then looked in Kong Yao's direction with dissatisfaction.
One Zhuge Qingfeng had been unable to take him down, and Kong Yao had even let Yuan Hong, who was a top-notch fighter, come down. How could they continue fighting?
"Yuan Hong's defensive ritual implement is the same as Zhuge Qingfeng's, Saint-level. It can greatly weaken my attacks, and I can't hurt him," Kong Yao said. He could not break through the protection of a Saint-level ritual implement. As such, Kong Yao understood that if they continued fighting, he alone would not be able to take Kong Yao down. The people below him would also find it difficult to take down Zhuge Qingfeng.
"Even so, we still have to continue fighting." Yan Wuji's expression was like an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp. Now that the arrow was nocked on the bow, he had no choice but to continue fighting. Before this, he had thought that the battle would be easy. With Kong Yao's power, he would be able to crush Yuan Hong and then deal with Zhuge Qingfeng. There would be no suspense at all.
However, Kong Yao did not seem to have the same strong desire from before. He looked at Qin Zhong and Zhan Xiao. Zhan Xiao had been crushed and injured by Gu Dongliu, and it was only with the help of Zhisheng Cliffs' sage that he was not killed by Gu Dongliu on the spot. Although Qin Zhong stood there quietly, the previous defeat could not be erased. For him to spit out blood, it was obvious that Qin Zhong was in a very bad state at the moment.
"Does anyone else here have any thoughts about this?" Kong Yao looked at the other great figures around him, but everyone looked on quietly. It was not that they did not want to prove themselves as saints, but everyone's thoughts were different, especially after seeing Yuan Hong's Saint-level ritual implement. If there was no conclusion to the battle today, no one knew what would happen in the future.
Although Zhisheng Cliffs was the holy land of Yu State and had saints, it was impossible for saints to come to the Barren State personally. It was even possible that saints did not know about this at all. They were legendary existences. There were many cultivators in Zhisheng Cliffs, and there were many things that happened. There was no way they could report everything to the saints. For Kong Yao to be doing this was already a great deal of importance.
"What Gu Dongliu said before is worth discussing. Zhisheng Cliffs, do you need to investigate this matter further? Don't make a mistake and blame others." At that moment, a voice was heard. Kong Yao turned his eyes, and his gaze was sharp.
It was not just Kong Yao. Yan Wuji and the others also looked at the person who spoke, and their expressions were extremely sharp.
Now that they were standing on Zhisheng Cliffs' side and dealing with Zhuge Qingfeng, there was no turning back.
Investigate further?
Was he speaking on Gu Dongliu's side?
If what Gu Dongliu said was true, would Zhisheng Cliffs' cultivators retreat to punish Zhan Xiao? If that happened, it would be Yuan Hong and Zhuge Qingfeng's turn to settle things with them.
However, the person who spoke was also an influential figure in the Barren State. He was ranked fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking, and the leader of the Sovereign Family, Huang Xi.
