It was a sleepless night. The next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shrouded the ground, the atmosphere in the outer area of the Yin Ruins rose rapidly. One could faintly feel the killing intent contained within.
Everyone knew that the Desolate God's Tomb was about to open!
There were many rumors in the Yin Ruins. It was said that Old Man Great Desolation was comparable to that person in the Demon God Forest. He had once killed his way into the forbidden area and dyed it with blood. Although he died, he only died when he returned to the outer area of the Yin Ruins.
The forbidden area was an abyss that blocked everyone. Countless people coveted it, but they had no choice but to look up to it. Even the five sacred grounds were no exception. They all wanted to explore the secrets of the forbidden area.
As for that person in the Demon God Forest, no one dared to touch him.
However, it was different for Old Man Great Desolation. After all, the former had died long ago and turned into a tomb. There might be some powerful cultivation techniques or secret techniques that allowed one to safely enter the forbidden area.
At the city gate of Tianyuan City.
At this moment, it could be said that many experts had gathered. Ferocious beasts covered the sky and earth, and dazzling soldiers stood like a forest. The killing intent that they emitted was almost material.
Especially the dozen or so figures that were leading the group. They stood proudly in the sky like gods. Their breathing was thunderous and their gazes were like lightning, causing a great deterrent to many of the spectators.
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely notice that these people were from Tianyuan City. To be more precise, they were the core members of the Tianyuan Commerce.
At this moment, there was a woman in a red dress, and she had a heroic air about her. She seemed like a woman who wasn't inferior to a man.
The woman's brows were slightly furrowed as she looked around, as if she was waiting for someone.
"It's almost time!"
Before her, a dignified man looked at the sky and then frowned at the woman, "Ziyue, why hasn't the external help you invited arrived yet?"
Fang Ziyue bit her lips, "Uncle, I think Senior Ye is …"
Before she could finish speaking, the handsome young man in divine robes beside her couldn't help but smile and say, "Little Sister Zi Yue, don't tell me that the external help you invited was afraid, so he ran away at the last minute?"
As soon as those words were spoken, numerous gazes landed on Fang Ziyue. There were many emotions in those gazes, such as smirks and schadenfreude.
In this attack on the Desolate God's Tomb, the young people of the four branches of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce all moved out together. All of them rubbed their palms together, because everyone knew that this was a test.
If they passed the test, not only would they be able to fight for the faction behind them, but they would also be able to suppress the other three factions and take over the Heavenly Essence Chamber of Commerce.
Thus, even though everyone seemed to be extremely amiable towards each other on the surface, there were even more open and veiled strife between them, and they wished for nothing more than for each other to make a fool of themselves in public.
"Fang Cheng Wu, shut your stinky mouth!"
Hearing those words, Fang Ziyue fiercely glared at him and said coldly, "I believe Senior Ye won't break his promise."
"So what if I don't break my promise?"
The young man called Fang Cheng Wu chuckled. "In this competition, my Orange Vein is determined to win. For this reason, I've invited Fellow Daoist Luo Xiu!"
Boom!
As his voice fell, the space above everyone's heads suddenly distorted. Then, a giant-like figure descended from the sky.
That person's chest and abdomen were exposed, and his cheekbones were high. His facial features were slightly different from humans, and overall, he looked like a wild beast.
As that person appeared, Fang Ziyue's expression changed, "Second on the Ten Great Villains Ranking, Gui Jian Chou Luo Xiu?!"
"What? He's Luo Xiu? The head disciple that Tian Xie Zi is proud of? "
"It's rumored that this person deeply inherited Tian Xie Zi's teachings. Before the age of three hundred, he resolutely stepped into the Great Perfection of Deity Transformation. Moreover, his battle prowess is extremely terrifying, and he has the title of the number one person below the Void Refinement stage."
"That's not all. It's said that this person cultivates an extremely strange divine ability that can instantly explode with battle prowess comparable to the Void Refinement stage."
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, the expressions of the many young people around Fang Ziyue all changed. Even some of the people who were hired as external help were no exception.
"So it's Nephew Luo Xiu!"
The eyes of the dignified man who spoke earlier flashed, then he looked at Luo Xiu with a bit of admiration, and said, "May I ask how your master is?"
"Uncle-Master Fang, my master is doing very well now."
Luo Xiu grinned with a cold expression, "My master sent me here this time to help Cheng Wu's young master, but also to see what the fellow who killed my uncle-master is capable of."
Fang Ziyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Then, she suddenly looked at Fang Cheng Wu, "Fang Cheng Wu, you're really smart!"
At that moment, she finally understood Fang Cheng Wu's motive.
Ye Chen had killed Old Man Tian Mo earlier, and Old Man Tian Mo was Luo Xiu's uncle-master. Clearly, Fang Cheng Wu had specially invited Luo Xiu here to fight Ye Chen. To be precise, he wanted to fight her, Fang Ziyue.
"Sister Ziyue, you're being too polite."
Fang Cheng Wu said with a fake smile, "The reason why I invited Fellow Luo Xiu here is for the champion of this competition. I have no intention of targeting you, Sister Ziyue."
How could Fang Ziyue not know his hypocrisy? She ignored him after scoffing. However, there was a hint of worry deep in her beautiful eyes.
