Chapter 1088

The time for the exchange of new disciples approached.

The elites of the various powers were in closed-door cultivation, preparing for the event. A portion of them were scouting around for information.

In the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's disciple district.

Many disciples gathered in the great hall. They were initially very confident about the exchange of new disciples. After all, Celestial Sect's disciple, Qin Wentian, had yet to return from his mission.

Who would have thought that the Celestial Sect's disciple, Chen Yu, would appear and defeat Zhu Cangyan, a senior disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest.

Suddenly, a silhouette appeared outside the great hall.

"Zhu Lingyuan is here!"

The gazes of the crowd turned to look.

The man walking toward them was thin and weak, but he was very handsome. His red robe and red hair fluttered in the wind, and his demonic red eyes scanned the crowd.

This person was Zhu Lingyuan, the top disciple of the Vermilion Bird Clan's Patriarch. His cultivation was at the peak of the Star Condensation Late Stage!

"What happened while I was in closed-door cultivation?"

Zhu Lingyuan sensed the strange expressions of the crowd and asked calmly.

"Senior Brother Zhu, the exchange of new disciples is about to begin, but a very powerful beauty appeared in the Celestial Sect …"

"I heard that this person is the top disciple of the Celestial Sect. He even defeated Senior Brother Zhu Cangyan, how terrifying …"

Shi Yao walked out and briefly recounted Chen Yu's situation.

Zhu Lingyuan's expression turned heavy as his red eyes flickered.

"Even Senior Brother Zhu Cangyan was defeated? Is he really a new disciple? "

Zhu Lingyuan asked.

As the top disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, he couldn't help but feel troubled after hearing the news.

He was very clear of Zhu Cangyan's strength. If he fought against him, he would have no chance of winning.

"Senior Brother Zhu Cangyan fought against Geng Handong, ranked 38rd on the Sky Martial Ranking before fighting against Chen Yu …"

A female disciple said.

"Oh? So that's how it is. It seems like Senior Brother Zhu Cangyan was heavily injured when fighting against Geng Handong. That's why he lost to a new disciple. "

Zhu Lingyuan's expression softened.

However, he didn't underestimate the new disciple at all. He only said this to prevent others from being too pessimistic.

Suddenly, a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest appeared outside the great hall.

"Is there any news?" someone asked.

The disciple who had just arrived glanced at Shi Yao and the others and let out a disdainful harrumph. He walked up to Zhu Lingyuan and said, "Just today, there was news that Shi Yao and the others …"

This disciple's voice was very soft, but everyone in the hall heard it clearly.

Shi Yao and his two friends had challenged Chen Yu, but they didn't dare to fight Chen Yu on the Tianwu Arena. Instead, they secretly "bribed" Chen Yu to cancel the challenge.

The news spread like wildfire and became the laughingstock of the other three forces.

They were all new disciples, but the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's Shi Yao and the others were in stark contrast to Chen Yu. They had lost all face.

Shi Yao and the other two in the main hall immediately turned deathly pale as they inwardly cursed Chen Yu for being despicable and shameless.

"Hmph, you've really done well. The Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's face has been completely lost by you."

Zhu Lingyuan angrily snorted. The pressure of a sacred beast spread out, causing Shi Yao and the others to instinctively tremble in fear.

Shi Yao wanted to cry but no tears came out. Who would have thought that his opponent would be so strong?

"Shi Yao, you explain this matter to the Elders yourself."

Zhu Lingyuan coldly snorted, cursing these idiots in his heart.

Just as the disciples were discussing countermeasures, Shi Yao and the others suddenly received an Elder's message.

"It's over."

Shi Yao didn't expect the Elders to receive the news so quickly.

This time, they had lost all face in the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest. The Elders would definitely punish them severely.

At the same time, Zhu Lingyuan and the other elite geniuses also received the message. The Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's Elders wanted them to do their best to regain face in the new disciples' exchange.

Zhu Lingyuan's gaze darkened as he watched Shi Yao and the others leave. "These idiots, they've lost all face for the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest. Now, the Elders are placing more importance on victory. It looks like we'll have to find some helpers for the new disciples' exchange."

"Junior Sister, I'm also looking for helpers. I wonder if Brother Zhu is interested?"

A pleasant voice came from outside the main hall.

Three figures slowly walked in. The one in the middle was a girl wearing a green silk robe embroidered with a green dragon pattern.

"Qing Sha?"

Zhu Lingyuan's gaze focused on her.

This girl who suddenly appeared was the Azure Dragon Divine Wood's number one disciple, Qing Sha.

… …

On the day of the new disciples' exchange, Chen Yu walked out of his cultivation dwelling.

"I heard that there are no Four Star King Realm experts among the four forces' new disciples!"

After a few days of seclusion, his condition had reached its peak.

His White Tiger Heaven Splitting Claw that was nearing completion, in addition to his three and a half layers of metal and space profound, just this physique tempering technique alone was enough to deal with the other three forces' elite geniuses.

If the exchange was a one-on-one battle, then the number one position would be taken by him without any hesitation.

In a large plaza in the Celestial Sect, the four forces' higher echelons were gathered in four different locations.

The moment Chen Yu arrived, he noticed that the four forces' higher echelons and disciples were all looking at him. An invisible pressure enveloped him from head to toe, especially the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest.

There were two elders from the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest whose eyes were filled with anger, emitting a terrifying pressure.

"Yu, come to me."

In the East Pavilion, the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader suddenly spoke. His voice contained a mysterious power, causing the pressure on Chen Yu to disappear instantly.

"Yes, Master."

Chen Yu walked over quickly.

"The Celestial Sect's Sect Leader has accepted a good disciple."

In the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, an old man with a red beard laughed softly.

He was one of the elders who emitted a terrifying pressure just now.

As the Sect Leader, Sikong Wanli did not mock the old man with the red beard.

Soon, everyone was present.

"This time, the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest, Azure Dragon Divine Wood and Wan Xiang Sect are all here …"

After a round of pleasantries.

"The new disciples' exchange begins now!"

The Celestial Sect's Sect Leader announced.

Boom!

In the sky above the plaza, the energy of the space fluctuated and the void distorted. A scene of a different dimension gradually appeared.

"The four forces will each pick ten new disciples to enter and fight it out."

The Celestial Sect's Sect Leader said.

A scholarly old man walked out. Chen Yu remembered this elder. He was the one who presided over the new disciples' assessment.

"Yang Zhen, Sun Tianlong, Chen Yu, Lin Tianfeng …"

The scholarly old man read out ten names.

The other three forces had already decided on their candidates and read out their names.

The four forces had a total of forty people and walked to the center of the plaza.

"This is an independent space created by Elder Shen, Elder Qi and the others. In the center of this space, there are four flags. The first force to obtain a flag will temporarily be ranked first. Other than that, the force with the most flags will be ranked first."

The rules were simple. The forty of them would enter an independent space and fight for the four flags.

If the four forces each obtained a flag, they would be ranked according to the time they obtained the flags.

If any faction obtained more flags, then the faction with the most number of flags would be ranked first.

"Indeed, it won't be a one-on-one battle."

Chen Yu laughed in his heart.

The scholarly old man suddenly made his move and outlined a huge array in the void.

Inside the array, silver light surged and the energy of the space fluctuated.

At a certain moment, after the spatial formation that was created out of thin air stabilized, the elegant old man shouted, "Quickly enter."

Swoosh …

Figures flew into the spatial array and were teleported to the space above everyone's heads.

After a violent spatial tremble, Chen Yu appeared in another space.

He observed his surroundings and found that he was at the edge of this space. In front of him was a boundless plain.

"This event is fair and open. All of you are now at the edge."

"Remember two things. First, you only have an hour. Second, you can fight at will, but you are not allowed to kill. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Yu immediately flew out.

This was a circular space. Everyone was at the edge. Whoever could reach the center first would undoubtedly have a great advantage.

Not only Chen Yu, but the others also instantly understood the rules and flew toward the center.

Outside.

The higher-ups of the four factions observed the situation in the space.

"Although that Chen Yu is strong and Zhu Lingyuan might not be his opponent, this event is not a one-on-one battle. Our Vermilion Bird Sky Nest might still be able to get first place!"

Vermilion Bird Sky Nest's red-bearded old man said.

"Hehe, Chen Yu is only at the peak of the Star Condensation Realm. He might not be Zhu Lingyuan's opponent in terms of speed."

"However, this is only the first round of the competition. There will still be battles later. This Chen Yu is still a big problem."

The higher-ups of the Vermilion Bird Sky Nest analyzed.

Inside the space, everyone was flying toward the center. As time passed, the distance between them got closer.

Suddenly, a disciple left the original route.

"Eh? This is Zhu Lingyuan's idea? Interesting. "

The red-bearded old man smiled and glanced at the Celestial Sect Leader.

The Celestial Sect Leader frowned.

Inside the space, there were disciples from Vermilion Bird Sky Nest and Azure Dragon Divine Wood. They used their secret techniques to increase their speed and left the original route, heading straight for Chen Yu.

It was obvious that the disciples from these two factions had joined forces to deal with Chen Yu.

They did not hope to defeat Chen Yu. They only hoped to delay Chen Yu for a while.

Inside the space.

Sou!

Chen Yu was flying at high speed. This space was not big. In less than half an incense's time, he would reach the center.

Within the range of his spiritual sense, there were other people who were also heading towards the center.

These two people were from Vermilion Bird Sky Nest and Azure Dragon Divine Wood. However, when they discovered Chen Yu's tracks, they immediately changed their route and flew towards Chen Yu.

One of them was a man from Vermilion Bird Sky Nest. He was like a huge firebird, emitting surging flames as he flew across the sky.

On the other side, another figure was riding on the head of an Azure Dragon.

When the two saw Chen Yu, their gazes turned solemn. The man in the form of a huge firebird flapped his wings, stirring up a shocking fire storm.

"Vermilion Bird Sky Nest and Azure Dragon Divine Wood are joining forces to stop me?"

At the beginning, the competition was speed. Whoever reached the center first would have the advantage.

These two factions were willing to sacrifice two disciples to stop Chen Yu for a while.

"Good dogs don't block the way. Scram!"

Chen Yu shouted.
