Seven Days

The disturbance in the Gale and Thunder Family only lasted for a while before Yang Yi rebuilt a huge round platform in the sky above the Gale and Thunder City.

This round platform was naturally for the Divine Battle Preliminaries to continue. Zhuowen stood on the Blood Immortal's back. Under everyone's respectful gazes, he flew to the 655 new round platforms that Yang Yi had built.

Xue Hui and Elder Jue Shang naturally came up to him immediately. The eagerness in their eyes became more intense. Not only Xue Hui, but Shui Tianze and Ji Feilong, who did not particularly care about Zhuowen, also involuntarily went up to him and tried to get close to him.

Although Zhuowen's strength was indeed terrifying, Xue Hui and the other three were Earthly Immortals. Since the four of them had extended an olive branch to him, Zhuowen naturally could not pretend to be aloof. They all courteously returned the greeting.

Xue Hui, who was originally dissatisfied because Zhuowen had taken his Life Essence Blood, had completely changed his mind at this moment. He looked at Zhuowen with eyes full of admiration.

"Bi Qing, take this Heaven-defying Saint Weapon. It should be of great help to you!"

Zhuowen waved his sleeve and took out a huge magma river from his Spiritual Ring. This river was naturally the Heaven-defying Saint Weapon, Spirit-devouring Magma River, that Zhuowen had obtained from the Green Dragon Palace.

Now that Zhuowen's strength was not what it used to be, the Spirit-devouring Magma River was becoming less and less useful to him.

Since he had promised to compensate Bi Qing, he naturally would not break his promise. This Spirit-devouring Magma River was just right for Bi Qing!

Bi Qing took the Spirit-devouring Magma River and was pleasantly surprised. He naturally felt the powerful aura from this Heaven-defying Saint Weapon. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhuowen, for your gift!"

The competition continued in an orderly manner. Yang Yi's style of doing things was still as lazy as before. After he finished building the round stage, he once again became a hands-off boss and allowed Xue Hui to preside over the rest of the competition.

Half a day later, the final results of the preliminaries were all out. Naturally, there were some who were happy and some who were sad.

Moreover, among the 655 people in the preliminary selection, half of them were Half Immortals, and the rest were basically Heaven-defying Saint Stage. There was no one below the Heaven-defying Saint Stage.

The elites of Bi Qing's family were all eliminated. After all, Bi Qing was the only one in Bi Family who had reached the Heaven-defying Saint Realm.

Yang Yi laid lazily on the Qilin's back and looked down at the hundred people below. He said, "Congratulations, you've passed the preliminaries. You're qualified to participate in the real War of the Gods!"

As soon as Yang Yi said this, everyone that sat cross-legged on the 655 round plates revealed excited expressions, and even Xue Hui, Old Man Jue, and the other three Earthly Immortal Realm old fellows were no exception.

They knew very well that this Battle of the Gods was the key to entering the Ancient Battlefield. The Ancient Battlefield was related to the ancient times, and there were unimaginable benefits inside. More importantly, warriors who could enter the Ancient Battlefield would be able to obtain opportunities and break through to a higher realm.

The benefits of being able to break through to a higher realm alone had attracted countless warriors, especially old fellows like Earthly Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.

Old fellows who had reached the Earthly Immortal Realm and Heavenly Immortal Realm often needed opportunities rather than time and resources to advance further. Once they obtained an opportunity, they would be able to smoothly break through to a higher realm.

However, if they were unable to obtain an opportunity, they might be stuck in their original realm for the rest of their lives. It could be said that when one reached their realm, a breakthrough would sometimes become an extravagant hope.

"The location of this Battle of the Gods will be at the Chaos Temple. Gather here seven days later. I'll bring all of you to the Chaos Temple then," Yang Yi said faintly.

After that, Yang Yi glanced at Zhuowen and patted the Qilin. The Qilin let out a low roar, turned into a green light, and disappeared from the spot.

Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and said a few words to Bi Qing. His right foot stepped on the void, and traces of ripples spread out from his right foot. Then, Zhuowen disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After Yang Yi left, the originally quiet Wind Thunder City suddenly burst into an uproar. Of course, the main reason for this uproar was naturally not because of the Battle of the Gods, but because of the Wind Thunder Clan, which was almost annihilated.

After witnessing Zhuo Wen's ruthless methods, Zhuo Wen's name had instead become a taboo in the mouths of the crowd. They wouldn't casually mention him, and even if they did, their voices would be suppressed to the extreme.

Whoosh!

In the sky above a dense forest thousands of miles away from Wind Thunder City, the Qilin let out a cry and stopped. It turned around and roared at Zhuowen, its eyes full of hostility.

Zhuowen ignored the Qilin and looked at Yang Yi. He said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Yang Yi, you should tell me what happened between you and Jian Mu back then!"

Yang Yi patted the Qilin's head and calmed it down. He took a deep look at Zhuowen and sighed, "It's a long story. When Jian Mu and I came to the Central Region, we directly handed in the Heavenly Worm Avatar's mission."

"But on the way back from the Chaotic Temple, Jian Mu and I met a group of mysterious people. This group of mysterious people wore ghost masks on their heads. It was extremely strange."

Yang Yi frowned when he said this, revealing an extremely solemn expression. Zhuowen's eyes flickered. He did not expect Yang Yi to meet the people wearing ghost masks.

Moreover, the reason why Jian Mu was wearing ghost masks was probably related to what Yang Yi was about to say.

"The leader of the people wearing ghost masks was very powerful. Moreover, this group of people cooperated with each other very well. They attacked together with the intention of capturing me alive, but they failed in the end. However, I was heavily injured because of this and fled desperately …"

Yang Yi revealed a trace of guilt when he said this. He continued, "At that time, I couldn't even take care of Jian Mu. I'm afraid Jian Mu was captured by them. Later on, I specially investigated the origins of this group of people wearing ghost masks, but I found that the clues were incomplete."

Zhuowen took a deep breath and thought to himself, "It seems that Jian Mu was captured by the faction behind the people wearing ghost masks because of this reason. Moreover, they refined him into this hideous appearance. However, how much of what Yang Yi said is true is still debatable."

Zhuowen could not be blamed for doubting Yang Yi. After all, Yang Yi's words were only one-sided. Coupled with Xiao Hei's reminder, Zhuowen did not intend to tell Yang Yi about Jian Mu in the end.

"That's right!

According to some clues I found, the goal of this group of people wearing ghost masks is most likely the Holy Talisman. I guess the deaths of the Wind and Thunder Family's Ancestor Feng Lei Wuji and the Ice Flame Holy Talisman's Ancestor Jiang Binghan should be related to this group of people wearing ghost masks. You have the Holy Talisman on you, so be careful! "

Yang Yi stared at Zhuowen with a touch of concern in his eyes and continued, "If you can, you can follow me. Now that I am the Messenger of Primal Chaos, I am quite respected in the Primal Chaos Temple. Now that the group of people wearing ghost masks does not dare to attack me, you will be much safer by my side than by yourself."

Zhuowen quietly stared at Yang Yi. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. This Junior Brother will act appropriately. There is no need to trouble Senior Brother."

Yang Yi's face stiffened slightly, but soon he smiled and said, "It seems that Junior Brother is very confident. However, you do have the capital to be confident. You were able to kill a peak Earthly Immortal as a Half-Immortal. Even I was far from being able to do that."

When he spoke up to here, Yang Yi waved his right hand and passed a jade tablet to Zhuo Wen. He said, "This jade tablet is my identity jade tablet, and it contains my full strength attack. If you're in trouble, this jade tablet should be of great help to you."

Zhuowen took the jade card and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother. If Senior Brother has nothing else to say, Junior Brother will take his leave first!"

"Go, be careful." Yang Yi did not urge him to stay and said with a smile.

Zhuowen cupped his hands again and immediately turned into a rainbow and left this place.

"Xiao Hei, can you see through Yang Yi's cultivation?" On the way, Zhuowen suddenly asked Xiao Hei.

"I can't see through it. There is a layer of fog on Yang Yi's body that is specially used to block detection. This fog should be set up by an almighty person. I can't see through that layer of fog to see through Yang Yi's cultivation," Xiao Hei said.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered. With a flip of his right hand, he took out the jade card given to him by Yang Yi and continued, "Is there any problem with this jade card?"

Xiao Hei was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, "I can't find any problem with this jade card."

Zhuowen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Am I really overthinking it?

Senior Brother Yang Yi really has nothing to do with Jian Mu's disappearance? "

"This matter still needs to be discussed. You'd better be careful. This Yang Yi has more secrets than you. Even if he's not the person with the ghost mask, I'm afraid he's not a simple person," Xiao Hei said.

Zhuowen nodded. He stared at the jade card in his hand for a few times, but casually threw it into the dense forest below. After that, he directly turned into a rainbow and entered Wind Thunder City.

Since Zhuo Wen had no way of knowing Yang Yi's background, nor did he know what Yang Yi's purpose was, under the premise of caution, Zhuo Wen eliminated anything that could possibly expose his whereabouts, and he could not bring this jade token with him.

After returning to Wind Thunder City, Zhuowen found that when many eyes looked at him, they were all evasive. There were even a few eyes that were like mice that saw a cat. They fled in a panic and did not dare to get close to Zhuowen.

This scene caused Zhuowen to be stunned at first, and then he quickly recalled his performance in the Battle of Gods, causing him to reveal an expression of understanding.

However, he didn't explain anything and just dismissed it with a smile. After that, he notified Bi Qing, and under Bi Qing's respectful lead, he stayed in a rather good inn.

After he entered the inn, Zhuowen sat cross-legged and meditated, and he silently waited for the arrival of seven days.

During these seven days of time, Xue Hui, Old Man Jue, Ji Feilong, and Shui Tianze frequently paid him a visit. However, Zhuowen basically asked Bi Qing to decline all of them.
