Chapter 1555

The Shuntian Prefecture's Realm Tournament was getting closer and closer. Even though Wu Xie had asked the people of Shuntian Dao to help spread the news, Zi Chen still hadn't shown up.

In the past few days, Hu Pingcheng, Shuntian Dao, Fortune Teller, Jin Qingcheng, Hidden Mist, Dark Mantle, and more than a dozen other experts had gathered together.

These experts had a good relationship with Zi Chen. Their cities were ranked at the top. It was Zi Chen who had led them to challenge the final Starry Sky City.

"There are still three days before the Realm Tournament, and there is still no news from Zi Chen. What will you do if Zi Chen doesn't show up in three days?" A young man in blue asked. He was from Blueflame City, which was ranked eighth.

The four people who had been very confident in Zi Chen were obviously not confident at the moment. Wu Xie sighed, "Let's take one step at a time. There are still three days, right? Let's wait and see."

"If Zi Chen really doesn't show up, the four of you will really have to participate in the tournament." Dark Mantle said, "You should know how much the absence of one person will affect your battle strength."

Out of concern among friends, the group was still very worried about the four people from Hu Pingcheng participating in the tournament.

It should be known that none of the participants were weak. The absence of one person would greatly affect the outcome of the tournament.

Everyone wanted the four to return to Hu Pingcheng to find one person. However, the four of them were very clear that there were no other special existences in Hu Pingcheng, unless they went to Tiger God Mountain to borrow someone.

However, there were only three days before the tournament. It would be too late even if they went now.

"Let's wait." Wu Xie, who couldn't speak of his bitterness, could only say so.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The Realm Tournament of Shuntian Prefecture began.

At the very center of the Shuntian Prefecture, there was a huge square. There were many forbidden spaces in this square, and the square could be divided into many spaces. Usually, some of the regions that had conflicts would duel here, and the Grand Competition would also be held here.

A restriction was activated. A high platform slowly rose from the center of the square. A middle-aged man with a cold and resolute face stood on the platform. His indifferent eyes swept across the hundreds of cultivators who had come to participate in the tournament.

Outside the square stood other domain experts who had come to join in the fun.

They looked at the people in the field. Some of their eyes were filled with envy, some with jealousy, and some looked at the crowd with disdain, as if they were watching children playing house.

The participants in the arena didn't utter a single word. The surrounding Domain Realm experts started to discuss the middle-aged man when they saw him.

"That's Lord Mo Ling. I didn't expect Lord Mo Ling to be the one hosting the competition this time."

"Lord Mo Ling is an existence second only to the Shuntian Prefecture Lord. I didn't expect him to be the host of this competition."

"Mo Ling, the number one guard under the Shuntian Prefecture's Prefecture Master. His cultivation level has long since reached the Ninth Domain Realm. Usually, it's just a legend. I didn't expect to see him in person today."

Among the sounds of discussion, there were very few discussions about the 653 City. Most of the discussions were about the middle-aged man named Mo Ling on the high platform.

Compared to the cultivators participating in the competition, Mo Ling was a real big shot.

Not only was he the number one bodyguard under the Shuntian Prefecture's Lord, but he was also the number one person in the Shuntian Prefecture's Nine Domains. He had the title of being undefeatable.

Only those existences in the Domain Realm could surpass Mo Ling.

In the 653 city, it was obvious that many people had heard of Mo Ling's name. As the discussion spread, the cultivators who had come to participate in the competition raised their heads one by one. They looked curiously and reverently at the ninth layer Domain Realm expert who had the title of being undefeated.

Mo Ling gently raised his right hand. The discussions around him stopped abruptly.

Mo Ling was expressionless. He said coldly, "In the past, the Grand Competition of Domain Realms was conducted by drawing lots. First, there would be a ranking battle between the cities to determine the ranking of the cities. After that, there would be a personal battle. However, there will be some slight changes this time."

Many people in the audience looked startled. Obviously, these people had not heard the news in advance and had only brought along Sixth Domain Realm experts.

"A few days ago, we accidentally discovered a chaotic small world. After we went in to investigate, we found that the things in the small world were very interesting. After we reported this matter to the Mansion Master, the Mansion Master said that the first battle will be held there. Later, everyone will be given a jade token. There will be a small counter restriction set in the jade token. Your gains in the small world will be displayed on the jade token. After you come out, you will be ranked according to the total of your gains on the counter."

This was obviously different from the previous competitions. Everyone's expression changed. The Domain Realm experts in the distance were even more shocked when they heard this.

Mo Ling continued, "In the Small World, cultivators are not allowed to fight to the death. In addition to the jade token, we will also give each of you a token. There is a Teleportation Array in the token. As long as you use your mind, the Teleportation Array will be activated and you will leave the Small World. Of course, this is a last resort for everyone."

After hearing Mo Ling's words, Man Shi was curious about the Small World. At the same time, he curled his lips. What did he mean by 'discovered it a few days ago'? Who was he trying to lie to?

He had probably discovered it a few years ago, and after a series of preparations, some of the more powerful forces had long known that such a thing would happen this time, which was why they had brought along cultivators of the fifth domain. At this moment, the Demon Commander had purposely said that he had only discovered it a few days ago, so that everyone could accept it.

"Alright, everyone will come up to receive your jade tokens. Although we can't see what happened in the Small World, we will ask about it later. So, it's best that you don't kill each other."

As soon as Mo Ling finished speaking, two people walked up to the high platform. One of them was responsible for giving out the jade tokens, while the other was responsible for recording everyone's information.

After that, the cultivators came up one by one. However, before they could do so, they needed to show their qualification tokens.

There was a groove on the qualification token. The size of the groove was similar to the jade token. The person holding the jade token asked, "Name?"

The cultivator said, "Mo Sheng."

Two words instantly appeared on the jade token. Then, the person embedded the jade token into the qualification token.

"Next." An indifferent voice sounded.

The second cultivator came up and did the same as before.

There were a total of 095 people in the 653 cities. However, Zi Chen did not come, so there were only 084 people.

The others came up one after another. The people from Hu Ping Cheng waited anxiously. They were still hoping for a miracle.

As if they had guessed the thoughts of Hu Ping Cheng's group, the cultivators from Yanbo Castle, who were not used to Hu Ping Cheng's group, quickly came up. After receiving their jade tokens, they stood in the distance and sneered at the four people.

If Hu Ping Cheng only sent four people to participate, then their ranking would definitely drop greatly this time.

This was because they had plenty of ways to make the four people gain nothing.

As for the forces that were on good terms with Hu Ping Cheng, they slowly came forward, intentionally stalling for time for the four people.

Mo Ling's gaze swept around, and finally landed on Hu Ping Cheng's group. He naturally knew what these people were thinking. A smile appeared on his face, but he did not expose them.

No one noticed that in another direction, there were two special existences looking in their direction.

One of them was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His face was cold and resolute, and he looked like a stern general. The other person was dressed in white and held a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a refined scholar.

"The variable you mentioned is in this group," Shuntian Hall Master asked.

"There should be no mistake, but I can't tell who it is," the refined scholar said.

No matter how much time was delayed, the jade tokens would eventually be distributed. Even though many people deliberately delayed, Hu Ping Cheng's group of four still arrived.

In the end, there were five spots left, but there were only four people.

Mo Ling did not say anything. The other two people looked puzzled.

Then, Wu Xie slowly went up to the stage, took his own jade token, and registered his city.

In the distance, those people also saw some clues, and they were all very puzzled.

Next was Man Shi, then Dong Qing, and finally Shangguan Hong.

After Shangguan Hong took her jade token and registered, the person waved his hand and motioned for Shangguan Hong to leave.

"Wait, I have another qualification token here."

As she spoke, Shangguan Hong took out another qualification token.

"There's only one for each person. Find another one," the person said indifferently.

Shangguan Hong did not hesitate and took out another Soul Jade. The Soul Jade was incomplete, and there was a crack in it. The Soul Power in it flowed slowly and jerkily. She immediately crushed the Soul Jade, and the moment the Soul Power floated out, she forcefully injected it into the qualification token. She raised the token again and said, "There's another Soul Remembrance in here. Will this do?"

The person was startled, and he looked back at Mo Ling with a troubled expression.

"Hu Ping Cheng has five tokens, and this is our fifth person," Shangguan Hong said to Mo Ling. She was not afraid in front of the top person in the ninth domain.

Mo Ling looked at Shangguan Hong and smiled faintly. Just as Shangguan Hong thought he was going to agree, he shook his head and said, "No."

Shangguan Hong panicked. "Why not? There's Soul Power in the token."

"I'm the person in charge here. If I say no, it means no."

Mo Ling's smile did not fade, and he said, "Unless that person comes personally, I won't approve of you as the fifth person."

Shangguan Hong's expression changed drastically, and the other three people's expressions were also very ugly.

As for the others, some were gloating, some were laughing secretly, and some were shaking their heads and sighing.

"You're going too far." Shangguan Hong was about to cry. This was her last resort.

"You don't have enough people, but I'm still allowing you to participate. I'm already very tolerant." Mo Ling's smile did not fade.

Just as Shangguan Hong was at a loss, the token in her hand suddenly turned into a ray of light and flew into the distance.
