âŠMeanwhile, at the Dragon Emperor Clan of the Middle ContinentâŠ
The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast was trying to say something as she observed the crowd in the mess, but she could not find any words. However, she immediately checked her badge with her Divine Sense as she suddenly became aware of something.
It was a piece of news from a disciple of the Dragon Emperor Clan, telling her that the other factions had departed for the Touring Dojo.
âSenior Monarch Beast, why donât you bring them to the Touring Dojo first. There is still some time left, so Iâll be waiting for master here.â Xuan Yue brought his fists together with a calm expression.
âWeâll stay too.â
Ao Changtian chuckled.
Jiu Jiu and Yang Qi wore grins as well.
If Qin Nan had not mentored them for three days, they would never have achieved their current height. As such, they had decided to wait for Qin Nan, to fulfill his ridiculous demand.
The surrounding disciples were stunned.
It was reasonable that Xuan Yue had decided to stay, but they did not expect the top three geniuses to stay too.
âThatâs fine too, but remember, if Qin Nan still does not return right before the start of the contest, you canât wait for him any longer.â The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast gave her piece of advice before glancing at the crowd, âAre you ready? Those who are shall follow me to the Touring Dojo!â
âWeâre ready!â
The crowd of disciples roared.
Following this, the disciples proceeded into the rift with the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast leading the way. Only Xuan Yue and the trio were left on the spacious dojo.
Whoosh whoosh!
At that instant, two figures suddenly appeared.
Ao Yue, Ao Cangtian, and the rest were shocked as they raised their heads, who brought their fists together and greeted at the same time, âChief, Senior Diabolic Qilin!â\nThe two figures were none other than the Dragon Emperor and the Diabolic Qilin Monarch Beast.
âHumph, what is this Qin Nan up to, to be late for such an important matter!â
The Dragon Emperor snapped.
Didnât Qin Nan know how important it was to secure a Monarch Horoscope?
Even though he had surpassed the rules of cultivation in a way which no one had done before, his cultivation would be stuck in the Martial Progenitor Realm without the Monarch Horoscope, and he would have to wait for the next Monarch Horoscope Contest.
The Diabolic Qilin Beast Monarch let out a smile as he stared into the distance.
Suddenly, the two Beast Monarchs and the four geniuses sensed someone approaching, causing them to look into the distance.
In the direction of the Human Peak, a pink skeleton led the way with a mouse sitting on her shoulder, followed by two hounds and eight skeletons.
âOh my, the two Monarch Beasts are looking at us!â The two hounds trembled in fear.
âWho are you?â The Dragon Emperor asked with a frown.
âChief, they are parts of masterâs crew.â Xuan Yue immediately answered.
The Dragon Emperor nodded without saying anything, but his instincts were telling him that there was something extraordinary about the skeleton.
Following this, the two Monarch Beasts, the top three geniuses of the Dragon Emperor Clan, Xuan Yue, and Skeleton Xiao Hong were all patiently anticipating someoneâs return on the dojo.
Time gradually passedâŠ
An hour later, at the Touring Dojo of the Middle ContinentâŠ
The initial sandstorm surrounding the place had been replaced by a huge monarch glow. Within it floated the illusionary figures of several mysterious palaces, surrounded by a few-hundred-zhang-tall figures like guards.
On the ground, the appearance of the Touring Dojo had completely changed too. It was now a spacious dojo with a length of ten thousand zhang and a width of nine thousand zhang, entirely golden in color. Its surface was carved with magical runes, resulting in a sacred feeling.\nFifteen white figures were standing at the end of the dojo, who were the mysterious Monarch Envoys.
The cultivators of various factions and the geniuses on the Monarch Ranking were standing in front of the Monarch Envoys, at least two thousand of them, resulting in a magnificent sight.
âIâm not sure if this Monarch Horoscope Contest is going to have thirteen Monarch Horoscopes just like the one of the God Ranking!â
âLook, the one wearing the long white robe is the mysterious fire cultivator, Fang Changqing!â
âIt was so cool when he arrived just now. The space all around him was set on fire!â
âDid you see that guy over there, heâs the eighth-ranked Faceless Rogue Cultivator!â
âGasp, his aura is so terrifying!â
âHehe, terrifying? Take a look at the person in the black robe standing behind him. She is the infamous Death Cultivator. Have you detected the deathly aura from her? Thatâs the definition of terrifying!â
âDamn, that goddamned fatty Sima Kong dared to show himself too!â
âMm, it seems like only one of the top ten geniuses of the Monarch Ranking has arrived?â
Countless voices were discussing across the dojo.
The geniuses were observing one another.
Many of them were also glaring at their enemies, for example, the Death Cultivator and the successor of the Emperor of Thieves. Many of the authorities almost broke their teeth because they were clenching them for too long. If they were allowed to use violence at the Touring Dojo, a grand battle would have erupted long ago.
BANG!
A deafening explosion took place.
The Martial Monarchs and geniuses on the dojo immediately glanced toward it.
They could see an enormous white nine-tailed fox stepping out from the rift. Its magnificent aura was close to suppressing the monarch glow of the dojo.
The crowd was startled.\nThe Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast!
The people of the Dragon Emperor Clan were here!
Jiang Bilan whose face had lacked expression since she had arrived finally showed some reaction. The smile on Sima Kongâs face who was standing nearby grew broader. Even Tang Qingshan who had been waiting with his eyes closed immediately opened his eyes wide.
Was he here?
The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast transformed into her human form with a charming smile as she landed on the dojo.
Behind her, Hua Dichen and the rest of the disciples appeared in an organized manner with an overwhelming aura.
Many among the crowd were astounded seeing this.
However, some of them immediately recognized something out of place.
âWhere is Ao Cangtian, Jiu Jiu, and Yang Qi? And Qin Nan? Why arenât they here?â
âThatâs strange, what are they up to?â
âOnly two of the top ten geniuses on the Monarch Ranking are present, and they are ranked relatively behind!â
Many people were confused.
Even the strongest disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect, Misty Immortal Sect, and Bodhi Temple had yet to arrive although the remaining disciples were already waiting on the dojo.
Jiang Bilan frowned, while Sima Kongâs smile was slightly withdrawn too.
However, at that instantâŠ
Five brilliant glows approached the dojo at a rapid pace from the distance, which turned out to be five thirty zhang long and five zhang wide ancient sabers piercing through the sky with a terrifying aura. On one of the sabers stood Dao Qianzhong with his hands behind his back while his robe flapped in the wind.
BANG!
Meanwhile, the rift in the other direction was torn apart, as a strong presence of Yin swept the place. Ten ferocious-looking demons with chains on their legs stepped out from the rift dragging a cart that was burning with a ghastly flame, as if hellâs emperor were visiting the living world.\nIn addition to thatâŠ
A few other overwhelming auras descended from above.\n
