Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

After hearing Yang Dingtian’s analysis, the Fiery Sun Sect Disciples also understood their current predicament.

They had previously hunted Ye Wushuang, but not only did they fail to kill him, they lost many Disciples in the process. Compared to the other powers, they no longer held any advantage.

If they didn’t leave now, they would likely become prey for the other influences.

”Leave!”

Following Yang Dingtian’s command, the Fiery Sun Sect Disciples turned and left.

With someone taking the lead, powers like the Demon Abyss and the Celestial Sword Sect also left one after another.

As long as they left the Earth Palace and guarded the Earth Palace Gate, Ye Wushuang would still have no way out.

”Let’s go, too!”

The likes of the Illusion Race and the Feather Race also followed and left.

”Ye Wushuang, you’d best die in here. If you make it out, my Cyan Race will never let you go.” The Cyan Race’s Qing Wei gave the top of the tower a cold glance, then turned and departed.

That strange young man from the so-called Corpse Sect also looked up at the top of the tower before turning to leave.

At the same time, a group of Loose Cultivators also began to leave.

Among these people, some hadn’t witnessed Ye Wushuang’s feat of ascending past the ninetieth floor, but they had heard about it from others.

Though they had never seen Ye Wushuang, they had committed the name of Ye Wushuang, the God of Slaughter, to memory.

For a time, only a group of Disciples from the Ancient Spirit Sect and the people from the Yunlan Ancient Teachings remained.

And, of course, two other people.

One was Feng Jue.

The other was Tang Yunxuan.

Feng Jue stood silently for a moment before his figure slipped into the crowd of Loose Cultivators to carry out the task Ye Wushuang had given him.

As for Tang Yunxuan, her expression was extremely complicated, filled with an indescribable emotion.

After glancing at Yangg Qing’er, she ultimately chose to leave.

In the Ancient Spirit Sect group, Mo Wentian withdrew his gaze and said, ”Qingxue, look, the Earth Palace Gate is about to close. We should head out first.”

”Senior Sister, Brother Ye hasn’t come out yet. I want to wait for him.”

Yangg Qing’er looked toward Dii Qingxue.

”Xiaoshuang isn’t out yet. I’m waiting for him, too.” Ye Rou’s beautiful eyes were fixed on the top of the tower, her small fists clenched tightly in anxiety.

If he didn’t come out soon, the Earth Palace Gate would close, and he would have to wait for the next three hundred years.

’If that really happens, I’d rather stay here and wait with him.’

Not only had the two women not retreated, but Qianling, Jian Bufan, and Qiu Mo also hadn’t left. Their faces showed no change, but their clenched fists betrayed their current feelings.

On the other side, Yuann Qingmeng hadn’t left either. She prayed in her heart, ’Brother Ye, you have to hurry up and get out!’

Seeing Yuann Qingmeng’s reluctance, the handsome and majestic Feng Yang beside her said, ”Junior Sister Yuann, we should go.”

”Senior Brother, just a little longer. Please, I’m begging you, just a little longer.”

Yuann Qingmeng looked at Feng Yang imploringly.

At this, Feng Yang’s eyes, as brilliant as stars, narrowed. He clearly hadn’t expected Yuann Qingmeng to care so much about Ye Wushuang.

However, aware of Yuann Qingmeng’s status, he did not refuse and waited with her a while longer.

There was still no movement from the Divine Communication Tower.

”Qingmeng, let’s go wait outside. If we stay here any longer, none of us will be able to get out,” Feng Yang said.

Hearing this, Yuann Qingmeng turned to look at the anxious crowd.

”Junior Sister, you have to trust Brother Ye. He’s blessed by fortune. So many people failed to kill him; he’ll definitely be fine,” Yunn Dong said, stepping forward.

Hearing this, Yuann Qingmeng was quite reluctant. She hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. Dragging this out any longer would endanger everyone.

Feng Yang then glanced at the group from the Ancient Spirit Sect before leading the Disciples of the Yunlan Ancient Teachings away.

”Let’s go, too.”

Dii Qingxue, who had been silent all this time, also called out, pulling Yangg Qing’er with her as she turned.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Spirit Sect Disciples looked as if they had been granted amnesty. They turned around joyfully. If they didn’t leave now, they would all be finished, buried in the Earth Palace.

Ye Rou didn’t move.

As if sensing her thoughts, Dii Qingxue turned back and reminded her, ”If he gets out but you’re trapped in here, I’m sure that’s not what he would want to see.”

”He got out?”

Hearing this, Ye Rou’s heart suddenly leaped. She turned to look at Dii Qingxue. ”Senior Sister Dii, did you...”

Before Ye Rou could finish her question, Dii Qingxue said, ”Let’s go out and wait first.”

Hearing this, Ye Rou struggled internally for a few moments before turning to follow. Just as Dii Qingxue had said, she was afraid of being left behind if Ye Wushuang managed to get out.

’Ye Wushuang would probably go crazy then.’

The group left the great plains, unaware that shortly after their departure, a figure appeared on the very top floor, looking down in all directions.

...

「Celestial Abyss, at the Earth Palace Gate.」

The elders from the various major influences were all waiting. The Earth Palace trial was over, and they all hoped the Disciples from their Sects had made some gains.

As expected, Disciples emerged one by one, overjoyed.

Among them, the Disciples from the major influences sought out their respective Sects.

As for the Loose Cultivators, they worried the Sect powers would target them, so the moment they left, they rushed out of the Celestial Abyss and fled into the distance.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian, Yuh Yuzhen, and a group of others were guarding the front of the Earth Palace Gate.

Ye Rou, Yangg Qing’er, and the others were also staring intently at the Earth Palace Gate.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the Earth Palace Gate began to tremble. The nine diamond-shaped stone platforms swirled with Divine Light, shooting out nine beams that lanced into the gate.

Instantly, the massive vortex in the sky descended, and a terrifying aura pressed down on the crowd.

”Get away from here!”

Realizing the Earth Palace Gate was about to disappear, the crowd retreated explosively.

Dii Qingxue also released a powerful force, pulling Ye Rou, Yangg Qing’er, and the others away from the Earth Palace Gate.

BOOM!

The vortex in the void enveloped the Earth Palace Gate, as if trying to devour it.

The Earth Palace Gate suddenly erupted with beams of nine-colored Divine Light, each dozens of feet long, piercing through the void.

Among them, one beam of light was different from the rest. It stretched for hundreds of feet, shot out of the Celestial Abyss, and vanished in an instant.

BOOM!

The great earth trembled, and a huge fissure split open in the Celestial Abyss.

The diamond-shaped stone platforms sank into the ground, causing the expressions of the various power leaders to change. They led their Disciples away from the Celestial Abyss.

Behind them, the nine diamond-shaped stone platforms disappeared into the earth, and the Earth Palace Gate sank along with them.

”Ye Wushuang has been buried in the Earth Palace!”

The group of strongest Disciples was extremely unwilling to accept this. Ye Wushuang possessed Heaven-Defying Opportunities, yet he was buried in the earth along with the Earth Palace. They could only wait three hundred years.

But by then, they would no longer be able to enter.

”Still, it’s good that he’s dead!”

Then, they sneered coldly, not sparing the Celestial Abyss another glance as they went to find their own Sects.

”Xiaoshuang!”

Seeing the Earth Palace Gate close without any sign of Ye Wushuang, Ye Rou let out a mournful cry, unable to accept this reality, and fainted on the spot.

Yangg Qing’er’s eyes were also brimming with tears.

Dii Qingxue held Ye Rou in her arms and led Yangg Qing’er away from the Celestial Abyss.

”What a pity. Ye Wushuang’s Destiny was profound and his talent extraordinary. With proper nurturing, he would have absolutely become another terrifyingly strong top Disciple.”

”It’s just a shame he was buried in the Earth Palace. Although Cultivators have long lifespans, three hundred years is still a long time. I wonder if he can last until the next time the Earth Palace opens?”

A few Loose Cultivators gazed at the Celestial Abyss, shaking their heads and sighing.
