Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

"Senior brother, are we just leaving like this?"

"Of course, if we don't leave now, when will we?"

That guy is no match for you.

"And given that guy's status, it would be very easy for him to find out who we are."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mo nodded in understanding:

"What you say makes sense, Senior Brother."

As the two were talking, a dazzling blue beam of light suddenly shot towards them at an incredible speed.

Seeing the speed of the fleeing light, Zhang Mo and the others, with their knowledge, immediately determined that this was undoubtedly a Core Formation cultivator.

As expected, the prediction at the end of the chapter was correct. The light slowly receded, revealing an old man in white robes.

"You and your group have violated the rules of the conference and are hereby disqualified from the conference."

Now, all of you, come with me.

"Huh? Violating the rules of the event? When did this happen? I didn't know about it." The middle-aged man looked bewildered and at a loss.

"Senior, are you mistaken? We haven't violated any of the tournament rules."

"Hmph, are you kidding me? What are you talking about? Do you think I'm senile?"

It was clearly stated at the conference that all cultivators participating in the conference were prohibited from forming teams. Have you forgotten that?

"Huh? We can't team up? Is there such a rule?"

The middle-aged man looked puzzled. When he was in Star Palace Square, he was so focused on watching the young palace master that he hadn't noticed this at all.

"Junior brother, is there such a rule?"

"Okay... I think I do?" Zhang Mo said, his lips pale. After the old man in white reminded him, he finally remembered.

The old man in white is right; none of the cultivators participating in the conference can form teams.

Those who violate this rule will be fined one year's salary and forced to go out on missions for three years.

broken?

How could I forget?

The old man in white looked annoyed, pointing at Zhang Mo and the others, and said with disappointment:

"You lot have remembered, haven't you? Since you've remembered, then say no more and come with me now."

This scene often occurs in other areas as well.

Some cultivators simply didn't know, or some wanted to take the risk.

Without exception, all of these cultivators were arrested and their participation in the conference was immediately revoked.

At the same time, from that moment on, everyone behaved themselves and obediently killed the monsters by themselves.

.........

At this moment, on a deserted island, booming sounds rose and fell, and explosions rang out incessantly.

A man wielding a silver spear was seen fighting a demonic beast, and the two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

About half a day later, as the monster gradually became exhausted, the man found an opportunity and thrust his spear into the monster's head.

With a piercing scream, the monster collapsed and quickly died.

"Phew, this beast is really hard to kill."

The man drew his spear and skillfully dismembered the monster. After he had collected all the monster's heads, a smile finally appeared on his face.

This is the tenth one.

The man was very satisfied. Based on his speed in hunting demons, he should be the first person to do so, right?

Thinking of this, the man looked up at the sky, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Grandpa, can't you just let me kill the demon properly? Why do you have to make me cause trouble for that person?"

The man shook his head helplessly, then took out a yellow talisman from his storage bag. After thinking for a few moments, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his hand and tossed it lightly. The yellow talisman shot into the air and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Three days later, a shocking piece of news suddenly spread: the grandson of the Mad Taoist suddenly challenged Ji Qing to a duel.

The terms of the challenge were very simple: the winner would receive everything the opponent owned, except for the person.

The location is on Tianyou Island. If Ji Qing does not agree to the challenge, then this challenge will be over.

Those who don't understand this challenge can just treat it as entertainment.

Those who understood the situation knew that this was a provocation by the arrogant Taoist against the authority of the Grand Elder.

As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Mad Daoist cultivates the "Dragon Elephant Undying Scripture," which is said to be ranked second in the Chaotic Star Sea. He is a true body cultivator with ridiculously strong combat power.

If he hadn't been defeated by Jin Kui by a single move back then, he probably would have been the Grand Elder of the Star Palace.

Therefore, many people are not optimistic about Ji Qing's chances in this bet.

The reason is simple: three years ago, Lin Xuanye killed a rogue cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining with his third-level Qi Refining cultivation.

Although the process of killing was influenced by many factors, it doesn't diminish the fact that they have this record.

It's important to understand that while the techniques are excellent, their effectiveness depends on the individual.

Furthermore, when a body cultivator fights another cultivator of the same level, it's essentially a case of "dimensional reduction attack."

"Ji Qing is probably in trouble. If he agrees to the fight, he's sure to lose."

If he's afraid of the pain and refuses the challenge, he'll probably lose all face for the Grand Elder.

In short, this was just a tactic to humiliate Jin Kui; Ji Qing was merely an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

"That damned Lin Xuanye, does he really think I can't deal with him?" Ling Yuling said angrily, looking like she wanted to skin Lin Xuanye alive.

Without any hesitation, she immediately headed towards Tianyou Island.

.........

"A challenge? How ridiculous! So this is the trouble the old geezer was talking about?"

Ji Qing said expressionlessly, "To be honest, if I could, I wouldn't want to challenge anyone, but unfortunately, the mark in my body was suddenly triggered."

Left with no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and participate.

"Lin Xuanye, right? I do have a vague impression of him."

If I remember correctly, this guy should be a body cultivator, and his cultivation level has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"That damn guy."

"You think you can bully me just because you're a body cultivator? Well, you've really picked the wrong person."

...........

Three days passed quickly.

Tianyou Island was now overcrowded with people, as all the cultivators participating in the hunting tournament had come here to watch the battle.

"Should we do something about these two kids? Their fight is seriously disrupting the hunting tournament."

Upon hearing this, the young man shook his head and replied:

"Forget it, this conference is beyond our control."

As the young man spoke, his dark, inky eyes gradually deepened:

"Fellow Daoist Li, haven't you realized by now that this battle has already involved Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Let's just pretend we don't see this thankless task.

Anyway, when the blame comes down, it'll just be a fine on their salary.

Upon hearing this, the old man in white fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he whispered:

"It seems that's all we can do."

"Yes, that's all we can do. Let's just wait and see what happens. No one should interfere or disturb them. Let's just watch their fight end quietly."
