Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 143 - 105: If Master Feared Nothing Back Then, Why Should Fan’Er Fear Anything Now? (Part 2)

Chapter 143: Chapter 105: If Master Feared Nothing Back Then, Why Should Fan’Er Fear Anything Now? (Part 2)

Suddenly, countless old disciples exchanged glances, each seeing endless terror in the other’s eyes.

As time passed and the list had yet to be announced, an infinite number of old disciples gradually fell into panic.

When Ye Xiaofan and Nangong Jianchen returned to the inner region of the Divine Sword Sect, it was packed with people, yet eerily quiet.

As they arrived, countless long rainbows shot up from the peaks of the Spirit Peaks and Divine Peaks, converging towards the summit of Divine Sword Peak.

"’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ is in trouble." Nangong Jianchen thought at the first moment he witnessed this scene, realizing that something major must have occurred over there; otherwise, the warships wouldn’t have returned so prematurely.

Two years, a full two years ahead of schedule.

It was incredibly shocking.

"Brother Ye, you should return to South Peak quickly. Perhaps the Sword Saint senior knows something. I’ll head back to Divine Sword Peak to gather news. If I find anything useful, we can inform each other."

"Alright."

After Nangong Jianchen finished speaking, he immediately headed towards Divine Sword Peak, and Ye Xiaofan also glanced lightly at the warships without hesitation and quickly left the Martial Arts Arena.

A quarter of an hour later.

At the summit of South Peak.

"Jian Shi, Jian Yu, where is Master?"

After searching in vain, Ye Xiaofan asked Jian Shi and Jian Yu.

The two Sword Boys seemed unconcerned about the old warships, answering in succession: "The Sword Master and Qi Yun senior just went to Divine Sword Peak together. It seems there’s something urgent."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan was stunned, realizing even Dugu Nan and Qi Yun had gone to Divine Sword Peak, indicating the issue with the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ was indeed significant.

Despite his urgent heart, Ye Xiaofan had no choice but to wait patiently for his master’s return, hoping to glean some clues from Dugu Nan’s words upon his return.

Yet Ye Xiaofan’s wait lasted until dusk, until night fell, and the world was completely engulfed in darkness, but Dugu Nan had still not returned.

Time slowly passed.

As the stars at the edge of the sky gradually dimmed, finally.

Dugu Nan and Qi Yun’s figures appeared at the summit of South Peak.

"Qi Senior, Master...?"

Seeing his master appear, Ye Xiaofan immediately approached, but Dugu Nan was coughing repeatedly, his brows seemingly tinged with faint anger.

Seeing Dugu Nan cough, Ye Xiaofan quickly helped him to sit by the small courtyard chessboard, eyes full of concern, "Master, your injury...?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Nan slowly waved his hand, indicating to Ye Xiaofan that he was fine, then sighed heavily, looking at Ye Xiaofan with a solemn gaze, yet said nothing. Even Qi Yun, sitting beside, wore a face full of gloom and remained silent.

Observing the expressions on Qi Senior and Master’s faces, Ye Xiaofan’s heart raced, evidently guessing something.

After a while, he finally smiled calmly, looking at Dugu Nan and said, "Master, has Fan’Er been selected?"

Ye Xiaofan’s mention of selection naturally referred to the list for the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’.

Dugu Nan lowered his head slightly, his action precisely verifying Ye Xiaofan’s conjecture, he indeed had been selected.

Qi Yun finally spoke up after deeply glancing at Dugu Nan.

"This time, the disciples heading for the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ are unprecedented in scale."

"Over ninety percent of those from the Seventy-Two Small Peaks have been selected."

"The One Hundred and Eight Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands and the Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Pride Mansions have virtually all been dispatched."

"Though you haven’t been in the sect for three years, you are already a disciple of the Seventy-second Small Peak, and with the current special situation..."

Qi Yun stopped speaking at this point, but the answer was already evident.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaofan was shaken inside. Seeing the lingering anger in Dugu Nan’s brows, he suddenly understood. His master had probably tried to fight for him at Divine Sword Peak, but the sect’s rules were the sect’s rules. Even as the First Generation Sword Saint, he couldn’t change the fate of his disciple being selected.

"This time, the Divine Sword Sect’s selection mechanism is entirely random, and no one can intervene," Qi Yun added. Ye Xiaofan, being the holder of the Seventeenth Small Peak, naturally was among the randomly selected, and unfortunately, chosen.

If Dugu Nan were still in his prime, he might have been able to forcefully turn the situation around.

However, the Sword Saint, nearing the end of his life, had many considerations that couldn’t be ignored, and even for Ye Xiaofan’s future safety, he couldn’t completely fall out with the Divine Sword Sect.

Understanding all this, Ye Xiaofan felt relieved. He looked at Dugu Nan with ease, not wanting his master to worry because of him, trying his best to appear natural. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Master, Fan’Er... is ready."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Nan quietly gazed at Ye Xiaofan, slowly shaking his head, murmuring, "I’ll think of another way, I’ll think of another way."

Understanding the Sword Saint’s awareness of the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ turmoil, he seemingly didn’t want his Fan’Er to risk his life, although Ye Xiaofan was already an unparalleled prodigy on the Seventy-second Small Peak, shining over countless old disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, in the Sword Saint’s eyes, he had yet to fully become self-sufficient.

Seeing Dugu Nan caught in a dilemma, Ye Xiaofan knew that the Sword Saint today, although still formidable, was no longer as he once was. Many matters were beyond his ability to handle.
