Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1693: Jiu Yan Arrives

Dongli Sword Palace.

Sword Palace Square.

Xiao Yi, Ye Liu, Ran Qi, the Sword Palace Chief, and Lingg Hong all arrived at the viewing seat.

Ao Donglou, the Sword Palace Elder, stood up.

Within the martial arts arena, the original referee elders had also returned to the viewing seats, standing shoulder to shoulder with other Sword Palace Elders.

Ao Donglou looked at the five, including Xiao Yi, and the hundreds of thousands of martial artists and thousands of heavenly talents from various Central Region powers.

After a moment, he smiled knowingly and said loudly, "Everyone, all competitions have ended."

"The five spots and the final rankings of the five heavenly talents have also been determined."

"This time, the contest for spots, a grand event in the Central Region, has ended perfectly."

"Our Dongli Sword Palace is honored to host this grand event, all thanks to the trust of everyone."

"Palace Master Ao, you overstate." Martial artists from various powers stood up and cupped their hands.

Hundreds of thousands of martial artists spoke in unison.

The scene was quite spectacular.

However, this is the power of the strong, also the dignity of the strong.

Dongli Sword Palace is one of the three great sword palaces of today.

Ao Donglou, as the Palace Master, is also the strongest below legends of the Central Region.

He is enough to make the martial artists of all powers stand up, not daring to be negligent.

Ao Donglou looked at Xiao Yi and the other 5 people, nodded, and said, "The five heavenly talents, please wait a moment."

"Our Dongli Sword Palace will soon prepare the rewards."

"Palace Master Ao is too kind, no rush." The five cupped their hands.

After a while, a Sword Palace Elder brought over the rewards.

Ao Donglou received it and first looked at Xiao Yi.

"Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, this is the reward for the first place."

Xiao Yi nodded and accepted it, it was a Universe Ring.

Ao Donglou smiled and said, "A huge amount of cultivation resources and our Dongli Sword Palace’s Supreme Sword Technique copy are inside."

"Thanks for the trouble." Xiao Yi replied.

"No need to be so polite." Ao Donglou waved his hand and then chuckled bitterly, "In fact, I still don’t know the reason Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao participated in this competition."

In his view, the illustrious Purple Flame Yi Xiao, with a reputation that is sky-high today, would find it easy to gain a spot.

Why bother to specially come to Dongli Sword Palace for this competition?

He couldn’t imagine that Yi Xiao came here not for the precious spot, but only for the secondary cultivation resources.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not answer.

Ao Donglou did not pursue further questions, glanced at the person next to him.

"Young Master Ye Liu, this is your reward for second place."

"Thank you, Palace Master Ao." Ye Liu cupped his hands.

Ao Donglou nodded and moved to the next person.

"Young Master Ran Qi, this is your reward for third place."

"Thanks." Ran Qi cupped his hands, speaking concisely.

"Hehe." Ao Donglou knew Ran Qi’s character and didn’t mind, turned to the next person.

"Yinfeng, work hard from now on."

"Yes, Palace Master." The fourth person nodded respectfully.

The fourth person was the Chief of Dongli Sword Palace, Ao Yinfeng.

Ao Yinfeng himself had good strength, not weak compared to most heavenly talents of the Eighteen Mansions.

However, he did not go on stage to compete.

Because he already had a spot.

From before the competition started, a spot had been allocated to Dongli Sword Palace and was recognized by various powers of the Central Region.

Of course, there was a price.

The price was that Dongli Sword Palace was responsible for all matters of this competition.

Including the huge rewards after the spots were determined, and a copy of their Supreme Sword Technique.

It’s obvious that without benefits, no power would willingly give out rewards and exhaust a lot of manpower and resources to host such a grand event.

And as the spot for the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, all powers were eager for it, showing the preciousness of this spot.

Naturally, being able to acquire a spot directly, Dongli Sword Palace was willing to pay these prices.

Another point, even if a power is willing to pay the price to host this competition, it also needs the recognition from all powers of the Central Region.

Otherwise, if there was a bias in the competition, it would be troublesome.

And Dongli Sword Palace is inherently a neutral power.

Moreover, the Sect is located in the Extreme East, and its disciples, martial artists, and others rarely travel outside, keeping a low profile.

Naturally, they are the best choice to host the event.

Ao Yinfeng’s strength couldn’t compare to Ye Liu, Ran Qi, and others.

But compared to Heu Youu and Xue Bai and others, he was evenly matched, slightly stronger than Lingg Hong.

If he really wanted to compete, he might have had a chance to win a spot.

But, accidents are unpredictable.

Thus, being able to have a spot directly is naturally a good thing.

"Young Master Lingg Hong." At this time, Ao Donglou moved to the fifth person.

Precisely Lingg Hong.

"This is your reward." Ao Donglou handed over the Universe Ring.

"Thank you, Palace Master Ao." Lingg Hong was full of joy, cupping his hands heavily.

Ao Donglou smiled and nodded.

On the surrounding viewing seats, most martial artists had strange expressions.

Heu Youu, Xue Bai, and others were indignant, staring intently at Lingg Hong.

"This guy, really lucky."

On the main viewing seat, Ao Donglou looked at everyone loudly, "All competitions have ended."

"Rewards have also been distributed."

"The contest for spots ends here."

"Later, our Dongli Sword Palace will host a banquet for all of you, please do us the honor."

...

The contest for spots thus came to a complete end.

The last 5 spots for the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb were thoroughly determined.

Here at Sword Palace Square, various powers began to leave.

Xiao Yi, Ran Qi, and Ye Liu also left the main viewing seat.

The 5 spots went to Yi Xiao, Ye Liu, Ran Qi, Ao Yinfeng, and Lingg Hong.

Originally, with Shui Ninghan’s strength, she was sure to get a spot.

But according to the competition rules, one of them had to be eliminated in the end.

And they each had multiple chances to fight to strive for fairness.

However, Shui Ninghan’s direct surrender made it unnecessary to continue fighting.

Naturally, 5 spots were immediately allocated, without further battle.

As for the final rankings of the five, it was supposed to be contested, to distinguish their levels.

But actually, the five knew their own strengths, so they did not fight.

Yi Xiao was acknowledged as the first, no need to compete, even if they did they would be blown away by his punch.

Ao Yinfeng and Lingg Hong’s rankings were undisputed.

The only dispute was between Ran Qi and Ye Liu.

However, they also did not compete.

So the final ranking match of the five didn’t occur, they agreed among themselves to end it directly.

At this point, Xiao Yi, Ran Qi, and Ye Liu left the main viewing seat together.

Ye Liu suddenly said, "Ran Qi, Brother Yi getting first is beyond doubt."

"But about our rankings, perhaps..."

Ran Qi curled his lips, interrupting, "I bumped into two monsters in a row this time, it’s been enough of a blow, no interest in fighting anymore."

"Today, second place goes to you first."

"When you get married, I’ll personally bring a generous gift to your Ye Family."

"It’s not too late to fight again in the leisure afterwards."

"Good, then it’s agreed." Ye Liu laughed heartily.

"The competition is over, you guys are about to leave, right?" Ye Liu suddenly asked.

"We’ll leave after attending the banquet." Ran Qi responded.

"Me too." Ye Liu nodded, "Brother Yi, what about you?"

"Me?" Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "I’m rushing to seclude, after seclusion, I’ll leave."

"Not attending the banquet?" Ye Liu asked in surprise.

Xiao Yi shook his head, just about to answer.

Suddenly... from afar, a fiery stream of light came swiftly.

The astonishing sky-breaking sound and the scorching fire waves from thousands of miles away shocked all martial artists present.

Even Ao Donglou’s expression changed, "So strong, who is it?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Swish... in just a few breaths.

The fiery figure arrived above Dongli Sword Palace.

"Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao, finished the competition?"

It was Jiu Yan.

"Jiu Yan?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly, a sudden disturbing thought flashed in his mind.

...

First update.
