Inside the Princess Mansion, the incident where Xie Tianyu was subdued in one move did not spread, and even the servants within the mansion were unaware that there were audacious individuals who had infiltrated and were waiting to harm the princess! If this matter were to leak out, it would certainly cause a tremendous uproar in the Sky Abyss Empire!
Of course, aside from the unfortunate butler, who quickly regained consciousness and reported the situation to the princess, it seemed that no one else could know such a shocking secret!
Having been knocked unconscious by Xie Tianyu twice, the first time was due to the princess's absence, which delayed his report. The second time seemed justifiable; Alfalfa did not blame this scatterbrained butler. In reality, this butler was only somewhat competent in managing household affairs!
As for matters involving fighting and killing, he was completely out of his depth. However, this did not bring Alfalfa any additional distress. Although Xie Tianyu remained tight-lipped after being knocked out by Guileful Shadow, she appeared to have plenty of patience!
He was locked away in a privately established underground chamber. It was as if this person had never existed in the vast Princess Mansion... Time passed slowly, and soon two days had gone by!
During these two days, the Princess Mansion remained peaceful. The renowned Alfalfa did not venture outside, seemingly choosing to live in seclusion. In truth, it was simply because Xie Tianyu had been unconscious for two consecutive days!
This also demonstrated Guileful Shadow's extraordinary strength!
However, after these two days, an Auspicious Day arrived! Throughout the Divine Martial Continent, there were many auspicious days throughout the year, but today was destined to be special!
This would be the moment when the Qin Empire's Envoy Group would face off against the Core Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism!
As early as two days ago, news of the Envoy Group entering the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had spread rapidly. Warriors from across the Sky Abyss Empire were eager to enter the Heavenly Mechanism Mountain Range to witness this rare event!
Considering that many would come seeking to watch, the higher-ups of Heavenly Mechanism Sect only invited representatives from some well-known sects to attend as spectators—individuals of notable standing. Naturally, Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect were included!
The arena had been prepared in advance and set up in a spacious area within the Heavenly Mechanism Mountain Range. In less than two days' time, the fighting arena had been established quite thoroughly, covering approximately one thousand square meters of combat space, all paved with hard granite for maximum durability!
This was done specifically to prevent damage from battles leaving traces behind!
The audience was also arranged with seating; those seats were about one kilometer away from the combat area. While it may sound exaggerated, for warriors with keen eyesight, this distance was practically negligible!
It was merely to avoid harming spectators that such strict regulations were put in place!
The Outer Sect disciples who entered early began discussing eagerly before the official competitors arrived. They speculated on which Core Disciple Heavenly Mechanism Sect would send to compete in this prophetic tournament! They were particularly concerned about whether they could win!
In addition to that, news of the Envoy Group's prophet 'passing' inevitably spread. While people expressed shock and sorrow over it, there was little lingering sentiment because they were focused on what lay ahead—who would be sent as a substitute by the Envoy Group was what everyone truly cared about!
It must be mentioned that the weather on this day was exceptionally good, just as Strategist Yuxiu had predicted. The sun was particularly strong, even more so than usual, and under the ample sunlight, the heat gradually rose!
Despite the reduced number of spectators, there were still over ten thousand present! Most of them were disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, who had come at the behest of their sect leader, eager to learn from this rare battle.
As for the representatives from the Outer Sect, they numbered less than a thousand. After some complaints, everyone understood that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could have easily barred any outsiders from observing, after all, this was a rare learning opportunity!
However, in keeping with the grand tradition of the sect, Sky Whirlwind generously allocated seats for those martial artists, which was already quite magnanimous. Amidst the complaints and the crowding, the heat intensified! The scene was bustling with noise and excitement!
To an outsider, it might have seemed like a grand assembly!
In this crowded atmosphere, under the gaze of many stars, the current leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, the War God Tianshuanzi, along with various Hall Masters, appeared before everyone!
Sky Whirlwind was dressed in a white robe, and under the sunlight, his dark hair appeared strikingly vibrant and showed no signs of aging, radiating a silver sheen!
Upon seeing this prominent figure emerge, all spectators instinctively quieted down. Everyone understood that in the martial world, strength commands respect; a supreme warrior deserves the highest honor and respect!
The leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was no exception!
“Taiyi Tower! Azure Thunder Sect! … We greet Master Sky Whirlwind!” The polite greetings rose in unison like a rhythmic chorus!
The sound of thousands resonated powerfully enough to echo through the air! Those with slightly lower cultivation felt their ears ringing from the volume!
Yet Sky Whirlwind did not blink an eye; he fully embodied Ye Feng's demeanor. Smiling and waving his hand, he responded warmly: “I also greet you all! Thank you for coming to my Heavenly Mechanism Sect to witness this rare event! This place is not large enough to accommodate everyone; we can only squeeze together a bit more. I hope for your understanding!”
Watching his lips move, it was clear that his speech was very elegant; yet his voice carried clearly to thousands of ears. This impressive mastery truly commanded admiration!
The onlookers responded enthusiastically: “Master is too polite! …”
Such pleasantries continued for about five minutes. In that moment, Sky Whirlwind's demeanor and presence reached unprecedented heights. Once these formalities concluded, he stepped aside from the spotlight and began introducing the two contestants who would be appearing next!
The first contestant was Feng Ye, a substitute prophet from the Envoy Group who had issued a challenge to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect as a guest!
Disguised as Feng Ye, Ye Feng stepped into the arena, surveying his surroundings. He was almost taken aback by the spectacle, but quickly regained his composure. After making a round and bowing to everyone, he finally faced Sky Whirlwind with a nod, ready to welcome the next contestant.
In that instant, thousands of spectators were scrutinizing Feng Ye closely. Almost everyone was releasing their senses to gauge his level of strength. No one had heard of this person before, and the thought that he would represent the Qin Empire's Envoy Group in battle sparked renewed conversations among the crowd.
"Hey, isn't that the guy who rode in at the end with the Royal Golden Knights Order just a couple of days ago?"
"Oh right, I remember now!"
"Do you think this guy, looking rather unremarkable, can defeat a Core Disciple from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
"Heh, I doubt it. Just look at him; he seems like he wouldn't last long in a fight. He might get eliminated in just a few rounds!"
Most of the commentators shared this sentiment, but a few skilled individuals noticed something special about Feng Ye and voiced differing opinions.
"Not necessarily. That kid is keeping a low profile; how can you judge his strength? At least I can't sense what level he is at. Just based on that, he's already ahead of us."
"Come on, that's just stating the obvious! We all know we can't compete, but what kind of sect is the Heavenly Mechanism Sect? It's the top Heavenly Level Sect in Sky Abyss Empire! Even their weakest Core Disciple must be at least a Martial Saint!"
"Hey, I don't like that comment. Why is it automatically the top Heavenly Level Sect in Sky Abyss Empire? What about our Azure Thunder Sect?"
"Exactly! And what about our Taiyi Tower?"
As disagreements escalated into bickering, some older martial artists seemed uninterested in intervening, allowing the situation to spiral out of control. Soon enough, discussions turned into insults, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
"Enough! Everyone settle down! You were invited to watch; that means we are giving you face! This isn't a marketplace; if you want to argue, go home!" Finally, someone could no longer stand it and shouted with a powerful True Energy voice.
The shout was loud enough to nearly drown out the voices of thousands. Everyone was startled by this voice, thinking it might be an extraordinary master from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect who was displeased with their behavior. Almost simultaneously, the quarrel ceased.
However, when people realized that the source of the voice appeared to be just another young man, they collectively gasped. The young man looked quite ordinary and was rather short, making him an inconspicuous figure in the crowd.
Yet it was precisely this unremarkable character who managed to silence everyone with his shout! This caught the attention of several seasoned Martial Saints.
"Eh? Old Master, look at that kid; he seems a bit like the Southern Lion King's..." Feng Zhengyang, the current Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and the most skilled martial artist among them, spotted the young man in the crowd through his keen sense of hearing and immediately released his perception!
In the end, he was shocked to discover that the kid was actually at the late stage of Martial Saint!
In fact, without this old madman's reminder, Qianjizi had already noticed that young man. As a Divination Master, his ability to read people was arguably the best in the Sky Abyss Empire! He not only saw the young man's potential but also felt that he was very likely a disciple of the Southern Lion King!
The Southern Lion King is a well-known rogue cultivator on the Divine Martial Continent, Ye Feng! Alongside the Western Camel King, Northern Ice King, and Eastern Tomb Sword God, he is recognized as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Divine Martial Continent!
Even Sky Whirlwind might not be able to match these four!
The reason they could sense from such a distance that this young man was likely a disciple of the Southern Lion King was none other than that overwhelming sound technique, which could only belong to the Southern Lion King's Lion's Roar!
"Hehe, it seems our Heavenly Mechanism Sect is really lively this time; even a Heavenly King's disciple has come to join in on the fun. But I heard that disciples of the Four Heavenly Kings rarely make an appearance; how did we end up encountering one!"
Feng Zhengyang spoke with some confusion and excitement. If it weren't for his age making him reluctant to lose face, he would have liked to compete with that young man. Known for his bad temper, he also had quite a loud voice!
Today, having discovered someone with an even louder voice, he couldn't help but feel tempted. However, thinking about his status as an elder, he ultimately gave up on that idea!
Qianjizi and the others knew exactly what he was thinking and ignored him! Sky Whirlwind cast a meaningful glance into the crowd of thousands; without a doubt, that gaze was directed at the young man!
