Yang Tian looked up and saw a crack.
The Nuwa Celestial God emerged from it.
"Nuwa!"
In the sky, a massive skull emitted a deep shout.
"Chiyou, what are you trying to do? Yang Tian is my direct disciple, are you trying to kill him?"
The Nuwa Celestial God flew out, transforming into a stunning woman with a human body and a snake’s tail.
Chiyou’s face was sullen, and he looked at Nuwa coldly: "Nuwa, since when did you take Yang Tian as your disciple? He disrupted the Martial Arts Tournament, deserving of death!"
Yang Tian never expected that Chiyou would turn around and accuse him.
"Yang Tian has trained in my Divine Technique, which means he has my approval. I allowed him to directly enter the Nuwa Sect, yet he gave up the opportunity himself to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament and formally join my sect. Such a disciple is of high moral standing, on what grounds do you have to kill him!"
Nuwa cried out sternly.
Chiyou’s expression turned cold: "On what grounds? The fact that he killed Hua Tiandu is enough to punish him!"
"I’ve already heard about Hua Tiandu’s matter. He was my Outer Disciple, so this is none of your concern!"
Nuwa said coldly.
Chiyou’s face darkened: "Nuwa, aren’t you supposed to be eliminating disasters in the Human Realm? What are you doing here?"
"Chiyou, stop pretending ignorance in front of me, the incident in Huaxia certainly involves you!"
Nuwa said coldly.
"Both of us originated from Huaxia, we could say Huaxia is our homeland. If even Huaxia is to be destroyed, that would be truly devoid of righteousness!"
Chiyou spoke in a deep voice.
"Enough talk, Chiyou, I’m not in the mood to argue with you today. I heard you have a Core Disciple who also participated in the Martial Arts Tournament. Let her fight Yang Tian. We have our duel, they have their fighting style. If you bully the weak with strength, that’s unrighteous!"
Nuwa said coldly.
Chiyou snorted coldly. He realized he couldn’t kill Yang Tian today: "Fine, I will have Li Min kill Yang Tian!"
After saying this, the massive skull dispersed and transformed into a man about two meters tall.
The man cast a cold glance at Yang Tian, then departed, vanishing without a trace.
Once Chiyou left, Nuwa waved her hand, and a divine glow gathered on Yang Tian’s body.
The injuries on Yang Tian’s body healed instantly.
Then, Yang Tian felt Nuwa’s Divine Sense probe into his body. Shortly afterward, Nuwa said: "Yang Tian, you must seize the time to train. Your current Divine Technique is only at the fourth level. I want you to reach the ninth level within half a year to assist me in eradicating Chiyou!"
Yang Tian respectfully knelt on the ground: "Please rest assured, Master, I will not let you down!"
"Mm." Nuwa nodded, paused, and then said, "The disasters in the Human Realm are not limited to Huaxia; I’m afraid the entire Human Realm will suffer. Yanhuang is already handling it, and I must return too. I believe you will not disappoint me!"
With that, Nuwa entered the crack and disappeared as well.
"This Chiyou, is he trying to destroy the entire Human Realm? His ambition is truly great, aiming to become the King of the Seven Realms!"
Yang Tian murmured gravely.
But he also knew that these matters did not concern him much.
After all, with his current strength, he couldn’t possibly contend against Chiyou. If a disaster struck the Human Realm, he couldn’t do much to help.
The only thing he could do now was to become stronger!
With a flicker, Yang Tian had already entered the South Sea, arriving at the hotel where he was staying.
In the following days, the participating Martial Artists would compete for the final hundred spots. Only those who placed in the top hundred would qualify for the points competition.
Yang Tian had just returned to the hotel and saw Hua Yueyue waiting in the lobby.
This hotel was owned by Yihua Palace.
The manager could only stand respectfully behind Hua Yueyue, and opposite her sat four elders with cold expressions.
The divine aura on these elders was extremely deep. If he wasn’t mistaken, they were the equivalent of senior members of Yihua Palace.
"Yang Tian, you’re back!"
Upon seeing Yang Tian, Hua Yueyue quickly stood up.
Those four senior elders also stood up with a swoosh, surrounding Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, Master Hua has encountered trouble, did you know!"
Yang Tian frowned.
Hua Tiandu had just died, and these elders came rushing over. There was no doubt that it was Chiyou who released the news.
It puzzled Yang Tian that Chiyou hadn’t disclosed Yang Tian’s slaying of Hua Tiandu?
He replied flatly: "I have sensed that about fifty kilometers off the South Sea, there was a battle."
"The death of Master Hua is very strange. As the top disciple of Yihua Palace, it’s naturally your responsibility to investigate Master Hua’s cause of death!"
One elder said gravely.
Yang Tian felt puzzled: It seems Chiyou didn’t expose Yang Tian’s killing of Hua Tiandu? He only mentioned that Hua Tiandu died? Then what was Chiyou’s motive for doing this?
But for the time being, Yang Tian didn’t dwell on it. He said, "Master Hua acknowledged my strength, I will certainly find out!"
"Very good!" Another elder nodded: "Yang Tian, although we are the elders of Yihua Palace, with the Master in trouble, Yihua Palace becomes leaderless. We four have decided to appoint you as the Palace Master, to lead us into prosperity!"
Yang Tian mouthed an "oh".
After thinking for a bit, he considered Yihua Palace indeed a force not to be underestimated. If absorbed, it would be beneficial for Yang Tian’s development.
He nodded: "Since the elders hold me in such high regard, I shall humbly accept!"
"Very good, come by Yihua Palace’s rear mountain at midnight tonight to receive the authority of the Palace Master!"
The four elders said, then left the hotel.
"Yang Tian..."
As soon as the four elders left, Hua Yueyue walked up: "Yang Tian, I’m so scared..."
Seeing Hua Yueyue looking pitiful, Yang Tian immediately took her into his arms: "Yueyue, you’re different from your father, I will protect you!"
"With my father’s death, Yihua Palace is leaderless, I’ve lost my support..."
Hua Yueyue buried herself in Yang Tian’s arms, speaking somewhat sadly.
Yang Tian hugged Hua Yueyue tightly and said: "I’m here for everything."
"I don’t want to go back tonight, can you let me stay with you?"
Hua Yueyue looked up and asked.
"Mm."
Yang Tian nodded and brought Hua Yueyue into the hotel room.
Hua Yueyue sat on the sofa, staring blankly out the window, lost in her thoughts—only her expression betrayed her sadness.
Yang Tian sighed inwardly.
Though Hua Tiandu was Hua Yueyue’s father, given how Hua Tiandu once treated the Drunkard, Yang Tian felt he must avenge the Drunkard.
Hua Tiandu brought this upon himself!
"I’m going to take a bath."
Yang Tian walked into the bathroom to freshen himself, at which point Hua Yueyue stood up and followed Yang Tian in. She undressed completely, hugging Yang Tian from behind: "Yang Tian, I’m scared..."
