Minghe's absence as the arbitrator did not affect his "job responsibilities".

Zheng Yunyi's battle was clearly going to drag on for a long time, and Minghe's departure was only a short while ago.

When I returned, the seating arrangement had changed.

Originally, she should have sat in the middle, with representatives from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Great Joy Temple on either side. However, Ju Yunxiu had been giving Qin Yi some "instructions" outside the venue, so Minghe's left was occupied by Guan Hai, while her right was empty. Upon turning around, she saw that Ju Yunxiu had already taken her seat, and she sat down next to Ju Yunxiu as soon as she returned.

Both sides saw it; in just a short while, she changed her Daoist Scarf, transforming it from an ordinary Daoist Scarf into a Law Treasure.

Even with all her imagination, Guan Hai couldn't believe that Qin Yi had personally changed her into this Daoist Scarf, but it was true that she went to see Qin Yi... She really is a biased arbitrator.

Ju Yunxiu immediately realized where the Daoist Scarf came from. "Are you here to arbitrate or to flirt with men?"

So, both Zuo Guan Hai and Ju Yunxiu glanced sideways at Minghe, their eyes showing a clear consensus: both had strong opinions about the arbitration.

Minghe remained expressionless.

Their reputation has been severely damaged, a truly appalling situation.

But the chaotic feeling before the meeting has now become very calm. What does it matter what other people think?

Qin Yi always knew his place; wearing Daoist Scarf was simply wearing Daoist Scarf, without overstepping any boundaries, thus remaining within the bounds of propriety. Daoist Scarf was properly worn, he withdrew all his excitement and longing, truly feeling as if he were "reuniting with an old friend." After a long separation, seeing that everyone was doing well was quite comforting.

Then this trip will not have been in vain.

As for his initial "delusion"... let's just consider it as mere idle talk.

Perhaps his delusions hadn't completely disappeared, but he had matured considerably and knew that forcibly involving her would hinder her cultivation, so he stopped bringing it up and didn't press her further. As for the future... the chances of him truly reaching the point where he could be bathed in starlight were negligible. Perhaps with the passage of time, he would naturally stop thinking about such things.

Like the Minghe, the ripples of the past will eventually subside, and the fleeting stirrings of the heart by the pool will ultimately become a test of the heart in the mortal world after a thousand years of reflection. When he looks back on those days, he will probably chuckle at the ridiculous declarations of his youth.

That concludes the matter; we were just old friends.

However... he's improved really fast.

They had already forged their bones... They were now in the same realm. As if in a dream, they suddenly looked back and saw a young man in a green robe striding up quickly, shouting, "One day, I will knock on the gates of the gods and embrace the Milky Way."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a violent energy surge erupted in the arena, and Guan Hai abruptly stood up.

Minghe's mind was finally pulled back to reality, and she frowned as she looked at the bloody scene on the field.

Both sides suffer losses.

She was lost in thought, unaware of what had happened with that final blow. All she could see were both of them lying on the ground, covered in blood. The monk was still slightly moving, while Zheng Yunyi lay there stiffly, as if dead.

Guan Hai roared, "He's not dead! Stand up and kill him!"

The monk twitched a couple of times but couldn't get up.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace began to clamor. "They're already on their last breath, what more do they want?"

"Just say you want to kill someone!"

"Exactly, that sore loser monk, yet he calls himself a first-rate Demon Sect! Bah!"

Guan Hai wasn't the only one from Great Joy Temple. Fearing being tricked and killed by the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, he also brought another powerful cultivator of the Guan Generation, along with over a hundred monks to watch the battle, including more than ten at the Soaring Cloud Realm. The atmosphere in the arena was about to explode. Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace disciples rushed down to try and rescue Guan Hai, and the monks from Great Joy Temple also surged forward, bringing the two sides to the brink of conflict.

Minghe sighed, and the pagoda she had just received from Qin Yi descended from the sky, stabilizing the area. A gentle Buddhist Light emanated from it, separating the disciples of the two sides about to clash. "Let's end it here."

Guan Hai.

Minghe calmly said, "Zheng Yunyi forced his way to a breakthrough first, and then committed mutual destruction. It will be difficult for him to grow any further after that. In terms of life, his cultivation life is also nearing its end. Your temple has given us the explanation we wanted. Isn't it better for both sides to stop fighting? If we meet again in the martial world and become enemies, Celestial Pivot Divine Palace will not stop us."

Guan Hai angrily retorted, "He's Scheming Sect; he'll be fine!"

Minghe said calmly, "As the arbitrator, it is my duty to quell this chaos. Does Master Guan Hai perhaps wish for a major conflict to erupt?"

Guan Hai was both angry and resentful, but he couldn't refute it. He also knew that the conflict was not going well at this time. Even if the arbitrators didn't speak, there were still many onlookers, including some powerful ones. In this conflict, which was seen as a sign of "not being able to lose," Great Joy Temple would most likely suffer a loss.

Guan Hai took a deep breath and said indignantly, "Very well, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace are indeed skilled. We'll meet again someday!"

As he spoke, he reached out and beckoned the bloodied and mangled monk, then turned and flew away.

The remaining disciples of Great Joy Temple also retreated, instantly leaving the area above the Cloud Platform, seemingly bringing the matter to an end.

Everyone knows this isn't over.

This outcome is unbearable for Great Joy Temple. One was instantly defeated, and the other died together. What they thought was a crushing "explanation" of the low-level was not satisfied at all. Instead, they were humiliated in front of tens of thousands of onlookers. How could Great Joy Temple bear this?

In fact, Minghe also had a devilish thought in her heart: it would be better if Zheng Yunyi were dead, then Great Joy Temple could barely accept this result and would not continue to spread hatred to Qin Yi. Wouldn't that be better?

She didn't know how Zheng Yunyi did it; she had been distracted and hadn't seen clearly. She turned to look at Ju Yunxiu was frowning, deep in thought.

Just then, a huge Bagua (Eight Trigrams) suddenly appeared on the way up from Great Joy Temple, which had already evacuated from Cloud Platform.

All the disciples of Great Joy Temple who entered the Bagua illusion instantly lost their way and ran around the Bagua plate like headless flies. Even Guan Hai and another Huiyang expert lost their bearings for a moment and stopped in their tracks.

A furious roar came from the Guan Hai: "Heavenly Mystery Child, do you really intend to fight to the death with my Great Joy Temple?"

But then they saw that Heavenly Mystery Child had appeared above them at some point, silently conjuring a Taiji diagram. Black and white divine light intertwined and enveloped the Eight Trigrams Array.

Almost simultaneously, different lights shone from among the tens of thousands of onlookers.

There was extremely sharp sword light, as well as the light of various Law Treasure, and terrifying blood waves that corroded bones. They were originally hidden under some kind of cover, but now they suddenly erupted, all of them radiant!

Minghe recognized him quickly.

The demonic Blood Refinement Sect, the Righteous Path Supreme Oneness Dao Palace, and the famous Rogue Cultivator... without exception, all of them were relatives or friends who had Yin-Yang Harvesting or killed by the Great Joy Temple, and they had deep-seated hatred for each other.

Heavenly Mystery Child's voice echoed through the Cloud Platform: "The Celestial Pivot Divine Palace's arbitration is merely bringing the rules back to normal, preventing the Great Joy Temple from using its high-level cultivators against our disciples. However, the Great Joy Temple won't follow the rules. Once they break them, the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace won't help us fight a massacre. Ultimately, we must rely on ourselves to completely eliminate this future threat. What are you waiting for? To wait for the Great Joy Temple to secretly slaughter your disciples in the future?"

A gigantic Wine Gourd appeared in the sky, countless mechanical wooden birds roared out, heavy cannons roared, and terrifying energy exploded within the Eight Trigrams Array.

Ju Yunxiu shook her head slightly. Heavenly Mystery Child had kidnapped the entire sect. If they didn't make a move to wipe them out now, did they expect Great Joy Temple to let them off the hook? She didn't say anything and just raised her slender hand.

Universe Mountains and Rivers unfolds, with dazzling sunlight and moonlight piercing the sky.

Qin Yi looked up into the distance, utterly speechless.

The Battle of Huiyang...

Our team has four Huiyangs, plus four or five more foreign reinforcements. The opposing team only has two Huiyangs, and they're trapped in the formation; they're practically doomed.

Even if the Great Joy Temple is strong, it's still just like them, with four Huiyang and one Qianyuan. With two Huiyang dead this time, the Great Joy Temple is truly doomed.

Surely their powerful cultivators wouldn't have been completely unaware of this, watching helplessly as their core members were ambushed and wiped out?

Just as I was thinking this, Buddhist Light suddenly appeared in the distance, covering the entire area of Cloud Platform. The light was only a small point in the distance, but as it got closer, it became clear that it covered a hundred miles, blotting out the sky and the sun, and there was no way to hide from it.

Qian Yuan makes his move!

If it weren't for Qian Yuan's intervention, all ten thousand people on this land would have perished, along with the entire Immortal Palace!

A crane's cry came from the direction of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. A phantom crane spread its wings like Kunpeng, soaring through the nine heavens, and rushed straight towards the Buddhist Light, colliding with it and extinguishing it.

The Palace Master made a move.

This Heavenly Mystery Child has forced out a real life-or-death battle!
