The Four Young Masters

Absolute Sword Mountain, Heavenly Dao Alliance --

Two days ago, after the mobilization meeting for the Black Stone Trial, all members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance were filled with anticipation for the trial.

This morning, in particular, several Reincarnator led the group to the treasure pavilion, where each had the right to choose a secret technique to enhance their strength. This greatly boosted the morale of the prodigies.

Among these leading Reincarnator was Young Master Feng Ming.

Normally, whenever Young Master Feng Ming appears, he exudes an aloof and superior aura, as if he were the center of the world. Even the Inspector of the Young Master Feng Ming Martial Arts Alliance has to show him deference.

This time, however, Young Master Feng Ming followed behind another person. This person was dressed in black, tall and robust, with bright, piercing eyes, like stars in the sky.

He stood there, emanating neither a sense of oppression nor an astonishing aura, yet strangely, he seemed to exist in another dimension, giving those who looked at him an unreal feeling, as if they were witnessing an ancient photograph.

This man in black is the strongest among the Reincarnator of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, known as Young Master Candle Dragon!

There are nine strongest Reincarnator individuals in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and among these nine, there are four even stronger young masters.

These four young masters are: Young Master Candle Dragon, Young Master Qiongqi, Young Master Feng Ming, and Fairy Snake Ji!

Zhulong, Qiongqi, Feng Ming, and Snake Ji —the four young masters are all named after mythical beasts. These titles are quite prestigious, and people are convinced that they are indeed outstanding individuals.

Young Master Feng Ming, who often appears in public, ranks third among the four. He has a more perfect appearance than a woman. He usually wears white clothes and carries a folding fan, appearing both male and female, and even giving people the feeling that he is a peerless woman dressed as a man.

The fourth is the Fairy Snake Ji, a true woman. She usually veils her face with a purple veil. She Yao Rao figure, full breasts, and a pert bottom. Her eyes are like autumn water, captivating anyone who looks at her.

The second-ranked of the Four Princes, Young Master Qiongqi, was completely different from the handsome Young Master Feng Ming and the Fairy Snake Ji. Young Master Qiongqi was thin, with dark skin and deep-set eyes that gave him a sinister look. His appearance was not ugly, but it was extremely strange, making people not want to look at him a second time.

As for the First Young Master of the four young masters, Young Master Candle Dragon, his whereabouts are mysterious. Among the many geniuses present, who have been in the Heavenly Dao Alliance for so long, this is the first time they have seen Young Master Candle Dragon.

"He is Young Master Candle Dragon..."

People looked at the man in black leading the group of Reincarnator with a sense of dread. Of the four young masters, they had only ever seen Young Master Feng Ming in action, and he was truly invincible among his peers, unstoppable in his power.

However, just by looking at the respectful attitude of Young Master Feng Ming towards Young Master Candle Dragon, one can guess that Young Master Feng Ming and Young Master Candle Dragon are definitely quite different.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful this Young Master Candle Dragon would be.

Just as everyone was preparing to choose cultivation techniques and treasures, the doors of the treasure pavilion suddenly opened, and Masked Man dressed in black Yi Yun, Yu Chi Wei, and six others into the treasure pavilion.

The Masked Man maintained his perpetually cold and empty expression, while behind him, Yi Yun, Yu Chi Wei, and the others were dressed in tattered clothes and looked somewhat disheveled.

Yu Chi Wei felt humiliated and resentful, the bald youth looked desperate and lost about the future, while the Chu Sisters were in tears, making them pitiful.

"Huh? These people, why are they back?"

The members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance looked at Yi Yun and the others with surprise in their hearts.

"Jiang Yi Dao and the other six, out of fear of death, deserted their posts when humanity was in peril. I originally intended to abandon these cowards, but then I received orders from the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters that deserters should not be tolerated!"

"Meanwhile, the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters has notified their respective Lineage that, under pressure from various quarters, these seven individuals have chosen to return and are now members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance."

The Masked Man spoke slowly, his voice still carrying an eerie aura.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance immediately understood.

It turns out that Yi Yun and the others were forced to sign the Soul Contract due to various pressures, and now they have also joined the Heavenly Blood Alliance.

Therefore, everyone's expression towards Yi Yun and his group immediately turned one of disdain and amusement.

"So it turns out they came back in disgrace due to pressure from all sides. How shameless!"

"They said so confidently before that they were going to leave the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but now they've joined the Heavenly Blood Alliance. How shameless!"

People made no attempt to hide their opinions.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chi Wei clenched his fists in anger, and the veins on his arms bulged out.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the Chu Sisters. These two young girls were exceptionally talented in their Lineage, having already reached the Yuanji Perfection stage at the young age of sixteen. They had never suffered such humiliation.

"That's not how it is, we..."

The two little girls' faces turned red with grievance, and they almost bit their lips, but they were unable to explain themselves.

First of all, they have already signed Soul Contract and cannot betray the Martial Arts Alliance. They dare not tell the truth, and even if they did, it would be useless.

All the information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance is just their speculation; they have no evidence to prove that the Heavenly Dao Alliance is an evil organization.

As for the Martial Arts Alliance notifying their respective Lineage, perhaps they did indeed do so, but they probably distorted the truth by the time they did so.

The six of them had no idea what the truth the Martial Arts Alliance was hiding. Under such circumstances, what could they possibly say?

"He clearly deserted before because of cowardice, and now he's back! He's shameless!" Gongsun Hong looked at Yi Yun, laughing unrestrainedly. He felt incredibly pleased. So what if Yi Yun was more capable than him? Wasn't he still being humiliated by him?

He only has himself to blame; he was cowardly and lacked any sense of martial arts awareness.

"I originally planned to cultivate diligently and surpass you one day, but I never expected you to be such a scoundrel who doesn't even have the courage to run away. It's a disgrace to have you as my target!"

Having been suppressed by Yi Yun for so long, Gongsun Hong now feels a sense of triumph.

Those close to Gongsun Hong, including members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, echoed his sentiments.

People thought Yi Yun and the others were too foolish; if they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?

Joining the Heavenly Blood Alliance earlier would have allowed them to enjoy more resources. Now that they've returned, they're not only making a fool of themselves, but they've also wasted a lot of time. It's laughably stupid.

"Your Inspector Lord, although Jiang Yi Dao and the other six have returned to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, we are ashamed to be associated with them!"

Gongsun Hong suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and volunteered.

As he spoke, he kept sneering at Yi Yun. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. A few months ago, when you were making fun of me, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?"

"Senior Brother Gongsun is right. We are ashamed to be associated with them. We request that during the Black Stone Trial, they be grouped into a separate team and not with us. That way, if they desert again, it won't affect us."

Another person stepped forward. Yi Yun recognized the voice and glanced at him. Upon seeing him, he smiled.

The second person to step forward was also an acquaintance of Yi Yun. Back in Tianwu City, Yi Yun smashed up a shop belonging to the Lihuo Sect, causing a conflict that led to him fighting a genius from the Heavenly Dao Alliance who called himself "Jian Wushuang".

The person who stood up to support Gongsun Hong at this moment was Jian Wushuang.

Originally, when Yi Yun came to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, "Jian Wushuang" avoided Yi Yun at all costs, afraid of running into Yi Yun. He couldn't afford to offend this ruthless star. As a result, Yi Yun almost forgot that "Jian Wushuang," whom he had beaten up before, was also in the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Only now, when Yi Yun is being ostracized, has he jumped out to kick him while he's down.

Seeing Yi Yun, "Jian Wushuang" was extremely displeased.

"You can still laugh at a time like this? You're as thick-skinned as a dead pig, you could use that skin to forge armor."

"Jian Wushuang" mocked, but no matter how much he mocked, Yi Yun just looked at him and smiled. This strange smile made "Jian Wushuang" feel a little uneasy for some reason.

At this moment, the Masked Man spoke up, saying, "Since you insist, then let the seven of them form a separate line!"

The words spoken by the Masked Man were naturally manipulated by Yi Yun. He was actually too lazy to be with these idiots. Of course, when they finally reached the center of the Soul Tomb, they would definitely run into each other again.

However, the orders announced by the Masked Man caused hardship for the other six people.

The Chu Sisters strained to keep their eyes open and prevent their tears from falling. Yu Chi Wei and the other hot-blooded young men, not yet twenty, gritted their teeth and endured the immense humiliation.

They were surprisingly excluded from this Black Stone Trial.

Although they were forced to sign the Soul Contract, they were still isolated and discriminated against compared to the older members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance.

(Some people questioned whether the Chu Sisters' cultivation level was too low and their strength too weak. As mentioned before, they were only sixteen or seventeen years old. When Yi Yun was fifteen or sixteen, he was only at the Origin Foundation Realm, which is not low.)
