A Banner's Shock!

"Master, what's wrong? Why the long face?"

When Lin Wanwan brought Qian Renxue to the Sect Hall, she saw her Master, the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Liu Yiyi, with a face full of bitterness.

Liu Yiyi glanced at her most beloved disciple and sighed softly.

"Little Wan, we just received news from the Star Extremity Sect, our superior Sect. They want the Hundred Flowers Palace to select 20 female cultivators with the best potential to go to the Star Extremity Sect. They say there's a once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity."

Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up at the words. She quickly raised her hand, "Master, let me go! This is a once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity, disciple wants to go."

Looking at her overly innocent disciple, Liu Yiyi felt a headache coming on.

Would the Star Extremity Sect kindly share an opportunity? That was practically like dreaming!

In this world, no one was so great, so great as to proactively offer an opportunity?!

Whenever there was such a good thing falling from the sky, there was definitely a huge pit involved. Nine times out of ten, they would use the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace as cannon fodder to fill the pit!

She guessed that some secret realm was about to appear, but the Star Extremity Sect felt it was too dangerous inside. That's why they wanted the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace to enter together, so that when danger appeared, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace would be sent to their deaths, allowing the disciples of the Star Extremity Sect to pass through safely.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Eight Regions.

Of course, it was indeed correct to call it an opportunity. After all, conversely, as long as one could fight their way out of the secret realm, the rewards would definitely be substantial.

It's just that this possibility was extremely slim.

Moreover, although the Star Extremity Sect was the superior Sect of the Hundred Flowers Palace, if the Hundred Flowers Palace found an opportunity, they would definitely pull the Star Extremity Sect down!

That's right, the Hundred Flowers Palace was also very covetous of the Star Extremity Sect's status. Any Sect within the Star Extremity Sect's system wanted to replace it.

After all, that represented immense resources!

"No, this matter is not suitable for you."

Liu Yiyi shook her head and decisively refused Lin Wanwan. Seeing her precious disciple unhappy, she explained.

"Wanwan, your Master would not harm you. Don't think this is a good thing? From what I know of the Star Extremity Sect, there are definitely problems here. So, I've discussed it with several elders and decided to send some outer disciples to fill the quota."

"It just so happens that you messaged me earlier saying you found a disciple with good potential. It's that girl at the door, right? I took a moment to look just now. Her potential is just so-so. Let her go along to make up the numbers."

Liu Yiyi's words were not concealed. In an instant, Qian Renxue's face turned extremely pale.

She thought she had found a backer who could protect her and allow her to spend the next year safely. She never expected it to be a fiery pit!

Qian Renxue didn't think Lin Wanwan had deceived her. In her opinion, Lin Wanwan was very pure, so pure that she couldn't keep secrets. Therefore, she definitely didn't know about this beforehand, and she had been genuinely kind from the start.

It was just that she didn't expect this so-called Star Extremity Sect to suddenly arrive, causing her to be used to fill the quota.

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong's face turned ashen.

She also didn't expect the outcome to be like this!

Just like Qian Renxue, she initially thought Qian Renxue's next year would be easy. But she never imagined things would take such a drastic turn!

"Damn Hundred Flowers Palace! One day, I will lead the Martial Soul Hall to destroy you!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's bold declaration, Qian Daoliu, standing beside her, twitched the corner of his mouth.

While he also felt heartbroken for Qian Renxue, he was even more speechless at Bibi Dong's grand pronouncements.

Under Bibi Dong's leadership, the Martial Soul Hall had indeed become several times stronger than during his son Qian Xunji's era. However, the Hundred Flowers Palace was clearly not just a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the Martial Soul Hall!

This was not something the Martial Soul Hall could even dare to compare with!

Of course, he could understand why Bibi Dong felt that way. After all, even though Bibi Dong constantly denied Qian Renxue, she was still a piece of her flesh and blood. How could she not feel heartbroken?

In the main hall of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Liu Yiyi gazed at Qian Renxue with cold eyes. Ignoring Lin Wanwan's desperate pleas beside her, she spoke to Qian Renxue indifferently.

"Qian Renxue, is it? I'm very sorry, but this happened so suddenly, and there's nothing we can do. The Star Extremity Sect's Magic Boat is already outside. You will now go to the Star Extremity Sect with the other chosen outstanding disciples."

"Of course, don't even think about escaping. I am at the Array Realm, and crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."

With that, Liu Yiyi gave a look to the disciples outside the door. Without a word, and giving Qian Renxue no chance to react, the two disciples immediately escorted her towards the Star Extremity Sect's Magic Boat.

"Xiao Xue, sob sob sob, I'm so sorry, I've harmed you, sob sob sob."

Listening to Lin Wanwan's heart-wrenching cries from behind, Qian Renxue's burning anger and resentment instantly vanished, replaced by endless sighs.

Wanwan, she didn't mean for this to happen either.

A moment later, when Qian Renxue saw the Star Extremity Sect's Magic Boat, she was stunned.

It was an extremely massive Magic Boat, at least ten thousand meters long at a rough estimate. The entire boat was resplendent, its surface covered in intricate, glowing inscriptions that exuded a faint pressure.

On the Magic Boat, a cultivator stood every ten meters. Each of these cultivators exerted a tremendous pressure on her, even greater than the pressure Lin Wanwan gave her!

Most striking was a flag planted above the Magic Boat.

This flag bore only a single, resplendent golden character: "Star." Yet, it radiated boundless Dao charm and immeasurable pressure that struck fear into everyone!

In the Douluo World, countless Soul Masters, especially the powerhouses, all stood up simultaneously, staring intently at Qian Renxue's light screen.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen stared fixedly at the golden, radiant "Star" flag. After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh.

"This aura is too powerful, it's like facing a heaven and earth crushing down!"

"Just one glance, and I feel like my soul is about to shatter. Yet, in that single glance, I can feel the Level 95 bottleneck that has been troubling me loosening. Not only the Level 95 bottleneck, but even Level 97, 98, and even 99 could be broken through smoothly and naturally!"

"What a pity..."

As a Level 95 Assault Type Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse on the Douluo Continent. Ordinary matters could no longer stir his heart. But at this moment, his inner heart was a tempest. However, the next moment, a bitter expression appeared on his face.

"Hehehehe, Level 96, 97, 98, 99, even Hundred Level Godhood, what does it matter? In the face of the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the power of Soul Masters is nothing but a joke. Even gods, what realm in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would they be equivalent to..."

"Is it the Blood Transporting Realm? Or the Hole Heaven Realm?"

"Hehehehe, it's really hard to guess..."
