"Oh, you're done over there?"
Zhang Zhiyun of the White Tiger Gate changed his clothes and had just come out of the Northern Tiger Gate when he saw a familiar face—a woman dressed in Ziyi with a rather sharp demeanor.
Few women wear purple clothes because most can't carry off the aura of that color, but this woman is different. Standing there, she gives the impression that she was born to wear Ziyi, and even her name has Ziyi in it, as if it were her destiny.
It is none other than one of the twin stars of Heavenly Capital: Murong Ziyi!
"You're a bit slower than I expected." Murong Ziyi's voice was cold, just like her appearance—she possessed the aura of an ice queen.
"I've met a very interesting character," Zhang Zhiyun said with a smile.
"That Chen Ying?"
"I thought you didn't like paying attention to these things, I didn't expect you to have paid attention to this person?"
"It's not really something I'm paying attention to," Murong Ziyi said casually. " Jiangnan's reputation has grown too much in recent years, so I'm curious to know just how capable Dean Chen Ying of Jiangnan really is."
"A very impressive level."
"Oh?" The woman raised an eyebrow, a rare change in expression appearing on her usually icy face. "It's rare to see you praise someone like this. You're quite impressive?"
"He is indeed strong, but his methods are quite different." Zhang Zhiyun recalled the scene from earlier, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
This was the first time he had met such an interesting woman, and the first time he had witnessed such an interesting battle. He had never thought of this method in all these years. In fact, he had been wondering for the past few years why Jiangnan was promoting the speed formation method. In his opinion, although Void Formation Drawing was very special, it was easy to make mistakes in complex battles, and its practicality was not as high as imagined. There was a young man in the capital who amazed everyone with his skills, mainly because those sorcerers were encountering it for the first time and did not understand the routine.
Especially when facing martial artists, no matter how fast this kind of Void Formation Drawing is, it can't outrun a martial artist's speed. So I used the Flying Jiangshi Technique to see how the dean of the Jiangnan Academy would handle his weakest opponent.
Or perhaps she could simply forgo the magic array and instead use her legendary Azure Dragon Spell?
To everyone's surprise, the opponent won the battle by using numerical calculations.
That's really interesting.
Yeah?
Murong Ziyi looked at the smile on Zhang Zhiyun's lips, her eyes growing even colder. "Then I'd like to see for myself."
"Speaking of experience," Zhang Zhiyun suddenly remembered something. "I heard when I came out that the Vermilion Bird Gate has just begun. Should we go and take a look? After all, that woman's legendary achievements are quite extraordinary."
"That woman?" Murong Ziyi also became interested. She had heard of that person a long time ago. She was someone that the Celestial Master Mansion had been unable to capture for ten thousand years, and she had become the first court sorcerer of the new dynasty.
Now that she has received an ancient inheritance, she is eager to know what kind of methods this senior possesses.
"Aren't you going to check on the Azure Dragon Gate?" Murong Ziyi looked at the other person. "Aren't you concerned about your younger brother?"
"Concerned about him?" Mentioning his younger brother, Zhang Zhiyun's expression turned quite grim for the first time. He muttered, "Who cares about me? Besides, does someone like that even have a rival?"

"How boring!"
Azure Dragon Gate, the pungent stench of blood and the horrific scene caused the onlookers outside the palace gates to flee in panic. What kind of trial was that? It was clearly a massacre. Who would have thought that the usually gentle, Xiaopang could be so terrifying when he took action?
It's simply... it's like a demon.
At that moment, amidst the blood and flesh, Zhang Xiaoyun casually crushed a head with one foot. Strangely, although the eyes were pitch black and the voice sounded like another person, the tone and expression were very similar to Zhang Xiaoyun himself. When he smiled, he was harmless and endearing.
"Yeah, how many of these cheap fish that come here to pick up bargains are actually worth looking at? Forget it. Let's go check out the other gates."
"Oh, Big Brother and Sister Ziyi are done? Yeah, those two usually don't hold back. Sigh, that's boring. Is the so-called Celestial Master Trial just about playing around with two people you know well at the end? What's the point?"
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyun walked to the door. By this time, the ordinary people Azure Dragon Gate had long since left, leaving only the elders of the powerful families.
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaoyun looked up at the pairs of gloomy eyes outside the palace gate and immediately smiled, "What do you want?"
The Xiaopang still smiled innocently, just like before, but no one dared to say a word!
Everyone here is looking for trouble, some even wanting to protest at the Celestial Master Mansion. Their own outstanding disciples came to support this so-called Celestial Master election, and this is how it ends.
But no one dared to cause trouble for the person in front of them. The elders knew very well what abilities the disciples who went in were capable of. If the disciples were slaughtered, the elders would suffer a similar fate.
Someone who can slaughter them at any time really doesn't have the confidence to question the other party.
"It was just a trial. Your methods are so cruel, but that's the Celestial Master Mansion's Mansion's doing!"
Among the crowd, one person dared to speak up; it was none other than the Grand Elder of the Su family of the South China Sea.
His voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear, but even more so with resentment!
The Su Family has recently gained fame in the South Sea, not because of the Su Family profound heritage. On the contrary, among the ancient families, the Su Family is at most of the middle to lower level. However, the Dragon Transformation in the South Sea has changed the Su Family's status.
All three children were chosen by the Dragon King and bestowed with the bloodline of a true dragon. No other family in the entire South Sea could achieve such a feat, which has led to the elders of the Su Family enjoying great success in recent years.
Who could have imagined that in this trial, which lasted less than a quarter of an hour, the Su Family would lose two of their future pillars of strength? How could they possibly accept this?
After all, a dead genius is nothing.
" The Celestial Master Mansion?" Zhang Xiaoyun laughed immediately. "Those useless people who participated in the trials? Do you think they're qualified to attract the attention of the Celestial Master Mansion?"
The elders of the Su Family were all shocked and furious.
Faced with such a formidable figure, not a single one dared to make a move.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?" Zhang Xiaoyun wiped the blood and flesh from her hands. "I still have to rush to the Vermilion Bird Gate to watch the show."
He paid no attention to these so-called aristocratic elders or people from the Celestial Master Mansion. No one cared about those so-called thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old families because they had all witnessed what a true sorcerer was and what true power was.
He didn't even consider the now-famous Jiangnan appealing to him.
His only interest lay in the woman whom the Celestial Master Mansion had been unable to capture for millennia.
The Vermilion Bird Gate's trials started last, not only because it was the last gate ranked, but also because it had the most applicants.
The final number of spots, including those added later, reached an astonishing three hundred!
As Shen Qi said, many people dare not go to the gate guarded by the two direct disciples of the Celestial Master Mansion, and many people disdain to go to Zhang Xiaoyun's gate. The Vermilion Bird Gate can be said to be the most suitable place to sign up.
Chen Ying arrived early from the White Tiger Gate; no one was more interested in Ziyue than she was.
That woman, originally an enemy, eventually became the most powerful woman in Jiangnan, second only to Chen Qing.
It is said that she had only been familiar with the Dragon Palace Inheritance for a year, yet Chen Qing entrusted the Dragon Palace Academy to her instead of himself.
Although she always obeyed Chen Qing's decisions, there was always a hint of resentment in her heart.
I always want to see what the other party has to offer.
Unexpectedly, she encountered someone on the road who made her feel uneasy.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Chen Ying?" Zhang Xiaoyun greeted from a distance.
Faced with this person, Chen Ying's usually calm expression immediately furrowed.
I've been delayed these past few days, so I've been posting quite late. I just said I'd start posting at midnight the day before yesterday, but I've already contradicted myself. cough
I'll definitely be up at 3 AM tomorrow, and I'll try my best to keep it up afterwards, hehe.
Please forgive me, everyone. I'm quite busy at the end of the year, the kind of sudden busyness that comes without any warning.
