Xin Yi did not, for a moment, believe that Tianfeng Jin wanted to marry him just because she wanted to give birth to a child and make their child the leader of the Gui Yuan Clan.

Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan had been married for so many years and had been trying for a child for very long, but they had not been successful. It was too difficult for high-level Martial Artists to bear a child. It would be much faster to just cultivate the next leader than to give birth to a child.

Furthermore, the Gui Yuan Clan belonged to all of its members. They could not give the position of the Clan Leader to whoever they wished. The reason that Tianfeng Jin wanted to marry him was clearly unreasonable and made no sense.

Tianfeng Jin was removing her makeup but she paused when Xin Yi asked her the question. Her cheeks flushed. With the candlelight softly illuminating her face, she stared at him silently before she said, her voice barely above a whisper, “I don’t wish to have any regrets.”

Her words were cryptic but Xin Yi understood what she meant and he rushed to hug her tightly. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “There won’t be any regrets, because we’ll all be fine.”

After the Clan Tournament, no one knew what their fates were going to be.

Getting into the top ten placings on the Clan Rankings was a shortcut that they were taking to finally meet Pan Luo in person. If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait thousands of years for their next chance. Though they could afford to wait, those in the Tianyuan Continent did not have the luxury of time as they could not ascend to become True Gods.

There were a limited number of people from the Gui Yuan Clan who could participate in the Clan Tournament, and these people had a clear idea of each other’s abilities. Those who knew that they were not as good did not bother to fight for a spot. Those that proved themselves to be worthy earned themselves a spot in the Clan Tournament.

Undoubtedly, Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi were the ones who were participating in the duels between upper-class True Gods.

For the middle-class True Gods, the contestants would be Nie Sang and two other members from the Spirit Tribe.

For the lower-class True Gods, they were Qin Xinran and similarly, two other members from the Spirit Tribe.

All six spots for the Martial Sage and Demigod duels were filled by youths from the Spirit Tribe. From this alone, one could tell just how gifted the members of the Spirit Tribe were when it came to cultivation, and why Pan Luo had been so paranoid of their existence for so many years.

After confirming the contestants for the Tournament, they sat on the flying spiritual treasure towards the Yinyang Store in the Juluan City. The next morning, they set out together with Zhuo Haotian who had been waiting for them impatiently.

The Realm of the Gods was enormous. The Tianyan Clan’s headquarters was situated at the nearby Tianyan City. From the name itself, one could tell that the entire city belonged to the Tianyan Clan. According to the information that was given to them by Zhuo Rong, Gu Lingzhi could finally understand why they were so rich and powerful.

In every Clan Tournament, the Tianyan Clan was always ranked first. Because of this, they always had the privilege of selecting the most amount of resources from Secret Territories and also the privilege of being the first to recruit talented disciples. It was no wonder they controlled an entire city.

“Hopefully, we don’t go head-to-head with the Tianyan Clan before the finals,” Qin Xinran muttered.

“I doubt that will happen, there are so many clans participating in the tournament. We’d have to be really unlucky to have them as our opponents,” Gu Lingzhi tried to reassure her.

Qin Xinran nodded her head. “You’re right, and even if we compete with them, we won’t know who will emerge victorious yet.”

While they were flying over their city, Qin Xinran looked down at the view below her. She suddenly pointed to something in the distance and exclaimed, “I think there’s people fighting over there.”

The rest of them looked in the direction that she pointed. As expected, they saw a small group of people fighting and they were currently flying towards that direction.

“Let’s change our direction and get to our destination from another side,” Gu Lingzhi ordered. Nie Sang, who was in-charge of controlling the flying spiritual artefact complied with her orders, intending to circle around the group of people who were fighting.

Yet, all the more when they wanted to avoid trouble, trouble would come knocking on their door instead.

When the group of people saw them on the flying spiritual artefacts, they began to feel slightly afraid. Just as Nie Sang was about to steer the flying spiritual artefact in another direction, he heard one of them yell, “Leave, all of you! We found these two Ascension Members first! Leave!”

Ascension Members? Gu Lingzhi and the rest were stunned for a moment. Nie Sang instantly headed straight in the direction where the group of people were.

“We’ve almost missed this chance,” Qin Xinran said as she raised her fist and pointed at the group of people once again, “Let’s go! We’re taking down these bastards.”

They were not going to let this group of people go!

Even without Qin Xinran’s instructions, Nie Sang had already increased the speed of his flying spiritual artefact.

“Damn, we told them to leave but they are rushing towards us. Boss, what should we do now?” the man who shouted earlier, Huang Jun, turned towards another tall man and asked.

The tall man gritted his teeth as he saw the flying spiritual artefacts charging towards them. “Kill the Ascension Members!”

As long as they killed the two Ascension Members, then the group flying towards them would leave automatically. Even though their rewards would drastically decrease if they returned with dead Ascension Members rather than alive ones, it was much better than having to deal with enemies now.

“I encourage you to think twice if you think you’ll be able to kill us off so quickly,” Mei Ying spat whilst Su Ruo stood behind him, heavily injured.She looked dejected.

Were they really going to die right here?

Even before they found the rest, they were going to be treated like dirty rats to be traded around without their names even being known.

“Old man, run!” Su Ruo weakly pushed Mei Ying. It was all her fault for being too weak which caused Mei Ying to be dragged into such a situation with her. If she had not accidentally leaked the information about where they came from, they would not have ended in such a predicament.

Mei Ying gritted his teeth. “What are you talking about? Am I the kind of man who would leave his wife behind and run away? I’m not afraid of death.”

“Wow, what a loving couple,” Huang Jun mocked. “If you had surrendered to us earlier, we would have given you a few days together before we traded you in for some money. Now, you can only blame those people who are flying towards us. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t kill you either.”

Huang Jun then gave a look at the people who surrounded Mei Ying and Su Ruo, who then all brandished their weapons. They were not going to play cat-and-mice with the couple anymore, it was time to execute them and get their bounty.

“Damn it, they’re going to kill them,” Qin Xinran cursed under her breath, the Godly Spiritual Weapon in her hand emitting low buzzing sounds due to her built-up anger.

Nie Sang pushed the flying spiritual artefact even further to its highest speed possible.

Whoosh! The wind made a sound as the flying spiritual artefact sped across.

As the group of people got closer to them, Gu Lingzhi and the rest could tell who they were surrounding. The pitiful state of Mei Ying and Su Ruo made them boil with anger.

“Knock them down!” Rong Yuan roared, “Nie Sang, continue charging towards them, let’s go take our revenge!”

“I’m on it!” Qian Songyuan replied. Ever since he was chosen to be one of the candidates to participate in the middle-class True Gods duel, he had been itching to show what he was capable of.

“We’re here, let’s go!” Rong Yuan ordered. Everyone except Nie Sang jumped off the flying spiritual artefact and rushed towards their targets.

Nie Sang knocked fiercely into Huang Jun by controlling the flying spiritual artefact.

“Bastards! How dare you! Ah!” Huang Jun screamed out of fear before he was brutally hit by the flying spiritual artefact, blood spewing out of his body.

Nie Sang continued knocking into him multiple times, not willing to stop until Huang Jun had become just a pile of flesh.

Xu Lie and the rest of his team did not think that Gu Lingzhi and her friends would be so brutal, leaving them with no chance to retaliate the moment they attacked. His face was so shocked that it twisted into an ugly expression, before he angrily roared at Rong Yuan who was charging towards him. “All of you are going to die!”

“I should be saying that to you.” Rong Yuan’s face darkened as he unsheathed his Dragon Sword. He flew towards Xu Lie in a threatening stance and aimed at his head.

“Y-you are an upper...upper-class True God?” Xu Lie stammered, taken aback by Rong Yuan’s spiritual power. A few seconds later, he was reduced to ashes.

After killing the leader of this group of people, Rong Yuan turned towards Mei Ying and Su Ruo and smiled, “Sorry for coming late, Elder Mei.”

“Er... er... Su Ruo, am I seeing things? Why do I see that rascal, Rong Yuan and that lass, Gu Lingzhi?” Mei Ying stuttered, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Su Ruo wiped her tears away and pushed him lightly, almost at a loss for words. “No, you’re not. It’s really them,” she said, as she turned to look at Rong Yuan, “Look at the both of us, we’re getting old and weak. They’re always saving us from danger.”

“This means that we’re fated to meet,” Gu Lingzhi chuckled when she defeated her opponent. “Elder Su, don’t you miss us?”

“Yes! Of course, we do!” Mei Ying exclaimed. When he finally recovered from his trance, Mei Ying was so agitated that he immediately hugged Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi.

“Where did the both of you go? It’s been years since we’ve heard anything about the both of you. We almost thought that you were dead.”

Gu Lingzhi merely smiled in response, “It’s a long story. Let’s chat on the way.”

Xu Lie and his team were considered powerful in this small area, it was not even comparable to Gu Lingzhi and her friends who were considered talented in the entire world. It did not take much for Gu Lingzhi and her friends to defeat them at all.

At this time, Nie Sang flew the flying spiritual artefact towards them and all of them boarded it and they took off in the direction of Tianyan City.

On the way, Gu Lingzhi explained to Mei Ying and Su Ruo about what had happened to them over the past few years in the Realm of the Gods. Mei Ying also told them about their experiences.

When him and Su Ruo first ascended to the Realm of the Gods, they did not end up at the same place. It was not long ago when they were met with a few accidents and managed to reconcile under extraordinary circumstances. They were so excited that they accidentally leaked some of their information which was overheard by Xu Lie and his team who then chased after them.

“Elder Mei, have you never thought of going to the Feixing Pavilion to put out a notice that you were looking for someone?” Gu Lingzhi asked.

In the Realm of the Gods, it was not difficult to find someone if you tried hard enough.

“I-I did not know that the Feixing Pavilion could do such a thing for me,” Mei Ying replied, slightly flustered and embarrassed.
