Chapter 33
Guo Xinyis comment caused a couple of people in the hall to quietly snicker while the rest watched on with amusement.
Hmph! Huang Yi didnt retort.
He held his head high and his eyes remain sharp and arrogant. He may have lost to Xiao Yueyin once before, but he was confident he will stand above her one day.
The people in the hall nodded with some admiration. Huang Yi did not let his defeat hinder him but rather, became motivated by it instead.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Although he can be snobby and overbearing, he isnt a bad person at heart. He is merely proud, and he has the right to be so! Who in this hall wasnt? They are all geniuses of their respective Sects.
"Senior Lin, everyone has arrived. Earlier, you mentioned there was something you wished to tell us? Said a man in a red robe. He had an ordinary appearance and looked like he was in his thirties but he had a calm aura that would make anyone feel at peace. This man was Elder Chen of the Serene Yang Sect!
Seeing that everyone has directed their attention towards him, the burly man on the white marble throne nodded.
A couple of days ago, I felt a terrifying pressure on the rooftop of the East Solitude Inn. I've tried to investigate it but when I arrived, it had disappeared.
A questioning look appeared on everyones face.
Senior Lin, you couldnt find the source?
The burly man shook his head and said nothing more. The others didnt find his behavior unusual, they were aware that he was a man of few words.
They speculated for a while but since the information was too little, they didnt have much to go on.
Is it.. perhaps them? A man sitting in front of Guo Xinyi asked. He had a youthful face and wore a clean white robe.
All of you are fools, with how big the Mortal Desolate World is, can any of you really claim that your Sect has successfully hunted all of them down? Even your Sect Masters wouldnt dare say such a thing.
You! Huang Yi shouted.
The others also felt offended.
Just as an argument was about to erupt, Xiao Yueyin spoke up, Enough, the matter at East Solitude Inn is not related to them, there is no need to worry about it.
The hall settled down hearing Xiao Yueyin and even the man on the throne had a surprised expression, they glance at one another and the man from the Beast Call Sect asked, Miss Xiao, what do you know about the matter?
Guo Xinyi also looked at her friend, feeling confused. The matter at the inn seemed to happen before Xiao Yueyin arrived at Solitude City, how does she know the cause of it?
Xiao Yueyin shook her head, I cannot say.
The moment she heard Senior Lin mention the East Solitude Inn, she immediately guessed it was probably Xia Lihua who released the pressure. Although she wasnt sure what caused Xia Lihua to do this, she can only wait to ask her later. Though she may not get an answer.
Seeing that Xiao Yueyin did not wish to explain, the others can only hold in their curiosity. They gave Hei Ying an angry glance and then ignored her, proceeding to talk about other various matters.
During their conversation, they didn't even mention the All Desolate Competition. To them, the competition was not all that important. It was merely an event to attract talent and provide some competition for their disciples.
The ranking in the competition also wasnt much of a concern to them. In terms of strength, excluding the Arcane Mountain, there was little difference among the nine Sects, they all have won first place before. The public is also somewhat aware of this, which is why their decision to join a top sect is more based on preference.
The event that happened over three hundred years ago has caused tremendous damage to the ten sects foundation and to this day, theyre still trying to recover from it.
Incidentally, this allowed the Mortal Desolate World to have a long period of peace, with the top ten Sects quietly watching over their own region and not fighting each other.
