Chapter 2436 - 2436 Someone Familiar

2436 Someone Familiar

However, Chu Liuyue suddenly kept quiet, raised her brows, and asked, “Hongyu, why are you so nervous?”

“H-how am I nervous?” Mu Hongyu instantly rebutted.

When she met Chu Liuyue’s clear gaze that seemed as if it saw through everything, she felt guilty and averted her gaze. “I-I just feel that we’re all friends, s-so I asked…”

She clearly saw how Fang Xuning died miserably, so she couldn’t help but think of Jian Fengchi.

Xiao Ba basically had a stable win, but Jian Fengchi… If there was any mishap, he might really lose his life here.

Even though she normally fought and quarreled with Jian Fengchi, she did not hope for anything bad to happen to him.

Chu Liuyue didn’t expose her as she smiled and said, “I said… Eldest Young Master Jian is about to produce his pill.”

Mu Hongyu was dazed. “What?!”

Chu Liuyue raised her chin.

Mu Hongyu instinctively looked up and saw the fire in the cauldron before Jian Fengchi burning intensely!

“Condense!”

With that scream, the herbs in the cauldron started gathering toward the middle at a rapid speed! Very quickly, a fist-sized pill appeared in that fire!

Mu Hongyu widened her eyes slightly. “L-Liuyue, then previously—”

Why did she sound so worried?!

Chu Liuyue coughed and seriously said, “I just feel that Eldest Young Master Jian is lagging behind. It’s a pity that he’s third.”

Mu Hongyu was at a loss for words.

Of the first two people, one was Eighth Deity Shu Jing, and the other was Xiao Ba. It was already very good that he could beat the other Supreme Physicians and come in third!

Seeing the smile that was slowly forming on Chu Liuyue’s lips, she suddenly recovered her senses. “Liuyue! Y-you did it on purpose?!”

Chu Liuyue lowered her volume. “Shh. If Eldest Young Master Jian knows that you’re so worried about him, he’ll be too full of himself.”

Mu Hongyu’s face instantly turned red.

She bit on her lips and wanted to defend herself, but thinking of her previous actions, she couldn’t say much. She puffed up her cheeks and did not speak.

After all… she was quite worried that Jian Fengchi would fail.

Chu Liuyue silently recorded a note for Eldest Young Master Jian. This kid owes me quite a few favors now.

…

When Jian Fengchi started to form his pill, it attracted quite a few people’s attention. After all, compared to Xiao Ba, his reputation in the Fantasy Divine Palace wasn’t as good. Now, he almost followed closely behind Xiao Ba to form his pill.

Many people instantly changed their impression of him.

“That person… Jian Fengchi? He’s also so capable?”

“I recall that he is also with Shangguan Yue and the rest. I know that he seems to have just broken through to become a Supreme Physician. I didn’t expect him to actually—”

“Hiss… What’s with that Shangguan Yue?! It’s fine if she’s a maniac, but why are the people around her all so shocking? She’s not letting people live!”

If there were only one or two, they might not be able to attribute it to Chu Liuyue. But now…

All the outstanding talents in Fantasy Divine Palace mostly had very intimate relations to her. How could one not think further?

Some people’s gazes landed on Chu Liuyue again. They were filled with doubt and scrutiny.

Chu Liuyue turned a blind eye to them.

Jian Fengchi was ‘trained’ by her for many years. It was not surprising for him to have such skills.

…

Time slowly trickled past.

The competition proceeded on in all four arenas. More and more people failed.

Without a doubt, the moment those people failed, they were directly killed!

The bloody aura in the air became stronger.

The spectating crowd slowly fell silent.

The atmosphere was stiff and cold.

This included the heavenly doctor arena that Chu Liuyue was most concerned about. Four Supreme Physicians had already met their demise, one after another.

Chu Liuyue furrowed her brows slightly. “This life-and-death challenge… is indeed hard to pass.”

Or perhaps it was basically cruel and cold-blooded!

Hearing her voice, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly. “There’s no choice. Everyone wants to become a deity to be the strongest existence, but how is that easy? The moment they made their choice, everything was destined.”

“Legendary warriors, Supreme Physicians, Grandmaster Xuan Masters, and supreme Armory Refinement Masters… It was really not easy for them to grow. Loss or victory in this competition determines their life or death… It’s rather pitiful.” Chu Liuyue. sighed

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran shook his head. “That’s right, but there are millions and billions of cultivators in the world. Everyone wants to be at the top. Those who can’t compete are naturally eliminated. This is also the rule of Fantasy Divine Palace.”

It wasn’t easy for one to cultivate to become a strong person.

“Which one of those that broke through and became a top warrior did not suffer? Not to mention others, these deities… Back then, they also survived intense battles to come here.”

When Chu Liuyue heard this, her heart tingled as she turned to the nearby deities.

She had to admit that Xiao Ran did make sense.

The deities were high and mighty, but this identity was symbolic of their skills.

She raised her gaze slightly and looked at the person above the nine flights of stairs. After a moment, she retracted her gaze.

…

After a while, the pill in Xiao Ba’s cauldron finally formed a dragon eye-sized pill.

The patterns on it shone brightly!

Invisible energy ripples started spreading in all directions!

Buzz—

This force hit the cauldron and instantly let out a distant cry!

Xiao Ba’s eyes lit up. It’s succeeding!

She meticulously controlled the fire in the cauldron and refined it for the last time.

At the same time, Shu Jing knitted her brows slightly. My pill still needs 15 minutes to be completely produced. However, Xiao Ba is already concluding hers! Besides, from the current situation, Xiao Ba’s pill is most likely about to succeed.

Thinking of this, Shu Jing’s heart seemed to be on fire!

Many thoughts flashed across her mind. What should I do to beautifully win this round and get rid of Xiao Ba?

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the Fantasy Divine Hall.

Hearing the noise, Chu Liuyue also glanced over.

Two familiar faces appeared before her eyes!
