Ye Qiu was still waiting. Who else would volunteer to fight?

After a long time, another young man in white walked out of the crowd. He said lightly, “Senior, count me in.”

The moment this person appeared, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Zhe… Xian?”

Everyone present looked very surprised at the appearance of this person.

Xiao Hanyi also looked over. Clearly, he knew the other party.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to join in the fun.”

Xiao Hanyi smiled, indicating that he was surprised. He was very familiar with the personality of Zhe Xian. That was because they were opponents. As the saying went, the person who knew you the best was your opponent. The two of them had fought on the Immortal Ancient Battlefield for countless years and had yet to determine a victor.

Xiao Hanyi recognized the strength of Zhe Xian, but he could not figure it out. This man, who had always done whatever he wanted, had a cold personality and seemed to be uninterested in everything in the world, actually chose to fight? He was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people’s business.

Facing Xiao Hanyi’s question, Zhe Xian glanced at him indifferently and said casually, “This is not something you should be concerned about. I have my reasons for what I want to do. If you have the time, you should think about how to survive later.”

It was a very cold and indifferent tone. Ye Qiu was a little impressed by his handsomeness.

F*ck, this person has some of my elegance from back then. Not only was he handsome, but he was also dressed in white. He had an extraordinary aura and was filled with an immortal aura. This was the persona of a protagonist.

“Zhe Xian? No wonder he’s called Zhe Xian. He does have some demeanor.” [Zhe Xian is Chinese meaning Exiled Immortal.]

Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Alright, you’re one of them. There are still eight spots. Who else wants to participate?”

He looked at the others. The crowd was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a monkey walked over with a face full of guilt.

Yes, at this moment, Monkey was blaming himself, especially when he saw the corpses all over the ground. He was very ashamed because he was the one who accidentally broke the taboo and allowed these Nether Clan beings to escape.

He wanted to salvage the situation, so he slowly walked out after Ye Qiu shouted.

Looking at Ye Qiu in front of him, Monkey felt a particularly familiar feeling in his heart, especially the aura on his body. It gave him a very special feeling. He had only felt this feeling from his master.

However, he carefully sized up Ye Qiu and confirmed that this person was not his master. His master was a white-haired, sage-like old man. He was not a young and handsome person.

Feeling ashamed, Monkey cupped his hands and said, “Senior, let me do it. This disaster started because of me. I should be the one to end it.”

Ye Qiu looked at him with satisfaction. This monkey has the courage to act and take responsibility.

He had deliberately spoken loudly just now to remind Monkey. That was because Monkey was the only one in the new generation who had reached the Martial Monarch Realm. With him around, their chances of winning might be higher.

“Good! I’m very relieved that you have such a responsibility. I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself.”

Including Monkey, there were already three people. There were seven spots left.

Ye Qiu was still considering who he should choose for the next seven spots.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a loud bang.

“Hmm?”

Ye Qiu’s heart trembled. He quickly looked in the direction of the sound. It was coming from his precious disciple.

With a whoosh, Ye Qiu disappeared from his spot and arrived beside Lin Qingzhu. At this moment, she had yet to wake up. The immortal pill that the monkey had given her was too powerful, and she was still in a deep sleep.

The loud noise just now was caused by her breakthrough.

Ye Qiu gently grabbed her hand and injected a stream of power into her body to check.

“Martial Monarch!”

Ye Qiu was shocked and at a loss.

“What’s going on?”

Ye Qiu turned around and questioned Zhao Wan’er. He remembered that before he left, Lin Qingzhu was still at the Paragon Realm. How did she become a Martial Monarch Realm expert in the blink of an eye?

It was indeed a good thing that he had broken through so quickly. However, there would also be problems if her foundation was unstable.

As expected, Lin Qingzhu was currently being tortured by the Mental Demon. Her face was extremely pale, and she had a pained expression.

Zhao Wan’er was also shocked by Ye Qiu’s roar. She had never seen her master so angry before. She hurriedly explained, “Master, Senior Sister fought with Gongsun Baiyu from the Immortal Mountain previously. She was affected by the other party’s Sword of Emotion and had an epiphany. She successfully broke through to the King Realm.

“After that, there was a chaotic battle. Those Nether Clan beings ran out. Senior Sister’s foundation was injured by that demon in order to save Monkey.

“The monkey gave Senior Sister an immortal pill to repay her. Senior Sister became like this after she ate it.”

Zhao Wan’er panicked. She did not know what she had done wrong. She only wanted to save her Senior Sister’s life and heal her with all her might. She did not know what the consequences of her breakthrough would be.

After hearing Zhao Wan’er’s explanation, Ye Qiu finally understood what had happened. He grabbed Lin Qingzhu’s small hand and took her pulse. At this moment, her aura was very chaotic.

This was because she had broken through two realms in a row and her foundation was unstable. Although her mind was firm, she was still too anxious. It caused the Mental Demon to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and cause chaos to the mind.

“Huh? What’s going on? Why is her mental state so stable?”

Ye Qiu took a closer look. Although the Mental Demon had been disturbing her mind, Ye Qiu realized that her state of mind was like a clear mirror. It was very clear and stable. It seemed that she had experienced some mental tempering before this, and her state of mind had reached a state where she forgot herself.

In the face of the influence of the Mental Demon, she could always remain as calm as water.

“Hmm… I see.”

After taking a closer look, Ye Qiu finally understood why. It turned out that Lin Qingzhu had endured a mental demon test in Gongsun Baiyu’s Sword of Emotion. She had let go of the past and passed the test. She had reached the realm of forgetting emotions and obtained a new life.

Therefore, the mental demon this time did not affect her much.

After understanding this, Ye Qiu finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this girl was blessed by the heavens. He could rest assured.

Ye Qiu slowly stood up and looked at the confused and aggrieved Zhao Wan’er. His heart trembled. He suddenly felt that he had been too fierce just now. Look at how scared this girl was.

Ye Qiu slowly helped Zhao Wan’er up and apologized, “Disciple, it’s my fault. I was a little anxious just now and scared you. I apologize.”

Looking at her master who was sincerely apologizing, Zhao Wan’er was so aggrieved that she cried. She had really been frightened just now. She had never seen her master so angry before. Furthermore, he was angry at her.

“It’s alright. Everything Master did was for our own good. Wan’er knows very well that Master doesn’t have to apologize. It’s all Wan’er’s fault.”

Ye Qiu patted the little girl’s head when he saw her admitting her mistake. He wanted to laugh.
