After torturing Liang Zhixing, Ye Haochuan forces him to swear loyalty. He then learns about the Qingfeng List from a young girl, discovering it's a crucial ranking for talented young cultivators, especially for those without powerful backgrounds seeking entry into the South Sect. Ye Haochuan finds familiar names on the list, including Ju Yuqu and a mysterious woman who might be Jiang Shuying, prompting him to investigate.

Ye Haochuan didn’t have time to think much, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth instantly appeared in his hand, thrusting towards the swiftly approaching figure.

Clang clang clang~

A series of weapon clashes rang out one after another in the blink of an eye.

Ye Haochuan’s figure had long vanished from the original spot, engaged in a duel with the dark shadow.

Only after a long while did the two figures finally appear at either end of the alley, their eyes filled with killing intent, half-raised weapons eyeing each other warily.

"Who are you, to possess such skills? You must be on the Qingfeng List!" The figure in the shadow was a dark-skinned young man, speaking with authority.

Ye Haochuan frowned slightly and asked in return, "And who are you? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

Upon hearing this, the young man was somewhat displeased and snorted, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to confess, once I capture you, let’s see if you can still be so stubborn."

After speaking, the young man jabbed the long staff in his hand fiercely, and immediately a red flame swirled up, forming a three-zhang tall Fierce Fire Vajra Ape, roaring incessantly at Ye Haochuan.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure swept across the surroundings, raising gusts of wind.

Ye Haochuan felt this pressure and became instantly vigilant.

This guy, his strength is far superior to Ye Hechan, clearly hard to deal with.

Just as he was about to deploy his methods, he suddenly heard a young girl’s voice from beside him exclaiming, "Stop!"

The young man paused upon hearing this and turned his head to ask, "Xun’er, don’t be afraid, this guy dared to forcibly abduct you, your brother will definitely kill him to vent your anger!"

The young girl pouted and said, "Wrong, wrong, the person who kidnapped me has already been dealt with by this big brother; he is a good man!"

The young man was stunned upon hearing this, the anger around him instantly dissipated, and the fierce Fierce Fire Vajra Ape disappeared as well.

Only after hearing further explanation from the little girl did he awkwardly smile and apologized to Ye Haochuan, "Sorry, I got it wrong, I just heard my sister was abducted, I thought it was you..."

Damn, do I really look like a bad guy?

Ye Haochuan cracked a bitter smile, yet did not get angry, instead, he sized up the young man in front of him.

This guy is clearly Tang Yucheng, ranked eighty-sixth on the Qingfeng List.

"Damn, being ranked eighty-sixth has such strength, those ahead in rank must be absurdly strong!" Ye Haochuan muttered to himself.

Luckily, not everyone on the Qingfeng List is going to participate in the tournament, otherwise, he’d really be worried about not being able to complete the task this time.

Tang Yucheng saw Ye Haochuan had not replied, he walked over, placed his hand on Ye Haochuan’s shoulder, and said nonchalantly, "I say, we’re all young people, you won’t hold a grudge for life because of a little misunderstanding, right?"

Ye Haochuan didn’t expect this guy to be so cheerful and easily familiar, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I’m not that petty, I just didn’t expect, wandering around casually, to encounter a big figure from the Qingfeng List, nice to meet you!"

"You’re not bad either, just now fighting neck and neck with me, I think you’re not some nameless person. So, still unwilling to say your name?" Tang Yucheng expressed slight displeasure.

"Ye Yichuan, just an unknown person." Ye Haochuan laughed.

Tang Yucheng pondered momentarily and then took a booklet from the young girl, flipped through it, and indeed found no mention of Ye Haochuan from head to foot.

"Damn, the people ranking must be blind, with your strength, getting into the top one hundred shouldn’t be a problem at all!" Tang Yucheng expressed regret.

But he didn’t dwell on it for long, upon hearing that Ye Haochuan was also here for the tournament, he directly patted his chest and said, "Since you saved my sister, you’re a friend of Tang Yucheng, if we meet in the duel, I’ll let you have three moves."

This guy talks as if I’m completely not his match.

Ye Haochuan cracked a bitter smile inwardly, knowing this person is straightforward, he didn’t take it to heart.

The trio chatted for a while, exchanged message jade slip imprints, and then returned to their respective lodgings, preparing for tomorrow’s duel.

Witnessing Tang Yucheng’s strength, Ye Haochuan felt a sense of urgency, worked diligently throughout the night cultivating, further solidifying his newly broken-through strength.

Early the next morning, Ye Haochuan and a few others, led by Ye Hongmao, once again arrived at the majestic square.

At this moment, the square was already surrounded layer upon layer, and the closer to the front, the higher the cultivation level of the spectators. The frontmost layer was evidently occupied by the clan leaders of several big families.

Perhaps to ordinary people, these individuals were figures high in the sky, but in the eyes of the Temple, they were no different from ordinary people, without even the qualification to step onto the square.

Ye Hongmao naturally did not have the qualification to step onto the square either; he seriously cautioned from the stage below, "This time whether the Ye Family can make a dazzling impact depends entirely on you, don’t let me down!"

"Father, rest assured, we will certainly live up to your expectations!" Ye Hechan promised resolutely.

Ye Haochuan, however, didn’t have much interest in saying these meaningless words; he directly stepped onto the square’s steps.

Because the qualification for participation was particularly strict, the tournament did not have many participants, only around three to four hundred people. At this moment, the square had gathered more than half.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Ye Haochuan saw Tang Yucheng’s figure, the two exchanged eye contact as a greeting, but did not say much, each standing in their own position.

Besides, he also saw Ju Yuqu, still looking down on everyone, not even glancing at the opponents this time, just waiting with closed eyes.

Shortly, three figures descended from the sky, the square, accommodating tens of thousands, fell silent, everyone appeared devout.

Among the three, the scruffy old man from yesterday stood to the right, alongside two others, one middle-aged and one immortal-like elderly.

After descending, the elderly man and scruffy old man sat on the prepared golden seats. As for the middle-aged man, he leisurely walked to the square’s center and slowly spoke, "I am Chen Man, Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall of the South Sect, ordered to preside over this selection."

The introduction was extremely brief, not even mentioning who the other two were.

After speaking, Chen Man took out a booklet, called out two names, and then said, "Those whose names weren’t called, step aside, those whose names were called, remain for the duel, all means can be used."

This deacon seemed to cherish his words like gold, with two simple sentences, he opened the curtain of the duel.

Luckily, most people present weren’t participating for the first time, so quickly, they knew what to do and retreated to the sides of the square.

Not wanting to be with Ye Yixuan and others, Ye Haochuan followed Tang Yucheng to the other side.

The first match was quite exciting, both participants were True Immortal Mid-Stage cultivation, fighting evenly matched, it lasted for half an hour before one narrowly won, giving a good start to the tournament.

"Second match, Ye Yichuan, Tang An!" Chen Man’s voice remained emotionless.

"Damn, you really have bad luck, getting paired with someone on the list in the first match!" Before Ye Haochuan could go up on stage, Tang Yucheng beside him had already started to laugh bitterly.
