Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Everyone had already prepared for the worst. They originally thought that with Ye Xuan’s things, even if they were not strong enough, they would have a 50 – 50 chance of winning the elder competition. Now it seemed that this path was cut off, they could only place their hopes on Han Yue.

“Elder Ye, don’t feel pressured. I’ve asked around, and those elders are at least sky rank, with the weakest being the peak level of the earth rank. If you can’t beat them, just admit defeat.”

Ye Xuan’s cultivation level was really not enough. It was like a sheep mixed in with a pack of wolves.

Hearing their words of comfort, Ye Xuan felt a little amused, but he didn’t say anything. He assured them, “Don’t worry, I can protect myself.”

Thinking of Ye Xuan’s actions and the supreme-grade items he took out from time to time, even if he couldn’t beat the other side, he had no problem protecting himself. Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.

Someone joked, “If we could attack with spirit stones, I’m afraid the spirit stones Elder Ye would take out could kill many people.”

Although this was a joke, it was enough to prove that everyone recognized Ye Xuan’s wealth.

Soon, it was time for the competition to start. Everyone was ready to go, but Han Yue was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Xuan asked curiously, “Why didn’t the sect master come?”

Han Yue had always been a loner and didn’t like crowded places. Except for the beginning, she basically didn’t appear in public. She only showed up occasionally, and no one knew what she was busy with.

Everyone was used to her sudden appearance and disappearance, so no one took it to heart.

“The sect master doesn’t like to mingle in overly lively places. It’s just a competition between the elders anyway, so it’s fine not to go.”

The square of the capital was bustling with activity, still packed with people. Only after everyone had arrived did the people of the seven great sects arrive, but not all had arrived.

Only a few from the Sword Sect, Dao Seeking Sect, and Misty Illusory Manor were present. The attendance for this competition was very far off compared to the formation at the beginning.

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered with a trace of deep thought. It seemed that the people of the seven great sects had hidden the news very well. Up until now, he had not heard any related news leak out.

“Due to special reasons, we have unanimously decided to cancel the elder competition and directly change it to a battle between sect masters. Please be prepared.”

The sudden announcement caused an uproar among the crowd and pulled Ye Xuan back from his thoughts.

“What? We’ve been waiting for a few days, and the competition between the elders was suddenly canceled. Instead, the third round will be carried out now?”

“What’s going on? This has never happened before. First, the competition was delayed, and now they’re canceling the elder’s competition.”

“I don’t agree. This is too much. You can’t just cancel it just like that. You have to give us a reason.”

“That’s right, even if you’re the organizer, you can’t be so sloppy.”

It wasn’t surprising that everyone had such a big reaction. Although there had been changes in the past competitions, they had not been as big as the current ones. The elders’ competition had been canceled, which directly affected the nature of the competition.

There were only two rounds of competition. This meant that the sects that had lost in the disciple competition would no longer have a chance. It was very likely that they would be eliminated, which was extremely unfair to some people.

The originally quiet venue was now as lively as a wet market. The person on the high platform could not help but frown. The person on the high platform said, “Everyone, please be quiet. There’s a reason for this. I hope everyone can understand.”

“What happened? This year’s competition is a little too strange.”

In the face of everyone’s questions, the person on the high platform appeared particularly cold.

“If you don’t want to participate and have any objections, you may leave.”

With the release of a powerful pressure, the square, which had been noisy earlier, became silent in the blink of an eye. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter for a while.

The people of the seven great sects didn’t say much. They left after coldly throwing out these words, leaving the crowd in their original place. It was only after a long time that they began to discuss.

“They’re too much. They can delay and cancel whenever they want.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, the biggest power is in their hands. We can’t win against them with our strength. What else can we do? Maybe there’s really something wrong.”

“Did you notice that there are very few people from the seven great sects this time? I wonder what the others are doing.”

Everyone had some complaints in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to say anything, let alone withdraw from the competition. They had only gotten such an opportunity after decades. If they waited for the next time, they didn’t know when it would be. Even if they were unwilling, they could only accept the changes to the competition.

Some people were happy with this result, while others were sad. It was neither too good nor too bad for the Tai Qing Sect, so all their hopes were placed on Han Yue.

As long as she did not rank last in the sect master battle, based on their performance in the previous round, it would not be a problem for them to squeeze into the top few. It was very likely that they would end up with a good result.

At the thought of this, everyone was extremely excited. One of them said, “Let’s hurry back and tell the sect master this piece of news.”

They thought that Han Yue was resting in her room, but when they knocked on the door and went in, they found that there was no one inside.

“That’s strange. The sect master isn’t inside. Where could she have gone at this time?”

When they couldn’t find Han Yue, they realized that things weren’t as simple as they thought.

“We’ve searched Elder Ye’s place, but we didn’t see the sect master.”

“We didn’t find her either.”

The disciples he sent out said that they didn’t see Han Yue. Thinking back to what Han Yue said to him a few days ago, Ye Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

“When did you guys see the sect master recently?”

“I think a few days ago. I’ve seen the sect master once, but I haven’t seen her since.”

After asking around, he found out that everyone had only seen Han Yue a few days ago. Ye Xuan had a bad feeling, and the others also realized what was going on.

One of them said in shock, “The sect master has disappeared!”
