“That’s not right.”
Jun Changxiao said: “There’s definitely a problem!”
Regarding the future vision Ye Xingchen had once seen, he already knew about it. Now that Xie Lingyao was pregnant, this was very likely the catalyst for his disciple’s departure.
This also meant.
The vision in the stone cave foretold the future.
And predicted that Ye Xingchen would one day leave the Eternal Sect.
Who left it?
To be able to perceive the future—this level of power was extremely terrifying!
Jun Changxiao suddenly looked around vigilantly, even feeling that his every move seemed to be secretly observed by someone.
“You’re overthinking it.”
The System said: “Since the future vision is related to Ye Xingchen, why would they bother monitoring you in their free time.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell silent.
“The host should be more concerned about whether Ye Xingchen will leave the Eternal Sect for the sake of the child.” The System said.
“That’s right.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Will he leave?”
“If following the plot given by the stone cave illusion, he should leave.” The System said.
“The choice is in Xingchen’s hands.” Jun Changxiao said: “If he stays, he stays. If he leaves, I won’t force him.”
Undeniably.
Ye Xingchen was one of the sect’s most core disciples.
Jun Changxiao naturally very much hoped he would stay and assist him in establishing his imperial ambitions.
But in the face of family affection, if he truly wanted to take his wife and child away, he definitely wouldn’t try to keep him, and would even personally see him off to respect his choice.
Of course.
This leaving definitely didn’t mean departing from the sect.
Jun Changxiao would preserve Ye Xingchen’s disciple status.
Like how Su Xiaomo and Xia Shuiyun left to live the lives they wanted.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
On the arena platform, intense battles raged.
Lu Qianqian and the others all won their matches without any surprises.
As for the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s adopted sons, as long as they were matched with the Eternal Sect, they would either die or be injured.
Why not all dead?
Because after Lingli’s defeat, the Heavenly Demon Emperor ordered the remaining adopted sons that if they encountered Eternal Sect disciples, their first priority should be to preserve their lives as much as possible.
Simply put.
Don’t hope for the championship—first think about staying alive.
These adopted sons of the Heavenly Demon Emperor were all carefully selected, with great growth potential in the future. If they all died completely in the Universe Holy War, it would definitely be a huge loss.
“Boom—”
On the arena platform, He Wudi threw out a punch.
“Thud thud thud!”
That Ling Tian, whom the Heavenly Demon Emperor placed great hopes in, staggered backward, then fell outside the arena with an extremely exaggerated fake fall.
He Wudi was speechless.
He hadn’t even used much force, yet he rolled away?
“Eternal Sect disciple He Wudi wins!” The referee loudly announced.
“…”
The audience members all shook their heads.
Clearly, the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s adopted son called Ling Tian had deliberately been blasted off the platform as soon as he got on—obviously chickening out.
The adopted son chickened out.
That meant the Heavenly Demon Emperor chickened out.
“Boring.” Jun Changxiao shook his head.
Even this big villain’s adopted sons had started learning to act. Naturally, the Universe Holy War Grand Finals had lost its fun.
“The championship is already in the bag.”
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair, his gaze burning as he said: “Just waiting for the main quest to complete!”
The Universe Holy War was the highest-level competition in the upper universe. Having disciples rely on powerful strength to defeat geniuses from various systems and planes and claim the championship was a symbol of strength, a symbol of dominance. At the very least, it should complete 1000%, right?
“Pfft!”
The System couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
1000%.
He was dreaming.
“Don’t laugh.”
“Let me reason it out for you.”
Jun Changxiao said: “The Heavenly Demon Emperor’s adopted sons were killed by my disciples in such numbers—do you think he’ll let me go?”
“No.”
The System said: “He’ll probably come kill you as soon as the competition ends.”
“Can I contend with him now?”
“No.”
“Since I can’t contend with him, yet killed so many adopted sons and completely enraged him, would the author deliberately set up such a desperate situation for me?”
The System said: “What are you trying to express?”
“It’s simple.”
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, and said with conviction: “This time, when my disciple wins the championship and the main quest completes, my realm will break through, giving me the qualifications to challenge the Heavenly Demon Emperor. This is the author’s true intention.”
The System was silent for a while, then said: “That actually might be possible.”
…
Fugui Inn.
The temporary residence for Jun Changxiao and the others.
“Creak!”
A guest room door was pushed open. Ye Xingchen carried Xie Lingyao inside. Blood was still spurting, but he paid no attention, demonstrating what it meant to be a true man.
“This guest sir…” The shop assistant stood at the door, looking at the bloodstains on the ground and weakly asked: “Are you sure you don’t need bandaging?”
“Scram.”
“Right away.”
The shop assistant tactfully disappeared.
Ye Xingchen walked to the bedside and laid down the unconscious Xie Lingyao, then stood in place. His gaze gradually developed a complex luster.
This woman had repeatedly disturbed his state of mind.
Now with such a good opportunity, why not eliminate her!
Thinking of this, Ye Xingchen raised his hand. True Spirit power swirled around as he struck down.
He had clearly made up his mind, clearly intended to eliminate future troubles, yet just as he was about to make contact, he suddenly softened. Not only did he not strike down hard, but instead approached her belly, sensing the fetal energy emanating from it.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
It was as if a heart was slowly beating.
The closer he sensed the fetal energy, the more it gradually melted the aloof Ye Xingchen. A trace of tenderness rose in his ruthless gaze.
No.
Not tenderness.
More like the loving kindness a father would inadvertently reveal.
Ye Xingchen stood there like this, his palm always pressed against Xie Lingyao’s belly. Whenever he detected something unusual about the fetal energy’s rhythm, he would become extremely nervous.
“Thump thump!”
“Thump thump!”
The fetal energy’s rhythm became urgent.
Ye Xingchen immediately panicked even more. Not knowing what to do, he stood in place like an idiot.
“Creak!”
Just then, the door was pushed open.
The Medical Hall’s top medical team quickly came to the bedside.
They all put on masks and took out various professional medical equipment, saying: “Senior Brother Ye, we’ve come on the Sect Master’s orders to examine your wife. Please leave immediately.”
Gou Sheng was still thoughtful.
Though the person was still watching the matches, he had promptly dispatched the medical team.
Especially since he sent all female disciples.
“Good, good!”
Ye Xingchen hurriedly retreated outside and stood at the door, raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just letting out a long breath like this, due to excessive blood loss, his eyelids immediately rolled back and he fainted.
…
“…”
Ye Xingchen groggily opened his eyes.
Suddenly remembering he should be outside the guest room, why was he lying in bed? He hastily sat up.
“Senior Brother Ye.”
Sun Bukong quickly pressed him down, saying: “You lost too much blood and need bed rest.”
Only then did Ye Xingchen realize he was in the Medical Hall’s ward, so he asked with difficulty: “That woman…”
“She’s fine.”
Sun Bukong said: “The child is fine too.”
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen obediently lay back down and said: “How long was I unconscious?”
“Three days.”
Sun Bukong answered.
So long?
Ye Xingchen urgently asked: “Is the Universe Holy War over?”
“Mm, it’s over.”
“Who won?”
“Junior Brother He was one step slower than Eldest Senior Sister in the finals and jumped off the arena platform, bravely claiming the championship of the Eleventh Universe Holy War Grand Finals.”
“…”
Ye Xingchen wasn’t surprised by this result.
But the readers were very surprised—you pass out once and the competition ends in Sun Bukong’s narration? I have book coins—who are you looking down on!
