Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 583 - 274 Yi Jie: Suddenly feel that this vengeance is not necessarily a must! (6000 words)_1

「Nine Heavens.」

Within the vast expanse of the palatial halls, a look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes as they beheld the scene within the Guantian Mirror.

"The one who died was actually Yi Chen?"

"How interesting!"

"Sanqing… that Immortal Sect was once at its zenith, producing many renowned figures. I heard it weakened after fighting the Demon Race, but it seems it's now poised for a comeback!"

The powerful experts discussed amongst themselves. Their eyes reflected surprise, but they were mostly just watching a show. After all, the one who died wasn't one of their own.

Inevitably, some turned their gazes to Yi Jie, curious to see his reaction.

As expected, Yi Jie's face had completely darkened. He gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling. "Impossible! Yi Chen is one of the most brilliant prodigies of our Yi Clan! How could he be defeated by someone from the Lower Realm? There must be some deceit at play!"

Suddenly recalling something, he declared, "There must have been an expert at the Earth Immortal level or higher lying in ambush in that courtyard! Everything we saw was an illusion; Yi Chen was insidiously killed!"

Upon hearing this, the elder in charge of operating the Guantian Mirror narrowed his eyes. "The Guantian Mirror detected no traces of anyone at or above the Earth Immortal level making a move."

Yi Jie retorted, "The Guantian Mirror isn't always accurate. Didn't that small courtyard manage to block its surveillance?"

Yu Changhe suddenly spoke, his voice still calm and indifferent, "Then, what do you propose?"

Yi Jie responded coldly, "I will descend to the Lower Realm and investigate the truth myself! If the Sanqing Immortal Sect truly used such disgraceful methods, I will make them pay the price! A blood debt must be paid in blood!"

Hearing these words, everyone present furrowed their brows.

An elder spoke up, "When the rules were first established, it was made perfectly clear that during this trial, none of our clans could send individuals who are too powerful to interfere. At most, a few Holy Realm Servants may accompany the participants. As for those above the Tribulation Transcendence realm, they are absolutely forbidden from taking action! Are you trying to break the rules?"

With a cold expression, his silver hair dancing wildly, Yi Jie shot back, "I am merely going to the Lower Realm to investigate the truth, not to interfere in the matters of Longhuang Island!"

Yu Changhe chuckled. "You might want to meddle directly in Longhuang Island's affairs, but you're too old to get in! Besides, who's to say you aren't just feeling disgruntled that your Yi Clan has already lost two members before the trial has even begun? Perhaps you're thinking of laying a hand on our descendants as well?"

At these words, numerous gazes, each with a different meaning, fell upon Yi Jie, exerting immense pressure.

Grinding his teeth, Yi Jie declared, "Preposterous! I am one of the nine great leaders of the Yi Clan, held in high esteem! How could I possibly stoop to such despicable deeds?"

In response, everyone present said in unison, "We're not so sure about that!"

Yi Jie was speechless.

...

「Sanqing.」

Figures began to fill the night sky, each one emitting a distinct aura and brilliance, resembling a star-filled cosmos. The Sanqing Immortal Sect reacted swiftly, activating their Formation and opening their gates to welcome the guests.

"Our Sect's Saint Heir has just endured a great battle and needs to recuperate. It is not convenient for him to receive guests at this time. I hope you all will understand!"

"No worries, no worries at all!"

"Rest assured, Sect Master, we understand!"

"Brother Wang's health is the priority! We'll just sit for a moment before we leave, just for a moment!"

The atmosphere was entirely amicable.

However, few noticed that in the night sky high above Spirit Turtle Peak, several figures remained hidden within the void. They silently observed Wang Xiu's courtyard below, their eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

"One less Yi Chen, one more Wang Xiu. It's hard to say if that's good news or bad news," one of them remarked.

"I see no need to worry. He's suffered severe injuries repeatedly, and his strength is greatly diminished. Even if he enters Longhuang Island, it's highly unlikely he'll be able to contend with us."

"I wouldn't be so sure. Even while injured, he still managed to kill Yi Chen... How can you know that once we're on Longhuang Island, he won't be willing to pay an even greater price to trade his life for one of ours?"

"If that's the case, why don't we act now and eliminate this threat while it's still in the cradle?"

At this suggestion, the group fell silent. Their eyes showed that they were tempted, a murderous intent stirring within.

This was the most opportune moment. Wang Xiu was unconscious from his injuries, and the members of Sanqing were busy entertaining the many prodigies from the Nine Heavens. This was likely the moment Wang Xiu was at his most vulnerable. They possessed techniques passed down within their clans and were confident they could sneak in without alerting the experts of Sanqing. If they were willing to take the risk, they had a chance.

At this thought, everyone's gaze unconsciously turned towards the figure at the very front.

The leader, a man in yellow robes, stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was icy, and with each breath, a faint dragon's roar echoed, causing the surrounding void to tremble. His mere presence seemed to be a burden the void could barely withstand, making it rumble in protest.

"We need not take the risk," he said slowly. As he spoke, it was as if endless snow fell upon this patch of the void, chilling it to the bone. "Let's go."

With that, he turned and vanished into the frigid emptiness.

No need meant it was unnecessary, and also not worth it.

A single Wang Xiu, while certainly troublesome, was nothing more than that. The risks of acting here did not outweigh the potential rewards.

When the time truly comes, if he dares stand in our way, we will simply kill him.

What they did not know was that in the courtyard below, a pair of eyes had been fixated on the very spot in the void where they had just stood, watching in silence.

Seeing them depart, Luo Binglan hoisted her axe onto her shoulder and returned to her room.

...

「Inside the room.」

Wang Xiu had already fully recovered. He showed no sign of his previous weakness and had even changed his clothes.

Glancing at the night sky outside, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh. What a pity. I thought I could bait a few more fish!

That group was immensely powerful. The aura of their leader was unfathomable, far surpassing even Yi Chen's. It was unclear which Ancient Clan they hailed from. They also possessed very special methods.
