Chapter 1611: Chapter 1611: Martial Arts Tournament

"Divine Doctor Sect remnants?"

Even Zhao Xunjian’s expression changed slightly upon hearing these words, his eyes betraying a hint of seriousness and apprehension.

Back then, if one were to argue which sect was the strongest, the Ye Family would undoubtedly come first, the Divine Doctor Sect second, and the Zhao Family, now at its peak, could only obediently rank third.

It was precisely for this reason that the Zhao Family launched a night attack, and as soon as Zhao Xunjian ascended to the position of Alliance Hierarch, they immediately moved against the Divine Doctor Sect, annihilating it completely.

Recalling those years.

When Chen Xuanba was not present in the Divine Doctor Sect, the Zhao Family had to unite with the two sects, Qingcheng Mountain and Ghost King Valley, to barely manage to eradicate the Divine Doctor Sect, and the three sects paid a heavy price for this.

This demonstrates just how terrifyingly powerful the Divine Doctor Sect was at its peak.

Furthermore, whether it was Zhao Xunjian, or Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu, or indeed everyone in the Martial Arts world, they all knew very well that the Divine Doctor Sect was so strong because it had the ultimate martial arts from all the sects in the Martial Arts world.

In martial arts dramas, it is often said, "All martial arts under heaven come from Shaolin."

But in the Martial Arts world, saying "All martial arts under heaven come from the Divine Doctor Sect" is not an exaggeration!

If Ye Xuan truly is a remnant of the Divine Doctor Sect, the level of danger he poses may be even more terrifying than what was demonstrated today on Canglang Island!

"Indeed, that scoundrel Ye Xuan must be a remnant of the Divine Doctor Sect!"

In the silence, Wu Qingzi said in a solemn voice, "Back in Yanzi City, how did Zhao Yunfei die? He was killed by Ye Xuan’s Void Spirit Fist. Such a secret technique, aside from the Zhao Family, only the Divine Doctor Sect possesses it!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yixiu’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly looked at Zhao Xunjian: "Alliance Hierarch, since Ye Xuan is undoubtedly a remnant of the Divine Doctor Sect, we absolutely cannot afford to overlook or tolerate it, otherwise, the consequences will be endless!"

Wu Qingzi also advised solemnly: "Alliance Hierarch, that scoundrel Ye Xuan is extraordinarily powerful, and today on Canglang Island, even such a display couldn’t subdue him. In the entire Martial Arts world, you are probably the only one who can bring him to heel!"

Feng Yixiu and Wu Qingzi both said at the same time, "We ask the Alliance Hierarch to strike and eradicate the remnants of the Divine Doctor Sect!"

The Zhao Family, Qingcheng Mountain, and Ghost King Valley have always been in league with one another, conspiring together.

The interests of the three sects are aligned, and their enemies are naturally the same.

The remnants of the Divine Doctor Sect are a target they must eliminate.

Especially now, with Ye Xuan revealing such astonishing power. As accomplices to the Divine Doctor Sect’s massacre years ago, how could Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu possibly be at ease?

They are eager to eliminate Ye Xuan, removing any future threats, so they can finally rest easy.

How could Zhao Xunjian feel any different?

Recently, due to Ye Xuan’s sudden rise, hasn’t the Zhao Family suffered enough losses?

No one is more desperate to eradicate Ye Xuan than he is.

But...

Zhao Xunjian shook his head, sighing as he said, "For now, I cannot take action."

"Why?"

Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu were both puzzled.

"In three months, at the New Year, the triennial Martial Arts Tournament will commence, and at that time, the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch is to be contested by martial prowess. During this period, I must focus on cultivating my peak strength, securing the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch is the most important task."

Zhao Xunjian said in a serious tone, "Ye Xuan is no simple character. If I am distracted by him during this time, there may inevitably be some loss, and even if I were to kill him, losing the position of Alliance Hierarch would be more than not worth it."

Speaking of the Martial Arts Tournament, Zhao Xunjian inwardly cursed a hundred times.

Years ago, the Zhao Family, through underhanded means, massacred the Divine Doctor Sect. Although Zhao Xunjian ascended to the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, his title was in name only, as many heroes from major sects didn’t submit to him.

To win them over, Zhao Xunjian had no choice but to alter the Martial Arts world rules to establish the Martial Arts Tournament.

The so-called Martial Arts Tournament, in simple terms, is a grand stage that all members of the Martial Arts world can participate in, held every three years. The one who emerges victorious becomes the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Through this means, Zhao Xunjian secured his position as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. Though many sects still look down on him, they have no words to say since their skills can’t match his, and they can only keep their grievances to themselves.

He hadn’t expected this brilliant tactic that he devised to become a stumbling block for himself now.

It’s infuriating and vexing!

"Alliance Hierarch, you worry too much!"

Wu Qingzi respectfully said, "For so many years, every Martial Arts Tournament, you have been unmatched, invincible, and surely, three months later, there will be no exception."

"It’s not about being over-prepared; it’s about being under-prepared."

Zhao Xunjian sighed deeply, troubled: "Qin Yitian of the Zhengyang Sect has progressed rapidly over the past few years. At the last Martial Arts Tournament, she almost defeated me. Who knows what kind of strength she possesses for this upcoming tournament?"

Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu’s faces changed dramatically upon hearing this.

Qin Yitian of the Zhengyang Sect!

A woman, the strongest and most mysterious woman in the history of the Martial Arts world!

Her age is a mystery. Some say she is an ancient witch with the technique of eternal youth; no person under fifty could possibly have her kind of power. Some say she is a stunning beauty in her prime because most people don’t believe in the existence of eternal youth techniques in this world.

She always wears a veil, saying she won’t remove it for life unless she meets her soulmate. Even with only her eyes and brows exposed, she is already a kingdom-toppling beauty with an elegant, noble aura that has left numerous Martial Arts experts enraptured, worshipping her as their true goddess.

Yet, among the countless heroes and champions of the Martial Arts world, not a single person has ever caught her eye.

Qin Yitian’s rise was exceptionally abrupt.

To accurately account the time, she first made her presence known in the Martial Arts world just five years ago. In those five years, her progress has been incredibly rapid, and in the Martial Arts Tournament three years ago, she was already able to withstand over a hundred moves from Zhao Xunjian without being defeated!

For the past three years, Qin Yitian has remained secluded in the Zhengyang Sect with no activity, and no one knows how much her strength has grown. What kind of intensity will she showcase at the Martial Arts Tournament three months later?

Perhaps she was too low-key, leading Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu to initially overlook her.

When Zhao Xunjian brought her up, they both realized the current unfavorable situation for them.

On one side, there are wolves, and tigers on the other.

They are caught in a dilemma!

"This..."

Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu exchanged looks full of unwillingness: "Are we just going to let that scoundrel Ye Xuan go free like this?"

"Obviously not."

Zhao Xunjian narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "In the next three months, although I cannot personally take action against him, creating some trouble for him is not a difficult task; let him have his way for three months first. After the dust settles post-Martial Arts Tournament, I can then take action to eliminate him without delay."

"That’s the only way."

Wu Qingzi and Feng Yixiu nodded, contemplating as they said, "A mere three months will pass in the blink of an eye. No matter how formidable Ye Xuan is, he can’t stir up much trouble. Forbearance in small matters leads to greater strategy, and the Alliance Hierarch is wise!"

Zhao Xunjian’s mouth twitched and his half-closed eyes revealed a glint of killing intent.

Divine Doctor Sect remnants.

Ye Family remnants.

Once the Martial Arts Tournament concludes, none of you will survive!
