"Rumble...
Amid the intense roar, a massive arena rose from Saint King State. As the arena rose, the state was compressed and deformed by the immense force, forming a ring around the arena.
The arena was so large that it was almost the size of the original Saint King State, and as the arena pressed in, the original Saint King State formed a ring of stands.
As the arena appeared, endless chaotic energy erupted, the entire Saint King Prefecture was shrouded in immortal mist, smoke and clouds danced, and every breath made one feel completely at ease.
"It is said that every time the Saint King Assembly appears, it brings new changes to this world. Each Saint King gathers myriad paths of fortune and becomes the king of the entire world." Someone shouted excitedly.
For their generation, witnessing such a grand event was already a tremendous blessing, and everyone was thrilled.
With the arena appearing, the prodigies from the major powers began to stir. The older generation of experts looked at the arena, sighing in disbelief, regretting that they had been born too early and were no longer qualified to participate in the Saint King Assembly.
Countless young disciples looked at the arena with excitement, their blood surging with excitement—this was their own arena.
The disciples inside Lingxiao Academy had already begun to assemble. The academy was positioned in the first ring at the front of the arena, while the Hall Master was already standing quietly on the academy plaza, watching the arena.
Behind the Hall Master were Bai Zhantang and another Vice Hall Master, followed by Bai Shishi's mother, Bai Xiaole's mother, and several powerful figures dressed in War God Hall attire.
Now, hundreds of thousands of disciples had gathered in the square. Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and others looked around, but there was no sign of Long Chen.
"Where has your boss been? Why aren't you here at this hour? Bai Shishi couldn't help but say.
"We don't know either!"
Guo Ran and Xia Chen were also secretly anxious. Although they knew the arena would take some time to open, with the boss gone now, they were like ants on a hot pan.
Behind the two, more than two thousand Dragon Blood warriors were already eagerly watching. Many of them hadn't seen Long Chen since Tianwu parted ways; they were more eager than anyone else to see him.
"Where's Qingxuan?" Bai Shishi asked.
"Well... This ... I don't know. Guo Ran immediately felt troubled. He had guessed that the eldest might have gone to find Yu Qingxuan, but he didn't dare say anything.
"When we left Xinghe Sect, Sister Qingxuan was still in seclusion. No one knows the details." A Dragonblood warrior hurriedly said.
Although Long Chen had notified them to come to Lingxiao Academy, Yu Qingxuan was in a crucial period of seclusion, so they dared not disturb her.
"Ah, Sister Qingxuan, you're here!"
Guo Ran suddenly called out. Everyone turned toward the voice, and sure enough, Yu Qingxuan, dressed all in white, looked like a lotus stripped away, walking in.
Seeing Yu Qingxuan, Bai Shishi immediately became a bit nervous and bowed to her: "Little sister, Bai Shishi greets Sister Qingxuan." It
turned out that during this period, Yu Qingxuan was at a critical moment in comprehending the shackles of alchemy. She had just emerged from seclusion but found that Long Chen and the others from the Xinghe Sect had all disappeared.
That's why he came to Lingxiao Palace, just in time for the gathering there. Seeing Bai Shishi pay her respects, Yu Qingxuan quickly bowed and said, "
Sister Shishi, you're too kind. Last time we parted in the Three Thousand Worlds, I missed you very much. Seeing you today, you look radiant and radiant, even more beautiful than before. No wonder Long Chen has always thought of you."
Praised by Yu Qingxuan, Bai Shishi's pretty face flushed slightly, especially when Yu Qingxuan mentioned her radiant appearance, which seemed to hint at Long Chen's company.
However, Yu Qingxuan's last sentence secretly pleased Bai Shishi. When it came to relationships, Bai Shishi was very innocent and believed everything Yu Qingxuan said.
When Yu Qingxuan arrived, Bai Zhantang, Bai Shishi's mother, and Bai Xiaole's mother couldn't help but secretly watch them.
Seeing Bai Shishi blush, Bai Zhantang immediately said with deep resentment, "Usually pretty tough, but when it counts, she backs down. The moment they meet, you're at a disadvantage. Is my daughter Bai Zhantang going to be a concubine for me?" Bai
Zhantang could tell that Bai Shishi was no match for her; at the first sentence, she blushed, which made him feel especially frustrated.
"What do you mean by 'small'?"
As soon as Bai Zhantang spoke, Bai Shishi's mother's face instantly turned cold, and she grabbed the soft flesh at Bai Zhantang's waist with one hand.
Bai Zhantang immediately tensed up all over, gritting his teeth in pain. Clearly, his words had angered Bai Shishi's mother and also offended Bai Xiaole's mother.
Because Bai Shishi's mother and Bai Xiaole's mother had no age difference; it was simply because Bai Shishi's mother was two years older than Bai Xiaole's mother, so Bai Shishi's mother became the older sister, not the first or second branch.
But Bai Zhantang was out of his mind. Seeing that his daughter was no match for others, his momentum weakened and he felt annoyed. His grumbling was fine, but he quickly offended both his wives.
At this moment, Bai Zhantang realized he had said the wrong thing. Seeing the two ladies' looks as if they were devouring, he quickly backed down, his eyes darting around and gesturing with his hands, signaling that everyone was watching.
Indeed, Bai Zhantang's unusual behavior caused some unusual reaction among those around. Even the Hall Master couldn't help but look at Bai Zhantang. However, the Hall Master said nothing and turned his face away.
"It's fine, you guys keep going. We didn't see anything." The other vice hall master smiled slightly and also turned his face away.
The others also wore strange expressions, turning their faces away as if nothing had happened.
Bai Zhantang was instantly furious. Several of these guys were people who risked their lives in daily life, yet not a single one was speaking up for him.
"Let me tell you, Shishi is my daughter. She has the right to pursue the happiness she wants. Don't make things worse for me, or I won't let you off." Bai Shishi's mother said fiercely.
Bai Zhantang immediately nodded like a pecking chick. Only then did Bai Shishi's mother let him go. Meanwhile, over there, Bai Shishi was already holding hands with Yu Qingxuan, chatting and laughing.
Seeing Bai Shishi's smile, her mother let out a long sigh. Bai Shishi had always been proud and withdrawn, and in fact, she had no friends by her side.
Only she knew that beneath Bai Shishi's strong exterior lay a lonely, hesitant heart. Although she didn't know what the future held, at least Bai Shishi's smile at this moment came from the heart.
"Sister Shishi, where's Long Chen?" Yu Qingxuan finally couldn't help but ask.
Yu Qingxuan had wanted to ask from the start, but if she asked so rashly, she was afraid Bai Shishi would be offended, so she held back until now.
Bai Shishi was stunned: "Isn't Long Chen supposed to be with you?" "
Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, the arena trembled, and massive staircases appeared from the edge. One of them was not far from Lingxiao Academy, and as soon as the steps appeared, countless disciples swarmed toward the staircase.
