They were Lu Qing from Myriad Spell Pavilion and Feng Rulie from Cloudtower Clan.

There was no doubt they were luckier than Lu Ye and Ying Wuji as they came across each other not long after they arrived in the Peerless Continent.

Although they were only acquaintances, they had a natural affinity for each other as they were from Thousand Demon Ridge.

Then, they joined forces and looked into the current situation of this world. Inevitably, they bumped into some Corpse Race members and contended with them.

Cultivators from Purple Star Palace happened to be there, so they approached them and then brought them back to the Hidden Realm.

In the past few days, they got to know the current situation in this world. As for why the Heavens in Jiu Zhou had sent them, who were highly ranked in the Fight for Supremacy, to this place, they had some speculation.

When they heard that those from Purple Star Palace were about to launch an attack against Lin Xun’s Grave, they were tempted and offered to help.

They were cultivators from the top Sects in Jiu Zhou who arrived in this broken world. Although they were not braggy, they could hardly conceal their pride.

Beside Feng Rulie, Lu Qing whispered, “Brother Feng, I guess the Palace Master of Purple Star Palace would like to find out how powerful we are, so we probably shouldn’t hold back our powers.”

Feng Rulie grinned. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she’ll never underestimate the powers of cultivators from Jiu Zhou.”

“We still have to be careful, though. I’ve heard that Lin Xun is a rotten Corpse Race member, and he has many corpses under his wings. We shall work together. I’ll try to make Lin Xun reveal his weaknesses and you’ll kill him.”

Feng Rulie nodded with an icy gaze. He rubbed his hand against his spear as a glint flashed across his weapon. “I’ll never underestimate any enemy.”

Just then, someone shouted, “The door is open!”

Feng Rulie immediately charged towards the door in a menacing manner, and a split second later, Lu Qing followed him.

The cultivators from Purple Star Palace glanced at them with a look of approval. Regardless of whether they were indeed as powerful as described in the rumours, their bravery in fighting the Corpse Race was similar to that of the people from Purple Star Palace.

After the two of them were gone, the cultivators from Purple Star Palace, who were well-prepared, stepped out of the Hidden Realm as well.

Beside Pang Huanyin, the elderly man bent his back. “Palace Master.”

“Let’s go. We shall see if our guests are indeed so brave,” Pang Huanyin said and shuffled towards the door with her hands behind her back. High-spirited, she passed through the door.

The view around her shifted. The epic battle she had expected didn’t happen. The cultivators who had left the Hidden Realm earlier scattered around the sky with their weapons in their hands, looking bewildered.

“Hmm?” Pang Huanyin furrowed her brows as a premonition formed in her heart. [Did Lin Xun run away because he had detected danger? Why is there no noise at all?]

She was more puzzled by the reaction of the two guests. Presently, they were looking in a particular direction. Their pride, which was hardly concealed even when they were in front of her, the Palace Master, was gone for good.

Pang Huanyin could even feel that they were somewhat anxious. [What are they looking at?]

She looked in the same direction and saw the twins, Fengyun Qianli and Fengyun Wanli, coming over. When they reached her, they cupped their fists respectfully. “Greetings, Palace Master!”

Pang Huanyin nodded. Knowing that they were responsible for keeping an eye on Lin Xun’s Grave, she asked, “Where’s Lin Xun?”

Fengyun Qianli replied, “Lin Xun is dead!”

Pang Huanyin arched her brow in surprise. “Who killed him?”

Lin Xun was only slightly weaker than the Corpse Marshals. In the entire Peerless Continent, besides Purple Star Palace, only the other two Hidden Realms had the power to destroy him. However, were those from the two Hidden Realms brave enough to fight Lin Xun? Did any accident happen that forced them to deal with Lin Xun?

“He was killed by Lu Yi Ye, the one over there!” Fengyun Qianli turned around and pointed in Lu Ye’s direction.

Only then did Pang Huanyin discover the battlefield left behind from the day before. She scanned her surroundings and saw many charred, broken corpses. There was a head with eyes still open and a rotten body. He was none other than Lin Xun.

The expression on his face showed that he had seen something horrifying before his death. Corpse Race members were undead, so they feared nothing. What could possibly terrify him in this world?

Behind Pang Huanyin, the elderly man asked, “Are you saying that the two of them killed Lin Xun?”

That was inconceivable. Although those from Purple Star Palace had decided to deal with Lin Xun, they had to deploy all of their most powerful cultivators. After all, Lin Xun was a rotten Corpse Race member with many corpses under him. This goal couldn’t be achieved with only a small number of people.

Fengyun Qianli shook his head. “Elder Xiao, Lu Yi Ye was the only one who killed Lin Xun.”

Although this elderly man was experienced, he couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing that. He scrutinised Fengyun Qianli, trying to figure out if the latter was pulling his leg.

It was beyond his wildest imagination that anyone could kill Lin Xun on his own.

Moreover, the traces on the battlefield showed that Lu Ye did not only kill Lin Xun, but he also destroyed his corpses. It seemed that he had activated an incredible Fire-Attribute Spell.

“Who are they?” Elder Xiao asked in shock.

Fengyun Qianli then told him what he knew about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji.

Pang Huanyin was surprised upon hearing that. She subconsciously turned to look at Lu Qing and Feng Rulie as she had heard a similar tale before.

Although these four people were not from any Hidden Realm, they were immensely powerful. They indeed shared many similarities.

“Palace Master, do you think the four of them…” Elder Xiao had a doubt in his mind.

Pang Huanyun slightly raised her hand. “I guess so.”

She squinted her eyes and scrutinised the four of them. That said, she paid most of her attention to Lu Ye, for she had realised something, considering how Lu Qing and Feng Rulie suddenly became cautious.

Although Lu Ye seemed surprised to see Lu Qing and Feng Rulie coming out of Purple Star Palace, he wasn’t shocked.

The Heavens in Jiu Zhou had sent nine people to this palace. Apart from Ying Wuji, Lu Ye hadn’t seen anyone else so far.

All nine people, except for Hua Ci, were incredibly powerful. There was no doubt they would kick up a storm in this broken world.

Those from Purple Star Palace were hospitable to people who dared contend with the Corpse Race, and they had many people in the outside world. Therefore, as long as they discovered cultivators from Jiu Zhou, both parties would certainly get along well.

That was how Lu Ye and Ying Wuji came into contact with the Fengyun Brothers.

As such, Lu Ye speculated that some of the people from Jiu Zhou might’ve entered Purple Star Palace before them.

He was disappointed that they were Lu Qing and Feng Rulie instead of Hua Ci and Ju Jia.

As their eyes met, Lu Qing and Feng Rulie appeared embarrassed. They had stormed out of the Hidden Realm to show everyone how powerful they were. Much to their surprise, their target was dead, and Lu Ye was right in front of them.

Even when they were faced with Pang Huanyin, the Palace Master, they were still calm and collected, but now, they appeared nervous in Lu Ye’s presence.

At that moment, the atmosphere was awkward.

It was Ying Wuji who broke the silence. Standing beside Lu Ye, he guffawed and said to Lu Qing, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Fourth Senior Brother!”

[Fourth Senior Brother?] Lu Qing’s face twitched.

Ying Wuji then shifted his attention to Feng Rulie. “You’re here as well, Sixth Senior Brother. How wonderful!”

Feng Rulie was speechless, but he couldn’t expose him. As such, he only grunted in response.

They were intelligent, so they soon realised that Ying Wuji had decided on their seniority based on the rankings of the Fight for Supremacy.

Lu Qing was ranked fourth, so he was the Fourth Senior Brother. On the other hand, Feng Rulie was ranked sixth, so he was the Sixth Senior Brother.

According to the rankings, Lu Ye would be the Eldest Senior Brother.

While they were in their thoughts, Lu Ye suddenly took a step forward and looked impassively at them without a word.

In an instant, Lu Qing and Feng Rulie felt discomfited.

Pang Huanyin looked momentarily at Lu Qing and Feng Rulie before shifting her attention to Lu Ye and Ying Wuji. She felt that the four of them, despite coming from the same Sect, were not on good terms.

Lu Qing and Feng Rulie were proud, but they were cautious in front of Lu Ye. Considering the fact that Lu Ye could kill Lin Xun on his own, how powerful must he be?

“Are you mute or something?” Lu Ye demanded.

Ying Wuji’s forehead was covered in sweat. He had only intended to ease the tension by coming up with the seniority based on the rankings of the Fight for Supremacy, but now, he realised he had caused some trouble.

Lu Ye seemed intent on forcing the two of them to call him Eldest Senior Brother. Ying Wuji would likely pay the price for what he had just done.

In this awkward situation, Lu Qing suddenly seemed to have figured out something. Relieved, he cupped his fists and said, “Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!”

He couldn’t get into a conflict with Lu Ye as the latter was powerful. Furthermore, Lu Ye was probably the only one who knew why the Heavens had sent them to this place.

As such, he couldn’t fall out with Lu Ye, and he wouldn’t lose an ounce of flesh by calling him Eldest Senior Brother anyway.

Feng Rulie’s eyelids twitched. Despite his reluctance, he saluted Lu Ye as well. “Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.”

He then glowered at Ying Wuji, who was behind Lu Ye, and he secretly cursed at him. [Bootlicker! Traitor!]

Ying Wuji understood the meaning behind his gaze, so he felt aggrieved.

When people from the same Sect reunited, they were usually joyful, but these people seemed awkward and embarrassed.

The Fengyun Brothers were dumbfounded. Lu Ye told them that they came from a base. After their Honoured Master passed away, he and Ying Wuji left the place. However, he didn’t tell them that he had two more Junior Brothers.

According to the seniority, there were supposed to be six people at the very least. Were they all so powerful?

Amid the strange atmosphere, Pang Huangyin stepped forward and glanced at Lu Ye. “Cultivator Lu, you’ve destroyed Lin Xun, who was a menace to all the Humans. It’s good news for all of us. Since you’re the Eldest Senior Brother to Cultivator Lu and Cultivator Feng, you’re not an Outsider. Please come into our Hidden Realm and let us welcome you.”

Certainly, Lu Ye wouldn’t object to it. “I’m sorry for troubling you, then.”
