1304 Even Half-Step Cores Become Merely the Background



The soldier's words made these scions speechless.

In this world, strength reigned supreme. Although their families could provide them with a lot of help, what really decided everything was their own strength.

However, they could only be considered ordinary and were only in the Innate Stage. They usually looked majestic, but now, with just one sentence, they were rendered speechless.

However, they knew that An Xiuxiu and Situ Miaoyi were famous geniuses in Conglong. They had already entered the Divine Abilities Stage at such a young age. Their future was limitless.

At this moment, An Xiuxiu and Situ Miaoyi walked into the encirclement. There were many people—thousands, in fact.

Even with their family backgrounds and knowledge, they were still tongue-tied. This was because these thousands were all elites above Divine Abilities Stage.

The city lord had issued an order to keep all martial artists below the Divine Abilities Stage outside and not allow them to approach. Otherwise, a major accident with casualties was very likely to happen.

Even so, over a thousand experts above the Divine Abilities Stage had come in three days. If there was more time, say ten days, the number of people who had come might have multiplied by several times.

Even those experts who were in seclusion were alarmed by this battle. After all, a life-and-death battle between Cores was not something that ordinary people could watch. Most people would never see a Core in their lifetime, let alone see them fight to the death.

"What power! This turnout is huge!" An Xiuxiu looked at the crowd and said in surprise.

She only knew a small portion of the thousand Divines here. However, this small portion was made up of people who had great reputations in Conglong and even the entire southern Great Wei.

As for the remaining people, although she did not know them, it was not difficult to imagine that they were definitely famous peerless experts from all over Great Wei.

When Situ Miaoyi saw this scene, her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. There was some joy, some worry, and some sadness.

It was completely different from when she first met Chu Yunfan. At that time, although he appeared calm, in her eyes, they were still people from the same world.

However, Chu Yunfan was now like a divine dragon high above. Even Divines could only look up at his back.

"Are you thinking about him?" An Xiuxiu glanced at Situ Miaoyi and sighed in her heart. How could she not understand her good friend's thoughts?

Situ Miaoyi was forced to go on a blind date with Chu Yunfan. At that time, she would never have thought that this day would come.

However, she really did not think that Chu Yunfan would be a good match for Situ Miaoyi because the difference in their ranks was too great. Now the situation had flipped. It was Situ Miaoyi's turn not to be worthy of Chu Yunfan.

How could a divine dragon in the sky stop for an ant on the ground?

An Xiuxiu had received guidance from Chu Yunfan for a period, so she knew Chu Yunfan better. What kind of person was he? It was not something that ordinary people could imagine. His footsteps would definitely not be limited to the small Great Wei.

Such a person was destined to be born to pursue the Dao and would not be a good match.

Situ Miaoyi bit her lower lip and said with a sad expression, "It wasn't that long ago. How did it become like this?"

Situ Miaoyi also couldn't understand it. It had only been a few months, but Chu Yunfan had transformed so fiercely. From the half-step Core Stage to the Core Stage. It was almost a leap.

It was to the point where she couldn't even look up at his back.

However, Situ Miaoyi quickly collected her thoughts and looked forward. There were not many people by the lake. Even Divines did not dare to get too close. There were only a dozen people standing alone.

Without exception, these people all had deep cultivation.

Even among the many Divines, they were outstanding existences.

'Half-step Cores!'

Situ Miaoyi quickly made a judgment because he saw a familiar figure among the group of people. It was the city lord of Conglong.

In the past, no matter where he went, the city lord was the absolute protagonist. The focus of everyone's eyes. However, among these dozen or so people, he was lost in the crowd. He was not that outstanding at all.

It was not because he had become weaker, but because none of these people's cultivation levels were lower than his. In fact, they were even stronger than him.

Among these people, An Xiuxiu saw the few half-step Core big shots who had fought in the battle at the Marquis Zhongxin residence. Zhang Ling, Yu Xuanfei, Lady Shui Ji, and Fu Wentai. Any one of them could have caused a commotion in Conglong.

And now, these four people had come so quietly.

Suddenly, at this moment, an old man dressed in black slowly walked over and entered the group of people, standing side by side with them.

"Who is that? His cultivation is terrifying!"

"I think I've seen him before. Oh, my God. Isn't that the director of the agency?"

"That's right! That's him! He's truly powerful. He's the king of the shadows. This battle has even attracted him!"

Everyone was discussing animatedly. The black-robed old man was none other than the director of Secrets. As for the other half-step Cores, when they saw the director, many of them showed varying degrees of disgust on their faces.

Everyone knew that the agency was a lackey of the Imperial Court, and the director was the dog's head.

However, the director cared not one bit. He did not take these people to heart at all.

"I didn't expect this battle would even attract you," an old man slowly said.

It was an old man in his seventies or eighties. He was dressed in a black robe with the word "Wei" embroidered on his chest. Everyone knew that it was the symbol of the imperial family.

"This battle is a rare battle that happens only every hundred years," the director glanced at the old man and said.

However, before they could say anything more, another person arrived, which caused an uproar. Even these arrogant half-step Cores all wore solemn expressions. They didn't dare to relax like before.

"It's Elder Ku. I didn't expect him to come!"

"It's been so many years since I've seen him come out."

"This battle is really amazing!"
