#967 - Chapter 967: Looking for the Predestined One

Ye Kong's small hand emerged, and Crimson Sky appeared beneath his feet. Ye Kong directly ascended into the air, urging his spiritual power to fly on his sword.

"咻 ~"

Crimson Sky rapidly streaked across the sky.

A disciple sweeping the mountain gate saw Ye Kong fly past in the air.

"Hey, Senior Brother, what do you think Master is going out for again?" Ye Hongxue asked Chen Haoran, who was beside her.

"Hey, what do you care what Master is doing? Sweep quickly! We still have to clean Peach Mountain later!" Chen Haoran reminded her.

Ye Hongxue immediately lowered her head and continued sweeping.

Ye Kong rode Crimson Sky, riding the wind among the clouds.

Ye Kong spread his hands, flying alongside the birds, enjoying the gentle breeze on his face.

"System, where to go?" Ye Kong had been circling in the sky for a long time without seeing anyone who attracted him, and helplessly could only ask the system for the location of a disciple to take in.

"Ding~ Above Mao time."

"Above Mao time?" Ye Kong repeated the answer, pondering for a moment.

Ye Kong suddenly understood!

"Mao time is when the sun rises in the east, so it's the east! The end of the east is the land of Holy Continent!"

Ye Kong immediately increased Crimson Sky's speed, flying on his sword, breaking through the mortal world, and heading towards Holy Continent.

Two days later…

Holy Continent, Holy Light Continent.

Ye Kong arrived outside Holy Light Continent, found a deserted place, and landed there.

Ye Kong entered Holy Light Continent, and what he saw was a bustling market, with households crowded together.

Ye Kong wasn't here to play. He looked left and right, but none of the passing children caught his eye.

"Hey! Such a big place, I don't know if I can find one." Ye Kong instantly began to doubt the system's direction.

"Quick, quick, let's go!" The passersby around Ye Kong suddenly ran in one direction.

Curious, Ye Kong followed the crowd, wanting to see what was happening.

"Brother, what is this arena for?" Ye Kong asked, pointing to the arena.

"Oh, little brother, the Ancestor of the Star Gazing Pavilion is marrying off his granddaughter through a martial arts contest."

"So the way to recruit a spouse is to compete in martial strength, and the winner marries her?" Ye Kong asked again.

"Little brother, although this is a martial arts contest to recruit a spouse, only cultivators can participate. People like us, mere martial artists, don't even have the qualifications to go on stage."

The strong man sized up Ye Kong. Seeing Ye Kong's refined appearance, he assumed Ye Kong was just a scholar here to watch the show.

Ye Kong ignored the strong man's gaze, only looking among the crowd to see if there was anyone suitable to be his disciple.

"Hey, brother, let me tell you, do you know how beautiful the Star Gazing Pavilion Ancestor's granddaughter is~" The strong man was already fantasizing in his mind.

Ye Kong ignored the strong man's words, still searching in the crowd.

"The Star Gazing Pavilion Ancestor's granddaughter is called Xing Yueyao, and her appearance can be considered the number one beauty in Holy Continent~ I was fortunate enough to only catch a glimpse of that Xing Yueyao before. That face, skin like congealed fat, white teeth and red lips, it can be said that this person should be a celestial being. Tsk tsk tsk!"

The strong man was reminiscing about the side of Xing Yueyao that made his heart flutter.

Ye Kong glanced at the strong man. As a fellow man, Ye Kong knew very well what the strong man was thinking.

"咚 ~ 咚!"

The drum on the arena sounded.

A group of people appeared on the second floor of the teahouse next to the arena.

Leading them was a man wearing a black cloak. The man's face was covered by the cloak, full of mystery.

Standing next to the cloaked man was a woman wearing a white veil, equally mysterious, but the woman was dignified and courteous, and at first glance, she was from a noble family.

Around the woman were guards wearing uniform attire.

"Hey!! Look quickly, the Ancestor and Miss Xing are out."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the second floor of the teahouse, only Ye Kong was still looking around in the crowd.

The black-cloaked man raised his right hand, and the crowd downstairs immediately closed their mouths and remained silent.

"Everyone, today, I, the old man, am holding a martial arts contest to recruit a spouse. I want to find someone worthy to entrust my granddaughter to. If anyone here can stand out, my Star Gazing Pavilion will definitely treat them with generous gifts."

As soon as the man's words came out, the crowd under the arena was already boiling, and everyone couldn't wait to go on stage.

The drum on the stage was struck again, indicating the start of the contest!

"I'll go first!" A deep voice sounded.

A burly man jumped up and landed on the left side of the arena. He held a pair of hammers, his body was huge, and his arms alone were twice the size of ordinary people, but his facial features were not very pleasing to the eye.

"I'll fight you!" A clear voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a man in a fluttering blue robe leap onto the stage, standing on the right side of the arena.

"Hoo hoo hoo ~" Loud jeers rang out from under the stage.

Ye Kong searched in the crowd for a long time and couldn't find anyone he liked, so he simply turned his head and looked to see if there was anyone on the arena suitable to be his disciple.

The man in the blue robe and the burly man fought back and forth for several rounds, and the shouts from the stage were still unabated.

Ye Kong could see that the man in the blue robe was in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and the burly man was also at the same cultivation level, but in terms of body size, it was not difficult to see that the man in the blue robe was slightly at a disadvantage.

The burly man raised his two large iron hammers and smashed them fiercely towards the man in the blue robe. The man in the blue robe dodged by sliding under the burly man's crotch.

"Bang!" The large iron hammer struck the ground, and cracks immediately appeared in the area where it hit.

The man in the blue robe urged his spiritual power, struck the ground with one hand, quickly jumped up, spread his legs, and fiercely clamped the burly man's neck.

Ye Kong smiled slightly. This man in the blue robe was quite clever, knowing that a large person could not touch the back of their head.

The burly man spun around in place, unable to launch an attack on the man in the blue robe.

The man in the blue robe urged his spiritual power, and green light emitted from his hands, directly striking the burly man's temples on both sides of his head.

The burly man's face was ferocious, feeling a layer of green covering his eyes, seeing everything around him as green.

The burly man shook his head violently, slowly condensing spiritual power in his hands, and directly struck his chest with a palm.

The crowd under the stage exclaimed in surprise ~ not understanding why the burly man injured himself.

But Ye Kong could see that the man in the blue robe used his spiritual power to bewitch the eyes and confuse the mind, achieving the effect of being able to briefly control the mind.

It's just that…

For those who are not skilled in using this technique, the person being controlled will break through the control.

And the burly man on the stage suddenly regained consciousness and quickly spun around.

The man in the blue robe suddenly lost his balance and fell from the burly man's neck.

As the burly man's hand flashed with spiritual light, the large iron hammer on the side immediately flew back into the burly man's hand.

Before the man in the blue robe could stand firmly, the burly man directly swung the large iron hammer at the man in the blue robe.

As soon as the man in the blue robe looked up, a gust of wind rushed towards him.
