Chapter 4074 - The Arrival of Emperors of Gods; A Storm Is Brewing!

This time, all of the Seven Mansions had at least one participant in the top ten rankings of the Seven Mansions Feast. The Eastern Ridge Mansion had the highest number of participants in the top ten; there were three people from the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the top ten. Following that was the Green Province Mansion with two participants in the top ten. As for the other Mansions, they each had one participant in the top ten.

After the final ranking was announced, many people began to discuss among themselves again. Quite a number of them looked at the people from Divine Morning Mansion and the Underworld Mansion and sighed.

"The respective top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion and the Underworld Mansion pooled their resources to cultivate a young prodigy each. There's no doubt they expected the young prodigies they cultivated to rank in the top three. In the end, they only obtained two slots each to enter the Secret Holy Realm. I wonder if they considered this a failure or a success?"

"I think they must consider it a success. If I'm not mistaken, no one from the Divine Morning Mansion and the Underworld Mansion ranked in the top ten during the previous Seven Mansions Feast."

"I agree. I think it's considered a success."

At this time, although the intermediate Emperors of Gods from the various top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion and the Underworld Mansion did not look particularly happy, many of the members were smiling. Although the outcome was worse than what they had expected, it was not a complete failure. They failed to obtain three slots each, but they still managed to obtain two. The only problem was to figure out which force would get the slot since there were three forces in each Mansion, and they only had two slots each. Nonetheless, having two slots was better than none.

Soon enough, the topic changed again.

"The Eastern Ridge Mansion's performance this time is outstanding! They have three people in the top ten. The Pure Yang Sect is the most remarkable. They have two participants in the top ten, and out of the two, one of them is the champion of the Seven Mansions Feast!"

"In the history of the Seven Mansions Feast, there were many instances where there were two participants from the same force ranking in the top ten. However, I don't think there's a precedent of two intermediate Lords of Gods from the same force ranking in the top ten at the same time."

"If you didn't mention this, I'd have forgotten that Duan Ling Tian and Yang Qian Ye are only intermediate Lords of Gods."

"Don't forget Ximen from the Green Province Mansion's Marionette Villa. He's also an intermediate Lord of Gods."

"This time, there are three intermediate Lords of Gods in the top ten rankings. If I'm not mistaken, during the previous Seven Mansions Feast, no intermediate Lord of Gods ranked in the top ten. Are the current advanced Lords of Gods in the Seven Mansions too weak or have the intermediate Lords of Gods gotten stronger?"

"I think it's the intermediate Lords of Gods in the Seven Mansions who have gotten stronger. Well, at least, that's the case for those three. No one can doubt their strength at all. Yang Qian Ye and Ximen are almost as strong as the strongest advanced Lord of Gods. There's no need to talk about how strong Duan Ling Tian…"

"It's the era of great talents!"

This time, Duan Ling Tian undoubtedly stole the limelight. Previously, before Duan Ling Tian and Wang Xiong's fight, Wang Xiong was at the center of attention. However, everyone's attention had shifted away from Wang Xiong and was now focused on Duan Ling Tian. This was only natural since winners would garner the most attention.

Yang Qian Ye and Ximen, who were ranked at the bottom of the top ten, also attracted the attention of quite a few people. After all, it was rare for intermediate Lords of Gods to be able to rank in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Feast. As such, they received even more attention than Tuo Ba Xiu and Luo Yuan.

No one was impressed that Tuo Ba Xiu and Luo Yuan had ranked in the top ten. After all, they both received the resources from all the top forces in their respective Mansions. As such, their performance was lukewarm at best compared to Yang Qian Ye and Ximen Long Xiang.

After the announcement of the final ranking of the Seven Mansions Feast, many Emperors of Gods from the various top forces in the Seven Mansions congratulated Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu. Although they had already congratulated the duo yesterday, it did not stop them from congratulating the duo again today.

In the midst of many congratulatory messages, Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu also received messages from many people inquiring if the Pure Yang Sect planned to auction off a slot to enter the Secret Holy Realm.

The Pure Yang Sect obtained six slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm this time. It was truly more than enough for the sect. Even Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu thought so. However, the duo did not agree nor disagree; they only responded by saying that the matter would be decided by the decision-makers in the sect.

At this time, someone said to Ye Chen Feng through Voice Transmission, "Elder Ye, Elder Liu might not be able to make a decision, but it's different for you, right? With your strength, is there anyone in the Pure Yang Sect who would disagree with you?"

Ye Chen Feng's strength was not a secret. Although he was still an intermediate Emperor of Gods, there were a few people who treated him like an advanced Emperor of Gods. After all, despite being an intermediate Emperor of Gods, he had the combat power of an advanced Emperor of Gods.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also received congratulatory messages of his own. To be precise, he received three congratulatory messages.

He was not very surprised by the sender of the first two messages, who were Wang Xiong from the Feudal Lord Mansion's Frozen Mountain Manor and Ximen Long Xiang from the Green Province Mansion's Marionette Villa.

However, he was rather surprised by the sender of the first congratulatory message. It was none other than Tuo Ba Xiu, the young prodigy from the Underworld Mansion's Yuwen clan. Her voice was pleasant and friendly when she congratulated him.

Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with Tuo Ba Xiu at all so he only responded politely with a 'thank you'.

However, after a moment, he suddenly added, "While I was on the way here earlier, I overheard our sect's Elder Ye say that a few Emperors of Gods have arrived in the vicinity of this place. These Emperors of Gods aren't those who are present here. I'm not sure if they're from the Underworld Mansion or the Primal Flame Sect in the Feudal Lord Mansion."

Since Tuo Ba Xiu took the initiative to congratulate him, Duan Ling Tian decided on a whim to tell her about what he had heard. If Tuo Ba Xiu did not send him a message, he would not have said anything. To put it bluntly, even if those Emperors of Gods came for Tuo Ba Xiu, they had nothing to do with him.

Tuo Ba Xiu's voice was much gentler this time as she replied, "Thank you for your reminder. There are many people around me so I'll be fine. You don't have to worry."

Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless when he heard Tuo Ba Xiu's reply.

'When was I worried? I only told you about that on a whim…'

After realizing that Tuo Ba Xiu seemed to have misunderstood him, Duan Ling Tian no longer said anything to her. He was worried if he spoke again, she would misunderstand him again and put meaning into his words when there was none. At that time, it would be awkward.

…

The Seven Mansions Feast was finally over.

Duan Ling Tian and the other participants in the top 100 also received their personal rewards. As for the slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm, it had nothing to do with them at all since they would go to the forces they represented. To put it bluntly, they were just like pawns of their respective forces to compete for a chance to enter the Secret Holy Realm. After all, the main reason for the existence of the Seven Mansions Feast was to decide who would be able to enter the Secret Holy Realm.

As soon as the Seven Mansions Feast officially ended, Liu Feng Gu said to Duan Ling Tian and the other young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect, "We're leaving today. Pack your things. We'll set off in half an hour."

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. He was under the impression that they would be leaving for the Eastern Ridge Mansion and the Pure Yang Sect tomorrow.

The others were like Duan Ling Tian as well. All of them thought they would be leaving tomorrow. Liu Feng Gu had told them that they would leave the day after the Seven Mansions Feast officially ended.

Liu Feng Gu seemed to be able to see the question written on everyone's faces so he explained, "It's still very early. There's more than an hour before noon. There's no point in staying any longer. Moreover…" He paused to look at the sky before he continued to say, "I'm afraid a storm is coming. It'll be fine for the elders, but it might not be so for all of you…"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Ping Fan suddenly said, "Junior Uncle Liu, we can just tell them the truth." Then, he looked at the young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect before he said, "The Emperors of Gods from the Feudal Lord Mansion's Primal Flame Sect are here. They also came with external help. They don't intend to let Tuo Ba Xiu leave this place alive. Many powerhouses from the Underworld Mansion have arrived as well. After all the forces that have nothing to do with this matter leave, war may break out here. In order to ensure all of you remain unaffected by this, we decide to leave ahead of time. There's no need for us to get involved in this matter."

Zhen Ping Fan was very frank when he spoke.

After Zhen Ping Fan spoke, there were a few people who suggested that they stay to watch the show. Upon hearing the suggestion, quite a number of people felt moved.

Zhen Ping Fan shook his head. "It's easy to be bold when you're ignorant. Do you know what will happen when Emperors of Gods fight with all their might with no regard for their lives? At that time, the elders might not be able to protect all of you." Then, he said with a hint of reproach, "Alright, behave yourself. Pack your things and gather."

Zhen Ping Fan felt slightly speechless at how fearless the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect were. It seemed like they thought a life-or-death battle between Emperors of Gods was child's play. A battle like that would raze the entire place to the ground.

'A battle between Emperors of Gods…' In fact, Duan Ling Tian, like the others, also wanted to stay and watch the show. However, he knew it was a bad idea. In the end, he consoled himself inwardly, 'It's better to return as soon as we can. The Supreme Divine Mansion is waiting for me! I'll be able to watch Emperors of Gods fight sooner or later anyway. I can even go to the Realm Battlefield to watch such a battle once I get stronger.'

During the journey back to their temporary accommodation, Duan Ling Tian could not help but shake his head when he thought about the woman who wore a veil on her face. "Well, I hope you're lucky enough to survive. It's not easy for you, as a female cultivator, to reach this height…"

Duan Ling Tian and Tuo Ba Xiu originally had nothing to do with each other; they traveled on paths parallel to each other with no intersections. However, there was a slight interaction only because she congratulated him earlier. Even then, he thought that would be the only intersection they had. As such, although he hoped Tuo Ba Xiu would survive, he did not worry about her beyond that. Even if she died, he would at most sigh at how pitifully short the beautiful woman's life was.

…

Meanwhile, Wanqi Yu Ning, the Golden Seat Elder of the Wanqi clan, also led the people from the Wanqi clan away from the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast.

At the same time, Wanqi Yu Ning said to Wanqi Hong, "Two slots are better than none." Seeing that Wanqi Hong looked rather upset, he assumed Wanqi Hong was upset about being unable to rank in the top three. Hence, he added, "This time, there were too many hidden participants in the Seven Mansions Feast. It's not your fault you didn't rank in the top three. There's no need for you to overthink it."
