508: Dong Xuanji's son

"Yang'er, is something wrong?"

Seeing that Dong Chenyang had not left, Dong Xuanji asked.

"Mother, we absolutely cannot let Yang Lingchen live." Dong Chenyang's tone was extremely solemn.

"Are you trying to use your mother's hand to get rid of him just because he beat you up?" Dong Xuanji said.

"Of course not." Dong Chenyang replied respectfully.

"Tell me your reasons! Why do you want to get rid of him?" A rare loving smile appeared on Dong Xuanji's face.

"Mother, Yang Lingchen possesses extraordinary talent, and his ability to challenge those of higher Realms is terrifying.

"Most importantly, he appears to be less than a hundred years old. With his arrogant personality, if we don't eliminate him now, once he grows stronger in the future, he might very well overturn the rule of our Four Great Super Factions."

Dong Chenyang spoke of all his worries one by one.

"Stop pretending in front of your mother. I raised you myself. Do you think your mother wouldn't know what schemes you're hiding in your heart?"

The smile on Dong Xuanji's face instantly vanished. "If you want revenge, then Cultivate diligently and get it yourself. Stop relying on such crooked ideas."

"Yes, your child knows his mistake." Dong Chenyang quickly lowered his head and admitted his error.

"You may leave!" Dong Xuanji waved her hand.

"Yes, Mother." Dong Chenyang respectfully replied, then retreated... Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day the Ranking Battle began.

On this day, the Wentian Palace group gathered outside the Wentian Courtyard.

"Today is the day the Ranking Battle begins. You are all the future hope of Wentian Palace. Once you step onto the battle stage, you must be careful. If you encounter an unbeatable opponent, you must admit defeat immediately. Do not try to be brave, because your lives are more important than anything else."

Chen Daotian earnestly instructed them.

"Senior, rest assured, our Wentian Palace will definitely achieve a good ranking this time." Yang Lingchen said seriously. He was determined to win the championship of this Ranking Battle.

"It's good to have confidence. Let's go."

Under Chen Daotian's lead, the Wentian Palace group headed out of East Emperor City.

The venue for this Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle was set on the plains outside East Emperor City.

This area was vast, making it an ideal battleground.

After all, Cultivators at this Realm, when truly fighting, could cause devastating damage to surrounding buildings if they didn't have ample space to unleash their power.

Leaving East Emperor City, the group quickly arrived at the Ranking Battle venue.

In the center of the plain was the battlefield for the Ranking Battle, surrounded by observation stands that had been erected in advance.

The Wentian Palace group found a spot on the edge of the stands and sat down.

Just then, Yang Lingchen felt a cold Killing Intent sweep over him.

Yang Lingchen turned his head and instantly spotted Palace Master Hua Canghai not far away, thinking to himself: "Old schemer, you better not provoke me, or I'll make sure you die without a burial place."

Although his current strength was no match for Palace Master Hua Canghai, with the assistance of Nie Xiaoyu and the Yin Soldiers within the yellow springs diagram, killing Palace Master Hua Canghai would be an easy task.

At the same time, Yang Lingchen also noticed several hostile gazes directed at him: Ye Juehen from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, Gongsun Zang from Heartless Valley, Tai Langpu from Tiandu Hall, and Dong Chenyang from the Eastern Emperor Pavilion.

Even Saint Baili Canglong of Yunhai Sect and Saint Shangguan Yuntian of the Longevity Cult looked at Yang Lingchen with a hint of malice.

"Sigh! Am I really that outstanding? Why do I attract jealousy wherever I go?" Yang Lingchen shook his head helplessly.

"You're too narcissistic!" Su Yuyan rolled her eyes at Yang Lingchen in exasperation.

"Sister Yuyan, even an excellent woman like you has fallen for me, so am I not excellent enough?" Yang Lingchen smiled slightly.

"Why didn't I notice you were so narcissistic before?" Su Yuyan said crossly.

"Be precise, this isn't narcissism, it's confidence."

Yang Lingchen laughed heartily.

He didn't take others' hostility to heart. With the speed of his cultivation improvement, he believed it wouldn't be long before he became the strongest Cultivator in the Eastern Continent.

By then, the entire Eastern Continent would bow at his feet.

Therefore, Yang Lingchen didn't care about the hostility of these ants.

Because their thoughts and talents were simply not on the same dimension.

As time passed, people from the Ten Great Factions gradually arrived at the venue.

At this moment, the area was packed with people, bustling with activity. Besides the Ten Great Factions participating, there were also many Cultivators from various places who came to watch the excitement.

As a top event for the younger generation of the Eastern Continent, the Ten Great Factions Ranking Battle always attracted countless young people to watch.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a black robe with a profound aura appeared on the high platform.

This person was Mu Lanling, the Third Elder of the Eastern Emperor Pavilion, and also the host of this Ranking Battle.

"This Ranking Battle will be divided into two rounds: the first round is a free-for-all, and the second round is a ranking mode."

"Now, I will explain the rules for the first round's free-for-all mode."

"Within the plain battlefield, fifty Assessment Crystals are hidden. Anyone who obtains an Assessment Crystal will qualify for the top fifty."

"The assessment time is one hour. During this hour, you can freely snatch Assessment Crystals from others. However, there's one thing you must remember: Assessment Crystals are forbidden from being stored in spatial items, or your qualification will be revoked."

"The assessment now begins."

As Mu Lanling's voice fell, the contestants from the Ten Great Factions flew into the plain battlefield one by one.

"Follow me. If you obtain an Assessment Crystal, I can ensure it won't be snatched away from you."

Yang Lingchen turned to look at Su Yuyan, Pang Dun, Liu Neng, and Zhang Kunpeng.

"Great, with Senior Brother Yang watching over us, I'm relieved." Liu Neng said excitedly. They were a hundred percent confident in Yang Lingchen's strength.

Subsequently, the Wentian Palace group also flew into the plain battlefield.

After entering the plain battlefield, Yang Lingchen was not in a hurry to find Assessment Crystals.

"Lingchen, why aren't you looking for them?" Su Yuyan asked anxiously.

"What's the rush? I'll take you to snatch them later." Yang Lingchen smiled calmly.

"You said it! Then I won't look for them."

Su Yuyan smiled sweetly and gently hooked her arm through Yang Lingchen's.

The golden boy and jade girl thus strolled across the plain battlefield.

Half an hour passed in a flash.

"Lingchen, save me."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

Snow Heartless was seen holding an Assessment Crystal, quickly rushing towards Yang Lingchen.

Behind her were several people from the Four Great Super Factions.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen's figure flickered, instantly shielding Snow Heartless behind him.

"Yang Lingchen, move aside, or don't blame us for being impolite." A Heartless Valley Genius said coldly.

"Courting death."

A fierce glint instantly flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He suddenly waved his right hand, and a white light shot out.

"Smack!"

With a crisp smack, the Heartless Valley Genius was directly sent flying. In mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted before even hitting the ground.

"If anyone dares to snatch Snow Heartless's Assessment Crystal, I'll annihilate them." Yang Lingchen's tone was utterly domineering.

The other Heartless Valley Geniuses, seeing this, were too scared to approach Yang Lingchen again, as no one wanted to be knocked unconscious.

"Heartless, are you alright?" Yang Lingchen asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you, Lingchen." Snow Heartless said weakly.

"No hug for me?"

Yang Lingchen smiled slightly and opened his arms.

"This...!"

Snow Heartless glanced at Su Yuyan behind Yang Lingchen.

"Why are you looking at me? If you want to hug him, then hug him. What do you think your relationship is? Do you think I can't tell?"

Su Yuyan consciously turned her head away.
