166: Enter the market with strength and lock in the first place in advance

Cang Jue and the two others were thrown into the center of the square, a move that shocked the millions of Cultivators from various Sects present.

Who exactly could have made Cang Jue and the two others look so disheveled?

"Brother Cang, what happened? Who hit you!"

Among the ten thousand Tribulation Transcendence Realm Late Stage Grand Elder enforcement team of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, there were two main team leaders.

One was named Cang Jue.

One was named Ling Yu.

Both were powerhouses who had broken through the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ninth Revolution Peak Stage limit, reaching the Ascension Realm, and such powerhouses were also called Half Immortals.

Among the hundreds of Grand Elder teams in the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, they were both ranked among the top ten in martial prowess, the Ten Grand Elders of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion.

Cang Jue was ranked third.

Ling Yu was ranked seventh.

How could Ling Yu not be shocked by someone who could make Cang Jue suffer such a setback?

Who exactly was this mysterious person? To make Cang Jue so disheveled!

Before Cang Jue could reply, everyone quickly realized that something else seemed to have been thrown in, followed by twelve consecutive "bang bang bang" landing sounds, as all fifteen members of the team guarding the entrance and exit of the venue were thrown in.

The entire audience was dumbfounded, instantly falling into a deathly silence!

Damn it, who exactly was this person, to be so fierce!

Swish swish swish!!!

Soon, everyone turned to look at the entrance and exit.

A battle flag with "Eastern Continent - Eastern Wilderness - Cloud Palace Team" boldly written on it was the first to enter people's sight.

...

Seeing this scene.

Gu Yu, Mu Tianxiao, Sha Maike, and Jiang Zhahui, the four Protectors from the four State-Level Giant Cultivation Factions of the Eastern Continent, were the first to be unable to sit still.

People from the Eastern Wilderness?

Did they really come to this Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts after all!

How could they, who had been hammered by the Soul Divine Hammer, remain calm?

The Protector of that Cloud Palace Team was actually so terrifying?!

Yes, Mu Tianxiao, Jiang Zhahui, Gu Yu, and Sha Maike did not believe that the Mahayana Realm participants were the ones who beat Cang Jue and the others. It was a joke; Mahayana Realm and Tribulation Transcendence Realm were as different as heaven and earth, not to mention that Cang Jue and his companions were at the extreme of Tribulation Transcendence Realm, Ascension Realm powerhouses.

A Mahayana Realm Cultivator beating an Ascension Realm powerhouse until they were crawling on the ground, who would believe that?!

Ling Yu's face instantly darkened.

Cang Jue being beaten in front of everyone was a blow to the Central Continent Immortal Mansion's prestige. As one of the ten strongest Grand Elders of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, Ling Yu, though shocked, felt more anger!

This incident had an extremely bad impact, not to mention that he was also one of the two main leaders of the Grand Elder enforcement team for this Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts.

"I hit him, got a problem?"

As the Cloud Palace Team's banner entered the arena, Long Aotian and the others slowly came into the sight of millions of Cultivators.

"You hit him?"

Hearing Long Aotian's words, Ling Yu was also a bit confused.

How old did this kid look? He hadn't even reached the normal height for a Cultivator, so it was clear that this kid was not yet sixteen years old.

Cang Jue's strength was so terrifying, yet he fell into the hands of a child. Was this really not a joke?

"Got a problem?"

Long Aotian's expression was indifferent, as if he had only done a trivial matter. He glanced at Ling Yu and said, "My Cloud Palace Team has declared itself a State-Level Giant Cultivation Faction. They said my Cloud Palace Team was not qualified to send representatives to participate unless we could prove ourselves by defeating them! I've thrown them all into the square. This should be enough to prove ourselves, right?!"

...

"How do you prove that you threw them in?"

Ling Yu was somewhat disbelieving.

This seemed ridiculous no matter how he looked at it, and illogical no matter how he thought about it.

However, after Cang Jue and the others heard Ling Yu's words, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths fiercely, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat for Ling Yu in their hearts.

Brother Ling Yu, you're looking for death!

Sure enough.

"...Very simple!"

With that said!

The next second, Long Aotian disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, in less than a second, he was standing in front of Ling Yu. His speed was so fast that his movements could no longer be captured by the naked eye.

Immediately following this, a shocking and dumbfounding scene unfolded again. While Ling Yu was completely unprepared and unable to resist, he, just like Cang Jue and the other fifteen, was thrown into the center of the square by Long Aotian as if he were trash.

...

Silence!

Extreme silence!

The scene fell into a deathly stillness.

"Now, is the Cloud Palace Team qualified to participate in this Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts?"

After throwing Ling Yu, Long Aotian immediately locked onto the other two deputies, who were also the second-in-command of the tournament.

The first-in-command were Cang Jue and Ling Yu, two of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion's ten strongest Grand Elders.

The second-in-command were Wei Wu, Xiong Zhuang, Tie Gu, and Dan Xin.

The four were all Grand Elders of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, and all were Ascension Realm powerhouses. Their strength ranked outside the top ten of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion's Grand Elder power ranking.

Wei Wu and Xiong Zhuang were Cang Jue's deputies.

Tie Gu and Dan Xin were Ling Yu's deputies.

With Ling Yu thrown out, and Tie Gu and Dan Xin locked onto by Long Aotian's powerful Divine Sense, they both knew that if they didn't take a stance soon, they would be the next ones thrown into the center of the square.

Dan Xin was the only female among the second-in-command. She knew that if Tie Gu were to take a stance, Tie Gu, a tough guy true to his name, would definitely not give in easily, and it was likely that both of them would also be thrown out.

Furthermore.

Tie Gu definitely didn't have her delicate sensibilities. Cang Jue and Ling Yu certainly wouldn't give in easily either, especially under the gaze of millions. Giving in would be a slap to the Central Continent Immortal Mansion's face.

But what if they didn't give in?

They couldn't win in a fight!

Not giving in would only result in greater humiliation, offering their face to be slapped a few more times.

Dan Xin knew that at this moment, what Cang Jue and Ling Yu needed was a way out.

So.

Before Tie Gu could react, she hastily stated, "Yes, they are qualified! Little brother, please come this way! May I ask, little brother, what is your esteemed name?"

Dan Xin's attitude was extremely polite, and Long Aotian was indeed someone worthy of her politeness.

Facing someone who could casually throw Ascension Realm powerhouses around like trash, and not just one, but several, two of whom were their Central Continent Immortal Mansion's strongest Grand Elders.

Did she dare to show any temper?

She was probably too busy currying favor.

Moreover, from his appearance, she didn't think Long Aotian seemed like a bad child.

"Long Aotian!"

After reporting his name, Long Aotian asked, "Fairy sister, how does one sign up for the arena ranking competition of the Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts?"

"What?"

Dan Xin was a bit surprised: "Little brother, could it be that you also want to participate in the arena ranking competition?"

...

Not only Dan Xin was surprised and curious, but everyone present was surprised and curious.

It was a joke. If someone who could instantly kill an Ascension Realm powerhouse participated in the arena ranking competition, wouldn't that mean they had already secured first place?!

"Of course!"

Long Aotian was noncommittal: "I'm only at the Mahayana Realm cultivation level, so I should meet the eligibility requirements to participate, right?"

...
