The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 517: Bai Suyi, Once Again

"Let me show you the Phoenix Cry of Nine Heavens taught by Teacher You Ruo!"

Shen Huamo shouted coquettishly, and then an Ancient Divine Phoenix emerged behind her.

Ye Qingtian glanced at her casually, even though her Phoenix Cry of Nine Heavens was powerful, Ye Qingtian was not surprised.

Over the years, he had encountered one strong master after another; what else could shock him?

Ten minutes later, Shen Huamo walked out of Ye Qingtian’s room.

Seeing Shen Huamo come out, Chu Nan hurried forward to inquire, "Huamo, who won?"

Shen Huamo smiled sadly, "I, Shen Huamo, willingly become his servant for life, never regretting it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan was slightly stunned.

What on earth happened in the room?

How could it cause such a profound change in Shen Huamo!

Just now, Chu Nan was focusing intently on the room, but he didn’t notice anything unusual.

Not even a sound of conflict.

"Chu Nan, was I really foolish before?" Shen Huamo suddenly asked.

Chu Nan shook his head, "Huamo, as the foremost beauty of Tianjing, you have every reason to be proud. Wanting to control your fate isn’t unreasonable."

Shen Huamo smiled sadly, "Both Jianting and I thought we could defeat him, but..."

She was unwilling to continue, sighed, and walked out of the courtyard.

The next day, the Divine Artifact Conference officially began.

Yet, the incredibly popular Xiao Jianting returned to Celestial Martial Academy, leaving people somewhat disappointed.

Missing the performance of this genius left everyone feeling a bit down.

"That Xiao Jianting truly disregards authority, returning to Celestial Martial Academy without even notifying me," Lin Futu snorted coldly.

At this moment, the Sect Leader of the Tang Family, Tang Nutian, stepped onto the high stage and spoke slowly, "Talented individuals, I won’t say much. Today, whoever can draw this Celestial Divine Artifact will become its master!"

"To ensure fairness, friends from the Mortal World have priority, starting in order of registration."

First up was a nameless figure from the Mortal World.

Predictably, he did not succeed.

The second was Qin Yunlei of the Qin Family.

He also did not succeed.

Next, Bai Suyi tried, but did not succeed.

At this moment, Bai Suyi was somewhat lost in thought.

"Such a grand event by the Hidden Sect; is he not coming?"

Bai Suyi looked towards the crowd, amidst a sea of people, yet that person was nowhere in sight.

Bit by bit, disappointment appeared on her pretty face.

Ever since Ye Qingtian left Jin City, she inquired about him daily.

She recalled their first meeting at Longquan Hunting Ground, where he made countless trees wither with a cigarette butt. Later, she discovered he was the Ye Family’s abandoned child.

Afterward, Qin Lingyue looked down on him, but Bai Suyi helped Ye Qingtian put her in her place.

"They said someone from the Hidden Sect killed you, but I know you aren’t dead."

"But where are you now? I am no longer the Bai Family’s miss; will you despise me?"

A bitter expression spread across Bai Suyi’s face.

Famed across Tianjing, re-established Ye Family’s dominance, the name Ye Xiaoyao echoed throughout the Mortal World, even in Ice Country and Hai City, his accomplishments were celebrated.

Somehow, everything seemed possible for him.

At that moment, she noticed a familiar figure standing in the crowd.

Upon seeing the figure, Bai Suyi’s delicate body trembled greatly!

"Could it be... him!"

Bai Suyi opened her small mouth wide, jumped down from the high platform, and frantically squeezed into the crowd.

She searched tirelessly within the crowd but did not find him.

"I must have been too eager to see him."

Lost in thought, Bai Suyi showed an expression of disappointment.

Just then, a faint voice echoed, "Long time no see."

Those words, "long time no see," made Bai Suyi’s body tremble fiercely.

She looked up suddenly and saw a familiar face.

His eyes were profound and dark as ink, mysterious and deep.

Brimming with arrogance, yet tinged with a bit of swagger.

His subtly raised corners of the mouth seemed to possess some sort of magic.

He appeared like an Immortal descending the Mortal World, elusive yet full of charm.

"Is it you?" Bai Suyi’s lips trembled with excitement.

"It is I," Ye Qingtian replied indifferently.

Bai Suyi found that Ye Qingtian was still in the same form, but his aura had undergone a profound change.

If he was just an ordinary person before, now he resembled a King ruling over the realm.

Even amidst a vast sea of people, he could shine brightly!

Ye Qingtian nodded, "Suyi, I heard there’s been upheaval in the Bai Family."

Looking at Ye Qingtian, hearing that long-missed voice, Bai Suyi’s heart raced, biting her red lips, unable to meet Ye Qingtian’s gaze.

"After you left Jin City, the Hou and Qin Families rose successively."

"Later, Qin Lingtian was killed by a mysterious figure, now in Jin City, the Hou Family dominates alone."

Some sad past surged in her heart again, Bai Suyi bit her red lips and continued, "Because Hou Tianlei had a feud with you in school, he knew about your close ties with Bai Family, so after you left Jin City, he had it out for Bai Family deliberately."

"Not only did he inherit secrets from a mysterious sect in the Hidden Sect, but their family also has a master settled in."

"That master slaughtered over a hundred people in the Bai Family, forcing my grandfather to agree to Hou Tianlei, making the Bai Family servants to the Hou Family for generations!"

At these words, Bai Suyi’s face flashed with sadness.

Once Jin City’s foremost family, now reduced to servitude, no one could feel good about such an outcome.

Bai Suyi was naturally no exception.

"I won’t dwell on that; could you... possibly treat me to a meal later? To tell you the truth, I haven’t had a full meal in a long time."

Bai Suyi was very reluctant to recall tragic pasts, but reality forced her to.

"Sure, would you like to have dog meat? I have a dog here, very plump," Ye Qingtian pointed to Da Huang.

Da Huang rolled his eyes, "Master, could you give me some face in front of the beautiful woman?"

Hearing Da Huang speak human words, Bai Suyi was slightly startled, then laughed beautifully like flowers.

She understood, this was Ye Qingtian’s deliberate attempt to lift her from sadness.

"Thank you, Qingtian," Bai Suyi sincerely expressed her gratitude.

By now, over a hundred Mortal World individuals had tried to conquer the Divine Artifact, none succeeded.

Subsequently, Tang Nutian took to the high platform again.

"Regrettably, the friends from the Mortal World all failed. Now it’s the Hidden Sect’s talents’ turn."

With that said, Ren Shaoqing was the first to take the stage.

"Ren Shaoqing, a disciple from Poison Sect, here to conquer the Celestial Divine Artifact."

Predictably, he failed.

Ren Shaoqing shook his head and descended from the platform.

Several others went up after him, including the four Guardians of Poison Sect and Bing Yu, Black Demon’s disciple.

Regrettably, they also failed.

"Look quickly, Master Jie Kong, possessor of the Ten Directions Buddha Blade, is going up to conquer the Divine Artifact!"

Someone shouted as a large monk in a cassock emerged from the crowd.

This person was none other than the talented monk from Celestial Zen Temple, Jie Kong!
