The words "Supre Master Uncle," Yue Mubai forced out through gritted teeth.
Ye Lingyue was a whole cycle younger than him, with cultivation far less advanced than his. Yue Mubai had a prejudice against her and was naturally unwilling to treat her courteously. Throughout the journey, Yue Mubai avoided her as much as possible.
He thought that once he passed through the Ancient Pass, everything would be fine, but unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue found an opportunity to make a fuss.
Yue Mubai was filled with hate...
Yet, with so many disciples watching, if he did not call her "Supre Master Uncle," it would be against the rules.
Just after Yue Mubai called out, Ye Lingyue unkindly nodded her head with a full elder’s deanor and waved her hand.
"Sister Wan Yun and I will handle this, there’s nothing for you here, stand aside and wait."
Even though Yue Mubai and Hua Wanyun were of the sa generation, Ye Lingyue’s words imdiately diminished him by a notch.
Yue Mubai’s face turned extrely unsightly, as if he had stepped in dung, with a darkened expression, he retreated to one side.
The disciples of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion were stunned.
Even the elder of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion couldn’t help but wonder about Ye Lingyue’s identity, to make the always proud Yue Mubai obey.
"Who is this senior?" the elder wondered.
"Elder Shi, you may not know, this person is Lord Zitang’s direct disciple and also my Supre Master Uncle." Hua Wanyun, despite not looking feminine, was quite ticulous in her thinking.
She also noticed the conflict between Ye Lingyue and Yue i. Yue i, she disliked for her disrespectful and arrogant behavior as the sect’s first disciple, needed so discipline.
Hua Wanyun cooperated closely, quickly following Ye Lingyue’s lead.
Lord Zitang’s direct disciple?
Since when did Lord Zitang of Lonely Moon Sea accept disciples?
With Lord Zitang’s renowned na, the elder from the Ancient Battlefield listened intently.
Realizing her mistake of neglecting the "senior," she quickly stepped forward to apologize.
"So it’s the disciple of the Lord, apologies for my offense. Yue i, hurry and co apologize."
Yue i heard this, her almond-shaped eyes went wide with anger.
"Master Uncle, don’t listen to her nonsense. How could she qualify as the Lord’s disciple."
"Keep quiet." The elder, furious, slapped Yue i forcefully.
Yue i was stunned by the blow.
The disciples of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion were also shocked.
In Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, Yue i was quite overbearing. In recent years, due to Ye Liuyun’s rise, she had beco slightly restrained but was still held in high regard.
Unfortunately, Yue i encountered an elder who was more temperantal than herself.
This elder was specifically responsible for Yaochi Immortal Pavilion disciples entering the Ancient Battlefield and held a high position within the sect, higher than Elder Ying.
Even Yue i dared not be too presumptuous in front of her.
"Yue i, don’t cause trouble, do as Master Uncle says." Chen Mu urged Yue i, seeing the situation as unfavorable.
Yue i had no choice but to walk to Ye Lingyue with great grievance and said unwillingly.
"Senior Ye, this junior failed to recognize the majesty, please forgive and overlook my offense."
"Ha~ Rest assured, I am quite magnanimous and won’t fuss over small conflicts with insignificant juniors."
Ye Lingyue stifled her laughter, nodded earnestly.
Yue i was so furious she almost spat blood, stomping her foot in hatred before retreating to the side.
The confrontation was smoothly resolved.
Elders from both sects began discussing the arrangents for entering the Ancient Battlefield.
The elder called Yue i over, glanced at her still swollen cheek, and shook her head.
"Yue i, do you think I was too harsh?"
"Yue i doesn’t dare." Yue i said, but her face showed otherwise.
When had she ever been reprimanded like this, especially by soone she loathed - Ye Lingyue.
"Your temperant will need altering once you enter the Ancient Battlefield. If unchanged, you’ll suffer. I’m doing this for your own good. It’s said that even beating a dog requires regard for the owner. Do you know that without Zitang Su, the Qing Province Continent would struggle to exist on the Ancient Nine Provinces mainland? Being one of the few Super Major Sects from the Qing Province Continent, you should support one another with those from Lonely Moon Sea and Namo Mountain."
"Elder, what do you an?" Yue i and the other disciples of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion revealed expressions of surprise.
"You’ll understand once you enter the Ancient Nine Provinces. Rember, do not be arrogant in any region of the Ancient Nine Provinces. There are countless disciples and seniors from other New Nine States sects, so from Outer Heaven with great power, who can easily crush Yaochi Immortal Pavilion."
The elder’s words were shocking to the disciples of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.
Countless sects? Outer Heaven?
Had they heard wrong? Only disciples from Super Major Sects can enter the Ancient Battlefield, they originally thought, sect numbers on the New Nine Provinces Continent would be similar to Qing Province Continent, but according to the elder, other continents have far more disciples, in numbers also vastly exceeding expectations.
This made the disciples of Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, who held themselves in high regard, quite discouraged, filled with uncertainty about their impending journey to the Ancient Battlefield.
On the other side, the people from Lonely Moon Sea were listening to Hua Wanyun explain so matter of importance concerning the Ancient Nine Provinces.
"Listen, each of you will be newcors upon entering the Ancient Nine Provinces. According to the ’Jiu Provinces Alliance’ set by the Nine Provinces mainland, newcors need to enter corresponding newbie cities. There, learn survival skills, accumulate experience, which may take at least a year, with the duration unspecified. After passing tests, you will officially beco Demon Hunters. The entire Ancient Nine Provinces, excluding the Ancient Central Plains region, has nine newbie cities. These nine newbie cities are located in different regions of the Ancient Nine Provinces. You need to enter different newbie cities based on your respective cultivation and Five Elents Attribute."
Hua Wanyun advised earnestly.
Upon hearing her, the disciples were taken aback; they had assud they would all act together.
Especially Di Shen and Ye Lingyue, before setting off, they did not expect they might get separated upon reaching the Ancient Battlefield.
This tightened both Di Shen’s and Ye Lingyue’s hearts; they exchanged a glance.
"Regarding the characteristics of the nine newbie cities, I’ll explain. Each newbie city requires newcors to be under twenty years old. Once over, they’ll be expelled from the newbie city regardless of life or death."
Upon saying this, Yue Mubai took out a detailed map of the Ancient Nine Provinces and used a red cinnabar pen to mark the symbols of several newbie cities.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the map of the Ancient Nine Provinces, where nine cities stood out like morning stars in the night sky, distinctly visible.
