Chapter 155.1: Elder Ye Qiongs Scheme
Qi Yuan sat comfortably in his chair, quietly waiting for the result. He had to admit, pulling strings for the first time felt pretty damn good.
By now, Feng Lan had already sent the message up the chain.

A howling wind raged through Heaven Earth Cave.
Outside the cave entrance, a towering man stood, tense with reverence as he barked angrily, "The Blood-Clothed Sword God has gone too far! He slaughtered Mi'er for no reason, stirred up trouble at the Divine Flower Society, and openly provoked the Venerables! He gets away with everything just because Lord Wind shields him?!"
He clenched his fists. "Now, he wants to interfere with the Eastern Lands Prodigy Battle and secure a slot without even competing?! He clearly looks down on the three lords!"
This giant of a man was a late-stage Violet Palace expert, long in service to Venerable Ye Qiong. After receiving Feng Lan's transmission, he came here fuming.
The cave howled with cold, ghostly wind, and a childish voice drifted out from the depths. "Then tell me, how should we resolve this?"
Hearing the question, the tall cultivator frowned, thinking hard. "Not only does he have Lord Wind’s backing, the great calamity is also looming. Lord, you must preserve your strength. Acting directly against the Blood-Clothed Sword God would be unwise."
The cultivator racked his brain, trying to figure out how to deal with the troublesome fellow, but to no avail. Were they really going to just let the lunatic have his way?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Let him get into the top twenty," he said, excitement creeping into his voice. "That's what he wants: entry to Moonwatch Continent. The Heavenly Dao of Moonwatch Continent is broken. The strong have died off. Not just the Canglan World, but even the Moluo Clan coveted that land. Their clan treasure can detect any cultivator above the five realms the moment they step foot there.
