Live Strong in the Wilderness

After Ye Fan left Xu Yi and their tent, he set up a small tent next to Xu Yi’s.

After all, they’re part of the same team now. They can’t still live far apart like before, right?

Sitting cross-legged inside his own tent, Ye Fan stroked the small head on his shoulder and whispered, "Do you think they’ve discovered my disguise?"

The small head shook, indicating no.

Anyway, the small head believed Xu Yi and their disguise was very successful.

If it weren’t for its ability to sense Xu Yi, it wouldn’t have discovered their disguise at all.

However, compared to Gu Qinglian and Tian Yuezi, Ye Fan’s disguise was somewhat inferior.

Anyone with stronger spiritual power could discover his disguise.

Nonetheless, the high-ranking members of the Holy Lands are quite savvy; even if they discover Ye Fan’s disguise, they won’t say anything.

Whether Xu Yi has left or not, nobody knows.

What if he hasn’t left?

The best attitude towards Ye Fan is to ignore him.

Because Xu Yi’s attitude towards Ye Fan isn’t very clear.

What if killing Ye Fan offends Xu Yi?

Or, protecting Ye Fan offends Xu Yi?

Therefore, the best choice is to act as if they haven’t discovered anything. Since Ye Fan is disguised, as long as no one exposes him, he isn’t Ye Fan.

"Indeed, it seems unlikely. However, a few people have secretly examined me; they probably discovered it." Ye Fan squinted his eyes. Since leaving the Wuxu Palace, Ye Fan has become more sensitive.

Once a person becomes sensitive, they tend to observe everything around them more carefully because of their fear of harm.

The next two days were uneventful for their temporarily formed team; they stayed in their tents to cultivate.

When the time came, they emerged from their tents.

The new round of challenges was divided into two zones: team battle zone and individual zone.

Those eliminated here would not be expelled.

Because the competition needs spectators.

How boring a match would be without spectators.

Thus, those eliminated will directly become spectators to witness the emergence of the strongest individual or team.

In the first round, the individual zone had 1,000 arenas, and the team battle zone had 500 arenas.

After all, people choosing team battles were relatively fewer.

Because, the rewards for both team battle and individual victor are the same. However, the individual keeps all the rewards, while team battle requires distribution among five people.

When Xu Yi and their team walked towards the team battle zone, everyone was surprised.

After all, they had shown incredible strength before, especially Xu Yi, who defeated opponents in one move.

Such a championship favorite actually chose team battle?

So, those who hadn’t planned to fight on the first day were immediately attracted by Xu Yi and his team.

Although there were 500 seats in the team battle zone, very few participated.

teams occupied 120 seats, waiting for challengers to appear.

As a result, none of the other 119 seats drew spectators, while everyone gathered around Xu Yi’s seat.

"Master Gu, this Eight Saints Assembly is indeed a bit bizarre; such an unusual situation has occurred." Wu Xing, the Pavilion Master of Infinite Palace, commented while observing the team battle zone.

"It’s not surprising, the Nine Saints Assembly turned into the Eight Saints Assembly." Tian Yuelan, Pavilion Master of Celestial Moon Pavilion, expressed some annoyance, as she held sentiments for the Supreme Palace because her mother was one of its Saintesses.

In the Nine Great Holy Lands, Saintesses or Saint Heirs are not limited to only one, but have no set quota. As long as your talent and strength reach that level, you can become a Saintess or Saint Heir.

Furthermore, many Saintesses would marry into other Holy Lands, engaging in alliances and such.

Her mother was soon to become the Vice Palace Master of Supreme Palace.

Such a situation was a good thing for Celestial Moon Pavilion.

However, the Supreme Palace was destroyed; her mother’s cultivation was crippled, and she even attempted suicide several times. If Tian Yuelan hadn’t continually sent people to watch, her mother would have died long ago.

Therefore, she held grievances against Xu Yi in her heart.

When Xu Yi was around, she naturally didn’t dare to express such thoughts or show any dissatisfaction.

After all, Xu Yi and his subordinates were too powerful. If she angered Xu Yi, Celestial Moon Pavilion might be directly erased.

"I kindly ask you to be cautious with your words; we still cannot confirm whether this Xu Yi is Xu Gongzi." Gu Mingli whispered softly, as he had never understood Xu Yi and didn’t know where Xu Yi currently was.

Tian Yuelan’s words clearly hinted at some blame towards Xu Yi.

"Hmph, my unfilial daughter doesn’t even send a message to her mother, truly daughter grown up beyond control, despite raising her for so many years." Tian Yuelan shifted the topic, as even her husband suspected the true identity of this Xu Yi.

"I personally think this loose cultivator cannot be Xu Gongzi; Xu Gongzi, a noble deity, why would he lower his status? To him, we are no different than monkeys. His entertainment would not be so lowly." The Palace Master of Wuwang Palace expressed his stance.

"No matter what identity this Xu Yi has, as long as we don’t interfere, it will be fine. Even if there’s some connection between him and Xu Gongzi, we’ll be on the side of reason." The Pavilion Master of Celestial Star Pavilion also shared his thoughts.

The Sect Leaders of eight Holy Lands were all monitoring Xu Yi and his team.

Unfortunately, not one of them could discover Xu Yi and their disguise.

Even Gu Mingli and Tian Yuelan could not recognize their daughter right beside Xu Yi, transformed into a handsome young man.

"It seems there’s no suspense about them winning the team battle, and it should end quickly. After all, we can’t organize personnel to stop them from winning the team battle." Another Sect Leader said with some emotion.

Such a situation was absolutely unprecedented in the Holy Assembly.

"That might not be the case; disciples of the eight Holy Lands still have some pride. Perhaps this year there will only be team battles and no individual competition." Another Sect Leader glanced at the individual zone and expressed his thoughts.

Because by now, in the individual zone, there were only 200 arena masters, yet no one stepped up to challenge them.

Everyone was attracted to the team battle zone.

Moreover, other arena masters in the team battle zone also left their platforms and surged toward Xu Yi’s platform.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Do they really lack the courage to challenge us?"

Upon saying this, Xu Yi immediately received some notifications, indicating he gained some fortune value.
