Ch. 808 - Battle Against Young Geniuses of Eastern Continent

As Gong Yun'er finished speaking, the scene immediately erupted.

“Spare everyone’s lives?” For everyone present, this sounded like a joke.

Every one of them was an important figure from imperial lineages. Grand Elders, Vice-Lords, even Sacred Lords.

They usually held high positions, lofty and revered, with others fawning over them.

“Little girl, do you even know what you're saying?” someone said indifferently.

“You people probably haven’t figured out your situation yet. This isn’t your imperial lineage territory,” Gong Yun’er said with a smile as she clapped her hands.

The next moment, the entire Heaven-Genesis Microcosm began to shake.

From the place where the monk Great Wisdom had buried spirit crystals, seven beams of light shot into the sky.

They surged toward the heavens, and rumbling sounds echoed all around.

A strange force spread out across the area. Wherever this force reached, space itself became sealed.

It was like everything had turned to stone, the surface covered by a layer of solidified energy.

“What’s this?” The various lineage members frowned and looked uneasy upon seeing the scene.

The space had been locked, which meant they were now isolated and couldn’t contact the outside world.

The most troubling part was how these people managed to do this silently and without notice.

“What exactly do you want?” Baili Chengfeng’s frown deepened.

“I already said it, my condition from earlier,” Gong Yun’er replied with a smile.

“I’ll enter the Martial Heaven Tournament and challenge all the young geniuses of the Eastern Continent.”

“I don’t have time to play games with you,” Baili Chengfeng snorted coldly.

His aura flared up. Blue spiritforce surged around his right fist as he punched at the sealed space beside him.

He tried to forcibly break open the space with power.

But just as his attack landed, one of the black-robed men behind Gong Yun’er moved at lightning speed and blocked in front of him.

“Patriarch, if you don’t mind, how about I play with you instead?” the black-robed man said with a light chuckle.

His aura was just as overwhelming, making hearts tremble.

Baili Chengfeng’s gaze narrowed. Just as the situation grew tenser and the air heavy with pressure, the sky above Heaven-Genesis Microcosm twisted.

An old man in a green robe stepped out of the void.

“What a lively scene,” the old man said with a chuckle.

“Greetings, Ancestor Yuelong,” Baili Chengfeng quickly greeted.

“Ancestor Yuelong, he’s one of Grand Emperor Chang Kong’s war generals,” someone remarked.

“Did he come from outside? But isn’t the space sealed?”

“No, this Martial Heaven Tournament is too important. There can’t be any mistakes. I think Ancestor Yuelong has been watching from the shadows all along, just never revealed himself.”

The crowd murmured among themselves, but with Yuelong’s appearance, everyone began to feel more at ease.

As one of the few ancestors of the Baili family, Ancestor Yuelong had a strong reputation.

...

Seeing Yuelong appear, Gong Yun’er didn’t panic.

“My Baili Imperial Clan may have been quiet for a long time, but has it come to the point where we can be humiliated so easily?” Baili Yuelong said flatly.

“Senior, please don’t be angry. This junior had no choice,” Gong Yun’er said.

“How about I let our ancestor from the Otherworldly Zenith Palace speak with you?”

As soon as she said that, the void beside her rippled, and an old man in black appeared in front of her.

The man looked ordinary, with no visible aura, but the pressure he gave off was immense.

“Fellow Daoist, why don’t I spar with you a bit?” the black-robed elder said with a smile.

“We from the Otherworldly Zenith Palace have come here with sincerity and hope that everyone will cooperate. Otherwise, we may be forced to do things you won’t like.”

Ancestor Yuelong snorted and reached out to grab the man.

But the black-robed elder wasn’t about to back down. Their palms collided midair.

The previously sealed space cracked, and booming explosions echoed everywhere.

“Don’t struggle,” the black-robed elder said.

“Let me make this clear, if we truly start fighting, those outside will wipe out your Baili Imperial Clan first.”

“You’re declaring war on the entire Eastern Continent,” Baili Yuelong said with an ugly expression.

He could feel that the other’s strength wasn’t inferior to his, perhaps even more profound.

“We wouldn’t have come here if we weren’t fully prepared. We’re not afraid of your retaliation. What’s the point in saying all this now?” the black-robed elder sneered.

“I’ll give you all three minutes to decide,” Gong Yun’er said lightly with a smile.

“Will I slaughter everyone in Baili City today, leaving you all dead here? Or will you accept my proposal and let me compete in the Martial Heaven Tournament? If I lose, I’ll leave immediately.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd buzzed with discussion.

They didn’t doubt Gong Yun’er’s words, her side had clearly come prepared and didn’t fear any of them.

“Then let the Martial Heaven Tournament decide,” someone said angrily.

“Our Eastern Continent is full of talent and geniuses. Are we supposed to fear just one person?”

“That’s right. She talks big, I want to see how strong she really is. Even those Holy Sons from the Middle Continent aren’t all that. What’s there to fear?”

The voices grew louder and louder until Baili Chengfeng raised his hand, quieting the crowd.

After all, the Baili Imperial Clan was the host of this Martial Heaven Tournament, the final decision rested with them.

“If everyone has no objections, then I’ll temporarily change the rules,” Baili Chengfeng said.

“Any young cultivator from the Eastern Continent may participate in the Martial Heaven Tournament. Whoever can defeat her will be crowned the tournament’s champion.”

Hearing this, the young people present grew excited.

This was a golden opportunity to make a name for themselves.

But they didn’t lose their heads. They all looked at Gong Yun’er as she walked up to the arena.

She was challenging the entire Eastern Continent’s younger generation, alone. How much courage and confidence did that take?

“Who says women are weaker than men?” someone murmured.

“To avoid you using wave tactics and to save time,” Gong Yun’er said, “You should pick the ten strongest among your young generation to fight me. How about that?”

After all, there were too many young people present, she couldn’t fight them one by one.

That would take forever.

“Give us a moment to discuss,” Baili Chengfeng said with a frown.

...

Baili Chengfeng gathered the leaders of several major imperial lineages to discuss.

“What do you all think?” Baili Chengfeng asked.

“Whether her words are trustworthy or not is still unclear,” an elder from the Chi Imperial Clan said. “We should prepare for both outcomes. Even if she loses the match, what if she goes back on her word?”
