Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Great Demon Ancient Tomb Opens

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao chuckled. "Don’t tease me, Senior Sister. But what are you two doing here?"

"Alright, let’s get down to business," Luo Yi said. "The Hall Master sent us to fetch you. Since you’re out, let’s go."

Yi Xiaoyao nodded. After introducing Yun Mengling to the other two, the four of them headed off together to see the Hall Master.

On the way, the four of them drew countless stares. Yun Mengling, in particular, left the male disciples utterly smitten.

The disciples started whispering among themselves, wondering when the Seven Kills Star Hall had gained such a peerless beauty and how they were only finding out about her now.

At the same time, they all envied Yi Xiaoyao. With Luo Yi on one side and Yun Mengling on the other, he was walking between two stunning beauties. ’He must be in heaven,’ they thought.

...

In a certain pavilion, the Black Robe Hall Master smiled as he looked at the four young men and women before him.

Eventually, his gaze fell upon Yun Mengling.

"Meng Ling, how have you been finding things these past days?" the Black Robe Hall Master asked with a smile.

Yun Mengling gave a slight bow and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Hall Master. Though I am not a member of the Seven Kills Star Hall, you have still granted me a place for the Great Demon Ancient Tomb. I will never forget this kindness."

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao and the others were taken aback. ’So, Yun Mengling isn’t actually a disciple of the Seven Kills Star Hall.’

The Black Robe Hall Master chuckled, gave the four of them a few more instructions, and went out of his way to praise Yi Xiaoyao.

"There is little else to say," the Black Robe Hall Master said. "The Great Demon Ancient Tomb opens tomorrow. Go back and prepare."

With that, the four of them took their leave.

After returning to his quarters, Yi Xiaoyao greeted Jin Sanbao and Xuan Mo, chatted for a few moments, and then shut himself in his room.

Although his Cultivation had not advanced at all in the Cultivation Tower due to the Gravity and Magnetism, his foundation had been tempered and was now incredibly stable.

He now had the distinct feeling that he could break through to the next Realm at any moment.

Therefore, Yi Xiaoyao immediately sat on his bed, consumed several Foundation-Building Pills, and began his breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

As expected, the breakthrough was completely unimpeded, a natural success.

After reaching the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment, Yi Xiaoyao continued to stabilize his Cultivation and waited for the next day to come.

「The next day.」

Dozens of massive, powerful Griffins flew high above the Earth Star Forest, eventually landing one by one in a remote region deep within.

Yi Xiaoyao leaped down from his Griffin and joined Luo Yi and the other two behind the Black Robe Hall Master.

The Seven Kills Star Hall had sent seven people in total. Besides the four disciples with entry spots, two elders stood behind the Black Robe Hall Master.

Yi Xiaoyao glanced around, seeing people from all the other Major Sects. Directly in front of the assembled crowd stood a dilapidated altar.

Everyone was sizing each other up. The various groups were subtly divided into two factions: one was the so-called Renowned and Righteous Sects, led by the Cloud Transformation Sect, and the other was the Evil Sects, led by the Seven Kills Star Hall.

The moment they met, the two factions began to posture and vie for dominance.

The Cultivation of these powerful sect figures was far higher than that of the disciples, allowing them to easily discern everyone’s cultivation level. A cursory glance was all it took for them to notice something strange about Yi Xiaoyao.

"Hm? Has the Seven Kills Star Hall run out of people? To think they’d send a mere boy at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment," the Sect Leader of the Jinhan Sect sneered as he looked at Yi Xiaoyao.

The members of the other sects also turned to look at Yi Xiaoyao, all with odd expressions on their faces.

After all, every other disciple present was at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment; Yi Xiaoyao’s Cultivation level was just too conspicuous.

Just then, the Sect Leader of the Cloud Transformation Sect recognized Yi Xiaoyao. His eyes narrowed as he roared, "Yi Xiaoyao, you little bastard! It’s you! How dare you show your face here? You will certainly die today!"

The Black Robe Hall Master’s brow furrowed. Given how highly he valued Yi Xiaoyao, he had long ago investigated his background and was aware of the conflict between him and the Cloud Transformation Sect.

"Shangguan Jingyun," the Black Robe Hall Master sneered, "your disciple was killed by one of ours from the Seven Kills Star Hall because he was simply not skilled enough. Aren’t you embarrassed to even mention it? With me here, I’d like to see you try and lay a hand on Yi Xiaoyao."

Yi Xiaoyao shot a cold glare at Shangguan Jingyun. ’This man was responsible for my grandfather’s death. He’s been on my kill list for a long time.’

Shangguan Jingyun snorted. "Why would I need to personally kill this little bastard? Once inside the Great Demon Ancient Tomb, he won’t escape the grasp of my Cloud Transformation Sect’s disciples."

With that, Shangguan Jingyun turned and gave a few instructions to the four disciples behind him.

The four disciples glanced at Yi Xiaoyao, then nodded with supreme confidence. "Rest assured, Sect Leader. He’s just a boy at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment. Killing him will be effortless for us."

The Black Robe Hall Master just smiled coldly. He had complete confidence in Yi Xiaoyao and showed no trace of concern.

Just then, the dilapidated altar suddenly began to tremble. A Guangmen then cracked open, emanating a thick demonic aura.

The Great Demon Ancient Tomb was open.

As the Guangmen stabilized, disciples from other sects immediately rushed inside, eager to get a head start.

For each person that entered, a corresponding point of light appeared on the Guangmen’s shimmering surface.

Judging by the points of light, the disciples who had entered the Guangmen together had been scattered to different areas within the pocket dimensions of the Great Demon Ancient Tomb.

The Black Robe Hall Master said to Yi Xiaoyao and the other three, "The space within the Great Demon Ancient Tomb is extremely unstable. You will be teleported randomly upon entry. You four must be careful."

"Yes, sir," the four replied, then charged into the Guangmen together.

As Yi Xiaoyao and the three others entered, four points of light representing them appeared on the Guangmen.

When he saw the positions of these four points of light, the Black Robe Hall Master’s expression immediately soured.

The other Major Sects were paying close attention to the Seven Kills Star Hall, so when they noticed the points of light representing Yi Xiaoyao and his group, their faces showed a variety of expressions.

As it turned out, the four of them had been scattered to very unfavorable locations.

Luo Yi and Han Xiao had been transported to an extremely remote area on the periphery. Yun Mengling had been sent to a region filled with members of the Righteous Sects. As for Yi Xiaoyao, he was no better off than the other three.

"Haha, Black Robe! Your four disciples from the Seven Kills Star Hall were scattered so far apart! Looks like they won’t be hunting for treasure, they’ll be hunting for each other!"

The figures from the Righteous Power gloated at the Black Robe Hall Master.

The Black Robe Hall Master frowned in silence, his earlier confidence slowly giving way to worry.

"Oh? That boy from the Seven Kills Star Hall, the one at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment, was actually transported to the same location as a disciple from my Hundred Flowers Sect."

The Sect Leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, part of the Righteous Power, pointed to the Star Points on the Guangmen in brief surprise. Then, she smiled at Shangguan Jingyun, the Sect Leader of the Cloud Transformation Sect. "Master Shangguan, if my disciple from the Hundred Flowers Sect kills that Yi Xiaoyao for you, how will you thank me?"
