current situation.

“My mother is ill after hearing about my death?” A ripple appeared in her cold eyes.

Feiyun said: “The Divine Consort’s cultivation is amazing, she can’t get sick that easily.
I’m sure she is fine, don’t worry.”

Cangyue shook her head: “Feng Feiyun, I can listen to you about pretending to be dead, but you must go tell my mother that I am alive so that she can be at peace.”

Even the strongest cultivator still had a heart.

An illness of the heart was much more serious than any other affliction.

She stared at him, seemingly begging with her eyes.

The truth was that he would rather die than see Ji Lingxuan.

He pondered for a moment and said: “I’ll go see her after all the preparation are done.”

Ji Lingxuan was far more intelligent than Long Cangyue.
If she were to find out that they were still alive, she would make her own plans and this might ruin his own.
He naturally wouldn’t let this calculating and deceptive woman know too much.

As for the Evil Woman, she was still refining her evil blood.
It seemed to be at a crucial stage.

Feiyun didn’t bother her and left the dragon vein.
He headed back to the palace at nightfall.

The competition today was over and the majority of cultivators were leaving.
Many beasts were walking through the streets with their masters sitting on top.

Feiyun looked around and saw several familiar faces but didn’t talk to them.

“You’re here too?” Ningshuai had a Buddhist hat with a face like a fat child and appeared behind Feiyun out of nowhere.

This guy was already short so his big hat looked very out of place on his small stature.

“You got on stage?” Feiyun wasn’t surprised since the two of them signed up together.

“It was fierce today with many experts, I never even got the chance to fight.” Ningshuai was annoyed because he almost climbed up the stage but due to his big hat, someone stepped on it and pushed him down so he lost the eligibility in the very beginning.

Feiyun laughed in response: “Your luck is terrible.”

Ningshuai shook his head: “Nah, it’s the opposite.
If it wasn’t for that guy stomping me down, I would have died on stage, probably.”

“Aren’t you exaggerating?” Feiyun became interested.

“Not at all, that guy was too powerful and merciless.
All were killed within one move; forty-three fights, forty-three geniuses fallen.
In the end, no one else dared to get on stage.” Ningshuai said with a tinge of dread.

“C’mon now! There are so many prodigies in Jin, some were probably annoyed by that guy.
No one came up to take him on?” Feiyun didn’t believe it.

“Feiyun, you’re a frog under the well, don’t think that you can look down on everyone after becoming a historical genius.
The ten qualified combatants today are not bad at all, not weaker than the historical level.
Come, let me show you something.” Ningshuai said.

Feiyun was looking forward to this competition even more.
Perhaps he could use these geniuses to hone his own cultivation.

Ningshuai used a secret passage and took Feiyun to a mansion underground.

There were plenty of cultivators here, none weak.

Both the young and old were here.
Monks, clan descendants, nobles – all were at Heaven’s Mandate and up.

“This is the largest underground gambling ring at the capital.
Any news about the groom competition will get here first.” Ningshuai was familiar with the area and took Feiyun to one building.

Despite being underground, the place was very lively with eighteen large jewels floating above to illuminate the place.

“I bet 60 spirit stones for Dongfang Jingshui to make it to round two.” A slightly chubby middle-aged man betted.
A red-eyed snake coiled around his shoulders.

“Hey Brother, he’s thirty-to-one, you won’t win much.”

“What do you know, this is the safe place.
Another 60 stones for Beiming Potian too, it’s the same odds.”

Ningshuai wanted to join the fun: “The groom selection is a great event so there are gambling rings everywhere, but this is the biggest.
I heard even characters at the same level as the four great clan’s masters are here to bet too.”
