Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-452

“Hehe, it would seem that the Dongfang Family knew that they would
undoubtedly lose, so they wanted to lose even faster. Has this little boy
reached the rank of a Martial General yet? Such a weak presence, anyone
could easily kill him off.”

The people who already had bad blood with the Dongfang Family could not
help but open their mouths and spout mockery as they stared at Bai
Chuan’s young and tender little face. Even the Cloud City governor who
was seating in the seat of honor wrinkled his brows.

Though the rules of the Trials did state that all participants must be
below the age of thirty. However, for a wimpy little brat who was just
over ten years old to come and join the Trials… This was certainly an
act of making a farce out of the Trials!

However, because they never specified a definite age, the governor
couldn’t really say very much against this.

“It seems that the Dongfang Family is growing increasingly weak,” sneered
the old man in white who was seated next to the governor. “However, one
could say that they’re now reaping what they’ve sown. Had Dongfang Yu
joined the Immortal Realm long ago, she wouldn’t have had such a tragic
death and the Dongfang Family would never have fallen. At the end of the
day, they’ve dug their own graves and can’t blame anyone else for their
misfortune.”

The Immortal Realm has never been magnanimous. All kindness displayed was
simply hypocritical and would only be shown when in public. Hence, even
to this day he has never forgot his hatred when Dongfang Yu rejected the
Immortal Realm’s offer.

Of course, Dongfang Yu also rejected the offers from the Courts of Hell
and the Spirit Sect. This lessened the blow for him.

“Just what is this girl doing?” The Honorable Sir Tianqi shook his head
helplessly and sighed, “What does she want to achieve by letting a child
participate in the trials? Could it be that this kid has surpassed the
others in some way?”

Elder Jiu stayed silent. After all, the two men next to him were Martial
Honors and he was only a high-level Martial Emperor at the moment. This
time, he had personally requested to come to Cloud City since the Courts
of Hell was a part of the Three Great Authorities. But as a Martial
Emperor, his words do not carry as much weight when in front of the two
Martial Honors.

However, even when faced with the skeptical stares of the crowd, Bai
Chuan remained silent. His adorable face held a maturity far beyond his
years.

“Cough, cough.”

The governor cleared his throat awkwardly, “Honorable Sir Xiangtian,
Honorable Sir Tianqi, and Elder Jiu. May we begin?”

“Begin.”

Bai Xiangtian nodded his head lightly as he coldly replied.

“As you command.” The governor slowly rose from his seat and faced the
crowd before him, “First of all, welcome everyone to this year’s Divine
Trials. You all know the rules, no weapons are allowed near the eyes.
Since all participants are geniuses from their own organizations, I hope
that you will all show some restraint. Now, let the Trials begin!”

As she heard the governor’s words, Gu Ruoyun wrinkled her brows and
scanned her surroundings. She then sighed, “The competition has already
begun but the members of the Xia Family are not here. It seems that this
would be the first Trial that the Xia Family will not participate in.”

Actually, she had been holding on hope that she would see Yu’er in Cloud
City from the beginning.

Since no one from the Xia Family was participating this time, this proves
that… Yu’er was still missing!

“The first round is a group battle. Every organization shall assign a
group of five to the stage. The first group to be kicked off the stage
shall be eliminated! The last one standing will win first place! However,
since this is a group battle, we emphasize on teamwork. So it is only
considered a victory if all members remain standing on the stage! As long
as one person falls off the stage, the entire team is eliminated.”
