Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 762 - 763: Whoever Wins Ye Qingcheng Wins the World

"The Monarchs are unaware!" the person spoke, "A few days ago, at the Celestial Universe International Hotel, I personally witnessed the events. Xiao Tianyu and Ye Qingcheng share a significant relationship and might have an emotional history... However, today it is widely spread that this Xiao Tianyu is the Saint Child of Emperor Star Academy. If Ye Qingcheng were to know, with her haughty demeanor, I doubt she would stay at Emperor Star Academy!"

"Such a thing?" The Jiuxian Monarch frowned, "It seems this is a crucial breakthrough point. Since Ye Qingcheng was heartlessly rejected by Xiao Tianyu, she surely wouldn't cultivate in the same academy as him!"

"Exactly!" The person nodded, "As far as I know, Ye Qingcheng is cold and aloof. Once she knows about this, she will inevitably leave. At that time, Jiuxian Academy will have its chance!"

One could clearly sense from the words that Jiuxian Academy's thoughts were very similar to Heaven Slayer Academy.

Yet, the Jiuxian Monarch spoke, "Tomorrow, I shall personally visit Emperor Star Academy once!"

What? The Monarch personally going?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was bewildered. Is the Monarch really going to visit personally? In doing so, isn't he giving Emperor Star Academy too much face? And, Monarch, are you sure this is wise?

Seeing everyone's varied expressions, the Jiuxian Monarch smiled and spoke, "What? Do you all think it's unwise?"

"It's not unwise!" Someone addressed the Jiuxian Monarch, "Monarch, it's extremely unwise. How could the Monarch personally attend a coronation ceremony? Doing so would not only elevate Emperor Star Academy but also reveal the Monarch's mysterious identity!"

"Mysterious identity?"

The Jiuxian Monarch's violet eyes stared at the speaker and said, "Could it be that for the sake of this mysterious identity, I should hide in the shadows forever, never to see daylight?"

"..." Many remained silent upon hearing this, especially the speaker who clearly saw the coldness in Jiuxian Monarch's eyes. Such an expression was as cold as an iceberg.

Thus, he quickly spoke, "Monarch, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that the Sect Leader of Bright Divine Sect, Celestial Demon Academy, and Heaven Slayer Academy probably wouldn't attend personally, whereas Monarch, you..."

Before the words were finished, the Jiuxian Monarch gestured, "Precisely because they won't go, I will. This visit is for Ye Qingcheng alone. Just based on the words 'Heavenly Chosen', it's enough to make me go and greet her. And thus, it could be said we've gained the first move!"

The Jiuxian Monarch saw clearly that his academy had descended upon the Imperial Capital for a particular matter. His personal visit would appear sincere, which was the first move. As long as Ye Qingcheng leaves Emperor Star, she might be moved by his sincerity and join Jiuxian Academy.

Upon hearing, everyone bowed their heads, indicating silence.

...

Celestial Demon Academy.

Celestial Demon Academy is naturally located north of the Imperial Capital, on Celestial Demon Mountain. This mountain reaches into the clouds and is perpetually shrouded in dark mist, hence named Celestial Demon Mountain. Moreover, it is rumored to connect with the Demon Realm. In ancient times, it was said this was the entrance to the Demon Realm.

Of course, these are rumors, and whether it's true, no one knows.

People have attempted to explore the secrets of Celestial Demon Mountain, but unfortunately, they never returned.

Furthermore, since Celestial Demon Academy settled here, the dark mist around Celestial Demon Mountain has become even more enshrouding. Students of the academy wear all-black clothing, appearing extremely ominous.

Celestial Demon Academy Grand Hall.

Two massive stone lions sit guarding the entrance to the hall. These stone lions are pure from top to bottom, entirely black, rumored to be protectors from the Demon Realm, guarding this place.

Moreover, above the hall, a black dragon coils, possessing the aura of overlooking the Nine Provinces.

At this moment, inside the hall.

Numerous individuals wearing black masks stood gathered, and these masked individuals seemed not to interact with one another, only assembled here. Even though they were all high-level figures in Celestial Demon Academy, they hardly recognized each other.

The reason being simply that every time they gathered in the hall, they wore fierce masks.

Even the Demon Monarch was this way.

However, his mask was significantly different from the others, exceedingly mysterious.

"Xiao Tianyu again!" At this moment, a sinister voice emitted from the Demon Monarch's mouth, "Have we identified Xiao Tianyu's identity?"

"Not yet!"

"What are you doing?" Celestial Demon let out a cold snort, "Is a mere Xiao Tianyu causing my Celestial Demon Academy to be helpless? If this continues, how will the Demon Realm rule the world? The dignity of Celestial Demon Academy cannot be violated, understand?"

"Understood!" A Guardian's eyes flickered, revealing a sinister expression, "I shall go capture this Xiao Tianyu right away!"

"No need!" The Demon Monarch stated, "The pressing matter is Ye Qingcheng's Saintess coronation. Regardless, this Heavenly Chosen must be for our academy to utilize. Only then can the Demon Realm contend with that one. As for Xiao Tianyu, we will settle the score with him after the coronation ceremony!"

"Demon Monarch!" A Guardian paused.

"Speak!"

"Is the Heavenly Chosen truly that important?"

"Of course!" The Demon Monarch's voice was imposing, "The Heavenly Chosen is the righteous line of the Heavenly Dao. Her constitution is born of heaven and earth, destined to rule in the future. If utilized by us, the Demon Realm's conquest is imminent!"

From these words, it's evident that Celestial Demon Academy descended upon the Imperial Capital with the same purpose as the other three academies: for the Heavenly Chosen.

...

Bright Divine Sect.

Bright Divine Sect is located to the south of the Imperial Capital. Chosen for its brightness, in stark contrast to the location of Celestial Demon Academy, it appears to be the embodiment of light, as opposed to darkness, forever opposing each other.

The meaning of the word "Bright" already speaks volumes, as if it represents light itself.

Bright Hall.

The opulent Bright Hall has a floating full moon in its center, symbolizing enlightenment of the world.

"By command of the Celestial Emperor, I've come to this small Mortal Realm. I think there's no need for further explanation, right?" At this moment, a young man spoke from the upper part of Bright Hall.

This youth's piercing gaze seemed capable of seeing through everything, with sharply defined features and quite handsome appearance. He seemed nothing like the Sect Leader of Bright Divine Sect who governs his region with authority.

Indeed, this person is Bright Divine Sect's Sect Leader, Chi Zhongtian.

Upon hearing, everyone's eyes met briefly before settling on Chi Zhongtian, each furrowing their brows deeply. Although they knew the purpose of this endeavor, bringing Ye Qingcheng into Bright Divine Sect did not seem easy.

Subsequently, someone spoke, "We understand the Sect Leader's intentions, but Ye Qingcheng is just one person, and currently, other academies are eyeing her. To have Ye Qingcheng willingly join Bright Divine Sect is likely..."

"Whosoever gains Ye Qingcheng gains the world. By any means necessary, now that the Celestial Emperor demands it, if we cannot bring her back, you needn't return either!" Chi Zhongtian's gaze was somber, his voice resonating within their minds.

Undoubtedly, Chi Zhongtian is exceedingly domineering.
