The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 833: Chapter 834: The Hall Master’s Fury

Half a month has passed since the opening of the Six Paths Secret Realm, and today is also the time for the top ten City Lords of the city to go to the Chaos Palace to claim their rewards.

In the main hall of the Chaos Palace, Palace Master Qin, wearing a golden phoenix robe, sits on the Phoenix Scale Throne, propping her chin with one hand, her beautiful face shows no expression.

Then, a man in black armor slowly walks in, half-kneeling on the ground, respectfully saying: "Reporting to Master Qin, eight out of the top ten in the city competition have arrived, but Ye Mo, who ranked first, and Yao Yue, who ranked third, have not come."

"We don’t need to wait for those two, let the other eight come in."

Palace Master Qin said nonchalantly.

"As you wish!"

The man in black armor says, then leaves the main hall. Moments later, the eight City Lords who ranked in the top ten in the city competition slowly walk into the main hall under the guidance of the man in black armor.

"Greetings, Hall Master."

All eight City Lords, including Gu Xingyue, bow their hands in salute to the woman before them.

The Hall Master of the Chaos Palace is an extremely mysterious existence. It is rumored that she has broken through the Cosmos Realm and reached the Wheel of Reincarnation level, and is considered a giant in the Lingwu Continent.

None of them have ever seen a master of Wheel of Reincarnation level. Now faced with this Palace Master Qin, even Gu Xingyue cannot remain calm.

"No need for formalities. The rule of my Chaos Palace is simply that as long as you can abide by the game rules, that’s enough."

Palace Master Qin waves her hand, sweeping her eyes indifferently over the eight, and then her gaze stops on Gu Xingyue: "You’ve broken through the Cosmos Realm?"

"Yes, Hall Master."

Gu Xingyue replies lightly.

"What? Broken through the Cosmos Realm?"

The other seven look at Gu Xingyue in disbelief, their faces full of shock and envy. Stepping into the Qiankun Mirror is like reaching for the stars; it draws attention everywhere, and between the Profound World Realm and the Cosmos Realm, there is an immense bottleneck that some martial artists can never surpass in their lifetime.

"It seems you’ve successfully refined the Ancient Flame Demon Seed and advanced to the Cosmos Realm."

Palace Master Qin’s eyes reveal a look of appreciation.

"Master, why hasn’t the champion of the city competition arrived?"

Suddenly, one City Lord asks.

Boom!

Palace Master Qin’s eyes furrow as a powerful aura spreads out, and that City Lord is sent flying, landing on the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.

Seeing this, the group doesn’t understand.

"Ye Mo and Yao Yue are now targets of our Chaos Absolute Kill Group."

Palace Master Qin just finishes speaking when shadows flicker and descend, landing before her. They are three men in black robes, each exuding a formidable aura, masters who have reached the Cosmos Realm.

"These three are masters of the Chaos Absolute Kill Group, champions of previous years’ city competitions. This is Yuan Tian, this is Nie Zhen, and this is Huo Yan."

Palace Master Qin says.

"What? Yuan Tian? Nie Zhen? Huo Yan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone is shocked, including Gu Xingyue, who is full of surprise.

"It’s said that Yuan Tian participated in a city competition where only he survived; he had just advanced to the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm when he killed five peak masters of the Tyrant Blade Five Tigers, not just challenging higher levels, but facing many opponents alone. Not sure what level he has reached now."

"Nie Zhen reportedly broke through to the Cosmos Realm under everyone’s watchful eyes during the city competition and didn’t complete the race but became champion anyway."

"Huo Yan was even more terrifying, without making a move throughout the competition, yet intimidating everyone at the end with his formidable power, ultimately winning the city competition."

Upon hearing these three names, everyone is repeatedly amazed.

Their strength and reputation are so formidable in the Zone of Chaos, striking fear in the hearts of many.

The three, arms crossed and eyes fixed haughtily on the eight before them, their demeanor slightly constrained when looking at Gu Xingyue.

Advancing to the Cosmos Realm before entering the Chaos Palace, her natural talent rivals theirs.

"Ye Mo’s title as champion is revoked, replaced by Gu Xingyue, who can directly enter our Chaos Palace. As for the other seven City Lords, someone will guide you to receive your rewards. If you wish to enter our Chaos Palace, you can go through the assessment."

Palace Master Qin says indifferently.

"Yes!"

Saying this, aside from Gu Xingyue, the other seven City Lords are led away to choose their city competition top ten prizes.

"Gu Xingyue, I’ve heard you’re skilled with spears, the Hall Master has a top-grade Celestial Weapon spear here, the Black Soul Binding Spear."

Palace Master Qin says, extending her jade hand, producing a black spear, seven feet long, that when swung, bursts with powerful spiritual fluctuations.

"The Artifact Spirit of this Black Soul Binding Spear is highly aggressive; in collision with other weapons, it can lock the opponent’s Artifact Spirit, even causing their weapon to lose spirit completely."

"Consider this weapon your reward for becoming champion and successfully joining the Chaos Absolute Kill Group."

Saying this, Palace Master Qin tosses the Black Soul Binding Spear to Gu Xingyue, who grasps the spear, also feeling its extraordinary nature.

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Gu Xingyue salutes.

"Alright, today the Hall Master has an important task for you four."

Palace Master Qin says indifferently.

Yuan Tian, Nie Zhen, Huo Yan turn around, listening to Palace Master Qin’s instructions.

They secretly wonder what kind of task requires the three of them. Among them, Yuan Tian is the strongest, having already reached the Third Rotation of Qiankun.

"The task the Hall Master wants to assign to you is to go to the Lingwu Continent and kill Ye Mo."

Palace Master Qin says.

"What? Kill Ye Mo?"

Gu Xingyue is the first to express surprise.

"Ye Mo? Is he not the champion of this year’s city competition? Seems he offended the Hall Master."

Yuan Tian says.

"Yes, the Hall Master can tell you directly that Ye Mo has two of the seven Ancient Evil Weapons, one being the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, the other the Devil Refining Gourd. If you can kill Ye Mo, these two Ancient Evil Weapons will be yours. As members of the Chaos Absolute Kill Group, you wouldn’t need reminding of the significance of possessing the seven Ancient Evil Weapons."

Palace Master Qin says.

For the members of the Chaos Absolute Kill Group, possessing the seven Ancient Evil Weapons is akin to becoming a Dragon Slaughterer, nurtured by the Chaos Palace.

"Rest assured, Hall Master. Wherever he hides, we’ll bring back his head to you."

Yuan Tian says, licking his lips darkly.

"You four, although Cosmos Realm masters, exercise caution when in the Lingwu Continent. There are too many masters over there. When dealing with Ye Mo, be particularly careful; otherwise, you won’t know how you end up failing."

Palace Master Qin advises indifferently.

"Hall Master, I’ll make sure he understands the consequences of offending our Chaos Palace."

With that, the four slowly walk out of the hall, immediately followed by four more black-robed men entering.

"How’s the investigation going?"

Palace Master Qin frowns and asks.

"Feng Chu is likely heading to the Lingwu Continent as well."

One mysterious man replies.

"Good, you four go and capture Feng Chu. If he refuses to submit, eliminate him."

"Yes!"

With that, the four leave the hall again.

"For a century, the Hall Master has painstakingly plotted to acquire the Reincarnation Heart, only to be thwarted by those two brats. The Hall Master will make them understand that opposing the Chaos Palace means death!"
