Refining the Mountains and Rivers

in surprise.

Zhou Li shook her head.
“No…that person’s figure just makes me think of someone from my past.
But that individual is only an average person, so it’s impossible for him to appear here.”

When she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat.

With Qi Yu’s status, he shouldn’t have been able to participate in the Shadow Clan’s auction either.
But not only had he gone, he had also created a great disturbance.
If it weren’t for her opening her mouth and asking Elder One Eye to help him withdraw safely, she feared he would have died at the hands of the Witchcraft Sect already.

Using this logic, there was a possibility that Qin Yu would appear in the Hidden Fog Sect.
It was possible that he was a fox pretending to be a tiger.
By relying on the mysterious powerhouse behind him, he was making everyone in the Hidden Fog Sect lower their heads.

Zhou Li’s eyes sharpened.
If this person was truly Qin Yu, then he was courting death! The Beast King War of the Seven Sects involved profound interests.
Even the Shadow Clan didn’t dare to interfere and could only watch from the sidelines.
How dare he try to mix his way in!

Zhou Li’s thoughts raced and she suddenly said, “Radiance Temple Master, I wonder if your previous invitation is still open?”

Although Zhou Li didn’t speak loudly, everyone in the silent surroundings could hear her.

Qin Yu had walked next to the dark star ice serpent.
When he heard that voice he subconsciously turned to look at the source.
Then, their eyes met.

Beneath his black robes, Qin Yu forced a smile.
This was bad, he was being probed by Zhou Li!

The instant their eyes met, Zhou Li was able to determine that the person beneath the black robes was Qin Yu; she needed no other reason! She took a deep breath, anger tumbling in her chest.
Did he not know his own status? Did he really think that he could overcome dangers and hardship every time?

This was the arena where the seven great sects were competing against each other, a place where not even the Shadow Clan dared to interfere.
There was no way she could help save his life again.

Once an accident occurred, he would undoubtedly die!

Damnit! Just who was controlling Qin Yu from behind? Why would they make an average person place themselves in such a perilous situation?

Zhou Li subconsciously looked over the Hidden Fog Sect people.
Another familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.

Yun Die!

Why was she here?

Zhou Li’s thoughts raced and she thought back to that mysterious Mister Ning Qin.
No one knew where he came from but he possessed an extremely formidable strength.

Could it be that he was the one controlling Qin Yu from behind?

But Qin Yu was only an average person.
Why would Ning Qin choose him as a puppet…?

Zhou Li stiffened.
She thought back to when she once recommended Qin Yu to Feng Qing, so that she could suggest him to be Ning Qin’s disciple…could it be that the miss had already done something privately…

Thinking about it, this was the only possibility.
Zhou Li subconsciously bit her lips.
If this were true, hadn’t she harmed Qin Yu? In other words, if Qin Yu had become a disciple of Ning Qin, then whether it was participating in the Shadow Clan auction or today’s arena, none of it was his own intention.

The Radiance Temple Master’s eyes shined.
She nodded, “Of course.
Saintess, please join our platform to watch the battle.”

Zhou Li took a deep breath and suppressed these tumbling thoughts.
After expressing her thanks, she nodded at Ji Yun before flying forward.

Ji Yun furrowed his eyebrows.
He loudly said, “Radiance Temple Master, I am the young master of the Western Tomb’s Ji Family.
This is my identity token.
I wonder if I can join your platform to watch the battle together with Zhou Li?”

Western Tomb Ji Family!

Anyone who had a bit of knowledge couldn’t help but be surprised.
Their complexions changed, revealing looks of shock and awe.

The Western Tomb Divine Church had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and possessed a strong and vigorous heritage.
Each Pope possessed a transcendent cultivation and they were no weaker than any of the seven great sects.
And due to the religious nature of their church, they had an astronomical number of believers in the Western Tomb region.
In terms of absolute power, they actually surpassed the seven great sects to some degree.

The Radiance Temple Master’s eyes swept over the token and her chilling expression was interrupted for a moment.
She nodded and said, “I have interacted with the Western Tomb Divine Church several times before and even fought side-by-side with the noble Yang Sun Protector.
Young Master Ji, feel free to come over.”

Ji Yun cupped his hands together, “Thank you, Temple Master!”

His figure flicked and he landed beside Zhou Li.
He smiled and nodded at her.

When this sight fell into the eyes of the Radiance Temple Master, her gaze was deeper when she looked at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li instinctively knew that the reason Ji Yun didn’t hesitate to expose his status here was because he wanted to stay by her side and prevent her from feeling panicked.
Zhou Li was touched by this, but she had more important matters to attend to right now.

“Miss Yun Die? I never thought that after our last meeting at Midmorning City’s branch division, we would actually meet here again.
It truly is a joy!” Zhou Li had a ‘pleasantly surprised’ look on her face.
“Miss Yun Die, did you come to observe the Beast King War today?”

Yun Die also saw Zhou Li and heard her dialog with the Radiance Temple Master.
Her first thought was one of surprise.
She didn’t think that this Zhou Li was the one who had gained the approval of Dragon City and become the Shadow Clan’s Saintess!

She subconsciously responded, “I followed…” But then she immediately regained her composure, “So that’s how things are.
I never expected that when we met again, Miss Zhou Li would have become the Shadow Clan’s Saintess.
Congratulations!”

She still needed to keep it a secret that her teacher had gone to the Hidden Fog Sect.
She had almost leaked it out.

Zhou Li nodded.
“After today, I will visit Miss Yun Die again.” Although Yun Die had stopped speaking before she revealed anything, Zhou Li had heard enough to make a judgment.

The one controlling Qin Yu was really Ning Qin!
