Chapter 977, No Entry for Idle Persons

Translator: Silavin

 

“To establish a foothold here, I can’t avoid such troubles.” Qin Yichen’s expression remained calm as he spoke indifferently, not a trace of concern in his brow.

 

Looking at Qin Yichen’s face, a flash of surprise passed through the Elder’s eyes. This fellow seemed to be even more mature than he had anticipated.

 

Indeed, to stand firm in Saints Heavenly City, one could not rely on the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s reputation or past achievements. Although Chen Feng possessed considerable fame, when placed across the Sacred Lands, he could barely be considered middle tier at best.

 

Moreover, not many people had witnessed the slaying of Chen Feng, and the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul had also participated in that battle. Thus, this achievement alone was not enough to convince everyone.

 

Speaking frankly, on the surface these people came to provoke Qin Yichen, but in reality, their main purpose was to verify the existence of the Phoenix Martial Soul!

 

“To have such a Sacred Master Candidate is truly a blessing for our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!”

 

The Elder sighed with relief in his heart. After cupping his hands, he proceeded outside.

 

…

 

Outside the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence.

 

At this moment, numerous figures had already gathered. These people were all extremely young, but without exception, they all emanated formidable auras!

 

This group were evidently outstanding figures among the younger generation. Any one of them possessed considerable renown in their respective regions.

 

At the very front of this group, two slender figures particularly drew the sidelong glances of the others.

 

Because the aura fluctuations emanating from these two had already reached the Late Stage Martial Ancestor Realm! The person who had spoken earlier was the white-robed man on the left.

 

They were all the most outstanding Disciples from the various Sacred Lands, and had come this time because of Qin Yichen and the Phoenix Martial Soul’s reputation.

 

“Chen Que, I’ve heard that this Qin Yichen has quite a good relationship with the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul. You’re not planning to give up?” At this moment, the white-robed man looked towards the man beside him with black and white hair, his voice carrying a hint of mockery. “If you anger the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul, you’ll likely end up with the same fate as Chen Feng!”

 

“*Hmph!* Not just anyone is qualified to be with someone who owns a Phoenix Martial Soul. I’ll remind him of this point.” The man with black and white hair spoke calmly, without the slightest fluctuation, as if discussing an extremely trivial matter.

 

How could a weakling possibly be qualified to be with such a woman!? Only the strong were worthy of such a woman.

 

“What if he stubbornly refuses to listen?” The white-robed man asked with a smile.

 

“Then I’ll kill him.” The man with black and white hair lifted his eyes slightly, his voice emerging flatly without any fluctuation.

 

“It seems I’ve arrived a step late. Fellow Brothers Chen Que and Bei Ling, surely you haven’t been guarding outside the Brilliant Sky residence all this time?”

 

During their brief exchange, another voice suddenly rang out. Then, a silver figure appeared beside them with a trailing afterimage, moving swiftly.

 

“Yin Wulu, doesn’t your Roaring Heaven Sacred Land wear the same trousers as Brilliant Sky Sacred Land? Why are you getting involved in this matter?” Seeing the newcomer, the white-robed man snorted coldly, a flash of wariness crossing his eyes as he smiled faintly.

 

“Bei Ling, you can’t speak carelessly. Sacred Land affairs aren’t for us to discuss. I’ve merely come to meet the much-talked-about Qin Yichen who managed to slay Chen Feng.” Yin Wulu smiled lightly.

 

*Hmph!* In response to his words, Chen Que merely snorted coldly and did not bother engaging.

 

During their conversation, the squad of guards protecting the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence were sweating profusely. This group before them, whether in terms of strength or status, were people they could not afford to provoke!

 

*Creak!* “Gentlemen, Sacred Master Candidate Qin invites you in.” Finally, under their expectant gazes, the residence gate behind them slowly opened, and an aged voice transmitted from within.

 

“Knowing we’ve come looking for trouble, yet still daring to see us?”

 

“This Qin Yichen truly has guts. I just wonder if his strength matches his reputation.”

 

The Sacred Master Candidates from the four Sacred Lands exchanged glances and smiled faintly.

 

However, they did not act too presumptuous. After all, this was Saints Heavenly City, and they had come this time mainly to confirm one matter, though they did intend to put some pressure on the much-talked-about Qin Yichen.

 

Was the rumour about the Phoenix Martial Soul true or not?!

 

This was what they cared about most. They were all elite figures of the younger generation. Although this news had originated from the Radiance Sacred Land, before confirming it, they obviously would not believe it so easily.

 

The Phoenix Martial Soul was basically the Martial Soul of a God. It surpassed the Martial Soul Rankings, and had only existed in legends!

 

Was it that those two Elders from the Radiance Sacred Land had been mistaken, or had this legend truly appeared?

 

Following the entry of the four Sacred Land Sacred Master Candidates, the other young experts who had followed behind them also stepped forward. However, extremely embarrassingly, just as they approached, the gate of the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence slammed shut with a *bang*, and several youths who had been walking at the front nearly crashed headfirst into it!

 

“Gentlemen, please return to your own places. The Sacred Master Candidate has decreed: no entry for idle people!”

 

A faint voice also transmitted out as the gate closed.

 

“Idle people!?”

 

Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of the dozen or so youths outside the hall became extremely grim.

 

They had waited for several days just for today, yet they were being called idle people?!

 

Although the Forces behind them could not compare with the Sacred Lands, they were all First Tier Forces. Moreover, their reputations were only slightly weaker than those Sacred Master Candidates.

 

Wherever they went, which Force did not receive them courteously? Some Forces even treated them with the same attitude they would Sacred Master Candidates.

 

Yet here, they had been refused entry!

 

They could not even get through the door! What humiliation was this?

 

Looks of embarrassment and anger appeared on the faces of these talented youths. A mere wooden door, how could it possibly stop them?

 

But helplessly, even with several times the courage, they dare not smash through this easily destructible ornate wooden door!

 

The Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had received four Sacred Master Candidates yet completely ignored them, clearly indicating that their status was not equal!

 

Only those from the Twelve Sacred Lands were qualified to receive the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s hospitality!

 

Suffering this insult, some immediately departed with angry expressions. However, more people endured the anger in their hearts and continued waiting outside the gate, or sought elegant rooms in nearby taverns to observe from afar.
