After a great deal of investigation, the Origin School had finally locked its sights onto Tang Ye. However, it was too late to capture Tang Ye then because he’d arrived at the Imperial Capital. Moreover, Tang Ye had even become an Earth Talisman Master of the Talisman Master’s Association. Coupled with the fact that Tang Ye was Lin Shan’s disciple as well, that Spirit Realm expert who was tracking Tang Ye from the shadows could only give up on taking Tang Ye alive! After all, it was extremely difficult for the Origin School to conceal something that occurred in the Imperial Capital from the Talisman Master’s Association! So, Yuan Tong had another objective when he came to Ascension Mountain Range, and it was to look for Tang Ye. If it was possible, it was naturally best to recruit Tang Ye into the Origin School, but if it wasn’t possible, then he could only use force! The ability to control Darkbeasts! Even the Origin School couldn’t help but be tempted by it! Yuan Tong took a deep breath, and then he turned around to look at Yuan Ye who stood by his side. “You go after him. I probed his strength earlier, and it’s weaker than yours. However, you must be careful, and watch out for that violet mink on his shoulder! Remember, if you find him, then cripple him first. That kid is proud and arrogant, so it’s impossible to make him join the Origin School now.” Yuan Ye nodded, and then his figure flashed and vanished on the spot. After Yuan Ye vanished, Yuan Tong turned around to look at the human profounders and said, “What? All of you’re afraid?” Before they could answer, he suddenly turned around and pointed at those flying Darkbeasts in the sky and said, “In the last 10,000 years, our humans have fought the Darkbeasts on many occasions. However, it was always us humans that had the last laugh, and the owner of the southern territory has always been us humans! Everyone present here is the most gifted in the southern territory. So, tell me, should all of you fear this group of animals?” As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly soared into the air. In the next moment, a terrifying imposing aura surged from within him, and then he spread open his right fist into a palm and faced it down while the profound energy within his body surged madly into his palm.At this moment, with Yuan Tong as the center, strands of invisible fluctuations of energy had appeared. At a certain moment in time, a wisp of a ruthless expression flashed in Yuan Tong’s eyes, and then he suddenly slapped his palm downward while shouting loudly. “Heavensplit Palm!” In an instant, an enormous blue colored energy palm that was over 30m long and around 15m wide appeared in the air. The energy pal carried a terrifying aura that sent chills running down everyone’s spines as it shot explosively towards the dense expanse of flying Darkbeasts in midair. The enormous energy palm traversed the distance of over 30m in the mere time for a single breath, and then the flying Darkbeasts that bore the brunt of his attack were instantly transformed into countless pieces that descended along with strands of fresh blood! Merely a single strike of the palm had at least kill a few dozen King Rank flying Darkbeasts! At this moment, everyone in the surroundings had witnessed the strength of this greatest monstrous genius for the last thousand years within the southern territory. Even Qin Youran, Li Xianjun, Wenren Yue, and Leng Xinran’s eyes revealed an extremely solemn expression. Even though Yuan Tong had executed a high-grade Earth Rank technique, it was sufficient to display Yuan Tong’s strength. After all, it was extremely difficult for someone at the First Heaven Realm to bring forth the full strength of this technique! However, Yuan Tong had accomplished it with ease! After a short moment of silence, someone suddenly shouted loudly. “All hail Yuan Tong....” After this voice resounded throughout the surroundings, numerous similar shouts resounded successively in the surroundings, and the impetus from a few tens of thousands of people shouting in unison was simply.... Yuan Tong descended to the ground and placed his hands behind his back. He pointed his left hand towards the Darkbeast army on the mountain peak and said in a stern voice, “Are all of you confident in your ability to fight them with me?” “Yes!” The others replied in unison.Qin Youran’s expression changed slightly when he witnessed this scene. Looks like Tang Ye was right. Yuan Rong is trying to win popularity and support. His Origin School is already the number one sect in the southern territory, so what does he intend to do by gaining popularity and support like this? Unite the six great powers? Or unite the entire southern territory?In next to no time, Qin Youran shook his head because both of these were impossible. The Origin School was strong, but it was impossible for the Origin School to go against the other five great powers and the Imperial Academy at the same time. After all, the strengths of the two palaces were merely slightly inferior to the Origin School. As for uniting the southern territory, it was even more impossible, and even if Yuan Tong had the wild ambition to do that, the Origin School wouldn’t allow him to do it! Because an empire wasn’t something a sect could easily shake! But if it’s not any of these two reasons, then what exactly are Yuan Tong’s intentions? Qin Youran would naturally not think that Yuan Tong was truly thinking for the independent cultivators and disciples of the clans here! Wenren Yue glanced deeply at Yuan Tong before falling silent. No matter what, they really did have to join forces against the Darkbeasts now. Because if they didn’t, then even she might not be able to leave with her life. After all, the Darkbeast Empire had dispatched all its elites this time! There really is something off about this year’s Ascension Rankings! At this moment, the members of all the other five great powers and the Imperial Academy thought in this way!
