The expressions of those members from the Sword Sect changed when they saw this. Situ Rong was even infuriated to the extreme, and he turned around to glare at Murong Yao before he said furiously, “You were still trying to protect Tang Ye just now? Look! He made our Sword Sect become targeted by everyone. He’s just a source of disaster, a great source of disaster and misfortune that makes enemies for my Sword Sect!” Murong Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly while a cold glow flashed within them. However, she didn’t say anything because she was unable to change or control the current situation. Situ Rong took a step forward, and then he said loudly, “Everyone, I, Situ Rong, announce right here and right now that my Sword Sect isn’t related to Tang Ye at all. If all of you encounter him, and he’s unwilling to hand that King Rank Darkbeast over, then feel free to make a move against him. My Sword Sect will absolutely not take revenge for him!” Yuan Tong glanced at Situ Rong, and then he said, “As expected of the most outstanding disciple of the Sword Sect’s younger generation, Brother Situ is clearly aware of the right thing to do. But if Brother Situ encounters Tang Ye, then I hope that Brother Situ wouldn’t let him go because he’s a disciple of your sect. After all, it’s related to the lives of countless people!” “If I encounter Tang Ye, then I will definitely not hold back!” Situ Rong hurriedly made his stand clear, and he spoke with a resolute tone! The other disciples of the Sword Sect who stood behind him had hurriedly made their stands clear as well. “Good!” Yuan Tong nodded lightly, and then he gazed at everyone and said, “Form groups of five and search for Tang Ye throughout the mountain range. Remember to be careful of that King Rank Darkbeast! If anyone is able to find Tang Ye and capture him alive or bring that King Rank Darkbeast back, then the reward from me will be 100 King Rank Inner Cores. Moreover, I’ll give that person a spot as an outer court disciple of the Origin School!” All of them were unable to maintain their calm when they heard this. 100 King Rank Inner Cores and the opportunity to become an outer court disciple of the Origin School! That was an extraordinary opportunity! In next to no time, all of them hurriedly formed numerous small groups and dispersed towards the surroundings.After he watched them leave, Yuan Tong gazed at the member of the other five great powers and the Imperial Academy. He said, “Everyone, this matter is related to the lives of countless geniuses from our southern territory. All of you wouldn’t just stand idly by and do nothing, right?” Qin Youran sneered and said, “Yuan Tong, I don’t know why you’ve done all of this, but I want to tell you that I refuse to accompany you. We’ll meet again during the second round of the competition!” As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Youran led the members of the Imperial Academy away. He would naturally not fear the Darkbeasts of the Grand Myriad Mountains because so long as he trod carefully, then how could those Darkbeasts possibly stop him? As soon as Qin Youran left, Leng Xinran from the Snow Palace made her stand clear as well. She didn’t say anything, and she just led the members of Snow Palace towards another direction. Obviously, she refused to participate in this matter as well! When he saw the members of the Imperial Academy and Snow Palace leave, a cold light flashed in Yuan Tong’s eyes, and then he looked at the Ghost Sect and Flower Palace as he said, “What about the two of you? Will you be leaving as well?” Li Xianjun from the Ghost Sect said coldly, “Of course. My junior brother, Xiu Luo, perished in battle, and only I remain from the Ghost Sect. I naturally have to take good care of my life!” As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Wenren Yue glanced at Yuan Tong, and then she said, “Yuan Tong, you made two mistakes. The first was to send your junior brother alone to pursue Tang Ye. The second was to make those independent cultivators form groups of five. If I was you, I would ask them to form groups of 10!” As soon as she finished speaking, she led the members of the Flower Palace away! Yuan Tong frowned slightly. What did she mean by that? Could it be that the strength of that disciple from the Sword Sect, Tang Ye, is very formidable? In next to no time, Yuan Tong shook his head. How strong could a fellow that couldn’t even withstand a single punch from me be? Yuan Tong glanced at Situ Rong and said, “Tang Ye is a disciple of the Sword Sect, so Brother Situ wouldn’t stand by idly, right?”“Of course!” Situ Rong spoke in a cold voice. “As an inner court disciple, I, Situ Rong, naturally have the duty to rid my Sword Sect from such a disciple!” What a joke, how could Situ Rong allow Tang Ye to return to the Sword Sect? When he witnessed the battle between Tang Ye and Qin Youran just now, he’d already decided that he would absolutely not allow Tang Ye to return to the Sword Sect. Because Tang Ye’s potential and strength were truly too terrifying, and it was utterly not difficult for Tang Ye to surpass him, Situ Rong, in the future. So, if he didn’t eliminate Tang Ye now, then when? Yuan Tong grinned, and then he looked at the black robed young man from the Brightmoon Sect that had been constantly overlooked by everyone. He said, “What about the Brightmoon Sect?” The black robed young man smiled and said, “Brother Yuan, stop joking around. Only I alone remain from the Brightmoon Sect. If I die, then my Brightmoon Sect would truly lose face this time. Moreover, my strength is inferior to Tang Ye. Not to mention that he has a King Rank Darkbeast by his side. So, looking for him would be like courting death for me! Thus, I’ve chosen to return to the Grand Qin Empire. I hope everyone will show some understanding!” Yuan Tong grinned and said, “I understand!” Just like that, the profounders that participated in the Ascension Rankings had stopped killing Darkbeasts, and they’d started searching for Tang Ye instead!
