The white haired old man sighed lightly and said, “His natural talent in the Dao of Talismans is extremely monstrous indeed, and I really don’t want to give up on him. However, the troubles he’s facing right now are truly too numerous. The Flower Palace, the Ghost Sect, and the Origin School have already aroused the intention to eliminate him. Of course, most importantly, he’s involved with that mysterious Darkbeast now. With the threat that mysterious Darkbeast poses to the Darkbeast Empire, how could the Beast Emperor allow him to continue living? “His natural talent in the Sword Dao is extraordinary as well. But Daoist Sui gave up on him as well when facing these problems. If I’m not wrong, the agreement between Daoist Zui and the Beast Emperor is probably one where the Darkbeast Empire wouldn’t act against Tang Ye until the Ascension Rankings comes to an end. The Flower Palace, Origin School, and Ghost Sect have probably made similar agreements with Daoist Zui as well. In other words, once the Ascension Rankings ends, then there’s practically no chance for him to survive! It’s exactly because of this that even Li Si, one who’s known for cherishing geniuses, gave up on him as well.” Lin Shan suddenly said, “What if he obtains the first on the Ascension Rankings?” The white haired old man’s eyes narrowed. After a short while, he shook his head and smiled, “There are no ifs. This year’s Ascension Rankings is bound to be a stage for those monstrous geniuses. Even if he has comprehended Sword Intent, he’d bound to be one that serves as a contrast to them. The strengths possessed by those monstrous geniuses are truly extremely terrifying!” Lin Shan didn’t speak further. Tang Ye’s strength was very good indeed, but even he didn’t believe that Tang Ye could seize the first. Because no matter if it was Yuan Tong, Qin Youran, or those other disciples from the two palaces and the Ghost Sect, all of them had been fostered with the full strength of their respective sects. These people didn’t lack cultivation techniques, combat techniques, or cultivation resources! But what about Tang Ye? ...... After he walked out of the hall, Tang Ye raised his head to gaze at the clouds that floated at the horizon, and then he took a deep breath. From now onward, he had no organization, no backing, and was truly all alone. Truthfully speaking, being repeatedly abandoned was truly an unpleasant feeling, but it couldn’t be helped no matter how unpleasant it was. Because the strength he, Tang Ye, possessed was weak, yet his enemies were too formidable! This world was like that. There were many things where one had to endure it even if it was unpleasant because one was weak! Suddenly, Tang Ye grinned and said, “All of you look down on me now, but the day will come when I’ll make all of you unworthy to form ties with me!” “What high-sounding sentiments!” Right at this moment, the clear and melodious voice of a woman resounded from behind Tang Ye. Tang Ye turned around, and he noticed that the white haired old man’s granddaughter, that woman, Bai Qing, who’d entered into conflict with him on the other day had suddenly appeared behind him. Moreover, the little she-devil, Bao’er, and Little Yao who he hadn’t met for a long time were standing behind Bai Qing. “You’re very confident!” Bao Qing gazed at Tang Ye as she spoke. Tang Ye directly disregarded her. His figure flashed and directly appeared in front of Little Yao before he rubbed her little head, and a wisp of a gentle expression flashed in his eyes as he said softly, “Little Yao has grown tall!” When she heard this, Little Yao who was already on the verge of tears had jumped into Tang Ye’s embrace, and she said, “Big Brother....” There were two more days until the second round of the Ascension Rankings began. During these two days of time, Tang Ye didn’t cultivate, and he spent all his time on accompanying Little Yao and Bao’er. Tang Ye was slightly surprised by Little Yao’s natural talent because she was already at the First heaven Realm now. Even though it couldn’t do without the fostering of his master, Lin Shan, Little Yao’s natural talent had still caused Tang Ye to feel slightly embarrassed! After all, how old was she now!? He wasn’t even a profounder at her age.... Besides Little Yao’s natural talent, Tang Ye was also shocked by Bao’er’s natural talent in talisman crafting. Because she was already able to craft mid-rank Technique Talismans now. Even though they were merely low-grade talismans, it still caused Tang Ye to feel quite embarrassed. After all, he was only able to craft low-rank Technique Talismans! After accompanying the two little girls for two days, Tang Ye woke up at the first glimmer of dawn on the third day. He washed up quickly, and then he started journeying towards the entrance of the Imperial Palace. The second round of the Ascension Rankings was starting today!
