Chapter 804: Non-participants, Surrender Invalid

Facing Elder Yin Changhong's questioning at this moment, Queen Ji Yu only paused for a brief instant before warning him coldly:

"Elder Yin, for you to interfere like this in a competition between juniors, isn't it a bit beneath your status?"

Elder Yin Changhong was so furious that his hair and beard stood on end, and he retorted angrily:

"Beneath my status? Your daughter wants to cripple my Disciple's cultivation, are you blind or did you just not see it?!"

"This has already exceeded the scope of the competition!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Ji Yu laughed disdainfully and said:

"On the arena, blades have no eyes; injuries are unavoidable."

"If you can't even bear this small risk, why did you even come to participate in the Prodigy Ranking Tournament?"

"Your Disciple's skills are inferior, are you going to blame my daughter for being too heavy-handed?"

Her words were arrogant to the extreme; it was clear she didn't hold the newly promoted Level 2 Divine Kingdom, the Dongyi Divine Kingdom, in any regard at all.

Elder Yin Changhong's expression instantly turned incredibly ugly!

The people on the arena could naturally hear the commotion outside.

Moreover, Princess Ji Ruxue had been observing Ye Wudao the whole time, just to torment him a little more.

She, of course, also heard the confrontation between Elder Yin Changhong and Queen Ji Yu.

She sneered inwardly, cursing Queen Ji Yu as an idiot; she didn't even know her own daughter had been swapped, yet she was still trying her best to defend her?

It was perfect; she could take this opportunity to stir up some hatred for the Vermilion Bird Kingdom.

Therefore, not only did Princess Ji Ruxue not stop her actions, she deliberately pressed her palm down slowly, her eyes fixed on Ye Wudao outside the arena, as she said with a giggle:

"Little beast, you'd better watch carefully!"

As she spoke, her palm descended a little more, very deliberately and obviously!

"No!"

Ye Wudao's eyes were bloodshot as he let out an angry roar.

He frantically tried to crash against the Formation barrier surrounding the arena, but how could he, using only his fists, shake a Formation that was sturdier than bedrock?

On the other side, seeing this, Elder Yin Changhong was completely enraged!

At this point, with Princess Ji Ruxue acting like this, it was clearly deliberate humiliation!

Elder Yin Changhong absolutely could not tolerate this!

Boom!

In his fury, the terrifying aura of Elder Yin Changhong, a Saint Spirit Realm first-stage expert, was unleashed without reservation, sweeping across the entire venue.

His gaze was locked firmly onto Queen Ji Yu as he roared:

"Queen Ji Yu!"

"Does your Vermilion Bird Kingdom want to go to war with my Dongyi Divine Kingdom?!"

This angry shout, like rolling thunder, directly shook the entire White Jade Plaza until it hummed!

Queen Ji Yu's attitude remained tough, and she sneered:

"War? Elder Yin Changhong, you think too highly of yourself, and you think too highly of the Dongyi Divine Kingdom!"

"A newly promoted Level 2 Divine Kingdom dares to clamor in front of my Vermilion Bird Kingdom?"

"I think you are too arrogant!"

After all, the Dongyi Divine Kingdom had only just been promoted to a Level 2 Divine Kingdom, while the Vermilion Bird Kingdom was a top-tier force among established Level 2 Divine Kingdoms; Queen Ji Yu was completely fearless!

Although Elder Yin Changhong had the massive Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce behind him.

But the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce always only did business and did not interfere in the internal affairs of various Divine Kingdoms; Elder Yin Changhong's attitude was not the attitude of the entire Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Furthermore, everything Princess Ji Ruxue was doing now was on the arena.

Even if it blew up, Queen Ji Yu had plenty of reasons to explain it away!

These words completely ignited all the fury in Elder Yin Changhong's heart!

"You go too far!"

Elder Yin Changhong roared, his voice shaking the surroundings!

His hair and beard stood on end, and no longer caring about his demeanor as an Elder, he immediately grabbed fiercely at the air!

Clang!

In an instant, a clear sword hum rang out across the world!

Accompanying this sound, a cold, gleaming azure longsword suddenly appeared in Elder Yin Changhong's hand!

The longsword seemed to sense its master's emotions; the blade vibrated and hummed continuously, emitting a piercing screech as it pointed directly at Queen Ji Yu!

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you!"

Seeing this, Queen Ji Yu's phoenix eyes turned cold, and boundless anger rose in her eyes as well.

As the master of a top-tier force among established Level 2 Divine Kingdoms, when had she ever been pointed at like this?

Elder Yin Changhong was courting death!

So instead of retreating, she stepped forward, and her right hand also suddenly clenched in the Void Realm!

Boom!

A moment later, a mass of blazing fire exploded in her palm, rapidly condensing and elongating, transforming into a flaming spear engraved with Vermilion Bird divine patterns!

Flames rose on the spear, and its incomparably domineering aura collided fiercely with Elder Yin Changhong's Sword Qi, directly causing the surrounding space to emit unbearable "crackling" sounds!

The temperature of the entire White Jade Plaza also suddenly soared!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene!

No one expected that these two Saint Spirit Realm experts from Level 2 Divine Kingdoms would actually fight on the scene of the Prodigy Ranking Tournament!

Just as the heaven-shaking Sword Qi and the sky-burning spear light were about to collide in full view of everyone, at this critical moment!

"Presumptuous!"

A cold shout, aged yet containing supreme majesty, suddenly exploded in the depths of everyone's Divine Soul!

Immediately after, a pressure far more vast and unfathomable than Elder Yin Changhong and Queen Ji Yu combined, like a collapsing heavenly river, suddenly crashed down from the firmament!

Hum!

The Sword Qi and spear light that were about to collide, in the face of this power, didn't even cause a ripple before being instantly suppressed, smoothed over, and directly dissipated into nothingness!

Elder Yin Changhong and Queen Ji Yu were struck as if by lightning, their bodies shaking violently, their faces turning pale in unison!

Everyone looked up in shock, only to see that at some point, Venerable Tianji had appeared in mid-air, looking down condescendingly at the two who were at daggers drawn.

He was expressionless, but in his turbid old eyes, a chilling light that made one's heart palpitate flashed, and his indifferent voice resounded across the sky:

"All of you, stop!"

"This is the Prodigy Ranking Tournament, not a place for you to resolve personal grudges!"

"Whoever dares to act rashly again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

His voice, as if containing the supreme majesty of Nine Heavens divine thunder, echoed continuously in the ears of Elder Yin Changhong and Queen Ji Yu.

Both of them felt the Qi and blood in their bodies surging, their bodies swaying.

They both knew they couldn't fight anymore.

If they fought again, Venerable Tianji would really take action!

Elder Yin Changhong's face was full of pain as he looked at Ye Wudao with guilt.

Although he was already a Saint Spirit Realm expert, he still couldn't help his own Disciple at this moment!

This was a huge blow to Elder Yin Changhong!

But at this moment, Ye Wudao couldn't care about Elder Yin Changhong's side.

Venerable Tianji stepping in was, for Ye Wudao, actually an opportunity.

He couldn't care about the suffocating pressure from Venerable Tianji, but instead suddenly raised his head and shouted hoarsely at the figure in mid-air:

"Venerable! We surrender! Yue Liuli surrenders!"

However, Venerable Tianji, upon hearing this, only glanced at him indifferently; his gaze was as calm as an ancient well, as if he were looking at a noisy ant.

"You are not a participant in the challenge."

"Your surrender is invalid."

His voice was flat, yet carried an indisputable firmness as he said indifferently:

"On the arena, only if the participant themselves personally speaks the surrender, can it count."
