Chapter 1557: 1557
The expelling of one’s life aura was very different in the Northern Divine Region due to the presence of darkness yin energy and the cultivation of darkness profound energy . As a result, detection of one’s life aura was far less accurate and clear compared to the outside world . That being said, it was still possible to narrow it down to an approximate range .
She seemed surprised that Dong Jiukui would say such a thing, though not at the estimate itself . She replied indifferently, “That’s not a funny joke . ”
Dong Jiukui moved on to the next topic after that . Naturally, he didn’t believe that Yun Che was really less than a hundred and eighty years old . In the Northern Divine Region, it was perfectly normal to misjudge a person’s life aura because the same person could give off vastly different life auras if they cultivated different darkness profound arts .
“Xueyan, I think you forgot to inquire about his background just now,” Dong Jiukui asked .
“Hmph!” Dong Xueyan frowned deeply when she recalled Yun Che’s stiff and chilly expression . “Considering the foolish arrogance he displayed earlier, it’d just be a waste of time . Plus, royal father doesn’t care about his background at all . ”
“Actually, the sect master does care, but he doesn’t have the time to check right now . ” Dong Jiukui shook his head and said slowly, “In the past, the East Ruins Realm has only ever lost to the North Ruins Realm during the Central Ruins Battle . But now, the West Ruins Realm has defeated us twice in a row, driving us down to third place . ”
“It’s one thing to lose resources, and another to suffer a devastating blow to one’s reputation and status . You know what kind of person your royal father is . There is no way he is going to accept a third consecutive defeat . ”
“If we lose to the West Ruins Realm again…” Dong Jiukui sighed deeply before continuing, “Your royal father will never accept it . ”
“This Yun Che is capable of beating two level ten Divine Kings by himself, and his cultivation level is within the rules, he is certain to be of great use in the Central Ruins Battle . His background isn’t important in this case . We can always analyze him after the Central Ruins Battle is over . ”
“Hmph . He may be strong, but can he compare to my older brother?” Dong Xueyan said .
“Hehe, the crown prince is starting to figure out the realm of Divine Sovereign . Naturally, he cannot be mentioned in the same breath as an average Divine King,” Dong Jiukui replied with a smile . “However, the Central Ruins Battle isn’t won by a single person, and… the crown prince is certainly improving swiftly, but the West Ruins Realm… can’t be underestimated at all . ”
“Moreover, this particular Central Ruins Battle is…” Dong Jiukui paused as if he was hesitating about something, but in the end he continued and said, “There is an even more important reason the sect master must defeat the West Ruins Realm in the Central Ruins Battle no matter what: The Southern Phoenix Divine Country . ”
“?” Dong Xueyan shot him a sideways look and asked, “What does this have to do with the Southern Phoenix Divine Country?”
Among the Five Nether Ruins, the Southern Ruins Realm was the weakest of them all . They had always placed last in the Central Ruins Battle, and they showed no signs of emergence whatsoever .
“I heard that Nanhuang Chanyi’s the one who’ll be leading the Southern Phoenix Divine Country this time, not Nanhuang Jun . ”
“Her?” Dong Xuenyan’s eyebrows twitched immediately when she heard this name . Even the temperature in her eyes had dropped by several degrees . “What right does she have to lead the Southern Phoenix Divine Country? Has the Southern Ruins Realm declined this far?”
Her scathing remark and the emotion she failed to hide from her face made it clear that she was very jealous of this Nanhuang Chanyi .
Women were quite prone to jealousy . An average-looking woman would be jealous of a good-looking woman, and a good-looking woman would be jealous of someone even better looking than they were… Moreover, the further down the spectrum one went, the greater the level of jealousy became .
Dong Xueyan was the famous Princess Yan of the East Ruins Realm . She was revered by all, and her beauty was one of a kind… However, if she were to stand next to Nanhuang Chanyi, then her limelight would disappear instantly . No one would even favor her with a glance .
Nanhuang Chanyi was the ninety-ninth princess of the Southern Phoenix Divine Country, a force in the South Ruins Realm . Even an ordinary child would know that the Southern Phoenix Princess was the prettiest woman in all five realms .
No one had managed to dethrone her since she was fifteen years old .
“It’s because Nanhuang Chanyi is no longer just a normal princess,” Dong Jiukui said . “Half a month ago, Nanhuang Jun ousted his own crown prince and bestowed the position on Nanhuang Chanyi instead . Now, she is the Crown Princess of the Southern Phoenix Divine Country . ”
“What!?” Dong Xueyan exclaimed in surprise . She couldn’t understand the decision at all .
“It’s a rumor no one could believe when they heard it, until… Xueyan, do you know who the supervisor and witness of this Central Ruins Battle are?”
“Is it… not the Venerable Hidden Mirror anymore?”
“This time, it’s the Venerable Hidden Sword,” Dong Jiukui replied .
“ . . . ” A moment later, Dong Xueyan abruptly came to realization and blurted, “Could it be…”
“That’s right . ” Dong Jiukui nodded with a sigh . A trace of envy could be sensed in it . “He’ll be bringing Beihan Chu with him . ”
Beihan (Northern Chill) was the realm king sect of the North Ruins Realm . It was also the strongest sect and surname in the Five Nether Ruins!
Dong Xueyan clenched her teeth and her fists unconsciously . Right now, her emotions were a mix of one third jealousy, one third reluctance, and everything else anxiety . Suddenly, she understood why her father placed so much importance in this year’s Central Ruins Battle .
“Obviously, Beihan Chu’s the one who wants to ‘supervise’ this battle, not the Venerable Hidden Sword . Seeing as he went so far as to persuade both the Venerable Hidden Mirror and the Venerable Hidden Sword to give in, he clearly isn’t coming just to watch the show . He’s aiming for Nanhuang Chanyi! Everyone knows that he’s been infatuated with her since back then . ”
“Nanhuang Jun must’ve received some sort of hint from the other side . That’s why he replaced his own crown prince with Nanhuang Chanyi so urgently, and let her represent the South Ruins Realm in the Central Ruins Battle . ”
“Therefore, Beihan Chu will most likely propose a marriage to Nanhuang Chanyi during the Central Ruins Battle, and the Southern Phoenix Divine Country will of course accept it . This means that the Southern Phoenix Divine Country will be connected by marriage with Northern Chill City, and receive the protection of the Nine Lights Heavenly Palace due to Beihan Chu! Even if their overall strength is still inferior to ours, their reputation and status will exceed us and the West Ruins Realm!”
“If we are then defeated by the West Ruins Realm in the Central Ruins Battle, we’ll place last in the Five Nether Ruins . The sect master would rather die than suffer this indignity . ”
