Chapter 1697: Four Divine Masters, Gathered!

Qiao Anshan's pupils contracted sharply, and his head buzzed as if it had exploded.

Another Divine Master realm expert!

If so, wouldn't the number of Divine Masters in Tianying Imperial City be the same as in Zhining Imperial City?

Qiao Anshan stared fixedly at Leng Yu above the martial tower, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Since when did Divine Masters become as common as cabbages?

Overnight, Tianying had gained two more Divine Masters!

"This... this is impossible! Leng Yu wasted over a hundred thousand years; he's long past his prime. How could he break through to the Divine Master realm?"

"If one was just lucky, what about two? This... this is too absurd!"

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

...

On the Zhining side, everyone was stunned speechless.

Leng Yu's breakthrough brought them too great a shock.

For the Divine Lord realm experts of the Ten Cities of Lingnan, the Divine Master realm was like an insurmountable chasm.

How many Divine Lord realm experts were there in the Ten Cities of Lingnan?

No one knew!

But the total number of Divine Lord experts across the ten cities was only a meager twenty or thirty.

Such a breakthrough ratio was almost despair-inducing.

So, no matter how talented Leng Yu, Zheng Qi, or Ning Tianping were, before the threshold of the Divine Master realm, it was an unclimbable mountain!

In ordinary times, it was rare for even one person from the Ten Cities of Lingnan to break through to the Divine Master realm in ten thousand years.

But today, two had broken through at once!

The Inspector's eyes flickered, and a storm raged in his heart.

With his insight, he could naturally tell that Zheng Qi had also broken through not long ago.

Now, Tianying Imperial City had another breakthrough!

What was going on today?

Could it be... just a coincidence?

"Elder Ye Yuan, mighty!"

"Elder Ye Yuan, mighty!"

"Elder Ye Yuan, mighty!"

...

Just as the Inspector and the experts of Zhining Imperial City were stunned, a thunderous roar rose from below.

Coincidence?

How could it be!

After the initial shock, the experts of Tianying Imperial City quickly came to their senses.

Zheng Qi's and Leng Yu's breakthroughs were no accident!

All of this was thanks to Elder Ye Yuan!

In the past, they would have thought it was nonsense.

Could a four-star初级 Divine Pill Master control the breakthrough of a Divine Master realm expert?

That was utterly ridiculous!

But now, no one doubted it!

Over the past ten years, Ye Yuan had created countless miracles on his own.

Many old fossils who had long been unable to break through had, under Ye Yuan's fourth-grade divine pills, rejuvenated and made breakthroughs.

So they had reason to believe that today's miracle was due to Elder Ye Yuan, not some coincidence.

The Inspector shuddered and looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

He now realized that this young man, only at the first level of the Divine Lord realm, was actually the Grand Elder of Tianying Imperial City!

What did that mean?

Either Zuo Shujie had lost his mind, or this kid had extraordinary abilities!

Obviously, Zuo Shujie couldn't have lost his mind, so... the answer was clear.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how Ye Yuan had controlled the breakthroughs of two Divine Masters.

He never thought of pills—a Divine Lord first level refining the Supreme Jade Void Pill?

Was that a joke?

"Hahaha... Qiao Anshan, now Tianying also has four Divine Masters! Let's see how you can still be arrogant!" Zuo Shujie laughed loudly.

Among the Ten Cities of Lingnan, Tianying was at the bottom in strength.

As its city lord, he had always kept a low profile.

Today, he could finally hold his head high.

With two Divine Masters born in a single day, Tianying Imperial City's strength would instantly soar to the forefront.

Qiao Anshan's face was extremely grim; this sudden change caught him off guard.

Hearing the shouts below, his heart also trembled violently.

Could it be that Zheng Qi's and Leng Yu's breakthroughs were indeed due to Ye Yuan?

He snorted coldly and said, "Zuo Shujie, don't be arrogant! The Golden Sword Alliance is a life-and-death battle. Can two newly broken Divine Masters change the outcome?"

Zuo Shujie ignored him and laughed at Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, you actually did it! You deserve the most credit for this battle!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I set up some measures in the martial tower, which delayed me a bit. Fortunately, it wasn't too late."

Zuo Shujie's eyes narrowed, sensing something unusual in Ye Yuan's words.

Why did Leng Yu's breakthrough have to be inside the martial tower?

It seemed... there was something to it!

Qiao Anshan couldn't stand still. He gritted his teeth and braced himself to say to the Inspector, "Inspector, I beg you to start the Golden Sword Alliance immediately!"

Although Leng Yu and Zheng Qi had just broken through to the Divine Master realm, a Divine Master was still a Divine Master!

If it really became four against four, the variables would be too great.

However, the Inspector's face turned cold, and he said sternly, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

Qiao Anshan was startled and quickly said, "I... I wouldn't dare!"

The Inspector snorted coldly, "Better not! Once a breakthrough begins, that person is one of us! The Golden Sword Alliance is a major event; how can it be treated lightly? If we start the alliance now, do you want everyone to point fingers at me? Hmm?"

Qiao Anshan broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly said he dared not.

The Inspector said coldly, "If this matter gets back to the imperial capital, do you think I can continue as Inspector? Or do you want me to favor Zhining Imperial City and slaughter everyone in Tianying?"

Qiao Anshan was drenched in sweat, not even having time to wipe it, and quickly said, "I... I was wrong! I was just... momentarily anxious and offended you. Please forgive me!"

The Inspector said coldly, "Step back! After his breakthrough, the Golden Sword Alliance will begin immediately!"

Qiao Anshan dared not say another word and retreated to the side, not even daring to fart.

Time passed minute by minute, and the spiritual energy gradually dissipated.

But the aura on Leng Yu grew stronger and stronger.

"Hahaha... I never thought! I never thought this old man would have a day to break through to the Divine Master realm!"

After breaking through, Leng Yu laughed heartily, his voice echoing through heaven and earth.

Four hundred years ago, he was trapped in the spatial inheritance and couldn't escape.

At that time, he never dreamed that he would one day break through to the Divine Master realm.

This was something he hadn't even dared to dream of in over a hundred thousand years.

But today, Ye Yuan had helped him achieve it.

Whoosh!

Leng Yu took a step, crossing ten thousand zhang in an instant, and landed directly beside Ye Yuan.

"Hahaha, the Supreme Jade Void Pill is truly miraculous! Ye Yuan, this old man owes you a debt he can never repay in this lifetime!" Leng Yu laughed and said to Ye Yuan.

Suddenly, feeling the powerful pressure from the Inspector, Leng Yuan's expression changed, and he bowed respectfully, "Tianying Leng Yu, greets the Inspector!"

The Inspector nodded slightly and said, "Mm, since you have broken through, the Golden Sword Alliance will begin immediately!"
