Take It or Leave It

Damn it.

What's going on?

I don't even have a disciple yet, and one trouble after another keeps coming!

Yi Feng scratched his head in frustration.

It's truly infuriating!

Completely exasperated, he returned home and fell asleep.

Time.

Flew by in an instant.

Before he knew it, it was the day of the grand banquet at the Heavenly Array Pavilion.

At this moment, the Heavenly Array Pavilion was packed with guests, as arraysmiths from various factions across the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent had gathered here.

To accommodate these guests, the Heavenly Array Pavilion, being the premier sect of the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, had set up a staggering one hundred thousand tables of feasting.

In the center of the banquet area, a large empty space was reserved.

Anyone with eyes could tell that something significant was about to happen there.

It was an event rarely seen in history—a duel between two eighth-rank arraysmiths!

Seeing all the experts of the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent gathered here, Li Yinglian, lurking in the shadows, curled his lips into a smile.

This time.

It was a golden opportunity for the Heavenly Array Pavilion to firmly grasp control over the entire Heavenly Array Immortal Continent.

At the same time, it was also a chance for him, Li Yinglian, to truly establish his authority.

"Hmph!"

"This time, let me show you who truly calls the shots in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, whose prestige should be the highest!"

With a cold smile, Li Yinglian soared into the air and flew toward the central plaza.

"Greetings, Master Li Yinglian."

"Greetings, Elder Li."

"The aura of an eighth-rank arraysmith is indeed terrifying."

Perhaps they weren't particularly impressed before, but now that they were here, they had to put on the proper demeanor.

And no matter what, Li Yinglian was still an eighth-rank arraysmith.

Before the arrival of the one from Tianlun City, he was the only pinnacle figure in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent.

So as Li Yinglian made his appearance, everyone stood up and bowed in greeting.

"Thank you all for coming."

"I won't waste any more words. Enjoy yourselves."

"There are two matters: one is the sparring match between me and another master!"

The other is that after the sparring, I will take a promising young talent as my closed-door disciple.

Li Yinglian got straight to the point, not wasting any words.

"I wonder if that other master has arrived yet?"

His sharp gaze swept across the crowd, speaking with profound meaning.

And the others were also searching around.

"Would he not show up?"

"Yeah, if he doesn't come, aren't we all wasting our time?"

"I don't think so. Given his boldness in breaking the Heavenly Demon Formation, he wouldn't avoid a fight."

"Exactly, there's an unwritten rule in our continent: avoiding a sparring match at the same level is equivalent to admitting defeat. Even if he's low-profile, he should care about his reputation, right?"

Various discussions filled the air.

But no one knew if he had arrived or not, as very few people had actually seen him or knew his true identity.

At this moment, Li Yinglian's voice, infused with immortal energy, boomed out again.

"Whether he's here or not, I will wait until tonight."

"The outcome of this sparring match will be decided right here in this empty space..."

As he spoke.

He waved his hand.

In an instant, the central empty space lit up with dazzling light, and countless intricate talismans appeared, revealing an aura of deadly danger.

"Sss!"

"What a terrifying formation."

"Just one glance makes me dare not approach."

"That aura... I'm afraid anyone who steps in would be doomed!"

Seeing the formation rise in the empty space, everyone was shocked and speechless.

Even those who weren't particularly fond of Li Yinglian couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the sight of this formation. An eighth-rank arraysmith is indeed an eighth-rank arraysmith!

"Not bad!"

"What you see here is the Immortal Slaying Formation, personally laid out by me!"

"The outcome of this sparring match will depend on this formation."

"If he can enter the formation and successfully exit within three days, I lose."

"If he can't get out, I win."

"But let me say this in front of everyone: once you step in, life and death are no longer guaranteed!"

With that.

Li Yinglian moved his body and landed on a high platform nearby, waiting for Yi Feng's arrival.

The others also eagerly anticipated Yi Feng's arrival.
