Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 176

Yan Chutian immediately recognized Qiu Yu's identity when he felt a familiar aura and a unique sense of familiarity. Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder that he could vaguely sense the change in Mu Wan's aura even as he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Perhaps it was at that moment that Qiu Yu's consciousness finally broke through Mu Wan's suppression and regained control of this body.

While Yan Chutian was still in a daze, Qiu Yu suddenly lowered his gentle body and looked at Yan Chutian. His reddish lips opened and a trace of hidden danger slowly came out.

"What, you don't want me out?"

"No, no .. Of course not!"

Hearing this, Yan Chutian repeatedly shook her head and denied it. He knew very well the consequences of offending Qiu Yu. Without a doubt, even if he dared to hesitate for a moment, Qiu Yu's unruly temperament would soon change.

Seeing that he replied very quickly and was in a cross-legged state in search of a breakthrough, Qiu Yu ended up doing nothing and just said gently, "That's good."

Saying this, she slightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked towards the Northern Region, where her spirit was low. Finally, his gaze was fixed on Shilong, who was about to fight Yan Chutian in the fifth round. He said nonchalantly, "How? Are you confident to fight it? If you really can't, I might be able to help you secretly."

Although Qiu Yu and Mu Wan were one body, to be exact, he was much stronger than Mu Wan. The things he knew and could use were countless again. Even as his consciousness continued to recover, Mu Wan could still share some of his memories. However, compared to what he actually held, it was only a drop of water in the ocean.

Therefore, Qiu Yu dared to say that he would secretly help Yan Chutian in such an opportunity because he was very confident in his own abilities. Even if the Elders watching were stronger than him, he could still deceive them.

But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Yan Chutian shake his head. Yan Chutian still had the same thought in his mind. Letting Qiu Yu use that ability without restraint completely weighed on Mu Wan's body.

Moreover, he was certain that there were minions from the Heaven Realm hiding in the Central Plains. If Mu Wan used this ability and was discovered, then both of them would be in a very dangerous situation.

After all, after all, the two of them were only in the Elixir Realm.

However, despite this, Yan Chutian would not say it out loud. Instead, he said, "Not necessary. My Senior brother, there is no need to act against the Holy Son of the northern region alone. My strength is more than enough!"

Yan Chutian's intimate words suddenly made Qiu Yu's face flushed red. After a moment of embarrassment, he said with a snort, "Hmph, then be careful. Don't fool yourself when the time comes!"

"Ha ha …"

Yan Chutian also laughed softly. Then, he closed his eyes again. He was still gathering spiritual energy for a breakthrough, and he was almost at the end of the boundary. He just didn't know if he could be on time for the fifth round of the competition.

At the same time, the commotion caused by Qiu Yu's victory continued to spread among the crowd. No one expected that the southern region would win this round again. As a result, the southern region took the lead. The two Holy Sons had advanced to the next round, whereas the northern region only had one.

"How did this happen? I am the proud Holy Son of the north. Don't tell me I can't suppress the southern region, which has been fighting on the verge of death ?!"

"The result is definitely not like this. This time, the southern region must have been lucky. The remaining two rounds will definitely be won by our northern Holy Son. He will beat the other two in the next round tomorrow!"

"That's right. How could the Northern Region's Holy Son lose to someone from the southern region!"

The side of the Holy Son of the southern region was furious. None of the southern region disciples expected that Qiu Yu would actually defeat the northern region's Holy Son. As a result, as long as the southern region's Holy Son won one more round in the next two rounds, they would be able to suppress the northern region in terms of points!

As a result, the fourth round was decisive. Even the elders from the northern and southern regions, as well as Zhu Yun, set their sights on the two people who were about to enter the arena.

The opponent of the southern region was the black-robed Holy Son, Shen Kong. Very little news about him spread to the outside world, and every time he did, it was not sensationalism. Rather, it was the actual result of the battle. As a result, he was able to secure his position as the top Holy Son early on.

Shen Kong's opponent was a pale-faced man like a skeleton. However, none of the disciples dared to ridicule him because he was the number one Holy Son in the northern region, Hong Gu, just like Luo Xue.

"Sacred Son Hong Gu, defeat that southern region disciple!"

"Do it, Holy Son Hong Gu!"

"…"

As soon as Hong Gu entered the arena, an incomparably enthusiastic cheer sounded from the northern side of the territory. Even the elders in the northern region who had locked their eyes on him showed expressions of satisfaction in the eyes.

This was because it was completely unable to find fault with Hong Gu. At the same time, they also believed that there would be no tension in this battle. This was because ever since he entered the sect, he had never lost a battle.

Just from this point alone, he was similar to Yan Chutian.

After the cheers subsided, Hong Gu looked at Shen Kong with his same pale eyes and said something that caused an uproar among the southern region disciples.

"You .. doesn't suit me."

As soon as these words were spoken, although the southern region disciples agreed that Hong Gu was scary, they still roared furiously. No matter how strong you are, it has not even started the battle to come to a conclusion. You look down on us, Holy Son of the southern region.

While the southern region disciples were in an uproar, Shen Kong's expression was calm. He slowly took off his black robe and looked at Hong Gu with a pair of extremely indifferent eyes. He also slowly said, "Maybe I'm no match for you, but in the end, we still have to fight to determine the winner."

Hearing this, Hong Gu said nothing. He only moved his body slightly and a pitch-white aura quickly revolved around his body, enveloping his body. Vaguely, there seemed to be ghost-like wails and wolf-like howls spreading out, causing people to tremble in fear.

As Hong Gu moved, Shen Kong's expression also became solemn. It could even be said that he became serious. Against Hong Gu, even he did not have the slightest confidence that he could win.

Fierce fighting quickly ensued. After an unknown period of time, the battle gradually ended. When the battle ended, Hong Gu's majestic body did not move, but Shen Kong's stable body suddenly shook. Following this, a trail of pitch-white hands slowly appeared on his back and slowly disappeared.

This situation has already announced the results. Hong Gu has defeated Shen Kong!

"You are not my match …"

Hong Gu's cold voice sounded once again. It was as if there was not the slightest bit of emotion within it as if he was simply stating a fact. After defeating Shen Kong and saying such words, the commotion caused by Hong Gu was simply shocking. No more commotion.

Not to mention the excited and cheering Northern Region disciples, even many Southern Region disciples were shocked. They had no choice but to admit that Hong Gu was extremely strong from the bottom of their hearts. Hong Gu is very strong. If Qiu Yu or Luo Xue were to fight against him, what chance would they have of winning?

Looking at the victorious Hong Gu from the corner of her eyes, Qiu Yu's beautiful face became solemn. Hong Gu's strength was probably the strongest in the entire Tianji Sect. Even Luo Xue might not be her match. Even if he fought against her now, if he did not use all his strength, he could not guarantee that he would win.

However, now was not the time to worry about this. The fourth battle had ended and the next battle should belong to Yan Chutian. Right now, Yan Chutian was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Hence, he could only try his best not to disturb Yan Chutian's state. She whispered to him, "Yan Chutian, the fifth battle is about to start …"

Before Qiu Yu finished speaking, Yan Chutian opened his eyes. At this moment, he had yet to break through. His cultivation seemed to be stuck at a critical point to break through. This caused Yan Chutian to sigh helplessly. It seemed that even heaven did not want him to fight peacefully. They have to create tension.

Finally, the fifth battle on the stage arrived. The gazes of many disciples were fixed on Yan Chutian and Shilong. The Northern Region disciples were naturally very confident in Shilong. Even if Shilong was not the best Holy Son, he was still in the top three and was extremely strong.

Compared to the beliefs of the Northern Region disciples, the Southern Region disciples did not think that Yan Chutian had much hope. After all, according to everyone, Yan Chutian had spent all of his strength to defeat the Northern Region's Holy Son yesterday.
