254: Lan Ling Ji reappears

Everyone from the Star Profound Palace was shocked, including the speaking Elder. With his strength at the seventh stage of the Entering Profound Realm, he felt unable to block this strike!

"Ice Shield!" A massive Ice Shield formed, blocking the Star Profound Palace members.

*Bang!!!* "Ah..."

An Elder from the Ice God Palace intervened to block Jiang Ye's attack, but the power of the strike was still too immense. It shattered the Ice Shield, and a significant amount of residual force slammed into the members of the Star Profound Palace, leaving all of them seriously injured!

Jiang Ye looked towards the Ice God Palace Elder, his eyes cold, and asked, "Is your Ice God Palace intent on stopping me?"

The Ice God Palace Elder replied, "The Palace rules dictate this; we have no choice!"

"Is that so? Does that mean if I want to destroy the Star Profound Palace, I must first destroy your Ice God Palace?"

The Star Profound Palace Elder cursed, "You ant, you will surely die! Not a single person in your family will be left alive."

At this moment, an Elder from the Sword God Palace loudly said to Azure Dragon, "You are a Sword Cultivator, and joining our Sword God Palace is the best choice. If you agree, I can now step in and spar with the Elders of the Ice God Palace."

"Hmm?" Everyone was shocked! His meaning was clear: he intended to hold back the Ice God Palace Elder, allowing Jiang Ye to kill the members of the Star Profound Palace.

Azure Dragon loudly agreed, "Good! I will join the Sword God Palace."

*Clang!!!* A massive Sword Intent swept across the entire venue! The Sword God Palace Elder drew his long sword.

"Elders of the Ice God Palace, it has been a long time since my Sword God Palace sparred with you all. If you are interested, let's fight!"

The Ice God Palace Elder said, "Elder Jinjian, I know I am not your opponent, so let's skip the sparring!"

"What!" The Star Profound Palace Elder was terrified. "You cannot stand idly by, or your Old Ancestor will not let you off lightly!"

The terrifying Power of Thunder surged once again from the Lightning Spear in Jiang Ye's hand, blasting directly towards the members of the Star Profound Palace!

"Overlord Shakes Heaven!! Die!"

"You..." The members of the Star Profound Palace watched in terror as Jiang Ye attacked.

*Boom!!!* Jiang Ye's thunderous strike instantly killed everyone, including the Star Profound Palace Elder at the seventh stage of the Entering Profound Realm!

Immediately after, Jiang Ye revealed another surprising idea and asked Elder Lei, "Elder Lei, I want to know if I can gain entry to the Thunder Pool of the Thunder God Palace within one month?"

"Hmm?" Thunder Leopard was startled, sensing something was wrong. "What are you planning?"

"I urgently need to become stronger. If your Thunder God Palace cannot help me, then I will have to find another path!"

Thunder Leopard said, "It is impossible for a new Disciple who just joined the Thunder God Palace to enter the Thunder Pool within a month!"

Immediately, Jiang Ye took out the Thunder God Palace Elite Disciple Token, threw it back to Thunder Leopard, and respectfully bowed to him.

"My apologies! I'm afraid I cannot join the Thunder God Palace."

Thunder Leopard frowned deeply, looking at Jiang Ye. "One year! Wait for one year, and I will definitely find a way for you to enter the Thunder Pool."

"Apologies!" Jiang Ye cupped his hands again.

"The people of the Star Profound Palace will certainly not let you go. If you don't join a powerful faction, I'm afraid you will be in great danger."

Jiang Ye said, "I have decided to join the Vajra Gate!"

"What! You... what conditions did they give you?"

At this moment, a voice came from the direction of the Vajra Gate, "My Vajra Gate will grant him unlimited access to the Gravity Training Ground!"

Thunder Leopard instantly became furious: "Man Tian! You personally came here to poach someone from my Thunder God Palace?"

Man Tian, the Vice Sect Master of the Vajra Gate, said, "There is no such thing as poaching. I simply don't want you to hold him back! He didn't even know about the existence of my Vajra Gate's Gravity Training Ground before, and now you can't give him what he wants, so why hinder his growth?"

Thunder Leopard hadn't expected Man Tian to personally make a move. It seemed Man Tian must have received intelligence that the Thunder God Palace was unaware of, indicating that Jiang Ye had even greater potential than he had guessed.

Thunder Leopard continued speaking to Jiang Ye, "Half a year! If you just wait half a year, I guarantee you entry into the Thunder Pool!"

"Thank you, Elder Lei, for your generosity. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely join the Thunder God Palace. But right now, I have compelling reasons and must become stronger in a short amount of time."

"Alas! It's truly a pity that you Cultivate this Thunder Law and won't join my Thunder God Palace!" Thunder Leopard reluctantly returned to his seat.

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Ye's decision. He just casually discarded the status of an Elite Disciple of one of the Super Profound Domain's Four Great Divine Palaces!

Finally, the first place in the Selection Competition was taken by a masked female Martial Artist, just as the Ice God Palace was feeling smug.

The female Martial Artist suddenly said, "I want to join the Vajra Gate!"

"What?" Everyone froze, staring at her! Even the people from the Vajra Gate couldn't understand why she would join their faction.

Immediately, the female Martial Artist removed her mask, and Jiang Ye, Shi Feng, and Shi Bao were all stunned simultaneously!

"Holy sh*t!" Jiang Ye and Shi Bao, standing side by side, exclaimed in unison!

Shi Bao said, "How long has it been since you two talked? Her choosing to join the Vajra Gate clearly means she came for you!"

Jiang Ye was speechless. "What do I do now?"

"Figure it out yourself!"

The Ice God Palace Elder said, "Young Lady, you Cultivate an Ice-Attribute Cultivation Technique. My Ice God Palace is the most suitable faction for you."

Man Tian said, "Young Lady, my Vajra Gate doesn't want to hold you back. The Ice God Palace is indeed your best choice."

"You won't accept me?" Lan Lingji asked.

"My Vajra Gate is mostly male Disciples. It truly isn't very suitable for you."

"Hmph! Then I'll join the Sword God Palace. My sword skills are pretty good too!"

The Ice God Palace Elder asked, "Why won't you join the Ice God Palace? What exactly is the reason?"

"Ice God Palace? Hmph! That slutty Saintess of yours seduced my man while I was in seclusion and wasn't paying attention. I'll kill her sooner or later!"

These words were like a heaven-shaking thunderclap, exploding in everyone's minds! The Ice God Palace Saintess stole her man? It was widely known that their Saintesses were all meant to marry into the Star Profound Palace—this situation was about to become serious!

"Young Lady! You cannot speak carelessly."

Lan Lingji said disdainfully, "I'm speaking carelessly? Go back and ask your Saintess if she dares to confront me face-to-face!"

"You... do you know what the consequences will be for ruining the reputation of my Ice God Palace Saintess like this?"

"You'll know once you go back and ask, no need to try and scare me here! Sword God Palace, do you dare to accept me?"

The Sword God Palace Elder said, "We accept!"

Lan Lingji then walked towards the area occupied by the Sword God Palace, sat down in a seat, and then looked in Jiang Ye's direction.

Jiang Ye felt a sudden chill run through his body when he saw Lan Lingji looking his way!

Shi Bao asked, "Ye Zai, which of the two women will you choose?"

"I... I don't know! They both have their merits, but this is truly troublesome now! I estimate the news that I 'handled' Wu Linglong will spread throughout the Super Profound Domain very quickly."

"In that case, you should just enter seclusion as soon as you reach the Vajra Gate. Otherwise, even if the Ice God Palace doesn't come after you, Lan Lingji definitely won't let you off!"

"Sigh! I thought she genuinely didn't care about these things and was off having fun with other men. Who knew she would show up here again, and for some reason, I can't see through her Realm at all."
