Chapter 479: Don’t Take It Out On The Disciples
Black Old Daoist had wanted to argue back a few more words, but just as he opened his mouth, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Some of them were people who had stood on the stage when the Dao Debate Conference first began.

“This Fellow Daoist has an uncommon bearing and a dignified face. May we have the honor of making your acquaintance?”

“Fellow Daoist not only has an impressive cultivation level, even your looks are impressive. Truly enviable!”

“Fellow Daoist…”

Several people surrounded Ancestor Sui Bian and praised him over and over, pushing Black Old Daoist right out of the circle.

Ancestor Sui Bian looked confused, but he kept a smile on his face and answered them modestly.

It was not until the Sect Masters of the various sects began to ask roundabout questions about Yu Zhao that he finally understood their nasty intentions. His face darkened at once, and his answers became very perfunctory.

Senior Qun Fang noticed this and quickly spoke up to steer the topic away. After this happened a few times, the people who came to pry for news finally gave up and left, looking unhappy.

Ancestor Sui Bian muttered under his breath, “These people actually dare to scheme about Yu Zhao right in front of this Ancestor. How hateful.”

Yu Zhao was an outstanding disciple of their Five Elements Dao Sect.

They could not let anyone else steal her away.

Senior Qun Fang comforted him: “It is not like you don’t know Yu Zhao’s temper. She will not leave.”

“Of course.”

Ancestor Sui Bian sounded firm, but in his heart he still felt a little weak.

The Middle World was completely different from the Lesser Thousand World they had lived in before. It had richer resources, more chances, and could give far more help than they had ever imagined.

If Yu Zhao could join a sect in the Middle World, her future path of cultivation would be much smoother, and her future would be limitless.

There was really no need for her to be like these old guys, pouring all her heart and energy into reconnecting with the Cultivation World.

If he could be more open minded and have a higher state of mind, he should let Yu Zhao go and chase after her own Dao, instead of tying her to them, a bunch of old men, and sinking together into this whirlpool with no end in sight.

He looked up at the huge screen hanging in the sky. For a moment, countless thoughts surged through his mind like a tide.

…

Four Void Realm.

Yu Zhao was sitting with her eyes closed in meditation.

Suddenly, a faint buzzing sound slipped into her ears.

Without even lifting her eyelids, she casually reached out with two fingers and twisted hard in the air.

In an instant, a strange wave of spirit power rippled through the air.

Yu Zhao opened her eyes, looked around, and thoughtfully rubbed her chin.

No wonder she had run into more cultivators today. It turned out that the range of the Four Void Realm had shrunk to one tenth of its original size. The chance of running into other cultivators had naturally gone way up.

Yu Zhao stood up and curled her fingers into a fist, feeling the power in her body. The corners of her lips lifted slightly.

After she absorbed four Dao intent clones in a row, the state of this body was already almost the same as her true body outside.

The only difference was that in the real world, spirit power flowed through her meridians, while here it was her extremely pure Dao intent.

She tapped her toes lightly and her whole body shot forward, flying more than ten zhang away in one move.

Yu Zhao nodded in satisfaction. It was time to test how strong this body was inside the Four Void Realm.

Yu Zhao flew forward for several hundred li. In the open gray-white world, she spotted a huge boulder rolling along the path at a glance.

Her eyebrows rose slightly.

She had met an old acquaintance. No, it should be an old rock.

Its whole body was dark, its surface rough, its edges sharp.

When the rock saw Yu Zhao, a crack split open on its surface. A strange “rock mouth” opened and closed wide as it shouted, “Yu Zhao? How are you a person?”

Yu Zhao did not waste a single word. She simply raised her fist and smashed it hard toward the boulder.

The rock did not dodge. It even let out a harsh, weird laugh.

“Like an egg smashing…”

However, before it could finish the sentence, a huge force fell with a roar, wrapped in a gust of wind.

In an instant, the once expressionless rock surface seemed to show a look of near terror.

Before that look could settle, its inside exploded with a bang, turning into countless small fragments of stone that scattered out and then vanished before they even hit the ground.

Yu Zhao pulled back her hand, lightly patted the back of it, and kept walking forward in big strides.

After that, she ran into cultivators more and more often, and it did not take much time to knock them out of the realm.

When she met a troublesome opponent, Yu Zhao would even hold back a bit, using the chance to carefully study their Dao intent.

Another day passed.

The Four Void Realm had shrunk to less than one thousandth of its original size.

The disciples of all the sects taking part in the Dao Debate Conference had gathered into the same area and had started to form groups.

Cultivators like Yu Zhao, who fought alone, naturally became their main targets.

But very soon, they realized they had made a big mistake.

Yu Zhao looked like she was alone, but in truth she was unfathomable.

The way she fought made people wonder if she was even using Dao intent to fight at all.

Because of this, many people she knocked out of the realm did the same thing first after they woke up in the real world: they went to report Yu Zhao for cheating.

Yu Zhao did not know she had caused so much anger. At this moment, she had finally met a really tricky opponent.

“Lu Jiu Yuan of Qingxu Sect.”

“Yu Zhao, representing Lingyin Sect.”

“So you are the Yu Zhao who defeated Du Wu Xiang? No wonder he lost to you. He did not lose unfairly.”

Lu Jiu Yuan played with the folding fan in his hand. A special light flashed in his deep blue eyes.

“You flatter me.”

Yu Zhao looked calm on the surface, but inside she was already on high alert.

Among all the people she had met in the Four Void Realm, Lu Jiu Yuan’s will was the most solid, almost no weaker than hers.

Barring accidents, he was the sure first place of this Dao Debate Conference.

“Look, Yu Zhao and Lu Jiu Yuan are facing each other!”

“My god, they met this early. Does that mean one of them will get kicked out ahead of time?”

“Why are you all so confident in Yu Zhao? No matter how strong she is, she is only at the early Divine Transformation stage. Lu Jiu Yuan is at the early Void Refining stage. She can’t compare.”

“You are talking about their levels outside. Right now they are in the Four Void Realm. Yu Zhao has four full Dao intent clones. How can that be the same thing?”

Outside.

Because Yu Zhao and Lu Jiu Yuan had met, everyone became excited.

They had all thought Lu Jiu Yuan would be the uncontested first place, but then Yu Zhao had appeared halfway through.

They had watched with their own eyes as Yu Zhao cut her way here, slicing through opponents like chopping vegetables.

No one dared to say for sure who would win between the two.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

There was always an exception.

“Yu Zhao will definitely win!”

Ancestor Sui Bian said this and even poked the man beside him who was built like an iron tower. “Elder Tie Shan, don’t you agree?”

Elder Tie Shan gave a heavy snort and turned to glare at two disciples standing there with drooping heads.

The two disciples who had been knocked out by Yu Zhao wished they could shove their heads into their chests. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“Sigh, don’t take it out on your disciples. After all, no one has any way to deal with Yu Zhao if they run into her. Those two were just unlucky.”
