DEATH

CHAPTER 701 - NEGOTIATIONS

After a round of discussion, no one could come to a decision. After all, in the current Southern Prefecture, other than Nangong Shi, the fighting strength of the rest were lower. Even some of the lower levels of strength in Endless Starfields were not as good as them. On the surface, it seemed that the Spirit Sword Sect and Immortal Sword Sect would be much more powerful with the addition of their members. But at this moment, if only the Spirit Sword Sect and Immortal Sword Sect were to send out their disciples, it would inevitably attract Wu Qi's and his attention.

How about, I'll go. Seeing everyone frown, Luo Cheng slowly said.

Cheng'er, although your strength has skyrocketed after arriving at Endless Starfields, it is still much weaker than the heaven's pride level experts of those powers. If your Bother Shi takes you there, we can still be at ease. But now, your Bother Shi has followed the horse and there has been no news for a year and a half. If you go alone, we won't be able to rest at ease. Furthermore, even if they let him go, he wouldn't be able to stop them from leaving. Perhaps, it might even arouse suspicion."

Hearing that, Murong Li immediately shook her head and said. The brows on her old face tightened even more.

Currently, the disciples of our Southern Prefecture are all relatively weak. Other than the disciples under Wu Qi and Ran Ming, who had relatively high strength, there were no other disciples who were particularly outstanding. Although Feng Hao and Yang De Hua had a good foundation, they had only reached the realm of the real world. If they were to participate in the Large Competition, it would undoubtedly make them laugh their teeth off. In my opinion, how about we send Wu Qi and Ran Ming there? The strength of the two of them, according to what the Palace Chief said before he left, has already reached the Half-step King Sovereign, so they should be able to hold on for a while. Qin Er thought for a while and said.

Miss Qin Er, this suggestion is not bad. However, the two of them are unable to participate. When Ba Tian heard this, he immediately let out a bitter laugh.

Brother Batian, could it be that you've gathered some information? Hearing that, Liu Zixiang immediately asked. Upon seeing this, everyone turned their heads over.

I've just received news that the ranking tournament for the favored children of heaven is a competition for the younger generation. Anyone over a hundred years old couldn't be selected. As for Wu Qi and Ran Ming, they are already over a hundred years old, how could they have the qualifications to participate in such a grand event? " Ba Tian nodded and said bitterly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent. On the path of cultivation, it was not difficult to live for hundreds or even thousands of years. As one's strength increased, one's lifespan would also increase limitlessly. Especially those who had stepped onto the path of a Martial Saint, all of them had a lifespan of over a thousand years. And the people who were present, such as Tyrannical Sky Duanmu, Murong Li, and the others, were also people who had lived for more than a hundred years. He was extremely clear on this point.

Then what should we do? How should I reply Wu Qi and Ran Ming to the main hall tomorrow? If they were to realize that something is amiss, I'm afraid the peace in the Southern Prefecture will be broken soon. Hearing that, Qin Er also became anxious.

There is no need to worry about that. With Bother Shi's avatar here, even if Wu Qi and the others could sense it, they didn't dare to think too much about it. Furthermore, they still have requests from the Bother Shi s, so they would naturally not have any ill intentions right now. Hearing that, Luo Cheng immediately said, and then said out the promise that Nangong Shi had promised Wu Qi and Ran Ming.

Since that's the case, I think we should just tell Wu Qi and Ran Ming that our Southern Prefecture will not participate in this year's Heaven's Pride Ranking Tournament. I believe that the two of them can understand the strength of our Southern Prefecture disciples. Although there were a lot of new blood, their strength was not enough for such a competition. Of course, if the two of them have their own disciples, we don't mind. How about it?" After hearing this, Ba Tian muttered to himself for a moment.

At this point, this is the only way. If the main body of the Bother Shi is here, I'm afraid our Southern Prefecture will have obtained a lot of resources. Luo Cheng helplessly shook his head and said.

Just from this matter alone, we can tell that the middle ranks of our Southern Prefecture is still extremely weak. And if you want us Southern Prefecture disciples to grow quickly, you need a certain amount of time. In my opinion, how about we discuss it with Wu Qi and the others tomorrow and recruit some deacons? The minimum requirement would be the strength of the Divine Stage of Immortal Grade. But of course, the more powerful the better. Qin Er said.

I think it's feasible. When our Southern Prefecture's disciples grow up, even if we don't need several hundred years, it would still take a few decades. And if there is an expert joining us, our Southern Prefecture will not be so passive towards the future. Ba Tian nodded and replied.

I think so too. Murong Li also agreed after pondering for a moment.

Just as Ba Tian and Qin Er finished their discussion, Wu Qi and Ran Ming were also discussing in secret in the room. It was obvious that he was curious about Nangong Shi's abnormal situation today.

Given the Prefecture Lord's strength, he might even be able to take first place in the ranking tournament. Why did the Mansion Lord have a look of difficulty on his face? Brother Wu Qi, what do you think of this matter? Ran Ming said.

Perhaps it is because the Lord Prefect has some misgivings. After all, if the Palace Chief were to participate in the ranking battles, the Southern Prefecture would no longer have a main force of its own. You have also seen that the's disciples are generally of low strength. If it wasn't for the fact that the Martial House Master is too strong and has established his might from the very beginning, he would have probably been swallowed by the other powers long ago. Wu Qi said after pondering for a moment.

We have already been in the Southern Prefecture for more than a year, could it be that the Palace Chief is so cautious of the two of us? If it's really like that, then I, Ran Ming have followed the wrong person! After Ran Ming heard this, he immediately became somewhat warm and angry.

Brother Ran Ming, don't be angry. Didn't the Martial House Master say that he would give us an answer tomorrow after we've discussed this? Let's see what the Lord Prefect decides tomorrow. Wu Qi immediately began to console his.

Forget it. At our ages, there's no reason for us to participate in such a grand event. If it were not for the sake of the disciples below, I would not have mentioned this matter in the hall today. Ran Ming nodded and replied.

Isn't it the same for me? Wu Qi laughed bitterly.

….

Do you really want to do this?

In the Ma Family Village in the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, Elder Ma and the four elders were gathered together. Ma Tu somewhat awkwardly asked.

There's nothing we can do. We thought that after King Sovereign, Hierarch Shen Shi and the other Rankers go into closed door cultivation, the Pride of Heaven's Ranking War would be banned. However, who would have thought that not only would the rewards not be cancelled, but instead increased by so much. If Su'Er was able to obtain the resources from the five clans' faction, she would be able to break through quite a lot. I think, Nangong Shi would not reject such a thing. He would even be grateful to us. Elder Ma nodded helplessly as he replied.

Five immortal artifacts. If Jing Er was able to get one, then his battle prowess would be increased by at least several folds. Alright, since we've decided on this, let's begin. Ma Huo nodded after hearing what he said, then he looked at the four of them and said.

Alright, let's begin. Worse comes to worst, he would just have to compensate Nangong Shi again. This can also be counted as our Ma family betting on him." Old Ma nodded slowly in response. After which, he formed a seal and a golden light shot out.

Seeing this, the other four elders also formed hand seals. They shot out a ray of light and quickly began to merge with each other in midair.

Buzz.

….

CHAPTER 702 - COMPLETION OF SECLUSION

Nangong Shi and Ma Jin, who were inside the cave dwelling of Emperor Ma Yuan, were currently greedily absorbing the spirit energy within the cave, like bamboo shoots sprouting in spring. Old Ma and the four old men suddenly appeared outside his cave abode.

When the five of them arrived in front of the abode, they bowed. Then, a ray of starlight rose from each of them and entered the abode in a flash.

Eh? Wait a little longer, this Nangong Shi is about to have a breakthrough.

Just as Ma Tu was about to go up and wake the two of them up, Old Ma suddenly pulled Ma Tu and said.

Hearing this, Ma Tu stopped and looked at the same time as the other four.

The current Nangong Shi did not notice the appearance of Elder Ma and the others in the slightest, nor was he prepared for anything. It was a good thing that Old Ma and the others only waited silently without taking any action.

After more than an hour had passed, the aura around Nangong Shi's body quickly became denser. The initial hazy image suddenly became sharp and clear.

Crack!

When they heard the crisp sound coming out from Nangong Shi's body, Old Ma and the rest all smiled and nodded their heads. A trace of amazement could be seen in their eyes.

At the same time, Nangong Shi's body flashed with a gold light, and then he suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, Nangong Shi's mind moved, he immediately stood up and turned.

Elder Ma? Four esteemed seniors? " Seeing Old Ma and the rest, Nangong Shi immediately shouted out in surprise.

Since you've already broken through, this is just the right time. It's not that the five of us are here to disturb you, but we need to discuss something with you. Eh? Oh, Nangong, and I'll have to trouble you to wait for us for a moment longer. Elder Ma said when he heard this. Before he finished speaking, he looked at Ma Dong in surprise.

Alright. Although he did not understand what was going on, Nangong Shi still obediently walked over to Old Ma and the others and looked at Ma Jin.

After another hour passed, spiritual light was emitted from Ma Jin's body as well. Then, with a ding sound, Ma Jin's aura changed, and he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that, Nangong Shi also nodded his head, Ma Dong's talent, was indeed powerful. Right now, Ma Dong had already reached the third stage of Divine Stage of Immortal Grade. He was only three levels away from himself.

Grandfather, eh? Five grandfathers, why are all of you here? Elder Brother Nangong, you're awake too? As soon as he woke up, Ma Dong felt something and turned around.

There is one thing that grandpa needs to explain to you. If all of you choose to stay here and cultivate in seclusion after hearing what I've said, we'll leave right now. " Elder Ma said when he heard this.

Grandfather, what happened? When Ma Jin heard this, he also asked in confusion.

Jin, you should have heard of the Pride of Heaven Ranking Tournament, right? Elder Ma said when he heard this.

"The Pride of Heaven Ranking Tournament? Naturally, this grandson knew. Could it be that this proud son of heaven was about to begin the ranking war? Wasn't it rumored that the Pride of the heavens ranking war this time was cancelled? Furthermore, even in the entire Endless Starfields, there are no King Sovereign s, Divine Sovereigns or even Holy Emissaries present. Ma Jin nodded in agreement.

That's right, the Pride of the Heavens is about to begin the ranking war. Moreover, the current date was only half a year away. If you finish your closed-door training, I'm afraid you will miss this selection. So, we think we should come down and discuss it with you. Although the current Endless Starfields does not have any strong practitioners such as the King Sovereign, the Hierarch and the Holy Master, the prideful ones of the heavens are still competing with you, as a member of the younger generation. Those over a hundred years old were all unable to participate. And after a hundred years, your age has also passed."

In this Heaven's Pride Ranking Tournament, a person can only participate once in their entire life. We were also worried that we would miss this chance of yours, which is why we came down here." Elder Ma explained when he heard this.

The Pride of Heaven Ranking Tournament? Elder Ma, is there any meaning to this ranking tournament? Nangong Shi asked, confused.

Nangong, this is a battle between the most talented members of the young generation. What is the pride of the heavens? How could someone who could be called a proud son of heaven be weak? To be able to compete with those of the same age was the wish of many. Not only could it raise one's horizons, it could also discover one's flaws. Not only that, this ranking battle for the top ten was set up by the five transcendent powers. The rewards that have been given are extremely good people. Elder Ma said with a smile.

All the past prodigies, those who were able to enter the top one hundred, all have already entered the ranks of the Divine Sovereign in the King Sovereign. Even if there were some weak points, they had entered the Half-step King Sovereign. Also, the rewards this time are very rich. The top five will be able to obtain an Immortal weapon." Ma Huo added.

A piece of immortal equipment? Grandpa Huo, is what you said true? " When Ma Jin heard this, he was immediately moved.

This is a notice from the five great transcendent powers. How could grandpa lie to you? However, with your strength, it will be difficult for you to enter the top five. Ma Huo sighed.

Grandpa Fire, you're looking down on me again. Ma Jin immediately responded when he heard this.

When Nangong Shi heard this, he began to calculate in his heart. Since the five great clans had announced this, it was clear that a great number of people would come to participate in this ranking war. The Endless Starfields was so big that just from the few continents that he had been to, he could see the panthers in the distance. If he wanted to enter the top five, without a doubt, he would need extremely powerful strength. Although there were no longer King Sovereign, Hierarchy God or even Saint realm experts around, who could be sure that no one's battle prowess could compare to an ordinary King Sovereign?

Take himself for example, an ordinary King Sovereign Ranker, he really did not put them in his eyes. With Ma Dong's current third stage Divine Stage of Immortal Grade, it would be difficult for him to enter the top five.

Foolish child, your strength has risen rapidly in recent years. But this time, you are facing all the participants from the entire Endless Starfields. If he wanted to enter the top five, he would need an extremely strong combat strength. Grandfather doesn't expect you to be able to enter the top five, even if it's the top 100. For you to be able to enter the top one thousand, all of us are extremely satisfied. Elder Ma said with a smile.

Don't worry, grandfather five, Jing Er will definitely not lose face for you! Hearing this, Ma Jin nodded his head resolutely in agreement.

Nangong, are you going to continue cultivating in seclusion, or do you want to choose to participate in this ranking battle? Elder Ma nodded, then looked at Nangong Shi and asked.

Since I was able to come across such a grand occasion, then according to what Elder Ma said, if I don't participate in this once in a lifetime, won't I have a regret in my life? Nangong Shi lightly smiled as his eyes also flickered with streaks of bright light.

Would the top five receive an Immortal weapon? Since that's the case, I, Nangong Shi have come!

….

CHAPTER 703 - JUST IN TIME

Nangong, there's still half a year until the Heaven's Pride Ranking Tournament. Are you going to wait until it's time before leaving, or leave now? Seeing that Nangong Shi had chosen to participate in the Heaven's Pride Ranking Tournament, Old Ma nodded his head slightly and asked.

Let's go out now. My Southern Prefecture also needs to go back and discuss it. Nangong Shi immediately replied. Now that he was not in the Southern Prefecture, there was no one in the Palace who had the strength to participate. Although Wu Qi and Ran Ming were present, but according to what Elder Ma said, those who were over a hundred years of age would not be able to participate in the Heaven's Pride son Ranking Tournament. Moreover, the Southern Prefecture was probably in a state of chaos right now.

In that case, let's head out now. Old Ma nodded his head when he heard this. Then, he gave a slight signal to the other four elders before shooting out another ray of light each and merging with each other.

Buzz.

Following a buzz, Nangong Shi and Ma Jin disappeared from the cave.

Inside the Ma Family Village's house, following the appearance of Elder Ma and the four elders, Nangong Shi and Ma Jin immediately went over.

Elder Ma, this time we entered the Ancestral Land … Nangong Shi cupped his hands and said. In the end, before he could even speak, Elder Ma waved his hand to stop him and said: Wait until the one year deadline has passed after the Pride of the Heavens has ended. You can start once more.

Thank you, Elder Ma! After Nangong Shi heard this, he immediately bowed towards Elder Ma in gratitude.

Elder Brother Nangong, I'll go with you. At that time, the two of us will be together as well. Seeing that Old Ma had promised Nangong Shi that he would be able to return to the ancestral grounds to cultivate, Ma Jin was also surprised, but he did not inquire further.

Alright. Nangong Shi nodded his head, then bowed to Old Ma and the four elders, then he followed Ma Jin out of the village.

I wonder how Jin'er is ranked. Watching Nangong Shi and Ma Jin leave, Elder Ma sighed and said.

With your strength, and the divine abilities left behind by our ancestors, entering the top one thousand shouldn't be too hard. Don't forget, that old fogey is here. Ma Huo said with a smile.

Will it arouse the attention of others if Jing Er uses that old fellow? Ma Mu frowned as he heard this.

It's fine to notice. At most, we five old fellows can just go to Endless Continent. This is the first time our Ma Family has shown our face in front of the world. It all depended on how high one could rank. Right, how many do you think Nangong Shi will be able to enter? Ma Tu said.

You guys have all seen this brat's combat strength. I think entering the top 100 shouldn't be a problem. If one used that axe, it was very possible for one to be in the top 50, or even the top 10. Ma Shui pondered for a moment and said.

Top ten? This prediction of yours is rather high. When everyone heard this, they were all astonished.

Only after leaving the Sky Sun Mountain Range did Nangong Shi and Ma Jin realize that it was already late at night. The pitch-black night sky appeared rather quiet. The two discussed for a while, then flew towards the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Nangong, why did you guys come out so quickly?

Inside Celestial Sect of Wonders, following the arrival of Nangong Shi and Ma Jin, Zhu Bichen walked out of the room. Seeing the two, Zhu Bichen asked.

It's all because of the Pride of the Heavens ranking war. Nangong Shi immediately laughed and said.

So that's how it is. Hearing what Nangong said, could it be that the two of you are going to participate? After Zhu Bichen heard this, he suddenly realized what had happened.

That's right. He could only participate in this ranking war once in his entire life. Elder Brother Nangong and I cannot leave any regrets. Ma Dong replied.

That's true. Speaking of which, when this old man was young, he had also participated in the battle for the ranking of heaven's pride level experts. That scene was indeed very grand. In addition, it could be considered a grand occasion to be able to see quite a few talented peers of the same age. That's right, Nangong, the two of you have come late at night, could it be that there is something you need my help with? Zhu Bichen heard and nodded, then asked.

It's nothing much. As he was passing by, he came to see Elder Zhu. Secondly, we need to know more about the developments in Endless Starfields during this year. Nangong Shi laughed and said.

In this year, nothing major has happened in Endless Starfields. If it wasn't for the fact that the battle for the Pride of the Heavens ranking war was about to begin, the various forces would probably be in their own territories just like before. Zhu Bichen's heart warmed a little as he heard this, and then he smiled and said.

In that case, it would be for the best. Oh right, Elder Zhu, does Celestial Sect of Wonders have any disciples participating? After Nangong Shi heard this, he relaxed a little and asked again.

Hearing that, Zhu Bichen's face became a lot more bitter, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about, after meditating for a while, he replied: Nangong, you know the purpose of our Celestial Sect of Wonders's establishment, and you roughly understand the situation within the sect. There aren't any geniuses within our sect. Therefore, I am afraid our Celestial Sect of Wonders will not participate in this Ranking Tournament. However, when the time comes, the elders and I will still go watch the battle. After all, this is a grand occasion that cannot be missed.

I was rude. Since everything is fine and well with Elder Zhu, we won't disturb you any longer." Nangong Shi cupped his hands and said.

Alright, Nangong, little friend Ma, please take care. I look forward to the two of you making a great showing in the battle for the top spot! Zhu Bichen cupped his hands and said.

Then, I'll be relying on Old Ji for your words. Old Zhu, see you later. Nangong Shi laughed and said.

See you. Zhu Bichen also nodded and replied.

With that said, Nangong Shi and Ma Jin's figures moved, transforming into rainbows as they rushed towards Tian Luo Continent.

The east side gradually turned white, and after a night passed, the people of Tian Luo Continent also took their seats according to the order, they all looked at Nangong Shi's avatar who was seated at the front of the hall.

After discussion, I've decided to … Just as Nangong Shi's clone opened his mouth, he suddenly stopped, his face revealed a look of joy, following that, he moved, and disappeared from the hall.

What's going on?

What happened?

Everyone was confused and looked at each other with eyes full of confusion.

And above Tian Luo Continent, Nangong Shi's clone had already appeared in front of Nangong Shi's original body, who had just arrived in a night.

You've worked hard. Nangong Shi smiled and bowed, then with a thought, he kept the clone back into his body. Soon after, the clone's memories also quickly merged into Nangong Shi's memories.

Looks like I came back at the right time. Let's go, Ma Di." After a while, Nangong Shi opened his eyes and laughed. Subsequently, his figure flashed and he disappeared into thin air.

I have decided. We, the Southern Prefecture, will participate in this ranking war.

….

CHAPTER 704 - HALF YEAR TIME

I have decided. We, the Southern Prefecture, will participate in this ranking war.

Just as everyone was discussing, Nangong Shi led Ma Jin and the other two into the hall. When they saw the appearance of Nangong Shi and Ma Jin, Qin Er, Ba Tian and the others immediately understood why Nangong Shi's clones suddenly left the place in the past.

As for Wu Qi and Ran Ming, they were looking at Nangong Shi with some confusion.

Mansion Lord, weren't you wearing a purple robe just now? How did you change into a white robe in the blink of an eye? " Wu Qi asked, confused.

Uh, I went to pick up Brother Ma, so I changed it at the last minute. Okay, let's get back to what we were talking about. Brother Ma, please sit." After Nangong Shi finished speaking, he walked up to the great hall and sat down.

I wonder if Manager Ran Ming and Manager Wu Qi have a recommended disciple? Once Nangong Shi sat down, he looked at Wu Qi and asked.

To return to the Palace Chief's words, each of us does have a disciple to recommend him. Their strengths were both at the peak of the ninth stage of the Divine Stage of Immortal Grade. I believe that we'll be able to achieve a good result in this battle of the pride of the heavens. Wu Qi and Ran Ming looked at each other, and then cupped their hands and replied.

Oh? Since that's the case, let them in." After Nangong Shi heard this, he was also surprised, and nodded his head.

Yes, Manorlord. Hearing that, Ran Ming stood up, and shot a ray of light outside the hall. Following the release of this spiritual light, Nangong Shi immediately felt two auras that were not weak flying towards the hall.

Disciple Bei Xuanye, disciple Kong Daoming pays respects to Palace Chief.

Two disciples dressed in the Southern Prefecture's uniform entered and knelt in front of Nangong Shi.

Get up. Mm, he isn't weak at all. Since Manager Ran Ming and Manager Wu Qi have recommended you two, then for this Heaven's Pride Ranking Tournament, the two of you can come with me. Nangong Shi glanced at the two of them, the two of them were indeed at the peak of Divine Stage of Immortal Grade level 9. In the current Endless Starfields, he could be considered to be one of the few experts. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have these two accompany him.

Thank you, Mansion Lord. Hearing that, the two of them immediately stood up with joy, and retreated behind Wu Qi and Ran Ming.

There is still half a year before the selection round. Everyone should cultivate well and wait for the battle to start. In this half a year, Bei Xuanye and Kong Daoming, the two of you will enter the back mountain to undergo closed door training. If anyone has anything else to say, just say it all at once. Nangong Shi nodded, and then asked.

Mansion Lord, we want to recruit a group of deacons. With the current strength of our Southern Prefecture, the middle ranks are still relatively weak. May I know what you plan to do? " After Qin Er heard this, she immediately walked out and said.

Although the Southern Prefecture's foundation is not bad, it requires a certain amount of time. Even though the Southern Prefecture has Wu Qi, the manager, and the disciples of the two sects, so far, have filled in some of the vacancies, the pillars on the Southern Prefecture as a whole are still relatively weak. This suggestion was feasible. Since Miss Qin Er has brought it up, I will leave this matter to you. Of course, if you need help, you can also ask Ba Tian, Wu Qi, and Ran Ming. Nangong Shi immediately nodded.

I shall obey Mansion Lord's orders. When Tyrant Heavens Wu Qi and the other two heard this, they immediately stood up and responded.

Hmm, is there anything else we need to discuss? Nangong Shi waved his hand and asked again. Following Nangong Shi's inquiry once again, the crowd did not have any objections this time, and all went silent.

Since that's the case, let's all get busy. Duanmu, bring Bei Xuanye and Kong Daoming over to the back mountain. Seeing that, Nangong Shi immediately said.

Shi Er, why did you suddenly return?

After Wu Qi and Ran Ming left, Murong Li and the rest gathered around and asked.

It's all because of the ranking battle for the son of heaven. It's a good thing that I managed to get back in time. Otherwise, things would not end well. Nangong Shi laughed.

Who told you to stay there for a year or so? Oh right, Bother Shi, why do I feel that your strength has increased again? Hearing that, Liu Zixiang walked over unhappily, and held onto Nangong Shi's arm and said. As for Nangong Li, he directly threw himself into Nangong Shi's embrace.

Good, good, good. This is all my fault. I didn't know it at the beginning, but the moment I went into closed door cultivation, it took me more than a year. Actually, if it wasn't for the battle for the Heaven's Pride Ranking, I might have had to wait for three years before I could return." Nangong Shi laughed, rubbed Nan Gong Li's head and then told him what he had gotten from this trip.

So you're saying, Shi Er, your strength is now at the sixth stage of the Divine Stage of Immortal Grade? Murong Li looked at Nangong Shi, and said in surprise. Even Elder Liu, who was silent at the side, looked at Nangong Shi with some astonishment.

It's all thanks to Brother Ma. Nangong Shi nodded, then looked at Ma Jin and said.

Elder Brother Nangong is too polite. This is something I promised you before. Moreover, if Elder Brother Nangong doesn't pass the test, I won't be able to do anything either. Therefore, all of this was fought for by you, Elder Brother Nangong. When Ma Jin saw the crowd looking at him, he started to feel shy.

No matter what, I still have to thank you. For Shi Er to have such a friend, it can be considered his fortune. Murong Xue slightly smiled, and said while holding Ma Jin's hand.

That's right, without you bringing Shi Er there, he wouldn't have had the chance to do so. Come to think of it, we still have to thank you. After Nangong Xuan and the rest heard this, they also went over to surround Ma Dong. Seeing that, when Nangong Shi saw Ma Jin's awkward expression, he immediately hugged Nangong Li with one hand and Liu Zixiang with the other, and smiled slightly.

The next day, Nangong Shi appeared on the mountain at the back of Southern Prefecture. With a shift of his consciousness, he saw the general situation of the rear mountains of Southern Prefecture with his own eyes. At this moment, there were quite a few disciples training in seclusion on the mountain peak. Nangong Shi took a glance and discovered that not only were there people like Feng Hao and Yang De Hua that he had seen before, there were also some who seemed to be new disciples who had joined the competition. At this moment, everyone was wholeheartedly cultivating, and the aura on their bodies was also slowly becoming stronger.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Shi also felt slightly satisfied. Then, with a thought, he appeared on top of the mountain and sat down cross-legged.

Although Nangong Shi's strength had risen by two levels in the Ma Clan Ancestral Cave, Nangong Shi still felt that it was not very stable. After recuperating for a little while, it became quiet and the spirit energy in his body started to circulate.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. When a ray of sunlight shone into Nangong Shi's eyes, he slowly opened them.

….

CHAPTER 705 - REACHING INFINITY

BOOM!

Right at the instant when Nangong Shi opened his eyes, a roar that came from the ethereal void whistled past. The sound was like a torrential downpour, spreading in all directions at a speed faster than the speed of light. Nangong Shi immediately found out that the rumbling sound came from the location of the Endless Continent. That was the territory of the Endless Star Alliance. Within the booming voice was a message. That was, the selection for the favored children of heaven would begin three days later!

With a thought, he disappeared from the top of the mountain, and casually brought Bei Xuanye and Kong Daoming out from the back mountain.

This booming sound had also attracted the attention of everyone in Southern Prefecture. When they saw Nangong Shi bringing Bei Xuanye and Kong Daoming out, everyone knew that Nangong Shi was about to leave.

Not only that, at this moment, all of the large and small continents, and even the islands in the Endless Starfields heard that explosion. Then, all of the various powers, sects, clans and tribes started to move. Pairs of people, maybe three to five people, or even more than ten people, marched majestically towards Endless Continent.

Manager Wu Qi, Manager Ran Ming, when I leave, you guys take care of the Southern Prefecture. If there's anything, you can discuss it with Qin Er, Ba Tian and the others. The things that I have promised you will begin after this ranking war ends. Rest assured, as long as you remain loyal to my Southern Prefecture, the promise that I have given you all is only the beginning. In the hall, Nangong Shi said to Wu Qi and Ran Ming.

Mansion Lord, don't worry. We will definitely take good care of the Southern Prefecture and wait for the Mansion Lord's return.

Hearing that, Wu Qi and Ran Ming immediately bowed and cupped their fists and replied. Hearing Nangong Shi's words, the two of them were excited. After all, at their level of cultivation, being able to increase their strength was the most important matter. Furthermore, the two of them understood in their hearts that this time, it was Nangong Shi who had given them the test. As long as they could ensure that nothing bad happened to the Southern Prefecture, they had naturally passed the test.

Rest assured, as long as you sincerely follow behind Elder Brother Nangong, you will definitely be grateful to yourselves in the future. Right, Elder Brother Nangong, before leaving, my grandfather told me that if it's possible, in the future, our Ma family will also move into your Southern Prefecture. I just do not know if you are willing to accept it. After the two of them spoke, Ma Jin, who was sitting in front of the palace hall, also lightly smiled and said.

Elder Ma really said that? Hearing that, Nangong Shi immediately stood up from the bed in shock. It was evident how excited he was. Seeing that, everyone was curious, just what kind of existence was a clan that could cause Nangong Shi to be so excited? Especially Wu Qi and Ran Ming, they were extremely confused.

Elder Brother Nangong, would I lie to you? Ma Jin nodded and said with a smile.

If the Ma family is willing to stay in my Tian Luo Continent, I will definitely welcome them. After Nangong Shi heard this, he immediately said seriously.

Alright. Elder Brother Nangong, it's getting late, let's hurry on our way. Ma Jin nodded and stood up.

Alright. Nangong Shi heard and walked down, then cupped his hands to everyone and said: Southern Prefecture, I will be troubling everyone.

We will not disappoint the Palace Chief's expectations!

When everyone heard this, they bowed and responded.

Seeing that, Nangong Shi nodded towards Ma Jin, then looked towards Bei Xuanye and Kong Daoming: Let's go. Uuu, Bother Cheng, you should come with me.

Yes, Bother Shi. Hearing that, Luo Cheng immediately became excited and walked out.

Nangong Shi nodded his head, with a wave of his hand, he released a golden light that condensed into a talisman. He then handed it over to Qin Er and the rest, he bowed to them and walked out.

A moment later, five long arcs flew out from the Tian Luo Continent and headed towards it.

As for the safety of Tian Luo Continent, Nangong Shi was also extremely assured in his heart. Not to mention that the Eight Trigrams Yin Yang mother formation that he had set up could defend against enemies and trap people, there were also Wu Qi and Ran Ming who were protecting him. Even if Wu Qi and Ran Ming were worried, they still had the Time and Space Beast King. And all of these, after leaving, Nangong Shi had already made his preparations. As a result, Nangong Shi no longer had any worries.

And at that moment, Nangong Shi brought everyone and left. Wu Qi and Ran Ming were gathered together once again, discussing.

Brother Ran Ming, what do you think of the ranking battle for the Prefecture Lord's position? Wu Qi asked.

Given the Lord Prefect's power, he should at least be in the top one hundred. Ran Ming thought for a while and said.

I think so too. Oh right, have you heard of the Ma Family that Ma Dong mentioned before? Wu Qi nodded, and asked again.

Ma family … Forgive me for being blunt, but in this Endless Starfields, I have never heard of a large family with the surname Ma. And a power that could cause even the Lord Prefect to be stunned couldn't possibly remain hidden away in the dark. Therefore, this is also something that I couldn't figure out no matter how hard I thought about it. I wonder if Brother Wu Qi has any leads? Ran Ming shook his head and laughed bitterly.

There is indeed no such strong power in Endless Starfields with the surname Ma. However, hundreds of thousands of years ago, as long as it was someone with the surname Ma, no one would be able to avoid him. After Wu Qi heard this, he immediately exclaimed.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago … the Ma Family … could it be!? Brother Wu Qi, which one are you talking about? " After Ran Ming heard this, he immediately stood up.

Other than that, I truly can't think of anyone else who could make a person like the Mansion Lord pay extreme attention to it. Wu Qi nodded and replied.

I never thought that Ma Jin was actually the descendant of Emperor Ma Yuan! Heavens, such a character actually followed behind the Mansion Lord. It was no wonder that Ma Dong would say those words in the main hall today. Looks like choosing to follow the Lord Prefect's actions is probably the right decision. Ran Ming also came to a realization.

"With Palace Chief's talent, I believe that he will very likely break through to the King Sovereign in the near future. At that time, he would really soar into the sky. With our strength, we can't help the Palace Chief much, and the only thing we can do is to take care of Southern Prefecture and himself. In addition, I have the
