Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 853 A Gathering of Geniuses

Ye Qing frowned. He didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between these big shots, but it seemed that everything was beyond his control.

Upon hearing his mother-in-law's words, the High Priest of Fuqing gritted his teeth, then turned around on the ground and knelt before Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu.

"I was very rude just now, I hope you can forgive me!" Fuqing said, forcing a smile.

Ye Qing frowned. He and Lin Qianyu turned to the side almost simultaneously, avoiding facing the High Priest of Fuqing directly!

"It's alright!" Ye Qing said.

Although he was very unhappy with the way the High Priest of Fuqing acted, he was currently very weak and it was completely unnecessary for him to offend a powerful figure from a level seven civilization!

Seeing the two's reactions, the High Priest of Fuqing lowered his head, his eyes filled with a strange look, and it was unclear what he was thinking!

"Alright, let's leave it at that!" At this moment, the old woman's voice rang out again, saying, "I'll say it one more time, these two people have already been chosen by my Tianxuan Star, don't try to take them away!"

"Yes!" Another voice rang out in the room.

The High Priest of Fuqing then stood up, gave Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu a deep look, and said, "Someone, take these two distinguished guests to their lodgings!"

Soon, the person guarding the door came over, and after seeing Ye Qing, she gestured for Ye Qing and the other person to enter.

Ye Qing then cupped his hands in greeting to the High Priest of Fuqing and the woman in the white dress before turning and leaving.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief as he stepped out of the room.

Soon, the two followed the service staff and took the elevator down.

The building is still very large and tall, and it probably bears some resemblance to that temple.

Soon, they arrived at a floor with countless rooms.

The two were each assigned to a separate room.

After scanning the badges, the staff member smiled and said, "The badges you have can be used to go anywhere. The finals don't start until tomorrow, so you can go anywhere on the planet and buy some of our Gamma Star's specialties. Just come back tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qing said.

The receptionist paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need!"

After the receptionist left, Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu exchanged a glance. Ye Qing said, "Let's go, let's go to the room..."

"Crack!"

Just then, the door to the next room suddenly opened, and Chen Xuan came out and asked, "What's going on?"

"Let's talk inside the room!" Ye Qing said.

Chen Xuan followed Ye Qing into the room. Ye Qing briefly explained the situation, and Chen Xuan said, "Just as we suspected, it's fortunate that the people from Tianxuan Star helped you. Otherwise, this would have been quite troublesome. After all, this is Gamma Star. If you don't agree, they have a million ways to kill you. If you agree, you might have something implanted in you, making you unable to disobey any orders from Gamma Star in the future!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Shall we go out for a stroll?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Let's stay here obediently. This is the safest place because there's a special envoy here. Generally speaking, people from Gamma Star won't take action in private while we're here. But if we go out, things could get complicated. After all, it's not just the contestants who come here. Judging from past years, some contestants have gone out and ended up dying in the streets or being controlled... If they can't come back by noon tomorrow, they'll be disqualified. So let's stay here until tomorrow morning!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "That works too."

At this moment, Chen Xuan said again, "Alright, get some rest. It's getting late, I need to go back and recover too. Damn it, that last battle really took a toll!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Chen Xuan left the room, Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu discussed it briefly, then washed up and went to sleep!

The night passed quietly.

Around 10 a.m. the next day, Ye Qing was woken up by a knock on his door. He opened the door, and Chen Xuan poked his head in and said, "It's already past 10 a.m., it's about time to get ready!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Wait a moment!"

After a quick wash, Ye Qing took out his swords and knives from his spatial ring and carried them on his back, while Lin Qianyu took her longsword. Then the two of them went outside!

Many people were walking out of the corridor at this moment!

Ye Qing saw Lin Qingzhu, who nodded slightly to Ye Qing, and Yue Xi also came up behind her.

At the same time, Huang Jue, that guy, shamelessly walked over and said, "Hey, handsome guys and beautiful girls, are you going to eat? Come on over!"

Chen Xuan and Yue Xi did not refuse him, and the group headed towards the restaurant!

The group ate a simple meal at the restaurant. Around 11 o'clock, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "All participants in the Genius Battle, please proceed to the first floor of the Temple!"

Ye Qing put down what he was holding, and Yue Xi took a deep breath, her eyes resolute, and said, "The crucial battle will take place in the next three days!"

"Let's go!" Ye Qing said.

The group of five walked toward the elevator, and soon the elevator was full of people.

Including the ones next to it!

The elevator began to descend, and soon arrived at the first floor of the temple. In the huge hall, when the door in front of him opened, Ye Qing's pupils shrank slightly.

He saw dozens of people standing ahead!

These people didn't look very old. Each of them was wearing armor and carrying weapons. Just by standing at a distance, they exuded a powerful aura.

“These are the participants from Gamma Star!” Chen Xuan said from the side. “These people were also selected. There aren’t many Level 6 civilizations that can reach the Transcendent level by the age of fifty, but Gamma Star has quite a few!”

Ye Qing nodded.

His gaze fell on the man in front, dressed in red armor.

His eyes flickered slightly as he said, "That person is the late-stage Transcendent Realm expert of the Temple?"

"Hmm!" Chen Xuan said, "That person is Zhong Yi. I reckon no one would dare to step onto his stage."

Ye Qing glanced enviously at Yue Xi beside her and said, "Now that you're at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, I doubt anyone would dare to step onto the arena where you are!"

"It's hard to say!" Yuexi shook her head and said, "We'll only know when the time comes. What about you? Are you planning to go into the arena right from the start?"
