The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Chapter 267 Thank you for your heart's fire

The disciples off-screen were worried for the nameless family.

Even those little-known aristocratic families stood up for the nameless family at this time. "I actually hope the nameless family wins, so that it can prove that the other aristocratic families are not necessarily inferior."

"Exactly. Those major families have monopolized the market for so long, it's time to bring in some fresh blood."

However, these voices are still in the minority; most people are just watching the show and betting on when the Nameless Family will lose.

"Apart from Yun Fuzhao, the disciples of the Nameless Clan are all mediocre. They still want to compete with the Shangguan Family for first place?"

"Family members, here's some insider information, it's quite a rumor that Yun Fuzhao is famous throughout the Southern Continent."

"What do you mean? Is it because she made a contract with a dragon?"

The disciple who knew the inside story held up a finger and shook it, "No, no, no, Yun Fuzhao was already famous before he made a contract with the dragon clan."

Disciples eager to know the gossip gathered around.

"Tell me about it, I'm so curious!"

"Speaking of Yun Fuzhao, she is truly an extraordinary person. Her deeds, such as contracting with the number one sword cultivator, Wuji of Yunding, killing her master, and colluding with the demon realm and monster realm, could be told for three days and three nights without finishing."

"Killing one's master?" A disciple gasped. "In the Northern Continent, this would be punishable by being paraded through the streets and beheaded."

In the Northern Continent, the master-disciple relationship is sacred and inviolable. Disciples here wouldn't even dare to contradict their master, let alone commit patricide.

"Hiss, people like this are a menace to the world."

"I used to admire him quite a bit because of his contract with the dragon race and all that. I never expected him to be this kind of person. It seems the dragon race's judgment isn't very good after all."

“There’s something I’m curious about,” a disciple of the Shangguan family asked, “Do you really think this dragon race is an ancient dragon race? Their bloodlines are different, aren’t they?”

This statement was echoed by many people.

In the end, they all concluded that the dragon clan that Yun Fuzhao contracted was not an ancient dragon clan.

"Is this your strength?"

Shangguan Yun looked somewhat regretful, "I didn't have a very enjoyable time playing against you."

Yun Fuzhao: "..."

Plastic bags? They're really good at packing.

Although she was quite pretentious.

The spiritual energy here is thin, and Yu Zhi and the others are already covered in wounds of all sizes. Their spiritual energy is quickly depleted, and their attacks are becoming increasingly ineffective.

The situation is one-sided.

Just as the Shangguan family members were about to kill them, Yun Fuzhao stopped them in time. "We surrender."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yun put away his spear.

He said to Yun Fuzhao, "Heart Fire."

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I've already taken over all the new projects from the other families. All that's left are you and the Heart Flames you've acquired. A total of thirty-five Heart Flames."

Yun Fuzhao looked surprised. "No, you're too shrewd."

Shangguan Yun: "One cannot fall into the same pit twice."

"..."

He had predicted it correctly, and Yun Fuzhao had no choice but to entrust all of her inner fire to him.

Shangguan Yunzai carefully checked her over and made sure there was nothing wrong before looking at her again.

A short while later, all the teleportation arrays beneath their feet lit up.

Just in case, Shangguan Yun said to the Shangguan family disciples behind him, "We will leave ten minutes before the deadline."

"Weren't the young master and the others already teleported away? The competition is over."

“They were teleported away last time too; teleportation arrays can be faked.”

"Ok."

The group continued forward and arrived at the exit.

As the sun began to set, with ten minutes remaining in the match, Shangguan Yun took one last look ahead, but saw no one approaching.

"Okay, let's go."

The Shangguan family was the last aristocratic family to step out of the Sea of ​​Illusion.

As soon as they emerged from the Void Sea, the Shangguan family members came to greet them. "Young Master, we really do need you. Our family is number one again."

"Isn't that a certainty? Does the Nameless Clan really think they can defeat us?"

"Hahaha, even the Yu family has fallen several places this time."

Shangguan Yun glanced to the side and, sure enough, saw the nameless family surrounded by people.

"Holy crap, can you transform into a dragon so I can touch it?"

"Among all the mythical beasts in the world, perhaps only the dragon race can transform into human form."

The disciples were excited. They had just belittled the dragon race from outside the screen, but when they actually saw the dragon race, they showed a completely different face.

Shangguan Yun walked towards Yun Fuzhao and said, "You are a smart person. Perhaps we can be friends in the future."

"You really have no airs at all." Yun Fuzhao chuckled. "Alright, it depends on my mood."

The Shangguan family disciple behind him sneered, "We've given you a taste of your own medicine, and you're acting like you're trying to take advantage of us."

"Alright. The Grand Family Competition is over." Tan Xue clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.

She announced expressionlessly, "The Shangguan family has once again won the championship."

A disciple from the Tian Shu Pavilion approached, head bowed, carrying a tray. "Please, sir, hand over all your inner fire to me."

Shangguan Yun nodded and handed over all the Heart Flames he had obtained to him.

Yu Muqing's expression was not good. "We're going to get scolded when we get back this time."

Shangguan Yun looked at her and said, "I will explain the situation to them. Without your help, the Shangguan family would not have won the championship so easily."

"What's the use of saying that? You know what my parents are like. They would have skinned me alive."

Shangguan Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Why would they treat you like this?"

"You think everyone is as favored as you? In their eyes, I'm nothing more than a pawn with some use."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Yun suddenly asked, "Didn't you say last time that we'd go to the human realm to admire the lanterns after the aristocratic family competition? Let's go today, we'll be there just in time."

Yu Muqing paused for a moment, then smiled. "Okay."

The expression on Shangguan Yun's face vanished instantly. "You are not Yu Muqing."

The tone is affirmative.

"What are you talking about? If I'm not Yu Muqing, then who is Yu Muqing?"

Shangguan Yun pursed his lips and grabbed her by the neck, "Who exactly are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, "Yu Muqing" began to fluctuate violently, and her body gradually became transparent.

The next second, the surrounding scenery began to fluctuate.

Shangguan Yun looked completely bewildered.

"What's going on?" shouted a disciple of the Shangguan family behind him. "Am I seeing things?"

A bad thought flashed through Shangguan Yun's mind, and he immediately looked at the disciple who had just calmed his inner fire.

His face gradually changed, eventually transforming into Yun Fuzhao's face.

Yun Fuzhao: "Oh dear, it's already ineffective."

The surrounding scenery returned to normal. They were clearly still within the Sea of ​​Illusion!

Behind Yun Fuzhao lay the exit of the Sea of ​​Illusion. She smiled and shook a large bag of Heartfire in her hand, "Thank you for your Heartfire~"
