Chapter 2561

Everyone except Yan Aohan was stunned. They knew Zhu Yanyi had grand ambitions, but they never imagined they were this huge. They all looked at her, trying to confirm if what they heard was real.

Zhu Yanyi nodded at them, confirming her words were true. She smiled and asked, "What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Yan Aohan shook his head first. "No. My wife’s decisions are always right."

Zhu Yanyi smiled proudly, then looked at the others. Ouyang Tianyun looked at her and said, "Junior Sister Yanyi, you mean you want to surpass…"

"Is that really so hard?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.

Ouyang Tianyun and the others nodded unconsciously. Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow, and they quickly shook their heads.

Qian Huansheng had to speak up. "It’s not about difficulty. It’s that doing this is truly challenging. Those are the Five Great Sects."

"But in my eyes, there is no sect that cannot be surpassed. Moreover, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect never intended to compete with others. Without absolute power, how can we be truly free?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at everyone and softened her tone. "Remember, we do this mostly to gain absolute authority."

Seeing that the others still didn’t fully understand, Yan Aohan took over to explain. "The Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect is new and lacks a strong foundation. Even with Immortal Emperors supporting us, we have only existed for fifty years. If we challenge the Five Great Sects, some will surely be unwilling to submit. Rather than dealing with such trouble later, it is better to solve it all at once. If you defeat the Five Great Sects and become superior to them, no sect will dare to provoke us."

Only absolute strength commands respect. After Yan Aohan finished, everyone finally understood.

Understanding Zhu Yanyi’s plan, they looked at each other. Cui Wan said, "Master, rest assured. We will work hard."

Qian Huansheng smiled charmingly. "I didn’t expect the Divine Doctor to have such ambition. But it sounds very satisfying. Very well, let’s go for it together."

Seeing everyone agreed, Zhu Yanyi smiled satisfactorily. "Relax well for the next two days. The day after tomorrow, we will make our name known in one battle."

Two days passed quickly.

Many sects had already left. Those remaining were mostly top-tier sects, curious to see how far the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect would go.

The Immortal Emperor stood up as the host. "This time, I am the host, the notary, and the witness. I am here to witness the match between the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect and the Five Great Sects."

After speaking, the Immortal Emperor looked at the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect and the Five Great Sects. "Are you all ready?"

Each sect indicated they were ready.

The Immortal Emperor nodded. "Then, the first match will follow the original plan: the Sect Leader battle. Please, Sect Leader Zhu Yanyi of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect and Valley Master Zhang Yixing of the Medicine King Valley, come up."

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan returned a gentle smile. "Good luck."

"Okay. Wait for my good news." Zhu Yanyi disappeared from her spot and reappeared on the stage.

Since the start of the Heavenly Fortune Competition, Zhu Yanyi had never fought directly. Even when she did, she simply used medicine to resolve things. Now, it was a proper, formal battle.

Actually, dealing with Zhang Yixing alone was very simple. Just like before, one dose of medicine could solve it.

But Zhu Yanyi knew that if she did that, even if Zhang Yixing lost, the Medicine King Valley would not accept it willingly. Therefore, the five-round tournament was a true test for the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect.

"Sect Leader Zhu, greetings," Zhang Yixing said, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "Valley Master Zhang, return the greeting." She then asked, "Does Valley Master Zhang have any specific requirements for this match?"

Zhang Yixing looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Sect Leader Zhu, I heard you can cure disabled people."

"That is true," Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly.

Zhang Yixing nodded and clapped his hands. A person walked up. "I actually have no other idea for this match. This person was born with a throat problem and cannot speak. For this match, if Sect Leader Zhu can cure him, the Medicine King Valley will admit defeat."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the person beside her. She wore fine clothes, and her eyes held a clear light. "This is not someone from an ordinary family."

"I will not hide it from you. This is my grandson, my youngest grandson," Zhang Yixing said.

"My grandson has been mute since birth. Before he was born, enemies came seeking revenge. His mother was injured. We didn’t notice it then, but after he was born, we realized the child could not make a sound."

Zhang Yu, Zhang Yixing’s grandson, was a congenital mute. This was known throughout the Immortal Realm.

After hearing this, Zhu Yanyi flicked her finger. A green aura flew out, wrapped around Zhang Yu’s hand, and she briefly examined her body.

Zhang Yu looked healthy, but the damage from the enemy was severe. His spiritual root had been destroyed. He could only survive thanks to the various pills from the Medicine King Valley. His throat could not produce sound because his vocal cords had been severed.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Valley Master Zhang, your grandson’s spiritual root is destroyed, her talent is limited, and her vocal cords are severed. Do you only want me to repair her vocal cords?"

Zhang Yixing was stunned. "Sect Leader Zhu, do you mean my grandson’s spiritual root can be restored, and his talent can be recovered?"

"That would be impossible for others, but for me, it is never a problem," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Zhang Yixing.

"However, if you want your grandson to be fully cured by me, he must become my disciple. Valley Master Zhang, do you still want to cure your grandson?"

"Yes." Zhang Yixing did not hesitate for a moment. If the Medicine King Valley had no heir, he would worry. But the valley had other heirs. To him, Zhang Yu was more than an heir; he was family, a grandson. As long as he was healthy, it didn’t matter if he joined another sect.

Zhu Yanyi nodded and looked at Zhang Yu. "Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Yixing. Zhang Yixing nodded slightly. Zhang Yu knelt and bowed deeply to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Jade is beautiful but easily broken. Since your name is Yu, today I bestow a character upon you: Jing. From now on, you are my second direct disciple. In the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, you are Zhang Jingcong."

She finished speaking, took out a bottle, and handed it to Zhang Jingcong. "Take this."
