A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Su Mingxiang quickly looked at Su Mingyi, signaling with his eyes that he should stop talking.

Although Shen Ye has no team to join, he will not choose to join Chen Yue's team.

Having witnessed Su Jingcheng being seriously injured and eliminated by Chen Yue, Shen Ye also lost any goodwill towards Chen Yue.

His actions just now clearly indicated that he wanted to be an enemy of Yunxuan Sect, and teaming up with him to fight was something Shen Ye was unwilling to do.

But the situation on the field is very awkward now, with everyone trying to form pairs to seek alliances with other forces.

Being alone made Shen Ye seem a bit lonely, as no one wanted to separate from their companions and choose an unfamiliar person as a teammate.

Of the current eight teams, unless he wants to give up the qualification to compete for the Spirit Spring, he can only join Chen Yue's team.

The two locked eyes, their gazes filled with hostility, neither willing to back down first.

Su Mingxiang was unwilling to get involved in the affairs between the two, as offending either of them would not benefit him at all.

Fang Lei quickly discovered the situation on Chen Yue's side; the sect disciple who had been excluded was clearly from the Yunxuan Sect.

From the battle between Chen Yue and Su Jingcheng just now, anyone could see that Chen Yue was specifically targeting Yunxuan Sect.

Chen Yue's actions at this moment further confirmed his thoughts.

Fang Lei took the initiative to propose a group battle format, and it was only right that he should handle such a situation.

All the other groups have already been divided up, and only this last group is left. The sooner we get everything ready, the sooner the battle can begin.

Fang Lei first came to Shen Ye's side and said earnestly, "You are the only one who hasn't joined the team yet. Chen Yue's group is your only choice."

"Otherwise, the group matches won't be able to continue."

Because of Su Jingcheng's matter, Shen Ye harbored a strong prejudice against Chen Yue.

“Mr. Fang, he and I can only be rivals, not rivals.”

Fang Lei sighed helplessly, "If you insist on doing this, I will have no choice but to disqualify you from competing for the Spirit Spring."

"As long as you agree to join Chen Yue's team, I'll handle things on the other side."

"Don't give up the important opportunity to enter the Spirit Spring because of some conflicts."

Hearing these words of advice, Shen Ye couldn't help but waver.

He did have a problem with Chen Yue, but entering the Spirit Spring for cultivation was a more important matter. All the major king-level forces had traveled thousands of miles to the Eastern Region just to enter the Spirit Spring, hadn't they?

Shen Ye certainly didn't want to give up this great opportunity. He looked at the groups of four around him and then thought about how he was all alone.

Even if they were unwilling, they had no other choice.

Thinking of all this, Shen Ye had no choice but to lower his head and say respectfully, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Fang. If he's willing to accept me, I'll join his group."

Seeing that his words had an effect, Fang Lei nodded in satisfaction and then went to Chen Yue's direction to persuade him to accept Shen Ye into the group.

Faced with this friend of the Ninth Prince, Fang Lei couldn't force Chen Yue to do anything, so he could only speak to him politely.

"Chen Yue, your group is only one person short. As long as you can accept that Yunxuan Sect disciple, the group battle can begin immediately."

"I hope you will think it over carefully. After all, you have already given up your spot in the Spirit Spring. Whether you accept him or not will determine whether you can continue to obtain a spot in the Spirit Spring."

Chen Yue did not answer Fang Lei's question immediately, but silently considered whether to let Shen Ye join.

The other teams were all full, and the main reason Shen Ye was excluded was that Yunxuan Sect had one member eliminated first.

As a result, no one was willing to accept a single disciple, and everyone chose to team up in pairs.

The fact that Shen Ye didn't join a group can be said to be entirely Chen Yue's fault.

Their current situation means that they can only participate in the group battle by accepting Shen Ye's addition.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yue looked at Su Mingxiang and Su Mingyi beside him.

"What are your thoughts on this? Do you want to accept Shen Ye?"

Su Mingyi said decisively, "We have no other choice but to accept it."

Su Mingxiang nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, agreeing with Su Mingyi's statement.

Seeing Chen Yue's hesitation, Fang Lei was still thinking about how to continue persuading him.

"Fine, let him come."

Chen Yue's sudden remark surprised the three of them.

What surprised Shen Ye even more was that, with Mr. Fang's mediation, Chen Yue agreed to let him join the team so quickly.

Chen Yue's decision to temporarily accept Shen Ye was largely due to the progress of the group battle.

After the group battles, four groups will advance, totaling sixteen sect disciples, which far exceeds the remaining twelve Spirit Spring slots.

Therefore, Chen Yue still has a chance to eliminate Shen Ye, but for now, they can only fight side by side.

With all eight groups full, the group battles immediately began.

Fang Lei took out eight sheets of white paper from his storage bag and wrote serial numbers on them one by one. The two groups that drew the same serial number would be the ones to play against each other.

Fang Lei announced loudly, "Each group, please select one person to come forward and draw lots to determine the battle order."

Several people stepped forward one after another, randomly selecting the slips of paper from Fang Lei's hand.

Su Mingxiang, representing the group, drew a slip of paper. After slowly unfolding it, he found that the number three was written on it.

This means their group will be the third to play, and their opponent is another group that also drew number three.

Back in the team, Su Mingyi was the first to ask, "So, which group are we going on?"

Su Mingxiang unfolded the slip of paper, revealing the numbers on it: "The third group is going on stage."

The group nodded slightly, understanding the news.

The relationship between Chen Yue and Shen Ye gave Su Mingxiang and his companion a headache, fearing that something might go wrong during the battle.

Although their combined cultivation at the ninth level of the Spiritual Mansion realm was enough to briefly withstand the attack of a group of four, they were still able to work together.

However, if infighting breaks out within their team during actual combat, even the two of them at the ninth level of the Spiritual Mansion realm would be powerless to reverse the situation.

We can only hope that the two of them remain rational and don't do anything wrong at the crucial moment.

Ultimately, there wasn't really any major conflict between Chen Yue and Shen Ye.

Chen Yue didn't dislike Shen Ye as a person, but rather because of what Elder Weng and Feng Lingxi had done, which caused Chen Yue to feel disgusted with Yunxuan Sect, a king-level power.

Therefore, he had no good feelings towards anyone in the Yunxuan Sect, including Su Jingcheng and Shen Ye.

Chen Yue had no personal conflict with them; the only one to blame was their Third Elder, who lowered the Yunxuan Sect's image in front of Chen Yue.

As for Shen Ye's dislike of Chen Yue, it was simply because of Su Jingcheng's matter.

Although the two did not have an excellent relationship within the sect, one was the Holy Son of Yunxuan and the other was the sect leader's personal disciple.

The two were also nearly equal in cultivation level, both having reached the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion realm.

Back in the sect, Shen Ye and Su Jingcheng often competed, and their sparring matches were always evenly matched.

Chen Yue's devastating defeat of Su Jingcheng in the first match caused Shen Ye's impression of him to plummet.

His once-proud Yunxuan Sect was severely humiliated by the young man before him in front of numerous king-level forces.
