Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 67

Ballroom.

Every word from Xiao Mengyu was like a bombshell dropped on the scene.

No one spoke.

Only the band continued to play live.

Every member of the band stared at the sheet music in front of them, as if the music was filled with matters of life and death, daring not to look up elsewhere.

The female reporter no longer dared to record.

The male reporter carried the equipment far into a corner, lit it with fire, and burned it while crying.

No one paid attention to him.

But he still felt it wasn’t enough. He snatched the microphone from the female reporter’s hand, then pulled out his and the female reporter’s phones, and threw them all into the fire.

Some people shifted uncomfortably.

Those eager young scions of powerful families stood rooted to the spot, no longer uttering a sound.

Madam An’s face was livid.

But Xiao Mengyu’s voice remained calm like a deep pool:

“By the way, I have videos and photos here. Do you want to see them? I can send them to you.”

“—And the video of Song Qingyun saying she wants to marry you.”

“Really? Wow, that’s explosive! Send it to me, hurry up and send it to me!” Shen Ye said.

“So I’ll send it?”

“Send it.”

The two fiddled with their phones for a while.

Shen Ye excitedly looked up, glanced at Madam An, and laughed heartily:

“Madam An, you really know how to pick people. She really found it!”

“Fake,” Madam An spat out two words, her speech rapidly accelerating: “There must be a problem with the source of your video, it’s synthesized. Besides, Qingyun would never harm anyone. She is a recognized star student, the student council president of Sky Carle High School!”

“Countless scions of powerful families can testify!”

As soon as her voice fell.

Many scions of powerful families stepped forward, clamoring to support Song Qingyun.

Shen Ye abruptly stopped smiling, looked at the scene before him, and lamented:

“You influential families clearly took all the advantages, learning various inheritances early on, honing your ‘comprehension’ and ‘resonance.’ Yet, the only thing you did before the exam was bully commoner students.”

“—Beating people black and blue, just to rank up.”

“At first, I thought you were just cold-blooded.”

“But now I know, you aren’t actually human.”

“After all, how could a casual order to kill tens of thousands of people be something a human could do?”

“—Am I right, Madam An?”

Madam An stood motionless like a stone statue.

Her upbringing and experience momentarily prevented her from taking action in front of so many people.

Amidst this comical and absurd situation—

Suddenly a voice rang out:

“Zhao Qianjun of the Zhao family from Hedong, invites Shen Ye from Human Martial Arts Group to have a round.”

The group of scions stirred.

Leading them was a arrogant young man.

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged directly towards Shen Ye.

Qian Rushan was about to step forward, but was held back by the elder of a powerful family who had apologized earlier.

“It’s just children sparring. Manager Qian, you’re interfering too much.”

The old man said with a smile.

Qian Rushan was momentarily unable to move.

In a flash of lightning—

A gigantic sword shadow soared into the sky, cutting the entire ballroom in half, flying into the sky, and instantly disappearing from sight.

The young man named Zhao Qianjun was grazed by the sword shadow, his body was thrown far away, hitting the wall, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Shen Ye hasn’t finished speaking, you’re too rude.”

Xiao Mengyu said indifferently, holding a long sword.

Silence.

The scions of powerful families looked at the Luoshui Divine Sword in her hand, feeling her full murderous intent, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

—With their strength, they could naturally see that if anyone dared to stand out now, Xiao Mengyu would truly kill them!

Her brother died because of this!

The victim was here, should they really go up and fight to the death?

Everyone hesitated.

The old man from the powerful family could not hold back and was about to step out, but was held by the shoulder by Qian Rushan.

“It’s just children sparring, old man, you’re interfering too much.”

Qian Rushan said in a low voice.

On the other side.

Madam An had already retreated to the side and said to a middle-aged man beside her, “Immediately apply to Kunlun to block the news here and block these two people’s phones.”

“Applying now!” The middle-aged man quickly operated his phone, sweating profusely: “But it didn’t go through!”

Madam An shook her head and said, “How is that possible? It never refuses our Song family’s requests—I’ll talk to it.”

She took the phone and said, “It’s me. As I just said, block this matter.”

A gentle and polite male voice sounded from the phone:

“Sorry, this block cannot be completed.”

Madam An froze, subconsciously asking, “Why? Didn’t it always block things pretty well before?”

“The enrollment of new students in the three major high schools is one of the most important events in the entire human society.”

“It symbolizes the level of human strength development in the coming years, so the entire selection process must showcase the positive side of humanity.”

“At this moment, the cards in the hands of all students are activated.”

“The Tarot artifact is also monitoring the entire event.”

“At this point in time, it is really inappropriate for me to get involved, so as not to affect the course of events.”

A gleam of gloom flashed in Madam An’s eyes.

Shen Ye sharply sensed something.

He looked into the crowd, only to see a white-shirted young man step out and stand beside Madam An.

“I’ve long heard of Miss Xiao’s astonishing sword talent, and now that I see it, it truly lives up to its reputation.”

“I originally only came to attend the entrance banquet today.”

“But I’ll play with you for a bit.”

After the youth finished speaking, he took a few steps and entered the arena.

Everyone around whispered.

Shen Ye also felt that the other party seemed a bit familiar.

That’s right.

Isn’t this young man the one ranked fourth on the “Newcomer” leaderboard?

What was his name again?

The first place was so amazing that he didn’t bother to look at the ones below, so he didn’t remember.

“You want to fight me?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Come on, number five, I’ll let you know why I’m ranked one spot higher than you,” the white-shirted youth said.

Xiao Mengyu snorted, about to step down, but Shen Ye pulled her back.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Something’s not right about this,” Shen Ye said.

“What’s not right?” the white-shirted youth asked.

Shen Ye took out a card, placed it against his palm, and showed the front to everyone:

“She’s in a fight with me; she can’t fight you.”

“Can’t you just surrender?” the white-shirted youth chuckled.

“Why should I surrender?” Shen Ye asked.

“Do you think you’re stronger than her?” the white-shirted youth retorted.

“Xiao Mengyu, we’re not fighting him!” Shen Ye turned to Xiao Mengyu.

The white-shirted youth let out a cold laugh and said,

“Miss Xiao’s strength is definitely more than what she just displayed. She’s qualified to fight me, and besides… she doesn’t even listen to her uncle, why should she listen to you?”

Xiao Mengyu was about to draw her sword, but after hearing these words, she put her sword away and stood behind Shen Ye.

“Shen Ye is right, I’ll listen to Shen Ye.”

Xiao Mengyu said calmly.

Shen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the opposite side, the white-shirted young man had a black viper with a triangular head coiled around him.

Although Xiao Mengyu was a sword saint, she seemed unable to see the snake.

If they really fought, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

“You guys, you don’t even dare to fight me, why are you showing off here?”

The white-shirted youth sighed and said, “Come on, kneel before Madam An and apologize properly, otherwise you won’t make it through tonight.”

The black snake on his body slowly slithered down, landing on the red carpet, and slowly moved towards Xiao Mengyu and Shen Ye.

Xiao Mengyu’s eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and she slowly looked at Shen Ye.

—Still not making a move?

Shen Ye’s heart tightened again.

He stared at the slithering black snake—

No way.

In such a formal and grand banquet, could no one see that snake?

Impossible!

However, no one spoke, nor did anyone act.

It turns out…

This was probably tacitly allowed.

The unspoken rules of noble families.

All in this silence where no one intervened.

Shen Ye felt a little emotional, rubbed the card, and flipped it to look at the back.

A line of small text appeared on the card:

“Dead man.”

“You have offended several powerful families, and you are bound to die.”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but laugh.

This card is also interesting; every time I look at it, it curses me.

But it doesn’t matter—

Some things cannot be stopped by life and death.

“Xiao Mengyu,” Shen Ye said.

“Hmm?” Xiao Mengyu looked up at him.

“I concede,” Shen Ye said.

“Is this necessary?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Trust me,” Shen Ye said.

“…Okay,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Both looked at the cards in their hands.

A line of small text appeared on the back of their cards:

“Battle over, Shen Ye surrenders, Xiao Mengyu wins.”

Xiao Mengyu took a step back.

Shen Ye walked forward, staring at the white-clothed youth and said:

“Just now Xiao Mengyu defeated me—if you want to fight her, you must defeat me first. Do you have any objections?”

“Oh? A two-star lightweight dares to show off?” The youth said with his arms crossed, “Fine, I can still earn some points by beating you, and warm up a bit—let’s fight.”

“State your name,” Shen Ye said.

“You’re not worthy,” the youth said.

“Is that so?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes,” the youth replied.

The black snake turned its head slightly, no longer staring at Xiao Mengyu, but fixed its vertical pupils on Shen Ye, slowly rising from the ground—

The battle erupted in an instant.

Shen Ye suddenly leaped forward slightly, his hands carrying swirling lightning and pressing into the void.

The black snake swung its tail horizontally, striking Shen Ye’s palm with full force.

A thunderous roar echoed.

People only saw that Shen Ye was striking at nothingness, completely confused as to why such a resounding impact from a confrontation occurred.

However, the faces of the important people sitting in the distance changed color.

“Impossible.”

“He saw it?”

“—Is that for real!”

“Divination eye? Awakened at this age?”

People whispered.
