Chapter 1042: Head-on Clash!
"If each quota is 20,000 two-star Yuan Stones, and if all nineteen of them can be sold, that would be 380,000 two-star Yuan Stones, equivalent to 38 million one-star Yuan Stones. It can be considered a sizable income!"
Su Yi kept muttering to himself, his eyes full of stars.
Thinking about this large amount of income, how can one not feel excited?
Xi Wuqing, Su Xiaoshuai, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and others ignored Su Yi and each went to meditate.
Su Yi didn’t waste too much time. For him, the 38 million one-star Yuan Stone was indeed a windfall, but he had to get it in his hands first for it to count.
In addition, owing the Lingbao Pavilion one billion Yuan Stone was a huge sum compared to this small amount of money, which could only be considered a drop in the bucket.
A night of silence.
The next day, Su Yi and his companions didn’t arrive at the competition arena until the afternoon, to watch the upcoming final showdown.
When they appeared, the square was truly buzzing with excitement.
The youth from the Overlord Sect represented absolute strength, even their individual power far surpassing the combined efforts of twenty disciples from other forces.
He was promoted directly early on and obtained one of the ten qualifications.
Such a legendary character, loved and talked about by everyone.
"The Green Dark Sect is really strong, they have been defending the stage until now."
Su Yi glanced at the stage and noticed that the members of the Green Dark Sect were still there.
Apart from the four exceptional cultivators, the most powerful one was the arrogant young man, who had reached the eighth grade of the Yuan True Realm, a stable cultivation level.
After a little inquiry, Su Yi and his companions found out that the Green Dark Sect had claimed a stage yesterday evening and had been guarding it until now. They still had a relatively intact fighting force, but not many dared to challenge them.
"And what about the Sun Flame Sect? It seems they’re doing well?"
Su Yi’s gaze shifted and he saw that the people from the Sun Flame Sect were still on another stage.
However, compared to the Green Dark Sect, they seemed a bit more unfortunate.
More than half of them had injuries, and some were quite serious, causing their fighting strength to be greatly affected.
I have to admit, this group is really strong, even with a few individuals added. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.
"This is the second chance for Sun Flame Sect. They were defeated in the morning, but after a short rest, they sent those people who defeated them off the stage."
After asking some people watching the match, Su Yi heard this news.
But looking at the current state of Sun Flame Sect, it might not be an easy task to continue holding on until the end.
But it’s hard to say. After all, everyone who is able to participate has already done so, and everyone who has fought is more or less injured.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, while Su Yi was thinking, some familiar figures approached the registration desk, handed over their tokens, and then stepped onto the stage.
And this stage was taken by Sun Flame Sect!
"Mysterious Sword Gate chose Sun Flame Sect. It’s also a way for those scattered cultivators to vent their frustration, right?"
Xi Wuqing raised an eyebrow and said something to Su Yi.
Su Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words.
In front of their gaze, the seventeen disciples from the Mysterious Sword Gate, along with Chen Chuan, Shen Hong, and Ye Haokong, stood together in front of the twenty members of the Sun Flame Sect.
When they saw Chen Chuan and the others, Tang Tianxing, Shi Rongchang, and Du Zhao from the Sun Flame Sect were clearly surprised.
"I didn’t expect you three to find another recruit. You’re quite lucky!" Tang Tianxing said sarcastically.
Tang Tianxing was a young man with a sharp mouth and unpleasant demeanor, making people uncomfortable to look at.
He spoke coldly to Chen Chuan, Shen Hong, and Ye Haokong.
However, Chen Chuan and the others completely ignored him. After exchanging a glance with Yu Wenxuan, Ji Hanluo, and the others from the Mysterious Sword Gate, they immediately took action!
Sword lights shot out from these young and powerful individuals, falling like a rain of light, fiercely sweeping towards the crowd from the Sun Flame Sect.
The silent Mysterious Sword Gate made a move, making everyone in the Sun Flame Sect look unhappy.
As the battle continued, their expressions became more and more gloomy.
The Mysterious Sword Gate was much stronger than the Sun Flame Sect, and what’s more, they hadn’t participated in any competitions from yesterday till today. They were fully prepared and quickly gained the upper hand.
The Mysterious Sword Gate only had one chance left, so they attacked with even more speed, trying to drive the Sun Flame Sect off the stage with the least possible cost.
"The Sun Flame Sect cannot be trusted, they brought this upon themselves!"
Watching the battle, Su Yi murmured to himself.
He knew that the Mysterious Sword Gate might be trying to save face or they might also value Chen Chuan and the other individual cultivators. That’s why they targeted the Sun Flame Sect right from the beginning.
"The outcome will soon be clear, it’s Mysterious Sword Gate’s turn to defend the platform!" Huang Jian added.
Indeed, it didn’t take long for the Sun Flame Sect to admit defeat under the powerful attacks of the Mysterious Sword Gate.
They already lost a lot of combat effectiveness, if they continue to fight fiercely against Mysterious Sword Gate, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not attack them deadly.
Especially those few casual cultivators like Tang Tianxing, they are even more afraid that Chen Chuan will take the opportunity to kill them.
"Damn it!"
After being driven down from the platform by Mysterious Sword Gate, Tang Tianxing couldn’t stop cursing in his mouth.
His face turned pale and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He never expected that they would be defeated by Chen Chuan and his group. According to the situation, Sun Flame Sect should have had a good chance of winning.
"It’s all because of those casual cultivators. If it weren’t for them, maybe Mysterious Sword Gate wouldn’t have deliberately targeted our Sun Flame Sect!"
The disciples of Sun Flame Sect grumbled and directly blamed Tang Tianxing, Shi Rongchang, and Du Zhao for everything.
They have used up their second chance, and Sun Flame Sect is completely out of the competition.
"Your Sun Flame Sect’s ability to burn bridges is truly remarkable!"
After hearing those words, Tang Tianxing suppressed his anger and responded sternly.
Both sides were only using each other, in a cooperative relationship. It was shameful to label each other as failures.
As a result, there was an instant conflict between Sun Flame Sect and a few wandering cultivators, including Tang Tianxing.
"It serves them right!"
Some onlookers spat and maliciously cursed.
This matter didn’t affect the minds of the crowd much. Soon, they turned their attention back to the developments on the platform.
Not long after winning the platform at Mysterious Sword Gate, two other forces came forward to challenge them.
However, these two forces were relatively weaker and were both defeated by Mysterious Sword Gate.
But after these two intense battles, the Mysterious Sword Gate also suffered losses. Some disciples were even injured. Although they can still fight, their strength has been greatly reduced.
"Liuhe Sect, this should be their second time challenging, right?"
Under Su Yi’s observation, the people of Liuhe Sect appeared on a platform and started challenging the defending forces.
This Liuhe Sect is not weak either. Although they are not as powerful as Mysterious Sword Gate or Green Dark Sect, they are still quite formidable.
However, they had bad luck. The opponents they challenged unexpectedly hid their strength and suddenly burst out, catching Liuhe Sect off guard. Unfortunately, they lost with a slight disadvantage.
"What a pity!"
Su Yi felt a bit regretful. He had a decent impression of Liuhe Sect.
The two elders who led the team to Nine Star City, as well as the children of Liuhe Sect’s master, had some interaction with Su Yi. However, it was only a casual acquaintance.
"We could consider selling the quota of Overlord Sect to them!"
Suddenly, Su Yi had a clever idea and thought so.
Since Liuhe Sect had not had any conflicts with him and had shown some goodwill in their meetings, Su Yi was willing to form a friendship with such a force.
But the condition was that the other party definitely had to offer enough bargaining chips to exchange for his spot in the Overlord Sect.
"There is less than an hour left before the end of the arena battle. The forces remaining on the stage at that time will qualify. Any remaining opportunities in hand will be invalidated."
Just as Su Yi was contemplating, Huang Jian next to him spoke softly.
This is one of the rules of the preliminary arena battle. When time’s up, after the fights on the stage are completely over, the arena master will ultimately advance and qualify for the next round.
"Is there only an hour left?"
Su Yi raised an eyebrow. The preliminary selection competition was about to come to an end, and there probably wouldn’t be any major changes in the field.
Those who could guard the arena definitely had a certain level of confidence. It would be extremely difficult for others to resist forcibly.
"Hmm, what does the Green Dark Sect want to do?"
Suddenly, Xi Wuqing was taken aback and said with surprise.
Su Yi and the others all turned to look, only to see a group of people on the Green Dark Sect’s platform, wanting to challenge them.
And at first glance, it was clear that the Green Dark Sect had a considerable advantage, yet they unexpectedly surrendered and stepped down.
After stepping down, they didn’t stay and instead headed straight for the platform where the Mysterious Sword Gate was located.
The Green Dark Sect has been guarding the platform from yesterday evening until now, and they still have one chance to challenge.
This time, they directly gave up their own platform and used this opportunity to climb onto the platform of the Mysterious Sword Gate.
"It seems like the Green Dark Sect is in direct confrontation with the Mysterious Sword Gate!" Su Yi frowned and murmured.
He knew that there was a great feud between the Green Dark Sect and the Mysterious Sword Gate.
If everything goes as planned, after this alliance conference, Ji Tianfu will definitely make a move against the Green Dark Sect to avenge the kidnapping of Ji Hanluo a few months ago.
However, this is already the second time that the Green Dark Sect has plotted against the Mysterious Sword Gate during this alliance conference.
At this moment, the people from the Mysterious Sword Gate have just finished a battle and haven’t taken any medicine to recover yet, while the Green Dark Sect is standing right in front of them.
"What a formidable Green Dark Sect! Do they really think they can easily provoke the Mysterious Sword Gate?"
In the crowd, Ji Tianfu’s eyes are filled with determination and a cold gleam.
However, he is powerless to do anything. Regarding the preliminary selection of this conference, he can only rely on fate.
