Chapter 910: Just in Time
In the audience of nearly fifty thousand, plus the teams from various sects participating in the Hundred Sects Competition, the number of people was enormous.
A flood of information rushed into Fang Yu’s mind.
At the same time, Fang Yu’s gaze was fixed on the area to the left below the fighting platform, where only one woman was standing.
In front of each area, there was a sign.
And on the sign in the area where this woman stood, the three large characters read “Purple Flame Palace.”
Seeing only one person, Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with cold light.
For today’s Hundred Sects Competition, Purple Flame Palace had only sent this woman?
Spreading his divine consciousness across the entire Divine Martial Platform, besides this woman, he indeed couldn’t detect a second aura related to Purple Flame Palace.
Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry.
Even knowing that Purple Flame Palace had been rebuilt, he hadn’t rushed to take action, precisely because he was waiting for this day to come.
Purple Flame Palace wanted to use the Hundred Sects Competition to make a name for themselves in Yan Xia. Fang Yu would use this opportunity to make these remnants of Purple Flame Palace experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell!
Fang Yu retracted his divine consciousness, focusing it on Xiumei.
“This woman… should also be one of the remnants from back then, but on her body… besides the unique aura of Purple Flame Palace, there seems to be another power.” Fang Yu frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Xiumei’s figure.
Although the distance was quite far, Fang Yu could still see that a faint gas was rising from this woman’s body, appearing gray in color.
What was this?
Based on his knowledge of Purple Flame Palace, they had no technique in their sect that could emit such an aura.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu activated his Eye of Insight, bringing his vision closer.
Afterward, in his view, this woman became an amalgamation of various laws.
The layer of gray gas on the surface appeared particularly clear in his vision.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a small spherical object in the position of this woman’s brain.
Zooming in further, he could see clearly that it was a gray sphere.
Currently, the gray sphere was slowly rotating.
“This gray sphere is the source of that layer of gray gas on her body,” Fang Yu thought.
“The second match is about to begin! Please have both sects send out their disciples,” the referee’s voice resounded throughout the venue.
By now, the fighting platform, previously covered in blood, had been cleaned.
Xiumei once again walked out from Purple Flame Palace’s area, leaped onto the fighting platform, and stood straight, her expression composed and indifferent.
The audience looking at this woman felt a chill in their hearts.
No one could forget how tragically that male disciple from Hong Tian Sect had died.
This woman’s ruthlessness formed a stark contrast with her petite figure and sweet appearance.
After Xiumei took the stage, no one from Hong Tian Sect came up for a long time.
The head referee came directly to Hong Tian Sect’s area to inquire about the situation.
“Please send someone up immediately,” the head referee said sternly.
The elder leading the team had an ashen face as he scanned the disciples behind him.
All these disciples lowered their heads, unwilling to go up.
Jiang Xiaolong’s tragic end had made them fearful.
With Jiang Xiaolong’s strength, if not ranked first in the team, he was at least among the top three.
Yet this female disciple from Purple Flame Palace had killed him with a single strike…
No one was willing to risk their life for such a match.
“I’ll give you ten seconds to consider. If I don’t get a response, I’ll consider it a forfeit,” the head referee stared at Hong Tian Sect’s leading elder and said.
The leading elder scanned the disciples behind him again, wanting to speak.
But all the disciples kept their heads down, none daring to volunteer.
The leading elder’s face turned ashen, and in the end, he didn’t say anything.
He looked up at Xiumei on the fighting platform, his eyes bloodshot.
Purple Flame Palace, he would remember this!
When he returned, he would definitely report the entire incident to the sect master and list Purple Flame Palace as a mortal enemy!
“Ten seconds are up,” the head referee said, leaping into the air and amplifying his voice with true qi: “Hong Tian Sect forfeits the second match. The result of the first round, second match of the Hundred Sects Competition goes to Purple Flame Palace from the Central Region!”
These words spread throughout the entire Divine Martial Platform.
“Huh? They just gave up like that? I thought Hong Tian Sect would send out their strongest disciple for revenge in the second match!”
“…This is too cowardly. Even though one person was killed… they should still fight back. That female disciple can’t be that strong, right?”
“If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t swallow this anger… Killing someone right from the start, this is already a blood feud.”
Many spectators voiced their doubts.
On Fang Yu’s side, hearing the result, he frowned.
Originally, he had wanted to use this match to see how strong this remnant of Purple Flame Palace was.
But unexpectedly, Hong Tian Sect directly forfeited.
“The first round, third match will be between Three Harmony Sect from the Jiangnan Region and Great Desert Gate from the Northwest Region. Please prepare to send your disciples to the stage!” the head referee announced next.
“So many people, and almost all are martial artists…” Zheng Ze looked around and said.
Unlike the secular world, the martial world rarely had activities that could gather such a large number of martial artists.
But the Hundred Sects Competition, held once every ten years, had brought together martial artists from all regions of Yan Xia.
“I never thought that competitions between sects… would attract so much attention,” Zheng Ze, not being a sect disciple, was also attending the Hundred Sects Competition for the first time.
The number of people before him was quite shocking.
Fang Yu didn’t speak but looked toward another direction of the fighting platform.
Just now, when he released his divine consciousness to search for remnants of Purple Flame Palace, he discovered two familiar figures.
They had also come…
“I’m going down to meet a friend,” Fang Yu said to Zheng Ze.
“…Alright,” Zheng Ze was stunned for a moment before answering.
…
On the left side of the fighting platform, in the area allocated to sects from the Huaibei Region, there was a small area.
The sign in front of this area also had three characters: Frost Cold Palace.
“Master, didn’t you say that the major sects are all friendly with each other? How come that disciple from Purple Flame Palace killed someone as soon as she went up…” Liu Liansha asked with lingering fear.
Su Lengyun wore a light white robe, and her blue hair, which had been cut short before, had grown back to her shoulders.
Her presence with Liu Liansha became a scenic spot in this area.
Various gazes and looks were constantly directed at them from all four directions.
Hearing Liu Liansha’s question, Su Lengyun didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Logically, sects from different regions normally had no contact with each other, let alone any grudges.
From this perspective, although the sects competed against each other, they generally wouldn’t use heavy-handed tactics, stopping short of causing serious harm.
But that female disciple from Purple Flame Palace had directly killed.
Although the rules of the Hundred Sects Competition allowed killing… who would do so when there was no enmity between the sects?
“Master, what if it’s our turn to go up next, and the opponent also tries to kill us… what should we do?” Liu Liansha continued when she saw Su Lengyun not speaking.
“…Don’t worry, that was just an exception,” Su Lengyun comforted.
“Hmph! It’s all that Zhao’s fault, insisting that our Frost Cold Palace represent the Huaibei Region in this damn competition. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be…” Liu Liansha began to curse angrily.
Su Lengyun covered Liu Liansha’s mouth with her hand and whispered, “If you speak any louder, the referee team might send someone to find you.”
“I’m just upset! There are so many sects in Huaibei, but that old Zhao had to choose our sect full of female disciples to compete… He definitely did it on purpose, claiming it’s for our own good…” Liu Liansha continued without restraint.
Su Lengyun showed a helpless expression.
“Why are you so timid?”
Just then, a voice came from the side.
Liu Liansha and Su Lengyun’s expressions changed, and they both turned to look.
“Brother Yu.” Seeing Fang Yu appear, Su Lengyun’s eyes lit up, and she immediately walked toward him.
Liu Liansha was also stunned for a moment when she saw Fang Yu.
She hadn’t seen Fang Yu for some time.
“Brother Yu, how did you come here…” Su Lengyun walked up to Fang Yu, showing a surprised smile, but also asked with some confusion.
“I came to handle something, and then I found you down here,” Fang Yu said.
Handle something?
Su Lengyun still had confusion in her eyes, but she didn’t ask.
“Fang Yu, you’ve come at the right time!” Liu Liansha looked at Fang Yu, a flash of inspiration in her mind, and ran over excitedly.
