CHAPTER 155: 154, TOMORROW’S BATTLE SITUATION (2/4)

However, the task system did not respond at all.

But clearly some people already know the name "Immortal Sect".

Wen Ping immediately asked, "System, there are at least ten thousand onlookers, right? The registration officer just loudly shouted out ’Immortal Sect’, why didn’t the task react?"

The system responded, "This value requires positive recognition. The infamy accumulated by the host is negative and does not count towards the task value."

Wen Ping was speechless.

Then he heard the onlookers shouting.

"Who is this?"

"A Starless Sect sits at the front row, this young man is really bold!"

"I thought it was some new big figure, but it turns out he’s the Sect Leader of a Starless Sect. I mean, how could a Two-star Sect big figure be so young."

At this time, the people sitting behind Wen Ping all looked a bit displeased.

They, like these civilians, thought Wen Ping was a big figure from a Two-star Sect, but unexpectedly, not only was he not, but he was also a Sect Leader of a Starless Sect.

The seat that none of them dared to take was occupied by the Sect Leader of a Starless Sect?

Obviously, everyone’s status is higher than his!

Luo Qianye was helpless. Seeing Wen Ping still waving, he quickly pulled him back and said, "Sect Leader Wen, this is the Ten Talents Selection Examination, be more serious."

"Am I not serious like this?"

After speaking, seeing the examination already finished, Wen Ping got up and walked towards the square.

Luo Qianye shook his head with a helpless smile, just about to get up when he saw the steward who hosted the examination for the Hundred Sects Alliance walking over, coldly saying to him, "Sect Leader Luo, you must also know the rules of that seating arrangement. Since he is your friend, I’ll remind you to watch over him and teach him to obey the rules."

Luo Qianye awkwardly smiled and explained, "Steward Long, my friend is young and it’s his first time in Huangli City, he doesn’t understand, please forgive him."

Steward Long’s eyes were cold, looking at Wen Ping’s back with displeasure, he said, "Being young doesn’t mean he can sit wherever he wants. Since you are protecting him, I will consider this matter before reporting it to the Chief. As for how the Chief will react, that depends on his fortune."

"Steward Long, there’s no need to report such a trivial matter, right?"

"Sect Leader Luo, I will consider it. As to whether or not to report it depends on his next actions. If he disregards the rules again, don’t blame me." With that, Steward Long flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

"Steward Long, take care." Luo Qianye nodded and watched Steward Long leave.

When he turned his head, he saw Black Demon with a schadenfreude smile at the corner of his mouth. He immediately snorted coldly and walked off the viewing platform.

After getting off the platform, Luo Qianye really wanted to scold Wen Ping, to tell him why unspoken rules are called unspoken rules.

That’s because they are things everyone abides by, and when one person breaks them, they are resisted by everyone.

If an entire sect is resisted by all the sects in East Lake, how far can it go?

Just when he was about to speak, Wen Ping came over and asked, "Sect Leader Luo, what is tomorrow’s examination about?"

Luo Qianye replied, "Tomorrow is the arena battle, but the rules are not known at the moment. Since the rules change every time for the Ten Talents competition."

"Got it."

Wen Ping nodded.

...

That night, just when one thought the matter would end silently.

Things took a turn for the worse. Originally, the elder—Grand Elder of the Chiba Sect who had brought disciples to Huangli City for the examination, Feng You, came to Biyue Pavilion immediately upon receiving bad news.

After knocking on the door, Feng You immediately knelt in front of Luo Qianye.

"Elder Feng, what brings you here so late?" When asking this, a sense of foreboding crossed Luo Qianye’s mind.

Feng You immediately said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, the impact of this matter is too great, please think of a remedy."

"What happened?"

Feng You sighed and said, "The Barbarian Division and the Flying Dragon Association have set their sights on us."

"Set their sights on us?"

The Barbarian Division is a powerful Two-star force and also a tribe. It’s thousands of miles away from Chiba Sect, usually unrelated to Chiba Sect, so why the sudden focus on Chiba Sect? As for the Flying Dragon Association, it’s even less reasonable, as both sides have always remained in harmony, minding their own business.

Feng You sighed again and then said, "Tomorrow’s arena rules are out. A combination of a 13th realm cultivator with a 15-year-old junior disciple, teams with the most wins advance. Because word got out that the Sect Leader is protecting the Immortal Sect, the Barbarian Division decided to sweep us out of the arena fight."

Sweeping us out means eliminating all from Chiba Sect.

Hearing Feng You’s words, Luo Qianye immediately asked, "Protecting Immortal Sect, when did I ever say that?"

"Just today at noon."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianye furiously said, "Some people are making baseless accusations, exaggerating small issues, so I just spoke a few words for the Immortal Sect. When did I say to protect it?"

"But the Barbarian Division has already assumed so."

"Really unreasonable, wanting to target my Chiba Sect directly. Why use the Immortal Sect as an excuse? What are the strengths of the disciples from the Barbarian Division and Flying Dragon Association? They want to sweep out my Chiba Sect, but my Chiba Sect is not easy to mess with; I’ll sweep them out, leaving them no chance to join the Ten Talents Trial."

The situation already set in, Luo Qianye didn’t want to explain that he and Wen Ping had just met and he was merely saying a few good words, with no intention of assuming responsibility for Immortal Sect.

Feng You sighed and said, "The Barbarian Division has Wanyan Ali, and the Flying Dragon Association has Gong Suohua."

Hearing this, Luo Qianye’s expression turned increasingly sour.

Wanyan Ali, a top prodigy in the Barbarian Division, known for tremendous strength. By 15, he already reached the Body Refining Sixth Layer, and his power can directly crush the Body Refining Seventh Stage. In Chiba Sect, his son, at 15, was the strongest with a realm similar to Wanyan Ali’s, but their strength was worlds apart.

Wanyan Ali was destined to enter the top 100.

As for his son, only at the top 500 level.

And that Gong Suohua is also a ruthless character. He is said to be a prodigy from the Poison Lineage of the Flying Dragon Association, with mediocre cultivation but exceptional poison skills. Even stronger individuals at the Body Refining Seventh Layer would die from his poison attacks.

These two are the top elites of their forces, now both sent to sweep out Chiba Sect.

Luo Qianye slapped the side table.

Bang!

The side table collapsed instantly.

"What else did they say?"

"The Barbarian Leader Wanyan Dadao asks me to convey a message to the Sect Leader, ’I want a hand from the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect.’"

"Hmph!"

"Sect Leader, what should we do? Should I go and explain again that our Chiba Sect never intended to protect the Immortal Sect? What they’re doing is pointless."

Luo Qianye quietly thought: They’re too afraid to come, so they want me to act; what a clever plan.

Luo Qianye could guess, Wanyan Dadao fears, fearing that the one who instantly broke Wanyan Hong’s arm was in the Middle Profound Realm.

They’re finding a reason to threaten him, wanting to use his hand to kill!

After a moment of silence, Luo Qianye coldly said, "Go tell Wanyan Dadao that I’ll be waiting for his disciples at tomorrow’s arena to sweep my Chiba Sect. If they have the strength to sweep out all my Chiba Sect disciples, then I’ve nothing more to say!"
