Swoosh~ Swoosh~
The chilly wind flowed creating a gentle breeze causing the grass to flutter.
Four figures stood in a place, they were the sect master of the blood celestial sect, 2 supreme elders, and elder Xiaofeng, Bai Lungâs master.
Her long smooth blue hair rides the tide of wind, while her eyes seem a little worried.
â Elder Xiaofeng, as you know Bai Lung is missing and hasnât attended the sect, I think we should let another disciple take his place, â The sect master said in a small voice.
â Yes! I think so too, Bai Lung isnât going to come, â Another elder said.
Xiaofeng also nodded her head weakly while she clenched her fist, accepting that Bai Lung wouldnât join the tournament.
However to her surpriseâ¦
â Wait sect master look⦠â the standing elder while pointing at the space where the scene of their sect in the tournament was being played.
Currently, each sect is placed on a different mountain among hundreds of mountains.
The first phase is to collect the treasure and earn points.
Only the top 16 sects with the most points will be selected for phase 2.
Killing is impossible as, as soon as the life saving jade senses the life-threatening condition, it will automatically send you out from the secret realm.
However, if you die( in a sense), it means you will lose all of your points which can be stolen by the killer.
â¦
At the moment, inside the secret realm.
Each sect was on its own allocated mountain, and they were all inside an array,
And as soon as the contest started, the array would lose its effect.
In the Mountain of Blood celestial sect, the space suddenly blurred and a new figure arrived.
It was Bai Lung.
To be honest, he wanted to meet his master and give her a food kiss but somehow he met the tournament organizing elder and was sent here as soon as Bai Lung revealed his identity as a participant in the contest.
Arriving at the mountain, he looked and was confused to ass only 7 members.
Normally, in the first round up to 8 people can participate but what is this?
In their entire sect, they were the only seven who dared to come here.
â Sigh! This is truly disappointing, â Bai Lung shook his head.
However, his focus on was Li Fan, the protagonist.
This guy had previously saved his marks from the arrogant guy named Mo Nang, but, that doesnât mean Bai Lung doesnât dare create trouble for him.
â¦.
While Bai Lung was dissatisfied seeing the worse condition of his sect,
Others were happy leaving aside Li Fan, who has a pretty bad impression of Bai Lung despite Bai Lung not creating any trouble for him.
Itâs just⦠Li Fan can sense something evil and sinister in Bai Lungâs presence.
His sister, who is still alive, also had a negative affection towards Bai Lung however she was very happy to see him because he was a reputed figure and his strength is also unknown, so, he must be strong, she believed.
As for the rest four, they werenât worth mentioning, just some fools thinking they could hold a candle here.
Bai Lungâs piercing gaze swept across the small group of Blood Celestial Sect disciples.
His lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
âSeven?â he spat, crossing his arms over his broad chest.
â Pathetic. With numbers and strength like these, weâll be lucky to even make it past the first round, â He said right into their face, without giving them any face.
After that,
His eyes landed on Li Fan, and a slow, sinister smile spread across his chiseled features.
â Ahem* Ahem* But perhaps our dear friend Li Fan can make up for the rest of your worthless hides,â Bai Lung took a step forward with his movements that felt lithe and predatory.
â After all, we wouldnât want to disappoint our sect, now would we? â
Others instantly looked at Li Fan with narrow eyes, tho, BaibLung didnât put the other four into his eyes but they were geniuses of the Blood Celestial sect.
They were at first to second stage of the Qi Grandmaster realm which is pretty good since most people below 50 are generally at Qi Beginner or few at Qi Master.
They all looked at Li Fan with eyes filled with hatred unable to fathom why this brat was praised while they were seen as trash.
Usually, they would be praised and looked up by others⦠But here! Sigh!
Rather than hating Bai Lung, they were hating Li Fan for taking the spotlight.
They were unable to fathom what was so special about this guy who was just at the second level of the Qi Master realm.
But, the next moment their face shifted nervously towards Bai Lung, sensing the underlying threat in Bai Lungâs words.
The competition will start soon and they might be the weakest sect here. Subconsciously, all of them have put Bai Lung into a leadership position aside from one figure.
â¦
Li Fan tensed,
His hand instinctively moved towards the hilt of his sword with his gaze narrowing with suspicion.
â Well! I believe you all know whatâs at stake here,â Bai Lung continued, his voice dropping to a low, menacing rumble.
â Failure is not an option. Weâll do whatever it takes to secure victory even if it means eliminating a fewâ¦â distractionsâ along the way,â
His piercing eyes swept over the group, daring anyone to challenge him.
Then, with a dismissive wave of his hand, he turned and sat in a chair waiting for the barrier array to diminish.
ââ¦â
Li Fan was bamboozled, unable to comprehend what just happened, he thought something bad was about to happen but Bai Lung just went and took a seat.
While Li Fan was confused others nodded their head at Bai Lungâs words, they may be weak but failure isnât an option, if they can eliminate a few disciples of other sects, they can gain a huge advantage.
First, the enemy sect will lose some points while they will gain some.
