Chapter 296: Final Round Of The Group Match, Blood Moon Ancient Alleys, Five Representatives

“F*ck, these Black Heaven Sect members are way too cocky.”

“That’s right. They were already cocky during the competition and they’re even cockier now. We must find a way to get back at them.”

“Sigh, judging by their stellar performances today, I wonder who’s capable enough to do so. This is way too difficult.”

“Hmph, there’s still a way.”

At that moment, a malicious grin appeared on Lei Mingtian’s face.

The group turned and looked at him.

“Come, let’s discuss this somewhere else.”

Lei Mingtian said softly before leading the group away from Four Seas Inn.

“Sigh, the nail that stands out always gets hammered first!” Administrator Wang sighed as he watched Lei Mingtian’s group leave before he turned to the Black Heaven Sect members who were joyfully clinking glasses with one another.

In the inn.

Various types of delicacies and premium alcohols filled the tables.

Murong Xuan and the other members drank until their faces turned red. It was a joyous occasion.

“Don’t drink too much. We still have to compete tomorrow.” Nangong Huang could not help but be concerned when he observed the other members.

“Haha, but we’re so happy.” Murong Xuan laughed as he put down his beer jar.

“That’s right. You left too early, Nangong Huang. You missed out on all the other Sect Leaders’ sour faces today.”

Jun Yi joined in.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Huan did feel like he had missed out. How could he have missed such a rare and exciting bet?!

“Let them have it. I’ve brought along some alcohol dilution pills.”

Chu Kuangren smiled and said to Nangong Huang.

“Well, you heard the Sect Leader. Drink up!”

Murong Xuan laughed out loud.

Nangong Huang shook his head helplessly and said to Chu Kuangren, “Sect Leader, tomorrow’s the fourth round of the championship which will be a team match. It’s also the final round of the group match.”

“Our points have already set us apart from the rest. I’m sure that in such a situation, the remaining orthodoxies of Group Delta will probably do something out of the ordinary to regain their reputation.”

Chu Kuangren nodded and said, “This is foreseeable. However, it’s times like this that’ll put your previous training to test.”

“Let them come, we’re not afraid!”

Murong Xuan laughed.

The other members were just as confident as he was.

They had prepared so hard for this championship. Under Chu Kaungren’s training, they had even brushed with death many times.

The members had to win this championship not just for themselves, but also for Chu Kuangren who had put all his effort into them for the past few months.

“Sect Leader, just you wait and see. To show our gratitude for your guidance in the past few months, we’ll repay your kindness with victory!” Murong Xuan said with determination.

“Then I shall look forward to that.”

Chu Kuangren smiled gently.

In fact, he did not care about winning the championship at all. However, this championship was a valuable experience for Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, and the other members.

If they did win the championship, then it would be a huge boost in morale and immensely helpful in nurturing a relentless Daoist core!

Such breakthroughs in their mentality could be of great use to their cultivation journey, and one that was even more valuable than any precious pills.

The Black Heaven Sect members were the reason why the other orthodoxies felt threatened.

The dominant presence of the Black Heaven Sect members had shaken the Daoist cores of many sky-prides, which could lead to their Daoist core collapsing, impeding their cultivation journey, and even leading them down a dark path!

…

In First City, the arena of the championship!

The sage orthodoxies began to make their entrances. Just like the previous days, the spectator seats were completely filled.

The only difference was that the audiences were now paying more attention to the Black Heaven Sect than to the competition itself.

They were all eager to find out if the Black Heaven Sect could continue to dominate and maintain their winning streak towards victory!

“Before this competition, I bet no one expected the Black Heaven Sect to end up where they’re now. This is unbelievable.”

“Indeed. While everyone was aware that Black Heaven Sect had Chu Kuangren, very few paid attention to the other members. After a while, it created the misleading impression that the other Black Heaven Sect members weren’t even worth mentioning!”

“The Black Heaven Sect’s performance is surely a wake-up call for everyone.”

“Look, the Black Heaven Sect’s here!”

Following the Black Heaven Sect members’ entrance, the crowd cheered in unison.

Murong Xuan, Nangong Huang, and the other members walked in with their heads held high. Some of them even waved to the audience. They were all in cloud nine.

The other orthodoxy members could only pout at that sight.

Black Heaven Sect had hogged all the spotlight in this championship.

Meanwhile, the other orthodoxies had all been downgraded into side characters.

In the battle arena.

The Thirteenth Prefect was no longer present in the adjudicator’s booth.

He had probably lost so much in the previous day that he no longer had the mood to host this competition. The Twelfth Prefect had replaced his role.

“The fourth and final round of this competition will be a team match. Each orthodoxy shall send five members to compete, amassing a total of thirty participants in each group.”

“The thirty participants will be sent to a random location for a melee. For each opponent the participant defeats, they shall be awarded ten points. The melee would go on until only one orthodoxy remains. The orthodoxy with the highest accumulated points shall proceed into the semifinals.”

When the Twelfth Prefect finished speaking, he raised his hand and clapped it towards the air, where a circle of light suddenly emerged. A surge of spatial force then spread from within.

This circle of light was a gateway into a new dimension.

It was similar to a Sage-made secret realm.

“Now, can the orthodoxies of Group Alpha please send forward your representatives?”

The Twelfth Prefect said.

Soon, each of the six sage orthodoxies of Group Alpha had sent their five participants, who each went and received a bracelet from the Twelfth Prefect.

The bracelet was a teleporter.

Once the wearer sensed that their lives were in danger, they could use the bracelet to teleport out of the light circle. Of course, this would also indicate that the wearer was disqualified.

The sky-prides entered the light circle in succession.

Dozens of screens appeared above the battle arena.

Each screen was showing the live depiction of a small alley in the utter darkness of a night, where a blood moon hung high in the air.

The blood moon cast its light over the alleys, giving it a creepy atmosphere.

This was a secret realm, the Blood Moon Ancient Valleys.

The sky-prides who had just entered the light circle began to appear across the Blood Moon Ancient Valleys. To avoid a huge war from breaking out in the beginning, all of them were randomly scattered across the location.

After all, how exciting could it be if the show ended so soon?

“Look, an Overlord Sage Tribe member’s bumping into a Yasha Tribe member. They’re fighting now!”

Someone in the audience exclaimed.

The screen depicted the two sky prides from two different sage orthodoxies meeting each other before a fight ensued. In the end, one of them was beaten until he could no longer stand.

The victor was awarded ten points.

The group match for Group Alpha lasted for half a day, then came Group Beta and Group Gamma before it was finally Group Delta’s turn. The crowd was immensely excited.

More specifically, they were excited about the Black Heaven Sect in Group Delta.

To the spectators, there was no doubt that the Black Heaven Sect would emerge as the victor of Group Delta. Even so, they were still eager to see just how much the Black Heaven Sect could surprise them.

The Black Heaven Sect had sent forth their five representatives who walked up to the light circle. They were Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, Jun Yi, Jin Feiyan, and finally… Lan Yu!
