Chapter 1065: Continue To Challenge
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
When everyone was finally seated, a shadow of a Celestial Luck Banner suddenly appeared in the sky over the Residence of Nine Supremes. It flickered once and then vanished.
In the next moment, a pure black Celestial Luck Banner with ‘Residence of Nine Supremes’ written on its surface appeared in the sky. As the banner fluttered, a shadow of the banner appeared over the head of everyone from the Residence of Nine Supremes.
But, the phenomena only lasted for a brief moment, and then all the shadows were gone. Only the black Celestial Luck Banner was still waving against the wind over them.
Staring at the Celestial Luck Banner from a distance, Huo Yunfeng said lightly, “If the Celestial Luck Banner descends, it means the title has been fixed and you will only have the opportunity to challenge three years later. But, it is hanging in the sky right now. Supreme Cloud, do you mean to keep challenging?”
“Yes!” Yun Yang answered. “Residence of Nine Supremes wishes to challenge Thousand Mountains Sect, the next higher sect with a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner. Please grant us the permission, Your Honorable!”
“You have won all five matches, so you don’t need the permission from anyone to keep challenging.”
“Sect Leader Du Yangfan, do you have any objection?” Huo Yunfeng asked in a loud voice.
The sect leader of Thousand Mountains Sect, Du Yangfan, smiled and said, “This is the rule of the Celestial Luck Banners, and my sect is never afraid of a challenge!”
“If that is the case, you may proceed with the challenge.”
“As the challenged sect, Thousand Mountains Sect has the right to change the order of the matches,” said Du Yangfan. “If I may ask, Your Honorable, is that true?”
“Yes, you have the right to do so.”
“We choose the match of disciples as the first match, followed by the match of pillar forces and the match of formations. The fourth match will be a match of free will, and we will fight with a random method. The last match will be the match between the top experts of both sects. What do you think of this arrangement, Sect Leader Yun? Do you have any objection?”
Yun Yang’s face was full of smiles. “The order of the matches is not our concern. You may arrange as you please and we will follow accordingly.”
As the decision was made, the people from all the other sects smiled at the same time.
‘The Sect Leader of Thousand Mountains Sect is indeed a tactful man!’
Three men from Residence of Nine Supremes had fought in the previous challenge. Their strength was extraordinary, and among them, sect leader Yun Yang was the strongest, followed by Luo Dajiang. Judging from their prowess alone, no one from the bottom few sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners could be the match of these two men, not to mention the Thousand Mountains Sect.
Therefore, as long as Residence of Nine Supremes fought the match of sect leaders and the match of top experts with these two men, they could almost certainly secure two wins. If that happened, the Thousand Mountains Sect would be in a dangerous situation.
But, Du Yangfan did not follow the conventional pattern and found a chance to win in the established rules.
First, it was Shi Wuchen. Even though his performance was not extremely weak in the previous match, it was not strong either. There were plenty of men in the Thousand Mountains Sect better than him.
And the first match, the match of disciples, was the key to Du Yangfan’s planning…
From what he could see, the weak spot of Residence of Nine Supremes was not Shi Wuchen, but the disciples. There were only ten of them, and half of them were children. It proved that they did not have many disciples.
It was true that each of these disciples appeared to be amazingly gifted, but Residence of Nine Supremes had been established not too long ago. Even their leader, Yun Yang, was very young, which meant that these children had not cultivated for a long time and their strength must be very weak. The odds for Thousand Mountains Sect winning the match of disciples were extremely high.
Moreover, once the match was won, no matter what happened later, Residence of Nine Supremes would not be able to challenge another sect. As a result, all the higher-ranking sects would have to thank Thousand Mountains Sect for gaining them at least three years. It was a tremendous favor.
Furthermore, Du Yangfan had deliberately placed the match of top experts to the last, and replaced the match of sect leaders with the match of free will, which was unheard of. His purpose was to cripple the strongest fighting strength of Residence of Nine Supremes.
Once his sect won the first three matches, there was no need to fight the rest. So, even though Residence of Nine Supremes could secure two wins with their two trump cards, it was pointless under such an arrangement.
The main reason why Du Yangfan was confident that his sect could win the first three matches lay in the third match, the match of formations. As everyone knew, Thousand Mountains Sect had a formation that was invincible among the formations of the same rank. It was also this formation—called ‘the Seven Star Combat Formation’—that laid down the foundation for them to be one of the sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banner. It could be said to be the cornerstone of Thousand Mountains Sect.
By his calculation, his sect could certainly win the match of formations as well as the match of disciples. And when the expert from his sect defeated Shi Wuchen in the match of pillar forces, he would have secured his victory.
‘No matter how strong you are, you have to wait for another three years.’
‘Even if your disciples have become stronger and can defeat my disciples three years later, you will still have to bow your head before my formation. So, if you wish to climb to a higher position, you will have to wait until six or nine years later.’
‘This is the biggest advantage of being a challenged sect, because I can set the rules!’
Du Yangfan could almost see Yun Yang and the people of Residence of Nine Supremes come with high spirits but scurry away dejectedly, along with the kindness and benefits showering upon him by the other sects with Celestial Luck Banners.
After explaining the relevant matters of the following matches while struggling to maintain his demeanor, Huo Yunfeng’s face turned black immediately as two creditors were waiting for him.
He turned and saw Ding Buke and You Buneng bow at him together. “Thank you for the sixty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade, Boss! You are so generous!”
Each of them could get sixty pieces, which meant Huo Yunfeng had to pay out one hundred and twenty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade.
Even though he was wealthy, he would still feel a pinch if he were to take out so many spiritual jades at one time.
His eyes darted from side to side, and then he thought of another idea. “You have won the bet. It’s undeniable, and I’m willing to accept the loss. However, those who leave immediately after winning the bets are b*stards. I don’t think you will do that, will you? Now that Residence of Nine Supremes is challenging Thousand Mountains Sect, why don’t we bet again?”
Ding Buke and You Buneng sighed. ‘Clearly this guy wants to recover his lost… and if he wins, he wouldn’t mind if he is a bastard or not!’
“How do you want to bet, Boss? Are you the banker again? And what are the odds?”
“We’ll bet like just now,” Huo Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said. “You two are speaking in the same breath, so you must be betting on the same side. Now tell me, who are you betting on this time?”
Both men carefully considered Residence of Nine Supremes’s strength and the order of matches arranged by Du Yangfan, then turned to look at the few little boys and girls…
‘The number one disciple of Residence of Nine Supremes is actually a little girl. She does look pretty and cute, but…can she fight?’
The Residence of Nine Supremes would surely lose the match of disciples.
