Cheng Haonan and Long Kuiba were stunned for a moment. Only then did they realize what was going on. They secretly gave Wu Bao Liang a thumbs up. If it wasn't for his timely answer, they would have been dead on the spot.
It was obvious that Boundless Sea had wanted to kill them. After all, killing a few evil cultivators could make his Four Seas Escort Agency famous. There was no reason not to do such a good thing.
On the other hand, Boundless Sea didn't want to let go of the opportunity to deal with Ling Yi, so he suddenly asked.
If Ling Yi was easy to deal with and his subordinates could deal with him, then he wouldn't need Wu Bao Liang and the others to kill the evil cultivator. However, if Ling Yi wasn't easy to deal with and his subordinates couldn't deal with him, then he would need to weigh the pros and cons.
Fortunately, Wu Bao Liang's reaction was fast enough and his answer was witty enough, so they were able to escape. Boundless Sea didn't make a decision that was disadvantageous to them.
The reason was simple. If Ling Yi could cripple a peak early stage Nascent Soul expert, then a normal Golden Core expert wouldn't be able to deal with him. At least, they wouldn't have a 100% chance of winning. So, if Boundless Sea wanted to deal with Ling Yi, he could only borrow Wu Bao Liang's hand. This way, he wouldn't be disadvantageous to them.
In the end, the hatred for Ling Yi surpassed the benefits of killing the evil cultivator. Boundless Sea's decision allowed Wu Bao Liang and the others to escape.
"I wonder what Chief Escort Hai's arrangements are?" As soon as the crisis was averted, Cheng Haonan hurriedly asked impatiently.
"Tomorrow is the last round of the competition. The content isn't much different from the past. The entire day will be a challenge," Boundless Sea revealed.
"Oh? Then, Chief Escort Sea, what are the rules of this challenge? " Long Kuiba asked. It wasn't just to deal with Ling Yi. He wanted to know the rules of the competition in advance, even if it was just one night earlier. It would also allow him to prepare more carefully, which would affect the final score.
"The fifth round of the competition is called the Escort Agency Free Challenge." Boundless Sea looked at the three and didn't hide it. It didn't affect him anyway, so it didn't matter if the three knew beforehand. "At that time, each escort agency will have two chances to challenge other escort agencies. At the same time, they will also have two chances to fight. The bet for each match is 100 points. The winner gets 100 points. The loser loses 100 points. "
"The stakes are so high?" Long Kuiba's eyes immediately lit up when he heard that. If he won all four matches, he would be able to obtain a total of 400 points. Especially if the points were plundered from the opponents, the difference would be even greater when the points were added together.
Even though the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency was currently outshining the rest of the pack, with a huge gap of 400 points between them and the second place team, if they played their cards right in the fifth round of the competition, even the Dragon Boat Escort Agency, which only had 110 points, would be able to win. It was not impossible to surpass it!
"That's right. The previous rounds were just small skirmishes. The last round is the real highlight. This has always been the rule of the South Continent's Escort Agency Grand Gathering. That's why you can use this opportunity to challenge the Equal Heaven Escort Agency. "Boundless Sea nodded.
"Challenging the Equal Heaven Escort Agency is not a problem. However, what if Ling Yi refuses to accept the challenge?" Cheng Haonan and the others looked at each other worriedly.
That was very likely to happen. Just like in the first round, Ling Yi did not personally participate. If it was the same tomorrow, Ling Yi would not be able to participate. If it was the same tomorrow, even if they could steal points from the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency, they would not be able to take the opportunity to kill Ling Yi. That would be too regretful.
"Don't be in such a hurry. What I just said were the original rules of the competition. However, in order to deal with Ling Yi, I can think of a way to add a special rule." Boundless Sea smiled mysteriously.
"Oh? What do you think, Chief Escort Sea? "Cheng Haonan and the others cooperated and asked.
"I've already had people investigate beforehand. That Ling Yi's status in the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency is that of an honorary escort head. That's why, in addition to the regular competition, I can add an escort agency head challenge." Boundless Sea narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"An escort agency head challenge?" Cheng Haonan and the others were stunned. They did not understand what he meant.
"It's very simple. The rules of this additional challenge are that all participants can directly challenge the Golden Core stage upper echelons of each escort agency, including the head escort, deputy escort head, and honorary escort head. Moreover, they can challenge them an unlimited number of times. The escort agency cannot refuse the challenge!" After saying this, Boundless Sea could not hide his delight as he took a sip of the high quality spiritual tea.
Cheng Haonan, Wu Baoliang, and Long Kuiba digested this for a while before they finally understood the huge advantage this special rule brought them.
"That's great! Chief Escort Sea, this special rule is practically tailor-made for us. It's very practical! "Long Kuiba was overjoyed.
"Then Chief Escort Sea, when the time comes, as long as we challenge the upper echelons of the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency, Ling Yi will have to accept the challenge?" Cheng Haonan and Wu Baoliang were also overjoyed.
"Of course. Otherwise, wouldn't my special rule be for nothing?" Boundless Sea smiled coldly. "Unless the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency forfeits and is willing to be removed from the Southern Continent Escort Agency Alliance, they will have to follow the rules."
"Haha, that's right, Chief Escort Sea is mighty!" Cheng Haonan and the others laughed in agreement.
Coming to the Four Seas Escort Agency was the right decision. Even though there was a slight risk, if they hadn't come, how could they have had such a good opportunity to deal with Ling Yi?
With just Cheng Haonan and the others' abilities, they might not have had a chance to deal with Ling Yi until the end of the conference. However, things were different in Boundless Sea's hands.
He was the chief escort of the Four Seas Escort Agency, the head of the five judges of the conference, and the one who set the rules of the game! If he wanted to do something to someone, it was too easy. Moreover, he would say it in a dignified manner. Even if the others were dissatisfied, they couldn't object. Status determined everything. This saying was not false at all.
"However, what if when the time comes, when we challenge the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency's upper echelons, Ling Yi still refuses to accept the challenge and sends someone else to fight?" Long Kuiba was still a little worried.
Even if Boundless Sea's special rule was passed, the Southern Continent Escort Agency Grand Conference was a competition between the 32 escort agencies. It wasn't just a display of one person's strength. No matter what competition it was, the premise was that the escort agency was participating.
In other words, if Wu Baoliang really wanted to issue a challenge, he could at most challenge the upper echelons of the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency. It was unlikely that he would directly challenge Ling Yi. Otherwise, it would become purely a personal grudge. Where would the dignity of the Southern Continent Escort Agency Grand Conference go?
