Huang Chunrong now understood. It was no wonder the Chu Clan had challenged the Tang Sect. If the Tang Sect had been in the Chu Clan's position, it would definitely have challenged a sect that was being suppressed.
Thus, this time, the Tang Sect was truly going to be knocked out of the Ten Minor Schools. What they needed to consider was whether they would have a chance to return …
Chu Tianxin withdrew his finger from Huang Chunrong's throat. After Huang Chunrong turned around, he smiled and cupped his fists. "Thank you for letting me win!"
Huang Chunrong smiled bitterly and cupped his fists. Without saying anything more, he turned and left the stage.
"The Chu Clan has challenged the Tang Sect. The first match was between Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the Chu Clan has won. Next is the second match between Golden Core cultivators! Both sides, please send your representatives onto the stage! "the Grand Elder of the Ruins Town announced formally, his face still expressionless.
After Chu Tianxin left the stage, Grand Elder Chu Yunteng stood up and walked onto the stage. Although the Chu Clan had many Golden Core cultivators, only Grand Elder Chu Yunteng had reached Golden Core consummation. For safety's sake, he could only send Chu Yunteng to fight.
But when Chu Yunteng stepped onto the stage, the Tang Sect did not follow. Instead, they discussed among themselves for a while, and then someone stood up and said, "There's no need to fight this match. Our Tang Sect admits defeat!"
The audience instantly fell into an uproar. The Tang Sect had already lost one match. If they admitted defeat now, they would be handing over their position as one of the Ten Minor Schools. Even if the Tang Sect still had a chance to gamble, that would still require a thousand spirit jades. For this thousand spirit jades, they should at least stake it all, right?
Chu Yunteng froze for a moment before understanding dawned on him. The Tang Sect was probably trying to preserve their strength. Through the first match, he knew that the Chu Clan's techniques just so happened to restrain the Tang Sect. Rather than fighting the Chu Clan head-on, even if they could win one or two matches, it would be a pyrrhic victory. It was better to take a step back, circle around the Chu Clan, and then find a weaker sect to gamble with and return to the Ten Minor Schools.
In any case, obtaining a spot in the Ten Minor Schools without bloodshed was much better than fighting to the death. Chu Yunteng smiled and cupped his hands to the Tang Sect. "Thanks for letting me win!"
The person who had stood up to speak also cupped his hands to Chu Yunteng and then sat back down.
The Grand Elder of the Ruined Town signaled for Chu Yunteng to leave before announcing the results of the challenge. "The Chu clan has successfully challenged the Tang Faction and become one of the Ten Minor Powers. The Tang Faction has been relegated to the last place!"
For the Great Tang Sect to voluntarily concede, regardless of the reason, the Chu clan's strength was evident. The smaller sects in the audience all looked at the Chu clan's square formation with envious gazes. The rise of this clan was basically unstoppable.
"Next is the Profound Theory Sect's battle wager. Have you gathered all the Spirit Jades?" The Great Elder of Ruins Town didn't have a good impression of the Chu clan, so he didn't say anything else and directly asked about the Profound Secrets School's intentions.
Actually, the Xuanji Sect was also in a difficult position. Among the Ten Minor Sects, the weaker ones were the Xuanyu Sect and the Tang Sect. Other than these two sects, the Leaf Spirit Sect and the Thousand Blades Sect were also very weak. However, these two sects were related to Lin Yi, so the Xuanji Sect couldn't just slap Lin Yi in the face, right?
The problem was that they had already agreed to the wager battle, so they couldn't cancel it even if they wanted to. If they said that they didn't gather all the Spirit Jades, then it wouldn't be as simple as losing face. Instead, they would be ridiculed by others and become a laughing stock for bragging … After all, a sect's wealth was also very important!
Li Yunjia handed the bag of Spirit Jades to the people of Ruins Town, then said, "We have gathered all the Spirit Jades. As for the sect we want to challenge, our Profound Secrets School will choose the Leaf Spirit Sect!"
It wasn't strange for those who didn't know the relationship between the Profound Secrets School and the Leaf Spirit Sect. After all, among the Ten Minor Sects, besides the Thousand Blades Sect, the Leaf Spirit Sect was the weakest. Moreover, the Thousand Blades Sect had a Nascent Soul Great Circle cultivator, and Ling Tianyou had insta-killed an opponent that was a major realm higher than him. Speaking of which, the Thousand Blades Sect was definitely not to be trifled with. Choosing the Leaf Spirit Sect was the inevitable result.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Others might not know, but there was no way the Profound Secrets School didn't know about his relationship with the Leaf Spirit Sect. Why did they still want to challenge the Leaf Spirit Sect?
Could it be that Hong Xuanlei thought that he could do whatever he wanted after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage? He had said that he wasn't allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Profound Secrets School. Was he going to break his vow now?
As for Li Yunjia, Lin Yi didn't suspect him. This guy was quite similar to Xin Yijie. Generally, it was unlikely that he would make such a decision. Although he was the one who said it, Lin Yi was more suspicious that Hong Xuanlei was behind this. However, it wasn't appropriate for Lin Yi to say anything in this situation. He could only continue to wait and see.
The Great Elder of Ruins Town had a strange look on his face. As a member of the Qiankun Sect and the Great Elder who was in charge of the entire Ruins Town, he was naturally more aware of the situation on Lin Yi's side. Now that he saw that the Leaf Spirit Sect and the Profound Secrets School were fighting each other for the position of the Ten Minor Sects, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't happy.
Suppressing the urge to laugh out loud, the Great Elder of Ruins Town said calmly, "The Profound Secrets School is challenging the Leaf Spirit Sect, one of the Ten Minor Sects. The first match of the Foundation Building stage will begin immediately. Both sides, send your people onto the stage!"
"Wait!" As soon as the Great Elder of Ruins Town finished speaking, Li Yunjia raised his hand and said, "There's no need to fight. The Profound Secrets School admits defeat!"
"Admit … admit defeat?" Let alone the Great Elder of Ruins Town, even the spectators below the stage found it hard to understand. What on earth was going on?
"You're saying that the Profound Secrets School admits defeat in this Foundation Building stage battle?" The Great Elder of Ruins Town asked uncertainly. It was rare to see two closely related sects fighting each other. Wouldn't it be boring if one side admitted defeat?
Li Yunjia shook his head solemnly and said, "Of course not!"
The crowd relaxed and thought to themselves, "That's more like it. If you admit defeat, why the f * ck did you take the initiative to challenge them? Hurry up and fight! Don't you know that everyone is waiting to watch a good show? "
To be honest, the Great Elder of Ruins Town's thoughts were exactly the same as the spectators below the stage. However, what Li Yunjia said next made the Great Elder of Ruins Town roll his eyes involuntarily.
"What I'm saying is that there's no need to fight. The Profound Secrets School admits defeat in this wagered battle!" Li Yunjia enunciated his words clearly to ensure that no one would mishear a single word.
However, the people who heard this all felt that there was something wrong with their ears. This idiot spent a thousand spiritual jade to challenge them just to admit defeat? Was he crazy, or had the world gone crazy?
The Great Elder of Ruins Town could not believe what he was hearing. For a moment, he was so stunned that he even forgot to speak.
