Starting from the third day of the tournament, the atmosphere finally cooled down. There were no more scenes of shrews fighting each other, and the casualty rate also plummeted. Both sides went all out, perfectly displaying the spirit of competition, and won the applause of the audience. As for Moonless, her expression was still indifferent, but it was no longer overcast, which made many people greatly relieved.
However, Wang Lu knew that the calmer Moonless was, the less time was left for him.
As the organizer of the tournament, so far, all the situations were in his plan, including the bloody and violent scene of the previous two days, as well as Moonless' initial anger, were all in his careful plan. However, now the situation had gradually begun to get out of his control.
The purpose of Wang Lu's tournament was straightforward: to borrow Moonless' harem members to give himself some experience, and then wait for the opportunity to run away — although these harem members lacked actual combat experience, and they had been fighting in the harem for many years, most of them were, after all, monks of the Temple of Heaven. Their basic skills were quite solid, and their magical treasures and props were also endless. Even if such an opponent was not a strong enemy, it was also not a weakling.
However, there must be a suitable excuse to brush other people's harem. No matter how ruthless Moonless was to her harem, she would not let others slaughter her. Therefore, Wang Lu designed a life and death tournament. At the same time, in order to guide Moonless' mood, he also deliberately designed the scene of the previous two days. On the surface, he designed the tournament to determine the opponent by drawing lots, but through under-the-table manipulation, he arranged the people who had grudges against each other as his opponents. Especially in the first few groups, their hatred was absolutely irreconcilable. Then, as the contestant in the first group, he crushed his opponent into minced meat in an extremely ruthless way, which directly brought the bloody atmosphere to the arena. Then, even if it was inertia, it would make the contestants behind him kill each other.
This kind of inferior fighting scene was deliberately done by Wang Lu, and as expected, Moonless was deeply dissatisfied with it. Thus, in the midst of Moonless' dissatisfaction, the two fights between Wang Lu and Liu Li stood out and decisively won the interest of Moonless.
Wang Lu's original intention was to let Moonless' interest support her to continue to watch, and as long as Moonless was interested in the fight between Wang Lu and Liu Li, they could safely continue to fight in the arena until the harem concubines were either killed or injured. At that time, Wang Lu and Liu Li, who had gained enough experience, could also prepare to withdraw.
But now, this step had to be brought forward. His and Liu Li's performance did arouse the interest of Moonless, but Moonless' interest was obviously beyond expectation. Especially when she looked at the immortal sword Skybreaker, the greed in her eyes became more and more obvious … Wang Lu knew that he seemed to have underestimated the greed of Moonless as a vassal king.
He thought that with the previous sword strike that he and Liu Li launched together, with his own Non-Phase Method and Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi, he could create a great enough backing to make Moonless hesitate to take action. However, unexpectedly, the king of Palace of Heaven was already on the verge of being blinded by greed.
Aside from being a political figure, Moonless was also a cultivator, a powerful cultivator that could be counted on one's fingers in the Heavenly Earth. Although she was not a sword cultivator in the strict sense, the Skybreaker had a supreme attraction to any cultivator.
Wang Lu believed that when she witnessed Liu Li defeating Chi Qiongying with the power of the Skybreaker, the greed in her heart became more and more uncontrollable.
That being the case, Wang Lu had to speed up the process. On the one hand, he revised the match list, so that the viewing value of the tournament skyrocketed, in an attempt to distract Moonless' attention. On the other hand...
"Thank you for letting me win."
Wang Lu cupped his hands toward the woman who knelt on one knee in front of him and then floated down the arena.
With Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi as the main attack and Non-Phase Sword Defense as the main defense, Wang Lu used one hundred and thirteen moves to defeat a low-level Yuanying Stage concubine. And in order to win, the other party even burned a lot of her innate vitality.
This fight could be called the most wonderful fight since the beginning of the tournament. Wang Lu fought a Yuanying Stage cultivator with the King Pill. Although the process was more daunting than dangerous, it was not easy. Therefore, the harvest was unprecedentedly rich. He clearly felt that his primordial spirit was more condensed, his Jade Mansion more stable, and the King Pill shone brightly with vitality … Just this fight alone was better than a month of closed-door training. However, the problem was that, according to this momentum, Wang Lu's next opponent would be the main concubine, Concubine Xiao Yun.
This was, of course, the result of the black box operation. Otherwise, Concubine Xiao Yun should've met Liu Li in the next round. However, Wang Lu forced her to be in front of him.
Concubine Xiao Yun, of course, also guessed that Wang Lu was behind this operation, but she didn't care. Whether it was Wang Lu or Liu Li, in her opinion, it was all the same. The two of them were in the same group, so whoever they taught a lesson to was the same. And no matter who it was, she had enough confidence that she could win.
Concubine Xiao Yun was different from the other concubines in the harem. She was Moonless' legal spouse, no doubt the mistress of the harem. She was of noble birth, and her strength was far more powerful than her peers. Even Moonless himself was not her opponent in the same stage. Moonless opening a harem in Moon Capital was also the result of Concubine Xiao Yun's acquiescence. If not, even with Moonless' overbearing attitude, he wouldn't be able to open a harem.
Concubine Xiao Yun has seen the strength of Wang Lu and Liu Li very clearly. If they were in the same stage, she was far from their opponent. However, she was now a middle-level Yuanying Stage cultivator, with more than a hundred years of cultivation, and full of magical treasures … Even the martial arts arena in Moon Capital was personally built by her.
The time, place, and people were all on her side, so what if Wang Lu was strong?
—
"In view of this, please allow me to go out and purchase some props and equipment for combat preparation."
In the inner hall of Moon Capital, Wang Lu submitted an application to Moonless to go out.
Moonless was lying on the throne of Moon Capital. The red eye of the skull face carefully looked at Wang Lu, and then sneered. "What a lame reason. Do you think I will give you the opportunity to escape?"
Wang Lu avoided Moonless's question and insisted on his own opinion. "Although the inventory in Moon Capital is rich, the props that I need are not here."
Moonless sneered. "What do you need? Just give me the list, and I will have someone to purchase it for you. In the Palace of Heaven, there is nothing that I can't buy. "
Wang Lu said, "The authority of Moonless Harmonious Heaven is supreme in the Palace of Heaven, and I have a deep understanding of this. However, the Palace of Heaven is not just your own Palace of Heaven. As the empress, Concubine Xiao Yun's authority is second only to you. I'm worried that my list would fall into her hands not long after it is sent out. If so, my card would be exposed to Concubine Xiao Yun in advance, which would be too disadvantageous for me. "
"Oh, you have a sharp tongue." Moonless still sneered. "Then try to overcome the disadvantageous conditions to fight. You are a sword cultivator, so you should have the willpower to overcome all difficulties."
Wang Lu said, "So I am now trying to overcome your obstruction and fight for a chance to win for myself … I know that you are worried that I will run away, so I will leave a hostage in Moon Capital. My Junior Sister Liu Li will stay here. If I don't return, she will be at your disposal. "
"What a joke. Aren't the two of you at my disposal now?"
Wang Lu still avoided the threat of Moonless and continued his own topic. "Moreover, if I can win, it will also be a great advantage for you, won't it? Moon Capital doesn't need two masters, and the harem doesn't need a empress with weak authority. Unfortunately, there are some things that are not easy for you to do, but in the arena of life and death, everything is possible. All you have to do is to give me a chance. "
Moonless suddenly opened his right eye. "Very well, then I will give you a chance. But if you don't do what you promised … "
Wang Lu said with a smile, "It's easy for you to take my life."

After Wang Lu walked out of Moon Capital, he went straight to the barren mountain on the border. The secret agent of Palace of Heaven who followed behind him only followed for a short distance before he disappeared without a trace. When he wanted to follow again, he was blocked by two primal chaos heaven splitting sword qis that came from nowhere.
In desperation, the secret agent of Palace of Heaven had to turn back and pray that he would not be slapped to death by the angry Lady Harmonious Heaven.
After returning to Moon Capital, the secret agent was not killed by Moonless. After listening to the report, she remained silent and then left the throne in a flash and came to a bedroom in the harem.
A girl as clear as jade and as elegant as a sword sat on the futon, closed her eyes and meditated, cultivating her spirit and nourishing her sword. She placed the Skybreaker on her chest, forming a mysterious channel between her and the sword.
What a brilliant sword heart, what a great immortal sword Skybreaker … Seeing this scene, Moonless could not help but feel a little envious.
If she could have such a qualification, such an immortal sword, perhaps she would no longer be the present her. The vassal king of Harmonious Heaven sounded awe-inspiring, but compared with those who truly walked on the top of the immortal path, what did she have?
However, while Moonless was in a trance, the girl in front of her had become erratic and vaguely illusory.
Moonless instantly reacted. What was left in the bedroom was just a brilliant illusion. Once a Deity Stage cultivator approached it, the illusion would be difficult to maintain. As for the real person, no one knew how far she had run away.
Moonless's anger suddenly erupted. "... What a bold girl!"
The next moment, the left hand of the white bone stretched out, and the power of death shrouded her. The bedroom seemed to be filled with the wailing of millions of wronged souls. And Liu Li's figure broke and disappeared without a trace. There was only the immortal sword Skybreaker floating in mid-air. Feeling the approaching power of death, the immortal sword issued a sharp buzzing sound, which, in a split second, squeezed out the elegy of the wronged souls, causing Moonless to feel the turbulence in her Jade Mansion.
What a great immortal sword. Even without a master, it could shake a Daoist Master of Deity Stage with its own power alone … However, it was, after all, an ownerless object.
Moonless retracted her left hand and stretched out her right hand, which symbolized life, and directly touched the hilt of the Skybreaker. Immediately, the sword transmitted a countershock force. However, the sharp turn of life and death weakened the countershock force a lot.
Moonless focused her mind and quickly suppressed the Skybreaker. Then, looking at the empty bedroom, a trace of amusement welled up in her heart.
Two little guys, using an immortal sword to play the cicada shedding its carapace? How audacious, sharp, and decisive.
Were it not for the immortal sword, as the master of Moon Capital, how could Moonless not notice that Liu Li's aura had disappeared from Moon Capital? Even the way she escaped could be guessed by Moonless — it must be that when Wang Lu left, he took away her Skybreaker, and then Liu Li used the method of person and sword exchange to put the Skybreaker in Moon Capital, and then her real body escaped.
However … leaving behind the Skybreaker was not a loss. It was just that, why did she always feel that she missed a trick?
However, just as Moonless intended to further explore the Skybreaker, the sword in her hand suddenly swayed. The quaint sword disappeared and was replaced by a flaming flying sword.
Moonless was stunned for a moment, and then she angrily crushed the flaming sword with her left hand made of white bone.
Liu Li could not only exchange the person and the sword, but she could also freely exchange the position of different flying swords. Just a day ago, she used this trick to trick Chi Qiongying into putting the Skybreaker into the Solidifying Jade Bottle, which led to the tragedy. And now, she used this trick to exchange the civet cat for the crown prince!
"... You two have done a good job."
Moonless softly said to herself. Her voice was trembling, her body was trembling, the whole moon was trembling, and so was the Palace of Heaven.
"Within three days, I will take the lives of the two of you!"
The determination of a Daoist Master of Deity Stage turned into a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
