"What did you say!" Chef's expression darkened instantly, as if something was about to explode from his body.
Yet Yan Luo didn't notice this, instead turning back to send a voice transmission to Shen Ying beside him. "Little girl, cooperate with me."
"Hmm?" Shen Ying faltered, suddenly lifting her head to give him a strange look. "Big Brother, you're playing with fire, do you know that?"
"…" What the hell was this tone of a domineering CEO?
Yan Luo faltered for a moment, but still directly reached out to pull Shen Ying up, turning his head and continuing with some excitement. "If you want to save this lady, then do your best, otherwise … Eh? Eh! "
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a huge wave of Sword Qi suddenly engulfing the sky and covering the earth. A huge golden sword instantly appeared above his head, smashing down right on top of his head. For a moment, he only felt his Qi churning, the array beside him instantly shattered, the sky full of murderous intent surged over, even the three-legged bird below could not withstand it, falling down with a thud.
Yan Luo was completely stunned, in the midst of the sudden appearance of Sword Qi and murderous intent, not to mention resisting, he couldn't even open his eyes, boundless fear instantly engulfed his entire body, there was only one word in his mind: Die. He could only widen his eyes, watching the huge sword above his head, chopping straight down towards him, about to hit him.
"Chef!" Yet a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
That sword instantly paused, stopping less than half a foot above his head, slowly turning into spots of light and disappearing. In the next moment, the other party's cold as ice reply came from beside him.
"Don't touch my Master!" Unknowingly, Yi Qing had already appeared on the array stone, turning to hug the person beside him, looking at him with a face full of murderous intent.
Shen Ying also reached out and patted his shoulder. "That's why I said, don't play with fire!"
Yan Luo: "…"
In the next moment, his legs gave way and he sat paralyzed on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his head, only then did he realize something.
"Foodie, are you alright?" Lonemoon also flew over.
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded, turning to look at the three-legged bird beneath her feet. "Do you guys think, this … can be eaten?"
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. Indeed, worrying about her was unnecessary. She was still thinking about food at a time like this.
Chef took out his knife out of habit. "Try it and you'll know."
With that said, he jumped down with a knife in one hand and Shen Ying in the other, heading towards the Beast Guarding Array. As if sensing its fate, the Beast Guarding Formation started crying out crazily. However, it was suppressed by the sword Qi and could not move at all. It looked like it was about to die under the saber.
"Wait!"
Two voices sounded at the same time!
"The knife is keeping the bird!" Yan Luo finally reacted.
Buggy below also hugged onto Yi Qing's leg. "Great Immortal, you can't kill this!"
"Why?" The master and disciple asked in unison.
"Ah?" Yan Luo was stunned. "Because … because this is a Formation Guarding Beast!"
Shen Ying frowned. "Are the array-guarding beasts poisonous?"
"…" There's no poison, but you guys are! Who would want to kill an Array Guardian Beast?
Instead, Buggy had an idea and hurriedly said, "Great Immortal, the Three-legged Firebird is Yang City's guardian beast, there's only one, you can't kill it!"
"Oh." Shen Ying then called Chef back. So it's to protect animals, then there's no other way. She turned to look at the bird on the ground in disappointment.
The entire firebird shuddered under her gaze, when the sword Qi on its body lightened, it immediately screeched and turned to burrow back into the fire hole on the ground, shivering. Before it went in, it even grabbed the array heart stone with one claw and covered it firmly back to its original spot, pretending that it had never come out.
Yan Luo: "…"
Lonemoon: "…"
Buggy: "…"
Probably even the bird's life would be filled with schemes.
"You guys …" Yan Luo then turned to sweep a glance at the few people present, recalling that terrifying sword Qi earlier, his body shuddered instantly. He suddenly understood why they had to hide their strength when they were breaking the array earlier. With this kind of strength, not to mention him, even in the entire Void Land, it would be hard to find a match. For a moment, he was even more puzzled. "Seniors have this kind of strength, why … did you come to participate in the league?"
"Why, can't we participate?" Lonemoon asked in return.
Yan Luo stiffened. "It's not that you can't, it's just that … this competition is a competition between the disciples of the various academies."
"Aren't we disciples too?"
"…" Who are you lying to? Are there disciples with your level of cultivation?
"Teacher Yan, who set the rule that disciples can't have higher cultivation?" You guys didn't restrict the contestants' cultivation level, you're blaming me?
"…" That makes so much sense. Yan Luo's expression darkened, so there was such a trick. Though it was stated from the start that it was a competition between academies, there was indeed no restriction on cultivation level, much less whether the participants were disciples or teachers, it was just that everyone automatically took it as disciples.
Lonemoon admitted it when he saw that he was exposed. "We passed by this place and saw that this competition was rather interesting, so we signed up for fun."
"…" Was it so interesting to bully a bunch of little kids? He really wanted to say, shameless! But he couldn't beat them, he really didn't dare to!
Now that he thought about it, what Ren Qing said previously might have been true. During the first competition, these people entered their mystic realm, captured the beasts they reared, and even sold them to their disciples who were participating in the competition … and even almost captured their array guardian beast just now.
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Yan Luo felt bitter.
If they were to organize such competitions in the future, they definitely had to restrict the contestants' cultivation level.

Shen Ying's group of four became the first to pass the second round of competition, and there were even four of them who came out at once. From entering the maze to coming out, it took less than an hour, even the people who tried the maze in the academy in the past did not have such a fast record. Yet what shocked them even more was that it wasn't just these four people, right after them, more and more people walked out of the maze, and all of them were unscathed, as if they didn't encounter any array at all.
The originally estimated six hours of competition time ended in less than four hours, most of the people inside came out. When the competition ended, out of the 75 contestants who went in, 70 passed, only five people didn't come out, or were injured by the array at the start and were sent out prematurely.
Everyone from Spirit Immortal Academy was dumbfounded, this was different from what they thought. It was after all the semi-finals, naturally it was more difficult than the preliminaries. The original plan was that it would be good if 15 people could successfully pass, but in the end, 90% of the people entered the finals, what kind of situation was this?
Only Yan Luo, who was in the know, had a bitter expression, what else could it be? It was caused by those two people who pretended to be low-level disciples to sneak into the competition, even the array guardian beast was frightened and left with serious repercussions. Even if they left, they wouldn't come out no matter what, directly causing the array in the maze to fail collectively. So the so-called maze after that was really just a maze, how could they not get out?
Yan Luo felt bitter, but Yan Luo couldn't say it.
