"As long as we don't say anything, who will know?" Yu Guihai's expression darkened. He looked at Cao Ming and the other two.
"We won't say anything. We definitely won't."
"We can't just not say anything. Elder Hu, give them the Willpower Pill," Yu Guihai said with killing intent in his eyes.
"Ah …"
The three of them fell to their knees. Being stuck at the Wood Planet realm forever was a fatal blow to them.
"Other than the Willpower Pill, I also have a poison pill. After taking it, you'll die in pain for seven days. Do you want the Willpower Pill or the poison pill?" Elder Hu walked up to the three and said coldly.
The three of them finally nodded after a while under Elder Hu's pressure.
This was not a choice, but a threat!
"Tomorrow, give the pill to Yan Wu, Ye Ming, Zi Ying, and the others, but don't tell them about the side effects." Yu Guihai sneered.
"But Peak Lord Yu, isn't this like killing a chicken to keep warm? Ye Ming and Zi Ying are the future of the sect." Yue Han frowned.
"Sect?"
Yu Guihai smiled disdainfully. "The Tiangang Sword Sect has no future. Once the Third Prince succeeds, we will all enter the imperial city and be crowned kings. Why should we stay here?"
Everyone smiled when they heard that.
Fifteen days later, the Five Peaks Tournament finally began as scheduled.
On this day, the Dragon Gate Hill martial field was filled with people. The experts of the various peaks had also arrived, except for one person.
That person was Zhou Yang.
"Is Zhou Yang still in seclusion?" Peak Lord Yan frowned.
"Yes, Peak Lord. I went to check. Zhou Yang is still in seclusion." Gai Yang nodded.
"Looks like he did gain something. Don't wake him up for now. He'll stay until the end."
"Understood, Peak Lord. Leave the first three rounds to us. With the nine of us, there won't be any problems in the first three rounds," Gai Yang said confidently.
Peak Lord Yan nodded. Just as he was about to leave for the spectator stand, he saw Cao Ming and the others rushing over.
"Peak Lord, Senior Brother Cheng asked me to tell you that he suddenly felt unwell. I'm afraid he won't be able to participate in the Non-Peak Tournament."
"Impossible. Where is Cheng Yuan?" Gai Yang said angrily.
"He has already left Heavy Sword Peak to find a peaceful place in the wild to recuperate. Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Xiao also went with him …"
"The three of them left?" Peak Leader Yan's face turned pale.
Gai Yang's expression was just as ugly. The three of them were disciples who were second only to him in the Heavy Sword Peak. If the three of them did not participate in the battle, the Heavy Sword Peak would be in even more trouble.
"Also, Peak Master, I ran into some problems with my cultivation today, so I can't participate in the competition."
"And my Peak Lord."
Cao Ming and the other disciple cupped their hands and left.
"Sigh …"
Peak Lord Yan and Elder Lie both sighed. Out of the nine of them, five had left at once. This was a disaster for them.
"Peak Master, it seems like Morning Sun Peak is behind this. But don't worry, Peak Master. Even if I'm the only one left, I'll definitely hold on until Zhou Yang comes out."
After saying that, Gai Yang walked to the Martial Arts Platform.
On the Martial Arts Platform, all the participating disciples from the five peaks went up one by one.
"Look, it's the Moonradiance Peak's Sword Commander Bai Lian and Wen Die, and the Radiance Peak's Sword Commander Yan Wu."
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Zi Yuan of the Radiance Peak is away and can't participate."
"It's indeed a pity that Senior Brother Zi Yuan isn't participating. Doesn't that mean that Senior Brother Ye Ming is the only Peak Lord disciple this time?"
"Nonsense. Other than Ye Ming, there's also the Heavy Sword Peak's new Peak Lord disciple, Zhou Yang. And don't forget about Miss Ye Zhining."
"Zhou Yang is nothing. He only fought a few rounds with Senior Brother Ye Ming, so he can't be considered a true Peak Lord disciple. But Miss Ye Zhining is indeed worthy of her name."
"Of course, she's a peerless genius who possesses a Celestial Star Soul!"
The crowd discussed animatedly. In a short moment, all the Sword Commander Disciples had arrived on the Martial Arts Platform.
Sky Sword Peak's Zi Ying and Mo Changge, Moonradiance Peak's White Lotus and Wen Die, Yaori Peak's Yan Wu, and the recovered Morning Sun Peak's Bai Hao!
Other than the Sword Commander Disciples, there were also many Guardian Disciples. Other than the Heavy Sword Peak, the other four peaks had more than eight people.
But this wasn't the end.
Each peak could send ten people to participate in the Grand Competition of the Five Peaks. It was impossible for the four peaks to not have enough people.
It was because the stronger Peak Lord disciples hadn't arrived!
"Ye Ming, it's Senior Brother Ye Ming. He's here."
There was a commotion on the Martial Arts Platform. Ye Ming strode in and walked to the stone platform. All the disciples automatically made way for him.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, a cold shout came from Elder Lian of the Sky Sword Peak. In the next moment, everyone quietened down.
"Roar …"
At this moment, the cry of a phoenix rang out from the Moonlight Peak. A colorful light appeared on the Moonlight Peak. Everyone saw a girl wearing a phoenix robe stepping on the colorful light. Beside her was Long Jue, who wore a golden dragon battle robe. The two of them, one dragon and one phoenix, were full of majesty.
The crowd of disciples explained with reverence on their faces. Some of them even felt their legs turn to jelly.
"Miss Ye Zhining, it's Miss Ye Zhining."
"The cry of a dragon and a phoenix. The Third Prince and Miss Ye are indeed a perfect match …"
"Not only is Miss Ye a peerless genius, but she's also so noble and elegant. She can make the world lose its color and the sun and moon lose their luster."
Even when Long Jue and Ye Zhining landed on the ground, the crowd was still full of praises.
"Miss Ye, you don't have to go on stage. Just stand here …" Elder Lian walked to Ye Zhining's side and said with a smile.
Ye Zhining glanced at Elder Lian coldly before her gaze stopped on the Martial Arts Platform. "Where's Zhou Yang?"
"He … he doesn't seem to be here." Elder Lian frowned.
"He's not here? Is he afraid? "A disdainful smile flashed across Ye Zhining's lips.
"He should be afraid."
Elder Lian said as he looked at Peak Lord Yan. "Peak Lord Yan, I wonder if Zhou Yang of your peak will be participating?"
"Of course he will be participating, but there's no need for him to participate today."
"There's no need …"
Everyone laughed. Yu Guihai laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, he pointed at the four Heavy Sword Peak disciples on stage and said, "Peak Lord Yan, do your Heavy Sword Peak only have these few disciples?"
When the spectating disciples heard this, they began to whisper.
"It doesn't matter how many people there are, as long as they are strong enough." Peak Lord Yan shot a glance at Yu Guihai, but he was fuming inwardly.
"I'm afraid that won't work. The five peaks will each draw lots to choose their opponents on the first day. To advance, they have to eliminate five of their opponents' disciples. Yet, you only have four disciples here. Don't tell me you plan on cheating?" Yu Guihai said with a sneer.
"Bullsh * t. Yu Guihai, stop mocking us. You only need to eliminate four of us in today's battle to win," Peak Lord Yan said angrily.
