Although there were five people from the Soaring Eagle Squad, only Linlong and Lu Lingling had the ability to enter the headquarters.
As for Linlong, Lu Zhiyi believed that he had a high chance of entering the headquarters. Therefore, he was only worried about his daughter, Lu Lingling.
Of course, he was also worried about Linlong. After all, Linlong had just come into contact with demonic arts. It would be dangerous for him if he encountered someone from the Divine Justice Hall or any other opposing hall.
Soon, it was the Soaring Eagle Squad's turn to compete. The first to compete were the three people apart from Linlong and Lu Lingling.
These three people disappointed Lu Zhiyi because they were defeated cleanly by their opponents. Moreover, judging from the strength they had displayed, it was almost impossible for them to enter the headquarters.
At that moment, the other members of the Soaring Eagle Squad could only place their hopes on Linlong and Lu Lingling.
Soon, it was Lu Lingling's turn. She was the first to step onto the stage.
Lu Zhiyi's expression immediately darkened when he saw Lu Lingling's opponent. This was because his opponent was from the Divine Justice Hall and was very strong.
The opponent was decided by drawing lots. However, this coincidence made Lu Zhiyi feel that something was wrong. He felt that the judge who had drawn the lots must have done something.
Therefore, he stood up and said to the three elders, "Elders, I feel that there's something fishy about the drawing of lots. How could my disciple have coincidentally drawn such an opponent?"
Lu Zhiyi was worried that his opponent was too strong. Moreover, he was from the Divine Justice Hall.
As soon as Lu Zhiyi finished speaking, the expression of the elder in charge of drawing lots immediately darkened.
"Hall Master Lu, do you think that I'm cheating?" He said coldly.
"Elder Feng, I just feel that this is too much of a coincidence." The other party's identity, status, and strength were obvious. Lu Zhiyi did not dare to challenge him directly and could only reply in this manner.
"There are too many coincidences in this world. Without coincidences, there wouldn't be a story. Therefore, this can't be helped," Elder Feng said in a dignified manner.
In reality, he was the one who had cheated in secret. However, even if others knew this was the case, he still had to appear righteous. He did not want others to use his words against him.
"Hallmaster Lu, it's hard to avoid coincidences. Lu Lingling can only blame her bad luck. Of course, this isn't a battle of life and death. It's just a competition. You don't have to worry."
"Indeed, Hall Chief Lu, you don't have to worry. It's not a competition that will determine your fate."
The other two elders said so.
What else could Lu Zhiyi do after hearing their words? He could only curse the people from the Hall of Divine Justice for bribing Elder Feng.
"Alright, let the competition begin." Following the words of an elder, the competition between Lu Lingling and her opponent officially began.
"Junior Sister Lu, fists and feet have no eyes. You have to be careful later." The person opposite Lu Lingling chuckled.
As he spoke, he directly activated his demonic art. In an instant, his entire body was buried in billowing black gas.
Most people would look like this when they used demonic arts, so it wasn't anything strange.
But in the next moment, everyone who was looking at him revealed a shocked expression. That was because his body was actually burning with a flame that seemed like a black bone chain. This flame was constantly wriggling on his body, and it was extremely strange.
"That's the Black Bone Chain Flame!"
"I've heard that a demon sect disciple obtained a spiritual fire like this. I didn't think that he would be the one to obtain it. How surprising."
"The Hall of Divine Justice really hid it well. To think that they would only reveal it in a competition like this."
"With this Abyssal Bone Chain Flame, it's impossible for Lu Lingling to win."
The moment they saw the spiritual fire on the person from the Hall of Divine Justice's body, gasps of shock rang out in the crowd. Amidst the gasps, no one thought highly of Lu Lingling.
At this moment, Lu Zhiyi's brows were tightly knitted together. He had a bad feeling about this.
Lu Lingling, who was on the stage, was extremely shocked.
Based on reputation alone, her spiritual fire paled in comparison to her opponent's.
However, a competition like this did not allow one to admit defeat. Hence, she could only bite the bullet and activate her spiritual fire.
Suddenly, she made her move. In an instant, demonic energy mixed with countless skulls whizzed towards her opponent.
Just as it was about to hit her opponent, it suddenly formed a wall. It was the Skeletal Demon Wall.
Lu Lingling used her strongest move right from the start in order to catch her opponent off guard.
Such an attack would definitely catch an ordinary person off guard. However, her opponent smiled proudly. At the instant when the Skeletal Demon Wall attacked, he moved his hand and the black bone chain that was wrapped around his body immediately attacked the Skeletal Demon Wall.
In an instant, the originally ordinary looking black bone chain actually exploded with a powerful energy.
With a "boom", the seemingly indestructible Skeletal Demon Wall was directly destroyed by the black bone chain.
Not only that, the black bone chain swept towards Lu Lingling with its remaining power.
At this moment, Lu Lingling did not have the strength to fight back. She could only watch as the black bone chain swept towards her.
Right at this moment, a figure suddenly shot in front of Lu Lingling and struck out with a palm. At the critical moment, the palm struck the black bone chain. The force of this palm was so strong that it directly shattered the black bone chain into nothingness.
Because of this, Lu Lingling was lucky enough to avoid being injured by the black bone chain.
After the figure landed on the ground, the crowd looked up and realized that it was Lu Zhiyi.
Seeing that Lu Zhiyi had interfered, the people from the Divine Justice Hall were dissatisfied.
"Three elders, Hall Master Lu has violated the headquarters' rules and openly interfered in the competition between disciples. His crime is unforgivable!"
"Three elders, I strongly request that the Soaring Eagle Squad be disqualified from this competition. Let them return home!"
"This is looking down on our Holy Gate's rules. Three elders, we can't let them off so easily!"
Hearing such words, Lu Zhiyi's face turned ashen. However, Lu Lingling was his daughter. How could he bear to let her be injured by the opponent's attack? One must know that with the attack of the black bone chain, Lu Lingling would definitely not be able to save one of her hands.
"Everyone, please calm down!" An elder said to the people from the Divine Justice Hall and the crowd with a solemn face.
This time, the Soaring Eagle Squad was in danger. They might be disqualified because of this. Some neutral people had such thoughts.
Although they could see that the people from the Divine Justice Hall had evil intentions, the other party's actions were within the rules and they wouldn't be punished.
Lu Zhiyi's actions were different. He had completely violated the headquarters' rules. Even if it was an act of justice, he would definitely be punished.
Hearing the elder's words, everyone quieted down and waited to see what he would say.
Lu Zhiyi was still calm at this moment. He directly said to a disciple behind him, "Quick, look for Elder Lu and tell him about this."
Elder Lu was also at the martial arts field today, but he wasn't with them.
The disciple hurried to look for Elder Lu after receiving the order.
Before the three elders could come to a conclusion, the disciple returned in a hurry. Seeing that he was alone, the faces of the people from the Soaring Eagle Squad turned ugly.
"What's going on? Why isn't Elder Lu with us?" Lu Zhiyi asked anxiously.
"Elder Lu said that he's not free." The disciple's expression was ugly.
Hearing this, the people from the Divine Justice Hall became even more arrogant.
Elder Lu is not free? How is that possible? Lu Zhiyi could see that the other party was just looking for an excuse.
Could it be because of that matter? Lu Zhiyi quickly found out the reason.
After Lu Zizhen went to the mystic realm to snatch the spirit fire and failed, Elder Lu sent someone to ask if he, Lu Zhiyi, was the one who leaked it.
Lu Zhiyi naturally denied that he had leaked the information. Although the possibility of Lu Zhiyi leaking the information was very small, Elder Lu still blamed Lu Zhiyi in the end.
Knowing that Elder Lu was determined not to help him, Lu Zhiyi could only sigh helplessly.
At this moment, the three elders also came to a conclusion.
"In view of Hall Master Lu's behavior and the fact that it is not easy for Hall Master Lu's disciples to cultivate, we have decided to report to the Vice Sect Master and cancel the Soaring Eagle Squad's right to participate in the next two competitions!" One of the elders said.
Cancel the Soaring Eagle Squad's right to participate in the next two competitions! Hearing this, the faces of the Soaring Eagle Squad disciples who came with Lu Zhiyi immediately turned ugly.
This was undoubtedly cutting off their chances of entering the headquarters in the future.
Although they still needed to report to the Vice Sect Master, they were familiar with the Demon Sect's rules and knew that this was already the result.
Of course, if Lu Zhiyi had some connections, he could still change the result. However, the problem was that Lu Zhiyi relied on the most, Elder Lu, did not care about him. What ability did Lu Zhiyi have to change the result?
In other words, this was the final result.
Their faces were ugly, and Lu Zhiyi's face was naturally ugly too. Because in this way, which talented youth would want to join the Soaring Eagle Squad?
In this way, the Soaring Eagle Squad would be in a state of decline for at least a few years.
However, to his relief, the three elders did not cancel the qualification this time. Otherwise, Lu Lingling and Linlong basically had no hope of entering the headquarters.
As soon as this result was announced, the people from the Divine Justice Hall immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Three elders, this won't do. The Soaring Eagle Squad should be disqualified this time."
The elder who announced the result previously had a dark expression. "The result has been announced and will be reported to the Vice Sect Master later. If you have any objections, you can look for the Vice Sect Master."
"If anyone still blabbers on, don't blame us for being merciless!" Another elder said like this.
As for the elder who helped them cheat, he kept his mouth shut. He had helped enough, and it would not be good if he spoke up again.
