"Min De, the Hall Master will arrange for you to fight against Lin Li in the next round. You have to do your best to injure him so that he won't be able to enter the headquarters!" Elder Shen instructed Min De.
"Don't worry, Elder Shen. Even if you and the Hall Master didn't say that, I would still do my best to deal with Lin Li." Min De said proudly, "Of course, in my opinion, I don't even have to use my full strength to deal with Lin Li."
"Of course, Min De, your talent, abilities, and spirit fire are all above Gu Tao's. Naturally, it would be easy for you to deal with Lin Li." Elder Shen nodded. Not only was he speaking the truth, but he was also flattering Min De.
Given Min De's abilities and talents, he would definitely achieve great things after entering the headquarters. By then, a small division elder like him would not be able to compare to him at all.
"Thank you, Elder Shen," Min De said.
Although he said that, he still had a proud expression on his face. It was obvious that he did not care about Elder Shen at all.
As there were two rounds consecutively, they rested for half a day after this round.
Lu Zhiyi took advantage of this time to look for Elder Lu. Although Elder Lu's words had already explained Elder Lu's attitude, Lu Zhiyi was afraid that Elder Feng would play tricks on him again. He could only put down his pride and look for Elder Lu.
Elder Lu did not avoid meeting him.
Once he saw Elder Lu, Lu Zhiyi immediately said, "Elder Lu, Elder Feng is using trickery to specifically target the Soaring Eagle Squad. Can you help us out?"
The reason why he still looked for Elder Lu was naturally because he was afraid that the people from the Hall of Divine Justice would play tricks in the dark again and get the stronger people from the Hall of Divine Justice to deal with Lin Long and Lu Lingling.
Although Lin Long had performed well just now, the other party had stronger people after all. This was what he was worried about.
As for Lu Lingling, he was even more worried. If Lu Lingling were to face an expert like Fang Minde, she would have no chance of winning at all.
However, Elder Lu said sarcastically, "Hall Master Lu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm afraid that if I help you, you will play tricks in the dark again. I'm not that kind of person."
"Elder Lu, I really did not leak the information about the spirit fire," Lu Zhiyi said with a long face.
Although he felt that it might have something to do with Linlong, he naturally couldn't admit it at a time like this.
Who would have thought that Elder Lu would still be so sarcastic? "I really can't. I don't want to be such a nice person."
After that, he said to the person beside him, "Let Hall Master Lu go back. I need to rest."
Hearing Elder Lu's order for him to leave, Lu Zhiyi could only walk back gloomily.
He didn't return to the Soaring Eagle Squad's camp directly. Instead, he went to the camps of other acquaintances. Of course, he didn't just want to meet them face to face. He also wanted to gather information about the Divine Justice Hall.
"Hall chief Lu, I didn't expect that the Divine Justice Hall would actually move a branch hall to your southwestern great tribe in order to deal with you." Upon seeing Lu Zhiyi, a hall chief involuntarily said.
"Hall Master Lu, could it be that you secretly seduced his wife? Otherwise, why would he hold such a grudge?" The person beside the hall master couldn't help teasing him.
"Sigh …" Lu Zhiyi sighed, "It's a long story, but this is a private matter, I don't want to tell you."
Upon hearing Lu Zhiyi's words, the people beside him didn't say anything.
They could have joked just now, but seeing Lu Zhiyi's expression, it wouldn't be wise to continue joking.
After that, the hall master said, "Your disciple named Linli is really strong. I heard that he just joined your Soaring Eagle Squad recently."
"This disciple's strength is indeed unexpected." Lu Zhiyi nodded.
"According to what the Hall of Divine Justice has done, they will most likely send their strongest member, Minde, against your disciple, Lin Li, in the next round. Given Minde's strength, Lin Li has to be extremely careful," said the Hall Master.
"How is Minde's strength now?" Upon hearing that the hall master mentioned Minde, Lu Zhiyi hurriedly asked.
He came here to find out about Minde's strength. Hence, he naturally had to ask about it at this time.
Although he had some understanding of Minde's strength, the Divine Justice Hall had recently blocked the information, so he didn't know much.
It was also because of this that he didn't even know that Gu Tao had the Black Bone Chain Flame.
"Minde's realm is probably only slightly stronger than your disciple Linli, but that's not the main point. The main point is that Minde has also obtained a type of spiritual fire, and it's said that its power is much stronger than the Black Bone Chain Flame," the hall master said.
Upon hearing the hall master's words, Lu Zhiyi was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of spiritual fire is that?"
"I don't know what kind of spiritual fire it is. The Divine Justice Hall is very strict about the news. If it wasn't for the fact that I have some friendship with their deputy hall master, and that the deputy hall master accidentally revealed it, I wouldn't even know about this." The hall master shook his head.
Upon hearing the hall master's words, Lu Zhiyi didn't have the mood to continue talking. He immediately bade farewell and returned to the Soaring Eagle Squad.
"Father, what's wrong?" Lu Lingling couldn't help but ask when she saw Lu Zhiyi's worried look after returning from a trip.
"I went out and heard that Minde seems to have a spiritual fire that's even more powerful than Gu Tao's. Moreover, he's already very strong, so he's like a tiger that has grown wings. I'm afraid Linli won't be a match for him," Lu Zhiyi said.
Although Linlong's true strength was definitely stronger than Minde's, Linlong could only use demonic techniques. This was what Lu Zhiyi was worried about.
"Is that so?" Lu Lingling said. After thinking for a while, she said, "Father, you don't have to worry. Junior Brother Linlong is very strong. He didn't even use his strongest strength just now …"
Immediately, Lu Lingling told Lu Zhiyi about her sparring with Linlong in the Nine Evil Qi Pavilion.
Upon hearing that Linlong still had a powerful move that he hadn't used, Lu Zhiyi was naturally very surprised.
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved." Lu Zhiyi nodded.
Although he said that he was relieved, he was actually still a little worried. After all, Minde's strength was obvious.
While he was not worried about Linlong, he was naturally worried for Lu Lingling. He prayed that the Hall of Divine Justice would not choose someone to deal with Lu Lingling because of Linlong.
In Lu Zhiyi's heart, the third round of the competition soon began.
After a while, it was Lu Lingling's turn. Looking at Lu Lingling's opponent, Lu Zhiyi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Lingling's opponent was not from the Hall of Divine Justice, and his strength was also average.
After a series of sparring, Lu Lingling finally defeated her opponent.
Looking at Lu Lingling's performance in the process, Lu Zhiyi couldn't help but smile. Based on Lu Lingling's performance in the previous rounds, no matter how the elders chose, Lu Lingling would still be able to enter the headquarters.
Next, they just had to wait and see Linlong's result.
Of course, with the strength that Linlong had displayed, he could have entered the headquarters long ago. The only worry was whether the people from the Hall of Divine Justice would use some underhanded methods.
Soon, it was Linlong's turn. When he saw Linlong's opponent, Lu Zhiyi's expression immediately turned ugly. That was because the worst-case scenario had occurred. Linlong was actually up against Min De.
At this point, even the dumbest person would know that Elder Feng was behind this.
The disciples of the Soaring Eagle Squad did not dare to say anything, but Lu Zhiyi was different. He immediately scolded, "Elder Feng, people from the Hall of Divine Justice, aren't you going too far? How dare you collude with others to such an extent that you can't even conceal it!"
Elder Feng's expression turned cold as he loudly said, "Hall Master Lu, you can't make irresponsible remarks without evidence. If you continue to make irresponsible remarks, I will report this to the sect master and your Soaring Eagle Squad will never have the chance to participate in the competition again!"
Although everyone present could tell that he was the one behind this, he was not afraid at all since no one had any evidence.
"I'm not making irresponsible remarks. Everyone present saw that you, Elder Feng, were behind this!" Lu Zhiyi said angrily.
"Hall Master Lu, do you have any evidence? If you do, please show it to us. If not, we can immediately arrest you and bring you to the vice sect master!"
"That's right, Hall Master Lu. If you have evidence, show it to us. If you don't, we can immediately arrest you and bring you to the vice sect master!"
The other two elders from the main altar said helplessly when they saw Lu Zhiyi's expression.
Naturally, they could tell that Elder Feng was behind this. However, Elder Feng's strength was clear for all to see. Moreover, there were a few elders in the main altar who were on good terms with him. Hence, they finally chose to say such a thing after seeing each other all the time.
Of course, they did not speak too confidently. If Lu Zhiyi could produce evidence, they would still stand on his side.
However, how could Lu Zhiyi produce any evidence?
When he saw that the two elders were about to make a move, Lu Zhiyi could only sit down indignantly.
"Alright, I hereby announce the start of the competition!" Elder Feng immediately announced proudly when he saw Lu Zhiyi's expression.
Then, Lin Long and Min De stood on the stage.
Min De looked to be a year or two older than him. He was extremely handsome and had a proud expression on his face.
His appearance naturally attracted the attention of many young ladies below the stage.
Min De's looks would definitely charm many young ladies, but compared to Junior Brother Lin, I don't think he can beat Junior Brother Lin at all. This thought flashed through Lu Lingling's mind.
The people below the stage were naturally discussing who was stronger and who would obtain victory.
"Min De's talent and abilities are much stronger than Gu Tao's. Recently, there were even rumors that Min De had obtained an even more powerful spiritual fire. It looks like Min De has a higher chance of winning."
"It's not just a higher chance. There's no doubt about the outcome of this battle. Min De will definitely win this competition!"
"That's right. Be it in terms of ability, talent, or spiritual fire, Min De is not someone Lin Li can handle."
"How can Lin Li's seemingly ordinary spiritual fire compare to Minde's?"
