"You don't have the right to say whether or not I'm worthy of being a sect leader."
No matter how loyal Zhan Haotian was in the past, Gu Tianyuan was just a chess piece that he used, a chess piece that could be discarded at any time. If Gu Tianyuan hadn't gone against Tie Wu Shan, it would have been fine. But now that he had, he could only use extreme methods to force Zhan Haotian into submission.
"Protector Gu Tianyuan, has Gu Tianyuan broken the rules by doing this?"
Ye Mo cupped his hands and said to Gu Meng, the host of the battle.
"Right, isn't this a little against the rules?"
Some people nodded in agreement.
"The competition of Bao Yue City has always been about strength. If Gu Tianyuan used Zhan Haotian's wife to threaten him, what kind of strength is that?"
Gu Tianyuan listened to the discussions of the people around him, but he didn't seem to care at all. He said, "Strength depends on the stage and the stage. I didn't force Zhan Haotian to do anything. He did it willingly."
"The competition in Baoyue City has never had any rules. You just have to advance to the next round."
There were no rules at all in this competition. Winning was the way to go. As for what happened outside, Protector Gu Meng didn't care at all.
"Alright!"
Zhan Haotian said indifferently, "Gu Tianyuan, hand over my wife and son. Bring them to the Dragonblood Sect, and I'll admit defeat."
"No problem!"
Gu Tianyuan snapped his fingers. He abruptly made a grabbing motion with his hand, grabbing out two figures from the void. It was a man and a woman. The man was delicate and handsome, and the woman was dignified. They were Zhan Haotian's wife and son.
As soon as they appeared, they began to tremble. Zhan Haotian's wife and son were ordinary gods who didn't even know how to use godpower. Standing in front of so many experts, they were so terrified that they couldn't even speak.
Gu Tianyuan pushed Zhan Haotian's wife and son in front of Ye Mo. Ye Mo used a gentle force to hold the two of them and started to calm them down.
In such a grand scene, even a Highgod would tremble in fear when faced with the attention of so many experts, let alone two Lowgods who didn't know how to cultivate at all.
"Zhan Haotian, I've already handed over your wife and son to the Dragonblood Sect. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Gu Tianyuan said loudly.
Zhan Haotian looked at his wife and son, then turned to Ye Mo and said, "Dragon Blood Martial Emperor, I originally promised to be loyal to you for three years. But now, for the sake of my wife and son, I have no choice but to betray you. But, I, Zhan Haotian, am a man of indomitable spirit. Since I can't be loyal to both sides, I can only atone for my sins with my death. I hope you can take good care of my wife and son."
Rumble!
All of a sudden, Zhan Haotian's body trembled. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, breaking through the barrier of the Underworld Earth Arena and striking his head. His body immediately began to explode, and he collapsed to the ground, losing all signs of life.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react in time. Zhan Haotian had actually chosen to atone for his crimes with death.
"What a nice way to apologize with your death."
Gu Tianyuan didn't think that Zhan Haotian would make such a decision. However, his actions made everyone secretly admire him. A person who could do this for a promise of three years was indeed not simple.
At the very least, no one present would be able to do that. Even Ye Mo would, at most, admit defeat. It was impossible for him to choose death.
"Ming Zhenwu, go up and take a look!"
Ye Mo frowned, but didn't say anything. Instead, he ordered Ming Zhenwu to go up and take a look. He was an Alchemist, so he knew how to treat people.
Ming Zhenwu rushed up and landed in front of Zhan Haotian. After examining him, he carried him down from the arena and landed next to Ye Mo. He said, "Clan Leader, this Zhan Haotian seems to have attracted the Clear Sky Lightning of the Heavenly Lightning Movement. It struck his Godhead, causing it to completely shatter."
"This Gu Tianyuan is really ruthless."
Ye Mo clenched his teeth, feeling sorry for Zhan Haotian.
"Clan Leader, this Zhan Haotian isn't really atoning for his crimes with his death," Ming Zhenwu said. "He seems to have activated some sort of method to attract the Clear Sky Lightning. If his Godhead can be repaired, not only will he not die, his strength will also increase by leaps and bounds. But this is also a gamble."
Ming Zhenwu said.
"Is there any way to save him?"
Ye Mo asked directly. "If we can truly gain Zhan Haotian's loyalty, it'll be of great help to the Dragonblood Sect. In the future, he'll definitely become the Dragonblood Sect's sharp claws, helping us tear apart the Tianyuan Sect's steel shield."
"Clan Leader, don't worry," Ming Zhenwu said calmly. "It's only his Godhead that's shattered, not his deity.
I have a way to save him. "
"Mhm!"
Ye Mo nodded and said, "Now that Zhan Haotian has been eliminated, it'll be difficult for the Dragonblood Sect to take control of Baoyue City."
With Zhan Haotian eliminated, the Dragonblood Sect disciples' mood dropped to rock bottom. Their expressions were somewhat ugly.
They all knew that among the three fighters sent by the Tianyuan Sect, the Ancient Spider Mother was the strongest, followed by Huangfu Dao and Tie Wushan. The Ancient Spider Mother would undoubtedly be number one. As long as Huangfu Dao and Tie Wushan both placed in the top five, the control of Baoyue City would once again belong to Gu Tianyuan.
They weren't the only ones. Even Fairy Huo Yun and some of the elders had ugly expressions. Originally, with Zhan Haotian defeating Tie Wushan, the Dragonblood Sect had a high chance of taking control of Baoyue City. Now that Zhan Haotian had been defeated, the Dragonblood Sect no longer had a chance.
Now that the four rounds of competition had ended, Qi Tiandi, the Ancient Spider Mother, Fen Lingzi, and Tie Wushan had successfully entered the top nine.
The next match was between Leng Wuqing of the Heart Breaking Valley and Dugu Jian of the Sword Dao Sect. With a slight advantage, Dugu Jian became the fifth fighter to advance.
In the sixth round, an expert from the Black Forest Sect fought against Huangfu Dao of the Tianyuan Sect. Without any suspense, Huangfu Dao advanced.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Tianyuan laughed when he heard that Huangfu Dao had advanced. "Looks like the Tianyuan Sect is going to defend their control of Baoyue City. The annual tax revenue of Baoyue City is not small."
"Sigh, there's no suspense indeed. The Tianyuan Sect has once again firmly grasped control of Baoyue City."
"Although Gu Tianyuan played some tricks, if it were me, I would do the same. How could a small Zhan Haotian compare to a year's worth of control of Baoyue City?"
Everyone started discussing.
Huangfu Dao's successful advancement made it seem like there was no suspense in this competition.
There were still three matches left. One person from the Fire Spirit Sect, two people from the Sword Dao Sect, one person from the Heart Breaking Valley, one person from the Dragon Blood Sect, and one person from the Lotus Sect would fight.
Ming Zhenwu directly fought against an expert from the Lotus Sect. He defeated his opponent with an absolute advantage and successfully advanced.
Mu Cangye of the Fire Spirit Sect defeated an expert from the Sword Dao Sect and successfully advanced.
Leng Wuxin of the Heart Breaking Valley defeated an expert from the Sword Dao Sect and successfully advanced.
