The next day, in the morning.
On the day of the championship, everyone arrived at the competition venue early. Compared to yesterday's competition, the atmosphere today was livelier but more solemn.
There were thousands of disciples of Sky Mountain in the spectator stands. Although they were very optimistic about Lu An, no one could guarantee that nothing would go wrong before the actual competition. Everyone's face was full of anticipation and worry, especially the disciples of Blue Water Peak. Lu An had long become their glory.
Regardless of whether it was the thousands of disciples of Sky Mountain in the Dacheng Realm or the people of the various sacred grounds, they were all seated in the spectator stands early. Everyone was discussing in low voices. After all, the situation of the eight countries for the next eight years would be decided after today's competition.
The people of the Xiong True God Sect had also arrived early, including Li Xiang. Everyone in the audience looked at the Xiong True God Sect from time to time and pointed at them based on their performance in the previous competition.
However, what they were more concerned about was that there was only an hour left until noon. At this moment, there was only one elder in the waiting area of Sky Mountain in the Dacheng Realm. Lu An was nowhere to be seen.
What was Lu An doing instead of coming to the competition venue at this time?
As time passed, not only were the disciples of Sky Mountain in the Dacheng Realm worried about this, but so were the people of the other sacred grounds. Logically speaking, such an important competition should have been held early. Why hadn't he shown up yet?
Just as everyone was worried, someone suddenly shouted. "He's here!"
As soon as this was said, everyone in the audience hurriedly looked over. Sure enough, Lu An appeared at the entrance of a spectator stand. However, there was no one beside him and he walked forward alone.
He walked on the spectator stand alone, crossed a quarter of the spectator stands, and sat down in the waiting area. From the beginning to the end, no matter who greeted him, he did not respond.
After sitting in the waiting area, Huang Zhizhong kept looking at Lu An. He realized that Lu An was expressionless, or rather, cold and gloomy. He did not look like he was here for the competition at all.
There was no excitement, anticipation, or imposing manner. Huang Zhizhong knew that Lu An only cared about one thing now, and that was the outcome.
The outcome of how to deal with it.
Lu An raised his head and glanced in the direction of the eight sect masters. He happened to meet Shi Zhangdao's gaze.
Shi Changdao had been watching Lu An enter the arena. When he saw Lu An's cold gaze, his heart sank. Until now, the Punishment Elder still had not returned.
At this time, there was less than half an hour before the start of the competition. Time was running out, and there was no more time to delay.
Shi Zhangdao finally frowned and waved at Gao Fei in the distance. After Gao Fei saw it, he nodded slightly.
Following which, Shi Zhangdao stood up, causing the surrounding Sect Leaders to be stunned. In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Shi Zhangdao and Gao Fei flew through the air and came directly to the waiting area.
When Huang Zhizhong saw the arrival of the two Sect Masters, he quickly stood up and bowed. The two Sect Heads did not speak to Huang Zhizhong, but stood in front of Lu An.
"The Punishment Elder hasn't returned." Shi Changdao said in a deep voice, "But I can promise you that no matter what, I can guarantee their lives."
When Lu An heard that, he stood up and looked at the two Sect Heads. He said word by word clearly, "I don't want their lives to be in danger, but to retreat safely. If possible, let them go immediately and bring the two of them to me. If I don't get a promise and see the two of them, I will not enter the arena. "
"You!" Shi Zhangdao's chest tightened when he heard that. As the Sect Leader of Daicheng Sky Mountain, how could he not be angry when he was threatened by a disciple?
When Gao Fei saw that, he quickly mediated the situation and said to Lu An, "Lu An, don't be greedy. It's already very difficult for the Sect Leader to make such a decision. You don't seem to have any problems, but this will affect whether Daicheng Sky Mountain will follow the rules in the future. The Sect Leader has already made an exception by going this far! "
However, Lu An was completely indifferent when he heard that. He only said calmly, "My request will not change. Get them to appear in front of me immediately. Otherwise, I will not enter the arena. "
As soon as he said that, Shi Zhangdao's face darkened.
"Lu An!" Gao Fei's expression was a little ugly as he chided, "Don't be so willful! No matter what, you are a disciple of Daicheng Sky Mountain. Don't you understand that you can't disobey your Master's orders? "
When Lu An heard that, he glanced at Gao Fei. His gaze became deep as he said in a low voice, "I only have one Master to be where I am today. It's a pity that he is not from Daicheng Sky Mountain."
"…"
The atmosphere became more and more oppressive. Both sides were in a stalemate. Huang Zhizhong broke out in cold sweat when he saw that. However, at this moment, he could not speak at all. Time flew by quickly. There were only 15 minutes left.
At this moment, the audience began to cheer like waves, raising the atmosphere before the start of the competition. If Lu An did not enter the arena at this time, it would be a heavy blow to Daicheng Sky Mountain.
"Alright!" Shi Zhangdao suddenly shouted. He turned to Gao Fei and said, "Bring Wei Tao and Han Ya here!"
Gao Fei was shocked when he heard that. He did not expect the Sect Leader to compromise. This was not his character. Regardless, there was finally a turn for the better. Gao Fei nodded immediately and rushed to the dungeon in the Inner Peak.
Seeing Gao Fei's figure disappear, Lu An turned to look at Shi Zhangdao. Shi Zhangdao's gaze was extremely gloomy, while Lu An's gaze was as calm as ever.
"A word spoken cannot be taken back." Lu An said calmly, "Even a child like me knows that a gentleman's words are not to be taken lightly. I hope the Sect Leader won't go back on his words."
"Of course." Shi Zhangdao said in a low voice, "I don't need to lie to a young man like you."
With Gao Fei personally picking them up, he brought Wei Tao and Han Ya back in less than half an hour. When Lu An saw that both of them were in good spirits, he was relieved.
"I'll enter the arena." Lu An looked at Shi Zhangdao and Gao Fei and said calmly, "Don't worry, Sect Leaders. I'll definitely win the championship."
Hearing Lu An's promise, the two's expression eased a little. Then, the two turned and left. Shi Zhangdao quickly returned to the Sect Leader's seat. The other Sect Leaders asked him what he was doing, but Shi Zhangdao did not say anything.
On the other side, Gao Fei went to prepare for the start of the competition. In the waiting area, after the two Sect Leaders left, Han Ya and Wei Tao immediately came to Lu An's side.
"Lu An!" Han Ya quickly ran to Lu An's side and asked, "You and the Sect Leaders … are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lu An shook his head slightly, then looked at Han Ya and said, "It seems that they didn't make things difficult for you in the dungeon."
"En." Han Ya immediately nodded and said, "We're all fine. How is it, there's no problem with this competition, right?"
"Senior sister has seen my true strength." Lu An smiled and said softly. "No problem."
Han Ya looked at Lu An's calm expression and felt a little relieved. Indeed, she had seen Lu An's true strength. When he was a Level 1 Heavenly Master, he could defeat Wang Xue, who was at the peak of Level 2, and even seriously injure a Level 3 Heavenly Master. Now that Lu An was at the peak of Level 2, he should have no problem fighting opponents of the same level.
"No matter what, you have to be more careful." Wei Tao also said, "The Xiong True God Sect has always been an open and aboveboard sect, so it's inevitable that they will use some insidious means."
Lu An nodded and said, "I'll be careful."
Finally, just as the three of them were talking, the noon bell rang. Immediately, the audience erupted into unprecedented cheers and shouts! The loud sound seemed to shake the entire mountain range.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Gao Fei once again floated from the air to the middle of the field. After looking around, he could not restrain his excitement and said loudly, "Today is the last day of the Eight Nations Competition. Today, we will have the final winner and become the champion of the Eight Nations Competition! "
"Will it be the Xiong True God Sect … or the Dacheng Sky Mountain?" Gao Fei looked around and asked loudly.
"Dacheng Sky Mountain! Dacheng Sky Mountain! "
"Dacheng Sky Mountain! Dacheng Sky Mountain! "
As the Dacheng Sky Mountain had the home field advantage, the audience cheered loudly. Everyone was united and took the lead in terms of momentum.
In the area of the Xiong True God Sect, Zhang Ligong sneered as he looked at the cheers of the audience and said, "I'll make sure these people can't shout anymore!"
After the audience cheered a few times, Gao Fei's voice rang out again. He announced loudly, "Now, let's welcome Lu An from the Dacheng Sky Mountain and Li Xiang from the Xiong True God Sect!"
Immediately, the audience cheered and shouted "Lu An!" in unison. Amidst the cheers of the audience, Lu An and Li Xiang jumped down and strode forward in the field. Finally, they stood in the middle of the field.
Gao Fei glanced at the two of them. Hearing the cheers of the audience, he no longer procrastinated and announced loudly, "Begin!"
