Chapter 459: Cheating (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That pill formula is far more valuable than a spiritual weapon! Thought the Honorable Sir Tianqi . Nowadays, pill formulas have all vanished from the face of the mainland but the old man from the Immortal Realm seemed to have had a stroke of luck to discover pill formulas at an archaeological site. And I have long coveted that pill formula!
As if he could almost see that pill formula in the palm of his hand, the Honorable Sir Tianqi nearly laughed out loud but he held it back as he was afraid that Bai Xiangtian, who was right next to him, would notice.
...
In the plaza, Zuo Shangchen lightly curled his lips and shot a look at the disciples of the Dark Yin Palace who were still in the arena. Then, he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and smiled with magnificence, "Xiao Yun'er, the Dark Yin Palace will not quibble with you over the first place in this elimination round. Whatever comes next in this competition, we won't go easy on you."
Whoosh!
In that instant, the crowd began to scuttle away.
Even though the Dark Yin Palace disciples had forfeited the elimination round and accepted the second place, based on the Dongfang Family's current level of strength, not only were they not eliminated from the Divine Trials but they've even defeated the Medicine Order. This has shocked the entire crowd.
"Cough, cough," Seeing that the competition was over, the City Governor glanced at the old men next to him before letting out a dry cough and said, "The elimination round is over. We will arrange the ranks based on the results of the elimination round. Please get some rest now, everyone. Let us all gather at the plaza again tomorrow."
After the City Governor spoke, the crowd began to disperse. The participants in the arena also returned to their respective teams.
Amidst the crowd, Rongyue made her way to the Dongfang Family's domain. Her eyes swept past Gu Ruoyun and landed on Wei Yiyi's charming face.
"Senior aunt Yiyi, long time no see. Master and senior uncle have missed you. Why don't you visit them?"
Wei Yiyi laughed charmingly but her smile did not reach her eyes, "Far more than their thoughts of me, I miss them dearly as well. Once the Trials are over, you can go back and report to that sl*t and b*stard that I, Wei Yiyi, will soon pay them a visit to reminisce about the good old days!"
A cold light flashed across Rongyue's eyes but her arrogant and cold face maintained its smile, "Alright. Then we'll await your arrival, senior aunt Yiyi, in the Medicine Order. I will take my leave now. One more thing..."
As she spoke, she paused, then stared down at her in an arrogant manner.
"Even though you are my senior aunt, I won't go easy on you in the Trials!"
Then, she said nothing more as she led the Medicine Order out of the area.
From the start of the altercation to the end, Rongyue did not even look at Qianbei Ye, it was as if she did not see him at all.
...
The second round of the competition was held the following day and was filled with more excitement than the elimination round. Many powerful organizations have gathered and some were still discussing Wei Yiyi's heroic feat as a one-woman show against a group of enemies.
However, the Dongfang Family's performance yesterday was particularly shocking. It still does not mean that the crowd fully believed in their strength yet.
As long as they did not even have one disciple with a breakthrough to the rank of a Martial Emperor, they could not possibly achieve victory in the Trials!
"Cough, cough."
Under the gaze of the crowd, the governor of Cloud City brushed his robes and took his seat. He let out a dry cough and spoke, "Everyone, quiet please."
It was as if his voice held power, the crowd became absolutely silent in an instant.
"Based on yesterday's elimination round, the official Trials will begin today. We will follow the sequence of the ranks obtained during yesterday's elimination round! Furthermore, I want to declare this beforehand: In the subsequent competitions, every winning team shall accumulate 10 points while every losing team will only receive 5 points. The team with the most accumulated points will be the final victors."
