Chapter 297 - The Other Sage Orthodoxies Collusion Against The Black Heaven Sect, Wait, Not Again?

Chapter 297: The Other Sage Orthodoxies Collusion Against The Black Heaven Sect, Wait, Not Again?

“Look, it’s Young Emperor Lan Yu!”

“She’s joining in this round. That’s great! I can finally watch my idol’s remarkable battle stance.”

“Bullsh*t, that’s my idol.”

“Besides Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and Murong Xuan, there are two other ladies. I wonder how capable they are.”

The audience discussed among themselves, excited to see the Black Heaven Sect’s performance.

In the skybox.

Qin Wushuang said to Chu Kuangren, “Sect Leader, I can understand why you’d send Jun Yi in, but not Jin Feiyan. Honestly speaking, she’s even less skilled than me.”

“Wushuang, are you dissatisfied that you weren’t included?”

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

“I wouldn’t dare to, but I was just speaking the truth.”

“Jin Feiyan will never beat you in a one-on-one fight. However, it’s more strategic to send her into this round with Jun Yi than to send you in.”

Qin Wushuang was shocked.

However, he knew that Chu Kuangren always had his reasons. Since Chu Kuangren had made it clear, then there was no reason to doubt him.

“I shall sit back and enjoy the show.” Qin Wushuang laughed and said.

In the arena.

The participants received their bracelets and entered the light circle.

Soon.

The members of each sage orthodoxies began to appear in the Blood Moon Ancient Alleys.

“This is surely a full moon.”

Jin Feiyan looked at the Blood Moon hanging in the sky. Its crippling red moonlight was giving her the creeps.

She retrieved a sword.

It was an elegantly forged sword that had a fiery red color to it.

As Jin Feiyan channeled her spiritual energies into the sword, it shook for a moment before the blade pointed towards a certain direction.

“Oh, it’s there.”

Jin Feiyan immediately rushed in that direction.

Meanwhile, the sky-prides from each orthodoxy, who were in other parts of Blood Moon Ancient, had also begun to spring into action.

The audience’s eyes were glued to the screen.

“Look, some of them are going to bump into each other. It’s the sky-prides of Thunder Falcon Tribe and Eight Wind Palace. Looks like a battle’s about to begin.”

A spectator said excitingly.

The rest were also prepared to witness a good fight.

To their surprise, the sky-prides of Thunder Falcon Tribe and Eight Wind Palace did not fight when they met each other. Instead, all they did was exchange glances before they gathered around and resumed their search around the Blood Moon Ancient Alleys.

Many in the audience were confused.

“What’s going on? Why’re they not fighting?”

“They’ve gathered together. It almost seems as if they’re working together.”

The sky-prides of Thunder Falcon Tribe and Eight Wind Palace were not the only ones.

The crowd also realized that the sky-prides from the other sage orthodoxies did not fight, and instead, they joined hands at the Ancient Alleys, searching for something.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

The audience was there to watch a fight, not some networking event!

What was going on with the friendliness between the sky-prides of Thunder Falcon Tribe, Eight Wind Palace, and Linghu clan?

“Hold on, they can’t be colluding to get rid of Black Heaven Sect first right?!”

All of the sudden, one of the audience members exclaimed in shock.

The rest of the audience immediately caught on.

Judging from the sky-prides’ behaviors, it was evident that they had hatched such a plan!

The Black Heaven Sect’s remarkable performance had utterly humiliated the other orthodoxies, so for them to collude against a common enemy was not surprising either!

Then, the spectators began to curse at those sky-prides.

“F*ck, this is such a shameless act.”

“Five orthodoxies colluding against the Black Heaven Sect. Wow, are you kidding me? This is ridiculous!”

“Looks like this is the end for the Black Heaven Sect.”

“But what if the Black Heaven Sect wins?!”

While some were furious, others were excited. All this while, the Black Heaven Sect had been dominating the competition.

This made many believe that the Black Heaven Sect would inevitably win. Now that the plot had thickened, the Black Heaven Sect’s fate was unknown. They were all dying to see if the Black Heaven Sect could create a miracle and lift themselves out of this nasty situation!

“Haha, it’s five against one, or rather, twenty-five against five!”

“So this is how the other sage orthodoxies are playing this game? What an interesting sight!” Chu Kuangren abruptly burst into a peal of laughter.

However, the rest could sense the sarcasm hidden within his remarks.

“Sect Leader Chu, the nail that stands out always gets hammered first!”

The Thunder Falcon Tribe leader laughed coldly.

“Sect Leader Chu, please don’t get mad. This is just a competition.”

“All is fair in love and war. This is just an example of a diplomatic alliance.”

“Sect Leader Chu, you can’t be mad about this right?”

The other Sect Leaders were chuckling away. It looked like they were well aware of their sky-prides’ plans.

Although it was a shameless act, the championship’s rule did not forbid collusion between orthodoxies.

The audience was curious to see how Chu Kuangren would behave if he was burning in anger. However, they were immediately greeted by surprise.

In contrast to the Sect Leaders who had just mocked Chu Kuangren, he was nothing but calm. There was not a hint of anger written on Chu Kuangren’s face.

The Sec Leaders immediately felt as if they were speaking to a wall.

“Chu Kuangren, you must have had such a wonderful upbringing to be able to maintain such composure even under such a situation. It’s truly admirable.”

The Linghu Clan Head spoke in a sarcastic tone.

In other words, he was asserting that Chu Kuangren was only playing pretend.

“Say, shall we place another bet?”

Then, Chu Kuangren suddenly said.

Those who heard Chu Kuangren were instantly stunned.

‘Wait, not again?!’

Having just lost a total of four hundred and fifty million soulstones to Chu Kuangren, they could all still feel the pain.

Now Chu Kuangren was inviting them to another bet?!

The Sect Leaders looked at one another, unsure as to whether they should agree.

By right, the Black Heaven Sect stood zero chance of winning in this situation.

However, in the previous bet, they had also thought Murong Xuan would never be able to defeat Li Ying, yet Murong Xuan somehow still won!

The Sect Leaders did not dare react hastily.

“What now? Did you lose your guts? I’ve gotten so many soulstones from all of you. Are you just going to stand there and let me have it?”

Chu Kuangren sneered.

Most of them were furious at this point.

“Fine, I’ll join your bet. I bet a hundred million soulstones that the Black Heaven Sect members will not last until the end!”

The Linghu Clan Head announced loudly.

He was fuming.

“I’d like to join too.”

“Hmph, I refuse to accept that the Black Heaven Sect can pull this off again!”

The Overlord Sage Tribe, Sky Emperor Palace, and Thunder Falcon Tribe were keen to join in too, while the rest could only look at each other as they did not dare to bet with Chu Kuangren. Even though they were sage orthodoxies, they would not be able to afford the loss again.

“Thunder Falcon Tribe, Sky Emperor Palace, Linghu clan, and Overlord Sage Tribe, it looks like it’s only four of you. Very well then.” Chu Kuangren smiled confidently.

Behind the Sect Leaders, the other Daoists stared at each other helplessly.

“This is too nerve-wracking. My heart will one day collapse from all the pressure if I hang out with the Sect Leader any longer,” said Zhuo Han.

“As you can see, gambling is an incredibly addictive activity.”

Shang Qingxue sighed too.

Then, they averted their attention to the screens.

All they saw was that several cultivators were about to bump into Jin Feiyan in the Blood Moon Ancient Alleys.

“Heh, looks like one of the Black Heaven Sect members is about to get disqualified.”

Linghu Clan Head grinned and said.

“We shall sit back and enjoy the show.” Chu Kuangren was still maintaining his usual composure.

“I’d love to see just how long you can play pretend.”

Chu Kuangren ignored the other Sect Leaders. He simply fixed his eyes on the screens where he observed that Lan Yu, Murong Xuan, and the other members were also about to be cornered by the other orthodoxy’s alliance.
