Chapter 530: Returning to Wuhun City: The New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly Opens

~8 min read 1,472 words

Feihuang brought Qian Renxue back to Wuhun City.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had recovered to normal and had even over-fulfilled her Angel God Third Trial, Qian Daoliu's heart was filled with excitement, as well as gratitude toward Nan Feihuang.

He had not expected that even when Nan Feihuang was already an enemy of the Spirit Hall, he would still be willing to help Qian Renxue, and actually succeed in doing so.

It turned out that compared to mental torture, using affection as a weapon and wrapping that dark personality in gentleness was the best solution.

It seemed he owed Nan Feihuang another massive favor.

This made Qian Daoliu subconsciously look away whenever he saw Nan Feihuang.

There was no help for it; his confidence was lacking.

For anyone with a bit of life experience, if asked what debt in this world is the hardest to repay, it is undoubtedly a debt of favor; especially for someone like Qian Daoliu, whose character is considered decent, who values promises, and who bears the name of the Angel God's justice, such a burden becomes the greatest encumbrance to his actions, making him hesitant and indecisive.

Nowadays, Feihuang, relying first on his own formidable strength and second on the pile of favors Qian Daoliu owed him, had moved directly into the Spirit Hall before the New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly began.

In his spare time from cultivation, he would spend time being lovey-dovey with Qian Renxue.

This made Bibi Dong's brows twitch incessantly.

It was the first time she had encountered such a stifling situation, with a mortal enemy swaggering in front of her every day.

Eating her food and drinking her wine.

She couldn't beat him because Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were protecting him, and she couldn't even drive him away.

While providing him with the best food and drink, she still had to watch him woo her own daughter.

Looking back at the thousands of years of the Spirit Hall's history, no such enemy had ever existed.

Nan Feihuang was simply treating the enemy's headquarters as his own home.

Now, Bibi Dong only hoped that the New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly would start and end quickly, and then that this brat Nan Feihuang would get as far away as possible, so she could deal with him after she became a god.

In fact, Bibi Dong could also guess Nan Feihuang's intention for staying here; it was certainly to provide backup for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Brute Force Sect.

Nowadays, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Yuanzhen had broken through to level 96, and although the Brute Force Sect's Jia Kui was a bit of a fraud, he was indeed a Title Douluo, both qualified to compete for the positions of the Upper Three Sects.

Although Bibi Dong had the heart to stop them, it was a pity she could not find any excuse.

The open scheme Nan Feihuang was currently playing was one where he made good use of a previous announcement the Spirit Hall had made to the continent.

A year ago, the Spirit Hall had announced that the Seven Great Sects had existed for a long time. Now that the Clear Sky Sect was in seclusion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been destroyed, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's strength was greatly damaged, it was suggested that the Seven Great Sects be re-elected, with rankings based on martial force. All existing sects were given one year to prepare. One year later, all sects on the continent could sign up to participate in the Seven Great Sects Hegemony Competition to establish the New Seven Great Sects and rank them according to their strength.

Once this news spread, it immediately caused a huge uproar in the Spirit Master world. Everyone knew what the Seven Great Sects meant; if one could rank among them, it would be of huge benefit for recruiting Spirit Masters and for interests in all aspects. Who wouldn't hope to obtain this ranking? With only one year of preparation, more than 80% of the sects in the Two Great Empires took action. As for what the Spirit Hall's statement actually meant, everyone knew it clearly: it was definitely to have their own subordinate forces monopolize the Seven Great Sects, thereby maximizing their control over the Spirit Master power of the entire continent.

Once the Spirit Hall's prestige reached its peak, the Seven Great Sects would then jointly submit a petition stating that all Spirit Masters under heaven respected the Spirit Hall, requesting the Spirit Hall to better govern the Spirit Master community, and the Spirit Hall would then be able to establish a nation in a legitimate manner.

It wasn't that she hadn't considered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, but she had initially thought that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family wouldn't dare to come—weren't they afraid she would strike in the shadows? But Nan Feihuang had broken through to Title Douluo in just one year and possessed power comparable to a Limit Douluo, a point she had not anticipated.

With Nan Feihuang providing backup, what did Yu Yuanzhen have to fear? He couldn't just hand over the family's position in the Upper Three Sects to others.

The Brute Force Sect's Jia Kui suddenly becoming a Title Douluo had shocked her even more.

If these two sects were to intervene now, they would likely seize two of the most important positions among the Seven Great Sects—the Upper Three Sects.

Then, more than half of her plan would be ruined in an instant.

Unfortunately, she had no way to refuse the participation of these two sects now; what was said back then was that it was open to the entire continent.

She couldn't exactly say, "You are too strong and don't pledge allegiance to our Spirit Hall, so we won't let you participate," or this so-called New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly would instantly become a joke.

Xun Yu's open schemes were played with consummate skill; in any case, no one on the Douluo Continent had ever been able to outplay him, and almost every step was held in the palm of his hand.

In fact, the New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly had already begun in a strict sense; after all, there were at least dozens of sects, if not hundreds or thousands, on the continent.

If they all came to Wuhun City to compete, it would be too chaotic.

Therefore, before the real ranking battles arrived, there were preliminary tournaments; only the ten sects that stood out in various regions could come to Wuhun City to conduct the final of the sect competition.

"Elder Ju, how are the results of the preliminary tournament?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Reporting to the Pope, the preliminary tournament has ended. The Sacred Dragon Sect, Elephant Armored Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Sparrow Bee Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Black Tiger Sect, which have already pledged allegiance to us, have all arrived," Chrysanthemum Douluo replied. These seven sects were actually the ones originally designated as the New Seven Great Sects.

"However, people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Gulei Kingdom's Brute Force Sect seem to have arrived as well. They both possess experts at the Title Douluo level; the preliminary tournament could not stump them at all."

"I understand this," Bibi Dong said. "Don't worry about Yu Yuanzhen. His strength is too great; among those who have come to compete, it is impossible for anyone to beat him. He has almost already reserved a position in the Upper Three Sects."

"What we need to focus on is the Brute Force Sect. Although that Jia Kui has broken through to the Title Douluo realm, I noticed when we met last time that his soul power is unstable and his physique is not even stronger than a Spirit Douluo's. If they really fight, Tuoba Xi could easily defeat him in actual combat power, and even the sect masters of the Wind Sword Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect should be able to surpass him."

"When arranging the tournament format, try to have these sects face the Brute Force Sect and avoid Yu Yuanzhen. If his Blue Lightning wants a position in the Upper Three Sects, then let him have it; we will go all out to secure the other two!"

Bibi Dong had thought it out well, and the instructions she gave were very precise, but it was a pity she seemed to have overlooked one point again.

It was true that the Brute Force Sect's Jia Kui had relied on pills to break through to become a half-baked Title Douluo, but who could say that he was the only Title Douluo in the sect?
