Chapter 66: The Verdict of the Demon Saint Mansion

The other few Great Demons also stopped their mocking one after another, looking at each other in dismay.

Just at this moment, the Great Demon responsible for the competition had already walked quickly to their front.

He signaled for the few Great Demons to gather together, then lowered his voice, "When I tested just now, I indeed discovered the energy of Xiong Batian on the bear demon, and there was quite a lot of it! It can basically be concluded that Xiong Batian really cheated!"

Once these words were out, the crowd of Great Demons all widened their eyes, instantly shocked to the point of being unable to speak.

After a moment of silence, these Great Demons could no longer hold it in.

"What?! Xiong Batian actually dared to cheat?! Is he tired of living?! Does he not know the consequences of cheating?!"

"My heavens! This is too bold! The Bear Clan actually dares to cheat in broad daylight! Are they not afraid of being ridiculed by other demon clans?!"

"Xiong Batian doing this must mean he has nothing to fear. Either he has some trump card, or... he is certain we dare not make a scene!"

"Regardless of what trump card he has, we cannot condone this! Cheating is cheating; this is a blatant provocation against the competition rules! We must handle this seriously!"

"Right! We must punish him severely! We cannot let the Bear Clan think we are easy to bully!"

"But... the Bear Clan is powerful; do we really want to tear our faces off with them? What if they retaliate?"

"What is there to fear! With so many of us Great Demons joining forces, are we really afraid of a single Bear Clan?!"

Besides, if we do not punish them severely this time, other demon clans will follow suit in the future; what fairness would there be to speak of in the competition?!"

The few Great Demons argued back and forth, unable to reach a consensus.

The Great Demon responsible for the competition rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, stop arguing! This matter is no small thing; we must deliberate carefully! How about this, let us go find the Elder to discuss it first and see what he says."

The crowd of Great Demons nodded, agreeing to this proposal.

Thus, their group hurriedly left the Arena and walked toward the place where the Elder of the demon clan was located.

There were guards from the Demon Saint Mansion maintaining order at the scene.

After the few Great Demons left, the clamor around the Arena began again.

Xiong Batian leaned sideways against a pillar of the Arena, a sneer of disdain hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He was as clear as a mirror in his heart; those old fellows must have detected the energy of Xiong Batian on him.

However, he was not panicked at all.

A few lackeys of the Bear Clan gathered by Xiong Batian's side, their faces deathly pale.

"Boss, they... they wouldn't really spill the beans about this, would they?"

A thin, tall bear demon asked while trembling.

"Yeah Boss, if this is really announced, our Bear Clan will lose all face! How will we mix in the Yao Jie in the future!"

It was not just a matter of losing face, but also concerned whether their Bear Clan could participate in the competition in the future.

One must know, they had committed a major taboo of the competition rules!

Once punished, it would mean that all bear demons of the Bear Clan would be ineligible to participate in the competition in the future.

Xiong Batian glanced at them sideways, his eyes full of contempt.

"Look at how little backbone you have! A bunch of cowards! If they really dared to announce it, they would be beating drums and announcing it to the world right now; would they need to sneak off to discuss it with the Elder?"

He paused, then continued, "They are going to find the Elder now because they want to see how to suppress this matter."

"Rest assured, those old fox-spirits at the Demon Saint Mansion are very shrewd; they won't tear their faces off with our Bear Clan for the sake of a little fledgling bird that hasn't even grown its feathers."

Xiong Batian's words were like a reassurance pill, allowing the few bear demons to relax slightly.

However, the matter had not yet settled, and they were still feeling uneasy in their hearts.

"Boss, then... then what if the Elder insists on enforcing the law impartially?" The thin, tall bear demon was still worried and asked cautiously.

Xiong Batian gave a cold snort, "Enforcing the law impartially? Hmph, in the Yao Jie, strength is the axiom!"

"Our Bear Clan has vast influence; the Elder has to weigh that too! Besides, even if they really want to pursue it, I have plenty of ways to deal with it!"

Although Xiong Batian spoke tough, he also knew that this matter was somewhat tricky.

Being caught cheating was a violation of the rules, and if not handled well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He secretly calculated in his heart how he should respond if the Elder really wanted to pursue it later.

Seeing Xiong Batian silent, the few bear demons dared not ask more and could only worry anxiously on the side.

They would steal glances at Zhang Yi from time to time, their eyes filled with resentment.

If it weren't for this kid meddling, they wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.

"What are you all looking at me for? Not convinced?"

Zhang Yi sensed their gazes and glared back fearlessly.

"You little mongrel bird! If it weren't for you, how would our Boss..."

The thin, tall bear demon cursed through gritted teeth.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Xiong Batian.

"Shut up!"

The thin, tall bear demon shuddered in fear and dared not make another sound.

Xiong Batian glared fiercely at Zhang Yi, then turned to the other few bear demons and said, "Let's go, we'll go see too, how the Elder intends to handle this matter!"

After speaking, he led the few bear demons and left the Arena aggressively, walking in the direction of the Elder.

Zhang Yi watched their departing backs; he wanted to see how Xiong Batian and the Demon Saint Mansion would handle this matter.

Before long.

The people of the Bear Clan and the people of the Demon Saint Mansion all returned.

Xiong Batian walked back swaggeringly and sat back down in his original position.

This guy crossed his legs, looking as if victory was already in his grasp.

The few Bear Clan lackeys beside him also followed behind him with their noses in the air.

Zhang Yi sensed something was wrong.

Could it be that these fellows had already secretly conspired with the people from the Demon Saint Mansion?

Had the people from the Demon Saint Mansion chosen to bow their heads?

Were they going to condone this cheating fellow?

Zhang Yi straightened his body.

He stared with burning eyes at the Great Demon walking over from the side of the long table.

He waited for the final result.

However, just at this moment, Zhang Yi's gaze inadvertently swept across a corner of the Arena.

He was instantly stunned.

He saw his dear Empress Sister.

She was actually... leaning against a pillar of the Arena, fast asleep!

She was sleeping quite soundly, her breathing even.

The corners of her mouth were even slightly upturned.

It was as if the tense environment around her had nothing to do with her.

The scene was just too comical...

The corners of Zhang Yi's eyes twitched, and ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped through his heart.

In this kind of situation... at this kind of time... she could still fall asleep?

How big must her heart be!

He simply could not believe his own eyes.

How could she sleep so peaceably?

Although Zhang Yi really wanted to rush over and shake her awake.

But he thought better of it.

This Nudi simply had no heart at all.

His Jubiao mother was still the best.

At this moment, she must be very worried about him, right? If the Demon Saint Mansion announced that there was no cheating, then her son would be driven out of the Arena site and disqualified from the competition.

Thinking this, Zhang Yi turned his head to look at Jubiao mother.

Good grief! Jubiao mother was actually sitting with Xiao Pu eating, and eating so deliciously...

Zhang Yi was completely numb...
