Chapter 2092: Courageously Seizing the Championship

These wandering cultivators and people from some small clans all came after receiving invitations from the Immortal Sword Sect.

The original intention was merely to display the sect's strength and absorb fresh blood.

After all, although these small clans and wandering cultivators may not be particularly strong themselves, there are still many talented juniors among them.

These people are the true targets of the Immortal Sword Sect and the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect.

However, with the rise of the Dao One Immortal Sect as a dark horse, these small clans and wandering cultivators unconsciously turned their gaze toward the Dao One Immortal Sect.

After all, setting aside the disgraceful deeds of the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, their strength is superb, solid and genuine.

Now among the top ten, nine are disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect; the last spot, without surprise, also belongs to the Dao Yi Shengdi.

This inevitably leads people to indulge in wild imaginings.

Originally, with their status, those top sects of the Immortal Realm were out of reach, leaving limited options.

If there is a better choice, naturally one would choose the better one.

Many people have set their sights on the Dao One Immortal Sect, but Ye Zhangqing and Wu Shou are temporarily unaware of this.

As today's final match ended, as expected, a disciple from another sect also lost.

Thus, tomorrow's top-ten battle has completely become an internal conflict of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Those who made it into the top ten are all disciples of the Dao Yi Shengdi; the championship of this Four Sects Sword Discussion has already been decided in advance.

Wu Shou and Ye Zhangqing showed no excited expression, and even their inner selves were very calm.

However, just as it ended, a group of people came forward voluntarily to congratulate, surrounding the two.

Faced with everyone's congratulations, Ye Zhangqing was weary of dealing with it; he originally disliked such occasions, and being surrounded by so many people made him very uncomfortable.

He only felt congratulatory sounds coming from all directions, feeling somewhat vexed; Ye Zhangqing had a sudden inspiration and spoke.

"Thank you all, but if you have matters, you can go find my sect's Grand Elder; I don't really handle affairs."

Such enthusiasm surely means they have an agenda; Ye Zhangqing doesn't care what they want, but just saying that seeking him is useless, as he holds no position within the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Indeed, as soon as he said that, the crowd surrounding Ye Zhangqing quickly dispersed, turning instead toward Wu Shou.

They began a warm conversation with Wu Shou.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing seized the opportunity to slip away, intending to return to his residence first.

With this time, he would be more comfortable going back to lie on the recliner.

But just as he left the arena square and turned a corner, a beautiful woman appeared before him.

The woman was dressed splendidly, with a gentle and graceful demeanor; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, she bowed and said.

"I have paid my respects to Elder Ye."

"You are................. "

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing stopped his steps, doubtful, saying, "I'm walking on a deserted little path; how could it be blocked?"

Moreover, one can tell at a glance that this woman is here especially waiting for him, yet the two don't know each other at all.

Earlier, I had merely seen the woman from afar; she was also invited by the three sects of the Immortal Sword Sect to watch the match, but I had no contact with her whatsoever.

What does it mean for her to be here especially waiting for me?

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's suspicion, the woman smiled gently and said.

"Elder Ye need not worry; I have no ulterior motive here, I simply wish to make your acquaintance."

"Frankly speaking, if you wish to have any dealings with my Dao One Immortal Sect, you can go find the Grand Elder; I am a marginal figure in the sect and have little say."

Ye Zhangqing still used his old effective tactic: seeking him is useless; for matters, seek Wu Shou.

However, this woman obviously does not buy that; hearing his words, her smile undiminished, she spoke slowly.

"Elder Ye is being modest; in the Dao One Immortal Sect, your words are likely far more useful than those of Elder Wu."

"Huh???"

"Has this woman figured it out?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing froze for a moment, but in this situation he certainly could not admit it.

He immediately shook his head and said.

"I am indeed an idle post in the sect, incomparable to the Grand Elder."

However, no matter what Ye Zhangqing says, this beautiful woman simply does not believe him.

Moreover, her purpose in seeking Ye Zhangqing is simple: she hopes to have her son become a disciple and cultivate in the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Regarding this, Ye Zhangqing wondered, "You could join the sect by finding Wu Shou; as long as there's no problem with talent, why bother me?"

As for the woman's reply, she said her son's talent is unquestionable, enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those heavenly pride heirs of the Immortal Realm.

He possesses an immortal body.

With such talent, Ye Zhangqing found it even more puzzling; this is simply a normal participation in the examination, and there's no problem at all.

"Elder Ye, rest assured, my son's talent is absolutely fine; it's just that he suffered some trauma in childhood, leaving him somewhat................. mentally."

After bidding farewell to the beautiful woman, Ye Zhangqing continued pondering these words on his way back.

Helplessly, he agreed; mainly because refusing would leave him no recourse, as that beautiful woman was about to employ a beauty trap.

In short, her son is a bit mad; exactly how mad, Ye Zhangqing also doesn't know.

In the end, Ye Zhangqing only said to let the beautiful woman's son take the examination; as for the outcome, it still needs to be decided by Sect Master Qi Xiong.

The beautiful woman also did not continue to pester; she clearly understood the priorities.

Returning to the sect that evening, Ye Zhangqing prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone; the ten disciples ate to their heart's content.

The next day, also the final day of the Four Sects Sword Discussion, this day should have been the most intense.

After all, it is the top-ten grand battle, deciding the ultimate championship.

But this time it turned out very calm, because the participants in the top-ten battle are all disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Moreover, these bastards, one look tells they are fixing the match.

Moreover, they're the kind who don't even bother to act.

Seeing the Immortal Sword Sect and the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect, they're twitching at the corners of their mouths—you Dao One Immortal Sect are going too far.

Even Wu Shou and Ye Zhangqing couldn't stand to watch.

As for the reason, Wu Shou definitely doesn't know, but Ye Zhangqing knows a little.

Yesterday after dinner, the ten disciples gathered together, saying they were auctioning off the winning quota.

Saying we're fellow disciples, if we really fought it would hurt harmony—better to compete with money.

Whoever can meet the price, no one objects, and the winning quota goes to that person.

The higher the rank, the higher the price naturally; of course, the rewards obtained from Ye Zhangqing also increase accordingly.

All ten agreed, and bidding soon began.

I hadn't thought much of it, but I didn't expect these guys to be so outrageous.

You've already fixed the rankings in private, but at least put on a show on the surface.

Who surrenders the moment they step on stage, without even throwing a punch.

In the first three matches, the Dao One Immortal Sect disciples all surrendered the moment they stepped on stage, without hesitation.

It's utterly outrageous, leaving everyone present stunned.

This is just too much, treating us like idiots? Even though the top ten are your Dao One Immortal Sect disciples, you can't bully people like that.
