If the opposing team also arranges their players in order of strength from weakest to strongest, wouldn't that mean there are even stronger experts in their camp who haven't yet participated?

Upon hearing this, Yama's face turned extremely ugly.

"Xie Bi'an." Yama looked at the other of the Black and White Impermanence and asked, "Are you confident you can win the next battle?"

Xie Bi'an hesitated for a moment before replying, "Before Fan Wujiu's defeat, I can confidently say that I, Xie Bi'an, will definitely triumph over the countless ants of the mortal realm!"

"And now?"

"Now..." Xie Bi'an looked at Qian Muyu on the city wall of the Human Emperor's Palace and whispered to Yama, "My lord, I now suspect... that the other side's sect has a true immortal assisting them!"

Upon hearing Xie Bi'an's words, Yama also fell into deep thought.

Yes, the opponent's strength has improved too quickly; it's impossible not to think in that direction.

He couldn't see through Qian Muyu and Qian Weiwei's strength. At first, he thought they were just ordinary ninth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivators who had used some kind of secret treasure to conceal their cultivation. Now, after Xie Bi'an reminded him, he thought about it carefully... Could it be that they had already stepped into the half-step True Immortal realm?

"If the Human Emperor's Palace has truly received the assistance of a True Immortal, then our attempt to cause them trouble has likely backfired spectacularly..." Yama said with a somewhat grim expression.

"My lord, please don't be hasty in making a judgment now," Xie Bi'an said. "Let me go down and test them again. If the people they send this time are still powerful, then we can be sure that they really have a true immortal helping them."

Yama nodded. "Alright, then go ahead. Be careful in this battle."

"Yes, ma'am."

After saying this, Xie Bi'an jumped off the city wall.

Ye Yixuan watched the show from the sidelines, arms crossed, as the underworld's representatives were defeated one after another, a playful expression on her face.

"What a bunch of ignorant underground people! They dared to challenge the current Emperor's Palace without even gathering any intelligence. With such arrogance, it's no wonder they lost."

On the Human Emperor's Palace side, Su Nian saw Bai Wuchang land and Hei Wuchang return to his sect, then turned her gaze to the crowd behind her.

Who will play in the fifth match?

No one agreed to fight.

Meng Zizhen, the master of the Sun God Temple, was eager to try, but when he thought about how the people the other side sent were all incredibly powerful, and how he himself might not even be able to defeat Hong Jiuquan, he gave up the idea.

“Bai Wuchang is also a formidable character. Although we are both at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, his methods are exceptionally powerful. If we want to take him down, we need to send out equally formidable individuals,” Li Moli said from the side.

"Then who should we send?" Su Nian asked.

Li Moli glanced at Ye Yixuan in the enemy camp and pouted, "Isn't the most suitable candidate right there?"

Su Nian followed Li Moli's gaze and saw Ye Yixuan hidden in the Underworld camp. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Good grief, when did that guy run off to the enemy camp?

How perceptive was Ye Yixuan? Upon noticing Su Nian's gaze, he immediately snapped back to reality, scratched his head, gave an innocent, self-deprecating laugh, and spread his hands.

That expression seemed to say: I'm innocent, I was just passing by, and I was dragged into this mess.

Facing Ye Yixuan, Su Nian didn't give her a friendly look, and simply said, "Will you step down yourself, or should I go and invite you down?"

Knowing that she could no longer stand idly by, Ye Yixuan obediently jumped off the city wall under the astonished gaze of the King of Hell.

Ye Yixuan's life force is still in Su Nian's hands. Even without the suppression of cultivation level, Su Nian could easily control Ye Yixuan.

When he saw that Ye Yixuan was actually the candidate for the fifth match, how could the King of Hell not realize that he had been tricked?

His already dark face became even darker, and as he looked at Ye Yixuan who had fallen to the ground, his face seemed to change like a mask in a theatrical performance.

"This woman... is she actually a master from the Human Emperor's Palace? Damn it... I've been fooled by her!"

When Ye Yixuan landed, Xie Bi'an was slightly surprised.

However, he quickly regained his senses and cupped his hands, saying, "Underworld, White Impermanence, Xie Bi'an."

Ye Yixuan did not answer, but instead assumed a fighting stance.

Seeing this, Xie Bi'an smiled and asked, "Won't you introduce yourself before the battle?"

"No need," Ye Yixuan said expressionlessly. "Masters never easily reveal their names."

Xie Bi'an's expression was strange.

In the past, if a person from the mortal world claimed to be a master in front of him, he would definitely think that person was courting death.

However, after watching the previous battles, Xie Bi'an changed his mind.

Is she really that confident in having her figured out?

With that thought in mind, Xie Bi'an took out his signature weapon.

Mourning stick.

He lacked Fan Wujiu's arrogance and decided to go all out from the start.

"Well then, esteemed expert," Xie Bi'an said, pushing off with his feet and instantly launching himself into the air, "Excuse me!"

After saying that, he rushed straight to Ye Yixuan.

"Soul-stirring!"

Snap!

Ye Yixuan slapped Xie Bi'an across the face as he moved rapidly toward her.

The slap was incredibly fast; by the time everyone reacted, Xie Bi'an had already been sent flying by the blow.

Apart from Su Nian, no one else saw the slap clearly.

Before anyone could even react, Xie Bi'an was knocked unconscious by the slap.

utter silence...

Xie Bi'an was not as arrogant as Fan Wujiu. He used his signature move right away, but was instantly defeated by Ye Yixuan with a single slap.
