"This is already the third fight that Senior-Uncle Lu Wuxiu has had!" The Yanjian Sect disciples watching the fight nearby all had anxious expressions on their faces. "If this continues, he won't be able to hold on."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the rules were set before the game." The other person next to him also had a worried look on his face.
"The people from Tianji Pavilion are really going too far. They actually resorted to underhanded tactics."
So, Yan Baibai understood the reason of the matter from the conversation between the two disciples.
Someone from the Tianji Pavilion suddenly visited the Yanjian Sect, bringing with them more than a dozen of their own disciples. During their conversations with the Tianji Pavilion, they kept bringing up the topic of the "auspicious clouds" that had accidentally appeared in the Yanjian Sect a year prior. Naturally, the Yanjian Sect elders wouldn't readily reveal what had happened that day, so they could only gloss over it.
Seeing they couldn't get the information they wanted, the Tianji Pavilion explained their purpose for coming: to obtain all the information about "Xiangyun" and bring some treasures in exchange. Finally, under the deliberate guidance of the Tianji Pavilion, a duel between the disciples of the two sects began.
The meaning is very simple. If Yanjian Sect wins, Tianji Pavilion will hand over all the treasures it brings. As for the news about Xiangyun, Yanjian Sect can selectively inform them. If the disciples of Tianji Pavilion win, Tianjian Sect will hand over Xiangyun's assets to Tianji Pavilion, and can get half of the reward.
The Tianji Pavilion was so fussy about it, and it was obvious that life was very difficult. After all, in order to heal the sect's increasingly weakened spiritual veins, the Tianji Pavilion had spent a lot of manpower and resources for hundreds of years.
If the sword cultivators of Yanjian Sect are compared to warriors, then the cultivators of Tianji Pavilion are military strategists.
Logically, the Yanjian Sect feared everything except fighting. However, competitions between disciples of two sects always required established rules beforehand. Thus, thanks to the Tianji Pavilion's manipulations, the Yanjian Sect, which had previously enjoyed an absolute advantage, was ultimately left with only Lu Wuxiu holding on.
To put it simply, the method used by the other party was a bit like the rules in "Tian Ji's Horse Racing". Because it did not violate the pre-set rules, Yanjian Sect could only suffer this loss in the end.
In one arena, the two major sects send out one person at a time. The one who leaves the barrier loses. Those who remain within the barrier must remain in the arena and accept the person sent by the other side.
The Jindan stage is divided into nine realms. No matter how hard the people of Ren Yanjian Sect tried, they would never have thought that the people of Tianji Pavilion would send out ten people whose cultivation was about to break through the ninth Jindan realm to fight.
The timing of the Tianji Pavilion's arrival was very clever, as most of the Yanjian Sect's Jindan disciples were dispatched to carry out sect missions. Most of these missions were located in secret realms, and were far from the sect, so they wouldn't be able to return in a short while...
The Tianji Pavilion came prepared, and the Yanjian Sect was defeated step by step.
