Everyone stared incredulously at the calm and collected figure on the stage, completely baffled by Ye Qiu's intentions.
"Ye Qiu, you..."
Wu Daofeng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Old Palace Master, I know what I'm doing," Ye Qiu said softly.
"Alright." Wu Daofeng took two steps forward, patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, and whispered in Ye Qiu's ear, "You can be arrogant all you want. If anything unexpected happens, I will take action to destroy Mu Dao. I don't care about any rules and regulations."
"Well..."
Ye Qiu was taken aback, then smiled knowingly.
Wu Daofeng's personality suited his taste very well.
Mu Dao, who was sitting in the audience, recovered from his shock and immediately shouted excitedly, "Okay, after the finals, I will fight you. Don't make excuses not to fight then."
"How could that be? If I don't accept the challenge, you will live, and if you live, I will be unhappy. So I will definitely accept the challenge." Ye Qiu smiled.
Wow.
Ye Qiu's words caused another uproar.
"Arrogant, far too arrogant."
"I'll be unhappy if you're alive, I like that saying, haha."
"It seems that we can enjoy more than just the final. After the final, there is an even higher-level battle waiting for us to witness. This year's Tongcheng League is truly more exciting than in previous years."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, eagerly anticipating what was about to happen.
Ye Qiu turned to Tian Gao and smiled, "Prefect, we've already wasted a lot of time. I suggest we continue with the finals. Time is precious, and we shouldn't let important matters slip by. The finals are the most urgent task."
“You’re right, then let’s continue the match,” Tian Gao said immediately.
Soon, the competition proceeded as normal, and the atmosphere was not greatly affected. Because of the atmosphere of the final, every match was very tense and extremely bloody.
The competition between the Wenwu and Wuwu districts finally came to an end around noon, and the final ten spots were decided.
Among them, three were from Tongcheng Academy: Luo Qianqiu, Ying Xing, and He Jieyu.
He Jieyu is also the only woman to enter the top ten. Her cultivation is extremely strong, and she is not inferior to Luo Qianqiu.
Of the ten, besides these three, one person from the Divine Fist Sect advanced. This person was named Zhou Kang, the grandson of Zhou Si, the sect leader of the Divine Fist Sect. He had obtained the best cultivation resources of the Divine Fist Sect, and his advancement to the top ten in Tongcheng was expected by many.
These four people are also Ye Qiu's main focus.
As for the other six people, Ye Qiu didn't pay them much attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the most brutal ultimate final is about to begin. We will fight the ranking battle all the way to the end until the rankings are determined. The intensity is unprecedented. If anyone cannot withstand it, they can choose to give up. However, once someone gives up, they will be automatically placed at the bottom of the rankings. Now, we will randomly select one person to become the first challenger, who will then challenge the other nine people in turn."
Xuan Yuanhuo, as the main host of the finals, took the stage to speak.
"Wait a minute," Tian Gao interrupted, "Lord Xuanyuan, we've reached the final ranking battle, it's time to talk about the rewards."
"Then why don't you tell me?" Xuan Yuanhu stared at Tian Gao.
Tian Gao said calmly, "As the presiding official, it is naturally your turn to speak."
"Oh." Xuan Yuanhuo turned to Wang Xiaocao: "This is a small matter, I don't need to explain it myself. Miss Wang, please explain it."
"I'm sorry, but this concerns a reward, and I think it's very important. It would be more appropriate for you to say it yourself," Wang Xiaocao said calmly.
"Hmm?" Xuan Yuanhuo frowned: "Miss Wang, it is an honor for you, a singer, to be invited to participate in such a high-level league. If you don't even read out the rewards, I'm afraid your appearance fee will be halved this time because you are not cooperating. Please be careful."
"Go ahead and lose weight if you want, I don't need the money, thank you."
Wang Xiaocao smiled.
Such an attitude surprised many people and enraged Xuan Yuanhuo: "A woman who sleeps with thousands in the entertainment industry dares to be so arrogant. She's asking for death."
Xuan Yuanhuo was furious and raised his hand to teach Wang Xiaocao a lesson.
Wang Xiaocao was also furious and retorted without fear: "Who are you calling a 'womanizer'? Your whole family are womenizers."
"You're courting death." Xuan Yuanhu raised his hand, his killing intent palpable.
But at that moment, the void suddenly twisted, and then an old man with white hair suddenly appeared.
The old man was skin and bones, but the aura he exuded was particularly terrifying.
“Lord Xuanyuan’s temper is a bit too strong. You are not suitable to continue presiding over this final competition. In fact, you are no longer suitable to continue to control the Cultivation Palace,” the old man said in a hoarse voice.
"Who are you?" Xuan Yuanhuo asked in a deep voice, his expression solemn.
"Me?" The old man said calmly, "I am just an old servant of Miss Wang. I have long forgotten my real name, but sixty years ago, someone called me Blood Butcher."
Bloodbath?
The entire venue erupted in chaos, and countless people felt their scalps tingle instantly.
Xuan Yuanhuo's face turned deathly pale as he stared in disbelief at the old man before him, who was so thin he was practically skin and bones, like a candle flickering in the wind.
"Judging from your expression, it seems you've heard of this title before?" The old man stared at Xuan Yuanhuo, his cloudy eyes seemingly concealing a murderous intent.
Xuan Yuanhu hurriedly nodded, bowed deeply, and said with utmost solemnity, "Senior Xue Tu, I think every Tongcheng resident knows your name. Sixty years ago, when the Yan King rebelled and attacked Tongcheng, all the soldiers of Tongcheng were wiped out. It was you who, with only your sword, single-handedly slaughtered the Yan King's 80,000 troops, captured and killed the Yan King, and protected all the people of the city. Such achievements are unprecedented. Please accept my bow."
"Don't try that on me, I can't accept it. Didn't you want to attack my master? You can begin now," the old man said.
