"He used our spiritual energy to improve his cultivation level, and then killed our people. I cannot accept this!"
Wei Xia shook his head.
"Fourth brother, now is not the time for a fight of pride. It is not against the rules to improve one's realm during the martial arts competition, and it is also his own ability to consume the spiritual energy in the cave."
"As for his intention to kill Lin Jinglong..."
"That's also part of the martial arts competition!"
Zhong Lixiu could no longer contain herself.

"The reason for orchestrating this plan is to strike at the core members of the Hidden World Alliance, deplete their martial arts foundation, and prevent them from launching an offensive against the Elders' Council due to the fall of the Grand Elder!"
"In reality, we are in a passive position. Everything we are doing is out of necessity. It's just a gamble!"
