Chapter 101 Schadenfreude
This assassination attempt caused the subsequent matches to be delayed by three days, and Ye Luo's physical recovery is still not ideal.
He was originally scheduled to participate in the six-person relay race, but unfortunately, Xiao Huan and Jian Yu had to be substituted at the last minute. Yu Xian'er stayed behind to take care of his injury, and then led the group to the competition venue.
This made many sects secretly delighted, because Ye Luo's performance was too outstanding, and he had long been a thorn in the side of all the disciples.
Seeing that he had nearly lost his life this time, they couldn't help but gloat, wishing that he would be crippled and never be able to compete again.
A disciple of the Qingyang Sect said disappointedly, "I didn't expect Ye Luo to be so lucky. He survived such a fierce battle. It's such a pity."
They already knew the ins and outs of the great battle a few days ago. To be honest, if it were them, they would probably be dead by now.
They were well aware of this, which is why they were so shocked that Ye Luo was able to survive.
Li Fei: "He doesn't seem to be here today, so he must be seriously injured."
Bai Gulan: "Serves him right! Who told him to always show off? Now he's finally getting his comeuppance. It just goes to show that you can't be too flamboyant!"
After Bai Gulan finished speaking, the others who had previously had points taken from Ye Luo began to chime in, laughing, "That's right! It's truly heaven's help! Let him be arrogant again!"
"Given his current injuries, he probably won't be able to participate in the final team fight, right? That's really gratifying, hahaha!"
As Bai Ruoqian listened to everyone's words, the resentment that had been building up in her heart for so long was relieved quite a bit. Although she hadn't been able to kill him this time, seriously injuring him was still pretty good. "Hmph, let's see how arrogant you can be now!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Hearing their conversation, Shi Li had long been unable to contain himself. "Ye Luo will definitely be fine. We'll see how he deals with you then!"
The female disciple from Forget-Love Valley said with a disdainful look, "Oh, who are you trying to scare?"
Veins bulged on Shi Li's forehead. "You stinking woman, do you want to get beaten up again?"
Shen Bi's face darkened, and he roared, "If you've got the guts, then come at me!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?!"
Yu Qianling stepped forward and stopped Shi Li, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd as he coldly said, "There's no need to waste your breath arguing here. You'd better pray you don't run into me on the field."
Shen Bi: "Who are you trying to scare!"
"I, Yu Qianling, never lie." She finished speaking and gave her a cold glance. "I've remembered your face. Fellow Daoist, you're in danger!"
Her cold, murderous eyes sent a chill down Shen Bi's spine. She was well aware of this combative woman's behavior, and her gaze involuntarily darted away.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Yu Qianling sneered and left with Shi Li.
Ming Cang searched everywhere for Yu Qianling and saw her walking back with an angry expression. He exclaimed, "Tsk, where have you been? The competition is about to start!"
"Okay, I understand."
The six-person relay race will be held within the secret realm, and the race map is called: Bound Spirit Mountain.
The race route, from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, is divided into six sections: the first to the sixth relay. Flying artifacts are not allowed during the race, and the entire route is monitored by spirit eagles and judge elders.
The ranking is based on the order in which disciples from each sect arrive at the finish line with their sect tokens.
After briefly explaining the rules again, Ming Cang clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's start assigning the order of appearance now."
"First baton, Nan Muyin."
Nan Muyin: "Yes."
Mingcang: "We need to seize the initiative at the start; you need to buy them time."
Nan Muyin: "Yes, disciple understands."
"Second runner, Jian Yu."
"Huh?" Jian Yu seemed a little nervous at this moment, and stammered, "I...I'm the second one...?"
Nan Muyin patted his shoulder and chuckled, "It's alright, I'll get the token as soon as possible, don't be too nervous."
Jian Yu: "Okay..."
Ming Cang nodded and continued:
"Third batter, Yu Qianling."
"Fourth batter, Feng Yue."
"Fifth batter, Cen Feng."
"Sixth batter, Xiao Huan."
"Alright, do you have any questions about this arrangement?"
Seeing everyone shake their heads, Ming Cang noticed Xiao Huan stiffly raising his hand and asking, "Do you have a problem?"
"Sect Leader, I... I need to pee..." Xiao Huan, having taken the last baton, instantly felt the pressure increase, making him want to escape to the bathroom.
"Hold it in!"
Xiao Huan: "..."
"Thump—!"
As a melodious bell rang, the participating disciples entered the secret realm in order, along with the judges of each stage.
"Hey, keep it up, little ones!"
Mingcang was still uneasy. The final battle was highly unpredictable, and they couldn't afford to lose even a single point.
"Master."
At this moment, Ye Luo walked over wearing a white cloak, her hood covering her head and revealing her pale face. She looked even more frail.
"Xiao Luo, what brings you here?" Ming Cang said with a hint of anger, "Your body is still very weak, you need to rest now."
"Master, I'm alright."
After saying that, Ye Luo coughed a few times, feeling uncomfortable. Yu Xian'er, who was with him, helped him sit down. "Junior Brother, are you still feeling cold?"
"It's not cold."
Ming Cang frowned and instructed, "Xian'er, go find a thin blanket and get some hot tea."
"yes."
Ming Cang sat beside Ye Luo, glaring at him, unsure whether to hit him or scold him, and sighed, "You brat, you're showing off again!"
Ye Luo chuckled softly, "I have to show others that I didn't die, so that some people won't get too smug."
"You're so cunning."
