"Seriously, what's going on with this secret realm? I've been watching for ages and haven't seen the person I'm looking for. I thought this competition hosted by Dragon Roar Valley would finally satisfy me, but apart from the first match being a little better, they started to slack off on the second day, didn't they? They tricked me into coming here only to kill me!" In the audience, someone was furious when they still hadn't seen any of the core figures from the sects.
They came here to watch a few highly skilled individuals fight and compete, not to watch some lowly thugs playing around and having fun.
Immediately, everyone started agreeing with him, "That's right! I didn't dare say anything earlier because I was worried I was mistaken, but now it seems it's your organizers' fault! What are you doing here instead of coming out and solving the problem?!"
"Refund! I spent a hundred high-grade spirit stones and bet a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and this is what you show me?! Aren't you just making a fool of me? Hiding the most powerful people from the game, you'll just decide who wins in the end!"
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to have their meridians opened, and they all clamored for the organizers to refund their spirit stones.
Some of them didn't understand and just wanted to get their spirit stones back. Judging from the current situation, the sect they had bet on was very likely not to get first place. By getting involved, they could get back the spirit stones they were going to lose. Why not?
The commotion outside gradually grew louder, and everyone realized something was wrong. The audience began to stir. Seeing this, the Second Elder of Dragon Roar Valley stepped forward to stabilize the situation, saying, "Everyone, please calm down and sit down. What kind of behavior is this?"
The Second Elder showed no remorse whatsoever; in fact, his tone was serious and earnest as he reprimanded the crowd.
Some people were intimidated by his posture and flinched, feeling guilty. But others were completely unfazed, pointing their fingers at the Second Elder and yelling, "Who do you think you are, blocking my way! And you're yelling at me! You're asking for trouble!"
The speaker was a rogue cultivator who was lawless and no one could stop him from speaking. He said these words with a provocative tone.
The elder in front of him merely chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery, and said, "If you won't listen to my kind advice now, then don't beg for mercy later."
His words were ambiguous, and no one understood what he meant. They looked at each other, wondering what he meant.
After saying this, the Second Elder took a step back. In a moment, a protective shield appeared around them, encircling them all. The rogue cultivator was the first to notice something was wrong. He took two steps forward, wanting to get out, but was blocked. "What does Dragon Roar Valley mean by this! Are you planning to trap us here? Do you think a mere protective shield can hold so many of us?"
The man sneered, finding the Second Elder in front of him utterly ridiculous. However, the Second Elder remained silent, always greeting him with a smile, as if nothing could influence his decisions.
What no one knew was that, in the instant before the spiritual energy barrier fell, a dark figure darted out, and the movement was so quick that no one noticed the anomaly.
The man's words did not attract the attention of the person opposite him, who then left directly.
The audience members couldn't sit still any longer and stood up one after another, wanting to cause trouble. The people guarding the outside were all from Dragon Roar Valley. According to the past, apart from the organizers bringing more of their own people to the scene, other sects would never do this, as it would be too costly and not very useful.
However, they overlooked one situation: if there is a traitor or spy among the group, everyone will be in a passive position.
After being refused entry, Sect Leader Yan was restless and his eyes darted around, trying to see something different. However, when he looked behind him, he saw a scene of chaos and rioting.
They were seated in a box, but there were windows all around, so they could see the people sitting in the audience from behind.
"What on earth is going on outside!? Long Di, what are you doing!?" The sect leader of Dragon Roar Valley is named Long Di.
The loud shout from Sect Leader Yan successfully drew the attention of everyone else in the private room, but in just one glance, the shock and worry in their eyes were impossible to conceal.
"What exactly is going on, Long Di? What do you want to do?" Huangfu, the sect leader of Qianlibao, stood up, pointed at the crowd outside, his eyes filled with shock and anger.
In fact, everyone knew something was wrong just now, but they only thought that Long Di had tampered with the competition. They didn't expect that his purpose was not only that, but that he had also attacked the people outside.
"Long Di, if you don't explain yourself clearly now, do you think you can walk out of this door alive?" Sect Master Yan's aura was high. The evidence was all laid out in the open, and it was only natural that they had fallen out now!
Sect Leader Huangfu stood beside Sect Leader Yan and asked, "Do you think everyone in this room is a pushover? So many people can't take you down?"
An elder beside Sect Master Yan couldn't help but speak up, letting out a cold laugh, his face filled with chilling malice.
Long Di clicked his tongue twice, "Look at you guys, you're really incredibly united. What can I say? I've done all this for everyone! There's not a single bit of personal feeling involved."
Long Di spread his hands, looking completely innocent. The others glared at him, clearly not believing his lies. "Do you even believe what you're saying? Before you lie, you should at least make sure you believe what you're saying yourself, right?"
Even the Wanzhang Sect, which wanted to watch the show without getting involved, now had no choice but to take sides; the situation was no longer simple.
They looked at each other, unable to determine who was better for the moment.
Although the people from the Mountain and Sea Sect did not speak, their positions clearly indicated their support for the Gale Sect, and the Azure Wave Valley was no exception.
Only the Zhentian Clan distanced themselves from the matter, not considering it their concern at all.
"What exactly do you people from Dragon Roar Valley want? Release us right now or don't blame us for being impolite!" The trapped group didn't just sit and wait for their fate. They put their spiritual power together and tried to break through the barrier that was trapping them, but to no avail.
The Second Elder stood outside watching the dramatic scene, took a sip of tea, and said with amusement, "Look at this, this is the power of ants, it's so weak."
...
Long Di chuckled twice and disappeared from the room, but his voice still echoed in the room, "Everyone, enjoy the grand gift I've prepared for you! I hope you like it."
