Even the millions of spectators in the square began to shout in unison:
"Great! This is what we want to see—real skill. No more favoritism."
"Everything depends on the results of the competition; this is really exciting."
"Now there won't be any cheating, right? The match should be spectacular!"
"Dragon Python Celestial Domain is saved now. Finally, we can rank based on real strength."
In the team, Lei Zhenxiao was momentarily stunned. He wasn't afraid of the competition; he just couldn't believe that his esteemed Nanshan Sect was now on the same starting line as other forces. He didn't understand what this meant. How could the Dragon Sect Master agree to such an arrangement?
Feng Zhi Yi's face turned pale with anger. This was a slap in the face to South Mountain and Nanyue Sect. Were they not going to treat the village chief as a leader? Were they not going to regard the two sects as authorities?
Apart from Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect, the other representative teams cheered. Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect had always controlled fifty percent of the resources, but now it was clear that whoever had greater strength could obtain more resources. No longer would the two major sects monopolize the benefits. This was fairer! More transparent! More just!
Only Guan Yue thought about how much debate had likely taken place among the various Major Powers to achieve this outcome. Perhaps even the Western Celestial Law Ancestor had contributed, but the two major sects would certainly not be satisfied and would likely create other troubles to undermine this result. They must have a backup plan.
Guo Prime Minister waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, then he announced:
"From now on, we will establish a Major Power Development Fund, jointly funded by all Major Powers, which will serve as the basis for resource distribution over the next ten years."
Oh, so that's how it is. The expressions of Lei Zhenxiao, Feng Zhi Yi, and others relaxed as they realized that the two super Sects would never come out at a disadvantage.
"This competition will be conducted separately for Major Powers and Empires."
The competition will consist of three rounds. In the first round, each team will face off against another, with the winners advancing to the winners' bracket and the losers going to the losers' bracket.
In the second round, both the winners and losers will be divided into smaller groups. The top two teams from each group will advance to the finals.
The third round will feature a round-robin format for the finals, where teams will be ranked based on their points. A win will earn a team one point, while a loss will deduct one point.
Finally, there will be an additional round where the champion team representing Major Power will compete against the team from the Great Empire to determine the strongest team in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
Immediately, discussions erupted in the square as everyone speculated about which team would become the champion representative, as it would be the highest honor in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Every youth present yearned for that sacred championship trophy!
The strongest representative team of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain!
Even Guan Yue felt a surge of excitement.
Lei Zhenxiao glanced at Feng Zhi Yi, who happened to look back at him at that moment. In their eyes, only they had a chance to reach the end and compete for the honor of being the strongest representative team of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain! They dismissed all other teams.
At this moment, the elders of the Crimson Fire Family began to regret their decision; they should have kept Lan Xuelei for the sake of their family's success! If she had stayed, their performance would likely have improved significantly, as Lan Xuelei's combat power was well-known.
Soon after, leaders from each representative team took to the podium to draw lots fairly.
The Crimson Fire Family drew an unfortunate lot; their first opponent was Tai Shun Pavilion. Tai Shun Pavilion is considered a mid-ranking force among the Six Great Halls. While they have not performed outstandingly in past Ranking Matches, they are not at the bottom either. This time, they put considerable effort into recruiting and training skilled practitioners from among commoners. Most of their competitors in this Ranking Match are loose practitioners from civilian backgrounds. This team's characteristic is poor coordination, but individual abilities are strong!
The first round's elimination matches are characterized by direct confrontations; winners advance to the winners' bracket while losers go to the losers' bracket.
During discussions, Guan Yue suggested not to focus on winning or losing. By entering the losers' bracket, they would face weaker opponents, increasing their chances of winning. The Crimson Fire Family did not prioritize competing for first place against other forces, so Guan Yue's proposal received agreement from the elders. However, they insisted that they should not lose too embarrassingly and aimed for at least two wins—specifically from Jin Xi and Lat's Hand—while ensuring that everyone else lost. Once they entered the losers' bracket, they could not afford any more losses.
Guan Yue made this decision because he did not want to expose his existence too early. In the Losers' Group, there would be much less attention on him. In the past, Guan Yue had always been high-profile, and others would definitely look for his presence in the Winners' Group. This is a fixed mindset.
Next, the first round of competition began, marking the start of the match.
Lan Xuelei and Ouyang Shaohua immediately embraced each other, tears appearing on their faces. Regardless of how great the gap had been between Lan Xuelei and Ouyang Shaohua in the past, they were both now wives of Guan Yue. Moreover, it had been a long time since Lan Xuelei had seen Ouyang Shaohua, filling her heart with longing and hope.
Upon meeting, Ouyang Shaohua immediately realized that Guan Yue was also present, and her tears flowed again. Finally, she could see Guan Yue once more; he was her only man. She wondered how he was doing now and if his feelings for her had changed.
Lan Xuelei quickly explained Guan Yue's current situation to Ouyang Shaohua, who then understood the difficulties he faced. A surge of determination arose within her. No, I must ensure that Guan Yue can live openly without hiding.
I can do this.
That night, Jin Xi secretly went to Lan Xuelei's residence and talked with Ouyang Shaohua for a long time. They exchanged smiles, and Jin Xi, representing Guan Yue, expressed his longing for Ouyang Shaohua. However, she said, "Many people are currently watching Lan Xuelei. They have also started paying attention to you, Ouyang Shaohua. They want to find out about Guan Yue by monitoring you two girls because you are both his favorites. Therefore, at this time, Guan Yue cannot come to see you; I hope you can understand."
Both Lan Xuelei and Ouyang Shaohua expressed their understanding. The two of them expanded their Divine Sense; Lan Xuelei did not detect anything unusual, but Ouyang Shaohua suddenly widened her eyes and immediately rushed toward a certain direction. Soon after, she dragged a black-clad Disciple and threw him to the ground, smiling at Lan Xuelei: "Sister Lan, this bastard sneaked in and has been eavesdropping on us; now it's your turn to deal with him."
Blue Demon Snow knew she couldn't let this guy go; otherwise, both Jin Xi and Guan Yue would be exposed. She was secretly puzzled about how Ouyang Shaohua was so powerful that she could detect this spy when she herself had not noticed him.
Without hesitation, the three girls began interrogating the Disciple. The interrogator, Jin Xi, was particularly skilled and enjoyed it immensely; she had many tricks up her sleeve for dealing with people. And Lan Xuelei was no pushover either; together they quickly subdued the unfortunate Disciple, forcing him to reveal all the secrets he knew.
The three girls were left in shock. It turned out there was such a huge conspiracy against Guan Yue, making them even more worried about his current situation.
Meanwhile, Long Chuanliu, returning from the Battleship to the Nanshan Sect, could not calm his anger and immediately set off to visit one of the Eighteen Envoys of the Outer Court of Heaven, Hong Wujing. Every time he came to the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, he stayed alone on a very small island called Jiangxin Island, which was only as large as three football fields. However, it was a training base specially built for him by both the Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect.
Here, all training conditions and medicinal resources were available, and there were also thirty beautiful young girls always present for his amusement.
Even more precious is the fact that there is a Primordial Qi Pool here, which is unique in the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain. The Nanshan Sect and Nanyue Sect have invested heavily to create this Primordial Qi Pool, essentially spending all their Primordial Qi on it.
Hong Wujing rarely comes to the Dragon Python Celestial Domain; if it weren't for this Primordial Qi Pool, he might not have visited even once in ten million years. However, ever since the two sects established this Primordial Qi Pool, this Lord Shang of the Transformation Realm, Hong Wujing, has frequently come to the Dragon Python Celestial Domain to support both sects.
This has led both sects to believe that this Primordial Qi Pool is worth its weight in gold.
When Long Chuanliu arrived, Hong Wujing was playfully embracing two young beauties. Upon seeing Long Chuanliu enter, Hong Wujing did not let go of the girls in his arms; instead, he encouraged them to playfully lick him. He remained relaxed on the couch and gestured for Long Chuanliu to sit down.
Before Long Chuanliu could speak, Hong Wujing spoke first: "You know why you are here, but I cannot help you. You should be aware that the Heavenly Court is divided into many factions; currently, there are three major factions vying for power, each equally matched. The person you just saw is a key figure from one of those factions. His strength far surpasses mine. I cannot deal with him and dare not expose his dark deeds. If I were to ally with him, there might be a slim chance of bringing him to justice, but his allies are more than capable of killing me a hundred times over."
Long Chuanliu immediately felt a lump in his throat and stopped talking. Since even their backing couldn't help them, further discussion was pointless.
However, Long Chuanliu still asked, "Lord Shang, I don't understand why this Lord Shang would come to our Dragon Python Celestial Domain? It must not be easy for him to visit even once?"
Hong Wujing pointed at Long Chuanliu and said, "Foolishness! There must be someone he values in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain or an old friend; otherwise, he wouldn't come here personally. This is precisely what you should pay attention to; otherwise, you might not even realize how you met your end."
"Is it really that serious?" Long Chuanliu began to worry.
Hong Wujing sighed and said helplessly, "If this Lord Shang truly wants to annihilate you, it would only take a moment, and no one would be able to rise up for revenge on your behalf. Therefore, you must identify the mastermind behind this; that is your greatest hidden danger. This is something you must collaborate closely with the Nanyue Sect on; it can be said to concern your very survival. It is of utmost importance."
Long Chuanliu immediately furrowed his brows tightly: "Who could it possibly be? So powerful?"
