“Shen Lian from the Sect of Thunderclap.”

“Scorpion King Tu Sanchuan!”

“Please.” “Kill!”

On the stage, the two disciples each pulled out the long spears on their backs and fought at the same spot.

Guan Shi’an was not in the mood because of Yin Jianghong’s disturbance. He wanted to reorganize the Gathering of Young Heroes. Originally, he wanted to change the name of the competition as well. However, under Yin Jianghong’s insistence, he still retained the name of Gathering of Young Heroes.

“Ah!”

After a few moves, there was only a miserable cry. Shen Liannai, who had been stabbed in the left shoulder, admitted defeat.

“Scorpion King Tu Sanchuan wins.”

Following the chief judge’s somewhat helpless announcement, the disciples of the demonic cult burst into cheers.

“Beautifully fought! Brother Sanchuan is too awesome!”

“Brother Tu, I’ll leave the door open for you tonight “

“Hahaha, I’ll leave a door open for you too.”

“Get lost! Don’t disgust me.”

Compared to the cheers and laughter from the demonic cult’s disciples, the righteous sect disciples were in a miserable state.

“How could this be… Brother Shen actually lost.”

It wasn’t that the righteous sect disciples couldn’t afford to lose, but they had lost to demonic cult in many matches these past two days. There were many really strong disciples lost as well.

“Aiya, it seems that our demonic cult won in the Spear Arts Arena too. Thank you, Sect Master Guan. Don’t tell me that the righteous sect disciples are going easy on us because we’re the guest? There’s really no need for that. Our demonic cult disciples had won too many times.”

On the high platform, Yin Jianghong said to Guan Shi’an with a smile on her face.

Guan Shi’an thought that Yin Jianghong must have come prepared. He believed that Yin Jianghong must have some destructive plan to attack them. Therefore, he had secretly asked the elders and all the subordinates in the sect to investigate.

However, after two days of competition, Guan Shi’an found that Yin Jianghong had no other plans at all. Yin Jianghong only brought the proud disciples of his family to pick up a fight. After two days of competition, the righteous sect was completely suppressed. They even dominated some of the matches. Not a single righteous sect disciple advanced to the next round.

This made Guan Shi’an very embarrassed, but he could not understand why. Logically speaking, the resources or reputation of the demonic cult could not compete with the righteous sect. Why was the younger generation of the demonic cult so powerful?

Seeing that Guan Shi’an didn’t speak, Yin Jianghong didn’t have any intention of stopping and continued to blabber, “Sect Master Guan, are you angry? It’s a competition. There will always be winners and losers. Maybe next time you’ll win, who know!”

Guan Shi’an took a deep breath and looked ahead, “Cult Master Yin, the competition is still going on. We don’t know how it ends yet.”

“Of course, it’s just that we, the demonic cult, believe in having fun at the right time. If you win now, you can have fun now. You can feel bad only after you lose.”

Guan Shi’an didn’t say anything after hearing that. He looked at another arena.

On the other side, Jiang Beiran went to the side of the arena after defeating his opponent. He found that the righteous sect disciples were still losing.

Although Jiang Beiran didn’t expect the righteous sect disciples to lose so miserably, he still understood why it had become like this.

The was a difference in the “recruitment channel” between demonic cult and righteous sect.

Among the composition of the righteous sect’s disciples, a large portion of them were the disciples of various families in Fengzhou. Not only did these disciples have a good foundation, but they could also provide connections to the sect. It could be said that they were perfect.

As for the demonic cult, many of the disciples who joined were the children of the poorest families or orphans. Most of them were not as talented as the disciples of the big families, but they had the advantage in number. The righteous sect could have recruited one hundred disciples, while the demonic cult could have ten thousand disciples. Hence, the difference was obvious. The demonic cult had a better chance of recruiting more elite disciples than the righteous sect.

If the righteous sects continued to believe in the disciples of the family and ignored the “bumpkins” in their eyes, the gap between the new generation of both parties would become bigger and bigger.

“If that’s the case, it would be good for the righteous sect to be beaten up. Then I could carry out my plan.” However, Jiang Beiran sighed as soon as he thought about it, “But the demonic cult must be up to something else.”

Another day of competition passed, and the righteous sect disciples were still losing. The number of righteous sect disciples that remained in the various competitions also decreased.

At night, all the righteous sect disciples who had not been eliminated were gathered in a banquet hall. Jiang Beiran glanced around and found that there were only about 60 people left.

“Almost all of them are eliminated…”

On the main table, all the Sect Masters had solemn expressions. At this time, they were no longer worried about what evil scheme Yin Jianghong was hatching. Instead, they were worried about their reputation if they completely lost the competition tomorrow. As for Guan Shi’an, who loved to show off, the past two days had been an excruciating experience to him. A good “show-off gathering” had turned into a “face-smacking gathering”. This was completely unacceptable to him.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was getting more and more depressing, Guan Shi’an stood up with a glass of wine in his hand and said to the disciples on the other tables, “The new generation disciples of the demonic cult indeed have astonishing strength. We have to admit this, but in such an intense confrontation, you still won. So, I believe that you can continue to win in such a victorious manner to the end.” “In addition, in order to raise your morale, if you win the first place in a competition of martial arts or any other competition, I will reward you with another five middle tier spirit stones.”

After hearing this, all the disciples present immediately stood up and cupped their hands, saying, “We will definitely do our best to win first place!”

All the disciples looked excited. A total of five middle tier spirit stones! This was a fortune that they did not dare to imagine.

Of course, not every disciple was this excited. If it were a few days ago, Wu Qingce might have been the same as them. However, after attending the auction with his Jiang Beiran, he no longer had any feelings for the five middle tier spirit stones. After all, the cheapest item that in the auction cost fifteen middle tier spirit stones. “Hey, five middle tier spirit stones, I heard it too!” At this time, Yin Jianghong suddenly pushed open the door of the banquet hall and shouted. He was holding half a greasy roasted leg of mutton in his hand.

Guan Shi’an had been annoyed by Yin Jianghong for the past two days. He almost crushed the wine glass in his hand when he heard Yin Jianghong’s voice. After taking a deep breath, he said, “What’s the matter, Cult Master Yin?”

“Oh, I’m here to thank Sect Master Guan. You gave so many good wines and dishes to entertain my demonic cult’s disciples. I’m really touched. Also, let me ask, if my disciples win the first place, will they get an additional five middle tier spirit stones as well?”

Resisting the urge to curse, Guan Shi’an replied, “This is my personal encouragement to my disciples, not a reward.”

“Don’t be so formal. We’re family now, we should share…”

“Who’s your family! If there’s nothing else, please leave. I still have something to say to these disciples.”

After taking a bite of the roasted lamb leg, Yin Jianghong didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced and said, “There’s no rush. I haven’t thanked you yet. Look, you guys still treat us to a big meal after losing to us. I’m really grateful.”

Seeing that Yin Jianghong was going to annoy him again, Guan Shilan could only say to the other Sect Masters, “Let’s call it a day. Go back and give your own disciples some encouragement.”

“Okay. Sect Master Guan, please be careful.”

The Sect Masters cupped their hands at Guan Shi’an. Then, they left the banquet hall and brought their own disciples out.

“Hey, are you guys leaving already? Let’s talk more. Your disciples performed really well.”

As soon as Yin Jianghong finished speaking, Guan Shi’an came in front of him and pulled him to the main table.

After leaving the banquet hall, Lu Yinlong brought the disciples back to his courtyard.

Walking into the hall, Lu Yinlong sat on the armchair and sighed.

There were still five disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts had not been eliminated yet. They were Wu Qingce, Lin Yuyan, Mo Xia, Ning Yushu, and Jiang Beiran.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Beiran could not help but sigh in his heart.

“As expected, I’m the strongest in the Sect of Returning Hearts.”

After sighing, Lu Yinlong raised his head and said, “Although the performance of the righteous sect this time was a little bleak, I’m still slightly relieved. Among the remaining eight disciples in the martial competition, there’s one from our sect. Qingce, well done.”

Wu Qingce immediately bowed and said, “Thank you for your praise, Sect Master.”

Then, Lu Yinlong looked at the other four disciples and said, “You have a heavy responsibility too. In the past, the righteous sect was always proud of being proficient in the six arts. But now, we have been swept away by those bumpkins from the demonic cult in the arts of zither, calligraphy, and painting. How embarrassing.”

In fact, Jiang Beiran was also very surprised about this. He could understand that they lost to the disciples of demonic cult in the martial arts. However, he didn’t expect that the disciples of the demonic cult had also started to cultivate other skills. Each of them had their own unique skills.

There was no first place non-martial arts competition. However, it was actually very easy to tell who performed better and who was worse.

Lu Yinlong shook his head and continued, “You should have heard it just now. Sect Master Guan said that he would reward the winner with five middle tier spirit stones. Then, as the Sect Master, I naturally can’t be stingy. As long as you can win the first place, I’ll add another ten middle tier spirit stones.”

“Thank you, Sect Master!” The five of them cupped their hands together. “Go and have a good rest. It’s up to you tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

As soon as the five of them walked out of the house, Ning Yushu said excitedly, “Fifteen middle tier spirit stones! I’ve never seen so many of them in my life. I think we should thank those lackeys of the demonic cult this time.”

However, Ning Yushu found that the other four people didn’t seem to be very excited after he said that.

For a moment, Ning Yushu lost his hype. The righteous sect disciples had suffered such a tragic defeat this time, yet he was still happy. He really shouldn’t be happy.

Therefore, the five people silently returned to the guest house along the way and went upstairs separately. Lin Yuyan didn’t directly return to her room. Instead, she danced all the way to the top floor of the guest house. She couldn’t hold back the excitement in her heart anymore.

“Senior brother actually walked with met in front of so many people! Are we going public with our relationship? Aiya!”

Lin Yuyan thought of slapping away a lantern hanging by the side! Her pretty face turned completely red.
