One Man Fought the Martial Competition Out of Existence
Martial Emperor City refused to stay at the Vast Heaven Sect for even a moment longer.
When Cheng Xiaotian left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Including this martial arts competition, although Martial Emperor City has lost a total of sixteen times, the reason why Martial Emperor City lost before was simply because the disciples were not skilled enough.
Even when disciples of Martial Emperor City lose, it's usually only by a move or two. Far from being shameful, it's actually quite prestigious.
After all, that's the Vast Heaven Sect. In this world, only our Martial Emperor City can rival the Vast Heaven Sect.
But this time, Martial Emperor City has truly lost face beyond measure.
Did they bring disciples of the Demonic Sect to the Vast Heaven Sect for a martial arts competition?
What? Your Demonic Sect Martial Emperor City has reached a friendly cooperation? Strategic partnership?
That's not the worst part. The worst part is that Mo Kai, under the influence of his demonic energy eruption on stage, managed to defeat Mu Bai, which would at least be considered a success.
But not only did you fail to defeat Mu Bai, you even managed to force Mu Bai to break through in the final moments and chop you up. What does that mean?
Upon returning to Martial Emperor City, Cheng Xiaotian immediately instructed the elders to thoroughly screen all the disciples who had entered the Martial Emperor City.
Wow, you wouldn't know unless you tried screening! And once you do, it's amazing how amazing it is...
Besides Mo Kai, they managed to identify five or six more disciples who had intricate connections with the Demonic Sect.
I heard that Cheng Xiaotian was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot.
Are you Demonic Sect mad dogs?
Next year, we from Martial Emperor City will just recruit disciples directly from your Demonic Sect!
Zheng Yu was responsible for dealing with all the Martial Emperor City disciples who had connections to the Demonic Sect.
Wiping the blood from his hands, Zheng Yu felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for Senior Brother Xinghe.
In recent years, the Demonic Sect has been unable to defeat them head-on, so they have started resorting to these despicable and underhanded methods.
Last year, they infiltrated the Vast Heaven Sect, but were discovered in advance by Senior Brother Xinghe and killed in the Abyss of Trials. This year, these Demonic Sect disciples have actually begun to infiltrate the Martial Emperor City.
It's not because they don't want to infiltrate the Vast Heaven Sect, but because the Vast Heaven Sect has Senior Brother Xinghe.
Senior Brother Xinghe seems to have a natural advantage over the Demonic Sect, always able to anticipate the movements of its disciples.
It's a pity I didn't heed Senior Brother Xinghe's advice this time, and as a result, I took Mo Kai under my wing, becoming a disgrace to Martial Emperor City.
Zheng Yu secretly vowed that from now on, he would carefully analyze every word and action of Senior Brother Xinghe, because this incident showed that Senior Brother Xinghe's seemingly unintentional actions often contained profound meanings.
The Vast Heaven Sect's celebration banquet was held as scheduled, but like last year, the banquet was missing the supporting character, Martial Emperor City.
But who cares, right...?
Sect Gu Mingchao raised his glass to congratulate the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom for winning glory for the sect.
Although the sect leader did not mention Chu Xinghe, everyone present knew that Senior Brother Xinghe was the true winner of this martial arts competition.
Putting everything else aside, you can tell just by looking at Senior Brother Xinghe's ability to arrange troops.
Whether it was Mu Xiaoqi's instant kill or Mu Heng's later mastery of fire-based techniques, it must have been something Senior Brother Xinghe had planned for a long time!
Senior Brother Xinghe may seem like he doesn't care about anything every day, but in reality, Senior Brother Xinghe has already planned everything out.
Mu Bai, holding a wine glass, found Senior Brother Xinghe sitting there with a calm expression.
"Mu Bai respectfully greets Senior Brother Xinghe..." Mu Bai said, downing the wine in his cup in one gulp.
When Senior Brother Xinghe made him lose to Mo Kai, Mu Bai actually had a little bit of resistance in his heart.
However, after Mo Kai's identity was exposed, Mu Bai realized that Senior Brother Xinghe did not truly want him to lose to Mo Kai. Senior Brother Xinghe's so-called intention to make him lose was actually a way to force Mo Kai to reveal his true form!
That's right! That must be it!
Mu Bai was absolutely certain that the reason Senior Brother Xinghe refused to tell him his purpose from the beginning was because he was afraid that he would reveal a flaw on stage.
Because if he reveals a weakness, Mo Kai will definitely notice, and then how can he be truly provoked into showing himself!
This can be seen from the wink Senior Brother Xinghe gave him at the end.
As soon as Senior Brother Xinghe gave him a wink, Mo Kai immediately self-destructed. Senior Brother Xinghe had already planned all of this!
Moreover, seeing how calm Senior Brother Xinghe is now, Mu Bai felt that his guess was definitely correct.
Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed as unfathomable as ever.
After drinking with Mu Bai Chu Xinghe, Chu Xinghe just wanted to die...
Was that indifference? No, I was utterly despondent!
Was that Lao Tzu's purpose in arranging military formations?
Who would have thought that the side effects of cultivating both metal and fire could be so intense?
And those top three! I still feel a little guilty about kicking them out back then.
But now Chu Xinghe just wants to say, "I was wrong!"
If I had known you guys were this bad, would I have chosen the Muyue Kingdom?
And Mo Kai... couldn't you have told me beforehand that you were Devil Race spy?
If I had known even a little that you were a spy for the Demonic Sect, would I have handed you over to Martial Emperor City? I would have absolutely made you a role model for my Vast Heaven Sect.
If the benchmark sect self-destructs and becomes Demonic Sect, then I ask you, will the sect still have any face left?
But it's too late to say anything now... Junior Brother Zheng Yu, I'm so sorry... I promised that I would never let Martial Emperor City lose a single defeat at the Vast Heaven Sect, I was wrong... Don't worry, I will do my best next year, and I will find a way to arrange for three disciples from the Demonic Sect to compete with you.
How about I give you a triple burst of energy in the ring to liven things up?
Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering how to recruit three disciples from the Demonic Sect to infiltrate the sect, a message arrived at the Vast Heaven Sect in the form of a spirit bird.
Slightly drunk, Gu Mingchao opened the spirit bird and burst into wild laughter after just one glance!
"Haha... Martial Emperor City has truly admitted defeat this time!"
After speaking, Gu Mingchao displayed the information on the spirit bird to everyone.
When the message about the spirit bird was seen, the entire audience erupted in cheers!
This spirit bird came from Martial Emperor City, and the person who sent it out was Cheng Xiaotian, the Martial Emperor City Lord. The information on the spirit bird was very simple.
The incident involving Martial Emperor City has been truly shameful. Therefore, Martial Emperor City has decided that this year's disciple martial arts competition will be the last one. From now on, Martial Emperor City will no longer hold disciple martial arts competitions at the Vast Heaven Sect!
When this news came out, everyone laughed!
Look! Martial Emperor City has completely backed down this time.
Including this time, there have been a total of seventeen martial arts competitions. Although Martial Emperor City only won once in the past sixteen competitions, even though it lost fifteen times, Martial Emperor City still comes to the competition every year.
However, after Senior Brother Xinghe killed three people with one sword last year, Martial Emperor City fled in disarray. This year, Senior Brother Xinghe, with his strategic planning, severely damaged Martial Emperor City with the Muyue Kingdom, causing Martial Emperor City to lose face.
Not only did they suffer three defeats in three battles, but the matter of the Demonic Sect disciples was also exposed. Martial Emperor City also has a reputation to maintain... In the end, Cheng Xiaotian directly canceled the future martial arts competition for disciples.
Senior Brother Xinghe single-handedly subdued Martial Emperor City!
This completely wiped out the disciples' martial arts skills!
All eyes turned to Chu Xinghe, who remained calm and composed in the center of the arena.
Look... No wonder he's Senior Brother Xinghe! In this world, there's probably only one Senior Brother Xinghe who can make Martial Emperor City back down like this!
Cheng Xiaotian, that old scoundrel, is quite clever. He has already realized that as long as Senior Brother Xinghe is still in the Vast Heaven Sect, their Martial Emperor City has absolutely no chance of winning.
In that case, it might as well be canceled altogether...
"May God bless Vast Heaven!"
It's unclear who started it, but someone shouted it out, and suddenly even Gu Mingchao joined in...
God bless Vast Heaven! God bless Vast Heaven...
Chu Xinghe was completely numb...
Martial Emperor City, have you no shame? You lost this year, so what? As the second-largest sect in the world, why are you just admitting defeat like this?
According to the usual pattern, shouldn't you go back and reflect deeply, and vow to completely crush the Vast Heaven Sect and Chu Xinghe under your feet next year?
I've already written the script for you guys for next year... No matter how tough things get for me, Chu Xinghe, next year, I'll find a way to get three Demonic Sect disciples for the Vast Heaven Sect. Can't I just kowtow and apologize to you with a triple bang?
What's with you canceling it all at once?
What happened to the promise to surpass the Vast Heaven Sect and reclaim the throne of the world's number one sect?
I, Chu Xinghe, haven't given up on helping you, and you've already backed down? What does that mean?
Chu Xinghe was almost in tears.
Countless fellow disciples rushed to Chu Xinghe for drinks, praising him for his awesomeness, saying that he single-handedly wiped out the entire Senior Brother Xinghe sect, and that for the first time in thousands of years, Martial Emperor City had to back down...
As long as Senior Brother Xinghe is in the Vast Heaven Sect, Martial Emperor City will never dare to mention disciples' martial arts skills again!
Chu Xinghe was moved to tears... I thank you all, ancestors for eight generations...
The news that Martial Emperor City had canceled its martial arts competition for disciples still caused quite a stir among all parties.
Although everyone knows that the reason why Martial Emperor City is in this state is because the incident involving the Demonic Sect disciples has indeed embarrassed Martial Emperor City.
But everyone also understands that all of this stems from Chu Xinghe.
In the past, Martial Emperor City also lost to the Vast Heaven Sect, but the defeat was dignified, as the difference in strength between the two sides was not that great.
However, after these two generations of disciples finished their martial arts competitions, Martial Emperor City was completely humiliated by the Vast Heaven Sect.
Zheng Yu was one thing, since Chu Xinghe was too terrifying, and it was understandable that Zheng Yu was no match for him. But Mo Kai's situation was truly a huge embarrassment.
But no matter what, it all started because of Chu Xinghe.
In recent years, many people have said that the Vast Heaven Sect has declined, and there are several of the Ten Great Sects that keep shouting that they want to take its place.
Now, they were all silent. The Vast Heaven Sect had simply stumbled upon an incredible stroke of luck.
Four hundred years ago, the tenth generation Great Emperor Haotian was unparalleled in the world. It was thought that four hundred years later Vast Heaven Sect would begin to decline slowly.
Who would have thought that another peerless genius like Chu Xinghe would emerge? Moreover, not only is his cultivation unmatched among the younger generation, but what's most terrifying is that his mind has reached a monstrous level.
When the news first broke that Gu Mingchao was going to groom Chu Xinghe as the Future sect leader, many people's first reaction was that this was too early.
Chu Xinghe is just a newcomer; is Gu Mingchao in such a hurry?
But now, looking at it again... everyone realized that it wasn't that Gu Mingchao was impatient; it was mainly because Chu Xinghe was too terrifying.
If Chu Xinghe were his own disciple, he would definitely do the same as Gu Mingchao!
No! Perhaps I'm even more ruthless than Gu Mingchao, and it's not entirely impossible that I could directly make Chu Xinghe the young sect leader!
After a joyous banquet, Chu Xinghe bid farewell to his fellow disciples and went to the Artifact Refining Palace alone.
Although it was late at night, the sounds of furnaces exploding in the Artifact Refining Palace did not diminish at all. Chu Xinghe stepped into the Artifact Refining Palace and found Ouyang Ming, who had not even attended the banquet because of the Hundred Refinements Valley incident.
Ouyang Ming, I'm a little worried about your sudden dedication!
But after taking one look, Chu Xinghe felt relieved...
Right now Ouyang Ming, covered in soot and grime after the explosion, is happily drinking and eating meat with a group of Ouyang Lineage disciples... Although he wasn't there, the food and drink were just as plentiful, even far more abundant than a banquet!
As expected of the Ouyang Lineage! They truly inspire confidence!
