Could Every Slip in the Draw Box Be Martial Emperor City?

Chu Xinghe's feelings were quite turbulent.

When Chu Xinghe heard the news that Cloud Firmament Sect had been eliminated, his first reaction was extreme joy, but this joy was quickly replaced by sadness.

You know... I've already thought it through this time. Even if the Cloud Firmament Sect makes it into the top 100, I will absolutely not pass on the Spirit Beast Mystic Art to them.

Given the Cloud Firmament Sect's nature, they'll probably launch a massive attack against Chu Xinghe across the entire world!

Even if most people in the world don't care about the Cloud Firmament Sect, there will always be a small group of people who know nothing but parrot others and will join in to slander me, Chu Xinghe.

As long as they follow my path and I can lose face, no matter how big or small, I, Chu Xinghe, will be content.

But now that the Cloud Firmament Sect has been eliminated, no one can criticize me anymore. What should I do?

Just as Chu Xinghe was racking his brains about what to do, he never expected that the Cloud Firmament Sect would launch Adversity Challenge?

Chu Xinghe laughed so hard he almost peed himself when he heard the news. Look at the Cloud Firmament Sect, they're really tenacious.

Although the Cloud Firmament Sect are morally questionable, their strength is undeniable, and their success rate in Adversity Challenge is quite high.

But before Chu Xinghe could even celebrate for long, the Grand Elder abruptly withdrew the Martial Emperor City, leaving Chu Xinghe dumbfounded.

Are you guys from the Cloud Firmament Sect even more unlucky than me Chu Xinghe?

Is Xuanwu's "blessing" really that powerful?

Even if the Cloud Firmament Sect could spare Northern Nether City today, Chu Xinghe felt that the Cloud Firmament Sect was not without a fighting chance.

But facing Martial Emperor City, this is completely on a different level... How are we supposed to compete?

Chu Xinghe almost burst into tears on the spot...

Is it because the Cloud Firmament Sect was "blessed" too powerfully by the Xuanwu, or is it because they've done too many despicable things?

Regardless of the reason, the fact that they were drawn against Martial Emperor City means the Cloud Firmament Sect is truly gone.

But as it turned out, Chu Xinghe had underestimated the shamelessness of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

That old bastard Ling Su actually jumped out and said that the Grand Elder was targeting him?

Seeing the Grand Elder so angry that he was about to close the door and release the Sect Master, Chu Xinghe was also dumbfounded.

When Chu Xinghe heard that Ling Su wanted to draw again, he wholeheartedly supported him.

See... hasn't this opportunity come along?

So Chu Xinghe agreed to Ling Su's request without hesitation, but the problem was that Ling Su could agree, Cheng Xiaotian wouldn't.

Is it Adversity Challenge a challenge to draw Martial Emperor City as Adversity Challenge?

Isn't this a gift given in adversity?

A million resources are practically given away for free. Would Cheng Xiaotian really agree to draw them again?

This put even the Grand Elder in a difficult position.

The Cloud Firmament Sect may be shameless, but the Grand Elder can choose not to stoop to their Cloud Firmament Sect.

Cheng Xiaotian refused to allow a redraw, saying that if they didn't, the Cloud Firmament Sect would shamelessly accuse the Vast Heaven Sect of targeting them.

Just as the Grand Elder was in a dilemma, Xinghe Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up.

Is this for real?

Cheng Xiaotian's main reason for refusing is because of resources, right...? It's just a million resources, isn't it?

My Vast Heaven Sect gave... My Vast Heaven Sect proved with a million resources that we would never engage in any underhanded dealings. Just tell me, who wouldn't say that my Vast Heaven Sect incredibly generous!

More importantly, with those millions of resources invested, tell me, is there any loss or not...?

This is a real loss of millions of resources... so Chu Xinghe didn't hesitate to offer his opinion.

When the Grand Elder heard Xinghe express his willingness to offer a million resources to compensate Martial Emperor City, he was somewhat upset that he was giving away a million resources for nothing.

Upon closer examination, while Xinghe's actions resulted in a loss of resources, they also enhanced the reputation of the Vast Heaven Sect.

The Grand Elder was speechless at today's draw... He was completely dumbfounded when Martial Emperor City was drawn out of nowhere.

Although the Grand Elder dares to swear to God, I really didn't do anything underhanded in this case.

But given the Cloud Firmament Sect's shamelessness, wouldn't the whole world feel betrayed after their defeat?

If some things are repeated a lot, some idiots will believe them, so if you really spread them, it will damage your reputation.

But now, my Vast Heaven Sect is willing to offer a million spirit stones. Who can accuse me of cheating?

So the Grand Elder knows that Xinghe is a perfectly fine child... Xinghe is going to use millions of resources to tell the whole world that the Grand Elder is definitely not someone who engages in favoritism or corruption.

It has to be Xinghe... To prove himself, Xinghe didn't even blink an eye when he gave me a million resources... He truly is my most outstanding disciple!

As the Grand Elder had predicted, the once quiet scene descended into chaos as Xinghe spoke.

To be honest, when the Grand Elder drew out Martial Emperor City just now, some people did suspect that the Grand Elder might be targeting the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that the Grand Elder so precisely selected Martial Emperor City out of a hundred teams?

But the Grand Elder's actions were all performed in front of everyone, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.

So, was it simply bad luck for the Cloud Firmament Sect, or was it something the Grand Elder did on purpose?

But now, with Chu Xinghe spending millions to have Ling Su redraw the lots, anyone with a modicum of common sense understands that the Grand Elder would never target the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Although the Cloud Firmament Sect hasn't done much in the past two years, the Grand Elder still knows his limits in public. He knows what he can and cannot do.

Now that the Vast Heaven Sect is willing to offer millions in resources to prove their innocence, and look at the Grand Elder's face, red with anger, who can accuse the Grand Elder of any underhanded dealings?

The Grand Elder walked down from the stage to Xinghe's side, gently patted Xinghe's shoulder, and everything was understood without words.

Although a million resources is a lot, the Grand Elder felt that compared to Xinghe's sincerity, these million resources were worth spending!

Xinghe is not only kind and righteous, but he also spares no effort for the sect and is extremely respectful to his elders. The Grand Elder sighed again that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to discover Xinghe!

With the Vast Heaven Sect's million resources proving their innocence, Ling Su naturally became the clown. At this moment, everyone watched as the clown Ling Su personally walked onto the drawing platform.

This time, the Grand Elder won't make a move, and no one in the Vast Heaven Sect will either. After all, if we even touch the lottery box, the Cloud Firmament Sect will act like a mad dog and accuse us of targeting them.

So the whole process was handled by your Cloud Firmament Sect, and you, Ling Su, personally drew the ball. Tell me, how can you still shamelessly claim that Vast Heaven Sect is targeting you?

Amidst the murmurs of countless people, Ling Su arrived at the lottery box. Without much delay, Ling Su reached out and pulled out a name card from the box.

Then, in front of everyone, Ling Su slowly opened the name card.

But the moment the invitations were opened, the previously noisy scene fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the three large, gilded characters on the name card: Martial Emperor City!

The audience. "???"

Ling Su: "???"

Not to mention Ling Su, even Cheng Xiaotian was stunned at this moment...

What does it mean for Heaven to have eyes?

When Chu Xinghe jumped out and said that Vast Heaven Sect would take the million resources, Cheng Xiaotian was actually somewhat resistant.

After all, it was originally our Martial Emperor City that took away our million resources from the Cloud Firmament Sect through our strength, but now the Vast Heaven Sect is giving our Martial Emperor City a million resources, even though the resources are the same.

But Cheng Xiaotian also had to think about it. Although these million resources were given by the shameless Vast Heaven Sect of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Vast Heaven Sect had still contributed resources. So, wouldn't this affect the close friendship between our Martial Emperor City and the Vast Heaven Sect?

While millions of resources are plentiful, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to ruin a friendship over them?

But now, when Ling Su personally drew out the Martial Emperor City, Cheng Xiaotian burst out laughing!

This is it!

See... this is what they call that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and Heaven never forgives anyone!

The million resources of the Cloud Firmament Sect belong to our Martial Emperor City, and they must remain ours. They can't run away even if they want to.

Ling Su was completely dumbfounded...

Your Vast Heaven Sect still claims there's nothing fishy going on?

They said they weren't targeting our Cloud Firmament Sect, but is this lottery box full of people from Martial Emperor City?

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

Everyone present was speechless at this point, and many even secretly glanced at the Grand Elder, their eyes seemingly asking...

No way... Elder... Could the lottery box really be full of players from Martial Emperor City?

Not to mention anyone else, Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded...

At this moment, Chu Xinghe's gaze also furtively drifted towards the Grand Elder... Um... Grand Elder... Could their suspicions be true? Are all the people in this lottery box really from Martial Emperor City?

Hey... you could at least have included a few other ones... isn't it a bit much to have only Martial Emperor City?

The Grand Elder felt numb as all eyes turned to him.

However, the Grand Elder knew very well that there was no point in explaining at this point, so in front of everyone, he spoke to Ling Su, who was already dumbfounded.

"Elder Ling... cough cough... Ling Su... to prove my innocence, you will now open the lottery box yourself. If there is another Martial Emperor City inside, I will request to be expelled from the Vast Heaven Sect!"

Good heavens, the moment the Grand Elder uttered those words, all the doubts in the room vanished instantly.

The elder's words were indeed too harsh. If there had been any foul play involved in the lottery box, the elder would never have said such a thing.

Soon, the raffle box was opened, and all the name cards were opened in full view of everyone. One hundred gold-embossed name cards from each team appeared on it...

The entire lottery box was completely legitimate; the fact that the Martial Emperor City was drawn twice in a row had nothing to do with anyone else—it was simply fate.

This might be the legendary showdown of destiny.

Chu Xinghe n't know what a fateful duel was. All he knew was, "This is fate! You've already tricked the Cloud Firmament Sect, why are you dragging me into it too?"

How am I supposed to send out those million resources now, in this fateful showdown...?
