Could Senior Brother Xinghe Really Know the Past and Future?

I, Chu Xinghe, don't even have a spirit beast. What can I, Chu Xinghe, do besides lose when I go on stage? Tell me!

This means I've taken my destiny into my own hands, and no one can rewrite it from my control!

Team fights can be won, but I, Chu Xinghe, must lose!

Chu Xinghe is determined to be a man who takes his destiny into his own hands!

However, Chu Xinghe wasn't the only one who took his destiny into his own hands this round... Xu Sheng, the Grand Elder of the Listening Snow Pavilion, became the man who took his destiny into his own hands in this round.

Because in this round... he was in charge of drawing lots...

When the results were announced, Xu Sheng burst into tears...

Um... I'm not feeling well... I've been sick for a long time... I can't do the drawing of lots... Could you please draw lots again?

However, all the elders from each sect claimed to be in poor health... and now they all said, "We're even more unwell than you..."

When the disciples of the Listening Snow Pavilion heard that their own Grand Elder had been chosen as the one to draw lots for this round, they all cried.

Elder Xu... I've told you to accumulate good karma, but you wouldn't listen... Now you're getting your comeuppance...

Our Listening Snow Pavilion is so strong... We were aiming for the top ten... We were going to win a huge prize, but you've ruined our path to the next round. How can you do this to us?

Although there was widespread lamentation throughout the Listening Snow Pavilion, the lottery still had to proceed.

However, the Grand Elder arranged for more disciples to be drawn on the lottery stage today.

In particular, two Vast Heaven Sect disciples were specially arranged to be by Elder Xu's side, in case Elder Xu fell down like Elder Li did last time, they had to help him up immediately.

Under the Grand Elder's enthusiastic arrangement, the lottery ceremony began.

Elder Xu's heart pounded with despair, and his trembling hands began to pull out the name cards!

As the battle pairs were drawn one by one, fewer and fewer pairs remained. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Elder Xu drew their Listening Snow Pavilion.

The moment Listening Snow Pavilion appeared, the entire audience erupted in applause, even Chu Xinghe joined in.

I don't know who started shouting that!

Then, at the scene in Martial Emperor City... the Vast Heaven Sect erupted in chaos... Xu Sheng's hands were trembling so badly, anyone who didn't know better would have thought Elder Xu had a naturally gifted body capable of breaking eggs...

Amidst everyone's shouts, Elder Xu pulled out a name card.

The moment the invitation was opened, the already bustling scene reached its peak in an instant.

On the name card that Elder Xu pulled out were three large, gold-embossed characters: Martial Emperor City!

The entire lottery venue erupted in chaos!

This is truly the most bizarre lottery box in the Vast Heaven Sect... Could this thing be some kind of divine artifact crafted by Ouyang Ming...?

It comes with a built-in curse function for its owner, right?

Elder Xu nearly collapsed to the ground, his vision blurred.

Fortunately, two disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect reacted quickly and caught Elder Xu, who was about to collapse, thus preventing a tragedy from occurring.

Elder Xu looked at the invitation card from Martial Emperor City in his hand, and tears were almost streaming down his face...

Is it really that outrageous?

But seeing the crowd screaming and yelling below, Elder Xu was so angry he almost wet himself.

"What are you all yelling about! Wait until one of you draws the Vast Heaven Sect, then let's see if you're still yelling!"

As soon as Elder Xu said this, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent, because what Elder Xu said made perfect sense.

Although Elder Xu has taken Martial Emperor City ahead of schedule... there is still the great demon king, Vast Heaven Sect.

Compared to Martial Emperor City, no one would want to encounter the Vast Heaven Sect...

You could say you could put up a fight against Martial Emperor City, but tell me, how are you going to fight against the Clear Vast Heaven Sect?

Those characters are all capable of taking on five opponents at once, how are we supposed to play against them?

Faced with Elder Xu's threat, Chu Xinghe was also teary-eyed... However, Chu Xinghe said, "Please don't be so pessimistic. No matter who is unlucky enough to draw my Vast Heaven Sect this time, I, Chu Xinghe, as the vanguard, must give you a winning start!"

I, Chu Xinghe, don't even have a spirit beast. Even if you lose, it's only after you've defeated me, Chu Xinghe.

So you shouldn't be too pessimistic at all.

Even if you lose, you'll still have to brag about defeating me, Chu Xinghe, for a year!

I, Chu Xinghe, don't even have a spirit beast; I'm already in a losing position!

The entire room tensed up at this moment, but Elder Xu, seeing the tense crowd, relaxed instead.

"Come on... let me see who's lucky enough to draw the Vast Heaven Sect..."

"Oh dear... Northern Nether City... I wonder if Northern Nether City will be able to draw the Vast Heaven Sect?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... What a pity, Northern Nether City had bad luck... He didn't get it..."

The people of Northern Nether City wiped the sweat from their brows, expressing their gratitude to God for Northern Nether City!

"Oh dear... Star Moon Sect... Is the Star Moon Sect going to draw the Vast Heaven Sect this time?"

"Sigh... even the Star Moon Sect doesn't have that kind of luck..."

Elder Xu was now launching into a tirade on stage, no matter who was drawn, Elder Xu would resort to a series of invocations and prayers, hoping to help the other party draw the Vast Heaven Sect.

However, Elder Xu's summoning of the gods was clearly inferior to Elder Li's, so the Vast Heaven Sect was not drawn out for a long time.

But the further we go, the more tense things become among the forces behind us...

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, Elder Xu finally pulled out the name card of the Vast Heaven Sect!

When the three large, gilded characters of the Vast Heaven Sect appeared on the scene, the entire area erupted in chaos once again.

"Which lucky guy got to draw the Vast Heaven Sect...?"

"No, it wasn't us... we've already finished..."

"It wasn't us... we got one too. I'm so envious of those who got to draw from the Vast Heaven Sect... It's a pity we didn't have a chance."

"Sect Leader Zhao, don't be so smug. As the saying goes, the more you gloat this round, the less likely you are to meet the Vast Heaven Sect or the Martial Emperor City in the next draw..."

"Get lost... you jinx!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elder Xu began to draw his opponent from the Vast Heaven Sect. However, when Elder Xu reached into the drawing box, his expression changed drastically.

The next second, Elder Xu withdrew his empty hand and addressed everyone. "That's all..."

That's all?

There was a lot of confusion at the scene... but people quickly realized what was going on.

The last round had fifty teams, and after advancing, only half remained, so there are twenty-five teams... Therefore, theoretically, one team will get a bye. Everyone was so tense because of Elder Xu's encouragement that we almost forgot about this.

Meanwhile, all twenty-four other teams had found opponents, so wasn't the Vast Heaven Sect, the twenty-fifth team to be drawn, left with a bye?

Therefore, the Vast Heaven Sect received a bye and advanced directly in this round!

A round of applause immediately erupted in the audience.

Almost all the factions present agreed that there was nothing wrong with the Vast Heaven Sect a bye this time!

What? You're saying the Vast Heaven Sect Sky Sect was just lucky to get a bye?

That's right, we're just too lucky... the Vast Heaven Sect got a bye... which means we won't be meeting the Vast Heaven Sect. Don't you think we're lucky?

What?

Do you think the Vast Heaven Sect might engage in underhanded tactics?

Has your brain gotten full of rice porridge?

What is the strength of the Vast Heaven Sect? Every single person present, without exception, dares to claim they can directly confront the Vast Heaven Sect.

So isn't it the best thing for everyone that the Vast Heaven Sect gets a bye?

Let alone this round of byes, it would be absolutely wonderful if the Vast Heaven Sect could have byes all the way to the very last round!

If Listening Snow Pavilion ends up with no bye today, I bet many people will jump out and say, "Elder Xu, are you perhaps pulling some kind of shady deal?"

However, the fact that Vast Heaven Sect got a bye today can be considered a happy event for everyone.

Since nobody wants to run into the Vast Heaven Sect, what's wrong with the Vast Heaven Sect getting a bye on the spot?

When it was confirmed that Vast Heaven Sect had indeed received a bye, all the sects present expressed their support, saying, "No problem! We strongly support Vast Heaven Sect receiving a bye!"

It's even more gratifying to see the Vast Heaven Sect get a bye than to see us get a bye ourselves...

The Grand Elder smiled... Throughout the entire process, the Grand Elder didn't even touch the lottery box, lest people accuse him of rigging the game.

But thank Vast Heaven... we didn't get a bye...

Although the Grand Elder has absolutely no objection to not having a turn... it's not a bad thing to be able to rest for a while...

So the elder's face was practically beaming with joy.

The Vast Heaven Sect received a bye this round... People from the Vast Heaven Sect and other sects alike expressed their joy.

The people from the Vast Heaven Sect think we were lucky to advance directly... others think we were lucky we didn't encounter the Vast Heaven Sect...

Just when everyone was saying we were lucky... some people named Chu Xinghe, though standing among the joyful crowd, realized that people's joy is sometimes completely incomprehensible...

Chu Xinghe didn't know how others were happy; all he knew was, "Who the hell can I complain to now?"

Ugh! Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on here?

I, Chu Xinghe, have already arranged my troops and formations...

I'm practically ready to go up and deliver myself... I'm already in a hopeless situation!

I'm going to be killed indiscriminately...

I don't even have a spirit beast... how the hell am I supposed to win?

But Chu Xinghe didn't know how he won the situation, as everyone knows... Now that a round of byes has been completed, all of Chu Xinghe's strategies and formations have been ruined.

Mu Bai and the others were also incredulous...

When Senior Brother Xinghe said he would be starting this round, everyone said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, are you out of your mind?"

You don't even have a spirit beast, how can you start?

Although Ouyang Ming said, "Does that mean my Senior Brother Xinghe can't win without a spirit beast?"

But listen to Ouyang Ming —is that even human language?

Without a spirit beast, how can I win?

But now everyone is wondering how to win, while Senior Brother Xinghe knows how!

This time... we get a bye! We advance directly!

Previously, it was rumored that Senior Brother Xinghe, like the Fox Clan prophet of the Demon Star Province, had the ability to observe celestial phenomena and know the past Future.

The people of the Vast Heaven Sect initially dismissed this claim with a laugh, but today even Mu Bai and the others have begun to have doubts...

Could it be that Senior Brother Xinghe really possesses such an ability?

Otherwise, how would he know we could get a bye this round...? Even without a spirit beast, Senior Brother Xinghe can still lead us to rampage and kill everything in sight...
