Can't let someone who's eaten shit be an elder

After seeing Tang Yu win the battle unscathed.

Ye Qiu's expression darkened.

This guy named Ling Jun, his talent is just so monstrous?

When he entered the outer sect with me, his cultivation level was not as high as mine.

They've actually broken through to the Celestial Realm just like me?

"He must have just broken through to the next realm recently. As long as he can't unleash his full power at the Celestial Realm, I can still beat him within thirty moves."

Ye Qiu thought to himself.

Wait until the 20-minute break is over.

The two then jumped onto the arena to decide who would be the number one inner disciple this year!

Upon seeing the seriously injured Ye Qiu step onto the stage, Tang Yu, with a mischievous glint in his eye, wondered if Ye Qiu would explode on the spot if he suddenly unleashed a Rigid Finger strike.

Of course, he only thought about it; he really wanted to use the Rigid Finger technique on this kid.

They also find a time when their identity can be revealed.

We can't reveal our hand yet.

Preventing Ye Qiu from becoming an elder is the best way to disrupt his plans.

"Junior Brother Ling, I didn't expect to be fighting you in the last match. Please enlighten me."

Although Ye Qiu disliked Tang Yu, he had to maintain a polite attitude for his aunt's sake.

"Senior Brother Ye, please show mercy."

Tang Yu smiled and extended one hand, surprisingly handing the initiative over to Ye Qiu.

Seeing this guy's attitude, Ye Qiu sneered inwardly and cursed him as an idiot.

Take the initiative back?

Then he can just wait to be knocked out of the ring within thirty moves.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu knew that he needed to finish the task quickly since he wasn't in good condition.

His inner energy surged like a waterfall, and the moment he attacked, he unleashed his full power, his figure transforming into several afterimages as he launched the first attack around Tang Yu.

Perhaps it's because the speed is too fast.

As he attacked, he created several afterimages, each unleashing a different attack.

It was as if several clones were launching an attack on Tang Yu.

The many inner disciples below the stage were immediately amazed; such a battle, where Celestial Realm expert was giving their all, was a rare sight, perhaps only a few times a year.

They also wanted to know which of the two disciples from different families, Ye Qiu and Ling Jun, was the better one.

Qiu Xiaozhu frowned slightly, watching the battle on the arena with some tension.

One was his own nephew, and the other was his own sworn disciple.

She doesn't want to see anyone get hurt.

Yes, especially the disciples of the vengeful spirit.

Overall, this guy is relatively harmless.

They cultivate defensive techniques, which shows they like to be kind to others. It would be so pitiful if they got hurt.

Ye Qiu's attacks on the stage became increasingly fierce, like a raging lion with bloodshot eyes.

However, what troubled him was that Tang Yu focused too much on defense, and his several successful attacks did not cause any damage to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu's counterattacks, however, gave him a hard time, further aggravating his already serious injuries.

After thirty moves, Tang Yu remained standing still, as immovable as a mountain.

Ye Qiu clearly felt his internal energy starting to wane.

After struggling to launch more than ten attacks, he had almost exhausted the last bit of his inner energy.

Ye Qiu stepped back to create some distance, looking at the elders below the stage with resentment in his heart, and said, "I lost."

He couldn't break through this guy's defenses at all.

This astonishing resilience reminded him of the man he hated most in his life.

Tang Yu!

Upon realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

That's right, I just arrived at the Nine Heavens Alliance, and this kid followed me in right after.

Could it really be that kid Tang Yu who got in disguise?

He knew perfectly well how disgusting that bastard's Disguise Technique were.

Once suspicion arose, he began to completely doubt this guy. He had felt very uncomfortable from the very first time he met him!

As Ye Qiu began to have doubts.

The elders have announced that Tang Yu has won first place in this year's inner disciple election.

After distributing the awards to the top-ranked disciples according to the established procedure.

Then came the election of elders.

Qiu Duanshui originally planned to defeat Ye Qiu run for elder.

But now he no longer has that mindset. He didn't even get first place, so he doesn't have the face to choose an elder.

Although Ye Qiu came in second, the second-place candidate is still eligible to run for elder.

"Ye Qiu, are you sure you want to run for elder?"

Upon hearing that Ye Qiu had applied to run for elder, the First Elder asked with a smile.

He was naturally happy to see disciples who were willing to actively apply to become elders.

The elders are the backbone of the Nine Heavens Alliance.

He had some doubts about Ye Qiu's identity at the time.

After the Third Elder investigated and confirmed that his background was innocent,

He was naturally pleased to see such a talented disciple become an elder.

"Yes."

Ye Qiu nodded and said firmly.

"Understood."

The elder smiled slightly, then looked at Tang Yu, who had just received the reward, and said irritably.

"Are you going to elect an elder, kid?"

"Choose! I'll offer my heart to the Nine Heavens Alliance!"

Tang Yu patted his chest and said.

The elder twitched the corner of his mouth. He had some prejudice against this young man because of his granddaughter's matter, but he also had the right to choose.

After it was decided that both of them would run for elder, the Grand Elder had them take turns speaking.

In previous years, there was usually only one disciple at the Heaven Realm, so this process was basically just a formality.

However, if the two are competing this year, it will depend on who can win the support of more inner disciples.

Ye Qiu was prepared for this.

He went up first, cleared his throat, and began his speech, looking at the many inner disciples below the stage.

The topic he wanted to discuss was simple: after becoming an elder, he would promote harmonious relationships between disciples with the surname Qiu and those with other surnames, and eliminate bullying among fellow disciples.

He then cited his own past actions as an example, stating that he deliberately dealt harshly with disciples surnamed Qiu in the hope that they could truly feel the pain of being suppressed and ostracized by disciples from other surnames.

These words garnered approval from many disciples from other clans who initially disliked Ye Qiu.

This was because Ye Qiu showed mercy to Qiu Duanshui and the two shook hands and made peace.

Many disciples surnamed Qiu also changed their opinion of Ye Qiu and chose to support him.

In this way, Ye Qiu immediately gained the consent of half of the people.

Seeing so many people supporting him, Ye Qiu smiled slightly, knowing that his position as an elder was secure.

Surely the remaining half of the people can't all support Ling Jun, right?

After Ye Qiu went down, Tang Yu came up.

He cleared his throat twice and said loudly, "After I become an elder, I will only do three things: fairness, fairness, and fucking fairness."

"I will crack down on the unhealthy tendencies that have quietly taken root within the Nine Heavens Alliance."

"Such egregious acts as bullying among fellow students, extortion, and trespassing in women's bathrooms must be thoroughly suppressed and eradicated!"

The group of victims in the audience were completely dumbfounded.

Damn it, isn't this all your doing, you son of a bitch?

The only thought was that once this kid became an elder, this situation could be completely eliminated.

Led by Qiu Guangji, a group of people took the lead in expressing their support for Tang Yu, and then other victims followed suit.

If Ye Qiu managed to win the support of half the people...

The remaining people were all Tang Yu's supporters.

The elders were somewhat dumbfounded to see that both of them had received so much support.

After the elder had a count of supporters made, each of the two men received 65 votes.

Even if one person gets just one more vote, the outcome is already decided.

"What... what do we do?"

The elder in charge of the statistics scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, regretting that he shouldn't have allowed the number of inner disciples to be even.

"Draw a lucky inner disciple and kill them to make the number odd?"

The eldest elder said with a wicked grin, causing the other elders to look at him with sweaty faces.

Just as everyone was at a stalemate...

Suddenly, an inner disciple in the audience shouted.

"Ling Jun is more suitable to be an elder. Ye Qiu has a history of corruption; we can't let someone who's had a history of corruption be an elder, can we?"
