Unexpected Turn in the Decisive Battle

At the Myriad Spirits Sect, everyone is anxiously awaiting the outcome of Jiang Tao's negotiations.

Upon seeing Jiang Tao return, everyone asked, "How did it go? Did the Azure Cloud Sect agree? What should we do now? If war breaks out, what are the plans?"

Faced with the chattering crowd, Zhou Xuansheng waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What does the Azure Cloud Sect mean by this?"

Jiang Tao said with a smile, "As expected, Azure Cloud Master couldn't bear the tragedy that would affect hundreds of millions of lives on both continents, and agreed to our request for a duel."

"Very good!"

The people in the Myriad Spirits Hall couldn't help but cheer.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xuansheng felt a mix of emotions.

The Myriad Spirits Sect, one of the top sects in the world, is actually afraid of the Azure Cloud Sect to this extent?

He suppressed his agitation and asked, "Does the Azure Cloud Sect have no other conditions?"

"Yes!" Jiang Tao continued, "Azure Cloud Master will not participate in the battle; he will stay behind to oversee the rear."

Therefore, they dispatched other members of the Azure Cloud Sect, namely one person at the Dao Integration Realm, six people at the Primordial Spirit Realm, and three people at the Nascent Soul Realm.

There will be ten matches in total, each worth fifty billion Spirit Stone.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to Zhou Xuansheng, informing him that the Azure Cloud Sect had demanded Zheng Qianqiu return the precious Thousand-Mountain Seal.

This is something that cannot be said in front of others.

Zheng Qianqiu had just given the Myriad Spirits Sect an excellent idea that eased their situation, and the Myriad Spirits Sect immediately betrayed Zheng Qianqiu... Not to mention Zheng Qianqiu, many people would probably have a negative opinion of the sect.

Zhou Xuansheng frowned but remained silent.

He was well aware that the rest of the situation was already under control.

Based on their calculations of the Azure Cloud Sect's strength, they should ultimately lose 10 billion Spirit Stone.

The only problem is with Zheng Qianqiu.

It seems the Myriad Spirits Sect is preparing ample treasures to compensate Zheng Qianqiu, or... perhaps they'll simply make Zheng Qianqiu disappear completely?

Zhou Xuansheng was deep in thought, while the others beamed with joy.

The competition between the two sects proceeded as planned, and everyone was finally spared from fighting. This result was truly wonderful.

"Since that's the case, then let's send people to fight!" Zhou Xuansheng said calmly. "Jiang Tao, inform the Azure Cloud Sect that we will send people to duel them. Zhou Junchen, you select a few suitable people to compete against the Azure Cloud Sect. My bottom line is that the maximum compensation is 20 billion."

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will have them risk their lives, and they must win at least six matches," Zhou Junchen said solemnly.

This concerns the compensation owed by the Myriad Spirits Sect, and they cannot afford to take it lightly.

"Alright, go and make the arrangements!" Zhou Xuansheng looked at Zheng Qianqiu. "I said before that I would reward anyone who comes up with a solution handsomely. Come with me!"

Zheng Qianqiu was overjoyed and left with Zhou Xuansheng.

Subsequently, the Myriad Spirits Sect prepared its personnel for the competition and headed to the Azure Cloud Continent to prepare for the duel.

The following competition was like child's play.

The Azure Cloud Sect deliberately threw the game, while the Myriad Spirits Sect fought desperately to win. Could there have been any other outcome?

Cang Song was facing Peak Dao Integration Realm expert, a significant difference in their cultivation levels.

Cang Song was well aware of this situation, especially since the Peak Dao Integration Realm cultivators were putting on a desperate stance. Cang Song simply gave up after a few perfunctory attempts.

Although Biling Zi's Formation Dao are not weak, how could she possibly have the opportunity to set up an array during a duel?

The defeat was completely predictable.

Danchenzi and Huolingzi withdrew from the competition, refusing to play.

Although Baiyun Zi's Mind Power is strange, it is not very powerful without sufficient "theoretical" support.

Qingxu, a weapon refiner who came to see the world, also suffered a complete defeat.

This was something the Azure Cloud Sect was bound to concede defeat in the first place; their defeat was entirely predictable.

As for the Azure Cloud Sect, the ones they need to win against are Ling Yunzi and Zhang Yang.

Ling Yunzi was a sword cultivator, and he also possessed two Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts: the Spirit-Controlling Robe and the Evergreen Sword. He directly overwhelmed the Nascent Soul Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm.

Zhang Yang had already demonstrated his strength on the Prodigy Battlefield, directly crushing the Myriad Spirits Sect Nascent Soul Realm without any suspense.

These two matches are ones that the Azure Cloud Sect is absolutely determined to win, and two matches that the Myriad Spirits Sect is prepared to lose.

However, when the challenge came to Hualingzi, an unexpected event occurred.

According to the plan, Hua Hualingzi was supposed to concede defeat.

No one knows what went wrong with Hualingzi, but he used all his strength, drawing Talisman with a spirit brush in his hand.

Zhang Yang frowned and looked at Ling Yunzi beside him. "What's wrong, Fifth Uncle?"

Ling Yunzi and the others also frowned. Although Talisman Dao had considerable combat power, Hualingzi had almost zero combat experience.

Over the years, Hualingzi has only been involved in Demon Suppression; how could she possibly have had a chance to fight?

Meanwhile, the Myriad Spirits Sect sent out a Primordial Spirit Realm Peak with extensive combat experience, who was even adopting a desperate stance.

In this situation, facing Hualingzi is almost an absolute suppression.

According to the plan, Hualingzi should admit defeat and stop arguing.

However, Hualingzi wielded his talisman brush, drawing Talisman on the arena, struggling to withstand the Nascent Soul Realm expert from the Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm, refusing to admit defeat.

Zhou Junchen frowned and said to Cang Song, "Your people are no match for us. Is there any point in fighting?"

He was a little worried that if the Nascent Soul Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm fought desperately to win and killed Hualingzi, the Azure Cloud Sect would definitely turn against them.

At that time, the situation that the Myriad Spirits Sect had worked so hard to achieve would be ruined.

Ling Yunzi sighed and said to Zhang Yang, "Why don't we let the fifth brother come down?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "Although I don't know what's gotten into Fifth Uncle, it's clearly inappropriate to admit defeat on his behalf now. Old Daoist, if Fifth Uncle is in danger, prepare to rescue him, and don't worry about the Myriad Spirits Sect's attitude."

Cang Song began to prepare diligently, ready to strike at any moment.

On the arena, the Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm sneered at Hualingzi, saying, "You've only studied the Talisman Dao a little, but you don't understand how to use Talisman Dao in combat at all. You're no match for me. So, you can step down now."

Hualingzi hastily drew a talisman, forming a wind barrier to block his opponent's Method Formula.

Then he laughed.

With a flick of his magic brush, he shouted sharply, "Withdraw!"

The finishing touch has been applied.

Then, you could see that the chaotic Talisman he had drawn at the beginning all converged together with his last Talisman.

Countless Talisman gradually coalesced into a scroll painting.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm from the Myriad Spirits Sect, who was on the arena, was pulled into the painting by the countless converging Talisman.

The Myriad Spirits Sect cultivator of the Myriad Primordial Spirit Realm was shocked and hurriedly struggled with all his might.

However, the entire arena is now enveloped by that "painting," and he is now inside it, unable to escape.

Then, all you can do is watch helplessly as you are pulled into the painting.

The Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator was horrified. If he were captured within the scroll, what other outcome could he possibly face?

"Burst!"

He simply admitted defeat; shouldn't he at least try for a draw?

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted from the arena, the violent force tearing the entire arena apart and finally ripping open Hualingzi's painting.

Hualingzi ultimately failed to pull the Myriad Spirits Sect Primordial Spirit Realm into the painting, and the defensive Spirit Artifact also withstood the power of the self-destruction.

He won in the end.

Having won the match, Hualingzi, though panting, looked at Zhang Yang with an arrogant expression. "You brat, am I old yet?"
