Three Great Sects, Nothing More Than Abandoned Pawns

The night wind blew in through the cracks in the window, causing the flame of the oil lamp to flicker.

The dormitories temporarily provided by the college were completely cold at the moment.

Dai Mubai waited, Tuo Ba Chuo and Hu Qian arrived late, and Feng Chang woke up.

The four of them stared at each other, with Dai Mubai getting glared at the most!

Others are still resentful of his misjudgment!

Hu Qian the first to get restless.

He stood up and paced anxiously around the room, his boots pounding on the floor.

"How about... we admit defeat?"

He took a deep breath, as if making a decision.

"Tomorrow we will announce that the three disciples are outmatched and have voluntarily withdrawn from this competition."

"Pack your things and leave tonight; that way you can at least salvage the last bit of dignity!"

Feng Chang suddenly flew into a rage, his bloodshot eyes contorting into a ferocious rage.

"Hu Qian! What the hell did you say?!"

He stood up, bracing himself against the edge of the table, his fingertips digging into the wooden table, making it creak.

"This morning you told me that the Black Tiger Sect has a trump card and that they're guaranteed to win tomorrow's match!"

"You've already given up after only half a day? Why are you acting like a coward Hu Qian? I'll buy you turtle food!"

Hu Qian's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and he glared at Feng Chang, saying, "Times have changed!"

Even if I use my trump card and win the match, Ye Hua will still kill me!

"If you're so capable, go and deal with Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and the Titled Douluo of the Long Night Alliance!"

Feng Chang choked up and couldn't muster any rebuttal.

He slumped back into his chair, covering his face with his hands.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have agreed then; he invited others to watch the game."

"If it's just a private sparring match, even if our methods are dishonest, he can't very well kill us all."

"Now look what's happened. Everyone of importance on the entire continent is watching. We've been caught red-handed, and we can't deny it even if we want to."

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere grew even heavier.

Tuo Ba Chuo sighed, "That's not how it works."

"By inviting others to watch, he'll find it harder to kill us!"

"Otherwise, he could easily make us disappear without a trace and then come up with a plausible excuse!"

The Feng Chang shivers as Hu Qian.

Neither left nor right is acceptable!

Perhaps, they shouldn't have come in the first place!

Just then, a soft laugh came from the corner.

"Oh."

The three of them turned around at the same time and found that it was Dai Mubai.

The Third Prince Dai, who hadn't uttered a sound since entering the room, was now half-reclining on the sofa.

Hu Qian fury, "Dai Mubai, how dare you laugh!"

"If it weren't for your instigation, would we have become enemies with Ye Hua?"

Dai Mubai looked up and met the fiery gaze, but his smile remained unchanged.

"Elder Hu, that's not a fair thing to say."

"This matter involves more of your interests; I was merely acting as a go-between."

Hu Qian furious and raised his hand to slap, but fortunately Tuo Ba Chuo stopped him.

Dai Mubai looked out the window at the dark night.

The night breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead.

"Besides, even if they escape, where can they escape to? A sect? The Tianya?"

"Have you considered that, given Ye Hua's vengeful nature, even if you admit defeat tomorrow and leave overnight, he might not let you go?"

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Dai Mubai closed his eyes and sighed.

"Ma Hongjun offended him and was assassinated."

"If Tang San offends him, he will be childless and suffer a fate worse than death."

"There was an element of luck in me meeting you all."

"And you, in front of the entire continent, dare to cause trouble and challenge us!"

Do you think he won't settle scores later?

Hu Qian deathly pale.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I can't deny that he was telling the truth!

They dared to come only because Ye Hua was absent, and because of their so-called "righteousness"!

Today's surprise attack resulted in the loss of half of [Dayi], but Ye Hua and the Night Alliance Leader have returned!

That's a real disaster!!!

Fortunately, Tuo Ba Chuo noticed something amiss, his eyes gleaming.

"Third Prince Dai, if you have a backup plan, you might as well speak up."

Dai Mubai had been waiting for these words!

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "Ye Hua's Long Night Alliance is indeed strong, with many Titled Douluo. But it has few members and a small territory."

"His territory, Notting City, has neither garrisoned troops nor high walls; it relies entirely on his powerful subordinates to maintain order."

"If you win tomorrow, an army of over 100,000 will suddenly advance and besiege Notting City..."

Feng Chang suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting sharply.

"An army of over 100,000?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have just fought alongside Ye Hua, how could they possibly send troops to besiege us!"

Dai Mubai remained calm and composed, revealing a mysterious smile.

"I never said those were the armies of Two Great Empires."

"Ah?!" The three Elder were all astonished.

Dai Mubai straightened up, crossed his arms, and admired the expressions on their faces.

"All you need to know is that I have a way to turn Notting City into an isolated city!"

"Only if you can win tomorrow, otherwise my plan can't be implemented."

"At that time, even if Ye Hua has extraordinary abilities, he'll have to obediently bow his head!"

"What you have lost, you will get back!"

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

The three Elder stared at each other for a long time, their expressions shifting.

According to the bet, if the sect truly loses, it must withdraw from the Seven Great Sects.

We have no way to explain this to the sect leader!

Tuo Ba Chuo shook his head slightly, "Going back is a dead end anyway, so we might as well take a gamble."

Hu Qian his teeth and finally slammed his fist heavily on the table.

"Okay! I'll trust you this time!"

Dai Mubai smiled broadly and cupped his hands in greeting to the three of them.

"Then the three Elder should rest early. See you at the arena tomorrow."

He stepped aside to make way for the doorway, gesturing for them to enter.

The three Elder, each with their own thoughts, stood up and filed out.

As the last footsteps faded into the distance at the end of the corridor, the smile on Dai Mubai's face vanished instantly.

He walked quickly to the bedside, bent down, and pulled out a package that had been packed long ago from under the bed.

The movements were swift and precise, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

"Heh, the three major sects are just pawns for show!"

"I used money to spread rumors and fool them with a few words, and they actually believed it!"

"And that stupid pig who's always provokes people he can't afford to mess with!"

Dai Mubai stayed up until late at night, and only set off when the guards on duty were all exhausted.

He slung the package over his shoulder, opened the back window, and nimbly climbed out.

A night breeze swept over me, carrying the chill of early autumn.

"Tang San..."

"Don't let me down."

As long as we can hide in the Clear Sky Sect without anyone noticing and escape Dai Weisi's pursuit and Ye Hua's revenge!

He will eventually be able to cultivate like crazy during this time and Transcendence his brother Dai Weisi!

As for the three major sects and that stupid pig king, let them be his scapegoats!

Dai Mubai spurred his horse and rode off!

The night was thick, the sound of horses' hooves faded into the darkness.

The following day, Shui Bing'er also took to the stage amidst a crowd of admirers!
