Give Him the Chance to Get Beaten

Perhaps because the first match was too easy, the young cultivator leading the group of five even scoffed, "This is the Yin Mountain Sect that has been fighting the Moonless Household for so many years? The disciples' strength is so weak. Back in our sect, they would be easily wiped out!"

A short male cultivator behind him chuckled and replied, "Senior brother, how can you compare our place to this? This is the Hidden Nether Realm."

After saying that, all five of them couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if they had heard something amusing.

Given their attitude, not only Sect Master Liu, but even Moonless Household Head wore a cold expression.

The Moonless Clan and the Yin Mountain Sect have been evenly matched and fought for so many years. By belittling the Yin Mountain Sect, aren't these people indirectly implying that the Moonless Clan is weak?

Moreover, the sarcasm in the man's words, "This is the Hidden Nether Realm," was unmistakable, even if the Moonless Household Head wanted to ignore it.

Sang Ying coldly observed the ugly expressions on the faces of the crowd in the stands, and for the first time, she felt pity for the Moonless Household Head.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable if the person they invited made a fool of themselves in front of everyone.

But what can he do even if he's uncomfortable? After all, he's the one asking for favors, not the other way around.

The competition on the arena continued. The Yin Mountain Sect only had a little over a hundred people participating this time, and some of them were saved to participate in the third competition. They couldn't afford to get injured at this time.

Based on this calculation, at most five or six more batches of disciples can be added.

Liu Duanyue, her face cold, quickly found Sang Ying: "Perhaps you all shouldn't go to this competition?"

Although saying this might seem like he didn't trust Sang Ying and the others' abilities, the five-person formation on the arena was too powerful, and he was worried that Sang Ying and the others might get hurt because of it.

If this affects Sang Ying and the others' participation in the second round of the competition, then the Yin Mountain Sect will likely have a very difficult time winning this time.

"You don't need to worry about that. If we find anything wrong, we'll forfeit immediately." This rule is in place in the arena, so Sang Ying wasn't too worried.

Although Liu Duanyue was still somewhat worried, Sang Ying was ultimately in charge, so he couldn't force her to stay off the field.

"Oh, right, he's not going." Sang Ying pointed to Jiang Zhuoxue, "So we'll need your help to find three more people to make a group."

Liu Duanyue subconsciously looked over, but only saw the back of Jiang Zhuoxue's head—this kid didn't have a good attitude towards anyone except Sang Ying.

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Sang." Seeing that she couldn't persuade her otherwise, Liu Duanyue let her have her way.

However, he still remembered that Sang Ying and the other two had passed the trial grounds, so he chose three powerful teammates for them, two of whom were now Golden Core cultivators.

Upon seeing this, Sang Ying exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, " In the High Antiquity Cultivation World, Golden Core cultivators were as common as dogs!"

Another group of the Yin Mountain Sect disciples were defeated as soon as they went up, but this time the five opponents were not as nimble as before, and Sang Ying could see some signs of this.

When the three people arranged by Liu Duanyue gathered around, Sang Ying didn't stand on ceremony and gathered everyone together. "Everyone, today is the first match between our Yin Mountain Sect and the Moonless Household. The cultivators they sent are very strong, but even so, we cannot be discouraged."

Upon hearing her words, the three Yin Mountain Sect disciples immediately perked up.

"I've observed them. Those five are practicing a small-scale formation, where they act as the array's core, connecting their Spiritual Power to each other, and then incorporating the entire arena into their formation."

This was a topic no one had known before, and the three new teammates immediately became serious. Even Liu Duanyue quietly came over, wanting to hear Sang Ying continue.

Jiang Zhuoxue watched their actions and silently moved closer to Sang Ying, not giving anyone else a chance to get near her.

Sang Ying didn't notice any of this and continued speaking based on her observations, "So when we stepped onto the arena, it was as if we had directly stepped into the formation they had set up beforehand. These people were also very clever; they knew that lightning Spiritual Qi was extremely lethal to cultivators from the Hidden Nether Realm, so after the formation was completed, they conveniently dropped spirit orbs containing lightning Spiritual Qi. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, those cultivators and corpse puppets would be knocked down."

The people present looked on with sudden realization, and Liu Duanyue's eyes lit up instantly.

"But this formation is also easy to break. Their method succeeded because they took the initiative to set up the formation first. If we can disrupt their formation's core before it is activated, then the formation will not be able to take shape."

"Besides, we can also try to cut off their lightning Spiritual Qi after their formation is complete, or transfer their lightning Spiritual Qi to themselves. This will not only break their formation, but also make them suffer the consequences of their own actions!"

Sang Ying's words were like a lamp in the darkness, instantly giving the Yin Mountain Sect members hope. The methods she proposed were much easier than those they had previously thought of!

One of the female cultivators couldn't contain herself and asked, "Really? We can break this formation simply by disrupting their formation?"

"That's right!" Sang Ying nodded at her, "But the five of them have probably been practicing this formation for quite some time, and they've already fought against several groups of people on the arena. They'll definitely be able to injure someone faster than we are when they want to activate the formation."

Although it wasn't nice to hurt someone like that, Sang Ying still told the truth.

Seeing the disappointment reappear on their faces, Sang Ying added, "But you don't need to worry. Although we can't break their formation in one strike, we can isolate the lightning Spiritual Qi within it!"

Liu Duanyue almost blurted out, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Sang Ying smiled slightly, "Perhaps you are not aware, but I am a cultivator with Ice Spirit Root. They cannot break through my ice."

The eyes of the group lit up again. This time, even Jiang Zhuoxue, who was listening in, couldn't help but smile. He knew this person was the most vengeful and would definitely not let the Moonless Clan get away with it.

But it's okay, he holds grudges too!

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a sudden change occurred on stage.

First, the five-person team from the Moonless Household defeated the Yin Mountain Sect disciples once again. Then, the young man in the lead spoke up again without any politeness, "I heard that your sect recently recruited three cultivators who passed the trial of the Severed Vitality Mystic Realm. I wonder if they are here today? Do they dare to have a match with us?"

The man spoke as if he didn't know Sang Ying, but his gaze was clearly fixed on their group.

Looking again at the undisguised surprise on the Moonless Household Head on the high platform, it seemed that the Moonless Household was unaware of this incident beforehand. It appeared that the other party had heard of the three of them and deliberately came to cause trouble.

"Since they've already said that, why don't we give him the chance?" Gu Wangchuan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't suppress his eagerness.
