The sect leader of Wuji Sect frowned: "A lot has happened since you entered the secret realm. Shen Zhang directly announced that he was severing ties with Shen Qingqing and took the Shen family back to Youyun City."

After leaving the Fenglei Sect, the sect leader and Cheng Jiangui hadn't really noticed what was happening outside. Only now did they realize that one of the seats in the audience was empty, and that the most foul-mouthed complainer was gone.

Cheng Jiangui stroked his chin and said, "Too fast."

Everything is happening too fast.

In Cheng Jiangui's eyes, although Shen Zhang was usually a bit foul-mouthed and did not do anything respectable, he would not easily give up his pawns, especially Shen Qingqing.

After all, they took the initiative to go to the main hall of the Qingyun Sect for Shen Qingqing, which clearly shows that Shen Qingqing brought enough benefits to the Shen family, and she shouldn't be abandoned so easily.

As a result, after Shen Qingqing became possessed by a demon, Shen Zhang severed all ties with her, leaving her completely.

It felt like deserting at the last minute.

The sect leader of Wuji Sect said, "We contacted several major families privately and arranged for people to go there. They should still be on their way."

"but……"

The sect leader of Wuji Sect had a premonition and voiced his concerns in advance: "It seems that some aristocratic families are subtly biased towards the Shen family."

He couldn't explain why, he just had this feeling.

The Shen family makes excellent prosthetics; they are of high quality and have received many positive reviews, which is clearly supported by a substantial customer base.

The sect leader of the Wind and Thunder Sect frowned: "Even now, someone is still using the Shen family's prosthetic limbs?"

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect shook his head: "No, that's all. Those more famous families have privately placed some restrictions on their disciples, telling them not to go to the Shen family to collect their prosthetics for the time being."

But they couldn't quite control the portion they had already received.

After all, the Shen family gave away the prosthetic limbs for free back then.

Looking back now, everything seems even more suspicious.

Fortunately, most aristocratic families are reasonable. The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect said to Cheng Jiangui, "The Lingxiao Sect will also continue to sell prosthetics, and those who asked you for a refund of their deposits should be received again."

Cheng Jiangui didn't seem to mind: "Sure."

Cheng Jiangui initially wanted to double the price, but at that moment, he felt it wasn't the time to make money, so he abandoned the idea.

The incident happened suddenly; they were still holding the Five Great Competitions, and many things were happening outside.

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect sighed and said, "Let's assign the task of investigating the Shen family to some other prominent families for now."

There has always been conflict between sects and aristocratic families.

The Five Sects couldn't directly attack the Shen family by bypassing some powerful clans, as this would easily escalate the conflict between the two forces and cause internal strife before the arrival of the Demon Clan, something no one wanted to see.

"The Zeng and Ji families of sword cultivators, and the Yao family of talisman cultivators, are all considered quite good families."

The Zeng family was closest to Youyun City, and after receiving the mission, they took the initiative to surround the Shen family.

The sect leader of Wuji Sect was at ease leaving it to them to inspect, and the five sects would also send some elders over.

The sect leader of Wuji Sect said, "We should continue investigating Shen Qingqing."

"We'll discuss the rest again after the competition ends."

With so many people around, the Shen family can escape, but they can't escape the temple.

With a plump bird perched on her head, both Yunxi and the bird pricked up their little ears, listening intently.

"Those in positions of power have a lot of trouble~"

The little girl sighed at Xie Mo.

If it were her, she would lead her men straight to the Shen family's house, arrest everyone, and torture them one by one with small leather whips, "whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

However, this was only Yun hope's personal idea. The five sect leaders wouldn't do that; they had many more things to consider. While investigating the Shen family, they also had to avoid conflict between the aristocratic families and the sects.

Xie Mo shrugged and offered, "Being a sect leader is indeed not something a human could do."

Cheng Jiangui: "???"

Cheng Jiangui raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, looking eager. "Don't say that, after all~"

He looked at Xie Mo with a loving expression: "You are my most favored successor~"

"???" Shemer: "What does this have to do with me?"

Cheng Jiangui blinked innocently and tucked his hands into his pockets: "Otherwise, who do you think I could choose from these people?"

Choose Su Yuanshuang? She rarely leaves her home; if she becomes the sect leader, she probably won't even be able to say anything shy.

Choose Nightfall? He could burn down the Lingxiao Sect completely.

Choosing Qi Jue? This kid can eat way too much. Cheng Jiangui thinks that in a few months, he will be able to completely bankrupt the Lingxiao Sect.

"????"

Yunxi looked to the left, then to the right, and pointed to the tip of her nose, her eyes revealing eagerness.

Cheng Jiangui looked at her: "..."

Cheng Jiangui then turned to Xie Mo, "So it's only you left."

Yunxi: "..."

Xie Mo: "..."

Yunxi was dissatisfied, Yunxi protested, Yunxi bared her teeth and brandished her claws.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the teleportation mirror shattered completely, and Nightfall was sent out.

The little girl's fierce gestures vanished instantly, and she rubbed against him like a puppy: "Third Senior Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Qi Jue also asked, "Third Senior Brother, what would you like to eat?"

Song Heming tentatively brightened his big eyes, trying to get away with it by being cute: "Third Senior Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Nightfall: (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄

Ye Jin tossed Song Hemian into the air without any emotion, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Eat, eat, let's go!"

"Yay!"

The frizzy-haired kid skipped and hopped after Ye Jin.

Cheng Jiangui was silent for two seconds, then repeated to Xie Mo, "It's only you."

Xie Mo: "..."

……

……

The first two rounds of the five-way tournament have concluded, and the current rankings are as follows:

Song Heming ranked first in the first match and third in the second match, with the highest score.

Ye Jin ranked second, followed by Yun hope, Lin Wuwang...

The judging panel added up the scores of the disciples from each sect. Lingxiao Sect had the most disciples in the top ten, and its sect score ranked first.

The final arena battle has begun.

The first event was the weapon crafting arena, where several weapon crafters from the Wuji Sect made their appearance early on.

With a disgusted look on his face, Ye Jin tossed a dazed child into the arena.

Game start.

Apart from Yun hope, the rest were all weapon cultivators from the Wuji Sect. She waved her claws at them in a friendly manner.

"..."

The rules for crafting and alchemy are quite similar; both require crafting items using tools specified by the referee within a certain timeframe.

The better the quality of the product, the higher the ranking.

Several contestants stared at the referee as he pushed a small cart over.

The red cloth on the car was pulled off.

Inside were several round, white eggs.

"???"

Yue Rou rubbed her eyes, looking confused, and asked, "That's it?"

The referee nodded: "That's all."

Each person starts with an egg, and can do whatever they want!
