This made it difficult for him to continue asking why he was being so kind to an unrelated disciple.

After arranging things for Lin Feng, Gu Qingxuan took the initiative to bring up Su He.

"By the way, the Tai Xuan Holy Land took away the Nine-Turn Phoenix Egg and has been interfering with the decisions of my Dao Tian Sect several times recently. It's time to make them pay a price."

"What are you planning to do?"

"It's simple. Go and bribe the elders in other sects to have their disciples kill Su He's disciples when they participate in the Hundred Sects Grand Competition."

In the Grand Tournament of a Hundred Sects, disciples from various sects will engage in combat.

During this period, even if someone accidentally killed a disciple of the opposing sect, Su He could not say anything.

That's their rule.

"There are age restrictions for participating in the competition. If Su He were to send out the Nine-Turn Phoenix, no one would be able to defeat it."

Nihuang Yu meets their age requirement of being under thirty.

Jian Gui was worried that if Su He released him, Su He would undoubtedly win the championship in the Hundred Sects Tournament.

Gu Qingxuan, who was in the cave, remained silent for a while before saying:

"We set the rules. The Nine-Turn Phoenix does not belong to the human race and cannot participate in the Hundred Sects Grand Competition."

"The one participating in this competition should be Su He's female disciple who obtained the Supreme Bone. Arrange for someone to dig out the Supreme Bone during the competition and then kill her."

"understood."

Jian Gui nodded slowly, then quickly headed outside to contact people from other major sects.

Su He, having reached the sixth level of Martial Venerable, stopped cultivating.

Forcing growth beyond one's potential is not advisable.

In the past few days, Su He has been using the Phoenix True Fire of the Rainbow Feather to help temper his own true essence.

On that very day, Liu Lian suddenly arrived at the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

"Sect Master, Liu Lian from Yunyao Cave has come to pay a visit."

Several disciples guarding the mountain gate came to Su He and reported the situation.

"Let her come over."

Su He was puzzled.

Logically speaking, Liu Lian had already had some disagreements with him when they were fighting over the Nine-Turn Phoenix Egg last time.

Although the matter was never brought up again, it was clear that the relationship between the two parties was not very good.

At this time, Su He couldn't think of any other possibility besides having something to ask for.

"Why did you suddenly decide to contact me?"

Su He looked at Liu Lian with a puzzled expression.

Liu Lian approached Su He and said somewhat awkwardly:

"The Hundred Sects Grand Competition is about to begin. How are your disciples' cultivation progressing? Are they confident they can win first place?"

"What, you want to discuss cheating with me?"

The Hundred Sects Grand Competition has a large number of participating sects.

There are many sects that communicate with each other in private.

They went to great lengths to get the reward.

After all, each sect has to spend a considerable amount of money to send its disciples in.

At this point, some of the weaker sects would feel displeased.

They are unlikely to gain much advantage from this competition.

This is tantamount to those major sects plundering them.

Naturally, many people sought out major sects in advance, hoping to join their ranks.

If the other party can achieve a good ranking, they will naturally receive a lot of rewards.

The rewards are the contributions made by the various sects.

These things will come after achieving a good ranking.

They were quickly returned to the sects that had already made the arrangements.

"That's right. Last time during the Hundred Sects Grand Competition, we only gave out one third-tier magic weapon. According to the rules, this time we should give out a fifth-tier magic weapon and at least a sixth-grade pill."

"This is a considerable pressure for Yunyao Cave."

Liu Lian stopped pretending, since Su He could see through her intentions at a glance.

She then brought up the matter of Nihuang Yu.

"You have a Nine-Turn Phoenix now. If you let the Nine-Turn Phoenix participate in this Hundred Sects Grand Competition, it should have a good effect and you can even win the championship."

"I'd like to discuss something with you; I'd like to give you some treasures."

"If we win this match, you'll return what we handed over, okay?"

Liu Lian was also well-versed in the survival strategies of small sects.

In situations like this, it's essential to seek out a stronger entity to rely on.

If she can't reach an agreement with Su He on this matter, then she'll have no choice but to go find other major sects.

But Liu Lian still feels that Suhe has a better chance of winning.

"So that's how it is."

Su He's heart stirred.

It seems that Daotian Sect does restrain the major sects.

However, their situation was not as harmonious as they had imagined.

"Aren't you afraid of the Dao Tian Sect causing you trouble by being so outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant?"

Liu Lian snorted coldly, feeling extremely angry at the mention of Daotian Sect.

"If the Dao Tian Sect hadn't forced all the major sects to hand over items and participate in the Hundred Sects Competition, we wouldn't have participated at all!"

The major sects below all have their own reservations about the Daotian Sect.

However, with a powerful figure in charge, everyone now fears Gu Qingxuan's strength.

Anyone who dares to take the lead at this time will surely face retaliation from the Daotian Sect.

So they didn't dare say much, and only dared to find opportunities in private.

Let's see if we can get back what we've sacrificed.

"Are the other major sects the same?"

Su He suddenly thought of a question, and Liu Lian nodded immediately upon hearing it.

"Yes, a small sect like ours only has one Martial King level expert in charge, so how many good things can we offer? But they insist that anyone who participates must offer a lot of good things as a prize."

"Every ten years, we have to send things out to foreign countries. Who can stand that? Last time, they complained that what we gave them was of too low quality, and this time they want us to give them something else!"

"If you agree, I can have several other sects similar to our Yunyao Cave come and discuss things with you. As long as you can help return the items, we will all give you some benefits."

We'll give Suhe some of the benefits now.

It's better than letting the Daotian Sect take everything away.

Many people have realized this now.

On the surface, Daotian Sect said they wanted them to participate in the competition.

Thus they competed for the title of champion and obtained the treasure.

In reality, however, this is a winner-takes-all situation.

Daotian Sect only needs to send out some talented disciples to secure a sure victory in this competition.

At that time, all the prizes submitted by the various sects will be handed over to them.

They can easily gain many benefits, and it's all perfectly legitimate and glamorous.

Such a sect is still considered the leader of the righteous path.

Calling them thugs wouldn't be an exaggeration.

After a moment of contemplation, Su He spoke:

"I understand what you mean, but I will not be sending Nihuang Yu to participate in the battle this time."
