Chapter 1478: Good Luck
s.Although they believed their physical bodies were definitely much harder than spider silk, even Zhan Tianli, a warrior who cultivated his physical body, didn't dare to touch the nine-colored light w...With the appearance of Dongfang Bo, Dao Tianyou's heart finally let go completely.
Although he didn't know why Dongfang Bo hadn't explicitly stated his relationship with Jiang Yun, and even allowed Dao Tianyun to wait for Jiang Yun to arrive before holding him accountable, he was clearer than anyone else that Dongfang Bo and his five disciples were the most protective of their own.
If Dao Tianyun really wanted to harm Jiang Yun, Dong Fangbo would absolutely not let him get away with it.
As for Dao Tianyun, although we can't grasp Dongfang Bo's true intentions, we dare not drive out the Shanhai Fenzong and Dao Tianyou in front of him, let alone eliminate them.
Therefore, he could only say impassively: "Since Senior Dongfang has spoken, let's put aside the matter of dividing the Shan Hai sect for now and wait for their Sect Master, Jiang Yun, to appear before making a decision!"
At Dao Tianyun's command, Dong Fang Bo removed the spatial restraints that had bound the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, allowing them all to return.
A catastrophe that threatened the entire Shan Hai Fen Zong was averted by Dong Fang Bo's arrival and a few casually spoken words.
However, everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is far from over. It has only been temporarily pushed back. When that Jiang Yun appears, this matter will once again ferment.
Of course, for Dongfang Bo and Jiang Yun, as well as the relationship between Shan Hai Fen Zong, even Dan Daozi and others were a little curious.
Although the identity of Shangdao's leader is not comparable to that of a Dao Sovereign, it is still slightly higher than the heads of the Nine Great Dao Sects.
Yet, the venerable head of the Daoist sect would unexpectedly become acquainted with Jiang Yun, someone no one had ever heard of before.
Moreover, seeing how Tiānyòu and Lánhuázhāo, as well as other members of the Shānhǎi Fēnzhōng, treat Dōngfāngbó, it's clear they are also extremely familiar with each other.
Of course they wouldn't have thought that Dongfang Bo had once been a disciple within the Shan Hai Wen Dao sect for several years.
They wouldn't even imagine that it wasn't just Dongfang Bo alone, but the three Great Palm Realms of this world who had all once been disciples within the Mountain and Sea Inquiry Dao Sects.
Even, these three great palm realms, there's also a common junior brother - Ginger Cloud!
……
Since the matter of the Mountain and Sea division has been put aside, then the internal competition of the Question Dao Sect naturally begins!
As for the rules of the big match, they haven't changed much compared to previous years.
The Grand Competition is divided into three processes: individual battles, team battles, and the challenge!
The individual and team battles take place simultaneously.
Because those who came to participate in the competition were Sects from ranks 5 to 9, it started from rank 5. Sects of the same rank competed against each other, with a total of three matches.
The first two matches were individual battles, while the last one was a team battle.
Group combat involves at least five members from each branch sparring with each other.
Best-of-three, winner advances, loser is eliminated until a single winner is determined at each level.
Naturally, this also means that out of the one hundred sub-sects participating in the grand competition, only five will emerge victorious.
Even if they win, it doesn't automatically guarantee them a place in the Questioning Heaven. Seven elders will evaluate the overall strength of the five sub-sects and then decide whether or not they can stay.
Besides the inter-class competition, there are also challenge matches!
That means each sub-sect has the opportunity to challenge other sub-sects, even those of higher rank!
For example, a Fifth-Grade sect can challenge any sect of Sixth, Seventh, or Ninth Grade.
Even divisions that have already been eliminated are eligible to challenge the winning division in the end.
If a same-level challenge is won, then the position of Fenzong can be directly replaced.
If a player succeeds in challenging a higher-ranked division, it is even possible to directly promote the rank of that entire division.
This is equivalent to giving each branch two chances, and most branches care most about the challenge match because this is the real opportunity to ascend in one step!
“Now, let's begin the draw! According to the order of your drawn lots, you will battle in pairs!”
The great Dao of Heaven with a single sweep of his sleeve, suddenly hundreds of bamboo slips floated before him. From each of the one hundred branches, disciples were sent forward to draw one slip.
To prevent cheating, each bamboo skewer is enveloped in a layer of light that can block divine senses.
Xia Zhongxing was about to stand up, but Dongfang Bo had already reached out a hand. He saw a bamboo stick directly fall into his hand. After glancing at the numbers on the bamboo stick, he smiled faintly: "Good luck, twenty!"
Anyone with eyes can see that this wasn't Dongfang Bo's luck. It was his divine consciousness piercing through the bamboo slips' light, intentionally choosing the last number to ensure Shan Hai Fen Zong got to perform last!
Although everyone was well aware of the situation, due to his status as a master of Shangdao Realm, people could only pretend not to see it.
Only An Chang shook his head, with a hint of displeasure, and said, "If I had known that Dong Fangbo was coming, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to speak well of them!"
Only after all the branch sects' lotteries were finished, Dao Tianyun spoke, "Starting from the fifth-grade branch sect, every branch sect, report your number!"
"Fifth class, the carrying of the Zong clan, number one!"
"Branch Five, Zong Qiming Branch, Number Two!"
……
"Fifth Grade Division, Glass Division, Number Nineteen!"
Upon hearing the name "Liuli's Sub-Sect," almost all of the other Sub-Sects immediately cast envious and gloating glances toward the Shan Hai Sub-Sect.
Because the Liuli Sect is extremely powerful. It not only consistently ranks first in the five-level sect competition for consecutive years, but it was originally a four-level sect. However, during the challenge match, it forcefully challenged one of the five-level sects and won, directly promoting to the five-level after victory.
Most importantly, Liuli is a branch of the Daoist sect and one of the seven branches that gave birth to the Light of Inquiry!
Logically speaking, the confrontation between the Luli School and the Shanhai School should have been the most exciting match among all five levels.
But the strength of Shanshui Fenzong was known to everyone. This competition was a complete massacre!
In their opinion, whether it's individual combat or group battles, the Shan Hai Fen Zong has absolutely no chance of defeating the Liu Li Fen Zong!
Even the people of the Shan Hai Fen Zong couldn't help but smile wryly. They had hoped that their luck might be better this time, encountering a weaker branch.
Although they didn't care whether they could stay in the Question Dao Heaven or not, they represented the Shan Hai Fen Zong after all, and represented Jiang Yun.
They also longed to win, hoping to prove themselves under the watchful eyes of everyone and bring honor to their Shan Hai Fen Zong, shining glory upon Jiang Yun's face.
But now it seems that this wish has been utterly dashed.
Although they are confident in their group battle performance, the two individual battles are undoubtedly going to be lost.
Dongfang Bo thought for a moment, glanced at Dao Tianyun, and said to himself: "Hey, I'm still a little anxious. I just want to drag out the time as much as possible, so that Shan Hai Fen Zong is the last one to take the stage, but I forgot to give them a weak opponent to choose from."
"This Heavenly Mandate is ruthless indeed. It's already retaliating against me so quickly!"
Dongfang Bo should have been able to see this. The reason why the Liuli faction was chosen as the opponent of the Shanhai faction in the Zongmen competition was a deliberate arrangement by the heavens.
That is to say, there are still four arena matches before the Mountain and Sea Sect's listing. Little junior brother, little junior brother, can you arrive before the four arena matches end
"If you can't make it, then Big Brother will just have to fight in your place!
"
Just then, Dao Tianyun once again boomed, “Alright, the Dao Zong Grand Competition is officially commencing!”
